Tokyo life starting with painting

The pain of Japanese examinees will become nourishment for Higashinoji——

Although it's a bit unpleasant to say this, it is indeed the case.

If we could understand their disappointment at losing their reputation and have regretful thoughts about their youth, wouldn’t we be able to grasp the theme?

After all, the main body of the Art Creation Awards is young people.

Currently, the biggest crossroads in life for young people is the general entrance examination for university.

Many people will fall on this road.

As for Higashinoji?

Higashinoji didn't need to worry, he had basically secured his recommendation for admission to the exam, and there was a connection between Kitajuku and Musashino Art University.

Japan's current recommendation admission system is mainly based on the recommendation of the candidate's high school principal. This means that Higashinoji will probably be admitted directly to Musashino Art University without taking the cultural exam.

The relationship between Higashinoji and Ryuichi Yoshimine goes without saying.

In addition, Higashinoji's performance in art has always been unquestionable, so entering Musashino Art University is basically a certainty, and there is no chance of running away.

Unless Higashinoji himself doesn't want to go to university for further studies.

The slightly more difficult thing is that although Konoe Ryoka is good at cultural courses, her art skills are obviously not up to par.

But that's okay, there are still two years left, and Higashinoji has enough time to teach her about art.

As for Takahashi Yumi, although she is not very bright, she really has nothing to say about sports and kendo. If she is recommended by the principal, getting admitted to the university will not be a big problem.

The principal recommended that Higashinoji over there could find a solution. After all, just help if you can. Takahashi Yumi had been playing with Higashino Chihaya when Higashinoji was not at home. Higashino Chihaya was also very happy and recognized her as her god sister.

Needless to say, Fujiwara Aoi, her grades have always been stable and there is no need for Higashino to worry about.

Thinking of this, Higashino simply put down the pencil in his hand and asked, "When is the central exam approximately?"

His question left Fujiwara Aoi next to him speechless.

Are you not a Japanese test taker? Why don't you care about this kind of thing?

"I think it will be this week, soon." Fujiwara Aoi replied thoughtfully.

Japan's 'central examination' is always held in mid-January, and the subsequent 'on-campus secondary examination' is held from mid-February to the end of March. One candidate has the right to apply for three national universities at the same time.

"Really?" Higashinoji was going to go home and check the specific time online, and then find a time to check on the situation.

I wonder if I can get some inspiration for painting from it?

Tonoji asked some more detailed questions from Fujiwara Aoi, and talked to Konoe Ryoka for a while, then packed up his sketchbook and pencils and returned to his class.

Konoe Ryoka looked at Higashinoji turning away and moved her mouth. In fact, she still wanted to stop Higashinoji and stay with him for a while.

But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again.

The change in Konoe Ryoka's expression was noticed by Fujiwara Aoi next to her. She couldn't help but stand up and wanted to call Higashinoji, but Konoe Ryoka reached out and held her back.

"Lianghua, why don't you call Higashino-san?"

It’s really hard to understand the thoughts of girls in love, at least Fujiwara Aoi couldn’t understand Konoe Ryoka’s thoughts at all.

"Aji is thinking about something." Konoe Ryoka shook her head and said very understandingly: "When a man is thinking, I don't think I should disturb him."

She doesn't want Higashikata to think she's annoying

but

Konoe Ryoka sighed softly and held her cute face with her hands with a sad look on her face.

I really want to talk to Asi more.

Higashinoji returned to class thinking about the matter, but before he returned to his seat, he heard someone calling him.

"Higashino-san, please wait a moment, I have something I want to discuss with you."

The voice was quite familiar, but Higashikata didn't have much of an impression.

After all, the only people he has a slightly better relationship with in this school are Konoe Ryoka, the three of them, and Okano Ryoko.

Higashinoji turned around and looked over, and then he suddenly realized - isn't this Asami Kanaka?

She was the girlfriend found by the original owner. Although she has nothing to do with Higashikata now, Higashino still respects her to a certain extent.

Because Asami Asami didn't desperately try to get back in touch with Higashinoji after he became famous, she set a clear boundary between herself and Higashinoji and never disturbed Higashinoji's life.

