I won't be a loser.

"You're not the last one, and there's something seriously wrong with this world. Is it about to end?"

After hearing Yoshii Akihisa's words, Sakagami Yuji revealed a deep pensive expression. That solemn look made Yoshii Akihisa, who was rarely at the bottom of the list, feel like crying. Was he destined to be at the bottom of the list in his opponent's eyes?!

"That's too much! In Yuuji's eyes, don't I deserve a good grade?!"

"If being second to last can be considered a good result, then it seems I need to readjust my evaluation of you, Mingjiu."

Watching the two of them bantering energetically, Xianren felt a little emotional. He took out his water cup from his desk, took a sip of water to relieve his thirst, and looked at the two people beside him.

"It's almost vacation time. If your grades aren't up to par, you'll have to come back to school for make-up classes during the summer. Mingjiu, are you ready?"

"Uh!"

"He's been busy finishing games lately, so how could he have time to read? I was thinking of going to the beach with him, but it seems like there won't be any chance. By the way, Xianren, do you want to go with us then?"

Yuji Sakagami stared at Akihisa Yoshii with a malicious smile on his face. Seeing Yoshii Akihisa's unconvinced look, when he was about to open his mouth to refute, he set his sights on Xianren and extended an invitation.

"beach?"

"When it comes to summer, the first thing that comes to mind is the beach and surfing, right? There will be a lot of young women there, right? Aren't you interested in beautiful women in swimsuits?"

swimsuit.

Xianren's mind also flashed with the images of the photo albums he had seen recently on the Internet.

But to be honest, he is not very interested in swimsuits. It would be better to say that he is not very interested in those types of clothing that are extremely revealing. He is a relatively conservative person at heart.

"Hideyoshi will be there too."

He had no interest at first, but when Sakagami Yuji added that Kinoshita Hideyoshi would also go to the beach with them, Kento's expression suddenly became serious.

"That seems worth looking forward to, but I've already made plans to go back to Gifu for a while during the summer vacation. I won't be staying in Tokyo for long, and I might not be back until closer to the start of school."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Just contact me when the time comes."

"Too."

Let's just agree to go to the beach together, but whether we go to the beach at that time depends on whether Xianren has time.

"Youth cannot wait. When summer vacation comes, you must enjoy it well. This precious youth is precious."

Sakagami Yuji patted Kento on the shoulder, then dragged Yoshii Akihisa out of the classroom.

Watching the two leave the classroom, Kento began to think about his plans for the summer vacation. Originally, he only had to stay in Ito for a while, but now it seems he also has to consider going to the beach to sunbathe with Hideyoshi.

First of all, he didn't have any special hobbies, although Hideyoshi was very cute. Secondly, he didn't have any special hobbies either. He was just a little curious about what clothes Hideyoshi would wear.

"I'm a little bit looking forward to it."

I think traveling with Yuuji and the others would be quite interesting.

On the other side, Eriri, who was sitting in her seat, did nothing, but clearly heard the conversation between Kento and Sakagami Yuji from behind. She couldn't help but think about her plans for the summer vacation.

"Just now, Miyamizu and the others seemed to be saying that they were going to the beach when summer vacation came?"

"Ok?"

Hinami Aoi at the next table suddenly looked at her, causing Eriri, who was thinking about her summer plans, to look at her as well. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"It seems so, what's wrong?"

"It sounds like it's really interesting. Should we go to the beach together? The two of them seem a bit bored. Why don't we just contact them and go to the beach together?"

"them?"

Hinami Aoi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Eriri still pretending to be stupid.

"Of course it's Miyamizu and the others. I think it's going to be fun."

"I...don't care."

She originally wanted to refuse and be reserved, but after thinking about it, she did not reject Hinami Aoi's proposal. She turned her head away from Hinami Aoi's sight and fell into silence.

Seeing her reaction, Hinami Aoi felt a little helpless. Such a flat reaction made her feel that something in her heart seemed not to be what she expected. Her eyes fell on the Nakano sisters in the distance, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought...

Cherry Blossom Season: 206. Holidays and Selections

The scorching sun outside shone through the window onto the table. The moment Xianren placed his hand on the desk, the scorching temperature made him wonder if he had been burned. The moment he raised his palm, beads of sweat appeared on the palm.

July is coming to an end unknowingly, and the first semester of school is about to end. I just finished the final exam the day before yesterday, and today I came to report to school. Summer vacation officially begins in the afternoon.

