I won't be a loser.

When we got to the classroom, there weren't many people, but there were already quite a few.

Xianren walked to his seat, sat down, took out the pink envelope from his schoolbag, put it on the desk, put the other books on the desk, hung his schoolbag on the desk, and then he slowly took out the envelope from the desk.

A pink envelope with 'To Miyamizu-kun' written on the cover.

There is nothing else. The fact that there is no red heart on the seal makes Xianren feel that the other party did not do it carefully enough, so he has to deduct some points.

"The texture inside doesn't feel like letter paper, so it can't be a confession, right? No, I can't be sure."

After holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully for a while, Xianren opened the envelope in his hand. When he looked inside the envelope, he saw a thin stack of photos.

"......"

He looked at the people around him and it seemed that some of them were also looking at him. Xianren was silent for a moment and silently selected the last photo with his finger.

"........"

It was a photo of him, sitting alone on a bench in the school yard.

'When was the photo taken?'

Xianren frowned slightly, slowly pushed aside the photos, and looked at the second to last photo.

It's a photo of him on his way home.

"........"

The feeling that something was wrong became stronger and stronger. He realized that these photos seemed a little strange, so he took out the remaining photos.

There are five photos in total, all of which are solo photos of him. They were taken when he was alone without his knowledge.

After silently placing the photo on the table, Xianren fell into silence. He stretched out his hand, gently placed it on his forehead, and fell into long contemplation.

If I'm not mistaken, this can be considered a 'tail O' and a 'steal O', or even a 'visual O'.

who is it?

why?

What's the point of doing this?

Xianren frowned and calmly placed the photo and the pink envelope into his schoolbag. Under the gazes of others, he was very calm, as if nothing had happened...

- - - -

I feel sleepy and I will go to sleep immediately.

There is only one update left for now, I will talk about it when the sun comes up

Thanks to the damn stealing cat and Ultraman Deka for the monthly pass and blades! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes!

Cherry Blossom Season: 93. Is this... too fast?

"I heard that a girl gave you a love letter?"

Xianren was tidying up his desk and preparing to go to the courtyard to sit under the lush green trees and spend a leisurely lunch break. Before he could even leave the classroom, he was intercepted by Yihua, who approached him and looked at him with a smile.

There was a hint of ill intention in his words, which made Xianren look towards May for a moment.

Probably guessing that Kento would become suspicious of Ichika after being pestered by her, the girl left the classroom early and her whereabouts were unknown. Looking at the others who had disappeared, she thought that they must have gone to the cafeteria with the other Nakano sisters.

His eyes fell on Ichika who was standing beside him, and Xianren shook his head.

"No, it's not a love letter."

Looking at the girl next to her, Ichika couldn't help but feel a little surprised and astonished by the answer given by Xianren. She thought Xianren would deny it, but now it seems that things seem to be a little different from what May said?

Facing Ichika's curious and confused gaze, Xianren shook his head and did not explain to her what kind of letter he had received. He slowly left the classroom.

Even though he put it in his schoolbag and many people saw his actions, Xianren was not worried that someone would take it from his schoolbag. No one would be stupid enough to do such a thing in front of other classmates.

Seeing Xianren leaving the classroom, Ichika wanted to follow him, but seeing that Xianren didn't look very happy when he left, Ichika suppressed her emotions...

Xianren came out of the classroom and into the courtyard. He sat down on the bench where he usually sat. He slowly raised his head and glanced at the teaching buildings surrounding him. From the angle from which he was photographed, he looked towards a certain place and found that there seemed to be only an empty classroom there.

"Is there no one there?"

He slowly looked in other directions again. Xianren didn't see any suspicious figures, so he quietly unwrapped the rice ball in his hand.

Although he could prepare his own lunch or eat in the cafeteria, it was too much trouble. He only prepared his own lunch for the first two days after school started, but now he no longer has the energy or interest to do so. As for going to the cafeteria...

Until he had more money to live on, he felt he might as well prepare his own lunch.

His lazy character improved a little when he first returned to his youth, but as time went on, his "true nature" gradually revealed itself. He was a lazy and indolent person.

Anyway, on the way to school, there is a shopping street that specializes in selling rice balls. There are all kinds of rice balls, which taste good and are affordable, so there is no need to go to the cafeteria.

I put the fried chicken rice ball into my mouth. After a morning, it was a little cold and the taste had deteriorated a bit, which was a bit regrettable.

"It's another person."

"Ok?"

The voice sounded beside him. He looked to his side and saw a girl appear beside him. That familiar white coat, wasn't she the girl from yesterday?

"It is you."

He glanced at the girl who appeared beside him. His gaze lingered on her, stayed on her face for 1 second, and then paused for 2 seconds on the ups and downs in front of her body before he silently withdrew his gaze.

"......"

Futaba Rio also noticed Kento's gaze, and recalled the past memories. Her mood became a little worse, but she didn't know why, she felt a little nervous. She slowly walked to the side of the bench and sat down next to Kento.

Xianren, who was chewing on a rice ball, brought the juice in front of him, took a sip, and looked at the girl beside him.

"Didn't you buy lunch again today?"

"No, I brought lunch. Yesterday...it was just an accident."

A lunch box was taken out from behind the girl for some reason. Xianren was a little surprised. He turned slightly to look at her flat back and then at the lunch box on her legs.

"So you can prepare lunch boxes? I thought... um."

He stuffed the remaining rice ball into his mouth. His guess that the girl couldn't make bento was just his own subjective impression. After all, he didn't even know whether the bento in her hand was made by her. Xianren took a look and picked up another red bean rice ball.

