Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

He remembered that on his way home, the newly opened supermarket on the corner sold cherry blossom jelly. It was not a very tasty snack, but its pink and transparent color was just like Goto Ichiri's face, which looked a little tipsy at the moment.

There was a gentle smile on Hibiki Iruma's face.

Looking at Goto Ichiri, he seemed to have thrown away all his previous worries.

Perhaps from the very beginning, the soul named Iruma Hibiki actually longed for this. Just having one person to accompany her was enough.

At this moment, Iruma Hibiki couldn't help but think of Nagasaki Soyo.

Actually——

Perhaps the same is true for Nagasaki Suyo.

They might actually be very close people.

Iruma Hibiki gave a wry smile.

There is also a hint of guilt for thinking about others in front of your lover.

Despite the slightly scary words that Goto Ichiri had said before, Iruma Hibiki had not forgotten them.

but--

At least he would definitely not choose that path at this moment.

"Let's go back."

Iruma Hibiki spoke softly.

And Goto Ichiri nodded.

Just like before, Qi Ling picked up Wu Si and followed behind Iruma Xiang.

"ring."

But when she was at the door, she suddenly called out to Iruma Hibiki.

"Ok?"

"Why did you always find me in junior high school?"

What Goto Ichiri asked was probably about the time when she always ran to a dark corner after being embarrassed.

"Because..."

Iruma Hibiki was silent for a moment.

"Maybe it's because my eyes rarely left you at that time."

Yes.

That was how Hibiki Iruma was back then.

It's just that he himself is immersed in the contradictions and entanglements of his own thoughts, and does not correctly understand what he thinks and desires in his heart.

Upon hearing this answer, Goto Ichiri smiled happily.

Just when she thought the same thing would happen as before—

The girl named Goto Ichiri followed behind Iruma Hibiki.

However, she didn't expect that Iruma Hibiki would take the initiative to hold her hand, and the two did not separate until they entered the izakaya.

……

Kita, who remained in his seat, happily chatted with Ijichi Nikka about the local delicacies, the deaths at school, the start of the new school term, and the upcoming school festival.

This time, neither Pochi-chan nor she wanted to miss the opportunity to go on stage.

She had a great time chatting.

Until I saw Hibiki Iruma and Ichiri Goto enter the store.

There was a slight gust of cold wind blowing.

But because of the warmth inside the store, by the time it hit my face, only a hint of meaning remained.

Kita looked at Goto Ichiri and Iruma Hibiki who were somewhat close, and probably had some feelings——

A little envious.

She may not even realize she is feeling down.

But the next moment she still smiled.

but,

This behavior is too weird.

At least it was too unusual for Kita.

It's like a domestic kitten suddenly looks out the window one day and scratches the smooth glass all over.

Ijichi Hongxia noticed the change in Kita's expression.

She was slightly surprised and a little shocked, and probably understood Kita's feelings for Iruma Hibiki.

He and Goto Ichiri sat down separately, while Iruma Hibiki still sat on the outer seat next to Ijichi Kouka.

Looking at the profile of Iruma Hibiki, Ijichi Hongka didn't know why she didn't feel much joy in her heart. She only felt—

Isn’t this good?

Such emotions.

A girl's feelings are always so complicated and bizarre, sometimes even she herself doesn't understand them.

31 Lonely Donut

"Chuhua Chuhua, please don't ignore me."

Junda Mana is like a cat and a dog. In short, in front of Sankaku Hatsuka, she doesn't seem like a human. She just lies behind Sankaku Hatsuka in a sticky and soft manner, acting coquettishly to her.

At this moment, the screen of Sanjiao Chuhua's mobile phone flashed, the original picture disappeared, and was replaced by the boring cover of Sumimi.

This scene was very familiar to Junda Mana, after all, she had seen it many times.

"Ugh."

Sanjiao Chuhua sighed.

"What's wrong, Mana?"

"Nothing."

"Does practicing for the next show no longer matter?"

What came out of Sanjiao Chuhua's mouth were some hurtful and impatient words. Of course, the moment she finished speaking, she also felt a little regretful.

