Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Sasaki's second son's expression became one of surprise and uncertainty.

"However... it does seem like a good idea. Failure once doesn't mean it will fail again. After all, it's not a cartoon... and I haven't really used the key I made..."

"Key...key? What key?"

Sasaki's second son swallowed hard.

"It's nothing."

Kita Ikuyo smiled and shook her head.

"...I feel like you've changed so much I don't even recognize you anymore..."

Sasaki's second son leaned back slightly.

"Does being in a relationship help you grow?"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up.

"...Whatever makes you happy..."

Before Sasaki's second son could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of a figure appearing at the table out of the corner of his eye.

"?"

Sasaki's second son was slightly taken aback.

Kita Ikuyo also followed Sasaki's second son's gaze.

A chestnut-brown twin-tailed girl stood calmly, her signature little hat making Kita Ikuyo's eyes widen.

"...Excuse me, who are you?"

Sasaki's second son asked cautiously.

“...I’ve come to find Kita Ikuyo.”

Yuyuko Otsuki looked at Ikuyo Kita and said.

"... "

Sasaki's second son blinked, then looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"It's alright, it's alright. He's a senior member of the band. Xiao Zuo can go first, it's on me today."

Kita Ikuyo said with a smile.

"…good…"

Sasaki's second son nodded, then got up and walked out of the dessert shop.

"... "

Yuyuko Otsuki watched Sasaki's second son's retreating figure, then turned to look at Kita Ikuyo.

Let's talk.

"Ah."

Kita Yukiyo nodded, raising her teacup in the process.

Strange... Why would Ms. Otsuki come to see me?

You've made it so clear... but you still haven't given up?

crunch~

Yuyuko Otsuki sat down in the chair opposite Ikuyo Kita.

"...Let me make it clear beforehand that I didn't come here specifically to find you today. It was just a coincidence. Although I did want to find you, I was planning to go to [Starry Sky] to find you later."

"...Uh...I see..."

Kita Yukiyo slowly nodded.

Yuyuko Otsuki took a deep breath and then spoke slowly.

"It may be a little offensive to ask... How's your relationship with Haru-senpai lately?"

"...?"

Kita Ikuyo frowned.

"...This question is really offensive. I told you, we won't break up."

"...I know you said that, but it might not be that absolute..."

boom!

Kita Ikuyo slammed the black tea down on the table.

"Ms. Otsuki, just say what you want to say. I don't really want to hear you say something like a riddle."

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki pursed her lips, her pink pupils narrowing slightly as she looked at Kita Ikuyo, who was serious yet annoyed, and sighed softly in her heart.

You clearly like him so much... but he...

The lead guitarist in the band had his boyfriend stolen by the drummer... While this kind of thing is commonplace in the industry, it's still something you shouldn't have to deal with at your age.

"…Ugh…"

Yuuko Otsuki let out a long sigh.

"...I really...feel a little sorry for you..."

"...?"

Kita Ikuyo's annoyed and serious expression slowly disappeared, and then she slowly tilted her head.

What nonsense is she spouting? Is she so devastated by the breakup that she's lost her mind?

Chapter 344 It Has Nothing to Do With You

"Ms. Otsuki had better explain clearly, otherwise if I misunderstand, my impression of Ms. Otsuki might be distorted."

Kita Ikuyo continued.

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki tilted her head slightly.

"...I just wanted to say that things might not be as wonderful as they seem..."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo's brows furrowed even deeper.

"You may feel happy with your life with him right now... but beneath the surface, the filth simmering beneath is as foul as a stinking swamp..."

Yuuko Otsuki said with a pained look in her eyes.

"Uh…"

Kita Ikuyo glanced at the black tea on the table, and her lips twitched.

"...Could you please refrain from using such metaphors when eating...?"

No, I want to say it.

"It's serious," said Yuyuko Otsuki.

“Kita Ikuyo… I’m not your enemy. It’s not too late. Break up with Haru-senpai now.”

"…ha?"

Kita Ikuyo's pupils contracted slightly.

"...I said, let's break up..."

"I understand, you don't need to repeat it."

Kita Yukiyo propped her cheek up with one hand.

"why?"

"...Because you won't be happy with him...you...you have no idea what he's really like...that kind of person..."

"Otsuki Yuuko said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"you know?"

Kita Ikuyo asked, frowning.

"…I…"

Yuuko Otsuki was stunned.

"If you know, please tell me! Tell 'my senior' what it's like!"

He emphasized the pronunciation of the four characters, and Kita Yuyo straightened his upper body.

Otsuki Yuuko's pupils contracted, and after a long while, she whispered.

"...I can't say..."

Why can't I say?

Kita Ikuyo squinted her eyes.

"...The best choice for everyone is to remain silent..."

"...Incomprehensible."

Kita Ikuyo stood up and walked to the front of the stage.

Yuuko Otsuki was taken aback, then quickly followed.

"Hello, table number 12, please pay the bill."

Kita Ikuyo said.

"Okay, let me calculate it for you. It will cost 4300 yen in total."

The saleswoman behind the counter said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, Kita Ikuyo, listen to me..."
