Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Unfortunately, the smell of alcohol on her body immediately broke the scene that emerged in Dongye Kanade's mind.

This woman would be extremely popular if she weren't addicted to alcohol.

Well, not necessarily. If Hiroi Kikuri hadn't been addicted to alcohol, her personality would have been the same as in high school, just like Ichiri, lonely and cowardly.

"Wait a moment, I'll go buy a Coke."

“I still want to drink.”

"No."

"What's so good about Coke?"

Three minutes later.

"Guha, so cool!"

After gulping down half a can of Coke, Hiroi Kikuri let out a cry that was not something a human could make.

She put the cold Coke on her hot face and asked cheerfully as if she was drunk: "Aren't you going home? Why aren't you going home? Are you following me?"

"Ah."

Higashino Kanade admitted it.

His admission made Hiroi Kikuri, who was originally teasing him, no longer able to handle it.

"Eh?" Hiroi Kikuri was stunned. She looked confused. "Why are you following me?"

"Because I saw an unreliable adult who seemed to be homeless, I was worried and wanted to ask him if he had no place to stay at night. If so, my studio is quite big."

Higashino Kanade was really worried about Hiroi Kikuri, not only because she was Xingge's junior, but also because he couldn't bear to see this woman spending the night outside.

When he met other young girls from other families, he would help them if he could, and the same went for young boys from other families, except that he never let them stay overnight in the studio, but instead contacted the police.

Who made him realize that the boys and girls who ran away from home he met were all rebellious by nature in adolescence? If they were subjected to domestic violence, he might have let them live in his studio. But they ran away from home purely because they were angry with their parents. Would he have lured them into his home to do bad things without contacting the police?

Goodbye, not all the girls he met were pretty girls, and even if they were pretty girls, he wouldn't really fall in love with every one he saw, okay? He was still very loyal, and only liked paper people. He didn't like any pretty girl who wasn't the paper man's wife.

Hiroi Kikuri could tell what Tono Kanade meant. He was inviting her to his studio if she wasn't staying overnight.

"You, don't like me."

Without thinking, Hiroi Kikuri said something.

"Please respect yourself. I have a girlfriend." Higashino Kanade said seriously, not joking with Hiroi Kikuri, "If you like being bitten by mosquitoes all night and sleeping on a hard chair with a sticky body, then just ignore what I said just now."

"I do not like!"

Hiroi Kikuri shook her head quickly. She had forgotten about the itch and the stickiness. But when Higashino Kanade reminded her, she suddenly felt itchy and sticky.

"Then come with me. I don't want to feed the mosquitoes."

Higashino Kanade used a cross seal to seal the bump on his face. He was not paying attention and got bit by a mosquito. Fortunately, he had super powers to drive away mosquitoes, otherwise it would not be as simple as just a bite.

Look at Hiroi Kikuri, her arms, neck and hands are covered with rashes. Even though the light in the park is not very good, the bright red rashes on her fair skin are really conspicuous.

"Are all kids nowadays so precocious? They have girlfriends at such a young age. I don't even have a boyfriend. Is this world too cruel to me? Where is my boyfriend? Where is he?"

Hiroi Kikuri muttered to herself quietly.

All these soliloquys fell into the ears of Higashino Kanade who was eavesdropping with his supernatural powers.

As for a boyfriend, as long as you lower your standards, you will always find one.

On the way back to the studio, Higashino Kanade asked Hiroi Kikuri how she became homeless, and the answer she got was that the band she was in disbanded last month. It's not that she didn't have a part-time job, but she "accidentally" got drunk and not only missed work, but also broke the wine cabinet. In short, she didn't make any money, but was deducted 70,000.

When Higashino Kanade returned to the studio, it was already half past ten, past his bedtime.

Higashino Kanade didn't expect that he didn't pick up the "Ikeide Shoujo" he had been looking forward to, but the Hiroi Kikuri, whom he didn't expect or even want to meet, was brought back to the studio twice.

Fortunately, the Hiroi Kikuri I met tonight was not drunk, and she had no alcohol and no money to buy alcohol, otherwise tonight would probably be another bad night.

Even though he benefited from Hiroi Kikuri last time, it was still a bad night for him.

Chapter 19: Dates with girls.

Early in the morning, Dongye Zou woke up.

Although he did not go to bed on time at ten o'clock in the evening, but dawdled until twelve o'clock, he still woke up at seven in the morning.

"It won't rain."

Seeing the gloomy sky outside the window, Higashino Kanade felt a little worried.

He likes rainy days, but he likes rainy days when he can stay at home, not rainy days when he has to go out.

Today, he, Suzu, Konata, Nozomi, Yuzuru, Nijigasaki, and Ichiri went to see the Live House. The rainy day did not affect watching the Live House, but it did affect their mood on the way to the store.

Fortunately, his mood will not be affected. He can go out to listen to rock music with a group of cute girls. Not to mention it raining, he can still be happy even if he goes out on a typhoon or a blizzard.

Who can resist a cute girl? Others may be able to do so, but he definitely can't.

Arriving at the door of the next room, Higashino Kanade knocked on it.

"are you awake?"

No one in the room responded.

It seems that he is not awake yet, so just eat first.

After washing his face and going to the bathroom, Higashino Kanade went to the kitchen to cook himself a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. While thinking about what to wear today, he asked Hongxia, Naoko, and Ichiri if they were awake. There was no need to ask Konata, she was definitely not awake. Yuzuru and Korin had Naoko and Konata, respectively, so there was no need to contact them.

I'll call you later if you have any questions.

She can't see the messages, but she can hear the phone ringing.

perhaps.

After eating the noodles and washing the dishes, Higashino Kanade went to knock on Hiroi Kikuri's door again.

