Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"How about we eat at my house? I have a lot of food in my refrigerator. Xiaozou will cook."

Ijichi Kouka tilted her head, looked at Higashino Kanade and blinked.

"Go to your home?"

Higashino Kanade looked embarrassed. His father-in-law and mother-in-law must be at home today. His mother-in-law was easy to deal with since she was just a ghost and he could pretend not to see her. But it was harder to deal with his father-in-law. Besides, today was New Year's Day so he had to say hello to his mother-in-law anyway. It was impossible for him to completely pretend that he didn't have any super powers and couldn't see her.

"What's wrong? It's okay. Dad is drunk and should be sleeping."

Ichichi Hongxia knew what Tono Kanade was troubled about.

"Well, okay."

Dongye Kanade thought about it and felt that it would be a good idea to go to Hongxia's house to cook and eat. It would be quite troublesome to eat out at this time today. It's not that there are no stores open, but there are probably not many stores open, and what to eat is also a problem. It would be better to go to Hongxia's house to see what's in the refrigerator and make a delicious meal with limited ingredients.

What's more, many restaurants outside look magnificent, but the food actually tastes just so-so. If you are unlucky, you might end up in a rip-off. Even the chef of a restaurant you frequent may not perform well and make a good dish taste bad at all.

It's a pity that he can't drink and he is underage. If he were an adult, he might be able to drink a little wine later. After one drink, he would be too drunk to go home. Then he would stay at Hongxia's house, and when he sobered up at night, he would sneak into Hongxia's room, and then... hehehe.

Well, having said that, Hongxia's house is not big. If he were to stay overnight at Hongxia's house, Xingge and Hongxia might stay in the same room. At that time, he might not be touching Hongxia's bed, but Xingge's bed. If the night attack on Hongxia turns into Xingge, something unexpected will happen.

But that shouldn't happen. He will definitely do his homework beforehand. If Hongxia and Xingge share a room, then forget it.

After making the decision, they went to visit Hongxia's home.

He probably wouldn't stay at Hong Xia's house tonight. Even if he did, some people would stay at Hong Xia's house, while others would stay at the studio. Not surprisingly, he wouldn't stay at Hong Xia's house. After all, he couldn't sleep in the same bed with Hong Xia in the presence of his father-in-law.

As for sleeping on the floor, sleeping on the floor in Tokyo in the winter with no floor heating or heating can only be said to be too comfortable to sleep at night, and it is simply uncomfortable. Of course, if something strange happened at night, he could force himself to sleep on the floor, anyway, the quilt would be warm.

Chapter 114 Stop Growing

At Ichichi Higurashi's house, Higashino Kanade spent the last night of the year.

The old year has passed and the new year has arrived.

Although as a Han Chinese he attaches more importance to New Year's Eve than New Year's Day, he has stayed in Japan for too long and New Year's Day has replaced New Year's Eve.

There is nothing that can be done about it. In Japan, the atmosphere of celebrating New Year's Day is strong, but no one knows what New Year's Eve is. Therefore, influenced by the environment, he attaches less and less importance to New Year's Eve.

Moreover, the Spring Festival Gala is getting uglier and uglier, the New Year atmosphere at home is just so-so, and there are no fireworks on New Year's Eve. If you really want to experience the New Year atmosphere, you have to go to Chinatown. It's really hard for him not to value New Year's Eve less and less.

“It’s 2017 now.”

Higashino Kanade drank juice and couldn't help but sigh when looking at the leftovers on the table.

I have to sigh every year. I sighed last year, I sighed this year, and I will sigh next year.

"What's up? It's a new year, are you going to have a nice game of Rainbow Six?"

When Quan Chifang heard Dongye Zuo's sigh, he immediately came close to Dongye Zuo and spoke quietly.

"do not want!"

Higashino Kanade made a bitter face and expressed his rejection of the game. He didn't want to play this game where veterans beat up newbies. Besides, the game required one to stay for a hundred years and attack for one minute, which was not suitable for someone like him who liked to kill.

