Tokyo life starting with painting

The next day.

Because today is Saturday, Higashinoji rarely does the cleaning, and Higashino Chihaya is also helping a lot.

This cleaning time does not take much, only an hour.

An hour later, Higashinoji was just starting to draw the manuscript, and then——

"Aji. Why don't you go out with friends on Saturdays and Sundays?" Chihaya Higashino looked at Higashinoji worriedly: "Does Aji have no friends? How pitiful."

"" Toyesi was confused by her sudden question, but he quickly explained in a dumbfounded way: "I still have a lot of friends at school."

I have been confessed by countless little girls in school. If this is still pitiful, then aren't those high school boys who don't even have youthful confessions even more pitiable?

"Then why have I never seen friends of the same age as you, A Si, come to our house to play?"

Higashino Chihaya looked at Higashinoji suspiciously.

She had only seen Higashinoji bring Hosokawa Koharu to his door, and Hosokawa Koharu was Higashinoji's immediate boss and was not considered a good friend of his age.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Higashino frowned even more tightly.

She has the type of face that belongs to a melancholy beauty. When her eyebrows are wrinkled, her beautiful face makes people feel even more distressed.

After all, she is Higashinoji's younger brother, and Higashinoji is always clumsy and can't play games well. He often throws her into monsters.

Therefore, we must keep an eye on him to prevent him from being bullied in school.

"Is there no one to accompany Aji? He's so pitiful. Come on, let me touch him." Chihaya Higashino stretched out her little hand and touched Higashinoji's head.

Chihaya Higashino really cared about her, so Higashinoji just smiled and let her go.

But what she said is actually right.

Tonoji didn't have many close friends in school. Goharazaka, who had been led by his girlfriend, was barely half of them, and the rest were all girls.

Konoe Ryoka, Fujiwara Aoi, Takahashi Yumi and others who have helped me in the past can be considered friends.

Just as Higashinoji was thinking about how to explain, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Higashinoji immediately used the topic and escaped from Higashino Chihaya's clutches: "It's a friend calling me. I'll answer the phone."

He stood up, walked near the entrance, and then glanced at the name above.

"Takahashi?" Higashinoji originally imagined various people calling, but what he never expected was that the caller turned out to be Yumi Takahashi.

He had exchanged phone numbers with Takahashi Yumi before, but the other party never called. This could be considered the first time.

I don’t know what the other party is calling me about.

Higashinoji answered the phone.

"Ah, it got through. You see, I told Mr. Higashino that he would answer my call." Yumi Takahashi on the other side of the phone was very excited and didn't know who she was talking to, but soon Higashino heard Aoi Fujiwara He scolded: "It's very impolite to leave Higashikata-san aside when we talk about important matters! Be careful and reserved in your speech, don't be too direct."

Takahashi Yumi quickly said "Oh", as if she understood. Then, she turned to Higashino on the other side of the phone and said, "Teacher Higashino, can I come to your house to play?"

Well

Higashinoji was startled by her words that were too 'elaborate, euphemistic, and not too direct'.

Even Fujiwara Aoi next to Takahashi Yumi seemed to be very angry with this guy. There was a scratching sound of phone exchange, followed by Fujiwara Aoi's voice: "I'm sorry, Higashino-san, that idiot just now."

"It's okay, it's okay." Higashinoji said kindly: "Takahashi-san is still as energetic as ever. That's good. Do you want to come to my house?"

This is a coincidence.

Higashinoji was thinking about how to deal with Higashino Chihaya.

Don't look at Higashino Chihaya's appearance. Once she gets into trouble, she won't be able to get out.

"Uh." Listening to Higashinoji's question, Fujiwara Aoi glared at Yumi Takahashi.

It’s all this guy’s fault, he’s not reserved at all when he speaks!

But since Higashinoji asked, she didn't hide it, and simply explained: "Well, maybe it's a bit presumptuous. Can we come over? Lianghua is also here. Come on, Lianghua, you also have to say something."

The sound of the phone being transferred came again, followed by the trembling voice of Konoe Ryoka: "Hello, Higashino-kun. Can we come over as guests?"

Just saying this sentence was already stumbling, and my voice was a little out of breath.

