Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru's voice trembled.

"The promise you made to me..."

"I'm sorry, I broke the contract. I'm a liar."

Yamada Ryo approached Nekoyashiki Haru's face.

"Nekoyashiki Haru, I like you."

"!"

The purple, fragmented pupils were contracting violently.

Yamada Ryo smiled as he looked at the contracting pupils.

"This is it..."

You've stripped yourself bare, completely naked in front of me.

like.

“If it’s that tiring, Qing, I have an easier route.”

"...An easy...route?"

Nekoyashiki Haru's voice was still trembling.

"Yes, just leave everything to me."

Yamada Ryo smiled brightly.

"Come, give yourself to me, and then..."

Yamada Ryo approached Nekoyashiki Haru's lips.

"Let me help you choose your life path."

The girl's lips moved closer to the boy's lips.

As the heat approached, the hairs on Nekoyashiki Haru stood on end all over her body.

He turned his face away forcefully.

Yamada Ryo's kiss landed on Nekoyashiki Haru's face.

"... "

Yamada Ryo paused for a moment, then nodded.

It's not bad that we've reached this level today.

"I got my first kiss on the cheek."

"Haa...haa..."

Nekoyashiki Haru trembled and gasped for breath.

"cold…"

He kept calling her name, but there were no further words.

"I know you're probably thinking of running away right now."

Ryo Yamada looked at the door connecting the other carriages.

"But at least stay with me to watch the snow fall tonight."

Yamada Ryo spoke while looking around.

Looking at that through the glass window…

Two girls who were already in a daze.

Chapter 208 I Like You Too (Also)

what is that?

I like you, Nekoyashiki Haru.

Why... is Ryo-senpai sitting on senpai's lap?

"If you're so tired, Qing, I have an easier route."

Why... did Ryo-senpai say those things to his senior?

What does "tired" mean? What does "anxious" mean? What does "restless" mean?

If they don't like us... would that make them act like this?

Kita Ikuyo didn't understand.

She was just watching through the glass.

For a fleeting moment, the yellow-green eyes met the golden eyes.

Kita Ikuyo knew that Yamada Ryo had discovered them.

That's really how it is...

If they actually found it...

Then stop, okay?

Why…

Cheeks close together.

Why…

Through the window, she watched the boy's helpless expression.

Why is it still here...?

A kiss slowly landed.

Why are we still getting closer?

You're kidding, right... now?

Why now?

At a time that is no different from any other.

On this ordinary day...

It felt as if a sense of betrayal had seeped into my heart.

[Just joking around with everyone...]

[We're just laughing and joking together...]

[It's just everyone working together towards their dreams...]

That's enough for me.

All of this is...

They are all, they are all…

deceptive.

Kita Ikuyo's hand fell limply to her side.

Goto Ichiri watched with trembling as Yamada Ryo approached Nekoyashiki Haru's lips, followed by Nekoyashiki Haru turning his head away.

For some reason, Goto Ichiri felt a strange sense of relief.

She looked at Kita Ikuyo, and then froze.

Snap...

Tears streamed down Kita Ikuyo's face.

Water stains were created on the subway.

Why... even though I've been competing fairly with Ijichi-senpai for so long.

Why does seeing such a scene cause such...

Kita Ikuyo clutched her chest.

What I fear is…

Let me help you choose your path in life.

The life of a senior like that, the life of a senior chosen by Yamada Ryo...

Does mine exist...?

...

……

.........

Snowflakes fell onto the river.

Yamada Ryo put his hands in his pockets and looked at the city lights in the distance.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru and Yamada Ryo kept a distance of one body length, listening to the subtle sounds of their surroundings.

"So you understand now, right, Mr. Cat?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

I like you too.

"...So why..."

Nekoyashiki Haru's voice was suppressed.

"Because I've decided to become a con artist."

Yamada Ryo looked at the two figures approaching from a distance.
