Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Kikuri Hiroi shook her head in denial.

"I kept this for myself..."

"...Yes, I see."

Eliza nodded, then pushed the beer towards Hiroi Kiku.

"Hey, the wine you asked me to buy."

"Thank you... If it were Shima, she definitely wouldn't make me drink this."

Kikuri Hiroi said.

"... "

Eliza tilted her head and said.

"I actually think it's not good for you to drink so much..."

"Then why did you buy it for me?"

Hiroi Kikuri was puzzled.

"Because Xiaoju is in a very bad mood, it would be a bit cruel not to let you drink at this time."

"... "

Hiroi Kikuri was silent for a moment, then put down the sake jar and asked.

"Has Qing arrived?"

"Xiao Qing is here, and it seems she came specifically to see you."

Eliza nodded and said.

"Just as I thought..."

Hiroi Kikuri narrowed her eyes.

"No matter how much my reasons sounded like those of [Hiroi Kikuri], he could still sense that something was off..."

"I chatted with Xiaoqing for a while and told her that you were okay."

Eliza said.

"Hehe, thanks Eliza."

"... "

Eliza did not speak.

She watched in silence as Hiroi Kikuri started drinking again, then suddenly spoke up.

"Kikuri".

"Ok?"

Hiroi Kikuri was slightly taken aback when she wasn't called "Kikuri".

"Why don't we give it a try?"

Eliza said.

"... "

Hiroi Kikuri opened her mouth.

Then he lowered his head.

"No..."

Chapter 272 Siblings

"Aha…"

Beside the garbage heap, after throwing her trash into the adjacent pile, Ichiji Hoshika yawned and walked towards the direction of [Starry Sky].

She slept all day today, well...

I slept really well.

"oops?"

Suddenly, a person wearing a baseball cap emerged from the alley next door.

Ijichi Hoshika glanced over instinctively, then paused, momentarily stunned.

"...Shima?"

"What a coincidence, Manager Ijichi."

Iwashita Shima, with his hands in his pockets, chuckled.

"... "

Ijichi Hoshika turned around and looked at the [stars] not far away.

Then look back at Iwashita Shima.

"...It's quite a coincidence."

"Ichi Hoshika said."

"Cough cough..."

Seemingly realizing that his words lacked persuasiveness, Iwashita Shima coughed to show his embarrassment.

“I’m definitely not just passing by… I came here specifically for [Starry Sky].

Shima Iwashita said.

Ijichi Hoshika walked towards the [Stars], and Iwashita Shima quickly followed behind her.

"You don't have a performance today?"

As she walked, Ichiji Hoshika asked.

"Not today."

Iwashita Shima nodded and said.

"So you've come to see Qing again?"

"Ichiko asked."

"... "

Iwashita Shima remained silent for a while.

"Not really, just consider me here to see a show."

"…OK."

Ichiko nodded and then walked down the stairs in front of the [Starry Sky] door.

"Manager Ichichi, Haru hasn't joined your sister's band yet, right?"

Iwashita Shima said suddenly.

Ijichi Hoshika paused for a moment as she walked towards the bar.

"It doesn't really matter whether you join or not."

"Ichika turned around and said."

"Would you like something to drink? It's on me."

"No."

Iwashita Shima shook his head.

"... "

Ichi Seika nodded, paused for a moment, and then asked.

"You really... didn't come here to see Qing?"

"Nah."

Iwashita Shima shook his head.

"However, I still want to ask about Qing."

Iwashita Shima pulled his baseball cap down over his head.

What kind of work does Qing usually do here?

"...Eating free rice."

"Ichi Hoshika said."

"Oh, so you're just eating...eating free rice?!"

Iwashita Shima opened her eyes wide.

Ichi Seika smiled.

"Just kidding."

"... "

Iwashita Shima pursed her lips.

"Ichi Hoshika continued."

"It's just some odd jobs that blind people can do. At least that kid is good-looking, and he's selling a lot more drinks than before."

"...I see..."

Iwashita Shima nodded.

"And then there's ticketing and stuff... It seems like Hongxia and the others wanted to expand into a blind massage business, but it didn't come to fruition in the end... In short, they're just minor things."

"That…"

Iwashita Shima pursed her lips.

Do you pay him a salary?
