I won't be a loser.

"There are too many people. By the time we get in, everything will be sold out, right?"

Kousaka Kirino really wanted to feel the tense atmosphere of queuing, but looking at the long line in front of her, when it was her turn to enter, she thought that the works she was interested in must have all been sold out, right?

Kousaka Kirino sighed, her eyes fell on Gokou Ruri, her eyes seemed a little hesitant, while Gokou Ruri took out her mobile phone, contacted Xianren inside the venue, and asked about the current situation in the venue.

hum-

Xianren, who received the text message, looked down at the message from Gokou Ruri, then turned his head to look at the other people who were working. He said hello to Yuanye Ningning, then went out of the venue, contacted Gokou Ruri through text messages, and then met the three people waiting outside the venue.

"Hey, good morning. Are these two your friends?"

After arriving outside the venue, it took a long time to find the position of the three people. When seeing Xianren appearing in front of her, Kousaka Kirino was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that there would be such a handsome boy in the so-called club. In her cognition, people who were obsessed with the "otaku" circle, no, boys, were basically some very ordinary people. The sudden appearance of Xianren caused a great impact on her stereotype.

"Kisaka Kirino and Kousaka Kyousuke, they are brother and sister."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kousaka Kirino, and this is my useless older brother. Thank you for your guidance today."

"No, useless..."

Kyosuke Kousaka felt a little embarrassed when his sister introduced him. He didn't know how to react, but then he saw the man who came to greet him with a faint and gentle smile on his face.

"They're a very close brother and sister. Are you the only three here today?"

"There is another one, but he hasn't arrived yet. Now there are only three of us."

"Do you know approximately when we'll arrive?"

“It hasn’t been finalized yet.”

She looked down at the content on the contact app and found that Makishima Saori had not replied for a long time. Gokou Ruri couldn't help but shook her head.

Kousaka Kirino also lowered her head to confirm and found that the organizer of this comic convention party had no news at this time, which made her a little concerned for a moment.

"It's getting late. If you continue to wait, those doujinshi will soon be finished. You should go in first. Once you are inside, take a look at the situation and contact your friends. I will come out to greet her later."

"Yes."

Kousaka Kirino had been impatient for a long time, so after Kento distributed the exhibition's work permits, he led the three people into the exhibition. He first led them to his booth and introduced the identities of the Kousaka siblings to Yuanye Ningning and others. He then gave the three people a general explanation of the situation and asked them to be a little careful.

If you leave the booth and attract some people's attention, it will also have a bad impact. It is best to return to the booth as soon as you have bought the works you like.

Kyosuke Kousaka didn't have much interest in the content, but he couldn't resist the other two people who were selling their favorite fan works, so they split into three groups and headed to different stalls. After buying their own items, they would return to this place to gather.

At a large exhibition like this, everyone should stay in front of their own stalls, but it is normal to go somewhere else to buy some items. As long as it is not excessive, no one will be too demanding. About half an hour after the three of them entered the venue, they all returned to the stalls and bought something. Kousaka Kirino bought the most, and the other two bought a little each.

Looking at Kyosuke Kousaka's somewhat vague expression, Xianren guessed his secret at once, casually took out an opaque paper bag and handed it to Kyosuke Kousaka in front of him.

"Ah... uh, thank you."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Kyosuke Kousaka thanked Kento, accepted the paper bag, and put down the fan work he had bought.

As he is still a minor, theoretically he can only look at photo albums. Buying these restricted comic works at such a comic exhibition is a leap forward in his life.

Ruri Gokou, who was standing by, noticed all this and saw through Kyosuke Kousaka's embarrassment, but she didn't say anything. Kousaka Kirino was immersed in her own excitement and didn't notice that her brother was on a path of no return.

"I heard that Ms. Madoka's stall sells works with younger sister characters?"

Kousaka Kirino suddenly started talking about games with Madoka Nene, which surprised Madoka Nene a little, but she still nodded.

"Yes."

"Then please give me two copies! I want to buy them back!"

"I see. Wait a moment then."

Faced with Kousaka Kirino's request, Yuanye Ningning naturally would not refuse. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up two copies of the game, put them in a paper bag, and handed it to the girl in front of her. Looking at the girl with an expectant look, she opened her mouth, but stopped herself from speaking.

After thinking about it, he decided not to tell anyone about the minor problem in his game. It wasn't a horror game anyway, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Saori has arrived, but she's currently queuing outside. We're..."

Gokou Ruri looked down at the message and found that Makishima Saori had arrived outside the exhibition hall. She looked up at the rest of the people.

