Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

However, for Goto Ichiri, after she opened Nagasaki Motoyo's homepage, she understood one thing, that is, perhaps, Iruma Hibiki is different from her, and the so-called lover may not be lying.

"That's it..."

Gradually, the smile on Goto Ichiri's face disappeared, and her hands dropped slightly until she could no longer see the screen of her mobile phone.

Then she sat on the floor and buried her face in her knees.

"wrong!"

But it was only a few seconds before Goto Ichiri came back to her senses. She thought of the "friend rental" that she had been attracted to on the Internet before, which means that as long as she paid money, she could get the special service of a temporary friend.

But then——

"Mom, my sister has locked herself in the closet and ignored me since she came back."

At 4:20 p.m., most of the students at Xiu Gao were immersed in the joy of club activities. There was still a long time before the sun set, and the day was bright and clear, so they had enough time to take a walk in the nearby park, or to meet someone they liked by the riverbank.

But for Ichiri Goto, today is her Black Friday.

"Ichiri, are you okay? Did something happen at school?"

Soon, with Goto Jiri's tip-off, the Goto family became turbulent.

The voices of Goto Ichiri's father and mother gradually rang out from outside the closet, followed by the barking of the puppy.

It was a little noisy. Under normal circumstances, Goto Ichiri would have climbed out of the closet long ago and then get some necessary social interaction from the rare care at home.

but--

At this moment, Goto Ichiri couldn't hear anything.

She stared at the picture on the computer screen in a daze.

Around the afternoon, a photo was updated on Nagasaki Suyo's account.

Goto Ichiri has unilaterally followed every person who frequently appears under Iruma Hibiki's account. Of course, although he said this, in the past, there were very few people who would follow and reply to Iruma Hibiki.

Therefore, Goto Ichiri’s follow list only has a single digit number of people.

But at this moment, she probably wished that she had never had such a habit.

In Nagasaki Suyo's account, she updated a photo in which a hand that was obviously a boy was gently holding a girl's hand.

There are dozens of words of blessing below——

In the second week of high school, Goto Ichiri suffered a unilateral breakup.

And now there are still 8 months until Christmas.

38 The band did not die in love

"I'm so sorry, Ijichi-san. We agreed to go together after school and have dinner at Fanxing, but I broke the promise."

When he arrived at Fanxing, Hibiki Iruma was a little out of breath. He had just run a little fast. After all, although he had agreed to work part-time today, there was no strict start and end time. Hibiki Iruma was a little worried that he would be late and embarrass Ijichi Hongxia.

But actually he is pretty fast.

When he arrived at Fanxing, the three people in Fanxing were eating today's employee meal.

"Oh, that was unexpectedly fast. It's okay, Iruma-kun."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled at Iruma Hibiki, then put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.

In fact, she had almost finished eating and was ready to get busy. The Livehouse still needed to be prepared in advance before the performance, and various equipment also needed to be checked to prevent any accidents during the official performance.

"Are you happy, Iruma-san?"

Perhaps with a hint of envy, Ijichi Hongka walked up to Iruma Hibiki and asked softly.

"Yeah, I'm pretty happy..."

"So next time, if something like this happens again, it's okay if you spend more time with Nagasaki-san, Iruma-san. The part-time job here is very flexible. Just make sure you don't make mistakes during the busiest time."

In fact, today, Hibiki Iruma was supposed to come to Fanxing with Nikka Ijichi to start her first part-time job.

But there were some small accidents along the way -

Just as Iruma Hibiki walked out of the school gate, he saw Nagasaki Suyo, who seemed to have been waiting at the gate for a long time, playing with her hair and tapping the ground with her toes.

In her hand was a lunch box wrapped in soft goose yellow cloth. She looked like she had been waiting for a long time, and her face looked a little lonely.

But the moment he saw Iruma Hibiki and Ijichi Nikka walk out of the school gate, the loneliness disappeared like darkness in light, almost in an instant.

"Takashi, Iruma-san, Ijichi-san."

"Oh! Hello! Nagasaki-san."

"Good afternoon, Nagasaki-san."

Recently, it seems that Ijichi Kouka has also started replying with "Takaan" in her chats with Nagasaki Motoyo, while Iruma Hibiki has chosen to keep it as it is.

After all, Gui'an is the so-called term used by young ladies. If he were to use it, it would definitely become extremely strange.

But Ijichi Hongxia is just right for it.

"Nagasaki-san is here to look for Iruma-san, right? Well, Iruma-san, I'm going to Fanxing first. Bye, both of you have fun!"

Almost immediately, Ichichi Hongxia made her decision.

She smiled happily and waved to Iruma Hibiki and Nagasaki Motoyo.

Then he ran and jumped for two steps, looked back, blinked his right eye at Iruma Hibiki, and then ran away.

In fact, this Friday was not what Ijichi Hongka had planned.

She should teach Hibiki Iruma about her part-time job, and then formally thank Hibiki Iruma for everything he has done for her so far when the part-time job is over.

If Hibiki Iruma had not found Soyo Nagasaki, Nijichi Kouka would never have made up her mind to form a band.

I will always linger at the band's door with all kinds of concerns.

