I won't be a loser.

"Ah."

She was somewhat reluctant, but she also knew that she had no right to bargain. If the person in front of her told her mother who was far away in Itomori, what would happen next? Just imagining it, Mitsuha felt like her brain was going to evaporate.

I don't dare to think about the consequences and outcome of that...

After staring at his sister for a while, Xianren led her back to his residence. When they reached the door of his house, he pushed open the door and went into the house. As soon as Miyamizu Mitsuha arrived at the entrance, she saw three pairs of shoes at the door.

"...These are women's shoes, right? They look like they're different styles and sizes."

"These are the shoes of the employees we recruited in Chiba. They are working now. Please don't make any noise and disturb their work."

After instructing Sanye beside him, Xianren entered the living room first. Sanye, who was standing at the door, didn't understand why the recruited employees were in Xianren's home, nor did she understand why they seemed to be all women. She followed Xianren into the living room, and looking at the spacious living room environment and the exquisite decoration styles, she couldn't help but envy him.

"Ah... What a big house! This is a traditional single-family house, right? It must be very comfortable to live in such a big environment, unlike my small apartment."

"Your apartment is not small at all. It's located in Bunkyo Ward, one of the six central wards of Tokyo. Even within Tokyo, only a small number of people can afford such a large apartment."

"Well……"

Since it was Xianren who paid the rent for three years, Miyamizu Mitsuha did not have to worry about the rent during her first year of high school. In addition, she had enough time to think about the rent in her second year of high school. As long as she saved some money on her current living expenses, she would be able to afford her future rent.

"Are they all here?"

"Yeah, I'm working. I'm going to start preparing dinner. You can come and help. Once dinner is over, we can go back to Tokyo."

"Can't you stay?"

"Can you get up early tomorrow morning and arrive at school on time?"

"Hmm...it's a bit difficult."

In response to this, Sanye, with a wandering look, gave an answer that was completely impossible to confirm, while Xianren shook his head slightly, walked quietly to the refrigerator, took out the ingredients, and began to prepare dinner.

In the office, Himeno Ikera, who was closest to the door, heard a conversation coming from the living room. It sounded like the voice of his boss "Miyamizu-kun" and an unfamiliar female voice.

'girlfriend?'

She raised her head and glanced towards the door, feeling a little curious and concerned.

She stood up slowly and walked to the side of Fujiwara Momoka. She stopped, leaned over slightly, put her hands on the table, and looked sideways at Fujiwara Momoka.

"It seems she's back. There's a strange female voice outside. Maybe it's her girlfriend. Don't you want to go check it out?"

I had just written about the protagonist's classmate, a girl who had a crush on him. When she learned that the protagonist had a special hobby and was about to help him go to the famous suicide spot to look for the corpses he liked, Himeno Ikeru's question interrupted Fujiwara Momoka's thoughts and she turned her head to look at Himeno Ikeru.

"what?"

"It seems to be his girlfriend, don't you want to go and see?"

"...I've only just started working here, and I don't want to leave a bad impression on him. If you want to go, just go by yourself. Don't involve me."

Perhaps because her thoughts were interrupted, Fujiwara Momoka was very sober and rational at this moment.

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

Chiba New Story: 418. Showdown

"This is my sister Miyamizu Mitsuha, and these three are my current employees: Ms. Himeno Izara, who's in charge of the original drawings, Ms. Fujiwara Momoka, who's in charge of the scripts, and Ms. Kosaka Iori, who's in charge of the programming."

When dinner was ready, the three people in the office were called out, and the five of them sat together in the living room. The spacious living room seemed a little lively at this moment. Miyamizu Mitsuha looked at the three women with different styles and who all looked very cute, and then looked at her brother, her mood was a little complicated.

"Miyamizu-kun's sister?"

Ji Naiyi was even more surprised, but after looking carefully at the appearance of the two, she found that there were indeed some differences. She stared at Miyamizu Mitsuha for a while and nodded slightly. She was thinking too much.

"Miyamizu-kun's sister looks cute."

After glancing at Himeno Ikara, Fujiwara Momoka looked at Miyamizu Mitsuha, smiled gently, and began to praise her. She didn't know about other things, but it was definitely not a bad thing to praise the other person's sister like this.

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who received praise from Fujiwara Momoka, was also a little surprised. Looking at Fujiwara Momoka who was smiling at her and looked very beautiful, her impression of her became a little better.

Kousaka Iori, who is not very good at communication, remained silent.

As soon as she arrived in Chiba, she saw her brother living under the same roof with three lovely girls. Thinking of her brother's complicated emotional relationships, it was hard for Miyamizu Mitsuha not to think of some strange things. Her eyes wandered over the three of them, and after hearing Fujiwara Momoka's praise, she smiled slightly.

