Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Higashino Kanade shook his head.

"Why did you catch a cold?" Hiroi Kikuri asked this question on the way home. She was silent for about three seconds and then said, "Did you go to stop the typhoon yesterday? Well, although I think it's unlikely, you should have gone, otherwise why would there be no one in the room at night?"

“You discovered it.”

Higano Kanade was a little surprised. He didn't expect Hiroi Kikuri to find out that he disappeared last night. He smiled and said, "Is it to attack me at night?"

"Ah."

Hiroi Kikuri nodded and agreed softly: "It was to attack you at night, but you were not here."

"Can this be kept secret?"

"I thought you were going to tell Yili and Hongxia so that they would be moved and love you more?"

"No need, they already love me very much, don't you too?"

"Yeah, maybe it's because I was hypnotized by your superpowers, otherwise why would I like you."

"Please don't be so ridiculous. If you want to hypnotize me, you should hypnotize me. You used to be a big alcoholic and a bad person, while I am an excellent cartoonist, a handsome and young middle school student. I have good looks and money. I am a Prince Charming, and you are just a Cinderella."

Higashino Kanade seems to be criticizing Hiroi Kikuri, but in fact he is comparing Hiroi Kikuri to Cinderella, a beautiful character in a fairy tale. She looks "dusty" but is actually very beautiful and well-mannered.

Well, Kikuri is not very well-mannered, but she is really beautiful, and her personality is also very good as long as she doesn't drink. In fact, when Kikuri doesn't drink, she behaves a little cold and icy outside, but at home she is full of energy and super energetic.

Abbreviation: crowd-pleaser.

Cold in front of strangers and crazy in front of acquaintances.

"I'm not Cinderella, I'm Snow White, and you're not Prince Charming, you're a dwarf."

"I'm taller than you, okay?"

"But didn't you say that when you first met me, you weren't a dwarf?"

"Tsk."

Chapter 85 Together forever

Night, ten o'clock midnight.

Higashino Kanade, Izumi Konata, Nishimiya Naoko, and Hiroi Kikuri were eating oden together at the terrace.

The so-called yatai is actually a small mobile shop like a roadside stall.

It is about the same size as a small van, with a paved top and wheels underneath. It is also very common in snack streets in China.

After returning to the studio, Higashino Kanade went to sleep. He woke up at about eleven o'clock. Although he was still a little tired, he didn't want to sleep anymore. When he woke up, he found that Konata and Naoko didn't go home, but came to the studio. They didn't sleep either, but played games. They said that Kikuri said that he wanted to have a midnight snack, so they didn't sleep, but waited for him to wake up to have a midnight snack.

He was a little tired, so he naturally didn't want to have a midnight snack, so he took Konata, Naoko, and Kikuri out to eat oden. Originally, they wanted to go to an izakaya, but they happened to come across this oden restaurant outside, so they decided to eat oden at this roadside stall.

Although the weather was a bit hot at night, Dongye Zou had its own air conditioner, so everyone didn’t feel too hot while eating. On the contrary, they felt very comfortable because of the cool air emitted by Dongye Zou.

Hiroi Kikuri was drinking shochu and was in a very happy mood.

She would be happy as long as she had wine to drink, and she would be even happier if she had oden to go with the wine.

So happy, this kind of life, a life of eating, drinking and having fun all day long is really so happy. It is said that wasting time will make people decadent, but wasting time happily will not make people decadent, it will only make people happy to the point of forgetting everything else.

"But, I'm really going to become a greasy adult this way. I'll be idle and do nothing during the day, and at night I'll drink shochu, eat oden, and hang out with a bunch of bad friends."

Perhaps because she was drunk, Hiroi Kikuri started talking nonsense.

"What greasy adult? We are all high school students, okay? I am just you, the adult."

