I won't be a loser.

Because she thought Setsuna and Kento were in the same school, Miyamizu Futaba didn't think too much about it and asked about Kento's life in school.

"As for school, everyone is very nice and we get along well. I've made some friends. Life at school isn't much different from when I was at Itomori. The homework is also relatively easy. If I have any questions, I can discuss them with Setsuna after I get home."

"Go home... Aren't you two in the same class?"

Mitsuha took a sip of tea and raised her head, thinking that Setsuna was in the same class as her brother.

"No, we're not... a school."

"Eh? Isn't it the same school?"

Looking at Xianren in surprise, Mitsuha tried to get an answer from him.

"I met Setsuna because we lived close to each other, not because we went to the same school. She was in Sakakino and I was in Toyosaki. Our schools were in opposite directions, and we didn't even take the same route to school on weekdays. We only saw each other in the afternoon after school."

Mitsuha had no idea what type of school Sakakino attended, but she understood from Kento's answer that the two were not in the same school.

Miyamizu Futaba was also a little surprised. She thought the two were in the same school, but she didn't expect that they were studying in different schools. It seemed that they rarely had the opportunity to spend time together on weekdays.

Mitsuha, who originally had many questions, suddenly became silent after learning that Kento and Setsuna were not from the same school. Her eyes were wandering, and it was unclear what she was thinking about.

Suddenly, there was a bit of silence. Xianren started asking about some family matters, such as Yotsuba's school situation and her grandmother's health. After some conversation, he also wanted to let Setsuna know more about her family's affairs...

After about half an hour, the food was finally served. Servings of food were brought in front of everyone. Sanye stared at the exquisite dishes with sparkling eyes.

If this was the era when high-performance smartphones were popular, Sanye would probably have been eager to pick up her phone, start taking pictures from all angles, and upload them to her account.

When it was time to eat, everyone quietly ate the dishes they ordered. Even Sanye sat at the table seriously, eating quietly with a dignified attitude that was rare in her usual state.

Sanye would never have had such a personality before. I think it was because during the time when he was away from home, he was well "taught" by his grandmother and mother.

Sitting next to Kento in front of his family, she felt a lot of pressure, especially when she noticed Miyamizu Futaba's intellectual and dignified dining posture. She looked at her boyfriend with suspicion. Is his mother really just an ordinary woman?

It was unclear what Setsuna was thinking. Xianren was probably the most natural person at the table. He lowered his head to eat, and the entire room seemed unusually quiet.

While eating, Xianren did not think about too many problems. His mind was almost empty. He just looked at the food in front of him. As it was reduced little by little, Xianren felt that his leg seemed to be kicked lightly.

From the perspective of being kicked, he didn't even need to look down to guess who it was.

He glanced at Sanye who was sitting diagonally across from him. She was also lowering her head, seemingly eating, but in fact her eyes were away from him. After her eyes met his, she glanced at him twice and then stopped looking at him.

The meaning of the eyes probably means 'look down'.

The two who grew up together had a certain tacit understanding. He slowly lowered his head and saw a light yellow duck wallet kicked at his feet. He was stunned for a moment and looked at his sister again, but Sanye did not raise her head again.

If I get kicked over here, will her feet smell?

A somewhat unpleasant question popped up in Xianren's mind, but he smiled, reached out his hand, picked up Mitsuha's wallet, and with a light flick, threw it back to her side, giving her a look that said 'I don't need it'.

Sanye, who rarely softened her heart and showed a bit of good intention, was decisively rejected by the other party. She could not help but bite the barbecue in her mouth angrily, lowered her head sullenly, and ignored Xianren.

The moment she noticed something strange, she also noticed the eye contact between the brother and sister, as if they were conveying some message, but she didn't understand their tacit understanding, so she could only watch their interaction silently...

At the end of the meal, after taking a short break and preparing to get up to pay the bill, Xianren felt his leg being gently shaken. He turned his head to look at the girl sitting next to him, only to find that the girl had handed her own wallet to his hand.

"......"

The wise man, who felt that he was assumed to have no spending power, fell into a brief silence, then pushed the wallet back, his eyes indicating that he had a way and there was no need to worry.

Faced with the wise man's reaction, Shanshan was entangled and hesitant for a while, but still chose to believe the wise man. He lowered his head quietly and put his wallet away.

In order to avoid her mother, Miyamizu Futaba also considered herself and decided to pay for herself in the future. She left the box temporarily on the pretext of going to the bathroom, settled the bill at once, and then took the invoice and quietly returned to the box and sat down.

He wanted his mother to see it 'accidentally', so as to prevent Miyamizu Futaba from leaving the box and secretly paying the bill for him.

When Miyamizu Futaba saw Kento coming back with the bill, her original intention of paying for him was extinguished at once...

