Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"...You went back..."

Nekoyashiki Haru continued to enjoy the evening breeze, and then the next moment...

despair…

"What are you doing, little cat?"

The voice of Ichiji Nijika.

"...You guys aren't really in line, are you?"

"What strange things are you talking about?"

The girl smiled helplessly and leaned down next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Thank you for today."

"Didn't I already thank you?"

"Thank you no matter how many times I say it."

Ichi Nijika shook her head.

"I thought we were doomed, but thankfully you were prepared."

"... "

"Hey, little cat."

"Ok?"

"I want to form a world-famous band."

"Yeah…"

"Hmm... Fanxing also wants the livehouse that my sister created for me to become a hit in Japan."

I will help you.

"... "

Ichi Nijika lowered her head and clenched the hem of her clothes.

"Little cat, I'm sorry when I was little."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru faces Ichiji Niji Natsu.

"I'm listening."

“...In the days after my mother passed away...I said some very, very hurtful things to you.”

"... "

"I haven't apologized until just now, but... but I haven't forgotten!"

Ichi Nijika took a soft breath.

“...So, so when you told me you couldn’t see...I really felt terrible...It was like...it was because I didn’t apologize that you went blind.”

"These two events are not causally related."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"I know!"

"Ichi Nijika said."

"But I just keep thinking that way. Call me stubborn if you want, but I want to apologize to you."

"Sorry…"

Niji Natsumi leaned slightly towards Nekoyashiki Haru and said.

"…is that so…"

Nekoyashiki Haru's eyelids trembled.

"I understand, Hongxia."

"... "

Nijika Ichi looked up and was greeted by Haru Nekoyashiki's smile.

"Then I forgive you."

"…Um!"

Ichi Nijika laughed.

"We have a very, very long time! I will make it up to you slowly!"

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

"What compensation? Didn't you already apologize?"

"There's even a gift after the apology!"

Ijichi Niyatsu stepped forward, tore open the wrapper of the chocolate biscuit in her pocket, and put it into Nekoyashiki Haru's mouth.

"Kita said you really liked this."

"Um…"

"The first step in giving you a thank-you gift is to fatten you up!"

"Isn't it fine the way I am now?"

"Still too thin!"

Ichi Nijika smiled.

"I'll go in first then, my sister seems to have had a bit too much to drink."

"Don't let her get drunk."

"it is good!"

As Ichi Nijika was about to enter the house, she ran into Kita Ikuyo, who was coming towards her.

"Little Kita?"

"what!"

Kita Ikuyo, who had been in a daze, suddenly snapped out of it and nodded.

"Is the senior outside?"

"Oh."

"Um…"

Kita Ikuyo smiled and nodded, then walked towards the door.

"... "

Ichi Nijika turned around and looked at Kita Ikuyo's back.

"... "

He lowered his eyelids and walked into the house.

Kita Ikuyo stepped out of the izakaya and looked at the boy who was enjoying the breeze.

The chocolate cookie in my hand was clenched slightly.

Ichi-senpai just fed it.

Kita Ikuyo, who had been watching since feeding the cat, took a deep breath and walked towards Nekoyashiki Haru.

"senior!"

"...So there really is a queue..."

Nekoyashiki Haru faces Kita Ikuyo.

"What do you want to say to me too?"

"Were they all looking for you, senior?"

"Yeah, let's chat a bit and I'll express my gratitude."

"I see! Thank you so much, senior!"

Kita Ikuyo said.

"I know."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"I feel like you still don't know enough."

Kita Ikuyo shook her head and then put the chocolate back in her pocket.

"Today... I didn't perform very well at the beginning."

“It’s hard for anyone to perform well in that situation, Kita has done a great job.”

“…Kita…senpai…senpai, you can call me by my name.”

"Kita, didn't you dislike it?"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo didn't speak, but Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

“Yu Dai”.

"What's wrong, senior!"

Kita Ikuyo's energetic and cheerful voice rang out.

"Ugh…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed, while Kita Ikuyo continued with a grin.
