Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Several eagles were shot down before the rest took off again and flew away.

Goto Ichiri stared blankly at Nekoyashiki Haru in front of him.

Wow...that's amazing...

Nekoyashiki Haru turned to face Goto Ichiri behind her and said.

"You really are hated by birds, Yili."

"Ugh..."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head in frustration.

"It's good that you're alright..."

Nekoyashiki Haru sat down again next to Goto Ichiri.

"What was that you just did, senior! Kung Fu?!"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"…no…"

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"I learned it from practicing chrysanthemum exercises."

"Eh?"

Kita Ikuyo froze, and then heard Nekoyashiki Haru's laughter.

"I was just saying, don't believe it. It's just that I have good hearing, quick reflexes, and am familiar with this cane."

Yamada Ryo opened his mouth.

"I thought you were the weakest, but I didn't expect you to be a high-end fighter? I was originally planning to abandon you first during the zombie crisis, but I didn't expect..."

"...I don't care what nonsense you're spouting, but isn't it a bit too hurtful to abandon me first during a zombie apocalypse?"

"It's okay, I'll stay with you. Let the other three run first."

"So you're quite loyal..."

"I...I'm not running away either! We can turn into zombies together!"

Goto Ichiri quickly said.

"If none of the three of you run, what's the point of the two of us running?"

Ichi Nijika sighed, and Kita Ikuyo began to think.

"Wouldn't it be great if we all turned into zombies? Let's form a zombie end-of-life band!"

"Not bad! But what will we collect from other zombies when we release the album? Currency seems pretty useless now."

"Ugh...meat?"

"Wow, they've actually started discussing it..."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed, then stood up.

"Alright everyone, it's getting late..."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"Go and pay your respects."

...

……

Snapped!

The coins were tossed into the money box, and the five people clapped their hands and began to make a wish.

Inside the shrine, the beetle statues, lying on their backs, look comical.

The only osmanthus tree beside the shrine drooped slightly, and a leaf fell.

The sun moved slowly across the sky, changing its angle, but its light remained fixed on the five people the entire time.

Nekoyashiki Haru wasn't sure if the sun was shining brightly today.

However, the people next to him were quite eye-catching.

Click...

...

……

.........

"Everyone, what wishes did you make?"

On the way back, everyone chose the elevator, partly to accommodate someone who couldn't see.

Nekoyashiki Haru, who was afraid of going downstairs, naturally did not try to be brave.

"I wish that tomorrow the band would become a global sensation, and make a fortune. I'd buy all the bass guitars in the world, and then..."

"Alright, alright, I don't want to hear your terribly clichéd wishes anymore."

Ijichi Nijika brought an end to the incessant chatter of Yamada Ryo.

"Did Pochi make a wish?"

Ichi Nijika asked Goto Ichiri.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri raised his head, pursed his lips, looked at Nekoyashiki Haru, and then said.

"I hope... I can be braver in the future."

"I see..."

Ichi Nijika nodded without saying anything.

Kita Ikuyo remained silent.

Yamada Ryo glanced at the two of them.

"What did you two wish for?"

"Nothing much to say, just some things about the band~"

The kitten is a band member, isn't it? So it's a matter for the band.

Ichi Nijika thought to herself.

"I might be interested in the band!"

The senior member was also part of the band!

Kita Ikuyo thought of it.

"... "

Yamada Ryo blinked, then turned to look down at the elevator and said.

"Never mind, I wasn't telling the truth anyway."

"Huh? What did you wish for?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked."

"I won't tell you."

Yamada Ryo shook his head and said.

Goto Ichiri shuddered violently.

"Was I...was I the only one who honestly stated my wish?"

"Yili is really honest."

Nekoyashiki Haru laughed, and Goto Ichiri blushed and lowered his head.

"So what did you wish for? A kitten?"

Nijika Ichi looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"secret."

Nekoyashiki Haru closed her eyes behind her sunglasses, then smiled and said.

"It won't work if you say it out loud, there's nothing to say."

Is...is that so?

Goto Ichiri looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with a disappointed expression and asked.

"Yes, but don't worry, even though Ichiri has spoken her wish, it will still come true."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because Iri is a good kid, she gets one exemption."

"Am I...am I a good child?"

Goto Ichiri's eyes widened.

"Of course, there are probably only a handful of people in all of Japan as harmless as you."

"Hehehe... Thanks for the compliment...hehe..."

Goto Ichiri scratched his head.

Ichi Nijika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

The kitten's wish... must be related to its eyes, right?

Although he usually acts like he doesn't care, he must really be looking forward to regaining his sight, right?

But... I didn't consider the kitten at all when I made my wish.

Ichi Nijika suddenly felt unwell.
