I won't be a loser.

"I am back."

"Ah."

"Welcome back."

Facing her boyfriend who appeared in front of her, Kiyoura Setsuna's reaction was not excited. She held the miso soup in her hand very steadily, and there was no tendency to "accidentally" spill it on Kento's face. Ogiwara Sayu looked at the girl opposite her, and then glanced at the boy who was sitting steadily.

She couldn't help but feel a strong sense of distortion in her heart. She didn't understand what kind of girl could face her cheating boyfriend so calmly, and how could a cheating boyfriend face his girlfriend so calmly.

Feeling the wonders of the world, and also wanting to ensure that she would not be affected, she responded cautiously, then lowered her head and ate quietly, trying her best not to be noticed by the two.

"why?"

"I originally planned to return in the evening, but because it was so popular, it sold out quickly. I didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so I said goodbye to them and went home."

"Didn't she try to stop me?"

"Yes, I did have that intention, but I rejected it. I have no interest in her."

"I understand."

Kiyoura Setsuna did not ask any further questions and had his lunch quietly. Ogiwara Sayu seemed to have heard some subtle conversations. The information contained in it was a lot, but it was not very detailed, so she could not guess the specific picture.

Looking at the two people who had little to say, he lowered his head quietly and remained silent.

The room fell into silence for a while. When Kiyoura Setsuna put down the dishes in his hands and Ogiwara Sayu just finished her meal, the atmosphere became even more solemn.

"I, I'll clean it up."

Ogiwara Sayu stood up. She was embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with such a situation. She picked up the dishes on the table and prepared to leave the center of the atmosphere. The other two did not respond. They watched her stand up and then looked at each other.

Men have a natural resistance to explanations. They don't like to explain, but sometimes they still have to explain.

"Want an explanation?"

Qingpu Setsuna did not answer, but just looked at him quietly, then slowly lowered his head.

"unnecessary."

"So what did you talk about this morning?"

"Do you care?"

"Because it may be related to what happens next, I'm asking."

"Are you going to keep her?"

"I've been thinking about this a bit. Since she's temporarily homeless, leaving her to wander the streets alone isn't a good idea, right?"

"I understand. Then, let her live in my house."

Sayu Ogiwara, who was washing dishes at the kitchen counter with water in the sink, couldn't help but look up after hearing the conversation between the two people. She looked at the two people sitting in the room. She never expected that their communication would be so...peaceful?

Besides, this is something related to her, right?

Don't you even ask her what she thinks?

"What do you think, Ogiwara?"

"Ok?"

But when the two turned to look at her, Ogiwara Sayu couldn't help but hesitate. She stared at the two of them for a while, and then looked at Kiyoura Setsuna.

"Well, well, as long as I have a place to stay... so..."

"Then let her live in your house. I need to go to private school every day and don't have much time to take care of her. Maybe she can get in touch with the world."

"I see."

"Um, you guys..."

"You probably don't have much income to support yourself while you're away from home, so I'm considering introducing you to a job during this time. If you feel tired, you can choose to go home."

"..."

Xianren turned around and looked at the girl with no expression on his face. When Qingpu Shunna was around, he was usually in this state, and he couldn't help but behave like this.

But the girl who was washing dishes was stunned after hearing the wise man's answer. She didn't expect that the other party was going to introduce her to a part-time job?

"Is it okay?"

"I have no problem with this. As for whether the other party will agree, it depends on whether they are short of people. It also depends on their intentions."

After looking at Ogiwara Sayu and then at Kiyoura Setsuna, Kento found Saionji Sekai's contact information in his address book and called the number he hadn't contacted since he returned from Itomori.

With the curtains drawn over the windows, she hid in a dimly lit room, staring at the phone in her hand, watching her favorite author's new chapters and the development of the plot. This made Saionji Sekai immerse herself in the story, thinking that one day she could become the heroine herself.

"I really want to lie down with Xianren, hold me, kiss me, kiss my face, my eyes, and then say to me affectionately 'I love you'——"

Just like boys long for skin contact with their goddesses, girls also have extraordinary expectations for the boys they like, hoping that the other party's white fingers like scallions can fall on her body, hug her tightly, and feel the warmth between each other.

"The Princess and the Prince—ah—"

Hugging her quilt and tossing and turning in her bed, Saionji Sekai felt extremely empty in her heart. Even if she shouted at her pillow, it did not reduce the loneliness in her heart.

I was supposed to meet up with my good friend today and go shopping with Qingura Setsuna at Qingura's house. However, when I was about to get up at noon, I couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in my heart, so I gave up the idea of getting up and stayed in bed for a while longer.

Lying there, reading a novel on my phone for a while, I felt even more miserable and tormented. I wanted to rush to Xianren's house right now and beat him hard while he was lying on the bed.

Buzz————

buzzing————

The sound of the cell phone vibrating next to the pillow gradually brought Saionji Sekai back to her senses. With messy hair, she turned her head to look at her cell phone, lifted the hair from her forehead, and looked at the person who suddenly contacted her.

"A wise man?"

Seeing the familiar name, she couldn't help but be surprised. Not knowing if they had telepathy, she answered the phone.

"A-ah, um, Sage?"

"The world?"

"It's me, what's wrong?"

"I have something I want to talk to you about. Do you have time now?"

"Yes... no, I'm a little busy. If it's something important, I can find a way to rush it. Is it something important?"

