Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ichi Seika shook her head vigorously.

It was still a little difficult for Ijichi Seika to accept money from Nekoyashiki Haru's mother.

"...Alright, then I won't insist."

Nekoya Shiki nodded.

Silence fell between the two.

Feeling embarrassed, Ijichi Hoshika decided to start a conversation.

So he spoke.

"By the way, are you in Japan for work?"

"Huh? No, it isn't."

Nekoya Saki shook her head.

"I've come to pick up Xiaoqing and take her to Germany."

"Ok?"

Ijichi Hoshika opened her eyes wide.

"Why would you go to Germany for no reason?"

"Ah... because there is hope for Haru's eyes to regain their sight."

"Nekoya Shiki said."

"real?!"

Ijichi Hoshika subconsciously stood up.

Nekoya Shiki watched calmly.

Ichika Hoshika paused for a moment, then coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment before sitting back down.

When do we expect to depart?

"Ichiko asked."

A worried look appeared on Nekoya Shiki's face.

"Sigh...this is what's bothering me right now."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Ichi Hoshika tilted her head.

"Xiao Qing doesn't seem too willing to go to Germany with me."

"…Why?"

Ichiji Hoshika's doubts deepened.

Logically speaking, if Qing could regain her sight, she should be the most excited.

"I don't know... Maybe it's because it takes a long time, several years."

Explanation of Nekoya Shikiki.

"It feels like he has something he can't bear to part with, so he doesn't want to come with me."

"... "

Ichi Seika frowned.

"Things you can't bear to part with..."

Then, subconsciously, I looked towards the door of the rehearsal room.

Nekoya Saki followed Ijichi Seika's gaze and looked over.

"Oh dear... could it be that someone is inside?"

"Eh?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just asking. By the way, is the bandmate Xiaoqing mentioned last time in the rehearsal room? As her mother, I'd really like to meet my son's friend."

Nekoya Saki laughed. Before Ichimi Hoshika could say anything, the woman had already gotten up and walked towards the rehearsal room.

"I'll go say hello."

Nekoyashiki Saki chuckled.

Chapter 161 The Colorless Past (Part 1) [Return]

"call…"

Kita Ikuyo, slightly out of breath, lowered her hand.

As another song ended, Ichiji Nijika wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Yamada Ryo's breathing also became a little rapid.

I was just... pushing myself too hard.

In an environment like this, the group can't do anything but practice. If they focus on it, they'll end up overdoing it.

dong dong dong...

There was a sudden knock on the door of the rehearsal room.

The knocking sound was like a sharp sword, suddenly piercing the gloomy atmosphere among them.

The three of them looked up at the same time.

Click...

The door was opened.

"senior?"

Kita Ikuyo spoke up without thinking.

However, it was not Nekoyashiki Haru and Goto Ichiri who appeared at the door.

The woman with black hair and purple eyes looked at the group and smiled gently.

"Ah, sorry to interrupt your practice."

"...Huh?"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

This person should be...

She turned to look at Ichiki Nijika.

Niji Natsumi also looked surprised.

"Nekoyashiki...Auntie..."

"Hmm? Xiao Hongxia used to call me Auntie Cat."

Nekoya Saki walked naturally into the rehearsal room, then turned around and closed the door.

"That was in the past, after all... that..."

Ichi Nijika scratched her head and glanced at the other two who remained silent.

Clearly, neither of them had reacted yet.

After all, I'm the only one who knows Aunt Nekoyashiki...

"Auntie Nekoyashiki, are you here to see the kitten?"

"Ichi Nijika asked softly."

Kita Ikuyo kept her head down nervously.

Why did you suddenly come in...?

I sang so energetically just now, my hair is all messed up...

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekoya Shiki.

He narrowed his golden eyes.

Something feels... a little strange.

"Ah, no, no, I just came to see you."

"Nekoya Shiki said with a smile."

"My name is Nekoya Saki, and I'm Haru's mom."

"Ah! I'm Kita!"

Kita Ikuyo subconsciously didn't want to say her full name, but then realized it in the next instant.

"Ahem, my name is Kita Ikuyo!"

"Hmm, it's a very cute name."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"...Yamada Ryo".

Yamada Ryo whispered his name.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you."

Cat House, Fusa-ki, looked around.

Do you usually practice here?

"Ah."

Ichi Nijika nodded, then asked.

"Um, what does Aunt Nekoyashiki mean by saying she's coming to see us?"

"Ah...it's just a meeting. I was in the audience listening to your performance last time."
