Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"what happened?"

Goto Ichiri was puzzled.

“You carry me up, and then I’ll pull you up.”

"okay."

Yamada Ryo climbed onto Goto Ichiri's back and then raised his hands high.

"Pochi...almost there..."

"yes…

Goto Ichiri tried to stand on tiptoe, and Yamada Ryo's hand touched the edge of the wall.

With a flash of golden light, Yamada Ryo stretched out his hand.

Snapped!

Caught!

Yamada Ryo laughed.

"Is...is it done, Ryo-kun?"

Goto Ichiri beneath him was starting to give out.

"I…"

Yamada Ryo was about to say it was a success, but his expression suddenly vanished.

That being said... I just grabbed the edge of the wall, I didn't actually climb up...

"... "

"Is it... all done?"

Goto Ichiri asked.

"…soon…"

Yamada Ryo put in a lot of effort.

Hurry! Arms! Put your strength in!

That's what you should do!

Splash...

Because I used too much force, my hand was slippery and rejected by the dust on the edge of the wall…

"... "

Yamada Ryo gave a relieved smile, then fell backward.

"Ahhh! Ryo-kun?!"

Goto Ichiri's steps were unsteady, and she struggled to maintain her balance while carrying the swaying Yamada Ryo.

pity…

boom…

Goto Ichiri fell to the ground beside her, while Yamada Ryo fell on top of her.

"...Are you alright, Pochi?"

Looking at the starry sky, Yamada Ryo asked Goto Ichiri beneath him.

"fine…"

Goto Ichiri answered.

"Really, why haven't you two come up yet?"

Kita Ikuyo, who had already entered the campus, climbed back up the wall and complained, but then saw that the two of them had fallen to the ground.

"...Why are you lying on the ground?"

"...It's cool on the ground."

"Yamada Ryo said."

"I... I like sleeping on the floor..."

Goto Ichiri said.

"...Sigh...Alright, hurry up, or we won't be able to follow Senpai and Ijichi-senpai!"

Kita Ikuyo extended her hand to the two of them.

"Thank you, Yudai."

"Thank you…"

"...Your gratitude is so sincere that it makes me a little embarrassed..."

...

……

.........

At the corner of the stairs, Ichiji Nijika peeked out.

"Hmm... no one's here. Looks like they've already gone to the North Building."

Ijichi Nigatsu smiled and pulled Nekoyashiki Haru along.

"Let's go. Do you remember which class you're in?"

Class 3.

Haru Nekoyashiki answered.

"Yes, I was in Class 4 back then."

Ichi Niji Natsumi led Nekoyashiki Haru up the stairs.

On the third floor, the two stopped.

"I remember this is the place."

Ichi Niji Natsumi pulled Nekoyashiki Haru towards their classroom.

"The door should be closed."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"... "

Ichi Nijika looked away, then took out a wire from her pocket.

"Yes...it's open."

She first said this to Nekoyashiki Haru, then reached out and pried open the door lock.

All the hard work each night put in, the understanding of locks, and the practice of techniques all pay off at this moment.

Haha... If this becomes popular in the future... I can tell stories of lock picking as a rock and roll feat.

"Alright, come in."

Ichichi Hongka pulled Nekaya Shikiharu into the classroom.

Is this... your classroom?

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"Well... but you could say it's our classroom now."

Compared to before, everything from the arrangement of tables and chairs to the things pasted on the walls is different now.

"...It really does feel a bit like something I've seen before."

Ichi Nijika let out a soft breath.

"I always feel particularly peaceful here."

Nekoyashiki Haru closed her eyes and felt it.

Suddenly, Ichi Nijika started counting.

"1, 2, 3..."

"what happened?"

"I was trying to remember where I used to be... but now that the tables and chairs have all changed, it seems like I can't find my old spot anymore."

Ichi Nijika shook her head helplessly.

"How about we go check on your classroom first?"

Ichi Nijika took out a wire and said.

"…No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"why?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

"Because apart from you, there's nothing else in this school that left a particularly deep impression on me or that I want to remember."

Nekoyashiki Haru hugs Ijichi Hongka.

"So it's fine to stay here with Hongxia."

"... "

Ichi Nijika's cheeks slowly warmed up.

"...I...don't dislike that way of putting it..."

Ichi Nijika nodded.

"...Speaking of which, Qing."
