I won't be a loser.

hell.

Now it seems that the entire venue is already fully occupied by various stalls. After the opening, more people will flock in, and at that time, it will be an absolute hell.

"I'm going to check out other authors first and buy some doujinshi."

Eriri stood up and walked towards other stalls, leaving Kento and Sayuri Sawamura sitting in front of the stall.

Sayuri Sawamura shook the folding fan in her hand and looked at the boy beside her. A strong curiosity gradually emerged in her eyes. She didn't understand why she cared so much about this boy.

"The dream at that time..."

Noticing that Sayuri Sawamura was looking at him, Kento turned his head slightly and looked at her beside him. The other person's eyes were still the same as when they first met, and the look in those eyes was shining with a fascinating light.

"Is...something wrong?"

After asking this question, Sayuri Sawamura, who was distracted, gradually came back to her senses. She looked at the boy in front of her and opened her mouth slightly.

It was like she had dreamed about the boy in front of her and had some strange feelings towards him... She should have been indifferent and wanted to tease the boy in front of her, but for some reason, she suddenly felt conflicted and inexplicably shy and concerned.

"Would you like some water? We'll be sitting here for a long time today."

"No, I drank some water. I still have to go to the bathroom later. That's it for now."

"Ah."

A silence followed, and until Eriri returned, the two of them had no further communication...

It was the first time for me to have such an experience as lying in a stranger's home. I came to Tokyo with my brother. I left the apartment where I lived on the pretext of relaxing. Walking in the unfamiliar environment, the restlessness that had been accumulated in my heart suddenly burst out.

He took out his cell phone and threw it into the river beside him. Then he wandered aimlessly in this strange city, a city he was completely unfamiliar with...

Ding-dong-

The sound of the doorbell made the girl lying on the bed slowly open her eyes.

"It's morning already. He seems to have gone out?"

In the morning, it seemed that a girl came to his house before daybreak. What was his answer at that time?

Ogiwara Sayu, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed and couldn't remember clearly. She looked back at the bed...

"Really...it's all in the past, so it doesn't matter."

His face looked somewhat relieved, yet full of confusion. He sat up silently, put on the clothes the other party gave him yesterday, and wore slippers that were one size too big for him. He hurried to the door, opened it, and saw a strange girl standing at the door.

Is it strange?

Of course, she was a stranger and had no idea who the other person was. Ogiwara Sayu looked at the girl who was a little shorter than her and hesitated for a moment.

"Um, are you looking for the boy who lives here... uh, Miyamizu?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, a confused expression appeared on her face. She pursed her lips and looked at her calmly. Ogiwara Sayu didn't know why, but always felt a little guilty.

"Ah."

"He went out. Someone called him this morning. Are you his acquaintance?"

"girlfriend."

"..."

Ogiwara Sayu's heart suddenly became confused. She looked at the girl in front of her awkwardly, with a conflicted expression on her face.

"Sorry, um, I'm just staying overnight and will be leaving soon."

Looking at the girl in front of her, Shanna didn't answer at all. She just walked into the house quietly. Looking at the environment inside the room, the messy quilt, and the strong smell in the room, she sighed softly...

"I've already told Setsuna I won't be home today, so it shouldn't be a problem, right? That girl should stay after her clothes are dry, so will she stay or leave?"

The sudden instability in his peaceful life made the wise man's heart beat faster and he was full of interest in the unknown developments that he was not aware of.

"Will your girlfriend come over today?"

"Ok?"

Eriri's voice rang in his ears, and Xianren looked at the blonde girl beside him.

After hearing what her daughter said, Sayuri Sawamura's eyes couldn't help but fall on Eriri beside her. She never thought that her daughter would ask the other party so directly about the topic related to the other party's girlfriend.

"I don't know. I didn't tell her anything specific. I just told her that I would come to help you. I didn't talk to her about other things."

"Won't she be worried?"

The blonde girl frowned, and for some reason, she stood in the girl's shoes and began to consider Setsuna.

"why?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, the wise man smiled faintly and asked a question in return, which made the girl bite her lips tightly with her fangs and fell into silence.

Sayuri Sawamura, who was standing by, watched the two people talking and couldn't help but think in her heart. She was silent for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

The boy seemed to have no interest in his daughter at all.

As soon as the exhibition started, a lot of people flocked in. As a well-known doujinshi author, Eriri's pen name "Kashiwagi Eriri" has a very good reputation among doujinshi clubs and fans.

Many people come here for her works, not because they know the author is a woman, but simply for her works that are not suitable for children.

The wise man sitting in front of the stall looked at the people queuing up to buy, handed the works to them, and bowed politely like a service staff to thank them for their purchases.

In just one morning, more than 300 doujinshi were sold out. After handing the last doujinshi to the other party, Xianren felt sore in his back and waist. His hands, which had been resisting the doujinshi, were also a little numb. He sat on the stall, put up the word "Sold Out", and then sat on the chair in silence.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Sayuri Sawamura handed over a cup of water and looked up at it. Xianren hesitated for a moment and took the cup from the other person.

After unscrewing the lid of the cup, he found that it contained iced cold tea. The wise man, who had been busy and sweating for a long time, thanked the other party and poured the tea into his mouth. He felt refreshed all of a sudden.

"It should be fine in the afternoon, right?"

"We've sold out, so we don't have much to do this afternoon. I originally thought 300 copies would be enough, but I didn't expect it to be so popular this year. I'll have to prepare more next year."

"Next year?"

After hearing what Sayuri Sawamura said, Eriri did not seem very happy, and she did not seem to be very interested in whether to attend the exhibition next year.

The wise man standing by looked at the expression on the girl's face and said nothing. The three of them sat for a while. At noon, they simply packed up and left the venue without staying any longer.

