Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Such a short cassette tape.

However, the content she brought left Ichiji Hoshika still in the same place.

No… what is this?

I had a suspicion that Hongxia liked Qing... but to this extent?

How much repression are you under, little sister?!

Click!

The machine made a sound again, and knowing it was going to be replayed, Ijichi Hoshika quickly went over and turned off the player.

"Stop laughing! Stop laughing!"

With a slightly panicked shout, Ichiji Seika took out the cassette tape.

"...And what about the others, who are they...?"

Unable to resist thinking this, Ichiji Hoshika's gaze drifted towards the door.

Click.

Opening the door, Ijichi Seika quietly walked back to Ijichi Nijika's room and put the cassette tape back into the suitcase.

As for the others…

Although she hesitated, Ijichi Hoshika still didn't go to take it.

I don't want to hear anything...

Stepping out of the room, Ijichi Seika took a can of beer from the refrigerator, something she hadn't done in a long time.

Then he just sat on the sofa and, unusually for him, started drinking at home.

"Glug glug glug... Sigh..."

After taking a few sips, Ichiji Hoshika sighed.

Then they continued drinking.

"Ugh…"

Then came another sigh.

Upon discovering a previously unknown side of her younger sister, Ijichi Seika suddenly felt a chill.

I don't know where it came from...

In short, Ichika silently finished her beer and then leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

Time passed little by little, and the second hand of the alarm clock on the wall spun round and round.

Ichi Seika pursed her lips.

"...No, I have to help Hongxia..."

Ichi Hoshika has a little secret.

That is, she has always been a little bit of a sister-complex.

Of course, it's also possible that only she considers it a secret.

In short, seeing her younger sister's repressed and gloomy side, Ijichi Hoshika felt she had to do something.

Otherwise, are they just going to watch their younger sister stay in her room listening to videotapes all the time?

The real person is right here! That would be so pathetic!

Ijichi Seika realized that she had underestimated Nekoyashiki Haru's place in Ijichi Nijika's heart.

No, perhaps everyone has underestimated it...

Ichi Hoshika silently opened her phone and started booking tickets.

"Don't worry... Hongxia..."

Ijichi Hoshika's red eyes narrowed slightly.

"Your happiness... I'll help you fight for it."

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Amusement Park (1)

Friday afternoon.

Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri walked into the starry sky as usual.

Then I saw Iji Tomoka on the bar and Nekoyashiki Haru next to her.

"Good afternoon, Nekoyashiki-senpai and manager."

Kita Ikuyo greeted him with a smile.

"Ah, good afternoon."

Nekoyashiki Haru turned around and responded when she heard the voice, while Ijichi Seika next to her nodded slightly.

"Yes, good afternoon."

After giving that one curt reply, he continued to focus on typing.

"Ijichi-senpai and Ryo-senpai haven't arrived yet."

Kita Ikuyo walked to the table where everyone usually sat together and sat down.

"It will take a while."

Goto Ichiri sat down a few seats away from Kita Ikuyo.

Suddenly, the stars fell silent again.

Goto Ichiri scratched nervously on the table, and his toes curled up inside his shoes.

She looked around, avoiding eye contact with anyone.

But then he realized how conspicuous his behavior was, so he immediately lowered his head.

Click.

The door was opened.

Good afternoon, everyone!

Ijichi Nigatsu walked in with a cheerful, energetic voice, and Yamada Ryo closed the door behind her.

"good afternoon."

After nodding and saying hello, Yamada Ryo headed straight for the rehearsal room.

The rest of the band members followed, and Ijichi Nigatsu walked over and patted Nekoyashiki Haru's hand, signaling him to follow as well.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, then picked up her cane and walked toward the familiar path.

Ichi Nijika smiled and then prepared to follow.

However, at this very moment...

Snapped…

My hand was grabbed.

Ijichi Nijika turned around in confusion to look at Ijichi Seika, only to see her put her finger to her lips and gently shush.

"?"

Ichi Nijika's doubts deepened.

Ijichi Seika shook her head, took two tickets out of her pocket, and shoved them into Ijichi Nijika's hand.

"...What is this?"

Nijika Ichichi picked up the ticket and started looking at it.

"Your sister has been watching you."

Instead of answering the question directly, Ijichi Seika patted Ijichi Nijika's shoulder, revealing a smile that combined expectation and tenderness.

"…yes?"

Ichi Nijika could only nod, not quite understanding.

Then his attention returned to the ticket in his hand.

"...An amusement park?"

Ichi Nijika fell into thought.

"You can invite others to come."

Ijichi Hoshika quietly reminded him.

"Sister, you're right!"

Nijika Ichi suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Ijichi Hoshika also laughed.

"I can invite the whole band to come! That would be a great benefit for the band too!"

"Ichi Nijika said with a smile."

"?"

Ijichi Hoshika's expression suddenly froze.

"No...no, there are only two."

"Ah, you're right. Why didn't you give me a few more? I'll have to buy the rest myself..."

"No, you..."

Ichika Hoshika wanted to say something, but suddenly shut up the next moment.

Because the two had been talking for so long, the rest of the band members had already gathered around.

"Ah! Everyone! My sister just gave me amusement park tickets! Let's all go together tomorrow, it's the weekend!"
