Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"... "

Ijichi Hoshika's expression appeared somewhat serious.

"I…"

Suddenly being looked at like that by her older sister, Ichiji Nijika's words caught in her throat.

"If you did something to offend him, shouldn't you at least apologize?"

"...If you want to apologize..."

Ichi Nijika clenched her fist.

I wasn't discovered...maybe I wasn't discovered, and the kitten might not even know I was there...

But...but...now the kitten has run away in fright...

Ichi Nijika bit her lower lip.

"...Hongxia..."

Ichi Seika frowned.

What did you do?

"…I…"

Nijika Ijichi trembled as she reached out her hand to Seika Ijichi.

"?"

Ichiko tilted her head in confusion.

The next moment, Ichiji Nijika opened her hand.

What appeared there was a key.

"... "

Ichi Hoshika blinked.

"key?"

"Um…"

Ichi Nijika nodded.

"What...does this mean?"

Ichi Hoshika continued to ask.

"This is the key to the kitten's house..."

"Ichi Nijika said, bowing her head."

"...Qing...Did he give it to you? Or..."

"I secretly mixed it up myself."

"!"

Ijichi Seika snatched the key from Ijichi Nijika's hand.

"Hongxia!"

"... "

Ichi Nijika slowly withdrew her hand.

"Why...?"

"At first, I just wanted to... take a look."

Ichi Nijika opened her mouth.

"But later it seemed like I wouldn't be discovered... so I often sneaked over to Qing's house, but the last time it seems... I was discovered."

"... "

Ichika gripped the key tightly, then her pupils contracted.

"Wait... so that's why he asked me for leave and told you he'd be back in a few days?"

"...should...be..."

Ichi Nijika nodded.

"...You scared him away?"

Ichi Hoshika continued to ask.

"...I don't know...it seems like the kitten initially noticed someone was there, then it messaged me for help, and then my phone rang..."

Ichi Niji Natsu closed her eyes.

"... "

Ijichi Seika stood up and put the key away.

"...No wonder he ran away..."

Upon discovering someone was home, they sought help from close relatives, only to find that the person in their home was indeed that person.

Anyone would run away if they were in that situation.

"What exactly do you want, Hongxia?!"

Ijichi Hoshika was a little angry.

No, actually I'm very angry.

"I…"

Ichi Nijika trembled.

"... "

Ichiji Hoshika opened her mouth.

But he still didn't say anything.

She suddenly remembered the past, the scene where Nekoyashiki Haru ran up to her, snatched the cigarette, threw it on the ground, and cried as she told her that Nijika needed her.

That was the first time she had ever seen a boy cry so hard.

and so…

"...He really...cares about you..."

Finally, all Ichishi Hoshika could do was clench her fists and say this.

Then I walked toward the door.

"I'm going to find him... Hongxia..."

Ijichi Seika originally wanted to say something like, "You have to apologize."

But in the end, he didn't say it.

"...Go to sleep early."

boom.

The door was closed.

Ichi Hoshika walked to the door.

Take out your phone.

She instinctively wanted to call Nekoyashiki Haru.

But his hand stopped in mid-air.

"... "

In the end, I just sent a message.

Can we meet?

Then he leaned against the door and fell silent.

...

……

.........

"Band Hunter?"

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned as she faced Okoro Otomi.

"Yeah, that's all they talked about today."

Dahei Yin nodded.

"They said they were making a comeback and starting to hunt in their area."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

other people?

No, it could only be Yuyo…

But, although she did say before that she wanted to be a band hunter, but... at this moment...

Was it really not because I left?

Dahei Yin had already taken out his phone.

"Hmm... there has actually been such discussion recently, but I hadn't paid much attention to it before."

"...What are the characteristics?"

"They say he's the 'Band Hunter 2nd Generation' or something, and he appears between 8 and 9 pm, still wearing the black and gold pick from the previous generation around his neck..."

Dahei Yin suddenly froze.
