Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Are you ready to join?

"...I never said that..."

"Iwashita Shima said helplessly, crossing her legs."

"Then you can go upstairs, or just watch from the side."

Hiroi Kikuri turned her gaze back to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"I don't have that many worries anymore... so..."

"...This is really not something you would do..."

Iwashita Shima covered her mouth.

"If it were the old you, I would never have imagined you would be so bold..."

"It's because of my past self that I was fooled for so long!"

Hiroi Kikuri shouted loudly.

"Shima! Aren't you angry at all?!"

"...Of course I'm angry...but I won't let my emotions get the better of me..."

Shima Iwashita said.

"whispering sound…"

Hiroi Kikuri let out a soft sound of dissatisfaction, then focused her attention.

"...Me! I'll give Qing happiness! I'll make that guy go back there forever!"

"...Like you now? It looks like you're just forcing yourself on others."

Iwashita Shima sighed.

"...Shut up...Just watch me love Qing properly..."

Hiroi Kikuri wanted to get up to take the next step, but a warm embrace suddenly pulled her into it.

"…clear?"

"...It's alright...it's fine without having to prove it like that..."

Nekoyashiki Haru gently stroked Hiroi Kikuri's back.

"I know that Kiku is actually very upset right now, I know that, but I don't need to prove anything, I am already happy enough."

"...It's because you're always like this...that I'm not sure..."

Hiroi Kikuri collapsed weakly in Nekoyashiki Haru's arms.

A short while later, a faint sobbing sound was heard.

Iwashita Shima breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a deep sense of loss.

Chapter 445 I'm sorry

"... "

A blonde woman walked down the street, holding an umbrella.

"...Haa..."

Splash...

The rain has started again, even though it stopped last night.

Eliza sighed, patted her pockets, and then felt relieved.

With her bright blue eyes looking ahead, she took a deep breath and walked forward.

...

……

.........

"Want to come to your place?"

Nekoyashiki Haru stared blankly at Hiroi Kikuri in front of her.

"Okay, come here."

Kikuto Hiroi said earnestly.

"...Just for today, okay?"

"Hiroi Kikuri said softly."

"...Is something going to happen?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"…I…"

Hiroi Kikuri lowered her head and began to think.

How should I tell Qing...?

"It's alright, let's go."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head and took Hiroi Kikuri's hand.

"... "

Hiroi Kikuri paused for a moment.

"No need for reasons, let's go."

Nekoyashiki Haru said, as if urging him on.

"…good…"

Hiroi Kikuri nodded, then pulled Nekoyashiki Haru away.

Before leaving, he turned and glanced at Iwashita Shima.

Iwashita Shima sighed.

"...How long can you defend yourself...?"

She walked to the coffee shop next door and came out with a cup of coffee a short while later.

Sitting down at a table outside the shop, Iwashita Shima stared straight ahead.

Even with the awning, the torrential rain still soaked Iwashita Shima's trouser legs.

"...Are you really coming?"

Iwashita Shima took a sip of coffee.

His wine-red eyes were calm, but they didn't seem as calm as they appeared.

Beneath the surface, emotions surged like a flood.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the coffee in my hand has long been finished. In the rain, a figure appears.

"...Haa..."

Iwashita Shima sighed deeply.

The figure, wearing already soaked pants, walked towards the apartment building on the other side.

Snapped!

The coffee cup slammed against the bottom of the table.

"...No need to go, there's no one there."

Shima Iwashita said.

"...!"

Eliza stiffened, then turned to look at Iwashita Shima.

"...Shima, what are you doing here?"

Are you surprised to see me here?

"...I thought it would be Kikuri..."

Eliza stopped beside Shima Iwashita, still holding the same umbrella.

"...Why do you still want to see Qing?"

Shima Iwashita looked at Eliza and asked.

"... "

Eliza folded her umbrella and sat down opposite Iwashita Shima.

“…Shima…many of what you said to me yesterday was right.”

"... "

Iwashita Shima looked at Eliza with a gloomy face.

"...I...thought a lot..."

Eliza pursed her lips.

“...I want to...seek Qing’s forgiveness.”

"... "

Iwashita Shima opened her mouth, then pursed it, then opened it slightly again and sighed.

"...Why didn't you do this sooner?"

"... "

Eliza remained silent.
