Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

I think we should strive for it.

With bitterness in my heart.

Perhaps Toyokawa Shoko also felt a shameful joy during her absence.

She looked at Hibiki Iruma's face.

It was a rather handsome face. In fact, she had seen many handsome men in magazines and comics, and had also fantasized about her own love affair.

At least Iruma Hibiki only has a handsome face, which would not appear in her childhood dream of love. At least he has to be the most handsome guy in the world.

This is what Shiina Riki once thought.

But those fantasies have now dissipated.

Of course, the current fantasy is just a delusion.

then--

She was angry.

All the emotions came together, and Shiina Riki didn't know what to do and could only get angry.

He opened his mouth wide and breathed out, questioning someone else or himself.

I secretly used a small mirror to check my dark circles.

Last night, when she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, she planned to get up and look at the arrangement, but when she opened the thick book, she only thought of Iruma Hibiki accepting her gift.

As he thought about it, his chaotic thoughts, sleepiness, excitement, and the upcoming training camp with Hibiki Iruma turned into some kind of strange situation.

She passed her hand through the elastic band of the white pudding—

Until I lost consciousness and fell asleep.

Qixi Festival Extra 3 White Moonlight's Stealer

Hibiki Iruma took the coin from Ichiri Goto's hand.

The two of them maintained this strange behavior for a long time, but they maintained it without saying a word. Perhaps compared to the money given itself, this kind of connection actually far exceeded the value of what was given.

In fact, Hibiki Iruma did not take advantage of Ichiri Goto. Every time Ichiri Goto treated him to a drink, he would give back more in other forms.

Without saying a word, Iruma Hibiki came to the vending machine, and with a hint of melancholy and contemplation, she subconsciously wanted to press the button for the jelly coffee on the vending machine.

That was his favorite drink recently, and he didn't know what Goto Ichiri liked to drink, but he subconsciously bought the same one for her every time.

but……

This time is different.

Goto Ichiri's hand appeared in front of Iruma Hibiki's fingertips, just blocking the fingers he wanted to press down.

This action was too sudden, too strange, and too unlike Goto Ichiri, so Hibiki Iruma turned around in surprise and looked at the figure in pink sportswear who always followed behind him.

Perhaps, perhaps this moment is special to Hibiki Iruma.

His junior high school life was like stagnant water, boring, but suddenly it was like a beam of light shining in, the floating dust it brought up sparkled in the sunlight, and his heart, which had long been dark and full of cobwebs, suddenly became bright.

"Choose juice, good boy juice."

Goto Ichiri.

The timid girl with social anxiety suddenly came in front of Iruma Hibiki and pressed the button of Good Boy Juice twice in a row.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, a carton of 125ml Goodbaby Juice appeared in the pickup area shortly afterwards.

"Ah good……"

The sudden change made Iruma Hibiki unable to react for a moment.

In front of him, Goto Ichiri was staring at him closely, his face slightly flushed, with some anticipation, and there seemed to be a hint of mist in his eyes.

【what happened? 】

Facing the scene in front of him, Hibiki Iruma felt a little strange.

It was even weirder than the first few years, when I realized I had been reborn as a child.

The bell for class gave Hibiki Iruma more time to think about this strange thing.

It's time to go back to the classroom.

"Hiroshi, let's go back to the classroom."

"what?"

By the time Iruma Hibiki came to his senses, Goto Ichiri was holding his hand and running in front, while he was following behind in a daze. When they were about to reach the classroom door, Goto Ichiri turned around and glanced at him.

What kind of expression is that?

With longing, yearning and joy, along with a blush on her cheeks and a hint of shyness, she smiled at Iruma Hibiki.

……

Iruma Hibiki was in shock for the entire class.

He wrote Goto Ichiri's name many times in his notebook, and then observed his deskmate many times.

What happened to her?

Why……

The Goto Ichiri during the break just now was not the little girl who always followed him silently before, but——

Speaking of which...

[Actually, Goto-san is very pretty and cute, even though she's not the heroine, but...]

No?

The moment this thought came to mind, Iruma Hibiki couldn't take his eyes off Goto Ichiri in front of him.

He didn't listen to a single word of what was taught in the class or what the content was. His head was full of thoughts about Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri's change also surprised the other people in the class.

Then——

【It turns out there are such beautiful girls in the class. 】

This kind of thing was suddenly noticed by everyone.

And Iruma Hibiki gradually became the target of public criticism because... facing the other boys' advances, Goto Ichiri stood in the crowd and rejected them one by one.

strangeness.

Too strange neighbor - dream (two) 9 years old 5 clothes 1 pick up 1 strange.

Perhaps other people would not find this strange, but Iruma Hibiki, as the person who knew Goto Ichiri best, felt inexplicably strange.

When Goto Ichiri impatiently dealt with all the boys and came to him, Iruma Hibiki actually felt a little scared at the first moment.

"Xiang, I came from another time. You must understand what I'm saying."

Goto Ichiri spoke affectionately into Iruma Hibiki's ear.

The tone was sweet and full of affection.

"I'm your heroine."

"In the future we will be husband and wife."

"About ten years from now."

……

During the break of the second class, the unwilling boys took childish revenge on Iruma Hibiki and Goto Ichiri. Their names were written under the matching umbrella on the blackboard.

After returning to the classroom, Hibiki Iruma didn't care about such things.

Even at first he didn't realize what the combined umbrella was.

It wasn't until the teacher came in and got angry when he saw the drawing on the blackboard that Hibiki Iruma realized that this was bullying to some extent.

The culprit was punished in front of the whole class.

He was subsequently asked to apologize.

until--

When the person to be apologized to was Goto Ichiri.

"I like Xiang!"

……

"My lover is Hibiki Iruma!"

……

"what……"

Hibiki Iruma quickly stood up and stretched out his hand, trying to stop Ichiri Goto who was making the terrifying declaration and confession.

He stood there in a daze.

Then he saw Goto Ichiri, whose face was flushed, standing in front of him.

……

Yes.

He believes in time travel.

Also believe in the future destiny.

Because he experienced it personally and suffered from it.

He did not resist what Goto Ichiri said.

and--

[Is my wife the girl in front of me? ]

While Hibiki Iruma was thinking this, in front of the whole class, as if to prove his confession, Ichiri Goto leaned forward slightly.

Yes.

Bullying has its limits.

For a guy who only needs one person, the whole world is his.

Umbrella with matching shape.

But it was just an opportunity to confess——

Hibiki Iruma's first kiss was taken away.

It tastes very sweet.

Goto Ichiri smelled delicious, just like the fragrance of begonias blooming on the streets of Shanghai in Hibiki Iruma's memory.

High school.

the University.

Wedding at Disneyland.

Hibiki Iruma was never separated from Ichiri Goto again.

Until their children were old enough to go to junior high school.

Suddenly one day, the elderly Goto Ichiri said to Iruma Hibiki:

"Hibiki, actually, in the future, there are many girls who like you, but since I traveled back in time, I have you all to myself."

Gently holding onto Hibiki Iruma's shoulders and wrapping her hands around his neck, Goto Ichiri, who was left with only pudding left on her body, bit Hibiki Iruma's ear and clung tightly to him, waves of joy and comfort eroding her every limb.

"One mile is all I need."

Iruma Hibiki responded.

I just treated this matter as a little uncertainty for my wife, who, although she had grown a lot and was no longer the socially anxious little girl, still had an inferiority complex deep in her heart.

And this time, he chose Goto Ichiri with certainty——

This was the wife who accompanied him in his most important and brilliant life, and this was the wife who turned that painful, tangled, twisted dead child into a real man.
