I won't be a loser.

When the food I ordered was served on the table and I was about to eat——

“Wow! Wow—”

Some discordant sounds came from a direction not far in front of him. Xianren did not look up, because he knew very well what had happened. He sighed, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and listened to the clerk who came over quickly, apologized to others, and cleaned up the environment in the store.

It is still a little difficult to adapt to such an environment.

After sitting there dejectedly for a while, and reluctantly putting the food he ordered into his mouth and stomach, Xian slowly stood up, looked at the surrounding environment, paid the bill and left the izakaya.

Of course, when he left the izakaya, he was still careful to avoid the wet floor and left the izakaya quietly.

Just as he walked out of the izakaya, he saw a man standing near the izakaya, fertilizing the flowers and plants. He glanced at him and calmly looked in another direction.

'Let's go back. ’

After taking a walk outside, Xianren came to the conclusion that his apartment was better. He relaxed like this, and his mood improved a little.

On the way back to my apartment, I bought some drinks and some snacks.

He himself is not very interested in snacks, but during the time he lived in Tokyo with Mitsuha and Yotsuha, he was reminded of some of his childhood memories and became quite interested in some desserts.

Marshmallows, cola candies, chocolate chips...

Carrying the plastic bag, on the way back to his apartment, Xianren passed the intersection he came from and saw the girl squatting under the street light. He stopped.

"Ah...that just now."

The girl also saw the boy who appeared in front of her. Facing the boy's indifferent eyes at this moment, she still smiled, supporting her cheek with one hand, looking at the boy who suddenly stopped.

"Are you ready to go home?"

"Didn't you leave with that man just now?"

"It seems that because of your appearance, they were worried about bad rumors, so they didn't agree and rejected me."

"That's really sad news."

"So, are you ready to go home now?"

“I have made this preparation.”

"Hey~ Let's go home. Can I go back with you?"

"My girlfriend lives next door to me, and she doesn't really care about these things, but I'm a bit of a mysophobe myself."

Looking at the girl squatting under the street light, Xianren did not have a good expression. He was not a simple virgin boy, so he was not so anxious when he saw a girl.

"Mental mysophobia?"

A confused expression appeared on the girl's face. After thinking for a while, she said, "I see."

"I'm still a virgin for now."

“It’s hard to be convincing.”

"The uncle before was alone, and now you are the second person I need help with."

The wise man, carrying a plastic bag, walked up to the girl, slowly squatted down, and faced the girl.

The wise man originally wanted to go home, but he didn't know what to do when he got home. He looked at the girl in front of him, squatted down, looked into the girl's eyes, and looked at each other quietly.

"Aren't you going home?"

"My home is a little far away. I finally managed to escape from my family. I don't want to go home anymore."

"Yes, there is a slight accent. It sounds a bit like the dialect in Hokkaido."

"Are you also from Hokkaido?"

After hearing the word "Hokkaido" from Xian's mouth, the girl's eyes couldn't help but evade for a moment. She looked at the boy in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and slowly asked.

"No, it's just someone I knew. He used to be from Hokkaido, but later came to Tokyo for work. Well, it's been a long time since we last met."

"There's something adult about the way you talk."

"Why did you leave home?"

"No one would leave their home without a reason, right? Since I chose to leave home, I must have my own reasons, and they are things that need to be kept secret from others."

"So, what are your future goals?"

"what?"

"If I leave my home, what will be my future goals? How will I live alone?"

"do not know."

He gave the answer with a smile, and looking at the girl's smile, he couldn't help but sigh...

"This is where you live. I thought you lived with your family, but I didn't expect you to live alone?"

He opened the door and entered his room, turned on the light in the room, put the plastic bag on the table, and closed the door. At the same time, another girl who followed him back home was looking at the environment in the house with surprise.

He unbuttoned his shirt, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and watched the girl gradually turn her gaze towards him. He poured another cup and placed it on the kitchen counter. The girl came over, took the cup, and said thank you.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the wise man stared at her for a moment.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"name."

"Ah, come to think of it, I haven't told you my name yet. Ogiwara Sayu. You can just call me Sayu."

"Miyamizu."

"Where's your full name?"

"Just call me Miyamizu."

"Hey, I told you my name, and you only told me half of it?"

"Miyamizu Kento, just call me Miyamizu."

"Miyamizu Kento? Okay, I remember that. So, Miyamizu, do you want to start?"

The girl picked up the teacup, took a sip, and after putting down the cup, she looked at the wise man in front of her with a smile. Her eyes, which had been bright before, became a little dim, and she looked at the boy in front of her with a faint smile.

Looking at the girl in front of him, staring at her carefully for a while, the wise man picked up the teacup in front of him again.

"What's in that little bag of yours?"

"Ok?"

Following Kento's gaze, she looked at the backpack behind her. Ogiwara Sayu was a little surprised, but she still took off her bag from behind her, held it in her arms, opened her backpack, and showed some of the things inside to the boy in front of her.

"It's probably just some everyday things you might need, like a student ID and some daily clothes. Inside this is my little savings. Do you need it?"

Picking up a small wallet, Ogiwara Sayu looked at the boy in front of her, and Kento looked at the small wallet.

