Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"Well, come on, come on, we will definitely win with you here." Izumi Konakata held Higashino Kanade's hand and said, "You can't lose, and bet on the dignity of our class."

"Huh? Are you playing with other classes?"

Higashino Kanade was surprised, he thought he was just playing with classmates.

"Yes, someone is here to mess things up." Quan Konaka waved his fist aggressively, "Let's beat them."

"Ruin the place? What kind of place can be ruined..."

Dongye Zou was puzzled.

"I don't know, but our class is going to play dodgeball with their class."

Izumi Konakata didn’t know the reason, but she wanted to participate and didn’t want to lose, so she wanted to drag Xiaozou, a person with super powers, to "cheat".

"You really like to join in the fun."

Dongye Zou was speechless. You said you were ruining the place without knowing what happened and you even wanted to join in on it. This was a bet between two classes and the loser would have his head shaved. What should we do?

In order to find out the situation, Tono Kanade asked Miyuki Kora from Moegirlpedia, who should know why the two classes were suddenly playing dodgeball.

"It's not what I mean by ruining the party. It's just that the two teachers asked our two classes to play dodgeball." After a pause, Kora Miyuki asked, "Does Higashino-san want to participate too?"

"Well, this party allows me to participate."

Higashino Kanade rubbed his head, wondering whether he should clear out the opposing team quickly, or pretend to be very weak and slowly clear out the opposing team, making them think they have a chance of winning, the kind that is just around the corner from winning, but in fact there is no hope at all, and then he would kill them when they think they are going to win.

Dodgeball is a game where the better your interpersonal relationships are, the easier it is to quit. It is embarrassing to hit strangers, but it is easy to hit acquaintances.

Higashino Kanade has few friends and a large harem, and the opposing class is not his own class, so he doesn't need to show mercy. He just needs to go all out and make all the opponents leave the field.

Ten minutes later, Higashino Kanade was banned by students from two classes including Izumi Konata.

No experience!

Neither his teammates nor his opponents had any experience. He cleared the opposing team by himself. The opponents had no experience, and neither did his teammates who participated but did nothing.

"I knew it."

Higashino Kanade stood under a tree, watching his classmates playing dodgeball with students from other classes. He was so lonely that he could only watch.

How could this happen? He was so strong that he kept everyone alive and even cleared the entire opposing team. How could he be banned? Is the gaming experience so important? Isn't it enough to win? Does losing mean you have a gaming experience?

Higashino Kanade is not a winner, he was just unhappy that he was having a great time fighting against ten people alone, but his classmates and the students on the opposite side agreed to kick him out.

Jing Kang shame, still not snow.When will the courtier hate it?

I feel cold, very cold, as if I wanted sex at night but there was no one around.

There was no other way. The other party didn't want him anymore, so he might as well paint clothes for the tree, a gorgeous princess dress, wings, a face, and then...hiss, was it a problem with his technique or the chalk? Why did this pink and old woman's face not look beautiful at all, but rather scary?

It looks scary enough during the day, wouldn't it be even scarier at night?

Forget it, it’s okay to scare people, it can’t scare him anyway.

With a purely evil idea, Higashino Zou saw that the painting was not good-looking, so he simply painted it more horrible.

One ghost face is not enough, you need to draw several, draw a lot of them. No, why not just fill the tree with scary ghost faces.

Then, Higashino Kanade was arrested on the spot by his homeroom teacher who appeared in the playground for some unknown reason, and was happily assigned to a week's duty.

The reason he was punished was not because he scribbled on the tree, but because he climbed up the tree.

Chapter 14 Dark History

At night, Kanade Higashino is doing charity in Kabukicho in Shinjuku.

Whether it is Kabukicho during the day or at night, there are many beautiful young ladies standing on the roadside, waiting for help from kind people with or without umbrellas.

On the streets, you can often see runaway teenagers gathering in groups of two or three to chat, sleep, or play with their phones. Some of these children are simply rebellious, some come from poor family environments, and some are homeless.

If the families of the teenagers here were really worried, they would have come looking for them a long time ago. The fact that they can’t be found only shows that even their families don’t care about them.

