Lonely Rock for the Blind.

But if you don't like it, you just don't like it.

reason?

Arrogant and frivolous, most of them take their master's affection for granted without paying any attention to it.

So Haru Nekoyashiki doesn't like it much.

It is neither metaphorical nor rhetorical.

Not in poetry or theory.

He just doesn't like cats.

"Go! Go!"

Using her cane to shoo the cat away, Nekoyashiki Haru took a deep breath.

It was a bit stuffy inside the izakaya; the air here is much better.

despair.

Footsteps suddenly came from beside her, and Nekoyashiki Haru turned her head slightly.

"You're hiding here, little cat."

Yamada Ryo leaned against the wall next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

Are you full?

"I'm full."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"You came to see me?"

"It is."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"Really? What do you need me for?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"grateful?"

Why use a question?

"Because I felt there was no need to express my gratitude."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"Does thanking you seem a little distant?"

"We weren't that close to begin with, so I'll still call you Yamada-kun for now."

"Then you can call me 'cool' after that, and I'll allow it."

Yamada Ryo crossed his arms and said smugly.

"Be grateful! The beautiful girl has given you the chance to call her name."

"...beautiful girl..."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"I don't know if she's a real or fake beautiful girl."

"Oh right, you can't see it."

Yamada Ryo blinked.

"Then just believe me, I'm an absolutely stunningly beautiful girl."

"Yes Yes…"

Cat House Fu Qing said perfunctorily.

"Speaking of which, what kind of person do you think I am based on my voice?"

"I asked Yamada Ryo."

"Little Blue Man".

Haru Nekoyashiki answered.

"Only blue?"

"Only blue."

"... "

Yamada Ryo remained silent for a moment.

"By the way, how did you go blind?"

"I was hit by a car while rescuing people."

"This isn't some made-up excuse, is it?"

"No ..."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"But the doctor said that my eyes shouldn't have been damaged at that time, but I still went blind. They said it was because of a knotted optic nerve."

"What the heck? That thing can tie knots?"

Yamada Ryo opened his eyes wide.

"I don't know, it's just a metaphor used by those doctors. In short, they can't cure it."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"…there is none left."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

An airplane flew by in the distance.

Yamada Ryo suddenly spoke up again and asked.

"...Want to join our band?"

"Is it necessary? Wouldn't it be the same if we just kept protecting you like this?"

"If you join the band, it will be more reasonable for you to ask me for money."

"Wow... you're thinking of that."

Yamada Ryo didn't say anything more, but walked towards the izakaya behind him.

Anyway, I'm going in now, I'm hungry again.

"Your digestion is pretty fast."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Yamada Ryo left, and Nekoyashiki Haru sighed softly again.

Then footsteps sounded again from the side.

"clear…"

Goto Ichiri's voice made Nekoyashiki Haru pause for a moment.

"Why is there still a queue... What's going on?"

"Um...today I..."

Goto Ichiri was a little unsure how to phrase it, while Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"You did a great job today! Completely beyond expectations!"

"Really?!"

"Of course it's true!"

Nekoyashiki Haru praised.

"You're a huge contributor to this success!"

"hey-hey…"

"A woman who will surely stand at the pinnacle of world music in the future!"

"Hehehe...this...is that amazing..."

"Of course, this time we completely crushed [Poison Cat] under our feet!"

"Hehehe! That...that guy wasn't much of a deal anyway..."

"Uh…"

Haru Nekoyashiki stopped praising him, which was about to continue.

They're starting to get carried away...

"what!"

Suddenly remembering the true identity of the "Poison Cat," Goto Ichiri's expression twisted violently.

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant! I didn't mean to look down on Qing! I'm so sorry that someone like me could be so arrogant. Next time, I'll commit seppuku on stage to apologize to you!"

"It didn't have to come to this..."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed and reached out to pat Goto Ichiri's head.

"But today's success really depends on you."

"…Um!"

Goto Ichiri's cheeks flushed red, and she seemed to be acting strangely.

"I...I'll go in first..."

He then quickly ran back into the izakaya.
