I won't be a loser.

Sayuri Sawamura, who was at home, seemed a little absent-minded and a little surprised when she saw her daughter coming back. She opened her mouth to ask and saw the empty look in her daughter's eyes.

"What happened?"

"......"

A man walked leisurely on the street, returned to his apartment, pushed open the door and entered the house, breathing the familiar air, put down his schoolbag, and sat down at his desk, looking at his computer and opened the browser.

I made an appointment to meet with Fuji and Nunu on the weekend, but considering that Elio is still a child, it will probably become a date for three of us.

But it's not a big problem. There's nothing wrong with having Elio around. It's better to understand the child's thoughts on some things. Simply from his personal perspective, or Fuji and Nunu's thoughts, it would be too dictatorial.

Single-family houses are very good, and I feel there is nothing wrong with apartments. I have carefully observed both of them. I have seen many single-family houses, so I have some experience with them.

Based on different needs, he quickly selected a house that he thought had no problems. He used his newly bought copier to print out the documents and carefully observed the various conditions on them.

Such as the basic space size, room layout, as well as the geographical location and surrounding store facilities.

"It should be large enough for three people to live in, with two rooms, and other facilities."

After staring at the real estate content for a while, he couldn't help but rub his sore eyes. In recent times, just looking at the information about these properties has made his eyes sore.

"You have to pay attention to your eyes. If you become nearsighted later, it will be troublesome."

It is rare to regain clear vision, and the wise man does not want to experience worrying about his eyesight problems again.

Thinking of his past eyesight, he couldn't help but think of his family, and his sister, which made Xianren a little concerned about Miyamizu Yotsuba's age.

"Yoshiha's current age should be not much different from Elliot's, so she's three or four years older than Elliot, right?"

Thinking of his sister, who was three or four years older than his daughter, Xianren suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, as if he had done something extremely evil.

But if you think about it carefully, Fuji and Nv Nu, as the daughter's mother, are already adults, so things don't seem so bad.

Even though he had only recently become an adult, he was still an adult after all.

"If Yotsuba knew about this niece, I wonder what she would think. Mitsuha would definitely be..."

Thanks to Xianling, Xilili, Kurusu Maye, Wanna Be Smashed by Judas, Shenyinzhe, and Yeyue Xixiao for their monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

Another year begins: 330. What are your intentions for further studies?

On Saturday morning, Xianren saw the test results in the mailbox of the apartment. He did not read the extra content and his eyes quickly fell on the result column.

"Based on DNA testing results, it cannot be ruled out that the paternal lineage sample is the biological father of the child being tested. Based on analysis of 15 different genetic loci, the probability of this biological relationship is 99.9999%."

He silently closed the test results and sat quietly at his desk. He had not expected that the results of the appraisal would come into his hands so soon. After getting the definite scientific verification, he was completely relieved. He sat quietly at the desk and fell into long thought.

I don’t know if Fuji and Nunu have time today. If they do, we can go out together to take a look at the apartments and single-family houses that he has carefully selected during this period of time that are more suitable for living.

He sent a text message to the other party and put the test results into his drawer. After closing the drawer, he looked at his schoolbag.

Today is Saturday, and I still have to report to school in the morning. I have free time starting at noon. In the afternoon, I can go and have a look with Fuji and Nunu. The appointment is for Sunday, but it’s harmless to go and have a look in advance.

It is not appropriate to tell Teng and Nunu yet what he is going to do on Sunday. He plans to tell Teng and Nunu where he is going and what he is going to do today so that she can be mentally prepared. It is too rash and he has no hope of success.

October 5, 9:8

The time for him to become an adult is getting closer and closer. He doesn't know what the situation will be like at that time, and he feels a little uneasy in his heart.

"Is it because of my own incompetence that I feel this trembling and uneasy feeling deep in my heart?"

It was as if he was back to that day, seeing his lover covered by a white cloth. Xianren closed his eyes slightly, took deep breaths, adjusted his mood, pursed his lips, opened his eyes again, and slowly left the apartment.

"Overall, I feel that a game like Blood Curse is indeed a bit too difficult for the average person. Without using unorthodox strategies, it's indeed quite difficult to conquer the game head-on."

"She hasn't replied to my messages. We've been dating for three months, but I'm the one who always contacts her. Yesterday, I heard from the other members of the baseball club..."

"Your father is already in his forties, isn't he? He's actually afraid of dogs?"

On the way to school, Xianren heard other people talking on the same road, and he started thinking about something related to pets. He was not very interested in dogs. They were indeed cute, but they could be very troublesome once they went crazy.

Personally, I feel more interested in cats. It may be that the book he once read gave him a different feeling about cats.

