I won't be a loser.

"Freshman of high school."

"High school students~ That's great~"

After staring at Mitsuha for a while, Fujiwara Momoka couldn't help but sigh, and her mood became complicated. Thinking of her high school days, and then looking at the energetic female high school students in front of her, she felt quite emotional about the passing of time.

"Ms. Fujiwara, did you also go to school in Tokyo?"

"Hmm? No, I went to school in my hometown, but I went to junior college in Tokyo and then started working."

"Junior college?"

After staring at Mitsuha for a while, Fujiwara Momoka felt that her personality was completely different from her brother's. She was a little surprised for a moment, but still nodded and talked about her own things.

"Because other universities have very high tuition fees, but at a junior college, you can study for a little bit and then start working right away."

“This… this.”

Mitsuha nodded as if she understood, while Kousaka Iori glanced at Kento who seemed to be busy, and then looked at Mitsuha who was sitting next to her.

"Are you living with other family members now?"

"No, I live alone in Tokyo now. My family isn't in Tokyo either. My parents are both in Itomori, Gifu. My brother went to Tokyo to study first, and then I followed him to Tokyo... It was originally like that, but now I'm alone in Tokyo."

When talking about her own affairs, Mitsuha was not alert at all for a moment and took the initiative to reveal her family situation, which made Fujiwara Momoka feel a little surprised in her heart while understanding it.

"Aren't all your family members in Tokyo?"

"It's just me and... well, well, it's not just me and my brother. Others, like my brother's other friends and some relatives, all live in Tokyo. They usually take care of me and live quite close to me."

Suddenly realizing that she seemed to have revealed a lot, Mitsuha couldn't help but look flustered and hurriedly concealed her life in Tokyo, while Fujiwara Momoka nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Oh, I see. My whole family is back home, but I'm the only one living in Tokyo. By the way, Kosaka, you live alone too, right?"

"Ah."

Kousaka Iori responded casually.

"Last time, there was... one more person, right?"

"I went out shopping, but I should be back soon."

"That's it..."

Sanye nodded, not knowing what to talk about with the other party. She felt a little complicated for a moment and felt a little restless. When she looked at her brother, she found that he was preparing the ingredients for dinner.

Chiba New Story: 425. Laughing, crying, humans are emotional creatures

Mitsuha was asked to go back to Tokyo, but she was unwilling and wanted to go back tomorrow. Xianren couldn't persuade her, so he had to clean up his room and let Mitsuha sleep in his room tonight, while Xianren himself prepared to rest in the living room.

The sofa can be adjusted automatically, and with a slight modification, it can be used as a bed for rest.

But just as he was standing in the bedroom, preparing to take the bedding and leave the bedroom to go to the living room, Sanye entered the bedroom and locked the door.

Xianren, holding the quilt, looked at Sanye who was blocking the door, slowly opened his mouth, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You're not a child anymore. Sleep by yourself and don't block the door."

"I'll sleep downstairs today. You'll have to tidy it up and move it upstairs tomorrow when I get back. Isn't that troublesome?"

"Then you should think about why I need to do this troublesome thing."

It was quite troublesome to hold the bedding all the time, so he walked to the edge of the bed, held the quilt and threw it on the bed, walked in front of Sanye, stretched out his hand, placed it on her head, and stroked it back. When Sanye's eyes became complicated, he patted her lightly to the side, and Sanye was pushed away.

"Don't think about those messy things. Just have a good rest by yourself. Go to bed early and go back early tomorrow."

Xianren unlocked the door, picked up the quilt again, and without paying much attention to his sister, walked out of the bedroom and headed towards the stairs, leaving Sanye standing silently in the room, with her back against the wall, and slowly sat down on the floor...

Looking at Xianren who came down from upstairs, started working on the sofa and spread the quilt, and Ji Noyori who was still resting in the living room, his eyes were a little subtle.

"Aren't you going to sleep in your room?"

"Leave it to Mitsuha."

"Aren't they brother and sister? It's okay if they live in the same room, right?"

Ji Naiyi was even more confused. The relationship between the two was siblings, so it was normal for them to sleep in the same room. However, the wise man who came to the living room to rest made Ji Naiyi even more confused.

"Hmm? It seems so, but it's already down, so let it be."

