I won't be a loser.

"Eh?"

"That girl, if I ignore her and don't show up in front of her, given her personality, she'll probably call me every day and harass me, asking questions like 'Why are you home?' and 'When will you take me to Tokyo?' So to save on phone bills, it's better to go home early."

After hearing what Xianren said, Shanna thought about the character that Mitsuha showed when he met her, and it seemed that it was not that excessive. But thinking about the relationship between Xianren and Mitsuha, it seemed that it was not impossible. Compared to her who he had only met once, the Mitsuha in front of Xianren was the real her.

"Mitsuha, I really like Xianren."

"Like... doesn't necessarily mean she likes me, but more likely she likes Tokyo."

It was a joking answer. Thinking of the browsing history in his computer last time, Xianren did not show too much enthusiasm, so as to avoid the girl sitting in his arms at the moment from misunderstanding him.

The two chatted about the itinerary and plans for the summer holiday, and asked Setsuna to pack up the daily necessities he would need tomorrow afternoon. On the 25th, they would prepare to take the morning Shinkansen directly back to Gifu, and then transfer to Itomori. In this way, they would probably arrive before dark.

"Wouldn't it be a bit lonely if it was just the two of us?"

"Ask your mother to take leave too, shall we?"

"No, I mean, she's all alone in the world. Wouldn't she get lonely staying in Tokyo?"

Staring into Kento's eyes, a slightly sensitive name came out of Setsuna's mouth. Kento was not going to mention the Saionji world to Setsuna, but he did not expect Setsuna to take the initiative to say her name. After hearing Setsuna's words, Kento kept smiling, seemingly unaffected.

"Are you going to call her?"

"I don't know what the world thinks, so I don't know whether to invite her along."

"You can call her over and ask her what she thinks."

"Have you ever thought about this, sage?"

"I did think about it, but I didn't think it was appropriate, so I didn't bring it up with you. Well, she didn't talk about it with the world either."

No matter how many times he looks into the girl's clear and lively eyes, he can't help but be fascinated by them.

"I see. Then, ask the world."

With a slender and petite body, she sat on Xianren's body. Setsuna leaned over and picked up her cell phone from the desk. After flipping through the contact directory, she found the contact information of Shijie and dialed the other party's number.

In the dim room, although she was awake, Sekai Saionji was still lying on her bed, with her arms around the thin quilt, wanting to hug the man, but the man was not beside her now, and might be being intimate with her close friend. Thinking of this, she became even more depressed.

"It seems like he'll be in Gifu for more than two weeks, which is almost half of his vacation. I wonder if he'll have time when he returns to Tokyo..."

The depressed mood made Saionji Sekai want to complain, but she didn't know how to complain. She tossed and turned in her bed. Her painful heart was like melted ice cream, making her feel empty and stuffy.

"Is it true that we have no choice but to look for Kuroda?"

Nanami Kanroji has to participate in basketball team training and has little time. Kuroda Hikaru has nothing to do during the vacation and is the only person who can accompany Saionji Sekai. Originally, there was also Kotonoha Katsura, but she seems to be with her sister, taking some flower arrangement and kendo classes.

Apart from feeling that the other party was worthy of being a young lady, Saionji Sekai had no other thoughts.

"I don't know when I'll leave Tokyo. I think I should still be in Tokyo during this period, right?"

Thinking about things related to Kento and Setsuna, Saionji Sekai's expression looked a little gloomy. She pressed her face against the pillow sullenly, with all kinds of tangled emotions and thoughts in her heart.

hum-

Buzz-buzz-

The cell phone under the pillow suddenly vibrated, causing Saionji Sekai, who was lying on the pillow, to raise her head involuntarily. She reached out her hand to grope under her pillow, picked up her cell phone, and saw the name displayed on it.

"moment"

Saionji Sekai, who was just thinking about some dark things and was full of entanglement and depression, couldn't help feeling guilty after seeing the call from her friend. She quickly sat up, pulled aside the curtains, and carefully answered the call from Setsuna.

"moment?"

"World, do you have time?"

"I have plenty of time. Isn't it vacation time? I didn't have much to do, so I was just lying in bed and resting."

"I'm with Xianren, in his apartment. Can you come over?"

Hearing Xianren's name and noticing that Setsuna was also with Xianren, Xiyuanji Sekai's heart couldn't help but beat a beat. His mind suddenly recalled what happened that day, and he couldn't help but ask.

