Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"I think... I like it here because of being with everyone."

Goto Ichiri blushed and lowered her head.

"So, as long as we stay together from now on, it's fine to go anywhere..."

"…Um!"

Kita Yukiyo nodded vigorously.

"That's what I think too!"

"Of course the band members will be together!"

"Ichi Nijika smiled."

"Have you always...been together?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

On the picnic blanket, Yamada Ryo opened his golden eyes.

Then he turned to look at Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri blinked when he noticed the gaze.

"... "

Yamada Ryo narrowed his golden eyes.

We've always been together...

"It's quite difficult."

Yamada Ryo said calmly.

"Senior Liang, you mustn't dampen my spirits!"

Kita Ikuyo said.

"Yeah, Ryo, and you probably want the band to keep going, right?"

"Ichi Nijika said."

"…Um…"

After a moment of silence, Yamada Ryo nodded in response.

That's what I think, and I believe the band will continue.

but…

I wasn't talking about a band.

Chapter 202 Alienation

It seems to be in an incredibly cold place...

The surrounding crowd cheered and jumped for joy, but it had nothing to do with him.

They walked past me as if they couldn't see me at all.

Actually, I don't hate it. If I could see myself, I would be so scared that I would turn into a puddle.

Eccentric, unapproachable, and completely unresponsive to normal social methods.

I'm almost out of touch with society now...

But it's okay, because we still have everyone.

Everyone will be there for me... to change slowly...

I will always be here...

It's quite difficult.

"!"

Goto Ichiri suddenly sat up from the tatami mat.

Blue eyes see a world shrouded in cold colors.

The sunlight outside the window was no longer golden, but rather a somewhat monotonous white.

Winter is here…

Goto Ichiri suddenly understood why he felt so cold in his dream.

The blanket was kicked off...

Just as the girl reached for the blanket that had been kicked away, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Ichiri woke up... Oh dear, you're already awake."

Goto Michiyo looked at Goto Ichiri sitting on the tatami mat in surprise.

"I've never gotten up this early before. Did I have a nightmare?"

"No...no."

Goto Ichiri shook his head.

"Really? Then hurry up and get up and change your clothes, then you have to go to school after you finish eating."

"Ah... um."

Goto Ichiri nodded.

Michiyo Goto closed the door and left.

"... "

Goto Ichiri lowered his head.

"What exactly did Liang mean by 'it's quite difficult'?"

Goto Ichiri suddenly realized that he seemed to care a lot about those words.

Although both Nijika and Kita told me not to worry about it.

but…

Goto Ichiri vaguely felt that this sentence was very important.

Very important...

...

……

.........

"Hiss...whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Dahei Yin was holding his hands and exhaling white steam.

"Is it that cold, Pa-san?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru, who was walking beside her, asked."

The two happened to meet on the road and then set off together towards the stars.

"It's so cold! Sigh... If I stay in this weather any longer, I'll become unable to move..."

"Where did you come from, a cold-blooded animal?"

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"Why did you come so early if you're so afraid of the cold?"

"It's so lonely staying at home alone..."

Dahei Yin shook his head.

"At least I can still tease the shop manager and you in the Starry Sky."

"I don't think either of us wants to be teased by you."

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked her purple eyes.

"So, Pa-san, you're actually the kind of person who's afraid of being alone and doesn't have any friends."

"Don't say such hurtful things! I have friends!"

"…where?"

"Online..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent for a while.

"Don't keep this meaningful silence! Doesn't it make me look especially pathetic?!"

"Big Black Voice has already shouted."

"A 25-year-old social outcast who can only stay cooped up in a rented room, ordering takeout or going downstairs to buy lunch every day, and whose only social interaction is online!!!"

"...He's not exactly a social outcast."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"And don't you still have us?"

"... "

Daikoku Oni ​​looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"It's just you and the store manager, and I feel like the store manager has been acting weirder lately."

"Isn't there still the End Band?"

"...Although I don't dislike them, we're not actually that close."

Dahei Yin shook his head.

"I told Xiaohongxia my name a long time ago."
