Chapter 255: Depressed Hori Kyoko
"Huh? Onii-chan, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"It's not your fault!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Looking at Iura Hide, who was scratching his hair hard and seemed to be in a bad mood when he woke up, Hoshino Ai couldn't help but make a cute face and smiled complacently.

If Jingpu Xiu blamed her for other things, she would definitely be uneasy, nervous and sad, worrying that Jingpu Xiu would dislike her and no longer love her.

But if you saw her smiling as brightly as she did last night, you would know how happy she was.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer, Onii-chan?"

"No need. Didn't we agree to go to the aquarium together this morning? Hai Meng rarely has time on weekends~" Jingpu Xiu said as he rubbed his eyes, lifted the quilt and prepared to get up.

Before he could finish his words, Kitagawa Umi, who happened to be at the door of the room and was also planning to come over to wake him up, heard what he said. She was immediately moved and rushed over to throw him back on the bed.

"Wow, woo, woo~ Senior, you are so good to me! Actually, it doesn't matter if I go a little later. Don't you have to record songs in the afternoon? It will definitely affect you if you don't get enough rest, right?"

"Forehead"

Looking at Kitagawa Umi rubbing against his arms, a guilty look flashed in Iura Hide's eyes.

He was not sure whether he was good to Kitagawa Umi, but if Kitagawa Umi knew what happened in the bathroom last night.
"Ahem, just use the tape. It won't have any effect~!"

Jing Pu Xiu quickly stopped the random thoughts in his head, touched her head with a smile and said.

"Okay, let me get up~!"

"Uh-huh!"

Kitagawa Umi gave him another big kiss on the face before getting off him.

However, after getting up and quickly washing up, Iura Hide did not go downstairs to have breakfast immediately. Instead, he sneaked to the third floor, helped Mashiro change clothes as quickly as possible, and then took Mashiro downstairs.

then
"Oh my goodness, Senior~!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Looking at Kitagawa Umi, Sugaya Noha and the other three who were laughing and having fun at the dining table, Iura Hide's eyes twitched slightly and he couldn't help feeling a little strange.

"By the way, where's Kyoko? Hasn't she gotten up yet?" In order to avoid exposing anything, Iura Hide quickly turned around and asked Yoshikawa Yuki.

Before Yoshikawa Yuki could speak, Motoko explained: "Kyoko said she had something to do, so she went back after making breakfast for Xiao Ai and me."

"Eh? Kyoko made this breakfast?"

Jingpu Xiu raised his eyebrows again, with a look of surprise on his face.

What Kyoko Hori meant by 'something' was probably going back to take care of Sota Hori, which was not surprising to him. However, Kyoko Hori actually helped Motoko and the others prepare breakfast, which was beyond his expectation.

"No wonder today's breakfast is not only much richer than before, but also tastes much better. It wouldn't be surprising if it was made by Hori Kyoko." Iura Hide couldn't help but think secretly.

After all, Kyoko Hori has been working as a part-time housewife since she started high school. In terms of cooking skills alone, she is far superior to Motoko and the others who have just started learning to cook, and even he feels ashamed of himself.

However, because she had to take care of Hori Sota, Hori Kyoko obviously couldn't go to the aquarium with them.

"I am back!"

While Iura Hide was eating breakfast and silently praising Hori Kyoko's cooking skills in his heart, Hori Kyoko, who was feeling depressed, had already returned home. As expected, as soon as she entered the door, she was questioned by Hori Yuriko, who had been waiting for a long time.

Honestly speaking, if she hadn't been worried about waking up Hori Sota who hadn't gotten up yet, she would have almost gone berserk.

"Alright, alright! Xiu and I didn't do anything. I just stayed at Xiu's house for one night. Stop making wild guesses!"

"Yes, yes, there is no need for any safety measures, and no one will be killed. Even if someone is killed, you don't have to worry about it, okay!"

"Don't you have to go to work? Can you please leave now?"

Kyoko Hori has tried very hard to control her temper and doesn't want to vent her emotions on Yuriko Hori, but Yuriko Hori
"Ah, no wonder Kyoko-chan looked so unhappy, it turns out it's because she couldn't do the dirty things with Iura-kun!"

"But why is it like this?" Hori Yuriko said, stroking her chin and looking Hori Kyoko up and down.

