The day when Hosokawa Koharu called and inquired was not far away. About two days later, Tonoji received a call from Hosokawa Koharu.

"Teacher Higashino, I heard from Mr. Kuromiya...she wants to study under you?"

When Hosokawa Koharu learned about this, she was really surprised, and she couldn't help but feel confused in her voice.

After all, Kuromiya-sensei is also the signature author of "The Cold", so why was he abducted by Higashinoji in the blink of an eye? How did the two of them hook up?

And isn’t this a waste of resources?

I don’t know how many people were begging Akisa Kuromiya to publish a new comic, but Higashinoji kidnapped her.

"Kuromiya-sensei already called me about this matter the day before yesterday." Higashinoji thought for a while and explained, to avoid Hosokawa Koharu from misunderstanding: "This is Kuromiya-sensei's initiative. He said he wanted to

He studied with me and his attitude was very firm. I also tried to persuade him, but it was of no use."

"Is that so...?" Hosokawa Koharu was a little suspicious. She had seen Higashinoji chatting with girls of his own age several times, and every time he could make those girls giggle. Maybe Kuromiya-sensei was...

I fell into Mr. Higashino's trap.

However, she did not continue to ask any more questions, and politely said, "Teacher Higashino, you have to pay attention to your health, your current work intensity is too intense," and then hung up the call.

After all, this is ultimately a matter between Kuromiya Akisa and Higashinoji. Kuromiya Akisa's editor is already trying to persuade her, and Hosokawa Koharu is just here to ask about Higashinoji's situation.

However, Hosokawa Koharu's last words still made Higashino feel the same way.

After he put down his cell phone, he looked at the storyboard picture book at hand, then looked at the manuscripts of "The Winner is Justice" and "The Lonely Gourmet" on the other side, and let out a breath.

The workload is indeed a bit heavy.

Although he did take over the animation script work of "The Ring", Higashino found some difficulties in actual operation.

After all, he still has the manuscripts of "The Winner Is Justice" and "The Lonely Gourmet" to draw.

Neither side can stop.

The intensity of work naturally becomes extremely high.

Higashinoji has now simply used his class time to draw the storyboard picture book of "The Ring"... After all, this thing doesn't have to be too detailed, and it can be drawn with pencil.

In this way, work can be balanced.

The class in the morning was used to draw storyboard picture books, and in the evening I drew the original manuscripts of "The Winner is Justice" and "The Lonely Gourmet".

The progress is not slow. Higashino feels that it will not take two months, but another month to complete the storyboard picture book of "The Ring".

Another thing worth mentioning is that since Higashino shifted part of his energy to animation scripts, he has an additional skill in his solitary skill bar.

‘Other skills: Tang Shou, animation script (opening up the next skill slot requires 1,000 well-known points)’.

This incident also gave Higashino a little energy. It seems that even if he doesn't use famous points to open up skill slots, he can still increase his skills other than painting through learning.

Higashinoji rubbed his eyebrows for a while and pressed his temples a few more times. Just when he was about to continue working, a voice came from the door: "Aji... I, I made coffee, can I come in?"

The voice sounded cautious, which made Higashino a little amused: "Come in, Lianghua, you don't have to be so reserved."

The person standing at the door was none other than Konoe Ryoka.

It has been nearly a week since Higashinoji moved here, and Konoe Ryoka would come over from time to time at his request.

Of course, from a practical point of view, Konoe Ryoka also prefers the lively and bustling atmosphere of Higashino's house. Compared to her empty home where only one person lives, she feels more comfortable staying here.

Hearing Higashinoji agreed, Konoe Ryoka blushed on her face. She was actually very happy, but she didn't know how to express it, so she could only smile with her lips pursed.

It's just that this expression is very strange. He is obviously smiling, but he looks very serious.

"Please use."

Konoe Ryoka placed the coffee cup next to Higashinoji's workbench, and then walked behind him.

She glanced at the thick manuscript in front of Higashinoji, then muttered in a distressed voice: "Do you still want to draw?"

Konoe Ryoka didn't like to talk too much about Higashinoji's work, but every time she came here she basically saw Higashinoji immersed in drawing, and several times she thought that Higashinoji might die suddenly from overwork.

Of course she felt distressed.

