Is it okay not to want to work hard?

In April, the cherry blossoms bloom in Tokyo.

Flowers, trees, sky, breeze, clouds, sun, no rainbow.

Looking up at the blue sky, white clouds and wearing his school uniform, Higashino Kanade felt that it was a little unreal.

I never expected that today I would become a junior high school student, a junior high school student in Kitazawa.

He was attending junior high school in Shimokitazawa, so naturally he was attending the same junior high school as Hong Xia.

The torturous elementary school life is over, the even more torturous junior high school life is coming, and then the super torturous high school life, followed by the useless college life, and finally becoming a proud waste.

It's a pity that he probably won't become a waste.

Academically, he studied for an elementary school degree and became a glorious junior high school student; in his career, his comics are serialized steadily in "Weekly Shonen Jump"; in love, he and Ome's Konata, who he is dating but only sleeps with, are very dependent on him, Nijiga is waiting for a reply, Ichiri is working hard on the pursuit, and Yuzuru is in the process of development.

On the way to school, Tono Kanade, Izumi Konata, and Nishimiya Shoko were together. Ijichi Koka was a second-year student and went to school early.

"I'm so sad. From today on, I'm going to be a junior student. Everyone in school is a senior."

Having become a junior high school student, Izumi was happy, but not completely happy.

I no longer feel proud of being a senior student. From now on, I will be a junior for two years.

"It's okay. When you become a senior in the future, you won't be a senior in the eyes of the juniors."

Higashino Kanade put his hand on Izumi Konata's head and compared his height with Konata's. During the spring break, he compared his height with Konata and was delighted to find that he was 1cm taller than Konata.

Last year he was a little shorter than Ji Fang, but this year he successfully overtook him. How could he not be happy?

"I will still grow taller, Xiaozou, you are only 1cm taller than me, don't be too proud." Quan Qifang slapped away the hand that was touching his head, "It is because you often touch my head that I can't grow taller. Are you secretly absorbing my nutrients for growth?"

"That's also 1cm." Higashino Kanade deliberately pressed down Izumi Konata's ahoge and said with a smile, "Sooner or later, my height will surpass yours and your ahoge."

"Don't dream. I'll just make you 1cm taller. What's the big deal? It's just 1cm, 1cm, a short 1cm."

Izumi Konata slapped Dongye Kanade's hand away again and covered his head to prevent Dongye Kanade from touching it.

"Why do you sound so strange?"

Higashino Kanade felt that there was something wrong with what Izumi Konata said. Was this H Loli hinting at something? No, she must be hinting at something.

"hey-hey."

Quan Konata turned his head without explanation, with a cunning look on his face.

The girl's mouth turned into a cat's mouth, and she sneered in a low voice that Tono Kanade was sure to hear: "A short and weak 1cm, a small and cute 1cm."

“Why is 1cm also cute?”

Suddenly, Nishimiya Naoko, who had been quiet until now and whose existence was as thin as that of a saint, spoke.

Although she is already a junior high school student, Glass is still very innocent, with clear confusion and puzzlement in her eyes.

"Hmm..." Izumi Konakata didn't expect Nishimiya Naoko's ears to become more sensitive. Her surprised expression didn't last long. A mischievous smile appeared on her face again. She said like a fox, "Noko, you will know it in the future. As long as you continue to associate with Xiaozou, sooner or later you will understand it. At the earliest in high school, at the latest in college, you will definitely understand it. Right, super H Xiaozou."

"No."

Dongye Zou shook his head and touched his neck awkwardly. There were some things he didn't know whether he should say or not.

"Yeah."

Quan Cifang looked unconvinced.

"It's not the first high school, the first one is..." Higashino Kanade showed an embarrassed smile on his face and whispered, "It was junior high school."

"Eh?!"

Quan was shocked.

Junior high school? Junior high school. Junior high school!

"Hentai!"

With his hands on his chest, Izumi Konata looked at Tono Kanade with an expression of disbelief.

Oh my god, someone actually wants to attack a junior high school student.

"I didn't expect you to be such a little one!"

"Hey, you H loli, why are you pretending to be innocent?"

"I'm innocent, okay?"

"Nonsense, I don't know anyone who expects me to raid his bed every time we sleep together."

