Is it okay not to want to work hard?

At 10:30 in the evening, in the study, Higashino Kanade was turning the pressure-sensitive pen on his digital tablet, thinking about what to draw.

After thinking it over, he decided to draw a pornographic picture.

Lu Xun, forget it, Gorky said: H is power, Ghs is the ladder of human progress, Ghs can't go far, but it goes fast.

He wants to be a real hero, not a hero who tells the names of books to friends in the group and bar, but a superhero who draws erotic pictures and books!

Book hero, here we go!

Chapter 81 Study and Comics

Book Demon.

Higashino Kanade's name on Pixiv.

Since Goto Ichiri is a guitar hero, he has to be a book devil. He originally wanted to be Madoka, Speaker Cricket or Speaker Cricket Man, but after thinking about it, he decided to give him a couple name with Pochi (confirmed).

Guitar Hero and Book Demon, what a matching CP name, just like Cat Nanbei and Dog Dongxi.

Tonight, Higashino Kanade had no intention of drawing a book. It was too troublesome to draw a book. He might as well draw a pornographic picture. If someone liked it, he would draw a book for this character.

When he was reading comics, he didn't like eating knives, but after drawing comics, he wanted to stuff knives into people's mouths. But it was different in the book. When he was reading the book, he liked Rape and Minotaur, but when he was drawing the book, he couldn't accept them and could only accept pure love.

As a reader of comics, he naturally doesn't want to cry, but as a cartoonist, he wants to see readers' tears.

The characters he read in the books were all other people's children, no matter if they were Rip, Minotaur, or scumbags and weaklings, he always brought them into the yellow-haired side. He drew the books himself, and the characters he drew were his own daughters. How could he draw these inhuman books? If he plagiarized other people's books, that would be another matter.

Sometimes the mood when I look at other people’s works is completely different from when I create my own works.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Higashino Kanade did not go to bed, but waited for his parents to come home.

It's time to say that he doesn't want to study. If he doesn't say it, he's really afraid that he will become a psychopath because of school and drawing comics and not having much time for entertainment. He wants to be a cartoonist, a happy cartoonist, not rushing to finish manuscripts at night, going to school during the day, sleeping all day, and sleeping at night. He wants to play with Konata and Naoko, wants to listen to Live House with Hongxia, and wants to have sex with Pochi in his dreams, but he has to squeeze in time.

"Why would any idiot want to be a cartoonist?"

Higashino Kanade seemed to be cursing, but in fact he was asking himself. Sure enough, it was because he liked comics and the stories in comics that he wanted to become a cartoonist who told stories with comics, not a simple little story, but a magnificent story that had both the purest nobility and the most despicable and inferior story.

"The False Hero" is such a story.

He was not sure whether this comic would be popular or not, after all, he could not control the readers' tastes and market trends. What he could do was to use novel themes, qualified characters, excellent drawing skills and storyboards to tell a story that he wanted to tell without too many problems.

Whether this story, which does not have any major problems, is an ordinary story, a good story, or a bad story, it is up to the readers to judge.

Different world, virtual reality, otherworldly game, super funny genre, some people may think such themes are cliché, but in 2011 and 2012, this theme was new.

The domestic game isekai genre started with "Sword of Amber" in 2010. Although Japan's "Sword Art Online" was serialized in 2002, this work only started to attract attention in 04 and was published by Kazuma Miki in 09, and it really started to shine. Moreover, this novel is an online game novel based on virtual reality technology, but the setting is like a game isekai.

But both "Amber Sword" and "Sword Art Online" are novels, not to mention that there is neither "Amber Sword" nor "Sword Art Online", and this world and the other world cannot be generalized. Writing a novel with this theme was novel in 2012, and Higashino Kanade moved this theme to comics. Not to say that no one else has done this, but very few cartoonists have done this, and there are really no comics on this theme in "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Higashino Kanade did not want to draw comics on a whim. He realized very early on that he would become a cartoonist after his painting skills improved. After market research and foresight on the future of parallel worlds, he decided to draw comics on the theme of games and other worlds. Then, after brainstorming and constant ideation, as well as reading fantasy novels and studying fantasy worldviews, he created this comic by referring to works from another world such as "Warhammer" and "The Lord of the Rings".

For this comic, he also read political and economic books, which he had rarely read before.

