I won't be a loser.

He took advantage of the short vacation time to buy a relatively cheap single-family house in Chiba and lived alone in this city that he was not very familiar with. After about half a month, he had almost adapted to life in this place.

During this half month, he also returned to Tokyo about three times, such as on weekends, or when he remembered that he had left something behind, he would return to Tokyo and stay for a while.

Usually on weekends, I would stay at home longer, maybe for a whole day. At other times, I would stay for a short while and then leave Tokyo early in the night or early morning to return to Chiba...

For example, Mitsuha has now come to Tokyo to live and lives in the apartment where Kento originally lived. That place is closer to Toyosaki, and there are Kiyoura Setsuna and Ogiwara Sayu around.

If you have any problems in life, you can ask Kiyoura Setsuna, and if you have any problems at school, well... Ogiwara Sayu may not be able to give much help, but Kento also has some other friends in Toyosaki, so there is no need to worry too much.

In addition, Kento would often contact Mitsuha by phone to ensure that his sister would not encounter any major problems in her life in Tokyo.

Sitting quietly in the classroom, listening to the lecturer's content, and occasionally writing down some content in his notes. In the entire classroom, Xianren seemed to be a more diligent person.

After the class ended, Xianren politely declined some people's invitations and left the classroom, walking alone on the campus. Facing this place where there were few acquaintances, he sighed softly and sat down in a relatively quiet place.

"Ah~ Isn't this my cute junior? Sitting here alone, looking so lonely. Is he being ostracized by his classmates?"

A light laugh was heard, accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching. Xianren glanced in the direction of the voice and saw Yukinoshita Haruno approaching. The expression on his face did not change at all, as he watched quietly as the congressman's daughter came near him and sat on the bench where he was sitting.

"What can I do for you, Yukinoshita-senpai?"

"Don't be so unfamiliar, just call me Yang No~"

"Our relationship isn't that close yet. We've only met a few times. Isn't it a bit early to address each other by name?"

"Huh? When I met Ah Xian, I felt that we would become good friends. Seeing you sitting here alone looking at the tree, I came here to comfort you~"

Kento had some impression of Yukinoshita Haruno, and he also learned some things from other people. She was indeed quite popular in the entire Chiba University, but she also had a reputation that was almost like a 'witch'.

There is a "devilish nature" in her, and basically nothing good will happen to those who are targeted by her. Therefore, few people in Chiba University will take the initiative to approach this woman. For example, Xianren considers that he already has a wife and a group of close friends, so he does not want to have any intimate relationships with more women.

He turned his head to look at Yukinoshita Haruno who was sitting next to him and looking at him with a smile. There was obviously no good intention in her eyes, so he ignored her.

The two of them sat on the bench together for a long time without any extra communication. When they felt it was almost time, they looked down at the time on their watches, stood up, said goodbye to Yukinoshita Haruno, and left the campus.

"..."

Watching Kento's departing back, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She felt that the other party was a little boring, but when she thought of the things that the other party had done, she couldn't help but frown.

"Miyamizu-kun, you will surely provide me with some entertainment during the rest of my time at university, right?"

After saying goodbye to Yukinoshita Haruno and leaving the school, Kento suddenly felt a sense of discomfort while walking on the road, but it quickly disappeared. As he walked forward, he couldn't help but think about something in his heart.

"Should I buy a bicycle so it would be more convenient?"

He walked forward thinking like this, and after walking for a while, he returned to his home in Chiba. He took out his key and was about to enter the house when he saw a black-haired girl in a sailor suit standing at the door of a house next to his. She seemed to be about to open her mouth to enter her own home. A sudden sense of connection made the two of them look in each other's direction, and their eyes met briefly.

"M-Mr. Miyamizu, did you just get home too?"

When the girl saw the wise man standing at the door, she was surprised and stuttered a little, but she quickly calmed down and asked calmly.

"Well, you're done with school too?"

"Yes, I'm going to pick up my sisters later."

"Thank you for your hard work, Gogen. Do you need me to go with you to pick it up?"

Looking at the girl in black straight sailor suit standing in front of the door, Xianren, who was standing in front of the door, asked casually, and Gokou Ruri felt a little nervous in her heart. She hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"No, I can do it myself."

She had a strong personality and would not easily accept other people's kindness. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and rejected the wise man.

"Be careful on the road."

He smiled at the other party. He did not insist on rejecting Gokou Ruri. He smiled at the girl and walked into the house. Looking at his back, Gokou Ruri couldn't help biting her lip. She wanted to talk to the other party more, but...

"Aha……"

With a sigh, Gogen Ruri slowly walked into the house, changed her clothes, and went to pick up her two younger sisters.

