I won't be a loser.

The wise man stared at the dinosaur skeleton model on the counter and was tempted to buy one, but he felt that the price was a bit expensive. It seemed that if he bought it, he would only be able to use it as a decoration and put it in his bedroom?

Rio Futaba, who was standing by, looked at Kento who was staring at the model in front of her, and she didn't know that Kento was actually interested in the model.

"You like models?"

"I wouldn't say I like it, but I just get interested when I see something new and interesting. Well, I kind of want this model, but it feels a bit useless and not very practical."

The price was definitely within his reach, but he still maintained his usual pragmatism. Especially after he bought it and placed it in his bedroom, he felt particularly conflicted about the fact that it not only allowed him to look at it but also took up a lot of space.

If it was at the beginning, when his room was still very empty, he wouldn't mind buying it, but now the room has gradually become fuller, and it feels like there is no place to put the things after buying them.

"Let's look at something else."

After staring at the model on the counter for a while, Xianren chose to give up. Futaba Rio stared at the model on the counter carefully for a while, and followed Xianren to other places.

"Do you have any books you want to buy?"

"Not yet. If I see any books that interest me later, I will buy them myself."

"Are you interested in ore?"

"generally."

"I see. I thought you'd say you were interested—ah, souvenir capsule toys, with miniature figures of 'Maneki Neko' and 'Castle Tower' inside? 400 yen a pop, doesn't seem too expensive."

Looking like a little kid, he suddenly came to the gashapon machine and stared at the mini models inside. Kento seemed very interested, and Futaba Rio was a little helpless.

"Want to smoke?"

"Forget it, there's no point in smoking."

Just like before, after staring at her for a while, Xianren shook his head. He had no hesitation when buying clothes for her, but when he saw something that interested her, her restrained reaction made Futaba Rio feel subtly complicated.

"I want to draw one."

"Want to smoke this?"

Looking at the gashapon machine in front of him, Xianren, who was about to leave, felt a little surprised after hearing what Futaba Rio said.

"Ah."

Taking out a delicate and small wallet, Futaba Rio took out a coin from it, put it in, and twisted it.

Click——

A capsule toy rolled out, and after taking it out, Futaba Rio handed it to Xianren.

"You can tell, there's a torii gate inside?"

Looking at the red mini torii inside, he thought it was a lucky cat, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful. He stared at it for a while and then casually stuffed it into Futaba Rio's backpack.

"Well, that's a pretty good result."

Another year begins to sprout: 306. It is difficult not to have wisdom teeth

In the afternoon, the two of them read the books they bought in a cafe. In the evening, they went to a restaurant for dinner. Around nine o'clock in the evening, the two of them returned to the "coffee shop". When they entered the house, they saw Machida Sonoko and Fuuka Mari who had already taken a bath and were wearing pajamas to rest.

"Oh, welcome back~"

"We're back, time to rest?"

"After all, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm going to bed first."

When Machida Sonoko saw the two people coming back, she smiled and waved her hand, then walked towards the bedroom.

"Good night."

After putting the books and other daily necessities they bought into the bedroom, they returned to the living room and prepared to take a shower in the bathroom. It was already nine o'clock, and it was almost time to rest.

In order to save time, Kento went into the bathroom with Futaba Rio.

When they came out of the bathroom, both of their faces were red. A strand of hair was stuck to the corner of Futaba Rio's mouth. She followed Xianren back to the bedroom and lay down to rest.

Futaba Rio didn't like white stockings, but she couldn't resist Kento's liking for them. After hesitating in the bedroom for a long time, she finally put on the velvet silky white stockings silently. She returned to the living room and just sat down when Kento lay sideways on her legs.

"...Do you like it that much?"

"I don't know whether I like silk stockings or white silk stockings, or if it's just a reflection of some inner symbolism."

Picking up the book "Strings of the Universe" again, Futaba Rio no longer paid attention to Kento, and continued reading silently from the page with the label. Kento lay on her, closed his eyes, and felt satisfied in his heart.

This went on for an hour. At around nine o'clock, a sudden phone call forced Xianren to open his eyes.

He raised his head temporarily, got off Futaba Rio's legs, sat aside, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and saw a call from Kiyoura Setsuna.

Glancing at Rio Futaba beside him, the girl reading a book didn't seem to care.

"moment?"

"Are you free now, sage?"

"With friends, what's going on?"

"...I want to go to the hospital. Xianren, do you...have time?"

"Are you at home now?"

"Ah."

"I see. Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Xianren looked at Futaba Rio beside him. The girl's eyes moved away from the book and looked at Xianren beside her.

"Are you going back?"

"She seems unwell and needs to go to the hospital. I'll go with her first. If everything goes well, I'll be back in the afternoon or even tonight. Sorry."

"It's nothing. Since you are sick, you need someone to accompany you. You don't need to worry about me."

