I Won't Be a Loser

Recalling what happened earlier, the sage's expression became more subtle. Just a Kiyoura dance had no effect, but with another Xiyuan Temple dancer, he felt that he was almost like this. Even a young man has no energy. Not endless.

"Don't you hate it?"

"It's not annoying, what's the matter, is this what you care about?"

After giving the answer, looking at the world of Xiyuan Temple with a somewhat complicated mood in front of him, he probably understands the other person's mood a little bit, but the wise man really doesn't like Xiyuan Temple Odori.

It's just a relationship that has been met twice, and it's too superficial to just say what you like directly. Such a simple meeting twice, but the relationship is so deep, the sage doesn't know how to describe himself to Xiyuan Temple Odoriko's impression and attitude.

Seeing the awkward world of Xiyuan Temple in front of him, the sage moved his gaze slightly, recalled the meeting with Xiyuan Temple Ryoko, and then looked at the girl in front of him.

Even mother and daughter, there will be quite a big difference.

The purpose of Xiyuan Temple World looking for him is probably to understand the attitude of the sage towards Xiyuan Temple Tiaozi. Regarding this, the sage only expressed that he has no particularly disliked feeling towards Xiyuan Temple Tiaozi. As for liking it, then It certainly doesn't count.

After receiving this answer, Xiyuan Temple World fell into silence for a long time. The two of them finished their dinner in the restaurant, the sage settled the bill, and walked towards home together with Xiyuan Temple World.

First sent the world of Xiyuan Temple downstairs to her apartment, looking at the girl in front of him, the sage smiled.

"Then, I'll go back too."

"Come to my house and rest for a while?"

"Miss Yuezi is about to go home, I don't want to bother you, there are still some things to deal with, so I'll go back first."

Thinking of Xiyuan Temple Yuezi, facing the invitation of Xiyuan Temple World in front of him, the sage smiled and expressed his refusal. Looking at the regretful expression of Xiyuan Temple World, he watched her silently for a while, then turned and left …

"This question, and this question, I probably understand."

On Saturday, sitting in the restaurant with Nakano Wuyue, the sage looked in front of him and expressed his understanding of Wuyue, then looked down at what he just explained, did she understand one-fifth of the content?

He also sighed involuntarily from the bottom of his heart, but when he was about to sigh, he still held back, silently pressed his lips together, looked at the girl in front of him, and smiled slightly.

Looking at the sage who was smiling at her, Nakano Wuyue couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart, and silently turned her head away.

She also doesn't narcissistically think that the sage smiles at her because she likes her. After each explanation, she said that she only understood a small part, but she would see the other party showing such difficulties. And the helpless smile lasted for a long time, and it was inevitable that there would be some inexplicable shame in my heart.

"Then, what else is there that you don't understand?"

"this......"

Nakano Wuyue glanced at the sage in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and said what she didn't quite understand. The sage sitting opposite her looked at what she had just said, and then listened to Nakano Wuyue. If you don't understand, you will add some explanations.

It has been a while since the two of them met in the restaurant after school on Saturdays and tutored Nakano Wuyue's homework.

"Sorry, I keep asking you to help me like this, that, how about I ask you?"

From around 12:2 noon until [-]:[-] p.m., the two people who had been sitting in the restaurant barely finished tutoring Nakano Wuyue, the sage sat quietly on the seat, and Nakano Wuyue looked at the sage With a slumped expression, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart, and asked.

Waving his hand, the sage sighed, but still couldn't hold back.

"Let's stop here. I have other things to do. That's it. I'm going back."

"Um......"

I don't know what's the matter with the sage, seeing the sage who stood up like he was relieved, Nakano Wuyue couldn't help but lowered his head, looked at the table in front of him, thought of his recent progress in grades, and looked at it again. Looking like a sage who is suffering, he feels more and more indebted to the other party in his heart.

'If there is anything that can help the other party...'

Raising her head again, looking in the direction of the door, the sage had disappeared, Nakano Wuyue couldn't help but pursed her lips, and silently wrote it down in her heart...

