I won't be a loser.

"Miyazu-kun, don't you have anything to do this afternoon?"

Xianren, with one hand in his pocket, looked at Hinami Aoi who was a little confused in front of him, and frowned and smiled lightly.

"But before I came out, I told you that I would probably turn back halfway, right? It's getting late, and I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."

He raised his arm and waved it gently, with his eyes lowered. He looked like a man in low spirits, and turned to walk towards the station. Looking at his leisurely back, the blonde girl also lowered her eyes.

He silently picked up his schoolbag and suddenly stood up. Looking at his two friends who were still sitting in their seats without any reaction, he bit his lip.

"I'm going back first. Let's meet again tomorrow when we have time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, leaving Ogiwara Sayu and Hinami Aoi looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Ah, all of a sudden, there are only two of us left. Should we continue shopping for a while, or go back now?"

"Everyone's already out. I don't know what to do if I go back right away. I might as well shop for a while. I happen to want to buy some new clothes. Hinami, do you have anything you want to buy?"

"I don't really want to buy anything, but I don't know what to do when I get back. I'll go shopping with you for a while."

Hinami Aoi also couldn't understand and guess what those two people were thinking. They had already invited each other, but there was no progress at all. Judging from Eriri's reaction, she felt that it would be better for them to give up. Facing a boy like Miyamizu-kun who was not proactive at all, it was simply impossible for Eriri, with her personality, to successfully win him over.

Since Eriri is not here now, Hinami Aoi looked at Ogiwara Sayu beside her with some curiosity.

"Do you think those two people are possible?"

"Ok?"

"Miyamizu-kun and Eriri."

"I think it might be a little difficult. With Izawa... Eriri's personality, it would be difficult for her to have a shojo manga-like plot with Miyamizu-kun."

"Reality isn't a shojo manga. For someone like Miyamizu-kun, who has a rather cold personality, if she meets someone like Eriri, I think it would be best for her to give up sooner rather than later."

Hinami Aoi looked down at the orange juice in front of her, which was less than half full, and sighed softly.

"The relationship between those two is exhausting just by looking at it."

“It’s not that…”

Ogiwara Sayu didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She was chatting with someone who could be considered a friend about another friend and the person she liked. The complicated relationship made her purse her lips and give up commenting.

"Wait a moment."

"Wait a moment......."

"I told you, wait a minute!"

The blonde girl followed behind Xianren, and seeing that Xianren didn't slow down at all, she couldn't help but grit her teeth. She stared fiercely at the figure in front of her, quickened her pace, came to his side, and reached out to grab his sleeve.

He slowed down his pace a little, looked at the girl who was grabbing his sleeve, and just wanted to go back to rest early and prepare for going out tomorrow. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Nothing special, I just want to go back and rest early."

"It's only one in the afternoon."

"It's just right to take a nap. Having a good sleep can ensure your height growth."

"Are you the good kid who ran away from somewhere?"

"Always a good boy."

Although she slowed down her pace a bit, she still walked towards the station. When she reached the stairs, Eriri let go of her hand and walked quietly beside Kento. The two of them came to the platform and waited quietly for the arrival of the subway, but found that Kento suddenly kept a distance from her for some reason.

"doing what?"

"Nothing, it just makes me feel safer this way."

"what?"

Looking at Xianren who was keeping a distance from her, Eriri looked at the subway in front of her and couldn't help biting her lip.

"I wouldn't do anything like that!"

"I know, but I still think it's better to keep your distance. Even if you don't show it as young as you do, considering that you are a high school student now, I can't rule out the possibility that you will be affected by it."

"So your current promiscuous relationship is influenced by your body?"

"I don't deny the possibility."

As the subway arrived at the station, Xianren entered the carriage and felt a little annoyed when he saw the girl sitting next to him.

"Go home early. I'm going home to rest."

"Home alone?"

"Who knows, maybe he'll go back and invite three or four girls to have a party at my apartment."

“You used to…”

Just as she opened her mouth, the blonde girl closed her mouth and lowered her head silently.

Sitting in the train car, their bodies swayed slightly with the movement of the subway. An unintentional physical contact caused the girl's gaze to fall on the boy beside her, but she saw a calm expression on his face...

When they arrived at the station, the two people who came out of the subway had no more communication. Every time they came into contact, there was silence in the end.

When Xianren returned to his apartment, the blonde girl followed him quietly until he entered the apartment. She stood at the door and stared at Xianren who had entered.

The two looked at each other, and the wise man who was being looked at was also helpless.

"......"

"......"

After staring at each other for a long time, they finally let the other into their apartment.

Just entertain her briefly and then send her away.

Two hours.

Three hours.

Four hours later, the blonde girl slowly came out of the door, looked back at the scene inside the house, pursed her lips, and her expression was not as gloomy as at the beginning. She silently closed the door and left the sage's apartment.

The wise man sat alone on the edge of the bed, leaning against the soft pillow, with a somewhat dejected expression on his face.

At night, around 19 p.m., after a simple dinner and ready to rest, I received a reply from Fujiwa Nunu.

"Nine o'clock?"

