"Higashino-san, can I buy some Kumamon merchandise with you?"

In this eager atmosphere, someone finally couldn't help but speak.

To this, Tonoji just responded with a smile: "I originally brought it as a gift to everyone. Please don't be polite and come and get some."

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the entire classroom changed again.

The students who had been paying attention to Higashinoji's situation suddenly gathered around him.

Seeing the number of people around Kumamon diminishing at an astonishing speed, Higashinoji also felt a little surprised.

But what was replaced by it was an inexplicable feeling of joy.

If Kumamon products are so popular in Tokyo, they will definitely not be left behind in other places.

This will bring a lot of benefits to Tono Division.

In this way, most of the Kumamon peripherals were distributed.

Higashinoji still has more than 20 pieces of Kumamon merchandise in his hands.

At this point, Higashikata will no longer deliver it out.

After all, there is Konoe Ryoka, and Fujiwara Aoi needs some souvenirs.

I spent the whole morning like this and went to Kita Yi-Juku for a lunch break.

Higashinoji carried this small bag of Kumamon peripherals and walked directly to Konoe Ryoka's class.

At this time, Konoe Ryoka and the others didn't know what they were talking about. They seemed very engaged and fascinated by the conversation.

Higashino didn't mean to eavesdrop, but he just took two steps closer and heard Yumi Takahashi's voice: "Hey, have you heard? Mr. Higashino came back today, and he brought a lot of Kumamon's

The surroundings...are so cute.”

She said with envy on her face, as if she hoped that Mr. Higashino would give her some Kumamon peripherals: "I just don't know if Mr. Higashino still remembers us... Well, I heard that he has divided a lot of Kumamon bears in his class.

It’s around, I don’t know if there are any more.”

"If there are still more, you can even let me buy them. The bear is so cute..."

Takahashi Yumi said in a daze.

Fujiwara Aoi on the other side also nodded in approval.

Recently, there has been a Kumamon craze in Tokyo, but the related peripherals have not been produced yet.

If you can get it in advance at this time...it is indeed synonymous with fashion and trend.

But Fujiwara Aoi soon noticed that Konoe Ryoka seemed to be a little distracted, so she patted Konoe Ryoka on the shoulder and asked her with a strange look on her face: "What's wrong with you? Ryoka?"

"Huh? I didn't do much..." Konoe Ryoka was obviously shaken by Fujiwara Aoi's slap, but she still replied in a low voice with a red face.

"That's why I said you don't know anything, shortie." Yumi Takahashi laughed: "Lianghua calls this 'Girl's Huaiqiu'. She must be thinking of Mr. Higashino!"

She had an expression on her face that she had seen through everything, but the word "dwarf" made Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but glare at her: "That's called a girl's spring! If you don't know how to use the words, don't use them randomly."

Fujiwara Aoi is already short, and she usually carries a backpack when walking on the road. People would think she is a junior high school student or an elementary school student.

"It's all the same. Anyway, I just miss Mr. Higashino."

Takahashi Yumi rubbed her head happily.

Next to her, Konoe Ryoka could only say "oh" and her face turned even redder.

She really wanted to see Higashinoji, but she couldn't lie, so her face could only get redder and redder, and she couldn't stammer out a word.

Seeing Konoe Ryoka's appearance, Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but shake her head.

Ever since Konoe Ryoka trimmed her hair, many boys in the class suddenly started to pursue Konoe Ryoka - even some boys outside the school harassed Ryoka.

Normally, she and Takahashi Yumi act as guardians... but in the end, a few of them started to pursue her and Takahashi Yumi.

This kind of operation made Aoi Fujiwara so angry that she asked Yumi Takahashi to chase these fools with a bamboo knife and beat them.

But this is not an option either.

When will the relationship between Konoe Ryoka and Higashinoji be settled as boyfriend and girlfriend?

At this moment, Yumi Takahashi, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly raised her head and looked behind Konoe Ryoka, with a surprised look on her face: "Teacher Higashino?"

ah?

Fujiwara Aoi was stunned, and then saw Higashinoji standing by the classroom door.

"Long time no see, Fujiwara-san, Takahashi-san...and Konoe-san."

Higashikata walked in and said hello to several people.