She slightly brought the emotions she had just felt into her conversation with Junda Mana.

"No problem! I will definitely give my all for the next performance. I'm so happy to be performing with Chuhua. I wish it could be like this forever!"

Junda Mana smiled innocently.

Only Sanka Hatsuka knew that Junda Mana's lively and sunny appearance on the stage was not actually an performance. She was a little silly, so silly that she absolutely didn't know how to disguise her image or create a persona.

So the agent finally gave her the answer:

【Mana, just be yourself. 】

What sounds reasonable and passionate is actually just a helpless compromise with a fool.

Only Junda Mana would take such words as a compliment to her.

Seeing that Sankaku Hatsuka turned around, Junda Mana circled in place, then ran around the aisle of the room in a boastful manner. Then, she jumped into the air with her arms wide open like a glider, bent her calves after leaving the ground, as if retracting the landing gear, and finally fell heavily on the soft sofa.

"it hurts."

After being bounced back several times in a row, she covered her chest and screamed.

There was a metal button there, which had been slightly bumped when it fell just now.

"Is it okay?"

Sankaku Hatsuka sighed and put down her phone. She glanced at the dark screen and hesitated for a moment, but finally set her sights on Junda Mana.

"Don't worry Chuhua, I'm fine."

"Actually, I..."

-

Every time this happened, Junda Mana would talk about topics that she didn't like very much.

For some reason, Sankaku Hatsuka has this feeling. Her feelings towards Junda Mana are probably between friends and strangers.

If the favorability is based on a 100-point system, then Junda Mana's score is around 30.

But it seems that the other party doesn't think so.

So the moment a conversation like this started, Sankaku Hatsuka always had a subtle feeling. Perhaps she felt that her relationship with Junda Mana was not deep enough to discuss such private topics.

It's just that the person in front of me is an idiot, so he doesn't care, and that's why he has unauthorized expectations of being well-liked by her, right?

This is what Sanjiao Chuhua thought.

He also sighed helplessly.

She was a little confused about the woman in front of her.

"I feel like Chuhua has changed a bit recently."

Suddenly, Junda Mana spoke seriously.

But that seriousness only lasted for a moment, just like when an old lady with Alzheimer's disease suddenly has her eyes brighten up.

"Ah, I can't really explain whether it's like this, but I always feel this way."

The next moment, Junda Mana continued to act stupidly.

"changed?"

The current topic did indeed concern Sanjiao Chuhua.

she was--

Triangle is in its infancy.

Resisting change.

"Yeah, it's changed. It's changed a lot since that performance about the Iruma."

"Iru-iruma?"

"Yeah, that's the one who wrote the book, Iruma."

"It's loud..."

It took some time for Sankaku Hatsuka to realize who Junda Mana was calling with that cute nickname. If she didn't have a certain understanding of Junda Mana, Sankaku Hatsuka would definitely think that Junda Mana might have become friends with Iruma Hibiki behind her back.

But actually it’s not.

This woman is a bit familiar.

"Is Chuhua dressed up?"

"no problem."

"Let's go! Let's talk while we go shopping!"

Then, before Sanka Hatsuka could react, she was dragged out of the door by Junda Mana. The car arranged by the agent had been waiting for a long time. Although most of the time, the agent was very clear about the distinction between public and private affairs, but occasionally, such small conveniences in free time were part of the process of building closer relationships and promoting communication.

"Have you been checking your phone a lot lately, Chuhua? You used to be like that too, but it seems like you've been checking your phone a lot more lately."

Junda Mana whispered softly in Sankaku Hatsuka's ear. The agent in the front seat looked through the rearview mirror and felt somewhat helpless as he saw his ace idol in such a private state.

She has been having a lot of headaches recently, but fortunately she is not the only one suffering from this. The previous joking collaboration also caused Machida Sonoko to encounter great difficulties at the Fushigawa Bunko.

The differences between the worlds are huge. Some people who read light novels may follow girl bands and idols, but that’s definitely not all of them.

Unauthorized cooperation will always cause some subtle waves.
