Iruma-san who wants to win the Akutagawa Prize Author: OYanShayaa

Some notes: The timeline of this book is different from the original, of course, it is only to the extent of whether the character is in the first or second year of high school. This book has added a plot before Crychic, please enjoy the pleasure of the group. Fixed bugs such as the Mutou people talking too much.

The following is a serious introduction:

In fact, at the beginning, Hibiki Iruma was just an ordinary light novel author, but in the on-and-off relationship, he was eventually drawn into the whirlpool of the girls in the band. If the God of Time Travel could favor him again and give him a chance to travel back to the past, he thought that the opportunity to change everything must be the first meeting with Nagasaki Motoyo that afternoon.

So, at the end of each distressed day, he whispered in the girl's ear: "Su Shi, let's break up."

Volume: A fragmented first experience

sequence

Edogawa Kasai District is not the center of the world, nor is it the center of the universe. There are no waves, and nothing special happens. Perhaps the few things that can be praised are the place names that share the same name as the Death God Elementary School Student.

But despite this, it is not far from Shibuya, Akihabara, or Ikebukuro. Shimokitazawa may be a little further, at least across the Tokyo Skytree.

In short, few stories take place in this place.

This has also become a forbidden area for time travelers to reincarnate. As we all know, a place far away from the stories we love is a forbidden area for life in a sense, just like Point Nemo.

If foreigners travel in groups, they probably won't come here, and locals rarely visit this area, although the Railway Museum, aquarium, and zoo are generally available. The Rinkai Park next to Kasai Station is also quite beautiful, and even has an aquarium, Ferris wheel, and movie theater all-in-one facility.

But the reason why a romantic place is romantic depends on who you go with.

There is no point in going to these places without someone to accompany you.

It would be fine if Edogawa District was an isolated island in the middle of the sea, but it was too far away from the countryside and too close to the bustling places.

When the girl band became popular, there was overwhelming publicity in Edogawa District. After a while, by August, the craze for the girl band had not yet subsided, and Akihabara's CM began to promote it again.

I can’t bear the itch. I can’t bear the itch.

Reincarnation is a technical job.

If we assume that the world is a story or a novel, then whether the place where one is reborn is at the center of the story can often determine the success or failure of a life.

Suppose your favorite heroine in your previous life appears on TV, and you travel through time and space to become the chief of a South African tribe. That would definitely be enough to make you scratch your head and doubt your life, and you couldn't help but question whether you were reading the script of an everyday story or Hearts of Iron 4.

At least for Hibiki Iruma, his new life was not terrible, but it was just smooth sailing.

Perhaps it was because he had done good deeds in his previous life, and he died because he saved a young girl. Therefore, his new life was not full of bitterness or hatred, and his family was harmonious. Although he had no sisters and was the only son in the family, his wealthy family background still made his childhood happy.

Youth is probably like this too. The suffocating peaceful life is like the sun rising every day, which makes people sigh.

It would take at least until high school before he could get the right to transfer to a more interesting school.

Iruma, who always hid in the corner, sighed loudly, and someone next to him sighed with him.

That was his classmate, a girl who looked a bit pathetic, her name was probably Goto Ichiri.

Weird name, isn't it?

The inner meaning of Yili is a person, or the Chinese character for "du". It's hard to imagine how much malice the parents who gave their daughter this name harbored towards the child...

Or does the word "du" here actually mean independent?

dong dong dong-

A small red ball slipped from Goto Ichiri's hand, bounced a few times, and rolled into the middle of the boys who were playing noisily.

Goto Ichiri just stared blankly at the center of the crowd, with desire in his eyes, but he did nothing and just stood there as if he was being punished.

The teacher cast a concerned look at him, but felt relieved after exchanging a glance with Hibiki Iruma.

Iruma Hibiki, who understood the meaning, sighed.

He is Goto Ichiri's guardian.

The reason why he became a guardian was a bit strange. Like Goto Ichiri, he always stayed alone in a corner, so he was classified as the same kind as the girls around him.

But it was obvious that the beautiful married woman teacher named Inagaki had definitely made some mistake. She didn't want to be alone from the beginning, but her daily life was too boring and she was restricted as a junior high school student, so she had to enjoy being alone and look forward to the day when she could break free from this bondage.

In short.

As a time traveler, if you are interested in the growth of your life in the first ten years of your life, you are definitely mentally ill.

Especially if you don't have any older sisters or childhood sweethearts.

"that……"

Just when Hibiki Iruma thought that today would be the same as usual, a sound suddenly came from beside him, and then his sleeve was grabbed.

For Hibiki Iruma, he was actually never prepared for someone to approach him and say hello.

Why do I emphasize this point? It’s actually very simple.

Because in the next moment, he quickly took a step back with a vigilant look on his face.

Goto Ichiri, the pink-haired girl, just kept her hands suspended in the air, her whole body frozen in place, and then turned gray.

Perhaps she had thought about it, considered it, and hesitated for more than two years about what to do if the greeting failed.

But I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so intense.

He took a step back cautiously.

The expression on his face, is that disgust?

Goto Ichiri was howling and crying in his heart, and wanted to bang his head against the wall in pain. As for Iruma Hibiki, he was also a little frightened.

His classmate is broken?

That was his first reaction.

After all, people who have experienced time travel will believe that time travel exists, just like when a pacifist extreme xenophile named Bubble is killed, he will immediately transform into the Fourth Disaster.

Sometimes Iruma Hibiki would wonder if there was any time travel association or group of time travelers in this world?