This made Higashinoji a little funny, but he didn't think too much about it and quickly replied to her: "No problem, Konoe-san, Takahashi-san and Fujiwara-san, you can all come to my place as guests. After all, it's a rare occasion It’s Saturday.”

"Isn't it inconvenient?"

"No." Higashino said, sneaking a glance at the living room door.

At this time, Higashino Chihaya was bending over, with her palms hanging on the door frame, only the upper half of her face exposed, and her eyes furtively looking towards him.

She looked like she was trying to decide whether Higashinoji was lying to her, but in fact, he didn't have any friends at all.

So Higashinoji immediately added: "Can you move faster? I will go out to buy some ingredients later."

"Huh? Ah, okay."

Konoe Ryoka listened to these urging words, regardless of whether Tonoji could see it or not, and nodded repeatedly.

Then she said a few words to Higashikata in a cautious manner before cutting off the call.

"Is it solved?" Takahashi Yumi asked curiously from behind.

"Yes, Higashino-kun said I could go there and he told me the address. It's over in Adachi Ward, I guess."

Konoe Ryoka nodded.

"Then there's no need to think about it, let's set off now! For Lianghua's happiness!"

Takahashi Yumi shouted slogans that made Konoe Ryoka unable to lift her head at all, and ran into the station without hesitation.

This guy is not afraid of falling down easily while wearing a midi skirt.

"Forget it, let's go too." Fujiwara Aoi shook her head speechlessly, taking Konoe Ryoka and following Takahashi Yumi into the station.

It didn't take them long to find the apartment where Higashinoji lived.

but

"Is that Mr. Higashino?" Looking at Higashinoji standing under the apartment, surrounded by a group of children, Takahashi Yumi couldn't help but turned her head and asked Konoe Ryoka next to her.

"That's right?" Konoe Ryoka was also a little confused.

Do the Higashino family have so many brothers and sisters? It looks like there are more than ten people, right?

And seeing that they were having so much fun, Fujiwara Aoi and the others didn't know how to come up and say hello.

Fortunately, Higashinoji also saw them at this time, so he handed the plastic marshmallows in his hands to these children, and walked over with a smile: "Konoe-san, Takahashi-san, Fujiwara-san, why are you standing here? Please come quickly." come over."

Well

Konoe Ryoka and the other three subconsciously looked at the child following him.

"These are the children who come often to play with neighbors and businesses." Higashinoji explained more or less: "Uncle Hirata from the butcher shop, Uncle Ino from the convenience store, and the most famous Shimojo Town Flowers from the Past here. The thousand generations of mother-in-law and granddaughter.”

His familiar look made Takahashi Yumi on the other side stunned. "Does Teacher Higashino remember these people?"

"Well, after all, we usually rely on them to take care of us." Higashinoji waved his hands indifferently, and then greeted them: "Stop talking about this, please come in quickly."

He turned around and led them into the apartment.

"Teacher Higashino's communication skills are too strong, right?" Looking at Takahashi Yumi behind him who was leading the way, Takahashi Yumi was dumbfounded: "It's absolutely impossible for me to say hello to my uncle and aunt."

""Fujiwara Aoi.

Fujiwara Aoi didn't speak, but she actually secretly agreed with Takahashi Yumi's words.

But maybe this is Higashinoji's advantage.

Fujiwara Aoi sighed when she thought that she was hostile to him before, but now she was not at all, and even respected him a little.

Higashinoji's social skills are indeed very good.

They followed Higashinoji all the way upstairs until the door opened——

"Asi! You're back! Just now you said you went to pick up a friend, what about me?"

Seeing that it was Higashinoji who was coming back, Chihaya Higashino immediately jumped to the door twice or three times, and then

Her eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face: "Asi, besides Xiaochun, have you found so many girlfriends?"

one two three

Chihaya Higashino counted it in his mind, and he felt like he was 'shocked by Chihaya for a hundred years'.

Three girls!

And they all look pretty cute.

The little girl in the lead with a single ponytail is very energetic and her smile is particularly contagious.

The second one wears glasses, and although he is a bit shorter, he is still a petite and cute type.

The third one is a bit scary.

