"It turned out to be you..."Higashino Chihaya looked at Konoe Lianghua's red lips and white teeth, and her cute appearance, and nodded with satisfaction.

She was still relatively relieved of Higashino's gaze.

You see, this Konoe Ryoka has a soft personality, and she is indeed a good candidate for a girlfriend.

If Yumi Takahashi is regarded as his girlfriend, maybe her sister will be beaten by the other party.

And looking at the other party's energetic appearance, his little arms and legs may not be able to beat her.

So Konoe Ryoka is definitely excellent.

Thinking so, Higashino Chihaya just wanted to speak-

"I brought the tea, and there are snacks, don't dislike it, please use it."

Tsukasa Higashino came out of the kitchen and said hello.

Listening to the voice of Tsukasa Higashino, Chihaya Higashino suddenly shut up and stopped talking.

She knows her brother's temper very well, and if she says that Ryoka Konoe is his girlfriend, Higashino Tsukasa will definitely smile and perfunctory, and she won't admit it.

So she chose not to speak.

Seeing that Konoe Ryoka and Higashino Chihaya got along well, Higashino Tsukasa thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, I want to buy some ingredients next, so I'll invite you to stay and eat today." ”

"What's so embarrassing..."Aoi Fujiwara stood up and wanted to refuse.

She originally wanted to create an opportunity for Ryoka Konoe and Tsukasa Higashino, but if she still bothered Tsukasa Higashino to cook... That's too much.

But Yumi Takahashi next to him is also a daily mutiny, with an excited face; "Then can I go to Higashino-sensei's room and have a look? I would like to see the environment in which manga writers work. ”

"Yes."

Tsukasa Higashino did not refuse.

Anyway, he didn't hide anything unsightly in his room.

"There is also a cassette game console and a controller behind the TV, you can use it as you like if you want to play, and I put a few cushions in the cabinet next to it, don't sit on the ground."

Higashino Tsukasa added again, and then walked to the entrance: "Then I'll go out and come back soon." ”

His voice quickly faded away, apparently out of the house to buy the ingredients he needed for the afternoon.

Of course, Yumi Takahashi in the room will not be idle, and she excitedly begged Higashino Chihaya to take her to Higashino Tsukasa's room.

Aoi Fujiwara and Ryoka Konoe behind him didn't speak, because the two of them were actually very interested.

Especially Konoe Ryoka, her eyes secretly glanced over there, her face was red, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

They were soon led to the door by Chihaya Higashino, which was ajar and could be pushed open with a nudge.

Yumi Takahashi was the first to enter the room amid Aoi Fujiwara's voice of 'Don't mess up other people's rooms', and then—

She let out a disappointed voice, "Higashino-sensei's room feels similar to an ordinary boy's room." ”

Yes.

The room in front of me felt like a normal boy's room.

If I had to find a difference, it was that Tsukasa Higashino's room was very simple and simple.

Benches, work desks, single beds against the wall, windows next to the wall, and a laptop on the desk on the left.

Other than that, there is no furniture.

It was very clean, showing the good hygiene habits of the owner of the room.

It doesn't have the kind of manga manuscripts that Takahashi imagined, the futon is scattered, and the smell of ink smells in the air.

Yumi Takahashi's only interest was the workbench, and as she approached the workbench, she just wanted to take a look at what was on it—

Syllable.

"What is this?"

Yumi Takahashi tripped over something and stumbled forward, and then she looked at her feet in confusion.

It looked like a corrugated cardboard box, stuffed with paper, and it looked heavy.

"Hey, that's almost... Belch? Fujiwara Aoi tried to stop Yumi Takahashi's movements in the back, and then she saw the contents of the cardboard box.

She opened her mouth wide in surprise, and she couldn't say a word for a while.

Yes.

Can't say anything at all.

In this cardboard box next to Tsukasa Higashino's workbench, it is clear that there is a whole box of manuscripts that have been shot by Tsukasa Higashino.

The reasons are all written above.

What storyboard is not satisfied, the plot progresses too fast...

Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons.

Looking at this whole box of manuscripts, I have always felt that Tsukasa Higashino is really a genius, and Ryoka Konoe, who can do anything, is also a little silent.

It turns out that Tsukasa Higashino didn't know it... How hard you work...?

They were all a little silent, but soon, Higashino Chihaya poked his head out from behind them, blinked and said, "Huh? This kind of box, huh? I've seen Ashnar before. ”

She bypassed Yumi Takahashi and opened it under the corner bookcase: "You see, there are many more here, and there are also here..."

Not just one box, but seven or eight boxes of comic manuscripts that had been shot were thrown underneath here.

