I won't be a loser.

"You look terrible. What did you do during your summer vacation?"

When school started, he entered the classroom and sat down. Not long after, someone came up to him and looked at him with concern.

With one hand supporting his cheek, he looked at Eriri who was standing in front of him, and thought of the dream in which he was with her. The relationship between the two of them was completely unlike that of other people. Rather than being a couple, they were more like fellow lovers. He raised his head and looked into each other's clear eyes, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing much. I just thought of something interesting. Besides, I did a lot of work during the summer vacation."

"what?"

Her brows were furrowed, but as a cartoonist who drew restricted comics after all, the blonde girl immediately understood what the wise man meant. She couldn't help but grit her teeth, took a deep breath, and returned to her seat with a muffled groan.

"Is it really okay to stimulate her like this every time?"

As soon as the blonde girl left, the girl named Hinami Aoi came to his side and asked him.

"Ok?"

"Well, it would be better to take care of the girl's mood a little."

The girl is no longer.

Glancing at Hinami Aoi who was unaware of the situation, Xianren just smiled at her.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a subtle gaze and looked in the direction of Ogiwara Sayu. The girl was also paying attention to what was happening here, but she didn't make any hints or movements. Xianren sat quietly in his seat, waiting for the class to start.

Half a year.

He only has half a year left to stay in Fengzhizaki, and after half a year he will leave here and go to Chiba.

"My daughter and Elliot are both in Tokyo, as are the others. Going to Chiba, it'll take three hours round trip..."

Xianren, who had already completed all the formalities, felt that there was no need to worry about it any longer. After all, it didn't take a whole day and night to go back and forth. He could return to Tokyo anytime, so it wasn't a big problem for him.

- - - -

Well, classic silencing technique.

I can't see everyone's posts. I feel sad after writing a book on my own for a month.

Thanks to Fengmingjie, Trees and Leaves for their monthly tickets and blades! Thanks to everyone for their recommendation votes!

Everyone's Sage: 379. I might have Alzheimer's disease

"Octopus sausage, it's just ordinary sausage cut up and fried, but for some reason everyone seems to like this simple dish."

Xianren picked up the octopus sausage from Futaba Rio's lunch box, looked at the lunch box she made by herself, and tasted it.

"So... why didn't you prepare it for me?"

"As long as you ask, there are girls everywhere who are willing to prepare lunch for you."

"envy?"

"It's annoying."

The wise man who was sitting next to Futaba Rio turned his head to look out the window. The green plants in the garden were all showing a layer of light yellow. After the lush green, they entered the stage of fading yellow.

Midsummer has passed, and now it is late autumn. It will not be long before it is severe winter.

"Time flies by so fast! It's already autumn before I knew it. Compared to the midsummer that I still remember, spring and autumn are completely unrememberable. It's only when winter comes that I have some memories, probably because of the New Year."

"You're so negative! Your attitude towards life always seems to be gloomy. Can't you be a little happier?"

"If I don't take everything to heart and treat my life with a frivolous attitude, I might try to adopt a more self-centered and selfish attitude towards life."

"So what are you now, no self at all?"

Futaba Rio glanced at Xianren beside her, picked up the broccoli and put it into her mouth, quietly waiting for Xianren's answer.

"That's true. It seems like I'm living a rather selfish life now."

"Did you ever imagine that your life would become like this?"

"If everything could be anticipated, life would be boring, wouldn't it? Isn't everyone's life filled with only the last second of events?"

He walked to the window, looked down at the windowsill, wiped it casually, looked at the dust on his fingertips, pinched it gently, turned around and walked to the sink, put some water in it and washed his right hand.

He wiped his hands with a towel, then slowly walked to Futaba Rio's side, sat down again, and looked at the girl who was eating, which made Futaba Rio couldn't help but glance at him.

smile.

"..."

Kento did not tell anyone about his intention to "jump" into Chiba University, and those who knew about it did not tell anyone in the class. Nakano Satsuki looked in Kento's direction from time to time, which attracted Nino's attention.

"Are you so interested in him? Don't you already know that he has a girlfriend?"

"Ok?"

"Still playing dumb. Don't go home crying and seek comfort later."

Nakano Satsuki did not take Nino's words to heart. She just looked at Kento for a while, then retracted her gaze and quietly lowered her head to read the textbook in front of her.

"Miyamizu-kun, are you free this afternoon?"

The voice of Nozaki Umetaro came from behind him. Turning back to look at Nozaki Umetaro who was looking at him, Xianto thought for a moment.

"Have."

"sorry to bother you."

"It's okay. After all, Umetaro has helped me a lot, but have you ever thought about inviting an assistant?"

"I'm still in school and have a lot of expenses, so I don't have the extra money to hire an assistant."

"I see."

After hearing Umetaro Nozaki's answer, Xianren was not very surprised. After all, it was just occasional help. For Xianren, it was just a way to experience life.

He felt very comfortable getting along with Umetaro, and Umetaro had indeed helped him a lot, so it was normal for him to help him now.

"Then let's go back together after school."

"Ah."

After making the agreement, he sent a text message to Shanshan, then sat down on the chair, gradually straightened his legs, put his hands into his belt, and his whole body gradually straightened, turning his head to look at the sky outside the window.

“Bird—”

I had nothing to do in the evening, so I followed Umetaro to his house. On the way, we passed by a convenience store, bought some drinks, and then went into his house.

"excuse me."

"Please come in."

The two entered the house, which was as clean as ever. Xianren sat down, his eyes fell on Nozaki Umetaro, he was silent for a moment, and sighed softly.

