Tokyo life starting with painting

In the meantime, Asami actually knew that Higashinoji was following her, and she was also a little confused and puzzled.

Why does Higashikata keep following me?

And he looked very interested.

She wanted to ask Higashinoji, but before she could say anything, Higashinoji had already blocked her mouth with a smile: "I also respect President Kijo, and we cooperated with her in the last art festival. , so I also wanted to say goodbye."

He waved his hand again, looking very kind: "Student Jianzhong, don't worry about me, please don't be formal."

Yes, don't be restrained, cry as loudly as you want, feel sad as much as you want, I'll be happy when you're sad, and I'll be sad too.

This also has the flavor of youth among you young people.

Higashinoji's expression was very sincere, and Asami also said "uh" and said nothing more.

But in my impression, is the relationship between my ex-boyfriend and Aiko's senior sister so close?

She was a little confused, but she still held the fan and walked all the way to the student union room at Higashinoji's urging.

but

"Senior Aiko left not long ago?"

Looking at the student union room being tidied up by several people, Asami suddenly held the fan and was stunned.

But for some reason she relaxed a little. She really didn't want to give the fan to Kijo Aiko like this.

Because she felt that as long as she kept the fan, there would still be memories between her and Kijo Aiko.

That might be just as well.

If you can't find Aiko Kijo, it'll be fine.

Occasionally, the little girl Asami fell into a little girl's pretentious state, but soon——

"It's okay." Higashinoji said with a smile: "Senior Kijo just left. Just look for her and you'll be fine."

Well?

In the meantime, Asami's eyes widened and she opened her mouth: "No."

I don't want to find her anymore

Before she could finish her words, Higashiyama waved his hand thoughtfully: "Don't worry, even if you can't find her, she gave me her contact information during the last art festival to make it easier to contact her. I can just call her." came back."

Modern technology is so convenient - the method of looking for people everywhere in novels and comics has long been out of fashion.

"There is no such thing" Asami was completely dumbfounded: "I don't have that"

"Don't worry, I can still help with this little favor."

"Oh, okay." Asami was speechless for a while, and she just watched helplessly as Tonoji took out his cell phone and contacted Kijo Aiko.

Higashinoji's high mobility made her a little doubtful about life.

And why are you helping me like this? Oh when we broke up before.

Higashinoji on the other side actually saw that Asami Mamanaka was a little hesitant.

But he felt that pushing the opponent at this time was the best thing to do.

Some words are best said when Kijo Aiko is still around - maybe Kijo Aiko was hit by a truck as soon as she left school?

These are uncertain.

So Higashinoji felt that he still had to help Asami Mamanaka.

In just the past few minutes, Higashinoji had obtained the specific location of Kijo Aiko.

She hasn't left school yet, and it seems she just went to the kendo club to check on the situation.

Higashinoji told Asami Mamanaka the news simply.

Under Asami's hesitant and confused expression, the two of them quickly went downstairs, took out their shoes from the shoe cabinet and walked towards the playground.

Then he met Aiko Kijo who was just walking back.

Kijo Aiko is still the same as a few months ago, looking very energetic, with sharp eyes and a somewhat oppressive look.

Maybe it's because he's about to graduate, but he feels more mature than a second-year student like Asami Mamanaka.

This sense of maturity is very green and immature, but it is still different from that of a high school student like Asami Mamanaka.

She was in a daze when she saw Higashinoji and Mamanaka Asami.

Maybe she thinks that the combination of Higashino Tsukasa and Mamanaka Asami is a bit rare - after all, they are an ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend.

"Higashino-san, I just received your call." Aiko Kijo hesitated for a while and then looked at Asami Mamanaka: "Why is Asami here too?"

"I heard that Kijo-senpai is about to graduate, so I wanted to wish her a bright future and my classmate Mamanaka also had the same idea as me, so we came here."

"Really?" Aiko Kijo listened to Higashinoji's words, put her hands on her lower abdomen, and bowed in thanks: "Thank you Higashino-san for your blessing."

She still didn't understand Higashinoji's behavior of bringing Mamanaka Asami here, but he was also kind-hearted, so she still had to thank him.

