Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"We came here to make a wish before."

Kita Ikuyo said softly.

"...Pochi, is this the place we've come to?"

Ichi Nijika turned around and asked Goto Ichiri.

"... "

Goto Ichiri nodded slightly.

What are you doing here?

"I asked Yamada Ryo."

"...Do you remember the wish I made?"

Goto Ichiri asked softly.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo and Iji Tomoka blinked, unsure how to answer.

"I don't remember."

Yamada Ryo said bluntly.

"...Ichiri hopes to be braver in the future, right? That's what she told me back then."

Nekoyashiki Haru spoke up at this moment.

"…Um."

Goto Ichiri nodded vigorously.

Ichi Niji Natsumi was slightly taken aback, then looked at the upside-down rhinoceros beetle.

"...Did Nabochi's wish come true?"

Ichi Nijika asked Goto Ichiri.

"!"

Goto Ichiri trembled.

“...I...am standing here...not in the closet but right here...so, it's done.”

Goto Ichiri nodded.

"...What wishes did everyone make?"

"Eh?"

Kita Ikuyo was taken aback.

"I...I really want to know everyone's wishes...really...I really want to know."

Goto Ichiri clenched his fist.

"I don't know why... It's Valentine's Day... but I'm concerned about this kind of thing... But... I still want to know your wishes!"

Goto Ichiri raised her head, her blue eyes as clear as sapphires in the darkness.

"Can...you tell me?"

The group of people under the starry sky remained silent.

Goto Ichiri clutched his chest, awaiting an answer.

"...Is that so...? I thought it would be something else..."

Ichi Nijika shook her head.

"I lied back then."

"!"

Goto Ichiri's pupils contracted.

"When I said I was making a wish about the band... it was actually a more selfish thought..."

Ichi Nijika clenched her fist.

"[I hope the kitten won't leave again.]"

The blonde girl spoke first, then tilted her head and smiled.

"How about that... a pretty selfish idea, isn't it?"

"...I...I don't think so..."

Goto Ichiri slowly shook his head.

"...I don't think it's selfish..."

"Thank you, Pochi."

Her red eyes softly reflected Goto Ichiri's image.

"...So...did your wish come true?"

Goto Ichiri asked.

"It's come true! Didn't everyone witness the moment my wish came true?"

Ichi Nijika said, with her hands behind her back.

"I don't really believe it's because of God, but the way you put it makes it sound like God really granted my wish."

"No! The wish is... for us..."

Goto Ichiri corrected him.

My wish is... to become like my seniors.

Kita Ikuyo's voice suddenly rang out.

She remembered what she had said to Nekoyashiki Haru amidst the fireworks.

I want to be you.

"...I want to get closer, to understand more, to become, to merge...a slightly disgusting desire..."

Kita Ikuyo looked at Goto Ichiri and smiled.

"But perhaps... it's not just about my seniors... I'm really happy, no, I should say I'm blessed to have met everyone."

Kita Ikuyo took two steps forward and grabbed Goto Ichiri's hand.

"My wish has come true! I've become someone like everyone...like my seniors!"

“…Kita…”

Goto Ichiri's pupils trembled.

"So I'm very grateful to the gods... but you deserve even more gratitude!"

Kita Ikuyo gently hugged Goto Ichiri, then took a few steps back and said.

Yamada Ryo sighed.

It attracted the attention of others.

"...My initial wish was... [that everyone would walk together.]"

"!"

Ichi Nijika's pupils contracted slightly.

“At that time, the band had not been broken up for long... I liked you guys, I liked all of you.”

Yamada Ryo's lips curled up slightly.

"Our wish has come true, we are here."

Goto Ichiri was taken aback for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru, who had been silent all along.

The others also looked over.

"Senior... what was your wish?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"At that time? To restore your eyesight?"

Ichi Nijika speculated.

"Ending the band's skill improvement?"

"Yamada Ryo said softly."

"...What is Qing's wish...?"

Goto Ichiri took two steps forward.

"...Haru is a good girl, so...even if she says her wish out loud, it will come true! Just like the wishes we've already had, what is Haru's wish?! Even if it's a wish from the past, I want to help Haru fulfill it!"

Goto Ichiri swallowed hard.

"Can...you tell us?"

"...There's no need to trouble you."

Nekoyashiki Haru laughed, but the laughter subsided after a while.

"My wish has come true."

"...Huh?"

Goto Ichiri was slightly taken aback.

"I hope all their wishes come true."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said softly to herself."

"So, my wish has come true."
