Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Chapter 134 The finals of that year was between SIDEROS and The End

Try your best and leave no regrets.

This is just a word to comfort myself.

If you try your best but don't get the result you want, you will always feel regretful.

Although failure is always present in life, and this is life, no one really accepts failure.

Ending the band failed.

The good news is that they made it to the finals, the bad news is that they lost to the SIDEROS band and got the runner-up.

It is said that no one will remember the second place, except Yue Lun, but the Ending Band is proud enough to get the runner-up on a stage like the Unconfirmed Riot2017.

The weather in June is slightly hot.

Standing under the stage, Higashino Kanade looked up at the shining girl on the stage and applauded enthusiastically.

After all, it's still a little bit short. Compared with the SIDEROS band which was formed earlier, the End band which was formed not long ago is still a little bit short.

"That year's final was between SIDEROS and Ending. In the end, Ending lost the championship. At that time, I saw Yili sitting on a chair and crying. I will never forget this scene."

"?"

A big question mark appeared on the head of Nishimiya Naoko, who was standing next to Higashino Kanade.

What is Xiaozou talking about? There are no chairs on the stage, no one is sitting there in dejected posture, and no one is crying, right?

"Glass, stay away from him. He's talking nonsense again. Let's pretend we don't know him."

Izumi Konata held Nishimiya Naoko's hand and asked them to keep a distance from Tono Kanade.

How can someone suffer from chuunibyou in broad daylight? You're in high school now, not junior high school. It's time to say goodbye to chuunibyou.

"Oh, woman."

Higashino Kanade shook his head and sighed in disappointment. It was really sad that no one responded to his meme.

But it’s true that no one could pick up on the meme, after all, this meme came out in 2020. Having said that, some memes appeared earlier, so this meme might also appear earlier.

"Heh, man."

When Quan Cifang saw Dongye Zou's sneer, she also responded with ridicule.

"Alright, you two." Nishimiya Glass saw that Tono Kanade and Izumi were about to start a quarrel and quickly put an end to it. She said gently, "Let's go congratulate Yuyuko and Ichiri and hold a celebration party."

Nishimiya Naoko didn't want to listen to the young couple quarreling. They said it was a quarrel, but in fact they were just showing their affection. Even she would be fed dog food whenever they quarreled.

She doesn't want to eat Xiaozou and Cifang's dog food.

"Well, let's go congratulate them and hold a celebration party. I'll ask Xingge which restaurant she booked. Let's all take a taxi. Today's expenses will be paid by me, Master Dongye."

Higashino Kanade said this proudly.

Both of Fanxing's bands made it to the finals, one won the championship and the other won the Asian Games. Not to mention that he already has money, even if he doesn't have money, he can earn much more money than today's celebration party by relying on the popularity marketing of these two bands.

The celebration party was held at a barbecue restaurant where the Stars band often holds celebration parties.

The place is not big, the price is cheap, and the food is delicious. It is not impossible to hold a celebration party in some luxurious hotels, but compared with those hotels and restaurants that I have never been to, this small shop that I often visit is still more pleasing and reassuring.

Because there were so many people, we sat at four tables separated by an aisle.

On the left side of the aisle, the two bands each have a table, on the right side of the aisle, Izumi Konata, Higashino Kanade, Higashino Suzu, Nishimiya Shoko, and Nishimiya Yuzuru have a table, and the adult group of PA Miss, Hiroi Kikuri, and Ijichi Hoshika has a table.

It is impossible for so many people to eat barbecue together, otherwise the person in charge of the barbecue will be exhausted to death. And if you are humble, don't even think about eating any of the meat in the first thirty minutes after it's grilled.

Each table has someone who is responsible for grilling the meat. Originally, this kind of thing should be done in turns, but some people are just busy eating, while some are simply lazy, so those who are a little more diligent and can eat a little become the ones who grill the meat.

The ending band was Hong Xia, the SIDEROS band was Youyouzi, and the Higashino Kanade was him. As for the adults' table, whoever wanted to eat could grill their own food, but after three glasses of wine, the grilled meat was not touched.

"Tsk, Mr. Drunkard."

