I won't be a loser.

"Is it not enough to die?"

In response to Fujiwara Momoka's question, he also gave a question, which opened Fujiwara Momoka's eyes. She lowered her head in silence and began to modify the content. Hime Noi looked at the part of the character design she had completed, was silent for a moment, and began to modify it.

Having never completed such a work before, which sounds so heavy, Hime Noi's heart is filled with complicated emotions, a bit disgusting, but more than ever, she hopes to succeed.

Later in the evening, the wise man who was responsible for the three meals went to prepare dinner.

"At noon, who of you prepares lunch?"

At the dinner table, the sudden question made the four people sitting in the living room silent. They looked at each other without saying a word and had dinner quietly.

The lack of an answer made Xianren roughly understand what was going on, so he didn't ask any more questions. After having dinner quietly, he left the cleanup to the three of them, and went out, preparing to take a short walk to help digestion.

When I went out, I saw a black-haired girl in a maroon sportswear, also walking out of her home.

"walk?"

"Go to a nearby convenience store."

Gokou Ruri's gaze fell on Xianren. She didn't expect such a coincidence. She was silent for a moment and gave an answer.

"Together?"

"no need."

Facing Xianren's invitation, the black-haired girl showed no interest at all and rejected him outright, heading towards the convenience store. Xianren, seeing her resistance and not knowing the specific situation, did not follow her and quietly walked away...

Life in Chiba is comfortable and pleasant, but I can't avoid going back to Tokyo on weekends to see my sister and my daughter.

Upon learning that Xianren had a wife in Tokyo, the employees in Chiba expressed their understanding and told him to go to Tokyo without worry, as they would take care of him in Chiba.

The four people who have always lived with the boy learned that he would not be at home on weekends and only the girls would be at home. For them, it would help them relax their bodies and minds. Not everyone likes to live under the same roof with their boss, who is also the opposite sex.

He returned to Tokyo for a while, which was equivalent to Xianren returning to Chiba from Tokyo.

"Back so early this week?"

On Saturday, I returned to Tokyo and met Futaba Rio. The girl returned home from school, and when she saw Kento, her face showed no emotion.

"Well, it's quieter here. We'll go to other places later."

The implication was that she would not stay overnight at her place. After hearing the wise man's answer, Futaba Rio showed neither happiness nor disappointment.

During the time he was away from Tokyo, she learned to keep more of her feelings deep in her heart.

"Are you going to see Mitsuha tonight?"

"Well, I'll meet her tonight, then go see the others. I'll probably go back to Chiba tomorrow night."

There was no unexpected answer. Futaba Rio had guessed it would be like this. She nodded slightly and accompanied Kento to go shopping for a while. When they returned home, they met again. Futaba Mari was off work, Machida Sonoko, and Yoshida Saki had finished her part-time job. They also returned home in the evening. After chatting for a while, Kento went to Mitsuha's apartment.

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

Chiba New Story: 422. Setting ambitious goals is important.

When she met Xianren, Sanye's mood was not too much fluctuating. She had basically adapted to this kind of life and to her brother who only appeared in front of her on Saturdays and Sundays.

"How's your week at school? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"What could possibly happen? I just live the same life every day. When I first came to Tokyo, I thought my life would become colorful, but I didn't expect it to be no different from being in Itomori. It's just that the place I'm in is different."

After a sigh, Sanye entered the house, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. Xianren came to her side and looked down at Sanye lying on the bed.

The girl was no longer the same girl as before. When he first looked at her, her gradually developed body made Xianren feel dazed for a moment. He felt that the person in front of him was not like the sister he knew.

"What are you looking at?"

With her hands blocking her body, Sanye noticed Xianren's gaze and couldn't help but pout, with an expression of dissatisfaction on her face. Xianren slowly shifted his gaze, walked to the window and opened it.

"I've been distracted. You should open the windows occasionally to let some air circulate. Won't you feel stuffy if you keep the doors and windows closed all the time?"

"Changing the subject. Well, I open the window once in a while."

Without pursuing the question further, Mitsuha gave her own answer and sat up from the bed, her black skirt swaying slightly. She slowly walked to the desk and sat in the seat where Xianren used to sit.

"Is there nothing interesting going on?"

"Interesting things are always happening in the world, but life will eventually become boring. It is precisely because life is mostly peaceful that we find it interesting because of the little things."

"What do you think is the most interesting thing in life?"

"Your sister?"

He poured a cup of tea, turned his head to look at Sanye, and his eyes fell on his sister. Sanye, who was teased, showed a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, and looked at Xianren sullenly.

"Let's go out later. I'm going to go home and rest for a while. You can come with me."

"..."

After a moment of hesitation, the expression on Sanye's face suddenly became gloomy. She turned her head to look at her desk, opened her laptop, and turned on the power button.

"No, I don't want to go over there. Just let me stay here. If you want to go back, go back. It doesn't matter if I'm alone."

"Why are you suddenly upset?"

"No."

The muffled voice didn't sound like anything was wrong. He moved closer to her, looking at her gloomy and depressed face and the dissatisfied expression. He stretched out his index finger and gently tapped on her tender and fair cheek, which caused Sanye to grin in dissatisfaction.

The snow-white and neat teeth made the sage want to knock on them to see if they would make some pleasant sounds.

"Like a puppy."

"Bop boom."

"Ok?"

"nothing."

Sanye lowered her head, opened the browser, and was about to enter some content when she just clicked on the search bar and a series of search records appeared.

"Close blood relationship"

Brother and sister love

"Is it wrong to like my brother?"

"Can I be with my family without getting married?"

