Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"Go ask your sister."

Ichichi Hongxia did not give up. She got up from the bed and went to look for her sister Ichichi Xingge.

My sister is a college student, so she should be able to understand Xiaozou’s comics. If my sister can’t understand them either, then she can only tell Xiaozou that she didn’t understand, and hope that Xiaozou doesn’t dislike her because she can’t understand the comics.

"Sister, sister, sister...ah, sleeping again."

On the sofa, Ichichi Xingge buried her head in the pillow, like a cat curled up with her back to the TV.

Fell asleep watching TV again.

Seeing Ichichi Hoshige sleeping soundly, Ichichi Hongxia sighed.

Is her sister too lazy? She sleeps in the morning, at noon, and in the afternoon. She doesn't go to work or school. It's not even May yet, so why does she look like she has May syndrome?

"You'll catch a cold. I told you to cover yourself with a blanket when you sleep, but you're lazy and don't want to get it."

Ichichi Hongxia complained and went to the room to find a blanket to cover Ichichi Xingge.

At such a young age, she cares a lot about the family. She cooks the meals and does the housework. Even washing clothes and drying quilts has gradually become her job instead of her sister's.

I always feel that if this continues she will become an omnipotent housewife, and her sister will become a lazy and useless person who is good at nothing.

"Ugh……"

Life is not easy, Ichichi Hongxia sighed.

"Mom, I wish we could hear you when you speak. Tell me about your sister."

Ichichi Hongxia communicates unilaterally with her mother, whom she cannot see, touch, or hear.

As she said this, she found the remote control and turned off the TV.

Immediately, Ichichi Hoshige, who had just been sleeping, woke up.

"Um, Hongxia, why did you turn off the TV?" Ichichi Xingge opened his eyes, looked back, and said to Ichichi Hongxia who was standing in front of the sofa, "I'm still watching."

"..."

Ichichi Hongxia doesn't know how to swear, but she does get angry.

A person sits facing the sofa, with his back to the TV, sleeping motionlessly with his eyes closed, and can actually say that he is watching TV.

"Sister, you are watching TV in your dream, right?" Ichichi Hongxia gently pressed her body against Ichichi Xingge. She put the comic in front of her sister's face and said, "Help me look at this, I don't understand it."

"What's the problem? Math problems...ah, comics?"

Because she was too close, Ijichi Hoshige couldn't tell what it was at first. It was only after she held it a little further away that she realized that it was a comic book.

Is her sister a fool? She can't even understand comics.

Ijichi Hoshige had a subtle expression, and looked at Ijichi Hongxia with somewhat sad eyes.

"stare……"

After standing up and no longer feeling overwhelmed, Ijichi Hongxia's eyes turned into a cat's. Although she didn't know what her sister was thinking, it seemed from the way her sister looked that she was saying that she was stupid in her heart.

"Fake hero, bad Ringo, is this a comic by Higashino-kun?"

Ijichi Hoshika looked at the name of the comic and the name of the cartoonist. She had known that Higashino Kanade's comic was serialized in "Akamaru Jump" from Hongxia, who was chatting on the phone for a long time, but knowing it was different from actually seeing it.

The most important thing was that when she saw the vertical line of words on the left margin of the comic: [11-year-old genius cartoonist], she felt as if she had not woken up and was still in a dream.

11 years old. If she was 15, she could understand it. But 11 years old, this age is too unreal.

"Yes, it's from Xiaozou." Ichichi Hongxia nodded heavily, "There are some words in it that I don't understand. It seems to have English."

"Xiaozou..."

Ichichi Xingge smiled as she read this name.

"What's wrong?"

I don't know why, although I have no problem with calling him that, Ichichi Hongxia felt embarrassed when her sister said that. She used to call him Higashino-kun, but later they often talked on the phone, and gradually changed their names. She changed her name for Higashino-kun, and Higashino-kun also changed his name for her.

"Xiaozou."

Ichichi Hoshige laughed even more happily.

"You're so annoying, read the comics."

Being teased by her sister like this, Yidi Chi Hongxia was annoyed and pressed on her sister again, and this time she was not polite.

"It's so heavy, get off quickly."

Ichichi Xingge's smile suddenly stopped as her stomach was suddenly pressed.

"No."

