I won't be a loser.

After lying on the bed for a while, Sanye quickly sat up, slowly moved to her brother's side, stretched out her hand, and placed it on Xianren's shoulder.

Even though there was a height difference, she still easily hooked her arm around Xianren's shoulder. She patted him lightly to attract his attention, and waved her hand gently, indicating that Xianren should come closer to her.

Xianren, who could probably guess some of the reasons, watched as Mitsuha slowly lowered her head and put her ear close to her, wanting to hear what she would say to him.

"You don't have anything to do this afternoon, so you won't stay here the whole afternoon, right?"

"where do you want to go?"

"No, that's not what I want to do. It's a rare trip for Mom to Tokyo, so you don't want Mom to stay in this little room all day and then go back to Itomori when the time comes, do you?"

Xianren really didn't think so. Before Futaba and Mitsuba came to Tokyo, he was still thinking about taking them on a tour around Tokyo, but now that Mitsuba suddenly spoke, he actually wanted to tease his sister.

"That's hard to say. At least Mom has the patience to stay here all day. But someone has only been here for a short while and already seems a little impatient. Isn't this the Tokyo you love? How come you don't even have the patience to sit for a while?"

"It's because we're in Tokyo that I can't sit still!"

Without any intention of refuting, Sanye directly and frankly admitted that she wanted to go wandering around. Seeing Sanye suddenly getting anxious, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Mom, let's go walk around here too. This is in Bunkyo Ward, where there are many universities. To the west are Ochanomizu University, the University of Tsukuba, and Waseda University, all famous schools you often hear about. To the east is the University of Tokyo."

When mentioning the University of Tokyo, Xianren paused and looked at Mitsuha beside him.

"Watch what I do?"

Suddenly being stared at by Xianren, Mitsuha's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Did someone once say that they wanted to get into the University of Tokyo and come to Tokyo with dignity?"

"......"

Sanye, who had never expected that Xianren still remembered this, bit her lips, made a muffled "tsk" sound, and then turned her head away, avoiding Xianren's sight. She was once a child, so it was normal for her to say some big words, right?

She couldn't help but look back at Xianren. She racked her brains to find out about Xianren's "big talk" from her memory, but she found that in her memory, this guy was unexpectedly steady and had never said anything outrageous.

hateful!

"At least I once had a dream. You don't even dare to dream!"

The counterattack angle was unexpected. Xianren stared at her carefully for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Yes, I am indeed a certain distance away from the University of Tokyo, so I can only choose Rikkyo University and Seiho University, which are closer to reality, as my goals."

"........"

In terms of academic performance, no matter how hard Mitsuha tries, she cannot change the fact that Kento's grades are better than hers. It is for this reason that Kento was able to leave Itomori alone and come to Tokyo to study.

If it were her, who has average grades... Recently, when she was at home, she talked about her coming to Tokyo, but all she got was a smile from her mother.

Looking at Miyamizu Futaba who was standing aside and still observing her son's apartment, Mitaba's expression couldn't help but become depressed.

Looking at the corner of the room and listening to the conversation between the brother and sister, they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, but there was still not much difference from when they were at home, which made Miyamizu Futaba feel relieved.

Even though she felt that her son had become more mature, it was natural for him to have some changes when she thought about how he had lived alone in Tokyo for a month. It would be difficult for Miyamizu Futaba to understand if he hadn't changed at all after leaving Itomori for the first time and living alone.

"Since Mitsuha wants to go out, let's go out together. I also have some things to take care of. It would be nice if Xianren could accompany Mitsuha."

"Then, Mitsuha and I will accompany you, Mom, to take care of things first, and then go shopping. You are not that familiar with Tokyo now that you have arrived, right?"

When Xianren heard that Miyamizu Futaba was going out alone, he immediately focused all his attention on his mother. He didn't want Miyamizu Futaba to come to Tokyo alone and get lost here.

"Don't worry, I've already contacted someone I know. She's already nearby and will pick me up later. When she comes back, she'll also take me back."

"......"

Looking at Miyamizu Futaba's warm smile, Xianren hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.

"I understand. If there is anything, just call me directly."

