Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"Come on, let's go back and find a restaurant to eat."

Higashino Kanade stood up and patted his butt.

Although he only dated Yili for half a day today, he was very happy. With the energy of today's happiness, he will be able to paint with full motivation in the next week.

"Can you rest for a while? I'm so tired."

Goto Ichiri didn't want to move.

After standing in the aquarium for a whole day and walking in the park for half a day, she couldn't take it anymore. If she walked any more, she would die.

"Do you need me to hold you?"

Dongye Kanade said with a smile. As long as Yili dared to agree, he would dare to do it.

Unfortunately, Goto Ichiri did not give Tono Kanade this opportunity and refused without even thinking about it.

"don't want……"

"Then carry you."

"Don't either."

"Carry me."

"No, no, I don't even want to hug you!"

Goto Ichiri learned to answer quickly, forcing Higashino Kanade to swallow what he was about to say.

It is difficult for people with social anxiety to say no to others, but they can say no to friends with whom they have a very good relationship.

The restaurant for dinner and lunch is the same one. The reason why we ate here was simply that Higashino Kanade parked his bicycle nearby.

There are special parking areas for bicycles in Japan. You cannot park your bicycles randomly, or you will be fined. Although there are fees for parking bicycles in special parking areas, if your bicycle is lost, the other party will have to compensate you. Even if you don't talk about morality, you should park your bicycle properly for the sake of profit.

Just as Higashino Kanade and Goto Ichiri were having dinner in the restaurant, Higashino Kanade received an email on his mobile phone.

The content of the email is very short, just one sentence.

【Where have you been!!!】

During the Golden Week, students and office workers have holidays, but Kikuri Hiroi, who works at a convenience store, does not have a holiday.

When she returned to the apartment and opened the door to see the dark studio, Hiroi Kikuri had a bad feeling. After she looked around the house and didn't see Higashino Kanade, Higashi Mikihiko, or Nakai Kyouro, she knew that her premonition had come true.

When she went to the kitchen and saw the empty refrigerator, her heart sank.

For nearly a month, she either had dinner in the studio or went out to a restaurant with Tono Kanade.

Now that Higashino Kanade is not at home, her salary has not been paid yet, and there is no food in the refrigerator, her heart is broken. The most important thing is that there is not even any wine in the refrigerator, which really makes her cry.

【I went to Yokohama, what happened? 】

When Higashino Kanade saw the message sent by Hiroi Kikuri, he probably understood why she used three exclamation marks in a row.

If I remember correctly, today was the day I went to buy groceries. The vegetables in the refrigerator were gone, the ice cream was gone, the wine was gone, and the drinks were gone.

【Hungry and hungry】

Hiroi Kikuri was not polite at all. She didn't care to be polite either, she originally wanted to go home to have a hot meal and drink a small glass of refreshing shochu, but she didn't expect that Higashino-kun went on a date.

【Let me order you a pizza】

Higashino Kanade knew that he couldn't go back, so he planned to order a takeout for Hiroi Kikuri.

【it is good! 】

【Don’t forget the wine】

This guy……

When he saw the news about Hiroi Kikuri, Higashino Kanade burst into laughter.

Never mind, never mind, give her a drink, give her a drink.

She had reduced the amount of alcohol she could drink from one cup a day to a small glass a day, so it would be too much to force her not to drink.

【okay, I get it】

who is it?

Goto Ichiri looked at Tono Kanade smiling at the phone, and a sense of loss arose in his heart that he didn't even notice.

"There was a bass player who had no food to eat and came to me for help."

Higashino Kanade put down his phone and saw Goto Ichiri staring at him calmly, so he couldn't help but explain. Feeling guilty, he didn't explain clearly, and didn't even say what the bassist's gender was.

Those who play with girls' feelings will be kicked to death by a donkey, but everyone is mortal since ancient times. In order for everyone to be happy, you must put yourself in danger and then be reborn.

Bassist...

Goto Ichiri thought of a girl with blue hair.

It turns out that Xiaozou is still in contact with that classmate. If I remember correctly, she is Hongxia's friend.

Playful!

Goto Ichiri was in mixed feelings as he ate. There were things he wanted to say but didn't dare to. After thinking about it, he finally just said, "Forget it."

Higashino Kanade didn't expect that if he didn't explain clearly, Ichiri would misunderstand that he was interested in Yamada Ryo. If he knew, he would definitely tell Ichiri all the detailed information about Hiroi Kikuri. Except for the fact that he accidentally felt her size, he confessed everything to Ichiri.

Unfortunately, Higashino Kanade’s superpower cannot read minds, so he didn’t know that Goto Ichiri was a little jealous, even Goto Ichiri herself didn’t realize that she was jealous.

The date ended at seven o'clock in the evening.

Higashino Kanade once again sent Goto Ichiri home, but this time he was unable to see Ichiri off to his doorstep.

"Ah, that's enough. It's getting dark, Xiaozou, you should go home soon."

Still some distance from home, Goto Ichiri hurriedly said goodbye to Higashino Kanade.

She couldn’t let Xiaozou send her home anymore, otherwise her parents might see her sending her home.

This won't do. When she went out, she said that it was Konata and Nishiko who came to see them. If her parents saw that it was Xiaozou when she came home, it would be a small matter if the lie was exposed, but it would be a big matter if her parents found out about her relationship with Xiaozou.

Regarding her relationship with Xiao Zou, she hopes to delay it as long as possible. At least before high school, she doesn't want her family to know about her relationship with Xiao Zou.

