Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Kita Ikuyo covered the guitar with her phone.

"...Isn't it a little too good at sharing your life?"

"...Maybe...that's how all popular people are?"

"Ichi Nijika said."

No, it won't.

Kita Ikuyo looked at Iji Chikatsu seriously and shook her head.

"It all feels like a lie."

"Yamada Ryo said."

"Oh, it's okay. As long as her guitar skills are genuine, that's all that matters. I'd really like to play with her."

"Ichi Nijika said, then looked at Goto Ichiri, who had been quiet all along.

Then he froze.

"Po...Qi?"

Sitting on the chair, Goto Ichiri stared blankly at the floor.

The guitar hung on her body like a shackle.

My body started to shrink, as if I hadn't eaten for days.

"Pochi?!"

Ichi Nijika quickly stepped forward and shook Goto Ichiri.

Click, click, click.

The fragile skeleton made a strange noise.

"Poch has turned into a mummy!!!"

Nijika Ichichi cried out, clutching her head.

"Would you like some water?!"

Kita Ikuyo twisted open the bottle cap and handed over the mineral water.

"Can I drink it now!?"

Nijika Ichi closed her eyes and continued shouting.

"... "

Yamada Ryo opened his eyes wide.

"It can actually... bypass the sedimentation of time and become a mummy? This... might be quite amazing."

"Alright, stop sighing and come help!"

...

……

.........

"what!"

Sitting up from the coffin, Goto Ichiri looked around in confusion.

They're no longer in the rehearsal room; they're in the starry field, where several people are looking at Goto Ichiri with concern beside the coffin.

"You're awake..."

Kita Ikuyo breathed a sigh of relief.

"You just lost consciousness. Pochi can be really scary sometimes."

Ichi Nijika also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"You are truly of great research value. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the progress of humanity?"

"No, no, no, no, that won't do!"

Goto Ichiri shook his head vigorously in refusal.

At the bar next door, Nekoyashiki Haru, Ijichi Seika and Pa-san were sitting.

Ijichi Hoshika took a sip of juice.

"What's wrong with Pochi?"

"It must be because I listened to the video introduction of 'Guitar Hero' and then I broke down."

"...That's way too fragile... But speaking of which, [Guitar Hero]..."

Ichi Seika was sucking on a straw.

"I didn't listen carefully, but it sounded quite similar to Ichiri's guitar. According to Hongxia, it's the same guitar as Ichiri's."

"Sigh~ Maybe it's Goto-kun."

Pa-san said with a smile.

Ichi Hoshika opened her phone and scrolled through the video description.

"...What is all this...?"

"What are your thoughts on these introductions, Sister Xingge?"

"Those with a strong desire to share seem fake."

Ichiji Hoshika nodded.

"Hey... why do you all seem to think there's something wrong with what you're listening to? I think it's fine."

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"You don't quite understand. Just think of it as an abnormality that only women can feel."

Ichiji Hoshika's explanation.

"is it?"

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke to Ijichi Seika.

"She really is a mature woman, Sister Xingge."

"?!"

Ijichi Hoshika opened her eyes wide, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she turned her head away.

Why are you suddenly praising me... Are you trying so hard to please me?

Thinking to herself, Ichiji Hoshika responded.

"oh oh."

"Alright, I'll go check on Yili."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, then stepped off the chair and leaned towards Goto Ichiri.

"... "

Ichi Seika drank her juice with a restless mind.

Pa-san next to him blinked.

"Manager, are you feeling unwell?"

"No ..."

Ijichi Seika shook her head, then looked at Pa-san.

"You look quite flirtatious."

"what?"

"So... have you ever been in a relationship?"

"Gu..."

Pa-san looked hurt.

"I'm sorry, I've never been in a relationship and I'm still single."

"...Has that been studied?"

Ichi Hoshika continued to ask.

"what?"

Pa tilted his head.

"Manager, just say what you want to say."

"... "

Ijichi Seika remained silent for a moment, then approached Pa-san.

"...Well...I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"Yeah, do you think Qing might like me?"

"What the hell! Manager, you've gone this far?!"

Pa-san opened his eyes wide.

"Yili? Is everything alright now?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
