Is it okay not to want to work hard?

There are some things that you cannot do even when you are free. Only when you are extremely free, so free that you are anxious, will you have the leisure to do them.

For him, making wontons, dumplings, noodles and pancakes are things he can only do when he has a lot of free time.

Breakfast was ready quickly. Higashino Kanade first called Izumi Konata and Hiroi Kikuri to wake them up before going to have breakfast.

"I'm so sleepy. I told you I don't want to eat anymore."

Not long after, Quan Chifang came out of the room, rubbing his sleepy eyes and complaining.

"It smells so good, are they wontons?"

Hiroi Kikuri was different from Izumi Konakata. She woke up after being woken up by Higashino Kanade. She drank a little wine last night, so she slept soundly and didn't feel hungover when she woke up. Now she felt hungry when she smelled the fragrance.

"Yes, it's wontons. Don't be sleepy. If you are very sleepy, eat it before going to sleep."

The first sentence of Higashino Kane was addressed to Hiroi Kikuri, and the second sentence was addressed to Izumi Konata.

"You may not be able to fall asleep after eating."

Quan Chifang complained, but his body was still honest as he sat down on a chair next to the dining table. He picked up the chopsticks and stared blankly at the wontons that were already served on the table.

"It's okay. Just try to sleep like a pig and you'll definitely fall asleep. If you can't fall asleep, just do it physically and face the wall."

Early in the morning, Higashino Kanade started his daily nonsense.

"I want to come at you."

Quan Chifang waved his fist.

"You won't be able to sleep if you hit me. If you don't dare to do it yourself, I can help you. I can give you a slap and make you sleep like a baby."

Higashino Kanade said this while waving his left hand which was shaped like a knife.

"That's not a baby-like sleep, that's fainting!"

Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but complain because of the urge to complain.

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

Higashino Kanade said nonchalantly.

"What's the difference?"

I don't know when Ichichi Hongxia became the one who makes complaints. Although she doesn't want to complain most of the time, sometimes she can't help but complain when she hears Xiaozou's nonsense and Konata's nonsense.

Chapter 4 We Can't Study Together

"Let's go~."

"do not want!"

"Don't act like a child."

"I do not want!"

"Come on, follow me to study!"

"I don't want it, we can't study together!"

In Class 2 of Grade , Ijichi Kouka hugged Yamada Ryo by the waist and tried to drag him to another classroom, but Yamada Ryo was like an angry cat, holding the desk tightly and unwilling to go to make up the lessons.

"Why? Aren't we happy studying together? Studying is so much fun."

Ichichi Hongxia said something against her will.

Studying is not fun, on the contrary it is painful, but in order to go to college, she and Liang have to study. It's the last semester, and if Liang doesn't seize the time to study, he will only be able to play rock music in the future. If he succeeds, it's fine, but if he fails, he will have to squat in Okubo Park in Kabukicho. Maybe he will meet Xiaozou who occasionally goes there to feed the helpful little one.

"Don't lie to yourself. Studying is not fun at all. I want to play rock music. I don't want to study."

Yamada Ryo struggled to find his bandmates to discuss practicing the cover song, instead of going to the abandoned classroom and being forced to study by Tono Kanade.

"Don't be so willful. Do you want to graduate from junior high school?"

Ijichi Hongka is stronger than Yamada Ryo. After all, she is a drummer, and she can't play the drums without strength. So Yamada Ryo's struggle not only failed to break free from her arms, but she held him tighter.

"I can just go to any high school. I don't plan on going to college anyway."

Yamada Ryo used to be a good girl at home, but she rebelled later because her parents spoiled her too much, so she wanted to rebel and become a bad woman. It was also for this reason that she became a rock star. She didn't want to go to college, so isn't she rebellious, a bad woman, and a rock star?

Moreover, she didn't think that she could balance her studies with playing rock music, so she would just go to an ordinary high school. Even if she wanted to go to college, a junior college would be enough.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you not plan to go to college? If you can't make a living playing rock music, you can give it up and find a proper job."

Ijichi Kouka strongly disapproves of Yamada Ryo's mentality.

Only a few people can succeed in playing rock and roll and forming bands. There are many who are not popular, and even more who become a little popular but quickly become out of fashion.

Even if you become very popular, it is not certain whether you are the one who is popular or the other people in the band. If you are the only one who is popular, it would be fine. But if other people in the band, such as the lead singer or guitarist, become popular, then once the lead singer or guitarist is poached, the band may quickly become outdated.

