Chapter 61. To prepare the vertical
"Higashiya..." Asami looked at Higashinoji who came out in disbelief, her face full of surprise.
She actually caught a glimpse of her ex-boyfriend Higashino Tsukasa just now, but this was the studio of Kitajuku and there were basically no boys, so she thought she was mistaken.
So Asami was stunned for a moment, full of doubts.
Why is he here? He doesn't know how to paint. Does he also know sculpture or calligraphy?
Don't have this impression...?
She was completely stunned.
Perhaps in her heart, Asami was still a little reluctant to believe that her boyfriend, who she had just broken up with, still had these unique skills.
"Hello, classmate Jianzhong." Higashinoji came over and said hello with a smile, his behavior was quite generous.
It was in sharp contrast to Asami's slightly embarrassed and confused expression.
"Higashino-san?" Aiko Kijo naturally still remembered this boy who had made her feel inexplicably deflated. In order to take care of Asami Mamanaka's mood, she took the initiative to answer on behalf of Asami Mamanaka.
Moving on to the main topic, Kijo Aiko looked at Higashinoji suspiciously, but she didn't say anything to stop him: "Higashino-san just said 'you can', right?"
To this, Toyoshi just smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"So what Higashino-kun said is okay?" Aiko Kijo asked politely.
She must at least know whether Higashinoji knows sculpture or calligraphy, right?
As for Higashino knowing both...? This seems unlikely.
"I know a little bit about both calligraphy and sculpture." Higashinoji just answered truthfully: "I don't think there is any student in Kita Gym who knows more than me."
"...Really?" Kijo Aiko was stunned by the other party's words, and it took three or four seconds to recover.
There is no student in Beiyi School who knows better than him? Isn’t this too much to say?
But it’s impossible for Higashinoji to jump out and play with himself...
So Aiko Kijo couldn't help but glance at Asami Mamanaka, the meaning in her eyes was very simple - had Higashinoji been so omnipotent before?
In response to this, Asami also looked back at Aiko Kijo with a confused look on her face, while shaking her head to express that she was not sure.
Yes...Has my boyfriend ever been so versatile before?
Looking at Higashinoji's pretty and handsome profile, Asami felt more and more strange as she looked at him.
"Is there no problem, Higashino-san?" Just when Aiko Kijo and Asami Mamanaka didn't quite understand, Ryouko Okano next to him suddenly asked Higashinoji.
"I don't think there's much of a problem."
Higashikata replied cheerfully.
"Since Higashino-san said so, it shouldn't be a big problem, Mamanaka-san and Kijo-san."
After getting the answer, Ryoko Gangno turned to look at Asami Mamanaka and Aiko Kijo.
"Yeah...?"
Sensing the confidence in Ryoko Okano's words, Asami suddenly felt a little confused.
She looked at her ex-boyfriend, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart - could it be that Higashinoji really could do it?
But before she could come to her senses, Aiko Kijo beside her had already nodded:
"Excuse me, Mr. Higashino, do you have time now? We want to talk to you in detail about the art festival exhibits."
"If you have time, please wait for me for a moment while I pack my things." Higashikata replied calmly.
He quickly packed up the things he left behind, carried his bag and said hello to Ryoko Okano, and then followed Aiko Kijo and Asami Mamanaka out.
As soon as Higashinoji left, there was a huge commotion in the studio.
"Do you know how to carve, Higashino-san? Can you also calligraphy?"
"Isn't this too awesome? Oil painting, sculpture, calligraphy... he can do everything! Is there anything he can't do? Give birth to children?"
"Yes, they are all students in the studio, how come he knows everything?"
"And that Asami Inaka, I heard that she is Higashino-san's ex-girlfriend, right? Is it possible that she is rekindling?"
That's right, these little girls in the studio didn't know that Higashinoji could do this. In addition, he was going out on behalf of their art department at Hokuei Junior High School, so naturally they were a little excited.
They were chattering and discussing excitedly, and even Konoe Ryoka couldn't help but eavesdrop.
Asami Mamanaka...?Higashino-san’s ex-girlfriend?
She was fascinated by what she heard, her little face was dazed and she didn't know what she was thinking.
...
Not far out of the studio, Aiko Kijo stopped, then looked at Higashinoji who was following him, and asked patiently:
"Before explaining, I would like to ask, Higashino-kun, do you really know sculpture or calligraphy?"
Before Higashino could answer, Aiko Kijo added: "There are no classmates from the studio here. If Higashino stood up because he saw Asami in trouble, then you don't have to worry about anyone hearing her when you get here.
"
Yes, Kijo Aiko did not completely believe that Higashino Shizhen knew calligraphy and engraving.
But the other party was willing to stand up in the situation just now, and Aiko Kijo was actually quite touched, so she wanted to find a place to explain things clearly without hurting Higashinoji's face.
Are you trying to be brave just for me?
Asami Mamanaka, who was walking next to Aiko Kijo, raised her head, a little unbelievable.
Could it be that Dongye saw me in trouble and stepped forward to help me? In fact, he doesn’t understand sculpture or calligraphy at all?
Now that I think about it, it's indeed possible...but...
In the meantime, Asami looked at Higashinoji's face.
The other party's unimaginable calmness made her always feel that it was not what Aiko Kijo said.
Under the gazes of Kijo Aiko and Mamanaka Asami, Higashinoji replied happily: "Don't worry, Kijo-senpai, I'm not trying to be brave. I'm good at carving and calligraphy."
After saying that, he smiled and waved his hand: "This is your job, I can't do it perfunctorily."
Where did this Mujo Aiko think of going?
And for Asami Mamanaka?
As mentioned before, if it weren't for the fact that Ryoko Okano had taken good care of him in the past few weeks, Tonoji wouldn't have bothered to participate in such a pointless thing.
"Really...?" Aiko Kijo heard Higashinoji's answer and nodded, indicating that she no longer had any doubts.
After all, what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.
It would be perfect for her that Higashinoji really knew how to carve and calligraphy. If he didn't know how to do it...she, Aiko Kijo, couldn't argue with an ordinary student, right?
"Since Higashino-kun knows everything, without further ado, let's prepare the vertical brushes we need to use. The brushes and ink as well as the vertical cloth strips we need to use are all ready-made at the calligraphy department."
Aiko Mujo leads the way.
"Okay." Higashino nodded with a smile, without showing any sign of wavering.
It's not difficult to write vertical characters, and Higashinoji is confident that he can write well.
The most important thing is carving. Stone carving takes up a lot of time, and now there is only half a month left...
Higashinoji silently decided in his heart the type of sculpture he wanted to carve.
