Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru helped Goto Ichiri up, then looked at Yamada Ryo behind her.

"...That's enough for today, please."

"…Um."

Yamada Ryo lowered his head and responded softly.

...

……

.........

"Ah..."

Walking down the street, Kikumi Hiroi swayed as she held a bottle of liquor.

"Where should we go for a drink later... Oh?"

On a bench in the distance, the bright red hair was strikingly eye-catching.

"This is?"

Kikusato Hiroi walked towards the bench, and the red-haired girl on the bench looked up.

"...Little Red? What are you doing here?"

Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head.

“…Kikuri…senpai…”

Kita Ikuyo was stunned.

"...You're still drinking so late..."

"What are you talking about? This is normal."

Kikuto Hiroi sat down next to Ikuyo Kita and handed her a bottle of sake.

"Want a bite?"

"I am a minor!"

"Xiao Qing is also a minor. Didn't I coax her into drinking it back then? Hahaha!"

Hiroi Kikuri, drunk, was carefree.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"…senior…"

"Hmm? The term 'senior' is just calling Xiao Qing, right? So what's wrong?"

"…I…"

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fist.

"I really..."

"Ok?"

Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head.

"I really... really like you, senior!"

"?!"

Hiroi Kikuri, who was drunk, sobered up for a moment.

Chapter 210 Longing to See

"Why... why are you suddenly telling me this?"

Hiroi Kikuri was at a loss.

She didn't expect to hear this here.

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head.

"You don't have to listen... I'm just talking to myself... don't mind me."

"No... after all, you told me everything."

Hiroi Kikuri gripped the sake bottle tightly.

"You've fallen for Xiao Qing... isn't that great?"

Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head.

"Xiao Hong is a cute girl, isn't she...? And she and Xiao Qing are quite a good match...?"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"...But my senior doesn't like me."

"what?"

Hiroi Kikuri was suddenly stunned.

"You were rejected after confessing your feelings?"

"No! There hasn't been a formal confession yet!"

Kita Ikuyo exclaimed excitedly.

"I just... I just..."

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fist.

"Ijichi-senpai... also likes you, and we agreed from the beginning to compete fairly..."

"...You lost?"

Hiroi Kikuri asked.

"no!"

Kita Yukiyo shook her head.

"…I don't…"

"Ah... what exactly is it?"

"...Today...on the train, I saw Ryo-senpai kissing senpai."

"A third one? And... kissing... on the lips?"

The bottle was gripped tightly.

"No...senpai dodged...she only kissed my cheek...but..."

Kita Ikuyo's breathing became rapid.

"I feel so bad... I really feel so bad... What did Senior Ryo say about helping Senior choose your life... What did she mean by entrusting Senior's life to her..."

Kita Ikuyo looked up, her yellow-green eyes reflecting the starry sky.

"It really hurts... but it seems... Ryo-senpai is right... Ijichi-senpai and I... have been too lazy..."

"... "

Hiroi Kikuri opened her mouth.

The alcohol is bubbling.

She looked up at the starry sky.

"Ah...I see..."

So many people like Xiao Qing...

"I...I'll head back now. Kiku-senpai, you should go back early too..."

Kita Ikuyo said this to Hiroi Kikuri, then got up to leave.

"Ah... wait a minute, Xiao Hong."

Hiroi Kikuri, who was looking down, called out to Kita Ikuyo.

"...Is there anything else?"

Kita Ikuyo looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"... "

That's correct too...

Just a little help would be appreciated...

Yes... please help...

"I know Xiao Qing quite well..."

Hiroi Kikuri looked at Kita Ikuyo and smiled.

Do you need my... help?

"?!"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

She suddenly remembered something.

"Kikuri-senpai...don't you like senpai?"

She asked bluntly.

"Haha...we're just friends. Look at me, I'm an alcoholic, there's no way I could be with him."

Kikuri Hiroi shook her head.

"So, Xiaohong, do you need my help?"
