Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"What do you think, Senior Liang?"

"?"

Yamada Ryo raised his head suspiciously.

Why are you suddenly asking me this?

After thinking for a while, she gave a half-smile.

"I don't care."

Kita Ikuyo nodded, then looked at Goto Ichiri and asked.

"Where's Goto-kun?"

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri was taken aback for a moment.

"We can go somewhere less crowded!"

"I...I think it's great!"

Goto Ichiri raised his hand and cast his vote in favor.

Kita Ikuyo smiled with her hands behind her back, then looked at Ijichi Nijika.

"Ijichi-senpai was originally planning to go to the beach, right?"

"Ah... um... that's right."

Iji Chikatsu, who had even prepared a swimsuit, nodded blankly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't explain it clearly yesterday. Ijichi-senpai, there are too many people at the beach, and Nekoyashiki-senpai won't feel comfortable either."

"!"

Ijichi Nijika paused for a moment, then looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"It seems...that's true?"

"I do feel uncomfortable when there are too many people, especially if it's too noisy. I can tolerate it during performances, but it's better to keep it quiet at other times."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, agreeing with Kita Ikuyo's statement that she disliked large crowds.

"Ugh..."

Suddenly feeling a sense of defeat, Ichiji Nijika slowly lowered her head.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru, hearing Ijichi Nijika's sobbing, turned to Ijichi Nijika.

I suddenly remembered the scene from a few days ago when the girl hugged me to relieve stress.

"... "

I haven't seemed as active as before lately.

Nekoyashiki Haru approached Ijichi Nijika.

He gently patted and stroked Ichiji Nijika's head.

"!"

Ichi Niji Natsumi's eyes widened suddenly.

"Summer vacation is still a long time away, right? It's not too late to go to the beach then, so don't be disappointed."

"Ichi Nijika lowered her head and said in a hurried voice."

"I, I know..."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, then turned to Kita Ikuyo.

Kita Ikuyo paused for a moment, then quickly announced.

"Let's get going! We're going to have a whole day of fun!"

Holding Nekoyashiki Haru's hand, Kita Ikuyo pulled the boy towards the door.

"?!"

For a moment, Ichiji Nijika was in a daze, and her body subconsciously followed.

Yamada Ryo yawned and pulled Goto Ichiri along as they followed.

"If we're going in the morning, let's do some shopping first!"

Kita Ikuyo turned to Nekoyashiki Haru and said.

In the void, a red humanoid figure constructed from sound trembled.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Are you happy?

"Isn't it the same as usual?"

"Be happier."

As soon as Nekoyashiki Haru finished speaking, the three people behind her followed.

"Little Kita, don't pull the kitten along! What if you fall?"

Ichi Nijika said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Feel sorry."

Kita Ikuyo nodded and apologized.

"By the way, don't you call the store manager and the others?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"Oh... those two are too old, they should stay in the shop."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"To be honest, they don't really have the desire to go out and have fun. If they do go out, they'll probably just lounge around in some weird places."

"...You seem to know quite a bit about this."

Yamada Ryo blinked.

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"You'll understand women this age once you've spent enough time with them."

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her hand and held up two fingers.

"There are only two kinds of women over 21: alcoholics and lazybones."

"... "

Yamada Ryo blinked but didn't say anything more.

Goto Ichiri peeked out from the side.

"My...my mother...shouldn't be...neither?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Goto Ichiri.

"You're even bringing up your mother just to join the conversation? Pochi, you're so rock and roll."

"Eh?!"

Goto Ichiri trembled slightly, and Nekoyashiki Haru next to him gently tapped Yamada Ryo on the head with a chop.

"She can't stand being teased."

"But it's very interesting."

Yamada Ryo smiled and turned to face Goto Ichiri.

"By the way, is there anything you'd like to do later, Yili?"

"I...I don't know..."

Goto Ichiri had a slight hunchback.

"I can't think of a place where everyone can have fun... Kita-kun must have a plan."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"Actually, everyone is quite looking forward to you choosing the location."

"Eh?"

"Just imagine, if the least enthusiastic member of the band suddenly suggested going somewhere to have fun, that would definitely surprise the other band members, right?"

"...But...I..."

"Everyone in the band will be tolerant of you, because that's what a band is all about."

A smile curved the corners of Nekoyashiki Haru's lips.

Nijika Ichi and Kita Ikuyo both slowed their pace.

"So in the band, it's okay for you to be a little more confident, Ichiri. Besides, what's there to be ashamed of when you play the guitar so well?"

Nekoyashiki Haru shrugged.

"Trust the band. At least in my understanding, they're a group that shares everything good with each other."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a smile.

Chapter 87 Enoshima

On the train, Nekoyashiki Haru sat quietly between Ijichi Nijika and Kita Ikuyo, with Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo on their other side.

"Little Cat, you seem to have a deep connection with the band?"

Yamada Ryo suddenly spoke up.
