Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Oh my, Yuyuko's taken a different path! Is she confessing to Haru?"

Not far away, Yoshida Ginjiro was clapping along to the beat, clearly unaware of anything unusual.

I long for you... I long for you... I long for you so much...

I don't need to reminisce, so...

You know...you know...you know...so you know...I long for you to know how much I crave you.

At this moment, I am completely obsessed.

As the last line of the lyrics fell, Yuuko Otsuki's head drooped sharply, her breathing rapid.

"Hiss...ha...ha..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru covered her mouth, her body trembling even more violently.

He fully grasped the emotions in the song... and the longing within it...

That's why he's feeling a little dazed right now.

After the break in the dressing room, the four band members fell silent.

After a long while, Yamada Ryo finally spoke.

"She wants to get involved with Cat-kun."

"Let me tell you something that you didn't hear."

"Ichi Nijika said irritably."

"Hmm... I think I can actually understand it..."

Kita Ikuyo looked away.

"If I had experienced something like what Ms. Otsuki went through... I'd probably end up like this now..."

Kita Ikuyo suddenly remembered the scene of deliberately kissing Nekoyashiki Haru in front of Otsuki Yuyuko during their hot spring trip.

Am I... pretty cruel?

"... "

Goto Ichiri, on the other hand, was in a daze.

"Pochi? What's wrong?"

"Ichi Niji Natsumi asked."

"...I...I'm just...great..."

"Eh?"

...

……

.........

Even after the performance ended, Nekoyashiki Haru remained rooted to the spot, motionless.

The phone rang suddenly at that moment, and Nekoyashiki Haru mechanically answered it.

It was Otsuki Yuuko's voice inside.

[Come to the backstage...]

Click.

The call was then disconnected.

"…call…"

Nekoyashiki Haru took a deep breath for a while, and then said to Ijichi Seika beside her.

"...Sister Xingge, can you take me backstage?"

"…it is good."

Ijichi Hoshika was silent for a moment, then nodded.

------------------

Why is this happening?!

I hate chicken cards, I absolutely hate them, I loathe them like the stench of maggots crawling out of a chasm...

I love you!!! Mother Chicken!!! Why did you become like this! You should have had a more exciting story and a better ending, instead of this indescribable thing.

I can't forget you, Mother Chicken! I long for you before the show started! All that love has turned into hate at this moment! But I know you won't care about me. You'll just be controlled by those old, clueless idiots who can't keep their stories and head towards that sea of ​​shit!

But I am so unwilling. If, if you hadn't rotted, if I had written a mother hen card, if I hadn't cut off the setting, if I still loved you, would I not be lost in the boundless void because of that huge dark cloud?

I hate you! I despise you! But I love you so much that I've started to hate myself!

Chapter 395 Pain

Behind the stage.

"arrive."

Ijichi Hoshika turned around and said to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Okay, I understand. Sister Xingge can go back and find Hongxia and the others now."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and then waited somewhat anxiously.

"...Who are you here to see?"

Ijichi Hoshika did not leave, but instead asked Nekoyashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, I'm waiting for someone."

"...Was that the lead singer of [DEROS] just now?"

Ichi Hoshika continued to ask.

"Yes."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and said.

"...Okay, I'll go now."

Ichika nodded, then turned and left.

"Wait a minute, Sister Xingge."

Nekoyashiki Haru called out to Ijichi Seika.

"?"

Ijichi Hoshika turned to look at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"I have something I want to say to Sister Xingge later tonight."

Nekoyashiki Haru took a deep breath.

"It's...a very important thing."

"...I understand. I actually have something to ask you too."

"Ichi Hoshika said."

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then heard Ijichi Hoshika's footsteps gradually receding into the distance.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru stood there stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

Oh well, we'll find out what happened later anyway.

Now, the more important thing is...

despair…

Footsteps sounded in front of me.

Nekoyashiki Haru swallowed hard.

It must be said that the song sung by Yuyuko Otsuki just now gave Haru Nekoyashiki a great shock.

Perhaps it's because it's the singer herself? That's why I can feel the emotions in the song even more now.

I felt a little guilty, and also a little awkward.

"Yuyuko...you're here?"

Nekoyashiki Haru swallowed hard, then asked softly.

"…Um…"

There was only a dull response, followed by silence.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru waited, but Otsuki Yuuko remained silent for a long time before finally speaking tentatively.

"What's wrong, Yuyuko?"

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki slowly raised her head. Her brown hair, damp with sweat from the performance, made her look a little disheveled. Her pink eyes were fixed on the boy in front of her.

The costume fluttered slightly in the breeze, and the hat on her head had fallen off somewhere along the way.

"How was my singing...?"

Otsuki Yuuko finally spoke and asked.

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then slowly smiled.

"You sang wonderfully."
