Chapter 256: Gogen Ruri's Thoughts

"No need to celebrate!"

Jingpu Xiu didn't notice the light of expectation dancing in Ichichi Hongxia's eyes. He stretched hard and said, "I'm a little tired these two days. I plan to go back and have a good rest."

"Oh, that's how it is."

The light in Ijichi Hongxia's eyes dimmed instantly.

But then she showed her usual lively and energetic side again and started joking with Iura Hide with a smile.

"Is it because there are too many girls around you?"

Jingpu Xiu laughed dryly and shrugged. Although he didn't say it directly, the meaning was already very clear.

Just at this moment, at the door of Takasago Bookstore across the street, Takasago Chie, who had just finished handing over the cashier work to Odo-san, noticed them, or to be more precise, noticed Iura Hide. Her eyes immediately lit up and she ran over quickly.

As she moved, Ruri Gokou, who was replenishing "April" on the display stand at the door of the store, followed her and saw Iura Hideroku and others.

"Huh? Is it that Sun Favorite?" Gogen Ruri was slightly startled at first, then her eyes flickered, and her heart became conflicted.

"Want to go over and say hello?"

Logically speaking, Iura Hide and she are friends, and it was Iura Hide who helped her get this job. Now that they meet, she should go over to say hello and thank Iura Hide out of courtesy.

But when he turned his eyes, he saw Ijichi Koka, Sugaya Noha and Hoshino Ai, who were full of energy beside Iura Hide.

She couldn't help but recall the video of Iura Hide and the others' performance last night that Takasago Chie pushed to her this morning. She suddenly felt that the other person was in a different world from her. In the end, she gave up the idea of ​​going over to say hello.

"Forget it. With so many followers of the Sun gathered together, the light they emit is too dazzling. A follower of the Night like me will probably be burned by them before I even get close. So I'll wait until the next time I meet them in class to say thank you."

Gogen Ruri muttered to herself, planning to continue organizing the bookshelf.

But she didn't know why, when she turned around and looked away, an indescribable bitter feeling suddenly arose in her heart, and even her nose felt inexplicably sour.

"Huh? What happened to me? Is this a curse?"

Gogen Ruri muttered to herself, trying hard to suppress the urge to turn back.

At the same time, Chie Takasago had a bright smile on her face and greeted Iura Hide with a smile.

"Hello~! Iura-senpai, why are you guys here? Ah! I see, you're here to record the song "Youth Syndrome" that was just uploaded and released, right? I bought that song right away~!"

"Uh, thank you!"

Iura Hide unconsciously looked at Ijichi Koka beside him, and then hurriedly smiled and thanked him.

At the same time, Noha Sugaya was looking at her childhood friend in front of her, especially the bright smile on Chie Takasago's face, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her big eyes.

"There seems to be something wrong with Zhihui?"

Noha Sugaya couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

She is not as thick-skinned as Kitagawa Umi, or as silly as Ryune, but her intuition is still very sharp.

Although it is true that at the beginning, Chie Takasago was just a fan of the light novel "April", it is easy for fans of the novel to become fans of the author, especially when Iura Hide himself is so outstanding.

At least the previous Chie Takasago would never be so proactive in buying "Youth Syndrome".

Looking at Eriri and herself, Noha Sugaya suddenly became a little more alert.

"This is not okay!"

Noha Sugaya felt that she needed to stop Chie Takasago.

Although Chie Takasago is her childhood friend, there are simply too many girls around Iura Hide.

If this continues, I’m afraid there won’t even be enough slots for us to play games together!
She either couldn't stop the others, such as Hori Kyoko and Pochi-chan.

Either they cannot be stopped, like Kanesa Shouye.

But if it was Chie Takasago, then she wouldn't need to be polite.

"Hey, hey, the senior has been very tired these past two days and needs to go back to rest early. Please don't bother him anymore, okay~"

Seeing that Chie Takasago was still there, talking to Iura Hide nonstop as if she was a fan who had accidentally met her idol on the street, Noha Sugaya couldn't help but interrupt her quickly, saying something suggestive.

