Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"I didn't mean for you to comfort me."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"I want."

"Yamada Ryo said."

"Praise me."

"Yamada Ryo-sama is cute and strong, strong and cute, gentle and dazzling, and deserves to be worshipped by everyone in the world."

"I don't need everyone in the world."

"So, is it okay if I worship you?"

Are you trying to comfort me?

"They are praising you; every word is true."

"... "

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with a smile.

His golden pupils trembled slightly.

At this moment, what I feel in my heart is not happiness or excitement.

Rather, it's something soft and water-like...

"I feel like I'm starting to come up with something."

"Yamada Ryo said."

"...I didn't do anything, I just stayed with you."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said softly, as if worried that she hadn't done enough."

"That's enough, Cat."

Yamada Ryo grabs Nekaya Shikiharu.

"Come on, come home with me, and let's compose music together."

"It's good that you've got inspiration."

Nekoyashiki Haru followed in Yamada Ryo's footsteps.

"I'm actually quite worried that I can't give you inspiration."

"Then I will also find inspiration from trees, rivers, clouds, wind, or anything else."

Yamada Ryo didn't even turn his head.

"Then I'll be very unhappy..."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"why?"

Yamada Ryo was taken aback.

"Because I'm starting to resent Shu Jiangyunfeng; it's them, not me, who inspire you."

"...Are you jealous?"

Yamada Ryo said, somewhat stunned.

"Hmph... It's fine if Liang thinks that way too."

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"Now that things have come to this point, it's not fair that I'd develop a possessive desire for you, but it's about time."

"... "

Yamada Ryo took a deep breath.

Sometimes you're really annoying...

"what?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment.

"It's alright, let's go."

Yamada Ryo turned his head to hide the barely suppressed upturn at the corner of his mouth, even though the person behind him couldn't see it at all.

But it was still suppressed.

"it is good."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

...

……

.........

"What? The composition is finished?"

In the rehearsal room, looking at the smiling Yamada Ryo and Nekoyashiki Haru, Iji Chi Niji Natsu stared wide-eyed.

"I...I clearly didn't even write the first sentence..."

Goto Ichiri trembled like a leaf.

"It's just a rough prototype, and it will need further optimization, so don't panic."

"Nekoyashiki Haru" said, stroking Goto Ichiri who had fallen onto Nekoyashiki Haru's lap.

Like some kind of mollusk...

Yamada Ryo took out his phone and started playing a song.

"It feels like...a rather gentle melody..."

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

"Ugh... Is this our style?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

"I think so, absolutely."

Yamada Ryo nodded firmly and said.

"Hmm... if that's what Ryo says..."

Ichi Nijika lowered her head and thought for a while.

"As expected, everything is fine!"

"You're going to sing a gentle song... I can't wait!"

Kita Ikuyo laughed.

"Today with Kiku..."

Haruto Nekoyashiki was interrupted by Ikuyo Kita as soon as she opened her mouth.

"No problem! Kiku-sensei is amazing, all the little tricks she taught me are very useful!"

"Is she already Kiku-sensei...?"

"I can't believe it," said Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Is Kiku-senpai teaching Kita?"

Ichi Nijika opened her eyes wide.

"Yes! It was a senior who invited me!"

Kita Ikuyo walked up to Nekoyashiki Haru and said.

"Eh...I...did I have it?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ichiji Nijika asked.

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then her pupils contracted slightly.

I forgot…

I was originally planning to have Shima come; we ran into her today, so I could have just mentioned her! How could I have forgotten!

"kitten?"

"...Yes, there is...Shima should be able to teach you some...but I forgot to mention it today."

"I see..."

Ichi Nijika nodded calmly.

"I'll go find Shima tomorrow! No, I'll go find her in a little while..."

Nekoyashiki Haru said hurriedly.

"I'm not angry or upset. Honestly, the kitten is too nervous."

Ijichi Nigatsu got up and walked behind Nekoyashiki Haru.

"I'm not going to eat you, right?"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded quickly.

"...Why are you still acting so scared..."

Ichi Nijika narrowed her eyes.

"Alright, let's start practicing... Oh right, everyone's going out for a street performance tomorrow, good luck with the live show tonight too."

"Street...street performance..."

The trembling of Goto Ichiri on Nekoyashiki Haru's thigh intensified.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go with everyone, everyone's here."

Nekoyashiki Haru increased the speed at which she stroked Goto Ichiri.