Higashino Kanade was drinking orange juice. Although he said so, he felt the same way in his heart. He and Kikuri were like uncles who were 35 years old but had a decent career. They had enough time and money to have fun. They played during the day, ate and drank at night, and did things that were not suitable for children. They did it day after day without getting tired.

However, what's wrong with such a life? It seems full of hedonism, but isn't it all for pleasure that people live and work hard throughout their lives?

He would not feel guilty about enjoying himself. On the contrary, he felt that he deserved to enjoy himself. As a time traveler, he should enjoy himself to the fullest. Otherwise, how could he justify traveling to such a beautiful world?

"Damn it, please don't say such a sad fact, I want to be a high school student too."

Hiroi Kikuri felt a little melancholy when she heard this. Kozoue, Konata, and Naoko were all high school students, but she was an adult. By the time the three of them graduated from high school, she would be almost 30 years old. By the time they graduated from college, she would really be an old lady in her 30s.

She used to think that 30 years old is an auntie, but now that she is in her twenties, she feels that 30 years old is not old at all, how can she be an auntie, it is really abominable. People can obviously live over 100 years old, why should they be called aunties when they are over 30 years old? What's even worse is that some brats call girls over 21 aunties.

This world is so unfair to people over the age of 20!

"Don't think about it. If you go back to high school, will you be able to do the high school questions?"

Higashino Kanade asked a fatal question.

"Pfft!"

This made Nishimiya Glass laugh. When she saw Hiroi Kikuri looking at her, she immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it."

"I hope you can hold back next time."

Hiroi Kikuri didn't care, but smiled and said confidently: "No, but I am a bad girl."

"Just shut up. If you want to be a bad girl, you can only be a malnourished girl."

As Higashino Kanade spoke, he looked at Hiroi Kikuri's chest. With that little bit of flesh, she couldn't be a bad girl, but she was qualified to be a malnourished girl.

"Xiaozou, there's something wrong with your eyes."

Quan Konakata noticed the look in Dongye Zou's eyes. She was not happy with Xiaozou's teasing towards Kikuri. If Kikuri was malnourished, then what was she, skinny? Xiaozou was not friendly to small girls at all. She really wanted to give him a punch, no, two punches, as he only liked big girls!

"Something is wrong, look at my pure eyes."

As Higashino Kanade spoke, she looked at Izumi Konata, their green eyes meeting each other's.

"If you were pure, there would be no impure people in this world."

Quan Chifang didn't believe it at all. She couldn't understand the emotions in Dongye Zou's eyes, but she was sure that there was pure, pure desire in Xiaozou's eyes, without a trace of purity.

"Really? You make me sad?"

Higashino Kanade pretended to cry, but unfortunately, Konaka ignored him and continued eating the oden.

Izumi Konata ignored Tono Kanade, but Hiroi Kikuri paid attention to Tono Kanade. She patted Tono Kanade's leg and said, "If I am malnourished, then you are overnourished."

"Well……"

Nishimiya Naoko blushed when she heard this. She immediately understood what Kikuri said to Xiaozou. Xiaozou was indeed overnourished. If she was small and cute before, now she is like a dame, the kind that will die if she goes in.

This is just an analogy. It is not really small, nor is it really big. It is just to describe the rapid growth, which is a bit scary. Xiaozou is beyond the normal level, but not far beyond the normal level. It is within the acceptable level.

"I'm not overnourished, I'm just gifted."

Higashino Kanade laughed and said that he didn't want to talk more about this topic. It's not that he was shy, but he was worried that the drunk Kikuri would say something weird, which would be bad if the store owner knew how close he was to the girls around him.

Although they were all strangers, he didn't want to be looked at strangely by his boss. It was not pleasant to be looked at by scumbags.

The night is very long.

The time taken to eat is also very long.

After getting drunk, Hiroi Kikuri complained about a lot of things. Although alcohol was a spiral of happiness for her, how could such uncomfortable things be buried by alcohol? Instead, they could only be revealed after drinking.

