I won't be a loser.

With her arms around Kento's arm, Takasu Yasuko held Kento's arm in a very intimate posture and pulled him to the Takasu family. On the way, they attracted a lot of people's attention, but Takasu Yasuko basically didn't care. For Kento, it was not a trouble, but he felt it was a bit too ostentatious.

When we entered the dimly lit room, there were a lot of magazines piled up in the messy living room, as well as some... personal clothes, basically women's clothes. I didn't see any clothes that looked like Takasu Ryuji's in the living room.

Takasu Yasuko busied herself in the house, brewed a cup of tea, and brought it to the wise man.

"Please~"

"Thank you."

"Don't be so polite, it's okay. Just treat it as your own home. I heard that you became a writer, Xianren, and I also read your books. Wait... I'll go find where I put the books."

Takasu Yasuko put down her tea and started talking about the wise man. She was just about to stand up and look for the wise man's works that she had bought, but when she stood up and turned around to look for them in her room, her foot stepped on a silky shirt and she fell forward involuntarily.

"Ah ah--!"

Xiancai, who was sitting, had just opened his mouth to say something, but before he could finish his words, he saw Takasu Yasuko's whole body leaning forward. By the time he reacted and wanted to take action, Takasu Yasuko had already fallen to the ground.

"Uh-huh-"

Looking at Takasu Yasuko lying on the ground and humming softly, Xianren quickly stood up, walked to her side, and reached out to help Takasu Yasuko up from the ground.

"Are you hurt, Miss Taizi?"

"Hmm...my knee hurts a little."

Being helped up bit by bit, Takasu Yasuko, who was sitting on the ground, looked down at the ground and found that there was a small crack in the floor, and her knee was scratched by the edge of the crack, breaking a layer of skin, and blood was faintly flowing out.

Looking down at the injured Takasu Yasuko, and then looking down at the cracks on the floor, he couldn't help but become nervous and asked if the other party had any iodine and cotton swabs for disinfection.

"Hmm...it should be in that drawer..."

The wound was not serious, but it still had to be treated in time. When asked by the wise man, Takasu Yasuko thought seriously for a moment and pointed to a drawer in the living room. The wise man hurried to the drawer, opened it, and saw some emergency treatment props inside.

After taking it out, he returned to Takasu Yasuko, asked her to bend her knees, and cleaned her wound, wiped it with iodine, and put on a Band-Aid.

Looking at the sage who was lowering his head to carefully treat her wound, Takasu Yasuko's eyes were a little erratic, but after a while, her gaze still stayed on the sage. She pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes were exceptionally gentle.

"I'm back, is anyone home?"

There was a sound of a door opening, a dull sound that sounded lifeless. After a while, Takasu Ryuji entered the living room and saw his mother sitting on the floor, with a man squatting in front of her. Was it the wise man he had just met some time ago?

The somewhat subtle scene made Takasu Ryuji fall into silence for a moment, and then he pointed at himself.

"Um...did I come back at a bad time?"

"No, you came back just in time. There was a small accident just now, and Miss Taizi was injured. So, Long'er will take care of the next matter."

They said Takasu Ryuji would handle it, but in fact there was nothing left to deal with. For example, Takasu Yasuko's wound had been treated, and she was basically fine. Takasu Ryuji saw Takasu Yasuko's somewhat regretful expression, and didn't know what had happened. He still came to Takasu Yasuko's side, saw the band-aid on her knee, and then looked at the broken floor, and probably understood what had happened.

"..."

He felt a little awkward, but things had already happened, and it was when he was not at home that the wise man helped take care of his mother. Takasu Ryuji felt a little grateful in his heart. He silently took care of Takasu Yasuko and sent her back to her room to rest.

When Takasu Yasuko was sent back to her room by Takasu Ryuji, only two boys were left in the living room.

"Feel sorry."

"No, I've already learned about it from Taizi. It was just an accident. Taizi herself didn't pay attention to her safety. It has nothing to do with Xianren. On the contrary, it was you, Xianren, who took care of the injured Taizi. I'm very grateful."

Takasu Ryuji, who understood the situation clearly, naturally would not think that these things were the fault of the wise man. After expressing his gratitude to the wise man, the two sat in the living room in silence.

For a moment, he couldn't think of what topic to talk about. Takasu Ryuji was also a little concerned. He didn't expect that Takasu Yasuko would directly invite the wise man to her home as a guest without any preparation before coming back.

"Well, now that Miss Taizi has gone to rest, you probably still have things to deal with, so I'll be leaving first?"

"Nothing much, but it's been a while since you've been here. You can stay here for a while. Oh, and stay for dinner tonight. I just bought some fresh meat on sale, so we can make Sukiyaki tonight."

"Will this be too disturbing?"

In response to Takasu Ryuji's invitation, Xianren declined at first. There were not many guests at Takasu Ryuji's house, and it was rare for Xianren to visit his home, so he quickly recovered his spirits and became enthusiastic.

"Of course not. Then you can stay for dinner tonight. I'll prepare the ingredients and tableware."

"Then I'll help."