"No, I think Ms. Fujiwara is very beautiful and mature."

The wise man sitting on the side watched the two people flattering each other without saying anything. He sat down quietly and started eating with his chopsticks. After seeing the wise man eating, the other four people also started eating with their chopsticks and began to have dinner.

During the meal, the conversation between Miyamizu Mitsuha, Himeno Ikari, and Fujiwara Momoka was particularly lively. Kento and Kosaka Iori remained silent for most of the time, listening to the three of them chat with seemingly little interest. This was especially true when Fujiwara Momoka and Himeno Ikari mentioned that they had developed games before, and when Miyamizu Mitsuha, uninformed by the conversation, complimented them, their expressions were filled with pride, yet also with inexplicable embarrassment...

"Are you making games? I haven't even heard my brother talk about this. Aren't you going to do something about the family business in the future?"

At the beginning, she was communicating with Himeno Ikari and Fujiwara Momoka, but later, Miyamizu Mitsuha couldn't help but look at her brother and asked about the wise man.

"Ok?"

"As for you and..., aren't you going to inherit her family's business?"

Hesitant to speak, Mitsuha Miyamizu looked at her brother and started chatting about topics related to Tokyo. The other three didn't understand what they were saying, but they felt that there was a lot of story, so they all pricked up their ears silently.

"I'm still so young, and her father is also very young. What can I inherit? Besides, I'm not doing my own thing right now, so I don't have the time and energy to take care of those things. I'll think about it later."

Miyamizu Mitsuha had an indifferent expression and reaction, and thought that her brother would inherit the Feng family's business and live a wealthy life in the future. After hearing his answer, she couldn't help but be surprised. She stared at her brother and looked at him carefully for a long time. She didn't see the slightest smile on her brother's face, and she began to murmur in her heart.

"It's such a big family business?"

"That's not your last name, Miyamizu. Stop thinking about other people's business. Only when you build your own career can you truly hold it in your own hands. Don't always think about messy things."

Mitsuha Miyamizu lowered her eyes and gave her answer in silence. She wanted to ask something, but when she saw her brother's expression, which did not seem very happy, she did not continue the conversation and quietly ate her dinner, thinking and muttering in her heart.

From her point of view, the Feng family has only one daughter, and now that her daughter has married her brother, her brother is a member of the Feng family. Even if there are any problems in the Feng family in the future, her brother should be given priority. After rounding it off, isn't the Feng family's business the Gongshui family's business?

The Miyamizu family itself is not particularly outstanding, so I guess the Feng family doesn't think much of it.

The other three were confused. They probably understood some things, but they didn't quite understand them. For the three who knew some things about the wise man, it was difficult to imagine that he was already married.

There was no conversation at the table for a long time afterwards. Until the end of dinner, he took his sister into his bedroom.

"It doesn't look as big as Tokyo. Do those three people live here too?"

"Well, there are a lot of things to do. If we live separately, it will be inconvenient to work. It's better to live here together. When we have free time, we can handle work."

"..."

Imagining in her mind that she had to attend class whenever she had free time, Miyamizu Mitsuha looked at her brother with a bit of fear in her eyes.

"Rest here for a while, then prepare to go back to Tokyo. You still have to go to class tomorrow."

"Can't I ask for leave? I've been here for such a long time and haven't even asked for a day off!"

"Don't skip class."

He did not argue too much with his sister and gave his answer directly, which made Sanye puff up her cheeks and sit down on Xianren's bed sullenly. Xianren stood in front of his window, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little melancholy.

"What is your relationship with these three?"

Looking back at Sanye, Xianren's expression was a little surprised. He didn't expect that his sister would ask him this question.

"There are relationships?"

Faced with Xianren's somewhat surprised expression, Mitsuha couldn't help but ask back.

"No, they are just ordinary employees, and there is also a person in charge of finance. He is not here today and will come here after a while. When I finish my studies in Chiba and return to Tokyo, if the business is successful, these people will follow me back to Tokyo and open a bigger company. As for the Feng family's affairs, don't think too much about them. They have nothing to do with you or me. If Xiaochun and I are married, then the Feng family will belong to Miyamizu. I am not with Xiaochun for the Feng family's affairs."

The topic that Sanye talked about at the dinner table just now made Xianren feel a little unhappy. Now that they were alone together, Xianren didn't need to control his expression. His gloomy look surprised Sanye. She hadn't seen that gloomy look on her brother's face many times. Suddenly, a little fear arose in her heart, and she nodded.

"I understand. Rest for a while, and then I'll take you to the station. The train back to Tokyo shouldn't be running yet."

"..."

