Chapter 346 Slacking off is human nature
The biggest difference between humans and wild animals is that humans often engage in incredibly complex thinking.
From initially pondering how to survive, we now think about how to live better and more enjoyably. But the greatest lesson humanity has learned from history is that they have learned nothing at all.
Laziness is human nature, so choosing to slack off is not because there is something wrong with the person, but simply because they are going with the flow.
"So that's why you're not working and just lying here?"
Yukinoshita was carrying a basket of fruit, which they had just picked themselves in a private orchard.
After a morning picnic by the river, Chitanda Eru led everyone to her family's orchard and vegetable garden in the afternoon to experience the real autumn harvest.
Uchiha Ryo actually came to the roof of the courtyard to sunbathe all by himself. This is a shameful act of laziness!
"Don't be angry. Now that you've come to the countryside, you have to get used to the slow pace of rural life."
"You young ladies are used to being meticulous in everything, preparing everything perfectly, and then doing things according to plan. But isn't that tiring?"
Uchiha Ryo seemed to have grasped the true meaning of life: that living such a tiring life is meaningless.
"Come on, this recliner of mine is quite big."
Yukinoshita looked disgusted. "Then you can just lie here until it gets dark."
Uchiha Rin got off the sun chair, stretched, and gazed into the distance.
"Why are you the only one back? Where are the others?"
Yukinoshita placed the basket on the wooden table. "After we finished picking the fruit, Hiratsuka-sensei said she would take everyone to eat roasted sweet potatoes, and then she called Shirogane-kun and Ishigami-kun to do the hard labor."
"Hana and Rumi are waiting on the side, while Fujiwara is taking Hayasaka and Eru fishing at the reservoir. Shinomiya probably went along too. As for Captain Amakusa and Kei, they are cutting fruit in the kitchen."
"Fishing and roasting sweet potatoes, what a delightful pastoral life! To be honest, I'd love to live here."
"We only have one vacation, and there's a lot to do next semester. Also, Mr. Hiratsuka wants you to come over; he said that two boys alone can't dig up many sweet potatoes."
Yukino's calm demeanor shattered Uchiha Ryo's fantasy of a carefree life, and incidentally, she was also relegated to a job.
"Yes, yes, I'm going to work now. You stay home and wait for me to come back."
With that, Uchiha Rin, too lazy to take the stairs, jumped off the second-floor balcony and ran towards the vegetable garden.
"Really... I'm not a newlywed wife." Yukino muttered softly, just as the balcony door behind her was pushed open.
Amakusa Shino: "Yukinoshita, let's take the cut fruit to the others. Eh, where's the Uchiha?"
Yukinoshita picked up the fruit basket again. "He's already gone to Hiratsuka-sensei's place. Let's ignore him and go to the reservoir to find Eru and the others."
......
As for Uchiha Ryo who left the courtyard, what a joke! Why would he go and do hard labor for Hiratsuka Shizuka? He might as well wait for Shirogane and the others to dig up the sweet potatoes before going over.
The sunny weather today was perfect for a walk. As Uchiha Ryo strolled leisurely into the fields, he saw Shirogane Miyuki and Ishigami Yu lying on the grass. Judging from the violent rise and fall of their chests, there had been no tragedy.
"Oh, you're still alive."
"Uchiha! You... why are you only arriving now!" Shirogane Miyuki raised his slightly trembling hands. If he hadn't been training by riding bicycles regularly, he would have been exhausted by now, having dug up that pile of sweet potatoes.
Ishigami is a prime example. Look at his small frame, which usually only plays video games; he's so tired he can't even speak now.
Standing to the side, Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms and said, "These young people nowadays, this is an opportunity for you to train! Didn't you say you wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes?"
Shirogane Miyuki sat up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. "Wanting to eat is one thing, but two people consuming the equivalent of a large group's worth is another..."
"Hey, you're the student council president of Shuchiin High School, how come you have no spirit of dedication at all?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka gently stroked her cheek and sighed.
"If you two boys aren't going to lift a finger, do you expect me, a weak woman who can't lift a load or even hold a dog, to do the work? Or do you want Xiaohua and Rumei over there to help you?!"
Miyuki Shirogane: "..."
Yu Ishigami couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then Shizuka Hiratsuka lifted him up with one hand.
"What are you laughing at, kid? The mission isn't over yet. We have the sweet potatoes, but where's the firewood?"
Ishigami Yu, lifted up with one hand, raised both hands high. "Master, let us rest for a while! Isn't Uchiha-senpai here? Let's leave the rest of the task to him!"
Shirogane Miyuki quickly chimed in, "Right, right, he didn't even come to dig sweet potatoes, so let's leave everything to Uchiha-kun from now on!"
So, Uchiha Rin, who had just arrived, was sent to the forest to gather firewood.
Seriously, it's just a bunch of sweet potatoes, why do we need firewood? I could cook them with a single Fire Release: Great Fireball.
Suddenly, Uchiha Ryo, who was searching for firewood, spotted a white figure darting out of the forest. It was none other than Yanyun Jiang, who was carrying a sweet potato in his mouth.
"As expected of my good ninja cat, you actually want to help your master gather firewood. Then this glorious task is entrusted to you."
Yanyunjiang rolled her eyes at her scumbag master, then put down the sweet potato she was holding in her mouth.
"I was planning to grill it myself, why should I help you gather firewood? Besides, couldn't you have just used Wood Release to solve the problem?"
"It's hard to control the intensity; my chakra manipulation precision isn't particularly good."
Yanyunjiang sat there, then suddenly squinted and shook her head.
"Were you just mocking me, you piece of trash cat?!" Uchiha Ryo raised an eyebrow.
"No, how could I possibly mock someone as powerful as Lord Uchiha? It's just that I don't need firewood to roast sweet potatoes."
As she spoke, Yanyunjiang patted the roasted sweet potato on the ground and then spat out a flame from her mouth.
The Two-Tails' chakra allowed Yanyun to master Fire Release techniques, and her experience of frequently using the tail to control the keyboard while playing games also gave her incredibly skilled chakra manipulation techniques.
As the sweet potatoes fell from the air, their skins were somewhat charred, but as Yanyunjiang reached out and peeled them away, a rich aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted out.
"Oh dear, I don't need firewood. I have one left that hasn't been grilled yet, would you like to try it, Master Fish?"
Unbearable! Uchiha Ryo's peaceful state of mind, which had just been trying to blend into the countryside, was instantly ignited by that scoundrel cat.
"Alright, alright, then let me show you the power of the Uchiha! Bring me the sweet potato!"
Yanyunjiang nodded, then picked up a palm-sized sweet potato from the bushes.
Uchiha Rin reached out and took the sweet potato, then took several steps back before taking a deep breath and throwing it towards the smoke cloud.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Yanyunjiang: "Meow meow meow——————"

Ahem, I've read everyone's comments. This book has been suspended several times due to being taken in several places. And let's not even talk about you guys... I've completely forgotten the beginning of the story.
Some people say, "Just forget about this book. Just end it casually and then prepare a new one."
But some people want me to finish writing it, at least to reach a million words before I end it.
I'm torn, so I'll leave the decision to you! Should I stop here and prepare for the new book, or should I try my best to continue updating?
Just between you and me, the new book is also a crossover anime slice-of-life story, with the protagonist being a Gojo Satoru template—he's invincible, that's all.
