I won't be a loser.

Facing the gaze of Kiyoura Setsuna, Saionji Sekai quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"So, what happened between you and Xianren? In the dream."

"It's a little tricky. Kento and I seem to have been married for a long time, yet we still don't have children. Furthermore, we're still running the family restaurant, and we live together. Kento looks a little old, and uh—ah, and Setsuna, it seems you've gone abroad."

"Go abroad."

After a moment of silence, Qingpu Setsuna slightly turned sideways and stared at Saionji Sekai beside him.

"What's wrong?!"

"No... is that all?"

"Well, Setsuna, it seems you went abroad quite early, probably at the end of your second year of high school. As for Xianren and I, I don't know how we met, so I don't have a very deep impression. Anyway, we were together, that's all!"

After finishing the report, Sekai Saionji was also observing Kiyoura Setsuna's reaction. She didn't know whether she would be angry, but she felt that Kiyoura Setsuna might be angry, so she took the initiative to tell her. She always felt that it would be very interesting.

"Sophomore in high school."

It will not be realistic because Kiyoura Setsuna is not planning to go abroad in her second year of high school. She plans to consider going abroad in her third year of high school.

and.

No matter how she looked at Sekai Saionji beside her, Kiyoura Setsuna didn't think that Kento would choose to be with her.

"In your dream, did you threaten the wise man with a knife?"

"No!"

"I see. I thought you were the one threatening Xianren with a knife."

"I wouldn't go that far!"

Facing the complaining world of Saionji, Kiyoura Setsuna didn't care much anymore. She quietly lowered her head and read the book in her hand. She no longer had many thoughts, only wanted to...

After finishing their studies at the private school, the three of them went back home together, then met near the subway station and went to Shibuya together.

Because it was summer vacation, there were quite a few younger people on the streets. When they saw the three girls standing together, many of them went over to chat with them. Saionji Sekai's personality was a little better with acquaintances, but she found these people very difficult to deal with, and it was basically Kiyoura Setsuna who rejected them.

Sanye, who was more introverted, basically hid behind the two of them, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they reached the women's department store.

"Ha—those boys are so troublesome. They strike up a conversation with everyone they see."

"Well......."

"It would be nice if the wise man were here."

silence.

Saionji Sekai's words made the three of them not know what to say next. After a moment, it was Mitsuha who took the initiative to point to a dress.

"That dress looks nice—"

When I woke up, it was already afternoon and I had a slight headache.

Reversing day and night patterns can cause tremendous damage to the body and mind.

He walked out of the living room in a daze and saw Feng Xiaochun making tea in the living room. He walked to the sofa and sat down.

His virtuous wife brought the tea to him.

"Thank you."

"Will you go back at night, sage?"

"Go back. It's nice to stay here with you, but with Mitsuha's personality, if you don't pay attention, you never know what will happen."

"Ah."

Feng Xiaochun is very considerate. When you are with her, you don’t have to worry about too many things.

After putting on his clothes and taking another look at the scenery of the port area, Xianren said goodbye to Feng Xiaochun and silently took the subway back to Koishikawa in Bunkyo Ward. He entered the apartment, but found that Sanye was not at home.

The call was made.

"Hmm? I'm outside right now, with Setsuna and the others. I'll be back soon."

"Oh, I'll prepare dinner then."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, I started preparing dinner.

Sanye, carrying a lot of bags, returned home from outside. She saw Xianren sitting in the living room, staring at his mobile phone. She put the bags in her hands aside, picked up one of them and handed it to Xianren.

"this."

"Ok?"

I was casually flipping through the current popular novels when I suddenly saw a small box handed to me. I looked at my sister in front of me, was silent for a moment, and reached out to take it.

"Thank you."

"See if you like it."

After opening it and taking a look, Xianren was a little surprised to find that it was a real gift, not a pop-up clown or a fake snake.

"Why a tie?"

"I don't know what to give you. Maybe after a few years, you'll need it."

"......"

After a moment of silence, Xianren looked at the gift tie, silently closed the box, stood up and put it on the desk.

"Well, provided I don't forget this, I might be able to use it when I go to college."

"I'll be a college student next year."

"18 is the right age to go to college, but I started a year late."

"I know, but...I'm going to school here alone, and I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"why?"

"Why... You're the only one I know here, brother. The others are just your acquaintances. Without you..."

An anxious Mitsuha looked at her brother. Even though she had always said that she longed for Tokyo, when she actually arrived in Tokyo, she found that the city was not as prosperous as she had imagined.

For her, some things in the bustling world are difficult to face alone.

“That’s what growing up is.”

Walking up to Mitsuha, Xianren placed his hand on top of her head, gently stroking his sister.

"People always have to learn to grow up, leaving behind the protection of their parents and facing the daily necessities of life all alone. They have to clean their rooms, eat their meals, and sleep alone... Unable to bear the loneliness, they become those who wander the streets."