Higashino Kanade complained and grabbed Higashino Ling's chopsticks with a pair of tongs. He looked at Higashino Ling and said, "It's not ready yet. Why are you in such a hurry? This is pork, not beef. Do you want to go home and be a Splatoon if you eat it half-cooked?"

"Xiaozou, can you please stop talking about Splatoon? How can I look directly at Splatoon in the future?"

Izumi Konata looked up and stared at Tono Kanade with a helpless expression.

She really likes playing Splatoon, but Xiaozou always likes to compare people's uncontrollable angry behavior to Splatoon, which makes her uncomfortable.

"Just don't look directly at it."

Higashino Kanade smiled.

"How do you see? Squint? That's how I'll look at you from now on."

As Izumi Konata said this, he turned his head and looked at Higashino Kanade with a sidelong glance.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When Nishimiya Yuzuru saw this scene, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but the next second he was choked by the flesh in his throat.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly."

Higashino Suzu patted Nishimiya Yuzuru on the back, but his right hand kept sweeping the meat on the table, dipping it in the sauce and putting it into his mouth.

When she said "slowly", she meant to let Yuzuru eat slowly. If Yuzuru eats slowly, she can eat more.

The grilling speed was too slow and could not keep up with her eating speed. If everyone ate slowly and she ate quickly, she would be able to enjoy the meal.

"You just want me to eat slower!"

Although Nishimiya Yuzuru was already used to the starving look of Tonno Suzu, he still found it hard to hold back when he saw that the chopsticks she used to pick up meat left afterimages.

Being accustomed to something doesn't mean accepting it.

"No way."

What Tono Ling said, with her mouth full of grease, was not convincing at all.

"Xiao Ling, wipe your mouth."

Nishimiya Glass handed over a piece of paper.

"Uh-huh."

Higashino Ling nodded, took the tissue, wiped the food casually, and started to eat right away.

"Eat slowly, aren't you afraid of getting esophageal cancer?"

Higashino Kanade was very worried that Xiaoling would stuff the meat into her mouth regardless of the fact that it was still hot. If Xiaoling got sick, he would have to devote all his energy to developing the ability to use super powers to heal people.

So far, he has not figured out how to use his super powers to heal other people's injuries. If he could, he could heal Nozomi's ears. Nozomi's speech problem doesn't need to be treated. She speaks more clearly now. As long as she speaks slowly and not too fast, others can basically understand her.

"I'm not afraid. If one of me falls, there are still thousands of me. Moreover, I can become a ghost, a starving ghost. I eat, eat, eat everywhere!"

Dong Ye Ling shook her head. She was not afraid of death. Anyway, there was a ghost at this time, so she would die if she died.

"After you die, you can only eat cold offerings. And someone will fly to your grave and steal your offerings."

"Who is so rude?"

"Xiao Xian."

Quan Cifang interrupted out of the blue.

"what?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru looked at Izumi Konata with an expression that said "Are you polite?"

Chapter 135 Oh ha, Senbei!

Night, studio.

Higashino Kanade was home alone.

The Riot 2017 finals have not been confirmed to be over, Goto Ichiri went home, and his cohabitation life with Ichiri ended. After getting drunk, Kikuri went to bother Hongxia and Xingge.

Konata, Korin, Naoko, and Yuzuru all went home, so tonight he was going to enjoy a nightlife all by himself, which was not great, but not bad either.

June is here, and July is not far away, and when July is here, the summer vacation in August is closer.

He was going to take a motorcycle license test during the summer vacation. He was planning to take it during the Golden Week, but he delayed it for some reasons and finally didn't take the test. Although he didn't take the test, he could study the motorcycle he wanted to buy.

He bought the motorcycle just as a means of transportation so that he could go on dates with girls. If bicycles could carry people, he would not have thought of buying a motorcycle. The comparison of "NM (inevitable)" left him with some trauma, and he was even more traumatized when he heard some people say that there were only a few motorcycle bloggers left among the ones they followed a year ago.

Even though he has super powers, what if he gets mentally exhausted and doesn't have time to react and use his powers?

