Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"... "

Ijichi Hoshika narrowed her eyes, then suddenly laughed and said.

"You're still as lazy as ever, Big Black."

"!"

Pa-san trembled slightly, then looked at Ijichi Hoshika's mischievous smile and understood everything.

She turned to look at Nekoyashiki Haru, who had a puzzled expression on her face.

What is Big Black?

"Surname, the one next to you."

"... "

Nekoyashiki turned to face Pa-san.

"So you have a name, Pa-san."

"Of course I have a name! Why would you think I don't have one!"

Pa explained hastily.

"Because you've never introduced yourself to me by your name... Come to think of it, it's quite rare to have such a dark surname."

"…Yes…"

Pa nodded and responded softly.

"What is your full name?"

“…Ah…that is…”

Pa stammered.

"Daikoku Oni".

"Ijichi Hoshika helped Pa-san say."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked.

"Gu..."

Pa-san buried his head in the bar.

"Oh dear, what's wrong, Miss Daikoku? Isn't that a nice name? Why do you look so upset?"

"Ichika asked with a wicked smile."

"What's wrong with this name?"

Haruto Nekoyashiki tilted his head curiously.

"...Don't you think...it's super chuunibyou...like Otomi and all that..."

Pa-san looked up.

"The literal translation is 'Snake of Sound,' but I don't want to say such a cringey name!"

"…ah…"

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked.

"And the surname 'Dahei' is also rare, so almost everyone exclaims in surprise... I absolutely don't want to be surprised by someone's name..."

"I understand."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Even if there are very few, there are still several hundred or even more than a thousand people in Dahei.

But the surname Nekoyashiki will probably be down to single digits...

So, Haru Nekoyashiki was still moved by the fact that people were amazed by her surname.

Ichi Hoshika added.

"That's why this guy refuses to say his name when he introduces himself."

Pa-san looked up.

"Anyway, I only know a few people... their names don't matter."

"It seems like you've only mentioned this to me and Hongxia, right? Hongxia might not even remember."

Why do you say she might not remember?

Pa blinked.

"...Have you ever heard my sister call your name?"

"... "

Pa-san covered his head again.

boom!

Hearing the noise, Haruto Nekoyashiki reached out and gently patted Pa-san's shoulder.

"Isn't it a pretty nice song too?"

"...It doesn't sound nice...just like how Kita might hate her name, Yudai, but most people actually think it's quite cute...outsiders wouldn't feel ashamed of their own name."

Pa-san raised his upper body and patted Nekoyashiki Haru's shoulder.

"Since we both have rare surnames, come out for drinks with me tonight."

"…Why…"

"Oh, you don't need to ask that."

Pa smiled, and at the same time looked up at Ijichi Seika, whose face showed surprise and uncertainty upon hearing the invitation.

"It's on me."

"That's good, I should be free tonight..."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

To be honest, he hasn't really wanted to stay at home lately.

Every time I enter my home, I feel something is wrong.

At night, I always feel like countless eyes are watching me, but I can't hear any human voices.

He began to suspect that his apartment was haunted, just like Kiku's.

"I've been having a lot of nightmares lately."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Ichi Seika frowned and asked with concern."

"Too many things on your mind?"

"No, not really... I just had a dream about being flooded, and when I woke up the blankets felt damp."

Pa blinked.

"You're sweating?"

"Maybe? But I didn't have it on me when I woke up."

"Oh dear... does sweating at night mean I'm weak?"

"... "

Haru Nekoyashiki started feeling a little unwell.

"I'm not physically weak..."

"What's there to say about someone who doesn't even eat properly? Your BMI is probably lower than Kita's."

"Ichi Hoshika said."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru had no rebuttal and could only remain silent.

"I'm physically weak."

Pa Sang teased.

"I don't!"

Nekoyashiki Haru blushed and retorted.

Chapter 118 Hesitation

in the afternoon.

Click!

The door was pushed open, and Goto Ichiri, dressed in sportswear, slowly walked in.

Ijichi Seika, who was sucking on a straw, looked over and then raised an eyebrow.

What's wrong with your head?

Goto Ichiri, with bandages wrapped around his head, didn't reply. Instead, he pulled over the trash can next to the stairs and crawled inside, making Iji Tomoko's eyes twitch so hard they almost popped out crow's feet.

"It's nothing... I was attacked by a gorilla that suddenly rushed out on the road."

Goto Ichiri began to explain with a string of lies.

"...The ecology in Japan is really getting better and better."

"Ichi Seika said expressionlessly."

Nekoyashiki, who was standing to the side, sighed and asked.

"Ichiri, did something happen at school? By the way, didn't Yudai come along?"
