Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"... "

Yamada Ryo lowered his head and ate.

"No."

"...Alright then."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and said nothing more.

The two quickly finished their bento boxes, and after handing the bento box to Nekoyashiki Haru, Yamada Ryo curled up back on the sofa once more.

Nekoyashiki Haru took the bento box, then walked to the kitchen and threw it into the trash can.

Did you bring a change of clothes?

Nekoyashiki Haru walked out of the kitchen and asked.

"I brought it, you can go ahead and wash it."

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

The sound of turning pages came from the direction of Yamada Ryo on the sofa.

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked.

So this guy actually likes reading?

However, he is usually not very talkative, so his quietness is normal.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and stopped thinking about it.

...

……

.........

midnight.

Clap!

The sound of something being smashed suddenly came from the kitchen, waking Nekoyashiki Haru from her sleep.

"…cold…"

Nekoyashiki Haru got out of bed and then walked out of the bedroom.

"What are you doing?"

"... "

Yamada Ryo poked his head out from the kitchen.

"you're awake?"

"With all that noise, it's hard not to wake up... so what are you doing?"

"I wanted to drink juice, but I accidentally broke the glass."

Yamada Ryo lowered his head.

"Feel sorry."

"It's just a cup...it's fine. By the way, be careful of cavities if you drink juice at night."

Nekoyashiki Haru narrowed her purple, fragmented pupils.

"By the way, what time is it now?"

Taking out her phone, Haru Nekoyashiki's fingers searched for the time.

【3:25】

A mechanical voice announced the news.

"?!"

Nekoyashiki Haru opened her eyes wide and then faced the direction of the kitchen.

"cold?!"

"... "

"If you're still not asleep at 3:25, are you staying up all night?"

"I can't sleep, I'm like that all the time."

Yamada Ryo nodded and said.

"...What do you do when you're at school?"

"Hmm... I adjusted my sleep schedule when I was in school."

Ryo Yamada crouched down, intending to pick up the shards of the cup.

however…

"Ugh..."

"What's wrong?!"

Nekoyashiki Haru stepped forward and asked.

"…fine…"

"You didn't accidentally cut yourself, did you?"

Nekoyashiki Haru said seriously.

"... "

"So you've agreed to it, haven't you?"

Nekoyashiki Haru patted her still slightly dizzy forehead and then said.

"You come out first."

"...The debris hasn't been cleared yet."

"That kind of stuff can be cleaned up anytime."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

After a moment of silence, Yamada Ryo nodded and walked out of the kitchen.

Nekoyashiki Haru stretched out her hand.

Yamada Ryo paused for a moment, then handed the juice he had poured in his other hand to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"...I mean, give me your hand..."

Feeling the cool, refreshing touch of the cup in her hand, Nekoyashiki Haru sighed helplessly.

Why does Yamada Ryo seem like he's gone idiot...?

Yamada Ryo struggled to open his eyelids, then took the juice he had just given to Nekoyashiki Haru, and placed his other hand in Nekoyashiki Haru's hand.

Nekoyashiki Haru pulled Yamada Ryo back to sit on the sofa.

"You can handle it yourself, right?"

"Please help me."

Yamada Ryo drank some juice to wake himself up.

She was afraid that if she waited too long to treat it herself, the band-aid might end up on something else.

Well, I'm just worried about putting it in the wrong place; it has nothing to do with anything else.

"One or two of them prefer to have blind people treat their injuries..."

Nekoyashiki Haru easily took out the small first aid kit.

"There weren't any fragments left, were there?"

"No."

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru quietly tended to Yamada Ryo's wounds.

Yamada Ryo continued drinking his juice.

After applying the band-aid, Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

Then suddenly I realized something.

Lately, Liang seems to be very sleepy...

People who stay up late for long periods of time wouldn't suddenly experience such changes, would they?

Nekoyashiki Haru's purple, fragmented pupils trembled slightly.

Then he let go of Yamada Ryo's hand.

Yamada Ryo withdrew his hand and waited for Nekoyashiki Haru to leave.

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't leave; she just sat quietly.

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with a puzzled expression.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"...It always feels weird to be asked by someone who's stayed up until 3:30 in the morning why they're still not asleep."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"You woke me up, so I can't sleep anymore. I'm just sitting here for a while."

"I'll become a night owl."

"You're a night owl now."

Nekoyashiki Haru said irritably, then suddenly asked another question.

"I said...do you really stay up late often?"
