Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Wow! Hurry up and bring my grandson up! I can't wait!

"Ahem... What's Nekoyashiki-kun's educational background?"

Goto Michiyo then asked.

"...Haha..."

Nekoyashiki Haru's lips twitched a few times.

“…Um…this…I…I didn’t attend high school for more than a few days in my first year of high school.”

"Huh?! Nekoyashiki-kun dropped out of school?"

"Yes, because of the accident that happened to my eye, I dropped out of school at that time."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Ara..."

Michiyo Goto touched her cheek.

He's such a poor child... He must have some kind of inner trauma...

Michiyo Goto looked at Ichiri Goto behind her, who was now frozen like a quail.

Is Ichiri even capable of being taken care of...? No, it feels like Nekoyashiki-kun is completely taking care of Ichiri...

Won't it take up too much of their time...?

No, no, no, how could I think that!

Michiyo Goto shook her head vigorously.

This might be the key to your entire life! If you give it up...

"Yili! Yili, I'm not forcing you to go out to work anymore, come out now!"

【...】

[It was my fault for making you go on blind dates, Ichiri, but you're already forty! You can't stay at home all the time!]

【...】

[The kids from Yili are coming tomorrow, so please don't make too much noise...]

[(Intense guitar sound)]

Has he completely lost his ability to speak and become a guitar freak who can only express himself through the guitar...? Why did he become like this, Ichiri...?

Who knows, this might be the future!

Michiyo Goto snapped out of her reverie and suddenly grabbed Haru Nekoyashiki's hand.

"Nekoyashiki-kun... no, that's not right! I'll call you Haru!"

"…yes?"

"Why don't you take Yili with you?"

"?"×2

Nekoyashiki Haru and Goto Ichiri both showed puzzled expressions.

"No, no, I misspoke, cough cough, I just meant that you two should have a good relationship!"

"I can do it without you telling me."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded affirmatively.

"What a good child..."

Michiyo Goto shook her head, then revealed a sinister look in her eyes.

So... don't blame me for being despicable... after all, it's all for the children.

"Actually... I don't have much time left to live..."

"Eh?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"Eh?!"

Goto Ichiri's eyes widened.

"what?!"

Naoki Goto, standing outside the door, also gaped open.

"Xiao Qing, you're a good child. Even though we only chatted for a short while, I've always considered you my son!"

"...Isn't this too fast?"

"Not fast! Not fast at all!"

Michiyo Goto shook her head vigorously.

There's an old Chinese saying: "Those who understand the times are pragmatic..." No, it's more like "It's a pity we didn't meet sooner!" That's what I felt when I first met you, and it's only gotten stronger as we've been chatting!

The door opened, and Naoki Goto walked in.

"What on earth are they talking about..."

"Honey, could you please leave first and not come in?"

Michiyo Goto smiled and looked at Naoki Goto.

The door closed, and Goto Naoki went out.

Goto Michiyo continued to gaze at Nekoyashiki Haru with a fervent look.

"Xiao Qing, you just called me Auntie, right?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Haha! Then please, I beg you, fulfill your aunt's last wish! After all, she won't live much longer! I just want to see Yili find her place..."

Before Goto Michiyo could finish speaking, Goto Ichiri pounced on her from behind and knocked her down.

"Qing...Qing, run! Mom has gone mad!"

"what?"

Haru Nekoyashiki felt really lost today.

"Alright, stop hesitating and get out of here! I can't keep Mom in check for much longer!!!"

This was the first time Goto Ichiri had spoken to Nekoyashiki Haru with a commanding tone.

"!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Nekoyashiki Haru instinctively stepped outside.

"Hey! You stupid girl! I'm doing this all for your own good! Let me go right now!"

"No way! Being with Qing is my business! I don't want Mom to coerce Qing like this!"

Goto Ichiri closed his eyes and pressed down hard on Goto Michiyo.

"... "

Michiyo Goto blinked.

Then the body relaxed.

That's an unexpected but actually plausible explanation...

Chapter 279 Goto Naoki

"Hello…"

After leaving Goto Ichiri's room, Nekoyashiki Haru sat down on the sofa on the first floor.

"…Hello."

On the other side of the sofa, Goto Naoki, with his arms crossed, nodded.

"... "

"... "

The air seemed to freeze for no apparent reason.

Nekoyashiki Haru turned her head and scratched her face.

Why isn't Yili coming down yet...?

Naoki Goto slapped his thigh.

Why aren't you coming down yet, honey...?

"... "

"... "

The two remained silent.

After a while, Goto Naoki looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"…you…"

"!"

Haru Nekoyashiki paused for a moment upon hearing the voice, then immediately turned to face Naoki Goto, looking as if she wanted to listen carefully.

"... "

Seeing that the other party's attitude was quite proper, Goto Naoki suddenly didn't know what to say.

"...cough cough..."

He coughed softly.

"I heard...you and my daughter formed a band?"

"Actually, I haven't joined yet, but I am indeed preparing to join."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."
