Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked."

"No, you're not allowed to be picky."

"I'm wiping my mouth," Yamada Ryo said.

"We won't mind, but shouldn't we go out now?"

"…Can."

Yamada Ryo emerged from the tent.

Iwashita Shima stared wide-eyed at Yamada Ryo who had emerged from the darkness.

The next moment, Yamada Ryo's golden pupils suddenly contracted.

Then, Iwashita Shima saw Yamada Ryo crawl back into the tent through the entrance.

boom!

Nekoyashiki Haru was suddenly hit in the chest.

"Guha!"

The groans that emanated from the tent, seemingly out of instinct, made Iwashita Shima take two steps forward.

But then it stopped.

Haru Nekoyashiki felt the sudden impact on her chest and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong?"

He stroked Yamada Ryo's messy blue hair.

"...I've been in the tent for too long, and the sunlight outside is so bright..."

"That's what Yamada Ryo replied."

"By the way, did your mom let you stay here?"

Nekoyashiki Haru then asked.

"A little bit of sweet talk will solve the problem."

Yamada Ryo said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Your mom is actually pretty easy to handle..."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, then helped Yamada Ryo up and slowly turned her toward the tent entrance.

She covered Yamada Ryo's eyes with her hands and then flipped them upwards.

"Let's make the light a little dimmer this way."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo smiled and then opened the tent.

After a brief period of adjustment, Yamada Ryo and Nekoyashiki Haru stepped out of the tent.

Iwashita Shima stared at the two disheveled figures before her, her mouth slightly agape.

"What were you two doing inside the tent just now?"

After hesitating for a moment, she still asked.

"Reminiscing about the past."

Yamada Ryo nodded in response.

They then walked towards the villa in the distance.

"I'm going to take a shower..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and said.

Iwashita Shima looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"...You two have a really good relationship."

"Do I have a bad relationship with anyone?"

Nekoyashiki asked, tilting her head.

"No, I mean I seem to be a little different from other people."

Iwashita Shima organized her thoughts and said.

"That's definitely different."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"... "

Iwashita Shima clenched his fist.

then…

Then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

As expected... Kikuri's case was still full of misunderstandings.

After all, Haru seems to have an unusually close relationship with Yamada Ryo, looking more like lovers than Kiku and Haru do. Of course, they probably aren't actually lovers.

Are they more than friends? But less than lovers?

Iwashita Shima made this judgment.

If you can play and fool around together in a tent, then it must be at this level.

"... "

Thinking about it that way, it does feel a little strange.

Even if the relationship is very good...

Iwashita Shima stepped forward and helped Nekoyashiki Haru straighten her collar.

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

"fine."

After finishing tidying up, Iwashita Shima shrugged and said.

Even if you have a good relationship, you shouldn't mess up your collar.

"finished Wash."

Ryo Yamada walked out of the villa.

"So fast? We were just wondering whether we should go in and sit down first."

"Nekoyashiki Haru" exclaimed in surprise.

"I just rinsed it off quickly, and besides, I don't have long hair like Hongxia, so it dried very quickly."

Yamada Ryo stopped in front of Nekoyashiki Haru, then looked at Iwashita Shima beside him.

"... "

Yamada Ryo blinked.

"?"

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Iwashita Shima slightly raised her hand.

"Hi?"

"... "

Yamada Ryo remained silent. Just as Iwashita Shima was feeling a little awkward, Yamada Ryo slowly bowed.

"Thank you for bringing the cat here. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"Eh?"

Iwashita Shima's hand froze.

Is this child really such a polite person?

She looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

Then they saw that Nekoyashiki Haru was completely dumbfounded.

"... "

Okay, it seems like that's not usually the case.

Yamada Ryo glanced at Nekoyashiki Haru beside him and reached out to smooth his face.

Then he spoke again to Iwashita Shima.

"Well then, we'll take our leave here. Cat-kun and I have other places to go."

"what?"

Before Iwashita Shima could react, she saw Yamada Ryo dragging Nekoyashiki Haru toward the gate.

"Wait...slow down...Shima! Thank you for today, you can go home now!"

"I'm being pulled along," Nekoyashiki Haru said hurriedly.

"... "

Iwashita Shima stood there, stunned.

She waited until the two disappeared behind the gate before she spoke softly.

"Yes…"
