Chapter 219. Bitter Sweetness (8000 words)

Higashino didn't want to kill himself - the misunderstanding was resolved, and it could be regarded as a happy ending.

But...

Tsukasa Higashino noticed Chihaya's abnormality.

She kept staring at Jian Pu as if she had fallen into an evil spirit.

This made Higashino Tsukasa a little surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help but pull Higashino Chihaya's palm forward: "Sister Chizama? ”

"Ass..." Higashino Chihaya raised his head and called Higashino Tsukasa.

But this time it wasn't a little silly like usual, but the kind of voice with a particularly complicated mood.

This is the first time in a year that Tsukasa Higashino has heard such complex emotions in Higashino's voice.

Tsukasa Higashino, who has always been in a calm mood, rarely fluctuated.

He would take Higashino Chihaya to the hospital for a routine check-up every month, and he knew that Higashino Chihaya's condition was indeed improving.

But as expressed today, the mood changes so clearly... Tsukasa Higashino is indeed the first time I've seen it.

Even Ryoka Konoe and Yumi Takahashi were shocked.

Chihaya Higashino is the kind of innocent feeling that is a little childish at any time, what is the sense of maturity just now?

They don't understand.

But then... They saw Higashino Chihaya's body fall backwards - fortunately, Higashino Tsukasa was quick and caught the other party, otherwise the back of Higashino's head might have made intimate contact with the ground.

"Mr. Higashino, what's wrong with Sister Chihaya?" Yumi Takahashi opened her mouth, finally came to her senses, and approached to ask Tsukasa Higashino.

"It looks like he's in a coma..."Looking at Chihaya Higashino's eyes closed and his eyebrows furrowed, Higashino Tsukasa shook his head and took out his mobile phone without hesitation to call the hospital.

In any case, it is better to go to the hospital first for this emergency.

It wasn't a long way from Higashino's house to the hospital, and Higashino Tsukasa quickly sent Higashino Chihaya for a check-up, and at the same time met with Higashino's attending physician, Asuka Koizumi, and answered her a few questions.

In the end, according to Asuka Koizumi's thinking and summary, I feel that the brief score of "Lemon" written by Tsukasa Higashino has had a certain impact on Chihaya Higashino's self-awareness.

The results of the examination also came out, and there was no problem with Higashino Chihaya's body, and when she woke up, she would check her mental state, and if there was no problem, she could take some mentally stable drugs and continue to take her back to recuperate.

Tsukasa Higashino agreed.

But the simple score has an impact on the spirit of Higashino Chihaya... This is something that Higashino did not expect.

Although he found Chihaya Higashino's recorder and the song sheet he wrote in the small storage room at home before... But he never thought about the mental state of Chihaya Higashino.

Asuka Koizumi also explained this.

A patient with self-cognitive impairment like Chihaya Higashino, some trivial and subtle, may evoke memories of Chihaya Higashino's past - after all, no one can say for sure about mental psychology.

Tsukasa Higashino groaned, feeling that it was indeed as Asuka Koizumi said.

"Lemon" is a song that expresses sadness and life and death emotions, and its lyrics and melody may have touched Chihaya Higashino, plus a song score that has not been seen for a long time... This made her feel like she had been struck by lightning, and she seemed to remember something.

But whether it causes a touch or not... Tsukasa Higashino just wants to know if something will go wrong with Chihaya Higashino...

Don't make the mental damage deepen...

He waited in Asuka Koizumi's office like this, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara waited until almost eight o'clock before they were driven back by Tsukasa Higashino, although they still wanted to continue to guard Chihaya Higashino, but Tsukasa Higashino did not allow it.

After all, both of them are girls, and going home too late is not to mention that the family is worried, but more often it is very unsafe to go home at night... Some Japanese idiots are happy to do something to pink female high school students like them.

Just let them go back like this, and Tsukasa Higashino and Ryoka Konoe continued to wait.

Konoe Ryoka, this little girl, Higashino Tsukasa can't rush back, she is as strong as a donkey, she said that she just wants to wait for Higashino Chihaya to wake up, and then go home with Higashino Tsukasa and them.

There is some truth to that.

Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara are walking together, and Tsukasa Higashino can't let Ryoka Konoe go back alone, right?

It's also too unsafe.

So the two of them kept waiting.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and Chihaya Higashino finally woke up from a coma.

Fortunately, there were no problems with the follow-up examination.

Chihaya Higashino's body is healthy, but at the same time... She was still the same as before, and she didn't seem to be going to recover.

