Is it okay not to want to work hard?

It is impossible to refuse, the only option is to agree.

In order to prevent Toyono Kanade from coming to her house, and to be tried by her parents afterwards, Goto Ichiri made sure to keep Toyono Kanade out of the house. However, she naively overlooked one thing.

"Xiao Yili, you want to go out and play? Why didn't I hear you say this before?" In the living room, Goto Michiyo, who was watching TV, was a little surprised to see her daughter going out to play. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she showed a gentle smile on her face and asked, "Is it the child from last time?"

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Goto Naoki, who was leaning on the sofa, sat up straight abruptly, his eyes becoming sharp.

"Ah, no, no." Goto Ichiri was shocked and shook his head quickly, "It's girls, Izumi and Nishimiya."

"Really? Then invite them to come to your house and play."

Goto Michiyo had a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she didn't believe what her daughter said.

"This, this is not necessary. They are shy."

Goto Ichiri didn't know how she said this. Both Izumi and Nishimiya were definitely not shy people.

Izumi, needless to say, is a social phobia, Nishimiya... Nishimiya is inarticulate and looks introverted, but actually actively makes friends. Unlike her, she is always in a state of excitement but never takes action, only thinking about being passive and not taking the initiative.

"really?"

Goto Michiyo's eyes were curved into crescents due to her smile. Her squinting eyes looked very friendly, but also more oppressive.

If it were girls, Xiao Yili would definitely not mind them coming to his house to play.

She remembered that after she made friends in the first grade, she asked if she could invite her friends to her house to play, and she even talked to herself in her room about what to do when they came. Now, the child suddenly changed her mind, and there could only be one answer, that is, a boy was coming!

If it was a boy, it would be understandable why Xiao Yili didn't dare to invite him.

But that's not necessarily the case. Given Xiao Yili's personality, it's possible that even if the other person is a girl, she wouldn't dare to invite him to her home to play.

"real!"

Goto Ichiri nodded heavily.

"They came from such a far place like Tokyo, are you really not going to let them come and sit with us?"

Goto Naoki, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up. He played the card of being tired from traveling and wanted to find out whether his daughter's friend was a girl or a boy. If it was a girl, he would be a manly man with big cute breasts, but if it was a boy, he would need to throw in white gloves.

"Next time, next time for sure."

Goto Ichiri forced a smile on her face. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she was afraid that her parents would misunderstand her. Although her parents' misunderstanding was not really a misunderstanding, she didn't want her family to know that she was in a relationship, and she didn't want her family to know that the person she was in a relationship with was a playboy.

"Okay, come back early and don't play too late with Higashino-kun. Love hotels are definitely not allowed."

Goto Michiyo smiled and reminded Goto Ichiri what to pay attention to when going out to play.

"Mom, I can't do that, eh...?"

After Goto Ichiri said this, he thought it was nothing at first, but when he saw the bright smile on his mother's face, he suddenly realized that he had been stupid.

Mom is trying to trick her!

"Sure enough, she's going out with a boy? Wow, our little Ichiri actually lied to date a boy."

Goto Naoki shed tears. It is said that girls should not be kept when they grow up, so why did he feel that his daughter should not be kept when she is too young?

"Dad, Mom, it's not like that. No, it's really not like that."

Seeing her father in tears, Goto Ichiri was at a loss to explain. She really didn't expect her mother to not believe her precious daughter and actually try to trick her into saying something, and she was so stupid and naive to fall for it.

Despicable sir!

"Really? That's it, then."

Goto Michiyo didn't ask any more questions, she knew it would be impolite to ask again, although she didn't know much about her daughter's relationship with the boy, but she didn't object if her daughter wanted to have a relationship. She originally thought that Xiao Yili couldn't even make friends and might be lonely for the rest of her life, but now there was a boy playing with Xiao Yili, so she had to seize the opportunity.

Fortunately, Goto Michiyo didn't know the relationship between Tono Kanade, Izumi Konata, Nishimiya Shoko, and Ijichi Koka. If she knew, she probably wouldn't have thought of letting her daughter take the chance, but would have stayed as far away from him as possible.

"Then mom..."

Goto Ichiri ignored his father and only asked his mother.

In the Goto family, Goto Naoki is the bottom of the family, the lowest position. Although Goto Ichiri thinks she is the bottom of the family, sometimes she doesn't think so in her heart.

Goto Ichiri, who was in junior high school, thought of himself at most as a nozuchi snake, but he had not yet reached the point where he thought himself to be even worse than a water flea.

"Go ahead, go on a date, but I'll help you dress up. You don't want to go out dressed like this, do you?"

"No, it's not a date!" Goto Ichiri blushed slightly, and then she suddenly realized the second half of her mother's sentence, and was stunned, "Eh, dressing up?"

Is it not okay to dress like this?

Wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and dark blue shorts, Goto Ichiri didn't realize that this kind of home outfit didn't mean he couldn't go out, it just seemed a bit casual for a date.

"Eh, date?!"

Goto Naoki was also stunned.

What’s going on? Why is Yili going on a date?

Shouldn't mom be on a united front with him? Why did it turn out like this? Does dad have such no status in the family?

"Of course, a date. A friend from grade one asked her out, so she had to dress up nicely. Last time you ran away in your ugly sportswear, so don't do it again this time."

"It doesn't look good..."

Goto Ichiri felt like she had been hit by an arrow in the knee.

What's wrong with her grey sportswear? Doesn't she wear it often at home? When her mother bought it for her, she said it looked good. Why did it look good then, but not now?

As if she could see through Goto Ichiri's thoughts, Goto Michiyo said with a smile: "Your clothes are nice to wear at home, but you can't wear them outside, especially when you are on a date."

