Is it okay not to want to work hard?

His baby daughter was sleeping with the child next door. Not only were they sharing the same quilt and pillow, but their faces were also close together, making it look like they were hugging each other.

It’s too much, too much. He didn’t even get such treatment, but Xiaozou did.

Damn it, he and Kanata were not so close when they were young, what is this with the young people nowadays, Japanese pills! Oh, no, Xiaozou's parents are Chinese in Japanese, and Xiaozou is Chinese.

Could it be that they are spies sent by China to subvert Japan? They start by corrupting the young people around them, then influence more young people, then directly corrupt the contemporary world, then corrupt social customs, and finally ruin the entire Heisei era? !

Izumi Sojiro has enough imagination. After all, he is a otaku, so how can he not have enough imagination?

No matter what, Izumi Sojiro would never allow Izumi Konata and Higashino Kanade to sleep together. Izumi Sojiro still lives in a yurt. I was wrong, I was kept in the dark by chocolate. I was wrong again, I was kept in the dark. Hey, I was right this time.

In short, Izumi Sojiro always believed that Izumi Konakata slept with Higashino Suzu when she stayed overnight at Higashino's house. If he knew that his daughter slept with Higashino Kanade most of the time and only slept with Higashino Suzu rarely, he might have the intention to kill Higashino Kanade.

Although Izumi Sojiro likes the well-behaved and sensible Higashino Kanade, and he is not particularly opposed to the intimacy between Izumi Konakata and Higashino Kanade, he cannot accept that his daughter is too close to Higashino Kanade. It is okay for childhood sweethearts to have a good relationship, but isn't it too much for them to sleep together at such a young age? If they dare to sleep together in elementary school, he won't dare to think about it in junior high school. He will have to raise his granddaughter in high school!

No, this won't work. In the game, he can accept JK wives, JC wives, JS wives, even if they are not JS age, but the second dimension is the second dimension, because he knows that the second dimension is fake, and the third dimension...

Izumi Sojiro immediately lifted the quilt and carried Izumi Konata back to the room. Because Izumi Konata was sleeping with Higashino Kanade in her arms, Izumi Sojiro took a lot of effort to carry Izumi Konata back to the room without waking her up.

My daughter held me so tightly, it was like she was glued to me.

First he carried Cifang back to his room, and then carried Xiaozou to his room to sleep.

It's true that Izumi Sojiro is a daughter-con, but before he became a daughter-con, he was an adult, and as an adult he has adult responsibilities.

Besides, he and his wife Bifang were childhood sweethearts. He didn't know much about this child, but he could understand his daughter's psychology to some extent. Seeing how much Bifang liked Xiaozou, he couldn't help but think of how much he liked Bifang when he was a child. Of course, he would like Bifang later, now, and in the future, and like her more and more every day.

With the TV on as background music, Izumi Sojiro covered himself with a thick blanket and went to sleep on the sofa. Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata stayed up all night, and he stayed up all night too, but the difference was that Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata played healthy games all night, while he played games that were harmful to health all night.

This cannot be blamed on his lack of determination. With his wife away, he has been feeling lonely and empty at night for so many years. He has to close the door to play with fun things or look at good stuff. How can he get through one unbearable night after another?

Let me put it this way, it's good enough that he didn't become a criminal and didn't abduct, kidnap or imprison JS, JC, or JK. What's wrong with doing things that adults like to do without committing a crime? Is there any problem with that (shock!).

I didn't know who he was explaining to, but Izumi Sojiro's mind was full of random thoughts. He probably had a dream about being arrested and interrogated by the police.

The three of them slept during the day, and when they woke up it was not yet dark, but it was almost dark.

Today is Christmas Eve. Although Japan does not celebrate the Spring Festival, but only New Year's Day, they still like to celebrate Christmas. They celebrate Christmas and Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas. In fact, Christmas Eve is part of Christmas, and Santa Claus also comes on this day.

If you ask why Japan does not celebrate the Spring Festival but celebrates Christmas, it is of course because of modern Westernization.

Get out of Asia and join Europe. Get out of Asia and join Europe.

When talking about Christmas Eve, Higashino Kanade thinks of sending apples in China and eating KFC in Japan. Although sending apples and KFC are both due to successful commercial marketing, the blessing intention and the desire for a lively atmosphere are real.

Of course, this still didn't stop him from thinking it was stupid [beep!] behavior. He could understand it, but he didn't agree with it.

The apples on Christmas Eve are extremely expensive. Some are even beautifully packaged and are super expensive. The apples look big and red but they don’t taste good. The more expensive ones are even coated with wax.

It's not that he believed the rumors on the Internet, but what he actually felt when he ate the apple given by his roommate: the smooth feel and the layer of wax that could be scratched off.

