Chapter 289 Yoshikawa Yuki Asks for Leave

For example, Tsukimi Eiko.

She has been following the updates of Iura Hideo and had been waiting there with her mobile phone in hand long before the release of "Glimmer of Light".

As soon as "Glimmer of Light" was released, she chose to buy it immediately.

Then, after just listening to it once, I noticed that the number of paid downloads of "Glimmer of Light" had soared to 3200+, and there were already more than a hundred comments.

"Wow! Isn't the performance of Xiu's new song really amazing!?"

Seeing this, Tsukimi Eiko couldn't help but feel happy and envious. It took her several minutes to react. If the release time was changed to 0:, with such an amazing purchase growth rate, "Glimmer of Light" would definitely be able to directly land at the top of the daily list.

In this way, the more important weekly ranking will also be improved to a certain extent.

So after realizing this, she felt so sorry for Jingpu Xiu.

In addition, people like Hou Masaki, Kuon Nanami, Ijichi Hoshika, etc. are more sensitive to data rankings due to their own professions, so their reactions are similar to Tsukimi Eiko.

First I was happy that "Glimmer of Light" achieved good results, but then I couldn't help but feel sorry for Iura Shuu who wasted tens of thousands of paid downloads.

However, just as Iura Hide thought, because no big-name singers have released new songs recently, the popularity of the theme songs of the major April new anime has passed.

So even though it wasted more than 40,000 paid downloads, "Glimmer" still directly landed at the top of the daily list when Monday of the new week came, and occupied it firmly for the whole day, until it dropped to third place on the daily list on Tuesday.

It is also worth mentioning that since the songs "Sold Out", "If You Can Shine", and "Youth Syndrome" were able to achieve such good rankings even though they collided with the theme songs of major April new anime, many industry insiders believe that the weekly rankings of these songs are much more valuable than ordinary songs.

That is why they valued Iura Hide's talent so much and praised him as a rare high school genius student in ten years.

However, for Iura Hide, he didn't care much about the various praises from the outside world or the fact that "Glimmer of Light" achieved far better results than its previous life.

In comparison, Yoshikawa Yuki's sudden leave from school would make him more concerned.

"What? That girl caught a cold and had a fever? Wasn't she fine yesterday morning? How did she suddenly catch a cold and have a fever?"

Without waiting for the get out of class to end, Iura Hide noticed that Yoshikawa Yuki did not come to school and could not help but whisper to Hori Kyoko and Kono Sakura. Then he learned from Hori Kyoko that Yoshikawa Yuki had a "cold", which surprised him.

"That... I don't know either." A hint of hesitation flashed across Hori Kyoko's eyes.

When Yoshikawa Yuki called her this morning and asked her to help him ask for leave, she actually noticed that Yoshikawa Yuki's voice just sounded a little listless, and not hoarse and dry like a cold or fever.

So she guessed that Yoshikawa Yuki didn't really have a cold or fever, but was just worried and didn't want to come to school. As for the source of her worry, it was most likely Iura Hide.

Upon hearing this, Iura Hide frowned, then suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Ishikawa Toru.

"Yoshikawa has a cold and a fever!"

"I heard it."

Ishikawa Toru paused while taking notes and looked at Iura Hide in confusion.

Although he did not deliberately eavesdrop on the conversation between Iura Hide and Hori Kyoko, he could still hear it clearly because he was sitting so close.

But why did Iura Hideo deliberately say this to him?

"Yoshikawa lives with her sister. Today is Monday and her sister has to go to work. Given her personality of not wanting to trouble others, I guess she will definitely not let her sister take leave to stay and take care of her, so she is most likely alone at home now!" Iura Hide explained quickly.

However, after listening to this, Ishikawa Toru just frowned worriedly, and the confusion in his eyes became even more serious.

"so what?"

Jing Pu Xiu was slightly stunned at first, and then he complained speechlessly: "You are too slow! A beautiful high school girl has a cold and a fever and is alone at home, and urgently needs someone to take care of her. No matter which light novel or comic this is, it is a major event that advances the progress of love~!"

"Ahem! Romance progress!? Big event!?"

