Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Suddenly, Ichi Nijika reached out her hand.

Taking advantage of Kita Ikuyo's inattention, he grabbed her hand.

"!"

Kita Ikuyo immediately withdrew her hand.

"... "

Ichi Niji Natsu narrowed her eyes, then sighed and spoke in a voice only she and Kita Ikuyo could hear.

"...This is... way too much..."

Ichi Nijika turned around.

"Alright, alright! Everyone, get ready to go!"

After saying that, she walked over to Nekoyashiki Haru and gently patted his shoulder.

“…Yudai, come here for a second.”

Understanding perfectly, Nekoyashiki Haru waved towards what should be Kita Ikuyo's location.

"... "

Yamada Ryo suddenly said to Goto Ichiri.

"Pochi, I'm thirsty, let's go out and buy some water."

"Huh? Haru has one at home..."

"I want a drink, but the kitten doesn't have any at home."

Yamada Ryo pulled Goto Ichiri towards the door.

"It's my treat."

"Yamada Ryo said."

"You're treating?!"

Goto Ichiri was shocked.

Bang! The door slammed shut.

Kita Ikuyo sighed and then sat down next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Was it another injury from playing guitar?"

"…Um."

Kita Yukiyo nodded.

Nijika Ichichi took the first-aid kit out from under the living room floor.

Nekoyashiki Haru gently took Kita Ikuyo's hand.

Splash splash splash splash...

Clear water flows down.

“Yudai’s body is very important, no matter where it is, and it must be protected.”

"Nekoyashiki Haru said, holding Kita Ikuyo's finger."

"If Kita gets hurt, everyone and I will be worried... and we will feel guilty."

Ichi Nijika wiped herself with iodine.

"No matter the reason, it is wrong to hurt yourself."

Haru Nekoyashiki took a band-aid out of her pocket and handed it to Nijika Ijichi.

"Whatever the reason."

Ichi Nijika opened the band-aid and gently placed it on Kita Ikuyo's index finger.

Chapter 128 Cat

Sunlight filtered through layers of green leaves, casting dense dappled patterns of light, while the wind, carrying the lingering heat of summer, rustled the shadows of the five people.

"Speaking of which, where should we go for fun?"

"I asked Yamada Ryo while drinking red bean soup," he said.

"Ah, I'm going out to play with Kita today."

As Ichika Niji explained, Kita Ikuyo, who was in front of him, paused for a moment.

"I've said this to me before... but why me...?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, Xiao Xiduo is probably the most fun-loving among us."

Ichi Nijika waved her hand.

"And, during practice, Kita would often complain that she wanted to go out and play with everyone, more like a girls' high school band."

Ichi Nijika put her hands behind her back.

"Isn't that so?"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo pulled her hand back and rubbed the bandage on her finger.

Before confronting Ichichi-senpai, I often said that…

"But I don't really have any plans..."

"No need for plans!"

Ichi Nijika stepped forward a few paces, pressed down on Kita Ikuyo's shoulder, and gently pushed her forward.

"Just think of us as your playmates, Kita."

"Ichi Nijika said in a gentle tone, then leaned forward and whispered in Kita Ikuyo's ear."

"The kitten is very worried about you."

"!"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide and then looked at Nekoyashiki Haru behind her, who was being guided by Goto Ichiri.

"... "

Kita Yukiyo suddenly felt an itch in the wound under the band-aid.

"I…"

"Let's talk about the specifics later... For now, everyone should just have fun!"

Nijika Ichi raised her hand and called out.

Kita Ikuyo looked at Iji Chi Nijika, who was cheering with her hand raised, opened her mouth slightly, and then glanced at Nekoyashiki Haru out of the corner of her eye.

Seemingly sensing the gaze ahead, Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

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

"Okay everyone, let's go to the dessert shop first. It's newly opened and I haven't tried it yet."

Kita Ikuyo turned around and looked at everyone behind her.

Let's go try it together!

...

……

.........

"Why do dessert shops open every day, but I don't feel there are many of them?"

While eating the mousse, Yamada Ryo asked.

At this moment, the group had been led by Kita Ikuyo to sit down in the dessert shop.

The newly opened store is not as popular as expected, despite having promotional activities.

Girls dressed in cat-ear maid outfits were handing out flyers to passersby, and even giving away free cat-ear headbands.

"About this, although dessert shops appear frequently, many dessert shops also go out of business."

Kita Ikuyo, who is the most professional in this area among them, said.

"Many of the photos I took at various locations on my phone have now become unique memorial photos."

"...the portrait of the deceased..."

Goto Ichiri trembled slightly.

Yamada Ryo looked at Goto Ichiri.

"Pochi... what's on your mind?"

"I guess it's related to the band. The thought process is probably that the group photo taken by the band before turned into a funeral photo because the band broke up."

"I feel helpless," said Nekoyashiki Haru, patting Goto Ichiri's head.

"Okay, okay, we won't disband, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"well!"

Goto Ichiri tried to cheer herself up with the comfort of Nekoyashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"I feel like I can pretty much understand what Pochi is thinking now... Could this be called telepathy?"

"...A telepathic connection?!"

Goto Ichiri's blue eyes slowly began to glow.

"It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse."

After finishing his mousse with his legs crossed, Yamada Ryo said.
