Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

"what happened?"

At this moment, Iruma Hibiki's slight change in expression was caught by Ijichi Nikka.

In fact, Iruma Hibiki is a very easy-to-understand person, and Ijichi Kouka only realized this recently.

He would always show his mood on his face, whether it was when he was trying to be strong or when he was sad, but he was the type who didn't like to vent his negative emotions on others.

"Um... nothing... just—"

In fact, Iruma Hibiki didn't want to say it at all.

But Ijichi Hongxia asked.

He also immediately suppressed the urge to find a random excuse to deal with it.

After all, Ijichi Hongka is the one to whom she can tell her worries, right?

Iruma Hibiki thought for a moment.

Of course the answer is no longer important at this point.

"Actually, I was just thinking about Chihaya-san. Even though I said it at that time, it's actually quite sad that she can't come."

Iruma Hibiki spoke softly.

Chihaya Aine is the most special.

If he really had to give an evaluation, he would give this evaluation to Chihaya Aine.

The reason was simple. Since their band group was established, they had been chatting 99+ times almost every day. Nagasaki Suyo and Ijichi Hongka chatted very frequently, and he wasn't the type of guy who wasn't good at talking.

Of course, that’s what was shown in the past.

But he is no longer the same person he was before.

If I had to say it, it would be Xinye who has transformed from a beautiful young girl writer.

In short, among so many chats, Chihaya Aine sent the least messages.

Not even once, as far as Hibiki Iruma could remember.

Apart from the initial self-introduction, there was no small talk, no discussion about the band, no talk about favorite music, and no sharing of daily life.

He also didn't appear when we talked about the rehearsal content.

Even last night, when Hibiki Iruma and Kouka Ijichi were both extremely tired, they still spent the last half hour of the day chatting.

Most of the topics we talked about were about rehearsals, as well as topics like today, Saturday, and a lifetime.

But no matter what the topic was, Chihaya Aine never appeared.

The number of reads after a message will always be only 2.

Yes, Chihaya Aine is naturally ending the band, and it is also natural that she is not here.

But unfortunately——

"Chihaya-san... the student council president might be very busy with his work on weekdays."

Ijichi Hongka, who doesn't like to think the worst of things, said this in a relaxed manner.

But, in fact, perhaps, she also has some...

70 Nagasaki Suyo and Goto Ichiri's First Encounter

After all, what is the life of a student council president like?

Perhaps Hibiki Iruma was not completely unaware of this.

Glacier Sisters——

One is a genius among geniuses, and the other is Roselia's guitarist. For a period of time, they shared some student union affairs on their official accounts.

Yes, this pair of sisters are not only members of a girl band, but also members of the student union, and the talented younger sister is even the student union president.

Of course these are digressions.

It was probably also due to Hibiki Iruma's dissatisfaction with his current situation.

He actually had some different emotions about Chihaya Aine not being able to attend today's rehearsal because of Nagasaki Suyo.

If it weren't for Nagasaki Suyo, perhaps the reasons deep in his heart would be just as Ijichi Nichina said, and he would have excused Chihaya Aine himself.

But for Nagasaki Suyo, today's rehearsal has been long-awaited. Even last night, Nagasaki Suyo discussed whether to prepare special clothes and hairstyle for the rehearsal.

I also chatted with Ijichi Hongka about nail polish for a while.

Nagasaki Suyo was looking forward to today very much.

As for Iruma Hibiki, he can make excuses for Chihaya Aine, but he must have a preference for Nagasaki Suyo's expectations.

Because Nagasaki Suyo is my girlfriend.

Is someone special.

It is natural that he should also be dissatisfied with what she is dissatisfied with.

This is the case with Hibiki Iruma.

Therefore, he felt a little bit of blame towards Chihaya Aine, but he could do nothing about it. Perhaps that was why he sighed. He couldn't completely understand what Ijichi Kouka said.

Perhaps, in addition to the affairs of the student council, Chihaya Aine also has her own unspeakable secrets, just like Ijichi Nijika.

Moreover, the idea of forcing the other party to participate in rehearsals is indeed a bit inconsiderate and excessive.

"By the way, Iruma-san."

It was probably at this moment that Ijichi Hongxia took the initiative to change the subject.

"Ok?"

Iruma Hibiki came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked relaxed again.

"Do you remember what happened yesterday?"

"Yes, I remember."

Iruma Hibiki did remember that last night Ijichi Kouka said she wanted to say something at noon today, but in fact, the two of them spent the lunch time very relaxedly and nothing special happened at all.

"We were so happy chatting at noon that I forgot about it. Sorry."

"That's not something you need to apologize for. Rather, if it's difficult for you, Ijichi-kun, to speak up, then just take your time. I'll be waiting and will listen at any time."

