Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

Then Ijichi Hongxia took out an eraser and erased the words on the paper.

The two of them were actually quite close from the beginning, but the A4 handouts were difficult to read otherwise, so naturally—

This action continued until the end of get out of class.

During this time, Iruma Hibiki was distracted and looked at Ijichi Kouka's profile several times.

He usually sat behind her and had no idea that Ijichi Hongka had this expression when she was studying seriously.

After class, Ijichi Hongxia was the first to stretch and let out a sigh of relief.

With her somewhat large movements, Hibiki Iruma was slightly pushed to the side.

At this moment, the eraser on the table fell to the ground, and Iruma Hibiki subconsciously bent down to pick it up.

"Thank you."

When he picked it up and looked up again, Ijichi Hongxia was organizing her notes.

"Xiang, this is the course content for this period. I have numbered each day."

"Sorry to bother you, Hongxia..."

"It's not a problem. Thanks to Xiang, my grades have improved a lot recently. Xiang shouldn't fall behind. If you don't understand something, I may not be able to help much, but I will tell Xiang what I know."

"If we encounter a problem we don't understand, can we study it together or ask the teacher?"

"Ah."

Iruma Hibiki nodded, agreeing with Ijichi Kouka's words.

"Speaking of which..."

At this moment, Iruma Hibiki paused.

"Ok?"

Ijichi Hongka waited for Iruma Hibiki's next words with a hint of curiosity.

"So this is what it feels like to sit in Hongxia's seat."

Today, Hibiki Iruma moved her desk to the front and merged it with Ijichi Kouka's, so she was in a position she didn't usually stay at.

"Eh? Is there anything special about my position?"

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly asked this.

When asked this question, Iruma Hibiki didn't know what to say, so he began to stammer.

"Ah! Really, don't just tell half the story!"

As expected, Ichichi Hongxia soon came forward with an unwilling look on her face.

But she was gentle and didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she planned to just skip the topic.

After all, if Hibiki Iruma didn't want to say it, she didn't want to force him.

"Ah, no, it's just..."

But at this moment, Iruma Hibiki had no intention of stopping.

Or perhaps he realized that what he was going to say next was a little strange.

But I subconsciously wanted to say it out loud.

"that is?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked.

The expression on his face changed into his usual smile.

While tidying up the desk, she rolled the eraser crumbs into a small ball, and then kept flattening it, rolling it into a ball, flattening it, and rolling it into a ball, repeating this action.

"Hongxia, didn't you always look back during class?"

"what!"

When this was mentioned, Ijichi Hongxia screamed in surprise.

"Wait! That's Hibiki!"

She tried to explain quickly and frantically.

"The reason I didn't say it directly just now is probably because... well... I felt it was a bit inappropriate to say so..."

Iruma Hibiki then continued to explain.

After all, no matter what, he is the only one who can be seen from this position, and it would be too narcissistic for him to say it himself.

Iruma Hibiki already regretted starting such a topic.

"Because Xiang always makes people worry!"

Ijichi Hongxia explained with a hint of panic in her tone, perhaps subconsciously trying to use her responsibilities to cover up her hesitation.

"Look, Hibiki, you're always staying up late, sleeping in class, and so on, so it's only natural that I'd worry about you getting picked on by the teacher."

"Feel sorry."

Iruma Hibiki chuckled and responded to Ijichi Nikka.

He didn't expect to get an answer from Ijichi Hongka.

"Ah...it's nothing worth apologizing for..."

Then, the topic ended with Ijichi Hongka in a lovely silence with her head down.

"But, Hibiki, you noticed..."

"Well, because of my position, if I look forward, I can only see your back. It's hard not to notice you."

"This, this is it..."

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the empty seat next to Iruma Hibiki.

She remembered that when school just started, she felt inexplicably insecure because of this incident, as if the place was an uninhabited restricted area where wild animals might break in.

Then Hibiki came.

Naturally, you will care a little more, right?

Thinking about this, the smile on Ijichi Hongxia's face became a little brighter.

"The next class is math, so Xiang shouldn't move back. We have to go through the math handouts together anyway, right?"

"Ah."

Iruma Hibiki nodded.

At the table where the two of them were sitting, the students next to them had already made way for the aisle, allowing this row of tables and chairs to be closer to the window than the previous row.

When the get out of class was over, the air conditioner in the classroom was turned off and the windows were opened for ventilation for a while.

The cold wind from outside the window blew into the classroom.

"I always feel like Xiang seems to be thinking about something today."

"Have it?"

Hibiki Iruma, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, turned his gaze away because of Ijichi Kouka's words.

"Yes, yes."

Then when he looked at Ijichi Hongka, he saw Ijichi Hongka staring at him with her head propped up.

"I just think...it's nice to go to school...things like this."

Iruma Hibiki said this.

"Actually, before this, I hated school."

When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see reflections of his junior high school, elementary school, and kindergarten days.

That was the most painful period he had ever experienced.

Junior high school is relatively better.

After all, you have a "pet" to accompany you.

Of course, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to call it a pet, but Goto Ichiri’s positioning is probably somewhat similar.

"It's great that Hibiki likes school, but classes are really hard. I envy Ryo for having the courage to skip classes whenever he wants."

"If Hongxia hadn't come, I would definitely have died."

Iruma Hibiki said this exaggeratedly.

"Ugh……"

In response, he was met with a sigh from Ijichi Hongka.

Yes, ordinary Tokyo people usually don’t say this, everyone is somewhat reserved, but Iruma Hibiki is different.

It seems that speaking frivolously is his nature.

As a result, Ijichi Kouka, who understood this matter, was more or less overly tolerant and doting on Iruma Hibiki.

Naturally, you will feel a little happy because of such confession.

"No, even if I'm not here, you have to study hard. After all, isn't Hibiki's dream to go to the University of Tokyo? You have to study hard."

"If Hongxia wasn't here, I wouldn't come to school."

Iruma Hibiki said this jokingly.

"Absolutely not!"

As expected, he received a somewhat harsh response from Ijichi Hongxia.

"Hiroshi, you have to study hard! And if you don't go to school without me, what will happen to you when you get to college?"

"Then Hongxia and I can take the entrance exam for Tokyo University together."

……

"Kidding."

When Iruma laughed, he noticed a flash of daze on Ijichi Hongka's face.

"Ah...it's really..."

Then Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

"Higashi, you've been too mean today. And you can't just say things like that to anyone. Hibiki will be misunderstood as a bad person."

"But it's great."

With a relaxed tone, Ijichi Hongxia stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom and I'll be right back."

Then she fumbled around in her desk, pulled out some toilet paper, waved to Hibiki Iruma, and skipped out of the classroom, heading straight for the front of the corridor.

"Cheer up, Goto-kun!"

Kita shook Goto Ichiri's shoulders in an attempt to bring her back to consciousness.

The two were on their way to Shimotaka, and surprisingly, the train on a weekday was still a little congested at such a quiet time.

Goto Ichiri went from being extremely excited and full of confidence at the beginning to feeling as if he was about to face the end of his life, and he fell ill and could not get up in this train car.

"Look! We're almost at Senpai's school!"

Kita supported Goto Ichiri and took out the map on his mobile phone. Indeed, only a small section of the green line representing the itinerary was left.

The estimated time of arrival is just a few minutes away.

"Are we there yet?"

Suddenly, Goto Ichiri came to his senses.

"We're almost there."
