Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"...Huh?"

Ichi Nijika stood there, stunned.

Chapter 237 A Dialogue Between You and Me

"... "

In the pitch-black room, Ichiki Nikka got out of bed.

Regardless of the complex emotions that Ichiji Nijika derives from Nekoyashiki Haru's words, at least... she's not feeling so down anymore.

Splash...

The curtains were drawn back, letting in the light from outside.

"...It's almost time for practice..."

Ichiji Niji Natsumi took a deep breath and patted her face.

"...I definitely need to get to the bottom of what the kitten said..."

Ichi Nijika walked to her wardrobe, took a deep breath, and began to change her clothes.

Splash...

After tying her yellow hair up with a ribbon, Ichiji Nijika turned to look at her room door.

I hugged him... Maybe I just misunderstood?

It might just be a simple hug...

The kitten's seemingly harem-like remarks might just be a misunderstanding.

So you need to ask about all these things... but at least...

It's certain that the kitten doesn't blame me... or hate me.

That's...great!

The triangle on his head trembled slightly.

Nijika Ichichi opened the door to the room.

Then he walked towards the door outside.

She always felt unusually cheerful.

Although the specific reason is unknown, the change definitely originated from the boy.

She didn't dislike this feeling... it was definitely better than being alone in her room wallowing in despair!

He still felt guilty, and this couldn't be dismissed with a few words from the young man.

However, even for the sake of the kitten, I can't go on like this anymore.

Click...

Ichi Nijika stepped out of the door and headed towards the stairs.

pat, pat.

Their steps were light and quick.

Thump, thump.

The footsteps are heavy.

Nijika Ichi walked down the stairs.

Dahei Yin was already walking up the stairs.

So the two met on the stairs.

"Eh?"

Ichi Nijika was stunned.

"Miss Pa?"

"Ah, Xiao Hongxia."

Dahei Yin was smiling.

Good afternoon.

"Good afternoon... wait, why is Miss Pa here?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked."

"Actually, I lied to the store manager and came here on purpose."

"Daikokuon has opened his eyes and said."

"Eh?"

Ichi Nijika was a little taken aback.

"What do you mean by 'specifically'?"

"Ah... because it's about time for Xiaohongxia to start practicing at [Starry Sky], so I came up here to look for her, but I just happened to run into her in the stairwell."

"...came to see me?"

Ichi Nijika blinked.

"Yes, they came to see Xiao Hongxia."

Dahei Yin nodded.

"Is this a reminder that it's time for my practice?"

Ichi Nijika tried to guess the woman's intentions.

"Thank you, Ms. Pa, but I've actually been keeping track..."

"No, Xiao Hongxia will definitely remember that kind of thing herself."

Dahei Yin shook his head.

"Then...why did you come to me?"

Nijika tilted her head and asked.

"... "

Okoro Otoko was looking at Ichiji Nijika.

His dark green eyes narrowed slightly.

Ichi Nijika suddenly had a feeling that she was being watched by something dangerous.

I couldn't help but feel nervous.

"...Xiao Hongxia, did you see Qing today?"

Daheiyin asked aloud.

"You saw her...? Miss Pa?"

Ichi Nijika instinctively answered truthfully, but quickly realized what she had done wrong.

She stared at Daikoku Otoko with her big red eyes.

"Why...how did Miss Pa know?"

I guessed it!

Dahei Yin smiled.

"So, what did you talk about?"

Dahei Yin tilted his head and asked.

"Huh? Ah... no, then let's say it's a question between me and the kitten..."

Ichi Nijika wanted to refuse to continue the conversation.

"Qing has been staying at my house for the past few days."

"Dahei Yinyi said softly."

"...Huh?"

Ichi Nijika stood there, stunned.

"Nekoyashiki Haru has been staying at my house for the past few days."

Daikoku Otoko emphasized it again.

"No... well, I understand, it's just... I didn't expect to be staying at Miss Pa's house. I thought Kitten would be going..."

"Ichi Nijika said."

"Going to his old friends' houses, right? Like the Hiroi family or something."

Dahei Yin shook his head.

"If Qing was really planning to leave from the beginning, then she probably would have gone to their house."

"...At the beginning? Planning to leave?"

There was something that Ichiji Nijika didn't quite understand.

"Ah."

Dahei Yin nodded.

"Actually, Qing walked out alone at night that day."

Time passed second by second, the snow gradually stopped, and the setting sun shone through the window, bathing Ichiji Nijika in orange-red light.

Below the steps, darkness gradually deepened, enveloping Ooko Otoko, whose dark green eyes calmly and coldly gazed at Ichiji Nijika.

"A person slowly touches a void, walking from their own home into the snow-covered neighborhood... Perhaps the reason is simply to suppress their chaotic inner turmoil."

"I've thought about it, what kind of feelings did he have? Regret? Disappointment? Guilt? Or all of them? He walked to a convenience store, seemed to buy a can of soda, then sat down at the entrance, wrapped himself in a black hoodie, and then was covered in frost from the falling snow... Xiao Hongxia..."
