Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

"So, Ijichi-san, why did you decide to name your band "End"?

But at this moment, Hibiki Iruma was actually concerned about something else.

In fact, things like bandages are rarely used in daily life, right? Although they are very convenient, they are indispensable consumables in some special industries and in the hands of people who are good at handicrafts.

But for ordinary people, are there many people who would keep bandages at home?

At least Hibiki Iruma only knew that such a thing existed, but he didn't always have it at home, and he had used it only a few times.

Therefore, he was very concerned about the purpose of Ichichi Hongxia choosing such a so-called band name.

Or in fact, when choosing the word "strap", Ijichi Hongxia had already answered most of the questions.

"Maybe it's because they hope everyone can walk onto the stage as if they were tied up with straps."

Ijichi Hongxia answered with some seriousness.

There seemed to be some deep emotions in his honey-colored eyes. He stared at Ichichi Hong⒏氵Rin Kumei Nanaju Vba Ling Moeka's eyes for a while, then lowered his head.

"Yes, it will definitely be like this."

He answered softly.

Ijichi Hongxia's answer just now was very serious. Obviously, the name of the band "End" was not a sudden idea of hers, but it had been going on for a long time, no matter if it was a month or two months, a year or two years.

Ijichi Hongka's band will definitely be called the End Band.

Something as ordinary as a bandage becomes more than just a bandage when someone places their feelings on it.

Modern industrial products are always extremely cheap, but it is precisely because of this that human emotions have weight.

Therefore, for Hibiki Iruma, when Nikka Ijichi expressed her thoughts, he would only choose to support her.

What's more, he himself is actually bad at naming.

When I was preparing my own novel, the names of the protagonists in the book were all made up on the spur of the moment.

The settings and place names are all made by taking some strange words and then changing them into an obscure niche language and then transliterating them back, using a bunch of incomprehensible katakana to deal with them.

That's pretty much the extent of his talent for naming.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about it for a long time and finally decided to use "Iruma Renjian" as his pen name.

Of course, these are all things for later.

At this time, the attitude displayed by Iruma Hibiki finally put an end to the matter, but it was obvious that Chihaya Aine still did not give up.

"Iruma-san, do you think the name Tokyo Aine is really bad?"

"Ha ha……"

Iruma Hibiki laughed dryly twice.

In fact, he originally thought Chihaya Aine was joking.

But it was obvious that he was totally wrong in thinking so.

"It's just a little too much like a store name, so it feels more like a store than a band... I think it's a good ending for the band, um... The only problem is that the Chinese character for 'bandage' has a different meaning in Chinese."

Iruma Hibiki's words obviously attracted the attention of the other two people.

"Another meaning?"

As for the unwilling Aiyin, she seemed to still be determined to fight for the name.

Yes, until now, she seemed to have not realized that her taste in names could actually be described as a disaster. For Iruma Hibiki, although he was also bad at naming, when faced with a name like "Tokyo Aine", he was just like a 4-hour veteran player in Hearts of Iron 1000 looking at the parade of the newbies.

48 Ending the band and disappointment

"The kanji for 'bind' or 'bond' means 'end' in Chinese."

Hibiki Iruma played with the pen in his hand.

He gently raised the pen, blocked Ichichi Hongxia's eyes with it, and then gently played with it up and down.

The reason for doing this is very simple.

This is how Dean Akiyuki Shinbo and his outstanding patient Nisio Isin collaborated, and later created the scenes in the first episode of the Monogatari series of animation that shocked Hibiki Iruma.

The topic he was talking about at this moment was similar to that time.

But at that time, Araragi Koyomi and Hanekawa Tsubasa were talking about "Kurogi", and Hanekawa Tsubasa's answer was that the so-called Kurogen is a civil engineering term in Japanese, which can be literally translated as fence or stockade. In civil engineering, this term is used in the design of walls, guardrails and the like.

The word "end" proposed by Ijichi Hongxia is actually more complicated.

"Of course, the word 'end' can be understood as a single word in Chinese, which is the so-called 'jie' and 'bu'. 'Bundling' is a translation that is actually very suitable for the use of bonds. It is also a perfect way to describe something using function and verbs."

"But this is just one way of understanding the word 'end'. The Chinese character '結', when used in English, carries the meanings of 'join, bear, build, judge, circle, take up with', and so on. When the two characters are put together, they have a more universal meaning in Chinese, which is 'the end'."

"So unexpectedly, besides the superficial meaning of 'bond', this name also has another, somewhat rock-like connotation in Chinese? If I ever get the chance to perform in a Chinese-speaking environment in the future, I think it would be more interesting to literally translate it as 'ending the band'."

Hibiki Iruma added another sentence.

Then his cosplay was over.

The reason he said this was very simple, probably because he wanted to subtly persuade Chihaya Aine to persist.

Yes, the band can be called anything.

Chihaya Aine is the captain, so he can listen to her in everything.

But the only thing he absolutely cannot do is to call the band Tokyo Aion. As long as the band is not called Tokyo Aion, he will do anything.

"As expected of a writer, you're amazing! Iruma-san!"

