I won't be a loser.

It was already early morning, and there was still a long time before morning. If the rain was a little lighter, he could consider taking the Takayama Main Line back to Hida around 8 o'clock.

However, the road from Hida back to Itomori...

The fluorescent light shone on Xianren's face. Sanye, who was standing beside him, turned slightly to look at her brother. Seeing him staring at the screen of his mobile phone in a daze, she stretched out her finger and gently poked Xianren's waist.

"Ok?"

I turned around and looked at my sister, wondering what was wrong with her.

"Aren't there five days of holiday in September?"

"It takes two days to go back and forth. I stay at home for one or two days and then have to go back to Tokyo. It's too troublesome."

"Then I can come to Tokyo to find you."

"Then don't I still have to take care of you during the holidays?"

Mitsuha bit her lip, grabbed Xianren's clothes with her hands, and stared at her brother. Xianren, who was staring at the screen of his mobile phone, looked down at Mitsuha's pleading eyes and couldn't help but be speechless. After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and placed it on her face.

"There's no point staring at me. Go to bed early. You'll have to go home tomorrow."

"I won't...I...I will definitely find you!"

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll always be here. You, on the other hand, should just stay home and study peacefully. When you enter high school, we can talk about other things later."

"Stop treating me like a child!"

"But aren't you just a child?"

The hand on Mitsuha's face was grabbed by Mitsuha and taken away. Facing her brother, Mitsuha closed her eyes, put her face to Xianren's waist, and buried it under his arm.

In a daze, the two felt sleepy again while talking. First, Mitsuha, and then Xianren also slowly fell asleep.

In the morning.

9:24

Xianren woke up, looked at the time, then looked at Sanye who was still sleeping beside him, and woke her up.

"It's already morning, time to wake up, Mitsuha."

"Um……"

Mitsuha woke up in a daze, looked at Xianren beside her, looked around the room, and nodded silently.

Kento got dressed, and Mitsuha went to the restroom. After both of them got dressed, they picked up their luggage and went to the Takayama Main Line station together.

The rain has been much lighter than yesterday.

It took about an hour for Kento and Mitsuha to arrive in Hida by taking the Takayama Main Line. Mitsuha, who had returned to her hometown, faced the deserted station with a somewhat indifferent expression. She quietly looked at the surrounding scenery and then at her brother beside her.

"Let's go. We'll take the bus back. We'll almost miss lunch by the time we get home."

“…This isn’t exactly a coincidence, is it?”

"Well, let's go."

The JR Takayama Main Line just arrived at Hida Station. I took the bus at the station and waited for a while before heading to Itomori.

Sitting on the bus, occasionally swaying like straw, it took about an hour to reach the final destination - Itomori.

Holding the umbrella bought by Gaoshan, the brother and sister walked on the road, all the way to their home. Xianren suspected that he might have to stay again tonight. Even if he took the bus or the railway, the best result would be to reach Gaoshan.

"Forget it, let's rest for one more night and return to Tokyo tomorrow."

His shoes stepped into a shallow puddle, and the splashing water fell on his trouser legs. He looked down and couldn't help but sigh.

"Wet weather is also troublesome."

"Because it's raining, are we leaving this afternoon?"

"I don't know. Let's see. If there's still time, let's go. If there's no time..."

With a sigh, looking at her brother who seemed a little unhappy, Sanye stared at her brother, feeling a little happy in her heart.

After walking for a long time, the two finally returned to the door of Miyamizu's house. They came to the eaves, pressed the doorbell, moved the door, and found that the door was not locked, so they entered the house.

Miyamizu Yotsuba was sitting in the living room. When she saw the two people coming back, Yotsuba, who was holding potato chips, was also stunned for a moment.

"elder brother?"

"Four leaves."

"Why did you only call me brother but ignored me?"

Walking in front of her sister, Sanye stretched out her hands, clenched them into fists, aimed them at her sister, and suddenly dropped them on her head, grinding like a drill bit, which made Siye shrink and dodge away.

He completely ignored Sanye and hurriedly left the living room.

After a while, Yotsuba accompanied Miyamizu Futaba back to the living room. Seeing her daughter and son return home, a relieved smile appeared on Miyamizu Futaba's face.

"Welcome back, Xianren, Mitsuha."

"Well, I'm back."

"I am back."

After replying "I'm back" along with Xianren, Sanye slowly walked to the sofa and sat down immediately. She was very tired after walking all the way from outside to the door.

"I'm so tired."

"Xianren, are you leaving later?"

"It's already 13: PM. Even if I go back, it will be dark by the time I get back to Tokyo. We're not in a hurry anyway, so I'll just rest at home tonight and leave tomorrow."

"so."

When Miyamizu Futaba heard the answer from the wise man, there was a hint of tenderness and happiness in her eyes.

"It's rare for you to come back, so it's good to rest at home. You two have been on the road and probably haven't had time for lunch yet. I'll prepare it for you."

"Ah."

Xianren was also very tired and didn't want to do anything himself, while Sanye was even more decadent. She lay on the sofa, as if she had completely lost her hands and feet, and looked up at the ceiling like a corpse.

