I Won't Be a Loser

At about ten o'clock at night, the two came out of the bedroom, went to the bathroom and stayed for a while. When they came out, the sage returned to the bedroom, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a message to Xiyuan Temple World.

Let Xiyuan Temple World go to accompany Setsuna for a while, he may not be able to return to Xiaoshichuan until later.

Another year of sprouting: 307. A closer look

Looking at the tissue on the desk, and the two teeth on the tissue, and then at Qingpu Setsuna who was sitting aside, his cheeks were not so swollen, and he had almost recovered.

On the boy's face, there was a doubt full of wisdom.

"Sorry, I felt like I had a little ear just now... If I heard correctly, you are going to make these two teeth into—"

"Master."

"..."

Silently looking at Qingpu Setsuna next to him, his eyes couldn't help falling on the two teeth of the desk, and he felt a little subtle feeling in his heart. It was the first time he discovered that his girlfriend had such a...chic interest?

"Why do you have such an idea?"

"In this way, I can guard by the sage's side?"

I couldn't help but 'thump' from the bottom of my heart, I always felt that this kind of development was a subtle trend, and I was a little unsafe.

"It's better to keep it as a treasure. Even if it is made into a guard, it is not convenient to carry it at any time. It is better to store them and put them at home. When they are opened again on a certain day in a certain year, maybe there will be more Feel it."

"......"

Qingpu stared at the sage for a moment, looked down at the two teeth on the desk, was silent for a moment, nodded, and agreed with the sage's suggestion.

Silently put the two wisdom teeth back into the drawer, and the sage standing aside, watching Qing Pu's momentary movements, was also a little more relaxed, thinking that he would carry a ward made of a tooth, always Without leaving the body, just thinking about it makes me shudder.

It's not the so-called "depth of love", but his instinctive resistance to this aspect of behavior. He always feels that he doesn't look like a normal person, but more like a primitive person who lives in modern society. Physiologically unacceptable.

Taking care of Qingpu Setsuna, accompanied by him and Xiyuanji World in turn, during this time, Qingpu Setsuna was hiding at home, but he didn't feel lonely.

During the day he is with Kiyoura Setsuna, but at night, he usually goes to the 'coffee shop' to meet Futaba Rio and stay by Futaba Rio's side. Stay in the bedroom, or in the living room.

The originally empty house, during the period when Fuzeoka Mari and Machida Sonoko moved here, was constantly filled with different furniture and daily necessities at a considerable speed. There were also some simple bookshelves with high cost performance in the living room. It is full of magazines and booklets published by the two of them.

"Basically they are magazines, and the number of light novels is not very large."

"Magazines are released almost every week, but light novels are not published casually. Most authors can't even complete the first volume, so they are directly rejected, revised and rewritten, which are very common things. Whether you are a published author or an author who passed the first book, it must be difficult for ordinary authors to understand the hardships."

It is rare to talk a lot of content, Machida Sonoko seemed to be touched by something after hearing the words of the sage, and it was rare to be serious.

Dinner was already over, but because of a word from the sage, the four of them ordered takeaway and sat at the table in the living room. Machida Sonoko, who was drinking beer, couldn't control herself a little after hearing the sage's words.

"Even for the authors who won the award and got the opportunity to publish, there are many people who disappeared shortly after a book was released. In this world where sales determine everything, even if it is a highly acclaimed work, the sales still do not meet the standard. You have to face the crisis of being cut in half.”

In this regard, even the sages in the past have never experienced this feeling.

Although he used to be a sensual writer, he was very talented in this area. From the first newspaper article to the publication of his own contribution, it was a matter of course without any hindrance.

Occasionally, the sales of works may not be as expected, but they have always been able to meet his personal expenses and use.

Feeling like his own work was hindered and he couldn’t publish it. Without Machida Sonoko in front of him to explain, it was really hard for him to understand that feeling. Can't truly understand how those people feel.

"Some children do work very hard, but in this regard, they do need a little talent."

Fuzeoka Mari also had some feelings about Machida Sonoko's words.

Many of the magazines in the publishing house are edited and revised by professional in-house editors. They are not the content of anyone. Once you submit your manuscript, you can easily pass it. Most people will not try again if they fail.

"Talent, some people obviously work hard but don't have talent, and some people have talent but don't work hard at all, and the draft will be delayed for a long time, which is a headache."

Machida Sonoko's eyes slowly fell on the sage, his eyes narrowed, as sly as a fox.

"Hey, Miyamizu-kun, I think this is actually a good place to write."

Sage, who sensed something was wrong, couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly when facing Sonoko Machida's gaze looking at him.

"is it?"

There is no affirmation or negation, and he also wants to see the other party's purpose.

"As for me, I am in charge of a very good writer, but she always procrastinates, which is very troublesome. Therefore, in order to let her write the content of the new volume as soon as possible, so that I can supervise and urge her at all times, I can let her Do you live in too?"

Rio Futaba, who was reading the book without opening her mouth, raised her head slightly, and looked at Sonoko Machida who was sitting opposite.

Noticing the girl's gaze, Sonoko Machida put his palms together, showing an apologetic expression.

"Yeah, I know it's a bit too much, but she hasn't written a new volume all the time, and I also have a very headache. Isn't there just an unused bedroom below?"

Yes, there is another bedroom.

This 'coffee house' has a total of four bedrooms, in addition to the master bedroom where the sage lives, there are three small auxiliary bedrooms.