"I don't want to!" Yamada Ryo shook his head. "I will never give up rock music even if I starve to death. Rock music is my spiritual food. I will never work. I will never work in my life. I will rely on playing rock music to make a living for the rest of my life."

Yamada Ryo said this with confidence. Her family ran a hospital anyway. At worst, she could go home and be a full-time daughter, just taking care of herself and eating at home.

What Ijichi Kouka said was a bit outrageous, but when Yamada Ryoichi heard her words, he stopped struggling.

As if enlightened, Yamada Ryo suddenly felt that what Ichichi Kouka said made a lot of sense. Indeed, even if you want to play rock music, you have to improve your cultural knowledge. You can't write good songs without culture, and even if you can write, it will be shitty garbage.

After great efforts and a lot of persuasion, Ichichi Hongxia finally succeeded in persuading Yamada Ryo to study hard and improve every day.

It's the last semester of the third year of junior high school, and there's no time to mess around.

It’s quite outrageous to say, Xiaozou is only in the second grade, but she can tutor them who are in the third grade.

In fact, this is not outrageous. Higashino Kanade went to several private schools and hypnotized the teachers in the private schools to understand what each cram school is teaching. Then he wrote down the content and gave it to Liang and Hongxia. If there is something he doesn't understand, he will go to the private school to ask the teachers for advice. Anyway, he has hypnosis, so he doesn't have to worry about the teachers hiding it from him.

Hypnosis is really a very useful superpower, but the way Higashino Kanade uses it is not right. Or maybe it is too right. It is not at all original or mean.

He has had super powers for such a long time, and his super powers are getting stronger and stronger. Instead of becoming a homelander, he has gradually developed into a bad guy. Spider-Man said that with great power comes great responsibility, but for him, the greater the power, the less responsibility.

In fact, it is quite unfounded to say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It is more accurate to say that the greater the ability, the less responsibility. After all, those with ability can escape everything. What is responsibility?

Going to class is not a happy thing. It is even more unhappy to have to make up for the missed class after school.

With these two unhappy things added together, Yamada Ryo is about to drop her pearls.

So sad. She wasn't this sad even when she was performing on a mourning-like stage during the cultural festival.

She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.

Why is Hongxia so lucky that she doesn't need one-on-one tutoring, but her luck is so bad that she needs one-on-one tutoring like Bochi?

Oh, she and Pochi's grades suck, but that's okay.

Although Yamada Ryo complained in his heart, he still listened carefully, studied hard, and did the exercises well.

However, she is a single-core processor. Once the knowledge about the exam is stored in her brain, the knowledge about rock music will be squeezed out.

Fortunately, she and her band mates had just formed the band and were still in the running-in period. Moreover, they were all in the third year of junior high school. Even if someone didn't like studying, they would still have to symbolically prepare for the exam and get into a school to satisfy their family.

Therefore, although Yamada Ryo's knowledge of rock music was gradually forgotten, she did not drift away from her friends in the band. Instead, they became closer because they had too many things to complain about at school.

The third semester is very short, only less than three months, which is less than a hundred days in days.

Time always passes quickly when you are busy, and entrance exams and final exams are coming soon.

The exam was over in two days, and when the results came out during the short spring break, everything was settled.

"I want to apply to the University of Tokyo!"

"What are you dreaming about? You should go back to the band now."

"This is not the age for playing in a band. Studying is the bright future."

"Be normal!"

In the studio, Ijichi Kouka grabbed Yamada Ryo's arm, trying to pull Yamada Ryo away, who was staying in Kozou's studio reading literary works.

It seems that if you want Yamada Ryo to return to normal, you have to give her remedial lessons again, but this time it’s not about remediating exam knowledge, but remediating her knowledge of rock and roll.

Chapter 5 Who asked you!

Spring has arrived and the Sakura flowers in my hometown are blooming.

Higashino Kanade became a senior student, and went from being a middle school student to an age where he shouldn't be a middle school student.

At school, Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nikka disappeared, and Nikka left him and went to another school.

There is nothing much to say about the new semester. Because we are going to enter higher education, the learning atmosphere in the class has become much stronger. Students in the class either study hard and make progress every day, or let themselves go and give up on themselves.

Higashino Kanade is the kind of student who lets himself go, but he doesn't give up on himself. He occasionally studies hard and makes progress every day.

The knowledge and questions in junior high school were too simple. As long as he used his brain a little and was willing to spend a little time studying, he would be able to consistently rank among the top three in the grade.

