Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"...You can pinch it..."

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head and said.

"hey-hey…"

Kita Ikuyo smiled, then reached up and pinched her earlobe.

"It's so refreshingly cool..."

Kita Ikuyo sighed.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't say anything.

On the other side, Goto Ichiri watched this scene and swallowed hard.

Kita-kun... what are you doing?

Is this kind of thing normal between friends?

Although she sensed something was amiss, Goto Ichiri didn't dwell on it.

Kita-kun is an expert!

So Goto Ichiri also tried to pinch Nekoyashiki Haru's earlobes.

Since Kita Ikuyo had just agreed to come, Nekoyashiki Haru couldn't very well refuse Goto Ichiri on the other side.

"Ugh…"

He could only sigh and let the two do as they pleased.

Okay, let's call it a day...

Nekoyashiki Haru thought.

Chapter 113 Worry

Thinking about it carefully, it seems I've gotten used to this kind of life.

In the rehearsal room, Nekoyashiki Haru sat by the door and suddenly thought of something.

Kita Ikuyo ultimately didn't ask for leave and came to practice in the afternoon.

The three of them did watch two movies, although Nekoyashiki Haru actually couldn't see them; the other two relayed most of the plot.

It should be a romance movie and a Hollywood blockbuster.

The movie was really noisy, with constant explosions. It seemed that they noticed Nekoyashiki Haru didn't like it, so the two switched to a romance movie.

That movie was pretty outrageous, something about a guy being liked by two sisters at the same time.

To be honest, it's too unrealistic, but the dialogue is pretty good, and I don't dislike Nekoyashiki Haru.

The group was still practicing the two pieces they had worked on before, but it seemed they were also preparing a new piece.

Incidentally, when Yili arrived in front of them today, none of them reacted at first.

It seems there's a significant difference between her current clothes and her usual appearance after changing them.

[So cute!] [Pochi?!] [I thought it was an idol coming...] and so on.

It seems like Ichiri really is a beautiful girl.

However, Haru Nekoyashiki only realized this fact and sighed slightly; he didn't feel anything else.

He can't see.

So beauty or ugliness doesn't matter.

However, even during regular rehearsals, Haru Nekoyashiki has heard the colors of Ichiri Goto.

A soft yet resolute pink.

The colors of the other people also became increasingly intense.

Rainbow Summer's cheerful and gentle yellow, Ikuyo's sunny and lively red, and Cool and unique blue.

Compared to the beginning, it already has the colors that a qualified band would have.

Clap your hands and start clapping for the others.

They couldn't actually hear me; I just wanted to take the picture myself.

I've pretty much gotten used to this kind of life.

The fragments in the purple eyes seemed to be staring at something.

But how long can I get used to it...?

...

……

.........

After the practice session ended, the group went to work as usual.

Nekoyashiki Haru sat on a chair next to the table, her head bowed.

"What's wrong? Are you tired?"

Pa-san's voice rang out.

"No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head and then straightened up.

"Just lying down for a while."

"Oh, I see. How was your day?"

"not bad."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"I watched a movie with Yudai and Ichiri. Although I don't know exactly what we watched, I mainly learned about it through their explanations."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"Films really do pay more attention to visual language."

"... "

Pa blinked.

"I feel like you're not quite the same as you were at the beginning."

"Hmm? I don't think I've changed at all."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"Nothing seems to have changed on the surface."

Pa-san was scrolling through his phone.

"But perhaps your mindset has changed somewhat?"

Why is it a question?

"Since I can't read minds, I can only use questions."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent, then gripped her white cane tightly.

"I'm quite scared."

"Huh? What?"

"I can hear the colors of music."

"I overheard them chatting and noticed it, so what's wrong?"

Pa put down his phone and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru, waiting for his reply, while his eyes caught a glimpse of blue.

“I’ve seen many other bands with different colors… but as you listen to them, the colors fade and fade until they disappear completely.”

"what…"

Pa blinked.

"So you're worried you won't be able to see their colors anymore?"

"…Um."

"... "

Pa-san hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Yamada Ryo stared blankly at Nekoyashiki Haru, his golden eyes narrowing.

"So what are you going to do?"

Pa asked.

"We'll see."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"Things will work themselves out when they reach the bridge, don't you think?"

"Ah, um."

Pa-san nodded, and then didn't say anything more.

Yamada Ryo, who was standing next to him, took a mop and walked to the other side.

...

……

.........

Ding dong.
