I won't be a loser.

Seeing Xianren right in front of her, Qingpu Mai's confused mind froze for a moment, but then she began to remember the scene before she passed out. It seemed that she and Xianren went out at night, and then went to a bar together to drink a little, and then she was drunk and was supported by Xianren...

"hotel?"

In the unfamiliar environment, Qingpu Mai covered her forehead and guessed where she was.

"Well, I just got a call. I should go back."

After informing Qingpu Wu, Xianren walked towards the bathroom, leaving Qingpu Wu sitting on the bed. She thought for a while before slowly getting up.

The two of them simply washed up and went back to Qingura's house together. However, due to the distance, when they just arrived at Qingura's house, Mitsuha and Setsuna had already gone to school for a while, while Yotsuha was still at home. When they arrived at Setsuna's room, they found that he was still sleeping.

Qingpu Mai went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed her clothes, and left home because of the restaurant business, leaving Xianren at home with nothing to do.

Grandma's physical examination report will not be available until tomorrow. If we are optimistic, she will probably be back the day after tomorrow.

The wise man was sitting in the living room, supporting his chin with one hand, sitting at the dining table, holding a pen in one hand, looking down at the notes on the dining table, writing and drawing on them, sorting out the things he could do recently and what he should do.

While Xianren was thinking, Yotsuba, who was wearing pajamas, walked out of the bedroom with a very nervous expression on her face, especially when her eyes noticed Xianren sitting in the living room, she widened her eyes.

Noticing the door opening, Xianren looked towards Setsuna's bedroom, met Yotsuba's eyes, and noticed her 'terrified' expression.

"Wake up, Yotsuba, what's wrong?"

"No! Nothing!"

bang——

The door was closed, and Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, was stunned for a moment, feeling that Yotsuba's reaction was a little strange.

Closing his notebook and putting down the pen, he slowly walked to the door of Setsuna's bedroom, stopped and knocked.

"Four leaves?"

No reaction.

When I opened the door, I saw Yotsuba standing beside the mat, her fists clenched and her face blushing.

Thanks to Baihe Xiaoniao and Tsuk for their monthly tickets and blades! Thanks to everyone for their recommendation votes!

Another year of budding: 348. Issues that need to be reconsidered

Looking at Yotsuba who clenched his fists, Xianren couldn't help but look at the bed. He saw a dark spot on the opened bed, which looked like it was soaked by something.

Looking at Yotsuba's nervous and blushing face, I could roughly guess what was going on.

"I... didn't mean to..."

Feeling her brother's gaze, Yotsuba clenched her fists tightly and began to defend herself.

"Well, I can see that. But the current issue isn't whether it was intentional or not. It's about whether I need to wash this quilt. It's a bit troublesome. Have you changed your pants yet?"

Xianren himself didn't remember that Yotsuba had such a habit of wetting the bed. Maybe it was because she was too tired after going to the amusement park yesterday, so she slept too soundly last night and couldn't control herself.

"not yet."

"You go change first, I'll take care of this."

"But...I know."

Thinking about recovering her losses and helping her brother, but under the gaze of Kento, Yotsuba hesitated for a moment, then took her strawberry panties and walked out of the bedroom silently, leaving Kento alone in the bedroom.

Without Yotsuba's disturbance, Xianren was left alone, standing in Setsuna's room, looking at the bed wet by Yotsuba, with a somewhat conflicted expression on his face.

"A rare treasure in the eyes of a pervert?"

A wise man who is a little bit of a germaphobe doesn't even want to touch it.

But considering the problem caused by his sister, as a brother he still had to help deal with it. Standing in the room, he silently took away the clean quilt, put the pillow on Shanna's bed, picked up the quilt, and rolled it up bit by bit.

He held it in his arms and carried it to the living room. Looking at the still closed bathroom, he placed the quilt at the bathroom door.

"elder brother?"

Yotsuba's voice came from the bathroom. Xianren, who was outside, didn't feel anything special when he heard his sister's voice.

"What's wrong, Yotsuba?"

"I heard some noise outside the bathroom, so I wondered if it was my brother."

"It's just me and Yotsuba at home now. By the way, have you thought about lunch?"

"not yet."

"Tell me when you've made up your mind."

"Ah."

There was some movement in the bathroom. After a while, the bathroom door was opened and Yotsuba, wearing strawberry panties, walked out of the bathroom hesitantly.

"Do you need me to help my brother?"

"No, go put on your clothes and pants first. It's almost noon. I'll wash this and then we can go out together."

"......Um."

Washing the quilt was a very troublesome task, but there was nothing he could do about it now. Seeing Yotsuba return to the bedroom, Xianren, who was left alone, looked down at the quilt lying on the floor, sighed, walked to the bathroom, and began his work.

It took about an hour to wash and rinse the quilt before putting it on the balcony to dry in the sun, while Yotsuba looked at her brother with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, brother."

"As a brother, it's almost noon."

He looked at the time and saw the pointer gradually moving from 11 to 12. The two of them didn't feel like doing anything at home, and they had been doing physical work until now, so he was a little tired.

"Let's go out and take a look."

"Ah."

Yotsuba hesitated for a moment, nodded, and went out shopping with Xianren.

While sitting in the restaurant waiting for the meal, Yotsuba saw that Xianren seemed a little absent-minded, which made her feel that Xianren was still dissatisfied with what happened to her in the morning. She felt a little guilty and aggrieved. She lowered her head slightly and looked at Xianren.