Under the guidance of Higashino Kanade, the grades of Nishimiya Shoko and Goto Ichiri have improved. Shoko is okay, but Ichiri is still a little bit away from the score line of Shimokitazawa High School, so he needs to work harder.

Ryo and Nijika are both students of Shimokitazawa High School. After school on the opening day, Tono Kanade, Izumi Konata, Nishimiya Shoko and the others went to see Ryo and Nijika wearing JK clothes.

Liang did not comment, as she was not his girlfriend. As for Hong Xia, she was really beautiful, energetic and cute.

That's right. A big part of the reason why Xingge quit the band was because of Mrs. Idichi, and the other part was because of Hongxia. As Mrs. Idichi is still alive in a special way and Hongxia has many friends to accompany her, Xingge has no intention of quitting the band.

In this way, the band can have its own home venue, and if possible, he can also bring Ju Li's band over.

Now Kikuri's home base is Shinjuku FOLT, the store owned by Yoshida Ginjiro. Although Kikuri's band is not as popular as Xingge's band, it is also very popular. She even has a lot of fans just because of her unruly appearance.

"This way, this way!"

Outside a store, Ijichi Kouka, who was with Yamada Ryo, waved to Tono Kanade and the others who were coming over.

When he saw Ichichi Kouka and heard her energetic voice, Tono Kanade couldn't help laughing.

Hongxia is so energetic.

I was busy with studies before and had no time to come. Now that I am in the first year of high school, I finally have time.

"Don't be sick!" Ijichi Hongxia patted Yamada Ryo on the head and complained, "With your grades, there's no way you can get into the University of Tokyo. You might as well play rock music. The possibility of your band becoming popular is greater than your chance of getting into the University of Tokyo."

"I can play rock music and also take the entrance exam to Tokyo University. By then, I will be the best rock music player in Tokyo University and have the highest academic qualifications among all the rock music players."

Yamada Ryo crossed his arms and said confidently.

“Stop fantasizing.”

Ijichi Kouka was not trying to disparage Yamada Ryo, she really didn't think Ryo had the potential to be admitted to the University of Tokyo.

It would be fine if Liang could study while pursuing his hobbies like Xiaozou, but Liang, with his single-core processor, can only choose between study and rock. He can either study hard, make progress every day, and work hard to get into Tokyo University, or practice singing, compose well, and work hard to play rock and roll and become famous in a band. It is impossible to study and play rock and roll at the same time.

"How can you say I'm fantasizing?"

Yamada Ryo said seriously.

"Okay, okay, you're not fantasizing. So, are you going to attend private school starting tomorrow?"

Seeing that Yamada Ryouga was unmoved, Ichichi Hongxia simply advised her to take the entrance exam for the University of Tokyo.

"I won't take the entrance exam to Tokyo University anymore. I suddenly feel that I don't have time to take the entrance exam since I am playing in a band."

When Yamada Ryo heard that he was going to attend a private school, his face immediately fell and he instantly changed his mind about applying to the University of Tokyo.

Asking her to take extra classes would be like asking her to die. Once she has experienced the pain of extra classes, she will never want to take them again. She would rather play rock music and form a band.

study? Learn shit!

"No, if you want, you can play in a band and apply to the University of Tokyo. As long as you manage your time well and give up all entertainment activities, it will be fine."

Higashino Kanade floated behind Yamada Ryo like a ghost and spoke softly.

"do not want!"

Yamada Ryo refused righteously and stayed away from Tono Kanade.

She doesn't want to be forced to study anymore. It's too uncomfortable and painful. She doesn't feel free or happy at all. She likes rock music, not studying. Why would she want to take the entrance exam to Tokyo University?

At this time, frightened by Higashino Kanade, Yamada Ryo suddenly came to his senses, completely gave up studying, and returned to rock and roll.

It is indeed a difficult thing to get into the University of Tokyo. Even Higashino Kanade cannot guarantee that he will be admitted to the University of Tokyo. However, he has no intention of getting admitted to the University of Tokyo. As for college, an ordinary university will be enough. After all, he studies to deal with his parents and to experience campus life. As for studying, he will learn nothing. He just doesn't know what to study in college.

We’ll talk about it when the time comes. He thinks it’s fine as long as it’s not the university in “Azure Blue”.

Not long after, the first unknown warm-up band came on stage.

Yamada Ryo, who knew the band, saw that everyone didn't know the band, so he immediately started talking about it, introducing the members and style of the band to everyone.