After hearing what Takasu Ryuji said, Xianren did not sit in the living room and waste time. He helped Takasu Ryuji to prepare. It took about half an hour to prepare the ingredients. Xianren found an excuse to go out for a while. After about half an hour, he hurried back to the Takasu family, carrying a bunch of fresh vegetables and meat, as well as some drinks bought from the convenience store.

Takasu Ryuji felt that such expenses were a little inappropriate, but after being comforted by the wise man, he accepted it. The two prepared dinner together, and when it was time to eat, Takasu Yasuko also walked out of the room.

There is some discomfort in the knee, but it is not a big problem. Once it heals, there will be no problem.

"It's been a while since I felt this lively. I used to dine with Long Er and sometimes felt a little lonely. Now that Xianren has joined us, it would be great if Xianren could come and dine with us more often in the future."

Takasu Yasuko sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks, and looked at Xianren. Her eyes seemed expectant, but her expression was a little lonely.

"Don't be silly, Xianren also has his own things to do. Besides, his house isn't that close, so how can he come here every day?"

Adding the cost of ingredients, if there was one more person, the daily expenses on ingredients alone would be... He knew that the wise man would definitely not eat here for free, but he was not sure that he could prepare dishes every day that would satisfy the wise man.

When someone values him, Takasu Ryuji feels a little bit inferior in his heart, which makes him unable to show enthusiasm and initiative.

"It's been a long time since I've had the experience of dining with friends like this. If I have time and you two don't mind, I'll come back to visit me later. Of course, I'll bring the ingredients I prepared with me."

"You're welcome anytime~ Tae-ja also likes to dine with cute young guys~"

Thank you all for your monthly tickets and blades! Thank you all for your recommendation tickets!

Everyone's Wise Man: 394. Take responsibility, Nino

The books I bought were piled up on the desk, but after picking up a book and flipping through it for a while, I felt a little mentally exhausted. I put the book down, made myself a cup of tea, and after drinking it, I forgot about reading.

Sitting in his room, it is now the New Year holiday, from the 26th to January 1th. The holiday is not long, so Kento gave up his preparations to go home and called home. Miyamizu Futaba learned about Kento's preparations, but she didn't have any special thoughts. Her son already has a family in Tokyo, so it is normal for him to stay in Tokyo. His mentality has long since changed.

However, Mitsuha still felt a little bored in Itomori, so she planned to come to Tokyo alone during the New Year holiday to accompany Kento. She said that she was "afraid that Kento would be lonely", and seemed to have completely forgotten the fact that he was married.

Kento didn't have any special thoughts about his sister wanting to come to Tokyo to spend the New Year with him, and it didn't matter if he asked her to come. However, Mitsuha had just opened her mouth for a while when she was stopped by Futaba, who made the decision for her and left Mitsuha to spend the New Year in Itomori.

"I don't have any connections here. Even if the whole family comes, there's still room for them to stay—"

"You're already married, Xianren. You need to change your mindset. Now that you've become a husband, your priority is no longer Itomori. The person you need to accompany is your wife. Do you understand?"

With his mother's admonition like this, the wise man could only remain silent.

"Ah."

This is the only answer, but only the wise man himself knows how to celebrate the New Year.

It is certain that he will spend the New Year with Feng Xiaochun, but he cannot just be with her. People like Qingura Setsuna, Futaba Rio, Mito Yuka... and his own children, Fujiwa and mother and daughter, are also factors that need to be considered.

Accompanying everyone one by one is very tiring, but if everyone gathers together and has a big party...

"With her head in your arms and her hands in mine, she rests her head on his thighs and lies on his belly with a hole in it. Everyone has a bright tomorrow."

I sang softly, and the clear scene was almost visualised in my mind. Although such a development was a bit too heavy, it was not completely impossible.

He sat quietly for a while, then picked up the book on the table and started reading. He didn't want to think about such cruel things for the time being, so he decided to empty his mind and give himself a little rest. Who knows when, a solution may come to his mind?

I started looking through a currently popular light novel called "I Can't Have So Many Girlfriends". Just by looking at the title, you can basically guess the content of the book.

He didn't know why it became popular, but thinking that there might be some interesting plot content in it, he bought it directly. However, after reading about 20 pages, he found that the plot was completely... well, it can only be described with a rather obscene word.

The male protagonist is an ordinary person. He is dating a quiet and cute girl in his class, but he has not noticed her. Then, after a week of dating, he is suddenly confessed to by the popular student council president. The male protagonist is at a loss, but he agrees to it out of vanity...

"..."

It's basically the same content, but when I think about my own life experience, it seems to be somewhat similar to this... ahem, the development of this work, but the person I confessed to was not the student council president, and it was not a pleasant experience.

The wise man sitting in his room finished reading the first volume and did not read the remaining volumes.

"Writing an autobiography would be more interesting than this."

Recalling his own life and looking at the work in front of him, the wise man felt bored and couldn't help but curl his lips with a look of disgust.

"Just the complicated interpersonal relationships, being pushed around by the older neighbor sister since childhood, plus the romantic life after high school, winning the lottery, and encountering dangers like car accidents, and surviving them, isn't it more exciting than the story of this crappy light novel?"

