Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Yamada Ryo smiled, then turned and walked towards the cake.

"Wait a minute! It's not time to eat cake yet, Ryo-senpai!"

Kita Ikuyo forcefully pushed Yamada Ryo away from the cake.

He then walked up to Ichika Hoshika and presented her with the gift.

"This is my gift, store manager. Happy birthday, hehe, I'm wishing you a happy birthday twice."

"Skincare products?"

"Yes, I've personally used this and it's super useful, so I think it's perfect for a store manager."

Kita Ikuyo nodded, her eyes shining.

"... "

Are you implying that my skin is bad...?

I seem to be getting more and more concerned about what people around me think about me in this regard.

With mixed feelings, Ichiji Hoshika expressed her gratitude to Kita Iku and then put away the skincare products.

"... "

Yes, it's definitely time to use it.

"Ah, this is my gift, shopkeeper~ Happy birthday~"

Dahei Yin has already delivered a box.

"…What's this?"

"A health-preserving kettle."

"... "

"I was originally planning to give you juice, but after seeing this, I feel it's more suitable."

"…Ugh…"

Ichi Hoshika lowered her head.

"...Am I really getting old?"

"Are you only starting to have this question now?"

Dahei Yin tilted his head.

"!"

Ijichi Hoshika raised her head in displeasure, then glanced at Nekoyashiki Haru standing next to her.

"…clear…"

"Here, take this."

Nekoyashiki Haru delivered a flat box shaped like a long hair.

"…What's this?"

"It's definitely impossible for the drawing to look good... after all, I drew it in a hurry after waking up in the afternoon..."

"Hey!"

"But the sentiment is the same. Sister Xingge can wait until she gets home and has time to look at it. Let's not tear this place down."

"…I see."

Ichiji Hoshika carefully put the painting away.

"Can we eat now?"

Yamada Ryo asked impatiently.

"Okay, okay, you can eat now."

"Ichi Hoshika crossed her arms and said helplessly."

Yamada Ryo smiled, then began to reach for the plastic knife.

Snapped!

It was interrupted by Ijichi Nijika.

"I'll cut the cake."

"Ichi Nijika said in a somewhat forceful tone."

"Gu..."

Yamada Ryo tilted his head.

"It is indeed worrying to have Senior Ryo come."

Kita Yukiyo nodded in agreement.

"I feel like I'll eat the whole cake when no one's looking."

You have a very deep misunderstanding of me.

Yamada Ryo protested.

"I'll only eat half!"

"You can really eat a lot! Seriously, where did all your fat go?"

Ichi Nijika sighed.

"Speaking of which, I was just about to ask, what's with Pochi's outfit?"

Okoro Oto looked at Goto Ichiri and asked.

"No...isn't it good?!"

Goto Ichiri said nervously.

"It's not that it's bad, it's just that it feels kind of interesting, but as long as Pochi feels it's okay."

Dahei Yin stepped forward and patted the chicken leg headgear.

"Ah...should I offer this to you?"

"Haha, I'll never wear it in my life."

"... "

Ichi Seika quietly watched the scene before her.

"...Haa..."

Then he sighed softly.

Have I been overthinking things lately?

The unexpectedly heartwarming scene before her eyes reminded her of something.

"Ah, senior and manager, come quick!"

Kita Ikuyo waved to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Yeah, what are you and the kitten doing standing there?"

Niji Natsumi also said.

"Pretend to be cool."

Ryo Yamada commented on the two men's actions.

Goto Ichiri looked at the two of them and waited quietly.

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru took a step forward.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly, Ichiko Hoshika spoke up.

"You... haven't wished me well yet."

"No?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then nodded and said.

Happy birthday, Sister Xingge.

"…Um."

Ijichi Hoshika nodded silently, then walked towards the group with Nekoyashiki Haru.

Gentle, warm, cozy.

All the troubles and worries in my heart were suppressed at this moment.

Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.

Kita Ikuyo pursed her lips, took out her phone, and took a picture of everyone.

Looking down at the photos she had taken, Kita Ikuyo opened her mouth.

She felt that these were photos that shouldn't be posted on social media.

Just looking at it makes me happy... though maybe only for me...

No, there might be others who are the same...

Kita Ikuyo blinked.

Chapter 290 Disappearance

Folt's decorations are not like those of [Starry Sky].

Folt is actually still open for business today.

As she walked off the dark stage alone, Kikuri Hiroi's eyes trembled slightly.

Her performance just now wasn't particularly good, but it wasn't bad either; it was just average.