Looking at Futaba Rio's calm reaction and expression beside him, Xianren felt helpless. He hurried back to the bedroom, picked up his belongings, returned to the living room, and came to Futaba Rio.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going back?"

chirp——

The moment Futaba Rio raised her head, Xianren, who had lowered his head, kissed her face lightly and then left the living room.

"I am leaving."

Sitting in the living room, Futaba Rio watched Kento leave, her slender hand falling on the place where she was kissed, feeling a little surprised and a little melancholy.

After arriving at the subway station, he rushed back to the apartment without stopping at all and came to the door of Qingpu's house. When he opened the door, he saw Qingpu Setsuna sitting in the living room with his hands covering his cheeks.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Kiyoura Setsuna, covering her cheek, looked at the returning Kento, her expression and eyes looking like she was enduring pain.

"toothache."

"......"

Xianren pinched his eyebrows and felt helpless for a moment. He thought it was something very important, but he didn't expect it was because of a toothache.

Well, toothache is indeed very painful, and you do need to go to the hospital for treatment.

"Going right now?"

"Well, it started to hurt last night, but Mom had to go to work in the morning, so she didn't say anything."

When you get closer, you can see the dark circles under Qingpu Setsuna's eyes. It seems that he did not get enough rest last night. The expression on his face also became subtle. He walked silently and quietly to the girl.

"what--"

After hearing the wise man's words, the girl closed her eyes and opened her soft lips, revealing her white teeth and cherry-colored mouth.

I glanced in the direction where Setsuna was covering his face, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with his teeth.

"Okay, you, do you need anything to prepare? If not, how about we set off now?"

"Ah."

After confirming that there was no problem, I could go out directly. I took out my mobile phone, looked at the dental clinics on the map, confirmed it carefully, and read the reviews. I chose a clinic that looked better and set off with Setsuna.

It took about half an hour to get there, and when we arrived at the clinic and entered, we were greeted. Unlike Xianren's impression of crowded dental clinics, there were very few patients inside this clinic.

"Do we need to wait here?"

"There are eight patients scheduled for appointments today, all in the afternoon. Patients who come in the morning are generally rare."

"That's it."

I couldn't quite understand it, but seeing the painful expression on Shan'a's face, I thought it was a good thing to see the doctor as soon as possible, so I didn't think too much about it.

The doctor who came out was a very young and beautiful woman. She chatted with Setsuna for a while, understood the general situation, and then went into the treatment room with Setsuna, while Xianren waited outside.

"Tea, please."

"Thank you."

After waiting for about two hours, around noon, Setsuna walked out of the treatment room with a painful look on his face. Xianren looked at the doctor.

"Wait a moment, there's still medicine left to be prescribed."

"......"

"Tooth extraction?"

When he was unable to speak, his eyes became a little sad. After hearing the words of the wise man, he nodded slightly.

Looks like a wisdom tooth issue.

After confirming the medicine and precautions with the doctor, I returned home with Shanna at noon. In the future, I will have to pay close attention to her eating habits.

I called Qingpu Mai and told her that I was accompanying Setsuna to have a tooth pulled today. Qingpu Mai felt a little surprised and unexpected.

"Tooth extraction? I see. But tonight, I can't—"

"How about preparing some food that doesn't require chewing, like porridge?"

"Well, when I come back, I'll prepare it. Xianren, please help me cook the rice first."

"Okay, then let's do this first?"

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Xianren looked at the girl sitting on the sofa in the living room with a somewhat empty look in her eyes. It was the first time he saw the girl in such an expression. He sat down beside her and asked about her condition.

"Does it hurt?"

"Ah."

"It hurts?"

"Ah."

"Then bear with it for now, there's nothing I can do."

"......"

The two of them sat in the living room, looking at the TV in front of them, and clicked on the program. Looking at the content on the TV in front, for the time being, Kento could not go back to the 'Café' to see Futaba Rio, leaving Setsuna alone to endure the pain. He could not do such a wicked thing.

If you leave your girlfriend who is in unbearable pain behind and go somewhere else alone to meet another girlfriend, you have to think carefully about whether you can still be called a human being after doing such a thing.

"I told you, don't think you can get away with it so easily after doing something like this. Your girlfriend is probably screaming your name while enduring something pretty cruel right now."

"Xiangzi? Xiangzi?! What did you do to Xiangzi?!"

Snapped--

"You leaked the news and caused me such a huge loss. Do you think your girlfriend is the only one who will suffer? Hold him down!"

With the sound of belts being unbuckled, the scene turned to other characters.

The wise man was sitting in front of the TV, watching the drama in front of him. He didn't care at first, but as he saw the subtle development of the plot, he couldn't help but blink, and his mind fell into chaos.

When his gaze turned to the moment beside him, his eyes were still empty. It was obvious that he was not paying attention to the plot in the TV series. It seemed that he was in extraordinary pain. He sat quietly aside, quietly accompanying the girl.

The doctor’s advice was not to drink or eat for two hours. It’s only been about two hours now.

"It's almost two hours. Do you want some water?"
