I won't be a loser.

The two of them went out and walked from home to the subway station. It didn't take long to take the subway to Korakuen. They walked out of the familiar subway station, looked at the familiar environment around them, and turned their heads to look at Futaba Rio beside them.

The girl, wearing a blue-gray sweater and a white long skirt, stood quietly beside him. She noticed the sage looking at her and raised her head.

“When I don’t wear glasses, I always feel a little strange, like a different person.”

"Hate?"

"No, I like it more. It's like cheating on my partner."

"......"

Futaba Rio was also shocked by Kento's words. She was silent for a moment, not knowing how to react. She closed her eyes, raised her foot, and stepped hard on Kento's instep.

I had obviously considered today's trip and had put on contact lenses, which I don't normally wear. Now after hearing what the wise man said, I felt a little regretful.

"Let's go to Tokyo Dome City, which is in..."

After looking at the map, I found the Tokyo Dome near the amusement park. Suddenly, I thought of it as a famous stadium, and it seemed that many singers had held concerts there?

Xianren suddenly recalled this incident and turned his head to look at Futaba Rio beside him.

"How about it?"

"No, I just suddenly realized that I don't seem to know that much about Tokyo."

"........"

"Forget it. Anyway, even people living in Tokyo may not know much about this place. It's normal for me not to know much about it."

He didn't really care about it. He didn't have any particular baseball or football team that he particularly supported, and he had no interest in idols or singers. It was natural that he felt so unfamiliar with the Tokyo Dome.

Leading Futaba Rio towards the Tokyo Dome, it took a while before they arrived at the entrance of the Tokyo Dome. The amusement park opens at '10:00', and there are still about ten minutes left before this time, so they just need to wait a little.

"many people."

"Because it's the weekend, I thought there would be fewer people here, but since it's in the city, there are actually more people. No, maybe less than Disney."

He had come to Tokyo Dome City specifically to avoid queuing and waiting and to save his own time, but he didn't expect that the number of people here was no less than that of the Disneyland he knew. The long queue was because he had arrived a little earlier, so he and Futaba Rio were ranked higher in the queue.

Noticing the clothes some people were wearing and the cheering sticks in their hands, it seemed that their target was not all the amusement park.

"Is there a game today?"

"It's the Yomiuri Giants versus the Hanshin Tigers."

After hearing the wise man's doubts, someone around him cleared up his confusion and found out that there was indeed a competition going on today.

Looking at Rio Futaba beside him, the two of them looked at each other, and then Xianren shrugged slightly. He really didn't know there was such a competition.

"Are you interested?"

"I guess I can't buy a ticket. Forget it. I'm not interested."

Futaba Rio has no interest in such activities. She is more interested in riding the Ferris wheel.

After hearing Futaba Rio's answer, Xianren stopped thinking about anything related to the competition. He quietly queued up and soon entered. He bought a ticket to the amusement park and went in to browse with Futaba Rio.

"It seems that only the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel are interesting. There doesn't seem to be anything else to enjoy."

I observed the facilities here during self-study. The most eye-catching ones are probably the long roller coaster track and the Ferris wheel standing under the clear blue sky.

Futaba Rio didn't expect that there were so few projects here, and she looked at Xianren beside her again.

"Since we're here, let's experience the roller coaster first, and then the Ferris wheel."

".......Um."

Futaba Rio was not afraid of the roller coaster, especially since Kento was right next to her. Since they had already come here, even she would feel it was a bit of a waste to leave without doing anything.

So, when they were sitting on the roller coaster, Futaba Rio's hand tightly grasped Kento's hand.

"......"

There was a slight tremor. When the roller coaster started to move, Xianren noticed from the corner of his eye that the girl next to him was gradually becoming pale.

As the roller coaster passed through the walls of the building, accompanied by the whistling wind and gradually slowed down to a stop, Futaba Rio's legs trembled slightly as she got off the roller coaster.

"Are you okay?"

"..."

Rio Futaba, with a pale face and biting her lips tightly, was not in a position to answer Xianren's questions at the moment. After getting off the roller coaster, the two did not rush to ride the Ferris wheel, but came to a rest area. Xianren bought a drink and handed it to the girl.

As time passed, the girl's complexion gradually returned to normal. She sat quietly on the bench and looked at the wise man beside her.

I wanted to say something to him, but I didn't know how to describe my feelings. After brewing my feelings for quite a long time, I kept silent and didn't tell the wise man beside me about my feelings.

