I won't be a loser.

But when I went out, I found that there was nothing particularly interesting. I strolled quietly on the street, looking at the designs and shops around me that were full of a sense of the times. Even though a long time had passed, there was basically no big change.

"Now take a look here."

He didn't have much money in his wallet, so he just came here to take a look. If possible, he could buy something to take back. If conditions did not permit, he would have to wait until conditions permitted next time and then come here to replenish it.

"This is the Sony Xperia Z1 released last year. The price is...."

Xianren looked down at the price tag which showed over 100,000 yen. This was about all the money he had left, so he gave up the idea. For a moment, he was hesitant and considered whether he should work part-time in a male escort club.

I don't know if 'mom life' is still popular nowadays. I... No, I can't think about it anymore.

He looked at the counter in silence. Although it seemed to be up to standard from the perspective of the current era, for a "man of the future" like Xianren, such a price-performance ratio was really too outrageous.

It’s better to wait until next year 15 before considering it. In the second half of this year, the 6 will be released. Instead of buying the 5 and the Sony mentioned earlier, it’s better to save some money and wait until September this year to consider other options.

"It's still... five months away. It'll take some time to finish and release Honeyland."

The wise man suddenly felt the burden of life and no longer had the mood to continue wandering around the streets. He hurriedly took the subway back to his home, sat down at his desk, took out the manuscripts in the drawer, and continued writing.

When he arrived at the sage's house, he found that the door was not closed. He pushed it lightly and entered the house. He saw the sage sitting at the desk, writing furiously.

Seeing Xianren working so hard for some reason, Setsuna came to his side. Without disturbing him, she just stood aside and glanced at what he wrote. Then she was stunned...

"Ah, um... Onii-sama... he's... he's... coming..."

"Is this some kind of battle scene? Is the protagonist's sister fighting some enemy? Is the situation critical?"

He looked at Xianren, who was concentrating on writing. Not only did he not pay attention to the moment beside him, he was even whispering softly while writing.

"I can't... hold it anymore... um, let's say the following... together... um..."

Cherry Blossom Season: 92. Qualities that attract strange girls

The only time I noticed Setsuna's presence was because there was suddenly a cup of tea on my desk. I turned around and looked towards the room, and only then did I notice Setsuna sitting in my room, looking at me calmly.

"When did you come?"

"Half an hour ago."

"......"

It’s not that he didn’t notice Setsuna’s existence, but the wise man who was thinking didn’t pay special attention to Setsuna beside him, or he subconsciously ignored him.

It was only when he saw Shanshan sitting in the house that he came to his senses. However, even though he noticed Shanshan's existence, he still couldn't remember when the other party entered the room. He forgot the time and looked at the alarm clock on the desk in front of him.

"Half an hour ago, at five o'clock?"

The room was a little dim, and the sage felt his eyes a little sore. He stood up, walked to the wall and turned on the light. He looked back at Shanshan who was sitting in his room and stretched his arms and legs slightly.

"Well, seeing that Xianren was working hard, I didn't bother you."

"effort......"

Not knowing whether Setsuna had seen what he had written, Xianren returned to his desk, simply organized the contents, put them back in his drawer, and looked at Setsuna who was sitting in the room.

"Miss Wu, are you back?"

"No."

"Ah."

Xianren quietly prepared dinner. He simply processed the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator and prepared a curry as the main course for tonight. He also prepared some cold dishes. After waiting for the almost time, he walked to the window sill and looked at Qingpu's house opposite. He found that the lights were still dim. It seemed that Qingpu Mai had not returned home yet?

When he looked to the side, Xianren's eyes were a little confused. Normally, Qingpu Mai should have arrived home at this time, right?

"I don't know. He didn't tell me anything when he left today, so I don't know either."

Setsuna shook her head and said that she didn't know why Qingpu Mai hadn't returned home yet. Maybe the phone at home had rang, but she just stayed at home for a short while and then rushed directly to Xianren.

Confused, Xianren took out his cell phone from his pocket and found Qingpu Mai among his contacts.

Dial the other party's phone number.

"Hmm? Sage?"

"Miss Mai, aren't you off work yet?"

"Off work? I'm already off work. Oh, I forgot to tell you and Setsuna that I'm having dinner outside with my friends tonight. Don't wait for me. I'll be back later."

"Dining with friends?"

He looked at the person next to him with some surprise, not knowing who the other party's friend was. Xianren didn't have the heart to ask any further questions. He was about to say that he understood. When he was about to hang up the phone, another female voice was heard on the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong, Wu, is it the daughter of the family?"

"No, my daughter's...boyfriend."

"Oh, that's the one you mentioned—"

"Alright! Yuko, stop talking. Ah, the phone's still on. Um, Kento, you and Setsuna should take care of dinner. I'll be back as soon as possible. I'm hanging up now."

The phone was hung up in a hurry. Xianren looked at Shanshan next to him. The phone was not on speakerphone, but the voice was quite clear in the quiet room. He believed that Shanshan, who was standing next to him, could hear it clearly.

Setsuna nodded without any dissatisfaction or disappointment, and sat down calmly at the dining table.

"No need to wait for her."

"Ah."

Without Qingpu Mai, Xianren and Setsuna seemed a little silent when they were sitting at the dining table, and they ate quietly. After the meal, Xianren cleared the table, and Setsuna sat there, watching Xianren clean up. After sitting down, he slowly came to Xianren's side.

"A wise man."

"What's wrong, Setsuna?"

He looked at the girl who supported herself on the floor with her hands, slowly crawled to his side, and pressed her body on his legs, close to him. There was a hint of uneasiness in the girl's eyes.

