I won't be a loser.

After coughing lightly, Yoshii Akihisa looked down at the wise man sitting in his seat as if nothing had happened.

"So, what's going on between you and Ichika-san? It's only been a few days since the start of school..."

"Less than a week, and you're already together? You're quite capable, Xianren."

Seeing Yoshii Akihisa counting the days with his fingers, Sakamoto Yuji directly pressed Yoshii Akihisa's head, asked him to move aside, came to Xianren's side, and started teasing Xianren.

"No, we're not together. We're just good friends. You might have misunderstood the relationship between us."

"But now everyone in the class thinks that you two are having an affair."

Facing the slowly raised little finger in front of him, Xianren stretched out his hand, covered Sakamoto Yuji's little finger, and sighed helplessly.

"That's just your assumption. My relationship with Ichika is very pure, even purer than the water of the Ganges."

"Hoo ho."

Sakamoto Yuji chuckled and did not answer. He looked at Yoshii Akihisa who was angry at him and raised his fist to signal him, and Yoshii Akihisa shut up.

"Well, keep up the good work. If you ever get a girlfriend, remember to introduce her to us."

Dragging Yoshii Akihisa back to his seat, looking at the two noisy figures, Xianren chuckled, glanced in the direction of Nakano Ichika, chuckled, and shook his head.

He had a very good impression and feeling towards Nakano Ichika, but since he had already confirmed his relationship with Setsuna, he would not confirm his relationship with other girls.

noon.

Everyone in the classroom walked out of the classroom, just like Xianren who did not make lunch boxes yesterday, and walked towards the cafeteria. While walking on the way, there was one more person beside him.

"Are you still alone today?"

"Not with your sisters?"

"You can also come with us. Nino has a good impression of you. Perhaps you can try to launch a campaign against Nino?"

Nakano Ichika, who doesn't care about her identity as an older sister at all and even tempts Kento to attack her own sister, is really an eye-opener for Kento. He never expected that there is such a sister.

"That sounds good, but forget it. I've just entered high school and I don't want to be labeled a 'scumbag'."

"Wow, you won't mind it anymore?"

"I didn't say that, did I?"

I walked into the cafeteria with Nakano Ichika, got our meals together and sat together like we did yesterday, but compared to the two of us yesterday, there were some more people there today.

"excuse me!"

"You don't mind sitting here?"

"..."

"I'll sit here."

Ichika and Ken had just found a seat and sat down when four figures followed closely behind them. As they sat down, they came to the same table as them and sat down.

Then all eyes fell on Xianren, which made Xianren a little uncomfortable for a moment. He turned his head to look at the four girls who looked almost the same as Ichika. Except for Miku who avoided his sight, the other three smiled back.

"..."

It was a slightly awkward lunch. Kento, who was being watched the entire time, no longer had the composure he usually had when he was with Ichika. Kento had to pay some attention to his image, and it was not appropriate for him to speak flirtatiously in front of any girl other than Ichika.

He just took two quick bites and almost filled his stomach. Then he remembered what he had to do, so he stood up first, said goodbye to Ichika, and left the cafeteria.

"gone."

Yotsuba looked at Kento's leaving back and couldn't help but sigh with regret, then observed Ichika's reaction.

“That’s too much.”

Miku looked at Nino and frowned slightly.

"If you really want to be with Ichika, then sooner or later you'll have to get used to us, right?"

Nino, on the other hand, answered Miku nonchalantly, her eyes falling on Ichika, who also seemed a little depressed.

"What is the situation now? What is your relationship with him?"

"We were classmates, and I had wanted to get closer to him, but now it seems like the distance has suddenly widened."

Looking at Nino with a sigh, Ichika rubbed her forehead with her hand. She had originally thought that she could take advantage of the lunch opportunity to get closer to Kento, but she didn't expect Nino and the others to just sit beside her like that, making her not know how to chat with Kento.

After lunch, the distance between us didn't seem to be shortened at all, but instead there was a sense of distance.

Nino pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed, but she did not admit her mistake. She ate her lunch in silence.

As for Kento who left the cafeteria, he started looking for Eriri after returning to the classroom. When he saw the blonde girl sitting in her seat, he went straight to her.

"Do you have time?"

Cherry Blossom Season: 75. No Insider, Action Begins

When leaving the classroom with Eriri, they happened to meet the Nakano sisters who were returning to the classroom from the cafeteria. Ichika saw Kento and didn't expect that she would meet Kento coming out of the classroom just as she was about to return to the classroom.

"Where are you going, Xianren?"

"some things."

Smiling at Ichika, Kento led Eriri, who was following behind him, down the stairs. When they passed by each other, Ichika, whose attention was attracted by Kento, noticed the blonde girl behind him.

He looked at the blonde girl with a fragrant smell as she walked with some surprise. When they passed by each other, their eyes met briefly. Yihua saw the alertness in the girl's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. After she gradually walked away from her, Yihua stood there in shock.

"As expected, boys still like blonde girls more, right?"

Nino, who was standing next to Ichika, watched the two people leave, and her eyes slowly fell on Ichika.

"Isn't it interesting?"

Watching Kento and Eriri disappear in the stairwell, Ichika turned around to look at Nino beside her, and smiled nonchalantly.

This was very much in Ichika's style. Looking at Ichika who didn't seem to care much about her, Nino's mind flashed with the image of Kento. She didn't understand what it was about Ichika that made her like him. She silently put away her curiosity and walked towards the classroom.

"Good luck then. I'm going back to the classroom first."

Looking at Nino's figure, Ichika stood in the stairwell and fell into silence. After thinking for a moment, he slowly sighed.