Even Xianren himself did not expect that the single-family house he bought would be near Gokou's house. When he moved to Chiba and entered the single-family house and saw Gokou Ruri, Xianren couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he began to pay more attention to his neighbor.

On the first day after moving in, he learned that the other party was the Wugeng family, so he personally bought a lot of fresh ingredients, cooked a pot of potatoes and beef, and brought it to the door of the other party's house, stating that he was a new resident who lived next door and wanted to get to know the Wugeng family.

Her parents were working overtime and not at home. As the eldest daughter in the family, Gokou Ruri took on the responsibility of her parents. Faced with the neighbor who came to her house in person, it was difficult for her to refuse. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and accepted the kindness released by the wise man.

And in the evening of the next day, the casserole was delivered to his home. After a brief chat, we got to know each other.

Afterwards, when he was not at school, Kento basically stayed at home. He often met Ruri Gokou, who also stayed at home. They talked about some things about animation and gradually became familiar with each other.

In the past two weeks, Xianren has added Gokou Ruri's online circle. Before going to bed late at night, the two of them would discuss some animations and game content. They can be considered as newly-acquainted friends...

Xianren entered his room, sat at the desk in his study, and turned on his computer. In recent times, he has been trying to learn programming, but found that he did not seem to have any talent in this area. After only reading for half a month, he felt dizzy.

"It seems that I am not a one-in-a-million genius in this area. I'd better hire someone else."

Now he lives alone in this place, with a lot of remaining rooms. He feels that he can invite some professionals into his residence and let them conduct product research and development in his home.

"Right now, I'm not aiming to create anything popular. I just want to test the waters. I don't need too many people, 3 or 4 people should be enough to develop a small game, right?"

There are games developed by a single person, but such all-rounders are extremely rare. In addition to personal energy issues, most of those single-person works have some problems with details or are lacking in certain aspects. It would be better to invite more people to divide the work and cooperate.

Staring at the computer screen in front of him, he thought for a while, then logged into the recruitment website and sent out his recruitment requirements...

When the busyness is like playing a game, the wise man who takes a break will open his own document, sit in front of his computer, write a little content, and dispel his inner loneliness, which is a bit of entertainment for himself.

In his life in Chiba, Xianren really couldn't think of any other entertainment. He spent most of his time staying at home, looking at the contents of his documents. He stared at the contents and sighed.

“It’s really not easy to create something by imitating other people’s styles.”

Not only has my writing speed slowed down a lot, but I feel uncomfortable just writing some of the content.

Staring at the document in front of him, he was silent for a while. Then Xianren clicked on the document, right-clicked it, and chose to delete the document. Then he sat in his chair and fell into long thought.

"Classic stories about demon kings and heroes don't have much of a market anymore, but stories about other worlds are still very popular, so I could write about them... I don't want a protagonist who's too cheerful, and I want her to have potential for growth... So starting in a village or a small town would be better. There are already many starting professions like warriors and magicians, and there are some monks and priests... Let's start with a doctor, a respected doctor in a small town..."

The wise man muttered to himself and began to record the content again, thinking about what he would write in his next book.

After picking up his two younger sisters, the three of them returned home. Standing at the door, Hinata Gogen looked in the direction of the neighboring Miyamizu residence, and then looked at his sister.

"Is Brother Miyamizu at home?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this at home?"

Hinata Gokura stared at her sister, but laughed secretly.

"what?"

She frowned slightly, feeling puzzled by her sister's snickering smile. She opened the door and let the two of them into the house, while she began to prepare dinner first.

For example, Gokou Ruri's parents usually come home at night, so things like taking care of her younger sister are basically all done by Gokou Ruri. Even though she is only 15 and in the third grade of junior high school, her level of housework is unmatched.

Looking at her busy sister, Gokura Hinata found it difficult to help her sister due to her height and age. She was only 10 years old. If she wanted to help her sister get something, it would be no problem. But if she was asked to go to the kitchen counter, she would barely be tall enough to reach the height of the counter...

Young Hinata Tamaki took out her picture book when she returned home and started painting on it.

"Giant panda~Giant panda~Yeah~Giant bear~Kitten~Giant panda~"

Looking at her busy sister and then at her younger sister, there was nothing Hinata Gogen could do to help, so she accompanied her younger sister, sat at the table in the living room, took out her homework, and started writing.

Ding-dong-

Sitting in front of the computer, looking at the settings he had roughly completed, Xianren rubbed his dry eyes. When he was about to get up and take a rest, the doorbell rang.

"Ok?"

Ding-dong-

He got up and left his study, went to the living room downstairs, opened his door, and saw Gokogen Ruri standing at the door, holding a lunch box and standing quietly in front of his door.

