Lonely Rock for the Blind.

The moment the door is opened, the moment the cold winter night is welcomed.

The woman's movements stopped.

She opened her mouth, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

It was very, very slow, as if they were deliberately stalling for time.

After exhaling the last breath...

Hiroi Kikuri turned around and smiled.

"My only courage will be used to leave you..."

Chapter 269 Luring the Cat

"... "

In the morning, the cat Yashiki Haru sat on the sofa with a frown.

"...Where are they?"

Hiroi Kikuri, who should have been soundly asleep on the sofa, was nowhere to be seen, and her messages went unanswered.

You went back last night?

Anyway, Nekoyashiki Haru didn't believe that Hiroi Kikuri, who had drunk so much of it, would wake up earlier than her.

"Ok?"

The phone suddenly rang, and Nekoyashiki Haru was startled for a moment.

It's information from Hiroi Kikuri.

Sorry, I was thinking of going out for some soju last night, so I went out, but I didn't have my keys and couldn't get back, haha!

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru squinted her eyes.

The three colored dots on its eyes also trembled.

"...Something definitely isn't right."

Although what Hiroi Kikuri said was consistent with what she would do, Nekoyashiki Haru still sensed something was wrong almost instinctively.

Haru Nekoyashiki suddenly remembered that last night, Shima Iwashita had said that she could visit Folt often...

"... "

I don't have anything to do during the day anyway, so I'll go check it out...

Nekoyashiki Haru stood up and walked outside.

...

……

.........

The festive atmosphere on the streets is already very strong.

It didn't snow today either.

Wearing thick winter clothes, Nekoyashiki Haru walked towards Folt, guided by her past memories.

Nekoyashiki Haru's heart also inexplicably calmed down.

For no reason at all…

Nekoyashiki Haru pulled the thick scarf in front of her mouth off with her hand and took a deep breath.

The cool air rushed into my body, making my mind a little clearer.

"Xiaoqing?"

The sudden sound from behind startled Nekoyashiki Haru.

"That voice...Eliza?"

"It's me."

The blonde woman walked up behind Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Why is Xiao Qing here? She shouldn't live around here anymore."

"Come and take a look..."

Haru Nekoyashiki answered.

"I see, you missed everyone!"

Eliza laughed.

"But right now, Folt is full of people you don't know."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent.

Thinking about it carefully, it's true. Kiku and the others usually only have live performances at night, not to mention Yuuko, who is at school at that time.

So... aside from the possible store manager, there really won't be anyone I know in there.

"And Eliza, what about you... why are you here?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"I'm just out for a stroll~"

Eliza laughed.

"Although Xiaoqing doesn't know anyone at Folt, I am someone Xiaoqing knows. Would you like to go shopping with me?"

"…Um…"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded in agreement, then asked another question.

"By the way, Eliza, have you seen Kikuri?"

"Hmm? Kikuri?"

Eliza paused for a moment, then touched her chin.

"Hmm~ I'll just sleep at home."

"…sleep?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

"Yes, she got really drunk last night and had to call me to take her home."

Eliza said.

"...Is it very late?"

Nekoyashiki Haru then asked.

"Yes, Xia Qing is very worried about Xiao Juli?"

Eliza tilted her head.

"Don't worry, because Kiku has always been like this, hasn't she?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"That's true, but last night she..."

"Anyway, Xiaoju is definitely fine now. Let's go, let's go for a walk."

"wait…"

Before Nekoyashiki Haru could finish speaking, her hand was grabbed and she was pulled away from Folt.

"Eliza, you're walking a little too fast."

On the way, Nekoyashiki Haru said softly.

Eliza paused for a moment, then slowed her pace.

"Um... I got a little too excited after seeing Xiao Qing, so..."

Eliza scratched her head.

Anyway, I'm very sorry.

"... "

Eliza slowed her pace, and Nekoyashiki Haru's steps also slowed down.

The two walked quietly along the snow-white street.

"Winter in Tokyo is very similar to winter in England."

Eliza suddenly spoke up.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then began to delve into her memories of the British winter when she could still see it.

But... I can't remember.

"...I don't seem to remember it."

"I can't believe it," said Nekoyashiki Haru.

"... "

Eliza's hand clenched slightly, and her pupils dilated and contracted slightly.

"Eliza?"

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned as she felt her hand being gripped tightly.

"Sigh... I just suddenly remembered some things from a long time ago."

"British?"
