I won't be a loser.

There was some resistance at first.

But as time passed, under the care of the two maids, the expression on Futaba Rio's face gradually softened. She felt the comfort in her ears and no longer cared about Kento's affairs.

It's hard to describe what the feeling was like. Resting his head on the maid's legs, with her ears carefully cleaned, Xianren quickly emptied his mind and quietly enjoyed it...

At the end, I still felt a little unsatisfied, but after taking a look at the price, Xianren was also a little emotional.

"Do you often go to places like that?"

Futaba Rio, who was walking beside Kento, suddenly asked a question. She had this doubt in her mind since she came out of the store.

"Huh? No, if I went there often, I wouldn't have lost the way just now."

"........"

"It's okay to go to a place like that occasionally, but going there frequently isn't good for your ears."

“It’s very expensive.”

"It's not bad, it's only 6,400 yen for two people."

"Is this okay?"

"3,200 yen for half an hour is definitely not cheap, but it's still pretty comfortable, isn't it?"

Is that comfortable?

Futaba Rio glanced at Xianren, too lazy to interrupt him.

Cherry Blossom Season: 212. Set a small goal and you will be able to use it next time.

It is inevitable that it will be a bit hot in the summer. I returned to my apartment early and couldn't calm down even after sitting down. I stared at the computer in front of me for a long time, and I still felt inexplicably upset in my heart.

"No wonder animals choose to reproduce during this period. Just sitting here, I feel like I have no time to think about anything else. It's true..."

Staring at the document in front of him, Xianren no longer had the heart to write any more. He had already begun to recall his days in Itomori and wanted to return to Itomori as soon as possible.

Setsuna finished the test today and doesn't need to go to school anymore. His grades are probably excellent, so there's no possibility of him staying in school for tutoring because of failure. Even if it's triggered tomorrow, it's not impossible for him to go back to Itomori.

"It's still a little early."

Although I could go back directly to Itomori, I feel like it's not appropriate to go back right now.

Staring at his computer gloomily and feeling a little annoyed, the doorbell rang at the door. Xianren, who was sitting at the desk doing nothing, couldn't help but lean back, lie on the chair, look in the direction of the door, slowly stand up, and walk towards the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a girl in her school uniform in front of me. There were beads of sweat on her face and her long hair was stuck to her face. It was obvious that she must have been in a hurry on her way here.

"I'm already sweating, there's no need to rush out of school."

The girl was allowed to enter the air-conditioned room. She took off her leather shoes and put on her special slippers on her delicate little feet wrapped in pure white and soft socks. She reached out and slowly untied the tie at her collar, closed her eyes, and felt the cool air in the room. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the wise man who had already poured the cold tea.

"The test is over. You don't have to go to school starting tomorrow."

"Well, we can start preparing. In two days, we can leave for Itomori."

Looking at Xianren's indifferent reaction, she, who had been suppressing her emotions deep in her heart, couldn't help but bite her lips, walked in front of Xianren, opened her arms, and hugged Xianren tightly.

Suddenly being embraced, he lowered his head to look at the girl who had raised her face. Her eyes were full of anticipation, no longer suppressing her emotions. The sage lowered his hands and gently embraced the girl in his arms...

Perhaps it was because they had been suppressed for a long time and had not been very intimate since the final exams. It might also be because they didn't have to go to school tomorrow and the long vacation had begun, the girl's reaction became much more passionate and intense than Xianren usually imagined.

From five in the afternoon, when it was still a sunny day, to the dusk around seven, and even until eight or nine in the night, neither of them felt the slightest bit tired.

During this time, they even received a call from Qing Pu Mai. After saying "OK", the two of them quickly put the matter behind them. It was not until late at night and near the early morning that they were completely exhausted and lay drowsy on the bed.

When he opened his eyes and looked at the person sitting on him, Xianren's expression was helpless. He rubbed his forehead and face with his hands, and felt that his somewhat stiff face became a little softer. He raised his hands.

"Let me go get a glass of water first."

"Ah."

I got up, sat up in bed, and walked to the edge of the bed, then I saw the piles of tissues on my floor, as well as the pink umbrellas that fell outside the wastebasket because I wasn't very accurate. The smell in the room felt a little turbid even with the aromatherapy.

He casually picked up a piece of clothing and put it on himself. Xianren didn't expect that Setsuna had such a crazy side.

I poured a glass of water, took a sip, and felt myself 'wake up'. I walked to the window sill, opened the curtains a little, opened the window casually, leaving a small gap to let air into the room, and then pulled the curtains up again.

Looking at the girl lying on his bed, the wise man walked over and gently patted her fair body. The girl, with her eyes half closed, looked at the wise man standing beside the bed.