Walking to Sanye's side, Xianren pinched her beautiful nose, which made her regain some vitality.

"What's wrong?!"

"No, it's nothing. I just saw that you seemed very comfortable lying there, so I came to see if you were still breathing."

"unclear meaning."

After glaring at Xianren, Mitsuha looked towards the TV...

After Miyamizu Futaba prepared dinner, the two sat down at the dining table together. After lunch, they were bored. Mitsuha was called by Miyamizu Futaba to tidy up the room, leaving Kento holding the still chubby Yotsuha, sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching a somewhat boring show.

It took a long time for Sanye to free herself from the hell of tidying up the room. She came to the living room and sat down next to Xianren.

The whole afternoon was basically a waste of time, but I have to admit, it feels really great to squander and waste time like this...

In the afternoon, Miyamizu Ichiyo came out of the house and saw Mitsuha and Kento who had returned. His gaze paused on Kento, and he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he sat down quietly and made himself a pot of tea.

It was dinner time, and Xianren helped Miyamizu Futaba prepare dinner.

At night, the wise man came out of the bathroom and returned to his room. Looking at his room, he felt a little emotional. After seeing the prosperity of the outside world and returning to the place where he had lived for more than ten years, he felt a little inexplicably at ease.

But it was only a short-lived peace of mind. No parent wanted their child to achieve nothing. Even Miyamizu Futaba could not accept him indulging in such a stable life.

He sighed and sat down on the edge of his bed. It was still drizzling outside. Listening to the sound of the drizzle was quite helpful in helping him sleep.

When I was about to lie down on my bed and close my eyes to rest——

Click.

There was a sound of the door opening, but Xianren subconsciously locked the door, preventing people outside from entering the house.

"..."

dong dong——

Unable to open the door, he chose to knock.

Thinking that Sanye was the only one there, Xianren got up from his bed helplessly, slowly walked to the door and opened it.

"what happened?"

"I'm leaving here soon. It's my last night here. It's okay if you sleep with me for a while, right?"

“…You’re not a child anymore.”

"Didn't you call me a child yesterday?!"

"..."

It seems that this happened. To be precise, it was early this morning.

Looking at Mitsuha in front of him, Xianren was silent for a moment, then let Mitsuha into his room and closed the door. Watching Mitsuha quickly climb onto his bed and get under the covers, Xianren sighed, turned off the lights, and also lay down on the bed...

It was a bumpy ride from Hida to Takayama, then from Takayama to Nagoya, and then I took the Shinkansen to Tokyo.

Looking at the photo of himself and Mitsuha on the screen, Xianren was silent for a moment, exited the album casually, sat quietly on the Shinkansen, clicked on the contact, looked at it silently for a while, and then quietly exited Line.

14:23

I returned to Tokyo around 16 p.m., and returned to my apartment around 17 p.m.

There was no rain outside. It was sunny when we left Hida in the morning, but the land in our hometown was a little muddy. When we arrived in Nagoya, it was clear all over. When we left Nagoya, we could feel the scorching heat outside.

Just the sunlight pouring down from the window onto my skin made me feel scorching hot...

Back in Tokyo, the sun was still shining brightly outside. Xianren returned to his apartment, took a short rest, and then called Feng Xiaochun.

"I'm back, and you?"

"Home."

"I'll come find you."

"Ah."

Sitting in his room, he walked to the refrigerator, found a drink and took a gulp. He then calmed down a little and slowly walked out of his apartment.

He closed the door, then took the subway to the port area, entered the door of his home, and pushed it open to go inside.

"Why are you wearing Mitsuha's clothes? Not... the same style?"

When he entered the house, he saw Feng Xiaochun wearing the clothes that Sanye usually wore, which made Xianren stunned for a moment. But after looking carefully, he found that the size of the clothes was wrong, just the same style, which made Xianren stunned for a moment.

Feng Xiaochun slowly walked in front of her husband, then wrapped her hands around Xianren's and placed them on her cheeks.

"Don't you like it?"

Our Sage: 377. Your heart is not sincere enough

Mitsuha returned to Itomori. The summer vacation was coming to an end and school was about to start. Kento sat quietly in his home at his desk, looking at what he had written. He was silent for a while and felt that there was still some room for improvement.

"It's the third edition, and I still feel it's not quite up to par. If I care too much about other people's feelings, I'll lose myself. I'm thinking about what others will like, but I end up writing something that even I find irritating. Life is really..."

I quietly looked at what I had written for a while, and after some inner struggle, I clicked the right button and chose to delete this content.

Failed work.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang. Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, let go of the mouse in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door. When he arrived at the door, he saw Shanshan standing in front of the door.

"Setsuna? Didn't you go to private school today?"

"Well, I'm taking a leave."

The girl stood at the door, looked at the sage in the house, and slowly walked into the room. The three-leaf man was no longer there, and only the sage was in the room. The girl entered the room, took a quick look, and came to the sage's desk.

"writing?"

"Ah."

After looking at his laptop and then at Setsuna who was standing in front of the desk, Xianren turned and walked towards the refrigerator, took out some barley tea from it, and looked back at Setsuna who was still standing in front of the desk.

"Cold tea, please?"
