Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head to face Okoro Otomi.

"It's okay, I've been instigated about this many times."

"Hiroi and the others."

Dahei Yin nodded.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked up and drank her beer.

"But I never expected that I would actually pick you up when I went out."

"Issue Otoko said, resting her chin on her hand."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't know how to respond, so she just continued drinking.

"However, I don't dislike these kinds of unexpected events. Compared to the daily routine, these unexpected events are indeed more interesting."

Dahei Yin had already pushed the beer can over.

Let's clink glasses.

"Ah."

The half-empty beer can of Nekoyashiki Haru bumped into Okoro Otomi's beer can.

Would you like to listen to some music?

Dahei Yin asked.

"...No need, you can just watch your TV."

"I asked if you wanted to listen to music because I wanted to take care of you."

"Daikoku Otoichi said."

"I know, so I don't need to."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

Dahei Yin paused for a moment, then nodded and turned on the TV.

The television broadcast jokes from comedians and cheerful laughter from the guests.

Glug glug glug...

I sipped the beer down, one mouthful at a time.

Sizzle sizzle…

Bubbles rise.

Nekoyashiki Haru gradually felt dizzy.

"...?!"

The big black voice that turned around was suddenly stunned.

"You've already drunk half of it?!"

Seeing that the bag, which was originally full, was now half the weight, Daikokuon gaped open.

"At least eat something?"

Dahei Yin took out a bag of peanuts and asked.

"…Need not…"

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"What's wrong with you, looking so heartbroken..."

Dahei Yin sighed.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback.

"I'm not!"

"…ah?"

Dahei Yin tilted his head.

Suddenly you got excited?

"I'm not... heartbroken... I'm the one who..."

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head.

"I am... the one who hurts people."

"…Um?"

Dahei Yin blinked.

"You dumped him?"

"...No...I didn't agree, so it doesn't count as dumping..."

"So that means you're rejecting their confession?"

"...and did not refuse."

Are you keeping them hanging on?

"...It seems so..."

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

"... "

Dahei Yin narrowed his eyes, then asked while drinking.

"Who...is that?"

Dahei Yin asked.

"Who's ending the band? Is it Hiroi? Or could it be the manager?!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Honestly."

Daikoku Oto patted Nekoyashiki Haru's head.

"Hurry up, hurry up, tell me, I won't tell anyone."

"...Four people..."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said in a daze."

"Hmm, four people... huh?"

Dahei Yin opened his eyes wide.

Four?

"Ah."

"End the band?"

"Um…"

"... "

Dahei Yin opened his mouth.

"Exactly... what happened?"

"...Around the day I decided to stay, I learned that Hongxia and Yudai liked me, and I also told them...it's up to them to make me like them."

"…Then what?"

Dahei Yin was completely absorbed in his work.

"...Then, a very long time passed without any progress. It seemed exactly the same as before...but it also seemed a little different. I was getting a little anxious."

"What did you do?"

Dahei Yin asked.

"...No...but...Ryo and Ichiri have both said they like me now..."

"what?"

Dahei Yin was dumbfounded.

Nekoyashiki Haru opened a new beer and started drinking.

"...You're an adult, aren't you, pa?"

"Hmm? Let's say that for now?"

"...What...what should I do next?"

"Ask me this?! I know absolutely nothing about it."

Dahei Yin shook his head and said.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered her head.

Snap...

"?"

Upon hearing the sound, Dahei Yin was startled.

pat pat pat.

"What should I do...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head, tears rolling down her cheeks.
