I won't be a loser.

"A man and woman in a blue shirt and white shorts, and a man and woman in a white shirt and blue shorts, in the room next to those two."

"Ah good."

Led by the waiter, Feng Xiaochun came to the next room, sat down, and clicked on the headphones.

Don't cry, my loving heart.

Tears don't go with you.

【Let’s just move forward】

I have made up my mind to move forward.

[Ahh, although the smile is gone inside]

It was a hoarse cry, but the voice was too Aokiji-esque and sounded weird.

[The breath of you still makes me stop]

The habits you left behind still influence me today.

[Summer has not yet arrived, so I can only hug you gently to seek warmth and comfort]

"..."

Feng Xiaochun, who was sitting next to him, listened to the songs sung by the two people next to him, and they all seemed to be love songs about broken hearts?

"..."

The person sitting next to her hasn't even started singing yet, and the two people next to her are sitting together, and they're singing some heartbreak song?!

Sitting silently in the private room, leaning quietly on the bench, quietly listening to the two people singing next to her, she closed her eyes.

They sang for two hours, as if the two were competing for the title of "King of Love Songs for Broken Hearts". From the beginning to the end, all the songs were sad, and there was not a single normal or cheerful song.

This went on until the end of two hours. The two of them left the karaoke hall first, and Feng Xiaochun followed behind them, watching them walk north all the way to the east exit of Shinjuku Station, enter a cosmetics store, and shop inside for a while.

Banks, record stores, mobile phone stores, furniture stores...

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Kento received a call and chatted with Futaba Rio beside him, and then the two went to the subway station.

"Have you returned yet?"

Taking off his glasses and hat, Feng Xiaochun watched the car slowly pull up beside him, then quietly got in and headed back to the port area...

"Half of the summer vacation is already over. There's only about a week left before you have to go back to Itomori."

Looking at Sanye lying in front of the table, Xianren, who had returned to the apartment, reminded her. Sanye, who was already very tired, couldn't help but slowly raised her head, glanced at her brother, and then silently lowered her head, with her whole body leaning on the table.

"what."

"Next time, probably next year."

"Can't I come to your place during the holidays?"

"I'm returning to Itomori on New Year's Day. I'll be here... well, I'll probably only be here for a little while."

"So many people are looking forward to celebrating New Year's Eve with you?"

"Aren't you looking forward to it?"

"..."

Sitting up slowly, looking at her brother, Sanye opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then pursed her lips, turned her head, and walked slowly to the bed, lying on the bed, silent...

A week passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for Mitsuha to return to Itomori.

Kento accompanied Mitsuha to the station. Looking at Kiyoura Setsuna and Saionji Sekai who came to see her off, Kento's eyes fell on Mitsuha.

"I've received a lot of care during my time in Tokyo. Thank you very much."

"You are the wise man's sister, so it's only natural for me to take care of you. Back when we were in Itomori, you took good care of us, didn't you?"

At this time, in the world of Saionji, looking at Mitsuha who was about to leave, he felt a little emotional.

"It's vacation time, come again."

Kiyoura Setsuna's answer was much briefer. He looked at the Miyamizu siblings in front of him, his gaze fixed on Mitsuha.

"Ah."

"It's almost time, let's go first. I'll probably be back the day after tomorrow."

"Bon Voyage."

"Ah."

Kento said goodbye to the two of them. Kento, who was not very comfortable with Mitsuha being alone, decided to accompany Mitsuha back to Itomori. As the two girls saw him off, Kento and Mitsuha got on the Shinkansen.

After sending a message, he and Mitsuha took the Shinkansen back to Gifu.

"It's okay for me to be alone."

Sanye did not express much gratitude to the wise man who sent her back. Instead, she felt a little ungrateful.

"It might be okay for you to go back alone, but to avoid any problems, it's better for me to take you back."

Xianren looked down at his cell phone to confirm the time, then slowly looked at Sanye beside him.

Thinking that he had to go back today, Sanye didn't get a good rest last night. He basically tossed and turned while lying on the bed, which made Xianren unable to get a good rest either.

"sleepy."

As soon as she got on the Shinkansen, Mitsuye felt sleepy.

He picked up his mobile phone and took a picture of the window outside the Shinkansen. When it started working, he turned on the video recording mode.

"Are you going to go back and show off to your classmates?"

"I'm not showing off!"

"Ah, indeed, it seems that the only person you have a good relationship with is Hayako?"

"Wow—you."

Mitsuha looked at Xianren with disdain, pursed her lips, stopped her video recording, and sat silently on the Shinkansen, feeling a little tired.

"sleepy."

"If you're tired, then take a rest. It'll take a while to get back to Itomori anyway."

"No."

"is it?"

Looking at the drowsy Mitsuha, Xianren quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

About half an hour later, I felt a weight on my shoulder. I turned around and looked at my side and found that Sanye had fallen asleep.