"Higashino-san..."

Konoe Ryoka was actually very happy to see Higashinoji, but she was originally not good at words. After seeing Higashinoji, she could only call his name softly, which seemed very clumsy. A shy blush appeared on her petite and cute face.

Her big, clean eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and she couldn't help but smile.

"I'm here to give you souvenirs from Kumamoto Prefecture."

Higashinoji took out a few packages of horse meat jerky from his shoulder bag, and then took out the remaining Kumamon peripherals.

"I really saw the right person! Teacher Higashino still remembers us."

When Takahashi Yumi saw horse meat jerky, she almost drooled. She completely forgot that she was talking about things surrounding Kumamon just now.

She took the dried meat in her hand, opened it one by one and stuffed it into her mouth. When she was almost done eating, she looked at the cute and adorable Kumamon. She was about to reach out for it, but Fujiwara Aoi slapped her hand away.

.

This guy is really eating the food from the pot and looking at the food in the bowl. His hands are full of oil and he still wants to pick up these little trinkets and gadgets.

"Thank you, Higashino-san." Fujiwara Aoi thanked Higashino.

Takahashi Yumi next to her also followed the same example and wanted to thank Higashinoji, but her words got stuck in the dried meat and her face suddenly turned blue.

Fortunately, Fujiwara Aoi noticed and filled her with milk in time, otherwise this girl might have become the first girl to be stuck to death by horse meat jerky.

"Thank you, Mr. Higashino." Takahashi Yumi swallowed the dried horse meat with great difficulty, and then she thanked him and wanted to shake Higashino's hand.

However, Higashinoji looked at her oily hands and smiled and said, "Takahashi-kun is still as energetic as ever."

"Haha, I've always been like this... By the way, there's also Lianghua. Where is Lianghua? Why don't you say anything."

She wiped her hands clean and still whispered: "Lianghua really wants to see Mr. Higashino."

"Really?" After hearing this, Higashinoji looked at Konoe Ryoka, who had been silent.

To be honest, Higashinoji also cares about Konoe Ryoka in Kumamoto Prefecture.

After all, the other party is half of my disciple, and I don’t know how she is doing these days...

"Higashiya-san, long time no see."

I don’t know what happened, but after meeting Higashinoji, I couldn’t turn around the lines I had been thinking about before.

Konoe Ryoka could only look at him happily and greet him quietly.

Looking at her good-looking appearance, Higashikata smiled and responded: "Well, long time no see. It's been more than two weeks. How have you been these days?"

ah...

Listening to Higashinoji's words, Konoe Ryoka could only open her mouth, then quickly lowered her head and whispered "hmm".

Seems very shy.

But in the eyes of Fujiwara Aoi, her appearance is undoubtedly that of an iron fool. Before she even said a few words, you just said 'um'? What did you say 'um'? What do you know?

Fujiwara Aoi pretended to cough: "I remember Ryoka, don't you have something else you want Higashino-san to see?"

"Huh? Oh...oh..." Konoe Ryoka nodded in a daze: "There is something..."

She plucked up a little courage and said softly to Higashinoji: "Yes, in the studio."

Just saying these few words, Konoe Ryoka seemed to have exhausted all her strength and was almost out of breath.

This made Toyoji somewhat interested.

What's in the studio...?

Is it gouache painting? That's not right. Konoe Ryoka has been practicing gouache painting for so long, and it's almost time to paint oil paintings.

At this time, Takahashi Yumi next to her rarely spoke up to help: "Teacher Higashino, you may not know that there are so many boys harassing Lianghua recently! I can't beat them all with my bamboo sword, and I beat them away one after another, one after another.

of."

She reached out and gestured with a bamboo knife to hit someone, which made Higashinoji also look amused.

Isn't this a matter of course?

Unlike in the past, Japanese high schools did not promote puppy love... In Japan in 2003, there were still wives of high school students - although they were very few.

Moreover, Konoe Ryoka is so beautiful and has a good figure, so it is strange that no high school boy pursues her.

Before he could finish his thoughts, Konoe Ryoka, who had been silent next to him, waved her hands in a panic: "Well...I, I didn't promise them."

With her panicked look, she looked like she was trying to explain something to Higashinoji.
