Tokyo life starting with painting

Konoe Ryoka carried her bag and walked forward. With great difficulty, she came to Higashinoji's side, and a pancake was immediately poked at her face.

"Here, here's something to eat. You've had a hard day today, Konoe-san."

Higashinoji smiled and gave Konoe Ryoka a strawberry-flavored pancake.

"Oh," Konoe Ryoka, who was suddenly attacked by Higashinoji, subconsciously responded and took the pancake.

Then she half-raised her head anxiously: "I, I will give you the money later, Higashino-san."

"No, it's just a pancake."

Tonoji waved his hand.

He could still afford a pancake of 150 yen.

The two of them found a bench and sat down.

Konoe Ryoka watched Higashinoji bite the pancake and look around from time to time, and finally asked with some curiosity:

"What are you looking at? Higashino-san?"

"Me? I'm looking at a painting." Higashino put down the pancake and pointed forward: "Look over there."

Konoe Ryoka turned her head.

The next moment, her eyes froze.

The slowly setting sun is like an orange glow dissolved in water. The soft brilliance, which is not dazzling, passes through the fine dust in the air, producing the Tyndall effect.

The light seemed to reflect and tremble on the surface of the sea.

Yes, the city of Tokyo is glowing with cool colors under the sunset.

Under the cold color of the building, which is completely different from the warm color above, the natural color and modern creation are perfectly integrated, and the cold and warm are self-consistent.

Higashinoji is indeed looking at paintings

Konoe Ryoka finally understood what Higashinoji meant when he said 'I'm looking at a painting'.

This is a magnificent Tokyo oil painting in which rapid brushstrokes and light projections echo each other, and the color shades are appropriately matched.

"This is the Tokyo I want to paint."

Higashinoji crossed his index finger and thumb to create a square viewfinder.

Leisurely and soothing, the pizza vendor nearby, the Tokyo Steel Forest in the distance, and the sunset even further away

The breeze blew by, as if time had frozen.

Higashikata was very satisfied.

He ended his work early this time just to collect materials outside.

And he did get a good view.

Reminiscing about the scene just now, Higashino felt his hands itchy, as if he had scratched something.

"Don't talk about this, how are you doing over there? Have you finished the painting?" Higashinoji turned his head and looked at Konoe Ryoka.

This little girl painted him, so of course he had to ask a few questions.

"The painting is finished."

Konoe Ryoka nodded subconsciously, but her face soon turned red.

Because she remembered.

She drew Higashinoji so beautifully.

That painting is probably the most beautiful gouache painting she has ever done.

On the one hand, Higashi Yesi has a good foundation, and on the other hand, Higashino has been teaching her these days. No matter how stupid she is, she has improved a lot.

"Really?" Higashinoji said nothing after asking this question. He took a bite of the pancake and glanced around.

Looking at Higashinoji, Konoe Ryoka thought of the discussion between Fukushima-senpai and other studio students just now.

"Higashino-san, how is your sister doing lately?"

She subconsciously spilled the beans, and although she quickly covered her mouth, she still said all the words.

So Konoe Ryoka stood up hurriedly:

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Higashino-kun! I didn't mean to say it."

While she apologized, she secretly looked at Higashinoji's expression.

Higashinoji's pretty face seemed a little surprised, but he soon smiled in relief.

"That's just the way Chihaya-san is. Like you, she also likes to eat pancakes. Where did you hear this?"

Although he had not been with Konoe Ryoka for two days, Higashinoji also knew that she was not very interested in rumors.

"Just now, a senior in the studio said something." Konoe Ryoka tightened her grip on the pancake, worried that Higashinoji would be angry.

After all, exposing people does not expose shortcomings.

But what Konoe Ryoka didn't expect was that Higashinoji just responded, 'Really? ’, he seemed to have lost interest and stopped continuing.

There was no rage as Konoe Ryoka imagined, nor did she show any grudge.

He was still looking at the scenery ahead.

This silence made Konoe Ryoka panic.

She thought maybe Toyesi was not a good expressive person, and he was probably feeling uncomfortable holding back now.

But he was not a member of Higashinoji, so he didn't know how to comfort him in this situation, so he could only lower his head and sit next to him.

After sitting like this for half an hour, Higashinoji turned his head strangely:

"What are you doing?"

Why does this little girl keep sitting next to me? You won’t leave even after you finish eating?

"Why?"

Konoe Ryoka didn't expect that such words would suddenly come out of Higashinoji's mouth, so she opened her mouth dryly:

"I, don't forget about me, Higashino-san."

Konoe Ryoka thought about it for a long time, and finally said a very clumsy word to comfort Higashinoji.

"What's wrong with me?" Higashino asked.

"It's just that seniors and others are discussing your affairs behind your back, so don't be angry."

Hi - Higashinoji thought it was a big deal.

To be honest, he didn't care about this kind of thing at all.

You can’t say you don’t care, but what’s the use of caring? He couldn't just rush into the studio with a knife and do double kills, triple kills, or big kills, right?

But looking at Konoe Ryoka's goose-like expression, he couldn't help but tease:

"Yeah, I'm in a bad mood right now. If you give me your set of German painting tools, I won't be angry anymore."

"Well"

After hearing this, Konoe Ryoka looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Higashino said with a pretentious face: "As expected, I still can't bear to part with you, so why don't you advise me not to be angry?"

"No, no." Konoe Ryoka clenched her little hands tightly, lowered her head in grievance, and then whispered: "Can you wait for me?"

Um?

Higashinoji didn't understand what this sentence meant for a while, but then he saw Konoe Ryoka walking forward hurriedly with her head lowered, like a little ostrich that didn't even look at the road.

Her bag was placed next to Higashikata and was not taken away.

After a while, Konoe Ryoka returned.

This time, she was holding a lot of things, her face was red, and she was breathing quietly.

It's not that I'm shy, I'm just tired.

A brand new painting box, brushes, board brushes, and a set of unopened painting tools.

Higashinoji could tell at a glance that it was the same style of paintbrush she used.

"Did you go shopping for painting supplies?"

"Yes." Konoe Ryoka gently wiped her sweat, nodded, and said to him hesitantly and awkwardly: "I, my painting tools are in the studio."

"So you bought me a new set?"

"Um."

Konoe Ryoka responded softly.

Okay, this girl

Higashikata rubbed his temples, opened his mouth, and then asked:

"How much?"

"ah?"

"I asked you how much it cost!"

Higashinoji's voice was a little angry.

I really tease others all day long, but I didn’t expect to be pecked in the eye today.

Who knew that this 'idiot' would actually buy a whole set of painting tools just because of his words?
