Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Too."

"...Are you kidding me?"

Nekoyashiki asked, resting her chin on her hand.

So what is it?

"We will try to compose more and more music so that you don't get tired of it or find it boring."

Yamada Ryo's pen began to move again.

"Although that's the reason, it has nothing to do with you. I'm not asking you to lend me more money in the future, nor do I expect you to repay me with your body. It's just something I want to do."

"...I understand what you mean, but why is the example so strange?"

"Never mind that."

Yamada Ryo shook his head, then continued.

"In short, it's just that I want you to see...hear more."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't speak. After waiting for a while without receiving a response, Yamada Ryo assumed the conversation was over and continued studying with his head down.

"cold."

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly called out to Yamada Ryo.

"explain."

Yamada Ryo responded.

Is it necessary?

"...I said it's just something I want to do, and there are many things I don't even know why I want to do."

Yamada Ryo said calmly.

"Let it be my personality."

There has to be some reason.

Nekoyashiki Haru continued to press for answers.

"... "

Yamada Ryo was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Just like my previous answer, we get along very well, and I hope we can be long-term friends if possible."

"But I also said that even if you all lose your luster in the end, I will not leave."

"Then I'll say I want you, my friend, to be more comfortable here."

Yamada Ryo raised his hands in a bodybuilding pose, even though Nekoyashiki Haru couldn't see it.

"I'm a genius, arranging is just a minor issue."

"…Um…"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

In reality, whether a song is considered good or not has nothing to do with how many new songs it has.

Even bands that used to release new songs every day eventually lost their appeal to Nekoyashiki Haru.

But he didn't say it.

Yamada Ryo understood this, and he also knew that Yamada Ryo was aware of it.

So there's no need to say anything more.

"…Thanks."

Saying thank you is enough.

"... "

Yamada Ryo paused for a moment, then lowered his hands, a few pixels upturning the corners of his mouth.

"You're welcome."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly froze. Amidst the rustling sound of Yamada Ryo's pen nib scratching against the paper, Nekoyashiki Haru spoke up.

"Suddenly I feel like you're quite reliable."

"Ok?"

Yamada Ryo paused for a moment, then put down his pen and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Well, although she's usually like that, she gives off a pretty reassuring vibe right now."

"...peace of mind?"

Yamada Ryo blinked, and Nekoyashiki Haru continued.

"Hmm, the lines you just said were pretty cool. They put me at ease and made me naturally want to trust you."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a smile.

Yamada Ryo's golden pupils contracted, then he turned his face away and said in a teasing tone.

"Hehe, are you captivated by me?"

"That's still a long way off."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head in denial, then continued.

"If you don't mind taking me along in the future, I'll accompany you wherever you want to go on adventures."

"Hmm...it will call you."

Yamada Ryo nodded, making this a part of his daily routine.

...

……

.........

A few days later, the midterm exams ended.

Stars.

"Ryo really can do whatever she wants! She got almost perfect scores in all subjects..."

Looking at Yamada Ryo's pile of perfect and near-perfect test papers, Ichiji Nijika sighed.

"You really are a genius, aren't you..."

Nekoyashiki Haruya couldn't help but sigh.

"...Goto-san also successfully passed the exam..."

Kita Yu said in a tired tone.

I've been getting tutoring from Goto Ichiri for the past few days. Although Goto Ichiri passed, Kita Ikuyo's own grades have dropped.

Although it doesn't have any impact.

Goto Ichiri held his test paper with a score of 30.

He laughed heartily.

"Hehe... This is the first time I've gotten 30 points since the start of the semester."

It was all thanks to everyone in the band that we were able to do this…

It's so great to have formed a band!!!

Goto Ichiri thought to himself, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Heh...heh heh...heh heh heh..."

"..." × 4.

After a moment of silence, Ichiji Nijika looked at everyone and nodded.

"Hmm! Not bad! Everyone passed! Now we can focus on preparing for the school festival performance!"

"Ichi Nijika smiled."

"Everyone, it's time to start practicing the new piece!"

click!

Goto Ichiri suddenly froze.

Yes...yes...

There was supposed to be a performance at the cultural festival... I'd completely forgotten about it...

“Gah…”

Goto Ichiri suddenly had difficulty breathing and then collapsed to the ground.

"Ah... Pochi is going to die again."

Niji Natsumi, unfazed, stepped forward and helped Goto Ichiri up.

"What's wrong? Have you forgotten about the performance?"

"Ah...yes, yes..."

Goto Ichiri nodded with a bitter face.

The ice cubes in the drink swirl and rub against the glass, making a crackling sound.

Haru Nekoyashiki stirred it with a straw.

"Sir, if you don't drink it now, the ice will melt and it won't taste good anymore."
