Tokyo life starting with painting

Higashinoji didn't mean to commit suicide - the misunderstanding was resolved and it was a happy ending for everyone.

but

Higashinoji noticed something strange about Higashino Chihaya.

She kept staring at the musical score, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit.

This made Higashinoji a little surprised. At the same time, he couldn't help but pull Higashino Chihaya's hand forward: "Sister Chihaya?"

"Aji" Higashino Chihaya raised her head and called Higashinoji.

But this time it was not as silly as usual, but rather a voice with a particularly complicated mood.

This is the first time in a year that Higashinoji has heard Higashino Chihaya's voice containing such complex emotions.

Higashinoji's usually calm mood rarely fluctuated.

He takes Higashino Chihaya to the hospital for routine check-ups every month, and he also knows that Higashino Chihaya's condition is indeed improving.

But it was indeed the first time that Tonoji expressed such a clear change of mood like today.

Even Konoe Ryoka and Takahashi Yumi were shocked.

Higashino Chihaya always has that cheerful and innocent feeling with a hint of childishness. What happened to that mature feeling just now?

They don't understand.

But then they saw Higashino Chihaya's body falling backward - luckily Higashino had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch the opponent, otherwise the back of Higashino Chihaya's head might have come into close contact with the ground.

"Teacher Higashino, what's wrong with Chihaya-san?" Yumi Takahashi opened her mouth, finally came to her senses, and approached Higashino and asked him.

"Looks like she's in a coma." Seeing Chihaya Higashino with her eyes closed and her eyebrows furrowed, Higashino shook his head and took out his cell phone without hesitation to call the hospital.

No matter what, it is better to go to the hospital first for this kind of emergency.

It was not a long journey from Higashino's house to the hospital. Higashinoji quickly sent Higashino Chihaya for examination. At the same time, he met with Higashino Chihaya's attending physician, Asuka Koizumi, and answered a few questions for her.

Finally, based on Koizumi Asuka’s thinking and summary, I feel that it was the simplified score of “Lemon” written by Higashino Tsukasa that had a certain impact on Higashino Chihaya’s self-perception.

The examination results have also come out. There is no problem with Chihaya Higashino's body. Wait until she wakes up and then check her mental state. If there is no problem, you can take some mental stabilizing drugs and continue to take her back to rest.

Tonoji also agreed with this.

However, Higashinoji did not expect that the simple music score would have an impact on Chihaya Higashino's spirit.

Although he had found Higashino Chihaya's recorder and written music score in the small storage room at home, he had never thought about Higashino Chihaya's mental state.

Koizumi Asuka also explained this.

For patients with self-cognitive disorders like Chihaya Higashino, trivial and subtle things may bring back memories of Higashino Chihaya's past - after all, no one can be sure about mental psychology.

Higashino sighed, feeling that it was indeed what Koizumi Asuka said.

"Lemon" is a song that expresses sadness and emotions of life and death. Its lyrics and melody may have also touched Chihaya Higashino. In addition, the simple score of the song that she had not seen for a long time made her feel like she was struck by lightning, and she seemed to remember something.

But regardless of whether it offends Higashinoji, he just wants to know if anything will go wrong with Higashino Chihaya.

Don't make the mental damage worse

He just waited in Koizumi Asuka's office. Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi waited until almost eight o'clock before being driven back by Higashinoji. Although they wanted to continue guarding Higashino Chihaya, Higashinoji did not allow it.

After all, they are both girls. Not only do their families worry about going home too late, but more importantly, it is particularly unsafe to go home at night. Some idiots in Japan are happy to prey on pink high school girls like them.

Just letting them go back, Higashinoji and Konoe Ryoka continued to wait.

Konoe Ryoka, a little girl, couldn't catch Higashinoji back no matter how hard he chased her. She was as stubborn as a donkey. She said she just wanted to wait for Higashino Chihaya to wake up and then go home with Higashinoji and the others.

This does make some sense.

Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi walked together, so Tonoji couldn't let Konoe Ryoka go back alone, right?

This is too unsafe.

So the two of them kept waiting.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Chihaya Higashino finally woke up from his coma.

Fortunately, subsequent inspections revealed no problems.

Chihaya Higashino is in good health, but at the same time she is still the same as before and does not seem to be recovering.

