I won't be a loser.

After returning to her apartment, May entered the house and saw Yotsuba sitting alone in the spacious living room. She was lying on the sofa reading a comic and stuffing potato chips into her mouth from time to time. When she heard the noise, she slowly raised her head and saw Nakano Satsuki returning home.

"Ah, you're back, May."

"Well, I'm back, where are the others?"

"They're mostly in their rooms. Nino is preparing dinner. It should be ready soon."

"I don't need that. I've already had dinner outside and will be back in my room soon. There's no need to call me for dinner."

Nakano Satsuki, who had already eaten in advance at the restaurant, was now feeling a bit full. Asking her to continue stuffing food into her stomach was obviously a bit too much. If she stuffed any more, it would probably not be eating, but the opposite...

Just thinking about it, Nakano Mayu felt a little nauseous. She shook her head and walked towards the stairs, ready to return to her room.

"and many more!"

The moment she turned around, Yotsuba, who was lying on the sofa, quickly sat up, leaned against the sofa, looked at May, and called her.

"Anything else?"

"Miyamizu-kun! When school was over, you and Miyamizu-kun left the school together, right?"

"........"

This incident was witnessed by many people. Under the watchful eyes of the public, it was useless to deny it. May nodded calmly and admitted it.

"what happened?"

"Did you talk about anything with Miyamizu-kun?"

Facing Yotsuba's curious gaze, Mayu was silent for a moment, then told Yotsuba half of what she had talked about with Kento today.

"I asked him and Ichika if anything happened, and got a somewhat surprising answer."

"An unexpected answer?"

"If you want to know, go ask Ichika or Miyamizu-kun. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Cherry Blossom Season: 157. Stop making weird noises

The tagline for that thing is 'Erection-inducing Deliciousness'.

A hot dog stained with ketchup and mustard, gently wrapped in wheat-colored bread and topped with lush green lettuce—a hot dog burger priced at 198 yen.

The price is not expensive, but in Xianren's opinion, the taste of this thing is really average, a thick piece of bread with a hot dog in it, that's all.

While it was a good choice for filling one's stomach, it was really unnecessary for the wise man who had to prepare dinner as soon as he got home. He was completely uninterested in this.

"It's so delicious that it makes me... so excited."

Seeing the convenience store clerk blushing for some reason, whispering the slogan in a trembling voice, and putting the hot dog burgers into a plastic bag, Xianren suddenly became interested. He walked up to her, ordered a hot dog burger, and also ordered a "pillar-supporting delicacy".

When I saw the waitress in front of me, who was so shy that she almost buried her whole face in the collar of her clothes that looked like the buttons could pop off at any time, and said, "Sir, your delicious...erectile and...delicacy is a pillar-lifting delicacy," I felt what "the joy of harvest" was.

Satisfied with the hot dog burger and sausage, he left the shopping street.

"Hey, if you became a father, Xianren, would you like girls or boys?"

I was originally wanting to sigh about Saionji Sekai's increasingly mature dressing style, from the original solid cotton to the current lace mostly in black and purple. I hoped that she would not forget her original intention and return to her original style, but suddenly I heard her say this, and I was stunned.

His gaze couldn't help but slowly fall on Xiyuanji World's fair belly. The tightly furrowed brows, the narrowed eyes, and the serious expression made Xiyuanji World fall silent.

"You...are pregnant?"

That heavy and serious gaze fell on Saionji Sekai's face, causing her to put away her playful thoughts and quickly shake her head. She was a little afraid of such a wise man.

"No, I just wanted to ask casually, Xianren, do you like girls or boys?"

The somewhat skeptical look lingered on Saionji Sekai's face for a moment, and when he found that the girl seemed to be just asking casually and had no signs of concealing anything, Xiancai breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his clothes on the ground, and walked towards the bathroom, answering Saionji Sekai as he walked.

"Considering my family's opinion, a boy would definitely be better, but I'm not so particular about gender. Both boys and girls are fine."

He walked to the bathroom door and casually threw his clothes into the clothes rack. Then he turned back to the living room, looked at the clothes in his closet, picked one and put it on himself. Then he came to the edge of the bed and looked at Saionji Sekai who was sitting on the bed and listening to his answer carefully.

"But at this stage, I have no intention of having children. I have no problem supporting myself now, but taking care of a child is still a bit of a stretch. I don't want to give birth to a child and then have nothing guaranteed."

