Is it okay not to want to work hard?

It's unclear whether Higashino Kanade's words were meant to comfort or to poke at Yamada Ryo's wounds. Given his personality, it was probably the latter.

"Xiao Zou, if you talk like that, be careful not to get beaten up on the street."

Ichichi Hongxia waved her little fist, and it was obvious who was going to hit him.

"No, no one can beat me, no one."

Higashino Kanade is very confident. Unless there are other people with super powers in this world, he is invincible in a one-on-one fight.

"If, I mean if, I attack you from behind with a pistol, how will you respond?"

Quan Chifang deliberately made trouble when he heard what Dongye Zou said.

"Then die."

Higashino Zou didn't think twice.

"Can't you just fight back?"

Quan Qifang was shocked. He didn't expect Dongye Kanade's answer to be so truthful.

"If it was a headshot, I would definitely be dead. If it was shot somewhere else and it wasn't a fatal blow, I might be able to fight back, but I would still die."

While drinking sour plum juice, Higashino Kanade thought about the scenario where he was really attacked by a gunman.

All we can say is that his superpowers are still not strong enough to provide 24-hour 360° protection without blind spots.

"How weak."

Izumi Konata knew that Tono Kanade, a superpower user, was not as strong as in the comics, but he was still a little surprised to know that he couldn't even block bullets.

He is too weak. How can this person with super powers be so weak?

What are they talking about?

Yamada Ryo looked at Tono Kanade and Izumi Konata and had no idea what they were talking about.

Anime? Games? Light novels? Or maybe it's Free America, where shootings happen every day?

As the dishes were served, Yamada Ryo quickly put his doubts behind him.

Today's performance was a failure, so she wanted to turn her grief and anger into appetite and eat a lot to comfort herself for the failure of her first bass performance.

There were six people at Haidilao, including Tono Kanade, Izumi Konata, Nishimiya Shoko, Ijichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo, and Hiroi Kikuri, but only five of them were eating, and the drunk Hiroi Kikuri fell asleep leaning on a chair.

"Speaking of which, if we eat here, wouldn't it be better if we don't call it Yili?"

Izumi Konata suddenly thought of Goto Ichiri. She felt like something was missing when she arrived at Haidilao. When she saw the pink pig brain on the table, she remembered Goto Ichiri's pink Nodame snake.

"I asked her when she was leaving school, and she said she went home."

Higashino Kanade did not forget Goto Ichiri, but when he invited Ichiri to dinner, he was rejected.

"real or fake?"

Quan Cifang didn't believe it. She always felt that Yili was lying.

This is not impossible. After all, people tell lies without thinking. Lies come out of their mouths easily.

"do not know."

Higashino Kanade didn't care. He chewed the beef and thought about whether he should go to school tomorrow. The cultural festival lasted for three days. He would play on the first day, and he wanted to stay at home on the second and third days. Even if he didn't paint much, it would be great to just lie at home and do nothing.

Going to school is like going to a grave, even if it is a cultural festival, it feels like torture. He has played all the class projects that his classmates should play, and there is no suitable opportunity to play the games that are not supposed to be played with Konata and Naoko at school. Even if the opportunity comes, it depends on the willingness of Konata and Naoko.

Ghs at school is too stimulating. He can accept it, but Cifang and Nitro may not.

Even though Jifang's head is full of H thoughts, if it really happened at school, Ghs might run away, and it's even more so for Xiaozi. But Yili, if he wanted to, could force her down at school, even if it was the first time.

They had this dinner for nearly three hours. When everyone had finished eating, they began to take a break, chatting, playing with their phones, and checking how many customers were still in the store. Only Yamada Ryo was still eating.

His mouth was like a vacuum cleaner, sucking up the contents of the pot.

"Small body, big appetite."

Izumi Konata was surprised to see that Yamada Ryo had been eating from the beginning to now. They were chatting while eating, but Yamada Ryo was just talking and basically didn't talk. Is her stomach a black hole? How can she eat more than Xiaoling?

She originally thought Xiaoling was a big eater, but she didn't expect Liang to be even bigger.

As expected, there is always someone better than you, and there are always bigger foodies than foodies.

"Ryou isn't usually like this. Maybe he's in a bad mood."

It was also the first time that Ijichi Hongxia saw Yamada Ryo eat so much.

I can only say that Liang was in a really bad mood. The appetite that turned from his grief and anger was too terrifying.

"Don't eat it and end up in the hospital."

Higashino Kanade was a little worried about how Yamada Ryo would eat.

He didn't remember that Yamada Ryo had a big eater setting, and if he ate so much, he might really end up in the hospital.

Just as Higashino Kanade finished speaking, Yamada Ryo put down his chopsticks, leaned back in his chair with a dying look on his face, and said weakly, "I can't eat anymore!"

"Are you feeling better?"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Yamada Ryo's bulging belly and wanted to pat it. The belly looked like she was pregnant, and it felt like the feel of patting it would be no worse than her own drum set.

"Much better, but still uncomfortable."

Yamada Ryo tilted his neck, his voice still weak.

"Uncomfortable?"

Yidi Zhihong was puzzled.

"I ate too much. My stomach hurts and I feel like vomiting."

Yamada Ryo rubbed his stomach with one hand and covered his mouth with the other hand with an unpleasant expression.

"Deserve it!"