However, there are also some young boys and girls who came from far away places, such as Hokkaido and Kyushu. How could parents have imagined that their children could run so fast?

To be honest, this place is just a bunch of lunatics.

Higashino Kanade doesn't come here often, but even when he comes occasionally, he can always see crazy guys.

"Really? You were here three months ago, and you're still here three months later. How come you didn't freeze to death?"

Higashino Kanade saw an acquaintance on the side of the road carrying a bag of bread and drinks. He went over to this "acquaintance" and sat down.

This was the runaway boy he met in Kabukicho. The reason for running away from home was very simple: he was bullied at school and suffered domestic violence at home. When he first met him, his face was covered with scars. He was standing alone under the eaves with a suitcase to avoid the rain. His face was pale and ugly. It was winter and the clothes he wore were not very thick, so he was shivering with cold.

"Higashino-kun..." The young man smiled awkwardly but happily when he saw Higashino Kanade, "You're here again."

"What else can I do? Are you going to watch these kids starve to death?" Dongye Zou sat on the ground and threw bread and drinks to the three boys and a girl in front of him. "You probably haven't had dinner yet. I'll treat you."

"Thank you."

The boy picked up the bread and drink thrown on his lap and expressed his gratitude, and the others followed suit and thanked Tono Kanade.

In Kabukicho, Higashino Kanade is quite famous. After all, he is the only one who often gives food and drinks to strangers. Although it is not much, most of the people who are helped are very grateful to him.

"You're welcome. Just be a good person and don't commit crimes as a thank you to me."

Higashino Kanade looked at the boy and girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"it is good."

The boy nodded gently.

"Then you guys go play, I'm leaving."

Higashino Kanade stood up, dusted off his pants, and prepared to go to the convenience store to buy some things to see if there was anyone more pitiful to give away.

He did not ask the boy if he needed help. To be honest, he could not help with anything other than water and food. It was not that he could not provide shelter, but if he provided them with shelter, what about the other poor people he met?

I can't help them. All I can do is to give them a meal and not starve to death. The rest is up to them.

In fact, people who can stay in Kabukicho for a long time, whether they are adults or minors, are more or less hopeless. Japan is not without protection agencies. Minors like this will contact their families, and if their families are not available, they will contact relatives to adopt them.

However, some of them, whether they are sent to a shelter or adopted by relatives, will escape again and continue to hang out with all kinds of people, or stay alone in Tokyo and commit crimes.

If it's a boy, he's a thief; if it's a girl, she's a God-awed girl. Of course, if a boy is good-looking, he can also be a God-awed boy.

"how much is it?"

Standing on the side of the road, Higashino Kanade was looking at the message on LINE. When he heard the question and looked up, he saw a stern face of an old-fashioned uncle.

"roll!"

Higashino Kanade kicked him without thinking and walked away cursing.

Damn it, I'm being treated as a prostitute again.

She was good-looking, standing on the roadside, and looking down at her phone, so she could easily be mistaken for a prostitute. But he really couldn't stand these guys whose lower bodies dominated their upper bodies, whether men or women, they didn't care about meat or vegetables, as long as they could connect.

Disgusting, really disgusting.

He knew that this was a matter of willingness, but that didn't stop him from feeling disgusted. You have to know that many of the people who come here to buy 0 have girlfriends, wives, and even sons and daughters. However, these people, for the sake of their desires for a few inches of their lower bodies, would take advantage of girls and even boys who are much smaller than themselves. It was really disgusting.

But what else could he do?

These problems are not only human problems, but also social problems.

Higashino Kanade walked to the next corner and met another uncle.

"Excuse me, may I ask..."

"No sale, crawl, crawl!"

Higashino Kanade had a look of disgust on his face.

"No, we are here to interview, not to buy... um, commission cases."

When the visitor heard what Dong Ye Zou said, he was stunned at first, then he reacted and hurriedly explained.

"Interview? NHK? Monday?"

Higashino Kanade didn't expect to be interviewed. He had been to Shinjuku so many times and had been interviewed by TV stations, but no reporter had ever interviewed him.

