Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ichi Hoshika narrowed her eyes.

"So you spent the whole night with her last night?"

"I guess so? What's wrong?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"…fine…"

I even saved a piece of cake for you... It's still in my fridge.

I thought you'd come back last night... I stayed at Fanxing for a while...

"By the way, has Sister Xingge seen my painting?"

Nekoyashiki suddenly asked.

"I haven't dismantled it yet..."

"Ichi Hoshika replied."

"I see..."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled and said nothing more.

"...Are there more and more colors in your eyes...No, not just more and more, some of the colors are even getting bigger?"

Suddenly, Ichiji Hoshika frowned and asked.

"Is that right?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

"...To be honest...it looks a little dirty."

Ichiji Hoshika answered.

"...Sister Xingge, it's not dirty at all..."

Nekoyashiki Haru closed her eyes and shook her head.

"I think it's very clean and beautiful."

"You can't see it anyway..."

"...In short, it's very beautiful."

Nekoyashiki Haru said in a slightly lowered voice.

"... "

Ichi Seika pursed her lips.

Did I say something that upset him?

Chapter 300: The Labor

Yuyuko Otsuki now stakes out the restaurant every night.

Yesterday, for some reason, Haru-senpai didn't show up. Since she was already there, Otsuki Yuyuko decided to try the food at this restaurant again.

Chocolate and pork belly pan-fried dumplings.

Surprisingly, it doesn't taste that bad?

The girl with pigtails rested her chin on her hands, waiting on a bench opposite the shop entrance.

Will Haru-senpai come today...? It seems like the only chance to see Haru-senpai these days is in the evenings at the restaurant...

As for letting her approach him herself... Otsuki Yuyuko wouldn't dare without a suitable excuse.

Speaking of which, Haru-senpai's album has already been released...

Take out the black album from the bag. The Poison Cat logo is the cover, and there is no other design.

It's selling really well, I almost missed out... So, will Senior Qing stop coming here now that she's made money?

That seems quite possible... Does that mean I won't be able to see Senior Haru?

So... is he really going to spend a few more days mentally preparing himself before going straight to see Senior Haru?

"Ugh... Shima-senpai hasn't been coming lately either..."

Does she seem to be in a bad mood?

"Ok?"

The ahoge (cowlick) hidden under her hat trembled slightly, and Ootsuki Yuuko raised her head.

The figure that appeared in the distance was none other than Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Senior Haru... huh?"

Beside the boy, a tall figure with long black hair yawned.

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki squinted her eyes.

Who is that?

Are you very sleepy?

Nekoyashiki asked the big black voice next to her.

"Ah~ a little bit, I got up too early today."

Dahei Yinyi smiled and shook his head.

"Speaking of which, was it even necessary to come? Your album has already been released."

"You can never have too much money, and I'm pretty much used to it anyway."

Nekoyashiki Haru shrugged.

"Isn't it a bad idea to just stay home and do nothing all the time?"

"uh-huh…"

Daikoku Oto nodded, and was about to say something when she caught sight of a chestnut-colored twin-tailed girl in the distance out of the corner of her eye.

Yuyuko Otsuki was walking towards the two of them.

"... "

Daikoku Otoko turned her head and looked at Nekoya Shikiharu.

Then she turned to look at Otsuki Yuyuko.

When Ootsuki Yuuko got closer, Ooku Otomi finally spoke and asked.

"I remember you were... the lead singer of [DEROS]?"

"Yuyuko?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

"I remember you too...you, you're that..."

Yuuko Otsuki's face slowly turned red.

"Who are you again?"

"... "

Dahei Yin narrowed his eyes.

"She's Ms. PA from [Starry Night], right, Yuyuko?"

Nekoyashiki Haru spoke up.

"Oh, I remember now..."

Yuuko Otsuki's memories slowly resurface.

"Speaking of which... is Haru-senpai always brought here by Ms. PA? I never noticed before..."

"Yes."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"...It won't be too much trouble..."

Yuuko Otsuki spoke with a hidden agenda, but was interrupted by Ookuro Otomi the next moment.

"It won't be too much trouble."

Okoro Oto hugged Nekoyashiki Haru from behind, then smiled and continued talking to Otsuki Yuuko.

"We have a super great working relationship."

"A colleague?"

Yuuko Otsuki opened her eyes wide.

"Actually, it's a closer relationship."

Nekoyashiki explained.

"More...intimate?"

Yuyuko Otsuki blinked.

Her cheeks then quickly turned red.

Could it be that it's already...?

"They're super close colleagues!"

Before Ootsuki Yuuko could voice her guess, Ooku Oto spoke again.

"Otoko... there's really no need for that..."

"Don't talk!"

Daikoku Oto covered Nekoyashiki Haru's mouth.
