Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"Brother fried shredded potatoes and ginger. Here!"

Higashino Ling got angry when she mentioned this. Can't you just make fried shredded potatoes and meat, or spicy and sour shredded potatoes? Why make such a weird thing?

"Is that so, Xiaozou, you are really mean-spirited."

Quan Chifang wanted to lie on the table, but when he realized that the table was greasy, he leaned on the chair instead.

Seeing Dongye Zou eating silently, her eyes lit up and suddenly she wanted to eat, but before she wanted to say that she wanted to eat some rice, Dongye Zou spoke.

"Cifang, please go out with me this afternoon."

Higashino Kanade remembered that there was something he had to do and he couldn't delay it any longer. It would be too late if he delayed it any longer.

"What are you doing? Go to Gamers?"

Izumi Konata put his hands behind his head, as if to say, "Once I accept my own bad performance, I will be invincible."

"Just think about your Gamers. Go buy a present for Hong Xia. Her birthday is coming up. I'll find a present for you as well. Your birthdays happen to be next to each other, so I'll prepare a doll for you."

Izumi Konakata's birthday is May 5th, and Ichichi Kouka's birthday is May 28th.

If Ichichi Hongxia was born one day earlier or Izumi Konakata was born one day later, she would be a whole year older than Izumi Konakata.

Higashino Kanade was joking when she said the gift was a doll from a claw machine. Although they were not an old couple, Izumi Konata, their childhood sweetheart, knew that Higashino Kanade was joking.

"I thought you were going to give me your knight's belt."

Izumi Konakata really liked the birthday gift she gave to Higashino Kanade. If the belts she bought weren't so expensive, she would have wanted to get three for herself, one to keep, one to appreciate, and one to preach.

"That's the gift you gave me. How can I give it back?"

When Higashino Kanade said this, he had completely forgotten about the birthday gift he received from this place last year.

"You returned the magical girl costume I gave you last year."

Izumi Konakata really wanted to see Tono Kanade wearing a Cosplay costume, but unfortunately the birthday present she gave to her was returned on her birthday.

She didn't want to pull Xiaozou into the door of a new world. This was just like how Tono Tono made shredded potatoes with ginger in a bad taste. She gave Tono Tono a magical girl Cosplay costume and wanted him to wear it, which was also a bad taste.

Whether adults or children, there will be times when they inexplicably want to act funny and mean. Some people just think about it in their minds, while others can't help but act.

After finishing the last bite of rice, Tono Kanade wiped his mouth with a tissue, glanced at Izumi Konata, and said, "Who asked you to send me that dress? I would have accepted any normal clothes or cosplay costumes you sent me."

"Hey, what's wrong with the Magical Girl Battle Suit? I didn't even give you the Magical Girl Cat Girl Suit."

Quan curled his lips.

Really, Xiaozou doesn’t know how to appreciate.

"no."

Higashino Kanade quickly crossed her arms and said “Da-me”.

He is not interested in cosplay at all, not interested in cosplaying himself, nor interested in cosplaying others. He is an otaku, but he is an anime and manga otaku, and a light game otaku, not a senior otaku like Konata who is a heavy otaku in most aspects except light novels.

Take Comic Market for example. He participates in the Summer and Winter Comic Market every year. He has only been there twice and has never been there again.

He will feel uncomfortable in places with too many people. It's not that he has social phobia, but he just thinks there are too many people, it's hot, crowded and noisy, it's inconvenient to eat, it's inconvenient to go to the toilet, and walking is tiring. For him, he really has no motivation to move, so it's better to go home, play games and sleep in.

After washing the dishes and cleaning, Dongye Kanade asked Dongye Ling if she wanted to join them. After Ling said no, he simply packed up and went out with Konata.

"Or, go back."

Outside his home, the dark cloudy weather made Dongye Zou not want to go out.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Izumi Chifang didn't care what the weather was like. She grabbed Higashino Kanade's arm and headed towards Akihabara.

There, there are electronic products, two-dimensional peripherals, and many different kinds of stores. Akihabara is a good place to buy birthday gifts.

Chapter 110 A Story in the Rain

Weather that is about to rain but doesn't is always uncomfortable.

"I want to go home."

Higashino Kanade was dragged by Izumi Konata, looking very reluctant.

The stuffy feeling outside made him feel very uncomfortable, and he wanted to go home and lie down, either drawing or studying.

"late."

Izumi Konata rejected Higashino Kanade's proposal. Since he had already come out, how could he go back? It didn't matter whether he bought gifts or not. The most important thing was to have fun at Gamers.

"We didn't bring an umbrella. How about we go back and get one?"

Unable to return with a straight ball, Higashino Kanade wanted to go home in a roundabout way.

"not so good."

Quan Konfang had a high enough EQ to see through Dongye Kanade's little thoughts. If he really went back, this guy would definitely make the excuse that it was going to rain and say he would go tomorrow.

This is not okay, this is absolutely not okay.

Tomorrow is Monday, which is also her birthday. If we go tomorrow, Xiaozou can either go alone, or wait for her to get out of school and go together.

"alright."

Higashino Kanade sighed helplessly. He wouldn't care if his life turned into "A Little Story After the Rain" when he got home.

The two went to the station and took the train to Akihabara. There were no empty seats on the train, so they had to stand.

"Have you decided what to buy for Hong Xia as a birthday present?"

"more or less."

"what is what?"

"MP3, record player."

These two gifts were the only ones Higashino Kanade could think of.

"How about you give me an MP3 and I give you a record player?"

With big watery green eyes open, Quan Konata looks cute with a cat-like mouth.

"You are such a clever little kid."

