Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"...How about we eat at home tonight?"

"Ichi Nijika said helplessly."

"Doesn't that mean we have to wait until after soaking in the hot springs?"

Yamada Ryo tilted his head.

"The time to see the crabs has been extended again, sigh..."

"!!!"

Upon hearing the word "hot spring," Ichiji Nijika's body trembled violently.

Then he looked at Ooku Oni, who was also looking at him.

Then she looked at Nekoyashiki Haru, who was standing to the side, seemingly oblivious to the wind direction.

"... "

She let out a soft breath and then said.

"I... I wasn't actually planning to take a bath tonight."

"You want to have the crab all to yourself?"

"...Why would you think that? I just don't want to soak in the same place again. You guys can go."

"Ichi Nijika waved her hand and said."

"Ah~ Speaking of which, I'm actually not planning on taking a bath tonight~"

Daikoku Otoko said the same thing.

"Huh? Wouldn't it be a waste not to soak in the hot springs?"

Ichiji Hoshika looked at Daikoku Oni ​​and asked.

"Whether it's a loss or not... I still don't want this kind of thing to affect my freedom."

Dahei Yin shook his head.

"Manager, you're still going, right?"

"Oh? Oh, you're getting ready to go."

Ichiji Hoshika nodded.

Okoro Oto smiled and then looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"...Kikuri is going too, right?"

"!"

Hiroi Kikuri trembled.

"...I, I, I..."

"Are you going?"

Dahei Yin tilted his head and asked again.

"Yes...yes!"

Under pressure, Kikuri Hiroi nodded.

"Oh, I see. So it seems like only Xiao Hongxia and I aren't going?"

"I...I...I'm not going either..."

Goto Ichiri raised his hand tremblingly.

"Not even a short distance?"

Kita Ikuyo blinked.

"Then only Ryo-senpai and I will go to the end of the band's run."

Kita Ikuyo said, and Ooku Otoko narrowed his eyes.

Having gotten rid of the store manager and Kiku, as long as Haru doesn't go either, no one can stop me from doing what I want.

Ichiji Nijika looked over with her red eyes, and Ooku Otoko nodded slightly.

Liang, who lives with Xiao Hongxia, is not here either, and she seems to be fine.

"By the way, Qing, you shouldn't go either. Isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?"

At that moment, Okoro Otoko spoke to the stunned Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru turned around to face Okoro Otomi.

"I was actually planning to go, because I didn't soak for very long yesterday."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head and said.

"!"

Okoro's pupils contracted slightly.

Strange... Given Qing's personality, she shouldn't go, right?

Tsk, miscalculated... Well, it won't have a big impact.

It's the same even if you do it in the bathhouse...

"Ah..."

Ichi Nijika's face suddenly turned red.

She then looked at Daikoku Oni.

Daikoku Oto has not gone to see Ichi Niji Natsumi.

Your face is so red that it's already attracted other people's attention; if they go to look here, it will be too obvious.

"Ichichi-senpai, why is your face so red?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"Huh? Oh... that... Chinatown really lives up to its name! The air is filled with the smell of spice, haha... is it Mapo Tofu?"

“…Ijichi-senpai, you’re so over-the-top.”

Kita Ikuyo continued.

"...I'm fine, let's go eat."

Suppressing the possibilities that crossed her mind, Ichiji Nijika led the group toward the reserved Chinese restaurant.

...

……

.........

night.

hotel.

"You can only eat crab an hour after soaking in the hot spring..."

"Yamada Ryo said."

"...Senior Ryo really can't stop thinking about crabs..."

Kita Ikuyo sighed.

"Where did you get the money to eat king crab? Don't you usually eat grass?"

Ijichi Seika asked Yamada Ryo.

"secret."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

Ijichi Hoshika looked up at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"You borrowed it?"

Nekoyashiki Haru quickly shook her head.

"No."

It was given to me, so it doesn't need to be returned and therefore isn't a loan.

"...Don't lend her money, she's a deadbeat."

"Ichi Hoshika warned."

"It's not that cold..."

Nekoyashiki Haru spoke softly in defense of Yamada Ryo, but her own voice was a little weak.

I feel the rebuttal arguments are insufficient…

After the others entered the private bath, Nekoyashiki Haru also walked towards his own private bath.

But not long after he went in.

Yuyuko Otsuki, carrying a bath towel, slowly walked over from behind.

"Senior Haru is here today too..."

She also came to soak in the hot springs, having not used them at all yesterday... It's time to change her mood and perhaps return to her original purpose...

"It's better to leave like this..."

Yuyuko Otsuki told herself this, but when she passed the bathhouse she had entered yesterday, she paused slightly.

"... "

After hesitating for a moment, Otsuki Yuyuko pressed her ear against the glass door.

The rustling sounds inside made Ootsuki Yuuko's pupils shrink, her spirits lift, and her hand instinctively went to the doorknob.

"...No, no! Senior already has a lover, I can't go in and spy!"