Higashino Kanade didn't think that Izumi Konata wanted him to finish Ghs in high school. If Konata wanted that, he wouldn't have played with fire when they slept together at night. If he hadn't had strong self-control, he would have been distracted by her and fallen into the abyss of lust.

It's not that he can't stop at the first try, but he believes in himself, and once he has a first try he will not be satisfied with just stopping.

Is there anyone who only eats the side dishes and not the main course?

When they were almost at school, Izumi Konata and Higashino Kanade stopped talking about H and anything related to H.

There are more and more classmates wearing school uniforms from the same school on the street. For the sake of their own image and to avoid being regarded as weirdos who tell dirty jokes by classmates on the first day of school, they'd better stop saying these weird things.

Along the way, Quan Qifang noticed that people were looking at Dongye Zou from time to time. If they were all girls, she would simply think that these people thought Xiaozou was pretty, but why were there boys looking at Xiaozou? They turned their heads to take a look, looked back, and then turned their heads to take another look.

At first, Izumi Konata and other boys might be looking at her and Naoko, but she deliberately walked behind Naoko and kept a distance from Xiaozou, and she found that some boys were still looking at Xiaozou.

Unable to bear it any longer, Quan Chifang walked to Dongye Zou and asked, "Xiao Zou, why are they all looking at you?"

"It must be because he saw me in school uniform."

Higashino Kanade knew that some students were looking at him, but he did not find it strange. Instead, he thought it was normal.

"Why do they look at you when you are in school uniform?"

Izumi Konata's ahoge made a big question mark.

"Because last year when I was sketching, I would pick up Hongxia from school. At that time, I always waited for Hongxia at the school gate with my painting bag on my back. It was hard for them not to recognize me."

Tono Kanade recognized several students who were looking at him.

They were all Hongxia's classmates. Two of the girls greeted him and seemed to treat him as Hongxia's boyfriend. Hongxia told him about all the confessions made by other boys at school.

At this time, Nishimiya Naoko had a confused expression. She had been listening to the conversation between Xiaozou and Konata, but she found that she could no longer understand what they were saying.

What are Koufang and Xiaozou talking about? Why are they talking about school uniforms? Who are they?

However, if she couldn't understand, then she couldn't understand. Anyway, she couldn't understand half of the time when Xiaozou and Jifang were chatting. Although she would listen carefully and knew that they were probably talking about animation, games or H things that she didn't understand at all, she just couldn't understand.

She watches animations very hard and plays games very hard, but she also has to draw, so she can't watch animations and play games as intensively as Cifang.

Chapter 2: Escape is shameful, but useful

New school, new semester.

Izumi Konata, Higashino Kanade, and Nishimiya Shoko are in the same class.

Originally, the three of them were not in the same class, but for the sake of her daughter, Yaeko Nishimiya reported to the school and made the three of them become classmates in the same class.

There is no other way, Nishimiya Naoko has to be left without someone to take care of her.

Even if Nishimiya Shoko didn't use sign language, Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata could understand what she said, but that doesn't mean that the classmates who just met her could understand what she was saying.

In order to avoid Nitro being disliked by others, it would be better for them to be in the same class with Nitro.

Higashino Kanade and Izumi Konata were both very happy about this. If Hongxia wasn't a second-year student, they both wanted to be in the same class with Hongxia.

The first day of school will be an opening ceremony and cleaning, and there will be no classes.

This day is for classmates to get to know each other.

When the classmates introduced themselves, two names caught Higashino Kanade's attention.

One is called Hiiragi Tsukasa, a cute girl with purple hair and blue eyes, who is taller than Konata; the other is called Kora Miyuki, who has pink hair and purple eyes, who is also taller than Konata, and, well, older.

Higashino Kanade looked at Kora Miyuki carefully. Judging from the appearance, the two newly grown glasses were equally matched, but to know who was bigger in scale, one had to experience it in person.

I probably can't make the comparison myself, but this method is possible.

So, girls are good.

"Introduce yourself. This is really a social hell."

Higashino Kanade lay on the table and smiled as he watched everyone introduce themselves on the podium.

It was not the self-introduction of the person on the podium, but he thought that if the person to introduce himself was Ichiri from his hometown, Ichiri would either try to escape or tremble while preparing the lines for his self-introduction, and after going on stage, he would barely squeeze out the four words "Goto Ichiri" from his mouth and then give way to him.

