Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"A black and gold pick... Little Kita?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru stood up.

What time is it now?

"7:30."

"Take me to see it..."

Nekoyashiki Haru clasped her hands together in prayer for Ooku Onmi.

Please.

Oh my god, that's ambiguous!

What I mean is there won't be any extra updates for the next few days! Basic updates will still be available!

Chapter 221 Meeting

It snowed today.

"Ah... this is probably the place."

Daikoku Oto helped Nekoyashiki Haru walk forward.

"Hiss... Ha... This awful weather..."

The woman shivered.

"Are you cold?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked Okoro Otoko.

"It's so cold."

Daikoku nods as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Sorry to bother you with this cold weather."

Nekoyashiki Haru apologized.

"After all, you asked me to do this, so are you sure that band hunter is Kita?"

Dahei Yin then asked.

"...I think so."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"uh-huh…"

Daikoku nods, then continues to ask.

"So...why are you here to see her now?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned.

"... "

Daikoku Otoko looked at Nekoyashiki Haru's purple, shattered pupils.

"Do you think Xiaoxi was upset because you left without saying goodbye, so you came to check on her?"

"...More or less."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

That's roughly what I think.

"... "

Dahei Yin blinked.

"There's nothing to see here."

Then he suddenly said this.

"Eh?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

Daikoku Otoko continued.

"What are you going to do when you meet her? Try to persuade her? Comfort her? What if she won't let you leave? Haven't you thought it through yet?"

"I ask calmly," Dahei Yin asked.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Snowflakes fell silently onto the accumulated snow.

Daikoku Oto continued.

"You've been spacing out a lot these past few days, probably thinking about how to solve their problems, but so far, you probably haven't come up with a solution yet?"

"…Um."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded gently.

"In that case, let's not meet. Let's meet again after you've thought it through. If you're worried about Kita, I'll keep an eye on him for you."

Dahei Yinyi laughed.

"It's really cold outside, so let's hurry back inside..."

Daikoku Otoko grabbed Nekoya Shiki's hand.

[A message from Sister Xingge]

The sudden notification sound startled both of them.

Nekoyashiki Haru took out her phone.

The big black voice next to him had already moved closer.

"...[Can we meet?]"

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback.

"Sister Xingge? You want to meet me?"

"Ah, that's roughly the idea."

Dahei Yin tilted his head.

"So why did the store manager want to meet with you?"

"...probably worried about me."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Then just tell her you're okay and don't worry."

Daikoku Oto had already taken the phone, but Nekoyashiki Haru didn't hand it back to her.

"Do you want to play it yourself?"

Daikoku Otoko raised her head and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Hmm... I'm planning to meet."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"... "

Dahei Yin nodded and said nothing more.

See you at the coffee shop near my house tomorrow.

After editing and sending the message, Nekoyashiki Haru put her phone away.

"Shall we go home now?"

Dahei Yin asked.

Just as Nekoyashiki Haru was about to speak, a figure suddenly darted over.

He walked past Nekoyashiki Haru with hurried steps.

"Band hunter!"

He was clearly someone who lacked skill and was completely outmatched by Kita Ikuyo.

"Ugh...that's terrifying..."

Dahei Yin opened his eyes wide.

"Is Kita really that strong?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru pursed her lips.

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be... at least not as good as me."

Nekoyashiki Haru then sighed.

"Sorry, Pa, I guess I still have to go check it out."

"... "

Dahei Yin narrowed his eyes.

"Ok."

Then he simply let go.

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.
