Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

Page 283

Suddenly someone asked this from behind Iruma Hibiki.

"Ah, yes."

After subconsciously letting out the same cry as Goto Ichiri, Iruma Hibiki turned around.

The person who called him was a woman wearing a well-fitting suit.

"Please come with me."

She spoke softly, making a hint to Hibiki Iruma, who, perhaps understanding the style of the entire performance venue, followed her into the backstage.

Later, in a simple reception room, Iruma Hibiki saw Sanjiao Hatsuka, who was "fully armed", sitting on the sofa.

Mitsuka Hatsuka was so beautiful tonight that Hibiki Iruma even had the illusion for a moment that the woman in front of him was not a high school student of the same age as him, but an excellent artist.

The image that Sanjiao Chuhua created on the stage was just this mature, with a hint of coldness, and he just sat there quietly.

"Good evening, Hibiki."

"good evening."

After a simple greeting, a smile appeared on Sankaku Hatsuka's face, while Iruma Hibiki was actually a little nervous and at a loss.

The person just now should be Sumimi's agent.

Wouldn't it be okay to do this at this time?

At the end of the day, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit messy for artists and authors to have a relationship.

Or--

Iruma Hibiki frowned, slightly worried about the current situation.

In the final analysis, regarding this somewhat collaborative performance, his biggest concern was the impact it would have on Triangle Chu帬〓(七)年八〤伍四琉８⒎Nihua, and—

Putting aside other things, if we were caught meeting like this, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Even Hibiki Iruma, who didn't know much about idol groups, felt a little uneasy about what was happening, but Mikado Hatsuka in front of him still maintained her usual smile.

"Did Xiang contact Xiangzi today?"

After the greetings, the first topic was naturally about Toyokawa Shoko.

"No."

"We haven't been in touch for a long time."

Iruma Hibiki responded.

There was some noisy noise coming from outside the door, and Iruma Hibiki gave a wry smile.

To some extent, Sanjiao Chuhua was putting him on the spot at this moment. As for the reason...

unknown.

"Isn't Xiang worried about Xiangzi now?"

"Somewhat."

Hibiki Iruma answered softly.

Of course there are more than just some.

But very worried.

But what if I’m very worried?

Iruma Hibiki thought of the moment of parting and Toyokawa Shoko's face which gradually became hard and cold.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

In front of Iruma Hibiki, Sankaku Hatsuka put away her cell phone.

"My willfulness is almost at its end."

Then she showed a slightly playful side, and Iruma Hibiki also saw that Sankaku Hatsuka's agent looked a little distressed at him.

Obviously, his existence did cause some trouble to others.

Faced with such a thing, Iruma Hibiki sighed helplessly, looking at the three-cornered Chuhua in front of him with a deeper confusion.

"I guess I didn't cause any trouble for Hibiki-kun, did I?"

When they were about to leave, Sanjiao Chuhua asked this.

"No."

And Iruma Hibiki sighed and shook his head.

Then he stood up helplessly and pretended to leave.

"Are you just concerned about Xiangzi's affairs?"

Iruma Hibiki muttered to himself as he left.

His confusion mainly lies in the fact that Sankaku Hatsuka cares about Toyokawa Shoko. In fact, Iruma Hibiki can't understand why he is so obsessed with one person.

Then he opened his phone and flipped forward. The earliest chat history was actually still there. Iruma Hibiki found the chat between him and Toyokawa Shoko at the very beginning, when Crychic had just started.

At that time, their chats were always frequent and unrestrained.

We chatted all day long, from daytime to early morning, as if there was no break.

Shoko Toyokawa doesn't know how to shop at a convenience store.

Shoko Toyokawa has no common sense.

……

Hibiki Iruma was so engrossed in his conversation with Shoko Toyokawa that he almost forgot about the time. When he came to his senses, the show was already in the second half.

In the end, he chose to check his ticket and enter the venue.

Sumimi's performance is about to begin, and the memories of Shoko Toyokawa should end here for now.

16 Invitation from Ichichi Hongka

[Don Quixote is more of a heroic piece of literature than a satirical one, right?]

Iruma Hibiki responded after some time had passed.

Heroic literature?

There was a hint of doubt from the other party.

"Ah, I see. Did you find some of yourself in Don Quixote?"

……

Faced with such a response, Iruma Hibiki fell silent.

He couldn't answer such a question.

Yes, perhaps, only losers can see the heroism in Don Quixote, but in the eyes of successful people, this literature is essentially a satire.

The show ended faster than expected.

Afterwards, Sanjiao Chuhua still had a lot of things to deal with, so they didn't make another appointment after it was over.

For Hibiki Iruma, this made things a little easier.

"Is the Hibiki performance over?"

When leaving the performance venue, Iruma Hibiki received a call from Goto Ichiri.

The streets were quite lively at this moment. Under the street lights, bustling crowds of people were crowded on the streets.

"ended."

Iruma Hibiki responded to Goto Ichiri on the other side and breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt a sense of security when chatting with Goto Ichiri.

"There's just something strange going on."

"Strange thing?"

"Nothing special. How about you over there, Ichiri? Have you finished your work after returning home?"

"Yeah, it's done."

Goto Ichiri responded, carefully hiding in the closet.

On her computer screen at this moment was the group chat of the band ending.

Above, Ichichi Hongxia suggested whether we should get together for this matter.

How about inviting Hibiki from Pochi-chan? 】

Ijichi Hongxia asked her this.

"Would you like to come to Fanxing after Xiang? Hongxia said we should get together..."

Goto Ichiri conveyed it truthfully.

And Iruma Hibiki spoke without any hesitation.

"Okay, no problem. When?"

"Ah, I have an appointment with Hong Xia..."

"Then I'll trouble you, I'll also tell Hong Xia."

After finishing this topic, Iruma Hibiki also walked to a relatively quiet street lamp.

"How do you feel after coming back from Yili?"

Hibiki Iruma stared at the street lights in the distance in a daze, feeling a little relaxed and letting his mind go blank.

At this time, Iruma Hibiki received a letter from Sankaku Hatsuka:

The performance went smoothly, and the feedback afterwards was also very good!

Iruma Hibiki was silent for a moment after reading the message, and then he realized that he did not seem to send a congratulatory message to Sankaku Hatsuka at the first time.

【Congratulations on the successful performance.】

【Sorry I was busy just now and didn’t reply to you immediately. 】

【It doesn't matter. 】

【I'm very happy if Xiang can reply to me. 】

……

Facing Sankaku Hatsuka's reply, Iruma Hibiki once again felt a strange feeling.

He always had the feeling that their relationship was actually at a very strange point.

"ring?"

Goto Ichiri on the other end of the phone asked with some concern because of the small pause.

She knew more or less what Hibiki Iruma was going to do after he came back, and Hibiki Iruma also knew hers.

So she was worried that her phone call would disturb Iruma Hibiki's plans.

"Ah, nothing, just something weird happened to me."