I can only say that he is a profiteer, a big profiteer.

On Christmas Eve, Higashino Kanade thinks of commercial marketing, and on Christmas, it's all about Jesus' hellish jokes, like being unable to slap a mosquito because it flies through the hole between his palms, and the relationship between Jesus and the cross of Christ is the same as the relationship between Kennedy and a sniper rifle with a wild imagination.

Higashino Kanade yawned and thought about Christmas Eve while washing his face.

I really envy this place. Santa Claus is coming to give gifts tonight.

It's a pity that their family doesn't celebrate Christmas Eve. If they did, Mom and Dad would dress up as Santa Claus like Uncle Sojiro did and give them gifts. In that case, he could have made a wish for a digital tablet.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 30 The Six Arts of a Network Gentleman

Sleepy.

At home, Higashino Kanade leaned on the sofa and yawned continuously.

Tonight, Izumi Konata and Izumi Sojiro went to eat at KFC. Izumi Konata invited Higashino Kanade and Higashino Suzu, but Higashino Kanade declined, while Higashino Suzu went.

He is a grown-up, how can he eat KFC? Even on Crazy Thursday, he doesn't eat KFC. If you ask why, it's because he eats McDonald's. Between KFC and McDonald's, he prefers McDonald's. First, he likes McDonald's spicy chicken burgers, and second, he likes drinking Coca-Cola.

KFC is Pepsi and McDonald's is Coca-Cola. As a starter, it is normal for him to eat McDonald's.

Pepsi is just a toilet cleaner. Sugar-free Pepsi is the best toilet cleaner among all toilet cleaners (a bold statement).

If Tono Suzu was at home and Tono Kanade said this, the brother and sister would definitely fight to the death and leave tonight.

Higashino Kanade is a Coca-Cola fan, while Higashino Suzu is a Pepsi fan. Their parents think that Pepsi and Coke are all fine, and even unknown brands of Coke are fine with them.

The brother and sister of the Higashino family are quite interesting. One drinks Coke and the other drinks Pepsi; one likes to eat coriander and the other doesn’t; one can eat Houttuynia cordata (Zheergen) and the other can’t; one doesn’t eat sweet rice dumplings and the other likes to eat sweet rice dumplings.

This is probably why Higashino Kanade and Higashino Suzu had a good relationship before the time travel, but later Higashino Suzu became rebellious when she grew up.

In the past, Higashino Zou was a child. When he was young, he was ignorant and would argue with his sister. Now, Higashino Zou has changed. Although Xiaoling still likes some things he doesn't like and likes some things Xiaoling doesn't like, he won't tease Xiaoling for these little things. He will play with Xiaoling when he has nothing to do. He will give in to his sister in many things instead of lecturing her.

After all, he is an adult, less childish, more stable and mature, which is why he is rarely beaten. However, no matter how stable and mature he is, when he returns to his hometown during the Spring Festival and sees the children of his relatives bullying Xiao Ling, he will still kick them into the cow dung pile in anger.

How can you blame him? There was a pile of cow dung there. If there wasn't any, he wouldn't have turned into a cow dung man. And it was clearly the fault of the little boy who was kicked.

The kid had three major sins. First, he failed to dodge in time and failed to avoid his slow kick. Second, he failed to adjust his direction in time and did not crash into the pile of cow dung. Third, he failed to shut up and turn around, but faced the cow dung and was showered with shit.

Besides, he is still a child. It's New Year and we are all relatives. Don't be too fussy. Suffering a loss is a blessing. Put yourself in his shoes. There is no malice. We are just joking.

If that was the case, he would not be beaten, after all, he was protecting his sister. He was beaten because the child was about to get up, and the child's mother heard the crying and came out of the house, just in time to see the precious child who was kicked back into the cow dung pile by him.

The relative got anxious on the spot and wanted to teach him a lesson, and then had him use his mental hammer empowered by super powers to push him into the cow dung pile. The relative and the unlucky child who scored twice were picked up from the cow dung pile, and had him kick them back into the cow dung pile again.

If he didn't get beaten, it could only mean that his parents loved him very deeply, almost to the point of spoiling him. It's okay to push someone into a pile of cow dung, but it's a bit too much to push someone in when they want to get out. As expected, he got beaten, a mixed beating by both men and women.

After that, a few days later, the kid forgot the pain and provoked him, so he kicked him into the river. He also caught a half-grown chicken and stuffed it into the kid's crotch, and then he beat him up again.

"Why did I get beaten every time during the Chinese New Year?"

