Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"Kiri, what birthday gifts do you think girls will like?"

Higashino Kanade glanced at Hiroi Kikuri who was leaning against the wall, holding her bass and playing it.

Today is a day off for Hiroi Kikuri. She stayed in the studio all day without going out. Because alcohol is strictly controlled, she can only play the bass to comfort herself (?).

"liquor."

Hiroi Kikuri answered immediately.

"I'll give you a punch."

If Dongye Zou had known this earlier, he would not have asked. This drunkard is like a dog's mouth that cannot spit out ivory. He just talks about drinking every day. He is really a fool.

"Okay, okay, as long as there's wine to drink, two punches are no problem."

Hiroi Kikuri had a smile on her face.

She was joking. Although it was true that she wanted to drink, after so long, her dependence on alcohol had decreased a lot.

Unfortunately, she found that her dependence on alcohol had decreased, but she seemed to have become dependent on something else. This dependence might be comparable to the alcohol that made her addicted, or even surpass it, in the long run.

"Seriously, what gift would you like to receive for your birthday?"

Higashino Kanade knew that Hiroi Kikuri's advice was unreliable, but she was a girl after all, and her suggestions might provide some reference.

"Bass, guitar, wine."

Hiroi Kikuri can play both bass and guitar, but she has never bought a new guitar since she broke it. If possible, she would like to have a new guitar.

"what about others?"

Higashino Kanade looked at Hiroi Kikuri. Among these three things, the bass or the guitar, could be given to Hongxia. Although Hongxia was a drummer, she should also be interested in bass and guitar. As for Konata and Nozomi, neither of them would be suitable.

"A check you can fill out at will."

Hiroi Kikuri gave Higashino Kanade an answer that was unexpected but reasonable.

"Sleep well and dream sweetly."

Higashino Kanade looked at this whimsical bassist.

There are too many people in this world who want to be able to fill out checks at will. Such a beautiful thing definitely exists, but it will never happen to Hiroi Kikuri.

After joking, Hiroi Kikuri stopped talking nonsense and thought seriously, then said, "I think as long as the gift you give is not perfunctory and not too outrageous, they will like it."

If it were her, if someone she liked gave her a gift, even if it was something she didn't like, she would reluctantly accept it. Although she wouldn't carry it with her or put it in a conspicuous place where she could see it at any time, she would keep it well and wait for the day when she didn't like it anymore and then throw it away (Bushi).

"You said nothing."

Higashino Kanade rolled her eyes at Hiroi Kikuri.

"Hats, bracelets, dolls, as long as you give them normal gifts, they should like them." Hiroi Kikuri shook her head and said in a contemptuous manner, "Young people just don't understand. No matter what the gift is, as long as it is given by someone they like, girls will be very happy."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Higashino Kanade didn't believe what Hiroi Kikuri said at all.

"real."

Hiroi Kikuri nodded and talked about soothing music.

"Then why is it that when someone gives a gift to his girlfriend, his girlfriend will dislike it instead?"

Higashino Kanade tried to use cases to refute Hiroi Kikuri's argument.

"Because the feelings have faded, they don't like each other as much anymore, or maybe the gift they gave just happened to not like." Hiroi Kikuri smiled and closed her eyes, then continued, "Since you're dating, whether you're a boy or a girl, you should find out and remember each other's preferences. Giving a gift is such an important thing, but you don't remember the other person's preferences and give them something they don't like. Isn't that the gift giver's fault?"

Boys and girls, both need to pay attention to their significant other. When they cannot be together, they ignore and perfunctorily treat each other, but after losing each other, they will regret it. In short, they will regret it very much.

"It's incredible that such great truths can come out of your mouth."

Higashino Kanade looked at Hiroi Kikuri with surprise.

"What's so incredible? I've drunk more wine than you've drunk Coke."

Hiroi Kikuri clenched her right fist and waved it indignantly.

"Have you ever been in love?"

With just one word, Hiroi Kikuri, who had been shouting just now, became quiet.

