I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

"ha?"

“Ah?” “Ah?!”

Lady Luck, how many times do you have to stand on the wrong side?

Agreement

Before understanding the true meaning of something, it is easy for children to use the meaning of certain words according to their own understanding... Well, let me give you an example.

When I was a child and didn’t understand the meaning of “embarrassing”, I simply thought that the word meant “difficult” or “hard to do”, after all, it contains the words “difficult” and “for”. However, the real meaning should be “uneasy to do”.

So, when such a young child said "I want to be your girlfriend", I was surprised at first, and then I figured it out: she must not know what the so-called "girlfriend" means, and probably just thinks of this word as a word to use when making friends with a boyfriend... That should be it, so the reactions of the two people later were a bit too big... I have absolutely no interest in such a young girl, really.

"...Um, before that, can you tell me your name?" I asked her with a smile.

After all, knowing the name makes communication easier...

"My name is Lin Ying, it's all wood-like..."

"Ah... can I call you Sakura then?"

(Author: Sakura Kinomoto is my goddess, so... this is okay, right? Ha...)

"Ah..." She drooped her eyelids, seeming a little impatient. "It doesn't matter what, are you going to agree or not?"

"Hah... well..."

I couldn't help but look back at those two guys... Why are they looking so murderous? Do they really think I will agree? How childish you two are.

"Before this, Sakura, do you really know what a girlfriend is?"

I waited for her answer with inexplicable nervousness.

"Are you looking down on me?" She gave me a disdainful look and sighed. "Well, I'm young after all. You must think I'm still an ignorant guy, right?"

"ha..."

I didn't answer her, I just scratched my cheek.

"A girlfriend is someone you're going to marry in the future, right? Do you really think I don't understand?"

Ah, so she really knew... This is really a bit difficult, haha.

But, on second thought...

"Well, in that case..."

I turned around and glanced at Ye Jin and Ling Can again... well, it felt a bit dangerous...

"I'll just agree."

Chapter 6: Promise

“It hurts…”

What do you mean by kicking me from behind?

"Perverted lolicon." "Go to hell, useless old man!"

"......"

You guys really took it seriously... You're already grown-ups, why do you still think like a child?

"Wait a moment, Sakura. I have something to say to my two sisters."

Without waiting for her to answer, I pulled the two guys aside.

..............

"Are you elementary school students?"

I asked them somewhat helplessly.

"You pervert who likes to attack little girls, get away from me!"

"Yeah, go away!"

"Alas..." Seeing their reaction, I couldn't help but sigh, "Can you guys think about it carefully? Don't be so limited to superficial phenomena..."

"Huh?" Ye Jin frowned. "Could it be that you appear to like lolita, but are you actually a pervert on the inside?"

"Of course not!"

Aren't you usually very smart? Why does your IQ seem to be drained now?

"Look, if you were a child, would you confess your love to a handsome boy you've only been with for a short time?"

"Take away the handsomeness." Lingcan added.

"That's not the point! Even if you're precocious, you wouldn't just talk about being someone else's boyfriend so easily, right?"

"That's true..." Ye Jin nodded, "But why did you agree to this, perverted brother?"

"...This needs some analysis... Look, she wants a boyfriend so badly, what does that mean?"

"What does it mean?"

"If you dare to say something like that means you are handsome, I will beat you to death." Ye Jin said as he clenched his fists.

"Of course not..." I held my forehead. "It means she doesn't have many friends and is insecure. Maybe what I said just now has won her favor."

"That makes some sense..." Ling Can nodded.

"But you haven't said why you agreed."

Ye Jin once again raised this fatal question.

"...Of course I have to guide her." I answered her.

"Guide? How? Guide her to become as perverted as you?" She was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something. "Don't tell me you think... too perverted!"

So what the hell did you come up with?

"You guy..."

I said and flicked her forehead with my hand.

"Ouch!" She covered her forehead in surprise.

"What are you doing?" she asked me angrily.

"What kind of random things are running through my mind all day long..."

I shook my head helplessly.

"If a child of her age isn't properly guided, she might go astray in the future. She needs to develop a positive worldview, so I'm going to use this opportunity to guide her. Do you understand?"

"Ah? Really?"

Why don't you trust me...

"Brother, do you really have a correct worldview?"

"Yeah, isn't the worldview of the Loss Knight full of losers?"

You all question me like this, but my heart is filled with waves as surging as the sea... I'm kidding, my heart is not affected at all, I even want to hit someone.

"Although I'm usually a bit negative, that doesn't mean there's something wrong with my worldview. You should go review your philosophy textbook and learn what worldview is..."

They are really two guys who don’t listen carefully in class.

"Since that's the case... I'll trust you for now..." Ye Jin nodded, "Then send her home quickly."

"I understand, too. Although the Loser Knight's chivalry is a bit difficult to understand, I still think it's pretty good after understanding it."

"Well, now that you understand, you guys can go to the hot pot restaurant first. I'll take her home." I said as I glanced at Ying who was sitting at the bus stop.

"Well, you better come early, otherwise we won't wait for you."

"Yeah, don't complain like we forgot about you then."

These two guys are really...

"Okay, I got it. See you then."

....................

"Are you done?"

Sakura asked me when she saw me walking towards her.

"Well, I asked them to go eat first. Now I'll take you home."

"Ok?"

She stared at me and made a questioning sound.

"Um...?"

What happened...

"Shouldn't we go on a date?"

She had a very strange expression on her face.

Oh my god...how old are you? You still know how to date...

"Ah... well, as you can see, I have a date with those two sisters today, so can we change it to tomorrow or another time?"

"Then tomorrow will be fine." She took out her phone from her pocket. "Let's exchange numbers. I don't even know your name."

They already have cell phones... When I was her age, I wasn't allowed to touch them... Times really are constantly improving...

"Ha, my name is Yi Sheji, it's a bit complicated... Can you spell it? Or let me help you..."

She interrupted me before I could finish.

“Hey, that’s the words, right?”

As she spoke, she raised her phone in front of me... and she actually spelled it correctly. It seems that her knowledge of Chinese characters is quite high... for someone of her age.

But...her parents are often not at home. Who taught her this? I'm a little concerned.

.............................

"Okay, let's go then."

As I said that, I stretched out my hand.

"I get it, couples should hold hands, right?"

“Ahaha…”

Those who hold hands aren't necessarily lovers... Children's hands are so small and soft, and they feel so nice to touch...

Well, let's resolve the doubts in my mind first.

"Sakura, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"Does anyone usually teach you? I see you know more words than other kids your age."

"Ah, my sister usually teaches me my lessons. She's a very serious person and she often reads stories to me."

"Oh, I see... It seems your sister treats you very well." As someone who doesn't have any brothers or sisters, I'm a little envious.

"But she'll probably be angry that I've been out for so long this time..."

Well, they are just kids after all, they are still afraid of being scolded. For a frequent visitor to the homeroom teacher's office like me... no amount of scolding will help.

"It's okay. As long as I see you can return safely and apologize to your sister, she will definitely forgive you. In return, I will speak up for you, too. Don't worry."

He said and winked at her.

"Oh, that's great."

"But you have to promise me that you won't do anything like this that will make those who care about you worry again."

"Okay, I promise! Let's make a pinky promise!"

Looking at her extended little finger, I couldn't help but smile.

I've been using this agreement since I was a kid, and some kids still use it now... Maybe some kids will continue to use it in the future...
