Tokyo life starting with painting

Chapter 65 Are you Asa’s girlfriend (Additional update for ゆきのしたはるの)

"Why is there any need to be so polite?" Higashinoji smiled and waved his hand: "We are all members of the students of Beiyi Juku, so we should help each other when we have difficulties."

His amiable appearance not only made Aiko Kijo a little embarrassed, but also made Asami Mamanaka, who had been silent on the other side, not sure how to answer the question.

When they broke up last time, Asami was so worried that she hired Kijo Aiko to prevent Tonoji from going crazy, but now she accepted her help.

cough

Aiko Kijo coughed, glanced at Higashinoji, then at Asami Umanaka, and asked Higashinoji in a low voice: "Do I need to give you two some personal space?"

ah? Higashinoji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he immediately understood what Aiko Kijo was thinking.

She was trying to match herself up with Asami Jianaka.

But where is this?

Higashinoji still smiled and answered her: "No, President Kijo, I volunteered to help this time. It has nothing to do with my previous relationship with classmate Jianzhong. Don't think too much about it."

It has nothing to do with your previous relationship. Don’t think too much.

Higashinoji may have said these two words unintentionally, but when Asami heard it, she just felt her mouth was sore.

Higashinoji didn't know what Asami Mamanaka was thinking.

In fact, even if he knew it, he probably wouldn't have any fluctuations in his heart.

He took two steps back and nodded to Asami Mamanaka: "Classmate Mamanaka, the past is in the past, you should think so too, right?"

Well--

Asami was stunned for a moment and was about to answer.

Higashinoji didn't wait for Mamanaka Asami's answer, agreed on a specific time with Kijo Aiko, and turned around to leave.

He was not arrogant or impetuous throughout the whole process. He had no intention of showing off his merits to girls among his peers, nor was he reluctant to let go of his past relationship.

"Asami." Kijo Aiko looked at Higashinoji's back and couldn't help but ask her, "Why did you break up with him then?"

She really couldn't understand it.

Isn't it difficult to find a boyfriend like Higashinoji even with a lantern? Why did Asami want to break up with him?

"I, I don't know either." Asami was also confused for a while. She watched Higashino leave, feeling like she wanted to cry for some reason.

It's not the sad kind of crying, it's the regretful kind that makes my heart feel bitter and my throat is choked.

"He has changed so much." Asami shed tears as she spoke, her voice full of confusion and incomprehension: "Why has he changed so much? What do you mean, the past is past?"

When Kijo Aiko saw her crying, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to comfort her.

How can this be done?

Even if Asami wants to get back together, it depends on whether Higashino agrees or not.

the other side.

"Fortunately, I can go fast." Higashino thought to himself.

In the meantime, Asami looked like she had changed her mind and wanted to get back together, which made him immediately walk away when he saw her.

What he fears most is that the relationship is not broken cleanly enough.

After all, he really doesn't have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Asami Mamanaka, and it wouldn't be good to harm someone else's little girl.

After leaving school, Higashinoji quickly went to the shopping street and bought some snacks that Higashino Chihaya liked to eat, as well as vegetables, beef and other ingredients, and then walked home.

The current economic conditions of the Higashino family are much better than before.

Just from drawing comics alone, Tonoji made a net profit of 6.7 million yen (excluding tax) in two weeks.

This also made Higashino a lot more lavish with money.

But he still had to save some. After all, Chihaya Higashino had to go to the hospital for regular physical examinations every two months, and the expense was quite large.

With this thought in mind, he walked directly to Higashino's house.

But just halfway through, Higashino saw a familiar figure.

"Editor Hosokawa."

Higashinoji stepped forward and said hello to Hosokawa Koharu who was carrying a briefcase.

He did make an appointment with Hosokawa Koharu today, hoping that she could come over to pick up the manga manuscript.

I didn't expect to meet this directly on the road, what a coincidence.

"Ah?! Oh, it's Mr. Higashino." Suddenly being called, Hosokawa Koharu was stunned, and then smiled: "Mr. Higashino, did you just come home from get out of class?"

"Well, I was just about to go home after class, and unexpectedly I met Editor Hosokawa."

"Yeah?"

Hosokawa Koharu nodded and glanced at Higashinoji from time to time, but there was still an unavoidable feeling of surprise in his heart.

She did know that Higashinoji was a high school student, but she always felt unreal until she saw it with her own eyes.

Look at Higashinoji wearing a high school uniform with a stand-up collar and carrying various ingredients.

Hosokawa Koharu found it both surprising and novel—is it true that a high school student started drawing comics?

"Does Teacher Higashino usually go out to buy ingredients by himself?"

Hosokawa Koharu asked curiously while following Higashinoji.

"Yes." Higashino responded, then smiled and said to her, "It's always like this."

"Oh" Hosokawa Koharu nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Mr. Higashino is not only very filial to his editors, but also to his parents.

but

Hosokawa Koharu glanced at the surrounding environment.

Higashinoji lives in Adachi Ward, Japan. As the area with the lowest economy in Tokyo every year, the living environment here is much worse than the Meguro Ward where she lives.

This environment is really bad. No wonder Mr. Higashino wants to make money by drawing comics.

But it's okay.

Hosokawa Koharu looked at the apartment building where Higashinoji lived, and felt quite at ease.

At least the place where Higashino lives is not that bad.

"There may be some chaos at home, so please forgive me Editor Hosokawa."

"Ah, well, it's okay." Hosokawa Koharu, who was looking around, looked away after hearing this and looked at the door in front of Tonoji, feeling somewhat excited.

This is her first time visiting a comic book author's home.

I don’t know how to tell Mr. Higashino’s parents that it would be rude to come to the house without bringing a souvenir. Leave your son to me. This sounds a bit ambiguous, right?

She was thinking wildly, feeling like a little girl visiting her boyfriend's house for the first time.

Hosokawa Koharu glanced at Higashinoji next to her, and saw that he still looked calm, and she felt relieved for some reason.

What are you afraid of!

I'm an adult! He’s also Higashino-sensei’s editor! Even Mr. Higashino didn't panic at all, so why should I panic?

Thinking this, Hosokawa Koharu took a deep breath and calmed down completely.

Then, she saw Higashino opened the door.

"I'm back, Chihaya-san."

Touyesi opened the door and said hello to the room.

Then Hosokawa Koharu heard a rush of footsteps.

A girl wearing pink pajamas appeared in front of her.

"You're back, Asi?"

Under the gaze of Hosokawa Koharu, this melancholy-looking girl wearing pink pajamas bypassed Higashinoji and focused on herself instead.

then--

The girl in pink pajamas was stunned, then she walked up to Hosokawa Koharu innocently and asked in a low voice:

"Are you Asi's girlfriend?"

——Okay, the update is over and not a drop has been lost. Don't rush it.
