Lonely Rock for the Blind.

……

.........

At the entrance of Fanxing, raindrops pounded violently on the ground, and the splashes of water were whipped up by the wind and hit Goto Ichiri's face, instantly waking him from his drowsy state at Fanxing.

She looked at the straight-looking boy standing beside her and then asked.

"Um, Qing, you were looking for me..."

"Yili, how amazing is your guitar?"

"Ugh?"

Goto Ichiri paused for a moment, and Nekoyashiki Haru turned to face Goto Ichiri.

"I... my guitar is terrible, but... but I'll try my best..."

"Yili, answer me seriously, what's your guitar skill level?"

"... "

"Let's take the standards of [Poison Cat] as an example."

"...worse than...worse than you..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent for a moment.

"Very few people will come today."

"... "

"But I can make more people."

"?"

Goto Ichiri looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"But having more people is meaningless. First, if [Poison Cat] doesn't play and just stands there, can you use your guitar to steal the spotlight from him?"

"…I…"

“This is very important, one mile.”

Nekoyashiki Haru said to Goto Ichiri.

"... "

Goto Ichiri gripped the guitar strap tightly.

"I'll try my best... If I try... there shouldn't be a problem..."

Goto Ichiri's trembling blue pupils scanned the surroundings haphazardly, but when she noticed that Nekoyashiki Haru was still facing her, Goto Ichiri was startled, and then she met the gaze of the sunglasses with her blue eyes.

"I...I can!"

"That's good."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled gently and said.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Traffic Generation

"Not many people came after all..."

Ijichi Hoshika sighed and said to Nekoyashiki Haru beside her.

"How many people came?"

"Including you, there are only a dozen or so people, and apart from you, there are basically no other people who come to see them."

Ichika took a deep breath and clenched her fists nervously.

"This is terrible. I should have scheduled the show for next month..."

"It's normal for bands to encounter things like this."

"But it shouldn't be now..."

Ichi Seika pursed her lips.

"I know."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Tap, tap, tap…

Suddenly, chaotic footsteps came from the other side, and Ijichi Hoshika looked up.

A group of people who looked like they had been soaked by the rain walked in.

"?"

Ijichi Hoshika paused for a moment, then her red pupils narrowed slightly as she noticed the [Poison Cat] badges on several of them.

"…you…"

Ijichi Seika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with a complicated expression.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled at Ijichi Tomoka.

"As long as you still want to form a band, you'll encounter setbacks like these sooner or later. Unexpected events, or even man-made ones, will come one after another before you succeed..."

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head, put away her cane, and said softly.

"But it doesn't have to be at the very beginning."

"... "

Ichiji Hoshika remained silent.

"Because we are here, let's make it easier for them on the first typhoon, even if it's a typhoon."

Haru Nekoyashiki's smile was a little brighter than usual.

“With us protecting them, Sister Xingge, don’t worry. I could tell from your voice just now that you were about to cry.”

"Huh?! I wasn't crying!"

"I know."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

The crowd gathered, making the small space feel crowded all of a sudden.

"...Don't you not have a personal account?"

Suddenly remembering something, Ijichi Hoshika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"I just accidentally revealed the news that [Poison Cat] seems to be here using Kiku's account."

"I didn't schedule a performance for you..."

"It's okay, I'm not planning to perform on stage."

Nekoyashiki Haru gently tapped the metal mesh surrounding the mixing console behind her, and Pa-san, who was controlling the speakers inside the mesh, looked up.

"what happened?"

Nekoyashiki Haru chuckled.

"Wait a moment and see if you can let me in."

"Huh? Nekoyashiki-kun, no strangers allowed~"

"I'm not a free spirit."

Nekoyashiki Haru straightened the backpack behind her.

Ijichi Seika sighed as she watched the two suddenly start chatting.

"Get serious, it's about to start."

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"OK~"

Pa-san smiled and agreed.

...

……

.........

"There are a lot of people coming... quite a lot."

Ichi Nijika's eyes widened slightly as she looked at the people below the stage.

"They didn't come to see us."

Yamada Ryo narrowed his eyes and looked at the badges in front of the people in the front row.

"... "

Goto Ichiri pursed his lips.

晴…

"But at least there are people here, everyone! Keep it up!"

Kita Ikuyo spoke to the other three.

The other three nodded in unison.

On stage, the four people had already begun checking the equipment and adjusting the instruments.

Haru Nekoyashiki has excellent hearing, so he could hear everything clearly from the audience.

Occasionally, sighs, tense swallowing sounds, and the sounds of conversation could be heard from the stage.

And then there were the sounds coming from the surrounding area, people who weren't interested in the band ending.
