Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"What...you mean that...?"

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't react.

Ijichi Seika patted Nekoyashiki Haru's straight back.

"You've worked hard, you should have just said what you were thinking."

"what?"

"Be careful on the night shift. Call me if you need me to pick you up."

"...No need for that."

"I know."

Ichiji Hoshika nodded.

"After all, you've always been the child who thinks of us."

"???"

Nekoyashiki Haru's brows slowly furrowed.

She's definitely misunderstood something!

"Wait, Sister Xingge, you..."

“You don’t need to say anything, I understand. You’ve reached the age where you want to support your family. You’re a grown-up now.”

"what?"

Support...support the family...?

Does Sister Xingge already know?! She didn't misunderstand?!

Anyway, keep it up.

Ichi Seika's expression grew increasingly gratified.

Nekoyashiki Haru's expression grew increasingly terrified.

The next moment, the band members walked out of the studio.

The strange atmosphere between the two was then broken.

I'm sorry I was a bit busy today and not feeling well.

I'm taking a break today, so there will only be two updates. I'll continue with 4-5 updates tomorrow.

terribly sorry…

Chapter 227 Where to Go

"This is the demo we're sending for review..."

Ichiji Nijika waved the file bag in her hand, then, as if waiting for something, she held the bag without saying a word.

Is there a problem?

Kita Ikuyo asked in confusion.

Go ahead and throw it.

Yamada Ryo tilted his head.

"... "

Goto Ichiri simply watched without saying a word.

"Aren't you all excited?"

Ichi Nijika's gaze swept over the three of them.

"This needs to be sent over for review!"

"Even if you say that, Ijichi-senpai, getting agitated doesn't seem to help..."

Kita Ikuyo smiled.

"So you can put it in."

"Ugh..."

Ichi Nijika let out a low sob and dropped the file bag into the mailbox.

"Sigh... I was so excited, but you guys were all so calm that it didn't feel like it was a big deal to me..."

Ichi Niji patted Yamada Ryo on the back. Without a word, Yamada Ryo walked forward, and the others followed.

"But now we can take a break for a while. Everyone has been very tired lately."

"Ichi Nijika said as she walked."

"It is indeed tiring, but because our seniors have been with us the whole time, even though they are more troublesome than anyone else, they still took good care of our logistics, so I feel it's okay!"

Kita Ikuyo laughed.

"...I still haven't finished the bottled water Qing gave me last time. I keep it in my room and use a dropper to give myself a little water when I drink other things..."

Goto Ichiri's pink hair obscured her eyes as she spoke in a sinister tone.

"Drink it! No! Throw it away!"

"Ichi Nijika said in horror."

Where to go for fun?

Yamada Ryo suddenly asked.

"Hmm? I haven't decided yet... Is there anywhere Ryo wants to go?"

Nijika Ichika leaned closer and asked.

"Expensive places."

Yamada Ryo nodded and said.

"...Have you become even more greedy than before?"

"Ichi Nijika said with a crestfallen face."

"No, it's just a rehearsal for a future life of luxury."

Yamada Ryo crossed his arms, looking triumphant.

"...You're clearly the child of a wealthy family...but your words and actions always seem to jump between being poor and nouveau riche...and what do you mean by a future life of luxury?"

Yamada Ryo did not answer, but chuckled softly.

Ichi Nijika glanced at Yamada Ryo's smug expression, while her own expression slowly froze into a simple sketch.

"Ah, how about we go to a place where we can ski?"

Kita Ikuyo leaned closer with her phone in hand and said.

"Huh? Kita, can you do that?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked with delight."

No way.

Kita Ikuyo smiled and shook her head.

"Was it very troublesome to learn in the past?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked."

Why should we learn it?

Kita Ikuyo smiled and tilted her head.

"...Don't you ski?"

Why do we need to ski?

"...So you're just going to ride the cable car?"

"Please sit down."

Kita Yuyo nodded, and Ichiji Niji Natsu breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, renting ski equipment seems quite expensive..."

Kita Ikuyo continued, talking to herself.

"Don't you not ski?"

"But you have to take pictures! Look, look, so many of my friends went, and their pictures are all so beautiful!"

Kita Ikuyo excitedly showed her phone to Iji Chi Niji Natsumi.

After a moment of silence, Ichika Nijika pushed Kita Ikuyo's phone back to her.

"...If it's just about taking photos, I'll ask Ms. PA to Photoshop your face onto the faces of the skiers on the slopes..."

"That kind of behavior is really lame."

Kita Ikuyo said in a serious tone.

"Of course I know!"

"Ichika Nijika said helplessly, then sighed and forced a smile as she looked at Goto Ichiri.

"Where...where does Poch want to go?"

"Ah... ideally, it would be a place with plenty of hiding spots... where people won't run into each other, and where there are escape routes in case of an emergency..."

Goto Ichiri said.

"...The city's sewers beneath our feet seem to fit your requirements quite well..."

Nijika Ichi pointed to her feet expressionlessly and said.
