Seeing that Higashino's inquiry was so direct, Yonekura Sadao did not hesitate, briefly explained the matter, and then smiled and asked him if he was interested in joining the New Century Art Association when he visited the museum.

"Do you want to join the New Century Art Association?" Faced with Yonekura's inquiry, Higashino Tsukasa thought for a while and said that he would think about it for a few more days.

He was really thinking about it.

After all, it's no problem to join the New Century Art Association, because the other party doesn't have to take any responsibility himself, he is the honorary vice president with his name...

And join this art association, after Konoe Ryoka in the Konoe family kimono design is not understood, he can also use the connections of the New Century Art Association to find professionals to help with research - Higashino Tsukasa has experience in this aspect of art, but in the kimono design thing is a little powerless.

After all, he didn't understand the Japanese kimono culture at all.

After giving Sadao Yonekura this reply, Ishikawa Reizo, who was accompanying the other party on the other side, was also a little embarrassed to say his thoughts - he wanted to invite Tsukasa Higashino to visit Aomori High School... After all, Tsukasa Higashino is also a celebrity, and if he visits in the past, he can also add a line on his admissions resume in the future: 'There are many celebrities such as Tsukasa Higashino'.

As for how many of these 'multi-digits' there are... That's the beauty of language arts.

"Do you want to visit Aomori High School?" Tsukasa Higashino pinched his chin.

He didn't have any aversion to this kind of past visit, and he understood Ishikawa Reizo's thoughts, but the problem was that he wasn't alone now, with Konoe Ryoka, Fujiwara Aoi, Takahashi Yumi and his own sister, he was not very easy to draw conclusions by himself, so he still had to discuss it with them.

"Would you like to go sightseeing at Aomori High School?" When all the girls heard Higashino Tsukasa speak, they all showed a little surprised expression.

Going to a high school visit?

What kind of tricks can I visit in that place?

Especially Ryoka Konoe, it was completely as if she hadn't expected it, she looked up at Reizo Ishikawa behind Tsukasa Higashino, and then she seemed to think of something: "It's Principal Ishikawa." ”

This sudden opening stunned Ishikawa Reizo, who was still waiting for Higashinoji's answer, and then Ishikawa Reizo asked curiously, "This young lady... Have you attended our school before? ”

"Hmm." Konoe Ryoka nodded: "My country's junior high school graduated from Aomori National High School. ”

"Aomori Kunijunaka?"

At this moment, the little girls around were interested.

"Hmm. Aomori Junior High School is a high school and junior high school in one, and after graduating from junior high school, you can choose to continue your studies at Aomori High School. I have seen President Ishikawa speak many times in the morning meeting. ”

Ryoka Konoe nodded.

Yuika Nakamura, whom I met when I first came to Aomori Prefecture, also graduated from Aomori Junior High School to Aomori High School.

"Ace!" Chihaya Higashino's face suddenly showed an indescribable sense of interest.

Obviously, she is very interested in the alma mater where Ryoka Konoe graduated - after all, it is also extremely important to help her brother check the learning environment of his girlfriend!

She came interested, and Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara on the other side also looked slightly sideways.

Not to mention Konoe Ryoka just now, they think that a high school is nothing to look at, but since it is a school that their best friend graduated from... Then there is a need to take a look.

They were all interested, and Tsukasa Higashino, who noticed their rapid 'change of face', also shook his head a little funny, and then turned to Ishikawa Reizo: "If Principal Ishikawa doesn't mind, I'm here..."

He brought four girls over at once, and he had to communicate with each other anyway.

"What would I mind?" Reizo Ishikawa smiled and waved his hand: "It's enough to make me happy that Mr. Higashino can come to visit." ”

He is a standard Japanese who especially admires talents in 'literature' and 'art', and what Higashino said was just a few small things, and of course he agreed directly.

"Then I'll bother tomorrow... If you can, please let us visit freely without bothering Principal Ishikawa or other teachers at your school. ”

Tsukasa Higashino smiled and nodded.

It's too late today to go straight over.

"It's not much of a problem." Reizo Ishikawa nodded.

The two quickly agreed on a time, and Ishikawa Reizo also said that he would send a tourist pass directly to Tsukasa Higashino, and the security guards and teachers would not stop them.