Reversed day and night, headache

Thank you everyone for your recommendation votes!

Everyone's wise man: 375. Return to Itomori

Wrapped in a thin blanket and feeling her brother lying beside her, Mitsuha felt a subtly complicated mood. She no longer had much thought about continuing her studies in Tokyo. Tokyo without her brother was not the Tokyo she wanted to stay in.

"There are good high schools in Chiba, right? Can't I go to a high school in Chiba with you?"

"Then why don't you just go to high school in Hida? Doesn't Hida have good high schools? You don't have to go to Tokyo or Chiba to study, right?"

"Are you stupid?!"

After a moment of silence, Sanye turned over and looked at her brother beside her. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand, put it around his waist, and hugged her brother tightly.

Feeling the three leaves pressed against him, Xianren lying on the bed did not make a sound for a while, lying quietly on the bed, feeling the arms around him getting tighter and tighter, then slowly opened his eyes, slowly looked down, and looked at the hands in front of him.

They didn't say anything because they didn't know what to say. In the silence, they both fell into a deep sleep...

After Sanye went to the private school, Xianren, who was alone at home, took off his home clothes, put on a light blue short-sleeved shirt and white shorts, and went to the "coffee shop".

"Don't you need the person to accompany you?"

"If you spend all day together, you'll gradually tire of each other. Only by maintaining a proper distance can you discover the beauty in each other."

"Crooked."

Futaba Rio sat next to the wise man, her eyes slowly falling on the book in her hands.

Glancing at the book in Futaba Rio's hand - "Natural Laws and the Structure of Matter"

"physics?"

"Uh-huh."

He glanced at the wise man beside him in confusion, and found that he was reading the book in his hand, so he nodded.

My talent in physics cannot be said to be average, it can only be said to be non-existent.

Xianren, who was not very interested, just glanced at her and then lay quietly beside Futaba Rio, feeling the tranquility of the moment until noon. He prepared lunch for Futaba Rio, and after they finished lunch, Futaba Rio suddenly opened her mouth and said that she wanted to go to Shinjuku.

"I want to go to Shinjuku."

"Hmm? What are you going to do in Shinjuku?"

"I don't know. I just want to go to Shinjuku, even if I don't do anything."

Futaba Rio looked at Kento beside her. Kento, who had just finished lunch, didn't really want to go out, but Futaba Rio rarely spoke, and thinking of what happened last time, he nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to change my clothes, please wait here for me."

"Ah."

The girl returned to her bedroom and reappeared in front of the wise man half an hour later.

"Let's go."

He paired a pure white short-sleeved shirt with blue denim shorts, which was the exact opposite color of Xianren's clothes.

Looking at Rio Futaba walking out of the bedroom, he looked down at his clothes. He didn't know if they could be considered couple outfits. He looked at the time on the wall.

13:23

"Let's go."

It wasn’t too early, and by the time we arrived in Shinjuku, it was almost two in the afternoon.

It took about half an hour to get to Shinjuku from the Yurakucho Line to the Shinjuku Line. When I came out of Shinjuku Station, I looked at the scorching sun above my head and the pedestrians on the surrounding streets. It seemed that no one was afraid of the heat.

They arrived at the southeast exit of Shinjuku Sanchome and saw a crepe shop. Xianren pointed in that direction and asked Futaba Rio.

"Want to try that?"

“Crepes?”

"Ah."

Futaba Rio wasn't really interested, but after hearing Kento speak up and looking at the people queuing over there, which didn't seem to be that many, she hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Let's go and line up together."

Feng Xiaochun got out of the car and put on a not-so-conspicuous outfit. He wore a gray beret and a pair of round-frame glasses. He walked slowly on the street, quietly looking at the instrument in his hand, and slowly walked towards a red dot.

When she arrived at the southeast exit of Shinjuku, at the door of a ramen restaurant, she saw Kento and Futaba Rio queuing at the door of a crepe shop from a distance.

Standing quietly on the street corner, she didn't move forward. She watched the two people standing in line, seemingly talking to each other. Her slender white little finger gently pressed the mini earphones on her ears.

"You can go straight to university, right?"

"I don't want to be in such a hurry."

"But I've gone on to college. Do you have any other friends in school?"

"..."

The conversation between Kento and Futaba Rio came into his ears. Feng Xiaochun looked at the two people quietly, and then strolled casually on the street, avoiding the sight of Kento and Futaba Rio. In the blind spot of their sight, Feng Xiaochun looked left and right from time to time.

Perhaps because she looked too young, no one came up to talk to her. Feng Xiaochun was happy to be free, so she picked up her camera and took some pictures of Kento and Futaba Rio.

It took about twenty minutes for the two to buy crepes and temporarily leave the crepe shop. Feng Xiaochun slowly followed them...

Arrived at the door of a karaoke hall.

"..."

Feng Xiaochun, who seemed to have never heard Xianren sing before, was silent for a moment, then walked in and booked a room, asking to be next to Xianren.
