Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 83 The Gap Between People

'I am better than them'.

Higashino Tsukasa kept his voice low so that no one else could hear him, but Madoka Fukushima was taken aback for what he said as a matter of course.

Perhaps it was the bonus that a confident boy is particularly handsome, or maybe it was because Higashino Tsukasa stood up to protect himself, Madoka Fukushima covered her mouth after a daze, and said 'hmm' with a flushed face.

Then she looked at Dongyesi's neck with some curiosity, and asked incomprehensibly, "Student Dongye, why are you wearing a scarf? Is the air conditioner in the venue very cold?"

And the scarf is obviously poorly woven and doesn't match the black and white dress.

"This is the best gift I have received this year." Higashino replied cheerfully, "I want to share the honor of this awards ceremony with the person who gave the gift, so I wear it."

"Really? Is that person watching the awards ceremony next to the TV?" Madoka Fukushima glanced at the wool fabric on Higashinosi's neck after hearing this, and looked back with some envy.

I don't know who the person who gave Higashinoji the scarf should be his girlfriend, right?

She also wanted to share the honor of double gold awards with that person, which naturally made her a little envious.

"She should be watching TV." Dong Yesi replied.

As long as it was something related to him, Higashino Chihaya would most likely not miss it.

"Is that so?" Madoka Fukushima wanted to say something, but she quickly shut up when she saw a middle-aged man in a black dress walking up to the podium.

The awards ceremony is about to begin.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Takahashi Yumi's house.

"Look, look! Teacher Higashino is here!" Takahashi Yumi patted Fujiwara Aoi, who had just finished a shower and was cleaning his glasses, feeling very excited.

Seeing that Fujiwara Aoi didn't return her, she simply reached out and patted the other person's back vigorously.

Fujiwara Aoi ate Takahashi Yumi for a while, before she had time to come back up, and then ate Takahashi Yumi for a while, and coughed heavily.

Seeing this, Lianghua Konoe came over and gently stroked her back.

"Short, what's the matter with you? You don't need to be so excited even if Mr. Higashino showed his face?" Takahashi Yumi looked back and said to Fujiwara Aoi who had just caught her breath.

This made Fujiwara Aoi open his mouth, and then slapped Takahashi Yumi's ass in a panic.

"What are you doing?"

Takahashi Yumi felt the pain, covered her buttocks and looked at Fujiwara Aoi behind her with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph." Fujiwara Aoi hummed unhappily, ignored Takahashi Yumi, put on her glasses and looked at the TV.

On the TV, Higashinoji's table is in a very conspicuous place, especially Higashinoji, as long as he moves a little, the audience in front of the camera can notice him.

In the huge venue, his place is regarded as the main position.

"It's really on TV, but why is he wearing a scarf?" Fujiwara Aoi murmured to herself incomprehensibly, looking at the unnerved Higashinoji in the picture.

"Maybe the air conditioner is too cold?" Takahashi Yumi calmed down and analyzed.

"I don't think it might be," said Konoe Lianghua on the other side in a low voice.

Tokyo has recently entered the end of summer, and the temperature continues to rise. There is a feeling of a short-term recovery of the autumn tiger.

Wearing a dress in this weather is enough to make people sweat profusely, and wearing a scarf can be said to be torture.

But Higashino-san is not an unconventional person either.

Konoe Lianghua also didn't understand.

"No matter what, it's a good thing to be on TV." Takahashi Yumi looked at Higashinoji on TV: "He's really famous now."

Aoi Fujiwara and Konoe Suzuka next to each other didn't speak.

After all, what Takahashi Yumi said was the truth, Higashinoji really made a small name this time.

People in the circle around Beiyi School probably spread the word soon.

But what was different from Fujiwara Aoi and Konoe Suzuka was Hosokawa Koharu's reaction when he saw the familiar scarf color.

"Teacher Dongye?!"

Looking at the somewhat blurred young man's face on TV Asahi, Hosokawa Koharu wiped his eyes with his hand, wondering if he had read it wrong, or was he hallucinating?

But she wiped her eyes several times, and the area around her eye sockets became red. When she looked at it again, Dong Yesi's appearance was still on the TV.

Although the cameras are a bit far away and the pixels are blurry, Hosokawa Koharu, who has dealt with Higashino Division several times, will never admit it wrong—even if she admits it wrong, it is impossible for her to put that rough scarf Acknowledge your mistake.

"It's really Mr. Tono"

Hosokawa Koharu who had just taken a shower sat down on the sofa, muttering to himself in disbelief.

The person above is indeed Higashinoji, I read that right.

Hosokawa Koharu originally wanted to watch the news when he turned on the TV that had been dusty due to "Midnight Ring" after taking a shower, but he didn't expect to see Higashinoji as soon as he came up.

This is really

Hosokawa Koharu squinted at the announcement explanation at the bottom of the screen - "Scene of the Japan Art Education Association Tokyo Youth Painting Award Ceremony".

"Ms. Higashino went to participate in the Tokyo Youth Painting Award?"

She scratched her hair, really confused.

Teacher Dongye still has this skill?Not only comics, but also oil paintings?

Hosokawa Koharu is no stranger to the Tokyo Youth Painting Award. After all, the Japan Art Education Association and Urashima Publishing House are located in Chiyoda District, and their propaganda efforts are very strong, so she knows more or less about it.

but--

Higashino-sensei, you are too versatile, right?

Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help thinking of her high school.

At that time, she studied hard, and talked about an "unforgettable" love, and then she has been single until now.

Then?Then there is no more.How can directly joining Urashima Publishing House after graduating from university compare to Higashinoji's colorful high school life?

"I can't accept it." Hosokawa Koharu looked at Higashinoji on the TV, feeling somewhat unacceptable.

It is said that there is a big gap between people, but only when we put it into reality can we find out——

"The gap between humans is greater than the gap between humans and dogs"

Hosokawa Koharu, who originally wanted to jump to watch variety shows, did not jump off the stage, so he just watched the awards ceremony of the Tokyo Youth Painting Award.

I don't know what award Mr. Higashino will get.

"The gold prize for the student group should be fine, right?" Hosokawa Koharu muttered.

Given the painting skills of Higashinoji's "Midnight Bell", there shouldn't be much of a problem with the gold prize in the student group.

"No, if it's Higashino-sensei, then maybe it's the Gold Award for the adult group." Hosokawa Koharu shook his head to dismiss his thoughts, and at the same time proposed a bolder idea.

It's not so easy to get the gold reward in the adult group.

But if it's Higashinoji

"Maybe I got it."

Hosokawa Koharu muttered to himself, and said with certainty.

That's right, that's Mr. Higashino, the author of "Midnight Ring".

It's not a big problem to win the gold prize in the adult group!