This made Touyesi naturally respect her integrity.

It seems that the original owner has a good eye for people, at least there is no entangled and bloody plot.

"Hello, Mamanaka-san." Higashinoji smiled and nodded to Mamanaka Asami, and then asked her a little strangely: "What's the matter?"

He still has the Art Creation Award to be busy with. Although the other party said that he wanted to discuss something with him, if it was too time-consuming, then Tonoji could only say that he could not help.

On the other hand, Asami was actually a little hesitant - she didn't know whether she should ask Higashinoji for help.

She was actually under a lot of pressure last semester.

She dated Higashikata before, and then she took the initiative to break up. Someone found out about it and spread it everywhere. This incident made many people make fun of her and say something like "Manazaka-san and Higashino-san" It's such a pity that good boyfriends have given up on their own initiative. ’

When they said these words, they were probably half joking and half serious, and Asami could clearly hear the sour taste like eating lemons from them.

That's how it is with people.

If you don't get it and see others get it, you will naturally feel sour and a little jealous.

Faced with these words, Asami basically ignored them.

But even if she ignored it, these words hit her home somewhat.

She did have regrets about breaking up with Higashinoji, especially when Higashinoji gradually achieved results that exceeded those of high school students, of course she also had some regrets - this is human nature.

Who would have thought that the things he threw away turned out to be treasures?

Asami didn't know, so she regretted it, which was normal.

But regrets were regrets, and she was not so shameless and continued to dance in front of Touyesi, hoping that he would accept her.

After all, people need to love themselves to win respect, and licking a dog will not end well.

But there was indeed an urgent matter today that needed Higashinoji's help, and she hesitated for a long time before taking the initiative to approach Higashinoji - this was also the first time she took the initiative to talk to Higashinoji after the last calligraphy and art festival.

"There is indeed something that needs Higashino-san's help." Asami took a deep breath and finally expressed her thoughts: "I hope Higashino-san can write something for me in calligraphy."

After saying this, she looked at Higashikata uneasily.

Will Toyoshi agree? Maybe the other person is still complaining about the fact that she took the initiative to break up with him? He's a celebrity now, so it's really not good to bother him like this.

Alas, if you want to refuse, please don't refuse too sarcastically.

In the meantime, Asami became more and more pessimistic as she thought about it, and her expression became worse and worse.

Seeing the increasingly gloomy expression on the other party's face, Higashinoji was also baffled. No, aren't you asking me for help? Why do you look like your parents are dead before I even open my mouth? Just write some calligraphy. Is this a big deal?

Feeling Asami's increasingly solemn mood, Higashinoji nodded without hesitation: "Yes, yes, what should I write to you?" As long as it's not a love letter, it's easy to negotiate.

"Hey? Higashino-san, have you agreed?" Asami Mazaka was still thinking about what to do, but when she heard Higashino nodded in agreement, she showed an incredulous expression.

Do you want me to agree or not?

Higashino secretly cursed, but on the surface he still responded with a smile: "Well, we are classmates, it's just a small favor to write calligraphy."

"Really?" Asami finally felt at ease. She rubbed her thighs, thought for a moment, and told Higashikata her request and reasons.

It turns out that the student council president Kijo Aiko who often takes care of her is about to graduate. As a second-year student, she wants to give something to Kijo Aiko who is about to graduate.

But Aiko Kijo has always been a serious and traditional girl. She is not very interested in some of the current cosmetics and jewelry. Instead, she likes some calligraphy works and novels.

When she said this, Toyoshi thought of this girl.

Back then, Higashinoji helped Aiko Kijo write the vertical banner for the art festival. Aiko Kijo was indeed very capable as the student council president. She dragged the entire student council by herself and managed to make the art festival a great success. Even Yoshimine Ryuichi They all seemed to praise her often.

And the other party's grades seem to be very good. Although he is not always the first in the grade like in many novels, there is still no big problem in being in the top ten.

It's definitely not difficult to find a university with such grades.

