Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Just as Goto Ichiri was about to pull Nekoyashiki Haru toward Jimi-sama's goal, Jimi-sama suddenly stopped.

"Ah... um, Jimmy Heng?"

Goto Ichiri tilted his head in confusion.

"Maybe it just smelled something exciting."

"Nekoyashiki Haru guessed."

"It should be...it should be like this..."

Goto Ichiri nodded, then looked at the park next door.

"Ah... um... Qing, let's go to the park..."

The girl suggested.

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

"I mean... let's go sit in the park for a bit..."

Goto Ichiri explained.

"There's probably snow on the bench."

Nekoyashiki Haru reminded her.

"I'll clean it little by little! If it's still not clean enough, I'll lick it myself..."

Goto Ichiri became excited.

"No need for that! I'll wipe it myself!"

Nekoyashiki Haru quickly answered.

Goto Ichiri nodded.

"it is good…"

And so, he led Nekoyashiki Haru to the park.

Goto Ichiri felt the sudden silence, his footsteps carrying a hint of urgency.

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly felt a little dazed.

I have a feeling... that Ichiri might have realized something.

Pulling Nekoyashiki Haru along, Goto Ichiri looked at the falling snow on the bench and hesitated slightly.

I don't think I brought anything to clean it in my pocket... Should I take my clothes?

No... that just doesn't feel right...

Goto Ichiri looked down at Jimmy Heng.

"Wang?"

Jimmy looked puzzled.

"... "

"...Woof?"

Goto Ichiri lowered his head.

"Sorry, Jimmy, I'll buy you something delicious later!"

"Woof woof?"

The next moment, Goto Ichiri picked up Jimi-Hen and used the dog's fur as a towel to sweep away the snow that had fallen on the bench.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Jimmy Heng became excited.

Nekoyashiki Haru, who was standing next to him, was slightly taken aback.

What did that dog suddenly bark at?

After putting Jimi Heng down, who had completed his task, Goto Ichiri carefully wiped the bench with his sleeve.

"Okay...okay!"

Goto Ichiri said with slight excitement.

"Very clean! Qing can sit down now!"

Goto Ichiri stepped forward and pulled Nekoyashiki Haru down to sit.

"Um…"

Nekoyashiki Haru pondered for a moment.

"You've been wiping for so long, did you bring a handkerchief or something?"

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri paused for a moment, then looked down at Jimi Heng, who was standing there in a daze, his dog fur still covered in a patch of snow.

"Ah... um... I brought it!"

Goto Ichiri nodded vigorously.

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded with a smile.

The two sat down on the bench.

Goto Ichiri sat upright and solemnly.

Nekoyashiki Haru, on the other hand, is a bit casual.

The lifeless, shattered purple pupils could see nothing.

There was no one else in the park.

Goto Ichiri waited anxiously for Nekoyashiki Haru to speak.

"...one li..."

"I'm here!"

Goto Ichiri said nervously.

Nekoyashiki Haru took a deep breath.

Am I...someone so likable?

Chapter 235 That's Right

"... "

Goto Ichiri stared blankly at Nekoyashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru wasn't facing her, but rather the distant falling snow.

"Christmas is coming soon... What kind of present does Ichiri want?"

Nekoyashiki suddenly asked.

"No...that..."

Goto Ichiri tensed up.

It's not about gifts, is it? What Qing just said... wasn't my imagination.

Am I...someone so worthy of being liked?

"Qing...you just said...you said it, right? It wasn't my imagination...right?"

Goto Ichiri asked cautiously.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"...I...I like you...I guess...because I don't even know what liking someone is...but...I definitely don't dislike you..."

Goto Ichiri placed her hands on her thighs.

"But why do you like it?"

Nekoyashiki Haru's hand was also placed on her thigh.

Then hold on quietly.

"What I did for Ichiri... is something any kind person would have done..."

"... "

Goto Ichisato looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Could you tell me again clearly the reasons why you liked me, which I mentioned before?"

Nekoyashiki Haru turned her head towards Goto Ichiri.

"…Yes…"

A blush began to rise on Ichiri Goto's cheeks.

She lowered her head and began to softly express her love.

"Because Qing is reliable, because Qing is gentle...like the sun, she can warm me...because of Qing..."

Goto Ichiri looked up at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Because Qing... likes me too... right?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned.

"I should say... I like everyone..."
