..The second day of exchange and learning passed like this.

Konoe Ryoka seemed to have learned a lot from Kuromiya Akisa. As soon as she got on the bus, she chatted a lot with Higashinoji, mostly about the techniques Kuromiya Akisa taught her.

But something doesn't sound right to Higashinoji... Why is Akisa Kuromiya so interested in teaching Konoe Ryoka?

Although he recommended Kuromiya Meisa to Konoe Ryoka, he just felt that Kuromiya Meisa was really good at painting and there was no problem teaching Konoe Ryoka...

But why is Akisa Kuromiya so responsible? It’s absolutely fine to teach her step by step.

Higashinoji was a little confused about the specific situation, so he asked Konoe Ryoka.

"I, I don't know what's going on..." Konoe Ryoka touched her head and was very confused. Her treatment could indeed be regarded as the level of a disciple who entered the house.

She also watched the other Musashimi students, but none of them were as serious as Akisa Kuromiya.

"Don't you have any other impressions?" Higashinoji pondered and asked Konoe Ryoka again.

This time the tone was a little stronger and a little more oppressive.

Konoe Ryoka has this kind of personality, soft and a bit dull at ordinary times, like a spring. If you don't press it, squeeze it, or rub it, you won't be able to tell anything.

As expected.

After hearing Higashinoji's somewhat serious question, Konoe Ryoka immediately lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "I'll think about it again, Higashi, Higashino-san, don't worry..."

She lowered her head and touched her head gently, and then she seemed to think of something.

"Kuromiya-senpai seems to have always cared about your sketchbook, Higashino-san... and she also seems to be a little concerned about my drawing posture..."

Konoe Ryoka carefully said what she thought was strange about Kuromiya Akisa.

But she was worried that the result she said would not satisfy Touyesi, so she could only lower her head and glance over here from time to time, as if she was willing to fight or suffer.

Her appearance made Tonoji laugh for a while, but at this time, he did not continue to tease Konoe Ryoka, but just pondered her words.

Care about my sketchbook? Care about Konoe Ryoka's drawing posture...?

Well...

An idea that was not very realistic, but Higashino felt a little bit reasonable, came to mind.

Does Akisa Kuromiya want to be better than herself in teaching people to draw?

After all, Konoe Ryoka is considered half of his apprentice.

And Akisa Kuromiya has always been obsessed with surpassing herself...

Higashikata thought about it and felt that it was really possible.

Otherwise, why would Akisa Kuromiya be so dedicated?

It's just that the motivation for teaching people step by step is too... too cute, right?

Recalling Akisa Kuromiya's demure and plain appearance...the contrast is indeed a bit indescribable.

Is Akisa Kuromiya so persistent in distinguishing herself from others?

Higashikata shook his head, and then couldn't help but smile.

This is indeed a very childish reason.

But if you think about it carefully, Akisa Kuromiya is also a college student, so naturally you can't expect her to be too mature.

In fact, this immaturity is also a unique quality of college students.

Higashikata smiled.

Since Akisa Kuromiya wants to compare with herself so much, then she might as well stay with her.

Otherwise, I might not be able to draw well if my mind is so stuck.

But before that...

I'm going to send Higashino Chihaya to have a physical check-up tomorrow.

Higashino took out a breath. He, who had always been calm, was now a little nervous.

...

The days with worries always pass quickly, and time quickly comes to the next day.

Higashinoji took Higashino Chihaya out early in the morning.

He didn't save money to take the train...after all, he brought Chihaya Higashino with him, and Higashinoji wasn't short of money either.

So as soon as he left home, Higashino stopped a taxi and took Higashino Chihaya towards the hospital.

Along the way, Chihaya Higashino kept asking Higashinoji when he could eat, and Higashinoji always answered with a smile.

Chihaya Higashino is a comprehensive examination of both physical and mental status.

According to the hospital, it is necessary to check whether Chihaya Higashino's mental state has deteriorated every month and whether the deterioration will affect her physical condition.

So Chihaya Higashino couldn't eat in the morning and could only drink water.

"Hello, Mr. Higashino." The female doctor wearing glasses came over and shook Higashino's hand.

"Hello."

Higashikata also nodded.

