Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

They have all been to places suitable for dating in Shimokitazawa, so she didn't have any particular place she wanted to go. Since Xiaozou said she wanted to go to the game city, then they could go.

"The rain seems to have subsided."

Higashino Kanade opened an umbrella and held Ichichi Kouka's hand and walked into the rain.

The sound of rain hitting the umbrella makes a pleasant sound, which is very relaxing.

“I don’t know if it will stop.”

Ichichi Hongxia looked up at the sky. Dating on a rainy day was not a happy thing, mainly because it would easily get clothes and skirts dirty, and the wet feeling was not very comfortable.

"If we stop, let's go to the river. I want to take some pictures."

Higashino Kanade said, patting his backpack.

Whether he is going to school or not, as long as he goes out except for exercise, he basically carries this bag, which contains paintbrushes, sketchbooks and SLR cameras to record beautiful pictures.

As a cartoonist, it is important to go out and collect materials. There are always things in daily life that give him inspiration, and he wants to remember these things not only in his mind, but also in his paintings and photos.

"it is good."

Ichichi Hongxia agreed softly.

There was a constant flow of cars on the rainy streets, but there were few pedestrians on the road.

On the way to the game city, Tono Kanade and Ijichi Kouka bought some food and drinks, and ate leisurely while chatting.

“Takoyaki is really delicious.”

Ijichi Hongxia stuffed two takoyaki in one mouthful, her cheeks puffed up like a giant hamster that had stolen food.

Cute, I want...I want to rub it.

This is what Higashino Kanade thought and did.

"What are you doing!"

Ijichi Hongxia was rubbed on the face by Tono Kanade, and she looked confused and disgusted.

"So cute, I want to rub it."

Higashino Kanade didn't rub it for too long. He withdrew his hand in time and fed Ijichi Hongxia one of his own takoyaki.

"Aww!"

Ichichi Hongxia ate her takoyaki without saying a word. After thinking for a while, she said with a smile, "It's not surprising."

"Really? Then would you be surprised if I kiss you?"

Higashino Kanade said this as she moved closer to Ichichi Kouka's greasy mouth, which tasted like takoyaki.

"Surprising!" Ichichi Hongxia took a step back, rolled her eyes at Tono Kanade and said, "Xiao Kanade, look at the atmosphere. It's not suitable for a kiss at all, okay?"

After so many dates, Ichichi Kouka was ready to kiss Higashino Kanade. But kissing also has to follow the basic law. The time is wrong, the place is wrong, and the atmosphere is wrong. Why are they going to kiss?

In any case, it should have been by the river at night, the two of them talking about their future ideals, their bodies getting closer and closer because of the cold wind, and gradually the feelings and atmosphere were such that they naturally kissed.

"So what kind of atmosphere do you think is appropriate? The atmosphere of watching a romantic movie?"

As he spoke, Higashino Kanade took out his cell phone to see if there was any suitable romance movie to watch today.

"Kissing in a romantic movie is too cliché."

Ijichi Hongxia's eyes turned into cat eyes, and her mouth turned into a cat mouth, as if to say, "Xiaozou, you really don't understand anything."

"How about that? We go on a boat and then the boat hits an iceberg. I'm in the water and you're on the raft. We hug each other tightly and then we kiss."

Higashino Kanade complained sharply.

He felt that as long as one party wanted to kiss and the other party didn't object, it would be enough. It was a difficult thing to get the time, place and atmosphere right.

“This one is pretty good, but I don’t like Bad End.”

Ichichi Hongxia smiled.

This is going to be a performance of "Titanic", but she likes Xiaozou very much and doesn't want him to feed the fish in the sea.

"That's really a shame."

Higashino Kanade spread his hands. The movies he watched were mostly animated movies and zombie movies. Kissing was rare in such movies, and even if there was kissing, it would require preparation for H kissing.

To be honest, it's the same for him. Kissing is more like a signal of having sex.