Fortunately, Hiroi Kikuri doesn't have too much pain and complaints now. She just complains gently. She complains about having to clean the house and not being a complete waste; she complains about not being able to attend the celebration party; she complains about being 30 years old when everyone is still young...

Hiroi Kikuri's biggest complaint is that she is not that young anymore, but everyone is still young. She is worried that when everyone is in their twenties and full of energy, she will be in her thirties and approaching forty. Will she still have such a young mentality and can still get along with everyone so easily?

Hiroi Kikuri actually has little confidence about the future.

But when she was drowsy and about to fall asleep, she heard words, words that reassured her.

"It's okay, we will all be together forever."

Chapter 86 Friendship and Magic of Magical Girls (?)

Summer vacation is coming to an end unknowingly.

A one-month summer vacation is really short.

For Higashino Kanade, who had experienced a two-month summer vacation and a nearly three-month summer vacation after graduating from high school, a one-month summer vacation was really too short.

But even if it feels short, what does it matter? The damn first day of school is coming again.

Although Higashinohō Kanade's grades were still among the best in high school, which made him feel that there was no need to learn the knowledge of the first year of high school, it was impossible for him to study in a formal classroom. He could only go to school obediently, study hard, and improve every day.

The high school youth love comedy that I expected in junior high school did not appear at all. Instead, it was the same endless study hell as in junior high school.

High school life is harder than junior high school life. Even in the first year of high school, some students in the class have already gone to tutoring classes to study hard for a good university. The pressure of studying has been apparent since entering high school. Some students still join clubs and work hard for national competitions, while others are just returning home and have no intention of going to university. They think that finishing high school is enough.

The employment rate of high school graduates in Japan is quite high, but the jobs that high school students can do are naturally not comparable to those that college students can do. Although high school students have a first-mover advantage over college students, there are many jobs that cannot be done without education and sufficient knowledge, such as doctors, lawyers, and police.

The morning of the first day of school.

Higashino Kanade woke up and prepared breakfast for two people and exquisite bento for five people. The breakfast for two people was naturally eaten by him and Kikuri, while the bento for five people was eaten by him, Konata, Naoko, Ichiri, and Kouxia.

Originally his mother made his lunch boxes, then her mother made lunch boxes for him and Konata, and then from some day on, he started making lunch boxes for himself and Konata, and then he made lunch boxes for another child, Nozomi, and he started making lunch boxes for Ichiri and Nijika as well, probably when he entered high school.

It happened not long ago, but he forgot the exact day. He only knew that he was now accustomed to making lunch boxes for everyone, and was also accustomed to delivering lunch boxes to Hongxia despite the teasing of her classmates and Liang's resentful looks.

Why did Liang look at him with resentment? It was not because she liked him or was jealous, but the lunch box he made for Hongxia was very exquisite, which made Liang envious. Liang hoped that he could also make a lunch box for her, but he refused righteously.

Therefore, whenever he brought lunch to Hongxia, Liang would deliberately stare at him with a resentful look.

Last night he asked everyone in the group if they needed the lunch boxes he made, and the answers were all yes, even Xiaoling and Yuzuru said yes, but he ruthlessly rejected them. They were not in the same school, so even if he made lunch boxes for them, he would not be able to hand them over.

"I'm going out." Higashino Kanade packed his lunch, said goodbye to Hiroi Kikuri, and asked, "I'll leave the dishes to you."

"Okay, be careful along the way."

Hiroi Kikuri, who was still eating breakfast, held the porridge and watched Higashino Kanade leave.

Well, Xiaozou went to school. After eating, taking a shower and cleaning up, it was time for her to go out. Their band was going to release an album, so she, Shima and Eliza had to go to the recording studio to record songs. It would be very hard during this period. After all, it was impossible to record a song in one go. If it was slow, it might take a week.

