Litter.

This is indeed an intuitive phenomenon at the first glance of Tsukasa Higashino.

It's not that he wants to belittle this group of high school girls, it's that what they draw is really not good.

Let's not talk about the somewhat ethereal topic of 'artistry'.

Many girls in the studio didn't even understand the most important 'primary and secondary relationship' in oil painting.

Western oil painting is mainly to train the observation ability to constantly clarify the relationship between primary and secondary.

The color has to be layered, the composition has to be layered, and then copy the plaster statue, this is the right way.

But these female high school students, the things they draw, round and round, flat and square, look at the past at a glance, and don't know what scenery they mainly want to paint... I don't even know what to prioritize.

These girls obviously look decent, how can they draw things that are not human and ghostly?

At this point, Higashino felt that there was nothing wrong with him holding his head up and saying, 'Everyone here is garbage.'

If you are engaged in creation, as long as your emotional intelligence is not too low, it is normal to be arrogant.

In the past, Higashino Division had a senior at the Academy of Fine Arts, who was very good at drawing, and he walked like a twenty-five or eighty-thousand, and everyone looked like they owed him one or two million.

However, he is good at oil painting, so even if he is so arrogant, he was only beaten with his head covered, and he couldn't get out of bed for half a month.

Tsukasa Higashino shook his head and buried the events of his past life back in his mind.

Now the key is to find an easel and a sketchpad that no one uses.

Where can I find it...?

Higashino looked at the girls in a circle, they were chatting now, and it was estimated that no one would pay attention to him even if he spoke.

Now it's going to be hard...

He can't just pick up a sketchpad or easel, right?

Tsukasa Higashino swept his eyes around, constantly observing his surroundings.

Now he really found a little girl who was huddled in the corner and buried herself in painting.

It was a girl with shoulder-length short hair, the ends of her hair were slightly curled towards her neck, the forehead was slanted to the right, jet black and soft, and the left strand of hair was pinned with a cross-shaped hairpin.

However, because the oblique bangs on her right side are too long, she lowers her head to cover half of her eyes, giving people a particularly gloomy, stage fright and afraid of people, but it just looks like she looks average and rustic.

She kept her head down and pursed her lips when she was painting, showing a sense of imminent order, as if she was trembling just sitting there.

Higashino stepped up and said, "Excuse me, excuse me." ”

"Huh?"

The girl raised her head in confusion, and only reacted after a long time, staring at Higashino Tsukasa with big eyes very timidly: "Yes, is there something wrong?" ”

"I'm a new member of the department, and I want to get a sketchpad and easel that no one uses, do you know which ones no one uses?"

"In the corner of the ministry... It works. ”

The short-haired girl lowered her head as she spoke, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Tsukasa Higashino.

"Thanks, what's your name?"

Tsukasa Higashino nodded, and then asked.

"Near, Konoe Lianghua."

"Oh, thank you, Konoe-san, my name is Tsukasa Higashino, and I'll give me more advice in the future."

Higashino thanked him, and then turned to get the sketchpad in the corner.

Seeing Higashino Tsukasa leaving, Ryoka Konoe teased her bangs and breathed a sigh of relief.

And then—

"Why are you here again?" Konoe Ryoka was dumbfounded, looking at Tsukasa Higashino who had gone and returned, and his soft voice was very subtle.

"I joined the ministry today, I didn't bring paper and canvas, Konoe-san, don't care about me, I'll just take a look."

Tsukasa Higashino placed the easel next to Ryoka Konoe and replied casually.

She is really a good place here, there are few people to put easels, and the place is also very spacious, so that it will not be impossible to perform.

But before he could continue, a rolled-up half-open piece of paper suddenly poked in the face.

Higashino Tsukasa was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Ryoka Konoe with his head down.

She half-hugged the paper and handed it to Tsukasa Higashino.

Tsukasa Higashino inexplicably accepted the drawing paper.

Then he felt the gaze of Ryoka Konoe from time to time.

After another moment.

Konoe Lianghua seemed to be a little unable to hold back, she whispered and said in a small voice: "Why, why don't you move away?" ”

This tone is more like a crying plea than a question.

"Huh? Why should I move out? ”

Tsukasa Higashino became more and more strange.

"Didn't you just ask me for paper?"

Ryoka Konoe's eyes widened, looking confused, and asked intermittently.

"I didn't ask."

Tsukasa Higashino probably understood.

This Konoe Ryoka thought that he leaned over on purpose and asked her to draw paper, and she thought that if she gave the drawing paper, Tsukasa Higashino would move away.

"But... But..."

Konoe Ryoka was a little incoherent, her palms raised and lowered, and finally she could only make a 'woo' sound.

Seeing her like this, Higashino Tsukasa was also a little funny, so he teased: "Besides, Konoe-san, it's useless to only draw paper, and I don't have paint." ”

"Ahh Is it? Konoe Lianghua raised her head stupidly, then stretched out her hand and contributed her paint box: "Please, please use it." ”

Then she also whispered and kindly reminded Higashino Division: "It's better to prepare the painters and tools yourself." ”

With that, she moved her easel to the side and distanced herself from Tsukasa Higashino.

Seeing this, Higashino Tsukasa simply moved the easel and moved it next to her.

This time, Konoe Lianghua was stunned.

She'd never been to anything like it.

Ryoka Konoe glanced at Tsukasa Higashino in a panic, and moved her easel to the side again.

Tsukasa Higashino found it interesting, and moved closer again.

In the end, Ryoka Konoe enters a corner where there is no way back.

She had no choice but to turn her head, her head lowered, her voice trembling, with a little crying-

"Y-Don't bully me, okay?"

Ryoka Konoe looked down at her toes, not knowing what she had done wrong, why did this Higashino-san bully herself as soon as she came over.

"I have no intention of bullying you."

Higashino Tsukasa is a little funny, this girl is really a treasure girl.

So he thought for a moment and said:

"It's just that when I look at Konoe-san, I remember what happened in the old country."

"What happened in the country before...?"

Ryoka Konoe was stunned.

"yes. There was a girl at that time—"

Seeing that she was interested, Higashino continued.

This is actually the story of Tsukasa Higashino when he was in the Celestial Empire.

There is a girl who is inserted into the studio halfway, and a girl who has no foundation at all likes to annoy Higashino Tsukasa and let him teach him by hand.

This made Higashino Tsukasa can't draw well by himself, Higashino Tsukasa scolded her for being stupid, and she still smiled, looking unconcerned.

Later, Higashino Tsukasa entered the Academy of Fine Arts and found a girlfriend who was particularly good at drawing, and the girl who followed Higashino Tsukasa and finally entered the Academy of Fine Arts suddenly cried.

At that time, it dawned on Tsukasa Higashino that some people, some feelings are actually the same as painting, and they need to be figured out.

What impressed him the most was what the treasure girl said crying-

"Aren't you just good-looking, you can draw a little, what's the big deal?"

"Later, what about later?"

Ryoka Konoe was a little curious.

Although I don't know how Higashino draws, he does look good.

"Later?" Higashino Tsukasa couldn't finish his words: "Later, there will be no later, I made it up." ”

"Huh?"

Ryoka Konoe froze.

Can it still be like this?
