Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

Iruma Hibiki nodded.

"I don't have any friends at school, so I'm always free."

Hearing this, Goto Ichiri suddenly raised her head, and then with a bang, her head collided violently with the table.

For Hibiki Iruma and Nikka Ijichi, it was like two Tyrannosaurus Rex enjoying a delicious meal 6600 million years ago. The moment they looked up, they saw a meteor streaking across the sky, and then the ground shook.

With the collision, the entire table was lifted up from the supporting nails by Goto Ichiri's head, and then slid downward and backward. Naturally, nothing on the table was spared. The huge noise even made Ijichi Seika, who was standing aside with a complicated expression, stand up.

"Yes, sorry!"

With tears in his eyes, Goto Ichiri knelt down to apologize instead of crying out in pain after realizing his mistake, and then clumsily tidied up the mess he had made on the floor.

"Ah, you're not hurt, Goto-kun?"

Ijichi Nichinaka returned to her normal self in an instant and showed a concerned expression towards Goto Ichiri.

In fact, the reason why she didn't say the next words just now was probably because Goto Ichiri was present. After all, she and Goto Ichiri had just met.

It was probably when she noticed Goto Ichiri that Ijichi Hongka suddenly reacted.

Has she been talking to herself since the beginning, without paying attention to what's happening with Hibiki Iruma?

With a hint of apology, Ijichi Hongxia returned to her normal appearance.

Ten minutes later, with Iruma Xiang putting the table top back on the supporting nails, the tidying up was done for the time being.

"By the way, Goto-san brought his guitar today? Are you planning to form a band and perform?"

"what……"

Faced with Ijichi Kouka's question, Goto Ichiri's mind went blank and he was speechless.

She subconsciously turned her gaze towards Hibiki Iruma, as if hoping that he could answer her, but at this moment Hibiki Iruma seemed indifferent.

No, maybe not indifferent.

At least for Iruma Hibiki, he really wanted to speak for Goto Ichiri at this moment.

But what if what he said overrides Goto Ichiri's real thoughts?

The band is a community of shared destiny.

Until now, the words he heard when he first met Nagasaki Soyo are still all that Iruma Hibiki knows about the band. He firmly believes in this and has never doubted it.

So, since it is such an important matter, then at least, at the moment of making the decision, we naturally cannot let others do it for us.

This is a step that must be taken by oneself.

The same is true for Goto Ichiri.

"Ah, speaking of which, Goto-san is the guitar hero. Could it be that he already has a band and is planning to perform?"

Ijichi Hongxia continued to ask.

"How could someone like me possibly have a band!"

In response to her question, Goto Ichiri's surprised voice came.

Iruma Hibiki on the side was about to sigh. Responding to this question with a surprised tone would make people feel more pitiful and sympathetic than just saying "not yet" sadly.

In particular, Goto Ichiri's guitar skills are actually very good.

This is not only Hibiki Iruma's perception, but also the shared feelings of Guitar Hero's 3 fans.

Whether it is the members of the girl band or the passers-by, the comments on Guitar Hero are generally positive.

"Ah, sorry."

Ijichi Hongxia apologized quickly.

She also looked to Iruma Hibiki for help.

When he realized that he had to make a decision for Goto Ichiri no matter what, Iruma Hibiki didn't hesitate too much.

"Well, Goto-san hasn't dared to invite anyone else, so she's always wanted to form a band and talk about music, but she hasn't had the courage. I brought her to Fanxing today because I wanted her to learn about what a band is like, but I didn't expect—"

Iruma Hibiki smiled wryly and shook his head.

What happened to Yamada Ryo was a bit sudden and shocking.

So much so that from the very beginning, some things deviated from the original course.

But for Hibiki Iruma, after the call from Kouka Ijichi, is it possible for him to leave without Ichiri Goto?

Obviously this is impossible.

"Ah, I see. I'm really sorry about what happened here today. If you're interested, Goto-kun, would you like to come and watch our rehearsal tomorrow?"

Ijichi Kouka's voice came above Goto Ichiri's head, and Goto Ichiri also raised his head at this time, with a look of embarrassment on his face, but also a hint of expectation.

"Well, if I don't cause any trouble and everyone doesn't dislike me..."

Goto Ichiri said this while carefully checking the eyes of Ijichi Nikka and Iruma Hibiki.

Of course, she can only maintain eye contact with someone for 1 second.

Any more and she'll melt like strawberry ice cream.

“That’s great.”

Ijichi Hongxia said this in an expectant tone.

For her, tomorrow's rehearsal as agreed will be an extremely important and anticipated time.

She looked at Hibiki Iruma beside her again.

I thought of the words I hadn’t said just now.