Well, it seems that there is none.

If she had been in a relationship, Hiroi Kikuri would not have had this reaction. However, since she is a comic character, and a character in a light yuri animation like "Lonely Rock", it is normal that Hiroi Kikuri has never been in a relationship. After all, there are characters like Teen Bitch in the two-dimensional world, so it cannot be said that there are no such characters in the three-dimensional world, but it can only be said that they are very rare, so rare that he has never seen or heard of them.

Maybe he is trapped in an information cocoon.

Hiroi Kikuri silently played the sad guitar without saying a word.

I'm in my twenties and have never been in a relationship. I'm really sorry.

Although she knew that people didn't have to be in love, sometimes when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she longed for a sweet love.

"I want fire so badly."

It's fine if she doesn't have a love life, but she also doesn't have a good career. Thinking of this, Hiroi Kikuri's bass became even more sad.

"I want, too."

Higashino Kanade said, "Me too."

"What are you talking about, a professional cartoonist from Jump?"

Hiroi Kikuri felt that Higashino Kanade was in Versailles.

No, it's in Versailles!

"Any questions?"

Higashino Kanade blinked his eyes with an innocent look on his face.

"You're not angry? Bad Ringo-sensei~!"

Hiroi Kikuri's voice is very charming when she says "sensei".

"Be normal."

Higashino Kanade was a little uncomfortable with Hiroi Kikuri's sudden crazy behavior. He was used to the naive Hiroi Kikuri, not the charming Hiroi Kikuri.

"I'm normal." Hiroi Kikuri put down her bass and sighed, "I'm so sad. It's even sadder without wine."

"Then you can be sad. I'm going to paint."

Higashino Kanade turned off the game and went to draw.

"Hey, don't leave. It's boring for me to be alone if you leave." When Hiroi Kikuri saw Higashino Kanade running away, she also left the tatami room and continued to complain, "Why does playing rock music cost so much money? When can I support myself just by performing?"

"As long as you don't drink every day."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Hiroi Kikuri learned Higashino Kanade's way of speaking.

"believe it or not!"

Chapter 50 Bands, Rock and Comics

May 5th is Izumi Konakata’s birthday.

Starting today, Momoka is 13 years old. She is no longer a 12-year-old criminal loli, but a 13-year-old viable girl.

After school on Tuesday, Izumi Konata did not pack her schoolbag and rush home with Nishimiya Naoko, but waited for Tono Kanade to be on duty.

The duty in May is over, and the duty in June is here again. In the new month, Higashino Kanade still has to be on duty.

If you want to know the reason, it is that he was arrogant in front of the class teacher again.

This time he will not be on duty for just one month, but two months. He will also be on duty next month.

"It's been hard work, Xiaozou."

At the classroom door, Ichichi Hongxia appeared with a schoolbag on her back.

"There is no other way. Therefore, when God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard."

Higashino Kanade spoke in a very literary way that Ichichi Kouka couldn't understand.

"Ahaha!" Ichichi Hongxia smiled, walked into the classroom and shook her head, saying, "I don't understand."

"Ah, I, I'm coming."

At this time, Goto Ichiri from the next class also came over. Seeing so many people in the classroom, even though she knew them all, her social phobia still broke out.

"Wait a minute, I'll be done soon."

In order to save time, Higashino Kanade simply used his superpowers.

Anyway, they all know that he is a person with super powers, so they don't hesitate to hide it.

Izumi Konata. Nishimiya Shoko, Goto Ichiri, and Ichichi Kouka were all waiting for Higashino Kanade, while Higashino Suzu and Nishimiya Yuzuru, who were finishing school, were also taking the bus to Shimokitazawa.

Today is Izumi Konakata's birthday, but the birthday party is held in Higashino Kanade's studio. Although they can go directly to the studio, Izumi Konakata and Nishimiya Shoko want to wait for Higashino Kanade, so Ichichi Kouka and Goto Ichiri also come to the classroom to wait for Higashino Kanade to finish her shift.