Having said that, if you pay attention to safety, have the right equipment, and stay focused while driving without getting tired, there shouldn't be any problem.

Well, he would rather drive a car than a motorcycle, but unfortunately he is not old enough to get a driver's license. If he had a driver's license, he could buy a fun car that can be used for camping, not to mention a sports car.

After staying at home for a long time, one can't help but yearn for poetry and distant places. He is not very interested in poetry, but he is very interested in distant places when he has free time.

"A night alone..."

Higashino Kanade leaned back in his chair, turning his paintbrush, somewhat reluctant to paint.

Today was a bit tiring. First, he watched the performances of the Ending Band and the SIDEROS Band under the hot sun, and then he attended the celebration party. Although there were not many things to do, these two things consumed his energy. It was definitely not because of the many things that Konoha and Nitroko did that he came to the studio to play last night.

Absolutely not!

Just when he was thinking about whether to take a bath or play games, a message popped up on his phone and helped him make a choice.

Quan Cifang: [On the number! ]

Higashino Kanade: [? ]

Izumi Konata: [Not much to say]

Izumi Konata: [Final Fantasy 14, start! ]

Higashino Kanade: [Ten minutes]

Higashino Kanade thought about it and agreed to play a game with Izumi Konata.

Anyway, he doesn't want to paint anymore, and he's free anyway, so he might as well play games with Ci Fang.

See if there is anyone in the game who is trying to flirt with this party or have bad intentions towards this party. Although this party is playing a male character, the voice will reveal that she is a female after turning on the microphone. And even if she doesn't make any sound, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be any seductive gay who will flirt with this party.

Many people play online games not to play games, but to socialize. This is still a high EQ statement. A low EQ statement is that they are here to find a partner or a sex partner.

Higashino Kanade definitely doesn't want his...girlfriend to have an affair with other men. As for himself, well, human nature is double standards, he can only try his best not to have an affair with women outside the harem. Not having an affair with other women, like Naoko, Ichiri, Nijika, and Kikuri, is already impossible.

"We agreed in advance that I have to go to bed at 12 o'clock at the latest."

Higashino Zou and Izumi Konata connected to the microphone, and as soon as they started speaking, they made it clear in advance that they couldn't stay up too late.

"Got it, twelve o'clock."

There was a smile in Izumi Konata's tone, and it was obvious that the twelve points she mentioned were not the same as the twelve points mentioned by Tono Kanade.

"Twelve o'clock in the evening. Twelve o'clock tonight. Twelve o'clock in the evening of May 2017, 5."

Dongye Zou understood the meaning of Quan Konaka's words and immediately made a patch and emphasized it, so as to prevent Konaka from cheating and making him play until tomorrow morning or even tomorrow night at twelve o'clock.

"Eh, boring."

Quan Cifang became discouraged when she saw that Dongye Zou was unwilling to stay up late with her.

"What are you talking about? Do you know what day it is today? It's Sunday! If you stay up late, you will be the one who is bored tomorrow! Why are you staying up late at such a young age? Staying up late is something only office workers do. Just get some sleep!"

Higashino Kanade was helpless about her childhood sweetheart who loved to stay up late. Konno might have a chance to grow taller, but it was probably because of staying up late that her growth stopped. If it hadn't stopped, we might have seen a big Konno instead of this small Konno who was almost average.

"No, I won't sleep until the moon does!"

Quan Cifang must have surfed the Internet too much, otherwise he wouldn't have said such unfortunate words.

"Do you want to get up when the sun rises?"

Higashino Kanade picked up the gag very naturally.

"Yeah!"

Quan Cifang agreed happily.

"What a great hammer!"

Higashino Kanade slammed the table, and the table's HP decreased to -1. If he and Konata were not in different places, he really wanted to use Misae's iron fist to let Konata know what cruelty is.

"Xiao Zou, don't be so irritable. Have you ever thought about the possibility that there will be no sun tomorrow? In that case, can't I get up?"

Although he couldn't see Izumi Konakata's face, Tono Kanade could imagine the fox smile on her face.

"You don't think there's no sun on a cloudy day, do you?"