Cartoonists create comics to build a world, and the comics that readers see are just the tip of the iceberg of this world. They tell one or more stories, not all the stories in this world.

There is no doubt that "False Hero" is his most painstaking work. If he fails to complete this comic, he will definitely become a Magikarp without dreams, the kind that will not evolve even if Kojiro kicks him. In the future, he will not be a cartoonist anymore. He will either be an illustrator or a book artist, or copy light novels and online articles, and develop in both China and Japan, becoming an author like Tang San, Jiangnan, and Kawahara Reki, who is either a novice or likes to have a disorder.

If that didn't work, he could only cling to Konata, Naka, Pochi, and Nijigasaki and let them support him. Anyway, as long as he succeeded in conquering them, and as long as he didn't go too far, they would still not break up or divorce even if they were disappointed in him.

Koufang would probably urge him to find a job, and Nishiko and Hongxia would probably tolerate her like the gentle mother in the book who dotes on her child. As for Pochi, he was just a moth and dared not say anything. He might have a lot of thoughts in his mind and was struggling over whether to leave him, but if he was a little more aggressive, she would cry and apologize while taking money out of her wallet to give it to him.

The sound of the door opening made Dongye Kanade's heart tighten.

coming.

The rise and fall of the empire depends on this battle.

God bless our emperor, may he always be victorious and be showered with glory.

Higashino Kanade knew that the two sentences were unrelated. One was about Japan gambling on its national destiny and turning into a dog, and the other was the British national anthem. However, he was so nervous that his mind was in a mess.

"Dad, mom."

Higashino Kanade walked out of the study. No matter how old he was, he was always a child in front of his parents. Precisely because he was a child, no matter how old he was, he would still feel like a son in front of his parents, a son in every sense of the word.

"Not sleeping yet."

After returning home, Ye Shu, who had just been happily chatting with her husband about something, frowned immediately when she saw that Dong Ye Zou was not asleep.

"I have something to tell Mom and Dad."

Higashino Kanade's eyes were wandering. He wasn't this nervous even during his college graduation thesis defense.

"What's the matter? No money?"

Ye Shu walked to the sofa and sat down. After a tiring day, he took a break before washing up.

"What do you want to buy?" Dongye Hong put his hand on Dongye Kanade's shoulder and said with a smile, "As long as it's not expensive, Dad will buy it for you. Don't buy that action figure of yours. You can't play with it. It's expensive just to put it there for fun."

Higashino Kanade looked at his smiling father, hesitated for a moment, and then he said something that made his father not laugh.

"I don't want to go to school."

Chapter 82: Once you give up your dream, it's the same as being dead

I don’t want to go to school anymore.

It’s not that Higashino Kanade doesn’t want to go to school at all, he just doesn’t want to go to an elementary school that is basically useless to him.

Drawing comics is a hard and boring job, which requires a lot of time and inspiration.

If he could persist in going to school and drawing comics at the same time, then he really wouldn't have the time to squeeze out time to study, go out, see the world with his own eyes, and look for inspiration outside of campus life.

The Internet is a good place to find inspiration, but it cannot be limited to the online world. You must see and feel it in the real world. If you only see the local customs and culture of a place through the screen on the computer, you will lack the sense of immersion that you cannot experience in reality.

Just like Live House, he felt that way when he watched "Lonely Rock". Because of the stereotype, it felt like a bar he had never been to, so he was a little disgusted. But when he actually went there, he found that Live House was different from what he imagined, and watching the band's performance up close made him like it a little bit.

Even though the world is so big, if he doesn't go out to look for inspiration, he will still read books, all kinds of books from ancient and modern times, from China and abroad, to learn.

Not only should you read books, but you should also watch comics, animations, and play games, so that you have enough materials, inspiration, and knowledge to use when drawing comics, so as to avoid problems that readers criticize, and you not only cannot explain them but may even not know how to patch them.

In fact, Higashino Kanade didn't want to drop out of school. What he wanted was to take a leave of absence and skip a grade. That is, he would take a leave of absence from school, skip to junior high school after graduating from elementary school, and then see if he could take a leave of absence from junior high school, and then skip to high school after graduating from junior high school.

