Lonely Rock for the Blind.

To be honest... when watching a movie, he can only listen to the lines and music, so it's really hard for him to get emotionally involved.

I can only roughly understand that it's a romance film... I guess?

Kita Ikuyo originally wanted to introduce Nekoyashiki Haru to him.

She started crying halfway through her presentation, and just when she finally calmed down and was about to continue, she started crying again before she could finish a single sentence.

Nekoyashiki Haru was helpless.

Should I cry a little too...?

"Guh... I'm... sorry, senior..."

Kita Ikuyo recovered and began to apologize.

"I've been crying the whole time... I haven't even had a chance to explain the plot to you, senior..."

"Ah...it's nothing."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head, then pushed the tissues on the coffee table toward Kita Ikuyo.

She kept crying and wiping her tears with tissues, but she wouldn't put the tissues in front of her.

He keeps coming over to get tissues; is he too engrossed in the movie?

"...Senior...you still don't feel anything?"

Kita Ikuyo asked in a low voice.

"...No, just the lines and music..."

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't continue speaking, and Kita Ikuyo understood what Nekoyashiki Haru meant.

"Actually, I chose this one because it focuses more on the dialogue and music... This movie itself is said to be able to make the audience cry."

"…is that so…"

Nekoyashiki Haru scratched her head.

"It's just... very ordinary lines, but the music is quite good."

Kita Ikuyo paused for a moment, then took out her phone.

"I also have a video of a blind person crying while listening to this movie!"

"Really...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru twitched her lips.

"Is it really necessary..."

"Ugh... So you're not interested in romance themes after all?"

Kita Ikuyo asked softly.

"...I really have no interest in that."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"I think you'd be more moved if you showed me inspirational movies or something."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo squinted her eyes.

I'm not interested... As expected... If I want to take a new step with my senior, I have to get him to be aware of love first.

Kita Ikuyo suddenly took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"I quite like romance stories."

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo was somewhat dissatisfied with the rather perfunctory answer.

"senior…"

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

"Ah...that's really surprising...hmm..."

"...What's surprising?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

Nekoyashiki Haru racked her brains.

"Thinking about it carefully, Yu Dai initially said she liked kung fu movies, but it turns out she also likes romance movies, which is quite a big difference, so I was quite surprised, haha..."

"Ah...that's true."

Kita Yukiyo nodded, but immediately changed the subject back.

"I actually prefer romance themes, hmm."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent.

He was thinking about what Kita Ikuyo wanted him to say.

After about three seconds of deep thought, he spoke.

"Why...?"

Phew... finally asked.

Kita Ikuyo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Exactly, I actually long for being in a relationship!"

"...I see."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"…senior…"

Kita Ikuyo looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with dissatisfaction.

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned once again.

Huh? Should we continue this topic?

"So... what kind of person does Kita like?"

"If possible, I hope it's someone reliable."

Kita Ikuyo immediately said.

Are you aware that you meet this requirement, senior?

"Ah."

I'm blind, so I'm the most unreliable person. It takes me five minutes to go down 10 steps.

Seeing that Nekoyashiki Haru was silent again, Kita Ikuyo pouted.

She would never show this side of herself under normal circumstances, but since it's only Nekoyashiki Haru here.

Many of Kita Ikuyo's "inappropriate" behaviors can be done without any problems.

Because no one but Kita Ikuyo can see it.

She sat up on the sofa like a cobra and then stretched out her hands above Nekoyashiki Haru's head.

And so I made a "cat ears" gesture.

Then she nodded contentedly and resumed her sitting posture. But it seemed that her previous actions had triggered some kind of mechanism, and Kita Ikuyo's originally proper sitting posture changed again. The girl brought her feet up and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

Hearing the commotion around him, Nekoyashiki Haru didn't pay any attention.

It's a good thing to be open-minded.

To be honest, he suspected that Kita Ikuyo's pressure had been increasing lately.

Although I don't know exactly what happened.

But whether it's suddenly treating you like a best friend and starting to talk about love, or playing the piano in an abstract way and injuring all ten of your fingers.

All of this made Nekoyashiki Haru realize one thing.

That means Kita Ikuyo might really be under too much pressure; only this can explain her recent series of strange behaviors.

Once he realized what had happened, he began to suspect that Kita Ikuyo's injury to all ten fingers might have been intentional...

It's really strange that all ten fingers were injured by a flick.

Self-harm!

Nekoyashiki Haru became worried.

Was it because of some kind of stress... the band? Or something else?

Let's find a chance to talk to Hongxia tomorrow, and maybe a group of us can go out and have some fun to relieve some stress...

As a teacher, I also have to shoulder my responsibilities.

In other words... to relieve Kita Ikuta's stress...

Nekoyashiki Haru secretly made up her mind.

Ask her directly why she seems completely unsuitable, and praise her more.

Anyway, Ichiri will definitely fall for this. They're all high school girls, so let's give it a try.

"Cough cough."

Haru Nekoyashiki suddenly coughed, attracting the attention of Ikuyo Kita, who was picking out her next movie.

"... "
