Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

Page 238

He had just put on his clothes and pants, so there shouldn't be anything inappropriate about him.

Wakaba Mutsu shook his head, then called Toyokawa Shoko in front of Iruma Hibiki, and the result was the same.

When the repeated reminder sounded, Wakaba Mu heard Iruma Hibiki sigh.

"Xiangzi, haven't you paid your phone bill?"

He frowned in thought.

His face was filled with all kinds of worries.

Ruoye Mu stared at his failed call in a daze for a while.

"I tried it again, and it's still the same..."

Then Iruma Hibiki tried to call Toyokawa Shoko again.

But the result is the same.

……

Iruma Hibiki frowned as he couldn't figure out the situation, his worry finally reaching its peak at this moment.

"Mu, when I spoke to Xiangzi before, it ended on a very unpleasant note."

Finally, Hibiki Iruma chose to confess to Mutsumu Wakaba.

"Xiangzi..."

"If anything goes wrong, it's my fault."

Then he said this distressedly.

"Is Hibiki going to see Xiang?"

Suddenly Ruo Ye Mu said this.

"What is the solution?"

However, Hibiki Iruma did not question the issue of doing this, but instead asked Wakaba Mutsu.

Yes, if possible, he wanted to find Toyokawa Shoko right now to confirm it on the spot——

No reply to online messages.

I can't get through to the phone either.

This situation is really too serious.

Ruo Ye Mu thought about it for a long time but couldn't find any answer.

"Did Xiangzi tell Mumu where she would move to? Or is there any similar news or clues? In fact, I might... as long as I have some information, I should know how to find someone whose address is unknown..."

Iruma Hibiki said bitterly.

That's not bragging.

Rather, it was a real experience in which he felt sad for Nagasaki Suyo because he got lost in Ikebukuro.

In the dark hotel corridor, after taking the clothes to the washing machine and drying room, Tatsuki Shiina sat on a chair in the laundry room and fell into a daze.

Did she just see Wakaba Mu enter Iruma Xiang's room?

Are these two people in such a relationship?!

In an instant, Shiina Riki's brain suddenly upgraded to an era.

It's as if ancient apes learned to use fire.

Of course, Wakaba Mu was also completely unaware of such things. She even heard about Toyokawa Shoko moving from Iruma Hibiki.

Toyokawa Shoko didn't know when it started, but she stopped saying anything to her.

Interactions at school also became more about Nagasaki Suyo staying by her side.

And on Nagasaki Suyo's side——

She just wanted to know about Toyokawa Shoko in order to win back Iruma Hibiki.

Wakaba Mu knew exactly what she was planning.

After thinking it over again and again, Ruoye Mu finally shook his head.

"Xiang, if you want to go to Xiangzi, I'll come with you."

……

She was just stating her decision.

"It's not good for Mu to go out dressed like this."

Iruma Hibiki suddenly said.

"I'm going to change clothes."

"Why don't you just stay here and I'll go find Xiangzi. I'll keep in touch with you anytime. What do you think?"

Finally, Hibiki Iruma gave up and decided to sit and wait for death.

Things are a little unusual tonight.

……

Wakaba Mu was silent for a while, then looked at Iruma Hibiki.

"Do you think I'll cause any trouble?"

She asked.

"how come."

Naturally, Iruma Hibiki's answer was the same.

"Then I'm going to look for Xiang too."

In front of Iruma Hibiki, Wakaba Mutsu expressed his decision for the first time.

She looked at Iruma Hibiki cautiously to make sure that after she announced her decision, she would not be annoying to others and would not go beyond her own framework.

"Then Mu, go change your clothes. I'll go look for some clues, and then we'll meet up downstairs."

"Ah."

Wakaba Mu nodded.

And Iruma Hibiki quickly prepared to leave.

Just as he packed up his things and was about to leave, he bumped into Shiina Riki at the door.

"What are you doing? Where are you going?"

Shiina Riki looked at Iruma Hibiki curiously, and tightened the clothes basket in her hand.

It contained her underwear, which was a rather childish style, so she didn't want anyone to know about it.

"I'm having trouble contacting Xiangzi, so I and Mu are planning to go look for her."

Iruma Hibiki said this.

"Where is Xiangzi?"

And Shiina Riki quickly woke up and escaped from his previous terrifying thoughts.

She was already thinking about how she would deal with the cheating Hibiki Iruma next.

But as expected, everything was just her delusion while she was in heat. In fact, it was just the two of them worrying about Toyokawa Shoko.

"Well, about Xiangzi, because I said terrible things to her and made terrible decisions last night, now I—"

Iruma Hibiki said this, feeling a little anxious.

"Is there anything I can be needed for?"

Shiina Riki also became serious at this moment.

She overheard the previous conversation.

Combining what you hear now, it does make up a terrible situation.

Naturally, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

"Lixi, you..."

"I definitely won't be able to sleep if I go back to sleep now. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll go with you."

……

Shiina Riki said this seriously, looking reliable at work.

And Iruma Hibiki thought for a moment.

"Well, Lixi, you can come too, but Xiangzi might..."

"I'll wait outside until you've finished your business. By the way, Xiang, can you lend me your room to store my things? It's better not to involve her with the lamp."

So before Wakaba Mutsu was ready, the team looking for Toyokawa Shoko became three people.

54 Xiaoxiang the Worker

A taxi broke the tranquility of the night. In the back seat of the car sat Wakaba Mutsu, Iruma Hibiki and Shiina Tatsuki side by side.

On the Internet, Hibiki Iruma began to look through a series of recent content such as Shoko Toyokawa's blog, trying to find some contact information about her residence.

On the other side, Wakaba Mutsu was constantly trying to contact Toyokawa Shoko.

We said we were going back, but the time agreed with the driver was Ikebukuro.

Although Shiina Riki knew the situation was critical, he still looked at the taxi quote with concern.

After all, although she had pocket money and a part-time job, she was not rich enough to afford to take a long-distance taxi.

Of course, what Shiina Riki is worried about now is something else.

Although I was suddenly filled with worry, but in the end...

Shiina Riki may have limited concern for Toyokawa Shoko, and he just wants to help the anxious Iruma Hibiki at the moment.

She was observing Hibiki Iruma's movements from her side. Hibiki Iruma was staring at his cell phone, which was stuck on the last chat between him and Shoko Toyokawa. The phone would go off from time to time, and would be opened again from time to time by Hibiki Iruma.

"maybe--"

So Shiina Riki couldn't help but speak.

"Toyokawa just fell asleep and forgot to pay her phone bill. Don't worry too much."

She said this, trying to comfort Iruma Hibiki.

"Yeah, I think that might be the case."

And Iruma Hibiki responded softly.

"But this matter itself is very strange to Xiangzi..."

"and……"

Hibiki Iruma thought carefully about his recent experiences.

"I don't know if Mu has noticed that Xiangzi has changed a lot recently..."

Hibiki Iruma looked at Mutsushi Wakaba who was beside him.

Was there a faint smile on Ye Mu's face? From the very beginning?
