I won't be a loser.

"Ah."

After responding, Qingpu Shanna did not take any action. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to read the textbooks in his hands.

"Ok?"

"Nothing will change if I go in. I might as well use this time to read more books. I might even go to the same university with the wise man."

"........"

Saionji Sekai fell silent, sighed, sat down, and started reading his book without saying anything else.

After chatting with Tsubota for a while, Kento came out of the reception room and saw an acquaintance from the private school. He looked at the three familiar girls but did not disturb them. He looked at Tsubota on the side and gestured that he was leaving. He also said goodbye to Kento with a smile.

He took out his cell phone, sent a text message to Qingpu Shanna, then left the private school, walked to the intersection and got into Feng Xiaochun's car.

"Go back to your apartment, or that house?"

"Apartment, stay overnight in the apartment."

"I see."

After sending Xianren to the door of his apartment, he got out of the car. Just as he reached the door of his apartment and was still taking out the key from his pocket, a figure came down the stairs.

"That girl just now is a third-year senior. I remember she's also a member of the school board. Is she the eldest daughter of the Feng family?"

The action of taking out the key paused, but only for a short while. Xianren took out his key and opened the door of his apartment.

"what's the matter?"

"weekend--"

"I have something to do. Bye."

After entering the apartment and closing the door, Eriri stood at the door, looking at the closed door, and was silent for a moment. She returned to Ogiwara Sayu's room and entered the house. Hinami Aoi and Ogiwara Sayu, who were chatting about the topic, saw Eriri with a cold face.

Deflated.

no doubt.

Without asking in detail what had happened, the two of them talked about the topic, trying to downplay the matter bit by bit.

"Sayu, you've been living here. Have you ever seen him interact with the third-year seniors?"

"Ok?"

Ogiwara Sayu was stunned for a moment, but she understood what Eriri meant. But after thinking about it, the only third-year student she knew... seemed to be only Mito Yuka?

“No, I don’t know…”

Another year of budding: 342. The taste is okay

"People don't always know what they want, and their confusion about the future leads to some deviations in life. This is understandable, right?"

"Are all men like this? They like to talk about empty and boring topics afterward?"

Futaba Rio tilted her head and lay quietly on the pillow, with her back to the wise man beside her. She opened her closed eyes again, looked at the wall in front of her, sighed, and asked back.

"It's also because it just ended that I'm at my calmest, so I can think deeply and seriously about issues that I usually overlook."

"But I want to sleep."

"Didn't you sleep all day yesterday?"

"Look at what time it is now?"

"Ten o'clock."

"Tomorrow, school, bye, sleep."

In a daze, Futaba Rio closed her eyes tiredly, leaving Xianren who was still energetic. She leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the window beside her, but found that the curtains were drawn tightly and she could not see the moonlight outside.

He turned off the small table lamp beside him, then slowly lay down, covered himself with warm quilt, closed his eyes, relaxed a little, and soon fell into a dream.

If it is a holiday, it is naturally difficult to adjust your biological clock by yourself, but during school, no matter how reluctant you are, you still have to adjust your schedule in the face of reality and life.

In just two days, Futaba Rio and Kento had returned to their normal routines.

At noon on Saturday, school was over. Kento came out of the school gate and left the school alone. He went to the Kaiying Society and saw Mari Fukazaki who was working.

"It's so sudden today, is there something wrong?"

When she arrived at the reception room, she saw Xianren who was there. She didn't know why he came here today. Normally, if there was something, they could have a good chat in the evening when she got home from get off work.

As for meeting her at the publishing house during her working hours.

"I want to talk to you about my new work. Well, I know we can talk about it at home, but there are too many extra factors at home. It's better to talk here, it will be relatively quiet."

"Too."

I thought of Machida Sonoko. She is the only additional and unstable factor in the family. There is no problem in chatting with her briefly here.

"So, the new work has been written?"

"not yet."

"I think so too. If it's well written, there's no need to discuss it."

They were able to get along together. Even if they didn't see each other every day, they basically spent most of their time together. Mari Fukaoka was relatively familiar with Kento's affairs. With Kento's schedule, it would be very difficult for him to write a new work.

"Do you have any recommended topics?"

"No, but I think you could consider some more popular themes, like great writers do, describing the world from the perspective of animals."

"Cats have already been written about by my predecessors, so I don't need to write about dogs, right?"

"dislike?"

"For most people, cats are cuter and more acceptable. From a dog's perspective, I've never had a pet."

He closed his eyes and thought for a while. In the town of Itomori, he had seen some pet dogs and stray dogs wandering on the roadside. They were not afraid of people. He had also approached those stray dogs a little and stroked them, but he didn't know much about them.

"What's it like to describe the world from the perspective of a middle school student? What does it feel like to be bullied at school, come home, and face parents who always have too high expectations of you, so you choose to run away from home?"

“It’s a very common subject.”

"While running away from home, he met all sorts of people. How about describing this process in a somewhat fantastical style? In the end, he was lost in his own beautiful dream, accompanying the goblins from the goblin land and landing in an abandoned water tower?"