How to get along with your brothers

Her eyes fell on the search records, and Mitsuha's expression changed slightly. She quickly clicked on the 'x' in the upper right corner and closed her browser. The wise man next to her was silent for a moment and looked away.

When Mitsuha looked at her brother, she only saw the profile of Xianren.

"you……"

"Well, it's okay if you don't want to go. Let's go out for dinner together later. I'll go see if Setsuna has returned home. Remember to tell me when you're ready."

"..."

Without staying in the room any longer, Xianren walked to the door, put on his shoes, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but remained silent and left the apartment. Mitsuha, who stayed in the room, sat dejectedly at the desk, and her nose suddenly felt a little sore.

Biting her lips, she clenched her fists tightly and lowered her head silently...

Arriving at the door of Qingpu's house, Xianren, who was standing at the door, reached out and gently pressed the doorbell. After waiting for a moment, the door in front of him opened.

The person who opened the door was Qingura Mai, who was a little different from the Qingura Setsuna that Xianren had expected. He thought that Qingura Setsuna should be back home by now, but he didn't expect that the person who opened the door would be her mother Qingura Mai.

"You're back in Tokyo?"

"It's the weekend, so I came back to see you. Isn't Setsuna home?"

"She's been with the world while you're away. She'll probably be back around evening. What's the urgent matter you're looking for her for?"

Staring at the wise man in front of her, Qing Pu Wu noticed that there seemed to be something a little wrong with the young man's expression. When she asked him what happened, he shook his head slightly.

"I just wanted to invite you out for dinner, but I didn't expect her to not come back. I'll come over when she comes back."

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Qingpu Wu opened the door and thought about what had just happened. He looked at Qingpu Wu in front of him and felt that it was indeed not appropriate to go back now.

"That...excuse me."

"I haven't seen you for a while, and you've become a lot less familiar."

Watching Xianren walk into the house, Qingpu Mai closed the door, poured a cup of tea, and brought it to Xianren who sat down.

There was a faint steam rising from the tea. He reached out and picked it up, sniffed it gently, and took a small sip.

"Are you staying in Tokyo tonight?"

"Well, how's things going with the restaurant?"

"It's already operating and there are no problems at the moment, but it's not yet profitable. It's probably going to be profitable by the end of the year."

When talking about serious matters, Qingpu Mai began to think seriously and gave a somewhat unexpected answer.

"At the end of the year?"

"Running a business is not an easy task. After accounting for all the expenses, it's already pretty good to be able to make a profit at the end of the year."

Xianren himself didn't know much about these things. After hearing Qingpu Mai's answer, he just nodded silently to express his understanding of her. While they were chatting about this and that, there was some movement at the door and Qingpu Setsuna entered the house.

"A wise man?"

Qingpu Setsuna entered the house and her eyes fell on Xianren with a look of surprise, while Xianren nodded at her.

"I'm back, Setsuna."

When he saw Xianren, Qingpu Shanna didn't have any emotions in his heart. He stared at Xianren quietly for a while, then nodded, walked into the house, and returned to his room.

The calm reaction surprised even Qing Pu Mai a little, and she looked at Xianren beside her.

"Ok?"

"I do not know either……"

You really don’t know?

Gazing at Kiyoura Setsuna's bedroom, he put down the teacup in his hand, slowly walked to the door of the girl's room, and gently knocked on her door...

Lying on the bed, Sanye wrapped herself tightly with the quilt, opened her eyes, and couldn't help closing them.

But when she closed her eyes, she would think of what happened before. Intense shame and regret gradually eroded her heart. She herself didn't understand why she didn't clean up these traces after the investigation.

click -

The sound of the door opening was heard. Sanye wrapped herself up again and lay on the bed without any reaction.

clatter--

The door was closed and footsteps were getting closer. Sanye lay in her bed without reacting at all until she felt the edge of her bed sink slightly. She wanted to lean over to take a look, but she didn't know how to face her brother.

Xianren returned to the apartment and sat quietly on the edge of the bed. He rubbed his forehead with his hand, then turned his head to glance at Sanye who was lying on the bed. He felt a little heavy and tired, and didn't know how to talk to Sanye.

There was silence in the room.

The depressing atmosphere made Sanye, who was staying in bed, unclear about what had happened. She was not even sure if the person sitting next to her was her brother.

So, after some inner turmoil and struggle, she slowly poked her head out from under the quilt and looked at the edge of her bed.

Xianren was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, with his hands clasped and his head down as if he was thinking about something. This made Sanye sit up involuntarily and move closer to her brother. Looking at her silent brother, she didn't know what had happened.

"Didn't you go to Setsuna's? Did something happen?"

"nothing."

"'Nothing' again. Every time something happens, you always answer 'Nothing'. It's meaningless. Aren't we a family? You always take things on yourself and completely ignore other people's feelings. Even if you can't help, explain the situation to me. It will make you feel more at ease, right?"

Sanye had been dissatisfied with Xianren's usual answer of "nothing" for a long time. Now that she heard Xianren's answer again, she couldn't help but complain.

Xianren, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly straightened his body and looked sideways at Sanye beside him. He lowered his eyes and didn't know how to talk to his sister.

"Well...it's nothing special. You already know the details. What happened between Setsuna and me is just a relationship matter. There's nothing else."

"Is there any difference between saying it and not saying it?"

"The country's laws do not allow bigamy, and I'm already married."

It was still the same as before, as if nothing had been said, but this time it felt like everything had been said, making Sanye stare at her brother for a while, then she sat silently aside, hugging her knees with her arms, staring at her brother.

"So, Setsuna hates you?"