But it is not something to be complacent about. After thinking for a while, he sat at his desk and thought about his next book.

Although writing some heavy content does satisfy myself, in terms of sales, it is no match for those popular light novels. I can't say that I don't care about this situation at all. In addition, after writing a new type of work, I also want to make my own changes.

I don’t want to be limited by a genre and want to prove my talent.

It was probably this kind of thought that made the wise man sit at his desk and think seriously for a while, then he opened the computer and document and started typing.

"Come to think of it, Mitsuha and Yotsuha don't have computers in Itomori, which is a bit inconvenient. Should we give them a computer..."

Mitsuha will come to Tokyo next year, and Itomori's computer will be given to Yotsuha to use. However, Yotsuha is still too young, and it is not a good idea to let her get in touch with the Internet so early.

Because I have been exposed to the Internet for a long time, I clearly understand the impact of the Internet on a person. Siye is still too young now. It may not be too late to consider this matter when she is in high school or college.

"Well, especially Mitsuha. With Mitsuha's personality, if she were exposed to the Internet at such a young age, I think it would easily develop into a very bad personality. It's better to wait until she is in college before considering this matter."

Compared to Sanye, Xianren still trusts Shiye a little more.

"I'm not planning on going back to Itomo for the New Year this year, but I still need to prepare some gifts. I'll buy them today and send them back. They should be available around New Year's."

The wise man sitting in the house thought for a while, then stood up, walked to his small wardrobe, opened the wardrobe, took out his winter clothes, put them on, put on a mask, and left his room.

The temperature in winter is so low that just breathing makes people feel uncomfortable. However, wearing a mask can effectively prevent cold air from being inhaled into the nose, making walking outside more comfortable.

As for a scarf, it is also a good choice, but he does not like the feeling of having it wrapped around his neck. It is loose and not warm, and if it is too tight, the neck will not be comfortable.

As he opened the door and walked out of the room, the temperature suddenly dropped significantly. Xianren closed the door and slowly walked down the street. With the holiday season approaching, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased. He looked at the people passing by, his eyes lowered, and he quietly walked towards the subway...

"Hello, the total is 17,800 yen."

He took out his wallet and was about to pay when he looked down at the balance in his wallet and was stunned.

"gentlemen?"

“Can I pay by card?”

"can."

After paying and leaving the store, Xianren, who was standing by the roadside, reached out and gently rubbed his forehead. He had forgotten about his change. He had spent most of it yesterday and had forgotten to withdraw money.

I just withdrew some reserve funds from the ATM in the convenience store, so I don't have to worry about running out of money in the short term.

First, he bought some daily necessities that he would need during the Chinese New Year, and then he went to some stores to buy some gifts. As for the gifts, Xianren thought carefully for a while and decided to use some shopping cards and things like scarves and gloves as gifts.

For example, I have given some necklaces and rings as gifts before, so there is no point in giving them again. It also feels a bit cliché. Shopping cards from shopping malls are more practical.

As a gift for Feng Xiaochun, Xianren felt that preparing dinner for her personally and staying by her side to spend the New Year with her should be more in line with her expectations.

A wise man was walking on the road, thinking about various issues, such as how to give a gift. At this time, a person who passed by him stopped and looked back at the wise man who was walking forward.

"Miyamizu?"

"No, if I leave it at the door, someone might take it away. Well, I can go directly to Mito Yuka's place - huh?"

As if he heard someone calling his name, Xianren slowly turned around and looked behind him. He saw a girl wearing a snow-white down jacket, a brown woolen hat with a small pompom on it, and a plaid long skirt. Her outfit was a bit peculiar, and he did not recognize her identity for a moment.

"Nakano-san?"

Nino Nakano's eyes fell on Kento, staring at him who was surrounded by women but was currently alone. She looked a little surprised.

"one person?"

"Ok?"

After looking around and then at Nino Nakano in front of him, Xianren nodded slightly.

"I am alone, but you are also alone?"

"Why, you don't want to ask me out?"

"I hadn't thought of it that way originally, but after you brought it up, I'm a little interested. How about we go sit in the coffee shop over there for a while?"

Pointing to a nearby coffee shop, Nakano Nino was originally not going to agree, but looking at the Kento who was alone in front of her, she didn't know why, but she felt an urge to agree. Thinking of Nakano Ichika who had been forcing a smile at home recently, and the absent-minded Nakano Satsuki, she couldn't help but feel angry. After a moment of silence, she nodded.

"can."

"You actually agreed?"

"Are you that surprised?"

"A little bit. I originally thought you would decisively refuse. Judging from our past interactions, even if you hate me, it's normal, right?"

Nino Nakano frowned. She really didn't like the person in front of her, but she definitely didn't hate him either.

"If you don't want to, I'll leave."

"Let's go have a drink together. I just bought something and I don't know where to go."

Looking at the shopping bag in Kento's hand, Nino Nakano was a little curious. She didn't know what he bought or whether it was a gift for someone else, so she went to the coffee shop with him.
