Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Beside her, Honjo Fuuko, Uchida Yuuyu, and Hasegawa Aimi surrounded her.

"Captain, I heard you're already with Nekoyashiki-senpai?"

"Yeah, and I heard... it's a really rock and roll kind of thing..."

"So is this really the right thing to do?!"

The three of them chatted amongst themselves, while Otsuki Yuuko lowered her head.

"This is my business, you, you all don't need to care so much..."

"It's hard not to care! With so many people around... are you really being valued?"

Honjo Kaede said solemnly.

"!"

Yuuko Otsuki suddenly became alert.

"Let me tell you in advance! I'm not leaving!"

"Nobody told you to leave, but..."

Uchida extended one finger.

"If you continue as usual, you might be abandoned very soon!"

"Senior Qing would never do that!"

That's what everyone says.

Hasegawa Aimi put down the maracas in her hand.

"But it would be troublesome if we did nothing and were looked down upon as before."

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki fell silent.

...

……

.........

Its golden tail swayed gently.

The golden retriever strolled forward, with the cat Yashiki Haru holding the leash behind it.

"Four corners are so well-behaved..."

Yuyuko Otsuki whispered from the side.

"Well, it's not an ordinary golden retriever after all."

Nekoyashiki Haru pursed her lips.

"However, I am thinking of letting it go back to work after a while, after all, its main job is not to be a pet dog."

"I see..."

Yuyuko Otsuki nodded, then lowered her head and remained silent.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked at Otsuki Yuuko and suddenly smiled.

How's university?

"Huh? Ah... nothing special..."

“I heard from Hongxia that you were still keeping to yourself in college.”

"It's probably because my personality isn't likable."

Yuuko Otsuki sighed.

"They like to give instructions, are not very frank, and don't take the initiative to reach out to others..."

"But once you get to know someone a little, it's easy to be attracted to them."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"Yuyuko has a great personality."

"is that so…"

Yuuko Otsuki blushed and turned her face away.

"By the way, why are you dressed all in red today?"

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly said.

"!"

Yuuko Otsuki, wearing a red cashmere coat, trembled.

"I've found it..."

"I noticed it from the beginning, and it also had a very strong perfume scent. Actually, I sprayed a little too much."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"!"

Yuuko Otsuki's expression froze, then she turned her head away.

"There's nothing I can do! This is my first time using it..."

"I didn't mean to blame you."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"But why the sudden change in your attire?"

"...Don't you like it?"

"Of course I like her, after all, she's Yuyuko, but I think she's more natural in everyday life."

Haru Nekoyashiki reached out and patted Yuuko Otsuki's head.

"And he wasn't even wearing a hat."

"...I don't usually wear a hat, do I?"

"But Yuyuko looks cute with a hat on, so I associate hats with you in my mind."

Nekoyashiki explained.

"A cunning claim..."

Yuuko Otsuki puffed out her cheeks and then sighed.

Am I really that unattractive?

Why would you think that?

Nekoyashiki Haru was startled and stopped in her tracks.

The four corners, which were originally walking forward, were suddenly pulled back.

After a few low growls of dissatisfaction, the golden retriever lay down on the spot.

"...Because lately, you haven't come to see me much..."

Yuuko Otsuki lowered her eyes.

"So I'm wondering if it's because I'm too unattractive, maybe you're already tired of me..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was speechless for a moment.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Yuyuko Otsuki looked up at Haru Nekoyashiki, whose face was stiff, and asked.

"No, I just didn't know what to say for a moment, and I was also reflecting on myself in my heart."

Nekoyashiki Haru slowly approached Otsuki Yuuko.

"Don't worry, Yuyuko, the things you're worried about are completely unfounded. I will cherish my longing for you for the rest of my life."

"...lustful..."

Yuuko Otsuki tilted her head.

"If you say so, then it is."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"...You've said such nice things, so why haven't you contacted me much lately?"

"...I thought you needed to rest."

"Eh?"

Yuuko Otsuki paused for a moment.

“I asked Hongxia how you were doing at university, and she said you seemed to be working very hard in class, and you were also very hands-on with your group projects. You’ve also been doing a lot of [EROS] live performances lately, so I was thinking you might need some personal space. If you need me, you’ll probably let me know…”

As Nekoyashiki Haru explained, her voice suddenly trailed off.

"In short, I was a bit presumptuous... I'm sorry, Yuyuko, for making you feel uneasy."

"... "

Otsuki Yuuko's pink pupils trembled slightly.

"...That's precisely why I need you...I've had enough personal space since I was a child..."

"Yes, it won't happen again."

Nekoyashiki Haru leaned against Otsuki Yuuko and then spoke in a tone that sounded like she was being coquettish.

"Please, forgive me~"

"...I never intended to be angry with you. I was just worried that I might have done something wrong."

Yuuko Otsuki lowered her head.