This scene is too realistic, and Yumi Takahashi, who has always been looking forward to the manga author, shrank her head.

She has always found drawing comics to be fun.

But at this time, seeing the terrifying amount of painting that needed to be painted, she was completely speechless, she could only touch her head, very confused, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that Mr. Higashino also needs to work hard..."

Oh, yes... It turns out that geniuses still need to work hard...

Tsukasa Higashino is too powerful, right?

A few people left Tsukasa Higashino's room and chatted a few more words.

Fujiwara Aoi thinks that Tsukasa Higashino is indeed very powerful, not only has an interesting soul and a good-looking appearance, but also bears hardships and stands hard work.

And Yumi Takahashi said that Mr. Higashino is indeed a good seedling of a boyfriend.

It's just that when she said this, her expression was eager to try, and she saw that the Konoe Lianghua next to her was so nervous that she was to death.

The other Higashino Chihaya agrees with the two of them, and at the same time doesn't forget to whisper to Ryoka Konoe to tell her to hurry up and work hard to take down Tsukasa Higashino after graduating from high school and marry him.

Three little girls together is originally a play, let alone these four girls together.

They chatted, and after chatting for more than ten minutes, Higashino pushed the door and came back.

At this time, Higashino Tsukasa didn't know that he had been pushed out by Higashino Chihaya to sell, he just glanced at the time, and then said, "I'll cook now, please wait a minute." ”

It's past two o'clock now, and it's estimated that it's already three o'clock after cooking, and then Konoe Lianghua has to go home, and it's almost the same now.

"I, I'll help you, Higashino-san." Ryoka Konoe volunteered to raise her palm.

She has been practicing cooking at home for a long time, and although she may not be as skilled as Tsukasa Higashino, she feels that it is okay to just get started.

Of course, Higashino didn't refuse, and it's good to have someone to do after all.

He happily brought Ryoka Kone into the kitchen.

And then—

Yumi Takahashi, Aoi Fujiwara, and Chihaya Higashino overheard the following conversation.

"Konoe-san, could you please kill the lobster? Start here**..."

"Huh?"

"Won't it? Then can you please take the chicken bones, I want to make soup with chicken bones. ”

"Huh?"

"Uh, wouldn't that be? It's okay, can you please help knead the dough? You should know the proportions, right? ”

"Huh?"

After a while, Konoe Ryoka came out of the kitchen with a sad face, sat obediently on the chair, and muttered to herself with a face full of suspicion: "I... I don't seem to know anything..."

"......" Yumi Takahashi, Aoi Fujiwara.

Don't say you won't... The two of us also know how to knead dough, and we can't buy chicken with good chicken bones in the supermarket?

And kneading the dough, what are you going to do?

They were also dizzy to hear, and several people huddled together, looking lonely, pitiful and helpless.

Almost an hour passed.

Tsukasa Higashino brought out several large bowls from inside.

It wasn't until this time that Ryoka Konoe didn't know what Higashino was doing.

This is clearly handmade noodles... The bright red lobster meat is cut into slices and stacked on thin noodles in a circle, with a cluster of green onions dotted in the middle, and the chicken bone broth is thick and plump, and the chicken is chopped into minced chicken and floats in the soup, and the white minced meat is surrounded by a little bit of fat.

On the other side is a soft-boiled egg with a soft yolk oozing out and chopped seaweed sprinkled on the edges.

"It's too pretty..."

Yumi Takahashi next to her couldn't help but mutter.

And this plating is too particular, isn't it? At first glance, it looks like it's delicious.

"I just happened to have some chicken at home, so I thought about it and made handmade noodles, and the hospitality was not good."

Tsukasa Higashino smiled apologetically: "But I'm still a little confident in the taste, it shouldn't be too unpleasant, please use it." Well, Konoe-san, too, helped a lot. ”

"..."Ryoka Konoe.

Although she knew that Higashino Tsukasa was playing a round for herself, she was still a little embarrassed.

After all, she walked in and came out a short time later, and she didn't help at all.

And...

Konoe Lianghua smelled the fragrant aroma in front of her, and finally couldn't help but move her chopsticks.

And then—

That's delicious, isn't it?

Ryoka Konoe covered her mouth.

As a senior big stomach, although she is usually inconspicuous, she actually has high requirements for meals, otherwise she would not often eat out.

For this reason, Konoe Ryoka has tried many famous ramen restaurants.

Higashinoji's craftsmanship is not much better than that of the master in the shop.

The shrimp meat that has been sucked in the soup is rich in layers, although the soup is rich but not greasy, and the soft-boiled eggs are just right...

