Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 71

At this moment, in class D of the first year, Konoe Lianghua and the three were sitting and waiting for Higashinoji to come over.

"Hey, what do you think Higashino wants?" Fujiwara Aoi asked the two buddies.

After all, it was an agreement with Dong Yesi, so she didn't regret leaving.

It's just that she couldn't figure out why Dong Yesi suddenly found the three of them.

"Ah? Isn't it just drawing new manga?" Takahashi Yumi didn't quite understand Fujiwara Aoi's words, and replied happily: "It's good to have new manga to read, and you can eat and drink for free, right? "

"You just know how to eat and drink!" Fujiwara Aoi reached out and patted Takahashi Yumi on the head: "I mean, why does Higashino suddenly want to draw a new manga? It's already very difficult to serialize in the weekly magazine? Isn't it more difficult?"

"Yeah, this is really strange." Takahashi Yumi also showed a puzzled expression after hearing this.

As long as the serialization of "Midnight Bell" is maintained, Higashino Division should have no worries about food and clothing, why should he continue to open a new manga instead?

You must know that there are many examples of comic book authors who failed in transformation and failed to recover after a setback, because readers have already formed an 'inherent impression' of the comics you drew before.

So when you transform, they will only find it awkward.

"Lianghua, what do you think? Could it be that Mr. Dongye likes you, so he just made up an excuse?"

Takahashi Yumi asked Konoe Lianghua openly.

"Ah? Hey? Me, I don't think it should be." Konoe Lianghua replied in a low voice: "And I'm also surprised that Mr. Higashino painted two oil paintings for the Youth Painting Award by himself, saying that he participated in the adult group at the same time." In the competition with the student group yesterday, I also agreed to the president of Mutiao to do the calligraphy vertical banners and sculpture exhibits of the Beiyiju Art Festival"

She rested her chin with her hand, thinking deeply, and finally couldn't help muttering: "Why is he so powerful?"

"Huh? To paint two oil paintings at the same time? And to assist the student union in making vertical scrolls and sculpture exhibits?"

Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi looked at each other, both of them were so surprised that they couldn't speak.

Although they don't know oil painting, they still know common sense. An oil painting can't be taken for ten days and a half months. At the same time, they have to take care of manga, and then they have to study sculpture and calligraphy.

"Truly talented."

Fujiwara Aoi bit her thumb, and it took a long time before she reluctantly admitted this fact.

"But why is he still drawing new manga when he's so tired?" Yumi Takahashi still didn't understand.

"It's probably because Higashino's family is short of money, right? The family situation of Higashino has been rumored a while ago." Konoe Lianghua explained next to him.

Higashino Division's family situation?

Only then did Fujiwara Aoi and the others think of the story about Higashino Division that had been rumored in school before.

It seems that something happened to his family. Not only his parents died, but even his biological sister was mentally disturbed.

"" Takahashi Yumi, Fujiwara Aoi.

It was rare for the two of them to argue about one thing.

After all, if this kind of thing happened to them, they would have collapsed a long time ago. They would still be like Higashinoji, cheerful and optimistic every day.

When they were relatively silent, Higashino's voice suddenly sounded: "Fujiwara-san, how are you getting ready? You can go now."

"Uh, sure, are you ready? It's almost there, we can go now."

Fujiwara Aoi just heard about Higashino Division, but she didn't expect the Lord to come so soon, so her behavior seemed a bit unnatural.

"Huh? What's the matter with you? Is there any inconvenience?"

Higashinoji was keenly aware of the unnaturalness in the air, and asked back with a smile.

"No, nothing, let's go." Fujiwara Aoi thought that it would be better to treat Higashinoji as usual, after all, the other party should not want her and others to know about his family affairs.

But before she finished thinking about it, Takahashi Yumi stood up and took out her wallet with a face full of disappointment to stuff it into Higashino's hand: "Mr. Higashino, you must be short of money. Come on, I can give you all my pocket money." You, you must not force yourself."

This sudden move not only caused Aoi Fujiwara to cover her head with her mouth wide open, even Higashino was stunned.

what happened?Why did you suddenly treat me like a beggar?

The monk who was still ten feet old was puzzled, but with Konoe Lianghua's explanation, he understood what happened.

"So that's what happened."

Taking Fujiwara Aoi and the others out of the Beiyi School, Higashino shook his head with a smile: "But thank you for your concern, my sister and I are living a good life now, and drawing new manga is not mainly for money, you can see it as improving myself one of the means."

At the same time, he sighed a little.

Sure enough, like attracts like, and people are divided into groups.

Konoe Lianghua is a very kind girl, so the friends around her are also very kind.

From their eyes, Higashinoji did not feel the superiority and sympathy in the eyes of other students, but a touch of concern.

That's enough.

Too much concern turns into sympathy, and too much sympathy will only make people more uncomfortable.

This kind of neither heavy nor light feeling is just right.

"Instead of caring about that kind of thing, why not recommend your favorite street restaurant to me." Higashino waved his hand: "Of course, what I said before still counts, I treat you."

"Ah?" Hearing what Higashino said, Fujiwara Aoi coughed twice, deliberately approached Higashino and lowered the volume: "Higashi-san, I have no objection if you want to treat me, but I want to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"She is very good at eating cold flowers."

While talking in a low voice, Fujiwara Aoi glanced at Konoe Suzuka who had been walking beside Takahashi Yumi without speaking.

Very edible?

Higashino thought to himself how much Konoe Lianghua can eat?A little girl can only eat two or three bowls at this age, right?Is it possible to still eat two or three pots?

Among other things, Dong Yesi felt that it was completely fine for him to raise Konoe Lianghua.

So he smiled and replied to Aoi Fujiwara: "It's okay, I told you I'm treating you, so just order what you want."

"It's not Higashino, you don't understand the seriousness of the matter, you"

"Don't worry, it's alright."

Higashino Division smiled and waved his hands, indicating that there is no big problem.

"Really?" Fujiwara Aoi glanced at Konoe Lianghua worriedly, and then said nothing.

After all, it would be a bit discrediting to my friends to say it any further.

She shut up and followed Konoe Lianghua who led the way.

After a few bus stops, Higashinoji and Fujiwara Aoi got off at Toshima District.

Then there is walking.

After walking for about ten minutes, Konoe Lianghua brought Higashinoji and the others to a residential commercial street in Toshima District.

This place belongs to that kind of old commercial street. There are many old wooden dim sum houses in Japan. There are also special retro model gashapon machines next to a few of the rough dim sum houses, which cost [-] yen per twist. kind of.

At the same time, there is a whole street of wine houses inside

This is a street that feels very retro and down-to-earth.

The dilapidated signs on both sides, the retro navy blue door curtains, the erected telephone poles, and the intricate wires above the head.

There is no such a luxurious image of Tokyo, everything here is full of life in Tokyo

Unlike those chain restaurants in Japan with a glamorous appearance, here, it seems that you can really taste the taste of Japanese residents' cuisine

"It's really delicious here."

Konoe Suzuka took Higashinoji to stop at a restaurant called 'Washi Tei'.

For some reason, Higashino seems to vaguely feel that Konoe Liangka's eyes are a little glowing
