"Third-year Class A student Higashinoji won a double gold medal?! Or was it the double gold medal for the adult and student categories?"

Ryuichi Yoshimine was still wiping the small trophies and the glass cabinets containing the award certificates in the principal's office, but when he got the news, he couldn't help but stop the movements of his hands.

"No way..."

Yoshimine Takashi thought of Higashinoji who would visit the principal's office from time to time, and muttered.

Ryuichi Yoshimine didn't think Ryoko Okano would joke with him about this kind of thing, but...

"Did you really get a gold reward? And it was a double gold reward."

He had previously thought that Higashino joined the art club just to goof around.

As a result, things changed and Higashinoji really got the gold reward?

And it’s a double gold reward?

Ryuichi Yoshimine felt as if he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky, and he was a little dizzy.

If Higashinoji had only received the gold medal for the student category, or simply the gold medal for the adult category...then he wouldn't have had such a big mood swing.

After all, as the principal of the North Free School, he also knows some geniuses in the field of art.

But the double gold reward...

Ryuichi Yoshimine was a little speechless at this point.

After all, in his impression, there was no real double gold medal winner in the entire history of the Tokyo Youth Art Prize, and this was the first time he had seen one.

Perhaps it was because Yoshimine Ryuichi had been silent, so Okano Ryoko over there couldn't help but ask him: "Principal Yoshimine? What do you think we will do at the award ceremony for Higashino-san and Fukushima-san tomorrow night?"

ah?

What should I do? Do I know what to do?

Ryuichi Yoshimine never thought that Higashinoji would get a gold reward, let alone a double gold reward.

However, Ryuichi Yoshimine, as the principal of Kita Yoijuku, is also very smart. He did not think for too long, and when he came to his senses, he answered: "Just follow the usual steps. The school will put up a vertical banner to congratulate you, and roll your name and praise at the morning meeting.

..As for the award ceremony, let Higashino-san and Fukushima-san take a break tomorrow, and the school will prepare dresses, make-up, and transportation for them."

After all, Higashinoji is a student of Kitajuku and has won a double gold medal, so it is a good opportunity for publicity.

The more students like Higashinoji in a private high school like Kita Kyijuku, the better the reputation of Kita Kyijuku will be, and the more candidates will come to take the exam the following year. If there are more candidates, the money that Kita Kyijuku will make will be less.

More.

This has a chain effect.

So traditionally, these are all organized by the school, in order to make the award-winning students feel a sense of belonging to Hoku Yi Juku.

"Okay, I understand. I'm going to inform Higashino-san and Fukushima-san right away."

Gangno Ryoko responded,

Ryuichi Yoshimine hung up the phone, sat down and couldn't help but stand up, as if there were thorns on the sofa.

He stood for a while, then seemed to think of something, and took out a piece of information: "I didn't expect that this document would be really useful."

The document in Ryuichi Yoshimine's hand is the document regarding Chihaya Higashino's resumption of school.

After all, Higashinoji had asked him for this matter before, and although he never agreed, Ryuichi Yoshimine was actually interested.

It's just that there is no stamp on the document, so it is considered waste paper if someone takes it away.

But now Higashinoji has received a double gold reward... If he comes to request again... then the situation will be different.

Yoshimoto Takashi touched his chin, but still shook his head in disbelief and muttered to himself: "I can actually get the gold reward back."

He sighed inexplicably, then took out the official seal of Hokuei Juku School from the drawer, and stamped the document without much thought.

After all, he is a student who won a double gold medal at the Tokyo Youth Art Award when he was a high school student.

Ryuichi Yoshimine was quite willing to sell favors to the other party.

Just think of it as an investment.

...

What happens next is very simple.

The next day, Higashinoji was dragged by Okano Ryoko to rent a dress and put on makeup. By the time everything was done, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

"I will have someone pick you up around half past six, Higashino-kun."

Okano Ryoko was sitting in the car and said to Higashinoji who had changed into a black and white dress.

Although the award ceremony is held at eight o'clock, according to the procedure, the winners still need to enter half an hour in advance, so it is okay to arrive a little earlier.

"Okay, I understand. I'd like to thank Mr. Okano for taking care of me all the time. I really appreciate it." Higashino thanked him.

Ryoko Okano really took good care of him in the studio. Not only did he allow him to come and go freely, but he also gave him a lot of freedom. At least when he saw Higashinoji drawing manga drafts, he turned a blind eye.

.

"I didn't do anything. At most I just didn't interfere with your creation." Ryoko Okano laughed loudly: "Achieving this result depends on your own efforts, Higashino-kun."

She has always been a person with a clear position. She knows that she can't teach Higashinoji anything, so she basically doesn't say a word about what Higashinoji does in the studio.

After all...it's normal for a genius to have some quirks that ordinary people can't understand.

"But I still want to thank Teacher Gangno." Higashinoji said, bowing to her quite solemnly.

It is a good habit to never forget your teacher's kindness, and at least Toyoshi will not lose this good habit.

Even though Ryoko Okano may be inferior to him in terms of painting attainments, the respect that should be given to the teacher profession, Higashinoji will never fall behind.

"Well..."

Looking at Higashinoji's solemn expression, Okano Ryoko opened his mouth, then smiled, and gently rubbed his eyelids with his fingers: "Okay, come up quickly, Higashino-kun, didn't you say you had something to pick up?"

She was inexplicably moved.

"Okay." Higashikata didn't stay, smiled at her and waved his hand, turned around and went upstairs.

He did have something to take home this time.

We walked upstairs and opened the door. Chihaya Higashino ran over as soon as she heard the movement beside the door: "Aji! Are you back?"

Then she looked at Higashikata who was wearing a formal dress, and tilted her head in confusion - why is Aji so good-looking today?

"Well, I'm back, Chihaya-san." Higashinoji greeted Higashino Chihaya and said with a smile: "I came back to ask Chihaya-san to borrow something. I may have to attend a party next."

"Attending the party...? Are you the kind that's very powerful?" Chihaya Higashino curiously walked up to Higashinoji and asked him: "No wonder Aji looks so good today."

"Well, it's not bad, the level is not high. At about eight o'clock in the evening... I will show up on TV Asahi."

Higashinoji happily touched Higashino Chihaya's head, and then said in a calm and gentle tone: "So this time I want to wear the scarf Chihaya-san gave me and dress up better on stage."

It’s not that I’m unique or that I want to play the emotional card.

But this is the first time that Higashinoji has won an award on a formal occasion - he wants to share this joy with Higashino Chihaya.

"Can you be on TV?" Higashino Chihaya's eyes widened.

"Yes, so Chihaya-san, can you lend me your scarf?" Higashinoji coaxed Higashino Chihaya.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to Asu." Chihaya Higashino excitedly ran to the living room, took out the scarf from the small basket, and then put it around Higashinoji's neck very carefully with her little hands.

After doing all this, she encouraged Higashinoji: "Asi, come on."

"Yes, I will." Higashinoji nodded, then reached out to touch her head, and said: "I asked Aunt Fujii from the pork rice bowl restaurant to give you a rice bowl. Sister Chihaya, please remember to eat it later.

"

"good."

"If someone knocks on the door at night, don't open the door. Call me."

"But isn't Asi going to the party?"

"fine."

"good."

"You really have to remember to eat, don't go hungry."

"good..."