So, with the support of Goto Michiyo and the opposition of Goto Naoki, Goto Ichiri wore a nice outfit and went on a date with Higashino Kanade.

Chapter 36: Date with Goto Ichiri

Goto Ichiri was dressed beautifully on the date, with a white top and a black A-line skirt.

The girl, who is not dressed in sportswear, is eye-catching, but what is even more eye-catching is her budding breasts.

Is it too big?

Higashino Kanade confirmed Goto Ichiri's growth. After taking a look, it seemed that he had indeed grown bigger. After taking another look, he thought, well, seeing is not necessarily believing. He had to practice to be sure.

Ah, well, what should I say?

Goto Ichiri held the Coke in her hand and seemed to be hesitant to speak. She took a sip from time to time, wanting Higashino Kanade to stop looking at her, but she didn't know how to say it, and she didn't know how to muster up the courage to say it.

Fortunately, Higashino Kanade didn't look at him again, but retracted his Hentai-like gaze and said with a smile: "Yili, you just drink Coke?"

Yili's hobbies are the same as the fat guy's: potato wedges, cola, and fried chicken nuggets. French fries, cola, and fried chicken nuggets are all here, but why does Yili only drink cola and not eat potato wedges and fried chicken nuggets?

“Ah? Ah, ah!”

Goto Ichiri was a little dazed, but when he heard what Tono Kanade said, he immediately started eating potato wedges and fried chicken nuggets.

"What are you thinking about so intently?"

Higashino Kanade was curious about what kind of fantasy Ichiri was in so much that he even forgot to eat the things he liked.

"No, I didn't think about anything."

Goto Ichiri shook her head gently, her face a little hot, and she muttered to herself: I can't tell you not to look at me anymore.

She couldn't say such shameful words!

"Ok."

Higashino Kanade didn't care and picked up a piece of fried chicken with his chopsticks.

Take a bite of crispy fried chicken and drink a sip of refreshing ice cola.

Well, so cool!

If this wasn't in a restaurant and Yili wasn't right in front of him, he would have been unable to hold back and let out a cry of delight, as if he were atavistic.

Image, pay attention to your image.

At home, you can casually revert to your roots and make monkey noises, but outside, you have to act like a decent human being.

"You look really nice in this outfit today."

Higashino Kanade saw Goto Ichiri and praised him with a smile. He thought Ichiri would wear sportswear like last time, but he didn't expect that he would dress so nicely today.

Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. She is already cute, and she becomes even cuter in this dress.

"My mother forced me to wear this."

Goto Ichiri felt deeply resentful when she said this. If possible, she hoped that she would wear the sportswear she wore when she went to Shimokitazawa to play with everyone last time, instead of the clothes that exposed her arms and thighs this time.

"Thank you so much, Auntie."

Higashino Kanade laughed even more happily.

"..."

Goto Ichiri had a gloomy expression.

"Yili, aren't you very cute? Why do you always think you are not good enough? If I were a girl and as pretty as you, I would have walked sideways and not even closed the door when taking a shower."

Higashino Kanade said strange things seriously. He really couldn't understand why Pochi thought he was not good-looking.

Doesn't this kid ever look in the mirror?!

If he was so cute, he would have taken crazy selfies and become an online scammer to make -8000 yuan. Isn't it easier to make money than drawing comics?

"No way, how am I cute?"

Goto Ichiri said this shyly, but judging from her expression, she clearly enjoyed it.

Hey, hey, am I really cute? Xiaozou often says this to me. Am I really cute? I am not ugly, but I am pretty good-looking? Hey, hey, hey, hey.

"It's really cute. If you don't believe me, you can ask them next time."

When Higashino Kanade saw that Goto Ichiri's face was praised for being rounder, he smiled even more happily.

What a good strategy.

He should praise Yili as much as he can. If he wants to praise Yili to the point of being overwhelmed and forgetting everything else, he might be able to drag Yili to the hotel right away, and then...

Thinking of H's things, the smile on Higashino Kanade's face became strange, less sunny and more gentlemanly.

Today is a half-day date for Tono Kanade and Goto Ichiri.

Don't ask why it's half a day, the answer is that someone took a long time to ride a bicycle from Ikebukuro to Yokohama. Otherwise, their dating process would not be to eat first and then go out to play.

"Ah, I'm full, I'm full."

Leaning back in his chair, Higashino Kanade patted his belly contentedly.

The Coke is delicious, the French fries and fried chicken are also good, and the curry rice in the store is not bad either.

After that, I took a break and then went on a date.

Higashino Kanade had finished eating, but Goto Ichiri had not yet. She saw the empty plate in front of Higashino Kanade, then looked at her own half-empty curry, and quickly quickened her pace to eat.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, don't choke..."

Before Higashino Kanade could finish his words, Goto Ichiri choked.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Goto Ichiri patted her chest hard. Although it may not be nice to say this, her movements looked like those of a gorilla.

But even so, Pochi is still very cute.

Cute, want to... kiss.

I really want to kiss Yili.

Higashino Kanade looked at Goto Ichiri's lips and imagined the feeling of kissing Ichiri. He had kissed Ichiri in his dreams, but the feeling of kissing was fake. Even if he had Konata's material, the feedback he would get from kissing Ichiri in his dreams would be Konata's, not the real kiss of Ichiri.

"Is there something on my face?"

After taking a sip of Coke to calm down, Goto Ichiri saw Tono Kanade staring at him again and touched his face embarrassedly.

"No, I just wanted to watch you."

Higashino Kanade was smiling as always, and his words were like a gentle breeze.