At noon, I tried Thai food at a restaurant in Tokyo Dome City, which I had never tried before. The taste was surprisingly good.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Ferris wheel slowly rose into the sky. The sage put one hand on the girl's shoulder, smelled the pleasant scent on her body, looked at the clear blue sky outside the Ferris wheel, the floating white clouds connected together, the sunlight shining on his body, there was no breeze, and the warm temperature made him close his eyes.

“Sometimes, I can’t help but wish that time would freeze from now on. How wonderful it would be.”

The Ferris wheel slowly descended. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, the wise man whispered softly, and the girl leaning on his shoulder couldn't help but show a look of agreement.

For a moment, she hoped it would last forever.

When they left Tokyo Dome, it was three o'clock in the afternoon. The two didn't know where to go next, so Xianren sent her back home. When she was left alone, she remembered the address her mother had given her.

3:34

There's still some time before night falls, so it's okay to go to Adachi District.

An hour's round trip is enough. The address is at...

"Ehoku, Adachi-ku."

He took out his cell phone, clicked on the address on the memo, frowned slightly, wrote down the address, left Futaba Rio, went to the subway station, and set off towards the somewhat mysterious address.

Another year has begun to sprout: 326. The child’s father has gone to heaven to see Q baby

After sending Futaba Rio back home, he went out to Nagatani, took the Marunouchi bus to Ikebukuro, then transferred to the Yamanote Line from Ikebukuro to Nippori in Taito District. The tram in Nippori went to Kobei, and the rest was just walking to the address.

I thought an hour would be enough for the round trip, but when I first came to Adachi Ward, I found that it took me nearly an hour just to transfer and walk when I arrived in Jiangbei.

When everyone stood at Jiangbei Sanchome and looked at the sunset, they realized that they seemed to have been a little careless.

"Ehoku 19-chome, Adachi-ku, 4-"

I looked carefully at the map and found the exact address, only to find that there was still some distance to go, so I walked slowly towards my destination.

Among Tokyo's 23 wards, Adachi Ward is already completely in the outer ring. Most of the houses here are residential houses, and there are almost no streets that can be called prosperous. It is completely incomparable with places like Bunkyo Ward.

For example, an apartment of similar size might cost 15 yen per month in Bunkyo Ward, but in a place like Adachi Ward, it would only cost around 7 yen. This is how you can see the difference between the two.

Unlike Bunkyo Ward, which is neither as convenient nor as prosperous, the entire Adachi Ward gave Xianren a mediocre feeling. While walking on the street, he saw children playing in the nursery school, which made Xianren stop and glance sideways.

"Children... Given my current situation, I won't need to work all day, so I won't need to send my children to daycare. I wonder if my future children will be well-behaved, eccentric, or even rebellious."

No one knows what their children will become in the future. Even if they think they will work hard to educate their children, they cannot guarantee that their children will really do what they say. Children also have their own ideas.

Thinking that their future children might not listen to them or even dislike them, the wise man would lose interest in having children.

"Woo——"

"Come and catch me!"

Looking at the children playing in the nursery, he noticed some children looking at him. He smiled at the two children and continued walking towards the address marked as the apartment on the map.

If he walked about 100 meters further, he would almost be there. The confusion hidden in his heart would probably be answered soon.

It was an ordinary apartment with brown exterior walls. Judging from the outside, it was not very old. The exterior walls and the facilities inside the apartment were very neat and clean. It looked like a very high-quality residence.

'The room is...'

He walked to the door of the apartment, entered the apartment, looked at the apartment number carefully, came to the door of a certain place, stretched out his hand, and gently pressed the doorbell.

Ding-dong-

The sunset glowed on the doorway, turning the sage's figure into a long slanted shadow, slanting from his feet to the window on the side. The warm yellow sunset background shone on the brown exterior wall, adding a touch of warmth to the brown.

The wise man waiting at the door heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind the door. After waiting for less than 2 minutes, he heard the sound of the door being unlocked.

"Soon..."

The person behind the door pushed the heavy door open and saw the person standing at the door. He stopped talking before he even finished saying "sorry for the long wait". The other person looked at the wise man standing at the door with a look that turned from surprise to calmness, and then "as expected".

Even if you count carefully, they haven't seen each other for nearly fifteen years, but when he saw the person in front of him, just one glance at the wise man standing at the door, the other's more childish face emerged in his mind, as well as the memories of that summer that he almost hid deep in his heart.