But although he likes a cat, it is a little difficult for him to raise one himself. He has a slight obsession with cleanliness. Even if cats like cleanliness, it is only limited to pets, so he still has some minor reservations.

"Miyamizu-kun."

"Good morning, Hinami-san."

Seeing Hinami Aoi who just arrived at the school gate, Xianren, who was quite considerate in etiquette, nodded slightly and greeted the girl in response to the greetings from his classmates.

"Rumor has it that Miyamizu-kun has a lot of female friends, but he goes to school alone every day."

"There aren't many people living near me who are students from Toyonosaki. Even if there are people traveling the same way as me, they're all relatively unfamiliar. It's a bit difficult for me to force myself to strike up a conversation with someone I don't know."

"But other people probably wouldn't mind meeting a writer friend."

From the school gate, on the way towards the school building, Xianren and Nan Rikui walked side by side. Xianren didn't know many acquaintances, but Nan Rikui kept greeting people he didn't even know.

He didn't have any special talent in socializing, but the girl had quite outstanding abilities in this regard.

"Have you ever thought about your major after graduating from high school and entering university?"

In terms of academic performance, she is among the top students in the class, and even among her age group, she is firmly in the upper middle level. She will not have any major problems getting into university, but I don't know what her plans are for the future.

"I'm a little surprised that Miyamizu-kun would ask me such a question. Are you planning to consider your future and go to the same university as me? Eriri will be jealous, right?"

"I've already decided on a university. I recently asked the teachers at the private school to contact the university internally. I should have no problem getting into the university."

Hinami Aoi looked at the boy next to her with a little surprise. She didn't expect that the other party had contacted the university so early.

"Recommended for admission?"

"It's not really a recommendation, it's just a normal admission based on grades."

"But I'm still in my second year of high school, so promotion is only in my third year, right?"

"Well."

He did not explain this matter any further, nor did he tell the girl next to him that he would be directly admitted to Chiba University after the end of his second year of high school.

There is no need to stir up unnecessary waves at this time.

After entering the school building and putting on indoor shoes, they walked towards the classroom. Xianren moved faster. When he entered the classroom and sat down, Hinami Aoi followed behind, slowly walking into the classroom and sitting in her seat.

He didn't know when it started, but he gradually began to feel uncomfortable staying in such a crowded environment. Whenever he saw other people sitting around him in the classroom, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

Hinami Aoi sat down and fell into deep thought. She recalled the things that Xianren had just talked about with her, and couldn't help but think about her future.

"What are your future plans for further study?"

It is indeed time to consider this. When it comes to the third year of high school, students will be divided into classes according to their different intentions. She wants to be with Eriri Sawamura, but she doesn't know what Eriri Sawamura's future plans are.

"As a young lady, you shouldn't be too concerned about the future, right? No, it's a bit rude to think so, but if it were Eriri, what would you consider when going to school?"

She subconsciously glanced behind her. She felt that no matter what, she was inseparable from Miyamizu-kun. It seemed that her future path would definitely be to get as close to Miyamizu-kun as possible...

In fact, it was just as Hinami Aoi thought. Once the time came to submit her career intention, Eriri, who knew Kento, would definitely choose liberal arts, and would try her best to determine Kento's intention in the following time.

Just as she was thinking, the blonde girl slowly walked from the classroom door to her seat. Looking at Hinami Aoi who seemed to be lost in deep thought, she was a little surprised.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Well, you're here. I was just thinking about my future career path when I ran into Miyamizu-kun at the school gate. He suddenly asked about this matter. I feel like it's really time to think about this. I don't know what to choose. Eriri, where are you going?"

The blonde girl who was being questioned frowned, noticing a detail: it was Xianren who asked about Hinami Aoi's career, rather than Hinami Aoi suddenly asking about Xianren's career.

There was a hint of danger, which made Eriri unable to help but turn her head and glance at the wise man sitting behind her.

Noticing that Xianren's attention was not on her, but was frowning as if he was thinking about something, Eriri gradually withdrew her gaze and looked at Hinami Aoi who was sitting next to her.

Judging from what she knew now, he didn't seem to have any extra energy to get involved with other girls. She was just being too sensitive.

"I think we've talked about my future career path before. I've decided on liberal arts, but I'll have to wait until that time to finalize my specific major."

"Third grade?"

"That's about it. Are you planning to go into liberal arts as well?"

"Well, I feel there's no difference, so I'll choose something that interests me more and go into the liberal arts. When I have extra time in the future, I can also take the teacher qualification exam and become a teacher."

Kento didn't care about the conversation between Hinami Aoi and Eriri. He sat quietly in his seat. From the moment he entered the classroom, he had been waiting for school to end.