"whats the matter?"

"Things related to summer vacation need to be discussed briefly."

"summer vacation......."

"above."

The other party hung up the phone, leaving Saionji Sekai who was still confused about what was going on. She pursed her lips and sat on her bed. Her mood became more and more depressed. She couldn't help but raise her left hand and ruffled her long hair. She got up from the bed silently and walked out of the room. She had to wash up before going out.

Although she didn't know what the matter was, but she was suddenly contacted at this time. She thought it was not a small matter. At least it was very important to her, otherwise she would not be asked to go to the sage.

She was a little hesitant in her heart, about her and Setsuna being together, and Xianren...

She scooped up some water and splashed it on her face, forcing herself to calm down. Saionji Sekai didn't think too much about it. She cleaned herself up, went back to her room, put on her clothes, then left her house and rushed towards Xianren's apartment.

"Is it really okay to just hang up the phone like this?"

"Since she doesn't want to come to the world, there's nothing we can do about it. It's just you and I who have to go to Itomori together."

It seems that Setsuna is not very willing, but for some reason, she still chooses to let Sekai accompany her to Itomori. In this regard, Xianren also understands that he actually knows nothing about girls' minds.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Xianren looked at Setsuna who was sitting on him and gently patted her side leg. The girl got up from him and walked towards the door.

"I was resting at home when I suddenly received a call. Is there something urgent?"

Standing at the door, Sekai Saionji, wearing a white dress, looked into the house. She saw Setsuna in front of her, wearing a light blue shirt by Kento, and then she saw a figure beyond Setsuna. Sekai Saionji entered the house. The cool air conditioning made her, who had been sweating all the way here, breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's the day after tomorrow. The wise man and I will go to Itomori."

"I know."

Watching Setsuna close the door, Saionji Sekai didn't know why she brought up this matter again. It felt like a repeated whipping of her, making her feel a little sour in her heart.

"Want to go together?"

After entering the house and seeing Xianren standing next to Sekai, he suddenly asked a question, which stunned Saionji Sekai, who was not mentally prepared at all.

“Eh?! Eh——?!!!”

"We were just discussing going out the day after tomorrow. Setsuna was worried that you might get bored staying in Tokyo alone, so she wanted to ask, Sekai, are you interested in going to Itomori?"

Hearing the surprised voice of Shijie, the virtuous man sitting in the chair also took a look at Shanshan, then set his gaze on Shijie, and asked about her attitude and thoughts with a smile.

"But... going to Itomori, aren't Setsuna and you the ones going to meet their parents? I..."

"It's nothing serious. I'm just going to Itomori for vacation. Tokyo's summers are too hot, and Itomori is surrounded by mountains, so the temperature is relatively cooler. I'm going to experience nature a bit. By mid-August, it's almost time to go back to Tokyo."

"Aunt Wu?"

"I will not take leave this year and will continue to work."

"Is that so... Then, am I okay with that?"

Saionji Sekai was still a little confused, not knowing how she was suddenly brought along. She felt a little subtle and complicated. She looked at Setsuna beside her, but Setsuna just lowered his head silently, walked to the balcony, and didn't know what he was doing.

"Of course it's okay. We have a spare guest room, but it's not usually used. Once you get there, you can just clean it up and move in."

"Is it really okay?"

After repeated confirmations and some sudden surprises, it was still hard for Saionji Sekai to believe.

"of course."

"Well, I... excuse me for disturbing you. Are we leaving the day after tomorrow?"

"Let's prepare tomorrow and leave the morning after tomorrow. We should be in Itomori around three or four in the afternoon."

"I understand. I'll make preparations when we get back."

"There's no need to rush. It's just right to prepare tomorrow afternoon."

After going outside, she returned to the room, pulled up the window, looked at Xianren, then looked at the somewhat helpless world, and quietly poured a cup of tea. She was a little thirsty after watching the video for such a long time.

"I was already prepared to spend this summer alone."

"Itomori isn't like Tokyo, with all the entertainment. One more person means more fun."

"It's a pity that Kotonoha has to attend other classes and can't go with us."

When he heard the name of Katsura Yanye, he couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the world, and then lowered his head silently. Maybe it would be better to have another Katsura Yanye.

"Well, it's not impossible, but it might be a bit crowded for three people to sleep in one room. But she needs to attend classes, so there's nothing we can do about it."

