Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

"I will return."

Then she agreed to this with Takamatsu Deng.

"Everyone, are you all packed? I need to go check out of the room."

On the side, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly reminded.

It is indeed time to leave and end.

After the final confirmation, everyone set off on their journey home.

"I'll take the lamp home."

As he walked towards the Ring door, Hibiki Iruma suddenly thought of this.

"Ah."

And Takamatsu Deng quickly stood beside Iruma Hibiki obediently.

"I'll do the same, since I'm on the way there too."

Nagasaki Suyo was actually lying, but at this time, Iruma Hibiki would not expose such a lie.

"Then I too..."

Shiina Riki is the one who least wants to be left behind.

But for Ruo Ye Mu, the moment he stood at the door, this possibility disappeared.

There was a car parked at the door of Ring. It was obvious that the driver of the Ruoye family had been waiting for Ruoye Mu for a long time.

"..."

The atmosphere fell into awkwardness.

And Iruma Hibiki also felt a little guilty about this.

"Mu, be careful on the road. See you tomorrow."

So he took the lead in saying goodbye to Wakaba Mutsu.

"See you."

Fortunately, Ruo Yemu did not feel reluctant to leave, and did not even look back.

But after getting in the car, she stared at Iruma Hibiki and his group and Ring for a long time through the glass that prevented people from seeing inside from the outside, until everything disappeared from her sight.

"call--"

Iruma Hibiki took a deep breath and probably felt a little depressed, but he quickly cheered up. The cucumber that Ruoye Mu gave him was quite heavy, and it felt a bit heavy to carry.

"Is this how Xiangzi and Xiang brought the lantern home together before?"

"Ok!"

Takamatsu Deng happily responded to Nagasaki Suyo's question.

"Eh—so something like this happened."

"But... Xiangzi is not here now..."

Such inquiries naturally made Gao Songdeng feel a little sad.

"It's okay, Deng, don't we still have us now?"

At this time, Shiina Riki quickly interrupted the conversation.

Whenever something is related to Toyokawa Shoko, Shiina Riki can never remain calm.

Even she herself felt that this was not right, but she could not control her inner anxiety.

"Well, but it would be best if Xiangzi were here too."

"That, that..."

In front of Iruma Hibiki, Takamatsu Deng hesitated slightly, his eyes evasive, as if he wanted to say something but didn't have the courage.

He kept staring at Hibiki Iruma and then turning his head away.

Iruma Hibiki was also a little confused by Takamatsu Touma.

"What's wrong? The light?"

He asked, but his question at this moment seemed a little wrong.

He always felt that Gao Songdeng seemed to be expecting something like a tacit understanding between the few people.

Then - Reimu ⒎ 敏巴气锋

Takamatsu Deng took the initiative to step forward and held Iruma Hibiki's hand.

When Nagasaki Suyo was about to speak, she pulled Nagasaki Suyo back, and then she breathed a sigh of relief happily as if her goal had been achieved.

"This way... we won't be separated."

Then she spoke with some force.

"Hey……"

At this time, the only one left, Shiina Riki, complained weakly, and her face was helpless at first.

[We're almost high school students, do we still have to walk hand in hand like little babies? ]

She wanted to say that.

But it was obvious that there was another reason, and then jealousy emerged.

Takamatsu Deng habitually uses a lot of force when holding hands.

Hibiki Iruma could feel the weight of it.

And on the other side——

Toyokawa Shoko also clenched her palms tightly.

There were several suitcases in front of her.

She's leaving here.

At this moment, the only thing that can make her feel at ease is probably recalling the feeling of holding hands with Iruma Hibiki.

Just no matter what.

Holding hands with yourself, you cannot feel the heart and warmth.

Nor will you feel happiness.

That's poison.

A poison that only makes you sadder.

"If it's Li Xi's turn, just hold my hand."

"Aha?"

Nagasaki Suyo took the initiative and grabbed Shiina Riki's hand.

Just like that, Hibiki Iruma found himself in a situation that everyone envied, and he set out on his journey home.

only--

There was nothing special about holding hands with Gao Song① Lingyin Qishilingjiuji Jiuba Deng, it was just natural and had happened before.

However, there was another person beside her.

From the very beginning, Nagasaki Suyo had been entangled with him with their fingers intertwined.

Hibiki Iruma actually struggled.

Just before the struggle.

Nagasaki Suyo had already held it very tightly and couldn't let go.

[Hiroshi, what time does practice end tonight? ]

Toyokawa Shoko lay on the bed, waiting for a reply from Iruma Hibiki.

At this moment, on the bridge where the two first met, Gao Songdeng paused for a moment, and the four of them just looked at the flashing light under the bridge.

Iruma Hibiki was trying his best to divert attention.

only--

Without realizing it, he was actually getting too close to Takamatsu Touma and Nagasaki Suyo.

In a dark room.

Toyokawa Shoko hugged herself.

There was only coldness.

There was no hint of cold feedback.

For Nagasaki Suyo, the gentle embrace of Iruma Hibiki's side at this moment brought a sense of warmth like an electric shock.

18 Games with Goto Ichiri and Kita

But is it all really worth it?

A string of sarcastic small words appeared on Iruma Hibiki's computer screen. The snowstorm had ended, and the game had also come to an end. He opened his mobile phone and stretched deeply.

It's 11 o'clock now, and it's almost time to go to bed.

Tonight's gaming time felt a little unfamiliar to him. After all, Goto Ichiri was not here, and many games were completely unfun to play alone. So he chose a single-player game that he had seen but never played in his previous life.

He also couldn't be sure whether the games in the two worlds were similar, or whether the same name meant the same content.

Anyway, after the intense fight, he gave the game a bad review.

Pochi-chan is really going a bit too far...

"Yeah, sorry... If I don't play games at night, I don't know what to do. We haven't been rehearsing lately, so..."

The chat with Goto Ichiri on the phone stopped here.

Perhaps the reason why Goto Ichiri will be absent tonight is that she, as a yinjiao, has been too obsessed with computer games in the past few days.

In Hibiki Iruma's memory, Goto Ichiri's gaming time probably increased by more than 30 hours in just this week?

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit excessive.

However, although he and Ijichi Nijika persuaded Goto Ichiri together.

but……

With a hint of worry, Iruma Hibiki opened the group chat of the band.

Kita probably had the most subtle reaction after learning about this.