After looking at his final grades, he found them not to be excellent. He was ranked in the top ten in the class, but he was not sure whether he was in the top fifty in his grade.

"It's time to arrange the schedule for the private school. If we continue like this, it will become quite dangerous by the time we reach the third year."

Staring at his grades, Xianren casually put it into his schoolbag. Looking back, he saw Yoshii Akihisa sitting dejectedly in his seat, while Sakagami Yuji patted his shoulder with a smirk on his face, as if to comfort him, but also as if to stimulate him. Xianren couldn't help shaking his head after hearing what he said.

He turned around and looked at Umetaro Nozaki, who was sitting at the table behind him. The other person had his hands on the table and looked a little dull, no different from usual.

"Do you have any plans or arrangements for the summer vacation?"

"I don't have any particularly complicated plans. I might go out and visit other places to relax a bit, and use it as material for my comics. But I haven't decided on a specific destination yet. What about you?"

Like everyone else, Umetaro Nozaki is not completely uninterested in taking a holiday. At least it frees up a lot of time for him to concentrate on drawing comics and have more time to rest and catch up on sleep.

"I'm going home to visit Itomori's hometown. I'll probably stay there for a week or two, then I'll go back to Tokyo and sort out other things."

"I remember your hometown, Miyamizu, is Gifu? The Sekigahara area from the Warring States period should be very interesting. I'm a little interested."

"If it was the Battle of Sekigahara, it's now almost a pastoral landscape, no different from any other place. The only thing worth seeing are probably the ancient ruins of those generals. If you want to go, it's best not to have too high expectations."

Some people are interested in Gifu. He shouldn't say that this is a bit "KY", which means he can't understand the air and atmosphere. However, as a person living in Gifu, Xianren also once went to the ancient battlefield of Sekigahara in the prefecture, but all he saw were green mountains and fields, and there was nothing to see at all.

For people who have lived in cities for a long time, it might be interesting, but for people who originally lived in a place like Itomori, Xianren felt that it was just scenery that could be seen everywhere, without any sense of history at all.

"Armor?"

"No."

"Broken spears and weapons?"

"No."

"......"

After receiving a somewhat disappointing answer from the wise man, Nozaki Umetaro fell silent. He felt as if there was no point in going to Gifu anymore. His impression of Gifu only remained at the Battle of Sekigahara...

After waiting for a while, Shin Fukuhara arrived at the classroom. He talked about the final test results and informed some points of attention related to the summer vacation. When the bell rang, he raised his head.

"Well, that concludes the first semester. Please take good care of yourself during the summer vacation. That's all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the classroom. The students who stayed behind suddenly became agitated. Some began to cheer, some quietly packed up, and some started talking about where they were going in the afternoon.

After saying goodbye briefly to a few people he was on good terms with, Xianren left the classroom directly and went to the laboratory. He found Futaba Rio in the laboratory. Her expression was calm, no different from usual. She was shaking the test tube in her hand, and no one knew what was inside. When he arrived at the door of the laboratory, Xianren stopped and reached out to knock on the door gently.

Rio Futaba glanced towards the door and saw Xianren appearing in front of her. Looking at Xianren who was only wearing a shirt, her eyes couldn't help but fall on his collar. He was obviously dressed normally, but the delicate white collarbone that was faintly visible at the collar made her fascinated and distracted.

"Is there something on my collar? Is it dirty?"

Following Futaba Rio's gaze, Kento couldn't help but lower his head, staring at his chest and shoulders carefully for a while, but he didn't see any particularly conspicuous stains.

"Nothing, it's after school today, what are you doing here?"

"It's because school is about to end, so I came to see you. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come to school, and the time we spend together will be much less."

"Wouldn't it be a lot easier?"

"why?"

Futaba Rio glanced at Xianren who was still pretending to be stupid, and did not point it out clearly. She lowered her head, shook the test tube in her hand, and put it back on the shelf.

"Are you planning to stay here all summer?"

“Most of the time.”

"I plan to stay here for a week. After a week, I will go back to Itomori. I may stay in Itomori for two weeks."

Thinking about spending the entire summer here alone, Futaba Rio's mood became a little depressed, but looking at the smiling Kento beside her, she couldn't help biting her lips and turned her head away.

"It has nothing to do with me."

