Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru fell down.

"Hey you guys, why haven't you come out yet?"

Ichi Hoshika walked backstage and then suddenly froze.

"Why are they all collapsed?!"

Faint breaths rose and fell on the ground.

"All along... I've only pretended to be cheerful... but I'm so dark inside... and I even leered at my childhood friend at night... I'm so sorry for doing that kind of thing on the kitten's bed..."

"I've been using tricks to deal with everyone...acting cute every day...and liking to post selfies on the band's account, forcing everyone to go shopping with me...I'm so sorry..."

"Owes money and doesn't pay it back... freeloads, likes to take advantage of others, eats up the school's greenery... puts his things in Hongxia's room taking up space... I'm sorry..."

"Even though I've built a harem, even though I've become a scumbag... I'm still so unenthusiastic when it comes to sleeping with everyone... I'll change in the future... I'm sorry... everyone..."

"Hey! Come quick, help them from behind! They seem to be possessed!"

"Ichika Hoshika shouted anxiously into her phone."

------------------

Actually, regarding this part of the anime, the manga explains that it was because Pochi's room was poorly ventilated for years, resulting in extremely low oxygen levels, which is why the two of them fainted.

…That feels so ridiculous.

Chapter 454 Stargazers

"Hello! My name is Big Mountain Cat! I'm a junior colleague starting work at [Starry Sky] today! Nice to meet you!!!"

The energetic, petite girl greeted him loudly, causing Nekoyashiki Haru's expression to contort in anger.

"The sound...the sound is so loud..."

Ichi Nijika covered her ears.

"Ah! Kita-senpai! Hippie-senpai!"

The girl quickly looked at the two people next to Ijichi Nijika.

"You guys are here too?!"

"Yes, why did you decide to come here to work?"

Kita Ikuyo asked with a smile.

"...Uh...Do you know Kita?"

Ichi Nijika looked at Kita Ikuyo and asked.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo smiled and shook her head.

"Actually, I don't remember."

"Your greeting just now was so natural!"

"Because at school, there are often strangers who recognize me, and I've gotten used to it over time."

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"...Is this what a campus celebrity is like...?"

"Yamada Ryo, standing behind Ijichi Nijika, sighed."

"By the way, who is this Dashan... this hippie senior?"

"That's her!"

The big mountain cat pointed to Goto Ichiri.

"!"

Goto Ichiri's body stiffened.

"So he knows Pochi?!"

Nijika Ichichi's eyes widened in disbelief, then she looked at Ichiri Goto, who was hiding behind Haru Nekoyashiki.

"Eh... I, I, I, I don't remember!"

Goto Ichiri shook his head frantically.

"So... how did Ooyama-kun meet Pochi?"

Ichi Nijika looked at the mountain cat.

"Yeah, it's normal for people to know me, but it's not so normal for them to know Xiao Yili."

Kita Ikuyo's expression remained normal.

"...You're pretty good at making sarcastic remarks."

"Yamada Ryo said."

"Because I performed at the school festival before, and I dressed up as a hippie to come to school at the beginning of the semester, I'm called Hippie Senior!!!"

"...Let's put those things aside for now. Could you please speak a little softer?"

Unable to tolerate the torment of others' loud noises, Nekoyashiki Haru said, squinting her eyes.

"Ah! You..."

The lynx squinted its eyes.

"Wow, these colored contact lenses are amazing!!!"

"...I already told you to speak softly."

Nekoyashiki Haru's tone was helpless.

"That person is considered your senior at [Starry Sky], so it's best to show him some respect."

Leading a black-haired girl, Ijichi Seika walked over and said.

"Huh? Is he a senior employee here?!"

"Oh, I see. So it's better to leave a good impression."

Ichika nodded with a smile.

Nekoyashiki Haru pursed her lips.

Actually, he was planning to announce his resignation today…

"Sister, why did you suddenly hire people to work?"

Nijika Ijichi looked at Hoshika Ijichi and asked.

"...Because you're all busy now, aren't you...and you're coming to [Starry Sky] less often, so it's normal for me to hire people, right?"

Ichi Hoshika explained.

"Ah! Senior Ryo!"

Beside Ijichi Seika, the black-haired girl walked over in a few quick steps.

"!"

Yamada Ryo's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"You're not hallucinating as my past self, are you?"

Kita Ikuyo sighed.

"Ah! You all look so radiant today! Especially Lord Liang, you're still as dashing as ever..."

Hearts sparkled in the black-haired girl's eyes.

Nekoyashiki Haru narrowed her eyes slightly.

"...Who is this guy? Have we met him before?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Ijichi Nijika and asked.

"...Ah...it seems to be from before...[Angel's Dandruff]?"

Ichi Nijika recalled.

"It's the angel's stratum corneum!"

The black-haired girl shook her head.

"My name is Hinata Eren! I was deeply moved after watching your performance before! So now I'm your sole fan! Of course, my biggest idol is the handsome Ryo-senpai! Oh ho ho... I can't believe I got to see Ryo-senpai up close..."

Red liquid slowly flowed from the girl's nasal cavity.

"Alas…"

Kita Ikuyo frowned and cautiously nudged Ichiji Nijika with her shoulder.

Was I like this before?

"...You're much better than her..."

"Ichi Nijika whispered."

"Um! Senior Ryo, could you give me your autograph? Or... or shake my hand?"

"don't want…"

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"Thank you so much! I received a 'no' from my idol!!!"

Hinata Ena suddenly gushed blood from her nose.

"Aha…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed and stepped forward.

"I understand how you feel, but could you please move a little further away from Liang? You're getting a little too close."

"Ah... um, I remember you were a new member of [The End Band]?"

Hinata Eren looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.