This cannot be blamed on him, but on Konata and Naoko, because Konata always does weird things after kissing him, and Naoko often does the same.

Chatting casually, Higashino Kanade and Ichichi Hongxia arrived at the game city. There were more people here, and many couples were showing their affection. There were also many children. Although they didn't have much money to play, they could watch others play.

"How pitiful." Dongye Kanade laughed mercilessly at the children. "Alas, unlike me, I have money and can play whatever I want."

"You are so mean."

Ijichi Kouka laughed when she saw Tono Kanade secretly showing off.

What are you competing with kids for? Isn't it normal for kids to not have money to play with?

"This is not a bad intention, but a lot of happiness is based on the comparison between people, such as fishing."

Higashino Kanade gave an example.

"fishing?"

Yidizhi Hongxia didn't understand.

"You'll understand when we go fishing someday."

Talking about this, Higashino Kanade suddenly wanted to go fishing. It was a bit boring to always stay at home playing games and go to the cinema or amusement park when going out. It would be better to go outing, fishing and feel the nature.

If you are lucky, you might meet a beautiful girl fishing or camping.

"Okay, let's go fishing someday."

After hearing what Higano Kanade said, Ichichi Higurashi also became interested in fishing. She smiled and fantasized, "Maybe I can catch a shiny Magikarp."

"Maybe we can catch a black fish with dreadlocks."

Higashino Kanade's face turned gloomy when he thought of the black mermaid.

A good fairy tale turned into a horror story, and the image of the mermaid emerging from the water looked like an alien soaking in the sea.

"What are you saying that I don't understand?"

Ijichi Hongxia blinked.

"No, I just seemed to see the future, and saw that the mermaid was adapted into a black merman."

Higashino Kanade rubbed his eyes and shook his head, trying to get rid of the images in his mind that had become particularly clear because of his superpowers.

"No way."

Ichichi Hongxia looked suspicious.

"I hope not."

Higashino Kanade hopes that there won't be such a masterpiece in this world, but seeing that some events in this world are similar to those in another world, he is very worried. However, it is not certain, after all, some major events in this world did not happen, maybe there will be no black mermaids, but small matches (Bushi) selling black people.

In the afternoon, Higashino Kanade and Ichichi Kouka went to the fishing tackle store to buy fishing rods. Because they talked about fishing during lunch and became more and more excited, they agreed to go fishing together next week or the week after next when they were free, and invite everyone to go outing, camping and fishing in the suburbs.

Chapter 38 Psychic Technique

Winter vacation is here.

On Christmas Eve, Higashino Kanade returned home after a long absence.

He and Xiaoling spent Christmas Eve at Kotokata's house with Kotokata and Uncle Sojiro.

Today, Mom and Dad will close the store early and then come back to drink with Uncle Sojiro, so we don’t need to eat too much for dinner, and we will have a midnight snack around eleven or twelve o’clock.

During dinner, Tono Kanade talked to Izumi Sojiro about him and Konata going fishing, hoping that Izumi Sojiro could go with them and drive to help carry fishing and camping equipment.

"Fishing? Okay, let's go before the New Year, and then we can make sashimi from the fish we catch."

When Izumi Sojiro saw that his son-in-law asked him out to play, which was rare, he agreed without hesitation.

"Freshwater fish is not easy to make sashimi."

If Higashino Kanade remembers correctly, sashimi is all saltwater fish, and freshwater fish have far more parasites than marine fish.

"It's just a casual remark. You can do something else when the time comes."

Izumi Sojiro was just joking. If this could catch any fish, he would let Xiaozou's father make boiled fish.

"Dad, by then, except for Xiaozou, all the others will be girls. They will all be my friends. Don't be too much of an uncle."

Izumi Konata thought of giving Izumi Sojiro a heads-up in advance for those who were going to play.

Nozomi, Yuzuru, Rin, Pochi, Ichiri, and maybe also Kiuri's sister and Nijika's sister Hoshika. By that time, it will be difficult for her to be explained to her by her father.

