Chapter 156. The charm of Natsume Soseki (8000 words, there will be a more next)

Tsukasa Higashino is very good at dealing with this kind of fan thing, and after giving a few autographs and chatting a few words, Tsukasa Higashino got off the car with Ryoka Konoe.

Ryoka Konoe next to him didn't speak, looking at Tsukasa Higashino with a pair of big eyes that were too clear and clean, her slender eyebrows raised, and her delicate face half-raised.

"I'm coming back to my senses." Higashino reached out and shook it in front of her.

"Ahh

Seeing her stunned appearance, Higashino asked suspiciously, "What are you looking at?" Cool flowers. ”

"Huh...? No, I was just thinking... Ace is so skilled at dealing with girls. ”

Ryoka Konoe shook her head vigorously and said what she thought.

It's really skilled...

She watched Tsukasa Higashino chatting freely and skillfully with the girls just now, and she was stunned for a while.

Her statement made Higashino Tsukasa a little laughing, so he smiled and said, "Are you jealous?" Actually, you don't have to worry so much... How can they compare to my cool flowers? But if you're really jealous, just tell me, and when we go shopping together in the future, I promise not to look at other women. ”

Hearing Higashinoji's words, Konoe Ryoka's face turned red, but she quickly shook her head and whispered, "I'm not jealous." ”

She doesn't want to be treated as the kind of vinegar jar who gets jealous and angry at every turn.

But—

"Do you really not look at other girls?"

Ryoka Konoe quickly asked.

Sure enough, I still care.

Higashino Tsukasa smiled and touched her head, and agreed very dryly.

Then he naturally took Konoe Ryoka's hand and walked in the direction of the cinema.

Konoe Ryoka didn't struggle either, and naturally walked behind Tsukasa Higashino.

But the silence didn't last long, and Higashino only took two steps before he heard someone calling behind him.

"I'm sorry, Higashino-sensei... You're Higashino-sensei, right? ”

The man who stopped Tsukasa Higashino was a middle-aged man who looked very shrewd and had a businessman's smile on his face.

It's just that Higashino is quite inexplicable.

After all, he didn't know each other.

The other party walked up politely, greeted Tsukasa Higashino, and presented his business card with both hands.

Tsukasa Higashino took the business card and glanced at the name on it, and then it dawned on him.

This man was a reporter from a newspaper publishing house named Kazuo Murayama.

"Hello, Mr. Murayama, is there anything you want me to do?"

Tsukasa Higashino stretched out his hand and shook the other party, glanced at the time and asked.

There is still half an hour left before the movie starts, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to rush over.

Kazuo Murayama naturally has his thoughts on this.

He coughed, then looked sideways at the girl next to Tsukasa Higashino.

It's not sexual harassment, it's a bit of a surprise.

That Higashino-sensei, who is known in the industry as printers, has a girlfriend?

In the case of the hot serialization of "Winner is Justice", this is good news.

After all, Higashino Stor's "Winner is Justice" has many female fans, and they are also quite concerned about Higashino Tsukasa's emotional problems.

So he pondered the words and asked, "Is this the girlfriend of Mr. Higashino next to him?" ”

Higashino immediately understood the meaning of his words.

The other party may be curious about his relationship with Konoe Ryoka, so he came up to ask.

Compared to other lace tabloids in Japan, Kazuo Murayama is undoubtedly much better.

After all, the paparazzi authors of those lace tabloids just hid in the dark, poked and took a photo, and sent it out directly, without notifying the parties.

But in the end, there is nothing to hide about Ryoka Konoe's relationship with herself.

So he raised the palm that held Konoe Lianghua, and just wanted to introduce-

"I'm Ace's girlfriend, Ryoka Konoe."

Konoe Lianghua, this marshmallow, actually took the initiative to speak?

Tsukasa Higashino didn't expect it at all.

You must know that Konoe Lianghua has always been a stuffy gourd.

He looked at Konoe Lianghua again, and found that the other party was wearing a demure smile on his face, looking very down-to-earth and generous.

This made Tsukasa Higashino even more strange.

No... Who are you?

If it weren't for the fact that this face was really Ryoka Konoe's, Higashino Tsukasa even thought that he was holding the wrong person's hand on the train.

Kazuo Murayama didn't know what Tsukasa Higashino was thinking.

