Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Why isn't it Shimokitazawa? Shimokitazawa has Beast-senpai and Goto Ichiri. If it's Shinjuku, you probably won't meet any anime characters there.

Of course, it is not certain. If the Izumi family who are supposed to live in Saitama can appear in Tokyo, then the beast ancestor of Shimokitazawa can also appear in Shinjuku. Well, don't ask why Goto is not the only one who appears in Shinjuku. Goto does not live in Shimokitazawa. She lives outside the prefecture, two hours away one way.

I have to say, Goto Doku is really amazing, as he went so far away to study just for his junior high school dark history.

After sleeping until three o'clock in the afternoon, Higashino Kanade and Izumi Sojiro went to Shinjuku. At the same time, a guitarist named Ijichi Hoshika from Shimokitazawa carried his guitar, met up with his sister and bandmates, and went to Shinjuku.

Their destination is Shinjuku FOLT.

Chapter 38 Madam, I like your...daughter

Ichichi Hoshige, the band's guitarist, just celebrated her 24th birthday on Christmas Eve yesterday. Today, as usual, she brought her sister Ichichi Hongxia to watch her band's live performance.

There were no empty seats on the tram, and the four young men in the band and the loli who admired the band were all standing with difficulty.

Shimokitazawa and Shinjuku are only one street away, about twelve minutes by train.

Less than a minute after getting on the car, the band's male bassist spoke in a sinister voice.

"Did you know that there was a terrorist incident at Shinjuku FOLT where we were going?"

"What a horrific incident."

"Shinjuku FOLT is haunted. It is said that someone took a ghost photo in the store, and someone heard a guitar playing unpleasant music in the middle of the night when no one was around."

"I can understand taking supernatural photos, but what is it to hear a guitar playing ugly music in the middle of the night when no one is around? In the middle of the night when no one is around, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Did you have too much sex with your girlfriend and your brain went haywire?"

"Hey, Lisa, don't say weird things in front of Hongxia."

Ichichi Xingge hit the drummer named Lisa on the head. What if he can't drive and leads Hongxia astray?

"Sister, what is Sex?"

Ijichi Nichinaka, a sixth-grade elementary school student, opened her big eyes and looked at her sister Ijichi Hoshika curiously, as if she was saying, "I'm curious" just like Chitanda Eru.

"Hongxia, Sex..."

"Shut up."

Lisa was about to tease Ichichi Hongxia, but Ichichi Xingge, as her older sister, didn't care if it was a joke or she really wanted to explain, and she hit her on the head angrily.

"Xingge, it hurts. You won't be able to get married if you're so violent."

The drummer crouched down with her head in her hands, tears in her eyes. She knew she would be punched again if she didn't.

"If you can't marry, then don't marry. Men are unreliable. Look at him, he's a typical example."

Ijichi Hoshika glanced at the bassist of the band. The B among the 3Bs that she definitely couldn't choose as a boyfriend was the bassist, bassist, and bassist.

"Don't slander me. How can I be unreliable? I am very reliable, okay? My girlfriend likes me very much. You can't blame me if you can't find a boyfriend. This is all..."

"Shut up."

【OK】

The bassist said nothing and made an "OK" gesture.

Star song, rude.

Ichichi Hoshige has no problem with bassists, but she has a problem with bassists who have girlfriends. It's not that she likes the bassist of her own band, but it's annoying that this guy has the opposite sex but no band. When practicing a new song together, he can be called away by a message from his girlfriend. Such a bassist is better optimized.

“You couldn’t ask for a better bass player.”

"I spoke from my heart, Xingge."

"Sister, what does optimization mean? And Sex?"

"Hahaha."

"..."

Not long after, the tram arrived at the station and a group of five people got out.

The store manager of Shinjuku FOLT is Ginjiro Yoshida, a 32-year-old male who likes punk rock.

Higashino Kanade looked at Yoshida Ginjiro's face. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt like he had seen this face somewhere before. It was strangely familiar. This hairstyle, this bracelet, this earring, could it be some anime character? He touched his head and used his super powers to search for the memories hidden deep in his brain.

Grass, it's lonely rock, a supporting character who appeared in the 10th episode of the animation [After Dark], and is a famous male in Houbunsha's animation!

Is Japan a village, or is this the power of the protagonist's halo of the time traveler?

Higashino Kanade didn't expect that after "Lucky Star" and "A Silent Voice" there would be "Lonely Rock". It's really good, Lonely Rock is really good.

He will have to marry Pochi-chan, and then make Pochi work every day while he plays at home, making Pochi-chan work to support him, and he will use Pochi-chan's money to gamble on My Little Pony every day. Anyway, Pochi-chan will not fight back or talk back, and will cry in her quilt every day. In the end, he will sell Pochi-chan's guitar, and then watch Pochi crying and begging him.

