Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"When it comes to paid games, 500 yen can buy you five minutes of gameplay."

"...Does the rice cake belong to the person who made it?"

"I will not return."

Shima Iwashita said.

Hiroi Kikuri squatted on the ground, a straw in her mouth, sipping the demon slayer sake little by little, afraid that she would finish it all if she wasn't careful.

"I want to go back, I'm so bored!"

Perhaps because she hadn't consumed enough alcohol, Hiroi Kikuri was currently somewhere between high and low.

"... "

Iji Tomoka, blowing her little windmill, shrugged after hearing Hiroi Kikuri's complaint.

"Speaking of which, doesn't Pochi need your comforting anymore?"

Ijichi Hoshika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

Kita took her to find a place to take pictures.

Iwashita Shima paused for a moment, then looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"Didn't they contact you?"

"They originally wanted to talk to me, but I recommended Yili to her instead."

"... "

Iwashita Shima raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Suddenly, Ichiji Hoshika paused for a moment.

"Um... Pochi is back, but Kita isn't here."

"Haa...haa...haa..."

Goto Ichiri stopped in front of the adults, panting heavily.

"Hey...hey...hey...my classmate...cough cough...my classmate is missing...haa..."

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

...

……

.........

"No...no...I can't...Kita-kun...I'm too tired..."

Goto Ichiri, panting heavily as he was being dragged around, looked at Kita Ikuyo, who was holding a selfie stick, and said...

"It's only just begun, Goto-kun's stamina is really bad!"

"I'm...sorry...but I really can't...sigh..."

"Ugh…"

Kita Ikuyo sighed regretfully, while Goto Ichiri slumped on the bench, his eyes closed as if he were dead.

"…Ugh…"

Kita Ikuyo sighed again, and suddenly, a glint of green light appeared in the corner of her eye.

"?"

Looking towards the woods behind the bench, clusters of light dancing in the trees swirled together in the air.

"firefly?"

Kita Ikuyo paused for a moment, and a simple formula popped into her mind.

Kita Ikuyo took her guitar to take a photo with the fireflies.

Kita Ikuyo uploaded the photos to her social media account.

Kita Ikuyo received a thousand likes and gained several hundred followers.

Okay, the answer is in.

Let's take a picture with fireflies!

Kita Ikuyo wanted to wake Goto Ichiri up, but when she realized that Goto Ichiri really looked like he was about to die, she gave up on the idea.

Kita Ikuyo quietly approached the firefly as she walked across the bench.

It looks close, but it's actually quite far.

After going a little deeper, Kita Ikuyo finally found a good spot, and the fireflies didn't run away either.

Kita Ikuyo squatted down, then raised the selfie stick, smiled, and made a peace sign with her hand to her face.

then…

Just as Kita Ikuyo was about to capture this rare moment on camera, a sudden burst of intense guitar music rang out.

The green light burst open instantly, the fireflies flew away abruptly, and Kita Ikuyo's smile froze on her face.

"?"

She stood up, turned her head in confusion, and saw a woman dressed in punk style walking over, dragging two speakers behind her.

"... "

Seeing that the person was a stranger, Kita Ikuyo quietly suppressed her resentment.

"Um, who are you...?"

I've come to find you!

Clang!

The woman suddenly started playing the guitar, and the high notes coming from the speaker startled Kita Ikuyo.

"...Looking for me?"

Kita Ikuyo was taken aback.

"Um... let me introduce myself first. My name is Kita. Your name doesn't matter, just call me Kita. How should I address you?"

You can call me whatever you want!

Boom!

The speaker was placed on the ground, and the woman's eyes gleamed.

"I have long since abandoned my name!"

"?"

"To get revenge on that guy, names are completely unnecessary!"

"...I think your parents will be sad..."

"If you must call me, then call me the Ghost of Vengeance!"

"I have absolutely no idea what you mean!"

Kita Ikuyo sighed, then prepared to head back towards the temple fair.

"I'll head back now, sorry."

"Wait a moment!"

The woman stopped Kita Ikuyo.

"Even if you want revenge, you shouldn't be looking for me... I don't even know you."

Kita Ikuyo silently turned to look at the woman.

The woman simply shook her head, then pointed to Kita Ikuyo's neck.

"That thing! It's genuine, right?"

"?!"

Kita Ikuyo was startled, then subconsciously gripped the dial at her neck.

"I bought it!"

"That's the real deal. I'll never forget how many times I lost to him!"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes widened suddenly.

So... you've come to cause trouble for [Band Hunter], no, my senior?

"You know that guy, right?"

clank?!

The aggressive guitar sound rang out once again.

"He finally showed up! Do you know how I spent the last few months he was gone?! I didn't even watch anime!"

"...So you're like this because you watch anime all the time?"

Kita Ikuyo became even more determined to never touch anime again.

"Never mind that! Get that guy over here!"

"I won't scream!"

"Why?!"

"Because you're looking for trouble with your senior, right?!"

"senior?"

The woman paused for a moment, then asked.

"Who are you to him?"

"Ugh?"
