I won't be a loser.

Futaba Rio turned her head to look at Kento beside her. She didn't expect that he would suddenly talk about his hobbies. She had no idea that Kento liked penguins, and she had never heard him talk about this before.

"Well, I saw a penguin's mouth once, and... well, thinking back on it makes me feel... a little physically uncomfortable."

"what?"

"Teeth, so densely packed teeth, so annoying."

He sighed and rubbed his forehead. Just thinking about it, Xianren felt particularly disgusted. Futaba Rio, who was standing next to him, opened the browser on her mobile phone and searched for the two keywords "penguin" and "oral".

He quickly retrieved the relevant content, and the expression on his face suddenly became subtle.

Futaba Rio, who had originally had some interest in the aquarium, suddenly lost interest and lost interest in creatures like penguins.

"Where are the dolphins?"

Futaba Rio didn't know much about this kind of thing, so when she talked about penguins, she asked about dolphins.

The wise man standing by didn't know much about dolphins.

"Male dolphins seem to have some rather unsavory hobbies, but I don't think we should discuss them in an occasion like this. If you're interested, I can talk to you about it after we get back."

“…I really do.”

However, Futaba Rio fell into silence all of a sudden.

After entering the aquarium and watching the dolphin show and the penguin show, the two left the place. At noon, they had lunch together at a nearby restaurant, and then Futaba Rio was going back to her school.

"Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"It's not very far, I can do it by myself. Will you come back tonight?"

"Probably not, but it's not certain. It depends on whether I'm busy at work or if I have other things to do. If I have nothing, I should be able to go back to you."

After lunch, the two talked about where the wise man would go tonight.

Regarding this question, it seems that Xianren himself cannot give a definite answer. He may be with Feng Xiaochun in the apartment, or he may go to Gokokuji with Futaba Rio. It is also normal for him to meet Qingpu Setsuna. He may also go to other places.

There are many places to stay, but for Xianren, he would more likely consider returning to his own apartment. Even though Xianren once thought that getting married would not have any impact, he now understands himself and is more inclined to a place with the name "home".

"Ah."

Futaba Rio nodded, didn't say anything, and stood up quietly.

"I'm going to school."

"Be careful on the road. Also, if you have any problems, remember to contact me."

"Ah."

Watching Futaba Rio leave the restaurant, Xianren, who stayed in the restaurant, looked at the remaining food on the table, picked up his chopsticks, and simply processed it. After feeling that he was almost full, he stood up and left the restaurant, paying the bill before leaving.

8,295 yen.

As for the price, it is not very expensive.

probably.

I took the subway back to the office and talked about my ideas with the people in the office.

“Does the website need to be rebuilt?”

"Let's design another website, like the official website for the agency. It's definitely time for some revisions. It needs to better reflect the purpose of our 'OC Club'. Character drawings should be placed on the homepage, followed by videos, and then various event information and announcements..."

After returning to the office, he called some key persons in charge, put forward his demands to them, and gave them a deadline. It was not a very tight deadline, but it was not ample either.

For example, if his subordinates give him 'one month', then the wise man has to compress it to 'half a month'. If it is not completed within half a month, he can continue to relax the time a little. However, if he gives a month at the beginning, it is difficult not to doubt that when a month has passed, he will have to give more time.

In order to avoid such troublesome things and save more time, he also learned how to "exploit" his subordinates during this time.

However, there aren't many days like this where overtime is required, and the overtime pay and various subsidies that should be paid are not reduced at all, so there won't be any strange comments like "black-hearted company".

Many young people are interested in working for OC Company. The salary and benefits are considered to be the conscience of the industry. People who are interested in this aspect often send their resumes to the company. Judging from the resumes Xianren has received so far, there are also some graduates from "Zao Keishi University of Science and Technology".

"For example, regarding the establishment of an electronic document library, please handle it as soon as possible. Don't neglect the relevant procedures and run it separately from the current office."

"What about the recruitment of manpower?"

"Let's check with the headhunting company and see if they can recommend some talents."

"I understand."

A publishing house has just been established. In this regard, Xianren does not have any special requirements. As long as it can run normally, it will be fine. As for things like development, it would be better not to think too much for the time being.

"At that time, we can hold some activities to recruit submissions, such as offering higher prize money and relevant content related to virtual anchors. If the content is popular, we will publish it directly."

The wise man sitting in the office thought about it seriously and gave his suggestions.

The people below just recorded it silently. For such a niche hobby, they didn't know whether it could be developed smoothly. But since the president had already said so, the people below couldn't give any useful suggestions, so they just had to implement it silently.

"Like other topics, wouldn't you consider it?"

“It can be considered, but the main focus should be on virtual anchors.”

"I understand."

After asking someone to leave the office, Xianren sat at his desk, looked at the documents on his desk, slowly stood up and stretched his body.

"what--"

"Well!"

I stretched out my arms and moved my body a little, and I felt a lot more relaxed.

"Today, other things..."

Staring at the report on his desk, he gently pressed his index finger between his eyebrows and thought seriously for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing else he could do.

"That's it for now."

After walking out of his office, Xianren looked at the people working diligently inside the firm and nodded with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Well, the wall is a bit empty, so I could ask a calligraphy expert to write 'hard work' and 'struggle'... well, not too hard. I could also add the words 'friendship' and 'happiness' and hang them in the office area."

"I could contact them and see if there are any calligraphy masters interested in this job."

This matter was also handed over to the people below to handle.

When there are more people under him, the salary paid out will also increase, but there will also be more people who can do things, and his free time will also increase accordingly.

"Within a reasonable range, we must effectively utilize our staff and achieve, even if not 100% efficiency, at least 90% efficiency!"