This reassured Tonoji but also made him feel a little disappointed.

Although Higashino Chihaya would never let her go no matter what happened to Higashino Chihaya, Higashinoji also felt that it would be better for her to wake up as soon as possible compared to Higashino Chihaya being foolish.

After all, human youth is very precious.

Unlike Higashinoji, Chihaya Higashino is a time traveler from the Celestial Dynasty. At this age, she naturally still has to focus on studying and going to university.

Higashinoji can't really raise Higashino Chihaya to be a salty egg, right?

However, before leaving, the attending physician Asuka Koizumi also told Higashikata the results of the examination, and said: "Ms. Higashino's condition has improved significantly. The stimulation caused by this simplified music score may be that she has regained her self-awareness. This is actually a good sign, Mr. Higashino."

Recover the beginning of self-awareness

Higashinoji gently touched the head of Chihaya Higashino who looked confused next to him.

Higashino Chihaya was indeed confused.

She remembered that she was playing Pac-Man before, and then she fell asleep, and then she seemed to have a dream. In the dream, there was another self living with Asi, which made her feel a little strange and looked a little scary. Si didn't feel like A Si before, which made her even more confused.

She didn't know why she had such a dream, but when she woke up, she found herself on the hospital bed, and she was quite panicked for a while.

But now I have a firm hold on Asi

That should be no problem!

But why is Asi's expression so complicated? Seeing Higashinoji frowning and thinking, Higashino Chihaya couldn't help but stretched out her hand and touched the center of his eyebrows, half raising her head: "Aji, are you hungry?"

She spoke in a naive voice, but her expression was serious.

After saying this, she touched her pocket again and took out a pack of bear biscuits wrapped in plastic: "Asi Aasi, this is for you to eat. Don't be angry, okay?"

The way she held the biscuits looked very heartbreaking.

Higashinoji didn't go to pick up Higashino Chihaya's biscuits, but just smiled and asked: "Isn't this your favorite biscuit, Chihaya-san?"

This kind of bear biscuit is Higashino Chihaya's favorite snack, and Higashino bought a lot of them at home.

"Because it's my favorite, I gave it to Asi. There's also Lianghua. I'll open it for you later."

Chihaya Higashino held in her strength for a while and finally tore open the plastic packaging. Then she spread the plastic opening and looked at Higashino Tsukasa and Konoe Ryoka with a smile, waiting for them to take out cookies.

Tonoji stretched out his hand, took out a biscuit and put it into his mouth.

"Is it delicious? Assi?"

"Yeah, it's not delicious. Let's leave it to Sister Chihaya." Higashino just chewed it twice, laughed twice, and touched Chihaya's head: "It's too bitter."

"Bitter?" Chihaya Higashino couldn't understand Higashinoji's taste buds. She took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. The creamy smell in her mouth made her squint her eyes with happiness: "Aji, you're so weird, it's so sweet."

Tonoji just smiled with his eyes narrowed, looking like a fox when he smiled.

Next to her, Konoe Ryoka's eyes were red. She didn't say anything. She imitated Higashinoji's actions and pinched a piece of biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth.

She didn't say anything about her feelings.

Just how to say it.

Konoe Ryoka really felt that this cookie was as bitter as Higashinoji said.

The sweetness of the creamy cream is inexplicably bitter when it enters your mouth.

Does bitter sweetness really exist?

When Chihaya Higashino asked her if she still wanted to eat Konoe Ryoka, she also followed Higashinoji's example and just smiled with squinted eyes and shook her head.

Because I feel like if I don’t squint my eyes

Tears seemed to be drawn out by the bitter milky smell.

Chihaya Higashino showed signs of recovery.

Although it is just a sign, it is also a good thing.

According to Higashinoji's character, he should have been celebrating.

But for some reason, Higashinoji had no intention of celebrating.

Even if we want to celebrate, we have to wait until Higashino Chihaya truly recovers, and then we can hold a real celebration.

Putting aside Chihaya Higashino's affairs for the time being, Higashino Tsukasa turned his attention to "Lemon".

Just the lyrics of this song had a certain touch and impact on Chihaya Higashino.

What would happen if it could really be sung by a singer?

To be honest, Higashinoji was actually looking forward to it.

If you really have this opportunity, it would be good to find a singer to sing this song.

