Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Higashino Kanade admitted it frankly. Of course he came to see Hongxia, and since Yamada Ryo saw through him, he would stop playing this trick.

[You like Hongxia, right?]

Yamada Ryo knew that Higashino Kanade had a girlfriend, and not just one, but three. After all, she was Nijika's friend, and Nijika and Konoha had a good relationship, so it was not surprising that she knew that Higashino Kanade had three girlfriends.

Besides, the last time she played with them, she could tell that the boys' emotional relationships were extremely decadent.

【like】

Higashino Kanade typed on his phone without hesitation.

[Don’t you have a girlfriend? ]

Yamada Ryo didn't understand why Higashino Kanade could be so straightforward and still say that he liked Nijigao even though he already had three girlfriends. This guy, has no shame? He has a girlfriend, three girlfriends, and three beautiful girlfriends at home, but he still thinks about women outside.

If this guy was a rock musician, she wouldn't be surprised, but Hongxia said he was a comic book artist. Aren't comic book artists supposed to be a bunch of otakus? Why was his love history so recent that it looked like it was about to explode?

【I am a scumbag】

Seeing the new sentence on his phone, Yamada Ryo understood. At the same time, a strong feeling of admiration rose in his heart.

Great.

Yamada Ryo didn't write anything else in the draft book, but gave Higashino Kanade two thumbs up.

What else can she say when she admits so refreshingly and honestly that she is a scumbag?

【Add me on LINE, let’s chat on LIEN】

Yamada Ryo was tired of reading the small print on the phone, and it was class time, so if she kept looking out the door, she would be at risk of being discovered by the teacher.

"what?"

Outside the classroom, Higashino Kanade was dumbfounded when he saw the words on the notebook.

Why did you suddenly ask him to LINE?

Yamada Ryo had just asked him if he liked her, and then he said that he was a scumbag and wanted to add him on LINE, which made it difficult for him not to have wild thoughts.

Could it be that she likes me?

Higashino Kanade knew that this was one of the three major illusions in life, and he also felt that his thoughts were outrageous. But Yamada Ryo was a weirdo, at least in the animation, she behaved like a weirdo, and also a despicable person. People like her had different brain circuits than ordinary people.

Maybe she just doesn't like good men, but likes bad men.

Men are not bad, women are not bad. As a statement with an outrageously biased outlook on life, even in 2023, there are still many people who regard it as a guiding principle.

Well, add it.

I must be overthinking it. Even if I wasn't overthinking it, he wouldn't add any more harem before conquering Hong Xia. I can only say that there was foreshadowing in last summer, and as for Liang, eh, it seems that there was also foreshadowing.

Originally, Hongxia didn't want her to meet Liang. She even hesitated about whether to invite Liang to the Live House concert because she was worried that he liked Liang. At that time, Hongxia expressed her worry that he would like her if she invited Liang to join her. He didn't give her the assurance that he would definitely not like Liang.

But please be honest.

Higashino Kanade thought about it and decided that he should stop being fickle, at least not before he successfully conquered Hong Xia.

Otherwise, Hongxia might really run away.

Even so, he still had to add LINE. From Liang, he might be able to learn some little secrets or thoughts about Hong Xia that his mother-in-law and Xingge didn't know, but Liang knew.

PS: Go to sleep! Good night, Makka Bakka.

Chapter 45 Good days are still to come

After school.

Higashino Kanade did not go home from school with Izumi Konata and Nishimiya Shoko, but was cleaning the classroom at school.

Be on duty.

No matter whether you are a flower grower or a chicken, students have to be on duty and clean the school.

Today, in fact, it was not Higashino Kanade's turn to be on duty. But after the class teacher didn't see the people in the corridor and saw him leisurely coming down from upstairs, he became the student on duty. He was on duty today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and he would be on duty throughout May.

There is no way, this is his own fault. Since he has seen Hong Xia's gorgeous beauty, he must bear the cost of cleaning.