After hearing Konoe Ryoka's admission, he was already very excited to raise the camera and asked, "Excuse me, can I take a picture of the two of you?" ”

This is going to take a photo directly, and then announce to the media that Tsukasa Higashino has found a girlfriend.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Murayama." Higashino Tsukasa restrained the other party: "I don't object to you writing in the newspaper that I have a girlfriend, but please forgive me for the real photos, Lianghua is not ready to be in the newspaper." ”

Yes, writing news is writing news, and it is a bit too much to ask for photos.

After exposing the photo, it may bring trouble to Ryoka Konoe.

"Really? I'm sorry, but I was abrupt. Kazuo Murayama is a reporter from a big newspaper, so he didn't force it, and after nodding with a smile, he was already thinking about how to write the manuscript in the future.

What is the title used for? 'The emotional path of the talented Kumamon designer and the hottest new star in the manga industry, Mr. Higashino'?

No, no, it's too bland.

He shook his head and asked again, "Then can you let me hear about the emotional experience of the two of you?" ”

Emotional experience?

It's up to Higashino Tsukasa to make it up casually, he simply took out the chat mode and talked nonsense casually - anyway, the other party couldn't find anyone else to collect evidence in the end, and he and Konoe Ryoka have always been in a relationship quite secretly.

The Konoe Lianghua next to her was stunned when she listened, and her face was full of surprise.

Did you have so many waves when you were in love with Tsukasa Higashino before?

Tsukasa Higashino said as if he couldn't stop an asteroid from hitting the earth, and he fell in love with Ryoka Konoe.

"That's about it." Tsukasa Higashino made the end, smacking his lips unsatisfactorily.

I have to say that he does have a talent for making up stories and chatting, and Kazuo Murayama next to him was fascinated when he listened to it, and when he heard the ending made by Tsukasa Higashino, he asked a little blankly: "What's next?" ”

"There's no next, I'm with Lianghua like this."

Belch...

Only then did Kazuo Murayama realize that he had been rude, so he immediately apologized and asked in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I wanted to ask, how did Higashino-sensei confess to this Miss Konoe?" ”

"The moonlight is so beautiful... Well... I'm sorry, Mr. Murayama, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. ”

Tsukasa Higashino originally wanted to talk a few more words on the topic of 'the moonlight is so beautiful', but he lowered his head and looked at the time before he realized that it was almost time for the opening of the movie, so he apologized and left with Ryoka Konoe.

Only Kazuo Murayama was left in place, pondering the sentence 'The moonlight is so beautiful' left by Tsukasa Higashino.

He is a professional journalist and has strong literary skills, so he immediately understood the meaning of the phrase 'the moonlight is so beautiful'.

It is as clear as the moon, and it is also a charming dream, the moonlight is so beautiful, this sentence is a confession that is hazy by the misty moonlight.

Weak, subtle, but inexplicably poked the softest place in Kazuo Murayama's heart.

Kazuo Murayama has not heard the lingering compassion of the so-called 'model couple', the love words of the mountain alliance and the sea vow, but there is no love sentence like 'the moonlight is so beautiful', which makes him feel a little inexplicably.

The moonlight is originally hazy and subtle, just like love, subtle and hazy - the man can't figure out the woman's thoughts, and the woman can't figure out the man's thoughts.

It is precisely because of the hazy place of love that both men and women are simply 'like' and 'love' The words are completely unclear, and can only be replaced by the words 'the moonlight is so beautiful'.

This is a confession that only Japanese people can understand.

It is also a love story that only Japanese people can understand.

"This Higashino-sensei... It's a bit awesome. ”

You can't come up with this sentence without a certain amount of writing skills.

Tsukasa Higashino, who can come up with this sentence, must also have corresponding writing skills.

Kazuo Murayama tasted this sentence repeatedly, and the more he tasted it, the more he felt the taste.

He was very impressed by this, and as soon as he returned to the newspaper office, he decided on the headline: 'The moonlight is so beautiful, the most beautiful love story I have ever heard.' ’

He wrote the report quickly.

And among them, there is a description and explanation of Higashino Division's 'moonlight is really beautiful', which has brought a frenzy of love stories about 'moonlight is really beautiful'.

Various rumors also began to circulate.

What 'the moonlight is so beautiful has promoted a million couples to be together' or 'as long as the moonlight is so beautiful, there is no girl who doesn't agree to confess'... Rumors like these spread more and more, and even the Hokugijuku became popular that 'the moonlight is beautiful'.

