I won't be a loser.

She turned off the lights again, put on her pajamas, left the bedroom, went to the bathroom and took a quick shower.

"There's so much work to do, and the salary hasn't increased much. I really want to change jobs... I'm going to the bathroom to take a shower. Let's talk later."

Machida Sonoko's voice was heard at the door. Kento, who was showering in the bathroom, didn't pay attention to what she said. He just heard some noise and turned to look towards the bathroom door. He suddenly remembered that he didn't lock the door when he came into the bathroom?

I thought that Mari Kazeoka and Sonoko Machida were going to bed early, so I didn't close the bathroom door.

"Is the light on in the bathroom?"

"Isn't it someone?"

wow——

The bathroom door was opened, and Machida Sonoko, standing at the door, looked at Xianren who was in the bathroom. She looked curious, and her eyes met Xianren's. The smile on her face gradually became excited.

Thanks to the amazing Shuke, Fate is at my house tonight, and the prosperous world for the monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

Another year of budding: 310. A special discussion with Kiryu Yuzuki

He was a little surprised that his body was seen, but he didn't act shy. Besides, it wasn't the first time that Machida Sonoko saw him, so Kento reacted very calmly.

"Is something wrong?"

"You have a nice figure. I didn't look closely before, but I didn't expect your figure to be exactly what I like."

After showering and rinsing himself, Xianren walked to the door. Under the gaze of Machida Sonoko, he grabbed a bath towel and draped it over himself. Looking at Machida Sonoko in front of him, he flicked her forehead with his finger.

"It hurts!"

"Next time, don't go into the bathroom when someone is showering. She's not as calm as me."

"Well."

After leaving the bathroom, Machida Sonoko stood at the bathroom door and looked at Kento's back as he left. There was a helpless expression on her face. She was obviously the older one, but she was being educated like a child by a teenager.

But she didn't really hate it. She found Xianren's serious reaction quite amusing.

After returning to the bedroom from the bathroom, Futaba Rio was still lying on the bed, as if she had never woken up. She was just looking at the water swaying in the cup on the bedside table. Then looking at Futaba Rio who seemed to have never woken up, Xianren did not point it out to her. He lay down quietly, stretched out his hands and hugged her waist tightly.

I had to go back to my apartment early in the morning, so I woke up early. I opened my eyes reluctantly at the sound of the alarm clock.

But there was nothing he could do about it, since he had chosen to spend the night here.

"Ok?"

"It's okay. I'll go back to the apartment first. You can continue to rest. It's not time to get up yet."

The soft murmurs at the side, the alarm clock not only woke up Xianren, but also Futaba Rio, who was still resting at the side, opened her eyes at the sound of the alarm clock, and looked at Xianren who sat up at the side with a confused look.

"What time is it?"

"Five forty."

"too early."

With a whisper, Futaba Rio closed her eyes and continued to rest, while Xianren sat up, got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and left the bedroom.

The other two people living here had not woken up yet. Xianren, the only person who woke up at this time and had already gotten out of bed, did not do anything extra. He quietly came to the door, pushed it open, stood on the street, locked the door again, and walked towards the subway station.

At this time, all shops other than those open 24 hours a day are not open yet.

six o'clock.

There weren't many passengers in the subway station. The rush hour for work is around seven o'clock. At six o'clock, there were relatively few people who got up, and there weren't many people sitting in the subway car.

I returned to my apartment smoothly, entered my room, and lay down on my bed.

6:27

He looked at the time and found that there was still an hour left. He could rest for a while, and then another hour before setting off for school. There would still be plenty of time.

But after all the tossing and turning, he was no longer sleepy. He sat quietly at the desk, opened his notebook, and read the news reports for a while.

7:18

Xianren felt that the time was almost up, so he tidied up his apartment and went out early.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

After seeing Saionji Sekai and greeting the girl, Xianren walked towards the school. Saionji Sekai, who was standing downstairs of the Qingura family, looked at Xianren's back and wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing to talk about.

She hadn't paid attention to Xianren for a long time, and gradually began to subconsciously avoid Xianren's time.

Judging from the relationship between Xianren and Setsuna, she felt that her chances were slim. If she continued like this and didn't give up soon, she was afraid that there would not be any particularly good ending. It would be better to get out of this as soon as possible.

