"Miss, what's wrong?"

Higashino Tsukasa looked at Aibu Yako, who was completely stunned, and felt a little strange in his heart.

What's going on?

Obviously using the skills given by the system, how can the things drawn still make a person look stupid?

This... It's only been a month since I've traveled back, and I'm just getting familiar with the environment in Japan in 2003, so don't really make Aisai Yako stupid - that's a big problem.

Higashino lifted his chin and thought.

As in thousands of stories, Tsukasa Higashino is a time-traveler.

In his previous life, he was an art student of the Celestial Empire, and after graduation, he debuted as an orthodox painter.

After painting on and off for several years, Higashino held several small exhibitions in various parts of the Celestial Empire, and was considered a well-known painter in the local area - at least it was not a problem to support his family.

A month ago, he strangely traveled to this world of Japan, and became a first-year Japanese high school student called Tsukasa Higashino.

Of course, none of this is important, the most important thing is -

Tsukasa Higashino tried to gather his spirit, and the pale blue page slowly appeared in front of him.

Note: Well-known points can increase the overall value of the body, and the higher the physical fitness, the higher the well-known points.

Note: The more people who know your name and are attracted by your work, the more famous points you can earn.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the predecessors of the Celestial Empire traverser, and Higashino Division brought his own system at the beginning of the crossing, but he would not work hard with his bare hands.

As for the skill of Tang Hand?

This is what I learned to play in my previous life, and I can't get on the table, and Higashino doesn't like to intersect with others.

He's always been a Sven.

In his previous life, he sent a second-rate son who had a personality to harass his female apprentice into the hospital and lay in the hospital for more than half a year.

He still prefers to reason with others.

Compared to such an inconsequential matter, Aisei's reaction made him a little worried.

This is the second time he has used the 'empathy' skill on this pit system.

Don't draw a picture and make someone else demented – that's not good.

"Ahh No. Higashino-kun's drawings are so beautiful... I... Kind of touched. ”

Aibu Yako hurriedly waved her hand, signaling that she was okay.

At the same time, those big eyes glanced up at the painting from time to time, obviously liking this full-body sketch.

"A little impressed?" Higashino Tsukasin said that a painting can still move you?

"Me too...", a female college student from Shibuya next to her said with a dry throat, "I think of the dog that my deceased mother and her sister raised." ”

It's just that this associative order is too nonsense.

Tsukasa Higashino didn't quite understand whether she missed her mother or a dog.

Besides, he painted Ai Shengyako, a female high school student, how did the other party see the dog's face from this painting?

"Well, thank you, Higashino-kun, I like this painting very much, can you please stamp it?"

Aibu Yako pleaded.

"Yes." Tsukasa Higashino took out the seal without care, and the customer's request for 2,500 yen was still satisfied.

Seals can be found everywhere in Japan, so there is a saying that seals are more important than autographs.

Tsukasa Higashino is carrying a seal, not an official seal, which can be used at will and does not have some legal benefits.

But he was more worried about Aibu Yako's mental state than about stamping this thing - don't be demented by the skills of the system.

Later, Aibu Yako didn't get distracted anymore, she just cherished the sketch and rolled it up, nodded at Tsukasa Higashino, stuffed Tsukasa Higashino for another 2,500 yen, and then turned around and left with two or three little girls in her small group.

She obviously forgot the purpose of her phone number and was fooled by Tsukasa Higashino's words, so much so that she bought a painting.

Looking at the other party's distant figure, Higashino Tsukasa was relieved.

Luckily, nothing went wrong.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I have some things to do next, so I'll miss you first."

Higashino retracted his gaze and quickly put away his easel, while turning his head sideways to say hello to the female college students who were still thinking about their mothers and dogs.

"Wait! Higashino-kun! There was a good-looking female university behind her who hurriedly shouted to stop: "You can paint me a picture next time." ”

"Next time, definitely."

The other party looked pretty good, and Tsukasa Higashino also smiled and waved his hand at her, holding the easel and drawing board, rolled up a dozen picture scrolls on the ground and left Shibuya Station.

......

Higashino's home is in Adachi Ward, with three bedrooms and one living room, and the bathroom is connected.

This is a standard unit in Tokyo.

In Tokyo, where land is at a premium, it's nice to have a room like this.

Before he could enter the house, he heard several soft and worried calls: "Asi, Asi, where are you?" ”

The soft voice was distinctly anxious.

When Higashino heard this, he immediately walked into the house and looked into the living room.

At this time, a weak girl was anxious to spin around the living room.

She lifted the lid of the trash can, "Ace, are you here?" ”

Then he lowered his head, lay on the ground, and looked under the sofa: "Is Ace there?" ”

Then he opened the TV cabinet and glanced inside uneasily: "Ace, are you hiding here?" ”

This weak girl was obviously anxious, with tears in her eyes, panicked, even opened the toilet in the toilet to look inside, and called the name of Higashino Tsukasa twice.

