Lonely Rock for the Blind.

The proprietress, who already knew that "Poison Cat" was blind, enthusiastically reached out to help him onto the stage.

"... "

Hearing footsteps, Nekoyashiki Haru subtly moved away.

"Just like last time, I can go by myself."

Pat-pat-pat.

With a flick of her cane, Nekoyashiki Haru quickly walked to the stage and sat down.

The boy reached out and touched the keyboard in front of him.

"Hehe, they'll be here in about 30 minutes. Mr. [Poison Cat], is there anything you need?"

The proprietress walked over with an awkward smile.

"No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head slightly.

"Oh, I see... By the way, Mr. [Poison Cat], I'm a huge fan of yours!"

The proprietress suddenly said.

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly taken aback.

"Thank you... Come to think of it, didn't you already tell me this from the beginning?"

"Would you mind if I didn't repeat myself? Oh, would you like something to drink first? It's on me..."

"Need not."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head in refusal, then lowered her head and continued to stroke the keyboard.

"You go ahead with your work, I'll familiarize myself with this place for a bit."

"... "

The cold politeness and distance in the voice made the proprietress sigh silently in her heart.

He then walked back to the bar.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru's hands traced across the keyboard repeatedly, silently calculating the time in her mind.

"It's almost time."

Nekoyashiki Haru stopped typing and sat quietly in front of the keyboard.

boom.

The door was pushed open.

Indistinct footsteps approached, in the void…

"!"

My eyes are starting to itch again...

Nekoyashiki Haru took a deep breath and silently endured.

There are probably people everywhere now. If I take off the hood, what will happen to my persona?

[Poisonous Cat] Never take off the mask!

Holding onto this inexplicable belief, Nekoyashiki Haru took a deep breath and began to play.

...

……

.........

"...That's definitely Qing..."

Sitting at a table in the corner, watching the performance of "Poison Cat" in the distance, Iwashita Shima grinned and said.

"His sudden decision to perform at a restaurant... is so unusual for him..."

Splash...

On the other side, Yuyuko Otsuki put down the newspaper that was covering her face.

The girl wore heart-shaped pink sunglasses, had a fake mustache glued to her chin, and wore a hat several times the size of her usual small hat.

"...Why are you dressed like this?"

Iwashita Shima asked, frowning.

"Fake, disguise!"

"I'm nervous," said Yuuko Otsuki.

"... "

Iwashita Shima sighed softly.

"Who are you trying to fool?"

"Harumae... Ah!"

Yuuko Otsuki suddenly realized that Haru Nekoyashiki couldn't see her.

"...fake, I'm just pretending for you."

"... "

Are there no normal children around me...?

Iwashita Shima tapped his forehead.

"Ms. Shima...you also think that your behavior is very unusual, right?"

Yuuko Otsuki asked in a low, serious voice.

“…It’s definitely abnormal…In the past, Qing had no interest in making money at all; she was more interested in performing for the sake of performing.”

Iwashita Shima closed her eyes.

“A record company had actually approached him before, but he refused because he thought it was too much trouble. We also performed at a restaurant before, and he refused to go with us again, citing the trouble as the reason.”

"I see... Speaking of which, your family must be very wealthy, right?"

Yuyuko Otsuki then asked.

"It should be. Although I'm not sure of the specifics, Eliza used to joke that Qing could buy the lives of everyone in our band."

Iwashita Shima pretended to be intimidating.

"That sounds terrifying?!"

Yuuko Otsuki's eyes widened, and her fake mustache fell off.

"It was just an exaggerated joke, but it also shows that the Qing family is indeed quite wealthy."

Iwashita Shima sighed.

"So why did you suddenly decide to do this...?"

"They were definitely coerced by those vampires from the End Band!"

Otsuki Yuyuko said.

"The senior's sunglasses have all been pawned!"

"...So, did you do it in front of you? Or is it just something you imagined?"

Iwashita Shimashi asked with eyes wide open.

"That's just my imagination."

"It's Yuuko Otsuki," she said calmly.

"I knew it."

Iwashita Shima sighed and nodded, then sighed again and said.

"But... what you said might not be without merit."

Otsuki Yuuko's eyes lit up.

"Coercion! Vampires! End the band!"

"Are these three keywords inseparable from your little mouth?"

Iwashita Shima covered Otsuki Yuuko's mouth.

"I went to [Starry Sky] during the day today."

"Have we stumbled into a den of demons...?"

"Otsuki Yuuko exclaimed in horror."

"You... never mind..."

Iwashita Shima shook his head.

"Well... the atmosphere was actually pretty good, but it just felt a little strange..."

Iwashita Shima propped her head up with her hand, her wine-red eyes slightly narrowed, taking in Nekoyashiki Haru on the resident stage.

"Excluding the possibility of his family going bankrupt, at the very least, Qing must be short of money for some reason right now, and it's a situation where she can't ask her parents for money."

"I...I still have money here!"

Yuyuko Otsuki offers her a wallet.

"... "

Iwashita Shima looked at Otsuki Yuuko and sighed, without saying a word.

Exhausted…
