I won't be a loser.

She understood a little bit, but Ogiwara Sayu still didn't quite understand.

Although he lives very close to Kiyoura Setsuna, isn't Sawamura-kun his classmate?

Theoretically, she is not much worse than Kiyoura Setsuna, not to mention that she is a young lady. I don’t understand why Kento didn’t choose Sawamura but chose Kiyoura Setsuna instead.

When the summer cicadas chirp: 280. It turns out to be——

Feelings are not a matter of one person, and it is not something that can be decided casually just because you have an idea.

Kento has a relatively clear understanding of his feelings for Kiyoura Setsuna in his heart. It's not that he has no emotional accumulation. He will feel worried and concerned about what happens to Kiyoura Setsuna, but it is still too difficult for Kento to put his heart completely on her.

"Sayu, are you willing to die for me?"

When the answering voice sounded in the room, Ogiwara Sayu's expression couldn't help but stiffen. Her eyes fell on Xianren, and she couldn't help but wonder why Xianren asked this question.

"You can't give an answer right away, right? But for Setsuna, this might not be such a difficult question. So, do you understand?"

Ogiwara Sayu still couldn't understand this explanation.

"This feeling is too heavy. My feelings for her are not as deep as her feelings for me."

Another supplement made Ogiwara Sayu seem to understand a little bit about Xianren's feelings for Kiyoura Setsuna. She looked at Xianren in front of her, seeing his calm expression, and opened her mouth, wanting to ask Xianren about her feelings -

She was unable to ask, as she knew the answer to the question in her heart very well, so there was no need to ask.

"Are you planning to go back to Hokkaido during the Spring Festival this year?"

"No, there are no such plans."

When she heard the name "Hokkaido", the name of a familiar place, Ogiwara Sayu's expression became gloomy. She had no good memories or impressions of that place at all. No matter how beautiful things were, they became gloomy after experiencing those things.

Maybe things are not always that bad, but for Sayu Ogiwara now, she is still unable to face what happened in the past calmly, let alone reconcile with those people and those things.

She didn't do anything crazy, she just didn't have the courage.

"So you plan to stay in Tokyo and spend the New Year?"

"Ah."

"I will go back to Itomori for a while, and then return to Tokyo three or two days before the New Year."

"The holiday starts on the 15th, and we'll be back in Tokyo three days before the New Year. Does that mean we'll be staying in Itomori for 13 days?"

After hearing what Ogiwara Sayu said, Ken felt that he seemed to have stayed in Itomori for a little longer. Compared to Itomori, he had already adapted to life in Tokyo a long time ago. After careful consideration, he decided that staying in Itomori for about a week would be enough.

"Not necessarily. I might return to Tokyo earlier. I'll go back to Itomori to tell my family that I'm fine."

"younger sister?"

"Ah."

After chatting briefly with Ogiwara Sayu about things related to the holiday, the two quickly ended the topic. Kento left her apartment and returned to his own apartment. Miyamizu Futaba had already prepared dinner.

The mother and son sat quietly at the table, without any special topics, and finished their dinner in silence.

Some time before going to bed, Miyamizu Futaba would call Itomori to ask about Mitsuha and Yotsuha's homework, and then ask about the health of her grandmother, Miyamizu Kazuha. After the greetings, she would contact Miyamizu Toshiki briefly.

The wise men who do not have those necessary contacts will sit in front of their computers, catch up on the latest news, and read some short essays and videos.

Late at night, Miyamizu Futaba fell asleep early. Xianren put on headphones on his right ear and watched a video for a while. Then he felt sleepy. He turned off the computer, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep quietly...

This time in Tokyo was really unfamiliar to Miyamizu Futaba, who had lived in Itomori for a long time, and she didn't know what to do every day.

During the time in the hospital, I basically waited in Xianren's ward, caring and taking care of him all the time.

Now that Xianren no longer needs care, Miyamizu Futaba, who is left alone, can only take a quick walk around and take a look at the environment her son lives in when Xianren is not at home during the day.

After a period of time, I had a general understanding of the difference between this city and Itomori.

"The people on the street are so indifferent."