This intimate and meticulous treatment made Ryoka Konoe and others behind Tsukasa Higashino also sigh a little - is this the influence of celebrities? If they want to enter the school, they will probably have to go through a lot of procedures for visiting, otherwise they will be kicked out as suspicious... And it's not like Tsukasa Higashino, where you can visit around freely.

It's really more human than human beings who can anger people to death.

They sighed quietly in the back, and Yumi Takahashi even said that she wanted to aim for Tsukasa Higashino and strive to become the first professional women's kendo in Japan.

Fujiwara Aoi was also speechless for a while when she heard this, and said that before that, Yumi Takahashi had to think about how to graduate and go to college.

They were discussing in the back, and on the other side, Tsukasa Higashino, who had already finished communicating with Reizo Ishikawa, turned around, said hello to them, and took them out of the museum.

It's five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to go back to dinner and rest for the night.

The food in the evening is still a little different, especially for dessert, and the manager brings taiyaki with apple filling, which is a Japanese dessert made with sea bream molds and a plain dough.

This taiyaki was given to Tsukasa Higashino as an after-dinner dessert by the owner, and she said that it was a local specialty of Aomori Prefecture, and only in Aomori Prefecture can it be eaten with apple filling, and most of the other places have bean paste filling.

Tsukasa Higashino took a bite and found that it was not bad, but it didn't taste as good as the bean paste filling - this thing is probably a magic version of the locals in Aomori Prefecture, after all, this is the birthplace of Fuji apples and has the largest apple production in Japan.

After eating, Higashino Tsukasa and others played mahjong for a while (ask the owner to borrow it), but mainly Higashino Chihaya and Takahashi Yumi were playing, and Higashino Tsukasa was just watching from the side.

However, he just watched it for a while, and soon became uninterested, and went straight back to his room to rest.

And just like that, the night passed quickly.

Following...

"Uhhhh

It wasn't until he opened his eyes that he realized his current condition.

Ryoka Konoe is holding herself.

To be more precise, he used his whole person as a pillow.

“... This sleep is inevitably too bad. Tsukasa Higashino tried to move, and found that Ryoka Konoe was hanging on him and refused to let go, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

It's soft, it's warm, it's warm, but I still have to wash myself.

He stretched out his hand and pushed Konoe Lianghua's face, and then pushed his shoulder, and found that he couldn't break free.

This made Tsukasa Higashino a little surprised.

Is Konoe Ryoka so strong?

Several times to break free and useless, Higashino Tsukasa whispered her twice, but there was no movement.

So Tsukasa Higashino was expressionless and reached out to pinch Ryoka Konoe's nose.

"Hmm..." Konoe Ryoka's complexion changed suddenly, her body swayed slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

"Good morning." Tsukasa Higashino wanted to say, 'You're awake,' but after thinking about it, he changed the way he said hello.

"Good morning..."Konoe Lianghua was sleepy-eyed, obviously not waking up yet: "Ace is still so good-looking..."

Muttering softly about her dreams, Ryoka Konoe arched her chest like a kitten, and the strength in her hand did not decrease, but tightened it.

Please forgive Higashino for using the word 'hoop' to describe it here, but this strength... It's not much of a problem to use the word 'hoop' to describe it.

The point is... The thing actually fell asleep again.

This made Higashino Tsukasa a little crying and laughing.

What time did you play mahjong yesterday? Still not awake?

So he pinched Konoe Ryoka's nose again, and after about ten seconds, Konoe Ryoka woke up again, glanced at Higashino Tsukasa hazy, hugged his hands again, his short black hair was scattered, and his little head was directly attached to Higashino's chest, and he fell asleep again.

"Wake up, Lianghua." Higashino Tsukasa pushed Konoe Liang's shoulder, and at the same time, supplemented by the nose pinching method, finally woke up Kane Ryoka completely.

Konoe Ryoka opened her eyes and came back to her senses after a while: "Huh? As? ”

Only then did she realize that she seemed to be far away from Tsukasa Higashino... A little close?

"Uh..." Konoe Ryoka's face suddenly climbed into the red tide, and she looked helpless: "It's not... That one... Ace..."

"I'm almost going to wash, if you're sleepy, rest a little longer." Tsukasa Higashino said hello and felt that it was almost time for Ryoka Konoe to let go, so he prepared to stand up.

And then—

Well?

Higashino Tsukasa was stunned, he didn't expect that Ryoka Konoe didn't mean to let go, but instead used his strength again?

What's going on?

