Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Oh, is this a guide dog? Can I touch it?"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and gently patted the four corners of the head.

The four corners obediently walked up to Yamada Kyoka and accepted the woman's caresses.

"So good!"

Kyoka Yamada laughed, then looked up at Haru Nekoyashiki.

"Hey, Nekoyashiki-kun, is Ryo doing well at your place?"

"Well, he can eat and sleep well, so it's fine for now."

"Did I cause you any trouble?"

"No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

Kyoka Yamada remained silent for a while.

"So, Nekoyashiki-kun asked me out... because of debt issues?"

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback.

boom!

Kyoka Yamada took out a briefcase and placed it on the table.

"Well, this money should be enough to pay off Xiaoliang's debts!"

Kyoka Yamada said with a little excitement.

"She became like this because I spoiled her too much in the past, but she's a good child!"

"...No, the reason I asked you out wasn't about debt."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"Huh? Isn't that right?"

Kyoka Yamada took the briefcase back.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you why Liang ran away from home."

"Ok?"

"I'm sorry, this might be a bit presumptuous of me, but I still want to ask clearly."

Nekoyashiki Haru stood up straight.

"I consider myself to have a decent relationship with her, and we're good friends, so I hope you can tell me why."

"... "

Kyoka Yamada tilted her head slightly.

"Have you asked Xiaoliang?"

"She doesn't want to talk about it."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"Um…"

Kyoka Yamada lowered her head slightly.

Then he looked up and sized up the boy.

A straight back, a serious face.

Kyoka Yamada opened her mouth.

"Actually, it's because she's been staying up late a lot lately."

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly froze.

This guy stayed up all night yesterday too.

"Recently?"

"Ah."

"And then you tried to persuade her, and she ran away from home?"

Nekoyashiki Haru said in disbelief.

"It can't be that bad! Xiao Liang may be willful, but she's not that extreme!"

Kyoka Yamada quickly offered an explanation.

"Actually, it's because Xiao Liang stayed up late."

"Why are you staying up late?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"Ah."

Kyoka Yamada said slowly.

"It seems like she's been reading a lot of medical books lately, which is why she's been staying up late all the time."

"Medical books...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru quietly clenched her fist under the table.

Chapter 188 Bluebird

Shaking and wobbling...

In my dreams, I feel like I'm in a cradle.

The shaking then became increasingly violent.

Ryo Yamada was forced to wake up from his sleep.

"... "

Golden eyes looked at Yashiki Haru, who was still shaking his cat beside him.

Like a cat playing with a ball of yarn...

"I'm awake... Stop shaking me."

"It's good that you're awake."

Nekoyashiki Haru stood up.

"It's almost 5 o'clock now, you've been sleeping all day."

"... "

Yamada Ryo remained silent, sitting on the sofa as if he were turning on a computer.

"Aha…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed softly, then smiled.

"I went out for a bit, and I've bought you dinner."

Nekoyashiki Haru pointed her finger at the table.

Yamada Ryo looked over.

The steaming food was already laid out on the table.

Yamada Ryo was taken aback.

"So lavish?"

"Isn't it better to have a more substantial meal?"

Nekoyashiki Haru sat down at the table with a sigh.

"Go wash up quickly."

"Oh."

Yamada Ryo nodded in agreement, and then headed towards the restroom.

Nekoyashiki Haru sat at the dining table, and he could feel the steam rising from the food.

The sound of running water in the bathroom, the ticking of the alarm clock on the living room wall, and the sound of Yamada Ryo brushing his teeth.

These sounds constitute his world.

Just as he said during that previous downpour, he was prepared.

but…

Yamada Ryo sat down opposite Nekoyashiki Haru and then began to eat in silence.

You eat so fast.

"Can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can hear the chewing and swallowing sounds."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Then you'd better listen to me, and you'd better remember this so that next time I steal food, you'll at least know it was me who stole it."

Yamada Ryo said calmly.

"Hmm... Don't you feel ashamed to have these things heard?"

Nekoyashiki asked with a light laugh.

"why?"