Yidizhi Xingge refused. If her sister bullied her, she would bully back.

"I'll watch it if you go down, otherwise I won't watch it."

Yidizhi Xingge pushed Yidizhi Hongxia, and after saying this, Hongxia obediently got off her.

"Let me see, the fake hero, Chapter 1, the hero who can't draw his sword."

Reading the contents of the comic, Ichichi Hoshika read the comic carefully. She rarely read comics, and when she had time, she preferred to play the guitar. It didn't take too long to finish reading three chapters of the comic, even if she read it carefully.

"I know why you can't understand it. I don't understand it either."

Ijichi Hoshika was a little confused after reading it. Why? She didn't know much about the two-dimensional world. In her daily life, she was only concerned about music. She knew what the NPCs and Bosses in the game meant, but she didn't quite understand VR and virtual reality. Even though the comics had explanations, she still couldn't quite understand it.

It’s not that she is a fool, it’s just that some things are far away from her life. She doesn’t care about them and naturally won’t understand them. It is normal for her not to understand them for a while when you suddenly tell her these words.

"Sister, weren't you a college student before?"

There was a hint of contempt in Ichichi Hongxia's cat eyes.

Is this a college student? How come he can’t understand it like a primary school student?

"First of all, being a college student doesn't mean you are knowledgeable. Secondly, I've graduated and I'm no longer a college student. I've given back all the knowledge I learned in school to my teachers. And what I learned doesn't tell me what these things in the comics are about."

Ijichi Xingge closed the comic book. The content of the comic book was actually very simple. She could understand it. There were a few words whose meanings she roughly understood. But her understanding did not mean that she could speak it out and explain it to Hongxia.

"Check it on Wiki."

Yidizhi Xingge felt for her cell phone but didn't find it, so she felt in the crack of the sofa and found it.

"Sister, you are so useless."

Ijichi Hongxia didn't expect that her sister was so useless. She was an elementary school student, so it was understandable that she couldn't read comics. But her sister was a working person and couldn't understand comics, so she was like a fool.

"What did you say?"

Ichichi Hoshige pretended not to hear.

"Good...ah." Yijizhi Hongxia emphasized. After being punched on the head, she ran away angrily and retaliated, "Useless, useless sister, sister who can't find a boyfriend, sister who can't get married, sister who is unwanted by everyone..."

Feeling hurt, Ichichi Xingge quickly got off the sofa and chased after her unlucky sister.

"Don't run."

"do not want!"

Chapter 100 I Really Want to Be Miss ××’s Dog

"Why would someone's pen name be Bad Ringo? Phew, that's hilarious."

"What's so funny? I don't understand what's so funny about you. Look at the Internet, some people even say 'I am a lesbian dog'."

During the Golden Week, Izumi Konata, who was particularly free, came to visit Higashino Souka as usual. Joining her were Nishimiya Shoko and Nishimiya Yuzuru.

The elder sister Nishimiya Shoko came here to learn painting and was drawing a sketch seriously, while the younger sister Nishimiya Yuzuru was watching a variety show in the living room with Higashino Suzu.

"Xiaozou, why don't you choose a name like this."

Izumi Konata was lying on the table with her face gradually becoming flat. She was sitting next to Higashino Kanade and was playing with an eraser out of boredom.

"Sure, I'll tell my editor that I want to change my pen name. Tomorrow my pen name will be 'I Really Want Miss Kotokata to Be My Dog'."

Higashino Kanade said something similar to S while smiling.

Hearing this, Quan Cifang was not angry. Instead, she smiled slyly and said, "Okay, okay. I'll call the editor right now."

"..."

This time Higashino Kanade won’t do it.

Some of the Sakura girls are really shrimp heads. How can they look like mice? If this pen name is used, it is definitely not Konata who will be socially dead, but him. Whether he uses "I feel like being Miss Konata's dog" or "I really want Miss Konata to be my dog", he will be socially dead.

Oops, I was fooled!

"Why are you silent, Mr. 'I really want Miss Kotokata to be my dog'?"

Quan Cifang tried hard to hold back her laughter when she said this, but when she said the second half of the sentence, she really couldn't help it and burst out laughing, "Hahahaha".

"Tsk."

Higashino Kanade curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Damn it, just wait, sooner or later he will do what he says, and he will have dog ears, dog tail, collar, and chain ready by then.

