Tsukasa Higashino didn't think that one day he would be treated like a star.

After all, the comic book writer industry is not like singers or actors, who can often show their faces on TV... To put it in layman's terms, fans value your comics and basically don't pay much attention to you as an author.

But Higashino Tsukasa thought about it a little more, and felt that it was normal for him to have such a reputation in Kita-Yoshijuku.

After all, he was born in the school of Kitagijuku, and coupled with the hype of the school and the discussion with many students, his name naturally spread all over the Hokugijuku.

Merely...

This spread a little too widely, and although it hadn't reached the point where many miles were talking about chasing and intercepting, Higashino just came to school, and along the way, many junior students recognized him and asked if he could sign them.

Higashino basically smiled and nodded in agreement, but it was still a lot of time delayed because of this matter.

Higashino Sili landed on the autograph book handed over by the little girl in front of him and signed his name, and was going to leave like this, but he was stopped and asked if he could add a sentence of 'for Toyoko Yasunaga'.

This made Higashino Tsukasa couldn't help but look at her twice... Could this girl be an old fan of herself?

After satisfying the other party's request, Higashino Tsukasa walked all the way back to his classroom, barely sitting down before the first class began.

Tsukasa Higashino ignored the curious glances that looked around him from time to time, and at the same time he sank down and thought.

This time I re-brushed my face in the class.,Next, I'll go to see Ryoko Okano and Takashi Yoshimine.,This trip to the North Yoshijuku face brush is a success.。

He made up his mind, and then he regained his mind and began to think about the follow-up to "Unnatural Death" and "Winner is Justice".

This sat straight to noon.

After turning down a few bold girls who came over and wanted to invite him to dinner, Higashino stood up and walked decisively towards the faculty office - he walked very fast, and he felt that if he walked slower, maybe a girl in the crowd of students would suddenly shout, "Can you have a relationship with me?" Higashino-san. ’

It's just that what Higashino didn't expect was that when he went to the office to brush his face with Ryoko Okano, some students simply spread the news that Higashino Tsukasa was at school.

This is an indescribable strange thing in the boring study life, both boys and girls are interested, and many people are directly curious to stand outside the faculty office and look inside--I really feel like a Japanese person looking at a giant panda.

This made Tsukasa Higashino, who was chatting with Ryoko Okano, look at them a few more times, and felt that this was too exaggerated.

As if sensing Tsukasa Higashino's thoughts, Ryoko Okano was squinting at Tsukasa Higashino happily next to him: "Actually, this is not an exaggeration at all, Higashino-san, a new student enrolled this year... Not to mention that all of them are interested in you, but it is estimated that half of them applied for Hokugijuku High School after hearing your name. ”

Ryoko Okano took a cup of tea and continued; "Mr. Higashino, you also know Principal Yoshimine... He has always wanted to make you a signboard of Hokugijuku, and he has also adopted a lot of publicity methods. ”

"I see."

As soon as Ryoko Okano said this, Higashino suddenly realized.

Indeed... Ryuichi Yoshimine is such a person.

In the past, when Higashino Tsukasa was in school, he liked to hang the huge vertical banner of the brush on the school building at every turn, and what 'warmly celebrate the school's student Higashino Tsukasa won XXX honors in the XXX competition...'It is estimated that the other party also took into account the issue of portrait rights, otherwise he might have to use Higashino Tsukasa's face as a poster photo for the promotion of the North Yoshijuku School Office.

In this constant situation, it is normal for these junior students to be interested in themselves.

Seeing that Higashino Tsukasa thought slightly, Ryoko Okano also continued to smile: "Similarly, thanks to Higashino-san, even the funds of our Kitayojuku studio have increased a lot, and the original studio site has also been expanded... By the way, Higashino-san, your painting tools have been kept by Konoe-san. After all, she has the best relationship with you. ”

"At most, I've just helped a little bit, and the studio itself is already thriving."

Tsukasa Higashino smiled, not taking all the credit.

At best, it helped a little bit...

Ryoko Okano was a little amused, and when Tsukasa Higashino directly won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award, it caused a sensation within the school, which was certainly not 'a little busy' as Higashino Tsukasa said.

