I won't be a loser.

Seeing that Xianren did not refuse, Ichika turned her head slightly and looked at Nino who was not far away. After meeting her sister's eyes, she narrowed her eyes complacently. Nino suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Well, if Xianren can recognize me, can he recognize the other four people in the class?"

"Nino with her princess-style hair, Miku with her long hair covering her eyes, Yotsuba with her medium-short hair, and Satsuki with her ahoge hair sticking up."

After hearing Nakano Ichika's question, Xianren raised his hand and gently pointed to the locations of the other four people, and at the same time accurately said each other's names and characteristics, which made Ichika stunned.

It was nothing to recognize her alone, but I didn't expect that there was actually someone who could accurately recognize all five sisters on the first day they met.

But then he stared at the wise man in front of him, couldn't help but smile strangely, narrowed his eyes, put his face close to the wise man's ear with a narrow face, and whispered softly -

"The wise man is paying so much attention to us five sisters. Could it be that he wants to...sisters and sisters don't eat?"

Cherry Blossom Season: 41. When you feel lonely, you can come to me

The gentle tone, accompanied by whispers, and the humid warm wind floating in the ears, the content of the words made the innocent boy blush after hearing it.

Such a bold idea, even if a boy has such a fantasy in his heart, he would never say it out loud casually. But it was simply said by the girl next to him. Even a wise man would have to admire Ichika's boldness.

However, he had had this thought before.

At this original point in time, he was just an ordinary high school boy who had just arrived in Tokyo and had no feelings for Sayuri. After entering a new environment, meeting new classmates, and learning about the Nakano sisters, it was normal to have some fantasies, right?

You could say he was vulgar, but at that time, he did think about whether dating one of the five sisters would trigger some special side story, leading to a 'Harem' ending like 'Five Lovers'.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. When he was planning to date a random girl in the class, he inexplicably fell in love with the mother of a girl in the class, thus leading to a 'bad' ending.

"That sounds good."

Xianren looked at Nakano Ichika beside him and expressed his opinion on her guess.

"Oh wow, that's really bold."

Nakano Ichika was also stunned for a moment. Looking at the wise man in front of her, she couldn't help but smirk. She hadn't expected someone to dare to answer her directly. It's not like she hadn't used such words to tease others before, but she always got a "No way!" or a simple blushing silence.

A young man like the one in front of me gave his answer directly. I don’t know if it’s because he is not worried about causing some strange rumors, or if he is simply naive?

"But I already have a girlfriend, so forget it."

Blinking, Nakano Ichika looked at the boy in front of her, tilted her head slightly, and showed a confused expression.

"Did I hear something wrong just now?"

"He's a very cute kid."

"Kid...Excuse me, how old is your girlfriend?"

I originally thought I had misheard, but when I heard the boy in front of me's comments about his girlfriend, I couldn't help but widen my eyes and look at the boy in front of me, as if I was ready to call the police if something went wrong.

"We're both first-year high school students at the nearby Sakakino Academy."

Nakano Ichika felt that something seemed to be wrong, and she carefully recalled her understanding of the boy in front of her. He seemed to have come to Tokyo from Gifu, and had lived in Gifu, Sekigahara before high school.

Does this mean that the other person got a girlfriend during this short spring break?

"Um... Kento, you haven't been to Tokyo since high school, right?"

"I just arrived in Tokyo a week ago."

Looking at the young man in front of her with a smile on his face, Nakano Ichika admitted that she had misjudged him. She had thought he was a pure and beautiful boy from a remote place, but she didn't expect him to be a ferocious carnivore who had a girlfriend in just a week.

Staring blankly at the young man in front of her, Nakano Ichika was silent for a moment, not knowing how to describe her feelings at the moment.

"In just one week, you got a girlfriend?"

Looking at the girl who looked a little bit unbelievable, Xianren could roughly understand her shock.

Even among adults, unlike those who can go in and out of love hotels within two hours of meeting each other, most high school students are still relatively conservative, especially those who have just entered high school.