But since we are looking for one, we must also look for high-quality singers. We can’t let some singers with mediocre singing skills ruin this song “Lemon”, right?

Of course Higashinoji also thought about keeping this song for himself.

The original owner's voice is good, clear and translucent, and it really feels like a low-end version of Kenshi Yonezu.

But in his previous life, Higashinoji only had a limited taste in music - he knew how to read music scores, how to sing, and even played a little guitar, but basically he was not very proficient.

Compared with professional singers, the gap is not even a little bit different.

Unless the system suddenly sends him a gift package of singer hits at this time, making him suddenly omniscient and omnipotent, singing "Lemon" by himself can only be thought about in his dreams.

How about asking your sister Higashino Chihaya to sing this song if you can’t sing it yourself?

Just thinking about it a little bit makes me think it's impossible.

Chihaya Higashino is suffering from illness, let alone whether she can sing. Even if she can really sing, Higashinoji will not let her, a mentally ill sister, be exposed in public.

Have you ever seen a family member push their mentally ill blood relative out to help support the cause?

This is obviously impossible.

At least it doesn't exist according to Higashinoji.

If Chihaya Higashino really wants to sing, when she recovers from her illness, Higashinoji can bring out many golden songs from her past life and let her sing them to her heart's content. Even if the lyrics and music are marked as being composed by her, Higashinoji will not think there is anything inappropriate.

Moreover, Chihaya Higashino's previous reaction seemed to be that she was simply touched by the song "Lemon" and did not show any intention of singing this song.

So Higashinoji temporarily put down the option of singing this song to Higashino Chihaya. At the same time, he took the computer on the side and glanced at it quickly.

He planned to listen to the songs on the distribution list and then make a comment.

Higashinoji listened to the songs on the distribution list one by one and pondered for a long time before he couldn't help but shake his head.

Speaking of his feelings, he felt that Yukie Oura, whom Takahashi Yumi mentioned earlier, was the most suitable candidate.

Her songs are in a solo style, and her singing skills are very strong, which is almost the same as Kenshi Yonezu.

But to be honest, her shortcomings are also obvious.

Her voice is mainly soft and soft, and she has quite a taste for singing love songs.

In her body, Higashinoji could not feel the clarity and clarity he had found in Kenshi Yonezu in his previous life.

When singing "Lemon", Kenshi Yonezu's clear and clear male voice is high-pitched, but it carries an indescribable sense of sadness. It is clearly a fresh singing voice but it can suppress the mood of others, just like the title of "Lemon", Fresh yet bitter.

But Higashikata just thought about it and shook his head.

No matter what, Yukie Oura is indeed a good candidate, and Kenshi Yonezu’s talents are not available everywhere.

In addition, Higashinoji has only listened to one or two of her songs, maybe she can bring other surprises?

You have to meet Yuki Oura himself before drawing any conclusions, right?

Higashinoji thought about it over and over and finally decided to contact Hosokawa Koharu.

In Japan, the status of publishing houses is still very high, and it involves various personal connections.

Especially for a large publishing house like Urashima Publishing, there is absolutely no problem in contacting Yukie Oura.

If Urashima Publishing House could help connect people, it would probably not be difficult to meet Yukie Oura and even pay her to sing a song.

With this thought in mind, Higashinoji took out his cell phone and called Hosokawa Koharu.

The call only took a few seconds to get through.

The call connection speed was enough to show how much Hosokawa Koharu attached great importance to Higashinoji.

after awhile--

"What? Mr. Higashino, you wrote a song? Do you want me to help contact Yukie Oura?"

Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but rub the center of his eyebrows.

No one will blame her if she makes such a fuss this time, right?

Because what Higashino did this time was too unbelievable.

Yes.

Hosokawa Koharu could only describe what Higashinoji did as "unbelievable".

Have you ever seen a weekly comic writer who was so dissatisfied that he was nervously preparing for a comic strip, but instead found time to write songs and compose music?

At least Hosokawa Koharu has never seen him before.

The most important thing is that this is completely cross-professional.

You said you can paint oil paintings.

Then Hosokawa Koharu nodded, I can believe it.

You said you know how to graphically design Kumamon.

Hosokawa Koharu also expressed that he could understand.

But you suddenly jumped from painting to music

Then she could only say one thing——

"There's something wrong with you, Mr. Higashino"