Looking at Xianren who opened the package of rice balls and started to eat them, the girl opened the lunch box in her arms and couldn't help but glance at the boy next to her.

Hesitantly, he slowly brought the lunch box to the wise man.

"Um...if you don't mind, this..."

Looking at the bento in front of him, Xianren was a little surprised. He glanced at the girl next to him who had a calm face but a somewhat evasive look in her eyes, raised the juice, and took a sip.

"Is this your lunch? I've had enough rice balls."

"But... those rice balls were also your lunch yesterday, right?"

"......"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xianren was silent for a moment, then he looked down at the lunch box in front of him which looked pretty good. He stretched out his hand, picked up a toothpick from the lunch box, picked up an octopus intestine and put it into his mouth.

"That's all, well, it tastes good. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After smiling at the girl, the sage did not continue to spend time with her, but slowly left the courtyard.

Futaba Rio, who wanted to stay with Kento for a while longer and chat about some things, looked at Kento's gradually receding back, opened her mouth, was silent for a moment, lowered her head silently, and ate lunch alone.

The lonely figure on the bench left the sage in the atrium and stood at the entrance of the teaching building. He looked back and walked silently towards the vending machine beside him.

When Futaba Rio was eating quietly with her head down, a hand holding a can of drink was handed to her.

"?!"

He slowly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him who had already left, feeling a little surprised.

"Just Bento will be a little thirsty, right?"

“Thank you, thank you…”

"I remember you were the one who gave the speech at the beginning of the school year..."

"Futaba Rio."

"Miyamizu Kenshin, please give me your guidance."

"Hmm... well... please advise me."

With a slight blush on her face, Futaba Rio took the drink handed to her by Kento and answered shyly.

For a period of time, Xianren was obsessed with some campus-themed works, watching him interact with beautiful girls in his classmates, hypnotizing the beautiful female department heads in the school, and coercing beautiful teachers who looked strict in school but were like useless people outside of school... cough.

After lunch, Xianren returned to the classroom and looked at the teacher teaching at the podium, lowering his head and making corrections in his notes.

Occasionally, there are times when he feels that he seems to be missing something compared to other reborn people. Even though he has a basic start in life that can be predetermined for himself before he is born, there are still too many uncertainties in life. It may also be that he is simply too greedy, so he wants to give himself a more specific idea, but he doesn't know what he really needs.

"My soul is completely rotten..."

Xianren would occasionally get distracted and quickly write down what was on the blackboard. He continued like this until the get out of class was over. He casually closed the notebook on his desk, raised his head, and sighed deeply.

"Hey, Umetaro."

"Is there anything in particular you'd like to do?"

"rest."

"......"

Xianren, with his head tilted back, slowly sat up straight, and then slowly looked at the boy sitting behind him with an expressionless face but sincere eyes.

"Besides rest?"

"Sleep. I don't have much time to sleep and rest on weekdays. If possible, I hope to have a good night's sleep. Even if I do sleep on weekdays, I will be woken up in the middle of the night because of work. I have to pull back the covers and sit at the table in the early morning, working alone until the early morning."

Looking at the expressionless Nozaki Umetaro, Xianren was silent for a moment, then smiled and spoke slowly.

"What job?"

"comics."

"......"

I originally thought that my relationship with Nozaki Umetaro was not that deep, and that it would take at least half a semester before he would tell the wise man at my work. I did not expect that after such a short period of time, Nozaki Umetaro would take the initiative to tell me.

"Manga... Umetaro, are you drawing manga?"

"Well, a while ago, I submitted a comic book to a magazine and it was accepted. Then I was invited to serialize it. It's a good thing to be able to serialize it, but the workload suddenly became heavy, so..."

His eyes slowly fell on the wise man in front of him. Umetaro Nozaki stretched out his crossed arms, gently placed his right hand on the notebook, and patted it lightly.

"Miyamizu, are you interested in becoming a manga artist's assistant?"

High EQ: Are you interested in becoming a cartoonist's assistant?

Low emotional intelligence: There is too much work and I lack a tool person.

"I think I had some experience before..."

He wanted to answer that he had no experience, but suddenly remembered that he seemed to have helped Eriri do some things before, and he couldn't help but be speechless. Looking at Umetaro Nozaki in front of him and the notes he was writing, Kento sighed.

"Weren't we just talking about something we particularly wanted to do? How did it become like you invited me to be your assistant?"

"Inviting an assistant to help complete the serialization task is exactly what I want to do now. How about it? Are you interested?"

Looking at Umetaro Nozaki in front of him, Xianren looked at his face and slowly chuckled.

"Of course you can, but I also have a lot of things to deal with, so don't count on me too much."

"Well, I didn't count on you, Miyamizu. It's just that I can't find a suitable assistant for the time being. Let me give it a try first. If it's suitable, I'll use it first. When I find a more suitable assistant in the future, you won't need my help anymore."

Glancing at the other party's notes, Xianren had no choice but to consider it a deal. At the same time, he was quite interested in the work of serious cartoonists like Umetaro Nozaki.

"You're really straightforward. But it's good that you didn't put all your hopes on me. It's the best thing."

"Come to my house tonight and see if it's suitable. You shouldn't have anything to do tonight, right?"

Xianren thought carefully and realized that even though he returned to the apartment today, it was just like any other day. There shouldn't be anything special, so he nodded.

"After school, let's go home together."

After making an appointment with Kento to go home together, Umetaro Nozaki also showed a rare smile, silently let go of his hand, and let Kento take his notes.

"By the way, what's your pen name?"

After taking the notebook away, Xianren slowly turned around and looked at Umetaro Nozaki behind him.

"Sakiko Yumeno."
