I won't be a loser.

"That's a very sensible statement, but since you've never had a boyfriend, can you really write something that satisfies you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already stood up, turned around and looked at her editor after hearing what Machida Sonoko said.

"I'm already starting to get angry."

"How about taking a closer look at a man and a woman who are dating?"

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha taking the bait, editor Machida Sonoko's smile widened a bit as she slowly began to persuade her.

Suddenly, there was a call from Machida Sonoko, saying that there was something important and asked him to go back early. Kento, who was with Kiyoura Setsuna, used this as an excuse and quickly went to the "coffee shop".

"It's you?"

Then, when I entered the 'coffee shop', I heard a familiar voice.

Forced to have a normal routine

Thanks to Baihe Xiaoniao, Xilili for the monthly tickets and blades! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

Another year begins to sprout: 308. Director Miyamizu, please! Please let me——

The surprised reaction and expression made the wise man who entered the living room a little surprised.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, long time no see."

"......"

Looking at the young man in front of her, Kasumigaoka Utaha was deeply impressed. The scenes she saw near the astronomy club that day and the noises she heard are still fresh in her memory to this day.

"The subject of observation you mentioned, isn't that him?"

Turning her head to look at Machida Sonoko beside her, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little weird. She couldn't help but confirm with the editor who had made a suggestion that interested her.

"Well, this is our landlord, Miyamizu Kento-kun. We're all from the same school, and since you're both authors, you definitely have a lot in common. Living under the same roof, you can definitely communicate and spark unexpected inspiration. How about that?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to refuse and go back home directly. Perhaps since she had never had a boyfriend, she could not perfectly describe the feelings of a girl in love, but living under the same roof with the boy in front of her was something that was even more difficult for her to accept.

"Not very good, I want to go back."

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, does she seem to have something against me?"

"I don't have any particular opinion about you, but the rumors about you at school are certainly not good. It seems like you've had scandals with quite a few girls, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was about to leave, after hearing what Kento said, spoke up to remind the other party of the little rumor about him in school that was not really a black history, as the other party seemed to have no self-awareness.

"It seems to be the case."

"Although I don't know what's going on with Miss Futaba, she shouldn't be the heroine in the rumors, right? I have no interest in commenting on other people's love affairs, and similarly, I don't intend to get bogged down in those troubles."

The seemingly calm but sarcastic remarks made Xianren look at Machida Sonoko who was standing beside him.

"Well, that's all for today. Thank you for your hospitality. I'm going back now."

Picking up her shoulder bag, Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up and walked towards the stairs, ready to leave. Machida Sonoko also stood up.

"Let me take you away."

"Hmm~"

Xianren, who stayed behind, was urged here by Machida Sonoko. He didn't say anything, but just watched Kasumigaoka Utaha leave from his sight, full of resistance to him.

She walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. After about five minutes, Machida Sonoko also returned to the living room.

"What's your situation?"

"Ok?"

"I didn't hear from her that your relationship was so...bad."

It was the first time that Machida Sonoko saw Kasumigaoka Utaha being so cold. When facing strangers, Kasumigaoka Utaha's attitude might be a little cold, but she would also maintain basic politeness. However, when facing Kento today, her attitude was obviously different.

It was not polite. She used the rumors about Kento in the school as a topic to keep the two of them apart. From the moment she met Kento, she felt a deep resistance to Kento from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"I didn't meet her many times at school, and my relationship with her was pretty ordinary. I don't know what she reacted like that to, and I thought you were deliberately trying to cause trouble for me."

"Although this is an interesting development, it wasn't what I had anticipated. I'll ask her later what exactly happened, but from what she said, you seem to be quite popular in school."

"It is very welcome, but this welcome can only be regarded as a troublesome matter."

He is very aware of his popularity.

His appearance was already very popular, and after his identity as a writer was "exposed", he often attracted the attention of girls.

"You're really not modest at all."

"Excessive modesty will only make people dislike you, right?"

Machida Sonoko nodded, and couldn't help sighing. She originally wanted to trick Kasumigaoka Utaha into moving in, but now it seems that it is impossible.

“It’s a bit regrettable.”

"Maybe this is God's will. Since she doesn't want to live here, let's leave that room empty for now."

"Are there other people you're considering?"

"No."

Kento waved his hand, showing no interest in Machida Sonoko's question.

"I'm going back to the bedroom first. If you have anything to do, wait until after dinner."

Without paying any more attention to Machida Sonoko in the living room, Kento returned to his bedroom, entered the room, looked at the red torii gate on the counter beside him, and then looked at Futaba Rio who was sitting at the table reading a book.

"Did you meet her?"

"Kasumigaoka Shiyu?"

"uh-huh."

"Yes."

"Do you feel anything?"

He picked up a bottle of purified water beside him, sat next to Futaba Rio, took a sip of the purified water, and looked at the girl next to him.

"I don't feel anything."

Rio Futaba, who was reading a book, glanced at the wise man beside her, then looked back at the book in her hand. She didn't seem to care much about what happened to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"What does she do to you?"

"I didn't have any direct communication with her. We just met once and then went back to the bedroom."

"No reaction?"

"Ah."

Futaba Rio's answer made Kento confused for a moment and he looked bewildered.

"Is it because of the rumors in school?"

"Ok?"

"That senior student didn't seem to have a very good impression of me. When she saw me, she acted very distant. Without even chatting for a moment, she gave up on the idea of staying and left."

