Lonely Rock for the Blind.

Then, the flames gradually merged and burned brighter and brighter.

The four colors burned intensely on the stage.

"…Very good…"

Nekoyashiki Haru's eyes were moist.

Then, my relief was overshadowed by shock.

"?"

The flame-like color slowly radiated light outwards.

Gradually, blurry images of the stage, sound, and effects appeared in Nekoyashiki Haru's eyes.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't say anything, she just stared blankly.

[The only sound I heard when I clapped was my own.]

[Let your footsteps echo until they leave their mark.]

[Open your eyes and face the title of loneliness.]

Accept that solitary impulse within your heart.

Now, I confirm the sound of my own heart deep within my chest.

The music reached its climax.

[Except for my own voice.]

In the end, everything came to an abrupt end.

...

……

.........

"So... after the vote, the two bands that advanced this time..."

The host paused briefly.

"[DEROS]!"

The audience cheered.

On stage, Yuyuko Otsuki led her teammates out.

"...and then the next band...ah, what a huge upset."

The host spoke with a smile, then held up the slip of paper in his hand.

"The End Band from Shimokitazawa!"

The four of them walked onto the stage at the same time.

"...It's...it's done!"

Ichi Nijika looked at the three people behind her in astonishment.

"...I already informed Oichi-senpai..."

Kita Ikuyo said helplessly.

"But...but...it worked!"

It seems like all I can do is repeat those two words.

"She's so happy she's lost her mind, is it time to ask her for something in return?"

Yamada Ryo began to think.

“…Um…it’s time to go up.”

Goto Ichiri reminded him.

The others nodded immediately and then went up on stage together.

Then he made eye contact with the girl on the other side.

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki remained silent.

The other four were all taken aback.

"…great…"

Softly uttering words of praise, Otsuki Yuuko faced the audience.

The group exchanged glances, and finally looked down at the audience.

Welcome the cheers that belong to them.

Also, I bought a lot of Red Bull.

Chapter 385 Solitude (Part 2)

"Xiao Yili was so cool on stage just now! I was quite surprised."

Kita Ikuyo smiled at Goto Ichiri.

"...Ah...actually...it's because I didn't know what expression to make..."

Goto Ichiri said, his face ashen.

"...And now my internal organs are trembling... I'm not going to make it..."

"...Are the internal organs something that can tremble at will?"

Kita Ikuyo was puzzled.

"Oh my, everyone is really great! By the way, aren't you going home with your families?"

Dahei Yin asked.

"Because we're going to have a victory celebration banquet."

"Ichi Nijika replied."

"I'm going back now, I need to prepare to open for business."

"Ichika said helplessly," she paused for a moment, and then continued.

"I will prepare gifts for you."

"Ugh~ My sister is really something~"

Nijika Ichi couldn't help but laugh.

“I want a new bass.”

Yamada Ryo smiled and made a request.

"...It can't be Bass's."

Ijichi Hoshika shook her head and then walked to the other side.

"Big Black, come with me. As for Qing... you can have her."

That's all, see you later!

Ooku waved his hand and whispered as he passed Ichiji Nijika.

"...Qing seems a bit off."

After saying that, he left with Ichiji Seika.

"?"

Ijichi Nijika paused for a moment and looked at Nekoyashiki Haru, who had been silent all along.

"…kitten?"

She called out softly, but there was no response.

The others also turned their gazes over.

"What's wrong, senior? You look like you've been scared stiff."

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head in confusion.

"Dumb and dazed."

Ryo Yamada's evaluation.

"What's wrong…?"

Goto Ichiri also looked puzzled.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru raised her head, looked at the people next to her, and then looked at the tree next to Ijichi Nijika.

"...Is that a tree?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"!" ×4

Several people opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Ichi Nijika opened her mouth.

"Little cat, you..."

Nekoyashiki Haru then pointed to the pillar on the other side.

"...Is that a telephone pole?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then looked down at the stone bricks under her feet.

"...I always thought there were gaps, but it turns out it's openwork..."
