Iruma-san wants to win the Akutagawa Prize

This is certainly better than quarreling.

Also calmer and gentler.

Both parties realized that they were not suitable to be together anymore.

The extent of injury will also be minimized.

After all—

in Tokyo.

No one can live without anyone else, right?

Friends are just passers-by.

When you change your environment, you always need to find your friends again and then find a group. Naturally, the previous ones will be forgotten.

This is a normal thing, isn't it?

Xiagao is far away from Xiugao.

We can't always meet.

Hibiki Iruma wants to have his own high school life.

The first Reimu title was also written by Goto Ichiri.

People who were assigned to two different schools gradually became distant from each other, and when they met again they were just junior high school classmates. Isn't that normal?

Things like this——

"call--"

Ijichi Hongxia heard Iruma Hibiki's breathing behind him. He seemed to let out a long sigh, as if he had figured something out, and then he became quiet.

He looked at the teacher's writing on the blackboard and devoted himself to studying again.

Although, there is still a trace of sadness deep in my heart.

but--

What else can he do now, considering the relationship between him and Goto Ichiri?

[Xiang, what happened today? If you don't mind, could you tell me about it?]

Until the end of get out of class, Nagasaki Suyo sent a caring greeting.

She could tell from just a few words that something was wrong with Iruma Xiang today.

Or--

Nagasaki Suyo, in fact, felt a little uneasy because of what happened to Goto Ichiri.

In fact, in a normal relationship, such anxiety can be easily resolved.

But for Nagasaki Suyo.

This is a small crack in the dam.

She desperately wanted to find something to prove that her so-called uneasiness did not actually exist.

but--

She waited for a long time.

But she never found the evidence she was expecting.

until--

【Su Shi, can I come see you? 】

This message came from Iruma Hibiki.

【Eh? 】

Nagasaki Suyo responded with a little surprise.

[If you're busy, forget it. But today, I want to ask you to go shopping in Ikebukuro. Hmm... let's call it a date.]

Nagasaki Sushi (VI) Lin ⒉⑵ Shan④ Ba Ba Shi Qun held his mobile phone.

She got the answer she wanted.

"Of course, I can go see Xiang."

"No, I'd rather go to Ikebukuro. I just visited Shimokitazawa before, so maybe Ikebukuro would be more fresh?"

[Okay, I'll wait for you at the station!]

Nagasaki Suyo happily put on her schoolbag.

I didn't stay in the music department's club room for long.

In fact, the rehearsal of the performance department is now over, and everyone is free to pack up and leave.

Nagasaki Suyo's friends left in groups of three or four with their classmates, or started their journey home.

At this moment, Nagasaki Suyo is actually a "homeless" child.

She had nowhere to go.

There is no place to stay.

If I go home now, all I will see is an empty room.

but--

At this moment, Iruma Hibiki suddenly made an invitation.

Nagasaki Suyo seemed to be saved.

For Iruma Hibiki, being able to meet Nagasaki Soyo made her feel a little relieved.

As fate would have it, the two of them headed to Ikebukuro together.

79 Cyberbullying after breaking up

"Good evening, Hibiki."

As soon as Iruma rang the train, he saw Nagasaki Suyo waiting at the station.

In fact, such a scene was a little new and uncomfortable for him.

In the past, such a picture——

A girl stood in front of the platform of the station, with cherry trees covered with green leaves dancing behind her, and the crowds of people dispersing, but she was just waiting for you.

For Hibiki Iruma, she usually only appears in dreams or boring fantasies.

It is something I absolutely dare not imagine happening in reality.

But at this moment, such a thing happened right before his eyes.

Today is a workday, and tomorrow is actually a workday too. The holiday is still a long way off. After all, the week is only halfway through and it’s not over yet.

In other words, today's date is just a moment of relaxation.

Tonight he and Nagasaki Suyo went for a walk and spent a happy night together, then went home for a good sleep, as tomorrow would be another busy day.

This result actually made Iruma Hibiki feel a little tired. This was probably what the so-called distress caused by running around was like.

"Good evening, Sushi."

But when he saw Nagasaki Suyo's smiling face, Iruma Hibiki felt a lot more relaxed.

In fact, he had thought about it on the way here.

Maybe sometimes it’s better to let relationships flow naturally rather than force them—

"Su Shi, if——"

Therefore, while walking together, Iruma Hibiki asked Nagasaki Motoyo a question.

"If someone you have a very good relationship with suddenly breaks up with you, what will you do?"

In fact, when asking this question, Iruma Hibiki might not have no answer in his heart.

Suppose Goto Ichiri wanted to break up with him.

And never see each other again.

So for him—

Maybe, that's not bad.

Iruma Hibiki thought so, and then revealed the classic expression of "Isn't that good too?"

"Someone you're very close to?"

"Yeah, that kind of important friend."

In response to Nagasaki Suyo's repetition, Iruma Hibiki emphasized seriously.

The two of them actually went on a date towards Ikebukuro's music street. On this street between several large girls' middle schools in Ikebukuro, music is the constant theme.

"If it were me, I would cyberbully him."

"Ok?"

In fact, at first, Iruma Hibiki wondered if he had heard it wrong.

After all, Nagasaki Suyo used a very strange word. It was not a common word, but a new term that was recently created on the Internet.

Hibiki Iruma wasn't sure what the word meant.

"Are you scared?"

Nagasaki Suyo covered her mouth with one hand and smiled slightly.

"I was just joking."

She then added.

"So what you just said was really cyberbullying!"

Iruma Hibiki reacted quickly and in shock. To be honest, it was a bit disillusioning that Nagasaki Suyo would use the word "cyberbullying".

However, Nagasaki Suyo said in the end——

In fact, she is not a typical young lady.

Iruma Hibiki's gaze towards Nagasaki Suyo softened a little, with a hint of a smile.

"But...actually, I'm an unexpectedly sensitive person. If someone breaks up with me, I'll definitely do something unpleasant."

Once again, Nagasaki Suyo used a somewhat ambiguous word.

The word "break up" is actually more used between lovers. It can be regarded as a proper noun to some extent. When it comes to friendship, verbs such as "break up" should be used more often instead of "break up".

But it is true that sometimes, breaking up is also possible in friendship.

Of course, at this moment, Hibiki Iruma just felt it was strange and didn't think too much about it.

After all, no matter how you think about it, Nagasaki Suyo used the wrong word here.

How could it be that he was threatening him because he felt that what he said was meaningful?

So Iruma Xiang smiled again and went for a walk.

"It's hard to imagine what bad things Su Shi would do..."

He sighed slightly.

"Is this how I appear in Hibiki's mind?"

Nagasaki Suyo asked with some concern and curiosity.

"Well, actually, from the moment we met, I felt that Su Shi, you... no, that's just what I felt. As for Su Shi, as long as it's Su Shi, it's fine. Doing something extreme because of a friend breaking up is actually quite cute."

What Hibiki Iruma originally wanted to say was actually—

[Su Shi doesn't look like someone who would cyberbully others.]

Perhaps for Iruma Hibiki, at least the Nagasaki Soyo he knew was always a cute little girl, and she didn't look like a girl who would do anything strange.

Although sometimes there are sides that he can't understand.

But he did not say what he thought in his heart, because Iruma Hibiki did not want Nagasaki Suyo to suppress her inner thoughts because of his wishes.
