Is it okay not to want to work hard?

Shimokitazawa.

“It stinks.”

"Yeah, it stinks."

“It really stinks.”

At Shimokitazawa Station, three elementary school lolita girls were chatting about stinky topics. These three people were Izumi Konakata, Higashino Suzu, and Nishimiya Yuzuru who were going to the Live House.

Higashino Kanade was looking at Kitazawa's map to see whether they should go left or right.

Nishimiya Naoko stood quietly beside Tono Kanade, looking at Kitazawa's environment curiously.

"What are you talking about? Let's go."

Higashino Kanade is visiting Shimokitazawa for the first time. In his dream, he meets Goto Ichiri. In reality, he will not meet Beast Senior (sad). Although he likes to play the Beast Senior joke, he does not want to be choked for drinking the sleepy black tea. He wants to drink tea with Pochi in his dream and fill Pochi's teacup with red and blue flowers.

Well, it's with the future Big Pochi, not the current Little Pochi. It's okay to give Little Pochi tea with blue flowers, but it's too naive to give him tea with red flowers.

Trash, scumbag, and freshman have similarities, but they cannot be generalized. He can be a scumbag, a scumbag, but he still doesn't want to be a freshman. If one day he can't control himself and changes, then he will talk about it then.

In reality, Dongye Zou dared to guarantee that he would not become a virgin with a high probability, but he was hard to say about this in his dream.

Try your best to control it and don't let the desire overcome him.

On the way to the Live House, Izumi Konata, Higashino Suzu, and Nishimiya Yuzuru kept talking about stinky topics, and Nishimiya Shoko occasionally joined in.

Why do we have to talk about stinky topics? It's hard to understand.

Higashino Kanade walked in front and led the way, carefully observing passers-by and the surrounding environment. He was collecting painting materials and looking for inspiration for comics. He often stayed at home, and it was easy for him to lack inspiration. Even if there was a computer in the study and he could access the Internet, he would inevitably fall into an information cocoon under the big data.

On the Internet, he cares about things that he cares about and looks for things that interest him. Drawing comics is not just about what he is interested in, he wants readers to be interested in the comics he draws. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people. He can't make everyone like him and his comics, but he can try his best to make most readers of Weekly Shonen Jump like his comics.

As long as he can do this, he can become a popular cartoonist like Eiichiro Oda, Yoshihiro Togashi, and Masashi Kishimoto. Although he knows that this is difficult and he may not be able to do it in his lifetime, people must have dreams. Without dreams, there is no difference between him and salted fish.

Most importantly, he really doesn't want to see Japan's mainstream hot-blooded comics working hard in the early stages and returning to the theory of bloodline in the later stages.

Why is it so? Three words, a decisive question.

Well, to put it simply, there is a feudal remnant in the Tokyo Imperial Palace. If he doesn't become a magical girl like Mami, he should at least become Louis XVI who has improved the guillotine.

While searching for inspiration and daydreaming, Higashino Kanade and his group quickly arrived at the Live House they were going to.

Dongye Kanade didn't know whether he felt regretful or relieved for not meeting the Beast Forefather. He wanted to see the Beast Forefather, but he didn't want to see the Beast Forefather if there really was one in this world.

This Live House is located in the basement of a building just like Shinjuku FOLT, but Shinjuku FOLT is on the second underground floor while this Live House is on the first underground floor.

Buy the ticket first, then wait to enter.

Higashino Kanade never expected that there were only more than twenty guests in this live house, and they had to be called one by one. Is this the rigorous and delicate craftsmanship of the Japanese? It's so annoying.

“Tickets are so expensive.”

Looking at the ticket in her hand, Quan Cifang couldn't let it go for a long time. Two thousand yuan, this Live House in the dark basement was so expensive. She had no idea about rock music, and if Xiaozou hadn't mentioned "underground idols" to her, she would have had no idea about Live House either.

So underground idols and rock bands all hold concerts in places like this, which is different from voice actor concerts.

