I won't be a loser.

While walking on the road, Xianren saw that Yuzuru Nishimiya was always observing other places and would stop at some animals. This made him a little curious and he didn't know what she was looking at.

"Are you looking for something?"

"Ok?"

"Although I was walking with you, you were always looking around the corners and even staring at some animals. Is there a reason?"

"Photograph."

Yuzuru Nishimiya was a little surprised that the details of his actions were noticed. He pursed his lips, gave an answer, and raised the camera in front of him.

"Photograph?"

"Take some scary photos and show them to my sister."

"A prank? That's a pretty unique hobby. I thought you wanted to take pictures as a hobby, but it seems like you have a pretty special reason for it."

Xianren was also interested in photography, but when he met Feng Xiaochun and saw the photos covering the walls, the passion for photography that had just begun to arise in his heart was extinguished in an instant.

After sliding his hands across the camera, Yuzuru Nishimiya handed the photos he had taken to Xianren standing beside him.

The halt made Xianren stop as well. He turned his head to look at the girl beside him, then looked down at what she had filmed. After a careful look, it was probably some dead branches and leaves, as well as some dead insects and birds.

"I haven't seen dead insects and birds in a long time. I used to see dead creatures on the road or in other places after a heavy rain, but I haven't seen them for a long time now. Ah, when I was a child, I would also see ants carrying insect corpses..."

Seeing that Xianren standing next to him was very calm, Nishimiya Yuzuru was a little surprised, thinking that the other party would be scared and felt that she was abnormal.

"Don't you feel disgusted?"

"Huh? What's so disgusting about that? I think it's normal. No one can avoid death. These insects and birds are just entering their due end. Even among humans, aren't there only a few who live to a good end?"

He stretched out his hands and gently hooked his index fingers.

Nishimiya Yuzuru was silent for a moment, feeling that the other party's ideas were a little different from his own, but there seemed to be some truth to them.

"If this is your consolation, I don't feel happy at all. I showed this to my sister so that she could feel the cruelty of death and fear death."

"No... Normally, seeing these things would only make you feel more depressed and unable to think straight, right?"

After looking at the photos taken by Yuzuru Nishimiya, Xianren was silent for a moment. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at Yuzuru Nishimiya hesitantly.

"what?!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru, who was not very old to begin with, became dissatisfied when his efforts were denied.

"Well, I don't deny that fear of death is a driving force for people to live, but in reality, most people only reluctantly hold on to themselves for the sake of their families, desperately doing things they don't want to do, and struggling to survive."

"family?"

After returning the camera to Yuzuru Nishimiya, Xianren looked at the convenience store not far away.

"I want to buy some drinks, and you want some... never mind, let's go in together?"

"..."

Nishimiya Yuzuru was silent for a moment and nodded.

The two entered a convenience store. Kento bought a bottle of mineral water, and so did Nishimiya Yuzuru, but the brands they bought were different.

"Let me do it. Just consider it a thank you gift for taking a walk with me. Well, it seems a little cheap."

"Shouldn't I be the one to thank you? I was the one who invited you for the walk."

Nishimiya Yuzuru took out some coins and paid for the mineral water for both of them. This made Xianren, who had already taken out his wallet, stunned for a moment. He was silent for a moment, smiled slightly, and took a box of candy from the side.

"Then I'll do this."

After walking out of the convenience store, Xianren handed the candy to Yuzuru Nishimiya.

"When the sugar in sweets enters the human body, a chemical reaction occurs, producing a large amount of dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that can make people feel happy and can make people feel happy and happy."

The girl listened blankly as the wise man told her something that she didn't quite understand. When she saw him stuffing candy into her mouth, she was a little confused for a moment.

"So, instead of looking at these death pictures and making your sister feel death, why not take more walks with her and let her try some sweet foods? Will that make her happier?"

"You can actually buy yokan and candies from bakeries and dessert shops individually, and the price is not that expensive. For example, a single chestnut yokan costs about 120 yen, and a single dinosaur egg bread costs 60 yen."

“It’s still very expensive.”

My mother was the only one in the family who was able to work. My sister's hearing meant she couldn't work at all. So my mother had to support the other three people in the family: me, my sister, and my grandmother. It was already a very difficult thing...

"Well, besides desserts, there are other things that can make people feel happy and joyful, and it's not just desserts. Anyway, for example, you should look at these death pictures less. If you look at them too much, you might lose your respect for death, right?"

Everyone's Sage: 383. Candy in Hand

There was no denying that what Xianren said did make some sense. Looking down at the camera in front of her, she was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"That sounds reasonable. I'll think about it."

"Think about it... You sound very adult. Are you in, elementary school, or middle school now?"

"Right away—no, what does this have to do with you?"

Suddenly, she looked at the man next to her warily, and Nishimiya Yuzuru's eyes gradually became strange. She kept a little distance from Kento. The girl's reaction seemed like fear, which made Kento feel very amused.

Looking at the distance between the two of them, he slowly took a step forward and closed the gap.

"Don't get so close. Our relationship isn't that close, is it?"

"But it was you who invited me for the walk, wasn't it you?"

"A walk is just a walk. It doesn't mean our relationship is close enough to get so close. Besides, I'm an elementary school student. If I just yell, you'll be arrested as a suspicious person, right?"