Under the dim sunset glow, the evening breeze lifted a few strands of the quiet girl's hair, which floated slowly on her snow-white cheeks, like a scroll engraved on the wise man's heart. He stared at the girl in front of him for a moment, blinked, and came back to his senses.

"Well, what's going on?"

Gokou Ruri, who was being stared at by the wise man, also blushed slightly. She didn't know what was wrong with the wise man just now. He kept staring at her. She bit her lips lightly and handed over the food box in her hand.

"Here, the extra curry."

“Ah… I see.”

Xianren nodded slightly with an expression of understanding, while Gokou Ruri looked at the person in front of her, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but saw Xianren reach out, take the coffee from her hand, and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Gogen."

"No... nothing, I'll go back first then."

For some reason, when standing in front of the other person, Gogen Ruri felt her heart beating faster. She hurriedly turned around and left the door, returning to Gogen's home.

He didn't stop at all along the way. After entering the house, he quickly closed the door.

The wise man standing at the door watched the other party enter the house. He was silent for a moment, lowered his head to look at the warm food box in his hands, slowly returned to his room, put it on his table, and began to prepare his own dinner...

"Sister Liuli, what happened?"

Ruri Gokou hurried back home, leaning against the door with a flushed face, wondering why the other party was looking at her with such strange eyes just now. At this time, Hinata Gokou heard the noise of her sister coming home, and when she arrived at the door, she saw her sister's strange expression and reaction.

"Sister Liuli?"

"Hmm? Ah... nothing, I... I'll go to my room and rest for a while."

"And dinner?"

"Wait a minute, I'll be out soon!"

Gokou Ruri hurriedly passed by Gokou Hinata in front of her and returned to her room. She lay down on her bed and rolled around.

“Ugh—Ahhhhhhh!!!”

Suppressing her voice, rolling around on the bed, Gokou Ruri felt her entire mind was in a mess. She didn't know what had happened just now, why the other person was looking at her with such a strange look... They were clearly just neighbors... but...

"what!!!"

Hinata Gogen, who was squatting at the door, looked at his sister's reaction, a smirk on his face, and slowly left the door.

She could see her sister's situation, but she couldn't speak up about it. She just waited to see when her sister would react...

The bored Gogen Ruri just vented her emotions a little. After ten minutes, she was exhausted after growling softly. Her mind gradually became blank. She let go of the little confusion and entanglement in her heart, stood up, and returned to the living room from her room.

Looking at his two younger sisters who were already eating, he did not say a word. He just sat quietly at the table and started having dinner.

After making the braised pork with ginger and the rice, he sat down, opened the curry that Gogen Ruri had brought, tasted it, and poured it on the rice. When he was about to eat, his cell phone suddenly rang.

I looked down and saw that it was a call from my sister.

"What's wrong, Mitsuha?"

"I am bored."

"Ok?"

"Every day when I return to the apartment, there's nothing to do. I can still go see Setsuna now, but next year she'll be going to university, right? Then won't I be all alone in Tokyo, in Toyonosaki?"

"Everyone has to grow up, and it's time for you to make some friends."

"Well... hearing my last name and my accent... not everyone likes it. Well... I'll try to make some friends."

"You don't need to force yourself. I'm in Chiba and can come back to Tokyo to be with you anytime."

"……nausea."

Although it was disgusting, Mitsuha, who was sitting in the apartment, had a smile on her face. She lowered her head and looked at the homework on her desk, and couldn't help but feel a headache. She didn't expect that the difficulty of high school and her junior high school would be so different, and the style was also completely different from Itomori.

I don’t know how my brother adapted to this kind of life.

Chiba New Story: 409. A New Life, Lurking Shadows

He was somewhat worried about Mitsuha's life in Tokyo, but Mitsuha herself was no longer a child. Sitting in his room, Xianren suppressed the thoughts surging in his heart.

Early in the morning, Xianren woke up, got up from the bed in the bedroom, slowly walked to his window, looked at the misty street, and vaguely saw three girls next door who were just about to go out. As the eldest sister, Gokou Ruri seemed to be sending her two younger sisters to their respective schools before she went to school, and then she would go to her own school.

Without saying hello to the other party, he stood quietly in front of the window, watching the girl and her two sisters disappear in the light mist. Then he slowly turned around, walked out of his room, went to the bathroom, washed up, and prepared his breakfast.

The wise man, who had just woken up, had no appetite. After looking at the ingredients in his refrigerator and thinking for a while, he took out bread slices, vegetables, eggs, and ham.

He fried an egg, cut some ham, and placed it on a slice of bread. After spreading condensed milk on it, he picked it up, cut it a little, and made a cup of tea. That was his breakfast this morning.

“The taste… is okay.”
