Lonely Rock for the Blind.

On the road.

"Temple fair! Temple fair! Fireworks display! Catching goldfish, eating snacks, drawing lots with your lover, and finally sealing your love with a kiss under the witness of fireworks!"

Eliza, wearing a yellow yukata, said with a light laugh.

The yukata was covered with all sorts of spring flowers, and there seemed to be some sequins embedded in it, tied into a golden bow at the back waist.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo, wearing a blue yukata and carrying a guitar bag, looked up.

The blue yukata was devoid of any extra decorations, with a purple sash at the back, contrasting sharply with Kita Ikuyo's bright red hair. If you added her relaxed and bright smile, Goto Ichiri would surely be instantly captivated.

However, at this moment, she stared blankly at Eliza's impressive chest.

Then I looked at my own.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo raised her head expressionlessly, staring straight ahead as she muttered to herself.

"It's because of my age, there's nothing I can do about it."

Hiroi Kikuri, who hadn't changed into her yukata, noticed Kita Ikuyo's words and the way she looked at Eliza's chest, and walked over with a grin.

"Is Xiaohong 16 this year?"

"Yes? What's wrong?"

"Eliza is very big!"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo looked at Hiroi Kikuri with a disgusted expression.

"...What kind of expression is that, Xiao Hong?"

"Hiroi-senpai is sexually harassing me..."

"You were staring at that spot just now, too."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo turned her head away and stopped talking.

Kikuri Hiroi scratched her head and then continued.

"Actually, what I wanted to tell you was that when I was your age, my chest was about the same size as yours."

"...?"

Kita Ikuyo looked at Hiroi Kikuri, not realizing what was happening at first, but then she looked down at the other's chest and understood everything.

"Are you saying I have no hope for the future?!"

"No, there's still hope. I just wanted to tell Xiaohong..."

Snapped!

I was patted on the shoulder.

Kikuri Hiroi opened her eyes, revealing a sense of sorrow.

"Don't get your hopes up... or you'll be very sad later."

"?!?!"

The words, spoken as if by a ghost from the underworld, sent chills down Kita Ikuyo's spine.

He looked around and then spotted a nearby convenience store.

Kita Ikuyo is starting her preparations to enter the convenience store market.

"Little Kita?"

Seeing Kita Ikuyo's unusual behavior, Ichi Nijika paused for a moment.

She was wearing a white yukata with soft, curved lines, tied in a pink bow at the back.

"what happened?"

"...Ijichi-senpai... is the same."

Kita Ikuyo glanced at Iji Chikatsu's chest.

"... "

Then he ran into the convenience store.

"?"

Nijika tilted her head, and then a moment later, she saw Kita Ikuyo rush back.

"Here you go! Ijichi-senpai."

"what?"

Ijichi Nijika took a bottle of liquid and paused for a moment.

"milk."

"From today onwards, Ijichi-senpai! Let's work hard together!"

"Huh?! I don't understand at all, what's the point of trying?"

Yamada Ryo came closer.

The gray-blue yukata looked like men's clothing, and even the bow at the back was several sizes smaller.

"Give me a bottle."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo looked at Yamada Ryo.

"Senior Liang, there's no need for you to drink."

"?"

Yamada Ryo blinked.

Goto Ichiri, noticing that the band members had gathered on the other side, shuddered.

Oh no... Oh no?! Am I being isolated?!

No way!

She quickly went over.

Think about how the band members greet each other!

"Yo...yo! Man!"

"... "

Nijika Ichi and Ryo Yamada looked at Ichiri Goto speechlessly, while Ikuyo Kita was still trying to drink her milk.

"I'm...sorry! It should be...girl!"

"Sigh, there's no need for Yili to greet me like that."

Ichi Natsumi patted Goto Ichiri on the shoulder and then handed him the milk.

Would you like some milk?

"Ah... thank you..."

"?!"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide, then stepped forward and pressed down the milk.

"Goto-kun can't drink milk anymore!"

"Ugh?"

Goto Ichiri was taken aback.

Kita Ikuyo recalled the scene at the family restaurant where Goto Ichiri took off his coat.

The amount of space that "exploded" out... can only be described as "the sky collapsing."

"If Goto keeps drinking, we'll never catch up in our entire lives!!!"

Kita Ikuyo broke down.

"what?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

"?"

Yamada Ryo tilted his head.

"...I...I'm crooked too."

Goto Ichiri quickly tilted his head.

At the back of the group, Ichiji Hoshika sighed as she watched the four people in the distance start making a ruckus.

"I'm so happy."

"really."

Iwashita Shima nodded.

"Ah, youth."

Listening to the chattering of a few people in the distance, even though she couldn't make out what they were saying, Nekoyashiki Haru felt as if she had become a few years younger.

"You're the same age as Hongxia, so don't act like an old man."

"Ichiyoshi sighed."

"How can I, an old man, be a good match for you, Sister Xingge?"

"?!?!"

Ijichi Hoshika suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.