The wise man standing at the door walked into the laboratory and came to the girl's side. He opened his arms and embraced the girl in his arms. He lowered his head and buried his face in her shoulders and hairline. Smelling the fragrance of the girl's hair, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Let go, if someone sees us..."

"Normally, not many people come here. Even if someone sees me, it's no big deal. I don't mind."

"..."

She didn't struggle hard, just moved a little. After hearing what Kento said, Futaba Rio still let Kento hold her. She lowered her head to look at the hands around her waist, feeling the warmth in his arms. Actually... she didn't hate being hugged that much.

"do you have time tomorrow?"

"No."

"the day after tomorrow?"

"......"

I made an appointment with Rio Futaba to go shopping and date together during the holidays.

Xianren walked out of the laboratory, but was not in a hurry to leave the school. He walked all the way from the laboratory to the building where the club was located, and went up the stairs step by step. Because he had been notified in advance, he arrived at the activity room of the astronomy club and saw Feng Xiaochun sitting in the club.

"I thought you had forgotten about Xiaochun after chatting with that science girl for so long."

"Even if I forget my own name, I will never forget the promise I made to you. I will come to meet you even if I forget your name, even if I lose my memory, because I am so happy to see such a lovely Xiaochun."

"You are not allowed to forget Koharu!"

Walking to the table, looking at the frowning girl, the wise man stretched out his hand and lifted the hood covering her head, revealing her fluffy silver hair.

"It's summer now, but you're still wearing a hood like this. Aren't you feeling hot?"

“Yes, a little, but it’s okay.”

Looking at the air conditioner blowing cold air and then at the open window, he realized that in the entire school, the astronomy club was probably the only club with such special treatment. Looking at the curtains fluttering in the wind, his gaze fell on the girl in front of him.

"Before entering this campus, I probably never imagined I'd become so close to the daughter of a board member. Should I be feeling a sense of fate, right?"

"Although Xianren has many shortcomings, for me, Xiaochun, meeting Xianren is the luckiest thing that happened to me this year."

Let Xianren sit down in her original position, and Feng Xiaochun sat in Xianren's arms. She was also very clear about how complicated the interpersonal relationship was with the young man holding her.

If you ask her if she really doesn't mind at all, then there must be an element of lying. She also had such expectations to be able to establish a relationship with Xianren and tell others openly that the two of them were dating, but she met Xianren a little late.

Maintaining the current relationship, without anyone else knowing, the virtuous man is willing to touch her, willing to hold her in his arms and smile at her, which has already fulfilled Feng Xiaochun's wish.

Excessive greed will only bring dissatisfaction from the wise man. Feng Xiaochun, who restrained her emotions in her heart, silently raised her face and looked at the wise man who was also looking down at her. She concealed some things from him.

"During the summer vacation, I might go back to Itomori for a while. I'll only be in Tokyo for about a week. Are you free tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"Well, let's go out for a walk together tomorrow. I'm not sure about any good date spots in Tokyo. It seems like it's already mid-July. Are there any suitable places for a date?"

"Odaiba?"

After hearing the wise man's question, Feng Xiaochun was silent for a moment. As for those dating places, he had basically seen them on TV programs, with introductions like "popular dating places". After hesitating for a moment, he gave an answer that he was not quite sure of.

I also wanted to see the wise man's reaction. I wondered how the wise man would react to my answer.

Feeling Feng Xiaochun's gaze, Xianren also recalled some of the things related to Odaiba in his memory. He had been there before, but basically did not stay there for long. He only passed by that place by chance because of some things.

But from what I heard from other people, that place seems to be quite popular, with many entertainment facilities, and it can be a good place for a date.

"Odaiba...it just so happens that the water cruise departs from Asakusa and ends in Odaiba, right?"

Suddenly remembering the experience of being invited to take a cruise in Tokyo, Xianren looked down at the girl in his arms and suddenly asked a question.

"Water cruise?"

Feng Xiaochun was not very clear about this, and she did not know everything about the things in Tokyo. Even though she had lived in Tokyo for such a long time, she did not know everything about Tokyo.

"Isn't it clear? Let me take a look."

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, used the browser to search for information about "Tokyo" and "water cruise", and found the answer he wanted.

"Are there round trips between Asakusa and Odaiba, and Odaiba and Asakusa?"

After looking at the route, Xianren looked at other relevant information. While he was still considering whether to start from Asakusa or Odaiba, he suddenly noticed a small detail.