Dongye Kanade recalled that he was beaten three times, all in his hometown in China. Twice he was beaten by that naughty kid, and another time he was beaten for setting off fireworks at his second uncle's house late at night and almost burning it down. He and his second uncle had a conflict, so he went back to the village and called his second uncle, but his second uncle didn't hear him and said he was impolite for not calling anyone. He retorted, "There's something wrong with your ears," and that's when the conflict between him and his second uncle began.

Second Uncle has a dirty mouth. Having gone through the six arts of being a gentleman on the Internet, it is impossible for his mouth to be any better. It is even dirtier, more poisonous, and more insidious than Dongye Zou's. Whenever he opens his mouth, he either exposes people's shortcomings or kills them.

If this person was not his second uncle, he would definitely curse and simply draw a circle and curse his second uncle to die soon, and then tell the jokes and embarrassing stories his father told him about his second uncle from childhood to adulthood. He pissed off his second uncle.

If it wasn't for the fact that some people were in their old age and were still children, and didn't care too much about these New Year Buffs and underage Buffs, he would definitely get beaten up more.

Higashino Kanade never had a good impression of his hometown, whether before or after the time travel. The relatives at home were too hypocritical. They might congratulate you on the surface, but they might wish you dead in their hearts.

Other families, such as the Quan family, have a very good relationship with their relatives. Their mother's family has a good relationship with their relatives, but their father's family has a terrible relationship with their relatives. This is because Tono Kanade's father immigrated, and also because the relatives are strong and mean.

Higashino Kanade and Higashino Suzu's generation was different. The relationship between the children was pretty good. Although they only saw each other once a year, their feelings were weak, but the relationship was still there. During the Chinese New Year, they would get together to warm themselves by the fire, set off firecrackers, play chess and other games. The cow dung boy was an exception. It was purely a family education problem.

The children have a good relationship, but the adults, including Dongye Hong, the father of Dongye Zou, are full of intrigue. They have to calculate the money in the red envelopes, the amount of the red envelopes, the gifts, the gifts for parents, and the living expenses of parents.

Why do you give so little red envelopes, while we give so much? Why do we give 100 red and white envelopes to each child, while we give 200 to your children? Why do you only give money to your parents without gifts, while we have to give both gifts and money?

There are arguments about whether or not to take the elderly out to play, who should take them out and take care of them, and how much money to pay for the care.

Dongye Zou and Dongye Ling like to go to their grandparents' house, not their grandparents' house. If they didn't want to see their grandparents who are very kind to them, they really don't want to come here to celebrate the New Year. The uncle, aunt, second uncle, and second aunt are all too annoying. The children of the aunt are also annoying. There are also several cousins, uncles, and aunts...

I have to say that birds of a feather flock together. The relatives on my dad's side are all very petty, but the relatives on my grandparents' side are all very nice. They may not be generous with red envelopes, but they are really good in terms of relationships. They are very good to their parents, brothers, and children.

"So hungry."

Higashino Kanade held his stomach, feeling too sleepy to cook.

On Christmas Eve, my parents were still not at home. Today was a busy day for the store, so they couldn't be at home either. If I wanted them to be at home for New Year's Day, they would be closed from December 12st to January 31rd, and would reopen the store on the 1th.

"I don't want to cook. I'm so hungry."

Higashino Kanade was lying on the sofa, too lazy to move. At this time, it would be nice if there was a beautiful girl with wife attributes to cook for him, preferably wearing a nude apron, and feed him with her own hands after the meal was ready. If she fed him with her own mouth, he would be able to eat it reluctantly.

It would be nice if he could use summoning magic to summon a two-dimensional character who can take care of people. He can do it with Rem, Asuna, Kokoro, Hinazuru Ai, Kafu Chino, or Gokou Ruri. If he didn't feel he could not suppress the little evil god, he thought that edible sandwich sauce could also be used. With that in mind, Medusa is also very nice and an ATM.

If he had a Medusa, would he be financially free?

Just when Higashino Kanade was lost in fantasy, the home phone suddenly rang.

Chapter 31 Urban 伝説シリーズ

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

Higashino Kanade picked up the landline at home and heard an adult male voice on the other end of the line.

“Don’t buy insurance.”

Higashino Kanade yawned and interrupted the other person.

Eat some bread, drink some water and then go to sleep. He didn't sleep last night and Xiaoling came to him at noon and said she was hungry. After eating, he wanted to take a rest and continue to sleep, but he didn't know what was wrong with this person. She was obviously not sleepy, but she insisted on pulling him to play games.

Playing this game makes people energetic, and it is time for dinner while playing.

I don’t know if the person on the other end was confused by what Higashino Kanade said, as it took him nearly ten seconds to say his second sentence.

“No, I’m not a salesperson…”

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded awkward, but Higashino Kanade interrupted him before he could finish his words.

