I won't be a loser.

On the weekend, I went out according to the original plan.

The three of them went out together to Kasai Sea Life Park in Tokyo Bay, and the total cost of tickets for the three of them was 1650 yen.

Since Kento and Setsuna are 16 years old or older, they both have adult tickets of 700 yen, while Setsuna, who is only 15 years old, has a youth ticket of 250 yen.

"Sixteen is considered an adult."

Looking at the ticket in his hand, Xianren turned his head to look at the person next to him, who was holding the youth ticket with a somewhat conflicted expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"After all, you can get married at 16, and Setsuna will be considered an adult next year."

Qing Pu Mai looked at her daughter and noticed Setsuna's entanglement, but she didn't care too much. She comforted her casually. Setsuna, who seemed to be a little concerned about the age issue, walked into the aquarium with the two of them.

Sekai Saionji was lying in her room, thinking that she was the only one at home today, and Kento was going out with Setsuna's family. She couldn't help but feel empty in her heart, as if she had suddenly lost herself and didn't even know what she could do.

"Mom is also working. She still has to run the restaurant even on weekends..."

Looking back, since she was a child, Saionji Yuko seemed to have little time to accompany her, and she spent most of the holidays alone.

If she had asked yesterday, it wouldn't have been impossible for her to go out with Xianren, Setsuna and the others.

but now.

Lying in her room, Sekai Saionji tossed and turned, tugging at the quilt in her arms. She felt so irritable and empty...

They spent the whole day in the aquarium, arriving at around 10 am and leaving at around 2 pm. After leaving the aquarium, the three of them went to a restaurant in the port area. Kento accompanied Setsuna and Kiyoura Mai, mother and daughter, to go shopping. In the evening, they went to a famous restaurant nearby together.

"Looking like this, I'm still very attractive."

Qingpu Mai sat down at the dining table and smiled slightly at Xianren beside her.

Qingpu Mai, who had just come out of the bathroom, was approached by someone. Because the distance was not far away, Xianren could see it clearly.

"I know. I've always been familiar with the charm of Miss Mai."

Setsuna glanced at Xianren.

"Setsuna too, very cute."

Looking at Xianren, who was nearly half her age, Qing Pu Mai couldn't help but chuckle. She looked at Xianren with eyes full of love. Then she glanced at her daughter, feeling both relieved and a touch of guilt...

In the evening, he returned home with Qingpu's mother and daughter. After watching them return to the house, Xianren slowly walked towards his apartment. When he arrived at his door, Xianren saw something lying at his door.

After getting closer and seeing the 'object' on the ground clearly, Xianren's face showed surprise.

Cherry Blossom Season: 142. About Three Mothers

She was wearing a brown leather jacket with a dark red tank top underneath, and holding a small bag in her hand. She was lying at the door of his apartment, looking like she was asleep, leaning against his door drunkenly. No one knew when she arrived at the door of his apartment.

"Miss Yasuko, Miss Yasuko?"

He stretched out his hand, placed it on her delicate shoulder and gave her a gentle push. Her fair neck shook left and right, and her sleeping face, immersed in a sweet dream, suddenly showed an uncomfortable expression before the wise man noticed the change in her expression.

"Ugh—ugh—ugh!"

Sitting on the ground, Takasu Yasuko raised her slender, white hands to cover her mouth, but she still couldn't resist her body's instinctive reaction. A pungent smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of stomach acid, accompanied by a "wow", gushed out at the door of her apartment.

The wise man standing aside stared blankly at the blurry residue on his shoes and trouser legs, as well as the pungent smell that surged towards him. His mind went blank for a moment.

"Hmm—"

With a burp, Takasu Yasuko swayed after vomiting sideways. Xianren, who was standing next to her, looked at Takasu Yasuko who was completely drunk and unconscious, and stretched out his arms, supported her shoulders with both hands, held his breath, looked at the filth on the ground, silently shifted his gaze, took out the key from his pocket, opened his door, and dragged Takasu Yasuko into his apartment.

He didn't close the door, and he would have to clean up the mess at the door later...

Xianren carried Takasu Yasuko to his entrance and stared at her dirty jacket and jeans for a while, but still couldn't convince himself to accept someone lying dirty on his bed.

He silently took off her jacket and her jeans... but he didn't take them off. He was worried that he would contact Takasu Ryuji later, and when he came over and saw him taking off Takasu Yasuko's pants, he might misunderstand something. So he took a look at her and helped her directly to the edge of his bed.

He took a towel that he didn't use on a daily basis, soaked it in warm water, and went back to the living room to wipe Takasu Yasuko's face and lips, and then wiped her hands clean.

