I won't be a loser.

I woke up early and came to the private school. After entering the school, I saw Pingtian who was already there and greeted him. Then I went to the seat where I was yesterday, sat down, opened the question book in front of me, and started my day in the private school.

"Do you know anything about the university entrance exam?"

When the other students had not arrived yet and only Kento was there, Tsubota walked slowly to his side while he was reading a book and asked him about his knowledge of the entrance exam.

"Comprehensive subject, and a short essay?"

"That's right, but it's mainly divided into two categories. One is the central examination organized by the 'University Entrance Examination Center' under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the other is the individual examination held by individual universities themselves."

"Those prestigious universities basically require students to take the central exam before they can take individual exams, right?"

"While this is generally true, some private universities, such as Rikkyo University and Sophia University, which you are planning to apply to, do not place particular emphasis on the results of the Central Examination. They do not require you to pass the Central Examination in its entirety; you only need to complete the designated subjects."

Kento also understood what Tsubota meant.

"Compared to public universities, it means it's a little easier, right?"

"But the individual exams for private universities are also a huge test. The comprehensive subject is a big hurdle, followed by the essay. If you want to get in, you have to work hard."

"Ah."

While the two were chatting, other students gradually came to the private school. Tsubota also began to guide other students with their homework. Kento continued to read the book in front of him. Although he chose the liberal arts direction, he could not avoid comprehensive science during the exam.

There is still enough time, just take your time...

At about ten o'clock, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. The wise man, who was reading the short essays written by others and learning from them, was a little surprised and took it out to take a look.

Sawamura.

He put it back into his pocket and continued reading the essay.

During the lunch break, the cell phone in his pocket began to vibrate non-stop. Xianren, who was sitting in the restaurant, sighed and took the cell phone out of his pocket. He looked at the messages on his screen and gently pinched his eyebrows.

"? 』

As soon as the message was sent, the other party stopped immediately.

But then the phone rang. The wise man, who was sitting in a secluded corner, did not hide anything and answered the call directly.

"whats the matter?"

"I'm going to the Comic Market's summer festival on Friday, so come help."

"time and location."

“Come to my house Thursday afternoon and go straight to the venue.”

"I see."

After the brief conversation, Xianren hung up the phone, sighed, and checked the calendar. Friday was only two days away. Tomorrow was Wednesday.

"The day after tomorrow afternoon?"

I closed my eyes and thought for a while. It seems that I didn't have much time to go to the private school during those two days. Besides...

Looking at the hung up call, the blonde girl couldn't help biting her lips with her fangs, feeling a little annoyed in her heart. She didn't expect the other party to hang up the phone so decisively, especially since she hadn't contacted the other party for a long time and the other party never took the initiative to send messages. Ying Lili couldn't help but grab the pen in her hand.

"He must be with his little girlfriend, damn it!"

Suddenly losing her mood, Eriri stood up, took off her green sportswear, put on her casual clothes, put on a baseball cap, and hurriedly left her room.

"Where to go?"

Sayuri, who was drinking coffee in the living room, looked at her daughter who was hurriedly kicked out of the house with a surprised expression.

Given Eriri's dislike of going out, and the scorching weather outside, she felt completely out of place for suddenly rushing out of the house like this.

"I'll be out for a while, and I'll be back soon!"

"......"

Looking at her daughter who had disappeared from her sight, Sayuri, who was sitting in the house, helplessly withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.

"The way she's dressed doesn't look like she's going to meet her boyfriend. Instead, it looks more like she's going to follow someone. I'm worried about this kid."

Sayuri took a sip of coffee and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

"Are you going to meet that boy named Miyamizu?"

When she recalled Ms. Qingpu again, the expression on Sayuri's face became even more subtle. After thinking for a while, she shook her head gently and stopped thinking about those things.

Her daughter is already not young anymore, so she has no reason to interfere in these matters. She just lets the children handle it themselves.

She has taken care of her daughter for such a long time. If she continues to care about her in everything, it is unlikely that her daughter will become independent given her personality. It would be better to just watch her grow up slowly, and then help her when she can't hold on.

"She's at the age where she should be independent, Eriri. Why don't you let her move out on her own?"

After thinking about my daughter's personality, I decided to let her move out. I don't need to consider anything else, but the simple issue of hygiene would be a headache.

I already had a vague picture of a disgusting room in my mind.

I sighed in my heart and decided to move out.

With the scorching sun overhead, Eriri's forehead began to sweat not long after she walked out of the house. Wearing a coat, she walked all the way to Kento's apartment, but all she saw were the closed doors and windows, and it seemed as if the person was not at home.

"......"

Hesitant in his heart, he slowly came to the entrance of his apartment, walked down the stairs to the door of Xianren's apartment, stared at the closed door in front of him, reached out and pressed the doorbell button.

Ding-dong-

Ding, ding dong——

Ding, ding, ding, ding dong——

She poked it a few times, but there was no movement in the house. Ying Lili, who was standing at the door, took off her baseball cap, wiped the sweat off her face, squatted down, leaned against the balcony wall, stared at the door in front of her with a lonely expression on her face.

"You're not home...where did you go..."

He slowly lowered his head, buried his face in the arms, and bit his lips tightly.

clatter--

clatter--

The sound of footsteps came up the stairs, gradually coming to Eriri's side and stopping.