Ishikawa Toru couldn't help but widen his eyes and almost choked to death on his own saliva.

If you think about it carefully, what Iura Hide said seems to make sense. Whether it is in a light novel, comic, or film and television drama, when the heroine has a fever and is alone at home, and the hero goes to visit and take care of the heroine, these are all "big events" that advance the plot and bring the relationship closer.

But why did Jingpu Xiu tell him all this?
It can't be. It can't be that Iura Hide wants him to take care of Yoshikawa Yuki?
It's obvious that Yoshikawa Yuki likes Iura Hide!
At the same time, Kyoko Hori and Sakura Kono, who had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up, also coughed violently and could not help but look at Iura Hide with a "see a ghost" look.

The noise was so loud that it even attracted the attention of the history teacher, Gan Xia Kunami, who was sitting on the podium.

"Hey, hey, you guys, even if you don't want to attend the class, please don't make any noise and disturb others, okay!" Gan Xia Kunami said as she glanced at Iura Hide and the other three with a serious look.

Maybe it was because among the three of them, one was ranked second in the grade, and the other was ranked third, and even Jing Pu Shu had the status of a "big star", so she did not mention the names of the three.

However, after hearing what she said, Iura Hide quickly turned around, sat up straight, and took notes seriously. It was not until two minutes later that he secretly turned his head to look at Ishikawa Toru again, with a faint glimmer of "wisdom" in his eyes.

"Yes, Ishikawa Toru is a shy guy. If he were to go alone, he would definitely feel embarrassed."

Thinking of this, Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but whispered: "Why don't I take a leave with you and go see that guy Yoshikawa together!"

"Huh? You're accompanying me?"

"Ah, I said it wrong. You are the one who will accompany me and ask for leave to go see that Yoshikawa guy. Okay?"

Seeing the strange look in Ishikawa Toru's eyes, Iura Hide quickly changed his words.

To be honest, he originally didn't want to interfere in the relationship between Ishikawa Toru and Yoshikawa Yuki, but who made him snatch Hori Kyoko away?

In the original story, there was nothing wrong with Miyamura Isumi snatching Hori Kyoko, since Miyamura Isumi didn't know Ishikawa Toru before that.

But he and Ishikawa Toru are good brothers who have grown up together!
Although it was Kyoko Hori who took the initiative to like him, he still felt a little guilty.

In addition, Toru Ishikawa and Yuki Yoshikawa would have been together anyway, and Yuki Yoshikawa had a crush on Toru Ishikawa, and her crush was so painful and pitiful.

As a good brother, he should naturally step forward and help them both.

After listening to this, Ishikawa Toru felt something was wrong and scratched his head and said, "Can't you go by yourself?"

"Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for me to go alone~"

"."

Would a shy person talk about "shyness" like this?

Ishikawa Toru looked at Iura Hide who was smiling brightly in front of him, and he always felt that he seemed to be treated as a fool. "Do you have to ask for leave now? Can't you wait until after school?" Ishikawa Toru couldn't help but complain a little more in his voice.

If he was simply asked to visit the sick Yoshikawa Yuki, there would be no problem, but being "forced" to go by Iura Hide was another matter.

The most important thing is that Jingpu Xiu overlooked one point, that is, they are only in the second year of high school.

The relationship between Ishikawa Toru and Yoshikawa Yuki is good, but it is far from the level when they were in their senior year of high school and about to graduate in the original story.

Even Toru Ishikawa's mind is still entirely on Hori Kyoko.

If Yoshikawa Yuki were to confess her love to the current Ishikawa Toru, the current Ishikawa Toru would definitely refuse without a second thought.

However, Jingpu Xiu's subsequent words barely convinced him.

"Stupid, if you don't ask for leave now, Yuki will be alone at home and she's sick. What will she do when she eats lunch and takes medicine? What if, like in the TV show, she gets up to get food but falls down because she's dizzy and weak, and gets bumped?"

"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, okay? Then do you know where the Yoshikawa family is?"

"I don't know~ But the teacher has the address book, so I can check it and find out~"

"."