I was still thinking about what to do in the afternoon, wondering whether I should take Yotsuba to Shinjuku and Shibuya to buy some new clothes, or go to the movies, when I noticed Yotsuba's gaze.

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about what happened this morning?"

"sorry."

"Although it's a bit unexpected, it's not your fault, Yotsuba. It's just that it might rain soon."

"Ok?"

Seeing Yotsuba smile, and realizing that her brother really didn't care about her bed-wetting, Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you ever thought about living and going to school in Tokyo?"

"why?"

Yotsuba, who didn't know why Kento brought up this, looked at her brother with confusion. Unlike Mitsuha, she didn't have any deep desire for the bustling city, and she was always very satisfied with her life in Itomori.

What's most important is to be with your family. She has lived with her grandmother and mother since she was a child, so when she came to a prosperous and grand city like Tokyo, she felt more unfamiliar.

"Is this city bigger?"

"Itomori is also very good."

"Don't you want to live in Tokyo?"

"I'm not a sister. I grew up in Itomori and don't really want to live in Tokyo."

"Even if Mitsuha is going to study in Tokyo next year?"

"Now that she's gone, I can sleep in a room by myself."

Yotsuba seemed to be indifferent, but there was still some hesitation in her eyes. However, compared to being with Mitsuha, the unfamiliar city of Tokyo made her feel more uneasy.

The waiter brought the food and the two of them had lunch together. Yotsuba didn't say another word as she was thinking about what Kento had said and whether she should stay in Itomori or follow her sister to Tokyo.

Sometime in the afternoon, the two of them went to Korakuen together.

It was not far from where they lived, so they walked around the park together. As a primary school student, Yotsuba was exempted from the entrance fee, but Kento had to pay for it. Then they walked around the botanical garden with their sister, stopping as they pleased.

In the evening, I returned to the apartment and talked about Yotsuba with my mother.

"Is Tokyo coming to school?"

"If you keep waiting, it will be difficult to get into a good high school or university when you finally get there."

"But Yotsuba is still a little young now. Let's think about this later, in middle school. Besides, if it's just Sanye now, it will be enough to give you a headache. Aren't you going to Chiba?"

After a moment of hesitation, Xianren also remembered this matter.

I will wait until next year and directly enter Chiba University, while my younger sister Mitsuha will come to Tokyo from Itomori to go to school.

By then, one of us will be in Tokyo and the other in Chiba.

It's not that they can't live together, but considering the time it takes to travel, it's really a waste for him to spend three hours every day traveling from Tokyo to Chiba and then from Chiba back to Tokyo.

Chiba University's Sumida campus in Tokyo has not been built yet, so it is inevitable that you have to go to Chiba to attend school.

"Have you figured out how to deal with Mitsuha? You won't be able to take care of Mitsuha every day. She's not used to living alone. If not, let her stay in Itomori."

After chatting for a while, it was discovered that not only Yotsuba would stay in Itomori, but now even Mitsuha would have to stay in Itomori as well.

"It won't be a big problem. We can let her live with someone else. After all, there are other people we know who go to school at Fengzhiqi. The two of us can go to school together and take care of Mitsuha."

After looking at her son in silence for a while, Miyamizu Futaba also thought of her son. It seemed that there were some girls with whom she had a good relationship studying in that school. Even if Kento himself was no longer in school, there were others who were able to take care of Mitaba.

"Just know it in your heart."

"Ah."

Siye, who didn't quite understand what her mother and brother were talking about, glanced at them and quietly accompanied her grandmother, knitting a scarf with the wool she had bought.

"Why is the quilt hanging on the balcony and it's still wet?"

In the evening, when Xianren saw Mitsuha, he was met with Mitsuha's questions. He looked at Xianren and Yotsuha who was sitting next to Xianren with suspicion. He didn't quite understand what had happened during the day, which might result in her having no place to sleep tonight.

"I accidentally spilled some drink on it, so I washed it and put it out to dry. You can sleep here on the sofa tonight, and Yotsuba can sleep with Setsuna's mother."

"What about you?"

Mitsuha looked at Xianren with a subtle and strange look in her eyes.

"Setsuna and I have something to discuss. If you want to sleep with Setsuna, that's fine. I can continue to sleep on the sofa."

After staring at Xianren with a subtle look for a while, Mitsuha chose to sleep on the sofa by herself. She wanted to sleep with Setsuna, but she didn't want to become a hindrance to her brother.

"Then I'll sleep on the sofa. But please be careful at night and don't make too much noise—Ugh!"

The back of his hand tapped Mitsuha's head gently, causing the girl to pause for a moment before she could say anything. She almost bit her tongue and looked at Xianren sullenly. When she entered Setsuna's room, she looked back at the sofa in the living room.

Until today, the people who slept there were all his brothers.

Seems like that’s not bad either?

"I'll rest with you tonight."

He entered Setsuna's room and closed the door casually. Looking at Setsuna who was sitting at the desk and reading a book seriously, Xianren told her about the arrangements for tonight.

"Three leaves?"

"She sleeps in the living room."

"I see."

"Was she serious when she was in private school?"

When talking about his sister or the younger generations, the topics always revolve around these topics. Xianren, who had unknowingly distanced himself from Setsuna, didn't know what to talk about with her.

The first question he asked was about his younger sister Sanye.

"She's very serious, and Tsubota also praised her."

"When you were with Sekai, did you ever ask her about her goals?"

"No, I'm not interested."

"That's it."

The two of them sat quietly in the bedroom, one reading a book and the other looking at the person who was reading.

He remained silent for a while. While reading the book, he suddenly looked at the wise man sitting next to him. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