There will not be any dust shooting in the name of steel ball shooting that will make Pochi regret for the rest of his life, and there will not be any.

There's no Pochi in Shinjuku. In his impression, Shinjuku is a place where Jackie Chan and Daniel Wu came from, and there won't be any wild Pochi. But in Shimokitazawa, there will be Pochi and Beast Senpai.

Izumi Sojiro and Yoshida Ginjiro were talking about the haunted store. Higashino Kanade, who was in charge of the exorcism, didn't listen much. Instead, he looked around the live house curiously. The real scene overlapped with the memory scene in his head.

Is this considered a pilgrimage?

Travel to the world where "Lonely Rock" exists, and visit the stores where the protagonists appeared.

This store is the home turf of drunkard Hiroi Kikuri. I don’t know if it is the case now, but it will definitely be the case in the future.

Ginjiro Yoshida saw Tono Kanade curiously looking around the store, and the image of someone who was not easy to mess with was gentle like an older sister's voice: "Little boy, are you interested in rock music?"

"No."

Higashino Kanade shook his head.

"Would you like to listen to it later? Maybe you will like rock music after listening to it. It's free, no tickets required."

Ginjiro Yoshida strongly recommended Higashino Kanade to listen to rock music.

"I'm sorry, I can't hear you. You can ask him to listen for me. I'm the one who accepted your commission. He's just a middleman." Higashino Kanade shook his head and pointed at Yoshida Ginjiro's left shoulder. "There's more than one ghost in your shop. There are many. And there's a little thing on your shoulder that I don't recognize."

"On the shoulder?"

Yoshida Ginjiro was a little confused by Higashino Kanade's words. There was too much information and his brain couldn't react. He saw the elementary school student stretched out his hand to his shoulder, but he didn't touch him. Suddenly, he felt the long-lost relaxation on his left shoulder.

"Eh?"

The comfortable feeling in his left shoulder stunned Yoshida Ginjiro. He was already confused, and now he was even more confused.

"I'm sorry, I'm the psychic."

Dongye Kanade's face was indifferent and his tone was cold.

Pretend, this guy is pretending. Just like his original intention of painting is to show off, his original intention of showing off his superpowers in front of others is also to show off. He is a vain person who wants others to respect and admire him.

"A psychic." Yoshida Ginjiro was indifferent at first, then surprised, and finally delighted, "So cool, so handsome, so unique!"

"Please give me your guidance, psychic!" Yoshida Ginjiro excitedly stretched out his hand to Higashino Kanade, "After the commission is completed, can you take a photo with me?"

“Are all rock musicians such weirdos?”

Izumi Sojiro complained.

"Okay, but what about the ghosts in your store?"

Dongye Zou pointed at the monsters in the store with his index finger. There were more than ten that he could see, and he didn't know how many more he couldn't see. Sure enough, these things were small and hidden in the wild, big and hidden in the city. The more crowded the place, the more of these things there were.

"Can't handle it?"

Yoshida Ginjiro looked worried, seeing that the psychic was still a child, he wondered if he didn't have enough power to clear all the ghosts in the store.

To be honest, he paid 10,000 yen with the mentality of giving it a try. After all, ghosts had appeared in the store for a week, and no one had been hurt. Instead, many curious new customers came because of the rumor. Secondly, the prices of those well-known masters were too expensive, ridiculously expensive, and he didn't know if these masters were genuine. The so-called Onmyoji and psychics he found on the Internet were either scammers or playing tricks on him. He successfully contacted two of them and invited them to come.

"It's going to cost more." Higashino Kanade made a number with his hands, "100,000 yen."

"no problem."

Yoshida Ginjiro agreed.

One hundred thousand yen, let a real psychic come to exorcise the ghost and make a lot of money, and if I encounter such a thing again in the future, it won’t be so troublesome.

Izumi Sojiro couldn't help but complain in his heart when he saw Tono Kanade showing off successfully.

Isn't this kid a super power person? When did he become a psychic? Well, it doesn't matter. Just look at the asking price. It's no problem to ask for another 100,000 yen. Just 100,000 is too much of a loss. Can you raise the price a bit more?

"Xiaoyin, we are here."

Suddenly, someone greeted Yoshida Ginjiro. Higashino Kanade and Izumi Sojiro looked over like Yoshida Ginjiro, and saw what seemed to be a band of four with a blonde loli walking towards them.

The loli with blonde hair in a side ponytail that looked like a pick or Doritos corn flakes particularly attracted Higashino Kanade's attention, but what attracted his attention even more was the married woman with a dangerous hairstyle walking next to her.