Even if it took a month from knowing each other to dating, it would be considered natural for them at this moment. However, starting dating within a week was still a little beyond the imagination of the girl in front of them.

"No, it took two days, maybe three. Since we lived nearby, he took the initiative to confess his feelings to me after getting to know me. Although I was a little surprised, I only started dating him after getting his mother's consent."

Parental consent.

Nakano Ichika looked at the young man in front of her and fell into complete silence.

Not knowing what to say, she raised her right hand and gave a thumbs up to the wise man in front of her.

"How's it going? Did you succeed?"

Nakano Nino had a faint smile on her lips as she looked at Nakano Ichika who seemed a little dazed. She didn't know what kind of blow she had suffered. She had always been energetic, but now she had such a blank expression.

Hearing Nino's voice, Ichika looked at Nino who was supporting her chin with one hand, and was silent for a moment. Her eyes moved slightly, and she regained her usual spirit. She narrowed her eyes, looked at her sister in front of her, and smiled evilly.

"It's a shame he doesn't like girls like me. But it's quite remarkable that he recognized all five of us sisters after just one self-introduction."

"Did you recognize the five of us?"

Nino glanced at Ichika and felt a little surprised.

"I just asked him to identify them, and he didn't make any mistakes. He also clearly understood the characteristics of each person. Also, I asked him if he was interested in us sisters, and he said he was more interested in you, Nino."

Trying to suppress his smile, Ichika couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

I had previously asked if they were interested in the five sisters, and they had shown some interest.

There's nothing wrong with telling Nino that I'm interested in her now, right?

There is weirdness.

He glanced at Ichika in front of him, then glanced in the direction of Kento, noticing that the boy seemed to be looking out the window again, staring suspiciously at Ichika who was grinning wickedly in front of him.

"You're lying to me."

"No, no, I'm really interested in you. If you don't believe me, just ask and you'll know."

"........"

Nino didn't believe it, but she didn't really ask. She just ignored Ichika. As for Ichika, she gave a sly smile and slowly returned to her table.

There shouldn't be any problem in playing a little prank on your sister, right?

perhaps.

From the opening ceremony to the end, Xianren, who was sitting in the classroom, got to know most of the classmates again, or at least he was already at the level of knowing them.

Nozaki Umetaro, who was sitting at the table behind him, didn't have much communication with him, but he was a wise man who knew the other person's personality and profession well, so he didn't care too much.

When school was over, I walked out of the school, but I didn't see Setsuna.

"Didn't your girlfriend come to see you?"

Ichika suddenly appeared from behind Xianren at some point and chuckled at him.

"She has already started school. Since the two schools are quite far apart, we probably won't see her going to or leaving school."

"That's a shame. If you're lonely, you can ask your sister to keep you company."

Looking at Ichika making the scissors hand gesture, Xianren stared at her for a while and nodded slowly.

"I will consider."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gradually walked away. As for Ichika, he looked at Xianren's back as he left and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"He won't take it seriously, will he?"

Cherry Blossom Season: 42. Takasu Ryuji: Take care of yourself, my friend

Sekai Saionji and Setsuna Kiyoura left school. Because they received a text message from their mother, Sekai Saionji and Setsuna Kiyoura did not stay together as usual. They let Setsuna go home alone, and Sekai Saionji rushed to her mother's restaurant to help.

Although the store has recruited staff working in the store, on some busy days, Sekai Saionji will be called by her mother to help in the restaurant.

As usual, she entered the restaurant from the back door, went all the way to the studio, put on the restaurant's work clothes, and when Saionji Sekai was about to go to the restaurant's lobby to help with work, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of her mother's office.

"Should he be in the office now?"

I wanted to find my mother to confirm my work for the day, and meet with Yuko Saionji to tell her that I had arrived at the store.

"I don't know why it happened so quickly."

