Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara looked at each other, their expressions more or less stiff, and at the same time, they didn't forget to look at each other.

'Why didn't you just remove Aomori Prefecture?' Higashino-san's choice of Aomori Prefecture is now, what are we going to do now? ’

Aoi Fujiwara looked at Yumi Takahashi with some complaint.

I don't know, the whole of Japan is so big, who knew that Higashino-sensei chose Aomori Prefecture? Besides, aren't you usually smart? Why didn't you alert me at this time? So you have to take the blame too! ’

Yumi Takahashi really felt wronged, raised her hands, and said that she wanted to die together, and no one should think about it.

They made eye contact here, and the two of them looked at the Konoe Lianghua behind them.

Konoe Ryoka also showed a surprised expression at this time, she didn't expect Higashino Tsukasa to actually think about going to Aomori Prefecture.

So she coughed and whispered, "I think Aomori Prefecture is a little... Ace..."

It seems that for Aomori Prefecture, Konoe Lianghua should be a little unspeakable.

Before Ryoka Konoe finished speaking, Yumi Takahashi next to her took the initiative to jump out.

She thought that if she wanted to assist Ryoka Konoe, she would at least dispel the idea of Higashino Tsukasa going to Aomori Prefecture, so she hurriedly said: "Actually, there is nothing fun in Aomori Prefecture, that is, you can watch windmills, there are a lot of delicious things, at most you can watch whales, and there is really nothing else... It's really boring. ”

"Huh? Can you see windmills and whales? "Tsukasa Higashino is more interested.

He had never seen windmills and whales in the Celestial Empire before, and it was indeed a bit attractive to him.

"Whew!" Yumi Takahashi immediately covered her mouth, she felt that she had probably said the wrong thing, not only did she not give Ryoka Konoe a round, but it made Tsukasa Higashino want to go to Aomori Prefecture even more.

So she hurriedly winked at Aoi Fujiwara next to her, wanting her to help make a round for Ryoka Konoe.

And it just so happened that Aoi Fujiwara saw that Tsukasa Higashino didn't seem to understand what it meant to be able to see whales and windmills, so he liked to give people the mistake of popularizing science: "I remember that there is the largest wind power plant in Japan over there in Aomori, and there are a lot of whalers by the sea, uh... I didn't say anything. ”

She shut up halfway through speaking, and seeing that Tsukasa Higashino seemed to be getting more and more interested, she directly and stiffly changed the subject: "Actually, it's nothing, windmills and whales." ”

On the other side, listening to the two dead friends who gave him a round, Konoe Lianghua was stunned.

It's normal for Yumi Takahashi to be stupid, but Aoi, why did you suddenly lose your intelligence? Suddenly start outputting to me?

Konoe Lianghua was baffled by the two of them's 'round field', and felt that the two of them were simply here to harm themselves.

"Okay, stop laughing." Tsukasa Higashino smiled, and the anticipation and excitement on his face were gone—although he did want to see the whales and windmills in reality, if Ryoka Konoe really didn't want to go, it was naturally impossible for Tsukasa Higashino to really disrespect their opinions and bring them all over.

Merely...

"I see the way you just looked... There must be some reason, right? Tell me your reasons, and I can consider not going to Aomori Prefecture. ”

"Uh... Higashino-sensei... Have you found out? ”

Yumi Takahashi looked at Tsukasa Higashino with some astonishment, and expressed surprise that the other party understood the action of her and Aoi Fujiwara... She thought she was doing something very hidden.

"I just said this just by paraphrasing you, you really have a reason?" Higashino Tsukasa was a little funny, he really didn't expect Yumi Takahashi to be so easy to deceive, just casually deceived, she took the initiative to confess everything.

Listening to Tsukasa Higashino's explanation, Yumi Takahashi's eyes widened, she swallowed her saliva, she didn't expect Tsukasa Higashino to be so cunning at all... Originally, she wanted to help Ryoka Konoe keep it a secret, but she exposed all kinds of things on her backhand.

It left her a little speechless... The point is, Mr. Higashino, this is inevitably too treacherous, right? actually deceived me about the feelings of an innocent girl.

"Alright, Ace, you don't tease Yumi anymore."