"I didn't have dinner yesterday, so it's almost time to get up."

"Ah."

"It's...ah, it's already ten o'clock."

To be honest, I don’t know what to do. Looking at the hands on the clock, Xianren, who was originally thinking about preparing breakfast, found that he could now prepare lunch.

"I'll prepare lunch. You can go to the bathroom and wash up first. Also, clothes..."

He glanced at the scattered clothes at the foot of the bed. Some of the clothes still had some stains on them. At the same time, some girls' underwear and socks kept in his house were also more or less damaged. They had to be cleaned with scissors first and then thrown into the trash bag for disposal.

"It needs to be dealt with."

“Hmm… Yeah.”

When I was lying on the bed, I was quite active yesterday, but today, I found that I had become completely powerless and didn't even want to move while lying in bed.

"A little pain."

"Ok?"

"That's too rough down there, sage."

"......"

Thinking back to what happened last night, he felt that he was fine, except for Setsuna... He wanted to stop and rest, but she suddenly turned into a vise, tightly wrapping her hands around his waist, without stopping for a moment.

"Come to think of it, I need to drink more water."

"My bad. Leave the useless ones there for now. Throw the useful ones in the washing machine. Also, the sheets need to be washed."

"Um......"

She felt a little tired and didn't want to get up, but Xianren had already spoken, so she sat up silently and threw the clothes in the room into the washing machine. As for the torn and damaged clothes, she left them where they were and went into the bathroom.

I looked at the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator and found that they were enough to prepare lunch for two people.

While Setsuna was in the bathroom, Xianren quietly prepared lunch. After about half an hour, when Setsuna came out of the bathroom, Xianren had almost finished preparing lunch.

"It'll take about ten minutes. You should get dressed first. There are some clothes for you in the closet. As for the sheets... forget it, I'll take care of them later."

The clothes in the washing machine also need to be dried, but given Setsuna's height, it might be a bit difficult, so it's better for him to do it.

Sitting in the living room and looking at the lunch on the table, there was not much meat, basically all vegetables, which made Shanshan very satisfied. Now, she had no interest in meat at all. On the contrary, she would feel a little nauseous just imagining it.

"Mom, did she say anything afterwards?"

"Hmm? No more. I guess I guessed something, so I stopped contacting you."

He got up and returned to his bed. He picked up his cell phone and took a look at the message on it. Qingpu Mai had only sent a text message.

"Let's exercise some moderation."

"......"

In response to his mother's instructions, Shanshan simply picked up the dishes with an expressionless face and did not make any comment.

In the afternoon, I hung up my bed sheets directly on my balcony. There was space there, so I just adjusted my DIY clothes drying rack a little and hung up the bed sheets and quilt covers easily. All that was left was to wait for them to dry.

On hot summer days with long days, even if you start drying it at noon, it will be almost dry by evening.

They were so indulged yesterday that Xianren and Shanshan didn't know what to do in the afternoon. They just sat quietly in the house, Xianren sat at the desk and Shanshan sat in Xianren's arms. Since they had nothing to do, they started watching some videos on the Internet.

"Playing a prank on a sleeping sister," "Requesting 'let me see OO' to my sister," "Will test scores improve or deteriorate if all the girls in the class wear swimsuits?", "Making a sauna out of 800 hot packs."

Maybe she revealed some special fetish. When she was watching the series of videos about 'sister', she suddenly raised her head and stared at Xianren for a while while sitting in his arms.

"No, there's nothing else to it. I'm just a little curious and want to see how his sister would react."

Setsuna did not completely deny Xianren's answer, but silently withdrew his gaze and looked at the video in front of him. For most people who don't have a sister, the sister's reaction in the video might be quite interesting, but Xianren just thought about Mitsuha's possible reaction. If he did such a thing to Mitsuha, he would probably get punched a few times.

The other sister's reaction was not very gentle, but compared to Sanye, it was still much gentler, probably because she was facing the camera.

After watching for a while, I started watching other people's videos.

Xianren was very interested in some videos, but Shanna was not very interested. She just watched for a while and then lost interest. Xianren looked at Shanna's reaction and handed the mouse to her.

But when Setsuna took control of the mouse, he saw more videos related to the city, such as videos with titles like "Top Ten in Tokyo" and "Must-See", videos about efficacious shrines related to love, and videos like holy places for dating, which were completely different from the types of videos that Kento watched.

The difference probably lies in that what the wise man sees is only for fun, while what the moment sees is for application in life.

For example, it is unknown when those famous tourist spots can be used as date locations. Xianren’s understanding of Tokyo is not very deep, but he can use this as a reference.