No way, Sir, it’s this kind of operation again. It’s fine if the Fang family does this, but the Hongxia family is also coming.

Madam, you are almost going on a trip.

Chapter 39 So Higashino Kanade closed his eyes

Ichichi Kouka, one of the heroines of "Lonely Rock".

Yidi Chi Xingge, the 12-year-old sister of Yidi Chi Hongxia, is a one by one... proud, proud, proud, proud, and arrogant.

Ah, the wild Ijichi Hongxia and the wild Ijichi Hoshige appeared!

I didn’t expect there would be a character from Lonely Rock.

Higashino Kanade curiously observed the Ijichi sisters and the ghost with the same hair color that fell behind them.

This character with dangerous hairstyle who looks like a married woman seems to be the mother of the Ijichi sisters.

He has not read the manga of "Lonely Rock", but he has watched the animation. He has the impression that Ichichi Hongxia's mother died when she was young, and she and her sister depended on each other for life afterwards.

Their father? He didn't know.

It may be Batman, or it may not be Bruce Wayne, anyway, the father-in-law and mother-in-law he remembered from watching "Lonely Rock" are Xiao Lonely. Don't ask why it is the father-in-law and mother-in-law, the answer is that all the good-looking two-dimensional beautiful girls are his wives.

Higashino Kanade didn't go crazy for too long, he didn't forget his work.

When Yoshida Ginjiro greeted the bassist of Ijichi Hoshika's band, he said something to Izumi Sojiro and left.

Shinjuku FOLT is on the second underground floor. The venue is quite special, divided into BAR area and HALL area. Higashino Kanade wants to walk through all the venues to see if there are any evil spirits like Machiya Baku. He can let go of ordinary ghosts, as long as they like music, want to listen to rock and roll and don't make trouble for the living, and affect the world of the living, there is no problem. But he cannot let go of evil spirits, because when these things are weak, they will affect the physical and mental health of the living, and when they are strong, they will hurt or even kill the living.

He has no idea of ​​helping ghosts become Buddhas. If ghosts want to become Buddhas, they need to get rid of their obsessions during their lifetime. Some ghosts' obsessions during their lifetime are simple and easy to get rid of, while some ghosts' obsessions during their lifetime are not simple and difficult to accomplish.

He is not a saint or a virgin, and he will not do anything without reward. Moreover, the living often help the dead to fulfill their wishes. If he is lucky, it will be fine, but if he is unlucky, he may be involved in some terrorist incident, and then his daily life will become a supernatural life.

Higashino Kanade is not interested in rock music. It is not quite accurate to say that he is not interested. He does not understand what rock music is. Even when he watched "Rock Loneliness", he was looking at the girls instead of listening to rock music and understanding what rock music is.

If he had time and money, he wouldn't mind buying a guitar, learning to play the guitar, and throwing it into the corner to collect dust after working hard for three seconds. Unfortunately, ever since he learned to paint, time and money have become increasingly distant from him. Along with time and money, what also left was the ignorance that seemed to be abundant but was actually a lot on his head.

Everyone says he is extremely smart, but the problem is that he doesn't want to become smarter, or at least too smart. Deep love will bring short life, and excessive wisdom will bring harm. No matter what, his hair has to be kept thicker.

……

"Hongxia, there are kids like you who come to listen to rock music."

"No, he's younger than me."

"Almost, almost."

"Not even close. I'm much taller than him."

With still an hour left before the performance, drummer Lisa was laughing and chatting with Ichichi Hongxia about the boy they had just seen.

Generally speaking, there are no children at live houses, and even if there are, there will not be elementary school students like Hongxia or even younger children. It is rare to see a child other than Hongxia, and the members of the band felt it was novel. But there is nothing to be surprised about, there will always be parents who like rock and roll and bring their children to experience the charm of live rock and roll.

"Lisa, get ready, our performance is about to begin."

Ichichi Hoshige waved to his own drummer not far away.

"Here we come! Hongxia, be careful when you are alone, don't let the bad guys kidnap you."

Lisa smiled and rubbed Ichichi Hongxia's head. She liked this child very much who did not want to learn guitar with her sister but instead said she wanted to learn drums with her.

"I'm not a kid anymore. Next year I'll be in junior high school."

Ijichi Hongxia said this with great pride. Starting next April, she will no longer be a tiny elementary school student, but a junior high school student who can challenge her parents' authority.

"Junior high school students are also children."

Lisa deliberately ruffled Ijichi Kouka's head, and ran away as the latter angrily waved her fist in protest.

Alone again.

Ijichi Hongxia looked around. Although there were many customers inside and outside the store and it was crowded, before the atmosphere in the store became lively, she still felt lonely when she thought about the upcoming New Year.