Although I was very curious about where Kento and Eriri went after leaving the classroom, I'm afraid Kento would be somewhat dissatisfied if he knew that I was eavesdropping, right?

"Well, forget it, let's have a fair fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ichika walked towards the classroom.

Leading Eriri out of the classroom, Kento originally wanted to take Eriri to the rooftop, but when he entered the rooftop, he found that there were quite a few people there. He turned around and looked at Eriri behind him, and asked for her opinion.

"Change a place?"

"Um......."

The girl responded without refusing and followed the wise man silently, like a young wife. Her silence made the wise man a little uncomfortable.

He walked all the way from the rooftop to the school grounds, stopped beside a bench where few people passed by, and looked at the blonde girl behind him.

"Here, is it okay?"

"Ah."

"Well, take a seat."

He was the first to sit down at one end of the bench. Eriri, who was standing beside him, stared at the boy with her eyes, held down the hem of her skirt with her hands, and slowly sat down at the other end of the bench. After sitting down, she glanced at Xianren and spoke hesitantly in a low voice.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about? Let me be clear, I have a lot of things to deal with. If it's nothing important, I'll go back to the classroom."

Eriri had complicated feelings towards Kento. She didn't even know him before entering high school, but the dreamlike 'memories' that suddenly hit her memory made her completely confused, and she had many complicated feelings towards this boy she didn't know.

I originally wanted to keep a distance from him, and wait for a long time, maybe after those "memories" were gradually forgotten, I would no longer care about the boy.

However, during this time at school, she couldn't help but care about the boy, and even couldn't control herself, and would focus her attention on the boy from time to time.

When Xianren walked up to her and told her that he wanted to talk to her about something, she felt a burst of joy in her heart that she herself found inexplicable.

"I'm very sorry to interrupt your rest time, but there's something that I'm a little concerned about, so I wanted to ask Sawamura-san."

"Just call me Eriri."

When Eriri heard Kento call her "Sawamura-kun", she couldn't help but frown.

"......"

His heart sank, and Xianren felt that something was indeed wrong. Originally, his relationship with Eriri had not been going so smoothly. She did not let him call her name directly the first time they were alone.

"Any questions?"

The blonde girl frowned and looked at Xianren with a strange expression. If other boys were asked to call her by her name directly, they would probably be happy for a long time, right?

Why do you become so hesitant and reluctant when you are with the other person?

"That's not a big deal, but I have a question. Sawamura and I... Eriri, you didn't meet until we entered high school, right? Why do we feel so familiar?"

"..."

Thinking of her own 'memory', Eriri's expression suddenly turned grim.

That memory of complete tragedy and herself becoming a 'loser' was definitely not a good memory for Eriri herself. She bit her lips and glared angrily at Kento who was sitting beside her. The sudden change of her mood made Kento who was sitting beside her a little confused.

"No, it's nothing, it's just your illusion!"

Noticing the stunned expression on Kento's face, Eriri immediately controlled her emotions and spoke in a sullen tone.

"Don't think I really like what everyone in the class says, that I like you. I'm just grateful to you because you helped me... Don't get me wrong!"

The classic tsundere remarks made Kento's eyes looking at Eriri suddenly become subtle.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Noticing the subtle and strange look in Xianren's eyes, Eriri blushed suddenly, bit her lips in embarrassment and anger, and started to show her temper towards Xianren.

"No, so, Eriri, you don't know about that matter?"

"Huh? What's going on?"

That confused expression on her face, based on Kento's understanding of Eriri, if she had made that expression, she would definitely not have such a natural reaction, and would definitely have refuted it with a look of embarrassment and anger.

Eriri is not the criminal.

The wise man was silent for a moment, then he sighed slowly and stood up.

"Nothing, I just guessed something wrong. Well, let's stop here today. I wasted so much of your time."

"It's nothing to me, but what happened to you?"

The blonde girl couldn't help but feel concerned when she saw the seemingly unhappy Xianren.

This matter was not told to Eriri. Since it was basically confirmed that it had nothing to do with Eriri, Kento no longer wasted their time. The longer he stayed with Eriri, the easier it was for him to recall the past.

After thanking the other party for being willing to answer his questions, the wise man left first.

Eriri, who stayed on the bench, looked at Kento's disappearing back, but her eyes gradually became complicated, and her temperament gradually became different from before. She smiled and watched Kento's leaving back. She slowly lay down on the bench and put her face against the place where Kento had sat.

"Wise man..."

He stood in front of the vending machine, inserted a coin, and ordered a bottle of coffee. With a "clang" sound, he slowly bent down and took the bottle of coffee out from the outlet. However, his eyes caught a glimpse of a pair of slender and white legs that appeared beside him without him noticing.

The delicate little leather shoes and white socks seemed a little small, not like the size that a person of his age should have. Instead, they looked more like those of a cute elementary school student.

He glanced upwards and saw the familiar uniform skirt, the light yellow jacket, and the long silver-white hair. The seemingly petite and cute girl was also looking down at him, and her gaze met with Xianren's.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

It couldn't be considered a peek, he was just curious about who the wise man next to him was. After his eyes met the girl's, he silently straightened his posture, nodded slightly at the girl, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the girl next to him raised her hand.

"Ok?"

Thinking that the other party was about to call for help, Xianren, who was about to turn around and leave, paused and saw the girl raised her arm and pointed at the vending machine in front of her.

Following the other person's finger, Xianren saw the top layer of curry soda.

"this?"

After looking at the girl's height and the drink she was pointing at, Xianren walked over to the vending machine, pointed at the curry soda, and asked the girl to confirm.