After confirming that Saionji Sekai would also participate and go to Itomori with the two, the three of them reconfirmed the matters regarding departure on the 25th, as well as some daily necessities needed to prepare for going to Itomori. After everything was confirmed, it was almost evening, and Saionji Sekai returned home first.

Kento and Setsuna went out to a nearby shopping street and bought some food ingredients, as well as some daily necessities that they could take back to Itomori.

Cherry Blossom Season: 214. Prepare in advance and head to Itomori

"Tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow, I want to go out."

At night, when Saionji Oko returned home, she sat on the sofa and waited for a while. When Saionji Sekai saw Saionji Oko entering the living room, she couldn't wait to tell her mother that she was going out.

Saionji Yuko, who had just returned home from the restaurant, had not yet relaxed when she suddenly heard her daughter say that she was going out. She could not help but turn sideways and look at the sofa.

"Suddenly...even if you're talking about going out, I don't have anything else to do. Are you planning a trip with Setsuna? Have you already decided on a destination?"

Even though she doesn't have much time to accompany her daughter, it doesn't mean that Saionji Yuko is indifferent to her daughter's affairs. On the contrary, she is also very concerned about the affairs of Saionji's world.

"I guess so. I'm traveling with Setsuna and Kento. His hometown is in Gifu Prefecture, in Hida... Itomori. It's a bit far from Tokyo, so I might have to stay there for a while."

"Xianren, his hometown, or with Setsuna, three people?"

"Ah."

After hearing what her daughter said, Saionji Yuko, who was originally a little concerned, felt a little relieved.

"If that's the case, then there won't be any problems if you're not traveling alone. If the three of us are traveling together, there shouldn't be any major problems. Are you in such a hurry to leave the day after tomorrow?"

"Ah."

I don't know how to tell my mother about this. She is not actually on the list of people on this trip, but because...

Thinking about what happened at that time, Saionji Sekai's heart was filled with complicated emotions, and she didn't know how to face Setsuna. According to Kento, Setsuna was worried that she was alone in Tokyo, so he invited her to go to a place called Itomori.

"I see. Remember to contact me when you leave the day after tomorrow. And don't forget to email me when you get there. I'm also a little curious about where that child lives."

"I'll contact you when we get there. Now, we need to get ready. Prepare your daily necessities tomorrow and we'll set off the morning after tomorrow."

"If your living expenses are not enough, remember to tell me."

"Ah."

"Then I'll go prepare dinner."

After talking with her daughter about the trip, some thoughts arose in Saionji Yuko's heart, but when the thoughts arose, she suppressed them by herself. She shook her head gently and silently prepared dinner.

As for Sekai Saionji, who was sitting on the sofa, she was looking at her mother's back as she prepared dinner. She slowly lowered her head and thought about how she should deal with this trip.

"Hyeon-jin's family seems to have two younger sisters... I wonder what their personalities are like, or if they're similar to Hyun-jin..."

The sudden trip left Saionji Sekai completely unprepared, and she began to silently prepare and plan for the trip.

Kiyoura Setsuna also returned home. When facing his mother, he was no different from usual. He did not tell his mother anything related to the world of Saionji. He returned home quietly and returned to his room quietly under the gaze of Kiyoura Mai.

Qing Pu Mai was standing in front of the kitchen counter, preparing dinner, staring at her daughter, depressed and not taking the initiative to speak.

It is not particularly uncommon for boys and girls who are dating to stay at each other's homes. However, after notifying them, there was still no response, leaving her alone to eat at home. This made Qingpu Mai feel a little lonely and dissatisfied.

Staring at her daughter's room dejectedly, Qingpu Mai couldn't help but sigh.

"Is it really better to be young?"

Thinking that her daughter would leave Tokyo with Kento and go to Kento's hometown in a while, Qingura Mai felt even more depressed.

Do you want to ask for leave?

I have already said that I will not go. If I ask for leave now and go with the two of them... Plus, I will have to face Kento's parents and family. When they talked about it last time, it seemed that Kento's grandmother also lived under the same roof with him, which made Qingpu Mai feel even more conflicted.

"Forget it, let the young people handle it themselves."

Qingpu Mai lowered her head silently and continued to prepare dinner.

When night fell, Xianren came to the Kiyoura family and chatted with Kiyoura Mai. He told her that they would leave Tokyo the day after tomorrow and go to Itomori. Kiyoura Mai couldn't help but be surprised.

"The day after tomorrow?! Are you in such a hurry?"