"A wise man has a strong sense of responsibility, and it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl?"

When Xianren said that it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl, Saionji Sekai was a little surprised. Even she knew that most people preferred their offspring to be boys.

"It makes no difference whether it's a boy or a girl. What's important is the education given by the parents. If the education is not good, it makes no difference whether it's a boy or a girl."

The in-depth thinking and the answers she got surprised Saionji Sekai, who had never thought so deeply. Looking at the maturity that did not belong to his peers when Xianren answered, she was a little absent-minded, staring at the person she liked in fascination, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"That's a rather unusual answer. Most of my peers haven't thought as deeply as you, have they? Could it be that you've also considered being with Setsuna..."

Saizoji Sekai spoke in a hesitant manner, and stopped halfway through her words.

"When I was in Itomori, life was very boring. Apart from watching TV and reading, I would just stare at the sky. So, I spent most of my time thinking about my future. After seeing the joys and sorrows of the people around me, I began to understand these things."

He looked at Saionji World with calm eyes. In the aftermath, Xianren was very calm at the moment, and answered Saionji World's questions with patience.

Most of the time, his answers are always "probably", "perhaps", "possibly", "never mind" and "nothing", a series of perfunctory and ambiguous answers.

"Observe your surroundings?"

Saionji Sekai was lost in thought, and a strong curiosity arose about the place where Kento had lived since childhood.

Facing the curious gaze of Saionji Sekai, Xianren just calmly sat down at the desk, looked at his desk, took out the manuscript from the drawer, and continued writing.

It is basically impossible to increase one's income by relying on "The Stigmatized Angel". With an initial edition of 6,000 copies, unless a miracle happens, don't expect to achieve the sales volume of those best-selling popular works.

If it could reach ten... no, twenty thousand copies, even a wise man would call it a miracle.

So now the only thing he can rely on is his job. Even though he is a little tired of sensuality, he cannot deny that most people are chasing after and addicted to this kind of work, and 70,000 to 80,000 words are enough to sell, and an attractive title will increase sales.

For the purpose of income, it is of course the best choice. He has been familiar with this aspect for a long time and has a set of templates of his own to apply. It is easy for him to publish two or three books a month.

"It's sold as a paperback edition, and the price is around 7-800 yen per copy..."

Based on his past experience, he had a rough idea of the sales and potential profits of his erotic novel, but the problem lay in negotiating a deal with the publisher for the sale. Someone had to handle some of the issues, and he, a minor...

Even though Qingpu Mai had agreed to help him deal with these matters, he felt that it was inappropriate for her to do so since Qingpu Mai herself had a job.

It is not impossible for him to negotiate with the other party in the name of Kiyoura Mai and accompany him. While Xianren was thinking about it while sitting in front of the desk, Saionji Sekai walked into the bathroom, came out, put on her clothes, came to Xianren's side, and looked at the desk.

"This? A new work?"

"I had originally written this book, but then I thought of other topics, so I put it on hold. Now that the other one is finished, I'm going to continue writing it. It's about 50,000 to 60,000 words long now."

"Sixty or seventy thousand words?"

Saionji Sekai looked at the thick stack with some surprise, thinking about the 600 to 800 words she usually wrote, which was completely not on the same level as what Xianren was writing now.

She found it very difficult to write just a few hundred words, and she felt she would be tortured if she were asked to write tens of thousands of words.

"These onomatopeia... feel a bit strange. What are they about?"

"Whispers in dreams."

Putting down the pen in his hand casually, Xianren put the manuscript into the drawer, looked at the Sekai Saionji in front of him, stretched out his hand, touched her head, took out a small ball of hair from her hairline, and threw it into the wastebasket beside him.

"I'm going to check on Setsuna's. Do you want to come with me?"

"It's almost time. I should go home."

Saionji Sekai, who also understood some meaning from the wise man's words, tactfully said that she had to go home, came in front of the wise man and closed her eyes.

chirp——

Looking at the Saionji World leaving contentedly, Xianren sat in his room, took out the contents of the drawer again, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"I really need to buy a computer. It's not very convenient to do anything without one."

After a moment of silence, Xianren casually stuffed the manuscript back into the drawer, stood up silently, left his apartment, and went to Qingpu's house...

"Even if you want to keep a distance from me at school, but you only keep a distance from me and don't care about intimate behavior with other people, isn't that a bit too much?"

