Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"Yes, she is drunk again, but she insists that she is not drunk and wants to drive home." Iwashita Shima's voice sounded helpless, "Come quickly, Eliza can't stop her anymore, she is like crazy."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Higashino Kanade knew that there was no time to lose, otherwise Kikuri would cause trouble in the store and he would have to spend money again.

Although he is rich, his money didn't come from the wind. How could he squander it so casually?

Riding a bicycle, Higashino Kanade quickly arrived at the izakaya.

As soon as he opened the door and entered the room, he saw Hiroi Kikuri holding Iwashita Shima and Shimizu Elisa, yelling and hugging each other. He couldn't understand what Kikuri was saying. She was drunk and her speech was unclear, as if she was speaking an alien language.

"Oh, Xiaozou, you are here."

When Hiroi Kikuri saw Higashino Kanade, she immediately let go of her, and Iwashita Shima and Shimizu Elisa pounced on Higashino Kanade.

"Here I am, here to pick up you, a troublemaker again."

Higashino Kanade looked around the pub and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no damage or vomit.

Wait.

Did she say "you guys"?

Higashino Kanade suddenly discovered the blind spot and asked, "What do you mean by 'you guys'?"

"What do you mean?" Hiroi Kikuri was puzzled and said lazily while lying on the table, "Boss, another cup, another 100 million cups."

"Xiaojuli, if you want to drink, go home and drink as much as you want."

The female boss stopped giving Hiroi Kikuri wine because the kid would cause trouble when drunk. Although Xiaozou would pay for the damages, she couldn't stand having to repair the store all the time.

"Hey, are you going home? You can't drink too much at home, you can do it later..."

Hiroi Kikuri hadn't finished her words when she suddenly stopped talking.

It's not that she doesn't want to say it, but someone is using superpowers to prevent her from saying things she shouldn't.

"Let's go home, kid." Higashino Kanade came to Hiroi Kikuri, lifted her up, and then said to the boss, Iwashita Shima, and Shimizu Elisa apologetically, "Sorry to bother you again."

Ju Li was drunk, her body leaning against him like a puddle of mud. She couldn't ride the bike in this state, so he could only let Ju Li sit on the bike while he pushed it towards home.

Ah, this is so tiring. I have to push the bicycle and prevent Kikuri from falling off it.

Go sit in the park and see if Kikuri can wake up. If not, there's nothing he can do.

Higashino Kanade brought the drunk Hiroi Kikuri to the park.

It was not the park they often went to, but a small park very close to the izakaya, where one could see the entire park's environment at a glance.

"Water, water, I want water."

Hiroi Kikuri spoke in a hoarse voice, as if she was going to die of thirst in the next second.

"If you want to drink water, drink water. Why are you trying to get close to my face? Your mouth tastes like alcohol. I don't want a kiss."

Higashino Kanade pressed his hand against Hiroi Kikuri's face that was leaning against him, forbidding her to get close. He didn't want to get close to Kikuri, who reeked of alcohol.

"Xiaozou, you are so heartless."

Hiroi Kikuri leaned on Higashino Kanade and acted coquettishly.

The heights of the two people are getting smaller and smaller, and they are basically almost the same height. When they are really the same height, the height difference between them will appear again, but at that time it will no longer be Kikuri who is taller and they are both short, but Higashino Kanade will be taller and Kikuri will be short.

"Stop talking nonsense." Higashino Kanade covered Hiroi Kikuri's mouth, "Be quiet, it smells like alcohol."

He is not heartless at all, he is just promiscuous. Although he likes many people, he is sincere to every girl. He truly loves them both physically and spiritually, and he is truly responsible for them, so the word heartless does not suit him.

"I want to speak." Hiroi Kikuri shook her head, pulled her mouth out of Higashino Kanade's hand, and shouted, "I want to speak!"

"Noisy!"

Higashino Kanade covered his ears. He couldn't stand Kikuri making so much noise so late at night.

"What's the noise? I'm very quiet."

The drunk Hiroi Kikuri was talking nonsense.