Although he had nothing to do at the moment, in order to show his importance and his respect for the wise man, Saionji Sekai paused for a moment and changed his wording.

"It's not particularly important. If you have time, come over to my place. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Eh? Home? Wait a minute, I'll get ready and come over shortly."

"your business?"

"It's almost over. It will be done soon. It won't take too long. You can come here soon."

"Then, I'll wait for you at home."

"Ah."

Restraining her excitement, thinking of the sudden appointment with the wise man, after the other party hung up the phone, Xiyuanji Sekai hurriedly stood up, left her room, and went to wash and comb her long hair.

After hanging up the phone, Xianren looked at Qingura Setsuna beside him.

"It should be here soon."

"Ah."

After cleaning the dishes, Ogiwara Sayu didn't know what to do, so she sat down quietly. The three of them sat around the table in silence.

About an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Saionji Sekai gently opened the door and when she looked inside, she showed an expression of confusion, bewilderment, puzzlement, and deep loss at the scene in front of her. She opened her mouth and looked at Kiyoura Setsuna who was standing at the door, and Kento beside her, a strange girl, and fell into silence for a long time.

He entered the house silently, keeping quiet.

She had specially chosen nice clothes and entered the house. When she sat down on the remaining seat, there was a faint fragrance. Ogiwara Sayu turned her head and glanced at the other person, then lowered her head silently, while Kento and Kiyoura Setsuna understood everything in their hearts.

"Hmm...haha, they're all here. I thought Xianren was the only one here...who is this?"

She spoke awkwardly, and Saionji Sekai's expression was very stiff. It was always like this. She thought she was alone with Kento, but her good friend Kiyoura Setsuna would always appear in front of her at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end.

She shouldn't have any expectations.

"Ogiwara Sayu is someone who will be staying here temporarily."

"Oh... huh?"

Saionji Sekai nodded disapprovingly, but after a moment she realized that she seemed to have heard some unexpected discoveries, and looked at the girl beside her.

"Stay?"

I turned around to confirm with Kento and Kiyoura Setsuna and found that they both nodded.

Her expression became a little tense, and she was silent for a moment. She turned her head to look at the strange girl next to her. Her eyes became serious, and she observed the girl in front of her. She bit her lips, and her "ferocious" expression and eyes made Ogiwara Sayu embarrassed.

"She left her home due to some issues and has nowhere to stay for the time being, so she's staying here. But after thinking about it, she's alone and has no one to rely on, and no income to live on, which is a very difficult situation. So I wanted to ask, is your restaurant still short of waiters?"

"Ha...So, it's all about this?"

"That's about it."

With a lost look in her eyes, Saionji Sekai looked at the girl beside her again. Seeing the girl who didn't dare to look into her eyes, she pursed her lips and sighed.

"Okay, I understand."

He silently took out his cell phone and called his mother.

"It's me. Is the restaurant still short of waiters?"

"It's not really in short supply, what's wrong?"

"Introducing someone to work here, maybe short-term or long-term."

"That's no problem. Are you coming over today?"

Saionji Sekai did not answer and looked at the other three people in the room, while Kento and Kiyoura Setsuna looked at Ogiwara Sayu.

She bit her lip and nodded slightly.

"Oh, I'll be right here."

"Then let's try it in the restaurant first."

"Yeah, I'll be there in a minute."

After hanging up the phone, a brief conversation confirmed the interview. The four people sitting in the room looked at each other, and Xianren was the first to stand up.

"Now that we've made the call, let's head to the restaurant."

"Ah."

Ogiwara Sayu slowly stood up, but her brows couldn't help but furrow slightly. Last night...it was only one night, and she hadn't fully recovered yet. When she walked, she still had some trouble...

When the Summer Cicadas Chirp: 248. The Girl with a Broken Heart

The four people in the apartment all chose to go to the restaurant. Sekai Saionji and Sayu Ogiwara were definitely going, while Kiyoura Setsuna had nothing to do. Kento thought that he had some responsibility in this matter, so he followed them to the restaurant.

For Xianren, it was not possible to meet Saionji Yuko alone. The other party's personality was too "passionate" and he could not bear it.

If I were to meet her alone, I might have to lie in bed for two or three days before I could barely recover.

The group took the subway, and on the way to the restaurant, Sekai Saionji briefly introduced the situation of her restaurant to Sayu Ogiwara who was standing beside her, and told her some things that needed attention. His eyes fell on Sayu Ogiwara, and seeing that she didn't have any manicures, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"She seems like an ordinary girl, so why would she leave home and live in such a strange house..."

Saionji Sekai thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't understand what the situation was that would make a girl leave her home. This matter had little to do with her, so she didn't think about it too deeply.

She didn't think Xianren would be interested in a girl like this whose background was unknown.

There is no denying that this girl named Ogiwara Sayu is very cute, but her cuteness is very limited, that is, on an average level, with 10 as the standard, she is around 6.5 points.

As for the three girls here, Qingpu Setsuna and she are not much worse than the other one. Even these two girls couldn't keep Xianren's heart. How could a girl who suddenly appeared like this do it easily?

Ogiwara Sayu listened to Saionji Sekai's instructions, wrote them down carefully, nodded, and then looked at Kento and Kiyoura Setsuna who was sitting next to Kento.

It seemed that no one cared much about her situation, which made Ogiwara Sayu feel a little lost for some reason.

"If the person I met first was Kiyoura-san... wouldn't that be..."
