Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ijichi Hoshika scratched her head impatiently.

"There are no seats left for me."

"... "

Hearing the sound, Nekoyashiki Haru looked up at Ijichi Seika.

His deep purple pupils shone like jewels.

"?!"

Iji Tomoka, who hadn't noticed Nekoyashiki Haru's exact appearance just now, was suddenly stunned.

"Cough cough..."

Then, in the next moment, I came to my senses.

Ichika turned her head to cover her mouth, then coughed softly.

Was the sound a little too loud just now?

They're just two little kids after all...

"I won't give my sister her seat..."

At that moment, Ichiji Nijika awkwardly turned her head and said.

"Kitty! Let's hog the sofa together!"

Niji Natsumi shook Nekoyashiki Haru's shoulder.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked, then nodded obediently.

"Hey!"

"Ichi Seika shouted in dissatisfaction."

"Oh dear, oh dear... we can't argue."

A blonde woman came out of the kitchen.

"This has nothing to do with me! It's Hongxia..."

Ichi Hoshika decided to file a complaint first.

"I don't want to put my toys away! I haven't finished playing with them yet!"

Ichi Nijika immediately stated her bottom line.

"...You little rascal..."

Ichi Seika's lips twitched.

"Hongxia, can you sit on your sister's lap?"

The woman asked softly.

"do not want!"

Still angry about being stood up today, Ichiji Nijika turned her head and said.

"Oh dear..."

When women are in a difficult position.

The purple pupils instantly captured the woman's predicament.

"... "

After a moment of silence, Nekoyashiki Haru jumped off the sofa.

"I'm going back now."

After saying that, he prepared to leave on his own.

despair…

Then the woman grabbed him.

"Really... why are all the kids like this a little bit problematic?"

The woman shook her head.

"What does this have to do with me..."

"Ichi Hoshika crossed her arms and whispered."

"Hey, Xingge, is it okay for this child to sit on your lap?"

The woman picked up Nekoyashiki Haru and said to Ijichi Seika.

"If it's just for a little while, I'll watch some cartoons with them."

"Huh? Why do I have to..."

"Because you promised Hongxia before, right?"

"this…"

Ichiji Hoshika guiltily turned her head away.

"Okay, okay, consider this compensation."

The woman pressed Ijichi Seika down onto the sofa, then placed Nekoyashiki Haru on her lap.

"Xiao Qing too! Don't think about leaving all the time. Nobody thinks you're superfluous."

The woman spoke to Nekoyashiki Haru with a slightly serious expression.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked, then nodded.

"Then I'll continue cooking. You guys should get along well."

The blonde woman rushed to the kitchen.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru obediently restrained her sitting posture.

Ijichi Seika nervously looked at the boy sitting on her lap.

This guy... is actually quite well-behaved.

On the other hand…

Ijichi Seika looked at Ijichi Nijika beside her.

"... "

Ichi Nijika is staring at her with red eyes that are exactly the same as her own.

Compared to Hongxia... isn't this guy even more obedient?!

And she's actually quite cute... well, not exactly unpleasant.

Nijika Ichi turned to look at the television.

Ijichi Seika was also watching TV, though her attention was mostly focused on the boy on her lap.

"Um... I mean, what's your name?"

Feeling a little awkward about not saying anything, Ichiji Hoshika asked softly.

"Nekoyashiki Haru".

The boy's voice was soft, without the usual chatter of children.

"Nekoyashiki... I've basically only ever heard of that surname in rumors..."

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru gave a soft reply and then fell silent.

"Uh…"

Ichi Hoshika scratched her cheek.

What should we talk about next...?

"Um... what do you do for a living?"

"...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head, her purple pupils looking at Ijichi Seika's face above her with a puzzled expression.

"Does being a primary school student count as a job?"

"Ah... well, good luck with your work."

What the hell are you talking about, you old hag?!

If you don't know how to chat, then don't chat... It's so awkward...

As she silently berated herself, Ichiji Seika's lips trembled.

"Pfft, my sister is an idiot!"

Ichi Nijika, who had been watching the two of them from the very beginning, suddenly laughed.

"Huh?!"

Ijichi Hoshika looked at Ijichi Nijika.

Meanwhile, Ijichi Nigatsu, still smiling, rushed over and hugged Ijichi Seika.

"I forgive you, sister! But you're not allowed to break your promise again!"

"... "

Ijichi Hoshika remained silent, turning her head away from Ijichi Nijika.

"...Why don't you speak?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.