Higashino Kanade came to school and first went to Class 2 to deliver lunch boxes to Konata, and then went to Class 3 to deliver lunch boxes to Naoko and Ichiri. He came a little early and the three of them had not come to school yet, so he put all the lunch boxes in the cabinet under the table.

Then I sent a message to them in the group to tell them about this, so that they wouldn't have to come over during lunch break and make a wasted trip, or they wouldn't know there were lunch boxes in the cupboard and accidentally bring the lunch boxes out and drop them on the ground when taking out books.

It would be fine if his lunchbox was gone, but it would be a big deal if his lunchbox was given to the idiot among them who lost his lunchbox. The food in the school cafeteria was not very good, and the food in the school canteen was even worse. He could not accept fried noodles and bread at all. He could not accept it at all.

Higashino Kanade returned to the classroom, put his schoolbag on the table and took out the drawing from it.

Get ready and start drawing.

There were no classes on the first day of school, so he just cleaned up and listened to the speech of the student union president and the principal. Since there was nothing to do, he might as well draw. He had a lot of things to draw now. To be honest, he wanted to turn into a tentacle monster, which would not only improve his drawing efficiency, but also make the magical girl... well, nothing.

He already has a lot of harems, so no more magical girls. If there are magical girls, the world view will become weird. Ever since Urobuchi created "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", magical girls who value friendship and magic (?) have become more and more weird. Either they develop into depression, or they develop into a cure that causes depression first.

Before long, more people came into the classroom.

Unfortunately, he and Konata are not in the same class, nor are they in the same class with Naoko and Ichiri. Although he and Kagami are in the same class, they are just ordinary friends and he cannot tease or tease her. He can only draw silently, waiting for the teacher to arrive, talk about some things, and then go to the opening ceremony, then go back to the classroom to clean up and go home after school.

If they don't take the college entrance examination, the life of Japanese high school students can be as easy as it is today every day. But if they do take the college entrance examination, they will have to take the same examination paper as in China.

There is no way, the three East Asian countries are the same, many things are the same.

Higashino Kanade hopes that everyone can get into college, but he doesn't have much confidence in Naoko and Ichiri. Although it's not impossible for them not to go to college, he still hopes that they won't enter society too early, but be innocent college students.

University life is good. Even if you choose a major that is close to the college entrance examination, university life is better than high school. Eh? This is a comparison with China. If it is Japan, then it seems that Japanese high schools are better. After all, Japanese high schools can be content to be useless, but Chinese high schools cannot.

Don’t ask why it doesn’t work. The answer is that you have to work hard and strive, otherwise you will become Camel Xiangzi.

When I think about it this way, life is really hard.

Higashino Kanade thought about these things, but was not disturbed by emotions. He was very indifferent while drawing the manga of "False Hero". You can be troubled by emotions when drawing, but you can't be troubled by inappropriate emotions. When drawing passionate battle scenes, you should be passionate, not depressed. When drawing depressing plots, you can't be particularly passionate, but you should protect depression so that you can draw a sad story.

He has been drawing this comic for many years, and it has entered the middle stage. It's not that he has never thought about drawing a super long comic, but he found that the story of "False Hero" is almost over, and if he forcefully continues the story, it will easily become worse and worse.

A good work should be completed at the appropriate time to avoid it getting worse and worse, with either a bad ending or an outrageous plot.

Chapter 87 Animation in progress...

You cannot drop out of metaphysics.

Higashino Zouxing wanted to drop out of school, but unfortunately he couldn't do so. He had to go to school honestly to set an example for his family.

Physical education class.

The September sun is still very hot.

Higashino Kanade was standing under the shade of a tree, slacking off, looking at the girls from the next class who were also taking physical education classes. He was mainly looking at Goto Ichiri and Nishimiya Shoko among the girls.

After running, Nishimiya Naoko was at ease, while Goto Ichiri fell on the grass as if he was about to die, which made Naoko ask with concern whether he wanted to go to the health room to rest.

You have such wasted energy, Pochi-chan.
