Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Chapter 65 Soft is also good

On the way home, Higashino Kanade went to buy some vegetables.

Now he is becoming more and more like a husband. He goes to school during the day, buys groceries and cooks at home after school, and does laundry, drying quilts and cleaning during holidays.

He once imagined a life with a lovely wife at home, who would say to him "Do you want to eat or take a shower first, or... eat me first?" as soon as he opened the door. However, the reality is that when he returns to the studio, there is usually no one at home. Even if Kikuri is at home, she will not be as virtuous as Kikuri, washing clothes and cooking, running the bath water, and asking her whether she wants to take a shower or enjoy her. Instead, she will play bass and play games in her room or the game room.

This is what it’s like to have a girlfriend who plays rock music, she doesn’t care about her family.

Of course, he also has some responsibility for Kikuri becoming like this, because he was too good to Kikuri. He was the one who did all the work in the studio, even washing her underwear.

Higashino Kanade didn't know when this started, why he was the one washing Kikuri's clothes, especially her underwear, instead of Kikuri washing them herself. All I can say is that he is too kind, too gentle, and too considerate to girls. (bushi)

To be a little narcissistic, to be honest, if you want to have a harem, gentleness is an indispensable condition. After all, if you are not gentle enough and want to have a harem legally, you can only be a male succubus or a male vixen.

"Another person."

Higashino Kanade returned to the studio with the dishes and couldn't help but sigh.

There was no one in the studio, and Konata and Naoko went home and didn't come to the studio. But it didn't matter, if he didn't come, then he wouldn't have to come, otherwise he would have to go to Ghs in the evening, and tomorrow would become another uninspiring day. But then again, even if Konata and Naoko were not there, there was still Kikuri at home, and even if Kikuri was not convenient, he could find Hongxia and experience Hongxia's, um, jade feet.

It’s not that Juri can’t do it, it’s just that the feeling Juri gives him is different from that of Hongxia, because Juri doesn’t have the immaturity and shame of Hongxia. The same behavior is more exciting when done with Hongxia than with Juri.

After returning to the studio, Higashino Kanade washed the vegetables and cooked first. After preparing the ingredients, she went to paint and waited for Hiroi Kikuri to come back.

Not long after, his phone rang and a LINE message came.

[I won’t be back for dinner today]

The sender is Hiroi Kikuri.

【…】

Dongye Kan replied with six points and sighed, "Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy."

There was food for two people cooked in the pot, but Kikuri said she would not come back for dinner, so now the food could not be finished.

Higashino Kanade sighed as he looked at the empty studio. He thought it was noisy when there were many people around, and worried that he couldn't control his shyness when there were few people around. He felt lonely when there was no one around. Why was he so hypocritical?

It would be nice if Yuzuru was here, so he wouldn't have to worry about being awkward with her or her making noises. But it wouldn't be okay with Xiaoling, because it's impossible for her to be awkward, but she would definitely make noises by asking for food.

【Are you lonely? 】

Hiroi Kikuri replied.

【No】

【Remember to come back early】

Higashino Kanade denied it.

【it is good】

Hiroi Kikuri agreed.

Not long after, she sent another message.

[If there is a celebration party, please come pick me up]

When Higashino Kanade saw the message, he sighed again, but still replied and agreed. He really became a husband who played the role of a wife, and Kikuri played the role of a husband who worked and entertained outside.

Not only did he not come back for dinner, he also had to pick her up. The most important thing was that he really had to pick her up, not to mention that she was drunk and made trouble. If he met a bad guy, his life story would probably change from a daily animation to a crime suspense animation, and he would be the villain.

There is no other way, I can only be more diligent in picking up Juli myself. Otherwise, I can't install a GPS on Juli to monitor her every day, that would be too morbid.

Fortunately, after meeting him, Kikuli has taken better care of herself. Although she can't drink much, she also knows that she can't drink too much. If someone persuades her to drink, she doesn't need to worry. Kikuli is not Ichiri after all. If someone persuades her to drink and she doesn't want to drink, she can refuse. If she can't refuse, she will curse and give the middle finger.