However, although Chie Takasago gave up the idea of ​​continuing to discuss the April plot with Iura Hide with a look of regret, she did not seem to hear the subtext of her words.

"Ah, sorry, then senior, please go back and have a rest. We can continue this discussion another day!"

Upon hearing this, Noha Sugaya frowned and wondered whether she should find another opportunity to test Chie Takasago later.

At the same time, Jingura Hide secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face looked even more sincere.

"Then let's go first!"

"Well, bye~"

"Bye-Bye!"

After Chie Takasago left, Hide Iura and the other six also separated in front of the music store.

Ijichi Hongxia and Yamada Ryo naturally returned to Fanxing.

Although they no longer have to pay for the number of tickets required by the performance quota out of their own pocket, they still have to continue working.

Noha Sugaya, who hadn't changed her clothes for two days and needed to go home, went with them since it was on her way.

The remaining three people, Hide Iura, went to the subway station together. After sending Pochi-chan to the subway first, Hide Iura also took Hoshino Ai on the subway to go home.

"what--"

"Finally home!"

About forty minutes later, Jingpu Xiu finally returned home. He was like a husky that had been ridden for dozens of kilometers by its owner on an electric bike. As soon as he entered the door, he threw himself on the soft sofa.

Motoko had just finished her and Hoshino Ai's homework and was about to go to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee and start preparing the ingredients for dinner in advance. As a result, she saw this scene as soon as she went downstairs and was completely shocked.

"Huh? What's wrong, Onii-chan?" Motoko blinked and turned to look at Hoshino Ai.

Hoshino Ai still doesn't know that Jingpu Xiu secretly went out to play games again last night, and two of the games were four-person games. She just thought that it was all her fault that Jingpu Xiu didn't sleep well, and she couldn't help laughing and said, "Maybe Onii-chan is exhausted these days~"

"He asked for it!" Motoko complained first, then couldn't help but come to the sofa with concern and said in a bad mood: "Go back to your room to sleep, what if you catch a cold on the sofa!" "If I catch a cold, you still have me to take care of me~" Iura Hide turned over like a salted fish and said with a smile.

Although in romance anime, there are often plots where the hero and heroine catch a cold and fall ill, and the other party takes the opportunity to take care of the other to get closer to them, but he did not intend or need such a plot to happen to him, so after saying that, he obediently stood up and walked upstairs.

"By the way, what do you want for dinner today?" Jizi glared at him again, then remembered about dinner and asked hurriedly.

"Well, although I like all the food that Jizi cooks, Jizi is also tired all day, so she should go and rest for a while. Dinner will be ready when I wake up. How about eating omelette rice then?"

Being praised, Kiko blushed a little, but she didn't refuse.

After all, she also likes to eat the omelette rice made by Iura Hide himself!

"Okay then! But don't oversleep!"

"I know, I know~"

Looking at the proud look on Motoko's face as she was pulled by Hoshino Ai to follow, Iura Hide couldn't help but smile and touched her head.

Although Motoko herself is not as pretty as Eriri, but because of her status as a younger sister, she is just as cute and tsundere as Eriri.

Later, when he passed by Kitagawa Umi's room, he wanted to say hello to Kitagawa Umi and ask her to get some rest as well.

However, seeing her sitting in front of the sewing machine and concentrating on sewing, he was moved, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not disturb her.

Afterwards, Jingura Hide returned to the room and first set the alarm on his mobile phone. Then he took off his clothes and jumped onto the bed in the same Husky diving posture as before.

"Sure enough, sleeping alone is the most comfortable and relaxed."

Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but mutter to himself, and fell asleep within two minutes.

Logically speaking, if he hadn't been woken up by the alarm, given the level of fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days, it would not be impossible for him to sleep until the second half of the night.

However, the fact is that the original beautiful dream turned into a "nightmare" unknowingly. In the dream, Jingpu Xiu was carrying two huge mountains on his back and felt increasingly out of breath.

As a result, I was woken up by the pressure before the alarm even rang.