Therefore, he is still suitable for playing Paradox games, games about killing people, killing people like crazy, what is crazy, and what is a human being.

"Hey, why not? Then let's play..."

Before Quan Cifang could finish his words, someone interrupted him.

"This—way—!"

Ichichi Hongxia didn't want to look at Izumi Konata. Although she interrupted Konata's words, she knew very well that Konata was going to say something terrible.

Xiaoling and Yuzuru are here, they haven't slept yet, and my sister is here too. Please don't say such inappropriate things in a place like this, okay? And what if dad woke up and heard what Jifang said just now? As a qualified adult, dad would definitely understand Jifang's words in seconds.

"hey-hey."

Quan Cifang smiled and said nothing more.

Hong Xia is really something. She won’t let her tease Xiao Zou.

The dishes for midnight snack were given to Ichichi Hongxia and Ichichi Xingge to wash. Xingge was not very good at cooking, but she was still okay at washing dishes. After all, when Hongxia was at home, it was Hongxia who cooked and she washed the dishes.

"I'm full, I'm full, it's time to go to bed."

Higashino Ling patted her belly. She was very satisfied with the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight. Two New Year’s Eve dinners in the evening was really good.

but……

"Xiaozou, the potatoes are a bit salty because they have too much salt."

As if possessed by Nohara Shinnosuke, the full-fledged Higashino Suzu gave sharp comments on the dishes cooked by Higashino Kanade.

"What did you call me? Again?"

Higashino Kanade clenched his left fist and placed it against Higashino Ling's head, the threat in his tone being self-evident.

"Xiao...ah, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Higashino Suzu wanted to be arrogant, but she apologized immediately after getting hit on the head with a fist.

Then, seeing that Higashino Kanade let her go, she covered her head and said indignantly: "Why? Yuzuru called you that too, why didn't you hit him?"

"You are my sister, Yuzuru is someone else's sister, and sisters should still fight their own."

Dongye Kanade rubbed Dongye Ling's head and rolled his eyes, "Also, don't pretend, I didn't use any force at all, you are just rubbing for nothing."

"People's physiques cannot be generalized. You didn't use any force, but I felt your powerful internal force. I have been injured internally."

Higashino Ling started talking nonsense in a serious manner.

"I can see that you have a brain injury."

"Hiss, you're so annoying!"

"What's so annoying about that? Didn't you say you had internal injuries? I hit your head, so isn't it normal for your brain to have internal injuries?"

Higashino Kanade's words made everyone who had been trying to hold back their laughter burst out laughing.

"Pfft haha!"

Quan Konata was the first to laugh mercilessly. The others couldn't help laughing because Konata laughed. There was nothing they could do. Although they didn't want to laugh at Xiaoling, the conversation between Xiaozou and Xiaoling was really funny.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room became joyful.

Being laughed at by everyone, Dongye Ling became even more dissatisfied with her brother and pretended to bite him, but Dongye Zou, who was prepared, dodged nimbly and pressed Dongye Ling's forehead with one hand.

"Humph, weak."

"You are the weak one!"

It cannot be said that the daily life of siblings is like this every day, but it is like this occasionally.

The older Xiaoling got, the less she stuck to him. Instead, she became more rebellious, and would talk back to and play pranks on him more often.

Higashino Kanade doesn't care much about this. She just turned from a soft and cute loli into a tsundere girl during her rebellious period. When she grows up and reaches high school, her personality may become that of a gentle girl.

As the saying goes, girls change a lot when they grow up, not only their appearance changes (physically), but also their personality changes.

After all the noise, it was already one o'clock. Xiaoling and Yuzuru couldn't stand it anymore, and Xiaozi, who was used to going to bed early, couldn't stand it either. Because the family was not very close, Hongxia didn't ask them to stay overnight, but waved goodbye and told them to be careful on the road.

