Lonely Rock for the Blind.

After all, I've already had a great day.

Next, he needs to prepare for his birthday.

Walking back from the internet cafe to [Starry Sky], Okoro Otoko suddenly grabbed Nekoyashiki Haru's hand.

"By the way, I don't think I've ever been to your house."

"Eh?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned for a moment.

Then his pupils contracted.

What...what do you mean? Are you planning to finish it today?

I didn't take any safety precautions...

"Take me to your house."

Daikoku Oto continued to ask with a smile.

"Isn't it working hours now?"

Nekoyashiki Haru continued to ask.

"It's alright, the store manager can manage on his own."

Daikoku Otoko pulled Nekoyashiki Haru towards his house.

"let's go."

Are you hiding something from me?

Sensing something was wrong, Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"Why don't you come over and find out?"

Daikoku Otoko pulled Nekoyashiki Haru onto the elevator.

Ding.

The elevator stopped, and the doors slowly opened.

Dahei Yin had already pulled the boy towards her apartment.

"Alright, we're here. Open the door."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru hesitated for a moment, then took out the newly made key and inserted it into the lock.

Click...

The door was opened.

Happy Birthday! ×7

"Wang Wang!"

"!"

Cat Houser was taken aback by the sudden blessing and stood there stunned for a moment.

Then, helplessly, he turned to face Dahei Yinsi.

Happy birthday, Sunny.

Dahei Yinyi chuckled softly.

"... "

Click...

...

……

.........

"How was it? Were you pleasantly surprised?"

Niji Natsumi asked Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Yes, it was a pleasant surprise."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said, stroking the four corners of her head."

"Actually, there was a little bit of a shock, right?"

Yamada Ryo laughed.

"Well, if you're going to say there are any, then yes, there are."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded in agreement.

"Actually, it's already pretty good, senior. Originally, Ichiri brought a whole bundle of firecrackers, but Ichiri-senpai packed them up for you because of your sensitive ears."

Kita Ikuyo said helplessly.

"...I'm...I'm sorry..."

"Ichiri Goto said softly, huddled in a corner of the crowd."

"Actually, the cannon salute was alright. Poch was originally planning to hang a banner on the apartment building, even though you couldn't see it."

Ryo Yamada then added.

"Then, after we said that, Poch pulled out the megaphone again..."

"Ichi Nijika said helplessly."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"That's how it was last time, Ichiri..."

"...I think Qing's birthday should be celebrated in a more grand way."

Goto Ichiri said weakly.

Nekoyashiki Haru stretched out her other hand.

Goto Ichiri scurried up to Nekoyashiki Haru's feet.

Nekoyashiki Haru gently stroked it.

"It would be best if you were willing to do it for me. Actually, I don't really like that kind of grand ceremony."

"I...I understand!"

Goto Ichiri shouted loudly.

"I bought the cake."

Iwashita Shima's voice rang out.

Nekoyashiki Haru faced Iwashita Shima.

"Thank you, Shima, here's the money."

"It's not necessary."

Iwashita Shima shook his head.

"Can we have cake now? I'm hungry."

Yamada Ryo wiped the drool from his mouth.

"But the candles haven't been blown out yet, so we can't eat them."

Ichi Nijika tapped Yamada Ryo on the head.

"What about the others..."

"You're not allowed to eat the cake if it's not opened."

"Oh."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and said.

"Cat, blow it quickly."

"You rascal..."

Ijichi Nijika's hand, which was tapping Yamada Ryo's, became weak.

Yuuko Otsuki and Kikuri Hiroi brought over a cake and presented it to Haru Nekoyashiki.

"Alright, Senior Haru, go ahead and blow it."

“…Xiao Qing…”

"I see."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, then took a deep breath and blew out the candle.

bang bang bang bang bang...

Applause erupted simultaneously.

Congratulations on turning 18!

"Ichi Nijika shouted."

"You're already an adult."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then turned to look for a plastic knife to cut the cake.

"In reality, you still can't touch tobacco or alcohol."

Shima Iwashita reminded.

"But it's too late to say all this now."

Iwashita Shima looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"...I'm...I'm sorry..."

Hiroi Kikuri's hands were tangled together.