A group of guys who traveled through time gathered together to talk about their life experiences after traveling through time.

Did he become a billionaire, or become famous as an artist? Or did he make it onto the list of hardcore ruthless people and make a name for himself in some small place?

But obviously, such a thing is just a delusion.

Iruma Hibiki had never met any other time travelers, but Goto Ichiri's actions made him wonder if she had been possessed by another soul.

People can actually understand each other without saying a word.

This is the case between Hibiki Iruma and Ichiri Goto.

For example, every Monday, Goto Ichiri would give Hibiki Iruma a 500 yen coin in a tribute-like gesture when he wanted to use his pocket money to buy a drink.

As a return gift, when they were alone, Iruma Hibiki would give Goto Ichiri some space, and sometimes he would share the snacks he bought with her. In short, he would properly return the drinks that Goto Ichiri offered him.

The two of them had such a subtle relationship, and without much conversation, they got along for three years until graduation season arrived.

"So when will my heroine appear?"

On graduation day, Hibiki Iruma was troubled.

01 Farewell to Goto-san

About the surname Iruma.

In fact, Iruma Hibiki probably knew that the surname Iruma, like Toyokawa, Nagasaki, Kawasaki, and Yutenji, was a surname derived from a place name, and most of my father's properties were in Iruma City.

But in fact, when he first came here, Hibiki Iruma had a kind of surprised expectation, wondering if his father was a mental patient.

The two mentally ill ancestors under Akiyuki Shinbo, Nisio Isin and Iruma Renjian.

But things did not go as planned. Perhaps he simply did not have the temperament and luck of a leading man. His father was just the "Tropico" of Iruma City. It was said that he had a good foundation and could play Earth Online as a cracked version of the game.

However, this incident may not have no impact on him.

At the graduation ceremony after graduating from junior high school, Iruma Hibiki, like other classmates, expressed his dream of becoming a light novel author when saying goodbye to his classmates, and also planned to give it a serious try during the spring break after graduation.

But there are more important things right now.

From that day on, Goto Ichiri avoided him.

It seemed that his step back that day hurt Goto Ichiri.

How does Hibiki Iruma feel about Goto Ichiri? He actually thinks he's a bit of a loser. He has this fixed notion and ideal that a time traveler must be a hero, a successful life. He can't accept the disparity in reality, and even then, when it comes to Goto Ichiri...

Is he somewhat ignoring the other person's feelings?

After all, she was the one who had been with him for three years.

They were the kind of people that the class would occasionally make good-natured jokes on and draw matching umbrellas for them.

Moreover, although we met in junior high school, we couldn't be considered childhood sweethearts, but we seemed like lifelong friends.

That's the theory for a lonely guy.

"Goto-san."

So on the day of graduation.

It happened to be Monday and the sun was shining brightly.

With 500 yen in hand, Hibiki Iruma walked around the small shops on the street and then chose a Santa bear doll. Of course, the Santa bear looked a bit funny in this season. After all, it wasn't even spring yet, and it seemed a long way from Christmas.

"what……"

When Goto Ichiri was called, his throat made a hoarse sound, which was obviously caused by not speaking for a long time.

"As for me, I actually have a curse."

"Eh?"

"A fortune teller said that if I made friends before I was 17, we would definitely fall out, fight, and eventually part ways on bad terms."

"..."

Goto Ichiri was trembling with fear, like a little animal, which was a bit pitiful to watch.

Perhaps graduation means the beginning of life.

The future he had already decided on was about to begin its prologue.

So Iruma Hibiki's eyes were unexpectedly clear, just like the clear sky today.

"And the way to break this curse is to have a Santa Bear with a salmon in its mouth on Christmas Day when you are 16."

Then Goto Ichiri was stuffed with a Christmas bear worth 498 yen, and then watched the boy who had been with her for three years but only said this one sentence to her leave the school gate, shaking a two-yen coin in his hand.

They had no contact information, nor did they know each other's addresses. Today was also their last day at school, which meant that after today, unless the world was very small, there was no possibility for the two to meet again.

No, there are still some——

Goto Ichiri suddenly thought of Hibiki Iruma's graduation speech at the graduation ceremony:

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Hibiki Iruma."

The guy who introduces himself at a graduation ceremony is definitely a weirdo among weirdos.

"I just decided on my dream recently. I want to debut as a light novel author under the pen name Iruma Rengen. My general goal is to release my first book during this spring break."

"Please give me your guidance in the future."

This was the first time everyone had met Hibiki Iruma in perhaps three years.

As soon as he said this, those sentimental young girls and those who couldn't stand the separation became a little sad, and some of the fragile ones even had tears in their eyes.

"Takaki, even if you go to Kagoshima, you must not forget me. We made a promise."

"Well, I will be sensible and will never forget you."

It was like the guy who tasted the forbidden fruit also made his own agreement at this moment.

Then there was thunderous applause. The sudden success of "Three Years and a Moment" made everyone have a different opinion of Iruma Hibiki.

Even when saying goodbye for the last time, Mr. Inagaki was still thinking that Iruma-san was a gentle person, and his loneliness was probably because he wanted to be with Goto-san.

And Goto Ichiri's farewell was a disastrous stutter.

"Thank you all for your hard work over the past three years!"

After saying something that only a president who was about to jump off a building when his company went bankrupt said, she lost consciousness while sitting in her seat holding the Santa bear.

In fact, Hibiki Iruma's seat was in the second row by the window.