He returned to the bathroom, soaked the towel in boiling water, found a broom, and returned to the door. Looking at the puddle of filth, he was silent for a long time...

The cleaning work was not troublesome, but it was quite mentally torturous. Once the cleaning work was finished, Xianren felt as if he had returned from hell to the world in an instant. His mood gradually calmed down. He returned to the room and looked at Takasu Yasuko who was still drunk in her sleep.

He took out the cell phone from his pocket, found the contact number of the Takasu family, and called Takasu Ryuji.

"It's me, Sage."

"Ah, Xianren, what's the matter with you calling me suddenly?"

Ryuji's voice was heard on the other end of the phone. Kento had been doing his own things during this period and had not met Ryuji much. Takasu Ryuji was a little surprised when he received Kento's call.

“There is something…”

Looking down at Takasu Yasuko who was sitting on the floor without any reaction, he sighed slowly.

"Your mother, Miss Taizi, is at my house. Can you come and pick her up?"

"Taeko, is she at your place?"

"When I got home, I found her drunk and passed out at my door. I put her in my apartment for the time being. Can you come and pick her up?"

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

As soon as he said that Yasuko was with him, Takasu Ryuji quickly hung up the phone. Kento looked at his phone, then at the drunk Takasu Yasuko, sighed helplessly, turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Although he was not splashed much, he still felt a little uncomfortable with the dirtiness. He quietly took off his dirty pants in the bathroom, changed into clean pants, and returned to the room.

He took the dirty shoes directly to the bathroom. Considering that Takasu Ryuji would be here soon, he didn't rush to deal with them. He sat quietly in his room waiting for Takasu Ryuji...

The distance between Takasu's house and Kento's apartment is only about ten minutes' walk. With Takasu Ryuji's quick arrival, it only took him five minutes to reach Kento's door.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xianren, did Taizi cause you any trouble?"

When he heard the doorbell and opened the door, he saw Takasu Ryuji with an apologetic look on his face. Xianren looked down at the door, which was almost dry, and was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly.

"No."

"..."

Following the wise man's gaze, Takasu Ryuji looked at the wet ground beneath his feet, and his expression suddenly became embarrassed.

"Come in first."

Takasu Ryuji walked into the room silently, took off his shoes and went inside. He saw Takasu Yasuko sitting on the ground. He walked over slowly, reached out and gently shook his mother, but Takasu Yasuko just murmured and did not wake up.

Seeing Takasu Yasuko in such a state, Ryuji had no choice but to reach out and pick up the jacket beside him, and then carried Takasu Yasuko, who was sitting on the ground, on his back.

"I'm sorry, Xianren, for causing you trouble."

"No, it's not a big deal. Is Miss Taizi okay?"

"It's nothing, she's like that every day. She just drank too much. She just needs to go back and rest. Thank you. I'll come back to thank you when I have time. Now, I'd better send this guy home first."

"It's just a small thing, no need to thank me. Is it okay for you to be alone?"

"Compared to going to her shop and carrying her home on my back, this is just a small problem."

"......"

"I go first."

He arrived at the door, put on his shoes, hung his jacket on his arm, picked up Takasu Yasuko's shoes, said goodbye to Takasu Ryuji and Kento, and his figure disappeared around the corner. Kento, standing at the door, looked at Takasu Ryuji and Takasu Yasuko leaving, and looked down at the door.

I couldn't help but go back to the bathroom, mixed some disinfectant and shower gel with warm water, brought it to the door, rinsed the floor, and then returned to the house contentedly.

Although it's not very serious on a daily basis, he does have some minor mysophobia, and pays attention to details that few people notice...

Starting from Saturday, when he was with Futaba Rio at noon again, Kento sensed a sense of distance from her.

"After you got back, was your girlfriend angry?"

"Momenta? I guess he was angry, but not too angry. Instead, he channeled his dissatisfaction into another form and took it out on me. It took him a long time to recover."

“Recover…recover?”

Futaba Rio looked at the wise man in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the wise man's collar, but she didn't see any scars or marks in the collar. Her eyes drooped slightly, and when she saw something, she silently withdrew her gaze.

Hearing Futaba Rio's murmur, Xianren also raised his head and looked at Futaba Rio who just lowered her head. After thinking for a while, he felt that it might not be appropriate to talk about it with others after he returned to the apartment on Saturday, so he did not explain too much.

I randomly picked a topic to divert the conversation away from myself, sat in the laboratory until noon, and then returned to my classroom.

Most people in the class knew that Kento would disappear for a while at noon, but no one knew where he went except Eriri, who followed him.

The wise man returned to his desk quietly and sat down. He looked at the classroom, which had become quiet as the class was about to start. He glanced at the afternoon class and sat quietly in the classroom, waiting for the class to start...

