Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Chapter 94 Band Performance at the Cultural Festival

in the afternoon.

Tono Kanade is looking for Hiroi Kikuri at school.

The woman was still contactable in the morning, but at noon she said she went to a pub with Shima and Eliza for dinner and then there was no news.

Just now, just three minutes ago, she said she was back at school and asked Xiaozou to pick her up, saying she was very weak.

What do you mean weak? That guy must have been drinking. He must be drunk!

【I am under a tree】

Higashino Kanade sighed as she read the message sent by Hiroi Kikuri. If she was fully conscious, she would never say such an idiotic thing. There are so many trees in the school. She said she was under a tree, so how did he know which tree she was under?

I actually know which tree she is under.

There is a big tree in the backyard of the school where people often confess their love to the person they like after school.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kikuri should be there. If something unexpected happens, I'll use my super powers to find her.

Anyway, he is a person with super powers. Although he wants to be like Shigeo Kageyama and not rely on super powers, he still has to use his super powers when it can make his life more convenient.

Halfway there, Higashino Kanade heard the drunken and lazy voice of Hiroi Kikuri. He quickly saw Hiroi Kikuri standing under a tree, wearing a light black baseball cap, a men's-style large pullover, black tight jeans, and black Converse shoes.

"Hello~!"

Hiroi Kikuri, who saw him from afar, waved and greeted him enthusiastically.

When she comes to a place like school, Hiroi Kikuri still pays some attention to her appearance. She doesn't wear a coat + dress + clogs like she usually does, nor does she wear a leather jacket that makes her look like a rock and roll youth.

She was dressed very casually, but because she was good-looking, her clothes looked even better.

Unfortunately, her drunken appearance ruined the beauty, and she looked like she was about to fall down at any moment while staggering.

"Stop hello, you're so drunk and you still come to school to play, why would the guard let you in, you delinquent."

Higashino Kanade came to Hiroi Kikunai. If it was at home or outside, he would pat Hiroi Kikunai's face to wake her up, but this was at school and it was inconvenient for him to do so. The "rumor" about him having a harem was already spreading around the school. If his classmates saw him and Kikunai being intimate, then this "rumor" would be confirmed.

It is true that he is a sea king with few friends but many harems.

"Gatekeeper, is there one?" Hiroi Kikuri leaned towards Higashino Kanade and said with a smile, "I didn't see any."

"Hey, please stop doing this. We are in school. If the teachers and discipline committee see me, I will be in trouble."

Although Higashino Kanade said this, he had no resistance to getting close to Hiroi Kikuri.

"It's okay, you can just call me sister when the time comes. From now on, I'll be called Higashinohikiri."

Hiroi Kikuri put one hand on Higashino Kanade's shoulder, looking like a big sister.

It’s a pity that she is shorter than Higashino Kanade and her aura is not as strong.

"There's something wrong with you, Tono Kikuri. You don't just want to be a sister, do you?"

Higashino Kanade heard the hidden meaning in Hiroi Kikuri's words.

"hey-hey."

Hiroi Kikuri smiled but said nothing. If she and Xiaozou could get married and get a marriage certificate in the future, she would definitely have to change her last name. Although she didn't have to change it, she really wanted to hear the neighbors calling her "Mrs. Higashino".

"Stop it, you reek of alcohol. Let me help you get rid of the stink."

Higashino Kanade waved his hand and used his super powers to help Hiroi Kikuri remove the smell of alcohol from her body. Although there might be alcohol smell again later, it was okay, he just needed to continue using his super powers to remove it.

"it is good."

Hiroi Kikuri nodded.

Before the band performance in the afternoon, Higashino Kanade and Hiroi Kikuri were on a date at school. It was called a date, but in reality they were just playing games and eating. In school, where there were teachers and discipline committee members, Higashino Kanade and Hiroi Kikuri were not allowed to be intimate with each other. If they were seen, they would definitely be criticized.

I can only say that college is better. Not only can you be intimate in college, but you can also kiss whenever you want. If you are brave enough, you can do obscene things in the school's grove or other secret places.

Well, although he could have done what he wanted in high school if he had super powers, he is a serious person and would not do anything indecent.

Well, it's just that he wasn't in the mood to do it today, at least not during the day. The school's cultural festival was until the evening. If he really had to do Ghs, he could wait until after dark. It wasn't appropriate to do something indecent in broad daylight, at least not in school.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the campus stage performance began.