"Yeah, after surviving this month and a half, I feel relaxed after that." Higashino took a sip of coffee, still looking at the original manuscript of "The Winner is Justice", thinking about how to continue painting.

After five or six minutes, Higashinoji turned his head in surprise: "Is there anything else? Lianghua?"

Almost every time Konoe Ryoka would leave after giving herself midnight snacks or coffee, as if there was something scary in his room.

But today is different, Konoe Ryoka is still in the room.

This made Toyoji feel confused.

Konoe Ryoka's behavior is not like that of ordinary Japanese girls. She is very polite. She feels that it is rude to stay in other people's rooms all the time. In addition, she is delicate and sensitive. If she pokes the center of things, her face will turn red. She is clumsy and can't say anything for a long time.

Speaking of which, her soft personality is like a marshmallow, and Higashinoji will never get angry no matter how much he teases her.

But something was a little strange today.

Marshmallow suddenly became so angry that he dared to stay in his room.

Higashinoji felt surprised, but before he could continue to ask, Konoe Ryoka had already whispered: "I can actually do head massage, Aji."

Well--

Only then did Higashinoji understand what Konoe Ryoka meant.

It turns out she wanted to give herself a massage...

However, her hint was really clumsy. She just said, "I know how to massage," and the rest was silent.

But this is also the character of Konoe Ryoka. If you want her to take the initiative again... it would be too difficult. She just said the words just now without seeing her and already dared not raise her face to see others.

?

Marshmallows were still marshmallows. Higashino thought that if she changed her name to Konoe Marshmallow and then let herself take a sip, it might be much sweeter.

"Really? Then trouble Lianghua, please give me a little press." Higashino smiled and leaned on the back of the chair, relaxing his body.

"Um..."

Higashinoji heard Konoe Ryoka respond in a soft voice, and then he felt Konoe Ryoka's slender fingers on his head.

Press the acupuncture points on the head gently and accurately with appropriate force.

Higashinoji felt that his fatigue had been dispelled.

"Asi, how's it going?"

Konoe Ryoka asked in a soft voice, and the fingers pressing on Tonoji's head moved gently.

"It feels very good. I would rather pray to my God Lianghua than to pray for heaven and earth." Higashino closed his eyes and responded cheerfully.

Very comfortable indeed.

Konoe Ryoka's palms were small, but she was strong enough and very skillful, which made Higashino feel very good.

She blushed as she pressed it, and looking at Higashino's relaxed state with his eyes closed, it felt like he had licked honey.

Although it was Higashinoji who was enjoying it and she was the one who contributed the effort, this silly girl still felt very happy.

Looking so close... she found that Higashinoji was indeed very good-looking, with his delicate and handsome facial features just like the male protagonist of a morning drama.

But his eyebrows were furrowed and he looked tired...

Konoe Ryoka touched his head distressedly - Aji must be too tired.

But now he seems quite comfortable...I have to try harder...

She pursed her thin cherry-pink lips, her big, soft and clear eyes sparkled, lowered her head, and pressed the acupoints on Higashinoji's head very carefully.

He looked serious, as if he was completing the most important work.

After a while, Konoe Ryoka retracted her palm: "It's better, Asa."

"Yes." Higashino moved his neck and felt that his head felt a lot lighter all of a sudden, so he happily thanked: "Thank you, Lianghua... By the way..."

He took out two movie tickets from the drawer and asked her: "Are you free on Saturday? Let's go see a movie."

Until now, Higashinoji has been cooking for Konoe Ryoka, and the others have been drying Konoe Ryoka.

This is too cold.

Fortunately, Konoe Ryoka has a good temper. If it were any other girl, Tonoji would have fallen out with him long ago.

"Hey...? But... Aji, don't you still have a job?" Konoe Ryoka held the movie ticket in her hand. Although she was very happy, she still asked cautiously.

Her level of understanding is too high, she is the standard type of good wife and loving mother.

Higashikata smiled and waved to her, gesturing for her to come over.

Um?

Konoe Ryoka tilted her head, approached cautiously, and then...

Then Higashinoji pinched his cheek——

"Although work matters are also very important, shouldn't we as husband and wife also have a good communication about our feelings?"

Higashikata smiled.

The face of this marshmallow is really easy to pinch and feels good in the hand.