"I guess I fell in love with the wrong person back then."

Whether she had calmed down or was disheartened, Saionji Sekai herself didn't know. She just looked at Kento without the filter, and felt that he and he were not so compatible. In any case, she was not very happy when she was with Kento.

"Being happy with someone you love is what's important. If you love someone by yourself and don't get any response, you're just deceiving yourself."

The reaction of the Saionji world was indifferent. Kento, who was walking on the way to school, was not unaware of it, but just didn't care much.

His attitude towards the Saionji world was indifferent, and since they hadn't been alone for a long time, it was natural that their relationship gradually became dull, and he felt a little relieved.

There's nothing wrong with just going on like this.

"This poem, 'A Small Scene of Strange Feelings,' was written by Murou Saisei, whose real name was Murou Terumichi. He was born in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, in 1889. His father was the former feudal lord, but he died young. He was adopted by the abbot of Muroji Temple and became the adopted son of Muro Shinjo."

A poem about missing one's hometown also made the wise man sitting in the classroom miss his hometown of Gifu.

When you leave your hometown, you will miss it.

When I was in my hometown, I always thought about leaving it. But when I really left it and was outside, I couldn't help but recall my hometown in my mind and constantly beautify that memory.

"Ishikawa Prefecture seems to be around Gifu, a little to the north. I also have some impression of Kanazawa City, which is probably near the sea, right?"

When I was learning about hot springs before, it seemed that Kanazawa City had a very famous hot spring, or a festival?

It’s been too long and I can’t remember clearly.

The old lord, Ishikawa Prefecture, should be Kaga Domain?

Sitting in the classroom, I didn't listen carefully to what was being taught. I was distracted thinking about things in Ishikawa Prefecture and Gifu Prefecture. When I came to my senses, it was already time to end the get out of class.

Xianren was also not interested in attending classes. He was considering whether he should graduate early and go to a school that allowed early graduation.

Chiba University may not be as good as the two universities in Tokyo that he had originally planned to choose, but now that he thinks about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a big choice. Xianren, who was sitting quietly in the classroom, gradually became confused.

During the lunch break, Xianren did not go to find Feng Xiaochun, nor did he go to see Futaba Rio. Instead, he came to the faculty office and consulted Kiryu Yuzuki.

Kiryu Yuzuki, who always wears a beige office uniform, is sitting in the faculty office during the lunch break, seemingly processing some documents.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the faculty office and took a look inside, I saw Kiryu Yuzuki working at the desk, looking very hard-working.

Among all the teachers in the entire campus, even though she has been working for a year, Kiryu Yuzuki is still a relatively young teacher. She is a relatively special existence in the entire faculty office. Xianren, who came to the faculty office, slowly came to her side.

"Miyamizu-kun?"

Kiryu Yuzuki, who was handling the lesson plan, noticed a black shadow appear in the corner of his eye. He turned his head to look beside him and was surprised when he found that it was Kento.

"What's matter?"

Normally, there was nothing going on between them, so when she saw Kento suddenly appear in the office and stand next to her, Kiryu Yuzuki was a little surprised, wondering what was going on.

"There are some things I want to discuss with you, Mr. Kiryu. Do you have time?"

"discuss?"

Because she is a relatively young teacher, Kiryu Yuzuki has always felt that she is not trusted by her students. However, after hearing what Kento said, her heart was suddenly excited and she felt that her teaching career suddenly became meaningful.

"Of course I have time. I wonder what it is?"

After Xianren expressed his intention in the office, Kiryu Yuzuki led Xianren to a special discussion room. When the two sat down in the discussion room, they heard Xianren's words -

"If I want to finish high school at the end of my second year and enter university a year early, does Mr. Kiryu have any suggestions?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he brought up some important topic, which made Kiryu Yuzuki, who thought it was about some campus life issues, stunned in the meeting room. Looking at the calm expression of the boy in front of him, he wondered if he had heard something wrong.

"Um, Miyamizu-kun, did you just say... that you were planning to graduate a year early and enroll in university?"

"Yes."

"Miyamizu-kun, you..."

Kiryu Yuzuki was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to start.