In addition to the rock performance by the ending band, the program includes a play by the drama club, a musical performance by the light music club, a manzai performance by the basketball club, and various programs from other clubs.

The school requires all clubs to perform on stage. Clubs like the drama club and the light music club have no problem performing on stage, but other clubs, especially sports clubs, find it very difficult and can only perform manzai, magic, singing and other programs.

This is when the advantages of the Homecoming Department come into play. The Homecoming Department does not need to perform any shows. If they want to perform, they can perform a Homecoming show on the spot.

The cultural festival's stage performances are divided into two days. After all, there are many clubs, and there are also students who voluntarily sign up to perform, so there are too many programs to finish in one afternoon, and it will take two afternoons.

The school requires clubs to perform, but does not require students to watch, which comes as a relief to some students who have no interest in stage performances.

It's a pity to say that neither Konata's class, Ichiri and Naoko's class, nor Nijika and Ryo's class had a maid cafe.

Maid cafes are obviously an indispensable part of the campus cultural festival, but there are more than ten classes in one grade, more than forty classes in three grades, and nearly fifty classes, but only one class opened a maid cafe, and it was not his girlfriends' class.

Originally, he wanted to eat Ichiri and the others' loving-kind omelette rice. Konata, Nozomi, Ichiri, Nijika, anyone would be fine!

Higashino Kanade and Hiroi Kikuri arrived at the gymnasium and found that there were already many students there.

"so many people."

Higashino Kanade didn't expect there would be so many people in the gymnasium.

Can the band hold up after this performance? There are more people in this gymnasium than in the Live House. After all, no matter how big the Live House is, it can't be that big. Even Shinjuku FOLT and Fanxing can't hold so many people like a school gymnasium.

I hope Ichiri won't get so nervous that he doesn't perform well. Oh, remember the anime where Ichiri's guitar broke down, right? What should I do if it breaks down? Should I use my super powers to fix it, or should I find a glass bottle for Ichiri to show off his skills?

Well, to be on the safe side, I'd better choose super powers.

Reality is not animation. If he were watching an animation, he would definitely want a thrilling plot. However, in reality, it is better to choose a stable route.

It would be foolish to watch things deteriorate when you have the ability to solve them.

Chapter 95 A Bigger Stage

Ending the band does not imply an end, but rather a bond.

Today, four girls, Ryo Yamada, Ikuyo Kita, Ichiri Goto, and Nijichi Ichika, will perform on the big stage of the Shimokitazawa High School Cultural Festival.

Higashino Kanade watched plays, manzai, and one show after another that was not very interesting but not boring. Finally, under the attention of everyone, at least under his attention, the ending band came on stage.

"The basketball club was performing manzai. I thought they were going to perform something like 'I Want to Play Basketball'."

As the band was about to go on stage, Higashino Kanade was still obsessed with the manzai performed by the basketball club. In fact, what he was obsessed with was not the manzai performed by the basketball club, but the crosstalk "I Want to Play Basketball" performed by students of Tsinghua University that he had seen in another world.

There is no way that basketball plus manga will inevitably make him think of basketball plus crosstalk, and when talking about basketball and crosstalk, he will think of this program that combines chicken, basketball, and crosstalk.

"What? I want to play basketball. By the way, Xiaozou, can you play basketball?"

Hiroi Kikuri didn't understand what Higashino Kanade was saying, but it didn't matter, she didn't need to understand, anyway, Higashino Kanade must be playing some kind of joke that she couldn't understand. Besides Konata, only Naoko could barely follow up on his jokes, the former was a master of playing jokes, and the latter would learn anything about Higashino Kanade that she didn't understand.

"know a little."

Higashino Kanade held his chin and recalled that he played basketball before he traveled through time, but in junior high school. However, after he became addicted to the second dimension in junior high school, he couldn't stop and became a nerd who didn't like sports.

After that, my body became weaker and weaker, and after I graduated from college and started working, I exercised even less.

The main reason for exercising after traveling through time is to be able to start a harem. If you don't have the physical capital to start a harem, you will die and be squeezed to death by the succubus behind you.

"really?"

Hiroi Kikuri didn't believe it. Although Xiaozou would run and exercise every night, she could tell that he was not a sporty boy, but a stay-at-home boy.

"Really? You don't believe in my superpowers? I can actually play killer basketball!"

Higashino Kanade said with confidence.

"Hey, what the hell is murderous basketball? That's not a basketball skill, it's a criminal method!"