Higashinoji omitted something, and then took the initiative to give the right to speak to Mamanaka Asami: "Mamanaka-san actually has something to say to Kijo-senpai."

He calmly took a step back, took out his sketchbook, and at the same time made room for Asami Mamanaka.

Come on, come on, it's your turn to perform, now is the stage for you young people.

Aiko Kijo turned to look at Asami Mamanaka.

She was still very satisfied with this student union accountant and junior, because Mami Asami organized her work very well at all times.

The other party is also equivalent to her best friend and best friend, so no matter what Asami wants to say occasionally, she will listen carefully.

After all, I'm about to graduate.

Kijo Aiko sighed in his heart.

I have to say that time is indeed the most magical thing in the world. Aiko Kijo has no real sense of it. It feels like she just entered Kita Yoijuku yesterday and suddenly graduated today.

It's afternoon now, and the hazy beauty of the setting sun seems to symbolize that something beautiful is about to disappear.

The atmosphere does look pretty good

Next to him, Higashinoji nodded calmly.

Next, Asami cried some more lyrical words, and Aiko Kijo showed bitterness again. The two hugged each other and cried, and the overall feeling of giving away gifts under the sunset came.

Higashinoji felt inspired and became even more glazed over.

Then——

"Senior Kijo, please accept this!"

"Uh-oh"

The fan directly poked Kijo Aiko's face, and it felt like it almost stabbed Kijo Aiko to death. Even Kijo Aiko, the person involved, couldn't help being stunned.

She put the fan away and waited for a long time without waiting for Asami to speak. Then she couldn't help but opened her mouth: "Asami?"

"I, I" Mami opened her mouth to say "I" for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a reason.

This stammering look made Touyoshi want to say a few words for her, and the good atmosphere just now disappeared all of a sudden.

Asami, this is simply an atmosphere killer.

Aiko Kijo was trying to tell Asami Mamanaka not to be anxious. When he spoke slowly, Asami Mamanaka on the other side had already lowered her head, her beautiful face twisted into a ball in grievance, and tears fell in large drops: "I I don’t want to see Senior Mujo leave.”

There is no lyricism and nothing to enhance the atmosphere.

In the meantime, Asami sobbed and spoke out her inner thoughts.

Her expression was ugly, her originally pretty face was wrinkled together, her brows were furrowed, her eye circles were red, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out.

This may be the pure emotion between students that can no longer be seen after entering society.

It has nothing to do with money or connections, it's just pure friendship.

This is equivalent to you and your good friends from school days, no matter how long it takes, no matter the status difference, you can happily call each other by nicknames.

Kijo Aiko was silent.

"I actually don't want to say that." Asami said with red eyes and twitching nose: "I originally wanted to wish Aiko-senpai everything goes well after she goes to college, but I just can't help it. .”

As long as Aiko Kijo's grades are stable, she will be able to find a good university. This is a good thing and deserves blessings.

In the meantime, Asami felt that she was crying and crying, and she should be happier.

But she couldn't be happy at all, tears were rolling in her stomach.

Next to him, Higashinoji had been observing Kijo Aiko's expression.

He found that there seemed to be something wrong with Aiko Kijo's reaction.

She didn't have the kind of relieved expression to comfort her juniors, but rather a sad and bitter expression.

What's happening here?

Higashinoji wanted to see the regrets of his youth, so he tried his luck between the two of them, but he never wanted to see anything unfortunate happen to others.

"Okay, I understand." Kijo Aiko lowered her body and gently pushed Mamanaka Asami, trying to get her to stand up.

But suddenly Asami couldn't push her up no matter how hard she pushed, and kept crying while hugging Aiko Kijo's thigh.

Kijo Aiko had no choice but to touch her head with a smile and spend this quiet time with her.

Higashinoji on the other side naturally didn't say anything about leaving. He frowned and looked at Asami Mamanaka, and then at Aiko Kijo.

After about five minutes, Asami's mood finally stabilized.

"Yes, I'm sorry! Aiko-senpai." Asami Mamanaka, who was out of the excitement period, couldn't help but bow repeatedly, but at the same time she was embarrassed to say: "Aiko-senpai, once again I wish you a better and better college life!"