Higashino Chihaya squeezed her breasts subconsciously, and then looked at the other party's innocent, delicate and charming face, unable to speak clearly: "Aji, you"

Has your younger brother turned into a scumbag?

You hooked so many girls back at every turn?

When Konoe Ryoka in the back heard what Chihaya Higashino said, "Except for Koharu," she was also extremely nervous.

Does Higashino-san already have a girlfriend?

Do you still have hope?

Regarding this reality, Konoe Ryoka found herself somewhat unable to accept it.

Fortunately, Higashinoji seemed to have noticed Konoe Ryoka's mood at this time, and turned around to explain: "Koharu refers to my manga editor, Hosokawa Koharu. Don't think about it."

"Yes, really?" Konoe Ryoka breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she felt like she was in cardiac arrest when she learned that Higashinoji had his girlfriend's book.

"Never mind that for now!" Chihaya Higashino raised her lips angrily: "Aji, why did you bring three girls back? Didn't your sister tell you to be single-minded? Isn't this how you usually lie to little girls? "

OK, I thought you had no friends.

I didn't expect you to bring back three girlfriends.

But to be honest, it looks pretty good.

"I never lie to girls, Sister Chihaya." Higashinoji touched Chihaya's head as a comfort, and then explained: "This is the friend who called me just now and wanted to come to our home."

"Really?" Chihaya Higashino didn't believe it.

Then she turned her head and pointed at Konoe Ryoka: "What about her? This child looks so cute and beautiful, Aji must not be interested, right?"

In response to her question, Higashinoji responded appropriately: "Konoe-san is indeed very beautiful, and all boys of the same age will like her."

After hearing what Higashinoji said, Takahashi Yumi on the other side also raised her head: "What about me? Mr. Higashino, I'm pretty too, right?"

"They are all beautiful, all of them are rare beauties." Higashinoji teased, making Takahashi Yumi giggle.

Finally, after dealing with Konoe Ryoka and Takahashi Yumi, Tonoji turned around and called Fujiwara Aoi and the others into the house.

"Higashino-san, this small gift is not respectful, please accept it." Because she was caught off guard by Higashino Chihaya before, Fujiwara Aoi's head is still dizzy now.

However, when she heard Higashino beckoning her in, she still reacted and gave him a souvenir.

This is considered a must-do etiquette. After all, they are here as guests and cannot come empty-handed.

"Thank you for your trouble." Touyesi did not refuse and accepted it calmly.

This is a pretty ordinary snack souvenir. It will be opened later and used to receive them.

Entering the living room, Higashinoji introduced to Fujiwara Aoi and the others: "This is my sister next to me, Chihaya Higashino."

"Hello, sister." Yumi Takahashi was thick-skinned and naturally called Chihaya Higashino.

Konoe Ryoka was rather thin-skinned and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, 'Hello, Chihaya-san. ’

They were all very sensible girls, and they all could see that Chihaya Higashino had some mental problems, so they all seemed very obedient.

"Everyone, just treat this place as your own home. I'll prepare tea for you." After saying this, Tonoji turned around and entered the kitchen and began to prepare snacks and tea for them.

And at the moment when Higashinoji turned around and entered the kitchen, Higashino Chihaya turned her head as if premeditated, looked at Takahashi Yumi and the other three seriously, and asked softly: "Are you all Aji's girlfriends?"

This time Ma Qian's question made the three of them stunned, but Fujiwara Aoi was the first to react: "Higashino-san and I are just friends."

Originally, the reason for coming here this time was about Konoe Ryoka and Higashino Tsukasa. How could she admit such a thing?

Hearing Fujiwara Aoi's denial, Higashino Chihaya's eyes shifted to Takahashi Yumi, who looked like an old concubine in ancient China.

Of course, Takahashi Yumi denied it with a smile: "Me neither, I am a fan of Mr. Higashino! The person next to me is Mr. Higashino's girlfriend."

She didn't hesitate to push out Konoe Ryoka, who had a puzzled look on her face.

"I, I" felt Higashino Chihaya's eyes flashing like a light bulb, and Konoe Ryoka opened her mouth wide.

This is going a bit fast.