Thinking about what happened in the afternoon, I hadn't seen any response from Fuji and Nunu yet, and I didn't know what the specific situation would be at that time. I took out a book from my schoolbag, forced myself to calm down, and started reading the book in my hand.

Time passed by unknowingly until the school bell rang. Xianren, who was reading a book, suddenly came to his senses. He looked up at his classmates who were almost all relieved, put the label on the book, closed the book in his hand, and looked at the message on his mobile phone.

"I work in the afternoon and get off around four o'clock."

It was equivalent to being politely rejected. Xianren didn't have much thought about it. They couldn't go to see it together today, and it would be the same tomorrow. He stared at her text message, hesitated for a moment, and finally sent her a message.

"Tomorrow might be a bit rough. It's a long walk and very demanding, so be prepared."

"Is there a possibility that I can refuse to go out tomorrow and sleep at home?"

"Doorbell urging. Three consecutive gusts of wind?"

Looking at Fujiwa Noguchi's answer, he couldn't help but recall the time when he was a guest at Fujiwa Noguchi's house. In a place like Itomori where there were almost no entertainment options, the few entertainment activities at home were probably electronic games. Fujiwa Noguchi had a somewhat old red and white video game console.

The Miyamizu family is a Shinto-inspired family, and the family consists almost entirely of women. They rarely pay attention to the feelings of the wise man, and don't know much about what boys like. As the father, Miyamizu Toshiki is away from home all year round, so there is even less hope.

Therefore, in the summer, when Xianren had nothing to do during the holidays, he would go to Fuji and Nv Nv's house. The two of them would sit together to comfort each other, facing the black and white TV in the living room, holding the controllers in their hands, and playing games.

At that time, time passed very slowly and every day was free and easy. Even Xianren could not help but be infected by the atmosphere. When he played games with Fuji and Nunu, he used some moves from the game as part of the dialogue.

As he grew up, he no longer had that feeling. From the day Fuji and Nunu left, he seemed to have "grown up" all of a sudden.

"who are you chatting with?"

The voice came from his ear, and he turned his head to look at the blonde girl standing next to him, Hinami Aoi next to her, and Ogiwara Sayu who also came to his side, looking at him with subtle eyes but hiding her expression, looking a little uneasy.

He casually exited the SMS interface, locked the screen and put it back in his pocket. He looked at the three girls beside him, not knowing what they came for.

"Mother of my child, what do you want?"

"what?"

He narrowed his brows and filtered the thoughts in his mind before he understood what the wise man meant.

"Forget it, you're free this afternoon, right?"

"Originally, I didn't have anything to do, but now I have time, but I also don't have time. Do you want to ask me to go shopping?"

"The three of us are planning to go shopping, but there aren't any boys around. It's inevitable that we'll be approached by some, and it's going to be very troublesome to reject them one by one. So, would you like to go shopping with us, Miyamizu-kun?"

Hinami Aoi briefly explained the reason for the invitation, which made Xianren's eyes scan the three girls in front of him. He also admitted that given the looks of the three girls, it was normal for them to be approached.

"In short, you need a shield to avoid those boys who would approach you, right?"

"Well, that's pretty accurate. So, Miyamizu-kun, are you free this afternoon?"

I felt that since Eriri was the one who initiated it, there was no need to have too high expectations for the outcome, so Hinami Aoi would be in charge of the communication.

"Normally, I would refuse, but I don't have anything to do right now, so it's okay to just take a quick stroll. But don't get your hopes up too much, I could leave at any time."

"It's okay, then, let's go now. I happen to be feeling a little hungry!"

Eriri, who was constantly signaled by Hinami Aoi with her eyes, opened her mouth but pursed her lips. She was still a little depressed because Kento choked her a little just now. Ogiwara Sayu agreed and whispered that the other two could make the choice.

The decision-making power suddenly fell on Hinami Aoi. Hinami Aoi, who was relatively familiar with these things, did not mind. She made a choice immediately and gave a brief introduction to the restaurant.

"I have no opinion."

"I do not have either."

The three girls' gazes fell on Xianren, who nodded slightly.

"Then, let's go?"

Thanks for the tip from "Today I Want Some Lolita"! The boss is generous! Stay healthy!

Thanks to Baihe Xiaoniao for the blade! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

Another year has passed and the seeds have begun to sprout: 331. Perhaps, after many years, mother and daughter can become sisters?

He agreed to go shopping with the three of them, but in fact, not long after they arrived on the street, Ogiwara Sayu kept signaling with her eyes, which made Xianren, who had no interest in the first place, find an excuse to leave after shopping with them for a while and treating them to lunch.

"Are you going back so early?"

"It's already one in the afternoon. It'll be dark in four hours. Well, it's almost summer, so it'll probably be dark in about five hours."