So on the occasion of graduation, Asami wanted to give her a parting gift and wish her a happy life in college.

Asami wiped tears several times when talking about Aiko Kijo.

Higashinoji could tell that the relationship between the other party and Kijo Aiko should be very good, at least at the level of close friends.

That's why she could pull this face off and ask for help.

When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom at the end of March or early April, Aiko Kijo will officially leave Kitajuku and go to university. No, not only Aiko Kijo, but the entire senior Kokuijuku students will be thinking about their futures.

To be honest, this kind of separation because of exams does have an indescribable sense of youthful separation.

It's not just Japanese students, it's the same even in China.

When high school officially graduates and the teacher announces that you can leave school, countless students tear open their books and throw them into the air, and the moment it rains test papers in the sky——

This may be regarded as a kind of regret of youth.

You come when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and you leave when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

"Okay, I understand." Higashinoji felt a hint of creative inspiration, and he immediately nodded: "I wonder what Mr. Jianzhong wants me to write?"

Regarding this, Asami Kadaka had obviously been prepared for a long time.

She asked Higashino to wait a moment, then walked to her seat and took out a fan: "Please Higashino help me write the words 'Unyielding'."

"Unyielding" is actually not strictly Japanese, but more inclined to Chinese Sinology.

Although Japan's political culture shifted toward the West after the Meiji Restoration, in terms of traditional Japanese cultivation, Sinology is still considered an important indicator of a person's cultivation. In fact, there are still many upper-class elite Japanese who always include one or two ancient Chinese sentences in their conversations to show that they are also educated people.

It is said that some Japanese civil servants made a special trip to study the Four Books and Five Classics of China.

It seems that Aiko Kijo is actually quite interested in Sinology.

Higashinoji accepted the paper fan without hesitation and said he would go to the Calligraphy Department in the afternoon.

He didn't have pens, inks, paper and inkstones, so he would definitely have to ask the calligraphy department to borrow them.

Mamanaka Asami said that she would also go with Higashinoji.

Her attitude was very firm, but she was also very sad. She wanted to see the gift prepared for Kijo Aiko being born, but she was actually unwilling to give the gift away.

After sending this away, I really have to say goodbye to Kijo Aiko.

As mentioned before, in addition to winter vacation, Japan also has spring vacation.

This is a very complicated mood.

But Tonoji ignored this complicated mood.

They have to be given away anyway, so it would be better to give them away earlier - you have to let him see the regrets of youth, otherwise how will he paint his oil paintings? Of course it has to be sent out quickly!

So after class in the afternoon, he simply went to the calligraphy club, and Asami followed him.

Higashino found the calligraphy director. The other party was obviously impressed by Higashino, a master of calligraphy, so he generously lent him a pen and ink.

This is the benefit of interpersonal relationships. If Toyesi has a good relationship with the other party, when he needs help from the other party, the other party will also lend a hand to help Toyesi.

After Higashinoji practiced repeatedly for ten minutes and reached a satisfactory standard, he left two straight big characters "hundred folds" on the fan with one stroke of his pen, and then waited for the ink of these two characters to dry slightly. Later, the word "unyielding" was added.

He thought about it and even took out his seal to stamp it.

After all, Higashinoji had a pretty good impression of Aiko Kijo, the student council president.

"That's enough, Mamanaka-san, go and give it to Kijo-senpai." Higashinoji picked up the fan with the written words and handed it to Mamanaka Asami and urged.

"Uh" Asami was confused by Higashinoji's urging, and even looked at Higashinoji with some confusion.

what's up?

Although Higashino-kun was very helpful, why did she always feel like Higashino-san was urging her?

Is it an illusion? It wouldn't do Higashinoji any good if he and Kijo-senpai were separated.

In the meantime, Asami scratched her hair and showed an expression that she didn't understand.

But under Higashinoji's urging, intentionally or unintentionally, Asami Mamanaka, who was originally hesitant, finally gathered her courage and walked towards the student council room.

Higashinoji held his sketchbook and followed behind Asami Mamanaka.

He will order this material today! You must experience the feeling of youthful regret.
