I won't be a loser.

Mitsuha's face suddenly turned red. This place is very famous not only among foreigners, but also among locals. Mitsuha's expression seemed a little flustered.

"Oh, you're blushing, but don't think too much about it. If my family knew I took you to those stores, I'm afraid you'd be taken back right away, right?"

"Wait? Why me?!"

"Because you are still young."

"......"

Mitsuha puffed up her cheeks like a pufferfish, full of dissatisfaction, but looking at Xianren's calm expression and the somewhat "crazy" crowd around her, she silently moved closer to her brother.

From the Nishi-Shinjuku exit, crossing the road and arriving at Kabukicho, Mitsuha saw another world different from the daytime.

For the girl who had lived in Itomori before and had not yet adapted to Tokyo, everything before her was too shocking. She could not help but lower her head, not daring to meet the eyes of passers-by.

"Hola!! You bastard, do you want to fight?!"

"Why are you so arrogant? You're so loud, I'm going to deafen my ears."

Not long after entering Kabukicho, they heard the sound of quarreling. Mitsuha's body was almost pressed against Kento's. She was really not used to this place.

He took his sister with him, wanting to show her the dark side of the city. After walking for a while, he led Sanye to the door of a barbecue restaurant. After being greeted by the clerk, he entered the barbecue restaurant...

Thank you for your monthly tickets and blades to You Are a Monster, Zhuangbi Trotsky, Huanxinhai, and The Butler of the Scarlet Devil Mansion! Thank you all for your recommendation votes!

Everyone's wise man: 356. Where are you going? I don't know.

"Will I get fat if I eat meat at night?"

"Yes, you should eat less."

I sat down and looked at the menu in front of me. I found that most of the items were meat. There were some vegetables, but compared to the meat, they were not very eye-catching. Moreover, the prices of vegetables were higher.

As a middle school student, Sanye prefers meat to vegetables. Only people like Xianren, who are approaching middle age, will understand how valuable vegetables are to the body.

As the younger sister, Mitsuha heard the answer from Xianren that she could order whatever she wanted, so she looked at the meat on the menu and chose some affordable meat. After Xianren carefully looked at the menu, he chose a lot of more expensive vegetables.

“Are you a vegetarian?”

"Meat alone would make people feel greasy, right?"

"Absolutely not."

"After all, at this age, only when you find yourself overweight will you understand the value of vegetables."

"I'm still growing, so I won't get fat at all!"

"Wow, you're so bold! Go back and stand on the electronic scale and check your weight before you speak."

Mitsuha frowned and glared at her brother, while Xianren calmly ordered a large glass of juice and another iced carbonated soda. Mitsuha looked at the two different drinks, thought for a while, and chose the juice.

Before the meat was served, the wise man took a sip of the free tea.

Sanye, who was sitting in the store, looked at the other people in the store with some concern. She found that some women with heavy makeup were talking, but when she listened carefully to their accents, they sounded very much like men.

When she noticed Sanye's gaze, and even flirted with her enthusiastically, Sanye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She saw the other person's Adam's apple and some stubble on his chin.

He smiled awkwardly and lowered his head hastily.

Xianren, who was sitting opposite Mitsuha, did not notice what Mitsuha saw. He just looked at his sister, suddenly smiled awkwardly, and lowered his head.

As the night progressed, the number of customers in the restaurant increased. When the meat was served on the table, Xianren declined the waiter's help in grilling the meat. He picked up the meat himself and put it on the grilling tray. Sanye watched her brother for a while and tried to grill it herself.

After grilling the meat, dip it in the sauce and it tastes really good. Xianren, who hasn't had barbecue for a long time, also misses the taste a little.

The two sat in the barbecue restaurant for about an hour and a half, and ate all the barbecue they ordered. Sanye was reluctant to get up and just sat in her seat with an expression that showed she was already satisfied with her life.

"Is this no longer enough?"

"I feel a little full and bloated, and I don't feel like moving anymore..."

Sanye, leaning back in her seat, didn't even want to move at this moment.

"If I poke your belly, will a rainbow come out?"

"possible."

Sanye thought about it and realized that if her stomach was poked, she might not be able to bear it.

The two sat in the store to rest for a while, and around ten o'clock, they got up and left the barbecue restaurant. Walking in Kabukicho at night, even though it was late at night, there were still many pedestrians, especially young men and women.

Looking at those girls with bold styles, Sanye couldn't help but look at her brother beside her.

"Hey, did you often come to places like this before?"

"No, not very often. I come here occasionally. The izakayas here are always bustling with activity."

"Izakaya?"

“Even at an izakaya, you don’t have to drink alcohol.”

Looking at his sister, Xianren held her hand and the two of them walked on the street. They felt out of place, but not many people noticed them.

By ten o'clock in the evening, most normal shops had almost closed. Mitsuha looked at the Tokyo night, which felt completely different from the daytime, and looked at her brother beside her.

"Is it always like this in Tokyo? At night."

"Not all of it, just some of it."

After walking for a while, you can see police officers on patrol. The Shinjuku Ward Office is located in Kabukicho. Maybe because there are many problems, there are more police officers patrolling here.

Having attended private school during the day and having just eaten at night, Sanye soon felt sleepy and just wanted to rest early.

"I'm so sleepy. I want to go back and rest. Ah, I don't want to go back either. It seems like I have to wait for a long time. I really want to lie down and rest."

Completely succumbing to sleepiness, Sanye half-closed her eyes and pulled Xianren's hand. She was a little unable to hold on any longer.

"Hey, let's find a place to rest. Isn't there a place to rest nearby?"

"Have."

I am a little tired.

But Xianren was not as strong-willed as Sanye. Listening to the noisy sounds around him and looking at his sister's sleepy face, Xianren thought about it and decided to walk around the neighborhood and found a hotel that looked more upscale.