Most people walked on the road in silence with their heads down. Even if she took the initiative to greet them, they would look at her in surprise, as if they were looking at some rare creature. Most people remained silent, and those who responded were only a minority among the majority.

He was in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to do something, and he was careless and unconcerned about everything around him.

I happened to see a child crying. Everyone in the car lowered their heads without even raising their faces, as if they were asleep. They were afraid of being associated with the child, and people kept a distance from each other that made people feel genuinely indifferent.

After a walk outside, Miyamizu Futaba suddenly lost interest in this city. She stayed in Xianren's apartment almost every day, reading the books he bought, and occasionally using his computer to watch videos on the Internet.

She had never had much contact with computers before, but under the guidance of a wise man, she still learned some basic usage.

At least I have learned how to turn on the power and open the browser.

As for video websites, you can just click on the sage's favorites and watch the recommended videos, which can be considered as entertainment.

Every morning, she tidies up the room and hangs up the clothes. When it is time to rest, she sits at the desk, turns on the computer, and looks at the video websites on it. This is probably Miyamizu Futaba's life at the moment.

Although such a life was somewhat monotonous, Miyamizu Futaba didn't dislike it at all. Until one day, she accidentally clicked the wrong place with her mouse, and the browser entered an indescribable website——

"This is...Xianren...that..."

Looking at the screen displayed on the browser, her face flushed. After a moment of silence, she moved the mouse to the place where the sage told her to close the webpage.

"......"

Originally, she only needed to click on it, but for some reason, she hesitated, moved the mouse away, clicked on a tab, and entered into it to read.

Covering her mouth and nose lightly with her left hand, Miyamizu Futaba looked at the content above, but felt her heart beating inexplicably faster. Compared with the TV dramas she watched, it seemed more interesting?

The wise man who was listening to the class suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart. He couldn't help but turn his head to look out the window, staring at the blue sky for a while, then silently withdrew his gaze and looked at the blackboard again.

'What happened?'

The wise man, not knowing what had happened, sat in the classroom, not understanding where his uneasiness came from.

Miyamizu Futaba, who was sitting in front of the computer, felt her mouth dry. After standing up hurriedly, she poured a cup of warm tea, took a sip, and sat down at the table again. She felt that it was inappropriate to continue reading like this.

But she felt very interested. She looked at the picture in front of her in silence for a while, and then she turned it off.

I prayed and repented silently in my heart for a while, and felt that I should have a good talk with Xianren about this matter again. He is still a minor and should not be exposed to such things!

So, when Xianren returned to his apartment after school and entered the house, he saw Miyamizu Futaba sitting in the living room, facing the door.

"Sir, sit down."

"..."

After hearing what his mother said, Xianren didn't know what had happened today, but he still obediently put down his schoolbag, walked in front of her and sat down.

"Today, I was using your computer and accidentally clicked on some things. Can you explain what those strange websites are?"

"..."

He originally thought it would be something serious, but after hearing what his mother said, Xianren's expression changed from a moment of confusion to surprise, followed by closing his eyes and sighing. He didn't know how to describe his feelings.

He had clearly moved those websites to the back, and generally, he wouldn't see them unless he touched the extension column.

Still not rigorous enough.

"Those are some of the more adult websites."

He didn't argue and was a little embarrassed, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with watching those things. It's normal for a normal single... oh, not quite single, but a boy living alone to be interested in these things, right?

"You're not yet an adult!"

"..."

When Xianren heard Miyamizu Futaba reprimanding him for not being an adult, he pursed his lips. He almost couldn't hold back his laughter. If he hadn't bitten his lips, he would have laughed.

Noticing the change in Xianren's expression, as well as the complete lack of remorse on his face, Miyamizu Futaba's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked seriously at his eldest son in front of him. The aura on his body made Xianren rub his nose lightly, and silently straightened his posture.

"sorry."

"You shouldn't touch those unhealthy things yet. Put more energy into those healthy things. But I don't completely forbid you. I hope you can pay more attention to the things in your life instead of these!"

"......"

The answer was almost predictable and not much different from what he had guessed. Xianren was not surprised and nodded quietly.