"NHK."

The reporter introduced himself and told Higashino Kanade that they were recording material for a documentary exposing social phenomena. They came to stake out Higashino Kanade because they had heard of his existence.

I'm fine with just squatting.

Higashino Kanade never thought that he would be noticed by NHK, which was making a documentary, just because he was just kind and generous.

However, this is also normal. If you only film the dark side of society without filming the bright side, it is not a documentary. When the production team learned that someone was distributing food to the homeless in Shinjuku, they would definitely film him. If he was a member of the production team, he would also film him, so that the documentary would become a hot topic when it is released.

Higashino Kanade didn't expect that he would be in the documentary. Although he thought there was a chance that he would be cut out, he still had a high probability of being in the documentary. Because he was recognized. The reporter didn't recognize him, but the photographer did.

Not only did they recognize him as a professional cartoonist for Weekly Shonen Jump, they also recognized him as the protagonist of several short videos circulating on the Internet, such as painting on the streets and apologizing to college students. Some old videos were remembered by the photographer. In order to confirm whether the protagonist in the video was the cartoonist, he asked the reporter to ask, and finally got a positive answer.

Higashino Kanade has seen those videos that were filmed by unknown people and posted online, but he doesn't care about it. Although most of the videos show his inappropriate behavior, it's just inappropriate behavior as long as it's not a criminal act.

What he didn't expect was that after learning about this, NHK contacted him and wanted to make a program to introduce him.

Originally, Higashino Kanade had no objection, but when he knew that they would not only introduce him, but also his dark history that was photographed by passers-by, he fell silent. There is a difference between spreading some things on the Internet and showing them on TV programs for the whole country to see, or even for fellow villagers across the sea to see.

Chapter 15 Girls' Toys

"You said you were interviewed by a reporter from NHK?"

"Ah."

"What are you interviewing? A homeless boy, a boy who sells sex?"

"Interviewed the dumb drunk in my family and asked that drunk how dumb he was to ask such a dumb question."

At night, in the studio, Tono Kanade told Hiroi Kikuri about the interview he had encountered. What he didn't expect was that Kikuri's imagination was so big. She thought that the reporter would ask him if he was a god-like boy who ran away from home because of his handsome looks and could only receive spring aid.

"Your idiot? Who is it? Konata? Naoko? Nijika? Ichiri?"

Hiroi Kikuri rested her chin on one hand, perfectly or deliberately eliminating the correct answer.

"It's you, the uneducated adult." Higashino Kanade complained unceremoniously, "Do you still remember what you learned in your school days?"

"I remember!" Hiroi Kikuri patted her chest and said proudly, "I remember addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and decimal points very clearly, okay?"

"What about the Pythagorean theorem?"

Higashino Kanade didn't even ask about advanced mathematics, he didn't think Kikuri had the intelligence to learn that.

"What is that? I've never heard of it."

Hiroi Kikuri covered her ears with her hands. She didn't want to recall her painful student days.

Studying is so painful.

"You must have forgotten everything."

Sometimes, Higashino Kanade is curious about how Kikuri got into college. Although Kikuri's university is not a well-known one and it is not difficult to get into, it is not that easy to get in either.

"No, I just can't remember."

Hiroi Kikuri argued.

“What difference does it make?”

Higashino Kanade came to the sofa and sat down, leaning lazily on the soft sofa.

"Yes, if you can't remember it, it's just temporary. You may remember it in the future. If you forget it, you really forget it and won't remember it again."

I don’t know where Hiroi Kikuri learned this twisted logic, but she can say it so seriously.

Higashino Kanade didn't complain. He was tired and didn't want to complain anymore.

"Did you sleep well tonight?"

Hiroi Kikuri asked when she saw Tono Kanade narrowing his eyes.

"Well, have a good sleep. Do you want to sleep together?"

Higashino Kanade lay on the sofa. He didn't feel anything when he didn't close his eyes, but he felt sleepy after closing his eyes for a while.

"If we sleep together, we won't be able to sleep well."

Hiroi Kikuri said with a smile.