This reassured Higashino and at the same time felt a little disappointed.

Although no matter what happens to Higashino Chihaya, Higashino Tsukasa will not let her go, but compared to Higashino Chihaya who is stupid and stupid, Higashino Tsukasa also feels that it is better for the other party to come to his senses as soon as possible.

After all, human youth is precious.

Higashino Chihaya is not like Tsukasa Higashino, she is a time-traveler who traveled from the Celestial Empire... At her age, she naturally still has to study and go to college.

Tsukasa Higashino can't really raise Higashino Chihaya into a salted egg, right?

However, before leaving, the attending physician Asuka Koizumi also told Tsukasa Higashino about the results of the examination, and said: "Miss Higashino's condition has improved significantly, and the stimulation caused by the brief score may be the beginning of her regaining her self-knowledge... That's actually a good sign, Mr. Higashino. ”

Finding the beginning of self-knowledge...

Tsukasa Higashino gently touched the head of Chihaya Higashino, who looked confused beside him.

Higashino Chihaya was indeed confused.

She remembered that she was playing Pac-Man, and then she fell asleep, and then it was as if she had a dream, in which she had another self living with Ace... That self made her feel a little strange, a little scary to look at, and Ace didn't feel like the previous Ace... This made her even more confused.

She didn't know why she had this dream, but when she woke up, she found herself on top of the hospital bed, and she was quite panicked for a while.

But now I'm holding on to Asi...

Then you should be fine!

Merely... Why is Ace's expression so complicated? Looking at Higashino Tsukasa frowning and thinking, Higashino Chihaya couldn't help but reach out and touch his eyebrows, half-tilting his head: "Ace... Are you hungry? ”

She spoke in a quiet voice, but her expression was serious.

After saying this, she touched her pocket again, and took out a pack of plastic-wrapped bear biscuits from it: "Asa As, this is for you to eat, don't be angry, okay?" ”

The way she was holding the biscuit looked very distressing.

Higashino didn't pick up Higashino Chihaya's biscuits, but just asked with a smile: "Isn't this your favorite biscuit, Sister Chihaya?" ”

This bear biscuit is Higashino Chihaya's favorite snack, and Higashino bought a lot of it at home.

"Because it's my favorite, that's why I give it to As... And Lianghua, wait a minute... I'll open it for you. ”

Higashino Chihaya held back her strength for a while, and finally tore open the plastic packaging, and then she spread out the plastic opening, and looked at Higashino Tsukasa and Konoe Lianghua with a smile, waiting for them to take the biscuits to eat.

Tsukasa Higashino reached out and took a cookie and put it in his mouth.

"Isn't it delicious? As? ”

"Hmm... It's not tasty. Leave it to Chihaya to eat. Higashino just chewed twice, then laughed twice, and touched Higashino Chihaya's head: "It's too bitter." ”

"Bitter?" Higashino Chihaya couldn't understand Higashino Tsukasa's taste buds, she took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and the creamy fragrance made her squint her eyes with happiness: "Ace, you're so strange, it's so sweet." ”

Higashino just squinted his eyes and smiled, laughing like a fox.

The eyes of the guard next to her were red, she didn't say anything, she learned the movements of Tsukasa Higashino, and also pinched a biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth.

She didn't say what she thought.

It's just that... How to say it.

Ryoka Konoe really thinks that this cookie seems to be similar to what Tsukasa Higashino said... It's bitter.

The delicate creamy sweetness is inexplicably bitter when it enters the mouth.

Bitter sweetness... It really exists, huh?

Listening to Chihaya Higashino asking her if she still wants to eat... Ryoka Konoe also followed the example of Tsukasa Higashino, just squinting her eyes and smiling and shaking her head.

Because it feels like if you don't squint...

Tears seemed to be pulled out by the bitter smell of milk.

......

Chihaya Higashino has signs of imminent healing.

It's just a symptom, but it's a good thing.

According to the character of Tsukasa Higashino, it should have been celebrated.

But for some reason, Higashino didn't have any thoughts in his heart about celebrating.

Even if you want to celebrate, you have to wait for Higashino Chihaya to really recover, and then hold a real celebration party.

Putting aside the matter on Chihaya Higashino's side for the time being, Tsukasa Higashino turned his attention to "Lemon".

This song is just a lyric song, and the song has caused a certain touch and impact on Higashino Chihaya.

If only it could be really sung by a singer... What will be the result?

To be honest, Tsukasa Higashino actually has some expectations.