She wanted to say something else, but thinking of her brother's gloomy expression just now, Sanye held back the words in her heart and sat quietly in the bedroom. After a while, she stood up on her own initiative.

"I, I want to go back."

"Ah."

Looking back at his sister, Xianren also stood up with Mitsuye, and accompanied Mitsuye out of the bedroom. They went to the living room, saw the three people who were still resting, and told them that he was going to send Mitsuye to the station. The three looked at each other, but none of them had any intention of going out with them.

"understood."

"Then I'll trouble you three to take care of the house."

After he finished speaking, he led Sanye out of the residence. The two walked on the street outside, looking at the scenery on the streets of Chiba. Sanye looked at her brother from time to time.

"It feels quite different from Tokyo. You rarely see street scenes like this in downtown Tokyo."

"You live in the six central wards. If you lived in Meguro or Arakawa, you wouldn't say such a thing."

Xianren, who was walking with Mitsuha, did not agree with her sentiments at all. Mitsuha, who was refuted, could not help but pout, and her face looked a little dissatisfied.

"I've only been in Tokyo for a short time, so it's normal that I don't know much about Tokyo, right?"

"You don't know Qianye well enough. It's not a good idea to make rash judgments when you know nothing about him. In the future, if you want to comment on something, you should at least have a clear understanding of it."

"Ah, are you starting to lecture?"

Mitsuha, who didn't like these topics, covered her ears with her hands.

"If you don't like it, just cover your ears. If you can't do it, just cover your ears. No matter what happens, just cover your ears. Is that all?"

It was clearly time to say goodbye, and in Mitsuha's imagination, it should be a sad thing. However, Mitsuha, who was being lectured by her brother, had a sad face. The two of them came to the platform together and bought tickets back to Tokyo. Kento accompanied Mitsuha and waited at the platform.

Miyamizu Mitsuha, who had just stayed in Chiba for a while and was about to leave this place and return to Tokyo, her eyes fell on her brother.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"It's not like we won't meet again. You can call me when you get back to Tokyo. I have to go back to Tokyo on the weekends too. If there's anything you want to say, you can tell me sooner or later."

"It's really boring."

The train arrived and Mitsuha slowly entered the station. Xianren, who was standing outside, watched Mitsuha leave and watched her get on the train. Then he slowly turned around and walked for a while before stopping and looking at the corner of the street.

"You're not going back?"

Walking out from the shadow corner, Feng Xiaochun's eyes fell on Xianren. The girl was wearing a gray plaid jacket, a deerstalker hat, and holding a camera in both hands. She looked familiar.

"Nothing to do tomorrow."

"So, are you planning to stay tonight?"

"Ah."

The affirmative answer did not make the wise man feel embarrassed. He walked up to his wife and extended his hand.

Looking at the sage standing before her, Feng Xiaochun stretched out her hand. Her fair, delicate hand fell into the palm of the sage's hand. Then, hand in hand, they walked towards the sage's residence...

When they saw Xianren coming back and Feng Xiaochun following him, Fujiwara Momoka and Kousaka Iori in the living room looked a little surprised.

"Who is this?"

"Nice to meet you. I am the wife of the wise man."

Feng Xiaochun, who was standing next to the wise man, took the initiative to introduce himself.

The moment the words fell, Xianren felt two strange gazes falling on him. They were like the gazes of Fujiwara Momoka and Kousaka Iori, both of them looked as if they were looking at a criminal. Xianren, who was standing next to Koharu, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Um... Miyamizu-kun, didn't you just send your sister to the station? Why... um, a young girl claiming to be your wife? That's a crime..."

Fujiwara Momoka, considering Kento's generosity and high cooking skills, reminded her new boss, hoping that he would repent as soon as possible.

Kousaka Iori had similar thoughts and looked at Xianren, waiting for his answer.

Feng Xiaochun didn't have any intention of explaining to Kousaka Iori and Fujiwara Momoka, who seemed to have a misunderstanding. Her eyes fell on Xianren, wanting to see how her husband would deal with such a situation.

"Xiaochun is also a college student, and she and I are married. We are legally married."

After leaving these words, he lowered his head to look at Xiaochun beside him.

"Let's go to my room first."

"Ah."

The two people stood in the living room with their eyes wide open, watching the wise man and the young woman in their eyes disappear around the corner of the stairs. They stood quietly in the living room, looking at each other in silence for a while.

"Do you believe it?"

Looking at Kousaka Iori, Fujiwara Momoka was silent for a while and then asked.

"Well……"

Thinking that Kento went out once and brought back a wife, Kousaka Iori felt that this development was a little subtle. It was hard to say that it was impossible, but he still didn't quite believe it in his heart.

"Getting married at this age... isn't it a bit..."
