Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

The other half, probably because of the previous agreement -

【Let’s perform together again after we come back. 】

Such an agreement.

[I don't know, but I should be back soon. Hong Xiaxia, can you keep this a secret for me? Don't tell anyone else.]

[Eh? Sure.]

A smile appeared on Ijichi Hongka's face.

19 Absolutely Nothing

Interpersonal relationships are always complex, difficult, and full of friction and pain. If you want to be happy in them, you may have to not have any expectations from the beginning and not desire for intimacy.

But for some guys, they are complete cowards and will be hurt even by touching cotton in interpersonal relationships.

Ijichi Nijika actually also felt some subtle emotions from Chihaya Aine.

Because she felt that Chihaya Aine's attitude towards coming back was actually strange.

Because of what?

-

In the world that Ijichi Hongxia knows, the only answer she can come up with is probably the agreement made when the band disbanded. Is it because of that?

Ijichi Hongka pursed her lips slightly, staring blankly at the profile picture of Chihaya Aine on her phone, who looked no different from an old woman.

She wanted to find someone to talk to about this topic.

but--

Who can talk to her about this topic?

Is it ringing in the room?

She probably couldn't do that until she found the answer to her question, and lately, Hibiki Iruma seemed to dislike the topic of the band.

So who's left? The original band?

Nagasaki Suyo?

Even more impossible.

Her relationship with Nagasaki Suyo is now just a greeting.

I'm far from being someone who can talk about this topic.

So……

What's left?

The band of several people at that time...

Ijichi Hongxia couldn't find the answer to the problem, and she had no one to talk to about the new troubles she was facing. For a moment, for some reason, Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

"It would be nice if school started."

She said this suddenly.

"What are you talking about Hongxia?"

At this moment, Ichichi Xingge suddenly turned around.

"Eh? Sister? When?"

"It's time to get off work now."

After being reminded by Ichichi Hoshige, Ichichi Hongxia realized that the lights were already on.

"Oh no! Today's clothes haven't been collected yet!"

Looking at Ichichi Hongka who rushed to the balcony, Ichichi Xingge showed a worried expression.

Actually——

She has also been concerned about the topic of young people recently.

Because no matter how you look at it, the current situation seems like everyone is having a quarrel.

It's very strange and awkward.

But for Ichichi Xingge, she just noticed it but didn't know how to intervene.

When Ichichi Hongxia finished her work, Ichichi Xingge suddenly spoke at the dining table:

"Hongxia."

"Drinking is prohibited."

"Sister, you have important work to do tomorrow."

Kan Ijichi Hongxia stood in front of the refrigerator with a serious expression, and Ijichi Xingge sighed again.

"It's nothing like that."

She responded silently, a serious smile suddenly playing on her lips.

"I mean, Hongxia, do you want to go on a trip? We haven't gone on a family trip since then."

"Eh?"

Ijichi Hongxia stood there in a daze.

I don't know how to respond to what the person in front of me said.

It would be better to say that such a proposal is too unfamiliar and too sudden.

Ijichi Hongxia was completely unprepared.

To be honest, there is actually such a scene in my memory. It was a night a few years ago, a day when it was snowing a little in Tokyo.

At the dinner table, Ijichi Hongxia's father suddenly said:

"I announce that next week, our family will be taking a family trip to Hokkaido!"

If you want to see snow, Hokkaido is definitely more suitable than Tokyo.

Ryukyu is suitable for surfing, while Hokkaido is suitable for skiing. As for Tokyo, although it has everything, its climate is not good at all, not to mention Hokkaido's more famous sweet love in winter.

-

"Why so sudden?"

"Because I just thought of it."

Ichichi Hoshige said this.

"Over there with the stars..."

"I'll start making arrangements this week. I'll let PA-san run the store alone, and if I can get that guy over to help, it should be fine."

Ichichi Seika made a gesture of shaking a wine jar.

Probably hinting at something.

Knowing her purpose, Ijichi Hongxia thought for a while before taking out a can of Asahi Beer from the refrigerator and handing it to Ijichi Xingge.

Although Ijichi Xingge's enthusiasm for alcohol is far from the extent that he cares more about beer than the game that he has worked so hard on during the earthquake.

But I still like it.

It's just that I don't drink it often since my mother left.

However, Hiroi Kikuri was a complete surprise. After realizing the cruelty of society and interpersonal relationships, she became a complete alcoholic, making people worry all the time whether she would drink too much one day.

"Well, where are you going, sis?"

Ichichi Hongxia agreed.

"However, if it's the end of the holiday, it might not be possible. If we need to leave, how about next week? Of course, sister will be fine."

"Do you have any plans for the end of the holiday?"

Ichichi Hoshige asked with narrowed eyes.

pat-

She opened the beer can with one hand, then stared at Ijichi Hongxia in a trance.

"Well, maybe we'll have another show with Pochi-chan and the others."

"Didn't you say before that you weren't planning on performing during the holidays?"

Ichichi Xingge vaguely remembered that Ichichi Hongxia had said this, so she asked with a hint of doubt and uncertainty.

"That was the plan before."

“But the ringing came back, so I decided to give it a try.”

……

Looking at Ichichi Hongxia's appearance, Ichichi Xingge took another sip of wine.

Then after a slight silence, nothing was said.

"what happened?"

After a while, perhaps because she felt strange being stared at, Ichichi Hongxia asked back. She felt that her sister was really weird today.

There is always a kind of——

As if trying to see through her worries.

This emotion is a little heavy.

The reason why she felt so heavy was that Yidi Chi Hongxia also had some little secrets of her own that she didn't want the people in front of her to know. Of course, maybe it wasn't accurate to call them little secrets, they were just some things that she herself couldn't find the answers to.

About relationships, about music.

About the future——

In this regard, Yidizhi Hongxia is actually a little dreamless (eight)⒊Drunk and drunk QiIX Wu Ba is a little envious of Xiduo.

[Goto-san, are you dating Iruma-senpai? ]

And at the same time.

When Kita was chatting with Goto Ichiri, she suddenly asked about this topic.

There was silence on the other end of the message for a long time.

I don’t know if he didn’t see it or was suddenly busy.

Or maybe it's simply escape.

【No! Absolutely not! 】

Soon, Goto Ichiri sent a reply.

In her closet, she looked like she was about to die.

Because they had just started talking about Hibiki Iruma, she spoke a little more unconsciously.

20 After the breakup, he became her and she became him

"Long time no see Shiina."

In front of Shiina Riki, Iruma Hibiki seemed to have become the same as when they first met.

People look different in different places, perhaps because a branch never breaks in the hands of a chameleon.

At least in Shiina Riki's opinion, Hibiki Iruma is actually two completely different people when he is working and when he is in the band. Of course, when he is in love, that is the third kind of person.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Shiina Riki answered. The sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling for her who had stayed up late, and she couldn't look directly at it.

After all, nocturnal creatures can never bear the hustle and bustle of the day.

At this moment, Shiina Riki was avoiding the sunlight and looking at Iruma Hibiki in the dark, as if trying to find the answer from his face.

She had so many things to ask.