"Yes." Aiko Kijo smiled and nodded: "You are the same, Asami, the student union should cheer up."

The two of them chatted for a while, and then they finally sorted everything out.

Most of the topics revolve around Aiko Kijo's post-college life.

The two of them were thinking about the future there, very much like little girls.

Higashinoji did get some creative inspiration from the side, but he still frowned and raised his eyebrows at Kijo Aiko from time to time.

Asami quickly left, and just when Higashinoji was also about to say goodbye, Aiko Kijo stopped Higashinoji.

"Please wait a moment, Higashino-san."

In her hand, Aiko Kijo held the paper fan on which Higashinoji wrote "Unyielding" and bowed to him again: "Thank you and Asami for the gift."

"It's just a casual help." Tonoji waved his hand and said, "Senior Kijo, is there anything else you need to do?"

"There are indeed some other things." Aiko Kijo nodded with a smile. She stood next to Higashinoji, looked back at the red sunset that was about to set, and said seriously: "I don't actually go to college. I plan to do it after graduation." Find a job."

Higashino glanced sideways at her, then calmly turned back to look at the dancing sunset fire: "Really?"

"You should have noticed it just now, Higashino-kun. Your powers of observation are really amazing." Aiko Kijo sighed. She had long felt that Higashino Tsukasa was not a simple person. She had felt it during the previous art festival.

Is it possible that experiencing misfortune in the family can really make people mature to this point? It feels like Higashinoji doesn't feel like he has been reborn, but a completely different person.

"I can't really tell, I just think something's wrong with your expression, Kijo-senpai." Tonoji paused and said, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"It's not too difficult. My family's conditions are average. I have a younger sister and a younger brother who are going to high school. I can't be so selfish."

Kijo Aiko sighed deeply: "I didn't want Asami to worry, so I told her that."

In fact, she was the one who felt the most uncomfortable. She obviously couldn't go to college, but she still had to talk to Asami Mamanaka about this. This is equivalent to stabbing a knife in her own heart.

"Sorry." Higashino expressed regret for learning this fact.

For Higashinoji, it's just that he can't go to college, which is nothing at all - the worst he can do is make money by painting, and it's easy.

But for Aiko Kijo, the meaning is completely different.

As far as Higashinoji knew, Aiko Kijo had been studying hard in her first year of high school, and her academic performance had always been among the best. She was undoubtedly aiming to go to university.

But now, the goals are shattered, the dreams are gone, and everything feels like an indescribable sense of disillusionment.

"It's okay, Higashino-kun, I don't care about this." Aiko Kijo waved her hand with a smile.

Higashikata was silent for a while, without saying any words of comfort.

He also lamented that compared to the regrets he had thought about before, this was the real regret for Aiko Kijo.

After three years of hard work, I gained the ability, but could not get the corresponding results.

If youth must have regrets, then Aiko Kijo's regrets are too great.

As if aware of what Higashinoji was thinking, Aiko Kijo's shoulders were shaking a little, her tears couldn't be stopped, and she felt a little unable to stand firm.

"I really want to go to college."

She couldn't help but mutter to herself.

This is true

Three whole years of hard work and hard study were all in vain.

The disillusionment and frustration involved are not something that the parties concerned cannot understand at all.

The setting sun had not yet set, but the sky was already dark red, and the sight of Aiko Kijo wiping her tears was deeply reflected in Higashinoji's eyes.

It's a shame for both parties.

One side is a pity for nature.

On the one hand is the unwillingness and regret that the youth drama is about to come to an end.

The tears seemed to be obscured by the setting sun

Before leaving, Kijo Aiko made a special trip to say to Higashinoji: "Higashino-kun, please don't tell Asami about this. I don't want her to be sad and sad with me."

Higashinoji naturally nodded and said he would never tell anyone.

But to be honest, this feeling of being neither up nor down makes Tonoji very uncomfortable.

express regret for the passing of something good

Although it was indeed a pity and she had a lot of inspiration, Aiko Kijo didn’t even have the occasional comfort from Asami.

Isn't this a pity? It made me feel a little regretful.

So Tonoji immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Hello? Is this Mr. Mamanaka?"