Cifang and Xiaozou are talking about weird things again.

Nishimiya Glass, who was drawing at another table, looked up at Izumi Konata and Higashino Kanade and then lowered her head. Although she had known Konata and Kanade for a long time, she still couldn't understand their conversation. Even if she heard every word, she just couldn't understand the meaning of the words combined.

If you don’t understand, then don’t understand. She is very open-minded. As long as she can be with Zifang and Xiaozou, she will be happy just by looking at them even if she doesn’t understand what they are saying.

Nishimiya Glass wanted to learn to paint not because she saw the graffiti drawn by Higashino Kanade on the textbook, but because she wanted to be with Higashino Kanade, so she became interested in painting. Originally, she had no interest in painting, but when she saw Higashino Kanade painting, she wanted to imitate him clumsily and wanted to stay with Higashino Kanade more.

Now...

Nishimiya Shoko took a pencil and measured the apple sketch she had drawn.

I definitely don't hate it.

The study became quiet because Tono Kanade often came to the study to paint, and gradually the study became his high school student's room. After Nishimiya Shoko came to learn painting almost every week, the study also served as a studio.

"so boring."

Izumi Konata was so bored that he couldn't help complaining.

"Playing games when you're bored."

Higashino Kanade was drawing comics and didn't want to pay much attention to Izumi Konata. He had been feeling a little nervous the whole day.

"Akamaru Jump" is similar to "Weekly Shonen Jump", and the results of the reader survey are divided into quick reports and small reports.

The quick report is a statistics of the first 100 questionnaires sent in, which is usually announced on the second day of sale; Xiao Zheng randomly selects questionnaires from the huge number of questionnaires and inputs them into the computer to calculate the votes for the top three most interesting works. Detailed information such as the average age of voters, the ranking of each age group, and the ratio of men to women are all calculated. For the sake of accuracy, the statistics will be counted twice.

Usually our results for Weekly Shonen Jump are four days after the release, and two weeks after the release of Akamaru Jump.

Of course, it is impossible for the comic reader survey ranking of "Weekly Shonen Jump" to only count the top three. Xiaozheng will also more accurately count the ranking of all comics after the statistics. Therefore, it usually takes 8 weeks, almost two months, to fully count the reader survey of the current comics.

However, the weekly comic rankings of "Weekly Shonen Jump" are based on the reader survey rankings from 8 weeks ago.

"Akamaru Jump" was released yesterday, and the quick report of the reader survey should be out today. Even though we know that Xiaozheng represents everything, the quick report of Xiaozheng can provide a reference for our newspaper. If the quick report results are a mess, how can Xiaozheng's results be good?

He was nervous. He could only look forward to Xiaozheng if he got good results in the quick report. If Xiaozheng ranked first, he could serialize in Weekly Shonen Jump. If he couldn't serialize in Weekly Shonen Jump, he could settle for the monthly magazine Jump Square.

The problem was that he was worried that the performance of "False Hero" was not good enough and the editor would not give him the opportunity to serialize it. It was not good enough for a weekly magazine, nor was it good enough for a monthly magazine.

If the monthly magazine couldn't be serialized, it would be meaningless for him to complete one chapter of the comic every week. Because it was destined to not be serialized, no matter how much he drew, it would be useless. If it wasn't for proving that he could draw weekly, he wouldn't have needed to draw comics every week before he was sure that the comics could be officially serialized. It would have been enough to complete the first three chapters of "False Hero".

It is said to be three chapters, but in fact it is three chapters combined into one, with each chapter being over fifty pages long.

He still has the last 15 chapters of the comic in his hand. If it cannot be serialized, these 15 chapters will become scrapped.

I can't calm down.

Thinking of this, Tono Kanade, who was drawing the comics, found that his mind was no longer on drawing comics, but was focused on the breaking news that was to come out today.

"Xiaozou."

"Xiaozou!"

"Xiaozou?!"

Three consecutive shouts from Izumi Konata pulled Tono Kanade out of his worried fantasy.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Higashino Kanade put down his pen. He knew that he couldn't paint in his current state. Forcing himself to paint would only make things worse. It would be better not to paint.

"What are you thinking about?" Quan Cifang frowned, "Didn't you say you wanted to play games? Let's play games."
