Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 69 I'm Sorry I'm Sorry!

"The content of the original manuscript of the third chapter has been submitted to the editor."

Higashino still somewhat explained: "I don't have the original manuscript at all, but Takahashi-san can look forward to next week's "Aversion to Chill", which will be released in a few days."

Higashinoji's words obviously did not satisfy Takahashi Yumi. She let out an 'ah' in astonishment, then pursed her mouth, bit her thumb, and looked disappointed: "Are you going to wait until the release of "Aversion to Chill" again this week?"

Seeing Takahashi Yumi's appearance clearly fascinated by the plot of "Midnight Ring", Higashino thought to himself that it's fortunate that you haven't read "The Lonely Gourmet" I am going to draw.

It was published once a month, and the toxicity of food was much stronger than that of "Midnight Bell".

Aoi Fujiwara was on guard, and Yumi Takahashi was lost, so Konoe Suzuka was left alone: ​​"Higashi, what's the matter, Mr. Higashino?"

She half-raised her head and asked in a low voice, compared to the previous appearance of not daring to approach Dong Yesi, she has improved a lot.

"Ah, there are some things that need your help." Higashinoji responded with a smile.

Need help with something?

The trio of Konoe Lianghua high school girls looked at each other.

Before they could speak, Higashino added: "I know that the sudden invitation will definitely make everyone feel embarrassed. If possible, please listen to me before making a decision, is that okay?"

He spoke with sincerity and looked serious.

This made Fujiwara Aoi, who was planning to refuse at the beginning, hesitate for a while, and finally nodded - at worst, listen to what Higashino has to say before refusing.

And Yumi Takahashi next to her smacked her lips in frustration, and muttered unwillingly: "I don't even let me read the third episode of "Midnight Ring", and I want my help."

Could it be that you can still draw new comics for me?

Fortunately, I am still your loyal reader!

Thinking of this, Yumi Takahashi became even more unhappy.

"The main thing I ask for your help this time is the creation of new comics." Higashino Division spread the matter out with a smile: "Because of the newly prepared food comics, I want to visit some small places on the street."

"New manga? Or gourmet manga?"

Now it's not just Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara, two readers who have been watching "Midnight Ring", expressed surprise.

Even Konoe Lianghua next to him couldn't help but take another look at Higashinoji.

Because even she, who doesn't read manga very much, knows how difficult it is for a manga author to double-open - Higashinoji and "Midnight Bell" are being serialized.

On the other side, Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but look at Higashinoji more, thinking that maybe this kid succeeded in "Midnight Ring" too easily, so he fantasized about drawing another manga of the same level as "Midnight Ring" .

This is not because Fujiwara Aoi looks down on Higashino Division, but based on facts.

After all, it is very difficult for a comic author to transform, let alone switch from horror comics to gourmet comics-this cannot be called a transformation, it is simply a transformation.

From the stinky, weird, and scary "Midnight Bell" to a bright, warm, and fragrant gourmet comic?

Are you sure you can draw delicious food?

But before Aoi Fujiwara could speak, Yumi Takahashi next to her asked Higashino with sparkling eyes: "Is it Mr. Higashino's new manga?"

"To be precise, it is like this." Higashinosi thought for a moment and answered her: "To be precise, I don't know where there is a delicious home cooking restaurant, so I need your help. Of course, as a thank you gift, I will serve you food Fee."

"Then I'll help!" Yumi Takahashi nodded without hesitation.

You can also see the appearance of the comic author when he created it, and you can eat and drink for free, this fool will not agree.

Fujiwara Aoi on the side was still hesitating, but when she heard that Takahashi Yumi defected without hesitation, she also sighed softly: "Okay, then I will go too."

She always felt that if she didn't follow her, Takahashi Yumi, a fat-ass idiot, would be handed over to Higashinoji.

Two of the three have already agreed, and the only thing left is——

"Hey?" Konoe Lianghua saw the three of Higashinoji looking at her, pointed at herself with her index finger, opened her mouth, and finally lowered her head: "Then I will go too."

She has a weak temper and soft ears, so she is naturally obedient.

"Actually, Lianghua is the only one among us who often eats out. She doesn't know how to cook."

After Konoe Suzuka agreed, Takahashi Yumi's mind became active, and she began to leak black information about Konoe Suzuka.

"Really?" Higashinosi glanced at Konoe Lianghua in surprise.

The last time he saw Konoe Lianghua go home with ingredients in his hands, he didn't expect that the other party was just a showman.

"I'm still practicing." Konoe Lianghua's snow-white face turned red all of a sudden, and she waved her hands in front of her chest: "It's just that I'm not very proficient."

After finishing speaking, she patted her head, gave a smirk, and stopped talking.

But her silence doesn't mean that Takahashi Yumi next to her will let her go: "What is practice?"

Takahashi Yumi said cheerfully: "Last time Lianghua bought a live fish, it was supposed to be slapped with the back or blade of the knife until it was stunned and then killed, but Lianghua's first slap was a bit weak, and she didn't faint. I didn’t dare to hold the fish down, so the fish jumped around.”

"In the end, she apologized with 'I'm sorry', and slapped the fish on the head with the back of the knife, causing the fish to jump around in pain. Ah Kui couldn't help but go up to help."

"Uh..." After hearing this, Higashino took another look at Konoe Lianghua, thinking that this seemingly honest girl is also a good torturer.

Just listening to Takahashi Yumi's mouth, Higashinoji could imagine that the live fish was jumping around in pain, and Konoe Lianghua was so scared that he kept slapping the live fish with a knife in his hand, and there was still water in his mouth. Screaming 'sorry' scene.

Those who didn't know thought Konoe Lianghua was knocking on the wooden fish.

Higashino guessed that the fish's mentality would collapse after being photographed. If it could talk, it would probably beg Konoe Lianghua to kill it.

"I'm still practicing." Feeling Higashinoji's inexplicable gaze, Konoe Lianghua muttered in a low voice: "I won't be a fish anymore."

"Anyway, we are willing to help with this, Mr. Higashino, what time is it?"

Fujiwara Aoi asked.

"It's about an hour after school. Is it okay for you to wait for me in your class?"

Higashino still has wood carving tasks to do, and it will take at least an hour to carve, and then go to class to find Konoe Lianghua and the others. There should be no problem.

"Yeah. That's the deal. It just so happens that Stupid Pig still has activities for the Kendo Club to complete."

Fujiwara Aoi nodded.

She can stay at school and finish the homework left by the teacher, while Takahashi Yumi has a job in the Kendo club, and it is more reasonable to gather emotion and reason after an hour.