Seeing that his 'good teammates' were brought into the pit one by one by Tsukasa Higashino, Ryoka Konoe sighed helplessly, and directly explained the reason: "Actually, it's mainly my reason... My home is in Aomori Prefecture. ”

Yes, that's why she just heard the words 'Aomori Prefecture' with a strange expression.

"The family?" Higashino's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard this: "I remember Lianghua, you also said before, didn't your family have already moved to Tokyo?" ”

"It's true that I've moved to Tokyo, but my family... Well... In other words, most of the Konoe family's industry is still in Aomori Prefecture. My father usually lives in Aomori Prefecture, and he doesn't come to Tokyo for a while unless he has a job. ”

When Ryoka Konoe explained, she couldn't help but secretly look at Tsukasa Higashino... Suddenly saying this, I guess it makes the other party a little difficult to accept.

After all, going to Aomori Prefecture is equivalent to seeing your father... This is the direct meeting with the parents... Even Tsukasa Higashino must be a little nervous, right?

Ryoka Konoe: This is also for the sake of Tsukasa Higashino.

What worries Ryoka Konoe even more is whether Tsukasa Higashino won't want to see his father... After all, the interpersonal aspect...

In short, as long as it involves the matter of Higashino Tsukasa and his relatives, Konoe Ryoka has a feeling that her head hurts and she doesn't know how to deal with it.

She's weak, and she's not assertive about this kind of thing at all... But the only thing she knows for sure is that if Tsukasa Higashino falls out with her father, she will definitely follow Tsukasa Higashino - and elope.

Because since my mother passed away, I haven't been very happy in that home... is to get acquainted with Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi, the two comic friends, otherwise Konoe Ryoka would have been unable to support it for a long time.

"In summary... That's why I don't want you to go to Aomori Prefecture. Konoe Ryoka summed up weakly: "Ace should think the same way, right?" It's not good to see my father too early..."

"No, it won't. Just seeing my father-in-law. ”

Before Konoe Ryoka's words were finished, Higashino Tsukasa had already spoken a little funny: "I thought it was a big deal, and it was so complicated." ”

His tone was relaxed, his expression was calm, and he really looked like he didn't care, which made Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi a little uncertain.

This is indeed a bit of a game that doesn't follow the routine.

Generally, young people want to go to the woman's house to see their father-in-law and mother-in-law, and their expressions are more or less nervous... Why did you come here at Higashino Tsukasa casually, and there was no pressure at all?

Ryoka Konoe was a little stunned by Higashino Division's vaguely anti-guest appearance, and it took a while to react: "Ace, you have the confidence to be with my father... That one... Communication? ”

It's been a long time since she's had a face-to-face conversation with her father, even if she returns home for the annual meeting, which is just to visit relatives and Konoe family business partners.

Tsukasa Higashino didn't answer this question, but just asked Ryoka Konoe happily.

"Isn't it a good thing to have a son-in-law like me who is young and promising, good-looking, full of artistic cells, and has a good reputation outside?"

"Uh..."

Ryoka Konoe was overwhelmed by Tsukasa Higashino's overconfident words...

But strictly speaking... Tsukasa Higashino really wasn't wrong.

He's good-looking, handsome, but not too weak, and he's the kind of person who can be called a good person, and he can be called a young man, whether it's the current influence of "Unnatural Death" or his role as the youngest recipient of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award... If you can't call it a young and promising, very artistic talent... I guess no one would dare to call themselves that.

Konoe Lianghua didn't answer here.

On the other side, Higashino Chihaya took the initiative to jump out, crossed his waist very seriously, raised his head, and looked like he was looking at people with his nostrils:

"That's right, my brother is right, he is good-looking, and he is not wrong to say that he is young and promising, there are few people like my brother in the world, Lianghua Your father will definitely cry with joy, and quickly nodded in agreement."

Originally, Higashino Chihaya was about to say, 'Your father will definitely cry with joy, and then hug Aji's thigh and tell him not to leave.' But a voice in her heart told her that it wasn't appropriate to say that, so Higashino Chihaya changed her mind in the middle of speaking.

She didn't know why she had this strange feeling, and she reached out and scratched her hair with a confused expression.

Higashino Chihaya herself has inherited the genes of the Higashino family almost with Higashino Division.,Belong to the kind of girl who looks particularly beautiful.,At this time, I saw her tilting her head and touching her head...

Yumi Takahashi couldn't bear it directly, picked it up, and rubbed her face on Chihaya Higashino: "Sister Chihaya is so cute..."

