"What?! Tsukasa Higashino won the gold medal in the student group of the Youth Painting Awards? Madoka Fukushima won the bronze award? ”

Ryoko Okano, who was then on the phone, got up from her seat.

Because the movement on her side was so loud, the teachers in the entire office took a look at her, but when they heard the content of Ryoko Okano's words, they showed a look of surprise and congratulated Ryoko Okano one one after another.

Kita-Yoshijuku has always preached to the outside world that art and sports are revitalizing the school, so these teachers also know a little bit about the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards.

But what they didn't expect the most was that the students under the guidance of Ryoko Okano were so competitive that they directly won the Tokyo Youth Painting Bounty, and as for the bronze award of Fukushima Mado...? To be honest, this is actually a good result, but there really isn't anything special to mention under the gold prize.

After all, there are only a handful of students in history who have won the gold medal at the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, and this is probably the third time.

Students who win gold prizes can also be interviewed in newspapers.

The student named Tsukasa Higashino also won glory for the school, and of course they should congratulate him.

As for the Adult Gold Reward? Then this is not in the scope of the teachers' consideration.

After all, the winners of the annual Tokyo Youth Painting Awards Adult Bounty are able to show their faces on TV, and that is no longer a world that high school students can touch, let alone teachers.

"Yes, yes... Okay, thank you for your hard work, well, I'm going to inform Higashino-san, okay. Claim the prize tomorrow night? Okay, okay, got it. ”

Ryoko Okano was in a good mood, and finished the phone call with a smile throughout the whole process, and then greeted the teachers who congratulated her one by one.

"Everyone, I still have something to go to the studio, so I'll leave first."

Naturally, the teachers also said that they could understand.

I'm busy informing students and principals... It's normal.

Ryoko Okano directly pushed open the door and walked towards the club activity building.

may be a bonus to people's spirits on happy occasions, and even this usual road, Gangno Ryoko is particularly pleasing to the eye.

After all, that's a golden reward!

Although it is only a gold prize for the student group and not the adult group! But that's also a gold prize!

This is the first student to win the gold award in the student group since Yoshiko Okano joined the company! It is commemorative in every sense of the word.

And Fukushima Mado's results are also not bad, and he won the bronze award, which is also something to praise.

She was in a good mood and walked with a much brisk pace.

Most girls like to imagine the future, and the same is true for Ryoko Okano.

She is now fantasizing that Tsukasa Higashino will go to college in the future, and maybe she will be able to win the gold medal in the adult group of the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, and show her face on TV to win glory for her.

At that time, maybe I, the instructor of Tsukasa Higashino, will be able to be interviewed by the TV station?

A smile tugged at Ryoko Okano's lips, and she soon arrived at the door of the studio.

She knocked on the door, then pulled the door in, glanced around with a smile on her face, and then was stunned for a moment, and asked Konoe Ryoka, "What about Higashino-san?" ”

Yes, there is no shadow of Tsukasa Higashino in the studio, and the easel next to Ryoka Konoe is empty, and there is no sign that no one has been here at all.

"Higashi, Higashino-san, he should still be carving wood carving..."Konoe Ryoka was stunned by Ryoko Gangno's sudden question, and opened her mouth to reply.

Oh - I see, there's such a thing as wood carving.

Ryoko Okano then remembered that Tsukasa Higashino had promised to make wood carving exhibits for the student union some time ago: "Really? Can Konoe-san go and call Higashino-san over? I have something to announce. ”

"Oh... Good. ”

Konoe nodded slightly.

She knew which classroom Higashino Tsukasa was in, and it was Higashino Tsukasa who told her.

It's just that... Why is the teacher suddenly looking for Higashino-san? And it looks like I'm happy...

Konoe Lianghua couldn't figure it out, but she still obediently stepped out of the door and walked towards the third floor.

"The empty classroom on the far right on the third floor..."

Ryoka Konoe muttered to herself, as if she was sure she was mistaken, and walked towards the corridor on the right side of the third floor.

Soon, Konoe Ryoka had already walked to the door, and to her surprise, the door of the empty classroom was opened directly, and it was not locked at all.

She hesitated for a moment but knocked politely on the door and said softly, "Sorry to excuse me, Higashino-san." ”

Then she looked up and saw the carved wood eggshell that had been fixed to the base and had been ground to a smooth surface...

It was probably a broken eggshell, with the lower part of the vertical part intact and the top half directly shattered.

The wooden square base is decorated with carved eggshells and feathers.

The carving is too detailed, and some of the wood grains and details make Konoe Ryoka unable to take his eyes off it.

It's so pretty...

Ryoka Konoe thought to herself, Tsukasa Higashino really knew how to carve wood.

But it was clear that the wood carving was not finished yet, and it seemed that Higashino was still preparing to carve something in the eggshell, pinching the hammer and the arc knife and tapping it one by one.

Centered on this wood carving, the ground is littered with wood chips and sandpapered wood powder.

In the corner of the classroom, there is also garbage such as wood chips and wood flour that Higashino has swept with a broom.

It's quite high.

Tsukasa Higashino had actually noticed Ryoka Konoe a long time ago, but he was doing the job in his hand at the right place, so he didn't let go.

After everything was done, Higashino Tsukasa stopped and looked up: "It's Konoe-san, I'm sorry, my hand was a little busy just now... Is there anything you have to do here? ”

He smiled and walked over to ask.

"Oh, oh... That one... Mr. Okano has something to look for you. Konoe Ryoka came back to her senses and said to Tsukasa Higashino in front of her.

"Looking for me?" Higashino Tsukasa saw her delicate appearance, so he laughed twice: "Do you know what is going on?" ”

"This just... Anyway, there's something looking for you. ”

Konoe shook her head.

Don't know what's going on?

Tsukasa Higashino pinched his chin.

I remember that there is only one thing that has happened recently - the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards.

Could it be that this is the case?

Higashino Tsukasa thought about it, took out his phone and looked at it.

"Tokyo", which he used to participate in the adult group of the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards, did not participate in the name of Kita Gijuku, but in his own name.

Therefore, the award of the student group should be notified to Ryoko Okano.

The Japan Art Education Association will inform him of the award in the adult category.

He just took out his phone and—

The phone rang.

Well?

This means that Cao Cao Cao is here?

Is it a gold reward?

Tsukasa Higashino's mind drifted, and after saying to Ryoka Konoe, 'Wait a minute, I'll go to the studio when I answer the phone', and then the phone was connected.

"Hello? Have you ever contributed to the Tokyo Youth Painting Awards? ”

Here it comes...

Tsukasa Higashino came to his senses and immediately replied:

"It's me."