But just as Saionji Sekai arrived at the door of the office and was about to push it open, she heard a familiar voice at the door - the voice of Setsuna's mother, Kiyoura Mai.

"Last night, when Setsuna came home, she asked me when she and her partner would get married. I casually asked, and she told me that they were going to 'graduate' together this weekend..."

"Wouldn't it be better to just stop it?"

Saionji Yuko's voice also rang out. Saionji Sekai, who was standing outside the office, was filled with confusion and puzzlement in her mind. She couldn't help but move closer to the door and quietly listened to the conversation in the office.

"No matter how you try to stop it, since you've already agreed to their relationship, this day was bound to come sooner or later. It's just a matter of sooner or later. I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Kiyoura Mai covered her forehead with her hands, feeling a slight headache and not knowing how to deal with her daughter's affairs. After finishing work, she hurried to Saionji Yuko's restaurant like last time and found Saionji Yuko to discuss.

Rather than a negotiation, it would be more accurate to say that it is simply expressing one's inner sorrow to the other party.

"So you've given up completely?"

"Setsuna loves someone so much. Compared to my own feelings, what I should do is to prevent Setsuna from getting hurt, right?"

"So what did you come to talk to me about today? Just to tell me about the progress of your daughter's love life and whether it has reached the point of reaching home plate?"

Saionji Yuko looked at Kiyoura Mai in front of her, somewhat confused about what she was thinking. As for Kiyoura Mai, she bit her delicate lips, remained silent for a long time, and sat down on the chair helplessly and discouraged.

"Knowing your daughter is 'graduating', it's impossible to remain completely indifferent, right? If Sekai found a boyfriend and was ready to go straight to base within a week, would you be able to pretend you knew nothing?"

"We're already in high school. Whatever happened shouldn't be a big deal, right? Didn't you and I have a daughter when we were both in high school?"

Saionji Yuko didn't care much. Even if she didn't forgive the man, it meant that she couldn't accept that her daughter was in love during high school and had something happen with the person she liked.

Standing outside the office door, Sekai Saionji listened to the conversation inside the office, her mind in a mess.

"Is Setsuna going to 'graduate' with Miyamizu-kun?"

......

"Long'er?"

A voice sounded behind him. Takasu Ryuji, who was walking on the way home, seemed to hear someone calling his name and looked back.

"Xianren? What are you wearing? Has school started yet?"

Kento was walking home from school when he met Takasu Ryuji walking forward at the intersection.

"School just started today, haven't you started school yet?"

"Not yet. School doesn't start until next month, which is about a week away. You guys are starting school really fast."

Takasu Ryuji, who hadn't seen Kento for a while, looked at Kento carrying a schoolbag and wearing a school uniform. Even though the school uniform was not very good-looking, it was still quite eye-catching on Kento, which made Takasu Ryuji a little envious.

He didn't expect to be particularly handsome, he just hoped that his eyes would be less vicious.

"You're not going home, are you? Are you going somewhere?"

"Today, there's a sale going on at the mall, so I'm going to buy some daily necessities. I have some coupons that are about to expire, so I need to use them. Do you want to join me?"

"A promotion?"

Xianren thought about the ingredients in his refrigerator. He bought a lot of them when he and Long'er went out last time, and there were still some left.

But it was a promotion after all, so he couldn't just pretend he didn't hear it. Even if he didn't buy anything, he could at least add some ingredients.

"Okay, let's go shopping together."

"Here, this is a promotional voucher."

Takasu Ryuji took some of the coupons he had received from his last purchase from his pocket and gave them to Kento. Kento didn't hesitate, thanking him and taking the coupons from him. Together, they walked towards the shopping street...

There were still some ingredients in his refrigerator, but when he followed Takasu Ryuji into the supermarket and saw the discounted and promotional products, and the fresh ingredients, Xianren still couldn't control his hands.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already bought a bunch of ingredients, vegetables and fruits, and was following Takasu Ryuji on the way home.

"Is it really okay to buy so much? Is it okay for one person?"