There was still no response from the room this time, but there was a little movement inside.

After a while, the door opened.

With messy hair and rubbing her eyes, Hiroi Kikuri appeared in front of Higashino Kanade.

"Good morning."

Hiroi Kikuri, who had squinted her eyes, opened them.

"Good morning, I'm going out soon and will be back in the evening. I'll make breakfast for you, and lunch..." Dongye Kanade paused and continued, "I'll go to the convenience store to buy you a bento, and I won't give you money because I'm afraid you'll buy some wine."

"Eh? Don't you trust me at all?!"

Hiroi Kikuri looked hurt when she heard what Higashino Kanade said. This boy is too inhuman.

"Yes, do you have any dietary restrictions? If not, I'll buy them for you. If you're not looking for a job today and you're staying in the studio, you can cook for yourself. You can just put the lunch in the refrigerator. You can cook for yourself, right?"

Higashino Kanade looked suspicious.

"I can!"

Hiroi Kikuri nodded heavily.

"That's good. What do you want for breakfast? Tomato and egg noodles, egg and vegetable noodles, or egg and shredded pork noodles."

"I want to drink..." Hiroi Kikuri wanted to tease him, but when she saw Higashino Kanade's sharp eyes, she immediately changed her words, "Tomato and egg noodles, tomato and egg noodles!"

I don’t know why, as an adult, she would feel inexplicably guilty and follow her heart when facing a child like Higashino-kun, as if she was the child and Higashino-kun was the adult.

"it is good."

Higashino Kanade nodded and went to the kitchen to busy himself.

In order to prevent Hiroi Kikuri from drinking, he looked in the refrigerator and made sure that the beer he had bought before was used to make beer duck. If he forgot to use it and this woman found it and drank it, it would be troublesome.

Don't think that this drunkard is always drunk and seems to be able to drink a lot, but he has paid attention to the alcohol this woman often drinks, which is 13° shochu. Based on this alcohol content, he thinks Hiroi Kikuri has to go to the children's table for dinner.

This woman is incomparable to the freaks who took the water of life in "Azure Blue".

It's hard to understand, how can wine taste so good? He likes to drink Coke, but he can't stand drinking it every day. First, his teeth can't stand it, and second, the taste of Coke is weird when he drinks too much. Usually at this time, he will drink Sprite or other non-carbonated drinks.

Higashino Kanade first cooked noodles for Hiroi Kikuri, then went to the room to change into clothes for the date, and then he went out to buy a lunch box for Hiroi Kikuri.

It was impossible for him to give money to Hiroi Kikuri, not even to lend her money. If she wanted money, she should go work.

"I'm leaving."

After returning to the studio, Higashino Kanade put the bag on the table and prepared to go out again.

"Be careful on the road."

Hiroi Kikuri was still eating noodles. She waved her empty hand and said goodbye to Higashino Kanade with a smile.

"Well, see you tonight."

Higashino Kanade waved and left the studio.

Originally, his two assistants were supposed to come to paint today, but because of the presence of Hiroi Kikuri, he gave his assistants a day off.

If you ask why, it's because he's worried that the two assistants wouldn't be sensible enough to invite Nakai Takara and Higashi Mikihiko to drink. Although he stressed that Higashi was fine, he was worried about Nakai.

When Nakai Kyoro sees Hiroi Kikuri, it is hard for him not to fall in love with her at first sight. If he invites Hiroi Kikuri to drink in order to lick her and she disobeys him, it is hard to say what will not happen.

With Tomi Norihiko around, the plot of the book will never happen, but the studio is likely to suffer.

A big reason why Hiroi Kikuri is poor is that she would damage the equipment in the Live House when she is drunk. He dare not imagine what would happen if she got drunk in the studio and no one was watching.

Let Hiroi Kikuri stay in the studio alone. It's up to her to stay at home or look for a job. If she wants to take a day off today, it's fine. If she doesn't look for a job tomorrow, he will urge her.

Today's weather forecast says it will rain.

Looking at the gloomy sky, Higashino Kanade hoped that it would not rain before everyone arrived at the Live House.

The meeting point was at Shimokitazawa Station, and it took twenty minutes to walk from Shimokitazawa Station to the Live House they were going to. If it rained, it would ruin their mood.

When they arrived at the station, Higashino Kanade immediately saw Ijichi Kouka and her friends, who had very distinctive aho-hair.

She had short blue hair and yellow eyes. She was half a head taller than Hong Xia, with a pretty face and an indifferent expression. She was not dressed as neutrally as one might imagine, but in an indigo top and a pleated skirt of the same indigo color but a slightly lighter color.

"Xiaozou!"

Seeing Higashino Kanade, the energetic Ichichi Koka greeted her.

"You guys are here early."

Higashino Kanade didn't expect that Hongxia would arrive earlier than him.

"I'm afraid of being late."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled brightly, and suddenly she remembered that she had not introduced her friends, so she pulled Yamada Ryo to her side and introduced them.

"Hello."

Yamada Ryo greeted Tono Kanade politely.

What a good feeling.

Higashino Kanade looked at the girl-dressed Yamada Ryo and felt that the person in front of him was very different from the one in his impression. Is the character OOC? Why does this Yamada Ryo look disdainful and obedient?

Just as he was observing Yamada Ryo curiously, his phone rang with the notification tone of a new LINE message.

【I have arrived】

Sender: Goto Ichiri.

Chapter 20 It’s almost there, it’s almost there, on the way, coo coo coo

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

The crowd was surging, and Goto Ichiri was looking for someone she knew in the crowd.

"One mile."

Suddenly, accompanied by a joyful voice, a hand was placed on Goto Ichiri's shoulder!

"what!"

Goto Ichiri was startled.