Kousaka Kyosuke raised his hand.

"I'll go pick her up outside. I don't have anything else to do. I'll just wait for you outside."

"I'll accompany you."

Facing Kyosuke Takasaka who was about to leave, the standing Kento smiled at him, and the two left the stall together. Kousaka Kirino looked at the busy people at the stall, and couldn't help but pull Gokou Ruri's hand and asked her quietly.

"Um, that boy just now, seems to be very respected in this club?"

"He is the president of this club, and the other four are his employees."

"What is his relationship with the others?"

The gossip question made Gokogen Ruri frown. After a moment of silence, she gave an answer.

“Employee relations.”

Gokou Ruri was wearing a black Gothic-style long skirt and she attracted some attention from tourists standing at the stall. Some people even came to the stall and asked if the character Gokou Ruri appeared in the game. However, after receiving a negative answer, many people hesitated and bought a copy of the game.

I think it will definitely bring them some different and exciting experiences.

"Ah~ Gui'an, Xiao Tongtong, Black Cat~"

"Could you please not call my name in such a strange way?"

Gokou Ruri looked at the woman wearing thick glasses and dressed like a "homebody", and couldn't help but sigh. She frowned slightly and looked at "Saori Bajina" who came in front of her and Kousaka Kirino, and touched her forehead with her hand, looking troubled.

Xianren, who came back with her, set his eyes on Kousaka Kirino.

"Your brother is resting in a restaurant outside now."

"Um...thank you."

Kousaka Kirino was not completely indifferent to her brother's affairs. She was silent for a moment, nodded and thanked the wise man. "Miss Saori" looked at Kousaka Kirino with a subtle expression, chuckled in her heart, and went to buy the items she was interested in.

The others went with their companions and stayed at the booth, chatting about the comic exhibition and their own lives. They also showed some interest in things like forming their own clubs.

"It's impossible. If my father knew I liked these, he would definitely throw them all away and impose all kinds of restrictions on me!"

After just chatting for a while, Kousaka Kirino thought of her strict father at home, and couldn't help but frowned, sighed and gave a negative answer. Gokou Ruri looked at her, and she didn't have too many expectations. She was silent for a while and didn't continue the topic.

After waiting for a while, Saori returned to the crowd, holding some fan works related to "mecha", and sat down in front of everyone.

Feeling the atmosphere of the comic exhibition here, I helped sell some games when Yuanye Ningning and others left the stall for something. At noon, the three of them left the comic exhibition, leaving the five people in the club sitting at the stall, all with boring expressions on their faces.

“How many copies have been sold so far?”

"About 271."

"I've made a small profit, but if I can sell another 100 copies this afternoon, I'll still make some money."

Everyone had different expressions. They sat quietly at the stalls, waiting for time to pass. When it was closing time, the group tidied up the stalls, made sure that no items were left behind, and left the exhibition hall together.

The others stayed in Tokyo overnight, while Nene Maruno took Kento back to Chiba.

The items were not suitable to be kept in Tokyo, as people were living in Chiba. Naturally, all the remaining works and various gifts were piled up in the house in Chiba.

As the sky darkened and the lights came on, the residential area was silent. The two carried the various items from the car into the mansion and placed them in the small storage room adjacent to the office. Then they sat together in the house to rest. Yuanye Ningning's body was not very good to begin with, so she had no strength after just a little bit of carrying. It was basically Xianren who did the rest of the carrying.

Now that she could rest, she looked at Xianren sitting on the sofa and took the initiative to pour the unopened barley tea in the refrigerator and placed it in front of Xianren.

"Thank you."

"No... no need. Um, Miyamizu-kun, are you going back tonight?"

"Tonight... I won't be going back tonight."

At this time, if I go back to Tokyo, it will be late at night. Besides, I have done so much physical work and I am extremely tired. If I go back to Tokyo, I will probably have to fall asleep on the way.

"Well, I'll go prepare dinner. Miyamizu-kun, you've been tired all day, so take a good rest."

Faced with Yuanye Ningning who took the initiative to take on the matter, Xianren, who was indeed a little tired, asked her to handle it.

I saw Yuanye Ningning excitedly preparing the ingredients and preparing a sumptuous dinner for Xianren and her. The ingredients in the refrigerator were still relatively fresh and there was no problem eating them. Maybe it was Xianren's illusion, or maybe it was because he was too tired, but when he tasted the dinner, the taste seemed to be much better than Yuanye Ningning's previous cooking?