This is Chihaya Higashino's attending doctor, Asuka Koizumi, who is the doctor in charge of mental illness. Next, she will personally check Chihaya Higashino's mental condition.

As for why it's not a male doctor...

That's because Higashino Chihaya is a little scared of getting along with unfamiliar people of the opposite sex. If she were a doctor of the same sex, her fear would be much reduced - you can see this by referring to the incident of Hosokawa Koharu coming to pick up the manuscript.

Moreover, this Dr. Koizumi was almost an acquaintance of Chihaya Higashino. She smiled and said hello to Chihaya Higashino: "Hello, Miss Higashino. Let's do the same thing today. Come in and play some question-and-answer games with me."

Chihaya Higashino looked at Koizumi Asuka, then looked back at Higashinoji, then she hummed and followed Koizumi Asuka into the consulting room.

Watching Higashino Chihaya enter the consulting room, Higashinoji also found a seat outside to sit down.

At this time, Higashinoji felt that he didn't need to panic too much.

His expression was very calm, he shook his legs slightly, and from time to time he took out his mobile phone and stuffed it into his pocket. His eyes seemed to be looking around, but if you look carefully, you will find that his eyes seemed to have been stopped in front of the clinic door.

There's really no need to panic...

Higashikata thought about it, his feet shaking even harder.

About half an hour later, the door to the clinic opened, and Asuka Koizumi came out with Chihaya Higashino.

Higashinoji immediately stood up and went to greet him. While touching Higashino Chihaya's little head, he asked again: "Dr. Koizumi, how is my sister's condition?"

"Hmm...Has Ms. Higashino taken any medicine recently?" Asuka Koizumi glanced at the form in his hand, raised his head and asked Higashino.

The medicine she was talking about was a type of neuroleptic drug that she came to prescribe almost once a month for Higashino Chihaya.

But recently, Chihaya Higashino's symptoms have become very mild, so Higashinoji rarely takes medicine anymore.

After all, drugs will have more or less negative effects on the body.

"My sister hasn't taken medicine for two months." Higashino answered truthfully.

"Really...?" Koizumi Asuka raised his head and glanced at Higashino Chihaya, then looked at the calm and steady Higashino Tsukasa in front of him, feeling a little sigh in his heart for no reason.

As the attending physician, she naturally knew about Higashinoji's current family situation in order to understand the cause of the disease.

Under such circumstances, Higashinoji could still remain calm and calm... There is really nothing to say about this psychological quality.

"Miss Higashino's condition has stabilized...more strictly speaking, she has actually entered the 'recovery period'."

Koizumi Asuka did not deliberately sell out, but directly stated the conclusion: "If we only look at the mental test... the conclusion is probably this, but Mr. Higashino, don't be too happy too early. The specific results will not be known until the physical examination is done."

OK."

Yes, if the physical condition worsens, it can only mean that Chihaya Higashino's mental state is still unstable.

Only when both are stable and normal, then Chihaya Higashino has truly entered the recovery stage.

"I understand, Doctor Koizumi, please excuse me." Tonoji took a deep breath and nodded his thanks: "Then we will follow the usual steps for physical examination."

"You're welcome, Mr. Higashino, these are all what I should do." Koizumi Asuka smiled, waved his hand, touched Higashino Chihaya's head, and then went back.

"Aji... Do I still need to go for a check-up?" Chihaya Higashino pulled the corner of Higashinoji's clothes.

Let her stay alone with others... She really feels a little uneasy.

"Well, don't be afraid, I will be by your side for the next inspection."

"...Yeah." Chihaya Higashino nodded obediently and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Higashinoji is by his side...then this won't be a big problem...

The next thing will be much easier to handle.

It's nothing more than the routine physical routine - height and weight, blood pressure, blood routine, urine routine, liver function, kidney function, blood sugar and blood lipids, hepatitis B two and a half, B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray...

Among this set of examinations, what Chihaya Higashino was most afraid of was the blood draw. Even though Higashinoji was right next to her, holding her hand, she was in tears at the end and looked extremely pitiful.

That look made Higashino feel a little distressed.

But this is for the sake of Chihaya Higashino, so I have to accept it.
To be continued...
