Chapter 10. Tokyo National Youth Painting Awards

Higashinoji obviously doesn't know what Hosotani Koharu has been through over the past two days.

But since news has come from over there, it means there is still some hope.

He walked out the door in a relaxed mood, and even the apartment manager outside who liked to yell all the time was very pleased with his appearance.

Tokyo, Japan, 2003.

There is no WIFI or smartphones in this era.

Japan has just emerged from the impact of the Asian financial crisis in 1997, and everything feels shaky and hollow.

It took Higashinoji, a person who traveled through time in 2020, more than ten days to adapt to Tokyo in 2003.

He was walking on the side of the slope, and from time to time, high school girls with dyed hair passed by him, with childish pride on their faces with exaggerated makeup like monsters.

This Shibuya trend has been popular in Japan for a long time in the early 21st century.

In Japan in 2003, high school girls wearing folded bubble stockings, dyed hair, and shiny nails with diamonds on their hands could be seen in the streets and alleys.

High school girls pursue adult behavior and desperately try to make themselves more mature.

The result is this nondescript appearance.

But these Japanese girls don't know it yet and think it is a trend and very fashionable.

So ‘make the same mistake again and again’.

In my memory, the Shibuya trend seemed to be even more popular in 2004.

But to be honest, Higashinoji doesn't understand what's so good about the heavy makeup of this ghost painting.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind.

The school that Higashinoji is going to is called Kitajuku Private High School, and the students simply call it Kitajuku.

As a well-known private school in the surrounding area, Kitajuku High School has sufficient teachers and rich teaching equipment.

This school is famous for its arts and sports students, including music and art students, who have won the National High School Youth Award.

I heard that the judo school at Kita Kyijuku is aiming for the national competition recently, and it is considered a famous school in Meguro District.

The original owner had good grades in school and was considered very popular with women due to his handsome face.

However, since the Higashino family suffered a serious disaster and Higashino Chihaya suffered from mental illness, those girls who initially clung to the original owner were like flies and avoided him.

After all, for these little girls who are somewhat vain, suddenly there is a mentally retarded sister in the 'boyfriend's family... who can bear this?

But Higashinoji didn't care either.

Without these high school ‘tablets’ hanging around next to me, I feel at ease.

As for why it’s a tablet...? Isn’t it obvious? How good a figure do you expect from a high school student?

Most of the girls’ figures in Japanese cartoons are deceptive. If you don’t believe it, you can find a Chinese high school and take a look inside——

Hey, aren't we all using tablets? There is no situation where Japanese girls are so much better developed than Chinese girls.

When he arrived at the classroom, the sweltering heat that hit him made Tonoji couldn't help but squint his eyes.

It's summer now, not to mention it's hot in Tokyo, there's a bit of moisture in the air.

Coupled with the thirty people in the classroom, everyone exhaled and exhaled together, and the whole body felt stuffy, with an indescribable feeling.

The key is that the electric fans in his Class A classroom have collectively declared a strike. The three shiny electric fan blades are shaking and turning, and the squeaking sound is disturbing.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Tonoji could feel the eyes poking at him from all directions.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Chihaya Higashino was also considered a celebrity in Kitajuku before. After all, she was very beautiful.

Later, after she suffered from mental illness, many people used her as a source of conversation after dinner, and the look in Higashinoji's eyes gave her an inexplicable psychological advantage.

Higashikata apparently didn't care about these looks.

He came to his seat and was about to sit down——

"Hey, Dong Ye, someone just wanted to ask you something."

Someone from behind patted Higashinoji on the shoulder.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Gohara-san, I don't know which classmate it is?" Higashinoji asked.

The boy in front of me is named Hou Yuanzhong. He wears big glasses and is upright. He has a good relationship with the original owner. Although he is not a best friend, he can be regarded as a first-class friend.

When he first traveled through time, Higashi Yesi got a lot of information about the original owner out of him.

"It's your girlfriend...that classmate from Class B in the first year. She asked you to go to the back of the teaching building at noon."

Hou Yuanzhong glanced at Higashikata, hesitated for a while, then came closer and said, "I want to tell you something, Higashino. Your girlfriend probably came here to break up with you this time."

"Ah?" Higashinoji was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Really?"

He knew that the original owner had a girlfriend.

However, this month he has been busy getting familiar with the new environment and has no time to pay attention to this girlfriend.

So he left the other party alone for a month, and Houyuan would almost forget about him if he didn't mention it.

Higashinoji was cheerful and looked extremely happy.

Of course he won't be unhappy.

Higashinoji has long passed the age where "first love equals lifelong love", and he also has a very open mind about emotional matters.

It's also the other person's right to want to break up.

All the pretentiousness, crying, heartbreak... these things have nothing to do with him at all.

After all, there is also Higashino's problem here. He left the other party alone for a month for no reason. It is quite normal for the other party to want to break up.

But Hou Yuanzhong didn't know this, and was baffled by his cheerful appearance.

No...your girlfriend is about to break up with you, why are you still so cheerful and gloating about your misfortune? It's as if my girlfriend is about to break up with me?

wrong!

Hou Yuanzhong suddenly realized.

He probably understood.

Higashino probably didn't want to see his sad side.

After all, once we break up in high school, we will never see each other again.

well!!!

Hou Yuanzhong sighed heavily in his heart, and reached out to pat Higashinoji on the shoulder: "I understand. I will treat you to something to eat when Higashikata comes out when you have some free time after school."

"I have something to do after school."

Higashikata waved his hand.

He was telling the truth. He wanted to bring Chihaya Higashino to the school, which would definitely require approval from the school.

Of course, this approval will not be easy. It is impossible for the principal to open this back door for Toyoshi.

However, I recently heard that there is a national high school youth art appreciation event in Tokyo, which is quite valuable.

After all, Kitajuku is a school for arts and sports, and it attaches great importance to external honors.

If Higashinoji can directly cut off the gold reward, he might be able to have some say in negotiating Higashino Chihaya's affairs.

He will go to the principal's office at noon today. If everything goes well, he will go to the art room in the afternoon.

As a former professional painter who has held several exhibitions, Higashinoji probably has no problem winning the gold medal.

But Hou Yuanzhong understood again and felt that he had been dumped and just wanted to be alone and quiet.

He sighed "heavily" in front of Higashinoji again, patted Higashinoji on the shoulder, his face changed, he smiled, turned around and called his girlfriend, asking her if she was going to eat this afternoon.

Higashinoji ignored Goharachu's show-off action and just planned the day's action plan in his mind.

First of all, I went to the back of the teaching building at noon to quickly deal with emotional issues.

Then go to the principal's office and discuss with the principal about Chihaya Higashino.
Chapter completed!