"Well, if you really get lost, then I'll have to trouble you, sage."

Smiling at her son, Miyamizu Futaba turned her gaze to her daughter again, and Mitsuha couldn't help but hide behind Xianren.

"Listen to your brother and remember to follow the wise man when the time comes."

"I see......."

Knowing that she might be left here if she said anything willful at this moment, Sanye nodded obediently, stretched out her hands, and hugged Xianren's arm tightly, indicating that she would follow Xianren closely.

When Miyamizu Futaba was about to say something, a cell phone rang, but it was not Kento's phone.

"The phone is mine."

Miyamizu Futaba picked up her red cell phone, saw the name of the caller, and glanced at the wise man in front of her.

"Ok?"

"I'm going to answer a phone call outside."

"Spare key."

Kento handed the spare key in his drawer to Miyamizu Futaba, and lied to Saionji Sekai that he had sent the spare key back home. Then he led Mitsuba and walked directly towards the door.

I went to a sauna today and I felt much better. It feels so good to sweat.

Cherry Blossom Season: 147. You know, I love you.

He didn't know who his mother came to Tokyo to meet or what the matter was. He was a little curious and didn't disturb her. He left the room to Miyamizu Futaba, and Kento took his sister and left the apartment first.

"Where are you going?"

"Let's walk around first. We have enough time now to explore the surroundings. You can wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to explore other places. Anyway, you just want to see the famous attractions here, right?"

Mitsuha had never been to Tokyo before, and all her knowledge of this bustling city came from TV programs and weekly magazines. Her knowledge was limited to the famous attractions and landmark buildings that often appeared on TV.

If you ask Mitsuha about her knowledge of Tokyo's districts, I'm afraid she can only answer "Shinjuku" and "Shibuya".

Because she had never been to such a place, no matter how much yearning and longing she had for this city in her heart, she would never be able to compare to the people living in this city.

"So what? Tokyo Skytree, and... well, I haven't been to Shinjuku yet. Is there Kabukicho there?"

"It's better for minors not to go there. It's different from Itomori. In Itomori, everyone knows each other, so there aren't any really bad people. Even if there are some annoying people, they're just annoying. But in a city like this, there are more than just annoying people. Especially in a place like Kabukicho, even though it has been cleaned up countless times, there are still a lot of darkness lurking there."

"'Darkness lurks there~' You're saying it so seriously, are you really saying you've been there? Wait, I'll tell Mom you went to a place like Kabukicho!"

"I haven't been there, but I know someone who works there. He's been missing for a while. I wonder if he'll show up next time on that asphalt road or in the news full of mosaics."

"......"

Sanye, who didn't know much about these cruel things, didn't know what the wise man meant for a moment, but she vaguely heard a sense of inexplicable coldness in it, and suddenly fell silent.

He didn't dare to say anything for a long time. After a while, he secretly glanced at the wise man and asked in a low voice.

"What does asphalt road mean?"

"Do you know what the temperature of unsolidified asphalt is?"

"No... this isn't in the textbook. How could I possibly know that?"

Mitsuha, who vaguely sensed something, fell silent and answered Xianren in a sullen voice. Xianren, who was walking side by side with Mitsuha, gave the answer with a smile.

"Above 200 degrees Celsius, and this temperature can completely kill most of a person—"

"Okay! I get it! Don't go on!"

Mitsuha clenched her teeth, feeling that if she continued listening, she would not be able to sleep at night. She glanced sullenly at her brother who was smiling calmly beside her. Her anticipation for Tokyo suddenly faded a lot at this moment. She followed Xianren quietly on the road, but in her heart she kept thinking over and over what Xianren had just said to her.

After walking out of the apartment, Xianren led his sister towards the University of Tokyo. Other places were relatively far away, but the University of Tokyo was relatively close, so Xianren chose to take his sister to walk around the University of Tokyo first...

After a phone call, Miyamizu Futaba stood in the apartment, looking at the empty room. Now she was the only one left. She was silent for a moment, picked up the shoulder bag given by her husband, and slowly left the room.

She locked the door and put the spare key in her pocket.