She thought that although she was dating Xiaozou now, she might break up with Xiaozou in the future. She had a darker thought that Xiaozou might break up with Quan and Nishimiya in the future. If she thought that way, wouldn't her relationship with Xiaozou be exposed to the sun?

Do you want to be like those bad women and break up Xiaozou’s other romances?

Goto Ichiri thought about it, and then just thought about it.

If she had the courage, she wouldn't be like this now.

Chapter 39: Can't Stand It

"Xiaozou."

"exist."

"I'm coming to play tomorrow."

"Ah."

Izumi Konata and Higashino Kanade were chatting and playing online games at the same time.

During the day, he rode his bike to Yokohama for a date, and at night he rode his bike back to Shimokitazawa. Higashino Kanade wanted to take a shower, lie on the bed and play with his phone before going to bed early, but he didn't expect a message from this side, asking him to log in.

He refused, but unfortunately the other party made an offer he couldn't refuse.

The condition was that he could replicate their interaction on a certain night. There was no need to specify which day it was.

"This side, I'm so sleepy."

Higashino Kanade yawned to show Izumi Konata his tiredness.

I've been playing with him for an hour, that's enough, it's almost twelve o'clock, which is long past his usual bedtime.

"A cappuccino, please."

In the voice chat, Izumi Konata's voice was full of smiles. Even though he couldn't see her, Higashino Kanade could imagine the classic fox smile on her face.

"I'm sleepy."

Dongye Zou was lying on the table, pressing skills randomly with his left hand and clearing the monsters in the dungeon.

"After you finish this book, go to bed."

Quan Cifang saw that Dongye Zou was really exhausted, so she didn't stop him from sleeping.

"Okay, I'll go to sleep later. Oh, yes, I'll give you a reward for not breaking the contract."

Higashino Kanade has not forgotten the promise he made to Izumi Konata.

"I know, I know. I will reward you tomorrow. I will reward you heavily."

Quan Chifang said this with gritted teeth, as if he was not going to reward Dongye Zou, but to give Dongye Zou a punch.

"Just give me a reward. Even a big reward is fine. Boys are very fragile there. You know that."

Dong Ye Zou suddenly felt some pain in his little brother. That night, he was happy, but not so happy. The reason was that they were all talking on paper, and the practical side was a little stronger when it first started, which left him with a certain degree of trauma.

How could anyone think that developing a skill is like playing games, like typing on the keyboard or pressing the controller harder and harder.

I can't stand it, I really can't stand it.

"How should I know? I'm not a boy." Quan Qifang muttered unhappily, "Who knows that boys in the game are different from boys in real life."

"Of course it's different. You're talking about the game, why don't you talk about the book? Are they all human? It's obviously that Niuniu has become a spirit, okay!"

Higashino Kanade made a strong accusation.

The male characters in this book can have sex 365 out of 364 days a year.

Not to mention seven times a night, even non-stop all night is fine. One person can defeat a group of people alone.

"Aren't you a superpower? Why can't you strengthen yourself?"

There was a strong sense of contempt in Izumi Konata's words.

Is this okay? Is this all a superpower can do? Is this all? Is this all?

"It's possible." Dongye Zou hesitated, thought for a moment, and said reluctantly, "But it won't last long."

"Ah? Haha. Hahaha, hahahaha!"

When Quan Cifang heard this, she was stunned at first, then she reacted and immediately smiled.

It was so funny. She was really amused by Dongye Zou's last sentence. It was so difficult for Xiaozou. You can believe how reluctant Xiaozou was when he said this. The reluctance in his voice was about to overflow and become reality.

"Do not laugh!"

Higashino Kanade was very annoyed when he heard the laughter in the voice chat.

The more annoyed he was, the more he felt that his superpowers were the worst of the worst.

Although this superpower is not that bad, the poor endurance is indeed a flaw. If there were no side effects and it could last longer, then he would not only become invincible by relying on this superpower, but also make his life more colorful.

Flying, hypnosis, invisibility, telekinesis, psychic power, teleportation, which one of these abilities is not powerful? If super powers did not have side effects and his mental strength was not enough, he would have become a bat, uh, a spider, or, uh, Superman, if not a Homelander.

Batman and Spiderman are not very good, the former is a frequent guest of hell's joke, the latter is a guest of hell's joke, don't be either of them.

"The young couple is quarreling again."

In the room, Hiroi Kikuri, who was sitting on the bed holding her bass, heard the noise coming from the next room and shook her head helplessly.

Get used to it.

She often heard Higashino-kun and his girlfriend named Konakata arguing. It seemed like they were just arguing, but in fact they were just showing off their love.

It's good to be young, unlike her, who is addicted to alcohol and bass and has no interest in love...

"Oh, I want to fall in love too!"

Hiroi Kikuri couldn't help but wail.

She wanted to deceive herself, but she couldn't. She was not a love-brained person, she was the kind of person who continuously enjoyed being single and intermittently wanted to fall in love.

The problem is, when living together, there are no couples showing affection, and even if she wants to fall in love intermittently, she may not want to fall in love once a month. But after living in the studio, she either listens to Higashino Kanade chatting with his girlfriend on voice or phone, or sees him chatting with his girlfriend on LINE, and is stimulated by his occasional dates. Now she wants to fall in love at least once a week.

This world is so unfair. Some people have no husband at all, while others have many wives and concubines.