If his thinking had not slipped during those four years and he had worked hard and strived hard, with a bit of luck his comics might have been adapted into an animation and he might have become a popular cartoonist. At that time, he could have taken a break from high school or even slacked off by working on a monthly magazine.

He wanted to experience the wonderful life in high school. After all, the rooftop, the health room, the sports warehouse, the toilet, the empty club room, the empty classroom after school... these were all classic Gal Game battle locations. Although he didn't play Gal Game much, he wanted to experience the feeling of fighting in these places in reality.

However, it is not difficult to take a leave of absence from school, but it would be a little troublesome for him to skip a grade. However, he does not think there is any problem with skipping from elementary school to high school. At most, there would be some problems if he skips from junior high school to high school in the future.

It's simple. He has forgotten all the knowledge he learned in middle school. Besides, there are differences between what is taught in Japanese and Chinese middle schools. If he wants to skip a grade, he will have to study hard.

There was no need for him to skip a grade before. Firstly, it would be too conspicuous for him to go to junior high school or high school when he was in elementary school. Secondly, Jifang was in the same school and class with him for several semesters, so why should he skip a grade and go to high school?

It would be fine if he could meet Yuuki Asuna, Yukinoshita Yukino, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and Sakurajima Mai, but what if he couldn't? Wouldn't he just spend his high school life alone? You don't think high school students would want to play with elementary school students, right? Not to mention the problematic youth love comedy, even making friends would be difficult.

It would be better to go to elementary school with this guy than to skip to junior high or high school.

Higashino Kanade's ideal was to take a leave of absence and skip a grade, but he finally decided to drop out. It would be best if he could drop out, so he could go back to school and continue his studies after the comic was officially suspended. But it didn't matter if he couldn't drop out. The Chinese character is one of compromise. He said his parents would definitely not allow him to take a leave of absence or skip a grade, but if he wanted to drop out, then taking a leave of absence or skipping a grade would be something he could consider.

As for Naoko and Konata at school, he didn't go to school but it didn't mean he couldn't see them. It was more like he had more leisure time, so he could spend a lot of time playing with them. Even if they were in school, he could still go to school. Not only could he go to their school, but he could also go to Hongxia and Pochi's school.

Give the shy little one a little fantasy shock.

But before that, he has to get through the current difficulties.

After Dongye Zou said "I don't want to go to school anymore", both Ye Shu and Dongye Hong looked unhappy.

This is a very normal thing. All of my family members have received nine years of compulsory education and know the importance of studying. Besides, what else can a primary school student do if he doesn't study at this age? Be a child laborer? You must be kidding.

The problem is that elementary school students have nothing to do if they don't study, but Higashino Kanade, an elementary school student, has something to do even though he doesn't study, and it's something he likes and can make money from.

It’s not quite accurate to say that he doesn’t read. Higashino Kanade doesn’t go to school, but he still reads books, but the books he reads are no longer what is taught in school.

It's not nice to say this, but most people go to school not because they have any dreams, but because they don't know what to do if they don't go to school. They go to school for academic qualifications, academic qualifications are for work, work is for making money, and making money is for a better life.

Higashino Kanade became a cartoonist, and his comics will be serialized in "Akamaru Jump" which will be released at the end of April. He can make money. Since academic qualifications are the stepping stone to a job, why can't he give up his academic qualifications and draw comics?

"no!"

Ye Shu refused almost subconsciously.

"why?"

Higashino Kanade's face fell. He had expected his family to reject him outright, but he still felt distressed when he actually heard it.

"No reason." Ye Shu looked at Dong Ye Zou with a bad face, "You are so young, how can you not read books and draw comics? How can you draw good comics if you don't read books? Drawing comics, like writing novels, requires cultural knowledge. How can you get knowledge and culture if you don't go to school?"

At this time, Dongye Hong did not join in the discussion. He just patted Dongye Zuo's shoulder and said dully, "Sit down first and say everything you want to say."

"Ah."

Dongye Zou nodded softly and sat upright on the sofa.

If he could, he definitely didn't want to drop out of school. He would be so happy to be with Nitro and this recipe at school, but he couldn't stand it anymore. He slept during the day and woke up at night. His life was either comics or school. He could squeeze out a little time for playing. If he wanted to squeeze in more time for studying, he would have to sacrifice sleep, and that meant sacrificing the sleep he had during the day at school.