"No problem, no problem."

When Izumi Sojiro heard what Izumi Konata said, his expression became serious. If that was the case, he would just take good pictures of the scenery, and forget about the girls. In fact, he didn't particularly like taking pictures of girls, but every time he saw those young girls, he would think of his wife, who used to be as pure and beautiful as them.

Oh, that's right, what if Uncle Sojiro becomes a pervert?

Higashino Kanade didn't expect it at first, but Izumi Konakata was worried after hearing what he said. He was very familiar with his uncle's perversion. After all, men know men best. Even though his uncle agreed very well now, he might not be able to resist taking pictures when the time comes.

No, this won’t work. We have to think of a way.

After a little thought, he came up with an idea.

I'll give it a try when I get back. Although I've been hesitating whether to do so, I think I should give it a try for the sake of this recipe.

After dinner, Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata said they had something to do and would come back later, and then went home.

He ran to the study and found a thick, old book on the bookshelf. He then opened the book, which was titled "Book of the Dead" and was all in Japanese. He found the "Spiritual Communication" chapter in the catalog to see what materials were needed.

Blood, broken bones, eyeballs, hearts...

Each of these ingredients is worse than the other, but it doesn't specify whether they are from human or animal, and apart from the blood, it doesn't say anything else has to be fresh. It should be fine if you buy fresh chicken blood and use stale stuff for the other things.

The scholar said that materials are not the most important thing. The most important thing is the spiritual power of the psychic. If the spiritual power is strong enough, it is not impossible to successfully communicate with the spirits by just drawing a magic circle without using ritual materials.

I don’t think I can communicate with you through any weird things.

Higashino Zou was a little worried. If it was just an ordinary evil spirit, it would be fine. But if it was a communication with an evil god, he didn't know whether he would tear the evil god apart with his own hands or be killed by the evil god.

However, his superpowers are very strong now, and the book doesn't say that psychic communication will be distorted, so it should be fine.

This is an everyday film set, not a supernatural one, so there is most likely no problem.

I'll go buy some materials and give it a try tomorrow.

Higashino Kanade wrote down the materials and returned to Quan's house.

There was no one at home, and it was meaningless for him to stay at home alone. He might as well go play with Konata, and sleep directly when he was tired. Uncle Sojiro eventually knew that he and Konata were dating, and Uncle Sojiro also knew that he was dating other girls, but he didn't point it out.

Izumi Sojiro couldn't make it clear on this matter. It would be embarrassing if he did. After all, his daughter had already approved of it. If he objected, it might cause a rift in his relationship with her. So as an old father, he could only compromise for his daughter.

But he was really envious of Higashino Kanade. He only had a legal loli wife, while Kanade had both a legal loli girlfriend and other types of girlfriends. He was just envious.

I hope it won’t turn into a hatchet ending later.

Izumi Sojiro was standing at the door drinking tea, and shook his head as he looked at Izumi Konakata and Higashino Kanade playing video games in the room.

They can maintain such passionate feelings in junior high school, but I wonder if they can still maintain such feelings when they enter high school, graduate from high school, and are in their twenties.

Love is not always smooth sailing. Love between two people is bumpy enough. Xiaozou's love with multiple people will be very tough. But there are also couples who only have small quarrels and never have big conflicts. It's just that there are very few such couples. The most important thing is that Xiaozou feels it is unrealistic to fall in love with so many people without conflicts.

It can't be that all girls come from the two-dimensional world, with gentle and innocent personalities, who will never let go once they set their eyes on someone, and will always love them and never fall in love with someone else.

No way, no way, it can't be true.

If this is the case, Izumi Sojiro will not be able to accept it and he will be jealous.

"Hey, it's so cold."

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Higashino Kanade felt like someone was staring at him with malicious intent. He turned around, but saw nothing.

"Maybe Sister Juli is complaining about you. She is spending Christmas Eve alone today."

Izumi Konata thought of Hiroi Kikuri who was alone tonight and couldn't help but smile.