"Are you...looking for the wise man?"

After coming out of the private school, he looked back at the private school behind him. Another day of study had ended. He sighed, looked in the direction of his home, was silent for a moment, and walked south as he did yesterday.

This is probably what men are like.

You know that someone is waiting for you at home, but you just can't muster the mood to go home. Instead of living in a spacious and comfortable apartment, you yearn for something strange and exciting?

Xianren wasn't sure whether it could be considered exciting, as Mito Yuge was not unfamiliar to him.

What are you looking forward to deep down?

The wise man, who had begun to lose his composure, came step by step to the door of the apartment. After opening the door, he sat down at the desk as he did yesterday. Looking at the books on the desk, he took out a book as he did yesterday, opened it casually and began to read.

As I flipped through each page that I didn't understand, the familiar yet unfamiliar characters, my eyes gradually became blurred and fuzzy.

The sky outside the window is still bright and clear. It's not even sunset yet. I sit quietly in this room, my fingers tapping lightly on the desk. An indescribable rhythm drifts through my mind...

There were footsteps outside the house, the sound of a door opening, and the sound of someone entering the house.

"Good afternoon, sage."

The voice of a girl greeting.

He gradually woke up from the world he was immersed in, and slowly turned his head to look at Mito Yuge who was standing at the door changing shoes. The familiar girl seemed so strange to him. He closed his eyes and opened them again.

The girl was still the same girl, but the world had become a little brighter. Colors converged in front of her, and the bright light, from the silent black and white of her own world, was dyed with the girl's colors, becoming gorgeous.

After speaking, Mito Yuge did not receive a response, so she looked at Xianren and noticed the gleam in Xianren's eyes.

He was clearly looking at her, but he was not really looking at her. It was as if he was observing the world through her. Mito Yuge did not disturb the other person's thoughts and quietly began to tidy up her room.

I woke up early in the morning and took a rare break from my work. Now that my part-time job is over, I still let my room be messy. I always feel a little shy in front of the wise man.

The wise man did not say anything, but just quietly observed the girl in front of him, watching her clean and tidy up the room, watching her walk back and forth in front of him. He just looked at her, but did not feel the slightest bit of boredom.

When Mito Yuge finished her busy work and stopped, Xiancai slowly stood up.

He came to the window, closed it casually, drew the curtains, and looked at Mito Yuge who had come to his side. He stretched out his hand...

As the lights came on, the sage walked slowly on the road, looking at the surrounding scenery, his eyes were much clearer than before.

Are you tired?

I don't know why, but I didn't feel like speaking at all, so I just remained silent.

I returned to the door of my apartment, took out my key, and just as I was about to open the door, I noticed that there seemed to be a small note stuck on my door.

I tore it off and took a look.

"I'm back. Come to my house."

The signature is 'Kiyura Setsuna'.

He looked down at the key he had taken out, then at the note in his hand. After a moment of silence, he opened the door and entered his room.

I turned on the light, went into the bathroom, dried my hair, and put on my clothes.

After feeling a little refreshed, he left his apartment and ran into his neighbor who seemed to be returning from get off work.

"thanks for the effort."

After greeting each other, he left down the stairs.

Takimoto Hifumi was a little surprised and astonished. She looked back at the boy's back as he left. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she watched the boy's figure disappear. She turned her head to glance at the other person's residence next to her, lowered her head, and walked towards her room.

I arrived at Qingpu's house, rang the doorbell, reached out and gently opened the door, and found that the door was not locked.

He entered the house, put on his slippers, and came to the living room. Seeing Qing Pu Mai tidying up, he turned around and pointed in the direction of the door.

"Don't leave the door open for me in the future. In the summer, there are many more crimes than in the winter. Please be careful."

"Yeah, that's why I have a spare key."

Qingpu Mai thought for a moment, walked to her own room, and handed the spare key to Xianren.

Looking at the key in front of him, Xianren hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it, put it in his pocket, and looked towards the living room, but did not see Setsuna.

"Where's Setsuna?"

"My own room."

"That's it."

She nodded and walked towards Qingpu Setsuna's room. Qingpu Mai looked at Xianren's back and always felt that Xianren didn't seem to be in a good mood today. She didn't know what had happened.

"By the way, about the private school..."

Just as he remembered something about the private school, before he could ask, he saw Xianren enter Setsuna's room.

He shook his head and thought that there was still time to ask after the wise man came out.

He pushed the door open and entered Setsuna's room. He saw Setsuna sitting in the room reading a book. Xianren came to her side and took a look at the book in her hand - "stead"

Women's magazine.

Xianren was not sure what kind of female impurities it was, but it was probably a magazine about fashion.

"I met a girl today. She seemed to be looking for a wise man."

"girl?"

There aren’t many girls who know their home addresses, but there aren’t too few either.

"Which one?"

"blond."

The word 'which' is a little concerning, but Shanshan doesn't care about it. He has already prepared himself mentally, so he doesn't care about such a small matter.

blond.

Among the people Xianren knew, there seemed to be only one girl with blonde hair.

“She…”

I sighed. After the text messages and phone calls, did I go directly to his house to see him?

"Did you talk about anything?"

"The fact that Xianren is very popular in school, and that she likes Xianren."