If you think about it carefully, she has actually been taken care of by Iruma Hibiki in many aspects. It was clearly she who said she wanted to form a band, but now more things are being done by Iruma Hibiki and Nagasaki Soyo.

For this reason, Ijichi Hongxia planned to take advantage of today to find a quiet moment alone to express her gratitude to Iruma Hibiki and have a good chat about their future plans.

But now it seems that this plan has failed.

Ichichi Hongxia walked a little further away.

The distance between the three people is about 800 meters at this moment.

Ijichi Nijika is 800 metres from Iruma Hibiki, while Nagasaki Suyo is 799 metres away.

In the distance, she saw Iruma Hibiki shyly extend her hand, and then gently hold Nagasaki Suyo's fingertips.

Yes, they are in a romantic relationship.

So it's natural that they would go on a date before work, and when one of them is hungry, the other will prepare breakfast for him.

Fanxing’s work meals are actually not that delicious.

It's a far cry from the food that's cooked with care.

Only after she thought she had completely disappeared from the sight of Iruma Hibiki and Nagasaki Soyo did Ijichi Nijika put away the bright smile that always adorned her face.

-

Just like now, facing Iruma Hibiki who was panting and rushing to Fanxing to work part-time to fulfill his promise.

Ijichi Hongxia felt a little guilty.

"Actually, it's okay if you come a little later, Iruma-san. Where's Nagasaki-san?"

"She went back."

In fact, the time that Iruma Hibiki and Nagasaki Soyo were alone was only a little over an hour.

Afterwards, Nagasaki Suyo took the train back to Ikebukuro.

Calculating the time, she should be home in twenty minutes.

"Ijichi-san, what exactly are the tasks for tonight?"

"Hmm? I see. I'll tell you later."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled and put aside her troubled thoughts.

"Tonight's work will be similar to the other day, but the difference is that Iruma-san might be in charge of the entire front desk. Is that okay?"

"Well, it's okay. I already had a pretty good understanding of the front desk job when I was working with Yamabuki-senpai and Ijichi-san."

Iruma Hibiki didn't know if it was his own illusion.

Or perhaps it was a kind of doubt he had about himself.

It is natural for people to have some intuition about other people in their daily interactions, that is, to make judgments about others based on their subconscious mind at first sight.

This kind of judgment is often inaccurate, but it will definitely happen, and sometimes it will have miraculous effects.

Just like at this moment, Iruma Hibiki felt that Ijichi Kouka seemed to have some concerns about something, but he was worried that he was wrong.

After all, Ijichi Hongka looks like the kind of girl who can always laugh. Does she also have her own concerns?

Iruma Hibiki thought so.

But soon he realized his mistake.

"What time does Ijichi-san get off work today?"

Hibiki Iruma asked.

"Iruma-san, you can leave at 10 o'clock. As for me, I might stay to finish up. Of course, it's okay if you leave earlier, Iruma-san."

Yidizhi Hongxia responded in a gentle tone, but there was a hint of evasion in her eyes.

Iruma Hibiki also confirmed his thoughts.

Hong Xia, who always smiles, does have something to worry about at this moment.

"It's okay. I'll be with you until the end, Ijichi-kun."

For this reason, Iruma Hibiki could only roll up his sleeves and put on an energetic look to see if this performance could make Ijichi Hongxia feel more at ease.

39 Poor Newcomer Performance

Today, Fanxing was hosting a performance by a newly formed high school band. After the busiest time had passed, Iruma Hibiki also had some free time to watch the performance in the performance hall.

Ijichi Hongka and the PA lady were still busy, but Ijichi Hoshika, like Iruma Hibiki, was in charge of the beverage counter and her attention was now fully focused on the performance of this new band.

Hibiki Iruma's understanding of music is actually something he developed only recently.

Before this, although he couldn't be said to be tone-deaf, the only thing related to music in his life was probably occasionally listening to music while walking with headphones.

In other words, he has recently begun to be able to slightly distinguish between good and bad performances.

For example, even he could hear something wrong with the performance of the band in front of him. Although he couldn't put it into words, there must be a problem.

Soon, the audience in the audience also confirmed Iruma Hibiki's idea. Many of them showed a lack of interest, and even two girls in the corner had started playing with their mobile phones.

Some people even chose to quit midway.

I don’t know if it was because of the problem with the atmosphere, but the lead singer’s voice on the stage trembled noticeably. Although he quickly returned to normal, the mistake at that moment was too obvious.

A flickering cold light lit up on the stage. Ms. PA's professionalism was unquestionable, and the song reached its climax.

"what do you think?"

Ijichi Hoshige came to Iruma Hibiki's side without her knowing when.

Unlike Ijichi Hongka, Ijichi Hoshige looks like a serious and intellectual woman on the surface, and she and Ijichi Hongka are a pair of women with quite a big contrast.

"Performance?"

Iruma Hibiki withdrew his gaze a little and looked at the face of Ichichi Seika beside him.

"Well, this show."

"I can hear some discordant and inappropriate parts, but overall, it's pretty good..."

Iruma Hibiki's answer was somewhat reluctant.

Ultimately, he doesn't think he's reached the point where he can comment on other people's performances.
