Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 33 Why do you feel inferior?

After educating Konoe Ryoka, Tonoji was too lazy to continue talking to her.

He just put the easel aside, then took out a sketchbook from his bag, picked up a pencil and eraser, and started writing on it.

Because Konoe Ryoka had just been bullied by Higashinoji, she didn't dare to talk to him for a while, so she started to pick up the dry-framed painting board, fixed it on the easel and prepared to paint.

She didn't paint characters in gouache today, but she also wanted to try painting the scenery of Tokyo.

She didn't know why she thought of painting this, maybe because she had been encouraged and persuaded by Higashinoji next to her.

But Konoe Ryoka had no intention of submitting her painting to the competition.

How could she win the award?

Konoe Ryoka recalled the scenery she and Higashinoji saw yesterday, and after thinking for a moment, she picked up a pencil and started drafting.

But just halfway through the painting, Madoka Fukushima’s curious voice came from the side——

"Higashino-kun, what are you doing?"

Konoe Ryoka unconsciously raised her head and glanced sideways, and subconsciously looked towards Higashinoji.

I saw a Fukushima Madoka next to Higashinoji at some point. It seemed that the other person had been specially dressed and had a layer of light makeup on his face.

Madoka Fukushima has good looks, with long flowing hair, and this makeup can make a group of adolescent boys unable to take their eyes away.

Konoe Ryoka shrank her neck, lowered her head in inferiority, but quickly raised her head again.

She wanted to see Higashinoji's reaction.

Because Higashino always gets angry when he faces her and can't control his emotions.

Now that he sees such a beautiful Fukushima-senpai, wouldn't he send it directly to Fukushima-senpai?

Under the gaze of Konoe Ryoka, Higashinoji's fingers drawing on the sketch first stopped for a moment, and then his clean eyes were raised, and he answered in a bored tone:

"I'm drawing comics."

His tone was calm, his eyes were straight, and there was no hint of any evil intentions at all. Even Konoe Ryoka felt that there was something in his tone——

impatient?

How is this possible?

Konoe Ryoka felt incredible.

I am very ugly, so Higashino is so cruel to me.

But Fukushima-senpai is such a beautiful person, why does Higashinoji have the same attitude? Shouldn't he just take advantage of the situation and send the whole person over?

"Huh? Drawing comics? Higashino-san still has this hobby?"

Madoka Fukushima became interested and leaned towards Higashinoji.

In response to this, Higashinoji also laughed cheerfully, put down his sketchbook, and joked:

"It's just a hobby, not something that can be put on the market. It's not as good as Fukushima-senpai."

Just a hobby? Something that can’t be put on the table?

Konoe Ryoka looked at Higashinoji timidly, remembering his comic "Midnight Ring" in "Abominable Chill" today.

It has been published and serialized in the three major comics companies. Doesn’t this still count as being on the table?

Of course, if Higashinoji knew what Konoe Ryoka was thinking, he would probably just smile.

He didn't mean to show off or be arrogant. After all, the little girls like Madoka Fukushima didn't know that he was serialized in the magazine, so he was showing off to the public?

Higashikata smiled and spoke again:

"Speaking of which, Fukushima-senpai is dressed up really beautifully today. Are you going to go shopping with your boyfriend later?"

"No." Madoka Fukushima smiled after hearing Higashinoji's compliment: "I've been busy with work, so I don't have time to have a boyfriend. Higashino-kun is really good at joking."

"Really?" Higashinoji looked a little surprised, and then showed a look of regret: "Oh, I have other things to do this afternoon, otherwise I would definitely be Fukushima-senpai's flower protector."

He looked really sorry.

That long and short sigh completely satisfied Madoka Fukushima's little vanity. She covered her mouth and smiled: "Higashino-kun, you are so serious."

The two chatted happily for a while, and then Madoka Fukushima turned around and left with satisfaction.

Tonoji breathed out and then picked up the eraser and pencil again.

When Konoe Ryoka saw this, she immediately turned her head, as if she was drawing seriously, for fear that Higashinoji would find her.

but--

"What were you looking at just now?"

Higashinoji's voice came from his ears.

Konoe Ryoka immediately made a sound like a cat being strangled by the throat.

She turned her head tremblingly.

I saw Higashikata stopping the pencil in his hand and looking at him with interest.

Gudu

Konoe Ryoka swallowed.

After a while, she asked him in a low voice: "Today, what do you want to do this afternoon?"

They all rejected Fukushima-senpai directly. Higashinoji must have something important to do, right?

"Ah?" Higashinoji looked confused: "What can happen to me?"

"Huh? But, but"

But isn’t that what you just said?

Konoe Ryoka was stunned.

"I made it up. What can I do in the afternoon?" Higashino took a breath, and then said: "But I really don't have time to spend time with girls. What? Are you interested in going out with her? Can I help you say a few words to her?"

As he said this, Higashinoji actually called Madoka Fukushima.

This time, Konoe Ryoka was frightened.

She was not like Higashinoji who could talk to Madoka Fukushima, who had the highest status in the studio, so casually.

Seeing Madoka Fukushima asking, "What's going on?" ’ After answering, she came over. Konoe Ryoka immediately looked at Higashinoji helplessly, looking lonely and helpless.

Seeing this, Higashinoji also smiled and waved his hands: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm running out of Pulan. Does Fukushima-senpai have any extra? I'll give you a new one tomorrow."

"It's just a tube of paint, why do you need to return a new one?"

Madoka Fukushima had no doubt that he was there, so she turned around and took her Pulan and gave it to Higashinoji.

After thanking her, Toyoji watched her return to her seat. Then he turned to look at Konoe Ryoka: "Do you understand? These are very basic social rhetoric. Ryoka-san, you should be more careful at ordinary times. Follow me. Learn some of this.”

As he spoke, he curled his lips:

"Otherwise, I suspect that if you enter the Japanese workplace in the future, you will probably be eaten up to the point of being eaten up in less than two days."

"Huh?" Regarding Higashinoji's words, Konoe Ryoka touched her head in confusion and whispered softly: "But my family has several good companies? The people there are very nice to me. "

""Higashinoji.

Aren't you talking nonsense! ?

It's your company, and the employees there still dare to be rude to you?

Tonoji couldn't help but rub his temples, looked at Konoe Ryoka's little face that was ignorant of the world, and shook his head speechlessly.

Higashinoji really can't understand Konoe Ryoka's situation.

If you have been bullied, have poor grades, are not popular, and have poor family conditions, it is understandable to have low self-esteem.

But you are also average-looking, and your family still has money.

Why do you feel inferior in this situation? Do you have the right to feel inferior?

Higashinoji shook his head, really confused as to why Konoe Ryoka was so confident in her inferiority complex.