"Let's have a meal together as a thank you."

Sayuri Sawamura invited Kento to dinner and he wanted to refuse, but after a moment's silence, he agreed.

Looking at the girl sitting next to him who looked a little depressed for some reason, he stretched out his hand, and just as he raised it, he slowly let it fall down again. He turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. The three of them arrived at Roppongi in the minato area. After parking the car, they entered a high-end Japanese restaurant under the guidance of Sayuri Sawamura.

After sitting down and ordering the food, Xianren suddenly felt something and stood up in the private room and left temporarily.

Seeing Kento's anxiety, Sayuri Sawamura understood and nodded, while Eriri watched him leave the private room and was about to follow him when she was stopped by Sayuri Sawamura.

"What are you doing?"

"Go see what he's doing."

"...Can't you see?"

"what?"

"He's going to the bathroom."

"..."

Kento hadn't said it directly just now, he just said he had something important to tell her and needed to leave for a while. Eriri hadn't thought about it too much, but now that she was thinking about it carefully, it seemed like it was indeed...

"You still have a lot to learn. You are still too slow when it comes to these things."

"I just......"

He wanted to refute his mother, but when he thought of his position in the relationship, he couldn't help biting his lips, picked up the teacup in front of him sullenly, and said no more.

Looking at her daughter, Sayuri was also a little surprised. She always felt that her daughter's reaction had been completely different from before since she entered high school.

After a while, seeing that Kento was still absent, Eriri also stood up.

"I'll go too, and I'll be right back."

"Don't forget the room."

"I remember the way!"

After he finished speaking, he walked to the door. When he was about to open it, just as he put his hand on the door, there was a loud "whoosh" sound, and he and Xianren stared at each other.

"Going somewhere?"

Looking at Eriri in front of him, Xianren slowly turned sideways and made way for the exit.

Looking at Xianren in front of her, Eriri bit her lip and left the room sullenly. Xianren looked at her back as she left, not knowing what had ignited her and why she reacted so impulsively.

Inside the house, looking at Sayuri Sawamura, he sat back in the seat he had sat in before.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. He picked up the teacup in front of him. As for the barley tea in the restaurant, he felt that it tasted pretty good. Compared with the cheap barley tea in the supermarket at home, it was obviously of a much higher grade.

"Miyamizu-kun."

"Ah."

"What do you think of Eriri?"

"It's a bit of a delicate topic. In what sense? From the perspective of a simple classmate, or from the perspective of a possible partner?"

“If possible, I’d like to know.”

No one expected the other party to be so straightforward. Even Sayuri Sawamura was surprised by the other party's straightforward answer, but she quickly calmed down and looked at the boy in front of her with some expectation in her eyes.

"As for classmates, although she's a young lady, she's not a bad person and is the type who keeps a distance. As for the person she's dating..."

In front of Sayuri Sawamura, he thought about this problem seriously.

"To the average person, Eriri is very good, with excellent grades. She's a little weak in sports, but for girls, sports don't really require excellence, so it doesn't really matter. The elites of the art club are like 'flowers of the highest order,'"

"But you don't seem to have much feeling for her?"

In front of Sayuri Sawamura, hearing her ask him what he thought of her daughter, Kento couldn't help but feel emotional as time passed.

The girl standing at the door, looking down at her black silk legs, quietly listened to the conversation inside the room——

"It's not that I don't have feelings for her, but there are some things that prevent me from being interested in her. She's a good person, but, precisely because she's a good person, I..."

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath. Xianren didn't look at Sayuri Sawamura in front of him. He was trying to calm himself down. He placed his hands on his knees under the table and clenched his fists tightly to calm himself.

Sayuri Sawamura didn't quite understand. She didn't understand why it was like this. When she heard the boy's trembling voice behind her, she also noticed that the topic seemed to be getting a little heavy, so she quickly changed the subject and asked about things related to today's venue.

Eriri stood at the door, dejected. Inside and outside the door, two different worlds...

Summer Cicadas: 247. Try it first, and keep it if it works for you.

Coming out of the restaurant, it was still the afternoon on the street. The warm wind made Xian feel sticky not long after he came out. Sweat slid down his forehead. He blew a breath softly and walked directly along the shadow under the eaves of the restaurant door towards the nearby station.

I originally thought that it might last until the afternoon, but I didn't expect that the help was finished in just the morning, which left Xianren with a lot of time.

"It seems like you won't need any help for the next two days?"

Tomorrow I can go back to the private school and continue my original life.

"I don't know how she is doing?"

Last night I extended a helping hand to the girl who ran away from home. I don’t know whether she is still resting or has woken up and chosen to leave.

As for the choice made by the girl, the wise man, who was not familiar with her, could not imagine the choice she made very well, but no matter what choice she made, it actually had no impact...

The temperature was too high, the sun was scorching the earth, and the high temperature gradually dulled the wise man's thinking. After taking two steps, his chest heaved and he began to breathe heavily.

He felt a little better when he got on the subway. When he arrived at the door of his apartment, Xianren was about to press the doorbell when he heard some movement inside the house, which made him slowly put down his raised hand.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on the handle at the door, pressing down lightly. Then he pushed the door open easily and saw the scene inside the house.

The young girl and the other girl were sitting quietly in the house having a meal. The moment he pushed open the door, the two girls sitting in the house turned their heads and looked towards the door.

The three people's gazes and facial expressions create a harmonious and peaceful picture.

"......"

Although he was completely stunned in his heart, the wise man kept a stiff expression on his face. He lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding the girl's gaze, walked into the house, closed the door gently, and then walked slowly to the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of iced tea.

After calming down, he came to the side of the two girls, sat down gently, and looked at the two people who were eating.