The warmth of the afternoon reflected into the classroom, and only Higashino Kanade was left in the quiet classroom.

After school, those who should go home go home, and those who should participate in club activities participate in club activities. There are basically no people in the classroom.

If this were a comic book world, there should be a classroom with an incredible plot going on at this moment.

Dongye Zou was wiping the blackboard, wondering if something sinful was happening in this school at this moment. Don't blame him for being a pornographic waste all day long. In addition, in his previous life, his actual age was over 30, and he would be 40 in a few years, but he had never done anything sinful. It was really absurd.

Even if you eat meat every day, you will get tired of it, let alone the fact that he only eats vegetarian food with a little meat flavor.

"Really? You don't even accompany me."

Higashino Kanade sighed when she thought of Konata packing up his schoolbag without any reluctance after school. Glass clearly wanted to stay with him, but was dragged away by that bad guy Konata. Really, he just went back to the studio and didn't go home, but she had to make him go home before she could accompany him on duty.

Women are so heartless.

Higashino Kanade used his super powers to quickly clean up. Perhaps because his mental strength had grown, the side effects of using super powers had weakened. He no longer felt sick and dizzy all the time.

Does this mean that he will be able to use his superpowers to draw in the future, and draw a comic strip a day, becoming a true plagiarist? Oh, no, a true plagiarist is well-rounded, not only drawing comics, but also writing novels, making animations, filming movies, composing music, and if conditions permit, live broadcasting, acting, and appearing on variety shows.

Oh my god, when I think about it carefully, plagiarists have a hard time.

He can't be so versatile. He can just draw comics and books. If he has enough time, he can make a personal animation.

He draws comics every day, and occasionally he hopes that his drawings can move, have colors, sounds, and music, instead of being motionless and silent on paper. He also wants to make his own IF ending for some anime with depressing endings.

He recently watched an animation that really made him feel upset, so he has been thinking about how to change the ending of the animation. He is preparing to draw a fan book and post it on P station so that everyone can heal the ending.

How can there be an animation that starts with happiness and ends with sadness? This editor is really damn stupid. Although he also conceived such a story when he was drawing "False Hero", with a comedy beginning and a tragic ending, the happier it is at the beginning, the sadder it is at the end. This strong contrast makes readers feel even more sad when they think that the happy protagonist group is left with only one person in the end.

But he was just thinking about it and would not do it. Even if he really became a psychopath and drew like this, it was him who was hurting the readers, not others.

He can, but others can't.

When it comes to double standards, the despicable Higashino Zou feels justified.

However, as a professional cartoonist, he has always believed that the process of a story is important, but the ending is more important, because an ending is an affirmation or negation of the content of the story itself.

The Bad End is certainly unforgettable, but the Happy End is also often recalled.

Higashino Kanade doesn't like tragedy. Even if his comics return to the content of the knife, he will not tell a tragic story. After all, reality is bitter enough, why should we look for bitterness in the virtual world? He wants to draw the knife plot, both for the beginning, development, turning point and ending, and to give readers some adjustment.

The most important thing is that a good ending can elevate the whole story, while a bad ending can ruin the story. In the ending of despair and hope, regardless of his personal preference, according to the philosophy and readership of Weekly Shonen Jump, he should tell a story of choosing hope.

This is why he wants to have a harem. The romantic ending would be him and Hongxia or someone else drifting apart, but he doesn't want such an ending.

The future without Hong Xia is not the future he wants.

Of course, it can't be just Hongxia, there also needs to be Konata, Nozomi, Ichiri, and it would be best if there was also a Yuzuru, so that's called a balanced diet.

After the shift, Higashino Kanade packed his schoolbag and returned to the studio.

When he returned to the studio, the two assistants were gone, leaving only Hiroi Kikuri.

"Welcome home."

When Hiroi Kikuri saw Higashino Kanade coming back, she showed great enthusiasm.