If it's just one thing... She's hard to refuse, if she's a little more assertive, she might be dragged into a love hotel, and in less than three days she'll become a ball of fluff.

"Flannel ball, fluff ball, fluff ball."

Mumbling strange words, Higashino Kanade continued to draw comics. Since Kikuri wasn't coming back, he would just eat instant noodles, and throw all the cut vegetables into the noodles. He would put the cooked rice aside for tomorrow and make fried rice with eggs, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish it today, and the remaining rice would only be enough for one person tomorrow.

"I am back!"

The door of the studio was roughly pushed open, and a vibrant voice came from the entrance.

"So fast?"

Dongye Kanade heard the noise and looked up, a little confused.

"What's so fast?"

Hiroi Kikuri came to the living room, which was also the location of the studio. She didn't understand what Higashino Kanade meant.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat? Why are you back so early?"

Higashino Kanade didn't expect Hiroi Kikuri to come back so early. Did she not eat?

"You said you'd come back early, and it's already nine o'clock. It's not too early." Hiroi Kikuri looked puzzled and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"No, ah, it's really nine o'clock."

Dongye Zou opened his phone to check the time and found that it was indeed past nine o'clock.

It's so strange. It feels like I didn't do anything. I just drew for a while, but how come it's already nine o'clock? Maybe I have traveled through time.

"Want me to cook for you?"

When Hiroi Kikuri heard that Higashino Kanade had not eaten, she was in a good mood and planned to cook for Higashino Kanade.

"No need." Dongye Kanade shook his head, "I'll go downstairs and eat by myself."

He was originally planning to eat instant noodles, but then he remembered that there was only cup noodles and no instant noodles at home, so he decided to cook noodles.

"Hey, you actually rejected me, do you look down on the food I cook?"

Hiroi Kikuri was lying on the table, her beautiful eyes looking at Higashino Kanade with a teasing smile on her face.

"No, I just look down on the noodles you cooked."

Higashino Kanade said seriously.

"..."

Hiroi Kikuri was silent.

"The noodles you cooked are too soft and taste weird."

Higashino Kanade didn't dislike Hiroi Kikuri, she just felt that the noodles cooked by Hiroi Kikuri were not chewy enough. When you are busy, you can just eat casually, but when you are not busy, you need to have a sense of ritual. Although it is troublesome, it can make you happy physically and mentally.

"Really? But I think the soft texture is also very good."

There was an obvious smile in Hiroi Kikuri's tone.

"Where's the soft texture? Wait, are you talking about noodles?"

Higashino Kanade's eyes became sharp.

“I’m not talking about noodles.”

A provocative smile appeared on Hiroi Kikuri's face.

Whether the noodles are soft or chewy, she likes them all when she eats them with her mouth.

Chapter 66: Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who am I more handsome than Mr. Xu from the north of the city?

"I'm back to the beginning, standing in front of the mirror, clumsily tying the knot of my red tie, combing my hair like an adult, and putting on a handsome suit..."

Standing in front of the mirror, Higashino Kanade sang while fixing his hair and clothes.

He didn't have to tie a red tie, comb his hair into an adult style, or wear a handsome suit.

He wore ordinary clothes, ordinary pants, ordinary shoes, and an ordinary hat. The only flaw was that he looked extraordinary, very good-looking. For others, clothes make the man, but for him, clothes make the man. He could wear ordinary clothes very well.

Tonight, he will attend Jump's annual meeting. If he refuses without a good reason, the editor-in-charge will be punished, so Yoshida editor must let him attend the annual meeting. He attended once last year, just to get to know other cartoonists, listen to the leaders' speeches, and the rest is eating and drinking.

Oh, and there are some small activities, like lucky draws and the like.

Anyway, even if there are some weird activities, it is the editors' business, not these cash cow cartoonists of Shueisha.

