Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

Finally, Iruma Hibiki got angry.

Severely reprimanding Nagasaki Suyo at this moment.

"Sound! Xiangyi, she just..."

"Isn't it Sushi?"

"Eh?"

"I……"

Nagasaki Suyo wanted to say something.

But there are some things I can't say.

"At that time, at the beginning, when we were dating, didn't Su Shi confess to me with other intentions?"

69 A relationship that shouldn't have ended

For Hibiki Iruma, no matter how many sweet things he and Shoko Toyokawa had experienced, he would probably never forget the first day, the afternoon when he met Soyo Nagasaki.

The girl, sitting at Ring's second table, held up a teacup filled with deep reddish-brown tea, gently pinched the handle of the teacup, took a sip, and then gave him a faint smile.

That was something Hibiki Iruma would never forget.

but……

That's it.

If before this, Iruma Hibiki had a good impression of Nagasaki Soyo, then after what happened just now, it has fallen to the bottom.

The reason why he maintained his composure at this moment and did not shake off Nagasaki Soyo's hand was simply because Iruma Hibiki did not want the quarrel at this moment to lead to a breakup.

But it doesn't look like it.

Nagasaki Suyo came here with the intention of breaking away from the old ways.

Why is this happening?

Iruma Hibiki showed a bitter expression.

Yes, perhaps the relationship between him and Nagasaki Suyo was not quite accurate from the beginning.

There is absolutely no reason to separate, but they are not lovers and will never be lovers again. However, they have the relationship of ex-girlfriends and see each other every day in the same band.

So, this is the result we have today?

No?

……

Hibiki Iruma remained silent.

"No, Xiang, I wasn't like that at that time. Please listen to my explanation, okay?"

"I know that Xiang was indeed injured at that time."

“But I’m sad too.”

“I cried at that time, too.”

Nagasaki Suyo began her struggle and crying.

"I also felt lonely and sad because I broke up with him. I stayed in bed alone and was sad for a long, long time."

"please."

"Hibiki, will you listen to my explanation?"

“I’ve actually always liked Hibiki.”

"It makes me sad to see Hibiki dating someone else."

"I didn't intervene before because I was trying to support Xiang and forget about the past, but I still like Xiang very much."

"Sent a message to Xiang today as well."

"When I think about Xiang and Xiangzi doing it, I feel so uncomfortable..."

"I'm really sad, Xiang, do you know? I'm so sad that I don't know what to do, so I couldn't help but talk to Xiang and confirm it..."

"What is the relationship between me and Xiang now?"

“I think about that all the time.”

……

"Su Shi, my lover is Xiangzi."

"As for us, we can be best friends, bandmates, and lifelong friends, but we won't be lovers."

Iruma Hibiki responded to Nagasaki Suyo.

In fact, perhaps—

at some point.

The moment I saw the strong Shoko Toyokawa.

Iruma Hibiki has also grown a little bit.

"No."

"I don't want this."

Suddenly, Nagasaki Suyo knelt down in front of Iruma Hibiki.

"Hibiki, please, let's go back to the past. I'll do anything."

……

Has Nagasaki Suyo made up her mind?

Iruma Hibiki didn't know.

But he knew that the situation couldn't get any worse.

Not only are his love affairs never smooth sailing, they also have terrible subsequent chain reactions.

Until finally, even existing relationships could not be maintained.

"Su Shi, what you said before about my secret, was it a threat?"

Hibiki Iruma asked.

There was some indifference in the tone.

"Eh? I'm not..."

At this moment, Nagasaki Suyo also changed her words.

"I just like Xiang, so I said that."

"Su Shi, there's no way I'm breaking up with Xiangzi."

Iruma Hibiki tried to pull her hand free and turn around, but Nagasaki Suyo squeezed her hand too tightly. She failed the first time, and then the second time.

It wasn't until the third time that Hibiki Iruma pulled his hand away.

"I don't know what kind of mood Su Shi is in when she tells me this, but I think it's better for you to calm down now."

"As for me, I can't be a lover with Su Shi anymore."

"But I never wanted to break up with you, Sushi... or even stop being friends."

"Besides, Su Shi, do you really want to be in love with me?"

Iruma Hibiki asked Nagasaki Suyo in front of him.

Yes.

Even so.

He also hopes to be able to salvage the relationship between the two to some extent.

Nagasaki Suyo made the wrong decision, but if he continued to follow Nagasaki Suyo's willful behavior, it would only make everything more troublesome.

……

Facing Iruma Hibiki, Nagasaki Suyo just knelt there.

"Get up, Sushi, the floor tiles here are very cold..."

Iruma Hibiki said to Nagasaki Motoyo, then turned around and started packing his things.

Nagasaki Suyo just stood there in a daze, without any reaction.

Until, Iruma Hibiki made a gurgling sound while dragging the suitcase.

"Su Shi..."

When he arrived at the door and saw that Nagasaki Suyo still hadn't moved, Iruma Hibiki sighed helplessly, put down the suitcase, and then looked at Nagasaki Suyo behind him.

"Are you not planning to continue your journey? Or do you intend to stay here?"

He asked.

There was a hint of a defiant smile on his face.

……

Finally, in front of Iruma Hibiki, Nagasaki Suyo stood up and followed without saying a word.

Yes, that's fine now.

Nagasaki Suyo needs to be calmer.

And he-

Iruma sighed and looked at the chandeliers and decorations on the ceiling of the hotel.

We do need to think about it calmly.

What to do next?

In fact, Iruma Hibiki didn't quite know.

He was just looking forward to meeting Toyokawa Shoko in the evening, and he had already contacted his family and told them he would not be going home tonight.

Just hold Toyokawa Shoko, hug her tightly and smell her scent.

It should be more or less easier.

Iruma Hibiki kept talking, and a look of deep fatigue appeared on his face.

Behind him, Nagasaki Suyo had no expression on her face.

As we entered the elevator, Hibiki Iruma suddenly said:

"Su Shi, take a good rest after this..."

“Don’t make decisions too quickly.”

"Su Shi...it's easy to do things because of your emotions..."

"Then……"

I thought of the painful Golden Week that I experienced.

Iruma Hibiki sighed.

The elevator also reached the first floor at this moment, where there were three people waiting for him.

Will the performance in a week really go smoothly?

It was not until this moment that Iruma Hibiki realized that for him, perhaps... even this feasible goal suddenly became a little illusory.

What should he do?

What if Crychic can't even have a relatively good ending...

Shoko Toyokawa probably expressed her special expectations for this matter.

This is also part of his promise.

Iruma Hibiki was worried.

But such worries are useless at this moment.
