Lonely Rock for the Blind.

In that case... I'm a senior too!

Ah… if Nijika and Ryo call me senpai…

"I see."

Ichi Nijika nodded.

Yamada Ryo nodded in agreement.

Kita Ikuyo stepped forward and patted Goto Ichiri on the head.

"Xiao Yili is really amazing."

"... "

Goto Ichiri didn't say anything, but turned away dejectedly.

"...Why am I so frustrated...?"

Ichi Nijika was helpless.

"Anyway, Xia Qing, we can start preparing for the rehearsal now. All of you, just go to the contestants' area over there and wait for the rehearsal."

Yoshida Ginjiro pushed Nekoyashiki Haru in the other direction.

"Let me put on a hood first..."

Haru Nekoyashiki put on the headgear and tapped it gently.

On the electronic screen, an expression lit up.

...

……

.........

"... "

Eliza squinted as she looked at Nekoyashiki Haru as she was wheeled in.

The other band members gathered there immediately turned their attention to this area.

"Look, it's the [Poison Cat]!"

"I thought they weren't coming today."

"Can I have an autograph? Or a photo with you?"

Someone tried to approach, but was blocked by Kita Ikuyo's skillful movement in the next moment.

Because it was so natural, the keyboardist could only leave with regret.

Yoshida Ginjiro escorted Nekoyashiki Haru to the vicinity of the three members of [ck Hack].

"Xiao Qing..."

Upon seeing Nekoyashiki Haru, Hiroi Kikuri suddenly trembled.

She remembered what Otsuki Yuuko looked like in the bathroom before.

Turning around, sure enough, Otsuki Yuuko was looking over there.

"... "

Noticing that Kikuto Hiroi was looking at her, Yuyuko Otsuki looked away.

Hiroi Kikuri held Nekoya Shikiharu's hand tightly.

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then grasped it back and asked softly.

"what happened?"

"…fine…"

Kikuri Hiroi shook her head.

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

"Are you really alright?"

"...It's alright, at least it's not a big deal."

Kikuri Hiroi said.

"…All right."

Haru Nekoyashiki smiled helplessly, then reached out and touched Kikuri Hiroi's hair.

In reality, he can't see Kikusato Hiroi now. Although his eyesight has recovered to the point where he can see blurry figures, the hood was never designed with the possibility of seeing outside in mind.

So he is now experiencing the past again after a long time.

Iwashita Shima frowned as she looked at the two clasped hands.

He stepped forward, ready to say something.

"You'd be disliked no matter what country you're in."

Eliza, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up.

"... "

Shima Iwashita frowned as she looked at Eliza, and finally just sighed helplessly.

"...You don't understand..."

"Really? Don't I understand?"

Eliza tilted her head and smiled, revealing her cat-like mouth.

Iwashita Shima sighed and stepped forward to speak to Nekoyashiki Haru.

Good morning, Qing.

Good morning, Shima.

Nekoyashiki Haru responded.

Iwashita Shima's gaze remained fixed on Hiroi Kikuri and Nekoyashiki Haru's clasped hands.

My eyelids twitched involuntarily a few times.

After hesitating for a moment, she said.

"...It wouldn't look good if someone saw this, so let go of my hand."

Hiroi Kikuri was startled and quickly pulled her hand away.

Noticing the loss of sensation in her hand, Nekoyashiki Haru withdrew her hand.

Just in case, let me ask you... Shima, you still don't understand?

"…Ugh…"

Iwashita Shima let out a long sigh and did not answer.

Haru Nekoyashiki narrowed her eyes beneath the hood.

"Never mind... let's focus on the performance first."

"Ah."

Iwashita Shima nodded in agreement.

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly paused for a moment.

"By the way, isn't Eliza here?"

"exist…"

Iwashita Shima had barely uttered a single word when Eliza interrupted him.

"I'm here, Xiao Qing~"

Eliza, who had been mostly silent, suddenly spoke up to greet them.

"Good morning."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

"Well, good morning."

Eliza nodded.

Hiroi Kikuri's purple eyes stared at Eliza with a puzzled look.

Chapter 381 Still Like It

"Look! I made stickers, you can stick them on your musical instruments."

While waiting for the rehearsal, Ichiji Nijika smiled and said to the others.

"Is this the mascot from last time?"

Kita Ikuyo picked up the sticker and asked.

"Yes, it would be great to stick one on the headstock of the instrument!"

Ichi Nijika closed her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and nodded smugly.

However, there was no response.

Ichi Nijika paused for a moment, then looked up at Kita Ikuyo.

Kita Ikuyo was looking behind Iji Tomokazu.

Ichi Nijika looked at the other two and found that they were also looking behind her.

After hesitating for a moment, Ichiji Nijika turned her head to look.

"...Good morning, end of band."

Yuyuko Otsuki greeted him softly.
