I Won't Be a Loser

Machida Sonoko and Fuzeoka Mari both looked surprised, apparently they didn't invite anyone to come.

"I'll open the door."

I don't know who came to visit. The sage stood up and walked downstairs. When he came to the door and opened the door, he saw a gloomy expression, looking lost, and he didn't even look like long hair. Rio Futaba tied up as usual.

Before she could speak, the girl raised her head and looked at the sage helplessly.

Without asking what happened, Shan Shan grabbed the girl's shoulders, let the girl enter the room, and looked at the girl in front of her.

"Go to my room and rest for a while?"

Rio Futaba nodded silently, and went upstairs with Sage, and saw Mari Fuzeoka and Sonoko Machida in the living room on the 2nd floor. When they saw Sage and Rio Futaba, they were also a little surprised and surprised.

Rio Futaba, who was following the sage, naturally noticed the two people in the living room. The eyes of the three briefly touched, and the girl had already folded her horns and went to the 3rd floor with the sage. Sonoko Machida blinked in surprise in the living room. He turned to Fuzeoka Mari who was beside him.

"That girl just now is his girlfriend? Isn't this a very cute girl? She also has an impeccable figure, ah—envious!!"

I still vaguely remember the last time I met Mari Fuzeoka, his girlfriend, at the apartment of the sage. I was still a little entangled with this strange girl. I didn’t know what kind of relationship she had with the sage. I couldn't help but fell silent.

"I'll go back to my room to rest for a while, and I'll come out when it's time to prepare dinner."

"Huh? Oh."

I don't know what happened to Fuzeoka Mari, but seeing her go back to the bedroom and Machida Sonoko who stayed in the living room, the triangle love relationship was suddenly outlined in her mind, and it suddenly became interesting.

"Those two people just now..."

Sitting on the edge of the sage's bed in the sage's bedroom, Rio Futaba couldn't help asking, and looked at the sage beside her.

Sitting next to Rio Futaba, the sage with one arm on her shoulder was not too surprised when he heard Rio Futaba's inquiry. ready to answer this question.

"The one with the long hair is my editor, Ms. Fuzeoka Mari, and the other is an editor from another publishing house, and she has a better relationship with Mari-san, a cohabiting roommate."

"Are they living here?"

"I don't live here very often. It feels a bit wasteful to be idle. It just so happens that the rent of Sister Marie's apartment is a bit expensive. I chatted with her and offered a cheaper monthly rent. She moved here with her roommate."

The girl stared at the sage, looked into the eyes of the sage, was silent for a moment, did not ask any other confusion in her heart, quietly lowered her head, and sat quietly in the room.

"Shall I get you a cup of tea?"

"No, no need, I..."

With delicate and white hands, she tightly grasped her skirt, bit her lips, lowered her head, looked at her hands silently, and closed her eyes.

"I, can't go home for the time being."

"Then live here. Anyway, the rooms here are basically empty. I'll go out and buy some clothes for you later. Just stay here."

"Ah."

Rio Futaba looked at the sage beside her, bit her lips tightly, and the light in her eyes was dim.

He wanted to talk to the sage about his own affairs, but he felt a heavy uneasiness in his heart for some reason, so he couldn't open his mouth no matter what. He kept his thoughts in his heart and sat quietly in the room.

The sage sitting beside her quietly accompanied her.

After about an hour or so, the mood of the girl beside her calmed down a little, and when she looked at the sage again, she had calmed down a lot, and her eyes had regained some of the usual light.

"When I went out, I took my wallet and my phone."

"Don't worry about that here, just be prepared, let's go, first go buy some clothes for you."

"Ah."

It is naturally impossible for him not to be curious about what happened to Rio Futaba, but looking at Rio Futaba's current state, he is not in a hurry to ask.

Quietly stood up, walked out of the room with Futaba Rio, saw Machida Sonoko in the living room, politely told the other party that she was going out for a while, and the other party asked about the time when she would come back.

"Don't wait for me, you may come back very late."

"OK~"

Stretching out his hand for a gesture of understanding, the sage went out with Rio Futaba and headed for the station.

Machida Sonoko, who was lying in the living room, stood up after Sage left for a while, walked to Fuzeoka Mari's door, and knocked on the other's door.

"exist?"

"Ok?"

Fuzeoka Mari, who was still working inside the house, came to the door and looked at Machida Sonoko standing at the door, not knowing what was going on.

"Those two have gone out, and it seems that they will come back very late tonight. What do you want for dinner?"

"I also can."

"Then let's go out and have a look together?"

"okay."

Fuzeoka Mari thought for a while, almost stayed at home today, it seemed good to go out for a walk, she went back to her room, saved her work, went out with Machida Sonoko, and went to the nearest store street.

