Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Nekoyashiki Haru put one hand on her hip and then suddenly turned around.

"Where are you going?"

Ijichi Hoshika looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"I'll go check on them."

Nekoyashiki Haru answered, then walked forward.

Dahei Yin's pupils contracted.

"wait…"

boom!

Nekoyashiki Haruyuki suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had bumped into something in his chest.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Sato Aiko, who had been knocked to the ground, rubbed her forehead.

"Oh dear! What's going on?!"

Yoshida Ginjiro ran over and helped Sato Aiko up.

"It's nothing, just an accidental bump. Um... Poison Cat Teacher?!"

Sato Aiko stared wide-eyed at Nekoyashiki Haru in front of her and exclaimed in surprise.

"What? You two know each other..."

Yoshida Ginjiro breathed a sigh of relief.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded, and Ijichi Hoshika walked over, arms crossed, looking at Sato Aiko.

"You're here too..."

"I, I'll definitely come...and..."

Sato Aiko held up the sign on her chest.

"...I was invited here as a reporter."

Yoshida Ginjiro quickly chimed in.

"That's right, Ms. Sato was invited!"

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly paused for a moment, then asked.

"By the way, are you heading to the rest area now?"

"That's it."

Sato Aiko nodded.

"...I'm going too, take me with you."

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"Huh? Okay..."

Sato Aiko nodded.

Are you very worried about them?

Yoshida Ginjiro asked with a smile.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"I need to go check on them."

...

……

.........

"Phew... It's great that Xiao Yi didn't hide in the toilet. She really overcame her instincts."

Kita Ikuyo stroked Goto Ichiri's head and said.

"That's right, Pochi doesn't need to be afraid, there are only two steps left."

"Go, Nijika Ichi!"

Yamada Ryo followed silently behind.

As the group was walking, they suddenly bumped into two passersby.

"We've decided on [DEROS]."

One of them said.

"Aren't there many other bands?"

"Another person asked."

"Yes, I'm sorry, but [DEROS]'s performance has already determined that there's nothing to look forward to next."

The two walked by, chatting and laughing, and disappeared down the corridor.

"..." × 4

The four watched silently as the two disappeared.

"There's nothing we can do about being perceived that way... But everyone, just give it your best!"

Nijika Ichi quickly spoke up to the others.

If morale is dampened at this time...

Snap...

Suddenly, footsteps sounded ahead again, and the four of them looked ahead.

"Ah... a kitten?"

Ijichi Nijika stared wide-eyed at Nekoyashiki Haru walking towards them, along with Sato Aiko and Yoshida Ginjiro.

"Why did you suddenly come here?"

"Because I wanted to see you all..."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said."

Suddenly, Yoshida Ginjiro, who was standing next to them, laughed and introduced Sato Aiko to the group.

"Gentlemen, this is a reporter, and it seems he even wrote an article for you before."

With that, Yoshida Ginjiro turned on his phone.

"Look! There are still many people who believe in you!"

"...'The Band That Will Be a Hit in the Future'...Was this written by the Poisonous Dark Lady?!"

Kita Ikuyo exclaimed in shock.

"Wait!"

Sato Aiko hurriedly stepped forward and took Yoshida Ginjiro's phone away.

"Why should we show it to them...?"

"I just wanted them to know that they have supporters..."

Yoshida Ginjiro said awkwardly.

"I never expected... you would write this article..."

"Ichi Nijika said softly."

"... "

Sato Aiko clenched her fists, then whispered.

"...I've always been very serious about the band...You guys are improving really fast and have a lot of potential."

"Actually, she often comes to see your performances."

"Nekoyashiki Haru, who was standing next to me, suddenly said."

"!"

Sato Aiko trembled slightly, then sighed.

"…come on…"

Then he ran deeper into the corridor.

"Oh no, wait a minute, that's not the way we're going!"

Yoshida Ginjiro quickly followed.

"... "

Goto Ichiri watched the departing figure, then looked at Nekoyashiki Haru in front of her.

"Were you hit hard?"

"Nekoyashiki Haru asked softly."

"Although I really want to say no... I was definitely a bit of a blow."

"Ichi Nijika scratched her head and said."

"Yes, I have a little too."

Kita Ikuyo nodded and said.

Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo remained silent.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent for a moment, then opened her arms and stepped forward.

"Um, can I give you a hug?"

He asked tentatively.