Higashino Kanade laughed. It turned out that she couldn't think of what to give as a gift, so she asked him. Really, Sakura girl is such an idiot.

"Hey, it's embarrassing that you praise me like that."

Izumi Konata turned his face to the side, touched his head and blushed like Nohara Shinnosuke, and his tone became like Shin-chan.

If this guy were a boy, he would probably be Nohara Shinnosuke.

"Who praised you?" Dongye Kanade thought about it and decided not to think about it anymore. He simply asked Quan Qifang, "What about you? What birthday present do you want?"

"Tono Kanade."

Izumi Konata called out Tono Kanade's full name.

"Ah?" Dongye Zou was stunned at first, then he realized that this was the gift Ci Fang was talking about.

He rubbed Cifang's head, and said with some helplessness and amusement: "Be serious."

"I'm super serious, okay?" Izumi Konata waved his fist in dissatisfaction and punched Tono Kanade's chest twice, "How about this, accompany me to the Summer Comic Market."

"Okay, but tell me one more thing. I can't possibly send you nothing tomorrow."

Higashino Kanade really didn't want to go to the summer Comic Market to squeeze in with the crowds. Not only would she have to feel the heat in the venue that couldn't be suppressed even with air conditioning, but she would also have to smell the sweat and all sorts of strange smells from the crowd.

"Then I'll buy something later. You pay the bill and give it to me tomorrow."

After saying this, Izumi Konata looked at the weather outside the train and decided what to buy.

A hat, umbrella, raincoat or rain boots will all work.

……

As the first drop of rain fell, like a signal, the rain in the dark clouds couldn't wait to fall to the ground.

It started with a little drizzle, and in less than a minute the raindrops connected into a line. The dense raindrops gathered to form a heavy downpour, as if the sky was falling, and heavy rain poured down from the gloomy sky.

On the way home, Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata were running wildly.

They were really unlucky. It didn't rain when they bought the gifts, it didn't rain before they got on the bus, and it didn't rain when they got off the bus. But it started raining as soon as they left the station. After they took two steps, the raindrops suddenly turned into heavy rain.

"Hurry up, speed up, and sprint."

"I can't hurry up, I'm useless, I, I can't do it anymore, I'm so tired."

"Xiaozou, you are so weak. This is the consequence of not exercising."

"You ran too fast and disrupted my rhythm. If I had run normally, I would definitely not be like this."

Leaning against the wall, Higashino Kanade wiped the sweat and rain from his face and breathed in the stale big city air.

Before he started drawing comics, he didn't exercise, but he and Cifang always ran around, so his physical fitness was pretty good. He knew that he didn't exercise much after drawing comics, and he also knew that he lacked exercise, but after running like this, he realized how much he lacked exercise.

No, it was only half a year or so since he started drawing comics, and in just over half a year, his health had deteriorated so much.

"Yo, yo, yo."

Seeing that Higashino Kanade was being stubborn, Izumi Konata made a strange yet cute sound to mock him without any hesitation.

"carried me."

Higashino Kanade looked at Izumi Konata who was at ease and told him that he didn't want Bilian.

"seriously?"

Quan Cifang had a strange expression on his face, and he felt conflicted and hesitant.

She wanted Xiaozou to carry her on his back. Xiaozou actually wanted her to carry him on her back. Well, if Xiaozou really wanted to, it was not impossible for her to carry him on her back.

"fake."

Dongye Zou saw Izumi Konata hesitate, and knew that he had made Konata's heart beat after he said that casually. If he said "seriously", Konata would probably run over and carry him on his back. No, Konata's personality should be to carry him like a princess first, and then carry him on her back if she couldn't carry him or was tired.

"Then you should run away with me quickly. I'm soaked. Is this your plan? Do you want to see me and you seduce me with your wet body?!"

Even in this situation, Quan Cifang still didn't forget to show off.

"Who wants to see your wet body temptation? You can't see wet body temptation with the way you are dressed."

Higashino Kanade rolled his eyes at Izumi Konata who was wearing a khaki jacket. This kid, wearing a jacket and with a wet body, is nothing but seductive.

"I know, it was you who wanted to seduce me!"

Izumi Konakata clenched her right fist and clapped her left hand. She looked at the white short-sleeved shirt that was tightly attached to Tono Kanade's skin and gradually understood everything.

"Shut up!"

Dongye Zou was annoyed when he saw that there was something wrong with Izumi Konata's eyes, and he looked down at his clothes.

This kind of clothes is not transparent even if it gets wet, but the problem is that the clothes are not transparent, and Cifang's eyes seem to be able to see through his body, which makes him feel very ashamed.

"hey-hey."

The obedient Quan Cifang shut up, but her laughter couldn't be suppressed and floated out of her mouth. Her funny eyes also expressed her true inner mood.

"..."

Big fire.

A "well" character appeared above Higashino Kanade's head.

He was really angry. If it wasn't unsuitable, he really wanted to be in "A Little Story After Rain", a real "A Little Story After Rain".

When he met Kon's eyes, he seemed to hear Kon's voice saying, "Trash... Trash... Trash... If you have the guts, come and face me..."

"Xiaozou, let's go!"

Izumi Konata's words interrupted Tono Kanade's strange thoughts.

Back to reality, Tono Kanade felt a little happy and a little disappointed when he saw that the real Izumi Konata was different from the female ghost he had imagined.

If it were a female ghost, there would be no problem.

It seems that I have a fever again, a fever in every sense of the word, otherwise I wouldn't be thinking about such strange things.

Higashino Kanade looked at the sky, then looked at himself and Izumi Konakata who were completely soaked, and sighed deeply.
