Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Ichi Nijika said helplessly."

"Hong, what is Hongxia planning to give?"

Goto Ichiri asked Ijichi Nijika.

"Hmm? As for me... I'd probably still be a plush toy, right?"

After thinking for a while, Ichi Nijika said.

"That's true, the shop manager really likes cute things."

Dahei Yin had already agreed.

"...Um, what should I give as a gift?"

Goto Ichiri had never gone out to pick out gifts with others like this before.

She can count the number of things she buys on two hands, let alone now that she's buying gifts for others.

The unease made her feel like countless eyes were watching her.

"If it's one mile... how about we send a massage device?"

After thinking for a while, Ichi Nijika said.

"Eh? Is this... okay?"

"After all, my sister had been saying that her shoulders were very sore, so I think this is a pretty good gift."

Ichi Nijika crossed her arms and nodded.

"After all, I'm getting on in years."

Dahei Yinyi laughed.

"Miss Pa... I might tell my sister."

Ichi Nijika looked at Okoro Otoko and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"It's alright, it's alright. I said the same thing to your face."

Dahei Yin shrugged.

"Ugh…"

Ichi Nijika sighed.

"Oh right, Kita, why haven't you said anything?"

Daikoku Oto looked at Kita Ikuyo and asked.

"Eh?"

Kita Ikuyo, who had been at the back of the line, suddenly looked up.

"Um... I..."

Kita Ikuyo blinked.

"I was thinking about something just now."

"Really? Kita isn't as lively as usual today. Is something wrong?"

Ichi Nijika stepped forward and offered her concern.

"Home? School? Or what?"

Yamada Ryo turned his head and asked.

Goto Ichiri also cast a worried look at her.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo was silent for a while, then finally smiled.

"It's alright."

"I have something to say."

Ichi Nijika is a little serious.

"Well... to be precise, it's not that something's wrong with me, but a friend of mine seems to be acting a little strange lately, so I'm a little worried."

"I see."

Ichi Nijika nodded.

Before anyone else could ask further questions, Kita Ikuyo spoke first.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Let's go pick out a gift!"

Kita Ikuyo walked to the front of everyone.

"I know a great place! I've bought gifts there before. Let's go check it out!"

"Ah... um!"

Goto Ichiri nodded quickly.

Then Ikuyo Kita followed.

The others exchanged glances and then followed.

I'll be updating five times tomorrow. If possible, I hope everyone will let their books sit for a while before updating (?_?).

Chapter 289 Birthday

"How is it? It looks alright, right?"

Dressed in Christmas attire, Ijichi Nigatsu asked Yamada Ryo beside her.

"good."

Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs up.

"Do I really have to dress like this?"

"Ichiri Goto, dressed in reindeer antlers and a reindeer costume, asked cautiously."

"Hmm? Ichiri doesn't want to wear this?"

"No, I don't want to!"

Goto Ichiri removed the deer antlers, then took out a chicken leg headgear from behind him and put it on.

"Phew... I feel so much more comfortable..."

She breathed a soft sigh of relief.

"Where did you buy that kind of thing, Xiao Yili? The mall we went to yesterday didn't sell it at all..."

Kita Ikuyo, who agreed to dress up in Christmas attire, said softly.

"Well... if Ichiri thinks this is better, that's fine too. After all, we have a performance later, and it's not good to be too nervous."

Ichi Nijika shook her head.

"Alright everyone, get ready and let's go on stage! It's a Christmas performance and also a birthday performance for my sister! Good luck!"

Ichi Nijika reached out her hand.

"Oh!"

Kita Ikuyo reached out her hand in agreement.

"oh oh…"

Goto Ichiri also reached out and touched her hand.

"... "

Yamada Ryo raised an eyebrow.

She actually thought it was a bit old-fashioned.

Never mind.

Yamada Ryo put his hand on hers.

...

……

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru leaned against the bar with her arms crossed.

His eyes would twitch from time to time; he was clearly daydreaming, but he gave off an impression of being restless.

"What's wrong? Are you thinking about something?"

Daheiyin asked aloud.

"...I guess so."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Is it related to that Englishman?"

Dahei Yin continued to ask.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"No, it's someone else..."

"...Okay...Alright."

Dahei Yin shrugged and didn't press the matter further.

"But they have a performance coming up soon, and they might feel disappointed if you do this."

"... "