Xianren, who was dragged to the rooftop, looked at the girl with twin golden ponytails in front of him and sat down on the bench helplessly. He looked at her legs, at the absolute area between the black stockings and the short skirt, and through the gap between her fair legs, he looked at the green netting on the rooftop opposite with a look of absent-mindedness.

The other party didn't have this kind of personality before. Feeling that the Kento in front of her was a little different from the image she had in her mind, Eriri walked up to her, stretched out her hand, grabbed his collar, but was casually pushed away by Kento.

"You're not very close to anyone else, are you?"

"Going to the lab every day at noon with the genius girl, isn't that close enough?"

"It's just a casual chat, a pure relationship between a man and a woman. Don't think of it as something dirty."

"Haha, when I thought you were innocent, what did you do to my mother? Don't you have any idea in your heart?"

After hearing Eriri's answer, Xianren couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the girl standing in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly, raised his index finger, and shook it gently.

"At the time, Sayuri was single, and so was I. What's wrong with single people liking single people? Using the expression 'something was done to Sayuri' is not only slandering me, but also insulting Sayuri."

"Yeah, you think it's normal to fall in love with the mother of your classmate and friend?"

"There's nothing I can do. I just like it."

"So, why are you seeing other women now?"

Looking at Eriri in front of him with strange eyes, Xianren couldn't help but smile subtly, which made Eriri realize instantly that she had said the wrong thing.

"So you want me and Sayuri to continue dating and not let anything you don't want happen again?"

“…No, that’s not what I meant.”

"My father would definitely not approve of what's going on between Sayuri and me. Even if I recall the past, it won't help our relationship. Unless you want to repeat what happened in the past, don't do it again."

"You know that's not what I meant!"

"Of course I know you don't mean that, but what can I do if I'm with you?"

Eriri bit her lips and stared at the wise man in front of her. As the past faded away, she no longer had such deep hatred, but only a complex intertwined emotions. She didn't know what she was pursuing now.

"Haven't you thought it through yourself?"

The wise man sitting on the bench no longer paid any attention to the girl in front of him. He stood up, walked towards the stairs, and disappeared on the rooftop.

As he entered the classroom, he was stared at by curious eyes again. Even though some people had already noticed that Eriri was interested in him, everyone in the class still couldn't understand their relationship, and was very curious about Kento's emotional state.

However, those who know the specific situation are not the kind of people who like to talk too much, which is why it has always remained a mystery.

"Does Kaiyingsha publish erotic works?"

"what?"

When Mari Kazeoka was dealing with the final details of the publication, after they finished discussing the specific content, Kento suddenly asked a question, which made Mari Kazeoka, who was sitting at the table recording the content, stunned. She hesitated and thought she had misheard.

"Canon?"

"No, the adult function."

"No, no, no, um, Miyamizu-kun, you're still a minor, right?"

When she confirmed from Kento's mouth that the 'Kannou' was the 'sensual ability' that she knew, she couldn't help but feel confused. Recalling the mature, calm and handsome young man she saw when she met Kento, and then listening to his answer at this moment, she fell into confusion.

"Maybe I have a special talent in this area."

"No, no, no, this isn't a talent thing, right? Selling this kind of content to minors is a crime! A crime!"

"But I'm creating, not selling. Isn't selling your problem?"

"That's right... But Miyamizu-kun, you're a minor, right? Even if a minor doesn't have any exposure to this kind of stuff, they can still create..."

"I have a girlfriend."

"Ah, ha...I see...But even so, Miyamizu-kun is still a minor. Sorry."

The words "I have a girlfriend" almost made Mari Kazeoka, who was immersed in work and had been using work to numb herself, sink to the bottom of the world at the end of the year, without being able to avoid the pressure from her parents who were urging her to get married.

Fortunately, after going through so much work experience, Mari Fukaoka was able to keep her composure and gave her answer with a subtle mood.

"The main reason is that we at Kaiyingsha don't have any business in this area. We do run regular publications, but content like this isn't within our scope of business development. So... even if Miyamizu-kun meets the requirements, we can't publish the work you're talking about."

"The profits in this area are not low. Why not set up a subsidiary to run this business?"

"This is something that the leadership and management above need to consider. I'm just an editor. This isn't part of my job description, and I don't have the authority to participate in discussions on this."

"Well, then, I wish you a speedy promotion, Ms. Fuuka. Is there anything else you would like to discuss?"

"Nothing."
