Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

He is a qualified father and a qualified son.

【Family is the most important thing.】

Not only did he say such cool words, he also did it, even twice.

It's as if for Tokyo's working men, work that is more important than life is a complete joke not worth mentioning.

Facing such a father, Hibiki Iruma now——

In any case, I have achieved some reconciliation with myself.

He is a traveler.

He will probably never forget his past family members in his entire life.

But at the same time, he is also a child of the Iruma family, and he will never forget what his parents taught him.

and--

In fact, like his father, he now has people to protect.

"ring."

"Ok?"

At this moment, Iruma Yoshiaki suddenly called Iruma Hibiki's name.

"If I say now that I don't support your early love, will you be angry?"

"what?"

Hibiki Iruma cried out in surprise.

Then he looked at his father in shock.

"Looking at your reaction, and then he was slapped on the head by Iruma Yoshiaki, I was worried that you would be deceived by some bad woman out there."

……

Iruma Hibiki wanted to retort.

This is pure insult to him.

But think about it carefully——

"Tsk, what's wrong with that? It's none of your business."

Afterwards, Iruma Hibiki chose to be stubborn.

"Have you really been deceived? Tell me about it, and I'll have a laugh with your mother later."

"..."

In short, with a smile, the previous things were slightly relieved.

The date for Iruma Hibiki to officially return to Tokyo has also been confirmed, next Wednesday.

Classes will resume on Friday.

On Thursday, Hibiki Iruma planned to spend a day to relax.

Speaking of which——

Iruma Hibiki looked at the calendar and saw that it was only Wednesday. In any case, the day when he would see Xiangzi again was getting closer, and Iruma Hibiki felt a little relieved.

It was almost noon, and lunch was served in Tsuki no Mori. Wakaba Mutsu was waiting for Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Suyo at the classroom door, holding his lunch box.

Anyone is fine.

She wanted to have lunch with someone.

Soon, Shoko Toyokawa walked out of her classroom. She had just arrived at school.

"Mu, do you want to eat together?"

She invited Ruoye Mu, and Ruoye Mu naturally did not refuse.

"Strange, isn't Su Shi coming today?"

……

Facing Toyokawa Shoko's question, Wakaba Mutsu glanced at Toyokawa Shoko's expression.

"Xiang."

"Su Shi is jealous."

"Eh?"

Then——

Wakaba Mutsu's words made the joy on Toyokawa Shoko's face disappear, and turned into a look of shock.

"Sushi was angry when she found out that Xiang and Xiang had spent the whole night together."

Wakaba Mutsu seemed to be talking to Toyokawa Shoko about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Did Xiaomu tell Sushi?"

……

Faced with Toyokawa Shoko's questioning, Wakaba Mu was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Xiang doesn't want Su Shi to know."

Then——

Wakaba Mu asked back.

After all, no matter what, at that time, when Shoko Toyokawa said to Mutsu Wakaba, "Hibiki was with me last night," didn't she also have a hint of boasting in her tone?

"It doesn't matter if people find out."

Toyokawa Shoko said.

"But Xiao Mu, you shouldn't be the messenger between me and Su Shi."

38 When Wakaba Mu is angry, he is very talkative

"Ah."

Wakaba Mutsu nodded to Toyokawa Shoko.

"And Mu, you probably didn't tell Su Shi—"

"Ah."

Before Toyokawa Shoko could say anything, Ruoye Mu nodded impatiently.

"Xiang, I didn't say anything."

Then she spoke softly.

When saying this, Wakaba Mutsu seemed to have a hint of expectation, and this expectation was also noticed by Toyokawa Shoko.

"Mu?"

So Toyokawa Shoko asked Wakaba Mutsu with a hint of doubt.

"Xiang, don't you even want to tell Xiang?"

Then, Ruoye Mu asked back as a matter of course.

Hiding this from Xiang is painful.

She wanted to tell Toyokawa Shoko that she didn't want to continue hiding her secret, but if Toyokawa Shoko didn't agree, Ruoye Mu couldn't do anything about it.

"I……"

Toyokawa Shoko's tone was initially calm, but after a strange pause, she looked at Wakaba Mutsu with some anger.

"How can I confess to Hibiki?!"

She shouted at Ruoye Mu angrily.

The sound is a bit loud.

……

When facing the angry Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsu became a little flustered and didn't know what to do.

she was--

"Xiang..."

Just kept repeating Toyokawa Shoko's name.

Wakaba Mu felt a little unfamiliar with Toyokawa Shoko being so angry. In her memory, she had never seen Toyokawa Shoko angry with her.

"I'm sorry, Mu, I was angry with you."

However, Toyokawa Shoko quickly suppressed such emotions.

"But it's all your fault, Xiaomu."

-

Then, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and looked seriously at Wakaba Mutsu who was standing there, as if she was looking directly at the doll in her room.

"Doesn't Xiao Mu know about what happened before?"

"do not know."

Wakaba Mu turned his head away.

Her answer made Toyokawa Shoko even angrier.

"Xiao Mu, are you trying to make me angry on purpose?"

"Xiang..."

Finally, Shoko Toyokawa lost some of her patience with Wakaba Mutsu, and she acted as if she would turn around and leave the next moment.

"There's a lot going on, and I don't understand it."

Wakaba Mu lowered her head and looked at the light green lunch box in her hands. She looked a little pitiful, and Kazuma was completely unaware of this.

"Mu knew about it at the previous party, right? I..."

Toyokawa Shoko's voice became smaller and smaller.

But Wakaba Mu only needed to hear the word "party" to roughly guess what Toyokawa Shoko was referring to.

"Xiang won't laugh at Xiang for those things."

"Mu, can you please stop talking about this?"

When Wakaba Mu still wanted to hold on, she felt the coldness coming from Toyokawa Shoko.

At this moment, Ruo Ye Mu knew that no matter what, her efforts today were in vain, and she gained nothing except angering Toyokawa Shoko.

"Mu..."

However, after that coldness, Toyokawa Shoko could not remain so indifferent towards Wakaba Mutsu.

It's not just because she still needs Ruoye Mu's help to keep it a secret.

Also because the person she was facing was Wakaba Mutsu.

"..."

This time, Wakaba Mutsu did not respond to Toyokawa Shoko. He just stood there with his head down, and a sad look was clearly on his face.

Wakaba Mu's happiness is always shallow.

Sadness is always deep.

She is always misunderstood and always seems sad and serious.

Never been happy.

"I'll take care of these things, trust me, okay? Mu?"

Finally, when they arrived at the courtyard, Toyokawa Shoko said this to Wakaba Mutsu.

"Ah."
