I won't be a loser.

"you know?"

"You don't often have people visiting your home, do you? You'll know if you see a stranger and show a little concern. And do you think you can watch TV for free forever if your family doesn't pay?"

“I always thought I could watch the show for free…”

"For example, in the countryside, there aren't many entertainment options. Watching TV is pretty much the most common pastime. Paying a small fee won't have a big impact."

"Oh."

Sanye felt a little distressed about the fee of more than ten thousand yuan, but after thinking about it, she was not the one paying the fee, so she didn't care so much.

With nothing to do, she came to the desk, looked at the books on the table, picked up one at random, opened it and started reading.

"By the way, besides the last magazine, you haven't submitted any more articles?"

"No."

"Is there any royalties?"

"Didn't I tell you that?"

"I forgot."

"Ten or twenty thousand yen has already been spent on daily life."

"Hey, isn't this enough to pay NHK's usage fee?"

"Wouldn't it be better to use it to buy some fruit?"

Speaking of fruits, Xianren took out the grapes from the shopping bag, washed them, put them on a plate, and brought them to the table. Mitsuha, who was reading a book, put down the book when she saw the grapes, walked to the low table, picked up the grapes, and handed them to Miyamizu Futsuha first.

After the three of them had dinner, Sanye, who was sitting in the house with nothing to do, stood beside Xianren. After Xianren cleaned the table and tidied the room, she almost stuck her whole body to Xianren, put her hands on his shoulders and began to rub them.

"......If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to hurt my shoulder like this."

The action of pinching the shoulder suddenly froze. Sanye looked at the wise man in front of her with a murderous look in her eyes, but it turned into gentleness in an instant. She asked with a smile.

"Well, since we don't have anything to do tonight, let's go shopping together."

"It's already evening, where can we go shopping? It's almost time to rest, and there's nothing to shop around here."

His eyes fell on Mitsuha's face, and Xianren took away the two claws she had placed on his shoulders.

"Anywhere is fine. I feel like I'm going to get moldy at home!"

".......May I?"

Xianren was helpless about this and looked at Miyamizu Futaba, wanting to seek his mother's opinion.

"Go ahead, but come back early. I heard that big cities aren't very safe at night, so be careful."

"Mom, won't you come out for a walk with us?"

"I'm already very tired today. I have to call back later to tell Yotsuba that I'm safe. You guys can just go."

"Oh."

When Sanye heard that she was going to chat with Siye, she lost interest. Anyway, she would be able to see her sister the day after tomorrow, and Sanye had no interest in this at all.

She reached out and took Xianren's hand, then pulled her 'hateful' brother towards the door.

It had just gotten dark outside, and under the light of the street lamps, it was still as bright as day, with not much difference. Xianren, who was pulled out of the door by Sanye in his clothes, looked at the dark scenery around him and didn't know what was good about it.

"It's all pitch black, what do you want to see?"

"No, Tokyo shouldn't be like this. It should be lively at night."

Looking around at the streets, Sanye saw that there was no one around at night, so she couldn't help but move closer to Xianren and hugged his arms with both hands.

Even though there were street lights, there were few people in the dark streets and alleys, which made her feel uneasy. She couldn't help but feel a little scared and wanted to find some sense of security from Xianren.

"Even if it's bustling, that's only in the commercial district. How could the residential area be bustling at night? Everyone is already exhausted from working during the day, and you want to deprive others of even a chance to rest at night? I didn't expect you to be so cruel."

"That's not what I meant!"

The expression on her little face was twisted into a knot. She wanted to be angry at Xianren, but she didn't know what to say. Sanye looked at the scenery around her and couldn't help sighing.

“How far is this place from your school?”

"Why are you asking this?"

"I want to visit your school."

"You're in a really good mood to go and see the school in the middle of the night."

"Is that possible?"

Mitsuha narrowed her eyes and looked at Xianren beside her. Her expression looked very serious. Considering Mitsuha's personality, he felt that if he refused, Mitsuha would throw a tantrum and cry.

"The door will definitely be locked at night. If you want to take a look, you can only stand outside and take a look. If you don't mind, just go. Otherwise, you can wait until tomorrow to take a look."

"go!"

As long as she can see where Xianren goes to school, it doesn’t matter to Sanye whether it is outside the school or not. Moreover, even if the door is locked at night, can’t she still climb over the wall and enter the school?

Seeing Sanye suddenly become interested, Xianren didn't know what to say. He just quietly held her arm and walked forward.

It was only a ten-minute walk during the day, but at night, because it was pitch dark, it took the two of them nearly twenty minutes to reach the entrance of Fengzhiqi's school.

When Sanye saw the private high school that was completely different from her own country school, envy immediately appeared in her eyes.

"This is a high school in the big city. It looks completely different from Itomori's school. The feeling of standing at the door is very unique. What's the environment like inside?"

"Yeah, it's a little different from Itomori's."

"It's true that big cities are great. For example, at Itomori School, even the running track is just paved with gravel. It's completely different here. It looks brand new and professional."

The door was locked tightly. Sanye and Xianren walked around the wall and came to the playground. Looking at the fenced campus, Sanye's eyes were full of longing.

"When you get to high school, and your grades are up to par, I can talk to my father and ask him to agree to let you go to school in Tokyo."

"Really?"

Mitsuha turned her head in surprise and looked at the wise man beside her.

There was no light nearby, and Sanye could only see Xianren's blurry profile in the moonlight. She was a little skeptical whether the other party would really keep his promise when the time came.

"By then, I'll be able to earn enough to support myself, so even paying for your tuition won't be a problem. So, even if my family disagrees, it won't matter."

"You said so!"

"of course."

