Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru got out of the car with an umbrella, followed by the members of SICKHACK.

"...They've finally arrived..."

Nekoyashiki Haru looked up, sighed, paid the bill, and Otsuki Yuuko got out of the passenger seat.

"Did Senior Haru know from the beginning that the typhoon was coming?"

Yuyuko Otsuki asked Haru Nekoyashiki.

"I just have a feeling... the air is getting more and more humid."

"The internet says the typhoon turned almost straight towards us."

Shima Iwashita put down her phone and said.

"Bad luck."

"…Um."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

After all, it was clearly agreed from the beginning that it wouldn't affect this place.

But who would have thought that the typhoon would make a sharp turn like x=y2?

"Let's go take a look..."

Nekoyashiki Haru stepped into the starry sky, and sure enough...

The four little ones' sighs, as if their faces had turned pale, scattered among the starry corners.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru narrowed her eyes.

"Kitten? You're back..."

Ichiji Nijika forced a smile.

"The typhoon came suddenly... Everyone's a little demotivated... Ah!"

Seeing the group of people walking in behind Nekoyashiki Haru, Iji Chi Niji Natsumi showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Thank you all for coming in such terrible weather! Thank you!"

"No need to thank me, Xiao Qing asked a driver to bring it over for us."

Eliza said with a smile.

"... "

Ichi Nijika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"kitten…"

Before they could finish speaking, a girl with brown hair and pigtails walked over from behind them.

I originally wanted to pretend, but then I realized it wasn't necessary.

Yuyuko Otsuki wanted to come and see this band's final act for herself.

These past few days, Kiku-ri has been constantly talking about this band in my ear.

Something like Senior Haru really likes this band, so maybe she'll join.

At that moment, Yuyuko Otsuki couldn't sit still any longer!

That's why she's here now; in fact, she would have come even if Nekoyashiki Haru hadn't invited her.

"Uh... hello?"

"...Are you the drummer for the band's finale?"

A few seats away, Otsuki Yuuko squinted and asked.

This surprised Ichiji Nijika for a moment.

Are they up to no good?

Yuuko Otsuki narrowed her eyes a little more and frowned.

Has your nearsightedness gotten worse? You still can't see clearly...

Yuyuko Otsuki squinted her eyes into slits again.

Ichi Nijika opened her eyes wide.

Does this guy hate me that much?!

"...I'm the drummer...so what?"

Ichi Nijika decided it would be better to answer the questions first.

Otsuki Yuuyu's bullet eyes finally focused, and then she looked Ichi Nijika up and down.

"...Look...it doesn't seem like a big deal..."

What's going on?! This guy seems so lively and cheerful! Is he the type who has a lot of friends?

"...Uh...well, our band is indeed just starting out, so there are probably many shortcomings, but..."

"I... I have no interest in your band at all! I only came because Qing-senpai invited me... no, because Qing-senpai asked me to come! Otherwise, I would never come!"

"Otsuki Yuuko turned her head and said."

Kita Ikuyo, who had been observing the situation quietly, was taken aback.

Senior Haru?

"... "

The room suddenly fell silent.

Yuyuko Otsuki paused for a moment, then looked up and saw that Niji Natsumi was sighing with her head down.

"?!"

Yuuko Otsuki opened her mouth and waved her hand, looking at the adults behind her.

"That's so mean, Yuyuko~"

Hiroi Kikuri said with a grin.

By the way, she drank 3 boxes today.

"That's a bit excessive."

Iwashita Shima nodded in agreement.

Eliza, however, continued to watch with a smile.

"Everyone...it's okay! After all, the band is just starting out! Things will definitely get better in the future!"

Nijika Ichichi had already walked up to her members and was trying to cheer them up.

"?!?!"

Yuyuko Otsuki opened her eyes wide, then took a step forward, followed by two steps back.

What should I do?! Are you heartbroken?! Did I go too far?

Wait a minute? It does seem a bit excessive?

Seeing the four members of the band almost hugging each other in comfort as they finished their performance in the distance, Yuyuko Otsuki finally couldn't take it anymore.

She ran up to the four members of the band who had finished their performance.

"While I may not be interested at first, it doesn't mean I won't be interested in the future! It mainly depends on your performance! You understand? I'm not saying I look down on you, it's just... ahh..."

Yuyuko Otsuki scratched her head, then widened her eyes and said.

"Go for it!"

Then he turned around and ran behind Nekoyashiki Haru to hide.

"..." × 4

All four fell silent.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled and said.

"He's a good boy, isn't he?"

"Yeah, just like her older sister, she's a tsundere!"

"Ichi Nijika said with a smile."

Kita Ikuyo blinked her yellow-green eyes, looking at Ootsuki Yuuko, who was peeking out from behind Nekoyashiki Haru.

"... "

"Alright, everyone! Let's go to the rehearsal!"

Ichi Nijika said, hands on her hips.

"Everyone! Although there might not be many people coming, you must give it your all!"

Ichi Nijika deliberately laughed.

"Sprint! Charge!!!"

"it is good."

Yamada Ryo was the first to respond.

Because the response was so quick, Ichiji Nijika was slightly taken aback, and then Yamada Ryo pushed her back.

"Let's go."

"…Um!"

Kita Ikuyo, who was standing next to him, was about to pull Goto Ichiri along when Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly spoke up.

"Yili, can you come over here for a moment? I have something to tell you."

"Ugh?"

Goto Ichiri tilted his head.