"You should drink less. You talk nonsense every day." Dongye Kanade touched Kikuri's red and soft face and asked, "Can you still walk?"

"No."

Hiroi Kikuri answered immediately.

"Okay, I'll continue carrying you."

Higashino Kanade thought about it and decided to carry Hiroi Kikuri back, so that he could push the bicycle back with Kikuri on his back. Otherwise, he would have to go to the izakaya again after bringing Kikuri back, which would be too troublesome.

"Eh? Is that okay?"

Hiroi Kikuri hugged Higashino Kanade like a koala, rubbing her drunken face against Higashino Kanade's face hard, and breathed out alcohol-smelling breath from time to time.

"Can I say no? I was carrying you just now, you must know that."

Higashino Kanade leaned back in his chair, feeling somewhat tired.

It's really troublesome to take care of this drunkard. Why can't she take care of him? Do I owe her something?

"Really?" Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head, rubbed her head, and smiled innocently, "Hey, hey, I don't remember what happened just now. I only remember that I was drinking with Shima and Eliza in the izakaya. How come I am here with you all of a sudden? Could it be that everything just now was a dream?"

"..."

Higashino Kanade didn't want to talk.

This guy is really unbearable.

Chapter 9: Relying on face to make a living

The weather has been a bit strange recently, changing from hot to cold. It was so cold one day that I had to wear long sleeves and a coat, and the next day it was so hot that I had to wear short sleeves and shorts. It could be extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night.

At this time, it reflects what everyone's body temperature feels like.

When Higashino Kanade, Higashino Suzu, Goto Ichiri, and Nishimiya Naoko wore long sleeves, Izumi Konata, Nishimiya Yuzuru, and Ijichi Koka wore short sleeves. As for Hiroi Kikuri, she basically only wore her green dress + jacket, and would only wear other clothes when she had an appointment with Higashino Kanade or had free time.

"Aren't you cold?" and "Aren't you hot?" are questions that people from both parties often ask.

Speaking of which, in the summer, Higashino Kanade prefers 26° air conditioning, Izumi Konata prefers 24°, but Hiroi Kikuri is different. She is a bit outrageous. She prefers 27°. This air conditioning temperature was unanimously complained by everyone. If the air conditioner is set to 27°, it is better not to turn it on.

"What a cool day! This weather is perfect for sleeping."

Standing on the balcony, Higashino Kanade looked at the gloomy sky which was windy but not raining, and he couldn't help feeling relaxed and happy.

"So you want to go to bed?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya stood next to Kanade Higashino, taking pictures of the street scene from a high vantage point.

Although she has taken photos of the street scenes here many times, the same street scenes look different in different weather.

"No, sleeping is a waste of time for me."

Higashino Kanade shook his head. He got enough sleep every day and he wasn't sleepy. Sleeping was just a waste of time.

Unless he has done some vigorous activity before going to bed that is beneficial to his physical and mental health, he is not very willing to take a nap.

"Didn't you say that as long as we are happy, then we are not wasting our time?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya looked at the pedestrians downstairs, and for some reason, she had an urge to jump down.

"But I won't be happy when I sleep. I will be happy when I am sleepy, but I will not be happy when I am not sleepy. I will just feel that I have wasted an afternoon."

Higashino Kanade pulled Nishimiya Yuzuru, who was leaning against the railing and looking down desperately, and told her not to move forward any further, as half of her body was almost hanging on the railing, and if she continued to tiptoe to look down, she would fall.

"You are so troublesome"

Yuzuru Nishimiya looked at Tono Kanade with disdain. Why is this man like a woman and has so many problems?

"What's the trouble? Children just don't understand."

Higashino Kanade touched Nishimiya Yuzuru's head.

"I'm not a kid anymore. I'm in sixth grade. Don't treat me like a kid. You're not that old either, okay?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru slapped his hands off his head and glared at Higashino Kanade in dissatisfaction.

Maybe because he has grown up, Yuzuru is not as cute as he was when he was a child. Instead, he has become much more tsundere.

"I am a grown-up, both physically and mentally."