I didn't attend classes or catch up on sleep. Instead, I forced myself to read books, comics, or various materials to learn despite feeling sleepy.

He was afraid that if he didn't become a liver-burner, he would end up in the hospital like Majo Toutou in "Dream Eater". If he was unlucky, he might end up in the same situation as his uncle Majo Toutou.

Higashino Kanade knew that his mother was angry, but sometimes he still had to do what he wanted to do, even if it meant disobeying his parents. It's not that you can't learn anything in an ivory tower, but what you learn in an ivory tower is often outdated.

He had clearly learned it once in China, so why did he have to travel through time and space to completely relive the life he had already experienced?

“I want to draw comics.”

Higashino Kanade refused to change his mind. He wanted to draw comics and he wanted to drop out of school or take a leave of absence.

--------------------------------------------

PS: Daily life novels do not necessarily mean campus life, but many daily life is campus life. Real campus life is often boring and dull. When recalling it, what moved and liked me was not the school, but the classmates and teachers I liked. Higashino Kanade not studying now does not mean that she will not study in the future, nor does it mean that she cannot go to school. Moreover, the focus of campus life is not the campus, but the love comedy. How many people in the animation want to study hard and go to college? Only a few works are based on studying and going to college.

Chapter 83: Unlucky Number One Scholar

ended.

It is still Mr. Lu Xun's famous saying.

The Chinese are always willing to compromise. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and you need to open a window, they will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will compromise and be willing to open the window.

Higashino Kanade wanted to drop out of school, but his mother didn't agree. He argued fiercely with his mother and refused to give in even when threatened with beatings. Then he suddenly said he wanted to take a leave of absence and skip a grade, and his mother thought that the idea could still be discussed.

Higashino Kanade was not surprised that his mother opposed his dropping out of school and was against taking a leave of absence. He expressed his understanding. What surprised him was that his mother opposed it, but his father remained silent. The first sentence he said after a long silence was not opposition or persuasion, but affirmation and support for him.

"Let him take a break from school and try drawing comics."

Dong Yehong's voice was steady and serious.

It's a good thing to have dreams, which is better than living in a muddle without any dreams.

"What are you talking about? He is so young, why should he learn to draw cartoons? Haven't you learned "The Story of Zhongyong"?"

Ye Shu frowned. She would never let her son drop out of school. She was unwilling to let him take a break. To be honest, she was even considering whether to let her son draw comics. He didn't want to go to school just to draw comics. He was just daydreaming.

"Don't worry, listen to me." Dong Yehong explained patiently, "Let him take a year off from school first. If he falls behind in elementary school, he can still catch up, but it's hard to say about junior high school and high school. It's a good thing to have dreams, but studying is not the only way to have a future."

Dong Yehong does not think that studying is useless, but he also does not think that going to school is omnipotent.

If going to school were all-powerful, there wouldn't be so many college students unable to find jobs. Even if they do find jobs, they are treated like rags by their bosses, who use them whenever they please and throw them away whenever they please.

How many college students are the pride of their families, but when they enter society they are scolded like dogs by others.

To be honest, if Xiaozou was not too young, he would definitely support him to draw comics without reservation. What could be better than pursuing one's own dream? His and his wife's dream was not to open a restaurant in Ikebukuro at the beginning. He wanted to be a righteous lawyer, but unfortunately his poor family had no money to support him to go to college. His wife's dream, as he remembered correctly when they were in love, was to open a flower shop.

Unfortunately, the flower shop is not profitable and cannot be opened.

Dad!

When Higashino Kanade heard this, his eyes burned. As expected, men understand men.

Whether it is another world or this world, his father will support his decision.

This is the case in this world and in the previous world as well.

I still remember that after graduation, I had difficulties in finding a job. I finally found a job to make a living but it was not going well for me. Finally, I returned to my hometown in despair and stayed at home. It was my father who came to comfort me and told me, "I tried my best to teach you to be an upright person who does not cause trouble to others. I didn't expect that the world you grew up in is not suitable for such people to survive."

After that, he cheered up and went back to work, never expecting that this farewell would be the last time they would meet again after traveling through time.

"Dong Yehong..."

Ye Shu wanted to say something, but when he looked at Dongye Hong and Dongye Zou, the father and son, he sighed helplessly.