He used to be just like Yili, timid and humble, and he didn't even dare to eat the snow in Xia Kitazawa. Now he is different. Well, he still doesn't dare to eat the snow in Xia Kitazawa. He is still timid but not humble.

The self-introduction takes one and a half minutes. When it was Higashino Kanade's turn, he introduced himself simply, just like most people before him. He just casually mentioned his name and hobbies, and emphasized that he was a otaku.

He didn't say anything about the fact that he was a cartoonist, that he was the wife of Konata and Shoko, or that he was the undecided boyfriend of second-year student Ijichi-senpai.

Although he thought about talking too much and pretending to be cool to make everyone envious, doing so would not only get himself into trouble, but would also cause trouble to Konata, Nozomi and Nijika, so he gave up the idea of ​​pretending to be cool.

There must be people in this school who read "False Hero". If he says that he is a professional cartoonist for "Weekly Shonen Jump" and makes them believe that he is the bad Ringo, then his first month in junior high school as a school celebrity may not be too peaceful.

Maybe all kinds of weirdos would come over and become his friends.

This is not good. He wants a peaceful daily life, preferably a peaceful daily life with Ghs. He just wants to have sex with women. Men? Get out!

He hates men the most.

If it's a cute boy, like Hideyoshi, Ayaka, or Arikawa-hime, well, forget it. I always feel like I'll be turned gay.

Higashino Kanade was thinking about introducing himself here, but what he didn't know was that what he had just imagined was becoming a reality.

Class 2 of Grade 1 is right next to Class of Grade where Tono Kanade is.

Goto Ichiri rubbed his stomach with both hands, feeling uncomfortable because of nervousness.

I feel so sick. I want to vomit and I want to die.

Regret, in short, I regret it very much.

Why does it take one and a half minutes to introduce yourself? Isn't that too unreasonable? Socially anxious people are not good at introducing themselves. One and a half minutes of self-introduction is simply killing her. Isn't it enough to just say your name when introducing yourself? One and a half minutes? Is it okay for her to say her name for one and a half minutes?

Complaining in his heart, Goto Ichiri wanted to escape.

Although running away is shameful and useless, it is better to escape for a while.

If she hadn't been so crazy as to come to Shimokitazawa to attend junior high school, she wouldn't have encountered such a horrible thing.

Who told her that after she knew which junior high school Xiaozou was going to attend, she rushed over too?

She was so stupid, really. It took two hours to get from home to school one way, and four hours in total to go to and from school. She could already imagine the painful commute in the future.

My parents didn't stop me and let me go to Linglan Middle School.

Xiaozou didn't know that I was at Ryolan Junior High School. It was obvious that I came to Shimokitazawa to study even though I lived in Yokohama because of him.

Actually, I didn’t do it for him. Okay, I did do it for him. Don’t lie to yourself. It’s just that she wants to have friends she can talk to in real life, not just in dreams.

If he knew about this, would he misunderstand that I was interested in him? He obviously has a girlfriend, would he misunderstand that I was chasing after a married man, would he hate me?

Lying on the table like a dead fish, Goto Ichiri felt more and more uncomfortable and upset the more he thought about it.

She came to Linglan Middle School just because she was looking forward to meeting her dream friend, but after she was sure that her junior high school was Linglan Middle School and it couldn't be easy anymore, she became timid and worried about this and that.

I am eager to see my friend, but I am also worried that my friend hates me.

All we can say is that Goto Ichiri doesn't understand Higashino Kanade. If Higashino Kanade knew that Goto Ichiri went to the same junior high school with him just for him, he would be so happy that he wouldn't even hate him.

"Student, are you okay?"

The teacher noticed Goto Ichiri, who was lying on the table and looking unwell.

Goto Ichiri, who was in the midst of self-doubt and even self-loathing, did not hear his words.

"This classmate? This classmate."

The teacher patted Goto Ichiri on the shoulder, but Goto Ichiri still didn't respond.

"Uh, ah!"

Suddenly, Goto Ichiri let out a strange cry.

She didn't know what terrible thing she imagined, but she fell down all of a sudden.

Fortunately, the teacher reacted in time and supported Goto Ichiri, and hurriedly shouted: "What's wrong, what's wrong with you, hurry up, two girls come to help, send this student to the health room."

Okay.