Compared to the wallet in the other person's hand, he was more interested in the clothes in the bag, and he was a little concerned about what type of person the girl was.

"Go to the bathroom first, and remember to put your clothes in the clothes rack."

After the wise man finished speaking, he walked to his desk, turned on his computer, and began to create a new document.

Looking at the wise man sitting at the desk, the girl showed a confused expression on her face. She was silent for a moment, pursed her lips, slowly closed her bag, put it in the living room, and then went into the bathroom.

"Um, which one is hot water and which one is cold water?"

But not long after entering the bathroom, he poked his head out again and asked into the living room.

The wise man answered without even turning his head.

"Is hot water on the left and cold water on the right? I remember that!"

The bathroom door was closed again, and Xianren stared at the blank document in front of him and began to think about how to write.

Instead of thinking about what type of work the market will like, it is better to think more about what type of work you want to write. My previous works can be regarded as self-indulgence, but I still considered other factors too much.

When he was almost halfway through, he didn't know how to continue writing. Now that he suddenly met the girl, he had some new ideas.

The wise man sat at the desk, thinking about the problem and the content. After half an hour, he heard the bathroom door opening, a "whoosh" sound, and the sound of footsteps slowly coming into the living room.

I casually saved what I had written, and when I looked back, I was surprised by the scene I saw.

"Where are your clothes?"

Looking at the girl who was only wearing a bath towel, Xianren was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses, looked at the girl in front of him, and began to ask.

"I didn't take it in. Besides, wouldn't it be troublesome if there were clothes next? No, are you the type who likes that?"

An embarrassed expression appeared on the girl's face, and she seemed a little conflicted.

"But I don't have many clothes left. If those that are damaged, I won't have anything to wear."

He stood up, walked to the wardrobe, took out a shirt of his own from the drawer, and some clothes that were originally reserved for Saionji Sekai but had not been used much until now, and put them on the table in the living room.

"It's useless for now, so put these on."

"Your girlfriend's clothes?"

But seeing that Kento remained silent, Ogiwara Sayu did not ask any further questions. She silently put on the clothes that Kento took out, and then looked at the boy in front of her.

"so?"

"That's it, do you have anything else to do?"

"Ok?"

"Then rest."

After turning off the lights, the wise man walked to the edge of his bed, and the girl hesitated for a moment, looking at the boy lying on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him...

The wise man woke up to the urgent ringing of the bell and looked at the dim sky outside the window. It was not yet dawn and he didn't know who it was.

He looked down at the girl nestled in his arms.

Not awake yet.

He sat up from the bed, found his clothes, put them on, then went to the door, opened it, and saw the person standing at the door, frantically ringing his doorbell.

"You know, generally speaking, your behavior is considered disturbing the public."

"It's already five o'clock, time to go to the venue!"

The girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails stared at the boy in front of her with some dissatisfaction. She knew that her behavior was a bit excessive, but if she didn't wake up Xianren now, it would be too late to make all the preparations before the exhibition started.

"I understand. Wait at the door for a while."

"You have in your room—"

Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of a door closing with a bang. Ying Lili bit her lip, turned her head away from the door, went downstairs, and went to her mother's car on the side of the road.

"Your girlfriend?"

Ogiwara Sayu, who was lying on the bed, looked at Xianren who had returned to the room, opened her hazy eyes, and asked.

"No, I'm just a troublesome guy. I have something to do today, so I probably won't be back until tonight. If you're ready to leave, you can leave on your own and remember to close the door. If you're ready to stay, you can call this number if you need anything."

Leaving a note on the table, Xianren pointed to his refrigerator.

"There are some ingredients and other food and drinks in the refrigerator. If you need them, please help yourself. I'm leaving now."

After putting on his clothes and leaving his instructions, the wise man hurriedly left the room, not forgetting to close and lock the door before leaving.

The girl lying on the bed didn't need to get up. She looked towards the door, closed her eyes, and fell into a long sleep...

When the summer cicadas chirp: 246. His and her moods have nothing to do with her

From coming out of my room to getting into Sayuri Sawamura's car.

Looking at Eriri who was sitting next to him with an unhappy look on her face, Kento didn't care much. He greeted Sayuri Sawamura, and the car started steadily and drove towards the exhibition venue.

On the way, Sayuri Sawamura, out of her inner curiosity, also asked some questions related to Kento himself.

Regarding some topics that should have been clear to both parties but were now being asked, the wise man did not show much reaction, but just responded calmly.

Eriri was a little depressed at first, but after hearing the questions asked by her mother and the answers given by Kento, she couldn't help but look at Kento beside her from the car window. Noticing Kento's calm eyes and reaction, she felt a little melancholy in her heart.

The quiet car drove to the vicinity of the venue and stopped in the parking lot. After Kento got out of the car, he and Sayuri Sawamura moved the doujinshi onto the cart. The two entered the venue, while Eriri wore a hat and a mask, tied up her long hair, and followed quietly behind the two.

In the entire venue, there were only the sellers of various doujinshi at the moment. Everyone was standing quietly in the exhibition hall, waiting for the moment to open.