"It seems like you go home very early every day. Do you have a girlfriend?"

When it was time to go home from school, while Kento was packing his schoolbag, Yoshii Akihisa came over and invited Kento to his house for a tasting session. In addition to him and Sakamoto Yuji, it seemed that some other boys in the class were also invited, but most of them were rejected. Surprisingly, Hideyoshi agreed.

Looking at Yoshii Akihisa who was standing beside him with a look of doubt, Kento stuffed all the textbooks into his schoolbag and slowly stood up.

"How about you try to get a girlfriend?"

“Eh? You, are you really…?!”

After picking up his schoolbag, Xianren patted Yoshii Akihisa on the shoulder and left the classroom first. As for Yoshii Akihisa, he stood in the classroom, watching Xianren's back as he left, sighed, and looked at the other two people who participated in the tasting session.

"Yuji~"

"Don't call me by my name in such a cheesy tone. It's normal for that Xianren guy to have a girlfriend, right? On the contrary, it's strange that he hasn't had a girlfriend for such a long time."

Yuji Sakamoto, with his arms folded in front of him, looked at Akihisa Yoshii who suddenly became pretentious in front of him, but his expression did not change. He was not like Akihisa Yoshii, who did not care much about the fact that the people around him had a partner.

Yoshii Akihisa sighed and accepted the reality that Xianren was very popular.

“Reality is so cruel.”

"I'm glad you understood this so quickly."

Xianren left the school and had no idea about the conversation between Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji after he left. He walked out of the school gate alone, looked at the intersection, thought for a moment, and then went to the nearest commercial street alone.

Because it was close to the school, when he arrived at the commercial street near the school, he could see many students wearing Toyosaki school uniforms. Xianren walked quietly into the commercial street, looked at the various shops around him, and after a while, he didn't see any products that he particularly cared about.

"As expected, small shopping streets like this don't exist?"

The key is that it is located near the school. Even if there are no stores he expects, it is very normal. He can only go to places like Shinjuku and Shibuya another day to have a look.

After quietly leaving the commercial street, Xianren returned to his apartment.

"The back of my head felt increasingly hot, as if it were on fire, and several times, something in my throat rose from my stomach. However, it was truly a chaos beyond words. I didn't know how to respond to his malice—should I be angry? Or run away? Or just laugh it off? I couldn't make a decision."

When he calmed down, sat at his desk, and gave up thinking about most things in reality, the wise man felt that his body and mind were also liberated a little.

It is estimated that it will take at least half a month to complete the entire work. Xianren put down the pen in his hand and glanced at the calendar on the desk in front of him.

The May holiday is getting closer, and I don’t know whether that guy Mitsuha will come to Tokyo as he said in our previous phone call.

Xianren hadn't seen Mitsuha for quite a while, and he missed her a little.

If Mitsuha couldn't come to Tokyo, there was really nothing Kento could do. He thought it was possible to take Setsuna with him to Itomori and stay at his house for a while. Kento was not sure about other people, but at least his mother would be quite interested in Setsuna.

When they were talking on the phone before, he also revealed his curiosity about Setsuna in his words.

Mingming was a virtuous man who had always been "chaste as a jade" in Itomori, but not long after arriving in Tokyo, he agreed to date someone, which made Miyamizu Futaba very concerned and curious.

Similarly, as Setsuna's mother, Kiyoura Mai, who agreed to her daughter's relationship with her son, also made Miyamizu Futaba very interested. However, if they were going back to Itomori, Kento was not planning to let Kiyoura Mai go with them.

He was worried that his mother would find out something.

If he was accompanying Mitsuha to Tokyo, there was nothing he could do about it, but if he was returning to Itomori, he felt it would be better not to let Kiyoura Mai have any contact with his mother.

Thinking about the holiday, Xianren didn't have the energy to continue writing. He put away the manuscript on the desk, walked to the refrigerator, took a look at the ingredients in the refrigerator, and prepared dinner...

"Mom, dinner is ready."

The shoji door was opened, and Mitsuha looked at Miyamizu Futaba, who was sitting in the room and seemed to be looking at something, and called out.

The sadness on her face quickly disappeared. Miyamizu Futaba looked back at her daughter, her eyes fixed on Mitsuha. After a moment, she nodded slightly.

"Well, you go first, I'll be there soon."

"Hmm...I understand."

Although she was a little curious about what her mother had just seen, after hearing her words, Sanye still honestly closed the door gently, and then went back to the living room first.

The footsteps at the door gradually faded away, and Miyamizu Futaba looked down at the letter in her hand again.

".......Now, it seems I have to go to Tokyo."