Leaving the restaurant, the sage first went back to his apartment, took a rest in the apartment, stood on the balcony and watched the door on the opposite side closed tightly, he didn't know if Setsu was at home or with the world, but it wasn't very Wanting to contact the other party, he silently raised his head, glanced at the sun in the sky, then silently left his apartment, arrived at the nearby subway, and went to a familiar place.

Leaving the subway station, looking at the crowded streets full of pedestrians, the sage walked silently on the road, declined the invitation of some girls, walked into the manga cafe by himself, and sat down in a corner of the hall.

Poured a cup of self-service coffee, sat behind the corner, looked at the cup of coffee in front of him, the sage didn't know the difference between different kinds of coffee, stared at the coffee in front of him, thought carefully, the difference between different coffees After a while, I couldn't think of the difference again, so I stopped thinking.

Flipping through the comic book he had taken away, the sage who was sitting in the corner silently read the comics.

The time passed little by little, from arriving at around 3 pm, until 5 pm, 6 pm, and until 7 pm, but I didn’t see the familiar person. At 8 pm, the night was already deep Yes, after answering Qingpu Wu's phone call and Setsuna's message, when the sage was also considering whether he should go back, a familiar figure appeared at the door.

Seeing the girl's tired expression, the sage sitting in the corner looked at her quietly.

The girl who stepped into the store seemed to notice a familiar figure in the corner of her eyes in the blink of an eye, and turned her head to look in the direction she thought was an illusion. A familiar figure was sitting quietly in the corner just like that.

Looking at the sage sitting in the corner of the store with some surprise, the girl slowly came to him and sat down beside him.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Well, work?"

"Working in a restaurant, there are many customers from noon to afternoon."

Mito Yuka looked at the young man in front of her, and couldn't help but smile on her face. In a difficult life, only when she saw the boy in front of her, would she feel that life was not so painful and tortured, it was just so quiet Sitting next to him, I felt a lot more peaceful in my heart.

"What about dinner?"

"not yet."

"Let's go together."

"Ah."

The communication with Mito Yuka has always been quite brief, but it is different from the moment of communication. The sage doesn't know how to describe it, but when facing Mito Yuka, he always feels that he is Somewhere in the bottom of my heart is empty, it will be satisfied.

Mito Yuuka returned to her private room for the time being, and after putting away her things, she appeared in front of the sage again. The two left the manga coffee shop and sat down at other nearby restaurants. Come.

The two ordered different set meals respectively. Before sitting in the store and waiting for the cooking, the sage looked at the girl in front of him, looked at each other for a moment, took out an envelope from his pocket, and handed the envelope to the In front of the girl...

The Season of Cherry Blossoms: 180. All emotions, no skills

"This is?"

Looking at the envelope handed in front of him, Mito Yuka looked at the smiling face of the sage with puzzled and puzzled eyes, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and took the envelope handed to him by the other party .

But as soon as he held the envelope, Mito Yuuka couldn't help but subconsciously let go of the familiar feel when he pinched the envelope with his fingers, and retracted his slender and white hand all of a sudden, looking at him with a surprised expression. Smiling sage.

"Take it apart and take a look, and you'll know."

The sage put the envelope on the table, and gently handed it to the girl. The girl in the white shirt looked at the envelope in front of her, bit her lips lightly, with a tangled expression on her face.

Raising her head, she stared at the sage for a long time. Seeing the sage's unchanging smile, she silently lowered her head and took the envelope in front of her.

Gently opened the envelope, and saw the brand-new banknotes lying in the envelope, raised her head again, and looked at the sage in front of her, she was a little silent, silently closed the envelope again, and pushed it back in front of wise men.

"I can't take it."

"This income has something to do with you, so you don't need to feel that you shouldn't accept it for nothing. Accept it with peace of mind. This is the income you deserve."

Pushing the envelope back in front of Mito Yuka, looking at the puzzled look on the girl's face in front of him, the sage probably guessed that the girl might react like this, so, long before meeting, Think about your speech.

"A while ago, on the day I first met you, I felt confused because I didn't know what to do, but after I met you and heard your story, I had some inspiration, so I carried out Creation, these are the income of the work, not all, but only a part of it.”