In this situation, many people have noticed the creator of the phrase 'the moonlight is so beautiful' in the report.

To be honest, when I saw this name, many Japanese friends came up with an idea from their hearts for some reason - why are you again? How is it always you?

Tsukasa Higashino, who started with "Midnight Bells" and scared them half to death with comics, and then drew "Lonely Gourmet" to make them hungry to death.

to Kumamon in the back, and then to today's "Winner is Justice".

These people all know that Higashino Tsukasa is indeed a ghost genius and has a lot of creative talent.

But...

You're also starting to fall in love... Isn't that appropriate?

Too versatile, right?

Before, they gave Tsukasa Higashino the title of a printing press... Now I feel that he should put another name on his head as a master of national emotions - you must know that the outside media said that Higashino Tsukasa's sentence 'The beauty of the moonlight has contributed to a million couples'.

And 'the moonlight is so beautiful' is also listed as the first of this year's top ten platinum sentences.

The news soon reached Higashino's ears.

To be honest, when he heard the media and discussion outside, Higashino just couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Master of National Sentiments... What the hell is this?

In fact, everyone understands the thing of falling in love.

If others are really boring to you, even if you say to others a thousand or ten thousand times, 'The moonlight is beautiful', it's useless."

At most, this thing is only effective when the two are in love.

Where is there such an evil rumor outside, it is like hypnosis, and others will promise you to confess when you say it.

Tsukasa Higashino estimates that the phrase 'the moonlight is so beautiful' gives those who dare not dare to confess the courage to adopt this hazy way of confession, which is why it is as popular as it is now.

Master Natsume Soseki is indeed powerful, and an ordinary love word can shake the people of the entire island country.

But there's one thing Higashino Tsukasa actually wants to ask Ryoka Konoe.

"By the way, Lianghua, when you watched the movie that day, why did you suddenly introduce yourself so positively?"

When Kazuo Murayama was interviewed that day, Ryoka Konoe seemed to be a different person, confident, demure, and looked really a little bit of Yamato Nadeshiko's taste.

Higashino didn't ask about this, and I forgot about it now, and after seeing the report about 'The Moonlight is so beautiful' today, I remembered to ask her.

"Actually, it's good to be natural." Tsukasa Higashino thought and said, "You don't have to force yourself to do things that you are not used to. ”

Yes, he didn't hate Ryoka Konoe's lack of self-confidence, she didn't have to pretend.

Konoe Ryoka listened to Higashino Tsukasa's voice, just lowered her head, then half-raised her head again, and said in a low voice: "When you walk with Ace in this way, Ace will have more face." ”

This explanation is reasonable.

It was so reasonable that Higashino was even a little speechless.

Although in Higashino's opinion, her behavior will not actually add much face to herself... But Ryoka Konoe's attitude...

Tsukasa Higashino was indeed a little moved.

He called Ryoka Konoe over.

"What does Ace want to do?" Ryoka Konoe tilted her head.

"Hug you." Higashino Tsukasa simply hugged Konoe Ryoka, making Konoe Ryoka's face turn red all of a sudden.

She didn't struggle, though... Because she knew that the more she struggled, the more Higashino Tsukasa would bully her and hold her tighter.

After a while, Higashino turned to look out at the balcony: "It's almost winter vacation." ”

Ryoka Konoe whispered 'um', and actually took the initiative to hug Tsukasa Higashino with her backhand, and her voice was a little dull: "I don't really want to go home for the New Year." ”

Yes.

It's almost winter break.

After the winter break, it seems that Ryoka Konoe is going back to her home - this is the tradition of Konoe's father, and there is an annual meeting at the end of each year.

Konoe Ryoka, as a daughter, naturally can't be absent.

Regarding Konoe Lianghua's words, Higashino Tsukasa also smiled and touched her head: "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"Huh...? No, not anymore. ”

Konoe Lianghua's face was red.

She wasn't mentally ready to let Higashino meet her father.

"Really? That's a shame. ”

Listening to Higashino Tsukasa deliberately sighing, Konoe Ryoka didn't dare to speak, but buried her head in Higashino Tsukasa's arms with a very red face.

Except for the matter on Konoe Ryoka's side.

The production of the storyboard picture book of Tsukasa Higashino's "Midnight Bell"... It's almost time to call it a day.