"Kyoko-chan has inherited Oga-san's good looks, so she's a rare beauty!"

"Is it because Xiong is too young?"

"Strange, obviously Ogasang's all have C——"

"Shut up!" Kyoko Hori finally couldn't help but yell, with hash marks appearing on her forehead.

However, after yelling, her mood did improve a lot, which made her immediately realize that Hori Yuriko said that on purpose.

This made her feel warm at heart.

But... everything else is fine, but Yuriko Hori actually dared to complain that she was fierce and petty?
Don’t you know this is taboo?

Besides, isn’t being fierce and aggressive hereditary?
"Okay, Ogasan, I won't say any more. I'm going to work. But if you like someone, you should let go and pursue them bravely. Don't leave any regrets for your youth. Even if you accidentally become a single mother, it doesn't matter. Ogasan will fully support you."

"."

Kyoko Hori decisively retracted her previous emotion and couldn't help but harden her fists.

What does it mean to accidentally become a single mother? Is this a flag for her?
"A scholar wouldn't be so irresponsible!"

After saying that, Kyoko Hori turned around and went upstairs without looking back to her room to change clothes.

Behind her, Hori Yuriko smiled, then quickly changed her shoes at the entrance and went out. Because she had to wait for Hori Kyoko to come back, she left home much later than usual for work, and if she didn't hurry up, she would be late.

"But seeing that Kyoko-chan is still as energetic as usual, Ogasaki-san feels relieved," Hori Yuriko muttered to herself.

But Hori Kyoko seemed fine, mainly because she was not the only one who couldn't go to the aquarium this morning.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, one had an appointment to see the editor to discuss the revision of the novel's plot, and the other had to go back to catch up on the progress she had missed, so neither of them could go together.

In addition, Yoshikawa Yuki, Inui Sasaki, and Inui Shinju also had to go home due to some matters.

So this time, besides Motoko, Hoshino Ai, Kitagawa and Umi, the only other people who went together were Mashiro and Pochi-chan.

Well, in Iura Hide's opinion, there are still a bit too many people.

In fact, Daisora ​​and Ryune were originally going to work this morning.

Dakong was going to take a set of clothing photos for the online store, and Liuyin was going to help out in the store opened by her cousin. However, after the four rows last night, both of them decisively changed their minds.

Especially Liuyin, who consumed so much energy last night that she definitely won’t be able to recover in one night, so... let’s go shopping to restore her energy!

It was also at this time that Iura Shucai discovered that Ryune was actually a love-brained person even more seriously than Kitagawa Umi and Sugaya Noha.

After breaking through that layer of relationship, her heart was completely with him, and coupled with her simple and naive personality, it seemed that she would never refuse any of his requests.

No wonder Ozora and Sugaya Noha are particularly worried about her and want to "help" her.

From Iura Hide's perspective, there is certainly nothing wrong with having a girlfriend who is love-minded. However, Ryune's occasional overly intimate behavior always makes him feel nervous, fearing that Kitagawa Umi will notice something.

As for people like Hoshino Ai and Kasumigaoka Utaha who have sharper intuition, they probably noticed that something was wrong with the two before they even finished breakfast.

"Let's go~!"

First, they took the Toei Asakusa Line to Oshiage Station, and then they walked to the Tokyo Skytree.

That’s right, the aquarium that Iura Hide and the others are going to is the Sumida Aquarium that often appears in various anime.

Because of its very good environment, the fact that it is located inside the Tokyo Skytree and not far from the Sensoji Temple, Sumida Aquarium can be said to be the most popular aquarium in Tokyo.

At the same time, it is also rated as the No. 1 aquarium that couples must visit, so the most common tourists here are couples behaving intimately.

In addition, there are parents who bring their children to play.

It's rare for a group like Iura Hide and his group to come here. At this moment, they are the only ones in the huge aquarium.

In addition, Kitagawa Umi and the others are all rare beauties, and most importantly, they are all surrounding Iura Hide, behaving in an intimate manner.

So no matter where they went, they would attract strange looks from all the couples around them. Even with Jing Pu Xiu's thick skin, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and ashamed.

On the contrary, Kitagawa Umi and the others, except for Motoko and Pochi-chan who felt a little uncomfortable, all looked calm, as if they didn't notice those gazes at all.

"Is this what they mean by "I'm not embarrassed, but others are embarrassed?"