Clench your hands slightly and then release them, repeat several times.

65 "Iruma-san" is probably dead

"Goto-san."

On the night when my part-time job ended——

Of course, it can't be called a part-time job, I just suddenly came to help Ichichi Hongxia Ichiban.

Iruma Hibiki was walking home when he suddenly stopped.

Following behind him is Goto Ichiri, and it has been the same since the beginning until now.

"I'm so sorry about what happened today. I didn't expect this to happen."

"Ah, it's okay... Iruma-kun, your issues are more important. It's okay if you don't worry about me."

"How can this be done?"

Iruma Hibiki smiled, then looked at the familiar face of Goto Ichiri.

In fact, in the less than two months since the expansion, has Goto Ichiri undergone some small changes?

Iruma Hibiki wanted to find the place where the change occurred, but he didn't know if he didn't observe carefully enough, anyway, he didn't find it.

"Tomorrow, Goto-san, are you free? Or maybe Saturday? I'll take you to meet my bandmates."

"Yeah, no problem, whether it's tomorrow or Saturday! I'm always available!"

Goto Ichiri nodded quickly in response to Iruma Hibiki's invitation.

In fact, for her, this was the first time she was invited by her classmates, which was quite memorable.

"Don't push yourself. It must be troublesome for Goto-kun to come to Shimokitazawa. If it's hard, you should tell me."

"It's not hard. You know my situation, Iruma-san. After school, I don't do anything else except lying in my room practicing guitar and watching documentaries... Recently, even the job of escorting Jimmy Hen was taken away by Erli, so it's totally okay... Haha..."

Goto Ichiri explained quickly, telling the pitiful truth.

This made Iruma Hibiki sigh slightly, feeling a little helpless.

After all—

His arrogance in junior high school was really excessive. No matter how you look at it, Goto Ichiri is a person who needs help, and he is the person that Goto Ichiri relies on.

But in the past three years, he has been indifferent to it.

"By the way, Goto-kun, are you going home on the same route as me? If you keep following me, we'll have to take the same train."

At the station entrance, Hibiki Iruma still asked.

As a high school girl, the possibility of being abducted by peers is not high, but it may not be zero.

"Ah...it's already this time..."

Suddenly, Goto Ichiri reacted, and then a look of reluctance immediately appeared on his face. He placed his hands on his chest and gently clutched his pink sweatshirt.

There is no strict requirement for wearing school uniforms at Xiuhua High School, so Goto Ichiri wears sports shirts like this every day.

It is now, and it was also in the past that Iruma Hibiki was familiar with.

But no matter what, today's meeting made both Iruma Hibiki and Goto Ichiri feel a little more at ease.

"Um, about the Christmas promise..."

"A meeting like this certainly doesn't count as breaking the agreement. If Goto-san wants to see me, just come find me. Oh, and I forgot to exchange contact information with you when we graduated. Do you want to do that now?"

Iruma Hibiki took out his cell phone.

The screen lit up and Nagasaki Suyo's profile picture appeared on it.

Just now, Nagasaki Sushi sent him dozens of messages, as usual.

It's even to the point where it won't surprise Hibiki Iruma.

Goto Ichiri quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket, and handed it to Iruma Hibiki with both hands.

Faced with Goto Ichiri's exaggerated reaction, Iruma Hibiki also became slightly accustomed to it.

He naturally swiped his finger across the screen, closed the chat box with Nagasaki Suyo that had been open, and finally opened his own address book.

Goto Ichiri actually had no intention of peeping. The moment she saw Iruma Hibiki's screen, she fell into panic and had no idea what to do.

She wanted to look away.

but--

There was a familiar profile picture on Hibiki Iruma's phone that she couldn't ignore at the moment.

Soon, Goto Ichiri realized that the avatar, the person who sent many messages to Iruma Hibiki, the person who was in the address book that Iruma Hibiki opened later -

Mrs. Iruma

Mr. Iruma

【Ichi Hongxia】

【Nagasaki Sushi】

【+】

She once again saw the familiar portrait to the left of Nagasaki Suyo's name.

correct.

At this moment, Goto Ichiri suddenly recalled it. Of course, it was a bit strange to use the word "recall" because, at that time, when she saw the message sent by this avatar under Iruma Renjian's account, the emotions she felt were actually something she had never experienced in her life.

Although I don’t know if it will happen again, at least this was the only time in Goto Ichiri’s past lives.

She will never forget this portrait.

lifetime.

And now, this avatar appeared in front of her eyes and in Iruma Hibiki's address book.

in contrast.

Her address book is simple.

【dad】

【Mother】

【Erli】

【Jimmy Henry】