Higashino Kanade said in a very mature manner. There was nothing wrong with what he said. He was indeed an adult, both physically and mentally, in every sense of the word.

"How is that possible? You are lying again."

Yuzuru Nishimiya didn't understand what Tono Kanade meant, she is still a relatively innocent girl.

"Alas, you don't understand. You are still too young and think I am talking nonsense. When you grow up, you will know what I mean."

When Higashino Kanade saw that Nishimiya Yuzuru didn't allow him to touch his head, he patted Yuzuru's head instead.

"You're so annoying."

Nishimiya Yuzuru shook his head and stood on tiptoe to pat Higashino Kanade on the head.

"Oh, you've grown up and are tired of me. If I'm in junior high school, will you dislike me for being old and want me to explode my gold coins?"

Higashino Kanade looked very sad.

However, his appearance did not make Nishimiya Yuzuru feel guilty and regretful for the rest of his life. Instead, it made people want to punch him to stop making trouble.

"I am leaving."

Seeing that Higashino Kanade was going crazy, Nishimiya Yuzuru decided not to stay here anymore.

She actually understood what Higashino Kanade was saying, although she didn't quite understand it, but it was probably about H. When Kanade and Konokata talked about something she couldn't understand, half of it was about the second dimension, and the other half was about H.

Why did she know even though she didn't understand? Of course it's because she has a sister. Although Naoko won't tell her, as long as she asks Naoko what brother Kanade and sister Konata are talking about, if Naoko doesn't blush, then it's a normal strange topic. If Naoko blushes and stammers and says she can't explain it clearly, then it's an abnormal strange topic.

"No, stay with me for a while, watch the rain, take some pictures."

Higashino Kanade grabbed Nishimiya Yuzuru's hat when she was about to leave and pulled her back like a kitten.

"I take photos every week. What's so good about taking photos? I might as well take photos of the pimples on your face."

Nishimiya Yuzuru was not angry when she was stopped. She just couldn't stand Tono Kanade's madness. If Tono Kanade didn't go crazy, she could still stay here.

"There are no pimples on my face. Beautiful boys don't get pimples on their faces."

Higashino Kanade touched his face and felt relieved after confirming that there were no pimples on his face.

My perfect face cannot tolerate any weird things growing on it.

When he had an average look before, he didn't care much about his face. After all, there was no point in caring about it. But after he traveled through time and found that he had become more handsome, he began to care a lot about his face.

There's no way, he's a man who makes a living by his looks, he needs to rely on both a pretty face and thick skin, otherwise how could he have a harem.

"Beautiful boy..."

Perhaps influenced by Ijichi Kouka, Yuzuru Nishimiya's eyes became cat-like.

I'm just a passerby. To be honest, Higashino Kanade looks pretty good, but his appearance is not what you would call a beautiful boy. He has a delicate appearance, but not too feminine. He can be said to be a handsome young boy. Is he beautiful? If he wears women's clothes, he may look handsome. If he doesn't wear women's clothes, he is just a normal handsome boy.

"What's that look in your eyes? Don't you believe me?"

Higashino Kanade felt the contempt from Nishimiya Yuzuru.

"I don't believe you, unless you put on girls' clothes and show them to everyone. If half of the people say you are beautiful, then I will admit that you are a beautiful boy."

Nishimiya Yuzuru's eyes lit up, and she suddenly wanted to see Higashino Kanade wearing women's clothes.

"Heh, why do I need your recognition? You want to trick me into wearing women's clothes? No way. Just wait, on your birthday in August, I will give you a pink Lolita dress, and you can wear it then. You actually want me to wear women's clothes, humph."

When Tono Kanade saw that Nishimiya Yuzuru wanted him to wear women's clothes, he wanted to give back to Yuzuru by letting him wear the pink little princess outfit that she didn't like.

"I'm not wearing it!"

As expected, Yuzuru Nishimiya looked disgusted.

"I'll talk to your aunt and your grandmother and ask them to help you put it on."

"Then I won't wear it either!"

"It's not up to you."