Higashino Tsukasa thought that she was going to call the police again, so she responded: "Sister Chihaya, I just came back from outside." ”

As soon as she heard Tsukasa Higashino's voice, the girl turned her head in a daze.

She stayed where she was, looked at Tsukasa Higashino, stood for a long time, and then burst down with tears in her eyes.

The point is that she didn't dare to cry yet, and only stared at Higashino Tsukasa with big eyes watery, with a look of grievance.

After a while, she came over and stood on tiptoe to straighten the collar of Tsukasa Higashino, and raised her head stupidly:

"Ace, why are you running around? Don't run around, it's dangerous outside... A lot of bad women's. ”

"There is something going on out there. Did Sister Chihaya eat? ”

Tsukasa Higashino reached out and touched the girl's head.

"Ace hasn't eaten yet, so my sister hasn't eaten either." The girl giggled happily.

"Then let's eat." Tsukasa Higashino showed the bento he brought over to Chihaya Higashino.

Dinner was very cheap, it was a set meal bento at a convenience store, 500 yen, stuffed with a chicken patty and drizzled with sauce, and it was very simple without vegetables.

While eating, Tsukasa Higashino looked at the girl in front of him with a gentle gaze.

This girl is the sister of the original owner, Tsukasa Higashino, named Chihaya Higashino.

The original owner's parents died of a murderer at night, leaving only Higashino Tsukasa to rely on her.

The pillar of the family fell in an instant, and Higashino Chihaya was not a strong person, and after suffering such a heavy blow, she soon suffered from mental disorders.

Looking at Chihaya Higashino in front of him, Tsukasa Higashino took a deep breath.

To be honest, he is not the kind of selfless character, and he also had the idea of sending Chihaya Higashino to a mental hospital.

But—

"Ace, this is delicious, give it to you."

Chihaya Higashino sandwiches the chicken patty with Tsukasa Higashino.

It's just that as soon as the chicken patty is given to Tsukasa Higashino, there is basically nothing left of the bento.

She just like that, the white rice dipped in some vegetable juice, and she gulped it down.

From time to time, he was still holding the dishes and chopsticks, and he smiled silly at Higashino Division.

Look, Chihaya Higashino, the elder sister is so dedicated to herself, and Tsukasa Higashino is not hard-hearted, so she is naturally reluctant to send her to a mental hospital.

No matter how difficult life is, some things are the bottom line, and the bottom line cannot be moved.

Higashino Tsukasa stopped his chopsticks, stuffed his chicken patty back into the other party's bowl with the one Higashino Chihaya had just given him, and replied with a smile:

"Actually, I don't like to eat chicken patties very much, so let Sister Chihaya help me solve it."

"Really?" Chihaya Higashino grabbed her hair.

She has always believed in Tsukasa Higashino's words, but-

She had eaten the chicken patty, and it was delicious.

Why doesn't my brother like to eat?

Does he only like to eat white rice?

She was dumbfounded, a little confused, and finally asked, "What does Assi like to eat?" ”

"Me? I prefer sea bass from the Mariana Trench. ”

Tsukasa Higashino casually made up a gadget.

As for whether the Mariana Trench produces sea bass or not... This Higashino Tsukasa doesn't know.

"Oh... Oh! ”

Higashino Chihaya nodded in a daze. The little head is still wondering where the Mariana Trench is.

Compared to this...

"Sister Chihaya." Higashino put down his chopsticks: "Do you really want me to stay at home?" ”

"yes, it's so dangerous out there."

Higashino Chihaya's big weak eyes blinked pitifully, and a shadow appeared on her beautiful face.

Higashino's parents died outside, which is naturally a big shadow of her psyche.

"Then what if I take a leave of absence to accompany Sister Chihaya?" Tsukasa Higashino is kind and persuasive.

"No!!"

Boom.

Chihaya Higashino's slender hands slammed on the table.

It really 'smashed' on the table, and even my hands were smashed red.

Chihaya Higashino looked at Tsukasa Higashino.

Stubborn, serious.

Again.

Every time Tsukasa Higashino discusses this topic of suspension with Chihaya Higashino, she is always very excited and categorical, no matter what, she must let Tsukasa Higashino go to school.

But to be honest, Chihaya Higashino, who has always been in this state, stays at home alone, and he is really not at ease.

Looks like I'm going to have to keep spending time with the principal...

Tsukasa Higashino thought to himself.

At this time, Higashino Chihaya also came over in time, with tears in his big eyes, and begged Higashino Tsukasa: "Ace will go to school, right?" Assi listens to his sister the most, right? ”

Mentally handicapped, she didn't quite know what it meant to 'go to school'.

But as soon as I heard Tsukasa Higashino say 'suspend school'.

She'll get extra agitated.

"Got it."

Tsukasa Higashino gave up the idea of taking a leave of absence and agreed to Chihaya Higashino.

"Hmm!"

Hearing this, Higashino Chihaya's frowning thin eyebrows were released.

But her big eyes still scanned back and forth on Higashino Tsukasa uneasily, a little worried.

She was worried that Higashino was just perfunctory.
