Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Ok?"

Cat Houser, snapping out of her daze, opened her eyes wide.

"Yeah, what are you daydreaming about?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked at Ijichi Nijika.

"Look! Isn't my ribbon beautiful?!"

Noticing Haru's gaze, Nijika Iji smiled and showed off her plaid ribbon.

"…nice."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Hehe, because I'm cute! The kitten told me that before, didn't it?"

"Yes, Hongxia is very cute."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

Ijichi Seika, standing next to him, grinned.

"Narcissism..."

"Ugh! My sister is talking bad about me again!"

Nijika Ijichi said to Seika Ijichi with dissatisfaction.

"Hehehe... Just telling the truth."

Ijichi Hoshika shook her head and said.

He casually patted the head of the cat named Haruhiko next to him.

"Only Qinghe and Mom will keep praising you; I won't spoil you..."

"Humph!"

Ichi Nijika turned her head away.

"But... Sister Xingge, you're much more troublesome than Hongxia."

Nekoyashiki Haru helplessly grabbed Ijichi Seika's hand.

"Uh…"

Ichi Hoshika shuddered.

“You’re already a college student… yet you still wander around everywhere… and often run away from home and don’t answer the phone. Everyone is really worried about you.”

"Well... because you guys are annoying..."

"Ichika said in a low voice, dissatisfied."

"Xingge got scolded by elementary school students~"

The woman, whose face was blurred, laughed.

"Tsk..."

Ichiji Hoshika scratched his head.

She looked at Nekoyashiki Haru, actually wanting to refute something.

But she couldn't bring herself to say any of the rebuttals she could think of.

After all, this guy has really been a lot of trouble...

Whether it's helping to take care of her younger sister, covering for her, or something else.

Ichi Seika felt a little inferior in front of the boy.

"Oh, right, Xingge."

The woman clapped her hands and then said.

"You have a performance today, right?"

Yes, there is.

Ichi Seika nodded and said.

"Then, could you take us to see it together?"

"Aha?"

Ijichi Hoshika opened her eyes wide.

"Why?!"

"Actually, they both have the day off today, and I also wanted to show them your handsome side."

The woman pleaded.

"Is it alright, Xingge?"

“…Ugh…”

Ijichi Hoshika hesitated for a moment, then finally scratched her head and agreed.

"I know..."

"I don't want to go..."

Ichi Nijika turned her head.

"Xing Ge is very handsome on stage."

The woman said.

"No matter how handsome my sister is, I don't want to look at her!"

"Oh dear, oh dear... this child."

The woman looked at Ichiji Nijika with a slightly troubled expression.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru swallowed the bread in her mouth.

"I want to see, Nijika."

"Eh?"

Nijika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru in surprise.

Ijichi Seika, standing next to her, hummed twice, seemingly a little smug.

Nekoyashiki Haru continued.

"Can you come with me to see it, Rainbow Summer?"

"...Ugh...If, if it's just going with the kitten...then it's fine."

Ichi Nijika nodded "reluctantly".

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at Nekoyashiki Haru and winked.

Nekoyashiki Haru also blinked in response.

...

……

.........

"This is the livehouse..."

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

"There are so many people..."

Nijika Ijichi hugged Nekoyashiki Haru's arm tightly, feeling a little uneasy.

"Well, that's just the kind of vibe the band has..."

The blonde woman said helplessly, then patted the two of them on the shoulder.

"You guys go to the front in a bit."

Ichi Seika spoke to the group, then walked towards the rehearsal room.

"Just watch me rock the whole place!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru watched Ijichi Seika leave.

"She seems very happy?"

"After all, they are pursuing their own dreams."

The woman said.

"Ugh..."

Ichi Nijika was still a little scared.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked at Ijichi Nijika, then reached out and patted her on the shoulder.

Ichi Nijika turned to look at Nekoyashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"It's fine."

"…Um!"

Ichi Nijika nodded vigorously.

As more and more people arrived, the indoor lights dimmed.

The crowd, which had been a little noisy, quieted down.

The three people arranged to sit side by side in the front row, their purple eyes and two pairs of red eyes staring at the pitch-black stage.
