"By the way, Lianghua, do you want to go to the studio now?"

Takahashi Yumi, who was packing her things next to her, raised her head and asked Konoe Ryoka, who had already stood up.

"Huh? Ah...well, I have to go to the studio."

Konoe Ryoka was stunned for a moment, then nodded and answered.

"Just in time, please help me bring something to Mr. Higashino." Takahashi Yumi said with a smile.

Among the trio, she is the quickest to be a traitor. She used to call Higashinoji a 'despicable villain, a scumbag who deceived the innocent Ryoka', but now she has become 'Teacher Higashino'.

This change made Fujiwara Aoi next to her unable to see it, and he reached out and patted her head hard.

"What are you doing?!"

Takahashi Yumi, who was about to get something, raised her head and looked at Fujiwara Aoi dissatisfied: "You damn dwarf always takes advantage of me to pat my head when I lower my head. Do you think you can't pat me when I raise my head?"

As she spoke, she raised her head half-way, with a majestic and high-spirited expression.

Fujiwara Aoi almost got mad at her words about rubbing salt water on the knife.

She said with a 'poof': "You pighead, are you already planning to betray me? If I don't teach you a lesson, I feel like you are going to sell Lianghua in the next second. And you even called 'Teacher Higashino'?

"

This guy was the one who shouted loudest in the front, saying he wanted to defeat Higashinoji.

As a result, this bastard immediately betrayed the organization and even called 'Teacher Higashino'.

"What do you mean by selling Ryoka? I think Ryoka is also quite interested in Tonoji." Yumi Takahashi asked Konoe Ryoka confidently: "Isn't that right? Ryoka?"

"Ah? Oh..."

Konoe Ryoka obviously didn't expect that this fire would suddenly ignite on her. When faced with Takahashi Yumi's question, she hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"And 'Mr. Higashino' is a name in the industry. "Midnight Ring" is so popular that many newspapers are praising him. This is a name in the industry. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Yumi Takahashi looked like "I am very professional", which made Aoi Fujiwara next to her feel jealous.

But she didn't know how to refute Takahashi Yumi.

After all, everything Takahashi Yumi said is true. "Midnight Ring" was indeed praised by many media magazines, and many authors even called Higashino Tsukasa "the rising star of the horror comic industry"...

Second grade? Very good!

However, in the eyes of Japanese people, titles of this level can only be said to be commonplace, not to mention middle school.

"What do you want to give Higashino-san?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Konoe Ryoka took the initiative to mediate. She asked Takahashi Yumi.

"It's a broken screen from our TV set."

As Takahashi Yumi spoke, she took out a small piece of debris from her shoulder bag and looked quite excited: "Our TV is an old model from the past. I wanted to get a new TV, so I turned on the TV to show it to my mother.

After watching "The Ring", we installed a new TV in our house."

At this time, Fujiwara Aoi next to her curled her lips and added: "I don't know who fled to my house, but Aunt Takahashi almost beat your fat ass to pieces."

Takahashi Yumi looked at her in disbelief, obviously not expecting that her best friend and best friend would sell herself out so happily.

"...Deserved it." Fujiwara Aoi added.

"Okay, you stinky dwarf..."

Takahashi Yumi was so angry that she was stabbed in a sore spot, and even refused to give the pieces to Konoe Ryoka, and was ready to have a fight with Fujiwara Aoi.

"I, I understand, do you want to give this to Higashino-san? I understand."

Seeing that the two seemed to be about to quarrel, Konoe Ryoka opened her mouth, clumsily took the screen fragments, and made a serious promise.

"Lianghua, don't listen to this idiot."

Fujiwara Aoi was anxious.

Let’s not talk about Higashinoji’s things for now... The most important thing is, what’s the point of giving away a fragmented TV screen?

Don't let Konoe Ryoka be bullied by Higashinoji again.

"Don't be afraid. People like Mr. Higashino will definitely have quirks. Seeing readers trembling with fear from him might make him even happier."

Next to her, Yumi Takahashi started analyzing Higashinoji again.

"Nonsense."

Fujiwara Aoi has already had a certain degree of awareness of her best friend's random analysis. After retorting, she looked at Konoe Ryoka: "Ryuka, please ignore her..."

"It's okay." Konoe Ryoka shook her head.

Since she agreed to Yumi Takahashi, she will definitely fulfill this request.

only...

How to send broken TV screen?

Konoe Ryoka didn't quite understand either, so she could only think about walking in the direction of the studio.

Watching Konoe Ryoka leave, Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but look at Takahashi Yumi. The meaning was simple - now that it has become like this, it depends on what you do.

But who is Yumi Takahashi who cares about this kind of thing?

Seeing that Konoe Ryoka agreed to her request, she was less angry with Fujiwara Aoi. She also took out the latest issue of "Aversion to Cold" she bought today from her shoulder bag: "Good Aoi, I bought "Aversion to Cold".

"The latest issue of "I haven't read it yet. Come to my house tonight and we will read it together."

Today is the day when the new issue of "Abominable Cold" is released, and the second episode of "Midnight Ring" by Higashino Tsukasa will naturally be published on it.

"You still want to watch it?!" Fujiwara Aoi opened her mouth wide and looked incredulous: "Have you forgotten that you didn't dare to go to the toilet alone at night after watching "The Ring" for a week?"

Takahashi Yumi is really the type who remembers the beating but not the pain.

She was tortured like that by "Midnight Ring" last time, and she will torture herself again this week.

Standard people are very addicted.

"There's nothing I can do. Aoi, aren't you curious about the subsequent plot development?" Yumi Takahashi chuckled twice.

"You will call me Aoi at this time." Fujiwara Aoi curled her lips.

But when Takahashi Yumi said this, she actually felt itchy in her heart.

Indeed, she really wants to see the follow-up development of "Midnight Ring". What will happen to Tomoko and Tomoko? Will Higashino Tsukasa's "Midnight Ring" be classified as mediocre? So many media and magazines have praised it.

If I don't draw well this time...

"There's nothing we can do about you." Fujiwara Aoi shook her head and pretended not to care: "Then I'll go to your house tonight. But I want to say one thing, don't call me when you go to the toilet at night, I want to sleep.

.”

"Am I that kind of person? Don't you still believe me?"

After asking two consecutive questions, Takahashi Yumi patted her chest while answering, with a look of assurance on her face.

This look made Aoi Fujiwara even more worried.

This guy will definitely ask me to go to the bathroom with her tonight.

absolute.

.......

the other side.

Konoe Ryoka lowered her head, and her mind was still thinking about how to hand over the piece of TV screen fragment in her hand to Higashinoji.

"That's what it should be."

Konoe Ryoka mustered up the courage and handed out the fragments of the TV screen with both hands like a rehearsal——

"This is for you, Higashino-san."

Then.

"Ah? Oh...it's Konoe-san. I'll take it. But Konoe-san, I can't free my hands for the moment. Can you put the things in my shoulder bag?"

Accompanied by a familiar voice, Konoe Ryoka's heart skipped a beat, and then she raised her head carefully.

In front of me is someone looking at me with a smile on his face...
