Tokyo life starting with painting

Higashinoji doesn't like the kind of reversal plots in TV dramas or novels.

After all, Gango Ryoko and the others will know about the double gold reward sooner or later, so they will tell him to shut up and hide it, waiting for the last moment to show off.

Higashinoji couldn't play this kind of game, and he didn't want to play it.

Therefore, Tonoji felt that there was no need to hide anything, so he simply said it out loud:

"The gold medal winner in the adult category of the Tokyo Youth Art Award was actually me."

After Higashinoji said these words, Okano Ryoko stopped talking. The originally smiling expression on his face suddenly changed, as if he was a little stiff, or as if he was overly surprised. Anyway, it was a very strange expression.

The other students stopped talking and stared at Higashinoji in silence, their eyes full of confusion, as if they didn't understand what Higashinoji's words meant.

Even Konoe Ryoka could barely hold the peach juice in her hand, and her hand shook several times.

As the only insider of Tonoji, her eyes widened.

No wonder Higashinoji didn't react at all when he heard about the gold medal in the student category. He had already won the gold medal in the adult category, right?

quiet

Quiet--

It's really quiet.

After a while, Higashinoji saw Okano Ryoko clearly swallowing her throat, and then she said in disbelief: "Did you really win the gold medal in the adult category?"

His voice was trembling, and his eyes were complicated.

The main reason is that Okano Ryoko doesn't think Higashinoji is a student who likes to make such embarrassing jokes.

But if she were asked to believe this shocking fact, her own rationality was unwilling to choose to believe it, so her expression and eyes changed somewhat.

But - what if you really get it?

Okano Ryoko's question undoubtedly represents the other silent students in the studio. They all looked at Higashinoji, wondering if he was just being funny.

"I'm not kidding." Higashinoji smiled: "I really got it, the double gold medal in the adult category and the student category."

this

If Ryoko Okano was feeling uneasy just now, after hearing Higashinoji's admission, Ryoko Okano felt a little bit wrong again.

How should I put it? She felt very empty and soft under her feet, as if she was not stepping on the ground, and her whole body had an emptiness floating in the sky.

She first touched her head in confusion, then opened her mouth again, and then looked at Higashinoji with a strange expression.

Turning heads is like flipping through a book, which probably describes her state.

Of course, it's not just her, other female students are also in the same state.

His expression didn't look surprised, but he looked at Toyoshi with a strange look.

It feels like you are looking at a higher level species.

"When did you participate in the adult competition, Higashino-san?" Ryoko Okano finally came to his senses and asked Higashinoji.

It's just that her voice sounds weird and floaty.

"The adult competition I participated in after completing "Tokyo Sunset·Impression"."

After you're done? Isn’t it only a week or two?

"Really? But how did you think of participating in the adult competition?" Ryoko Gangno felt the gap inexplicably. She moved her mouth and asked him again: "Ordinary high school students would never expect to participate in the adult competition."

Yes, most high school students would never think of participating in the adult competition.

Higashikata just smiled cheerfully: "It's nothing I didn't expect. I just think I should be able to do it."

The reason is quite simple and simple.

But it was precisely this reason that made it easier for Ryoko Gangano and other students to accept it.

"Does that mean you really won the gold medal in the adult category, right?"

Gangno Ryoko asked Higashinoji, not noticing that this was the second time she asked this question.

"Well, the Japan Art Education Association called me just now."

Higashikata nodded and admitted.

"" Ryoko Gangno.

She was not so excited that she fainted as described in TV dramas or some novels, but she did take a few deep breaths to stabilize her current excited mood.

This is a double gold reward! The first ever double gold award at the Tokyo Youth Art Awards!

With this kind of honor, Ryoko Gangno originally thought that what Ryuichi Yoshimine had stuffed in was just a scrap, but she didn't expect that Higashinoji turned out to be a diamond that she didn't need to carve.

"I understand." Ryoko Okano nodded: "I will call the principal right away and inform him of the good news of the double gold reward."

After saying this, she stiffened and walked outside the studio.

As soon as Ryoko Gangano left, the entire studio was like a mess in the East China Sea that had lost its magic needle.

Not only the other female students, but even Madoka Fukushima gathered around him with all kinds of chatter.

Various questions were asked directly——

"Higashino-san, I heard that if you win the gold medal in the adult category, you might be interviewed by a TV station, right?"

"This should be true. I don't know the specific situation."

"What did Higashino-kun draw? "Tokyo Sunset·Impression" is already great, but you can actually draw a work that is even more outstanding than it. How did Higashino-kun do it?"

"It can only be said to be a coincidence."

Adolescent girls are like this, they start chirping when they talk, and Tonoji just smiles and answers their questions.

They had quite a few questions, but the general categories were asking what Higashino had drawn and expressing their envy.

After all, it is simply impossible for a high school student to have a head start in the field of art.

But Higashikata just did it.

So, there was this question——

"Higashino-kun, can you do everything except giving birth? You are so amazing."

To this playful and youthful question, Higashinoji also responded in a funny way: "When I find a girlfriend in the future, I will be able to have children."

girlfriend

Perhaps these three words aroused some of the female students present, and they became interested again.

But it was a bit uncomfortable to pester Higashinoji about this issue, so Madoka Fukushima and a group of girls retreated to a corner and discussed in low voices. From time to time, they looked at Higashinoji with a red face and snickered. .

Higashino Tsukasa won the Tokyo Youth Art Award Double Gold Prize as a member of Kitajuku Studio!

Just this one item is particularly impressive when spoken out.

A common phrase used by little girls like them to show off is "I know a friend in the studio"

Although they are not winning the prize, it is a pleasure for them to show off their circle of friends in front of others.

Higashinoji didn't care what they were discussing and returned to his easel and sat down.

The double gold reward was finally won without any surprise or danger.

So what Tonoji should consider now is——

"It's Chihaya's business."

Higashikata muttered.

In fact, the main purpose of participating in the adult and student competitions at the beginning was to increase the bargaining chips with Principal Ryuichi Yoshimine.

But now that he has actually obtained the chips, Higashinoji has a headache.

After all, Chihaya Higashino's condition is there.

Letting her follow him to school may not be a wise choice.

Tonoji sighed and decided to put this idea aside for the time being.

If Higashino Chihaya's condition can be alleviated in the future, it will not be too late to take her to school.

As for now

Higashinoji looked up at the chaotic studio, and then at Ryoko Okano who was chatting excitedly with Ryuichi Yoshimine outside the studio——

Let’s prepare for the awards ceremony tomorrow.