Ijichi Hongxia pretended to pat Yamada Ryo's belly, but after looking at Yamada Ryo's expression, she raised her right hand high and then dropped it gently.

"Hongxia, I feel so bad, I want to vomit, I think I'm pregnant."

Yamada Ryo held his belly with both hands and played a prank.

"You are just bored."

Ijichi Kouka really wanted to pat Yamada Ryo's belly, but she knew that if she did that Ryo might really vomit.

Because Yamada Ryo was too full, they chatted for another twenty minutes. By the time they paid the bill and came out of the store, it was already very late and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

It's twelve o'clock, it's time for everyone to go back home and find their own mothers.

"Oh, what trouble, this guy."

Higashino Kanade was feeling depressed as he carried Hiroi Kikuri who was sleeping soundly on his back.

"Same here."

Ijichi Hongxia supported Yamada Ryo, who was unable to walk, with a bitter face.

These two bassists are both so troublesome.

Chapter 10 Wings, Tail and Stickers

Higashino Kanade and his friends took a taxi home. Hiroi Kikuri was drunk and Yamada Ryo was so full that he had difficulty walking. Higashino Kanade had no choice but to call two taxis.

Tonight, Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo stayed overnight in the studio.

Although Higashino Kanade could afford the taxi fare, Ichichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo didn't want him to spend too much. They didn't know how much the taxi would cost to go to the studio and then to their homes.

Anyway, there is no school tomorrow, it is the school's cultural festival, and neither of them has anything to do, so it is no problem for them to spend the night in the studio.

"Is this Higashino-san's studio?"

As soon as she entered Higashino Kanade's studio, Yamada Ryo was surprised. She didn't expect Higashino Kanade's studio to be so big and have so many books in it. There were comics, magazines, and many literary books.

It's incredible, if only she had such a big studio at her age, I can only say that cartoonists are all about making money.

It seems I have to find an opportunity to ask for an autograph. If I get down and out in the future, maybe I can sell the autograph and have a good meal.

Yamada Ryo looked at Tono Kanade and his mind became active.

"Ok?"

Higashino Kanade suddenly felt a chill. He used his superpowers to look around and was a little surprised when he didn't see any ghosts.

There is no ghost in the studio, so what was the feeling just now?

This side? Glass? Hongxia? One mile?

No, this chill might be coming from Uncle Sojiro.

It is normal for Uncle Sojiro to have resentment towards his daughter since she often does not come home and always lives in his studio.

Back to high school, Higashino Kanade threw Hiroi Kikuri onto the bed, and the rest was left to Konata and Naoko. He was going to prepare the futons for the tatami room and lay them out for Nijika, Ryo, Konata, Naoko and the others.

Tonight, he slept in his own room, while the four girls slept in the tatami room.

That's right, someone might knock on his door at night, and he might be sleeping with Konata and Nozomi the next morning.

In the room, Higashino Kanade was carrying sets of bedding from the closet. At this moment, Izumi Konata's voice sounded faintly behind him.

"Xiaozou, you brought a new girl back."

"Look at what you said. What do you mean by bringing a girl home again? It makes me sound like a scumbag who often brings girls home to spend the night."

Higashino Kanade was not convinced. He had brought Kikuri back once before, so how could it happen again? What a shame.

"Aren't you a scumbag?"

Quan Konata squatted next to Dongye Kanade, his tone pure and innocent.

"Yes, but I'm not the scumbag who kidnaps girls to spend the night with. I'm the scumbag who has his heart broken into many petals and wants everyone to be happy. Scumbags can't be generalized. I'm a good scumbag who's not that bad among scumbags."

Higashino Kanade talked nonsense in a serious manner.

No matter whether Fang Fang believed it or not, he believed it anyway.

"I believe it."

Quan Cifang smiled.

Xiaozou is really good at talking nonsense. It's a pity that he doesn't become a politician. Politicians are always deceiving, and Xiaozou is the same. He talks nonsense without stopping.

"It's just right that you're here, help me make the bed."

As he spoke, Tono Kanade placed a set of bedding on Izumi Konata's head.

"You are so lazy."

Izumi Konata held the quilt on his head and bumped into Tono Kanade's arm.

"I'm not lazy, I'm trying to be efficient. It's already one o'clock, and if I dawdle any longer it will be two. By the time I finish taking a shower and brushing my teeth, it will probably be dawn."

Dongye Kanade looked at the time. They probably wouldn't be able to go to school tomorrow, at least not in the morning, as they couldn't get up.

"Don't worry, you won't be able to sleep before dawn."

Izumi Konata stared at Tono Kanade with his eyes shining.

She looked as if she wanted to eat people, to devour them alive and suck the marrow out of their bones.

"Tsk, damn it."

When Higashino Zou saw Izumi Konata like this, he knew that he would not be able to sleep today.

After a while, Tono Kanade asked, "Are you the only one here, or is Nitro coming too?"

"What do you say?"

There was an obvious smile in Izumi Konata's voice.

"I see. Then you two can sleep in my room and I'll sleep in the game room. It will be fun if Hongxia and Yamada catch you two."

For safety reasons, Dongye Kanade decided that the two of them would sleep in his room while he would sleep in the game room. This way, after taking a shower, he could sneak into his room quietly and close the door of the game room. There was no way Hongxia and Liang would know that the three of them were having a party late at night.

"No, I will convince them to join us."

Quan Chifang patted his chest, looking inexplicably proud.
