I won't be a loser.

Feeling anxious and conflicted, he carefully observed the living room, trying to find some clues from it.

No men's items.

Reassuring.

He took a deep breath and carefully licked his dry lips with the tip of his tongue. Just as he was about to go find Fuji and Nunu, he found that the girl sitting in the corner was looking up at him.

His breathing stopped and the expression on his face stiffened. He pointed at himself hesitantly.

The girl lowered her head silently again. Xianren, who was standing in the living room, hesitated for a while, but gave up looking for Fuji and Nunu. He slowly came to the girl's side, slowed down his pace, and squatted down little by little.

I opened my mouth, secretly annoyed at myself for being tongue-tied. I didn't know how to start my mouth right now.

"My name is Miyamizu Kento. Can you tell me your name?"

“…Mom, tell me not to talk to strangers.”

"......"

I was stunned. I didn't expect the girl to give such an answer. But when I heard that soft voice, I felt my heart beating inexplicably.

"Your mother and I have known each other for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have let me in here. We have a close relationship like siblings, so it's okay to tell me your name."

The girl looked at the wise man but didn't react at all. After a while, she lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the stuffed bear in her arms.

"......"

The communication was fruitless, and Xianren did not look for Fujiwa Nunu again. Instead, he sat quietly beside her, watching her fiddle with the bear doll, silently.

When Fujiwa Nunu had prepared dinner, Xiancai slowly shifted his gaze from the girl at her call, stood up, walked to the dining table in the living room, and sat down at her invitation.

"Omelette, curry?"

"Any dissatisfaction?"

Fujiwa Nunu glanced at Xianren. Xianren sat down and was silent for a moment. He looked at the girl who had learned to eat by herself. He picked up the spoon, said "I'm starting", and continued to eat quietly. Then he looked at Fujiwa Nunu again.

"No, it's nothing."

I lowered my head and tasted the curry. The taste was ordinary, but because it was a dish made by Fuji and Nunu, I still felt a little special when I tasted it. I don’t know if it was a feeling of "nostalgia" or "entanglement". I pursed my lips and looked at Fuji and Nunu.

Perhaps because of the child's mood, the curry tasted very light. Then he tasted the omelet, which had a sweet taste and he liked it very much.

There wasn't much communication during the meal. The three of them had dinner quietly. After the meal was over, he took the initiative to take charge of the cleanup.

"Aren't you afraid you'll miss the tram?"

"No, it doesn't matter, because 'He who does not work shall not eat', isn't that what you taught me before?"

A hint of reminiscence flashed across Fujiwara's eyes, and she stopped trying to stop Xianren. She just watched him clean up the dishes in the living room quietly, while the girl sat on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly.

After cleaning and arranging the dishes and placing them on the storage rack, he looked at Fuji and Nunu who were staring at him in the living room, and felt a subtle sense of déjà vu in his heart.

After his initial surprise, he has now calmed down. He came to the living room and sat down. His eyes fell on Fuji and Nunu. He pursed his lips and glanced at the girl sitting on the sofa. He still asked the doubts in his heart.

"name?"

"Elliot."

"Miyamizu?"

"Who?"

Looking at Fuji and Nunu who were staring at him with a smile, Xianren opened his mouth, then closed it silently and sighed softly.

"Does she know her father?"

"I know."

"......"

His gaze fixed on Fuji and Ninja, and Xianren suddenly became nervous.

"When she was born, she turned into light and entered the world of My Little Pony to meet the cute angels."

"......No, you're still alive, right?"

"Yes, in heaven."

"No, no, no, no... How do you see the father of this child——"

He was about to say that it was him, but when he met Fujiwara and Nunu's smiling eyes, he found it difficult to speak.

Another year of budding: 327. Isn’t that good?

It was a summer afternoon when he was 13 years old. For Kento, it was probably an unforgettable day. Even after many years, after some midnights after he started dating Sayuri Sawamura, he would occasionally recall what happened that day in his hazy dreams.

But even so, until the end of that period of his life, he never heard anything about Guan Teng and Nunu again. In his heart, he had almost completely buried this matter deep in his heart, as a memory that belonged only to him.

However, he did not expect that he would meet her again and found that things seemed a little beyond his expectations. Not only did he meet Fuji and Nunu, but she even had a daughter.

Counting from the day we separated at the age of 13, 5 years have passed until now. The girl in front of me looks about 3-5 years older, which is roughly correct.

But just as he was about to speak and reveal that he was the girl's father, he was met with Fujihe Nunu's calm gaze and gentle smile, and his courage to affirm himself suddenly disappeared. He hesitated inexplicably and became inexplicably uneasy.

"What do you want to say?"

"...A child has to have a father, right?"

"why?"

He remained silent, not knowing how to answer. The girl was in the living room at the moment, and his words would fall into her ears. Even a wise man would not want his words to hurt the girl.

So facing the gazes of Fuji and Nunu, he was silent for a while and decided not to talk about this topic for the time being.

"How old are you now?"

"Hmm? A girl's age is a secret. Even if it's Xianren, a man I haven't seen in a long time, who suddenly asks me about this, I'd feel shy."

"5 years old?"

"Ah, so you're asking about Elliot? We haven't seen each other for such a long time, but now that we're together, you're not interested in my affairs at all, but instead you're full of curiosity about other women. That's really too much, sage~"

She had always been like this. Knowing that Fujiwa Nunu didn't want to answer his questions, Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, looked at her. Her eyes were filled with deep fatigue and mental exhaustion, making him not know how to continue the conversation.

Suddenly seeing Fujiwa Nunu, and then suddenly finding out that he had a daughter, these series of influences made Xianren's heart a little difficult to calm down.

"cell phone."