Iruma Hibiki's sincere and serious face with a hint of smile made Ijichi Hongxia stunned for a moment, and then she showed a relieved expression.

"Actually—I think it's gotten to the point where I have to tell you. After all, I've been causing you a lot of trouble because of my own affairs."

"Have it?"

Iruma Hibiki asked back with a faint smile.

In fact, for Ijichi Kouka, this kind of rhetorical question has already revealed Iruma Hibiki's current attitude without any rebuttal.

"there is."

Yidizhi Hongxia responded.

She looked out the window through the fully enclosed glass in the corridor.

Looking out from here, apart from the garden, there are the school gate and the street. Now that school is almost over, the place has started to become bustling with people.

It was like the atmosphere of school dismissal, with people coming and going.

"Iruma-san, actually, I..."

For the first time, Ijichi Hongka showed a difficult expression in front of Iruma Hibiki.

Iruma Hibiki had never seen such emotions before.

In an instant, he panicked.

Iruma Hibiki had never seen the vulnerable side of a girl.

This was "benefited" from his two past lives as a virgin.

In addition, his experience with Nagasaki Motoyo was far from the point of seeing her cry. Yes, Iruma Hibiki actually had no way to deal with girls who showed such expressions.

Don't know how to comfort me.

I don’t even know what to say.

I can only remain silent and listen.

And do what you can.

This is what Hibiki Iruma is like at the moment, and this is all he can do.

After a moment of silence, Ijichi Hongxia finally spoke her mind.

The Stars of Shimokitazawa remained the same as usual today. Nagasaki Suyo got off the car, and after going through a straight road and then turning, she arrived at the ground entrance of the Stars.

But what was different today was that Nagasaki Suyo saw a strange girl in front of the door at the bottom of the stairs.

It’s probably not strange.

Although he was wearing a pink sweatshirt and carrying a guitar bag with a slightly hunched back, he looked nervous as he walked around in circles.

But what is undeniable is that the girl in front of Nagasaki Motoyo is very cute, very beautiful, and has a good figure. Her unfortunate behavior and dress are not at all a minus.

"Hello, are you in trouble?"

So, Nagasaki Suyo took the initiative to walk forward and spoke to the other party politely.

Her voice was as sweet as ever, and it wasn't her natural voice.

"babble!"

The person wandering at the door of Fanxing was actually Goto Ichiri, and she was startled by Nagasaki Suyo's sudden appearance.

After all, today, both Nagasaki Motoyo and Goto Ichiri talked to themselves a little.

The agreed time was actually after dinner and then until 8pm.

There are about 3-4 hours left for rehearsal.

However, Nagasaki Suyo rushed over as soon as school was over.

As for Goto Ichiri, the same thing happened. Xiugao actually finished school earlier than Tsuki no Mori at the Miss Academy. After all, Xiugao did not have those exaggerated Miss Academy courses, nor did it focus on the admission rate like Xiagao.

We emphasize ease and freedom in all aspects, leaving room for development for students.

As for Goto Ichiri, if she doesn't come to Fanxing after school, she doesn't know what to do. As for sitting in a store, if she can do that, she is not Goto Ichiri.

"No, nothing... Hahaha... I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. I'm really sorry!"

Goto Ichiri, who kept nodding his head to apologize, quickly opened the door of the stars and rushed in, disappearing in front of Nagasaki Suyo like a pink snake.

Behind Goto Ichiri, Nagasaki Suyo was gently playing with her hair.

In fact, when she saw Goto Ichiri, she had already guessed his identity.

After all, Goto Ichiri is one of those characters that is very recognizable.

You can spot it at a glance in a crowd.

If you don’t believe me, just shout Goto Ichiri’s name to 100 people, and the one who will be scared and run away will definitely be me.

Of course this is just a joke.

In fact, last night, both Ijichi Nikka and Iruma Hibiki gave her a brief introduction to Goto Ichiri.

Nagasaki Motoyo also found a group photo of his class in the photo wall posted by Iruma Hibiki's account, so she easily saw Goto Ichiri's appearance by following the corresponding name.

By the way, in fact, in that photo, Goto Ichiri was standing next to Iruma Hibiki, with Iruma Hibiki on her left and Inagaki Sensei on her right.

However, Nagasaki Suyo had never thought that she would meet Goto Ichiri so soon, and now it seemed that she and Goto Ichiri were alone?

Looking at the big guitar bag behind Goto Ichiri's disappearing back, Nagasaki Suyo's little movements of playing with her hair became more frequent.

[Iruma-san, you really care about Goto-san.]

[After all, we were classmates in junior high school, and, well, how should I put it, I just feel like I can't just ignore someone like that...]

Nagasaki Suyo still remembers the conversation she had with Iruma Hibiki about Goto Ichiri.