When he was in school, Higashino Kanade was always with Izumi Konata and Nishimiya Shoko, which had long been the envy of countless boys in the school. After school today, he was not only with Izumi Konata and Nishimiya Shoko, but also with Ijichi Koka and Goto Ichiri, which made many boys who saw him not only envious, but also jealous.

Whether it's Konata, Nozomi, Nijigao, or Ichiri, they are all beautiful girls.

It was enviable that Higashino Kanade accompanied one of them, let alone four of them. Among these boys, there were many who had a crush on Izumi Konata, Nishimiya Shoko, Ijichi Nijika, and Goto Ichiri, and some even confessed their love to Konata and Nijika.

It is easy to imagine how much people would hate Higashino Kanade if she went home with them after school.

"Wow, so many hostile looks."

On the way to the school gate, Dongye Kanade felt a strong murderous intent as he passed by the playground.

Alas, there is nothing he can do, because he is naturally beautiful. Kotobuki, Naoko, and Ichiri just like him, and Hongxia also has some feelings for him. Moreover, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Kotobuki is a childhood sweetheart, and Naoko is also a childhood sweetheart. In order to make Naoko like him, he has suffered a lot. Since he met Naoko, he has never given up taking care of Naoko.

Learn sign language, encourage Glass to speak, teach Glass to draw, take Glass out to play, and support Glass in making friends.

As for Ichiri and Nijixia, I'm really sorry about the dream link and having super powers.

Before returning to the studio, Higashino Kanade and his team went to the station to pick up Higashino Suzu and Nishimiya Naoko. When they arrived at the studio, Hiroi Kikuri, who had finished get off work early, was surprised to see Higashino Kanade returning with a group of girls.

"One, two, three, four, five, six."

Hiroi Kikuri counted them and couldn't help but sigh that Higashino Kane was very lucky.

Is this a winner in life? A boy can join a birthday party full of girls, and three of these girls are his girlfriends, and one may become his girlfriend.

Some people are really sinful.

She has a harem at such a young age, and she is curious about what Tono Kanade will do when she gets married in the future.

The girls were not surprised by Hiroi Kikuri's presence. They had heard about this from Higashino Kanade a long time ago, and Izumi Konata had even seen Hiroi Kikuri when she came to the studio before. However, despite this, Higashino Suzu, Nishimiya Yuzuru, and Ijichi Nijika couldn't help but look at Hiroi Kikuri a few more times.

What about the new type?

Ijichi Kouka secretly observed Hiroi Kikuri.

Xiaozou's taste is really wide-ranging.

Although Higashino Kanade said that he was just adopting the bankrupt Hiroi Kikuri and would let her move out once she earned enough money from working, she had known Higashino Kanade for so long that she knew that Higashino Kanade's words were just for sanity and should not be taken seriously.

Other things he said might be taken seriously, but his words about women, especially when he said he had no interest in any pretty girl, not even the slightest interest at all, then that statement absolutely could not be taken seriously.

How can there be such a fickle person in this world?

Love is not easy, Ichichi Hongxia sighed.

She didn't understand why she had a crush on Higashino Kanade. Her face was part of the reason, but what were the other reasons?

What do you want?

Because he is young? Because he can talk to her mother?

No, it's not like that.

Ijichi Kouka shook her head and looked at Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata who were busy preparing dinner, then looked at Nishimiya Shoko, Nishimiya Yuzuru, Higashino Suzu, Hiroi Kikuri who were playing flying chess, and Goto Ichiri who was curled up on the sofa reading a cartoonist.

She thought about the reasons why she liked him, and suddenly remembered the time they met at a live house; she recalled a live house where he, who was not very interested in rock music, watched the live performance with his eyes shining; she also thought of the days when she went to live houses, movies, and gamers with him and Jifang...

It seemed like I fell in love with him unconsciously, and the reason I liked him seemed to be just because I was happy to be with him.

Other than that...