"It's normal to be expensive. There's a popular band here today."

A vital voice appeared. This voice was unfamiliar to Izumi Konata, Higashino Suzu, Nishimiya Yuzuru, and Nishimiya Naoko, but it was quite familiar to Higashino Kanade.

The person who was speaking was a girl about their age, with blonde hair, red eyes, and a side ponytail. She looked like a sunny and cheerful little girl.

"Hello, Tono-san!"

Ijichi Kouka's face was flushed with excitement, and she was very happy to see Tono Kanade here.

"Hello, Niji, Ijichi-san."

Higashino Kanade originally wanted to call out the name, but then he realized that calling out the name was too intimate and impolite, so he changed his words in time.

"Your friend?"

Ijichi Kouka blinked her beautiful big red eyes and looked at the four girls, Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konakata, with curiosity in her eyes.

"Well, my friends, Izumi Konata, Nishimiya Shoko, her sister Nishimiya Yuzuru, and this is my sister, Tono Suzu."

Tono Kanade briefly introduced Izumi Konata and the others to Ichichi Koka.

Sister and friend?

After listening to this, Ijichi Hongxia nodded. She had a question that she didn't know whether she should ask or not, which was that she didn't understand why all of Higashino Kanade's friends were girls.

Normally, children of this age play with boys and girls with girls. Even if there are boys and girls playing together, there will always be several boys and one girl or two girls, just like in cartoons. Why does Higashino Kanade do the opposite?

Ijichi Hikaruka, who is in the sixth grade of elementary school and will soon be in the first grade of junior high school, discovered the blind spot. However, she hesitated and did not ask this question. She knew that it was rude to ask such a question on the second time she met him. She did not want to make Higashino Kanade dislike her. She was not willing to take the risk of finding someone who disliked her even if she just asked a question.

The only one who can see her mother and hear her mother's words is Higashino. If she doesn't have a good relationship with Higashino, then she will no longer be able to talk to her mother.

Ijichi Kouka wants to have a good relationship with Touno Kanade. She wants to be friends with Touno Kanade, and be good friends. If possible, she selfishly wants to take the friendship to a step further.

In terms of face, she thinks Higashino is very cute and good-looking, and she is willing to date Higashino with the intention of getting married.

Ijichi Kouka stared at Higashino Kanade, and Higashino Kanade, not knowing what was going on, touched his face.

There's nothing on my face.

Even Higashino Kanade, who thinks he is the most handsome man in Ikebukuro, can't believe that Ijichi Kouka would want to date him. Although there are many selfish motives behind this relationship, Ijichi Kouka is indeed attracted by Higashino Kanade's appearance and thinks that dating Higashino Kanade is not a disadvantage.

Higashino Kanade actually has no idea about his own appearance.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 64 Like

Higashino Kanade is very good-looking, with black hair and green eyes, but he doesn't look like Oreki Houtarou.

In terms of appearance, he can easily win over girls of the same age, girls who are a little older than him, and girls who are much older than him by pretending to be cute. Plus with his superpowers, he can easily turn the world around him into a butter world.

There is no need for hypnosis or brainwashing. First, brainwashing is risky. If it is not done well, he is worried that he will harm others. Second, superpowers have side effects. He is afraid that if he fails to brainwash others, his own head will not be able to bear it and he will feel dizzy. It is enough to use simple suggestions that do not consume too much mental energy to strengthen others' liking for him and reduce others' dislike for him.

With a good-looking face and the superpower that can more or less enhance others' favor towards him and weaken others' dislike towards him, he can easily become the King of the Sea, either indulging in debauchery during the day or reveling every night.

It’s just that Higashino Kanade has no idea about his appearance, nor does he have much idea about his superpowers. The influence of various factors such as family education, personality, and moral values ​​ultimately made him, who could have been a native of the motherland, become a cricket and cannot even become a hero.