"Oh, my damn beauty."

Higashino Kanade looked at himself in the mirror.

"Mirror, mirror, who do you think is more handsome, me or Lord Xu from the north of the city?"

"None of them is beautiful, the most beautiful one is mine!"

Of course, the one who spoke was not the mirror, but Izumi Konata who appeared at the door at some point in time.

"Nonsense, how can a short and flat place like me be as beautiful as me?"

Higashino Kanade wiped the mirror and pretended to talk to it.

"You're talking nonsense. I'm petite and cute. There are many girls with curvy figures. There are very few girls with flat breasts like me. They are a rare resource."

Izumi Konakata came to Tono Kanade unwillingly and drew an "X" on Tono Kanade's face in the mirror with his index finger.

"I believe it."

Dongye Zou said he believed it, but in fact he didn't believe the nonsense at all.

There are a lot of ordinary girls in the world, but big girls are rare, okay? This big does not mean ordinary big, but huge beyond the ordinary size. For example, it is the big in "Azur Lane".

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You and Glass should stay at home. If someone knocks on the door, ask who it is first. Don't open the door casually."

After making sure there was nothing wrong with his image, Higashino Kanade prepared to go out.

Today is Friday, and both Konata and Naoko will be staying in the studio overnight. Recently, the TV reported that the security in Shimokitazawa is not good, so he is somewhat worried about the safety of the two.

"I'm not a child anymore, what are you talking about?"

Izumi Konata looked at him like an idiot.

"You're a middle school student, you're still a child, okay? You're talking like you're an adult."

Higashino Kanade compared his height with Konata's, and unknowingly he was a little taller than Konata.

"Although I'm a junior high school student, I'm an adult in many things."

Quan Chifang patted his chest with a smile.

What she meant was not that she was mediocre, but that she had stepped onto the ladder of adulthood and entered the adult world.

Seeing Higashino Kanade comparing their heights impolitely, she quietly stood on tiptoe.

"Don't stand on tiptoe. By the end of this year, I will be taller than you even if you stand on tiptoe." Higashino Kanade plucked Izumi Konata's ahoge and said, "Next year, I will be taller than you and your ahoge combined."

"impossible!"

Izumi Konata's ahoge hair suddenly stood up straight.

The two-dimensional world is so magical. It's outrageous that Aho-ge can be controlled.

But don't worry too much about the two-dimensional things, otherwise you will become Cirno, Aqua, Quincy and Kizuna Ai.

"It's possible. By then, I alone will be twice as tall as you."

Higashino Kanade patted Izumi Konata's head provocatively, and ran out the next second.

Behind him was Izumi Konata, who had transformed into a Minotaur Chieftain and was about to kill him with a double EQ attack.

"Xiaozou, come back and wait for me!"

Izumi Konata saw Tono Kanade running out of the studio and started making harsh remarks.

"Hmph, Cricket, just wait and see, you are just good at talking."

Higashino Kanade turned around and looked at Izumi Konata with a playful smile on his face.

Isn't it just to tire the cow out? Hehe, he is a professional cow in the production team. He is just a cricket. Even if there is glass, he can easily deal with it. Two acres of land can be plowed by cows.

If he wanted to defeat him, he had to bring along Kikuri, Hongxia, and Ichiri. Although he hadn't cleared the Hulaoguan dungeon yet, he felt that he could do it.

When Higashino Kanade walked out of the apartment, a black luxury car was already waiting for him.

This car was arranged by Shueisha, and it was specifically to pick up Jump serial cartoonists like him.

Having attended an annual meeting last year, Dongye Zou was familiar with the process. He arrived at the destination, entered the venue, received a number plate, and then...

Eat eat eat!

Juice, steak, fruit, dessert, because it is a buffet, so you can eat whatever you want. As for his image, he only pays attention to it a little, and he can't pay too much attention to it. After all, it is difficult to pay attention to his image when eating.

"Teacher Ringo, you're here again."