She couldn't help it soon, the chopsticks were used very frequently, and the appearance of small sips and small mouthfuls of noodles looked very cute.

At this moment, Yumi Takahashi, who was eating noodles at all regardless of her image, raised her head and asked Chihaya Higashino happily: "Speaking of which, sister, what kind of girl do you like to be Higashino-sensei's girlfriend." ”

Ryoka Konoe stopped and looked up secretly, as if wondering what Higashino Chihaya had answered.

Hearing this, Chihaya Higashino, who was moving her chopsticks, stopped her hand, she tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said, "Don't be too good at eating girls." ”

If it's too edible, isn't Tsukasa Higashino going to die of exhaustion when cooking?

Chihaya Higashino's idea is as simple as that.

But as soon as he said this, Konoe Lianghua's actions were immediately stunned.

Then she cautiously, aggrievedly put down her chopsticks, and whispered, "I'm full." ”

"Huh? Got enough so quickly? Lianghua, you usually..."Yumi Takahashi was stunned, just about to speak.

"I'm really full." Konoe Lianghua lowered her head very aggrievedly: "I will eat less in the future." ”

"Really...?" Yumi Takahashi looked at the noodles that Ryoka Konoe had just eaten halfway, and was a little dumbfounded.

But before she could continue to speak, Higashino Tsukasa on the other side suddenly smiled and said, "Lianghua, is what I made not to your liking?" ”

Ay?

"It's not... No... That..."Konoe Ryoka half-raised her head and stammered.

"Sister Qianzao's preference belongs to Sister Qianzao's preference, I personally prefer girls who eat more." Higashino Tsukasa turned to look at Higashino Chihaya: "Sister Chiza, did you say that?" ”

Higashino Chihaya was also simple, she nodded directly: "It must be that Ace likes it." ”

"Look." Higashino Tsukasa tapped his fingers on the table and said impatiently: "What I finally made, don't you finish the Lianghua?" I don't like girls who waste food. ”

"No, no!" When Konoe Lianghua heard this, she immediately hugged the bowl in a panic: "I, I'll eat it." ”

Seeing that she began to take small bites of noodles again, Higashino also nodded.

He's been watching from the side for a long time, where doesn't he understand Konoe Lianghua's careful thoughts?

Konoe Ryoka should like herself.

This time I came to visit suddenly, and Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara next to me are estimated to be wingmen, mainly to promote their relationship with Ryoka Konoe.

Thinking of this, it is rare for Higashino Tsukasa not to be as careless as usual.

After all, he can feel it too... Konoe Ryoka is most likely the type that likes a person, and it is difficult to go out again.

So you can't be sloppy here.

Tsukasa Higashino thought about it, and planned to find a time to talk to Ryoka Konoe in the future.

After all, Konoe Ryoka is thin-skinned, and I want to count on her to take the initiative to find herself... That's just not possible.

And Tsukasa Higashino is not the type to like to hang others... That kind of person is just a simple scumbag.

With that thought, the meal was quickly finished.

After eating, Tsukasa Higashino didn't rush to send away Fujiwara Aoi and the others, but accompanied the group of little girls to play handle games.

I played like this until five or six o'clock, and Fujiwara Aoi and the others were almost leaving.

"Today, thank you Higashino for taking care of me."

Aoi Fujiwara bowed to Tsukasa Higashino.

It's really bothering Higashino Tsuji a lot, and she is a little embarrassed.

"Haha... It's nothing, you guys just have fun. ”

Tsukasa Higashino smiled.

Although Ryoka Konoe stammered and didn't say anything in the end, Higashino Tsukasa could also feel that the other party should be in a good mood.

"Then let's take our leave." Aoi Fujiwara bowed again and left with Yumi Takahashi and Ryoka Konoe.

Ryoka Konoe also glanced at Tsukasa Higashino before leaving, and her mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something.

But Yumi Takahashi pulled quickly, and she was finally pulled away.

"That's pretty much it for today..."

Tsukasa Higashino turned around, just about to walk into the room.

And then—

A panting voice sounded from behind.

"Higashi, Higashino-san..."

Well?

Tsukasa Higashino turned his face a little stunned.

In front of him.

It's clearly the Konoe cool flower.

At this time, she was half-raising her head, looking at Tsukasa Higashino with big watery eyes, her face slightly flushed from running.

And then.

Ryoka Konoe combed her breathing and asked Higashino Tsukasa in a soft voice:

"I... Isn't it okay? ”

She said slowly.

But it's very clear.

The red face, the big eyes that are clear but full of charm...

Tsukasa Higashino was stunned.

He couldn't help but think about it.

Oh, yes... Couldn't she?