"Are you ready? Applying to university is a very serious matter, not something that can be accomplished easily. It is completely different from the usual tests in school. You—"

"I've already done my homework on this and taken the relevant academic ability tests at a private school. Based on the results of the simulation tests, the deviation value is around 60. My original goals of Rikkyo University and Meiji University might be a bit of a stretch, but the other schools shouldn't be a big problem."

I wanted to ask Xianren to think carefully and not do something that he would regret because of a momentary impulse, but when Xianren opened his mouth, he acted as if he had already made relevant considerations, which made Kiryu Yuzuki feel his seriousness.

"I think Rikkyo University's deviation is around 60, right?"

"Probably around 62."

"Then why don't you work hard towards your original goal? Why are you in such a hurry to get into university? Besides, getting into university isn't easy. I've never heard of anyone skipping a grade to get in."

Maybe Kiryu Yuzuki is ignorant, but he really doesn't understand things in this area. All the people he knows have completed three years of high school before entering university.

"Most universities don't support 'jumping in.' A well-known example is Chiba University, a member of the G30 and one of the old government universities. Its medical school is one of the six old medical universities. Many of its students have subsequently been admitted to graduate schools at prestigious institutions."

Sitting silently in the discussion room, in the somewhat silent atmosphere, the wise man stood up.

"Thank you very much. I have made up my mind. So, I will trouble you from now on, Kiryu-sensei."

Looking at Xianren who stood up, Kiryu Yuzuki felt a subtle feeling in her heart. She hadn't said anything yet, but Xianren stood up. She had made a decision in her heart and felt that she had not played any role.

"Miyamizu-kun."

"Ok?"

"You should think about it carefully. You only have one chance to go to high school. Some things you miss out on can never be returned."

"I see."

Xianren understood the other party's good intentions, smiled, and left the discussion room. He returned to the classroom and sat down in his seat. At least before the end of his second year of high school, it would be impossible for him to enter Chiba University.

Chiba University is located in Chiba City, and transportation to Tokyo is very convenient, about an hour's journey away.

Jumping into Chiba University is also a good choice.

Xianren sat quietly in the classroom, having almost made his own choice in his heart. By the end of the second grade...

But before that, I still have to go to Chiba University to observe, understand the situation there, and communicate by the way.

"It's also a very troublesome thing."

He closed his eyes and sat quietly in the classroom, while his heart gradually began to plan and think about the specific arrangements.

When school was over in the afternoon, Xianren returned to his apartment. After staying there for a while, he went out to the nearby shopping street, bought some ingredients, and returned to the apartment to prepare dinner by himself.

As April approaches, the cherry blossoms have begun to gradually bloom and become in full bloom.

There are many cherry blossoms in Bunkyo Ward, the area where the sages live, but if you ask where there are more cherry blossoms, it is probably Ueno Park and Meguro River.

There are cherry blossoms planted on both sides of the Meguro River. When the cherry blossoms are in bloom in spring, standing on the bridge of the Meguro River, you can see the cherry blossoms dyeing the entire river pink. The scattered petals float on the river surface, and it is even more gorgeous at night.

"Going to see the cherry blossoms at Meguro River?"

Xianren, sitting in the apartment, thought about it for a while, but the Meguro River runs from Meguro District to Shinagawa District, and it will take him some time to get there.

"The last time I looked at a house, there was one in Meguro Ward, an apartment next to the Meguro River. The price was a bit expensive, and it was a studio apartment."

How about buying a house next to Meguro River?

Meguro Ward and Shinagawa Ward are residential areas themselves, so buying a house there doesn't seem to be a bad choice.

Another year of budding: 311. I'm here, where are you?

Tired from work, he returned home and opened the door of his small apartment. His daughter rushed in, shopping bags in hand. Fuji and Nv Nu entered the house and closed the door. His daughter immediately rushed to the low table, picked up crayons and started painting.

The fact that her daughter has a relatively well-behaved personality is probably the only thing that Fuji and Nv Nu can be thankful for.

Before going out to the company every day, she would send her daughter to the nursery. The high nursery fees allowed her to have a short period of free time during the day. Then, after get off work in the evening, she would go to the nursery to pick up her daughter.