However, she didn't continue to talk about this topic, after all, she herself was taken care of by a lot of people from Tsukasa Higashino - the school gave her a bonus to encourage her, the 'Tsukasa Higashino' excavator, to continue to dig up students like Tsukasa Higashino.

It's a 'Schrödinger's cat'-like puzzle, how can she unearth any Higashino Division? At the beginning, Tsukasa Higashino was still a person who was shoehorned in by Takuichi Yoshimine, and the most important thing is that if a talent like Tsukasa Higashino can be discovered casually... That day was too worthless.

Higashino Tsukasa chatted with Ryoko Okano for nearly half an hour before he got up and walked to the principal's office, ready to say hello to Ryuichi Yoshimine.

This time I went to find Ryuichi Yoshimine, mainly hoping that he could turn a blind eye to his academic performance in the North School or his absences from class, after all, it is estimated that Higashino Tsukasa will be absent from class for a long time in the next half a year, so it is better to respect the other party and say hello.

Ryuichi Yoshimine is worthy of being the principal of Kita-Yoshijuku, and he is indeed a good person, and his attitude has not changed before and after because of the fame of Tsukasa Higashino, and he still has that kind face: "Higashino-san, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

This is actually a small temptation, after all, Higashino Tsukasa hasn't returned to school for so long, and he doesn't even care about the things in school, which makes Yoshimine Ryuichi also have a lot of sense of crisis.

After all, it's Kitayojuku who needs Tsukasa Higashino now, and the little favor he gave to Tsukasa Higashino before is nothing at all... So he had to ask a small question.

Higashino naturally understood the meaning of Yoshimine Takaichi's words, but the other party's attitude was very good, and he was always smiling, so he naturally wouldn't: "It's been a long time, Principal Yoshimine, and I want you to take care of me in the future." ”

After hearing this sentence, "I will ask you to take care of me in the future", Ryuichi Yoshimine's smiling face undoubtedly showed even more.

He laughed and waved his hand: "Take care of each other, an excellent student like Higashino-san doesn't need to be polite to me." ”

Of course, this old man understood the meaning of Higashino's words, and also said vaguely, "No problem, you go and get busy with your business, it's better to get some more prizes back, and the North Yoshijuku will find a way to do these things during class." ’

Higashino Tsukasa chatted with Ryuichi Yoshimine for a while, and then he solved all the goals he wanted to achieve today.

There's still an afternoon left.,Just hang around.,And then go home with Konoe Ryoka.,Today's day is over.。

Thinking about it, Higashino nodded and walked towards his class.

And on the back of the teaching building, which is almost more than 100 meters away from Tsukasa Higashino, Ryoka Konoe looked at Madoka Fukushima, the senior senior sister in front of him who bowed to him, with a stunned face-

"I'm so sorry! Konoe-san! Could you please give me a chance to confess to Higashino-san? ”

This Fukushima Madoka participated in the award ceremony of the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards with Tsukasa Higashino last year, and won the bronze award, and is also a senior of the Kita Yoshijuku Studio that Ryoka Konoe respects very much.

But... The predecessors of the studio... You want to rob your boyfriend?

It may not be appropriate to say 'rob'... But the other party really wanted her to quit when he said this, right? It's really no different from 'grabbing'.

This shocking fact made Ryoka Konoe not react for a long time, because she knew that Fukushima Madoka had been taken care of by Tsukasa Higashino at the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, but she didn't know that Madoka Fukushima liked Tsukasa Higashino...

It wasn't until Aoi Fujiwara and Yumi Takahashi pulled Ryoka Konoe's cuffs that she reacted: "Fukushima-senpai, you used to like As... Higashino-kun? ”

“... It can only be said that it is unrequited love. When I was a young man, Higashino-san took care of me a lot. As soon as I said this, Madoka Fukushima felt an indescribable sense of regret and helplessness.

It's really helpless.

She originally wanted to confess to Tsukasa Higashino after the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, but she noticed that Tsukasa Higashino took care of Ryoka Konoe.

So Fukushima Madoka thought about it seriously and hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to rush forward and confess - even if it fails, it's no problem, this is youth.

But there is a saying that if you hesitate, you will lose.

Tsukasa Higashino went to school less and less, and in the end, he didn't come to school at all.