Higashino Kanade knows why Ichichi Kouka came to say hello. After all, he came here to find Ichichi Kouka and to cultivate feelings. He can't let Ryo destroy this family. He should be the old couple with Kouka. As for Ryo... well, can you give me grass (various meanings)?

Perhaps he is a romantic, born to like many people, always liking the forest, and not being infatuated with a single tree.

Ijichi Nikka is a yang corner, as are Izumi Konata and Higashino Suzu. The Nishimiya sisters, Shoko, are relatively introverted. Yuzuru is not introverted, but not extroverted either. He is more casual. In short, he is introverted with strangers, but he can communicate when necessary. He is extroverted with friends and acquaintances, but not particularly extroverted and will not be a crowd pleaser.

Three people in the corners of the drama, Yidi Zhihongxia, Quan Konfang and Dongye Ling quickly started chatting together. Yidi Zhihongxia and Quan Konfang talked most, while Dongye Ling just asked questions and talked about food.

That’s right, eat.

The live house sells drinks and snacks. Higashino Ling, who hasn't eaten for an hour, is going to starve to death if she doesn't eat something.

"It's to rob money."

Higashino Kanade touched his jacket pocket, and was saddened by the thin layer of money inside. Everyone had to pay for their own tickets to the Live House, but he paid for the snacks and drinks. After all, he invited everyone to listen to rock music and watch a concert, so he had to pay for the snacks and drinks.

"It's like this, everything here is expensive, the cheapest drink is 500 yen."

Ijichi Hongxia held the orange juice that Higashino Kanade offered her with both hands but did not drink it. It was not that she was polite, she had been polite just now. She did not drink it because she was not thirsty.

"It's better to bring your own drinks next time."

Higashino Kanade glanced at the two employees selling drinks and whispered quietly so as not to be heard by the other party.

The Live House in "Lonely Rock" is a beautiful store manager, a beautiful Pa, and a beautiful girl working as a clerk. The Live House in reality is uncles, uncles and young men who are about to become uncles and are called uncles by children.

It's like this, in the world of Houbunsha, no matter what profession, there are many cute girls. In reality, they are cute (probably?) men. They cannot be called boys, they can only be men, men and a few women.

It's the same with camping, fishing, and playing games.

It’s not that there are no women, it’s just that compared to men, there are indeed fewer women, very fewer.

While the two were chatting, the warm-up band came on stage.

Higashino Kanade opened his Yin-Yang eyes and started chatting with Mrs. Ijichi, who had always been by Ijichi Kouka's side, and then relayed some words to Ijichi Kouka.

Although Naoko and Yuzuru were looking at the people on the stage and listening to the music at this time, his communication with Ijichi Kouka was like an underground party exchanging information, talking in low voices in the noisy atmosphere.

In order to hear clearly, Tono Kanade and Ijichi Kouka leaned very close to each other, very close. They could almost smell each other's hair and hear each other's breathing.

Quan Chifang was not angry when he saw the two of them hugging each other (physics).

Before coming, she knew that Xiaozou came to Shimokitazawa not just for the purpose of listening to rock music. Xiaozou had told her about his exorcism and the Ichichi sisters he knew. She knew that when Xiaozou saw Ichichi Hongxia, he would act as a messenger to help Mrs. Ichichi, who had turned into a ghost, communicate with her daughter Ichichi Hongxia and Ichichi Hoshika.

She was very envious. She envied that Mrs. Ichichi, the mother of Ichichi Hongxia, had not yet attained Buddhahood in her soul, but was staying with her daughter in the real world. Her mother had attained Buddhahood long ago and had left her long ago. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her mother becoming a Buddha, but she couldn't help but envy her mother for accompanying her daughter like Mrs. Ichichi did.

Izumi Konakata felt a little sad as she recalled the vague person in her memory, but fortunately she was an optimistic person and she adjusted herself in less than a minute. She came close to Nishimiya Naoko and asked with concern: "Noko, can you hear me clearly?"