After leaving the apartment, she headed towards the subway she had taken earlier. When she arrived near the Korakuen subway station, she looked around and saw a familiar figure, so she walked towards him...

"Ah, it feels like a completely different world from mine. Not interesting at all. I heard there are more handsome men in Keio?"

After coming out of the University of Tokyo, Mitsuha's face showed an expression of expectation but helplessness. With her grades, no matter how hard she tried, it would be basically impossible for her to be admitted to the University of Tokyo.

No matter how much she liked it in her heart, after walking around, she had no expectations anymore and decisively chose to give up.

"Don't think too much. Even if there are more handsome men, what does it have to do with you?"

"There are people who like you. You must have done something excessive to Miss Setsuna, right? How did you threaten her?"

"Do you think I need threats?"

Pointing his finger at his face, Xianren smiled at Mitsuha.

“…Tsk, damn it.”

Looking at the face that is 30% similar to his own, they are obviously brother and sister. Sanye, the girl, is ordinary, but Xianren, the boy, has a soft and beautiful face. When he smiles, he is like the warm sun in spring. He is undoubtedly the image of a gentle and warm man.

If it weren't for the fact that they grew up together and knew very well about her brother's bad character and the relationship between them, from an outsider's perspective, for example, her good friend Sayaka Natori, like other girls, would be completely bewitched by her brother and completely deceived by his appearance.

"So I didn't resort to any evil tactics, but was simply deceived by your innocent appearance?"

I wanted to refute Sanye's evaluation of me, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with such an evaluation. Setsuna did start with his external appearance, and as for his inner self, it was only after getting to know him.

"None of this is important. We've already finished touring the University of Tokyo. Where to go next? Are there any attractions we want to visit? We should be able to visit some nearby sights before it gets dark."

"Are there any other attractions nearby? I'm not familiar with Tokyo, and since you've already lived here for a month, shouldn't you be the one taking on the responsibility of a tour guide?"

"Koishikawa Korakuen Garden, near my apartment."

"What is that? An amusement park?"

"Does a garden have to be an amusement park? A garden is filled with all kinds of plants."

"You're not an old person, pass!"

"Ueno, Asakusa."

"It's a little familiar, but not quite familiar. So where is the Wind and Thunder Divine Sect?"

"Asakusa."

"Then let's go to Asakusa!"

.......

After a lot of trouble, Xianren accompanied Mitsuha to visit the University of Tokyo. Then they took the tram and subway to Shinmon in Asakusa. There were all kinds of vendors around. Xianren had no interest in these, but he could not resist Mitsuha who was full of shopping desire.

Attracted by the various 'souvenirs', Sanye's eyes fell on Xianren, revealing a 'simple' and 'innocent' smile.

"Onii-chan~"

"......"

"Hey, Onii-chan~"

Hard.

The fist in his hand hardened.

Although Kento himself had no particular interest in these souvenirs, he thought of Yotsuba who was far away in Itomori and did not come to Tokyo this time, so he could not prepare nothing for her. While shopping with Mitsuha, Kento bought some for Mitsuha and asked her to give them to Yotsuba when she returned to Itomori.

"I can understand giving it to Yotsuba, but why do I have to take everything?"

Looking at the bags of various sizes in his hands, he looked at the wise man walking in front of him with empty hands with a dark face.

Cherry Blossom Season: 148. What else can women talk about?

The brother and sister returned to the apartment from Asakusa. When they entered the house, they looked at the empty room. It was obvious that their mother, Miyamizu Futaba, had not returned from outside yet.

"Mom, does she know anyone in Tokyo? Why haven't I heard her talk about this before?"

"Is it possible that she thought if she told you, you would become restless, so she asked her to bring you to Tokyo to visit that person she knew?"

Putting the souvenir in his hand aside, Xianren turned around and looked at Sanye who was standing in the living room. He walked in front of her and stretched out his hand - pinched her cheek, making Sanye grin and reach out to fight back at Xianren!

He loosened his hand and dodged Mitsuha's attack. Looking at her rubbing her cheek with her hand, Xianren smiled and walked towards the refrigerator.

"What are you going to do?"