Jingpu Xiu felt strange.

However, when he noticed that the other boys around him were looking at him with envious eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little proud despite his embarrassment.

After all, with Kitagawa Umi and the others' looks and figures, even in the world of love-themed anime, it would be rare to have a harem as high quality as his, right?

Unfortunately, Sumida Aquarium is only an indoor aquarium, and even including the break time, it took less than two hours to finish the tour.

Although they went to visit Sensoji Temple and Asakusa Shopping Street later, Iura Hide's "group" tour in those places did not attract much attention.

After having lunch at Asakusa Shopping Street, everyone took the return subway together, and then split into three groups after exiting the subway station.

Kitagawa Umi accompanied Motoko, who had to do double homework, back home, and took advantage of the afternoon free time to continue making cosplay costumes for her and Iura Hide.

Having expended a lot of energy last night and having been shopping for most of the day today, Ryūin and Oosora planned to go home and have a good rest. They would also pack their clothes and luggage in advance and look for an opportunity to stay overnight at Iura Hide's house.

As for Iura Hide, he first sent Mashiro back home, and then went to Fanxing with Hoshino Ai, Pochi-chan and Sugaya Noha.

"Oh my god! Xiu, have you seen the results of our new song?"

"It's already ranked fourth on the daily rankings! And it's already made it onto the weekly rankings! And it's only been one night!"

"When I woke up this morning and saw the results, I was shocked!"

Ijichi Kouka, who was originally holding her phone and reading the comments with a smile on her face, stood up and rushed over excitedly when she saw Iura Hide. Her big eyes were almost shining with stars, just like Hoshino Ai's.

"Yeah, I saw it! To be honest, I was also shocked~" Iura Hide said with a smile.

He was indeed a little "shocked" by the achievements of "You Could Shine". After all, he did not expect that the release of a light novel alone could bring such a big boost to "You Could Shine". The number of paid downloads increased by several levels more than he expected.

But he couldn't be as happy and excited as Ijichi Hongxia. After all, "Sold Out" is still firmly occupying the throne of the weekly chart.

"Okay, calm down, this is just the beginning, okay~ Maybe the performance of "Youth Syndrome" will be better than "If You Could Shine"?"

Seeing that several minutes had passed and Ijichi Kouka was still excited, Iura Hide had to change the subject.

"Is this possible? I mean, 'If You Can Shine' has the added bonus of 'April', and the results are already very good."

Yidi Chi Hongxia was no longer as excited as before, and became a little nervous and uneasy.

"Just try this and you'll know." Jingura Hide said with a relaxed smile.

"Anyway, based on the quality of the song itself, I don't think "Youth Syndrome" is worse than "If You Could Shine"."

"Yeah, you're right! 'Youth Syndrome' is no worse than 'If You Could Shine'!" Ijichi Hongxia seemed to be infected by his smile, and her emotions finally eased.

"Then let's hurry up and record 'Youth Syndrome'. Speaking of which, ever since you uploaded the performance video last night, there have been fans in the comments urging us to release the song quickly. By the way, where's Liang?"

"I've been here forever, okay~!"

A weak voice sounded from behind Ijichi Kouka.

Poor Yamada Ryo was finally remembered by Ijichi Kouka at this time.

Afterwards, they went to Akina Mizuno's recording studio together and recorded the two songs "Youth Syndrome" and "Flashing Light".

Then upload and release "Youth Syndrome" directly as planned.

With the help of Iura Hide's own popularity and the latest heat brought by "Shine".

"Youth Syndrome" got off to a very good start as soon as it was uploaded. In less than 50 minutes, the number of paid downloads exceeded , which is higher than "The Light That Shine".

This also caused a small shock to all the entertainment companies and management companies that were paying attention to Iura Hide, but it also made Ijichi Hikaka, who was originally a little nervous, completely relieved.

The success of "If You Can Shine" is not a flash in the pan, it is just the beginning. As long as Iura Hide is there, their band will definitely be able to perform on the stage of the Budokan in the future and become the most dazzling band in the whole of Neon!

Thinking of this, there was a strange light in Ijichi Hongxia's eyes when she looked at Iura Hide.

"We are the only ones here today, how about..."

After hesitating for a long time, Ichichi Hongxia finally spoke when they were leaving the recording studio: "How about we celebrate at my house later? I'll cook for you myself~!"
