Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Wait... what are you laughing at?"

Ijichi Hoshika hesitated for a moment before asking, but Nekoyashiki Haru didn't answer. Instead, she gently tapped out a rhythm with her hand.

You didn't see it wrong, no, you should say you heard it right.

Your hearts reflect your music, and the colors are absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you, thank you...

thanks…

boom!

Suddenly, he was hit on the head, which snapped Nekoyashiki Haru back to his slightly manic state.

"Sister Xingge? Why did you hit me?"

"...You were acting like you were possessed, no wonder I beat you up."

"What possession? I was just too excited!"

"...What's there to get excited about? The performance? It's nowhere near as good as yours, is it?"

"What do you know! I'm hearing something much deeper!"

"What utter nonsense..."

"Gentlemen, stop arguing and listen carefully."

Pa-san reminded him.

Ijichi Seika and Nekoyashiki Haru both paused for a moment, then turned back to face the stage.

I listened intently as the band's performance ended.

At that moment, as the last syllable fell, Kita Ikuyo, panting heavily, looked at the others.

The others also looked at each other.

They were all sweating and panting.

After confirming the condition of their bandmates, the four looked down at the audience, nervously awaiting the judges' comments.

"...Not bad, right?"

"Ichi Hoshika said."

"Although I really want to..."

She was about to utter the lines she had memorized when she was interrupted by Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Very good! Excellent! Maintaining this level during the performance is absolutely no problem! Don't worry about what Sister Xingge says! She's just trying to suppress us by reciting scripts and formulas!"

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her arm.

"You passed!! *Gurgle*"

Suddenly, Haruto Nekoyashiki was covered in the mouth by Ijichi Seika, who was sitting next to her.

"You little rascal!!!"

Chapter Sixty-Four: Arrogant and Aloof (Second Update)

"So, it passed?"

"Ichi Nijika asked blankly."

Ijichi Hoshika was still covering Nekoyashiki Haru's mouth, while Pa-san, the only one who was free, nodded and smiled.

"Yes, it's approved."

All four of them showed expressions of surprise at the same time.

"Tsk... It passed! But there are still problems, you understand?"

Ijichi Hoshika pushed Nekoyashiki Haru under the table, then looked up and said.

"The drummer was stiff, the two guitarists kept their heads down all day and never looked at the audience, and the bassist was completely absorbed in his own world..."

Snapped!

With a crisp sound, Nekoyashiki Haru grabbed Ijichi Hoshika's hand and pulled her under the table, while she herself looked up from under the table and called out.

"These aren't big problems. The drummer is just a little nervous. Even guitarists in top bands look down at their guitars. Being immersed in their own world is a true reflection of a bassist's personality... Ugh!"

Grabbing her collar, Nekoyashiki Haru was pulled down again, while Ijichi Seika climbed back up from under the table.

"These are all serious problems! They must be fixed quickly, and even setting that aside, your performance wasn't good enough...?!"

Nekoyashiki Haru pulled Ijichi Seika up by the shoulder.

"But the growth is obvious! You're on the right track, don't listen to what this 29-year-old auntie says."

"What did you call me?!"

"A 29-year-old auntie! She still likes to act arrogant and play the bad cop, and even the critical comments she makes are memorized!"

"clear!!!"

Enraged, Ijichi Seika pinned Nekoyashiki Haru to the ground.

"You've grown quite the big shot, haven't you?! Have you forgotten how you called me 'sister' when we were little?!"

"So all these years you haven't improved at all, Sister Xingge? Just praise me openly, why resort to such pointless belittling tactics?"

"What's it to you?! I'm doing this all for the good of Hongxia's band. You know how worried I am about them facing setbacks in the future..."

As soon as she said it, Ichiji Seika's face turned bright red.

"Ah, you said it."

Pa covered his mouth and laughed.

"You said it out loud."

Nekoyashiki Haru also laughed.

"You...the two of you?!"

Ijichi Seika stood up, looking at the two of them in shock.

Footsteps sounded quickly behind me.

Ichiko Hoshika paused for a moment, then turned around, and a yellow blob rushed into her arms.

"elder sister!"

Ijichi Nijika suddenly hugged Ijichi Seika.

"Thank you so much, sister! I knew you cared about our band!"

"Ah... well... almost... about the same... I'm just a little concerned."

Ijichi Seika blushed deeply and gently hugged Ijichi Nijika, yet she maintained her haughty attitude.

Nekoyashiki Haru sat up from the ground.

Kita Ikuyo came over, took Nekoyashiki Haru's hand, and slowly helped him to his feet.

"I understood long ago."

Yamada Ryo walked over smugly.

"It's all over. Say whatever you want."

Nijika Ijichi, nestled in Ijichi Seika's arms, turned to look at Ryo Yamada and said helplessly.

"Wait a minute? Where's Goto-kun?"

Kita Ikuyo paused for a moment, then looked at the stage.

Goto Ichiri trembled on the stage.

"Goto-kun?"

I'm...sorry...

Goto Ichiri ran to the trash can and grabbed it.

"vomit!!!!"

"Goto-kun?!?!?!?!"

...

……

.........

After vomiting rainbows, Goto Ichiri stood blankly behind the drink counter.

"I...I still can't quite believe it...it actually happened..."

"Of course."

Nekoyashiki Haru, who was standing next to her, spoke up.

"It's just unreasonable that we haven't succeeded after trying so hard."

"…Um"

Goto Ichiri looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and responded softly.

"One li."

"Ok?"

Are you hiding your true strength?

"Ugh?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned.

"During the assessment just now, there was a period when your level suddenly improved."

Nekoyashiki Haru asked Goto Ichiri.
