Lonely Rock for the Blind.

The lights flashed, bringing the stage to a climax.

Xi Du Liu Dai swung the baton in her hand more and more fiercely, especially when she saw that the person in front of her was swinging it even harder than she was.

She stood on tiptoe, wanting Kita Ikuyo to see her puffed-up cheeks.

And I did see it.

Kita Ikuyo bent over, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead, shimmering like stardust under the flickering lights.

Overhead, someone's scandal swept past.

People's fates are not the same.

It felt like being attacked by a long, drawn-out melody.

Kita Ikuyo raised her voice, trying her best to raise it even higher.

It was as if he wanted someone in the audience to fully understand something.

The true nature of love remains unknown.

[If this continues, I will never be able to sing again, not even for the rest of my life.]

What is liking? What is love? Tell me the answer.

Under the light, the water droplets reflected.

But that wasn't the girl's reaction.

She just kept singing.

Love songs and stuff... are already...

Kita Ikuyo's voice faded away.

Ugh, I'm so fed up, so fed up, so fed up!

As the last line of lyrics fell, all that remained were the sounds of joyful yet weary breathing coming through the microphone.

"…ha…"

Nekoyashiki Haru is facing the person beside her.

The woman let out a soft, relaxed laugh.

...

……

.........

"Kito played really well today, I was quite surprised."

As she drank her mineral water, Ichiki Nigatsu couldn't help but sigh.

"Because...today is a little different."

Kita Ikuyo said softly.

"Because of your mother?"

"I asked Yamada Ryo."

That's right.

Kita Yukiyo nodded.

"I... I was looking at the ground and counting the dust, so I didn't notice."

Goto Ichiri raised his head and said.

Click.

The door was suddenly opened.

Goto Ichiri shrank into the box.

Yamada Ryo stood there, arms crossed, lost in thought.

Ijichi Nijika was startled and choked on the water in her mouth.

"Cough...cough cough!"

Kijiro walked in and gave the group a strange look.

What's wrong with you?

"N-nothing...it's nothing..."

Ichi Nijika shook her head.

Kita Yukiyo suddenly stood up and stared at Kita Tsuyuyo.

"... "

"... "

The two looked at each other in silence.

After a while, the two spoke at the same time.

"How was it?" "Not bad."

Both of them were startled at the same time.

Xi Jiushu sighed.

"I'm a layman, so I can't give any professional evaluation... but it sounds pretty good."

"!"

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fist.

"...I...whatever you want."

How long does it take for the head to tilt?

"I won't stop you anymore. Just do whatever you want."

Xi Shuliudai's lips curled up slightly in a smile.

"You... can definitely go further than me."

Chapter 377 The Last Time I Borrowed Money

"29th place! It's only been one day, and the votes have suddenly increased so fast!"

Nijika Ichi exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the leaderboard on her phone.

"That's probably why."

Next to her, Ijichi Hoshika waved her phone, which held an anonymous article.

10 Bands That Will Become Huge Stars in the Future

"Huh? This is...we're in it?"

Nijika Ichi took the phone and started looking at it.

[End of Band: A J-ROCK band active in Shimokitazawa, consisting of four members, all high school students. They've shown remarkable progress, but be aware that the pink-haired guitarist often engages in bizarre behavior.]

"Oh, Pochettino got called out."

Ichi Nijika smiled and put her phone away.

"Hehe, we've been noticed too."

"... "

Ijichi Seika looked at the happy Ijichi Nijika in silence for a while, then took the phone back and said.

"Not necessarily. Maybe Qing asked someone to write it for her."

"No way, didn't you ever think that it was the result of our own hard work?"

Ichi Nijika expressed her dissatisfaction.

"...Just think that way."

Ichiji Hoshika lowered her head and said casually.

Why are you being so dismissive...?

Ichi Nijika pouted and walked towards her room.

"I'm going to sleep now, sister, you should go to sleep early too."

"it is good."

Ichi Seika nodded.

Click.

The door to Ijichi Nijika's room closed.

After a moment of silence, Ijichi Hoshika took a deep breath.

"...I'm hungry, let's go out and find some late-night snacks later."

...

……

"good evening."

Haru Nekoyashiki was suddenly woken up from the sofa.

He turned his head to look, but it was someone he couldn't see yet.

"cold?"

Even if you can't see it, you won't mistake a familiar voice.

"It's nighttime now, how did you get here?"

Still living in the villa in Roppongi, Nekoyashiki Haru looked puzzled.

"I didn't go home at night; I wandered around outside."
