Lonely Rock for the Blind.

I really need to exercise more in the future!

Apart from Kita Ikuyo, the others ran forward, exhausted.

The rain pattered and sprayed mist onto the ground.

The figures of the group seemed to blur, and only the four colors of red, pink, blue and yellow could be seen.

"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer!"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes were almost closed from the raindrops hitting them.

"senior!"

"Haa...haa..."

Goto Ichiri's running form has become completely distorted.

But she still ran forward with all her might.

"No... I don't want to be alone like this anymore."

Yamada Ryo followed behind with his head down.

"Leave…"

pat!

The footsteps behind them grew closer and closer, and Ijichi Nijika looked up.

So... wait a little longer!!!

The four figures gradually drew closer and ran together toward the airport.

pat.

...

……

.........

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

In the rain, opposite the sound of rushing water, he seemed to hear something.

"Could it be..."

Haru Nekoyashiki, holding onto the wall, walked forward a little faster.

In the rain.

Under the rain.

Several people kept approaching.

"There's someone ahead?!"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

"Haa...haa...haa..."

Goto Ichiri raised his head, and then his pupils suddenly contracted.

"clear…?"

Yamada Ryo and Iji Chi Nichi Natsu, who were running with their heads down behind them, suddenly looked up.

pat.

The boy, soaking wet, stopped in front of the group.

"..." × 5

All five remained silent.

"...Ha...what is this...hahahaha!"

Nekoyashiki Haru laughed.

A bright smile graced her face, which wasn't hidden by sunglasses.

Kita Ikuyo's cheeks, streaked with red from her hair, flushed slightly.

"clear!"

Goto Ichiri rushed over and hugged Nekoyashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru reached out and caught it.

"senior…"

Kita Ikuyo slowly approached.

"I...I'm sorry..."

Snap...

Tears mingled with raindrops and streamed down my face.

"I...I shouldn't...I shouldn't have forced my senior to leave!"

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru listened calmly.

"Feel sorry…"

Yamada Ryo leaned closer.

"I ran away again."

"Ah... Liang, as an accomplice, you really are infuriating."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"However, I forgive you."

"…Um."

Yamada Ryo's lips curled up slightly.

"…kitten."

Ichi Nijika's voice rang out.

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

The red eyes are looking at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"...As expected... all along... I'm still as willful as ever..."

"... "

"But! Be willful if you want! Because... I don't want you to leave us!"

Ijichi Nigatsu pounced on and hugged Nekoyashiki Haru and Goto Ichiri.

"Wait, wait! If you come over like this suddenly, you might fall!"

"No! I'll hold on tight to you!"

"Okay, then you can carry me."

Kita Ikuyo looked at the three people hugging each other and couldn't help but smile, then she hugged them back.

"Count me in!"

"... "

Yamada Ryo blinked.

He then went up and hugged the others.

Snap...

Another set of footsteps sounded.

Nijika Iji looked up and immediately saw Nekoya Saki, who was standing near the group.

"!"

Her red eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly broke free from the embrace and ran to the group, then spread her arms wide like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"...Cat...Cat...Aunt Nekoyashiki!"

"... "

Nekoya Saki, who was holding an umbrella, narrowed her eyes.

The others also looked at Nekoya Shiki.

"…Ugh…"

Nekoya Saki sighed deeply.

"Auntie...I...we'll be good to the kitten...you don't need to worry..."

Ichi Nijika stood stiffly, speaking incoherently.

"No need for so many explanations... We've heard enough explanations today."

Nekoya Shiki shook her head.

"So, that's the answer."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said, still with her back to Nekoyashiki Saki.

"... "

Nekoya Shiki closed her eyes.

Then open your eyes.

"It's gotten to this point... it would be too ugly to continue being the bad guy."

Nekoya Saki walked towards the airport, holding an umbrella.

"I will still keep an eye out for opportunities to help you regain your sight... Of course, I won't force you if you don't want to..."
