That cute look made Touyoshi couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, and then said with a smile:

"Well... I know Konoe-san didn't agree to them. But I have to go to the principal's office next to cancel the leave request record, so I'll take my leave now."

Higashinoji nodded to Takahashi Yumi and Fujiwara Aoi, smiled emphatically and said a few words to Konoe Ryoka before turning around and leaving.

really.

Ryuichi Yoshimine has to meet Higashinoji on his side, so he can't stay here forever.

Watching Higashinoji leave, Konoe Ryoka subconsciously touched the top of her head.

Then he pursed his lips quietly and laughed.

Even Takahashi Yumi could tell that Konoe Ryoka was very happy.

Regardless of the matter of Higashinoji coming back.

It was still the matter that Higashinoji just reached out and touched her head.

It didn't take long to go to Ryuichi Yoshimine's office to cancel his leave request. As soon as Tonoji entered, Ryuichi Yoshimine greeted him warmly.

There's no way...Higashinoji can be considered very popular in Kitajuku.

After all, Kitajuku is a private school, and everything is focused on profit.

With the popularity of Higashinoji's design of Kumamon Bear and the achievement of double gold medals at the Youth Painting Awards, it will be particularly easy for Kita Gym to recruit new students in the coming year.

Therefore, Ryuichi Yoshimine not only canceled Higashinoji's leave record, but also guaranteed that this year's tuition fees would be fully refunded. Higashinoji would not even have to pay tuition fees next year, and everything would be arranged by the school.

He also promised that if Higashino Chihaya returns to school in the future, he will also receive such treatment - it can be said that he is full of sincerity.

You must know that this tuition fee is not a small amount of money.

Kita Gym is not a famous school in Tokyo, but it can be regarded as a middle-class private school.

Of course, the tuition fees are not cheap. The annual tuition fees range from more than 900,000 yen to over 1 million yen, which is equivalent to one-third of the annual salary of an ordinary office worker in Tokyo.

This is also why some people in Japan stop studying after high school and enter the society instead - the ultimate reason is that their families cannot afford it.

However, Higashikata is actually not short of money recently.

"Midnight Ring" was a hit, Kumamon's image was hot, plus the original manuscript fees for "The Lonely Gourmet" and the original manuscript fees for "Midnight Ring"...

Higashinoji's savings total more than 10 million yen...

The sales of the 200,000 single copies of "The Ring" alone were 8 million yen (without tax).

This also made Touyoshi sigh inexplicably.

Sure enough, the sales of single volumes are one of the main sources of comics authors.

This kind of huge profit is simply amazing.

With money in hand, Higashinoji naturally started to think about something.

He was wondering whether to move to Meguro District, which has better security, or to get a loan to Chiyoda District to get the down payment for a house.

But that's just a thought.

Higashikata thought about it for a while and then gave up.

Firstly, it was because he did not want to go into debt for consumption, and secondly, it was mainly because of Higashino Chihaya.

Now staying in Adachi Ward, Higashino Chihaya's condition is becoming stable. Last time Higashino took her to see a doctor, the doctor also told her not to make any big changes for the time being, so as not to irritate Higashino Chihaya.

The surrounding neighbors also take good care of the Higashino family.

What if the environment changes and Chihaya Higashino's condition becomes serious... then what?

As for hiring an escort... Higashinoji has also thought about this before. Firstly, Higashino Chihaya is afraid of strangers and does not dare to come into contact with strangers. Secondly, he does not know what kind of person he invites back. If he abuses Higashino Chihaya, it will lead to

She is more autistic...then it is even more unnecessary.

Just like that... Higashinoji's thoughts wandered all afternoon, and he didn't pay much attention to the lecture at all.

After the school bell rang, Higashinoji carried his backpack and walked towards the studio with some remaining Kumamon peripherals.

I have to say that the Kumamon surroundings in the morning were indeed very lethal.

In the past, almost no one in the class would talk to Higashinoji, but now there are always people who take the initiative to say hello to him when he walks on the street.

Since it can play a role in building a good relationship, Toyoji will not be stingy.

Anyway, there are still a lot of cheap bear peripherals at home...

With this thought in mind, Higashinoji walked into the studio of Kitajuku.

Then... he saw Konoe Ryoka, who was looking at the canvas in front of her seriously and using her brush to paint.

Higashinoji curiously approached Konoe Ryoka and looked at her.

It was an oil painting with an orange-red background...

The park is shrouded in the warm glow of the setting sun, with orange shadows...a young man with a side face smiling.

Although the brushwork is still very rough, there are some flaws that can be seen with the naked eye.

but--

"Isn't this me?"

Looking at the young man with a side face on the screen, Higashino held his chin.

yes...

Isn't this him?

but...

"Konoe-san, you made me look too ugly, right? I should be more handsome. I am definitely more handsome."