Hongxia's house is really not big, it can only accommodate Xiaoling and Yuzuru, and it won't be able to accommodate more people. However, everyone else has to go to the studio to sleep, so it is better to take Xiaoling and Yuzuru with them. Hongxia's house does not have spare clothes and other daily necessities for Xiaoling and Yuzuru, so it is quite troublesome to let them spend the night here.

"Come on, each of you carry one."

Higashino Kanade pointed at Higashino Suzu and Nishimiya Yuzuru who were already asleep on the sofa, and looked at Nishimiya Naoko and said, "In the past, he and Konata carried the child, but now it's no longer possible. The reason is very sad, that is, both Suzu and Yuzuru are taller than Konata, and Konata, a short guy, is not suitable to carry them anymore."

It's strange to say, Xiaoling and Yuzuru are already in junior high school, and will be in the second grade next year, but they are so sleepy that they fall asleep at this time. It's really the same as when they were in elementary school. Once it's past the time to go to bed, they can easily fall asleep as long as they are sitting, lying or leaning.

"Ah."

Nishimiya Naoko nodded and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

She is about to die, so she goes home quickly, washes her face and goes to bed.

She has no fighting power tonight, so if she must fight, she will not participate, and let Konoha and Kozou do it themselves. She will sleep comfortably and wait until tomorrow to have her first sex of the new year, to get a good omen for the new year. (Bushi)

"So annoying."

On the way back, Tono Kanade and Nishimiya Naoko walked in front, and Izumi Konata walked behind. She looked at the two people in front who were carrying people, and then felt quite sad when she thought about her own height that she could no longer carry Xiaoling and Yuzuru.

Although she no longer cared about her height and breast development, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed at this time.

Why can’t she carry Rin and Yuzuru on her back? Why isn’t she the one being carried by Kanade?

Chapter 115: Goto Ichiri

In spring you feel sleepy, in summer you feel tired, in autumn you feel powerless, and in winter it is the best time to sleep.

After New Year's Day, Higashino Kanade stayed at home. He neither went to the shrine to pray nor went home often to chat with his parents about life, ideals and the future.

He stayed at home in the studio, spending every day either painting or leading a hard life.

On the evening of New Year's Day, Hiroi Kikuri returned to the studio and lived a happy and blissful life every day, drinking, playing bass, and doing bad things.

Hiroi Kikuri, 25 years old, has long lived a life that many of her peers envy and hate. There is no rent, no water and electricity, no need to go to work, work is her hobby, and she can make a lot of money from her hobby. This kind of life is beyond 90% of her peers.

Hiroi Kikuri is not dissatisfied with her current life. If she has to say something, it is that her boyfriend Kozou has few friends and many concubines. But after so many years, she has gotten used to it. It is a good thing to have Konakata, Naoko, Nijika, and Ichiri around, so that she will not have to empathize with the middle-aged uncles who are helpless in their middle age.

Xiaozou said they were succubi, but in their eyes, Xiaozou was a humanoid self-propelled artillery, like the hero in the book. Although she was very satisfied physically and mentally, she was also very tired physically and mentally. After all, being too happy could easily lead to the opposite of extremes.

"Xiaozou, it's a new year."

In the morning, Hiroi Kikuri looked at the snow outside the window and talked to Higashino Kanade.

"Well, you're another year older."

Higashino Kanade nodded and said the hurtful words calmly.

"Xiaozou, your words are so sad."

Hiroi Kikuri rubbed her face. Although she had a baby face, she always felt that her face had many wrinkles when she heard Xiaozou's words.

"There's nothing to be sad about. Everyone gets older. You're one year older, and so am I."

Higashino Kanade saw Hiroi Kikuri rubbing her face like a sea otter and the more she looked at her, the cuter she looked.

As an adult, Kikuri has the face of an underage person. Although she usually looks careless and unkempt, she is very charming when she is serious. When she has no expression and doesn't speak, she looks like an iceberg beauty; when she plays the bass and hums a song, she looks like an artistic girl; and when she is at home not drinking and watching romance dramas, she turns into a soft girl.

