Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru's fingers tapped lightly on the bar counter.

"If possible, it's definitely better for them to rely on themselves."

Pa-san paused for a moment, then said softly.

"...So reliable."

After Pa-san finished speaking, he suddenly covered the corner of his mouth with his black sleeve and laughed.

"What are you laughing at all of a sudden?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

Pa-san's dark green eyes narrowed.

"It just suddenly occurred to me... before I met you, Nekoyashiki-kun, I didn't have many reliable people around me."

Pa-san sighed and complained.

"Either he's arrogant or he's an idiot."

"Really? Thank you for the compliment."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and smiled politely.

Behind her, Ichiji Nijika watched this scene, pursed her lips slightly, and reached into her pocket.

Then squeeze the key in your pocket.

...

"Hum~hum~"

After finishing her workday, Nekoyashiki Haru went home early.

Humming a little tune, Nekoyashiki Haru took a bento box out of the refrigerator.

I put it in the microwave with practiced ease, and then set the time with practiced ease.

Leaning against the wall behind me, I closed my eyes and waited for the microwave to finish heating up, thinking as I waited.

The band's first official live performance was a great success.

It was a close call, but a good start overall.

Hongxia has already explained to herself the things she cared about when she was a child. Although she may still feel a little guilty, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Although I feel a little strange today, just like Yudai? But it shouldn't be a big problem, since rehearsals went well.

Yu Dai's guitar playing is already quite decent; this kid does have talent.

Yili is very reliable in most situations, and there's not much to worry about in terms of her growth.

As long as it's cold enough to fill my stomach, that's fine.

"A world-famous band..."

Suddenly remembering that she didn't have any goals, Nekoyashiki Haru repeated Ijichi Nijika's expectations for the band.

"Well... let's make helping Hongxia fulfill her dream our goal for now."

Moreover, the colors seen during this live performance...

"I want to see more..."

Ding~

The microwave oven beeped when it was done heating.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled, then opened the microwave and took out the bento box.

Following the path already planned in his mind, the boy stood in front of the table.

I've been eating this for several months now, and I've gotten used to it.

Nekoyashiki Haru put the rice into her mouth.

If you gain weight quickly, Hongxia won't worry so much anymore.

After finishing her bento bite by bite, Nekoyashiki Haru's eyelids started to droop.

Hurry up and finish your shower and go to bed.

After taking a shower, longing for sleep, Nekoyashiki Haru, dressed in loose clothing, went into the bedroom.

Sleep, sleep...

Everything was so ordinary.

The vibrant scene of all things flourishing seems to be right before my eyes.

What will the future be like?

On the bed, Nekoyashiki Haru was imagining things.

The expected scene should be the four members of the band performing on stage after the show, while the audience below cheers in a sea of ​​people.

I sat in the front row, listening with emotion and appreciating the rich and beautiful colors.

Then he said to Xingge next to him.

Look, these are all the children I taught!

With this fantasy in mind, Nekoyashiki Haru's consciousness gradually faded.

Slowly, I drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 84 Night Raid on the Cat's Den

"... "

In front of room 302, Ijichi Nijika stood at the door.

What he was clutching tightly in his hand was a key.

Do we really have to do it...?

Looking at the door in front of her, Ichiji Nijika's heart began to race.

Although the key has already been made... and although we've already come this far.

But this is undoubtedly trespassing on someone else's property...

Even if... even if the kitten is unlikely to get angry, I really shouldn't have done that, right?

If I leave now... maybe it's still not too late?

"... "

She gripped the key tighter, and Ichiki Nijika leaned against the door, pressing her ear against it.

She wanted to hear Nekoyashiki Haru's voice.

Splash...

"... "

It sounds like flowing water? But if you listen carefully, it feels more like an illusion?

I stood on tiptoe to look through the peephole, but could only make out that the lights inside were on.

"... "

Thinking about it carefully, why would I secretly make a copy of the key?

The fair competition that Kita mentioned... shouldn't include this aspect, right?

This is illegal.

As if she had just escaped from that strange state yesterday, Ichiji Nijika was caught in an endless dilemma.

Or maybe we should... go back...

Ichi Nijika took a step back.

Compete using... using more normal behavior... isn't that right?

Think carefully about ways to enhance your charm or something?

"... "

but…

Her tiny pink fist clenched again.

But in these aspects... I'm definitely not as good as Kita...

Although I'm definitely not unsophisticated... compared to kids like Kita... I'm far inferior.

I can't compete with Kita's sunny, youthful, and girly JK style...

But...but the kitten can't see either...

"Ichi Niji Natsumi thought to herself."

Right? If you can't see it... then clothing and makeup really don't matter much...

Just pay attention to the sound and smell...

Ichi Nijika's body stiffened again.

Even sound... can't compete...

Kita's voice is much nicer than mine... and she can sing... For a blind person, the one who can sing is definitely better, right?