An efficiency of over 100% is not impossible, or even unattainable, but he doesn't want an employee to die suddenly in his office and be labeled as a "black-hearted company".

In the evening, Xianren returned to the apartment, sat down to rest, and poured himself a cup of tea. Feng Xiaochun sat beside him, watching an old TV series from the last era that he had recently bought, called "Love Apron", when his phone suddenly rang.

He turned his head to look at Feng Xiaochun beside him, and the other party also turned his head to look at Xianren.

"I'm going to take a call."

His wife didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. Xianren then stood up and answered the call from Fujiwa Onna.

"Hey, Xianren, are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow...it's nothing serious. What's wrong tomorrow?"

"Classroom visits. Your daughter's school allows parents to visit the school and attend classes. Do you want to go?"

— — — —

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

Chiba New Story: 477. Visiting Day

"Visiting...class?"

The wise man standing in the living room thought about it and was indeed very interested.

"tomorrow?"

"Ah."

He turned his head to look at Feng Xiaochun beside him. He seemed to have heard the conversation here, but he looked very calm and didn't seem to mind at all. Xianren thought about it.

"Are your parents going together?"

"That's not necessary. Usually, you just go alone. I want to rest at home tomorrow, so if you're interested, could you visit the school on my behalf?"

No one knew why Fujiwara no Nunu would call Kento like this, but Kento, who had never seen his daughter in class, was indeed very interested in this matter, so he agreed. He made an appointment with Fujiwara no Nunu that he would send Elliot to school tomorrow and stay in the school for a visit, and then ended the call.

Looking back at his wife sitting in the living room, Feng Xiaochun was just watching TV calmly without making any statement.

He slowly returned to her side and sat down. The white-haired girl slowly turned her head and looked from the program being played to the wise man beside her.

"A little, a little jealous."

"Do you feel jealous of children? I haven't seen you show any jealousy towards other people, like you do towards others."

After hearing Feng Xiaochun's words, the wise man who had just sat down also raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

"That's different. The others are similar to me. Even if some of your attention is taken away, it's not a big deal. But she is your only child now, and she has all your father's love. I am a little jealous of this."

“Fatherly love…”

The reason Feng Xiaochun gave, which seemed to be jealousy, made Xianren fall into silence for a moment.

For this reason, he really didn't know how to comfort her. Xianren, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, stretched out his hand after a while and gently hugged Feng Xiaochun's delicate shoulders.

"Wait a little longer. After you graduate, there's still a year left."

"Ah."

As if to comfort Feng Xiaochun and let her take a bath first, the virtuous man sat alone in the living room, looked down at the teacup on the coffee table, put two wolfberries in it, added a little ginseng, poured in boiling water, and then quietly watched the transparent boiling water change a little bit of color.

Looking up and watching the program playing, Xianren looked a little absent-minded...

6:27

The wise man woke up early, turned his head to look at the time displayed on his mobile phone, then turned his head to his side and found that his wife was still asleep. He then moved lightly, sat up quietly, and walked down from the bed.

He arrived at the door of his room, opened it, and went to the living room. He first heated up the milk, then went to the refrigerator, looked at all the ingredients, and started preparing breakfast for him and Feng Xiaochun at the kitchen counter.

7:15

He woke up Feng Xiaochun, who was still sleeping, and asked her to get up from the bedroom. After returning to the living room, the two of them had breakfast together.

After breakfast, Xianren, who had other things to do, left the apartment first. Feng Xiaochun, who stayed behind, sat at home. She watched Xianren leave, pursed her lips slightly, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes...

Although he was attending his daughter's school, Xianren did not dress too formally and did not want to give other parents an overly serious impression.

Wearing a light blue shirt, a white jacket, and a pair of plain glasses, Xianren drove to the door of Fujiwa's house, went up to Fujiwa's house, and met his daughter.

"Who?"

But after seeing the sage, Elio was completely filled with doubt. He stared at the sage at the door and was unable to react for a long time.

"Isn't your change too exaggerated?"

Fuji and Nunu, who were in the house, came to the door and were surprised when they saw Xianren. They had never expected that Xianren's style would change so much today.

"Not suitable?"

Seeing that both the mother and daughter had surprised expressions, Xianren looked down at his clothes.

Feng Xiaochun clearly didn't think there was anything wrong before leaving home, so he went out like that.

"No, it's not a question of whether it's suitable or not. It's just that the difference between yesterday's Cinderella and today's Big Bad Wolf is a bit hard to adjust to."

“…That’s indeed a big contrast.”

Xianren usually wears ordinary clothes, either white or black, and the color tone has always been dark. Suddenly, he wears aqua blue and white... Xianren's bright colors really made Fuji and Nunu a little difficult to adapt to for a while.

Elio, for example, was more innocent. She felt insecure about the wise man wearing glasses and was not sure that the man in front of her was her father.

"Have you finished your breakfast?"

"Yeah, I've finished eating."

After asking Elliot and confirming whether she had had breakfast, Xianren prepared to send her to school. He asked Fujiwa and Nvnu to take Elliot's schoolbag and Xianren took her to school.

The visit lasts for a whole day, from morning to afternoon. After Xianren sent Elio into the school, he parked the car in the parking lot near the school. After getting out of the car, he went to a nearby convenience store. After killing some time, he came to his daughter's school. After stating and proving his identity and getting permission, he entered the school.

Some other students' parents have also arrived at the school, most of them are women. It is rare to see a father like Xianren coming here. He walked quietly to the vicinity of his daughter's class and slowed down his pace.

Slowly standing at the back of the classroom, looking at the class in progress, Elliot was sitting in the middle of the classroom, looking very serious.

'Do you know I'm here?'