“I don’t buy health supplements either.”

"I'm not a salesman. I don't sell health products or insurance. I'm not a scammer. Uh, can you please let me finish what I'm saying? I..."

"No."

After saying that, Higashino Kanade hung up the phone.

Haha, little guy, you are still pretending. With such a serious tone, what else can it be but a sales pitch? Do you think I can't recognize you when you put on a vest? If you hesitate to say that you are a liar, then it is either a sales pitch or a scam.

There was a man who turned into Cirno because he was so sleepy that he completely forgot that his comic was participating in the Tezuka Award. He never thought that the person who called might not be a salesman, but could be the editor of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Shueisha, Weekly Shonen Jump editorial department.

Yoshida Koji was disheveled in the wind on the balcony.

Hang up, the other party hung up his phone!

From the sound of the voice, it was a boy who answered the phone. Presumably, that boy was Higashino Kanade. He had anticipated various reactions from Higashino Kanade when he called him, but he had never expected such a reaction.

Why did I misunderstand him as a salesman? I didn't even give him a chance to finish his words. Should I say it's impolite, or is it that I have too good an awareness of fraud prevention?

Yoshida Koji called again, and as soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end spoke.

"Hello, I am……"

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

"..."

The wind was very strong today, and Yoshida Koji felt cold in his heart as he sat on the balcony. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were not legal holidays in Japan, so it would be fine if he didn't have a holiday, but he also wanted to contact the cartoonist who won the Tezuka Award. He contacted the cartoonist, but the first person he contacted made him feel bad.

Forget it, let’s contact the other four first.

However, no one would have thought that the first prize of the Tezuka Prize, which had been vacant for thirty years, would be won by an elementary school student.

Geniuses are born young. He became a cartoonist in elementary school. What did he do in elementary school? After thinking about it, it seems that he copied his classmates' homework, read comics and played with friends at home.

The judges of the Tezuka Award and the editors in the editorial department were shocked when they learned that the cartoonist of "Brave" was an elementary school student. After it was confirmed that "Brave" was selected, not only the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Jump", but also the entire comic magazine editorial department of Shueisha and Shogakukan and Kodansha who learned the news were shocked.

It's not that there aren't talented high school cartoonists, there's even one in junior high school, but elementary school students have never seen one, never heard of one, and don't even dare to think about one. A talented high school cartoonist is rare in ten years, a junior high school cartoonist is rare in twenty years, thirty years is not an exaggeration, and an elementary school cartoonist is rare in fifty years.

Why is it fifty years and not a hundred years? It is because Weekly Shonen Jump was established only forty-three years. Although Shueisha was established in 1926, Weekly Shonen Jump was established much later.

It is said that it is a rare event in fifty years. According to the news media's reporting style of fearing chaos in the world, they would probably say it is a rare event in a hundred years. Anyway, there is no difference between fifty years and a hundred years, because "Weekly Shonen Jump" had not been established at that time. In fact, it is also okay to say a thousand years, but that way you can't fool people who read the news.

Did Japan have comics a thousand years ago?

The judges' opinions gave a score out of 5 points, and Higashino Kanade's "The Brave" scored 5 points in almost all items except for one item which got 4 points.

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world. However, the gap between geniuses and ordinary people in comics or paintings is despairing. Geniuses are those who understand things at once and can improve through hard work, while ordinary people understand nothing, nothing at all, or nothing at all.

It is said that diligence can make up for lack of talent, but geniuses are also diligent. Even if his diligence is much weaker than yours, he can still surpass you. If he is as diligent as you, then you will have no hope of catching up with him in this life.

Think about the cartoonists in the industry who have worked hard for many years and are still not able to officially serialize their works until they are in their thirties or forties. Then think about how if their next comic is up to standard, it can be serialized in "Akamaru Jump", and if it can get first place in the current popularity voting ranking, it can be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump". Life is really unfair.

At home, Higashino Kanade was unaware of Yoshida Koji's faint sadness in the wind, he only knew that he was very lonely.

I’m sleepy, but too hungry to sleep; I’m hungry, but too sleepy to move.

The two great desires of mankind are in fierce conflict, and the two sides are at war, with the worst-hit being Tono Kanade who is on the battlefield.

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry. I'm really hungry."

Higashino Kanade started to sing. He sounded good when he sang seriously, but he generally didn't like to sing seriously. He would sing seriously when he was alone, but when there were people around, he would unconsciously want to act weird, especially when Xiaoling was around, he wanted to act weird, probably because he liked to tease Xiaoling when he was a child, he still couldn't help teasing Xiaoling.

But now he has restrained himself and won't make Xiaoling cry like before.

"Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy."