Therefore, when watching the videos ordered by Setsuna, Xianren was also quite serious and learned some things that he didn't know about Tokyo.

"Compared to these, I'm actually a little curious about the luxury properties in the city. I just saw a headline about an apartment with a monthly rent of 59 yen. That seems pretty impressive."

"too expensive."

"Well, given my current situation, I can't afford the rent for a year, or maybe I'm not working hard enough."

Sitting in Xianren's arms, Shanna couldn't help but look at the expression on Xianren's face after hearing Xianren's words. He found that Xianren's expression was calm, as if he thought from the bottom of his heart that he was not working hard enough, which made Shanna not know how to describe his mood.

In just a few months, or even less than half a year, he had already earned what the average adult or salaried worker would earn in almost a year, or even more. From a high school student's perspective, this was already quite remarkable, yet here he was saying he wasn't working hard enough...

Similarly, Setsuna was also a little emotional. There were actually such expensive apartments. An apartment with a monthly rent of 59 yen was obviously not something that an ordinary family could afford. People who could live in such an apartment must be quite wealthy, such as company presidents or bankers.

He wanted to comfort Xianren, but looking at Xianren's bright eyes that seemed to have a clear goal, Shanna didn't know how to start and was silent for a while.

"If you want to settle down in Bunkyo-ku, you need to have at least 30 million yen in assets. You still have to work hard and probably write ten more books with sales similar to what you're doing now before you can afford it."

"Three months, ten books, that would take thirty months, or nearly three years?"

After making an estimate in his mind, Shanshan was a little unsure. It was not because the time was too long, but because he felt that three years was too short. He could achieve this goal by the time Xianren graduated from high school.

"The ideal timeframe is probably around three years, but if things don't go smoothly, it might take even ten years to achieve this goal. I was just a little bit luckier this time, and I'm not sure if I'll be as lucky in the future."

The wise man did not become complacent because of this smooth sailing and think that his work was so outstanding that he did not take other people seriously.

Without the recommendation of Matsuko and the chance encounter during the street interview, his first publication would never have been as smooth as it is now. I'm afraid the initial 6,000 copies could only be achieved with difficulty, and even now, his sales are only in the five figures.

Setsuna actually didn't have a clear idea of how much Kento's royalties were. She just had a vague idea that he made a lot, probably around a million yen. But from Kento's answer just now, she realized that it was not just a few million yen, but an income of three million yen.

Sitting in the boy's arms, the girl's heart was greatly shocked. She couldn't help but think in her heart how she could become someone who could always stand by his side.

Cherry Blossom Season: 213. Ask her opinion

Being alone, one might feel lonely, but with Shanna by his side, no, sitting in his arms, Xianren did not feel bored. When he felt a little tired of watching the video, he would lie on the chair and start stroking Shanna's long hair with his hands.

He wanted to braid a beautiful braid for his lovely girlfriend, but he found that he had no experience in braiding hair. A pigtail was fine, but if he wanted those beautiful braids, he didn't know how to continue after pinching a strand of hair in each hand.

He gave up the idea of braiding the girl's hair, closed his eyes, and listened to the subtle movement of the curtains in the breeze through the window. In his heart, he began to imagine the scene of himself returning to Itomori.

"Mitsuha should be at home by then. Setsuna and I returned to Itomori with our luggage. The first thing I had to do was clean up my room, and then sleep in the same room with Setsuna. I wonder if Mitsuha will come to peek at us at night..."

Noticing some unusual movement, she was watching the video attentively. She couldn't help but look down, then turned back to look at Xianren who had his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking about, and bit her lips lightly.

"Want it now, sage?"

The wise man, who had his eyes closed, woke up from his imagination after hearing Setsuna's words. He looked at the girl's gaze coming towards him, felt a little discomfort under his body, lowered his head, and seemed to understand the meaning of Setsuna's words.

"No, that's okay. It's just a normal reaction after relaxing. And yesterday I was already very... I need to be a little careful. Excessive frequency can also have an impact on the body."

"Ah."

After hearing Xianren's answer, Shanshan didn't say anything else and continued to watch the video silently. As for Xianren's reaction, it gradually calmed down after a while.

"Today is the 23rd. Let's wait until the 25th and then set off for Itomori."

"The 25th?"

I thought it would be later, probably on the 27th, or the moment of departure on the 28th. After hearing the words of the wise man, I paused the playing video and looked back at the wise man.

The moment he felt his neck twisted and a little uncomfortable, he moved his body, from facing the virtuous man with his back to sitting across him, facing the virtuous man's cheek, and looking at him with his eyes.

"Well, go back early, otherwise Sanye will keep harassing me with phone calls in the next two days."