Looking at Xianren's unrepentant expression, Miyamizu Futaba couldn't help but sigh.

"Look less in the future."

"Ah."

Xianren had no problem with this. He rarely looked at those things anyway, probably only once a week. Sometimes he forgot, so he might only look at them once a month.

His life is already very fulfilling, so he is not that interested in this aspect.

What's more, I have been working in this field for a long time. It's interesting to watch it occasionally, but if I watch it frequently, I'm not interested anymore.

Seeing the wise man's expression, which seemed to have been taught a lesson and that he was listening carefully to her words, Miyamizu Futaba stopped talking...

As time passed, the holiday was getting closer and closer. Miyamizu Futaba at home was thinking about whether she should prepare some New Year gifts. When she returned to Itomori, she happened to buy some gifts to send back to Itomori.

"A New Year's gift?"

The wise man who was resting at home, after hearing what his mother said, also thought about this matter seriously, and it seemed that he really needed to prepare a gift.

Otherwise, when he returns to Itomori, you can basically guess Mitsuha's reaction.

Siye is a sensible child. She looks forward to gifts, but doesn’t care too much about what the gifts are. However, Sanye is different.

Unlike Yotsuba, Mitsuha is that rare, very rare kind of sister who is very harsh on Kento.

If I don't prepare a gift for Mitsuha in advance, she will inevitably feel uncomfortable during her time in Itomori. At least she won't have a good time in the first two days after returning home.

"let me consider it."

The gifts for Sanye and Yotsuba need to be carefully considered, but the first gift he considers is probably "clothes" which are the most practical, and the rest are things like "jewelry". Other gifts that girls might like are "desserts" and "flowers"?

Xianren seriously thought about the gift for Mitsuha. He thought carefully and repeatedly for a long time, but could not think of a better gift.

"Maybe there's no need to think about it carefully. If it's a gift you like, Sanye will definitely like it too."

"A gift I like?"

Xianren himself is not quite sure about what kind of gifts he likes. At least he likes reading, which Sanye definitely doesn't like.

He himself doesn't know what kind of gifts he likes. He doesn't seem to have any interest in most gifts and only likes what is practical.

"Come to think of it, Mitsuha is already quite old, so she must have some needs, right? Giving her one... no, if I give it to her, she'll definitely kill me, right?"

Maybe Mitsuha doesn't even need to do it himself, Miyamizu Futaba will be the first to deny the existence of his son?

However, when he thought of that in his mind, Xianren became eager to try it out. He was curious about what kind of expression would appear on Sanye's face if he gave it to her. He didn't know whether she would be furious or angry.

"Have you thought of any suitable gifts?"

Seeing the sudden smile on the wise man's face, Miyamizu Futaba became a little concerned and wanted to know what gift he was going to give to Mitsuha.

"No, not yet. I just have a rough idea of the direction I'm going to take. I still need to think about it carefully."

There's no need to give Sanye a serious gift. Prank gifts like those are fine, right?

When I think of the wise men here, I have many choices in my mind.

When the Summer Cicadas Chirp: 281. Virtue

"It's finally over. We'll be on vacation starting tomorrow. Xianren, are you going back straight away tomorrow?"

When walking out of the classroom, Yuji Sakamoto and Akihisa Yoshii accompanied Kento and asked him about his vacation plans. They knew that he would return to Itomori during the vacation, but they were not sure when exactly he would return or how long he would stay.

"Probably tomorrow. She's been calling me for a long time. If I don't go back soon, I guess she'll just rush to Tokyo."

"There's nothing wrong with coming to Tokyo, right?"

"My room isn't very big. If she comes to Tokyo, it'll be too crowded for the two of us to sleep together. I might as well just go back."

"Is that the reason?"

"What else can I do?"

Thinking that he still had to prepare gifts for Sanye and Yotsuba, Xianren did not go with them. He said goodbye to them and walked towards the nearby subway station, preparing to go to the city center alone to take a look.

The reason why she didn't go home to be with Miyamizu Futaba was that during this time, Miyamizu Futaba had already bought all the gifts she had in mind during the time that Kento was at school, and was just waiting to go back to Itomori tomorrow.
