"Higashino-kun, you came to pick up Chiwa-chan so early today, don't you have to work?"

At about half past five, Higashino Hirosawa came to Huaer Kindergarten to pick up Chiwa-chan.

Teacher Odanabe couldn't help but ask in a low voice when he saw Higashino Hirosawa.

Before the story of Higashino Hirosawa spread on the Internet, Odanabe already knew Higashino Hirosawa.

About a year ago, Higashino Hirosawa came to Hua'er Kindergarten and asked if he could put little Chiwa in the care of Hua'er Kindergarten.

Although the class for children under 3 years old in Huaer Kindergarten is similar to that of a nursery school, it only allows the children to be cared for in the kindergarten, and the teachers play with the children and basically do not teach any knowledge courses.

However, children under one year old are too difficult to take care of, so Hua'er Kindergarten will certainly not accept them.

Higashino Hirosawa could only leave disappointed.

In the next six months, Odanabe saw Higashino Hirosawa working part-time in several places, sometimes carrying Chiwa-chan on his back.

Occasionally, I saw Higashino Hirosawa's deep love and care for Chiwa-chan, as well as the slightest hint of grief.

All this left a deep impression on Otanabe.

Then things about Higashino Hirosawa began to spread on the Internet, and Odanabe finally learned something about Higashino Hirosawa.

But she didn't believe it at all.

How could someone who loves and protects his children so much be the scum rumored online?

If things were really as stated on the Internet, how could the police not arrest Higashino Hirosawa?

In Odanabe's view, someone deliberately spread news online to slander Higashino Hirosawa for some unknown reason.

During that time, she didn't see much of Higashino Hirosawa, and she was worried that something had happened to Higashino Hirosawa because of the rumors.

It wasn't until more than two months ago that Higashino Hirosawa brought Chiwa to Hua'er Kindergarten to register that she breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't do much to help Higashino Hirosawa, but she was very attentive when taking care of Chiwa. Sometimes the children in the kindergarten class were picked up by their parents, and before Higashino Hirosawa came, she would play with Chiwa all the time.

The departure time for the younger classes of the child-care Huaer Kindergarten is from 5 to 7 o'clock. Higashino Hirosawa often arrives at 7 o'clock, and even after 7 o'clock several times.

Odanabe was forced to work overtime several times, but he never complained about Higashino Hirosawa.

She just felt that Higashino Hirosawa worked too hard.

Today, Higashino Hirosawa came to pick up Chiwa-chan so early, uncharacteristically. She was a little worried about whether there was something wrong with Higashino Hirosawa at work.

"No, I recently found another clerical job that I can do at home. I will probably be able to pick up Chiwa-chan normally in the future."

Higashino Hirosawa was stunned for a moment and then immediately reacted.

"Really? That's really great, Higashino-kun!"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Otanabe was sincerely happy for Higashino Hirosawa.

In the early childhood class, Xiao Qianhe was stacking building blocks with a little girl over two years old.

The little girl looks very quiet and smart, but her arms look a little thin.

She was facing the door, and when she saw Higashino Hirosawa and Mr. Odanabe coming over, she shook Chiwa-chan.

"Qianhe, your father is here to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianhe immediately raised his head and turned to look at the door.

"dad!"

Seeing Higashino Hirosawa, she ran over happily.

"Qianhe, do you miss dad? Well, say goodbye to your classmates."

Higashino Hirosawa picked up little Chiwa and asked him to wave goodbye to the little girl.

The quiet little girl also waved her hand and watched Xiao Qianhe leave. She lowered her head and continued to play with the blocks on the ground.

…

On the way back, Higashino Hirosawa bought a cheap lunch box.

He would have liked to cook for himself, but there was nothing in the rental house, so the investment would be a lot, and he didn't have enough money.

Playing with Xiao Qianhe, Higashino Hirosawa didn't return to the rental house until early six o'clock.

After preparing milk powder for Chiwa-chan, Hirosawa Higashino also heated up a bento. He opened his laptop and ate while watching what was going on with the game Abe-senpai made last year.

When Higashino Hirosawa started reading the script, the art department's plaster sketch was also finished.

"Today Mr. Higashino is here. I think the work he drew is very good. It can be used as a demonstration to teach you some techniques of sketching."

Teacher Omu stood in front of the club room and said with a smile. It could be seen that he was in a very good mood.

"Is this a painting by Higashino-senpai?"

"Drawed in an hour and a half?"

"so amazing!"

As Higashino Hirosawa's paintings were unfolded under Mr. Oki's hands, everyone in the club widened their eyes.

This is a work with an astonishing degree of completion and full of details.

What's even more surprising is that this painting seems to have a magical power that deeply attracts their attention.

Kagaya Hisashi looked at Higashino Hirosawa's paintings and his mind went blank.

He is of a higher level than other members.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt the gap more deeply.

It’s so big that it’s disappointing!

…

"Sure enough, these bad reviews were deliberately done by someone."

In the rental house, Higashino Hirosawa spent twenty minutes, reading ten lines at a glance, and probably read the game script once.

A wireless network card was installed on the laptop, and Higashino Hirosawa also found the original reviews online.

After taking a few glances, he confirmed his guess.

It is obvious that Abe Taka's game has been deliberately and maliciously criticized.

Although the script of this game is not outstanding, it is well designed in terms of emotions. It is the kind of script that has shortcomings but also has bright spots.

In terms of emotional expression, it is much better than the script written by Abe Takashi now.

Higashino Hirosawa also took a look at the illustrations of the game.

Because the illustrations are all drawn by high school students, the style is a bit mixed and immature, but there are some that are eye-catching.

The game as a whole can't be said to be excellent, but it certainly won't attract that many negative reviews.

Higashino Hirosawa was certain that it was the unscrupulous students in the game club who were behind the scenes.

They may have found someone to buy a copy of the game, quickly reviewed it, found out the shortcomings and amplified them, and then used multiple different IDs to give negative reviews of the game on relevant game forums.

Because there are purchased games as evidence and multiple people have given negative reviews, the negative reviews appear to be very convincing.

There are not many people buying games, and there are no other buyers for the game. Forum players who see bad reviews will naturally remind people they know to be careful not to cheat.

As a result, the game will no longer be sold on the second or third day of Comic Expo.

Otherwise, given the quality of this game, it's hard to say if it will sell too many copies, but if it sells over a hundred copies, it won't be a problem.

"It seems like we need to pay attention to these guys. They might use the same method this year."

Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while.

Although with the quality of "White Album II", these people will only do useless work.
