The next day.

Higashinoji prepared meals in the refrigerator for Higashino Chihaya and then set off directly.

His destination this time was naturally the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art in Taito District, Tokyo.

Okano Ryoko has already said hello in advance and must arrive at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art before ten o'clock.

Higashinoji didn't want to be late, so he hurried to the station and got on the bus.

It doesn’t take long to get from Adachi District to Taito District. After the train leaves Arakawa District, Higashinoji officially enters Taito District.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is located inside Ueno Park, Taito District. After getting off the train, Higashino immediately transferred to the bus, and then got off at the bus stop near Ueno Park.

Japan's roads have always been crowded, and Tokyo can be regarded as the most crowded. Higashinoji was very lucky this time, and there were basically no traffic jams along the way.

He looked again at the street clock.

It was just after 9:40, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art probably just opened.

So he was not in a hurry, and walked towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art in three steps and two steps.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum occupies a large area. Across the street from Far East Noji, I could see the female students from Hokugyijuku chatting and chatting outside the entrance of the museum.

The art studio of Kitajuku is mostly filled with girls, and they all wear school uniforms.

After all, there are people coming and going in the art museum, so even if you have a uniform as a sign, you won't get lost.

Higashinoji glanced at Konoe Ryoka in the crowd, who was holding a sketchbook and holding a pencil, looking very confused and confused.

His footsteps first stopped, then he changed direction and walked towards Konoe Ryoka.

...

To be honest, Konoe Ryoka actually doesn't like this kind of situation where people are close to each other.

It's not that she hates the excitement, it's not that she doesn't like this kind of activity of visiting art museums.

It's because there are obviously acquaintances around, but no one can say a word to me.

Even if they occasionally meet each other's eyes, the other person will just say hello "Konoe-kun" in a very polite and subtle way, and it will be over.

'You're welcome', for Konoe Ryoka, this happens to be the best word to separate the distance between them.

It seemed to others that everyone could say a few words to her, but in fact everyone was unwilling to chat with her... Everyone seemed to be separated from her by a wall, and no one could interfere with her world.

And she can't interfere with other people's world.

This is actually because she is not good at making formal remarks or complimenting others. She speaks slowly and can easily make people impatient. Over time, no one wants to talk to her.

This is the most authentic portrayal of her on this occasion.

Therefore, Konoe Ryoka would rather visit the art exhibition secretly by herself than go out with her friends in the studio.

Just when she looked embarrassed and wanted to talk to one of her classmates——

"Konoe-san, good morning."

Laughter came from behind, Konoe Ryoka turned her head, and then she saw Higashinoji smiling and waving to her, walking towards her.

Woo...

Konoe Ryoka could clearly feel the gaze from Madoka Fukushima next to her.

It was a sight full of sourness, and even Konoe Ryoka could feel the full resentment in the other person's eyes.

But when Higashinoji greeted him, she would not say nothing at all: "Good morning, Higashino-san."

"How long have you been here?" Higashinoji said hello to the other girls one by one, and after complimenting their makeup today, he turned back to ask Konoe Ryoka.

"Five, six minutes."

Konoe Ryoka lowered her head and answered.

"Oh." Higashino responded subconsciously.

Perhaps because he had just looked at the other female students in the studio with a scrutinizing gaze, the way he looked at Konoe Ryoka this time also had a somewhat scrutinizing look.

But you wouldn't know if you didn't look at it, and looking at it gave Touyoshi an inexplicable feeling.

Perhaps frightened by Higashinoji's aggressive gaze, Konoe Ryoka held her sketchbook and was about to take two steps back——

"Wait a minute." Higashinoji stopped Konoe Ryoka: "You raise your head and straighten your back."

How dare Konoe Ryoka not do as she was told? She raised her head hesitantly, then straightened her back coyly.

"..." Higashinoji.

Maybe he should take back his statement that "most high school students have tablets."

The Konoe Ryoka in front of me... is simply amazing!

Although it wasn't enough to make him dizzy, it was enough to make Higashinoji change his concept of female high school students.

Let's use a slightly vulgar adjective.

Konoe Ryoka, this is too big.

It may not be a big deal on an adult, but on a girl who is just sixteen years old, her figure is completely out of the norm.

Higashikata probably thought that she had lowered her head and curled up her waist for a long time, and had tucked in her breasts a lot. Coupled with the loose uniform, she looked very unpretentious.

Higashinoji had heard the saying "take off your clothes to look fat" in his previous life, but this was the first time he actually saw it.

He couldn't help but glance at Konoe Ryoka.

She still lowered her face, unable to see her expression clearly.

Higashikata probably couldn't see her feet clearly when she straightened her back.

But even so, Higashinoji's opinion of Konoe Ryoka has changed, but overall he still maintains his original attitude.

After all, the other party is just a high school girl - Higashinoji is not so impatient yet.

But it's big, it's really big.

Higashikata does not deny this.

"Konoe-san, why do you usually keep your waist down? Don't you look good when you stand straight?"

Higashikata asked casually.

Konoe Ryoka looked hesitant, but finally mumbled her answer:

"I...when I was practicing running at the junior high school sports festival...some seniors told me...that I was too fat..."

too fat?

Higashinoji glanced sideways at Konoe Ryoka.

If you want to say you are fat, you are indeed quite fat, but the nutrients have gone where they should go.

"Is that senior a boy or a girl?"

"girl."

"Yeah?"

Konoe Ryoka's answer made Tonoji couldn't help but laugh twice.

Isn't this just public revenge?

"Is the other person's words worth listening to for so long? Maybe he is joking?" Higashinoji thought to himself that the little thoughts between girls are really scary, and joked at the same time.

To Higashinoji's surprise, Konoe Ryoka didn't put on that naive and silly expression this time that she didn't dare to respond.

She just looked down at her toes, as if she believed the other person, and shook her head firmly:

"Probably...no."

This is the first time Higashinoji has seen Konoe Ryoka, a 'softhead', be so determined.

He couldn't help but touch his chin and deliberately asked a vicious question:

"How do you know not? Maybe the other party is just playing tricks on you?"

"Senior sister has helped me before and bought me water."

Konoe Ryoka's face turned slightly red, and it took her a long time to think of a reason.

In Higashinoji's view, this is undoubtedly very childish and also a very untenable reason.

But Konoe Ryoka relied on this reason to always trust that senior sister.

"It's just a bottle of water. Isn't it normal to buy it for a classmate who has exercised? Do you want to say that your senior sister didn't buy water for anyone else?" Higashinoji continued to ask.

"...Ah..." Konoe Ryoka opened her mouth.

She was not good at expressing herself, but when Touyesi blocked her, she didn't even know how to answer.

But Higashinoji could also see that no matter what he said, Konoe Ryoka was stubborn and had no intention of being persuaded.

Some people look very weak on the surface, but they seem to be tough in their bones - Konoe Ryoka seems to be this kind of person.

Didn't I just buy a bottle of water? As for remembering it until now...?

She is really stupid and stubborn. The key is that she has never been so stupid or stubborn when it comes to her own affairs.

Looking at Konoe Ryoka who was unwilling to bow her head for the first time, Tonoji couldn't help but laugh twice.