"Fuji-no....nunu."

For a moment, goosebumps appeared all over my body. I never expected that it would be Fujiwara Nyoinou's wise man. I opened my mouth to say something, but when I opened my mouth, I found that I didn't know what to say.

Standing silently in front of the door, Fujiwara Nyoinu, who was standing at the entrance, looked at the wise man in front of her. Compared with the first time, he was more mature and made her feel a strong sense of strangeness. She did not react much.

From the moment she met Miyamizu Futaba, she knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect that even though they had made an agreement, the other party still broke the agreement and told Xianren about her own affairs.

"Long time no see, Xian——"

"Mom, who is it?"

When Fujiwa Nunu responded to Xianren and said "Long time no see", a childish and clear voice came from behind her, interrupting her greeting.

The voice calling Fujiwara and her daughter "Mom" immediately attracted Xianren's attention. He looked into the house, his eyes gradually widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Her hair color is slightly lighter than Fuji and Nunu's, with long light blue hair, cute curled up hair, skin as soft as ice and white, and a delicate crystal-like luster. She looks like a pure elf in a fairy tale, holding a stuffed bear in her arms, standing in the corner and secretly watching the situation at the door.

He was completely attracted by the girl at first sight. He felt a sense of familiarity from her lovely face, as if... they were related by blood?

"Mother?"

"No, I'm not Xianren's mother. Miss Erye is your mother, Xianren. If you miss your mother, you can call her and say hello. There's nothing else to do. That's all for now. Bye!"

Bang!

The door was closed. The wise man standing at the door stared blankly at the closed door in front of him. His brain went into a state of shutdown and he couldn't think.

"Mom? No, how could it be... No? No... No? No no no... No? No no no..."

The wise man standing at the door fell into self-doubt and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time. Fujiwara and Nunu, who saw the wise man, were also standing at the door. They looked at their daughter with a helpless expression, waved their hands to tell her not to come over, and at the same time eavesdropped on the wise man's reaction at the door.

“No no no, no no no no no no no no….no no no no no no no….”

Squatting down, Xianren couldn't help but hold his head with his hands, and began to seriously recall the past, thinking about what happened to him, Fujiwara and Nunu at that time, in that summer.

"At that time, I clearly...ah, it seemed...I was in...but...oh, I was old enough to have children...but...I can't...understand!"

The sunset glow had gradually begun to fade, and the stars appeared in the night sky. However, the wise man squatting at the door was still unable to calm down. He didn't know what to do. Before coming here, he had never thought that he would meet Fuji and Nunu, and...daughter?

The two haven't seen each other for a long time. From Xianren's perspective, about fifteen years have passed. He had long buried the matter of Fuji and Nunu in the deepest part of his heart. When they were almost forgotten by him, they suddenly appeared in front of him, and he had a daughter... well, a lovely daughter.

The sound of the door opening was heard, and Fuji and Nunu appeared at the door again.

Xianren, who was squatting at the door with his head in his hands, loosened his hands, and his incomprehensible and conflicted expression caught the other person's eyes. Fujiwa Nunu glanced at him helplessly.

"Come in?"

"......"

He felt a little uneasy and conflicted in his heart, but after hearing what Fujihe Nunu said, he stood up hesitantly and walked slowly into the apartment room. Fujihe Nunu then closed the door.

"shoe!"

Looking at the wise man standing at the door, his expression instantly became stern when he saw him about to put on his shoes and step on his clean floor.

The horizontal sage's gaze made the sage, who had not seen him for a long time, feel a little nostalgic in his heart. After coming to his senses, he silently took off his shoes and stepped on the floor of the room in his socks. It was a little chilly in early spring, but not unbearable because there was a warm carpet in the living room.

The girl who calls Fujiwa Nunu "Mom" is now sitting quietly on the carpet in the living room, holding a stuffed bear in her arms, and rubbing the bear's ears with her cute pink little hands.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

"......Um."

"Then stay and have dinner before leaving."

Glancing at Kento, Fuji and Nunu didn't pay any special attention to this "neighbor" whom they hadn't seen for a long time, or the guy who they didn't know if he could be considered an "ex-boyfriend". They quietly walked to the refrigerator, took out the ingredients they bought on sale, and started preparing dinner.

Xianren, standing in the living room, felt quite uneasy. He didn't know how to talk to Fujiwara and Nvnu, nor did he know how to ask the girl about her father. He was afraid that his words would hurt the girl.