Mitsuha returned to the locker, took her luggage, and followed Kento, Setsuna, and her mother. They took the subway again and arrived at Korakuen Station. After walking for a while, they arrived at the apartment where Kento lived.

"Mom is waiting for me at home. I'll go back first."

Before arriving at Xianren's apartment, Setsuna stopped and prepared to go home for a while.

"Well, go ahead. I'll contact you when things are settled."

Setsuna nodded. She knew the size of Xianren's apartment very well. She knew that if there were three people standing in Xianren's room, it would still be spacious, but if there were four people in his house, the space would suddenly become small. She had already seen the situation of his family, so there was no need to follow them to Xianren's apartment and cause trouble for him.

In addition, the family has not seen each other for a long time, and it is time to let Xianren and his family be alone.

After some thought, Setsuna chose to leave temporarily and said goodbye to her sister Mitsuha and her mother Miyamizu Futaba. She then walked in the opposite direction, which was opposite the Kento Apartment.

Seeing them leave, Sanye was a little surprised. When she looked at Xianren again, she found that her brother and mother had already walked up the stairs. She hurriedly carried her suitcases and followed behind them, walking up the stairs together. When she was climbing up with difficulty, Xianren looked at her and helped her.

"With all this luggage?"

"You can't wear the same clothes every day, right? Also, there are some local specialties I brought to you on behalf of grandma, and there's also a 'gift' from Yotsuba."

"Gift?"

In response, Mitsuha just smiled mysteriously and did not explain what the gift was. When they arrived at the door of the apartment, Xianren pushed the door open, and Mitsuha rushed into the house first, even leaving her suitcase at the door.

Seeing Mitsuha rushing into his room, Xianren looked helplessly at his mother beside him.

Miyamizu Futaba sighed helplessly. After Kento entered the house with his suitcase, she slowly followed him into the apartment and looked at the environment her son had been living in Tokyo during this period.

Miyamizu Futaba has always had great trust in her son and felt that Kento could live well even if he was alone in Tokyo. After entering the apartment and seeing the clean and tidy environment, she confirmed her thoughts.

"It seems that even if you are alone, you can still have a good life."

"I can't let you worry too much, so I have to pay attention to every aspect of my life."

Regarding the satisfied Miyamizu Futaba, Kento also told her family that they didn't need to worry too much, and Futaba felt a little relieved about this.

"It's a completely different room from Itomori's, but it's so spartan. Just a few books on the desk, nothing else. Didn't you get bored during your time in Tokyo? There aren't even any manga, and magazines... ah, just one, the one you sent back to Itomori."

After entering the house, Sanye no longer concealed her restlessness and began to check the sage's room...

"arrive?"

Qing Pu Mai, sitting on the sofa, had been thinking about some very profound questions all morning. When she heard the sound of the door opening and saw her daughter coming home, she couldn't help but ask a meaningless question.

"Ah."

"It seems that the other party has a good impression of you and seems to be in a good mood."

"Ah."

"........"

Qingpu Wu gradually sat up, looked at her daughter, and asked her the question that she had been thinking about for the whole morning and was very concerned about.

"Well, what kind of person is the wise man's mother?"

- - - -

There are still 30,000 words left to reach this month's goal. Once I finish these 30,000 words, I think I'll be done with the extra chapters.

Cherry Blossom Season: 146. Tokyo University is just a small thing, not worth mentioning

Because it was a holiday, Qingura Mai, who stayed at home for a day, also wanted to go to Tokyo Station to accompany her daughter to welcome Xianren's family, but she felt a little guilty.

She was aware of the improper relationship between herself and Xianren, and she didn't know whether Xianren's mother would discover anything that shouldn't be discovered when she met her. With some complicated feelings, she was unable to go with her daughter after all. Now that her daughter is back, she couldn't help but ask about Xianren's family.

She went out in the morning and returned home in the afternoon. She felt a little tired, but it was not because she was physically tired. Facing the wise family members she cared about, she remained fully alert during the process of welcoming them.

Now that I'm back home, as soon as I relax, I feel exhausted all over. I go to the living room and see Qing Pu Mai sitting on the sofa with the remote control in her hand, and then I go straight to my room.

Open the door, close the door.

Qing Pu Mai, who stayed in the living room, couldn't help but frown when she saw her daughter's reaction. She put down the remote control in her hand, stood up and walked towards Setsuna's room.

But as soon as she arrived at her daughter's door and opened it, she saw Setsuna taking off her clothes, taking off her dress and putting on the looser and more comfortable clothes she usually wore at home. Then she walked towards Qingpu Mai, passed by her, came to the living room, and sat down.

"Ok?"

"Hyun-in's sister is a very lively person, but she has a good personality. Hyun-in's mother seems..."

She raised her head and looked at her mother, who was silent for a moment, which made Qingpu Mai show a confused expression on her face. She looked at her daughter suspiciously, suspecting that she was thinking about something rude.