Tsukasa Higashino looked at Ryoka Konoe.

"I... I'd like to hug Ace a little longer..."

Konoe Lianghua's face was red, but she still didn't let go, she raised her head quietly, and looked up with big eyes:

"Can't you?"

As soon as Konoe Lianghua said this, she regretted it.

I just woke up, and before my brain turned a corner, I suddenly said what was in my heart...

So she immediately wanted to let go, and she whispered in her mouth: "It's not... That, Ace, I didn't mean that. ”

"You don't mean that now?" Higashino couldn't laugh or cry, so he hugged her very simply: "But I am." ”

Realizing the strength in Higashino's hand, Konoe Ryoka opened his mouth wide, and the whole person was completely stunned, and he complained to himself inexplicably in his heart - he played mahjong too late yesterday, until he barely woke up just now... It's really... Mahjong is too much of a delay!

Konoe Ryoka's personality was originally well-behaved and obedient, and he couldn't be tough with Higashino Division, so he could only keep his head down and let him hug him for a morning.

During this period, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara woke up, and saw that Tsukasa Higashino and Ryoka Konoe had not left the room, and they were still hiding next to them with red faces and didn't know what to discuss.

And after seeing Ryoka Konoe coming out of the room with her head down like a thief, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara discussed more intensely.

Afterwards, they also asked Konoe Lianghua about the specific situation, but this time Konoe Lianghua didn't speak, and it was rare to glare at them slightly with those moist eyes - they shouldn't be playing mahjong.

Her posture made Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara look at each other, feeling that this friend was already one step ahead of the two of them.

As for the noisy side of Higashino Tsukasa on the other side, when he saw their noisy side, he could figure out the thoughts of Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara if he thought about it.

But he just smiled, and didn't have any idea of explaining at all.

It was like this and it dragged on, and by the time everyone had washed up, it was already twelve o'clock at noon after eating.

Since there was still an agreement with Ishikawa Reizo, Tsukasa Higashino picked up his mobile phone and called the other party, and at the same time followed Ryoka Konoe to Aomori High School.

"Is this the school that Lianghua attended?"

Yumi Takahashi looked around curiously, but after only two glances, she withdrew her gaze with some disappointment: "It feels a little smaller than Kitagijuku." ”

Of course, Kita-Gijuku is a prestigious high school in Meguro Ward, Tokyo, and its financial resources are not comparable to Aomori Junior High School.

"Has Aomori Junior High School opened? Why are there so many people during the summer vacation...? ”

Fujiwara Aoi glanced at the specific situation of Aomori Middle School and couldn't help but ask.

yes, it's still during the summer vacation, why are so many people coming to class?

"These people are probably seniors in the third year of high school, and they probably came to the school for self-study." Ryoka Konoe introduced on the side: "Aomori High School is open even during the summer and winter vacations, in order to make it convenient for fresh graduates. ”

Students come to school for self-study... This is actually quite a common thing.

After all, there are too many temptations to study at home, there are always all kinds of things that are easy to get distracted, and the atmosphere at school is much better than at home... It's like the concept that Celestial Empire students can't listen to online classes at home at all.

With such an explanation, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara probably understood.

They followed Tsukasa Higashino and waited for Reizo Ishikawa in the same place, and at the same time, they also looked inside Aomori Middle School from time to time, and it seemed that their interest in Ryoka Konoe was not ordinary...

While they were looking inside Aomori Middle School, there were also people on the other side who were looking at them with surprise on their faces - it was Yuika Nakamura who bumped into them when they first came to Aomori Prefecture two days ago.

Yuika Nakamura is a student at Aomori High School, but she has no intention of going to school, so this time she came to school to play with a few friends...

But what she didn't expect was... I actually met Higashino Tsukasa and Konoe Ryoka and others here.

Especially now that Yuika Nakamura and his group already know the specific situation of Tsukasa Higashino...

"Why is Higashino-sensei here?" A little girl shrank her head.

Her sentence 'Higashino Sensei' made Yuika Nakamura next to her can't help but glance at her - that's Ryoka Konoe's boyfriend, why are you called a teacher?

It's really uncompromising!

Didn't you just write a few good songs... No big deal.

Thinking so, Nakamura Yuika tilted her head and asked in a low voice: "You said that I went up and asked him for an autograph, would he give it to me?" ”

Well.

She thought for a moment.

I think it's really remarkable...