Ijichi Hongka meant her praise seriously.

"But I never thought about ending it at the beginning. It always seemed a bit cruel, like ending the band..."

"Maybe it can also be understood as the feeling that we will form a band together for the rest of our lives, until the end."

After Ijichi Nijika showed a distressed look, Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and comforted Nijika in a joking manner.

"lifetime?"

Chihaya Aine's reaction was a little exaggerated.

Apparently she hadn't actually experienced the atmosphere in the band before she came.

"Isn't that what Chihaya-kun thinks? It would be a very happy thing if the band could be together forever."

"Haha... maybe..."

Chihaya Aine smiled awkwardly.

"But, it's more important for everyone to have fun together right now."

In the end, she told Nagasaki Motoyo about her plans.

And Nagasaki Suyo also frowned secretly because of this.

This expression is actually very subtle.

But during the previous photo shoot, Iruma Hibiki, who was still a little concerned, caught it.

It would be better to say that he was very good at observing others, and the change in Nagasaki Soyo's expression at this moment was no secret to her at all.

"Yes, my sister also said that it is more important to have fun now."

Ijichi Hongxia was probably not that happy when she responded.

But I'm just not that happy.

For her at this moment, as long as the band can move forward and she can move forward, even a little bit is valuable.

Even if Chihaya Aine leaves the band in a year, not even to the farthest Kagoshima, but leaves Japan, we may never meet again.

After all, in Tokyo, it is actually normal for students to go abroad and never return.

It is said that most people who were able to stay out never returned to Tokyo.

"Well, let's all work hard together. We're almost done for today. I'll be going home after dinner. See you next week? Rehearsals are always on Saturday afternoons, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"and many more!"

Just at this moment, the topic of a lifetime, which had just been dealt with, was suddenly interrupted by Nagasaki Suyo, and the last moment of the party, which had become somewhat relaxed.

In fact, for her, the topic just now was not a joke at all.

But it's the confession on April 4st, such as those stupid questions like if I confessed to you at that time, would we be together?

What seems like an ordinary joke to you is sometimes the result of another person mustering up the courage to carefully try and explore.

Because he is a coward.

To use a game analogy, it is a cowardly mushroom that will not attack normally and will not attack even if a zombie walks up to its face.

And for Nagasaki Suyo, such a thing——

"Don't we have another rehearsal midweek?"

As if she was anxious about something, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly mentioned it nervously.

"Chihaya-san, are you free midweek?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked.

Ijichi Hongxia had actually heard a lot about the high school department of Daikokumori. It was generally considered a less busy junior high school. It was better to say that the atmosphere of the lower high school was the exception among all schools.

Of course, in exchange, the high admission rate and deviation value are actually considered to be better among all schools.

Of course, it can't be compared with a college for young ladies like Tsukinomori.

"In the middle of the week, um..."

Chihaya Aine fell into silence.

Actually, if you ask her whether she has time, she probably does.

But after school every day, in addition to hanging out with her classmates, she actually has the habit of following the videos of a blogger named Miao Meng every day.

If she were to participate in band practice, her past life might be disrupted, and Chihaya Aine was somewhat reluctant about this.

"Forget it if there's no time."

Ijichi Hongxia spoke quickly.

"Come to think of it, I'm always unsure about the rehearsal time on that day during the week. Sorry, Nagasaki-san and Iruma-san!"

On Ichichi Hongxia's side.

For her part, she can understand people who are unexpectedly busy during their student days.

To her, Chihaya Aine has become someone with some hidden secrets just like her.

So her apology was actually an excuse for Chihaya Aine.

"The practice schedule for that day midweek depends on your availability, Chihaya-san. I'll try to let you know a day in advance."

And Iruma Hibiki, who was standing by, was the one who came up with a solution to this problem in the end.

At this moment, perhaps the only person who was somewhat dissatisfied with this was Nagasaki Suyo, who had a look of disappointment on her face.

For her.

How great it would be if every day was a band rehearsal.

If everyone could be by her side every moment——

The light gray-blue eyes were no longer clear and gentle, but were now a little gray, just like a cloudy day.

49 Iruma Hibiki finally has money

After finishing dinner, Chihaya Aine went to Fanxing to get her guitar and left.

In fact, for Chihaya Aine, the pursuit of the band was just a whim and a vain hobby. The situation she faced at the moment was actually not as easy as it seemed on the surface.

Studying in the UK seems to be an experience that can be boasted about, and it is also a topic that attracts envy from those around you, but the actual difficulties are only known to Chihaya Aine herself -

Her English grades are very good, but that's also different. She just has good grades.

Speaking of speaking and having a conversation in a real English environment, it is still a bit difficult for her now. There is only one year left before she goes abroad to study. No matter how hard she thinks or how hard she tries, her English level does not seem to improve much in this year.

So Chihaya Aine couldn't help but go home, read Miao Meng's update, and threw her guitar aside. Suddenly, she thought of Iruma Hibiki who suddenly started talking about Chinese characters and English at the dinner table today.

Is his language score good?
