Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ijichi Nigatsu, standing in the closet, opened her eyes wide.

Don't say anything, or if we get caught...

"... "

Kita Ikuyo took a deep breath and then looked up.

"...As expected...we were tricked..."

Kita Ikuyo pursed her lips tightly and finally walked outside.

A moment later, the subtle sound of the outer door being opened made Ichiji Nijika feel a sense of relief.

Stepping out of the closet, clutching a short-sleeved shirt, Ichiji Nijika looked at the two in silence.

"...Too cunning..."

Then he walked outside.

Click...

Chapter 144 You Too?

On the train, Kita Ikuyo looked at the message on her phone, her lips slightly pursed.

Come practice at Fanxing today, no need to come to my house.

"... "

His yellow-green eyes couldn't help but squint.

The morning sunlight streamed through the train windows into the tram, repeatedly brushing against Kita Ikuyo's body.

Illuminated, dimmed, illuminated, dimmed…

She couldn't help but sigh.

It's as if the sunshine inside your body has been accidentally exhaled.

Why...did you ask to practice at Starry Sky today...?

Last night... after sharing a bed with Kiku-senpai...

It's like they're keeping their distance from me.

Did something really happen between her and Kiku-senpai?

Could it really be...?

My fist clenched involuntarily, the band-aid still there.

With a flick of her fingers, Kita Ikuyo reached out and grabbed the black and gold pick on her neck.

Press the pick onto the band-aid, and feel the texture on the pick through the band-aid.

There were hardly any people today, not a single person.

Kita Ikuyo was the only one in the carriage.

That's strange... Does nobody have anywhere to go on Sundays?

Kita Ikuyo thought to herself.

If it were in the past... I should be discussing with others where to go for fun at this time of day, right?

Looking back now... that must have been really tiring...

Because of my seniors... and because of practicing guitar, I've become isolated?

No…not at all. If I said that I had become isolated, Goto would melt on the spot.

Speaking of which, Goto also... dressed up specially for his senior's house.

She's usually such a timid person... what was it that motivated her to do that?

Kita Ikuyo actually knew what it was, but she didn't want to say it.

"what…"

Looking out the car window, Kita Ikuyo practiced smiling.

"Ha ha…"

Then I started practicing my smile.

"Hahaha…"

Her smile widened slightly.

"...Hmm, that's good."

Nodding, Kita Yukiyo muttered to herself.

Meanwhile, the train arrived at the station.

Kita Ikuyo stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the stars.

What exactly happened last night... while I wasn't looking...?

What exactly happened between Kiku-senpai and her senior?

The seniors are completely different from us... Even if something really happened... everyone would probably just say, "So rock and roll."

"This is...not rock and roll at all."

Kita Ikuyo gritted her teeth.

If we're going to rock and roll... well, not now...

The partner should at least... not be someone with such a large age gap...

Senior is still a minor... If she really did it, Kikuri-senpai would be breaking the law!

Wait... is it illegal?

I don't know much about this...

Kita Ikuyo seemed a little lost and disoriented, and her steps were unsteady.

Even if... even if senpai really... really did something happen with Kikuri-senpai.

I also…

"Little Kita".

Hearing someone call her name, Kita Ikuyo was startled, then looked at the blonde girl in front of her.

"Ijichi-senpai?"

"Well, good morning."

"Ichi Nijika said with a smile."

"...Good morning...Why is Ijichi-senpai here?"

"Ah... This morning my sister told me that the kitten came to Fanxing. I asked around and found out that the kitten said it would teach you in Fanxing."

"I see... So, did Ijichi-senpai come to welcome me on special occasion?"

"Yeah, I figured you'd be arriving soon, so I came out to meet you."

Kita Ikuyo naturally followed Iji Chi Nikka, who walked towards the direction of the stars.

"Little Kita, have you done anything wrong lately?"

"Ok?"

Kita Ikuyo was taken aback.

"What is a guilty conscience...?"

"Haha, just kidding. I was just thinking that you might break into the cat's house at night or something... I don't think that'll happen, right?"

Ichi Nijika turned to look at Kita Ikuyo.

Kita Ikuyo's pupils contracted violently.

"No...no!"

Kita Ikuyo said, her neck stiff.

"I think so too~ That kind of thing is really not a good thing... um..."

Ichi Nijika twirled her hair with her fingers.

"But... but it's not surprising that they would do that..."

"what?"

Kita Ikuyo stared wide-eyed at Iji Tomokazu.

"It's not impossible that Kita might somehow get the key to the cat's house and then sneak in after the cat falls asleep at night. Sometimes I even think about doing it myself~"

"Ichi Nijika smiled."

"Ah... haha... that's true, I do sometimes have those thoughts."

Kita Ikuyo agreed with a smile.

"For example, using chewing gum, soap, or something like that as a key mold..."

"Ichi Nijika said."

"Ah... candles, or clay will do."

Added by Kita Yudai.

"Actually...maybe dough could work too..."

Nijika Ichi continued.

"Mold glue too..."

Kita Ikuyo laughed.

"... "
