Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Goto Ichiri was still smelling it…

It seemed that because Nekoyashiki Haru didn't seem to resist much, Goto Ichiri sniffed even harder.

Goto Ichiri shook his head happily.

I feel like Qing and I are kind of partners...

I become socially anxious without him, and I can't find my way without him.

Hehe...it feels so great...

And...maybe the couple's plan really will come true...I originally had no hope of dating someone of the opposite sex before I turned 30.

But... but is Haru really okay?

He doesn't mind my looks and he's so kind to me. Most importantly, I finally have a male friend my age whom I can get to know.

And since he can't see... my usual deformed appearance probably wouldn't scare him... if anyone were to fall for me, it would definitely be someone like Qing?

I feel so shameless about this...

But Goto Ichiri, who had a clear understanding of himself, knew very well that this might be his only chance.

But... but, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, right?

...

……

.........

Haru's Nekoyashiki House.

After buying the ingredients, the group chose Nekoyashiki Haruya's house as their gathering place.

After all, other places are not very suitable, and single men's apartments where the girls live alone and have no bad habits have become the first choice for the girls' band's activities.

click!

The pot was placed on the induction cooker, and the soup inside was already boiling.

"Um... just in case, let me ask first, does anyone have any specific food allergies?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked."

"I didn't."

Kita Ikuyo said.

Goto Ichiri nodded as well.

Yamada Ryo can eat anything without any problem.

"...No cilantro."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"Oh right... Kitten, you don't like cilantro."

Ichi Nijika smiled.

"But don't worry, there's no cilantro!"

After saying that, Ichiji Nijika raised her hand.

"Alright! Let's begin!"

*Smack!*

The lights went out, plunging the room into complete darkness.

Chapter 108 Hidden Pot

In complete darkness.

The group took out the ingredients they had bought from the supermarket and put them into the hot pot one by one.

Glug glug glug glug...

The origin of this game, which is almost a desecration of hot pot, is unknown, but it is certain that the first person to play this game was definitely not a lonely person without friends.

Goto Ichiri swallowed hard; she was the first one in line.

The wooden chopsticks darted towards the gurgling, wailing abyss of despair ahead, and a dark, indistinct object was picked up.

"...?"

It's oval...it looks like an egg?

After placing the unknown object in the bowl, Goto Ichiri remained silent for a moment.

Turning his head, he saw three pairs of eyes staring at him from the darkness.

"... "

Goto Ichiri put the egg-shaped object, which had both a soft and hard exterior, into his mouth.

Click...

The rich flavor of chocolate, mixed with the saltiness of the hot pot broth, surged up my throat, as evil as the breath of a god emerging from the ruins at the bottom of a dark abyss.

Sweet and salty should never be combined so abruptly.

"Gulp... This... This is..."

Goto Ichiri's pupils trembled. She looked up, and the dim smiles of the others revealed something to her.

The hidden pot... is a truly dark game.

Kind people will suffer losses, and unkind people cannot escape them either.

A dark game that tests the limits of human nature and dietary habits!

"Gu..."

Goto Ichiri was still struggling to eat, while Kita Ikuyo blinked.

The seat my senior is sitting in... I think I can reach it if I stretch my legs out...

Think about it carefully, it's quite normal to accidentally bump into someone's foot when adjusting your position because you can't see and feel uncomfortable, right?

Kita Ikuyo swallowed hard, then slowly stretched out her leg in the darkness toward Nekoya Shikiharu's position.

"?"

Suddenly feeling someone touch her calf with their toe, Nekoyashiki Haru looked towards Kita Ikuyo in confusion.

There was no response; it seems it was accidental.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Then, a short while later, the foot that had just touched her calf and then pulled away came closer again and poked Nekoyashiki Haru's calf once more.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Yudai... what's wrong?"

"It was an accident, I'm not quite used to this environment yet, hehe."

"…is that so?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked doubtfully.

At that moment, Goto Ichiri suddenly raised his head.

"I...I'm finished eating...Next..."

"My turn..."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, then, listening to the gurgling roar of the abyss, she dipped her chopsticks into the pot and took out a large number of strangely shaped things.

Looking at that shape, Yamada Ryo's eyes slowly widened.

Hey, mine.

Nekoyashiki placed the strange, flaky object in the bowl, remained silent for a moment, and then took a small bite.

The strong smell of Chinese medicine hit me.

"...Is this some kind of Chinese medicinal herb...?"

"Uh... it's impossible to predict what's in this pot."

Smelling that eerie odor, Ichiji Nijika now felt that playing this game was definitely a mistake.

With a quick dip of chopsticks into the pot, the soft, wet contents are scooped out.

She placed it in a bowl and took a small bite.

*Smash!*

The scalding juice burst in her mouth, and Ijichi Nijika's body suddenly jumped to the side.

"hot!"

And just like that, he jumped into Nekoyashiki Haru's arms.

Kita Ikuyo, seeing this scene through the dim light of the induction cooker, opened her eyes wide.

I only dared to touch it with my feet, how did you end up lying on top of me?!

Startled by the sudden pounce of Nekoyashiki Haru in the darkness, she instinctively hugged Ijichi Nijika.

"Hongxia? Are you alright?"

"...It's okay..."

Ichi Nijika lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

Ahh... I'm hugging you...

A moment of happiness made Ichiji Nijika instantly forget the strange taste in her mouth.

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.
