Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Yuyuko Otsuki began washing her hands again.

"So, can you answer me, Kiku-nee-san?"

"...It's good...Qing...he's working very hard!"

Kikuri Hiroi nodded vigorously and said.

"...Really? Well, Senior Haru is very serious... I thought you guys were the kind who were completely left to your own devices... Heh..."

Otsuki Yuyuko suddenly laughed again.

Hiroi Kikuri also took a step back once again.

"Actually, I can tell from your complexion that you are much healthier than before, and you also look a little plumper. You were really too thin before. Senior Qing has taken very good care of you."

As Otsuki Yuuko said, Hiroi Kikuri could see the faint dark circles under the girl's eyes.

"…Yes…"

Hiroi Kikuri nodded.

"...What does it feel like?"

Snapped!

The tap was suddenly and forcefully turned off.

Yuyuko Otsuki turned to look at Kikuri Hiroi, staring intently at her face.

"…What?"

Kikuri Hiroi didn't react at first.

"...I asked, what does it feel like?"

Yuuko Otsuki's hands, which were red from washing, trembled slightly.

"What's it like to live with him, kiss him, and do 'that' with him? Kiku-nee-san, can you tell me?!"

Her tone was sharp.

"Yuyuko...?"

Hiroi Kikuri was a little frightened.

“…I…want to know…because…it’s so strange…why did things turn out like this? Ever since that woman…ah, I think she’s Ijichi Nijika’s older sister, right? Ever since she took Haru-senpai away, everything has gone off track!”

Yuuko Otsuki gritted her teeth.

"...I'm not...I'm not angry...I, I just can't understand it. It's so strange. We had so much time at the beginning, we should have had so many more memories together, but it was all cut off on that day! Is it my fault?"

No...it's not...

Hiroi Kikuri wanted to tell Otsuki Yuyuko "that's not how it is," but unfortunately, Otsuki Yuyuko had no intention of expecting her answer at all.

She just continued talking to herself.

"...At first I thought there was more time...and it hasn't been that long...and he chose to be with so many people...Why didn't he come to find me? Wasn't I obvious? Ah...I guess I was deliberately hiding it..."

Yuyuko Otsuki clenched her fists with a slightly manic expression, but then relaxed them the next moment.

"But...I just can't...I absolutely...can't stand it..."

Yuuko Otsuki's voice softened.

“I should have gone first… that’s how it should have been… he cares a lot about ending the band, doesn’t he…?”

Yuyuko Otsuki walked towards the door.

"I'll make him regret it. I'll beat them here, or in the finals!"

"...He won't regret it, he'll only offer comfort."

Kikuri Hiroi said.

"!"

Yuuko Otsuki trembled, then suddenly covered her ears and ran out.

Chapter 380 Live Review

"I'm so nervous... I have to go to the venue now..."

Ichi Nijika crossed her arms and closed her eyes as she spoke.

"I was really nervous... but it was in a familiar place, so it was somewhat comforting."

Kita Ikuyo said to Iji Chi Nikka with a smile.

"Ugh..."

Goto Ichiri nervously drew the character "人" (person) in his hand.

Yamada Ryo walked over at that moment.

"Good morning."

Good morning! By the way, did you just wake up?

Ichiji Nijika looked at Yamada Ryo with suspicion and asked.

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"...You really don't seem nervous at all..."

Ichi Nijika sighed.

"I was just as nervous as a primary school student before a school field trip last night."

"The elementary school students must be excited about the spring outing, right?"

Kita Ikuyo blinked and corrected him.

"Alright, both cars have arrived, we can set off now."

Nekoyashiki Haru walked over at that moment and said.

"Isn't taking a taxi too extravagant? Taking the tram would be much better."

"Ichi Nijika pondered."

"There's no need to be so frugal on such an important day."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

"That's right~"

The yawning, dark voice agreed.

"Traveling by car is so comfortable!"

Ijichi Seika, yawning, echoed the same sentiment.

"You two should have a healthier lifestyle. Anyway... everyone, let's go!"

Nijika Ichichi stood up and announced.

...

……

.........

"Wow, so many people have come..."

The five of them entered the venue, and Ichiji Nijika opened her eyes wide.

"After all, this competition is quite popular."

Suddenly appearing beside Nekoyashiki Haru, Yoshida Ginjiro patted the boy on the shoulder and said something.

Nekoyashiki Haru was startled, and her whole body tensed up suddenly.

"Good morning, Manager Yin." ×2

Kita Ikuyo and Iji Tomoka bowed in greeting at the same time.

Yoshida Ginjiro smiled and waved, then continued.

"But it's not time for the audience to enter now, so most of the people here are probably the organizers' sponsors or record company employees. Just ignore them and don't let it affect your performance."

“I see… No wonder my sister and Miss Pa went to look for breakfast around here just now.”

Ichi Nijika stroked her chin thoughtfully, and then the four of them were all stunned and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"...Then why is the kitten here?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked."

"Ah, because the opening act today is a collaboration between [ck Hack] and [Poison Cat]."

Yoshida Ginjiro said with a smile.

"Is the senior going to perform on stage? Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen the senior perform live before."

Kita Ikuyo said.

"I've seen it before."

Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs up.

"I haven't seen it either..."

Ichi Nijika scratched her head.

"!"

Goto Ichiri opened his eyes wide, immediately raised his hand, and jumped up and down excitedly a few times.

"Oh! Player Pochi, you speak!"

Ichi Nijika immediately responded.

"I...I've seen it so many times...that one! It's amazing!"

Goto Ichiri nodded vigorously and said excitedly.

Hehe... I'm the one who watched the most.