"She looks dignified and polite, speaks softly, and is an excellent mother."

"Am I not outstanding?"

A frown appeared on Qingpu Mai's face. She stretched out her hands, grabbed Setsuna's cheeks on both sides, and rubbed them unhappily.

"Mmm-mm-mm-mm-"

The moment her face was rubbed, she let out a helpless cry until her mother vented all her unhappiness and let go of her cheek. She then gently rubbed her own face.

"When are you going to meet her?"

"Since you're back, does that mean they're in Xianren's apartment now?"

"Ah."

Looking in the direction of Xianren Apartment, Qingpu Wu sighed. It was probably a matter of time before they met, but Qingpu Wu herself had no idea when that time would be. She was already an adult and a mother, but at the moment she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Even when she was facing her family, she didn't feel as conflicted as she did now.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Sighing, Qing Pu Mai ignored her daughter's subtle gaze and lay back on the sofa with an expression that said 'there's no need to fight anymore'...

Sanye is a person who can't calm down. She looked around her brother's apartment inside and out. Standing on the balcony, she looked around. Facing the surrounding houses and apartments, her face was full of satisfaction. Just seeing this dreamlike scenery made her satisfied.

"This is the big city! A bustling city filled with people! Over there is a convenience store. It's completely different from Itomori. It takes at least half an hour to get to the nearest supermarket from home. Here, there are convenience stores everywhere!"

Looking at the environment she could see with emotion, and looking at the vending machine standing at the corner of the street, Mitsuha couldn't help but think of the only one in her town, the place that she and Sayaka treated as a coffee shop. Comparing it with the scenery in front of her, her eyes gradually became blurred.

“This is the big city…”

After a moment's silence, Sanye calmed down and walked into the house wearily. She looked at her mother who was standing in front of the refrigerator, staring at something inside, and then she looked at her brother who was sitting at the desk.

"Isn't the room a little too small? Do I have to sleep with you tonight? I don't want to!"

"Well, I'm sorry, there's only one bed here, so you and I can only sleep on the floor."

"Damn it... Hey, you should have a part-time job, right? Since you have an income, why not just book a room for Mom and me in a high-end hotel with a view of the coast? Ah~ Holding a glass of wine at night, looking at the night view of the beach in the big city..."

Looking at Sanye who was immersed in her own fantasy with her hands clasped in front of him, Xianren couldn't bear to break her sweet dream. He stood up from the desk, walked to his mother's side, and looked at the refrigerator.

"What's wrong?"

"Ok?"

Looking back at her son beside her, Miyamizu Futaba smiled slightly.

"I want to see if you pay attention to the combination of ingredients and the health of your diet. Although I know that you are different from Sanye and pay attention to nutritional balance on a daily basis, I am still a little worried about you living alone. I wonder if you will choose those simple dishes because of school."

"Instant noodles?"

"Well, there are others. Life in a big city is convenient, but it's also easy to lose yourself."

If an ordinary young boy came from the countryside to such a prosperous city, it would be easy for him to lose himself. However, the wise man, who had lived here for more than ten years, was naturally different from those young boys.

"I don't always have time to prepare my own meals on weekdays, so I often go to Setsuna's house."

"It seems like you have a good relationship with her. I remember you said Setsuna...she comes from a single-parent family?"

"Well, they're not married. It's just Setsuna and her mother, Mai-san. They live together in the apartment across the street."

Looking in the direction of the Kiyoura family's apartment, Miyamizu Futaba also looked towards the balcony. She was not sure which one was the Kiyoura family, but after hearing what Xianren said, Miyamizu Futaba felt that it was indeed necessary for her to go and thank the other party.

Putting aside the emotional issues between the two children, even as neighbors, it is necessary to meet each other.

"Then, besides the Qingpu family, are the neighbors on both sides communicating well?"

Hearing his mother's question, Xianren was stunned and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face. He was struggling and didn't know how to answer.

Under Miyamizu Futaba's gaze, he still answered the question.

"Although I have thought about managing my relationship with my neighbors, the guy next door is rarely at home because of work. He leaves home early and comes home late every day. I haven't met him yet or said hello to him yet."

"Even on holidays?"

"The other party doesn't seem to have any vacation time."

After thinking about it, he realized that not only today, but also in his memories of living here, he had little interaction with the person next door, and the number of times they had met was also very few.

Miyamizu Futaba was a little surprised to hear the answer from the wise man, but she soon stopped talking about the topic of neighbors. She believed that with her son's personality and ability, he could handle general neighborhood relationships well.

The room suddenly became quiet. Seeing that her brother ignored her, Sanye lay down on Xianren's bed, staring at the ceiling above her head. She thought about what she should do in Tokyo during this period of time. She had already listed it in her notebook, but she was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring it with her.

Now I can only barely remember part of it. Most of it was written down on a whim, and I have forgotten the specific content.
