Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 245 The end of the world is coming (4000 words)

Higashinoji never thought that one day he would be treated like a star.

After all, the comic book industry is not like that of singers or actors, who can often appear on TV. To put it simply, fans value your comics and will basically not pay any attention to you as the author.

But Higashinoji thought about it for a while and felt that it was normal for him to be so famous in Kitajuku.

After all, the school he attended was from Kokugi Juku, and coupled with the school's hype and discussions with many students, his name naturally spread throughout Kita Yoijuku.

only.

This spread was a bit too widespread. Although it did not reach the level of being chased and intercepted as described in many novels, Higashino simply came to school, and many students in the lower grades recognized him along the way and asked him if he could Can't sign them.

Higashinoji basically smiled and nodded in agreement, but it still took a lot of time because of this matter.

Higashino neatly signed the signature book handed to him by the little girl in front of him. He originally planned to leave, but he was stopped and asked if he could add a sentence of "To Toyoko Yasunaga". .

This made Tonoji couldn't help but look at her twice. Could this girl be his old fan?

After satisfying the other party's request, Tonoji walked all the way back to his classroom and barely sat down before the first class started.

Tonoji ignored the curious glances around him from time to time, and settled down to think.

This time, it was considered as a face-changing experience in the class. Next, I went to meet Ryoko Okano and Ryuichi Yoshimine. This trip to the Kita Educational School was considered to be a complete face-changing experience.

He made up his mind, then gathered his thoughts and began to think about the follow-up issues of "Unnatural Death" and "The Winner is Justice".

This ride took us right to noon.

After declining several bold girls who came over to invite him to dinner, Tonoji stood up and walked decisively to the staff office - he walked very fast, and he felt that if he walked slower, he might suddenly get into the crowd of students. A girl asked, "Can you date me?" Higashino-san. ’

But what Higashinoji didn't expect was that just when he went to the office to get acquainted with Okano Ryoko, some students simply spread the news that Higashinoji was in the school.

This is an unspeakable strange thing in the usually boring study life. Both boys and girls are interested. Many people stood outside the faculty and staff office curiously and looked inside - it's really like Japanese people looking at big things. It feels like a panda.

This made Tonoji, who was chatting with Gango Ryoko, look at them a few more times and felt that this was too exaggerated.

As if aware of Higashinoji's thoughts, Okano Ryoko squinted his eyes and looked at Higashinoji cheerfully: "Actually, this is not an exaggeration at all, Higashino-kun, not to mention all the new students who enrolled this year are interested in you. I’m interested, but I guess half of them applied to Kita Gym High School after hearing your name.”

Okano Ryoko drank a cup of tea and continued, "Teacher Higashino, you also know that Principal Yoshimine is a person who has always wanted to make you the signature of Kita Yoshinori, and has also adopted a lot of publicity methods."

"So that's it."

When Ryoko Gangno said this, Toyoshi suddenly realized.

Indeed. Ryuichi Yoshimine is this kind of person.

In the past, when Higashinoji was in school, he always liked to hang huge vertical banners like calligraphy brushes on the school building. When he said, "Warmly congratulate our student Higashinoji for winning the XXX honor in the XXX competition," I guess the other party also considered the issue of portrait rights. Otherwise, Higashinoji's face might be used as a poster photo for the Kita Education Office.

Under such constant exposure, it is normal for these lower grade students to be interested in themselves.

Seeing Higashino thinking for a moment, Okano Ryoko continued to smile: "Similarly, thanks to Higashino-san, even the funding for our Kita Yoshinori studio has increased a lot, and the original studio space has also been expanded. By the way, Higashino-san, Konoe-san has taken care of your painting supplies. After all, she has the best relationship with you."

"At most, I only helped a little bit. The Kita Yoijuku Studio itself is already thriving."

Higashikata smiled and did not take all the credit.

At most it helped a little bit.

Ryoko Okano was a bit amused. Higashinoji caused a sensation within the school when he directly won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award. This was definitely not as 'little busy' as Higashinoji said.