"Isn't that a matter of course? Ace is the most handsome in the world, and my sister is naturally the most lovely in the world! Higashino Chihaya crossed his waist again, and also rubbed against Yumi Takahashi's face.

was interrupted by Yumi Takahashi and Chihaya Higashino, and Ryoka Konoe's nervousness just now was suddenly relieved.

She looked at Yumi Takahashi, who had a mess with Chihaya Higashino, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

It's just that before this smile appeared for half a second, Higashino Tsukasa had already reached out and grabbed her face and pulled it to both sides.

"It hurts... Tsukasa Konoe's voice squealed softly, but she didn't slap Higashino's hand away, but instead looked at him with a gentle gaze.

"Then I won't pinch it?" Higashino tugged at her snow-white pink cheeks, and just smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Uh..."Konoe Ryoka's words were slightly stuck, her big eyes shone like water, and it seemed a little inappropriate to look like it, but after a while, she nodded: "Hmm." ”

This look made Higashino Tsukasa a little funny, so he let go of his hand and patted her head:

"Don't always think about things so complicated, it's just a meeting, your dad can't eat people, can you really eat me when you meet?"

This little girl's previous consideration was simply thinking too much.

After saying this, he turned around and planned to go to the Internet to check the location of the Aomori Prefecture Windmill Power Plant and the whaling experience of these services.

But before he could take two steps, Konoe Lianghua grabbed his sleeve, with a little curiosity on his face: "As... That one... Did you deliberately say those things to put me at ease? ”

Because 'Isn't it a good thing to have a son-in-law like me who is young and promising, good-looking, full of artistic cells, and has a good reputation outside...' This kind of narcissistic remark is something that Higashino Tsukasa doesn't usually say.

So Ryoka Konoe thinks that Tsukasa Higashino is just playing treasure and wants to relax...

As she asked, Tsukasa Higashino on the other side shrugged.

"No, I don't. I'm telling the truth. ”

He didn't explain much about this, just left these two sentences, and turned to look up the situation in Aomori Prefecture.

Hearing Higashino's answer, Ryoka Konoe didn't continue to ask.

It's just that she looked at Higashino's serious appearance, but she seemed to understand something in her heart, and while her face showed a hehehe smirk, she reached out and gently touched Higashino's hair.

This made Higashino Tsukasa look back at Ryoka Konoe and motioned for her to stop.

It's just that what Higashino didn't expect was that Konoe Ryoka actually shook her head gently and continued to stroke Higashino Tsukasa's hair.

This is probably the first time, Konoe Ryoka doesn't listen to herself.

Just as Higashino Tsukasa was thinking, Konoe Ryoka's soft voice came from his ears:

"Thank you, Ace."

Tsukasa Higashino couldn't help but tilt his head.

Ryoka Konoe's big eyes were staring at him.

Perhaps because of the professional painter, Tsukasa Higashino captured the emotions of Ryoka Konoe at a glance.

Konoe Ryoka has always been timid, and for fear of doing something wrong, her eyes flashed with peace of mind for the first time.

This made Higashino turn his head and shake his head at the same time.

Never mind.

I usually touched her so many times, so it doesn't matter if I let her touch her head today.

......

In fact, it didn't take long to find places worth visiting in Aomori Prefecture, and it only took Tsukasa Higashino an hour to decide on a specific itinerary.

The itinerary is as simple as that.

Next, for Tsukasa Higashino, the most important thing is to convince Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara's parents to let them promise their daughter to travel with him.

This is undoubtedly a bit difficult.

After all, Tsukasa Higashino is the only boy in this small group, but he is the only boy who wants to travel with their daughter, who is only high school age... If this is in the Celestial Empire, there is a high probability that there is no hope.

But this is Japan, which is completely different from the Celestial Empire, and Tsukasa Higashino, who was already ready to wear out his mouth, found that Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara's parents didn't care at all, and even expressed the hope that Tsukasa Higashino could take good care of his daughter.

I have to say that different folk customs are different.

Although there is also a series of high-ranking bonuses from Tsukasa Higashino in Kitayojuku... But in the Celestial Empire, you want to just kidnap someone else's daughter... It's a little too difficult.

But it was enough to convince Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara's parents.

The next step is to prepare for Aomori Prefecture.