"No, nothing, I just wanted to call you."

The girl, who pressed her body against Xianren's arms, lowered her head silently, and quietly pressed against Xianren's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Because he just thought about his immature body at school today, Xianren didn't do anything strange with Setsuna, but just held her quietly.

At around seven o'clock, Setsuna returned to his home and brought some pajamas and overnight supplies to Xianren's apartment. After the two took a shower together, they put on pajamas and lay in the same bed.

"Goodnight, Setsuna."

"Well, goodnight, sage."

Having left a note at home, Setsuna was no longer worried about her mother returning home and not knowing where she was.

Looking at the boy in front of her, Shanna slowly closed her eyes, lay down beside him peacefully, and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

After drinking with Yuko Saionji, Kiyoura Mai, who was a little tipsy, returned to her home.

"Stop... Ugh."

She was just about to tell her daughter that she was back, but she thought that if Setsuna was already asleep, she might wake her up. So Qingpu Mai walked slowly into the room in silence, looked at the darkness around her, groped the wall, and turned on the light.

In the living room that suddenly became bright, there was no sign of his daughter, and the room was also pitch black.

Well......

If Setsuna was at home, at this time, at least the lights in the living room would be on, right?

Qingpu Mai couldn't help but take two steps back, walked back to the door, and looked at the apartment opposite.

The lights were off, so he must have fallen asleep.

"......"

Qingpu Mai closed the door again and entered the living room. She noticed the note stuck on the table, reached out and picked up the note.

"Staying overnight at a virtuous man's house, don't worry."

"......"

The overly concise message made Qingpu Wu purse her lips, with a look of loss in her eyes. She looked sullenly at her daughter's room, and then walked silently towards her own room.

No more shower.

not in the mood.

After walking into her room and lying down, Qingpu Wu suddenly thought of something. She propped up her arms on the bed again, sat up slowly, and walked back to the living room.

pat-

He turned off the lights and returned to his room.

"Ah... so lonely."

He got up early in the morning and woke up Setsuna. Setsuna put on his school uniform and changed his clothes in front of Xianren. Xianren, who had just woken up in the morning, felt that his body energy suddenly became sufficient. He stared at Setsuna for a long time, was silent for a moment, turned his head away silently, and changed his clothes.

When the two of them went out together, Saionji Sekai, who was waiting at the door of Qingpu's house, stared at them walking out of the apartment together.

chirp——

The whole person of Xiyuanji World seemed to turn gray. She watched Xianren wave to her slightly, but didn't care. She stared blankly at Setsuna walking in front of her, stretched out his hand, and gently pinched her nose before she came to her senses.

Looking at the moment in front of her, she trembled all over. When would someone like her who had no boyfriend be able to stand up again?

"unacceptable!"

"what?"

When Shanda looked at the girl in front of him, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Shouldn't normal lovers be like this?

"Isn't it a bit too much to show affection like this in front of others? Setsuna!"

"Isn't this the case for normal couples? If you were in the same school, wouldn't you be able to adapt to the world faster?"

"......"

After a moment of silence, Saionji Sekai, who always said "It's a pity that you are not in the same school", fell into speechlessness after hearing Setsuna's words. She puffed up her cheeks sullenly and walked towards the school. As for Setsuna, he followed behind her and the two went to school together.

Kento, who was going to school alone, unexpectedly met Satsuki, the youngest of the Nakano sisters, on the way.

"Ah...our eyes met."

When May saw Xianren appearing at the corner, she also noticed him and even couldn't help but mutter something, which made Xianren a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Good morning, Nakano Satsuki-san."

"...You can call me Nakano-san or Satsuki. There's no need to call me by my full name. Doesn't that sound weird?"

"A little bit."

Xianren did not deny it, nodded, and kept a slight distance from May. The two walked on the way to school together. May was holding a bun in her hand. She didn't know if she minded Xianren's presence. At first, her pace was normal, but gradually slowed down.

Before he knew it, he had walked behind Xianren. Xianren didn't pay much attention at first, but when May disappeared from his sight, he turned around and noticed the girl biting the meat bun.

"......"

The satisfied and happy gaze, and the confused gaze, once again met each other from a distance.

The girl's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned her head away in shame. The wise man slowed down his pace slightly.

"Ichika, is she still not up?"

"Hmm... I'm still at home. It should be about time to go out."

May felt relieved that the topic of meat buns was not brought up. She carefully glanced at the wise man beside her and found that his gaze and expression were extremely calm, and he did not have any intention of mocking her, so she felt a little relieved.

"That's a little surprising. I thought the five of you went to school together every day."

"...It's like this on weekdays, but there are sometimes special days or special reasons."

"That's it."

Xianren nodded without asking any more questions. The two kept their distance and slowly came to the school. After entering the school gate, May met other friends and started chatting with them. Xianren didn't care. He walked to the teaching building alone. When he put his shoes into the shoe cabinet, he unexpectedly found a pink envelope.

"......"

It has been almost half a month since school started, and Xianren was a little surprised that someone sent him a love letter so soon.

I slowly picked up the envelope, and when I pinched it, I felt a subtle touch. It didn't feel like letter paper, but rather a hard plastic texture?

Xianren was silent for a moment, then silently took the envelope in his hand without opening it directly. He put it into his schoolbag, changed his shoes, and walked towards the classroom.

May, whose shoe cabinet was not far from Xianren, saw Xianren take out the pink envelope from the shoe cabinet. She was a little concerned, but did not think much about it. After changing her shoes, she followed Xianren into the classroom.