With an expression of 'sudden realization' on her face, she nodded slightly. Looking at Xianren's perfunctory answer, Ji Naiyi felt that there seemed to be some reason behind it, but she couldn't guess it for a moment. Looking at Xianren making the quilt, she didn't say anything more and sat aside to watch the program being played.

"I like Lu Jun, but my old friend confessed to him first, and they are dating now."

"So, the reason you don't want to go to school now is because of this friend who betrayed you?"

"We're not friends anymore. I was obviously the one who liked him first and discovered his strengths first, but... I didn't expect that after I told her, she would actually—"

I made a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table next to the sofa, then looked at the TV series playing on it. The plot was quite interesting. It seemed that a girl took a leave of absence and didn't want to go to school because of love problems and betrayal by friends.

However, the person who did the bad thing was her friend, but she bore all the sadness alone and hid in her room for a long time.

"Is this a way of punishing yourself to make the person who hurt you feel regret and guilt?"

"what?"

Jinoi Geng, who had just turned his attention back to the TV series, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xianren beside him after hearing Xianren's words.

"No, it's nothing."

After a moment of silence, Xianren shook his head slightly and did not continue watching TV. Instead, he lay down on the sofa and waited quietly for the other people in the bathroom to come out. Once they came out, he could go to the bathroom.

"..."

Jinai Yigeng, who did not get the answer he wanted, glanced at Xianren, slowly came to his side, and approached Xianren's side.

His eyes fell on Ji Nai Yi Geng, and Xian Ren moved his position slightly to keep some distance from the other party.

"what's up?"

"Um... I want to know, um, Miyamizu-kun, are you planning on just making games?"

Looking sideways at Ji Nai Yi Geng, Xian Ren was a little confused and didn't know what she meant.

"Actually, games can be made into animations. For example, if it's just one or two episodes, the production cost isn't that high. If the DVDs are sold, we can also generate some revenue. We can also release related peripheral products..."

Xianren, who originally didn't understand what Ji Naiyi meant, understood what she wanted to say after hearing the "animation". He couldn't help but frowned slightly and started to think seriously.

"Has your club ever produced animation before?"

Seeing that the wise man seemed interested, Ji Naiyi nodded repeatedly.

"I once produced an animation, and the total investment was around 600 million yen. Although the sales were not very high, it barely broke even. As long as there is enough publicity and a lot of animation, it is actually very easy to make a profit."

"But your club was still disbanded."

"..."

Ji Naiyi was speechless for a moment, while the wise man waved his hand slightly.

"I understand the general situation. I will first learn more about this matter and then consider it. It's getting late, so you should go to bed early."

"Um... um."

Jinai Yigeng, who was about to say something, felt a little depressed when he saw Xianren, who didn't even look up at him. He quietly left the living room and went back to his bedroom. The other people greeted Xianren when entering and leaving the bathroom, but didn't exchange any more words. After leaving the bathroom, they went back to their respective bedrooms. Xianren was the last one left, and he went into the bathroom alone...

When I sent Mitsuye back to Tokyo in the morning, her eyes were a little red. I bought a pair of sunglasses on the way and put them on her face. Mitsuye stared at Xianren for a while under the sunglasses, without saying a word, and then returned to Tokyo.

Kento, who stayed in Chiba, took the time to call Eriri Sawamura.

"what's the matter?"

"Why don't you make animation?"

"what?"

"The comics you draw are very popular at comic conventions. Why don't you make them into animations and release them?"

Sawamura Eriri, who originally thought that Kento was calling her and was still a little expectant, suddenly wanted to hang up after hearing his words. She couldn't help but sigh and had no interest in answering this question at all.

"Why make it into an animation? High-quality animations are expensive to produce. Those low-quality ones are just a waste of your energy. Your hard-earned work is being made into a low-quality animation. It's like your hard-earned work being remade into a live-action drama, only to be starred by a few awful idols who can only say a few lines with a cold face. Would you be happy with that?"

The example was vivid and figurative. Just by imagining it in his mind, he felt an inexplicable chill.

"But we still have to consider the actual situation and see how much royalties he is willing to pay for remaking my work."

"..."

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Xianren's answer, she was not surprised at all. It was an expected answer. She wanted to ask about Xianren's life in Chiba, but found that she couldn't ask anything.

"Nothing, I'll continue doing my own thing."

"Ah."

After the call ended, I got an answer, and I understood some things about animation production. The cost is relatively low, but as long as the publicity is in place, the profit can be considerable.