After hearing the first part of what Kento said, Mari Fukaoka's expression was relatively calm, but after hearing the last sentence, she showed an expression of "as expected".

"Although from my personal perspective, I think it's okay, but have you really never considered writing something that's suitable for all ages?"

“Isn’t this very educational?”

"You can't tell at all."

"The cruelty and darkness of life?"

"Oh, that's a pretty clear point, but... wouldn't it be better to write something your sister can read?"

Kento was stunned by Mari Fukaoka's suggestion. He thought of his two younger sisters in Itomori, and then rethought his previous idea, which seemed a bit dark indeed.

"My sister can watch the content, but the beautiful content...I feel a little difficult."

"Will it be difficult?"

Mari Fukaoka receives a lot of submissions every day, and most of them are positive and uplifting. Looking at the wise man in front of her, she feels that something is special.

"Forget it, just write whatever you want."

"Let me reconsider. By the way, what time do you get off work today?"

"Same as usual, why?"

"Just a casual question. Let's leave it at that for now. I'll go back and think about the plot."

After finishing the conversation with Kazeoka Mari, Kento left Kaiokasha, but was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he went to Akihabara and looked at the various shops around and the maids soliciting people on the street.

I have to admit that some of the maids' outfits are very much in line with Xianren's preferences, but the prices in those maid shops are really outrageous, making Xianren not want to sit in them at all.

No.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go in and sit, but the service and prices inside don’t make him feel very good... It’s better to go to the nearby ear cleaning shop or those back massage shops.

"The Meiji-era Japanese maid costumes are quite interesting, but who are they for..."

Futaba Rio?

It feels very cute, but it still feels a bit delicate when worn by her.

"Hmm, past... era, um, a time-travel type of work? A modern male protagonist meets a girl from the Meiji era, and they fall in love across time and space. At the end, time is changed and he sees her now with white hair?"

This kind of plot seems to be very popular, but it is not common in the market, referring to the kind of ending that is not so happy.

As she was strolling on the streets of Akihabara, thinking about her new work, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Especially when she saw the petite figure next to her, her expression suddenly became suspicious.

'Did you see it wrong?'

But after staring at it for a while, the hair color and back figure looked like...

Feeling somewhat concerned, Xianren fixed his eyes on the two people not far in front of him. He gradually approached the two people and saw the familiar faces.

"Well, isn't that a wise man? What are you doing here? Are you tired of being lonely and want to have some romantic encounter with this lovely young lady?"

"I just came here for a walk and a look around. But you and Elliot, you came here alone, aren't you also here for a walk?"

"You guessed it right! Congratulations! You're truly a wise man, understanding my thoughts so thoroughly. Could it be that you've been secretly following me and keeping an eye on my life? Hmm~ I'm a little touched~"

Seeing Fuji and Nunu who seemed to be excited, as well as some people looking at them, Xianren reached out his hand, pulled Fuji and Nunu's sleeve, and looked at Elio beside him. The three of them entered a relatively fresh coffee shop.

The three of them sat down. Xianren ordered a cup of tea for himself, and Fuji and Nunu ordered two glasses of juice. Then Xianren asked Elio if she had any desserts she liked.

"Just order it."

Elio didn't react much to Xianren's words. It was only when Fuji and Nunu said it was okay that she lowered her head and looked at the desserts on the menu again.

"So the wise man likes tea so much? Has he already entered old age early?"

"What are you doing out here today?"

"Take a walk."

In response to Fujiwa Onna's answer, Xianren simply smiled at her.

He knew that his answer would not satisfy the wise man, so he did not continue to hide it and expressed his thoughts.

"Take a look at those maid cafes and observe how they operate. Didn't you ask me before if I wanted to run something of my own? So you thought about opening a cafe, um, a cafe that sells Japanese sweets?"

"Traditional style?"

“I haven’t thought about it that much, but this is how it should be run.”

"funds?"

"apartment."

After a brief conversation, Xianren understood Fujihe Nunu's thoughts. He couldn't help but poke his forehead with his finger. His expression suddenly became tortured. He pursed his lips tightly, lowered his eyes, and looked at Fujihe Nunu in front of him little by little.

"reason?"

"I'm still thinking about it. I'm just thinking about it. I'm not going to prepare for it right away. Even I wouldn't do anything reckless."

“Totally unconvincing.”

After the waiter brought tea and juice and placed dessert in front of Elio, Xianren calmed down a little, picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

"I haven't prepared yet, I just had this idea for the time being. The weather happened to be good today, so I came out."

"If you have this idea, you can contact me. Forget about the apartment. This is for Elliot. I hope she can grow up healthy... Okay."

"I know."

"I don't look like you knew at all. If you did, you wouldn't have said that just now."

"Angry?"

"No."

"That's anger."

Elliot watched the two of them talking, not quite understanding what they were discussing. However, as he watched the sage gradually calm down from his angry expression, he felt a subtle feeling in his heart...

Sitting in the coffee shop, I briefly understood Fujihe Nunu's thoughts and knew that she had no intention of running a business in the near future, and I gradually calmed down.