You may have to look for other places, but in Kabukicho, there is never a shortage of places to rest.

After entering the hotel and registering as Xianren, the front desk clerk handed the room card to Xianren and told him where the room was. He looked at his sister who seemed to be a little more awake and was trying to keep her eyes open.

"Shall we rest here?"

"Well, what if?"

"Just now, it seemed to be 7000 yen?"

"7990 yen to be exact."

After correcting his sister's words, Xianren, who was holding the room card, felt a little sleepy and walked towards the elevator. Sanye hurriedly followed her brother.

The two entered the elevator, waited for the floor, and just walked out of the stairs on the way to the room, they heard some discordant sounds. Sanye was a little confused at first, but when she heard the too obvious humming, her face gradually turned red and she looked at her brother.

"Hey, isn't this place a bit off?"

"Indeed, the soundproofing is a bit poor. Even though this is a hotel that costs nearly 8,000 yen, it still can't completely block out the sound."

Glancing towards the room where the sound came from, Xianren had no intention of knocking on the door.

After walking for a while in the hotel, I arrived at the door of the room. I could still vaguely hear some sounds, but after entering the room and closing the door, the sounds disappeared immediately.

Mitsuha, with a flushed face, looked at her brother nervously.

"Here, is it okay?"

"You've already entered the room, and you're still asking these questions."

The virtuous man, who was not sweating much, was too lazy to take a shower. He walked to the bed and lay down. The bed was very soft, and when he jumped on it, he was bounced.

It was I who said I wanted to find a place to rest immediately.

Mitsuha looked at Xianren who lay down on the bed to rest, hesitated for a moment, and didn't know how to explain her mood at the moment. She felt a little conflicted, as if she was sleeping with her brother in such a delicate place.

We also slept in a hotel in Nagoya, but that time there were four of us together.

Coupled with the strange noise she had just heard outside, Sanye's mood inevitably fluctuated. She stood in the hotel room in silence for a while before slowly coming to her brother's side.

"Isn't it hot?"

I turned on the air conditioner in the room, but it had just started and the room was a little hot.

At least Mitsuha felt a little hot.

"Go to bed early, you still have to go to private school tomorrow."

Xianren, who was lying on the bed, only answered one sentence, which made Sanye fall into silence. She stood quietly for a while, then turned off the lights, lay down next to her brother, and closed her eyes sullenly.

The room suddenly became quiet. Sanye lay on the pillow, seemingly immersed in a dream, but she could vaguely hear some disturbing humming.

I don't know if it was her illusion, or if this street was just so busy...

Xianren did not dream of Fuji and Nunu. Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he gradually sank into a dream. Only some fleeting scenes flashed by. He could not remember clearly what the dream was about. When he opened his eyes, it was the hazy morning outside.

Too noisy.

He woke up with his eyes open and looked at Mitsuha who was still resting beside him. He slowly walked to the window and looked at Kabukicho outside where a new day had begun. He couldn't help but sigh.

Didn't get enough rest.

Maybe it's due to some influence from the past, I can't rest well as long as there is some noise.

He glanced at Sanye who was still sleeping soundly, then looked down at the time on his phone. It seemed that she was not in a hurry either.

"Let her rest a little longer."

He sat on the sofa in the living room, closed his eyes and rested for a while. He found that Sanye had not woken up yet. At eight o'clock, Xian woke up the sleeping Sanye.

He took her on the subway, returned to the apartment, let her wash up, and then let her go to the private school.

"Can't you take a break today?"

Sanye, who was standing in the room, was a little reluctant and didn't really want to go to the private school.

"you sure?"

"Woooa ...

"Just asking you, if you don't want to go I can call Tsubota now."

"......"

Looking at the expressionless Xianren, Mitsuha hesitated in her heart, worried that this was a trap. If she agreed, her brother might use even more severe means... No, what if he was disappointed in her...

Even though Xianren didn't say anything and didn't blame anyone, Sanye was still worried and anxious.

"I go......."

"Hmm? Then I'll take you there."

"Uh... yeah."

Sanye originally thought that going to the private school alone would be a bit lonely and she didn't want to go, but when she heard that it was Xianren who would take her there, she suddenly felt relieved.

After a simple combing of her hair, Mitsuha tied up her long hair as usual and left the apartment with Xianren.

"That's a bit rare. You came to this private school. Didn't you already pass the Chiba University exam? You probably don't need to come here anymore, right? Or are you planning to apply to other schools?"

Pingtian from the private school was a little surprised when he saw the wise man coming, and asked him the reason with a smile.

"Because it was so easy to pass, it seems a little unreal. Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so I might as well read a book here."

He saw two familiar faces in the private school, Setsuna and Sekai. As for May, he didn't see her, which surprised Xianren a little, but he didn't ask Tsubota.

It is not necessary to come here every day. Nakano Satsuki has four older sisters, so it is normal for her to spend some time with her older sisters.

After finding an empty seat in the private school and sitting down, Sanye couldn't help but stare at Xianren for a moment. Seeing her brother reading and studying with her in the private school, she felt a little inexplicably awkward.

But there were many other people around, so she suppressed the awkwardness in her heart, quietly doing her own thing, and no longer paying attention to her brother.

It took two hours from arriving at around nine o'clock to noon.

During the break, the four of them went to a nearby restaurant together. Saionji Sekai hadn't seen Kento for a long time, and when she saw Kento again, she felt a little strange.

It’s hard to describe what the feeling was, but when I looked at Xianren again, the thick filter was gone. I calmed down and looked at Qingpu Setsuna beside me, and I felt more relaxed and relieved in my heart.

"It feels like you haven't been to the private school for a long time. A while ago, I heard from Tsubota that you passed the Chiba University test?"
