Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Otsuki Yuyuko looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"You don't have a band, do you, senior?"

"No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"Um... do you want to...?"

"I'm not joining."

"Huh? I haven't asked yet..."

"Is this what you wanted to ask?"

"Yes…"

"I'm not joining."

Nekoyashiki Haru repeated it again.

"All right…"

Yuuko Otsuki nodded.

Nekoyashiki Haru continued.

"No one's contacting you after you post those recruitment ads?"

"Um…"

There are relatively few people now, but there will be more later, and maybe someone will come looking for you then.

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"Your skills are not bad, so don't worry, you'll have teammates."

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki nodded gently.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't say anything either.

The wind carried the warmth of the night, causing both of them to sneeze simultaneously.

Achoo! ×2

The silence was abruptly broken. Otsuki Yuuko glanced awkwardly at Nekoyashiki Haru, only to find that Nekoyashiki Haru had turned her face away with a slightly flushed face.

Yuuko Otsuki opened her mouth.

The senior is in an awkward position... They need to say something.

"Ahem... Well... why did you start playing rock music, senior?"

"Otsuki Yuuko asked softly."

"... "

"senior?"

"color."

Nekoyashiki Haru said softly.

"color?"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"You play, and I see the colors. The better you play, the richer the colors; the worse you play, the paler the colors."

"But you are blind..."

"So it's the color you hear; don't worry about the underlying principle."

"Nekoyashiki Haru took a deep breath and said."

"This is my driving force. What about you?"

"…I…"

Yuyuko Otsuki remained silent for a long while before speaking.

"I used to be quite short, and my classmates would laugh at me for it, so I couldn't make any friends."

Yuyuko Otsuki pointed to her finger as she spoke.

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback, her eyes widening slightly behind her sunglasses.

"So, you did this so you wouldn't be laughed at..."

"No, no, no, that's not it! I definitely started playing rock music because I love music!"

Yuyuko Otsuki quickly said.

Nekoyashiki Haru's eyes narrowed slightly behind her sunglasses.

"I see."

Yuyuko Otsuki continued.

"Actually, I worked very hard and got first place in my grade. Everyone was very impressed with me. I do like rock music, so I came to play rock music. As for my goal."

Yuuko Otsuki smiled shyly.

"It's number one."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent for a while.

Then he suddenly stood up.

"Let's go."

"Ugh?"

Yuuko Otsuki paused for a moment.

"Where?"

"Since we can't find anyone to practice guitar anyway, let's find a place to practice."

Nekoyashiki Haru walked forward.

"You're far from being number one right now."

"Ah...yes...yes!"

Yuyuko Otsuki nodded quickly, then got up to follow Haru Nekoyashiki.

Then...

boom!

Nekoyashiki Haru, who had just bumped into a telephone pole, took a few steps back.

boom!

Then he lay down on the ground.

Yuuko Otsuki was suddenly taken aback.

"senior?!"

He then quickly went over and helped Nekoya Shikiharu up.

"I told you to bring your white cane, why don't you ever bring it!"

"Cough cough..."

Nekoyashiki Haru coughed, then took out her cane from behind her waist.

It's a white cane that was deliberately painted black.

"Let's go."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said, then leaned on her cane and walked forward.

"Let me help you up."

Yuyuko Otsuki walked to Nekoya Shikiharu's side and helped him walk forward.

"Senior, where are we going?"

"Anywhere is fine, just go somewhere that makes you feel good while practicing guitar."

"…Um."

Yuuko Otsuki nodded.

...

……

.........

With time passing day by day, Yuyuko Otsuki finally reunited with her band.

Although Haruto Nekoyashiki felt that the new recruits were unreliable, since the three of them had suddenly volunteered together and seemed to have some ulterior motive, Yuyuko Otsuki still accepted them with great interest.

Although I often miss practice sessions, and my skill level is terrible.

However, Yuyuko Otsuki still believes that the band should be reunited.

That's how it should be, logically speaking.

On stage, alone, Yuuko Otsuki looked at the audience below and her body trembled.

"Um...we...I'm...I'm SODEROS...Ahaha...the one I met for the first time..."

Yuuko Otsuki, clutching her guitar, looked bewildered.

Why, why, why, why? Why didn't anyone come? Where did they go?

Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Why didn't you...
