Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Hiroi Kikuri shook her head noncommittally, then looked at Otsuki Yuyuko and asked.

"By the way, isn't this the time your band practices? What's wrong now?"

"Ah... this..."

Yuuko Otsuki's body suddenly stiffened.

He spoke after a long pause.

"I... um... disbanded..."

"what?"

Hiroi Kikuri didn't hear clearly.

"She said her band broke up."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

Hiroi Kikuri opened her eyes wide.

"No? Why not?"

"Because...because of my personal limitations...so everyone..."

"It was Yuyuko Otsuki who said, her voice trembling."

Are you the lead singer? The guitarist? Or what?

Nekoyashiki suddenly asked.

"Huh? I...I'm the lead singer and guitarist."

"Are you not good enough?"

"No... not really... in terms of pure strength, I should be the strongest in the team..."

"I see, I understand now."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"It's the fault of those who ran away. The fact that the strongest were left behind only shows that you were never suitable."

Nekoyashiki Haru tapped the table as she spoke.

"Speak up! Why are you being so hesitant? Are you still blaming yourself?"

Nekoyashiki Haru pouted.

"If there are no more people, just form a new group. If you still want to play in a band, what do those who left matter?"

Nekoyashiki Haru pointed at Otsuki Yuyuko.

"You are the one who stayed behind; they are all deserters, so don't dwell on it."

Nekoyashiki Haru got up, walked past Otsuki Yuuko, and headed towards the door.

"Your path is yours to walk..."

boom!

Before she could finish speaking, Nekoyashiki Haru bumped into the wall.

boom! ! !

Then he fell to the ground.

Hiroi Kikuri grinned.

"I told you to take your cane... Are you trying to look cool or risk your life?!"

"A white cane... Is Nekoyashiki-senpai blind?"

"Ah, a blind man..."

Hiroi Kikuri nodded, then stepped forward and helped Nekoyashiki Haru up.

"... "

Yuyuko Otsuki looked at Haru Nekoyashiki, who was sitting on the ground rubbing his forehead.

The boy's forehead was not red or swollen, probably just in pain, and his sunglasses were intact, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Yuyuko Otsuki watched this scene quietly.

A blind man? A blind man who plays rock music…

You are the one who stayed behind; they are all deserters.

Yuuko Otsuki pursed her lips.

"Um! Nekoyashiki-senpai!"

The girl said loudly.

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

"Please...please guide me!"

Yuyuko Otsuki bowed and made her request.

Chapter 133 Chestnut Memories [Part 2]

"Hey! Are you interested in forming a band?"

On the cold street, Yuuko Otsuki mustered her courage and asked the girl carrying a bass guitar.

"No, I have a band."

The girl simply answered that question before walking away into the distance.

Yuuko Otsuki sighed and walked back to the other side of the road.

"It failed?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"Yes, it failed."

Yuyuko Otsuki nodded, then walked toward the vending machine next to her.

"What would you like to drink, Nekoyashiki-senpai?"

"No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head. Otsuki Yuyuko hesitated for a moment, then bought two cans of drinks, putting one in her pocket in case she needed it later.

puff~

The beverage can was opened, and Otsuki Yuuko took a big gulp.

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head to the side.

"What time is it now?"

"Ah... let me see... 8 PM."

Otsuki Yuyuko said to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Aren't you going back? Won't your family worry?"

"It should be fine before 10 o'clock."

Yuuko Otsuki shook her head.

"By the way, thank you Nekoyashiki-senpai for coming with me to find my teammates today. I'm really grateful that you're willing to help me with such a troublesome matter."

"It's alright, this is within the scope of guidance."

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head slightly, clearly pleased by the compliment.

Otsuki Yuyuko smiled.

"Speaking of which, Nekoyashiki-senpai, why did you and Kikuri-nee have a fight the other day?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent for a while.

"Ah, I was just asking, you don't need to answer..."

"That guy started pestering me all by himself."

As she spoke, Nekoyashiki Haru leaned back in her chair, rested her hands on the bench, and crossed her legs.

“Eliza is someone I know, so I went to help them back then. As a result, she immediately started pestering me, saying things that I couldn’t understand at all.”

"...Your music isn't yours..."

"That's it, don't copy her."

Nekoyashiki Haru stopped Otsuki Yuuko from repeating.

Yuyuko Otsuki nodded, and then spoke.

"Even so, you've been spending a lot of time with Kiku-san lately."

"...I just had nowhere to go."

Nekoyashiki Haru turned her head away.

Yuuko Otsuki touched her hand.

"And...besides that, they've been helping me find teammates and giving me pointers on guitar, I'm really grateful."

You should thank me a few times.

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"I just wanted to do this, it's okay if you don't thank me to that extent."

"...But I just want to say thank you."

Yuuko Otsuki looked up at the sky.

"I had actually thought about giving up, after all, the band broke up in their first season, but I think my seniors were right, they were the ones who deserted."