Thinking of Fujihe Nunu in front of him, he stretched out his hand. Fujihe Nunu sitting in front of him looked at him blankly.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Fujihe Nunu handed her mobile phone to Xianren. Watching Xianren's operations, it seemed that he entered and added a contact number belonging to him to her contacts.

"You can call this number if you need anything."

"Are you going back?"

"I'd be happy to stay the night, if you don't mind."

"Then I only have the sofa in the living room. I can lend it to you, sage."

"Then I don't really mind."

"But Xianren still has to go to school tomorrow, right? I remember Xianren's age now, so he should still be in high school, right?"

Being stared at by Fujiwara and Nv's smiling eyes, Xianren, who was originally sitting in the living room, slowly stood up and looked at the girl in the living room, the girl named 'Elliot'.

The girl didn't care much about Xianren's gaze and sat quietly in the living room. Xianren's gaze turned to her mother Fujiwara Nyo.

"If you need any help, please feel free to contact me. I think I can be of some help."

"Hmm~ It seems that you have indeed grown up~"

Slowly walking towards the door, Fuji and Nunu also came to the door and watched Xianren put on his shoes again, opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Well, see you next time."

"Wakato, you need to go to school. I'm not usually home. See you sometime."

"Ah."

Waving goodbye, Xianren turned and disappeared into the darkness. Fuji and Nunu watched Xianren's figure disappear, and the smile on their faces gradually turned into sadness. They stood quietly at the door. After a long time, they came to their senses and returned to the room.

It was not yet time for the train to stop running, so I returned from Adachi Ward to Bunkyo Ward, and then rushed back to my apartment in Koishikawa. I entered the house, turned on the lights, and saw that the clock hand had pointed to '9' o'clock.

It's late at night

It took quite a while to get back to Bunkyo Ward from Adachi Ward. There was a long distance that needed to be walked. In addition, Adachi Ward was not very developed and there were few taxis on the road. I was destined to walk all the way to the station and wait for a while before I could take the tram and subway back to Bunkyo Ward.

When he returned to his apartment, he twisted out the two thin strands of hair from his pocket, walked to the desk, and clipped the hair between a book to keep it.

After a moment of silence, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

"It's okay, Xianren, just give it all to me. Xianren and I will be together forever."

What were you thinking at that time?

The hazy memories made Xianren fall into deep thought even in his dream, and he quietly pondered his own mood at that time.

You said we would be together forever, but didn’t you disappear from his life in the end?

Even at the last moment, he did not appear in front of him.

"Given the attitude at that time, any responsible parent wouldn't let their child meet such a decadent and useless man, right?"

I opened my eyes in a trance, just feeling that it was time to wake up, I slowly opened my eyes, looked at the gray room, and glanced towards the window. It was already getting light outside, and the sun was slowly rising.

6:11

At this time of year in the summer, even with the curtains drawn, the house would probably be bright, but in the early spring, it was still not that bright.

He sat up, rubbed his forehead, and thought about what happened yesterday. He felt a little pain in his head.

"what to do......"

How should I deal with my relationship with Fuji and Nunu, and how should I deal with my daughter's affairs?

Closing his eyes, he stood up silently and walked towards the bathroom...

After putting on the school uniform, he frowned on the way to school, quietly came to the classroom, sat down, and just sat there in a daze, thinking about how to deal with the relationship with Fuji and Nunu.

"Even though we haven't seen each other for a long time, he doesn't seem to have any resistance. He doesn't want me and my daughter to recognize each other. Is there some reason behind this?"

Once again, I remembered that it was my mother who told me about this.

"So she already knew about this. Ever since I came to Tokyo, when she first came to see me, she mentioned that she was missing someone she knew, a girl, right?"

With a complicated mind, he spent almost the entire day thinking about things related to Fujiwa. It was not until noon, a long time later, that he came to his senses and slowly walked out of the classroom, but he didn't know where to go.

'She must know something, right?'

I thought of Feng Xiaochun, but deep down I didn't really want to talk about this matter with her. I closed my eyes slightly, and after some hesitation, I decided not to meet Feng Xiaochun for the time being.

He went to the cafeteria alone, ordered a bowl of udon noodles, and simply filled his stomach. Then he returned to the classroom and continued to think deeply.

Some things will always become more complicated as you keep thinking about them.

When the school bell rang, Xianren felt that his brain was about to collapse, and he hurried out of the classroom. Under the surprised gazes of acquaintances, he left the school building, ran out of the school gate, clicked on the address on the map, and took the subway for about an hour.

Arriving in Adachi District again, Kento was standing at the door of an appraisal agency. He went inside and briefly explained his purpose to the receptionist. The other party was a little surprised when he saw Kento's high school uniform.

"This is her hair and mine, and this is the cost."

The appraisal fee of 19,800 yen was not expensive from the wise man's point of view. After watching the other party put the two hairs away, he asked about the approximate time for the appraisal.

"Normally, it will take a week, and the results will be mailed to your residence, Mr. Miyamizu."

"Thank you."

After entrusting everything to the other party, Xianren left the appraisal agency and met someone at the door whom he didn't really want to see at the moment.

The black luxury car was parked steadily by the roadside, and Feng Xiaochun was sitting quietly in the car with the window rolled down. Xianren had just walked out of the agency, and his eyes met with Feng Xiaochun's who was staring at the door.

He was very clear about his own affairs in his heart, and he basically couldn't hide it from Feng Xiaochun, but when he saw her sitting in the car and walking out of the appraisal agency, Xianren couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He walked slowly to the car, opened the door skillfully, got in, and watched the window rise. Xianren looked at Feng Xiaochun beside him.

"How much do you know?"

"I don't know much, because I just noticed what happened to Ms. Fujiwa. I will only follow Xianren."

A reassuring answer...not at all.