Although I didn't carefully count how many there are, but based on Mito Yuka's rough estimate, there are at least nearly 20 yen in it, about [-] yen. Even if she works part-time every day, the monthly income is probably There may not necessarily be so many.

"But... even if that's the case."

"Speaking of which, without your consent, it is a bit too much to make use of your experience and create that work without your consent. I'm sorry."

Seeing the apologetic expression on the sage's face, Mito Yuka opened his mouth to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say, so he lowered his head silently, looking Landing on the envelope, after a long silence, she stretched out her hands.

She squeezed the envelope into her hands, lightly pinched the sides of the envelope with both hands, and looked at the envelope in her hand with a complicated expression on her face.

With such a sum of money, her nervous and embarrassing situation can be relieved at once, making her life a little more comfortable, but... she is really in awe of getting such a sum of money out of nowhere. Somewhat incomprehensible.

"what name?"

Mito Yuka was silent for a moment, then slowly turned her gaze to the boy in front of her, and asked.

"The name of the book?"

"Ah."

"A stigmatized angel."

Mito Yuka stood up and looked at the sage in front of her. She slowly walked from the seat to the sage, stretched out her hand, and handed it to the sage.

"Ok?"

"Let's take a stroll together, shall we?"

Looking at the small white hand that was handed to him, and then at the smiling expression on Mito Yuge's face, the sage was silent for a moment, then he also handed out his own hand, took Mito Yuge's hand, and gradually stood up. get up...

Walking out of the manga cafe, the two of them were walking on the street. Mito Yuka looked at the sage next to him from time to time, his eyes full of curiosity.

"I don't even know, so you are a writer."

"It's not really a writer. Even if it is a work, it's not that outstanding. It's just that there just happened to be a publishing house willing to publish it."

Looking at the surrounding street scene, the sage is now holding a pessimistic attitude towards the sales of his works. The initial confidence is gradually fading. I am afraid that even the sales of over [-] may not be guaranteed, so he walked silently on the street , Mito Yuka pursed her lips, looking at the sage whose interest suddenly became low, and didn't know how to comfort him.

"The bookstore over there, let's go and have a look together."

Kinokuniya Shinjuku main store, as one of the largest chain bookstores in the country, the main store of Kinokuniya is located in Shinjuku. Looking at the bookstore in front of him, the sage looked sideways at Mito Yuuka who was standing beside him. .

"There must be your work in it."

"I haven't been here, and I don't know very well, maybe there is."

As the largest bookstore in China, there are all kinds of books in it. Even if you have your own works, it is normal, but you don’t know where they will be placed. Your works should be classified as popular literature. , You can go to the popular literature section to browse.

Walking into the bookstore, the books on the first floor are all new books of the current period, as well as popular topical works. Sage and Yuka Mito stepped into the bookstore. Looking at the many customers in the store, the girl could not help approaching. Beside the sage, their arms touched lightly. The girl looked at the sage and suddenly laughed.

"......"

The sage who didn't quite understand where the smile was, looked at the girl's smile, but thought it was a little cute, so he smiled slightly, and started looking for it in the bookstore side by side.

"It's the first time I'm looking for my own book in the store like this."

Looking at the spacious and bright bookstore, and looking at all kinds of books around, the sage's mood is also slightly complicated.

I have written a lot of books before, but I seldom take the initiative to go to those bookstores, enter the corners of those salty and wet works, and find my own works. Basically, I click on the webpage directly on the Internet to read The number of sales and viewers of your own electronic version.

Even if it is the reader's impression, I just search the Internet briefly, but I rarely see topics related to my works.

Most people are quite cautious. Even on the accounts on the Internet, there are very few people who take the initiative to mention matters related to functional works, and only those accounts that mainly recommend functional works occasionally You can see some comments about your own works.

But the evaluations are mostly mediocre evaluations like 'too astringent', 'the same level as before' and 'nothing new, but still at the normal level'.

The sage himself knew it well, so when he saw the evaluation, he didn't have much mood swings. It was completely different from the feeling of standing in a big bookstore looking for his own works now.

Knowing that his own work is not a masterpiece of the topic, the sage did not go to the most conspicuous places, and he and Mito Yuka wandered around in the bookstore almost aimlessly, looking at it from time to time Works around.