"No more wine?"

Dong Ye Zou raised an eyebrow.

It was not often that the drunkard ran to the door with a smile to welcome him back to the studio. He was either a traitor or a thief. He must have run out of wine at home to be so enthusiastic, just like a dog.

"You can say that."

Hiroi Kikuri smiled, and the smile on her face looked like a Shiba Inu.

It really looks like a dog.

Higashino Kanade resisted the urge to pat his head, did not change his shoes, and said, "Then come with me to buy it."

"Eh? I want to go too?!"

Hiroi Kikuri looked reluctant. Although her personality was somewhat like a dog's when she was sober, she was not a dog after all, so she didn't like to go out and have fun.

"Ah."

Higashino Kanade nodded.

There might be a lot of things to buy later, so I will need the help of Kikuri Hiroi.

Hiroi Kikuri asked with a smile: "Is there any benefit?"

"I won't raise your rent."

Higano Kanade's words left Hiroi Kiku dumbfounded.

Hey, rent? Didn’t we agree to live here for free?

Seeing Hiroi Kikuri's smile disappear, Tono Kanade, who had successfully frightened people, was satisfied. He smiled and said, "No kidding, how about using a large cup today?"

"Okay!" Seeing that Higashino Kanade was joking, the heartless Hiroi Kikuri regained her smile and said jokingly, "Higashino-kun, you are so nice. I am about to fall in love with you."

"Ugly rejection."

Higashino Kanade started telling lies with his eyes open.

"That's such a shame."

Because she knew that she was good-looking, Hiroi Kikuri was not angry at all when Higashino Kanade said that. Instead, she smiled even more happily.

It's great to have a roommate, much happier than living alone. What's even better is that you can eat and live with him, you don't have to pay for food and housing, even drinking doesn't cost you money.

Sadly, those days are coming to an end.

Hiroi Kikuri was wearing shoes and looked out the door at Tono Kanade who was looking into the distance and sighed imperceptibly.

I really want to drink...

Chapter 46: Pheasant Stewed with Poisonous Mushrooms

The only person in Yidizhi’s family is Yidizhi Hongxia.

Her sister, Ichichi Xingge, was not at home and no one knew where she was fooling around.

This made her feel much more relaxed. It was hard to take care of a troublesome and useless sister when she came home. Especially when she was busy running around and her sister who did nothing was pointing and giving orders, it made her want to punch her sister.

“I can watch TV happily.”

Being alone at home, Ichichi Hongxia decided to make herself a cup of instant noodles for the first time in a long time.

Watch TV, chat with Xiaozou, do homework, and practice drums.

The half afternoon and evening without my sister were relaxing and enjoyable.

While watching a variety show about a band, Ijichi Hongxia was eating cup noodles.

"The band..."

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly remembered her wish to form a band.

Well, that's difficult.

A band must have at least three people. A guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. The guitarist or bassist can also be the lead singer. We have the guitarist. Although he is a beginner, I heard from Xiaozou that Goto is learning very seriously. We have Ryo as the bassist and ourselves as the drummer. So what about the lead singer?

Ryo or Goto?

I don't think any of them work.

As for forming a band, Ijichi Hongxia is still in the stage of being excited. Because of the existence of Higashino Kanade and knowing that her mother is always by her side, Xingge did not give up playing music and the dream of becoming a popular band to open a live house, and Hongxia's dream of forming a band is not that deep.

Besides, she is only a junior high school student now. Although she wants to become the best drummer in the world, it is just an idea. Her skills are very amateur.

Among Yamada Ryo, Ijichi Nikka, and Goto Ichiri, Ijichi Nikka spends the least time practicing.

As for the alcoholic bassist who lives in the studio, she now practices bass longer every day than Ichiri Goto.

This is due to both her hardworking nature and the diligent environment in the studio.

Even though it seems that Higashino Kanade often slacks off, he actually only finds time to slack off because he is diligent enough.