However, she did not continue talking about this topic. After all, she herself had received a lot of care from Higashinoji - the school gave her a bonus to encourage her as a 'Higashinoji' excavator to continue to dig out more discoveries. Similar to students like Higashinoji.

This is simply a problem similar to "Schrödinger's cat". How could she discover anything about Higashinoji? At the beginning, Higashinoji was a person forced by Ryuichi Yoshimine. The most important thing is that if a talent like Higashinoji could be discovered casually, that talent would be too worthless.

Tonoji chatted with Okano Ryoko for nearly half an hour before he got up and walked to the principal's office, ready to say hello to Ryuichi Yoshimine.

This time I went to see Yoshimine Ryuichi, mainly hoping that he could turn a blind eye to his academic performance or absence from classes at Kitaka Junior High School. After all, Higashinoji will probably be absent from class for a long time in the next six months, or will he? It's better to respect each other and say hello.

Ryuichi Yoshimine is worthy of being the principal of Kitajuku, and he really knows how to be a good person. His attitude has not changed since Higashinoji became famous. He still has the same kind face: "Higashino-kun, it's been a long time."

This was actually a small test for him. After all, Higashinoji hadn't been back to school for so long, and he didn't even care about school affairs. This made Ryuichi Yoshimine feel quite a sense of crisis.

After all, Kitajuku needs Higashinoji now, and the small favor he gave Higashinoji before was nothing at all. So he had to ask a small question.

Higashinoji naturally understood the meaning of Yoshimine Ryuichi's words, but the other party's attitude was very good and he always smiled, so naturally he would not: "It's been a long time indeed, Principal Yoshimine, I will ask for your continued care in the future. "

After hearing this sentence, "I will ask for your continued care in the future," Ryuichi Yoshimine's smile undoubtedly grew even more.

He laughed and waved his hands: "Please take care of each other. Excellent students like Higashino-kun don't need to be polite to me."

Of course he, an old man, understood the meaning of Higashinoji's words, and he also said in a subtle way, "No problem, you can go about your business. It's best to come back with some prizes. The Kita Gym will find a solution for these things during class." of. ’

Higashinoji chatted with Yoshimine Ryuichi for a while, and then he solved all the goals he wanted to achieve today.

There is only one afternoon left, just hang out and then go home with Konoe Ryoka. Today is the end of the day.

Higashino nodded as he thought about it and walked towards his class.

And just at the back of the teaching building, which was about a hundred meters away from Higashinoji, Konoe Ryoka was looking at the senior high school student Madoka Fukushima who was bowing to her in front of her in astonishment——

"I'm so sorry! Konoe-san! Can you please give me a chance to confess my love to Higashino-san?"

This Fukushima Madoka-senpai participated in the Tokyo Youth Art Award Ceremony with Higashinoji last year and won the Bronze Prize. She is also a senior in the Kitajijuku studio whom Konoe Ryoka respects very much.

But the senior in the studio actually wants to steal her boyfriend?

It might not be appropriate to say it was 'robbing'. But the other party really wanted her to quit by saying this, right? This is really no different from ‘stealing’.

This shocking fact made Konoe Ryoka unable to react for a long time, because she knew that Madoka Fukushima had been taken care of by Higashinoji at the Tokyo Youth Art Prize, but she did not know that Madoka Fukushima liked Higashinoji.

It wasn't until Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi pulled on Konoe Ryoka's sleeves that she realized: "Fukushima-senpai, do you actually like Asahi Higashino-kun?"

". It can only be said to be unrequited love. During the Youth Art Appreciation, Higashino-san took care of me a lot." When talking about this, Madoka Fukushima felt an indescribable sense of regret and helplessness.

It’s really helpless.

She originally wanted to confess to Higashinoji after the Tokyo Youth Art Prize, but she realized how much Higashinoji took care of Konoe Ryoka.

So Madoka Fukushima thought carefully and hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to rush forward and confess her love - it's okay even if she fails, this is youth.

But there is a saying that goes well: hesitation leads to defeat.

Higashinoji went to school less and less, and in the end he didn't come to school at all.

This made Madoka Fukushima, who was about to confess her love, completely dumbfounded. If Higashinoji didn't come to class, where would she go to confess her love?