The land area of ​​6.1 ping, even if it is divided into three bedrooms, the space of each bedroom is about 20 ping, which is about 20 square meters. Considering that some rented apartments are only 8 square meters in size, the rent is in the About 10 yen, [-] yen a month like a sage, is really cheap—cough.

"And you know each other too."

"Is Kasumigaoka-senpai who will be promoted to the third grade soon?"

Hearing Machida Sonoko's words, a familiar figure quickly appeared in Sage's mind.

"Hmm~"

Rio Futaba is also somewhat impressed. She is not ignorant of the influential figures in the academy. Even if she doesn't want to pay attention, the discussions of the people around her will make her passively accept the information.

"Kasumigaoka Shiwa from the second grade?"

"It will be the third grade soon, that is, one year later, I will have to graduate and enter the university. With Kasumigaoka-senpai's grades, I am afraid that entering a first-class university will not be a problem, huh."

The gaze in his eyes moved, he remembered that his senior sister had outstanding grades, especially in liberal arts.

If the other party is willing to live here, wouldn't he have an environment to get in touch with the other party, even if it is to ask questions related to exam preparation, there is no hindrance?

He remembers clearly, it seems that he entered Waseda, or Keio's liberal arts department... Anyway, he entered one of these two private schools.

With such a senior sister as a tutor, for the completion of——

'In the past, I decided to enter the liberal arts department because I had no hope for life, and lived an ordinary life, but now it is still the same as before, deciding to enter the liberal arts department, and aiming at the liberal arts department? '

He hesitated for a moment in his heart, but he must have no problem letting the other party live in.

Glancing at Rio Futaba next to him, one majoring in liberal arts and one majoring in science, it doesn't matter which route you choose!

"I have no objection. If she agrees to 10 yen a month, she can live in, but she probably won't agree. There is still a boy here, so there is no reason to agree."

"Leave this to me!"

Sonoko Machida became excited all of a sudden, while Rio Futaba, who was sitting next to the sage, looked at the sage next to her, her eyes flickered slightly, her mood was a little low, she sat quietly at the table until midnight. At the end of the night, I didn't say much.

When she returned to the bedroom, she saw Rio Futaba lying down on the bed after coming out of the bathroom without saying a word. A wise man who is not slow, he naturally noticed the girl's depressed mood.

"I originally aimed at liberal arts. It just so happened that Kasumigaoka-senpai also aimed at this. She has been promoted to the third grade, so she can give me some advice, and it can also be your reference."

"I am not interested."

"To refer to this matter, or to Kasumigaoka-senpai, or—to me?"

When he came to the edge of the bed, the sage who sat on the bed looked at Futaba Futaba, who was facing away from him, and got closer to her side, with his face on her shoulders, staring at the girl's profile, looking at Futaba Futaba. Turning her face sideways again, she buried her in the pillow, her side hair slid down her face, making her expression invisible.

"Don't you live here too? I'm not always here. In comparison, you two may spend more time in contact."

After thinking about it, it seems so.

Rio Futaba's mood improved a little bit, but she was not completely relieved. In addition, she returned to normal after such a simple matter, as if she was jealous and narrow-minded.

The sage who was lying on the bed stretched out his hand, and hugged Rio Futaba, whose back was facing him.

The girl who was still a little sullen felt the warmth behind her, she was silent for a moment, and without insisting, she silently closed her eyes.

By the next day, there will be no such thing as tonight.

However, she had to pay attention to the fact that Xiazhiqiu Shiyu moved in, and be fully prepared!

"Hey, Shiwa-chan is also living at home now, living with her parents, right?"

At the publishing house, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, who was suddenly called by his editor, thought that the other party was a urging manuscript as usual, but he didn't expect the other party to talk about his own life, which made Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu frowned.

"That has nothing to do with you as an editor, right? My task is only to write new works, not to come to the publishing house and be investigated about my family environment."

"Of course, it has nothing to do with me, but your new book has been quiet for such a long time. As an editor, I am really worried about you, Shi Yu."

"Thank you for your concern, but no need, I already have an idea about the content of the new book, and I can finish it soon."

"How long?"

"Three months."

"It's too long, especially when school is about to start, so your writing time has to be reduced again?"

"Considering the matter of going to school, I only proposed three months."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu felt that something was wrong with the familiar editor in front of her. There were also cases of urging manuscripts in the past, but it would not be as active as it is today.

"I'm already a high school student, and it's not good to live with my parents. It's time to give my parents some private space. Hey, have you considered moving out to live alone?"

"This is your purpose? Moving out to live will only make you busier and your time tighter? What exactly do you want to do?"

Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who had already clearly sensed something was wrong, looked at Machida Sonoko in front of her, with her arms folded in front of her, and kept tapping her arms with her fingers, she was already a little impatient.

"I moved."

"Then?"

"The place where we moved is a big house. You can walk to the subway station in 5 minutes. The house is also very big. It is about 30 pings in total, and each of the three bedrooms has 6 pings. My friend and I lived in it. Two, and one spare bedroom."

Staring at the girl in front of her, Sonoko Machida smiled.

"Are you interested?"

"No need, I am very satisfied with my current life, there is no need to go to a strange place and spend some time to adapt to the strange environment."

"That's a sensible statement, but you, who haven't had a boyfriend until now, can you really write a work that satisfies you?"

Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who had already stood up, looked back at her editor after hearing Machida Sonoko's words.

"I'm already getting angry."

"Why don't you take a close look at the men and women who are dating, how about it?"
