Konoe Ryoka walked forward with her bag, and finally came to the side of Higashino Tsukasa, and immediately poked a pancake in her face.

"Oh, I'll give you food, I've worked hard today, Konoe-san."

Tsukasa Higashino smiled and gave Ryoka Konoe a strawberry-flavored pancake.

"Oh... Oh..."Ryoka Konoe, who was suddenly attacked by Tsukasa Higashino, subconsciously responded and took the pancake.

Then she raised her head in a state of apprehension: "I, I'll give you money later, Dongye-san." ”

"No, it's just a pancake."

Tsukasa Higashino waved his hand.

He can still afford a 150-yen pancake.

The two of them found a bench and sat down.

Konoe Ryoka watched Tsukasa Higashino bite into the pancake while looking around from time to time, and finally asked with some curiosity:

"What are you looking at? Higashino-san? ”

"Me? I'm looking at the paintings. Tsukasa Higashino put down the pancake and pointed ahead: "Look over there." ”

Ryoka Konoe turned her head.

The next moment, her gaze froze.

The slowly sinking sunset is like an orange-red glow dissolved in water. The delicate brilliance that is not dazzling and penetrates the fine dust in the air, creating a Tyndall effect.

The brilliance is like reflection and trembling on the surface of the sea.

Yes, the city of Tokyo is shining in cool colors at sunset.

Under the cold color pressure of the building, which is completely different from the warm color above, the natural color and modern creation are perfectly integrated, and the cold and warm are self-consistent.

Tsukasa Higashino is indeed looking at the painting...

Ryoka Konoe finally understood what Higashino Tsukasa just said, 'I'm looking at paintings'.

This is a magnificent oil painting of Tokyo, with rapid brushstrokes and light projections, and the appropriate ratio of color and shade.

"This is the Tokyo I want to paint."

Tsukasa Higashino's index finger and thumb are overlapped to make a square frame.

Relaxed, soothing, crepe vendors in the distance, Tokyo steel forest in the distance, sunset in the distance...

The breeze blows, as if time has stood still.

Tsukasa Higashino was satisfied.

He ended his work early this time just to collect materials outside.

And he did get a good view.

Reminiscing about the scene just now, Higashino felt that his hands were itchy, and he felt like he had scratched something.

"Don't talk about this, what's going on over there? Are you done? Tsukasa Higashino looked sideways at Ryoka Konoe.

This little girl painted him, of course he had to ask a few questions.

“... The painting is finished. ”

Ryoka Konoe nodded subconsciously, but soon her face turned red.

Because she remembered.

She painted Tsukasa Higashino so beautifully.

That painting is probably the most beautiful gouache painting she painted.

On the one hand, Higashino Tsukasa has a good foundation, and on the other hand, Higashino Tsukasa has been teaching her in the past few days, even if she is stupid, she has improved a lot.

"Really?" Tsukasa Higashino didn't say anything after asking, he took a bite of the pancake and swept around again.

Looking at Tsukasa Higashino, Ryoka Konoe thought of the discussion between Fukushima-senpai and the other studio students just now.

"Higashino-san, that... How is your sister doing? ”

She subconsciously said that she leaked her mouth, and although she quickly covered her mouth, she still said all the words.

So Konoe Ryoka hurriedly stood up:

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Higashino-san! I didn't mean to say that..."

She apologized while secretly looking at Tsukasa Higashino's expression.

Tsukasa Higashino's delicate and good-looking face also seemed a little surprised, but he quickly smiled with relief.

"Sister Chihaya is like that. She's just like you, and she likes crepes. Where did you hear this? ”

Although she didn't get along with Ryoka Konoe for two days, Tsukasa Higashino also knew that she didn't have much interest in rumors.

"Just now, there was a senior sister in the studio who said..."Ryoka Konoe clenched the pancake tightly, worried that Tsukasa Higashino would be angry.

After all, revealing people is not short.

But what Ryoka Konoe didn't expect was that Tsukasa Higashino just responded to this, 'Really?' As if he had lost interest, he didn't follow up.

There was no rage as Ryoka Konoe imagined, nor did she show a look of resentment.

He was still looking at the scenery ahead.

This silence made Ryoka Konoe panic a little.

She thinks that it may be that Higashino Tsukasa is not a person who is good at expressing himself, and now Higashino Tsukasa is estimated to be uncomfortable.

But he is not from Higashino Division, and he doesn't know how to comfort him in this situation, so he can only keep his head down and sit next to him.

After sitting like this for half an hour, Higashino turned his head a little strangely:

"What are you doing?"

Why does this little girl sit next to her all the time? Don't leave when you're done eating?

"Huh?"

Konoe Ryoka didn't expect such words to suddenly come out of Higashino's mouth, so she opened her mouth dryly:

"I, I... Don't think about it, Higashino-san. ”

Konoe Ryoka 'me' for a long time, and finally said a very clumsy word to comfort Higashino Division.

"What can't I think of?" Tsukasa Higashino asked rhetorically.

"It's just... Senior sister, they are discussing your affairs behind their backs... Don't be angry. ”

Hi - Tsukasa Higashino thought it was a big deal.

To be honest, he didn't care about that at all.

You can't say you don't care, but what's the use of caring? Can't he rush into the studio with a knife to do a double kill, a triple kill, a big kill, a special kill, right?

However, looking at Konoe Lianghua's goose-like expression, he couldn't help but tease:

"Yes, I'm in a bad mood right now, and if you give me your German painting tools, I won't be angry."

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, Konoe Ryoka looked embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Higashino Tsukasa pretended to be on the floor: "Sure enough, I'm still reluctant, so you still persuade me not to be angry?" ”

"No, no." Konoe Lianghua's little hands clenched, and she lowered her head aggrievedly, and then whispered, "Can you wait for me?" ”

Well?

Higashino didn't figure out what this sentence meant for a while, and then he saw Ryoka Konoe with her head down and hurriedly walking forward, like a little ostrich who didn't even look at the road.

Her bag was left next to Tsukasa Higashino and was not taken with her.

After a while, Ryoka Konoe returned.

This time, she was holding a large pile of things, her face flushed, and she gasped quietly.

It's not shy, it's tired.

A brand new painting box, row brushes, board brushes, and a set of unopened painting tools.

Tsukasa Higashino could tell at a glance that it was the same style as the brush she used.

“... Have you gone to buy painting tools? ”

"Hmm." Konoe Ryoka gently wiped her sweat, nodded, and said to him with some hesitation and crampedness: "I, my painting tools are in the studio..."

"So you bought me a new one?"

"Hmm."

Konoe Ryoka replied softly.

Okay... This girl...

Higashino rubbed his temples and opened his mouth before asking:

"How much?"

"Huh?"

"I ask you how much!"

Tsukasa Higashino's voice was a little angry.

Is... flirting with others all day long, but I didn't expect to be pecked out today.

Who knew that this 'fool' actually bought a whole set of painting tools because of his words?
