Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Those eyes that can't see anything... are no longer looking at me...

I stubbornly want those eyes to keep looking at me... but I know that's wrong...

That's how I should feel, but... if I can see so many people, why shouldn't I be among them?

What kind of person am I in your eyes?

"team leader."

A voice called out beside me.

The MC segment without a lead singer has just ended.

Yuyuko Otsuki took a deep breath.

Pink eyes gaze into black pupils.

I really wanted you to... look at me... just like in the beginning.

If I hadn't met them, I would have been the leading lady in your story.

Actually, I know very well... Kiku-san is right.

Winning against them in the competition is pointless; all you can do is comfort them and move on with them.

I just...

Snapped!

A fierce guitar riff suddenly erupted, accompanied by other instruments, unleashing a ferocious tone.

Yuuko Otsuki opened her mouth wide and sang, sending the notes to their peak.

I just... can't accept that I can't even get a glimpse of myself right now!

"...!"

Below the stage, Nekoyashiki Haru's pupils contracted slightly.

"Wow... the lead singer is really energetic."

Daikoku Otoko's eyes widened in surprise.

"This guy..."

Even Ichiji Seika couldn't help but frown.

"The intensity is very high."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru clenched her fists.

One by one, the audience members below the stage jumped up and down.

Their bodies swayed to the rhythm, and hands reached out, waving towards the stage like seaweed in a raging ocean current.

The lights began to flash, making Otsuki Yuuko's figure appear infinitely taller.

The girl shining on the stage did not move her gaze for a moment.

She continued to look into the boy's dark eyes.

From those eyes, countless colors flashed across the pink pupils.

Among those colors that are treasured like precious gems, there is no trace of a young girl…

Ijichi Hoshika and Okoro Otomi also noticed the gaze and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

As he swayed his head, the singing suddenly rose to a climax once again.

The guitar was pounded even more violently until the singing subsided, at which point it slowly stopped.

"...Haa...Haa..."

Yuuko Otsuki was breathing slowly.

So… you nodded.

Yuyuko Otsuki laughed.

Her cheeks were flushed from singing so intensely.

"Oh oh oh oh!" ×N

The audience erupted in cheers at that moment.

Behind those hands raised even higher, Nekoyashiki Haru's footsteps retreated.

Okoro Omi and Iji Tomoka both turned to look at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"What happened? She seemed to be staring at you the whole time?"

"Ichi Hoshika asked with a hint of worry."

"...Yes, I know, it's okay."

Nekoyashiki Haru responded.

"... "

Dahei Yin narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked.

Do you hate yourself?

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

Chapter 383 Keep it up!

【Oh oh oh oh oh!】

The cheers, which could be heard even through the lounge, made Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nijika tense up at the same time.

"...The atmosphere outside is amazing..."

"Ichi Nijika said softly."

"Indeed, I couldn't help but get nervous."

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists.

"Eat it...eat it...eat it..."

Goto Ichiri kept drawing the character "人" (person) in his hand, then ate it in one bite to relieve his tension.

"... "

Yamada Ryo kept her eyes closed and didn't speak, which made Iji Chi Nikka look at her.

"...Liang...how do you manage to not be nervous at all?"

"... "

Yamada Ryo didn't speak, but instead looked up at Ijichi Nijika.

"...No, I drank too much of the beverage, I need to go to the toilet."

Yamada Ryo said, trembling.

"Why can you put on such a cool and aloof act even when you're holding it in...?"

Nijika Ichi's expression fell.

"Ah! Me too!"

Goto Ichiri quickly raised his hand.

"it is good."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then opened the door, and Goto Ichiri quickly followed.

Then suddenly I felt my hands being lifted up.

"?"

Goto Ichiri blinked blankly, then looked at Iji Chikatsu and Kita Ikuyo on either side.

"...To avoid you hiding in the toilet and not coming out, let's go with you."

Ichi Nijika explained.

Then, together with Kita Ikuyo, they carried Goto Ichiri towards the restroom.

"Ugh..."

Goto Ichiri let out a low sob.

...

……

.........

"They're in big danger if this continues..."

"Ichi Hoshika sighed and said."

Now the second band, [Beast Ria], has finished their performance. Although it didn't blow the crowd away like the first show with Otsuki Yuyuko, it was undoubtedly a great performance that captured the atmosphere.

"Fifth place is definitely not a good order... By the time they come on stage, everyone in the audience will already be exhausted..."

As Daikoku Oto looked at the still excited audience in front of him, his heart sank.

"And the standards have been raised too high all at once..."