That's how kids are, they always talk back.

It took an hour and a half to arrive in Nagoya by taking the "Nozomi 2" Shinkansen from Tokyo, and then I took a bus from Nagoya to Takayama Hino.

It was a sunny day in Tokyo, but it was thundering in Nagoya. Riding on the bus, Mitsuha's body was tightly pressed against Kento's. The two of them swayed for a while and arrived at the bus stop in Takayama Hino.

"It's raining heavily outside."

Mitsuha was a little confused standing at the bus stop. On the way from Takayama Hino to Hida, she had to pass through a forest.

"Want to rest here for the night? It's only a two-hour journey anyway, so it won't be a problem to go back tomorrow."

"But it will take you quite a while to get back, right?"

It took almost three hours to get from Nagoya to Takayama Hino, and it took only one and a half hours from Tokyo to Nagoya.

There are many hot springs in Takayama-Hino, and they are also very famous.

But unfortunately, it was raining heavily outside, so the two of them just booked a room in the hotel and lay in the room, quietly looking at the gray and gloomy sky outside. The raindrops kept falling, crackling against the window.

"It's so cold."

"There should be an indoor bath here, right?"

"I do not know."

"Let me go ask."

"Wait, I'll come too!"

Seeing Xianren getting up and preparing to leave the room, Mitsuha, who seemed to be afraid that her brother would disappear, hurriedly followed her brother. The two of them asked the hotel staff, confirmed the location of the bathhouse, thanked them, and returned to the room together.

After picking up their clothes, the two went into the bathhouse together.

The bathhouse was not very big, but it was spacious enough. There were no guests at the moment. Xianren washed himself alone, soaked in the warm water for a while, and then returned to the room.

When I entered the room, Sanye had not returned yet.

After waiting for about half an hour and watching the program being played, Sanye slowly returned to the room. As soon as she came in, she threw herself on the bed.

"Ah—it feels good now, but the rain outside still hasn't stopped, and I don't know when it will clear up."

I looked down at the weather report on my phone. It has been raining for two days now, and it shows that it will rain for one more day and will stop tomorrow night.

Thanks to Star Beyond and Wan Xia Ye for their monthly tickets and blades! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

Everyone's Sage: 376. Don't you like it?

The rain showed no sign of stopping.

14:22

This was the time when Xianren and Sanye arrived at Takayama Hirono in the darkness and thunderstorm. After entering the bathhouse, they washed their bodies and sat in the room to rest for a while.

At ordinary times late at night, it is still pitch black outside, as if there is not much difference between day and night.

Sanye, who was originally lying on her own bed, had climbed onto Xianren's bed without her knowing when.

Her excuse was - 'It's too cold.'

It seemed that if you lay on the sage's bed, you wouldn't feel cold anymore. The sage stood in front of the window, watching the rain falling outside, the thunder rumbling from time to time, and the lightning exploding in the distance. It didn't seem like an environment that could allow people to rest peacefully.

The meal was delivered to the room by the hotel waiter, but less than two hours after dinner, the wise man felt a little hungry.

'The portion is too small.'

Be it stinginess or refinement, it couldn't change the fact that the portion of dinner was too small. Not long after, he could feel his stomach protesting.

Looking back at Mitsuha who was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep, he slowly walked to the edge of his bed, sat down, and looked at Mitsuha's sleeping face quietly. He thought of the phone call between him and his family, and told his mother Miyamizu Futsuha that the two of them were resting in Takayama Tonin.

His family didn't really care, they just asked him and Sanye to go home a little earlier tomorrow.

"But it's still raining heavily. I wonder if it will get lighter tomorrow."

After a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and lay down beside Sanye, squeezing into the same bed with his sister. He always felt that the bed was a little small.

The rustling sound in the middle of the night made Xianren, who had not slept well, gradually open his eyes. He turned his head and saw Sanye beside him. She seemed to have woken up, her body pressed against him, but she was twitching in the quilt. He didn't know what was wrong.

"Three leaves?"

"Um?!"

"What's wrong? Are you awake?"

"Uh... um."

Mitsuha's voice sounded a little flustered. Xianren opened his eyes, looked at his sister beside him, and slowly stood up, looking out the window where the heavy rain was still falling.

"what time is it?"

"I, I don't know, I just didn't fall asleep."

"so."

"I'm going to use the bathroom."

"Ah."

Mitsuha, carrying Xianren on her back, lay quietly on the bed. Xianren looked back at his sister, turned on the light in the room, and slowly walked towards the bathroom in the room.

Mitsuha was left lying alone on the bed, her face flushed. She leaned up slightly to glance at her brother, then silently lowered her head and lay down on the bed, her face suffocated by the quilt, and her eyes closed...

After coming out of the bathroom, he wiped his hands with a tissue, turned off the lights, lay back on the bed, and looked at the current time.
