Lonely Rock for the Blind.

……

.........

"Captain, captain!"

The girl wearing a mask shook Otsuki Yuuko awake, who was lying on the table.

"…What's wrong?"

Yuuko Otsuki looked up, and her extremely noticeable dark circles under her eyes stunned the rest of the band.

"...Captain, you just fell asleep..."

The girl wearing a mask continued.

"...Asleep? Oh...really? I didn't even realize..."

Yuuko Otsuki stood up and scratched her head.

A few strands of hair fell out.

"... "

The sleepy pink eyes stared at those few strands of hair without any reaction.

"...Let's call it a day, Captain."

The girl wearing a mask stood up, then exchanged a glance with the other two before walking towards the door.

"Captain, you should go back and rest too!"

"... "

boom.

The door was closed.

It belongs to Yuyuko Otsuki.

Yuuko Otsuki sighed, sat down in a chair, and continued to stare blankly.

She suddenly felt so insignificant.

First...first...the first place she had always strived for was of no use at this moment.

【what should I do?】

I've asked myself these questions countless times, but there's still no answer.

It was as if my heart was broken; I couldn't react at all.

"... "

Senior Haru...why did you do that kind of thing...?

Why did they agree to that?

Clearly… Senpai Haru wasn't like this before… why…

Click.

The door opened, and Iwashita Shima walked in.

"Your teammates asked me to come and check on you."

Iwashita Shima narrowed his eyes.

"Yuyuko, are you alright?"

"... "

Yuyuko Otsuki remained silent.

"…Yuyuko!"

Iwashita Shima called out again, this time a little louder.

"...I'm fine..."

Yuyuko Otsuki finally responded.

"…Ugh…"

Iwashita Shima scratched his head and sat down next to Otsuki Yuuko.

"You like Qing, right?"

"...Can everyone tell?"

"Otsuki Yuuko asked."

"Except for Qing, who is physically blind and therefore unable to notice, and that idiot who was drinking all the time, everyone else can see it."

As Iwashita Shima spoke, she sighed.

"...You're heartbroken now... Well... I've never been through this, so I don't know how to comfort you."

"... "

"But Qing has found someone she likes after all... Even if we don't know if it will last, there's no need to be so sad, right?"

"... "

"That Kita guy must be a good person, after all..."

"It wasn't her."

Yuuko Otsuki interrupted, looking up with a shadow over her pink pupils.

"…no?"

Iwashita Shima blinked, somewhat confused about the current situation.

"No, it's not."

Yuyuko Otsuki stood up and walked forward.

"I only realized now that Senior Haru is that kind of person..."

"…What?"

Iwashita Shima tilted his head, then frowned.

If someone is going to say bad things about Haru, it's better to interrupt...

"Senior Haru... So you've always felt lonely? Even though you have us by your side... even though I'm here... you still feel lonely?"

Otsuki Yuyuko said.

"...Yuyuko, what are you talking about?"

Iwashita Shima had a bad feeling.

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki turned around and smiled at Shima Iwashita.

"...What does Shima-senpai think of Haru-senpai?"

"Of course we're friends!"

Iwashita Shima quickly replied.

“…Ah…yes…”

Yuuko Otsuki nodded.

"He really, really needs love. One, two, three, four... maybe even more, Shima-senpai. Kiku-nee might not be lying to you."

"…What?"

Iwashita Shima was stunned.

"...Maybe...she really is in a relationship with Senior Haru."

Otsuki Yuyuko said bitterly.

"Huh? But Yuyuko, didn't you say..."

"Yes, he and Kita are also lovers."

Yuuko Otsuki nodded.

"…ah?"

Iwashita Shima stood there, stunned.

Yuyuko Otsuki continued.

"He and Yamada Ryo are in a romantic relationship."

"No...no...wait a minute..."

"He and Ichiki Nikka are lovers."

Yuyuko Otsuki did not stop.

"How could Haru do such a thing?! Otsuki Yuuko, wake up!"

Iwashita Shima retorted emotionally.

"He and Goto Ichiri are lovers."

Yuyuko Otsuki still didn't stop.

"No matter how you look at it, this kind of thing..."

Iwashita Shima's voice softened.

"I suppose he's also in a romantic relationship with that languid 'Starry Night' girl."

Yuyuko Otsuki revealed the last known person.

"...Huh...?"

Iwashita Shima felt numb all over.