"You and I are different. You are still young, and I am already old."

When she was living alone, Hiroi Kikuri didn't feel old, but after meeting Higashino Kanade, she thought she was old. There was no way, no matter how you look at it, she, an adult, can't compare to Kanade, a high school student.

It sounds like there is not much difference between high school students and adults, but what if we replace high school students with elementary school students, or become elementary school students and adults?

It is really amazing to say this. She would never have thought that she would date a primary school student after meeting him. I can understand the feelings of those perverts who like loli. After all, she liked a shota, watched him grow up and dated him.

If I were a man and Xiaozou was a woman, then my relationship with Xiaozou would really become a loli-cultivation relationship.

Well, that's not right. To be precise, it should be that the rich loli supports the useless uncle. Then wouldn't Xiaozou have five black and one white concubines?

Hiroi Kikuri thought of the books she had read. She was not a person who liked to read books, but when Konoha placed the books around in the studio, she couldn't help but take a few more looks out of curiosity, and these few more looks easily opened the door to the world of books.

Some of the postures and knowledge are really imaginative.

Today, as usual, is a day of staying at home. Higashino Kanade has no intention of going out to play, and Hiroi Kikuri has no activities. The band performed on New Year's Eve, and the next performance will be in the second week. Xingge also has no band performance, so the two people in the studio have no intention of going to Fanxing to watch the Live House.

It's good to stay at home. Although going out to play is also nice, it is not a comfortable thing to go out in this cold weather. Let's wait until spring, and go camping or to a hot spring during the spring break.

Higashino Kanade wants to go on a hot spring trip with the girls, to see the scenery, eat delicious food, soak in the hot springs, and then, well, this is not very civilized, but it should be fine if the hot spring is cleaned with superpowers. Even if the entire hot spring turns milky white, it can be cleaned with superpowers.

But he doesn't have time. The animation is still on the air, and he still has to draw the original pictures. It will be summer vacation. He won't have to be a original artist during summer vacation. Then... uh, hot springs don't seem suitable. Then go to the beach, or go back to the country for a trip?

We’ll see how the situation develops.

Higashino Kanade thought about it and decided to leave the summer vacation for later. Now he should just focus on drawing. Because of the popularity of the anime "False Hero", Bad Ringo became more and more famous, and he had more and more fans.

After the animation of "False Hero" was broadcast on Bilibili, he also used the cartoonist account "Bad Ringo" to take advantage of the popularity and increase the number of followers for his cartoonist account. He has many accounts on various platforms, including Bad Ringo for cartoonists, "Book Demon" for book painters, Bad Apple for bands, and also the animation submission account for "Gee Kawa".

He has a lot of accounts, but if you are a true fan, you will know that these accounts belong to him alone. Even the account Bad Apple has his name on it, and the three big words "Bad Ringo" are written on the list of production staff at the end of the video.

By the way, the Bad Apple account has not released any new songs since it released the song "Dancing Girl". All it released were animations of "Gee Kawa". Kikuri is quite free now, the band has been formed, and everyone's skills have become better. Should he write a new song?

Oh, by the way, the unconfirmed Riot2017 that the band will participate in has three parts, namely Demo review, online voting and Live review. Inviting them or inviting Yili and Hongxia to release a song together will be beneficial to their online voting part.

After all, Bad Apple is an online band, so it's unreasonable for them to only release one song. Anyway, everyone is relatively free now, so it's good to release a new song. When the online voting comes, maybe we can submit our song and get the first place in the vote.

But what song should I copy?

Higashino Kanade rubbed his head. He had not listened to many rock songs, and even fewer Japanese rock songs. Besides, could some of the songs be considered rock?

Well, if writing a song like "The Old Man and the Sea" doesn't trigger Ichiri's youthful inferiority complex.