Facing Nishimiya Yuzuru who suddenly became extremely alert, Xianren couldn't help but chuckle and slowly distanced himself from him.

"So our relationship is this distance?"

"It's okay if it's a little closer."

Nishimiya Yuzuru, who clearly said that the distance was too close, took the initiative to move a little closer after Kento moved a little to the side. The two were about half a meter apart.

"So, roughly how far is the distance between your sister and me?"

After taking two steps, Yuzuru Nishimiya and Kento were about two meters apart.

"so far?"

"My sister looks like a very gentle person, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have any guard against others. On the contrary, she won't trust someone she doesn't know."

"No, at least we know each other, right?"

"But you don't know anything, right? You don't know me, and I don't know you either. We've only met by chance twice and were able to exchange a few words. Don't think you can do anything to me."

When talking about Nishimiya Shoko, the girl's feelings towards Kento suddenly became subtly hostile, which made Kento a little confused.

"No, I'm dating someone. I should have told you and your sister this, right?"

After a moment of silence, Nishimiya Yuzuru glanced at Xianren.

He closed the distance between him and Xianren again, and the two of them walked quietly on the road.

"Have you ever seen a seagull?"

"Hasn't the topic gotten a bit off track?"

"never seen it?"

“I have seen it, but I haven’t looked at the seagull carefully.”

……

There is a huge age gap between them, and Yuzuru Nishimiya always feels like he is being treated like a child. He feels a bit complicated. He returns to his home, opens the door and enters the house. He hears some noise inside the house and slowly walks to the living room.

"grandmother?"

"You're back, Yuzuru."

"Well, is my sister back?"

"She's back and is in her own room now. Is there anything you want to talk to her about?"

Looking at his kind grandmother, Nishimiya Yuzuru's eyes wandered for a moment. After thinking for a while, he felt that nothing seemed to be wrong and shook his head.

"No, I'll go back to my room first."

"Well, remember to be careful when going up and down the stairs, don't walk too fast."

"I know."

Wearing slippers and white socks, he walked up the stairs and came to the door of the room on the second floor step by step. The first room was his sister's room. Nishimiya Yuzuru quietly approached the door and listened to the movement in his sister's room. There was no sound at all.

It has always been so quiet, and precisely because it is so quiet, it always makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.

He knocked on the door and shouted inside.

"I'm coming in, sis."

With the help of hearing aids, his sister, although not very good at speaking, can at least hear other people's voices. After pushing open his sister's door, Nishimiya Yuzuru entered the room and saw his sister sitting at the table, writing something in a book.

Nishimiya Shoko, who was writing something, slowly came to her sister's side. She suddenly noticed from the corner of her eye that her younger sister had entered her room without her knowing when.

"what--"

He made a strange sound, covered the notes in front of him, and his nervous reaction made Nishimiya Yuzuru a little concerned.

"What are you doing?"

After hurriedly closing the notebook in front of him, Yuzuru Nishimiya asked his sister using sign language.

"What is that?"

"nothing."

Nishimiya Naoko was a little flustered, her face slightly red, and she also responded in sign language.

He glanced at his sister's notes and saw that she looked a little shy, which didn't seem like anything bad. After a moment of silence, Yuzuru Nishimiya didn't ask any further questions.

"Are you taking pictures again?"

Noticing the camera in front of her sister, Nishimiya Shoko's expression gradually calmed down and she pursed her lips. She didn't like those photos at all, but her sister kept taking them for her own good.

She bit her lip, and her mood no longer felt flustered or shy, but gradually became gloomy.

Thinking about what he talked about with that guy named Kento, Yuzuru Nishimiya felt that he might have gone a little too far.

"I just went out for a walk and ran into someone I knew."

"who? 』

"The boy I used to run into often on the shopping street."

Nishimiya Naoko was stunned for a moment, then she guessed who that person was. Looking at her sister in front of her, she couldn't help but pursed her lips.

After touching her pocket, Yuzuru Nishimiya grabbed her sister's hand, palm up, and placed her hand in her sister's palm. The warm palm made Yuzuru Nishimiya feel a little complicated, and she released her palm.

A slight tickling sensation, as if something plastic had fallen into her palm.

Nishimiya Glass watched her sister withdraw her hand, but in her palm there were some plastic-wrapped candies.

The shiny colorful wrapping paper and the candy inside the wrapping paper surprised Nishimiya Glass a little.

"This is?"

"He gave me candy. I heard that eating sweet candy makes people happy."

Blinking, looking at her sister in front of her, and seeing what she was gestured to, Nishimiya Glass was a little confused for a moment. She looked down at the candy in her hand, but she couldn't help but curl her fingers and hold it tightly in her hand.

There was an inexplicable touch in my heart...

Thanks to Zuixianweng, Baihe Xiaoniao, and Star Beyond for their monthly tickets and blades! Thanks to everyone for their recommendation votes!

Everyone's wise man: 384. Or let's just forget it.

The wise man actually hoped that he could go sailing tonight, using his courage and wisdom as his oars, and then rowing all the way, wondering if he could reach Gifu, Itomori, and see his grandmother overnight.

“If you could travel, where would you go?”