Nishimiya Glass looked at Izumi Konata, nodded, and shook her head. Because it was noisy here and sign language could not be absolutely matched with written language and could not be used as a language in the full sense, Nishimiya Glass did not speak in such an environment, nor did she use sign language to communicate with Izumi Konata. Instead, she wrote directly in the small notebook she carried with her.

[I can't hear the lyrics clearly, but I can hear everything else]

Although it is relatively weak, Nishimiya Glass can hear the melody of the music and feel the power of rock and roll. The only flaw is that she can hear the lyrics but not make them clear.

"Is this so..."

【fine】

[The music is nice]

Izumi Konata felt it was a pity, but Nishimiya Naoko was satisfied. It was a bit of a pity that she couldn't hear the lyrics clearly, but she could listen to the beautiful music and feel the beauty of the music, which was enough for her.

It was her first time at a Live House, there weren’t many audience members, and the stage had just been warmed up, but she felt the enthusiasm of both the band and the audience, the music, the lively scene, and her friends’ concern for her.

This feeling is enough, really enough and good enough.

Live House, it seems like she came to the right place.

only……

Nishimiya Glass looked at Tono Kanade and Ichichi Kouka, then looked at Izumi Konata.

She didn't know whether Cifang saw them or not, and she didn't know whether she should remind him if he didn't see them.

After hesitating for a long time, Nishimiya Shoko decided to remind Izumi Konata. She pointed her right index finger at Tono Kanade and Ijichi Kouka, signaling her to look at them.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Izumi Konata looked in the direction Nishimiya Naoko pointed and saw Tono Kanade, Ijichi Kouka and the guests who were playing with their phones or enjoying music.

"He's cute."

Nishimiya Glass used sign language.

"They?" Izumi Konata pointed at Tono Kanade and Ichichi Kouka and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Nishimiya Naoko opened her mouth, trying to muster up the courage to ask, but in the end she lowered her head in dejection.

"Don't you like Xiaozou?"

This was what she wanted to ask, but for some reason, she didn't have the courage to ask.

Chapter 65 The World's No. Drummer

Dessert shop.

Ichichi Xingge ate the cake in a melancholy mood.

Why are there so many little ghosts?

When she first met Izumi Konata, Higashino Suzu, Nishimiya Shoko, and Nishimiya Yuzuru, she was very happy because they were invited by Higashino Kanade to listen to her band's concert. After treating the four children to dessert, her mood became unhappy.

She found out what her mother said after the performance in the Live House. Several girls were listening to the song, and she listened to Higashino Kanade talking about what her mother wanted to say to her and what she wanted to say to her father. She didn't know what her mother said to Hongxia. Although she was interested in finding out, she wouldn't ask if Hongxia didn't take the initiative to tell her.

What a hassle.

Thinking of her mother who had always been by her side, Ichichi Hoshige felt a little distressed.

She always felt that her mother, who had turned into a ghost, was by her side all the time. She knew that her mother would not spy on her all the time, and she should be with Hongxia most of the time. But she was doing some private things in her room that she didn't want others to know, such as reading some strange books, watching strange videos, or doing strange things. She didn't know when her mother came in, and she didn't stop. It was too embarrassing.

If my mother still told Higashino Kanade these things, seemingly admonishing her but actually making fun of her, then she really wanted to die. Judging from my mother's personality and the last conversation, this is not impossible, but rather a very likely thing to happen.

She is an adult, an adult in her twenties. She has her own privacy and she wants her own personal space. The things she doesn't want her mother to know are not necessarily related to H. She also doesn't want others to know her own weaknesses, her darkness, and various other things, not even her mother and Hongxia.

I don’t know if my mother will listen to me and spend more time with Hongxia and less time with her, and not go into her room after the door is closed.

Ijichi Seika looked at Tono Kanade and Ijichi Seika, then turned around to look at the four little girls, Izumi Konata, Tono Suzu, Nishimiya Shoko, and Nishimiya Yuzuru, who were sitting at the table behind her.