This made Madoka Fukushima, who was going to confess, completely dumbfounded, Tsukasa Higashino didn't come to class, where did she go to confess?

- You must know that she is only this year, and she will graduate in the next year, is it possible that this will leave the regret of unrequited love in this adolescence?

His youth was about to die before it began.

This made Madoka Fukushima unacceptable for a while.

But today, Fukushima Madoka learned from a few studio friends that Tsukasa Higashino had finally returned to study at Kita-Yoshijuku.

This made her unable to sit still anymore, so she had the idea of stopping Ryoka Konoe.

And to be honest, in Madoka Fukushima's impression, Konoe Ryoka is a gloomy and silent art student who always keeps her head down and shrinks into the corner to draw.

Even if Ryoka Konoe was revealed to be a little bigger in the future, her face is a little better... But that still doesn't change her dull, low-voiced personality that doesn't dare to rebel against others.

It is estimated that as long as his senior sister and predecessor use a little force and have a sense of oppression, Konoe Lianghua will nod and give way as usual when he was in the studio.

"Konoe-san, can you grant my request?" Seeing that Ryoka Konoe didn't react, Fukushima Madoka took two steps closer and asked.

But before Konoe Ryoka could speak, Yumi Takahashi next to her couldn't help but stand up, she glared at Madoka Fukushima viciously with her big eyes, straightened her chest, and was not afraid of this senior sister at all.

What are you going to do? Tough on people?

She wouldn't allow that.

Yumi Takahashi said with a heartfelt voice: "This senior sister, you probably can't do it, Mr. Higashino won't like you." ”

Well?

Halfway through, he suddenly made a trip to bite the gold, and he was also determined that Higashino Tsukasa would not like him...

This made Fukushima Madoka couldn't help but frown: "This classmate... On what basis do you say this? ”

"Because Mr. Higashino likes girls with big breasts the most, your boobs are not big, and you don't look beautiful, Mr. Higashino won't like you."

Fukushima couldn't say a word for a long time, because she also knew that her appearance and figure were indeed inferior to Ryoka Konoe.

But people can't just look at their looks!

Although her appearance is not as good as Konoe Ryoka, her personality is okay, and she belongs to the lively type that many adolescent boys like - you can't be so perfunctory for boys, just look at other people's faces, right?

It's just that Fukushima Madoka herself didn't have the confidence to say this, and she hesitated and said, "You can't say that... Higashino-san shouldn't be that kind of person... And I'm not telling you, I'm discussing with Konoe-san, don't interject. ”

"Lianghua and I are brothers." Yumi Takahashi patted her chest: "What's hers is mine, mine is hers, I also have a share in her boyfriend, I often eat and drink in her boyfriend's house, if Mr. Higashino is really abducted by you, how can I eat and drink?" ”

“？？？” Fukushima Madoka was stunned by Yumi Takahashi's combination punches, especially Yumi Takahashi was very confident when she spoke - although what she said was bullshit and unreasonable, she was very confident anyway, revealing a sense of certainty that I had already eaten you.

This confuses the originally organized language of Madoka Fukushima.

"......" Aoi Fujiwara.

Listening to Yumi Takahashi's words of robber logic, Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but cover her forehead, and then she took two steps back, wanting to call Tsukasa Higashino.

She had been listening to it for a long time, and she could be considered to have heard it.

Fukushima Madoka just wants to rob Higashino Division, since this way the bell still has to be tied to the bell, it is better to call Higashino Tsukasa over and talk to the other party in person.

After all, Konoe Ryoka's soft temperament definitely can't handle this kind of thing.

Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara also know the nature of their own sworn friends, they have known Konoe Ryoka since the first grade, as long as others have a request, Konoe Ryoka can't pop out of his mouth with a 'no'.

This kind of character is the kind of character who doesn't know how to reject others.

Yumi Takahashi used to joke that if she heard Ryoka Konoe reject someone else, it was estimated that tomorrow would be the end of the world.

Aoi Fujiwara thought, and turned to Tsukasa Higashino's phone number.

Konoe Ryoka, who had been silent, suddenly made a voice: "Fukushima-senpai, I can't agree to your request, I'm sorry. ”

This sudden voice made Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara look at each other.

No way?

Did Ryoka Konoe reject someone else?

Tomorrow is the end of the world?