After dinner, Xianren took the initiative to take charge of the cleanup. He carried the dishes to the sink, washed them, and placed them in the cupboard.

There were no entertainment activities, and Xianren didn't even have the energy to go to the office to turn on the computer. He just wanted to rest early, so he went to the bathroom to run the water and asked Yuanye Ningning if she wanted to take a bath first.

"Um, um, do you want to come together?"

After hearing Xianren's question, Yuanye Ningning's sudden invitation made Xianren, who was drowsy and only wanted to go to sleep, have some problems with his thinking process when he was about to answer "yes". Then he turned to look at Yuanye Ningning, was silent for a moment, and with her blushing... probably shy expression, she lowered her head and confirmed it.

"Together?"

"I...I think it's a bit of a waste of water to split it between two people."

Far-fetched reasons.

But no one refused... Oh, there were still many reasons to refuse.

"Let's go together then."

But Xianren still agreed, feeling calm as if he was not burdened by too much debt. He walked up to Yuanye Ningning, picked her up and went into the bathroom...

During the day, there were many things I wanted to buy at the comic convention, but my living expenses were so tight that I couldn't buy them all. I could only buy some works that interested me. Thinking about the rest of the summer vacation, it seemed that I didn't have any budget to go out.

"I need to see if there are any other part-time jobs. The bookstore job... the income is a bit low."

Due to age restrictions, it is obviously impossible for her to get any serious part-time job. For example, the part-time job in the bookstore was just a kindness from the old man. It would probably be difficult for her to find other jobs.

Sitting in the room, Gokogen Ruri couldn't help but open the browser on her computer and typed in the content she was interested in - 'middle school student', 'part-time job', 'income'

After entering several keywords, the content that popped up disappointed her.

'Age certificate, household registration certificate'

'Certificate from the principal that 'it does not affect learning''

'Guardian consent form'

'Child Permit Application Form'

A middle school student needs to obtain four certificates before being allowed to work part-time. Just thinking about it makes it so troublesome. Parents will definitely not agree to it easily.

The family's current financial situation is certainly tight, but her living expenses are not greatly restricted. She mainly spends on her hobbies. If she needs these funds, her parents will definitely not agree to give them to her.

"what……"

Sighing, Gokou Ruri walked to the window, wanting to look at the moon in the sky.

But when you open the window, you find that the light is still on in the house next door?

"No, wait?! That shadow is...?!"

The girl blushed, closed the window, and hurriedly lay down on her bed. She wrapped herself tightly in the thin summer quilt and tossed and turned in bed.

The images reflected in my eyes kept appearing in my mind, and even when I closed my eyes, they became clearer.

In the already hot summer, seeing such a...

"Ah——what on earth are you thinking?!"

Complaining in her heart, Gokou Ruri lay on the bed for a while, but couldn't help but sit up.

I came back to the window and glanced out cautiously...

- - - -

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

Chiba New Story: 451. Trying to hide something only makes it more obvious.

After a busy day, the other three people took a break in Tokyo for a while. Kento in Chiba didn't want anyone to disturb his time alone with Nene Madoka. So at the beginning, he had to be closer to Nene Madoka to appease her inner desire.

In terms of age, Yuanye Ningning is older, but in terms of personality, Xianren is slightly more mature than Yuanye Ningning. He doesn't want Yuanye Ningning, who has just felt some inner comfort, to feel neglected.

In Xianren's opinion, it was inevitable that the other three people would discover their relationship. He himself was definitely fine, but the same could not be said for Yuanye Ningning.

Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, looked at Yuanye Ningning, who blushed when a cup of tea was brought to him. He was very suspicious of what Himeno Igen, who was originally a bit extroverted... He didn't know if this was the right description, would do after knowing his relationship with Yuanye Ningning.

When Xianren was thinking about the next step of the club and what topic would be better to cover, the doorbell suddenly rang. Xianren, who was sitting in the living room, had not responded yet, but Yuanye Ningning hurried to the door and opened it on her own initiative.

"Good morning, Ms. Madoka."

"It's Liuli, what's going on today?"

Seeing Gokou Ruri standing at the door, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt, instead of the Gothic style clothes like yesterday, Yuanye Ningning was a little surprised. She looked at the girl in front of her, wondering what happened today.

"I have some procedural questions that Ms. Kosaka needs to answer. I wonder if she has time right now?"

"I'm sorry, Kosaka and the others are not in Chiba today. They won't be back in Chiba for about a week to continue developing the new work. If you don't mind, Liuli, you can come in and sit for a while. I can contact Kosaka for you."
