Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Now... family, I guess..."

"... "

Dahei Yin's pupils suddenly contracted.

"…family?"

"Ah...that's roughly the idea...tsk, how should I put it, feelings are complicated, but..."

Ichiji Hoshika took a deep breath and continued.

"As for Qing, I am indeed willing to consider him 'family,' whether it's out of my own will and feelings... or something else..."

"...You used to think he liked you?"

"Daikoku Otoichi said."

"Cough cough cough! These don't conflict!"

Ijichi Hoshika slapped the table.

"In short, I don't think any of us would have any objections to treating him as part of the Ijichi family."

"... "

Dahei Yin looked at Yidi Zhixingge with seriousness.

He opened his mouth slightly, then slowly closed it again.

He gently stroked the table with both hands.

"is that so…"

"... "

Ichi Hoshika refocused her attention on the keyboard.

"Actually, this is just my opinion... Do you know why I was so angry when I first found out that Qing went back to Japan and didn't come to see us?"

"…Why?"

Dahei Yin asked softly.

"...I feel...he doesn't seem to consider us family..."

Ichi Hoshika closed her eyes.

"That's why I was so angry... I almost punched him..."

"... "

Dahei Yin lowered his head and remained silent.

"Actually, Hongxia was extremely excited when she saw Qing Shi become blind... I was the same way. When I first found out, it took me a while to calm down."

Ichi Hoshika lowered her head.

"I even had the thought that I failed to protect him... Well, I'm not exactly a reliable person to begin with."

"Store manager..."

Dahei Yin slowly raised her head.

"Ok?"

Ichiji Hoshika looked at Daikoku Onmi.

"Perhaps, Qing really isn't your [family]."

"Daikoku Otoichi said."

"…What?"

"...After all, he's been gone for so long. As I understand it...he may not really be your family anymore."

"...Why are you suddenly telling me all this?"

Ichi Hoshika squinted her eyes.

"...It's right to have expectations...but it also seems right not to have them..."

Dahei Yin took a deep breath and spoke to himself.

"family…"

"... "

Ijichi Hoshika's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"…I…"

Dahei Yin lowered his head.

"I just... don't want to be so lonely anymore..."

"what?"

Ichi Hoshika tilted her head.

"…sorry…"

Dahei Yin suddenly apologized.

"So if you don't explain it clearly, I won't understand."

Ichi Seika became a little excited.

"...It's not something you can understand just by being told it."

Dahei Yin shook his head.

"...Fine, whatever..."

Ichi Hoshika turned her head away.

"Wait a minute, don't let it cause problems when you're tuning."

"Don't worry, it won't happen..."

Dahei Yin nodded.

Her phone had just received a message.

【I'm home now】

"... "

Dahei Yinyi narrowed his eyes slightly.

...

……

.........

The road home is always lonely and without hope.

It's always been like this; the excitement and cheers I see and hear in the livehouse have nothing to do with me.

The reason for choosing this industry is nothing special, just like choosing between orange juice and peach juice—it's not a particularly important choice at all.

What is my future like? What are the things I want to do in the future?

None of these things mattered to Okoro Otomi.

It seems she truly has no roots in this world.

I stay up late every night and don't get out of bed until the afternoon of the next day.

Chat with the store manager and his sister, and crack some jokes.

And so another day passed.

day after day.

I do yoga occasionally, and I also do live streams sometimes.

In the game, I vent a little bit of the anger that I don't actually have much of.

And so it went, slowly passing by.

What will the future hold? Will it be terrible or wonderful? Or will we be so confused that we have no idea what will happen?

do not know.

Daikoku Oto had never thought about this kind of question before.

She was just a boring, empty shell of a person.

It looked like a freshly shed snake shell, a soft, moist, empty shell.

So... things are different now.

After that boy arrived, what started as a way to pass the time gradually turned into a genuine friendship.

Even if we're not close friends, just ordinary friends.

But it did indeed stir up some waves in my stagnant life.

However... I still won't think about the future.

He was a friend, and just a friend.

That's what Okoro Otomi has always thought.

Until the day he pushed his hand away.

Until that day, I realized that he was just as lonely as I was.

Until he was picked up from that convenience store…

until…

Daheiyin had already stopped in front of his own house.

She took a deep breath and then reached out to push open the door.