Even Hiroi Kikuri couldn't help but complain when she heard what Higashino Kanade said.

Is this a passionate basketball game?!

"How could that be? Do you know "Tennis Boy" and "Black and White Basketball"? The characters in these two comics use super powers to play basketball."

Higashino Kanade patted Hiroi Kikuri on the shoulder, his eyes open but he didn't seem to be lying.

Especially "The Prince of Tennis". The comic is still being serialized, and it seems to be getting more and more outrageous. To be honest, if he traveled to that world, he felt that as a person with super powers, he might not be able to beat them in tennis, and his life might even be in danger.

Take the plot version for example. How can someone play tennis after sinking to the bottom of the sea? And it is even more outrageous that the final of the national competition can deprive people of their five senses. Are they really playing tennis? Are they not fighting for the power of rules and trying to become gods?

"Are you bullying me for not having read those two comics? I have read a little bit of them, and the people in them use their super powers everywhere."

Hiroi Kikuri had read those two comics when she was a student. Although she had no impression of them, she knew that no matter how much the characters in the comics looked like superpowers, they were not really superpowers. The setting of their world was that playing basketball was terrible.

"That's not a superpower."

Dongye Zou asked back.

In the comics world, many sports-themed comics are actually superpower comics. There are relatively few comics that truly follow real sports. Most of them are about superpower people fighting each other and using superpowers to do sports.

Murderous tennis, superpower basketball, fantasy table tennis, there is no most outrageous, only more outrageous.

Higashino Kanade and Hiroi Kikuri were discussing this while waiting for the band to come on stage.

……

Backstage, Goto Ichiri was secretly observing from behind the curtain.

"So nervous."

Seeing the huge crowd of spectators outside, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but get nervous. His heart was pounding so fast that he seemed to be able to hear it clearly.

"Pochi-chan, you're too nervous."

No, it wasn't just seeming to be heard, it was really heard clearly. Ichichi Hongxia and the others heard it clearly.

Normally at this time, Yamada Ryo would say a few heartless words to liven up the atmosphere and ease everyone's tension, but this time she didn't say anything. Instead, she crossed her arms and remained silent. She looked very calm, but she was actually very panicked inside.

The last time she performed on stage at the campus cultural festival, the entire venue was as cold as a mourning hall. This time she returned as a queen, and I don’t know whether she is making a comeback or renewing her old relationship.

Yamada Ryo was so nervous that his mind became weird and even his words and sentences became nonsense.

"Take a deep breath, Goto-san, take a deep breath."

Seeing that Goto Ichiri's heart was about to jump out of her chest, Kita Ikuyo quickly asked her to take a deep breath to calm down.

At this time, the backstage person in charge of notifying the students who were going to the stage came over and told them that the band could go on stage.

"Okay, let's form a circle and cheer each other on."

The performance was about to begin. Seeing that everyone was very nervous, Ichichi Hongxia suggested cheering themselves up before going on stage.

Keep going forward, because they will be on a bigger stage in the future.

In the gymnasium, not only Higashino Kanade and Hiroi Kikuri came to watch the performance, but also Izumi Konata, Higashino Suzu, Nishimiya Yuzuru, Nishimiya Shoko, Hiiragi Tsukasa, Hiiragi Kagami and Kora Miyuki, even Ijichi Hoshika, Iwashita Shima and Shimizu Elisa came too.

Of course, Yili’s parents and sister came too.

Although it was just a small cultural festival, after all, the band has stepped out of the live house and performed on a big stage. After that, we will work hard towards a bigger stage.

As the band came on stage, Hiroi Kikuri shouted enthusiastically towards the stage.

"Pochi-chan, Pochi-chan, we are here, here!"

"Pochi-chan, who is it, who is it?"

“What a unique name.”

“Isn’t that the dog’s name?”

The audience below the stage started talking.

"..."

what……

When Goto Ichiri saw that Hiroi Kikuri looked like she had drunk fake alcohol, he wanted to pretend that he didn't know Kikuri.

"Didn't see it."

Ijichi Hongxia muttered softly, Xiaozou was with her, so Kikuri should not have drunk, so why did she still look like she had been drunk? Even if she had been drunk, she should have only tasted a little, not like she is now.

Well, just pretend you don’t know me.

Ijichi Nijixia saw Yamada Ryo, Goto Ichiri, and Kita Ikuyo looking at her and winking at her.

Let’s start warming up and then performing!