Yes, when Iura Hideichi woke up and opened his eyes, he saw two little heads pressing on his chest. From the golden and purple hair colors, it was not difficult to tell that they were Kitagawa Umi and Hoshino Ai.

"These two guys can sleep in this position? Don't they feel uncomfortable?"

Iura Hide muttered softly, then carefully pulled out his right hand, which was sealed by Hoshino Ai and felt a little numb, and picked up the mobile phone next to him and took a look.

"Is it half past five already? It's almost time to get up and make dinner."

He turned off the alarm clock he had set earlier, and Iura Hide looked down again. He could only stare at the ceiling helplessly as Kitagawa Umi and Hoshino Ai were sleeping soundly with their heads resting on his chest.

As for the task of waking them up, after hesitating for a moment, he decided to leave it to Kiko.

If he doesn't get up after a while, I'm sure Jizi will come and call him.

"Speaking of which, after we finish recording the three songs for 'You Are the One', let's start writing 'My Sister', right? After all, I promised Ki-ko that, and it's been a long time."

"But it's okay when I'm reading it, but if I really have to write a plot like that with my sister, I'll always feel a little embarrassed!"

"And Haimeng and the others already know that Luffy is my pseudonym. What if they misunderstand me as a hentai after reading this and have some idea about Motoko?"

"How about just combining the settings and plots of "Oreimo" and "Eromanga Sensei"?"

"But if it's my stepsister, there's also Xiao Ai!"

"And there's already an 'Eromanga-sensei' in this world."

"Come to think of it, the Eromanga-sensei in this world wouldn't be a big guy who picks his feet, right?"

"She's been in the industry for seven or eight years, so it's obviously impossible for her to be Sagiri-chan."

Iura Hide first thought about it for a while, then tried to combine the plot and setting of "Oreimo" and "Eromanga Sensei" in his head, and then he gave up decisively.

If he arranged the music himself, he would still have some confidence. With the vision from his previous life and his own musical accomplishment, he would be able to tell whether the modification was good or not just by listening.

However, he was not at all sure whether the fusion novel was good or not, and whether it would be accepted by the majority of readers.

"I'll have to give it to Eriri to turn into a comic book later. It would be really embarrassing if the results are too bad."

"And Kasumigaoka Utaha, if my new work performs poorly, it will probably affect my image in her mind, right?"

"Genius. That's a really heavy word."

Just as Jingpu Xiu was sorting out his next "work plan", time unknowingly came to six o'clock.

Motoko was thoughtful and went downstairs to the kitchen in advance to prepare the necessary ingredients. She looked at the time and hesitated between doing it herself and going upstairs to wake up Iura Hide. In the end, she chose the latter.

After all, even if I don’t ask Jingura Xiu to cook, I will have to ask Jingura Xiu to eat later.

Now I sleep too much and can’t fall asleep at night, which messes up my sleep and rest schedule. What should I do?
As for the reason that she also wanted to eat the omelette rice made by Iura Hide, that only accounted for a small part.

"Onii-chan, it's time to get up~!"

A moment later, Kiko came out of the room and shouted while opening the door in front of him.

Then when she took her first look inside the room, she saw Iura Hide who had turned his head away, and Kitagawa Umi and Hoshino Ai who were lying on top of Iura Hide and were also woken up by the noise.

"."

Jizi couldn't help but pout, and her heart suddenly felt sour.

"Just go to sleep. It's not like you don't have your own room. Why do you always go to Onii-chan's room? And how can you sleep well with this sleeping posture?"

Jizi complained in his heart, but he couldn't help but reveal a look of envy in his eyes.

It was not until Iura Hide placed the first serving of steaming, delicious-smelling omelette rice in front of her that her originally unhappy mood finally improved a lot.

"Huh? The omelette rice smells different today than before?"

"Well, I didn't expect you to smell it. For the fried rice today, I specially added some beef rolls and mashed potatoes, and seasoned it with teriyaki sauce. The taste should be closer to beef teriyaki rice." Iura Hide explained with a smile.

"I think this is like being able to eat both omelette rice and beef rice, but I'm not sure if they'll taste good or not~"
