Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Could it be that this senior is actually one of those seemingly easy characters who are actually incredibly difficult to conquer?!

"Ah!"

Kita Yuyo covered her face with a pillow and began to hold her breath. After a while, she started rolling around on the bed, hugging the pillow tightly and wrapping her limbs around it, twisting the pillow out of shape.

What should I do...? What should I do...?

Kita Ikuyo suddenly remembered the key, put down the pillow, and took it out of her pocket.

Using...using despicable methods?

Kita Ikuyo broke out in a cold sweat and then put the key down.

no…

Kita Ikuyo curled up.

Actually, now, my senior's gaze is on me much less... It's not that he's not watching me at all... He's definitely still looking at me... But... But...

But...it seems most of the attention has been drawn to others...like Goto-kun...

It seems like they're not as attentive when they're teaching me anymore...

Although the truth is that I've studied many things for so long that I no longer need to be taught, I still feel neglected...

How can I get my seniors to focus their attention on me again?

Ideally, it would be the kind that only looks at me...

If you're only looking at me... then it would be only natural for me to end up with someone like my senior...

But my seniors can't possibly only be looking at me.

Goto wants to take care of me, and Ijichi-senpai's band needs his attention... I've already passed the beginner stage... so there's no need for him to keep taking care of me...

That's probably what my senior was thinking...

Kita Ikuyo suddenly wondered if she was learning too fast...

Should I act a little dumber?

If you learn what your seniors teach you well, they will be happy...

But if I don't learn well, my seniors will keep teaching me...

Sure enough... the second one was better?

But wouldn't that be deceiving your seniors?

But... it can't be entirely considered deception... I just wanted... more of your attention, senior...

From the past, as long as you were cheerful and sociable, you would naturally attract attention.

But none of this seemed to work with the seniors.

Look at me...

Kita Ikuyo pouted and opened her phone to find a photo of herself with Nekoyashiki Haru.

This was taken together in Enoshima last time.

"... "

Kita Yuyo slowly brought the phone closer, then her hand "accidentally" slipped, and the phone fell onto her face.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo felt the heat from the phone and imagined that it was the same temperature as Nekoyashiki Haru herself.

"Ugh…"

With a soft sigh, Kita Ikuyo picked up her phone again.

It's so pathetic to fantasize about something like this...

Kita Ikuyo got up and took out her guitar.

Then it bounced up.

senior…

Without a pick, he simply plucked the strings with his fingertips.

senior…

As she thought about the boy's appearance, Kita Ikuyo's fingers plucked the strings faster and faster.

An electric guitar without an amplifier produces a duller, weaker sound than a bass.

Kita Ikuyo lost her godlike speed in playing.

Faster and faster...

then…

Clang!

"it hurts!"

Kita Ikuyo subconsciously withdrew her hand and then looked at her fingertips.

"... "

Red pearls emerged from her fingertips.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo put her finger in her mouth and sucked on it, looking aggrieved.

That was so careless... I...

If everyone sees this tomorrow, they'll definitely be worried...

Ijichi-senpai will worry, Ryo-senpai will worry, and Goto-kun will worry too…

Even senior colleagues would worry…

Worried...worried?

Kita Ikuyo suddenly paused for a moment, then took her finger out of her mouth.

He looked at the red on his fingertips, then looked down at the strings.

"...What can the senior do about...the poor child..."

Suddenly remembering the conclusion she had reached earlier, Kita Ikuyo's pupils contracted slightly.

He squinted his eyes and pursed his lips.

With trembling hands, Kita Ikuyo reached for the guitar, then touched the strings with her fingers once more.

"I'm just...practicing fingerstyle, which is...good for the band..."

As Kita Ikuyo spoke, it was as if she was suppressing some kind of dark and heavy emotion.

The somber, gloomy piano music continued to fill the room.

Chapter 121 Disinfection (Return)

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and Nekoyashiki Haru looked up.

Then he walked toward the door.

It's the weekend, Yu Dai must be here.

Thinking this to herself, Nekoyashiki Haru still asked a question.

"Who?"

"…I."

Kita Ikuyo's voice came out, and Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and then opened the door.

Kita Ikuyo, wearing a beige dress and carrying a guitar, walked in.

Good morning, senior.

The pitch wasn't as high as usual.

Are you in a bad mood?

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly remembered Kita Ikuyo's bad mood before, and it seemed that her tone was also a little lower.

No, there isn't...

Kita Ikuyo shook her head, then gently nudged Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Let's go, let's get back to practice."

"it is good."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded. Since Ikuyo didn't say anything more, there was no need for him to ask any more questions.

Maintaining distance is very important…

But I don't want to keep my distance from you.

Kita Ikuyo thought for a moment, then sat down on the sofa and skillfully put on her headphones.

Nekoyashiki Haru also sat down on the sofa, then took out her headphones and put them on.

Kita Ikuyo's heart suddenly stirred with excitement.

The bandages on their fingers rubbed against each other.

When will they find out? And when they do, what kind of expression will the senior have?

Worry? Blame? Or something else?

But they all seem pretty good...

Kita Ikuyo's breathing quickened slightly. She hugged her guitar and gently plucked the strings with her fingertips wrapped in bandages.

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback.
