Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

Once again, some of Chihaya Aine's precious courage was worn away.

Goto Ichiri, who was standing aside, didn't say much.

But before she knew it, she had hugged Hibiki Iruma's arms tightly. If it wasn't indecent and they weren't in public, she would probably have clamped her arms with her legs, and then she would have hugged Hibiki Iruma like a koala.

On the other side, Kita started to pull Hibiki Iruma's sleeves since some time ago, probably because Hibiki Iruma could never keep up with her when they were shopping.

Iruma Hibiki's profile was facing the direction of Sankaku Hatsuka.

In the gap between them, Sanjiao Chuhua saw Toyokawa Shoko looking at her.

Yes, Iruma Hibiki and his group were between her and Toyokawa Shoko.

It's probably somewhere where Hibiki Iruma can be seen as long as he faces forward and doesn't pay attention to the small shops on the side or the people around him.

She stood still.

The same is true for Triangle Chuhua.

Only Hibiki Iruma was left, entangled in the crowd and dragged into the store.

Da da da da da——

That's when.

There was a distinct sound of footsteps coming from beside Sanjiao Chuhua.

Those are Junta Mana's high heels, the sound is very unique and easy to recognize.

She rushed forward, and before Sankaku Hatsuka could react, she stood in front of Iruma Hibiki like a suspicious person, which made Kita so excited that he suddenly showed a vigilant look as if he was protecting his cub.

"Guess who I am!"

Then she took off her sunglasses and put her face in front of Iruma Hibiki.

"Xiangzi..."

In front of Sanjiao Chuhua, Toyokawa Shoko, who probably didn't notice her at all, ran quickly towards the exit of the mall.

I don’t know if it’s Triangle Chuhua’s illusion.

She always felt that when she left, Toyokawa Shoko was probably crying...

"Break up..."

Sanjiao Chuhua muttered to himself.

Then he looked in the direction of Iruma Hibiki.

She was probably very good-looking.

What's going on.

what reason.

This is the part that I absolutely cannot forgive Hibiki Iruma.

33 The distance between hearts

"what happened?"

Goto Ichiri looked at the open space where Iruma Hibiki was looking with confusion.

After the noisy crowd moved away a little, she became a little more talkative, of course only when she was with Hibiki Iruma.

It's like he's been given some strange rules, like he can only talk when he's around Hibiki Iruma.

Maybe for Goto Ichiri, her life may seem like some kind of weird story based on rules to others.

"No, I just suddenly felt like I saw someone I know."

Iruma Hibiki spoke softly.

He looked at the other aisle of the mall that was now empty and hesitated slightly.

In fact, just now, he did see a familiar figure flash by, but before he could see clearly, the person left.

"acquaintance?"

Goto Ichiri looked over Iruma Hibiki's shoulder, but of course she saw nothing.

"Ah."

"Ah, yes, speaking of which..."

Just at this moment, Goto Ichiri looked into the distance and saw Mana Junta who had suddenly joined the group for some unknown reason.

"I've only heard of it before, but I've only just met you, so please don't misunderstand me."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri was surprised.

In fact, she probably just felt a little bit of fear and panic at the sudden appearance of Junda Mana, just like a puppy that would bark when a stranger entered the house, but she did not expect Iruma Hibiki to answer like this.

Of course, this answer made Goto Ichiri feel a little relieved.

There was also a smile on his lips.

"Well...that's not what I wanted to ask."

She said happily.

He was probably happy that Hibiki Iruma acknowledged his identity.

Although she was the one who initially suggested not to make their relationship public for the time being, Goto Ichiri did not mean to be indifferent in all aspects.

After all, she is also a girl.

It's just that some of them are special.

"what……"

Hibiki Iruma also realized that he had misunderstood.

Who made Junda Mana's appearance so unbearable? Her sunny and cute appearance, coupled with her idol temperament, and a bit of familiarity.

Even Hibiki Iruma felt a little headache.

Suddenly, Hibiki Iruma laughed, and Ichiri Goto also smiled with a red face, hiding her face in the shadow behind Hibiki Iruma, even deeper.

"I'm sorry my partner has caused you trouble."

Just then, the blonde girl Sanjiao Chuhua came forward.

"It's okay, it's such a coincidence that I can see you here."

"is not that right?"

Sanjiao Chuhua smiled as if nothing had happened.

She planned to keep it a secret and not tell anyone about the fact that she saw Shoko Toyokawa a few minutes ago.

There is no other special reason.

It just doesn't feel right.

as well as--

Some little selfish thoughts about her.

"This is Sankaku Hatsuka, the lead singer of Sumimi. Speaking of which—"

"Z铃萌?I.〦I『?九令物山坝4翅医氵KitaKita! Quickly turn your head!"

"Eh? Turn around?"

The sudden request made Kita a little confused. She looked at Chihaya Aine in the video and saw that she was like a soldier who didn't understand but was still following orders, so she turned her head away.

"Ah! It's Sumi! Oh my god!"

Then, Chihaya Aine exclaimed from the other end of the headset.

"what happened?"

Kita's behavior naturally aroused some of Ijichi Hongka's curiosity.

She didn't have headphones, so naturally she didn't know what Chihaya Aine said.

"It seems like the idol that Aine likes is someone Senpai knows."

Kita took two steps forward, then brought Cyber Aine to Sankaku Hatsuka.

Probably understanding Chihaya Aion's impatience at the moment, Kita unplugged his headphones, and Chihaya Aion's slightly soft voice began to sound, which could be heard by everyone.

"Miss Triangle! I'm your fan."

"Ah, it's Chihaya, right?"

"I heard you over there, Hibiki."

"me too."

Junda Mana also came over at this time.

Then came the meeting between fans and idols.

Iruma Hibiki smiled helplessly.

However, he actually felt a little relieved for some reason. At least at this moment, Sanjiao Chuhua's attention was not on him.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that today's Triangle Chuhua was actually particularly oppressive.

But in fact, she hasn't changed at all today.

Still the same as always.

After a brief exchange, Sankaku Hatsuka did not stay long and quickly said goodbye to Junda Mana.

It was as if she really just came to say hello.

"Chuhua, aren't you going to continue shopping?"

"Ah, Mana, can you wait here for me for a while?"

After saying goodbye to Iruma Hibiki, Sankaku Hatsuka said a little abruptly, her footsteps pointing towards the exit of the mall.

"sure."

"Thank you, I'll be right back."

Then, after a brief thank you, Sanjiao Chuhua walked towards the exit at a relatively fast pace.

Mana Junda, who was left alone, also played with her long black hair slightly.

Is that the person?

She muttered to herself in her heart.

Mana Junda had never actually met Shoko Toyokawa, nor had she seen her photo, and even learning her name was just an accident.

However, after seeing Sankaku Hatsuka's performance today and the gaze she just had, Junda Mana had guessed it almost exactly.

She's not a complete fool.

At least some simple things can still be understood and thought about.

"I didn't expect that Hibiki and those guys were such good friends."

Ichichi Hongxia sighed softly.

“Not really.”

Then Iruma Hibiki explained.

"Just because, well..."

Iruma Hibiki pondered for a moment before deciding what he could and could not say.

"Chuhua is Xiangzi's acquaintance, so we had the chance to meet."

"Eh?"

The sudden appearance of the name caused Goto Ichiri and Ijichi Nichina to react a little strongly.

Only Kita, who was in the front and didn't pay much attention to this side, showed some confusion.