He was asking about the meeting time tomorrow morning. After thinking about the time, it seemed about the same.

"I'll pick you and the kids up at 9 o'clock."

Fuji and Nvnu, who were home from get off work and ready to rest, sat on the edge of their bed, then slightly turned sideways, looking at their daughter who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed beside them. They looked at the text message sent by Xianren, flipped up, and read the message he sent again.

It’s a long walk and it takes a lot of energy.

"Going out for an outing?"

Judging from her memories of when she was in Itomori, her understanding of Xianren was that he would never go out if he could avoid it. Judging from his personality, he was always somewhat resistant to traveling, so it was unlikely that he would go out for a picnic.

He narrowed his eyes and became increasingly curious, wondering what the wise man was going to do.

"........"

Anyway, the 'read' sign would be displayed. Not knowing what to talk about, Fuji and Nunu put down their phones and lay down quietly.

"Good night."

She whispered softly to her sleeping daughter, then reached out to turn off the bedside light.

The inexplicable panic in his heart made Xianren open his eyes before dawn. Looking at the dark bedroom, he couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hands. He sat on his bed with a look of emptiness and boredom on his face.

He put his hands on his chest, feeling his heartbeat, and frowned tightly, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"There shouldn't be any problems today, right?"

She felt vaguely concerned in her heart, bit her lip, sat up from her bed, turned on the light in the room, then got up and poured herself a cup of tea. The tea was a little cold, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she drank it.

He only took a small sip and poured out the rest of the tea. He then boiled some water for himself and sat down at the desk. Looking at the information he had sorted out earlier, namely the two places in Bunkyo Ward, he felt a little satisfied.

One is in Korakuen and the other is in Kasuga.

Both were places Xianren had seen before. He just disliked Kasuga's house because it was a little small. But now he felt that it was completely sufficient for his family to live in.

“Gift tax.”

The wise man sitting in the room closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.

The biggest problem with wanting to give Fujiwa and Nv'nu a house is the gift tax. If you want to put the property in Fujiwa and Nv'nu's name, you can't escape the gift tax issue. As they have no relationship, even if he is Elliot's father, this property is...

Suddenly he thought of himself and Fujiwa Nunu, who were not even husband and wife. The gift tax rate was higher than that of ordinary relatives. He thought of his relationship with Elliot.

"I'm not old enough to get married yet, so I'm not married to Fuji and Naruto. Even if we were married, the tax deduction would still be quite high. But if this is a gift from a father to his daughter..."

He opened the browser, reconfirmed the information above, and confirmed the tax rate. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He felt that as a biological father, there was nothing wrong with him.

"But that only saved 165 million yen... No, not even a marital relationship, but 415 million yen."

I feel a bit painful.

He stared at the computer in front of him, looked at it carefully for a while, sighed, and closed the computer. He sat down on the edge of his bed again, wanting to lie down and rest, but found that he couldn't fall asleep.

Feeling panicked, I helplessly held my phone and browsed the news online.

After a rather torturous wait, the sky gradually turned white...

Since she just needed to wait for him at home, Fuji and Nunu didn't think too much about it. When she woke up in the morning, she prepared breakfast without deliberately waiting for Xianren.

"Elliot, breakfast is ready."

"Ah."

The girl slowly came to the living room and sat at the dining table. She looked at the breakfast prepared by Teng and Nunu and started to eat quietly.

"I might have to go out today. Do you want to go out together?"

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know either. I'll probably know where to go in a while."

Fujihe Nunu's answer made the girl fall into deep thought. She sat quietly at the dining table without saying anything. She planned to make her own decision after she knew where to go.

"That brother, is he my father?"

Suddenly she raised her head and asked her mother a question. When Teng and Elio saw their mother, they suddenly showed strange expressions and their eyes fell on her and looked at her.

"what?"

"dad?"

"No."

"But didn't he say..."

"No, at least not now. If it ever becomes true, Mom will tell you."

"oh......."

Elio didn't care much. Since she was old enough to know, there had been no father in her family. Even if Fuji and Nunu denied it, she would just continue her life as before and nothing would change.

For her, the sudden appearance of a father had an impact on her.

It wasn't a well-thought-out decision, but simply her intuition told her that if she had a father, her current life would definitely change.

Looking at his daughter and seeing Elio quietly having breakfast without any other reaction, Teng and Nunu felt a little relieved.

She was also worried that her daughter would suddenly develop a desire for her father.

If she keeps crying out for a father, it will be a bit difficult for her and she doesn't know how to deal with it.

"The child is still young, a little deception... No, no, no, no, no, it won't work. It would be bad if it turns him bad in the future."

When it comes to education, Fujihe Nunu, who is a first-time mother, is not very experienced, but she still hopes that her child can grow up normally, and does not want her child to become a liar in the future.

After breakfast, Fuji and Nunu were responsible for cleaning up.

I do have the urge to be lazy, but Elio is still a little young now. If I want her to handle housework, I guess I have to wait until she is about to graduate from elementary school.

"I wish I could grow up quickly."

Looking at her daughter, Fujihe Nunu felt anticipation in her heart.