Hearing this, Futaba Rio was also a little surprised. She added the label, closed the book, and looked at the wise man beside her.

Although it can be called bad in some aspects, she was the one who took the initiative in her relationship, so it cannot be blamed on Kento. Looking at Kento sitting quietly beside her, Futaba Rio looked at Kento's confused expression and felt a little curious in her heart.

"Don't you know each other?"

"I wouldn't call it acquaintance, eh? Well, can we really say acquaintance? I've met her twice in the library, and we only know each other's names. As for everything else, I've probably only heard rumors from other people."

Kento didn't know much about Kasumigaoka Utaha's specific situation, but he did know a lot about his senior schoolmate. What he knew was limited to what was well-known in the school and her identity as a writer.

The other party probably has a similar understanding of him.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why they showed such an attitude based on the impression they had of him based on the rumors in school.

"It's not that I can't understand her. Since she has a problem with me and refused to stay, it's her own choice."

"You don't look very disappointed?"

"With more people moving in, things will inevitably get complicated, and friction is inevitable. Machida Sonoko, as her editor, naturally won't cause any major problems. But with you, me, and Mari here, it would be difficult to handle if something went wrong."

"Have you thought about it so carefully?"

"We need to consider all aspects of the problem."

He stood up and walked to the edge of the bed. Looking at the clean bed, he hesitated for a moment, then left the bedroom. He went to the bathroom first and then reappeared in the bedroom in his pajamas.

"Are you ready to rest now?"

"I've been busy for a while now, and I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first. You don't need to call me for dinner."

"..."

Looking at Kento lying on the bed, Futaba Rio had no choice but to leave the bedroom temporarily, leaving the space to Kento, and plan to return to the bedroom to rest after dinner.

The wise man lying on the bed was also drowsy and gradually fell into his dream.

Kento was also very clear about the matter between Futaba Rio and her family. He had a lot to do with it, but when he was about to help deal with it, he was dissuaded by Futaba Rio.

"I've already contacted my family. I'll be fine after a while. Don't worry about me."

He had originally planned to go to her house by himself, and was mentally prepared to be severely beaten by her family, but after hearing what Futaba Rio said, he chose to believe her.

I have no plans to meet Futaba Rio's parents for the time being, and I will basically be going back and forth between my apartment and the 'cafe' during the remaining vacation time.

Some time under the cover of night, I sat alone in front of the computer, watching the ups and downs of the red and green lines, and then bought those bitcoins at different prices in different periods, marked them on a blank notebook, and recorded them bit by bit. When I came to my senses, I already had more than 350 bitcoins.

Looking at it optimistically, this will become an asset worth billions of yen in a few years.

But that will have to wait for several years.

"It's going to take a few years, so there's no need to think about it right now. Let's just enjoy our current life first."

Xianren closed his notebook and sat on the edge of the bed, falling into deep thought. He was thinking about his future affairs and whether he should continue as smoothly as planned.

"For now, let's proceed with the original plan. We can't be sure about what will happen in the future. We'll think about it carefully when the time comes. We'll also consider Sanye's matter."

Mitsuha is 15 years old this year and will be promoted to high school next year. Her goal has always been very clear, which is to go to Tokyo to enroll in school.

Although I will not be going to school in Tokyo until next year, I can already think about it and start preparing.

"It's time to prepare for a home for our family. We need to buy another one, but once we buy it, we'll have even less free space when we live together."

Thinking about the wise man who lived under the same roof with Kiyoura Setsuna and had many things to do, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"There's no rush for now. We still have a year to go. It's not too late to consider this issue after a few months."

Suddenly feeling the burden of life, Xianren's face was full of helplessness.

The second school year officially arrived without any expectations. The classes did not change, and the formal class division would have to wait until the third grade next year. Now they were still in the second grade, and there was still a long time for them to squander their youth.

"Do you have any plans for a school trip this year?"

Xianren also had a brief understanding of this aspect and it seemed that in previous years they would go to Kyoto for study tours.

This year is likely to be no exception, but the wise man's understanding of Kyoto is also very general.

Although Gifu and Kyoto are separated by Shiga Prefecture, there is nothing to do there, and the wise man is not so bored as to run to places like Kyoto and Osaka. It takes a lot of time just to get to Nagoya, and if he goes to Kyoto and Osaka, he will have to stay there overnight.

When he was young, he didn't have the ability to go to Kyoto alone. Now he has it, but he has no reason to go to Kyoto.

Being free and doing what one likes at will is a very difficult thing for today's wise men. What a child can do easily is like an invisible shackle for a wise man, making it difficult for him to struggle.

"We are still in the same class this year. I wonder if we can still be together next year."

"If you were a girl, I wouldn't mind staying in the same class with you, but considering your current situation, forget it."

Yuji Sakamoto was not at all polite to Akihisa Yoshii, and was not at all moved by Yoshii Akihisa's rare serious expression.

Xianren, who didn't care much about this, smiled slightly at the two people who were as spirited as ever. At the edge of his sight, he noticed a gaze looking towards him. He looked in the other person's direction and found that it was Nakano Ichika.

Noticing Xianren's gaze, Nakano Ichika was not shy at all. She raised her hand and gestured to Xianren.

"She seems to have joined an agency and is working hard to become an entertainer, right? Is she aiming to become a film star? You could consider investing in a film, but I'm not sure if 500 million yen is enough."

Xianren was also very interested in becoming a director. He didn't have the qualifications before, but now——

'You can definitely try.'