I came to Shinjuku with Futaba Rio, in the famous shopping malls, such as 'BIC CAMERA' and 'Shinjuku SUBNADE' and so on.

At first, he was planning to buy clothes, but when he thought of the girls’ daily necessities, the sage led Futaba Rio to a large shopping mall, where he bought pajamas and regular clothes for the girls, prepared two sets of each, and went to It took about three hours to buy some beauty products for daily use, and when it was too late, the two had dinner at a teppanyaki restaurant.

The sage who had hardly used teppanyaki, and was not very good at teppanyaki, silently looked at the ingredients in front of him, and then glanced at Rio Futaba opposite him.

"Do you know?"

"will not."

"Coincidentally, I can't either, so--waiter!"

The sage doesn't know how to cook teppanyaki, and neither can Futaba Rio, so he can only ask the waiter to help instead. Seeing the skillful technique of the waiter, the sage watched and learned a bit.

"Ah, thanks, another copy is not needed, we want to try it ourselves."

"I understand."

The waiter nodded in understanding, put down the shovel, wished the two of them a happy meal, and then turned to help other guests.

"Have you learned?"

Rio Futaba looked at the sage, and couldn't help asking.

"Probably yes. Whether you can make delicious teppanyaki depends on God's will. Do you want to try?"

"........"

Futaba Rio didn't answer and kept silent, while the sage handed the shovel in front of her.

"Please."

Seeing that the shovel had been handed to him, Futaba Rio didn't refuse, and started to handle the ingredients with the shovel, just like the waiter just now, and started to handle it by himself.

The sage sitting opposite her supported his chin with one hand, looking at Rio Futaba calmly.

"It looks ripe, let's turn it over."

"Ah."

"Put some seaweed?"

"Do you like bonito flakes?"

When it was almost ripe, the sage who took out the ingredients asked Futaba Rio and confirmed that she didn't hate it, so he sprinkled seaweed and bonito flakes on it.

"mayonnaise?"

"I'm on mayonnaise... just add a little bit and see the taste."

Originally, he had a general feeling for mayonnaise, but after hearing Rio Futaba's opening, he decided to add a little bit to try the taste of mayonnaise.

First cut small pieces and put them on Rio Futaba's plate, then cut small portions and put them on the plate in front of him, tasted it and it was okay.

"It tastes okay, um."

"A bit burnt."

Rio Futaba took a sip, closed her eyes, and felt a little disappointed in her heart.

"The tenderness just now is tender, but this slightly burnt feeling, to me, tastes better. Well, I still like this kind of taste, but the mayonnaise feels a bit redundant."

Hearing what the sage said, Rio Futaba glanced at the young man. After getting along for a long time, it could be seen that the other party was not comforting her, which made Rio Futaba feel better, and she silently took a bite of the teppanyaki. , closed his eyes, and felt the taste in his mouth.

It took another hour to cook a meal, and by the time I got home, it was already eight o'clock in the night.

After getting on the subway, it didn't take much time to return to the 'coffee house'.

When they opened the door and entered the house, Sonoko Machida and Mari Fuzeoka in pajamas were sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading magazines together, and seemed to be discussing fashion-related issues.

Seeing the two who had returned home, Sonoko Machida had a sly smile on her face, but she didn't make a sound, while Mari Fuzeoka greeted the sage.

"Welcome back."

"Well, for the next period of time, my girlfriend, Rio Futaba, will be living here for a while."

"Welcome~ My name is Sonoko Machida, I'm a tenant living here, please give me your advice~"

"Mari Fuzeoka, please give me your advice."

Looking at the two people with completely different personalities, Rio Futaba pursed her lips, nodded to the two, and introduced herself.

"Rio Futaba, please give me more advice."

In front of other people, the matter of being introduced as a girlfriend by a sage made the girl's heart settle down suddenly, and the feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction made her smile for the first time after coming here.

After greeting the two people in the living room, the sage returned to the room with Rio Futaba, and the two sitting in the living room looked at each other.

"Envy?"

"what?"

"That girl became Miyazui-kun's girlfriend, aren't you envious?"

"I'm not a child, how could I be envious of these things."

"That's jealousy?"

"You—well...forget it."

I wanted to lose my temper with Machida Sonoko, but when I thought of the character of the other party, even if I lost my temper, it was useless. It would be better to pretend that the other party did not exist. After taking a deep breath, I sat quietly in the living room and looked at the person in front of me. magazine.

Mari Fuzeoka, who suddenly turned off the fire, made Machida Sonoko feel that the matter seemed to be really interesting, she smiled, and then continued to read the magazine.

Both of them had already used the bathroom, and the returning sage and Futaba Rio also went to the bathroom after a while.