The only problem is that the current club doesn't have any special reputation.

"Let's just keep making the game. After it's released, I'll contact some famous bloggers and have them promote it. Once it's gained some popularity..."

Marketing.

When the time comes, Yuanye Ningning will still be responsible for these matters.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Mitsuha left Chiba and took all the bedding from last night back to his original bedroom.

When I was sitting quietly on the sofa alone, I suddenly felt empty inside. For some unknown reason, I felt that the whole world became quiet. I stared at the coffee table in the living room, the cabinet standing by the window, and the slightly fluttering curtains.

"It's... spring now, not summer yet. So I've gone back to summer, right?"

My mind recalled that I had been drowsy and lying on the floor. The past days that I had recalled countless times in my mind were now right in front of me, but my heart no longer had the deep throbbing I had when I was lying in the dim room.

The greatest regret of a person is that youth and the feeling of youth cannot coexist.

I had some vague thoughts in my mind, but I felt that I shouldn't do what I wanted now. Once I was shackled, everything I did became unbearable, just like being locked in a ball cage and then thrown into a swamp. My whole body could not adapt, and every breath was so painful and torturous.

'To live in this world, you must learn to be patient.' He didn't know when this sentence had been engraved in his heart, but it never made his life easy.

When faced with some things, he couldn't restrain himself, for some he tried his best to restrain himself, and for many more he had to restrain himself.

"This kind of life..."

He stood up from the sofa and walked quickly towards his bedroom.

It took two hours for Xianren to return to Tokyo from Chiba. He carefully selected a bouquet of roses in Tokyo and walked slowly on the street, with his head raised, step by step, until he arrived at the door of Sawamura's house.

Xianren took a deep breath to calm himself, stretched out his hand, and his finger fell on the doorbell. After hesitating for a moment, he pressed it with his eyes closed.

Ding, Dong——

The sound rang out in the living room. Sayuri Sawamura was sitting in the living room with nothing to do, watching the TV series. She was a little surprised when she heard the doorbell suddenly ring.

She remembered that she hadn't bought any express deliveries during this period, nor had she received any orders from customers?

When she walked to the door and looked at the surveillance camera at the entrance of her manor, she found that it was an acquaintance standing at the door with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. She blinked in surprise. Sayuri Sawamura looked in the direction of her daughter's bedroom, smiled, opened the door in front of her, walked out of the mansion, and came to the door of the manor.

The wise man who was waiting at the door also noticed Sayuri Sawamura walking out of the mansion.

The pink and beige dress with black and white splicing prints gave Sayuri Sawamura a uniquely slender and graceful demeanor. She walked in front of Kento and stopped. His eyes were filled with an inexplicable fascination. It was not until Sayuri Sawamura noticed that something was wrong with him and spoke to wake him up that Kento, who was standing at the door, came back to his senses.

"Looking for Eriri?"

"No, I didn't come here today for Eriri, it's just... this, for you."

Sayuri Sawamura came to the door, opened the gate of the manor, and prepared to invite Xianren in, but when she asked casually, she unexpectedly got an unexpected answer. She was ready to turn around and go back into the mansion, but after hearing Xianren's words, she was stunned.

Looking at the bouquet of flowers the young man handed to her, she blinked blankly, completely unable to sort out the logic and thoughts of the wise man giving her flowers. The bright red roses were handed to her just like that.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her hands and took the rose handed to her by the other party. Sayuri Sawamura slowly raised her head and looked at the wise man in front of her, feeling a little confused.

"Um...Miyamizu-kun, did you make a mistake? This bouquet of flowers should be for Eriri, but you just said it wrong, right?"

It is a confirmation and also a comfort, hoping that the person in front of me can follow what I said and admit that it was just a slip of the tongue.

But the wise man's expression seemed very calm.

"No, these are flowers for you."

If the gift from years ago was given to herself now, Sayuri Sawamura's expression seemed a little subtle. No one had given her flowers for a long time, and she didn't expect that someone would give her a bouquet of flowers now, but the identity of the person was the one her daughter liked.

She wanted to scold the other person, but looking at the wise man in front of her, his face did not show any joy or expectation at all, but was filled with deep melancholy and sadness, which made Sayuri Sawamura a little confused.

"...Hmm, I see. Is this the King game with your friends? Is this the punishment for the game?"