If there is such an opportunity... Then it's good to find a singer to sing this song.

But since you want to find it, of course, you must also find high-quality singers, and you can't let some singers with average singing skills ruin this "Lemon", right?

Of course, Tsukasa Higashino also thought about keeping this song for himself.

The voice of the original owner is good, clear and transparent, and it really feels like a low-profile version of Yonezu Genshi.

But in his previous life, Tsukasa Higashino had only a taste of music - he knew how to read music, he knew how to sing, and he even played a little guitar, but he was basically not very proficient.

Compared with professional singers, the gap is not a star and a half.

Unless at this time, the system suddenly sends him a singer's golden song gift package, so that he suddenly becomes omniscient and omnipotent... Otherwise, I can only think about this kind of thing in my dreams when I sing "Lemon".

I can't sing it... How about having my sister Chihaya Higashino sing this song?

Just thinking about it for a moment feels unlikely.

Higashino Chihaya is sick, not to mention whether she can sing or not, even if she can really sing, it is impossible for Higashino to let her sister, who has mental problems, show her head outside...

Have you ever seen a family member push their mentally challenged blood relatives outside to help the platform?

This is obviously impossible.

At least not in the case of Tsukasa Higashino.

If Higashino Chihaya really wants to sing, when she recovers from her illness, Higashino Tsukasa can take out many golden songs from her previous life and let her sing them happily, even if the lyrics and songs are marked as her creation, Higashino Tsukasa will not feel that there is anything inappropriate.

And Higashino's reaction before seemed to be simply touching the song "Lemon"... Didn't show any intention of wanting to sing the song...

So Tsukasa Higashino put aside the option to give Higashino Chihaya to sing this song for the time being, and at the same time took the computer on the side, and his eyes quickly swept.

He was going to listen to the songs on the charts and then think about commenting on them.

Higashino Tsukasa listened to the songs on the distribution list one by one, and muttered for a long time, and then couldn't help but shake his head.

To talk about feelings... He felt that the Oura Yukie mentioned by Yumi Takahashi earlier was the most suitable person for comparison.

Her songs are that SOLO style, and her singing skills are very strong, which is not much different from Yonezu Genshi...

But to be honest, her shortcomings are also obvious.

Her voice is mainly soft and soft, and singing those love songs is quite tasteful.

In her, Higashino Tsukasa couldn't feel the kind of clarity and clarity that he had found in Yonezu Genshi in his previous life.

When singing "Lemon", Yonezu Genshi's clear and thorough male voice is high, but it carries an indescribable sense of sorrow... It's obviously a fresh singing voice but can suppress the mood of others, just like the title "Lemon", fresh but bitter.

But Higashino shook his head just after thinking about it.

Anyway, the candidate for Oura Yukie is indeed not bad, and the talent of Yonezu Genshi is not available everywhere.

In addition, Higashino Tsukasa has also listened to one or two of her songs, maybe she can bring other surprises?

You have to meet Oura Yukie himself before you draw conclusions, right?

Tsukasa Higashino thought about it repeatedly, and finally decided to contact Koharu Hosokawa.

In Japan, the status of publishing houses is still very high, and there are a variety of connections involved.

Especially for a large publishing house like Urashima Publishing House, it is absolutely fine to contact Oura Yukie.

If there is a Urashima Publishing House to help pull the line, see Oura Yukie, and even pay her to sing a song... Probably not that is a difficult task.

Thinking so, Tsukasa Higashino took out his phone and called Hosokawa Koharu.

The call only took a few seconds to connect.

The speed with which the phone was connected was enough to show how much Hosokawa Koharu attached importance to Tsukasa Higashino.

After a whileβ€”

"What? Higashino-sensei, did you write a song? Would you like me to help you contact Oura Yukie...? ”

Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

This time she made a fuss, no one would say her, right?

Because what Higashino Tsukasa did this time was inevitably too much... It's incredible.

Yes.

Hosokawa Koharu can only use 'unbelievable' to describe what Tsukasa Higashino does.

Have you ever seen a weekly manga writer who was nervous about preparing a comic book with a dissatisfied face, and instead made time to write a song and compose a song?

At least Hosokawa Koharu hadn't seen it at all.

The most important thing is... It's completely interdisciplinary.

You said you could paint oil.

That Hosokawa Koharu nodded, it could be believed.

You said you would graphic design Kumamon.

Hosokawa Koharu also said that he could understand.

But you suddenly jumped from painting to music...

Then she can only say one thing-

"Something isn't quite right with you... Higashino-sensei..."