"It's such a shame that Umetaro isn't a bishoujo. If a bishoujo manga artist hid her identity, and I discovered her, and she invited me to be her assistant, it would be the perfect youth love comedy."

"No, it's kind of gross."

Umetaro, with an expressionless face, was in a strange mood at the moment. He glanced at Xianren with a strange look and quietly made dinner.

"Yeah, a little bit, but a youth romantic comedy should have some ambiguity, right? Like, 'I like him, but does he like me?' or 'I like her, but someone else has already confessed their feelings for me', that's the mainstream of romantic themes."

Umetaro Nozaki, who draws beautiful girl comics, doesn't know much about romantic comedies. His subject matter is more subtle, and the characters and plots in the story have nothing in common with normal love...

His works are more exaggerated.

"Is Umetaro planning to make comics his future career?"

"No, comics are comics. I have the intention of going to college."

"Pretty calm."

“I like it, but reality is reality.”

"Dreams are like the items you love in a luxury store. Most people can't afford them, but those who can afford them... well, it might be a little pricey, but achieving them is enough to satisfy you."

"The atmosphere seems to be getting a little heavy."

Xianren smiled slightly, looked quietly at the task assigned to him by Umetaro, and started working.

Starting at 5 pm, it was 11 pm when the two of them barely completed the task. No, they only completed most of it. Umetaro could complete the rest by himself, so he let Kento rest.

"Are you going back so late?"

"Well, I'm a bed lover. I can't sleep in other people's houses. Ah, but if it's a beautiful girl, I might sleep soundly."

"Good night."

"Ah, good night."

After saying goodbye to Umetaro, Xianren walked on the road at night and looked up at the starry sky above his head. It was a clear night and the stars were twinkling in the sky.

"We're going to be live streaming here tonight. Does anyone here recognize this place? If anyone recognizes this place and comes here within half an hour, I can provide a free 'Kill to Death'~"

A girl with wavy blonde hair, wearing a mask, a purple leather jacket, a white crop top, and denim shorts, is broadcasting live in front of the screen in a remote and deserted park.

Xianren, who happened to be passing by, heard the other party's words, fell silent for a moment, glanced at the environment of the park, and wanted to watch the live broadcast, but felt that it would be very troublesome. He paused for a moment and continued to move forward.

Well, there was nothing surprising in Tokyo at night, and this was not the first time he had encountered something like this.

On social platforms, you can often see some people posting information in advance during the day, broadcasting live at night, taking some photos, and sending them to social platforms to attract customers.

Well, attracting customers.

Tokyo is a prosperous city, and prosperity breeds desire. It is not difficult to live in this city, but if you want to live well, you have to pay a sufficient price.

Like the woman who was performing a live broadcast in the park, it was just her own choice.

I slowly returned to my apartment, entered the room, turned my head to look at the time, and found that it was already 0 o'clock in the morning.

After a quick wash, the sage lay down on his bed and closed his eyes to rest...

Ding--

"Lunch is ready."

With a slight sound, Xianren slowly sat up and looked at the phone beside him. He found that it was a text message from his 'wife'. He was silent for a moment and slowly narrowed his eyes.

I looked around and saw a somewhat old house. Then I looked out the window and saw a large residential area. I seemed to be in a room on the second floor.

"where?"

Picking up the phone and looking down at the grey home clothes on her body, Xianren slowly left the room and walked step by step to the living room. As soon as he saw her, the corresponding impression of 'gentle and virtuous' emerged in his mind, like a woman who made people feel comfortable like a spring breeze.

Looks a little familiar?

When he entered the living room, the other party seemed not to notice his presence until he came to her side. Perhaps he noticed his presence out of the corner of his eye, and then he showed a surprised expression and made some sign language with his hands.

silence.

He recognized the woman in front of him, but... he didn't know sign language.

He stretched out his hand, and under the other person's puzzled gaze, he lifted the long hair by her ear and found that she was wearing a hearing aid. The soft touch of the hair fluttering on his fingertips made Xianren a little addicted for a while.

Seeing that Xianren didn't say anything and made some strange movements, Nishimiya Naoko made some sign language, which made Xianren's mood a little complicated for a while. The two looked at each other for a moment, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on Nishimiya Naoko's face.

She took out her cell phone, opened the memo, and typed a line of words on it.

"A real man?" 』

"I'm fine, I just woke up and I'm a little dizzy, so... um, where's Yuzuru?"

"Room."

Not knowing why her husband suddenly stopped communicating with her using sign language, Nishimiya Naoko felt a little concerned and lost. She lowered her head and tapped the screen of her mobile phone with both hands, pursing her lips.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Worried eyes were fixed on Xianren. The uneasiness and fear of losing something in the eyes made Xianren's heart beat slightly faster, and he opened his mouth hesitantly.

"Good morning."

Suddenly, footsteps were heard and another figure entered the living room. At noon, he said "Good morning" and was about to sit down at the dining table to eat when he noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was a bit heavy. He looked at his sister and brother-in-law in surprise. When he looked down at the screen of Nishimiya Glass's mobile phone, Nishimiya Glass hurriedly put away the screen and covered it in front of herself.

"what's going on?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya glanced at his sister. She was no longer the tomboy she used to be. With her long hair, she had a pretty face and soft, beautiful black hair, which made her look elegant and beautiful.

Nishimiya Naoko was a little flustered and moved her hands slightly.

"No, it doesn't look like nothing's wrong. The moment I came in, I felt the atmosphere was off. Did you do something excessive to your sister? Did you cheat on her?"