"Humph, I can definitely do that!"

"Then, let me look forward to it."

Cherry Blossom Season: 152. How long can you hold on?

On the morning of the 6th, considering that it would take some time to get home, Mitsuha, who was reluctant to leave, was woken up early by Miyamizu Futsuha, and the two of them took the 9 a.m. Shinkansen.

Watching his family slowly disappear in the crowd, Xianren stood quietly in the station hall, his eyes fixed on the direction where his family disappeared. After a long silence, he followed the others to the subway and returned to his apartment.

There was no sound of Sanye in the room, and she felt a little lonely. She walked slowly into the house and lay down on her bed, which still vaguely smelled of home. She buried her face in the bed, thinking about her life in Itomori, and she felt an urge to return home.

After lying like this for seven or eight minutes, Xiancai slowly propped himself up, walked to the desk, pulled out his chair, sat down in front of the desk, and opened his drawer.

"I haven't written much during the entire holiday. Since I have nothing to do today, I might as well continue writing..."

At noon, he casually cooked some udon noodles to fill his stomach, and then continued to sit at the desk, thinking and writing on the manuscript in front of him. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the doorbell rang, and the wise man, whose brain was dizzy, put down the pen in his hand.

He arrived at the door, opened it, and when he saw the person standing at his door, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"come in."

He turned around and walked into the house. Setsuna at the door also followed him into the room and closed the door. Looking at the empty room, he realized that Mitsuha and Miyamizu Futaba, who had stayed in Tokyo for three days, had already left.

"Did you leave this morning?"

"Well, I left around nine and forgot to contact you."

"Have you returned to Itomori?"

"Probably not yet. By now, we should have arrived in Nagoya and transferred to the train back to Gifu. It will probably take some time to get home. If we have a car to pick us up, we might be able to get home by then."

After calculating the time, he should have arrived in Nagoya by now, and may even have boarded the train from Nagoya to Hida. As for whether he had arrived in Itomori, Kento himself was not sure, but it was very likely that he had not yet.

"If he gets home, he should contact me. He hasn't contacted me yet, so he probably hasn't gotten home yet."

"Ah."

After hearing the sage's answer and watching the sage pick up the cup and take a sip of water, Shanshan slowly came to the sage, opened his arms, and hugged the sage in front of him.

Xianren, who was drinking water, felt his body bumped. He looked down at Shanma who was hugging him with some expectation in her eyes. He couldn't help but put down the cup, and his right hand gently fell on Shanma's face, stroking her cheek.

"what happened?"

"want to."

"what do you want?"

The girl's cheeks flushed, and she looked at the wise man in front of her and stood on tiptoe...

Saionji Sekai has been staying at home for three full days. Except for helping her mother in the restaurant at noon and in the evening every day, she basically spends the rest of the time sitting at home in a daze, not knowing what to do at all.

"It's almost time for you to leave by now. Even if you're just visiting, you should be back. Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"

Muttering to herself, Sekai Saionji sat on her bed, hugged her legs with her hands, swayed her body back and forth, turned her head to look at the window beside her, knelt on the bed, moved slowly to the window, and glanced in the direction of Xianren's apartment.

Today is the last day of the holiday, and we have to go back to school from tomorrow.

The next holiday will be summer vacation, which is still quite a long time away. The specific holiday date has not been determined yet, and different schools have different holiday times. Saionji Sekai doesn't know how many holidays she and Kento have in common.

"He might go back to his hometown in Itomori during the summer vacation, so he won't be in Tokyo for too long. And with Setsuna around, the time he spends with me will definitely be even shorter. I don't know what he's doing right now..."

The feeling of loneliness almost devoured her entire being. Biting her lips, Saionji Sekai felt that she could no longer stay in this home.

She turned over and climbed up from the bed in a depressed mood, walked to the closet, looked at the clothes inside, carefully selected them, put on the styles she thought Xianren would like, and walked straight out of her room.

Looking at the empty living room, she didn't know when her mother would come home, and she was too lazy to leave a note. Even if she came home after dark, she would definitely be home earlier than her mother.

bang——

The door was closed, and he locked it with a key before heading towards Xianren's apartment.

During the 20-minute journey, Saionji Sekai was also thinking about how she would deal with Kento's family if she met them at Kento's apartment. Should she call them "Auntie" or...

Feeling a little conflicted in her heart, she walked up the stairs and slowly came to the door of Xianren's apartment. After hesitating for a while, she stretched out her hand and pressed the doorbell.

Xianren, who happened to be taking a break, turned his head to glance at Setsuna beside him.

The girl slowly opened her right eye and glanced at the sitting sage, but did not react at all.

He reached out and picked up the shirt beside him, put it on himself, and then put on his pants. He slowly walked to the door, inserted the security chain first, then opened the door a crack and looked towards the door.

"A wise man?"

"...It's the world. Come in."

He casually removed the security chain at the door, opened the door, and let Xiyuanji Sekai enter his house.

Just as she entered the world of Saionji inside the house and was about to change her shoes, she looked down and saw another pair of shoes at the door that did not belong to Xianren. She raised her head and glanced into the house and saw the pair of fair white feet lying on Xianren's bed, swinging up and down.

"........"

The other party's identity flashed through her mind. Standing at the door, Sekai Saionji looked at the clothes she had carefully selected, then looked at Kento and Setsuna in the house, bit her lips - and walked into the house with a determined look!

There is no reason why she can't do what Setsuna can accept and do!

Half an hour later——

"Wait! Stop, ugh! Stop for a moment!!"

"what happened?"

"I, I'll take a break. Setsuna, you come..."

"I'm still resting."

"B-But, I already... No! Wait, wait!"
