Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Ever since she was treated roughly last time, Sato Aiko has labeled Nekoyashiki Haru with this label.

Nekoyashiki Haru's eyes narrowed slightly.

Using the echoes to confirm the approximate terrain, Hiroi Kikuri in the distance stood out like a purple torch.

Sato Aiko instinctively wanted to leave, but Hiroi Kikuri grabbed her arm.

"Ah... I can do the interview..."

Hiroi Kikuri lowered her head shyly.

"?!"

Sato Aiko opened her eyes wide.

You're not in cahoots with that guy, are you?

Nekoyashiki Haru stopped in her tracks.

"Poisonous Darkness, we meet again."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a smile.

"Gu..."

Sato Aiko pursed her lips, then forced herself to smile.

"...Hello...

"What did I say last time?"

Nekoyashiki Haru squinted her eyes.

"If you get any closer to them..."

"Wait, wait, wait! I was just passing by! I didn't mean to!"

Sato Aiko quickly explained.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head, clearly not quite believing Sato Aiko's words.

"...You just squeezed to the front."

Hiroi Kikuri, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"?!"

Sato Aiko's eyes widened.

They really are in cahoots!

"I...I just thought their performance was pretty good...better than last time...that's why I gave them a tip..."

Sato Aiko explained weakly.

"I really was just passing by at first, believe me!"

Sato Aiko emphasized it again.

Hiroi Kikuri looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head, her eyes "staring" at the twin-tailed woman in front of her.

"... "

Sato Aiko nervously rubbed her arms.

This guy's gaze is so sharp...

Sato Aiko, unaware that Nekoyashiki Haru was blind, thought to herself.

"...I'll assume for now that you were just passing by..."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"call…"

Sato Aiko breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well... I'll be going now! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Sato Aiko turned around and prepared to run away.

"You wait."

Nekoyashiki Haru called out to Sato Aiko.

Sato Aiko stiffened, then slowly turned to look at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Is there anything else?"

"How about it?"

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"Eh?"

Sato Aiko opened her eyes wide.

"What...how is it?"

I'm talking about them.

Nekoyashiki Haru pointed behind her.

"I...I already said nothing, okay..."

Sato Aiko whispered.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent.

"... "

Just as Sato Aiko decided to abandon one of her arms or legs to escape, Nekoyashiki Haru turned around.

“I’m looking forward to your next evaluation of them, writer.”

"what?"

Sato Aiko was suddenly taken aback.

Hiroi Kikuri, who was standing next to her, quickly followed Nekoyashiki Haru.

Then he walked in front of Nekoyashiki Haru, using himself as a landmark to guide Nekoyashiki Haru's steps.

"...What about the next evaluation...?"

Sato Aiko frowned.

Then his gaze drifted to the band that had just finished their performance, which was surrounded by a crowd.

"... "

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Okay... you're still pretty serious."

After saying that, Sato Aiko left.

...

……

.........

"Ugh... I'm so tired..."

On the chair in the "Starry Night" room, Ichiji Nijika let out a long sigh of relief.

"Street performers, you've worked hard."

"Ichika said while drinking her juice."

"By the way, Hiroi, was it you who helped deliver the drum set today? Thanks."

Ichiji Hoshika thanked her.

"...Ah...yes, thank you for the compliment, senior..."

Kikuto Hiroi lowered her head and then spoke in an even lower voice.

Okoro Otoko looked up at Hiroi Kikuri, covered her mouth with her sleeve, and laughed.

"Really? Aren't you much cuter like this?"

Ijichi Seika nodded in satisfaction and patted Hiroi Kikuri on the shoulder.

"Don't drink it again in the future."

"No...no, that won't happen."

Hiroi Kikuri shrank back and nodded.

"Cat, that poisonous creature Darkness has arrived today."

Yamada Ryo walked up to Nekoyashiki Haru and whispered.

"Ok, I know."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then walked toward Kita Ikuyo, who was counting the money.

"Yu Dai, give me 3%."

"If Senior Liang is dreaming, he can go to Xiao Yili's coffin."

Kita Ikuyo laughed.

"Ugh... Yudai, you weren't like this before..."

Yamada Ryo pretended to wipe away tears.