Ishikawa Toru sighed helplessly and could only accept his fate as he followed Iura Hide to the office after class. While asking for leave from Nikaido Yuri, he also asked for the address of Yoshikawa Yuki's house.

Then the two of them left school together and went to Yoshikawa Yuki's house. On the way, they went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for cooking porridge at the reminder of Iura Hide.

At the same time, Yoshikawa Yuki, who had taken leave due to illness, was lying on the bed alone, staring blankly at the pale ceiling.

The computer speakers on the desk played the sad melody of "Twinkle, Twilight" on repeat.

The slender arms were draped limply across the forehead.

There was no light in those eyes that were usually bright and energetic.

However, judging from the school uniform she was wearing, Hori Kyoko's guess was actually correct. The reason she took leave from school was not because of a cold or fever, but because she didn't know how to face Iura Hide.

Just like in the original story, after learning that Kono Sakura liked Ishikawa Toru, she felt that she was inferior to Kono Sakura in every way, so she didn't go to school for five days in a row, hoping to sever her feelings for Ishikawa Toru.

Finally, with the encouragement of her sister, she in the original story finally mustered up her courage and cheered up.

As for now
“Ding Dong~~~Ding Dong~~~”

The sudden ringing of the doorbell finally brought a glimmer of light into Yoshikawa Yuki's empty eyes.

She and her sister were usually not at home during the day, so who would ring the doorbell at this time?

“Is it a sales pitch?”

Yuki Yoshikawa naturally thought it was a door-to-door salesperson and never thought that anyone would come to see her. After all, she knew that she was not actually sick.

So when she instinctively drove her body to the video access control and saw the face that had been haunting her on the access control, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Huh? Show!?"

Poor Toru Ishikawa, even though he was standing next to Iura Hide and his face also appeared on the display screen of the visual access control, he was completely ignored by Yuki Yoshikawa.

It was not until the doorbell rang again that Yoshikawa Yuki finally came to her senses. She subconsciously grasped the murderer's shirt with both hands, and her heart was in a mess.

"Xiu Xiu, did he know that I was sick, so he came to see me?"

"But school isn't over yet?"

"Could it be that he asked for leave just for me?"

I don’t know why, but at this moment, Yuki Yoshikawa suddenly felt her nose sore and tears fell uncontrollably.

At the same time, Ishikawa Toru outside the door couldn't help but complain to Iura Hide: "Yoshikawa should have taken the medicine and fell asleep, right?"

"Well, maybe it is." Jingpu Xiu touched his nose awkwardly.

"So, why don't you just text or call and ask before you come?"

"I just want to give her a surprise. And calling or texting in advance will only bother her once more."

"What should we do now? And these ingredients we just bought——"

As Ishikawa Toru spoke, he shook the shopping bag in his hand, which made Iura Hide scratch his head again.

Yoshikawa Yuki, who was trying to control her emotions, burst into tears again after seeing the food in the hands of the two men.

Without waiting for Iura Hide and Ishikawa Toru to figure out whose house to go to play games next, they rushed out of the entrance and opened the door without even bothering to change their shoes.

Then, as both of them were stunned, she threw herself directly into Iura Hide's arms.

"Wait, did you attack the wrong person? That Ishikawa guy is over there?"

After several seconds, Iura Shucai came to his senses and couldn't help but point at Ishikawa Toru next to him.

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. After he said that, Yoshikawa Yuki, who was originally moved, felt an indescribable anger and grievance in her heart.

The combination of these three emotions made her raise her head suddenly. She didn't even bother to wipe the tears from her face. She just waved her little fist and hit Jingpu Xiu's fierce mouth hard.

"Damn Husky! Stinky Husky! Are you stupid, idiot, or have no brains!?"

Yoshikawa Yuki took a deep breath, then mustered up the courage to speak loudly: "The person I like is you! It has always been you!"

After hearing this, Jingpu Xiu was dumbfounded.

The person Yoshikawa Yuki has always liked is him? Does this mean he has never read the original manga and anime?

On the other side, Toru Ishikawa couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Yoshikawa Yuki's confession. Then his heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but have an idea.

If Yoshikawa Yuki could get Iura Hide, wouldn't there be another chance for him and Hori Kyoko?
