Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Kita Ikuyo nodded and said.

Nekoyashiki Haru's body relaxed.

"Alright, alright, stop leaning on me."

"... "

Kita Yukiyo pouted.

She actually wanted to lean on it for a while longer.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

Nekoyashiki Haru put her phone back in her pocket, then suddenly froze.

"...Where are my keys...?"

"Ok?"

Kita Ikuyo was taken aback.

"I just lost my house key?"

Nekoyashiki Haru's expression began to tense up.

"Oh no, I don't have a spare key."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo stared blankly at Nekoyashiki Haru as her gaze shifted downwards.

The silver-white key was on the ground; it must have been taken out with the phone just now.

But at this moment, Nekoyashiki Haru's hand almost always missed the key.

The unseen inconveniences...

Kita Ikuyo gently picked up the key, intending to hand it to Nekoyashiki Haru.

But it stopped in mid-air.

"...Senior, you never had a spare key?"

"It's at home... but I can't get in without the key..."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"If we can't find it, we'll have to bother a locksmith."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo silently reached into her bag and took out a bar of soap.

Gently tearing open the soap packaging, Kita Ikuyo recalled a scene from the movie and pressed the key onto the soap.

"... "

After confirming that the pressure was clear enough, Kita Ikuyo got up and walked to the other side.

She then scraped the soap off the keyhole with her fingernail and went back to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Found the senior, he's here."

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head in confusion.

Where did you find it?

"On the other side."

Why were you there?

"I don't know. Maybe the senior put the key in the coat pocket and accidentally dropped it there when they put it on me?"

Kita Ikuyo smiled.

"It's okay, it's good that we found it!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and then took the key.

"That's good, no need to bother the locksmith."

"...It might require the help of a locksmith."

"why?"

Nekoyashiki asked, puzzled.

"Hmm? I was just saying."

Kita Ikuyo smiled and shook her head.

"Ijichi-senpai should be here soon."

Kita Ikuyo sat down again next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Sit down and wait a while."

Then she leaned against Nekoyashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback.

But he didn't say anything.

A yellow figure appeared in the rain.

She was holding a black umbrella and could see the two of them from afar.

"!"

Ichi Niji Natsumi was slightly taken aback.

Kita Ikuyo leaned against Nekoyashiki Haru, their figures appearing perfectly harmonious against the backdrop of the rain.

"... "

Ichi Nijika pursed her lips.

The emotions in my heart turned into a noose, strangling my lungs and suffocating me.

"…call…"

Taking a deep breath, Ichiji Nijika walked quickly toward the two of them.

"You two..."

Speaking to alert the two of their arrival, Nekoyashiki Haru looked up, and Kita Ikuyo also opened her eyes.

Ichi Nijika sighed and then handed the two umbrellas she had bought from the convenience store to the two of them.

"You can go home now."

"Um…"

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"it is good…"

Kita Ikuyo nodded and hugged the bag containing the soap tightly.

...

……

.........

Nekoyashiki Haru's apartment.

Since Kita Ikuyo had to take the train home, it was Iji Chi Nijika who ended up taking Nekoyashiki Haru home.

As soon as she got home, the cat, Haru, went straight into the bedroom.

“Hongxia can go back now... Thank you for today.”

"…Um…"

Ichi Nijika nodded slightly, the image of the two of them leaning against each other in the rain replaying in her mind.

"... "

How far has it gotten...?

As she pondered, Ichiji Nijika opened the door.

Then slam it shut.

The cat, Shiki, looked up from the bathroom.

"Have they left...?"

They're gone...

Ichi Niji Natsumi, standing at the bathroom door, narrowed her eyes.

Nekoyashiki Haru closed the bathroom door.

Soon after, the sound of rushing water came from inside.

"... "

Ichi Nijika listened to the sound of the water in silence.

The kitten got soaked today... it might catch a cold tomorrow...

Sigh... this is really bad timing...

The heavy rain shattered Ichiji Nijika's plans to expand her photo collection.

Kita invited the kitten out tonight... Is it so he can be alone with her?

Indeed... I rarely have any opportunities to be alone, and I even interrupted the only time I could be alone with my cat while he practiced guitar.

Sure enough... if we don't keep an eye on him, Kita will take advantage of the situation.

Ichi Nijika covered her face.
