Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ichiko Hoshika paused for a moment, then nodded.

"...It should be...right..."

"Doesn't the store manager know what happened?"

Okoro stood up and looked at Ichiji Hoshika, her dark green eyes slightly narrowed.

"Hey~ Hey~ Tell me."

"...There's nothing worth knowing..."

Ichiji Hoshika turned her head.

"Could it be something to do with love?"

"Issue Oko is surprised," Dahei Yin said.

"Uh…"

Ijichi Seika's hand trembled slightly.

"Ah! That reaction, it seems so."

Dahei Yin nodded.

"Ugh... Qing's social circle isn't very big, so it must be one of the band members who ended the band. And if the shop manager is an insider... could it be Xiaohongxia?!"

Dahei Yin opened his eyes wide.

"... "

Ichiji Hoshika looked at Daikoku Otomi with displeasure.

"When did you become so gossipy?"

"... "

Dahei Yin narrowed his eyes.

It seems so.

That makes it very clear...

Because Xiao Hongxia did something that caused Qing to run away in the middle of the night and be found by me, whatever it was, it was definitely not something that would make Qing happy.

The store manager then spoke with Qing... because Xiao Hongxia had spoken to the store manager.

The shop manager went to find Qing because of his heartbroken sister.

If that's the case...

Dahei Yin raised her head expressionlessly.

"...Let's go up there."

"!"

Ichi Hoshika was suddenly taken aback.

"What...did you suddenly say?"

"...It's okay now~"

Dahei Yin shook his head.

Ijichi Seika frowned, but turned around and continued hanging the decorations.

"Manager, when do you think we'll meet someone we like?"

Dahei Yin asked.

"…ha?"

Ichi Seika frowned.

"Did we suddenly start talking about similar topics? That's why I'm asking."

"…have no idea."

"Ichi Hoshika answered casually."

"I have family, that's enough for me."

Ijichi Hoshika then added.

"Yeah…"

Dahei Yin nodded.

"Recently, I actually met a boy I really care about."

"what?"

Ijichi Seika looked surprised.

"How should I put it... his past is very similar to mine... Surprisingly, seeing him eat the meal I cooked gave me a feeling of making up for my past self..."

Daikoku Otoko continued.

"And with him around, I don't feel lonely at all. Although we don't actually do anything, it just feels different when he's around... Hmm... Maybe it's because I don't have many friends."

Before Dahei Yin left the ribbon, small snakes were hung on it.

"I guess I'm the kind of person who needs love... so the kind of child I can love and who can give me a sense of healing is the type of child I like."

Daikokuon looked at Ichiji Hoshika.

"What does the store manager think I should do?"

"...How...do you have to ask me about something like this?"

Ijichi Hoshika shook her head.

"If you like someone, go after them."

"...Yeah, I've thought about that too...but I'm afraid of scaring him."

Dahei Yin nodded.

"I don't dislike that person's personality. After all, we've spent quite a bit of time together, and now he's showing elements I like. I should definitely make a move... But he seems to be caught up in an emotional whirlpool... It feels like a lot of trouble."

"what?"

Ichi Seika frowned.

"What a jerk!"

"...Hmm...I feel like she has potential in that area."

Dahei Yin nodded, without denying it.

"But I still like it very much."

She then laughed.

Ichika looked at Okoro Otomi and finally sighed.

"...You're already this age... As long as you're happy... Anyway, I've lived this long, and I think that when it comes to these things, what matters most is that you're happy."

"Ichi Hoshika said."

"I can't answer these specific questions for you... You have to decide for yourself, after all, it's a major life decision."

"... "

Dahei Yin closed his eyes and nodded.

"I understand... Thank you for your explanation, store manager."

"Heh... there's no need for us to thank you."

"Ichi Hoshika laughed."

Chapter 232 Scumbag (Return)

Nekoyashiki Haru sat quietly on a bench in the street.

This place is fairly familiar; it's not far from [Starry Sky], and it shouldn't be a problem if I have a white cane.

At this moment, Nekoyashiki Haru is waiting.

He was holding his phone tightly in his hand.

"...Let me tell Pa first...she might still be waiting for me..."

Taking out her phone, Nekoyashiki Haru followed the sound and opened Daikoku Otomi's Line.

I have something to take care of, don't worry about me, you can go back first.

After sending the message, Nekoyashiki Haru put her hands into her sleeves.

We waited quietly in the falling snow.

The boy kept his head down.

In her seemingly more fragmented purple eyes, there appeared to be unreadable thoughts flowing.

"...It has to be done eventually..."

Tap...tap...tap...

A slight vibration was felt, a subtle sensation that a normal person wouldn't notice.

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head.

"...How long have you been here alone?"

A cool voice rang out, and Yamada Ryo asked.

"Ah...you came quite quickly."

"... "

Yamada Ryo raised his head and looked at the low building behind the boy.

Where did you go to live?
