Tokyo life starting with painting

Higashinoji obviously didn't know what Hosotani Koharu had been through in the past two days.

But now that news has come from over there, it means there is still some hope.

He walked out the door in a relaxed mood, and even the apartment manager outside who liked to shout all the time was particularly pleased with him.

Tokyo, Japan, 2003.

There is no WIFI or smartphones in this era.

Japan has just emerged from the impact of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and everything feels shaky and hollowed out.

It took Higashinoji, a person who traveled through time in 2020, more than ten days to adapt to Tokyo in 2003.

As he walked along the slope, high school girls with dyed hair walked past him from time to time, with childish pride on their faces with exaggerated makeup like monsters.

This Shibuya trend has been popular in Japan for a long time in the early 21st century.

In Japan in 2003, high school girls wearing folded bubble stockings, dyed hair, and shiny nails with diamonds on their hands could be seen in the streets.

High school girls pursue adult behavior and desperately try to make themselves mature.

The result is this nondescript appearance.

But these girls in Japan don't know it yet and think it is a trend and very fashionable.

So ‘make another mistake again and again’.

In my memory, the Shibuya trend seemed to be even more popular in 2004.

But to be honest, Higashinoji doesn't understand what's so good about the heavy makeup of this ghost painting.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The school that Higashinoji is going to is called Kitajuku Private High School, and the students simply call it Kitajuku.

As a well-known private school in the surrounding area, Kitajuku High School has sufficient teachers and rich teaching equipment.

This school is famous for its arts and sports students. Music and art students have won the National High School Youth Award.

I heard that Kita Kyijuku's judo is also aiming for the national competition recently, and it is considered a famous school in Meguro District.

The original owner had good grades in school and was considered very popular with women due to his handsome face.

However, since the Higashino family suffered a serious disaster and Higashino Chihaya suffered from mental illness, the girls who initially clung to the original owner were like flies and avoided him.

After all, for these little girls who are already somewhat vain, who can bear it when their 'boyfriend' suddenly has a mentally retarded sister in their family?

But Higashinoji didn't care either.

Without these high school ‘tablets’ hanging around me, I feel at ease.

As for why a tablet? Isn't this obvious? How do you expect to be in good shape as a high school student?

Most of the girls’ figures in Japanese cartoons are deceptive. If you don’t believe it, you can find a Chinese high school and take a look inside——

Hey, aren’t these all tablets? There is no situation where Japanese girls are so much better developed than Chinese girls.

When he arrived at the classroom, the sweltering heat that hit him made Toyoji couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It's summer now, not to mention it's hot in Tokyo, and there's a bit of moisture in the air.

Coupled with the thirty people in the classroom, everyone exhaled and exhaled together, and the whole body felt stuffy and had an indescribable feeling.

The key is that the electric fans in his Class A classroom have collectively declared a strike. The three shiny electric fan blades are shaking and turning, and the squeaking sound is disturbing.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Tonoji could feel the eyes poking at him from all directions.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Chihaya Higashino was also considered a celebrity in Kitajuku before. After all, she was very beautiful.

Later, after she suffered from mental illness, many people used her as a source of conversation after dinner, and the look in Higashinoji's eyes gave her an inexplicable psychological advantage.

Higashikata apparently didn't care about these looks.

He came to his seat and was about to sit down——

"Hey, Dongye, someone asked you about something just now."

Someone from behind patted Higashinoji on the shoulder.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Gohara-san, I don't know which classmate it is?" Higashinoji asked.

The boy in front of him is named Hou Yuanzhong. He wears big glasses and is upright. He has a good relationship with the original owner. Although he is not a best friend, he can be regarded as a first-class friend.

When he first traveled through time, Higashi Yesi got a lot of information about the original owner out of him.

"It's your girlfriend, that classmate from Class B in the first year. She asked you to go to the back of the teaching building at noon."

Houyuanzhong glanced at Higashikata, hesitated for a while, and then came closer and said, "I want to tell you something, Higashino. Your girlfriend probably wants to break up with you when she comes here this time."

"Ah?" Higashinoji was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Really?"

He knew that the original owner had a girlfriend.

However, this month he has been busy getting familiar with the new environment and has no time to pay attention to this girlfriend.

So he left the other party alone for a month. If Houyuan didn't mention it, he would almost forget about it.

Higashinoji was cheerful and looked extremely happy.

Of course he wouldn't be unhappy.

Higashinoji has long passed the age where "first love equals lifelong love" and is very open-minded about emotional matters.

It's also the other person's right to want to break up.

Things like pretentious retention, crying, and heartbreak have nothing to do with him at all.

After all, there is also Higashinoji's problem here. He left the other party alone for a month for no reason. It is quite normal for the other party to want to break up.

But Hou Yuanzhong didn't know these circumstances and was baffled by his cheerful appearance.

Even if your girlfriend is breaking up with you, why are you still so cheerful and feeling gloating about your misfortune? Making it look like my girlfriend is breaking up with me?

wrong!

Hou Yuanzhong suddenly realized.

He probably gets it.

Higashino probably didn't want to see his sad side.

After all, once they break up in high school, they will never see each other again.

well! ! !

Hou Yuanzhong sighed heavily in his heart, and reached out to pat Higashinoji on the shoulder: "I understand. When Higashikata comes out after school and you have some free time, I will treat you to something to eat."

"I have something to do after school."

Higashikata waved his hand.

He was telling the truth. He wanted to bring Higashino Chihaya to the school, which would definitely require the school's approval.

Of course, this approval will not be easy. It is impossible for the principal to open this back door for Toyoshi.

However, I recently heard that there is a national high school youth painting appreciation event in Tokyo, which is quite valuable.

After all, Beiyi School is a school for arts and sports, and it attaches great importance to external honors.

If Higashinoji can directly cut off the gold reward, he might be able to have some say in negotiating Higashino Chihaya's affairs.

He will go to the principal's office at noon today. If everything goes well, he will go to the art room in the afternoon.

As a former professional painter who has held several exhibitions, Higashinoji probably has no problem winning the gold medal.

But Hou Yuanzhong understood again and felt that he had been dumped and just wanted to be alone and quiet.

He sighed "heavily" in front of Higashinoji again, patted Higashinoji on the shoulder, his face changed, he smiled and turned around to call his girlfriend and ask her if she was going to eat this afternoon.

Higashinoji ignored Goharachu's show-off action and just planned the day's action plan in his mind.

First of all, go to the back of the teaching building at noon to quickly deal with emotional issues.

Then go to the principal's office to discuss with the principal about Chihaya Higashino.

If everything goes well, I'll go to the art room in the afternoon to check on the situation.