——You have to know that she only has this year, and she will graduate in the next year. Is it possible that this will leave the regret of unrequited love in adolescence?

My youth is about to die before it even begins.

This was unacceptable to Madoka Fukushima for a time.

But just today, Madoka Fukushima learned from several studio friends that Higashinoji had finally returned to Kita Kyijuku to attend school.

This made her unable to sit still any longer, so she came up with the idea of ​​stopping Konoe Ryoka.

And to be honest, in Madoka Fukushima's impression, Konoe Ryoka was a gloomy and silent art student who always lowered his head and huddled in a corner to draw.

Even if Konoe Ryoka was later revealed to have bigger breasts and a prettier face, it still couldn't change her dull, soft-spoken character who didn't dare to resist other people.

It is estimated that as long as I, the senior, exert a little force and feel a little pressure, Konoe Ryoka will nod and give way as usual in the studio.

"Konoe-san, can you agree to my request?" Seeing that Konoe Ryoka didn't respond, Fukushima Madoka took two steps closer and asked.

But before Konoe Ryoka could say anything, Takahashi Yumi beside her couldn't help but stood up. She glared at Madoka Fukushima with her big eyes, straightened her chest, and was not afraid of this senior senior sister at all.

What are you going to do? Robbing someone by force?

She won't allow this.

Takahashi Yumi said plausibly: "Senior, you probably can't do it. Teacher Higashino won't like you."

Um?

Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, and he also insisted that Dongye Si would not like him.

This made Madoka Fukushima couldn't help but frown: "This classmate, what is the basis for your statement?"

"Because Mr. Higashikata likes girls with big breasts the most. Your breasts are not big and you are not pretty either. Mr. Higashino won't like you."

These words blocked Madoka Fukushima from saying a word for a long time, because she also knew that her appearance and figure were indeed not as good as Konoe Ryoka.

But people can’t just look at their looks!

Although her appearance is not as good as Konoe Ryoka, her personality is not bad, and she is the lively type that many adolescent boys like - boys can't be so perfunctory and only look at other people's faces, right?

It's just that Madoka Fukushima didn't have the confidence to say this herself. She said hesitantly: "You can't say that. Higashino-san is probably not that kind of person. And I'm not telling you, I'm talking to Konoe-san." Discuss, don’t interrupt.”

"Lianghua and I are brothers and sisters." Yumi Takahashi patted her chest: "What's hers is mine, and what's mine is hers. I also share in her boyfriend's house. I often eat and drink at her boyfriend's house. Yes, if Mr. Dongye is really abducted by you, how can I eat and drink?"

"???" Madoka Fukushima was knocked unconscious by Yumi Takahashi's combination of punches. Especially when Yumi Takahashi spoke, she was very confident - even though what she said made no sense and made no sense, she was very confident anyway. There is a sense of certainty that I have decided on you.

This confused Madoka Fukushima's originally organized language.

"." Fujiwara Aoi.

Listening to Yumi Takahashi's bandit logic, Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but cover her forehead, and then she took two steps back, wanting to call Higashinoji.

She had been listening for a long time, and she finally figured it out.

Madoka Fukushima just wanted to rob Higashinoji. Since the person who tied the bell had to be tied to untie the bell, it would be better to call Higashinoji over and talk to him in person.

After all, Konoe Ryoka's soft temper definitely couldn't handle this kind of thing.

Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara also knew the temperament of their best friend. They had known Ryoka Konoe since the first grade. Whenever someone made a request, Ryoka Konoe would not let the word "no" out of her mouth.

This is the kind of character that doesn't know how to reject others.

Takahashi Yumi once joked that if she heard Konoe Ryoka reject someone else, then the world would probably end tomorrow.

Fujiwara Aoi thought about it and turned to Higashinoji's phone number.

Konoe Ryoka, who had been silent, suddenly made a voice: "Fukushima-senpai, I can't agree to your request, I'm sorry."

This sudden voice made Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi look at each other.

No way?

Did Konoe Ryoka reject someone else?

Is the world going to end tomorrow?
