Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"Ahem, I mean, how have things been between you and that Nekoyashiki Haru lately?"

Xi asked with a light cough.

"With a senior? That's great!"

Kita Ikuyo laughed, and looking at Kita Ikuyo's innocent smile, Kita Kuryuyo couldn't help but clench her fist.

Yu Dai... was actually deceived into having this silly, foolish smile.

I can't let him get away with this!

"So, should we bring him home tomorrow?"

How long will it take to ask him?

"?"

Kita Ikuyo blinked.

"May I?!"

Then, with a hint of surprise, he asked.

"Ah... um."

Seeing the girl's surprised expression, Kita Ikuyo felt a little afraid of Kita Ikuyo's reaction when the truth was revealed.

But... we can't keep Yudai in the dark!

"How about tomorrow night? After you finish practicing."

"it is good."

Kita Ikuyo nodded immediately.

...

……

.........

"That's right, senior. Come with me to see your mother today."

Kita Ikuyo said to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"By the way, what happened to your face, senior?"

Kita Ikuyo frowned.

"Why are there red marks?"

"It's nothing... I just accidentally bumped into something."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook her head.

Goto Ichiri, who was standing next to him, looked up.

It was swollen yesterday, but today there's only a red mark.

Qing's body is terrifying...

Be careful...

Ichi Nijika's worried voice rang out.

"Yes, I'll be careful."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"You still can't see things when we're not around, so don't do dangerous things alone."

Ichi Nijika continued seriously.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"I understand. But lately, I feel like I'm becoming more and more sensitive to light. My eyesight should be slowly recovering."

"Nekoyashiki Haru said, sitting in a chair."

"... "

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and suddenly spoke up.

“Yesterday my mom also said some strange things to me.”

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, then asked.

"What...what did you say?"

"I wasn't listening carefully."

Yamada Ryo squinted.

Anyway... I feel like it's related to you too.

"?"

Kita Ikuyo's pupils contracted as she realized something.

Ichi Nijika was also stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth wide.

"Wait, wait a minute! Could it be that..."

All eyes were on her.

She swallowed hard.

"...How about we just cover this up for now?"

"Let's forget about it, otherwise the problem might get worse."

Haru Nekoyashiki looked at Kita Ikuyo, who was a little frightened, and smiled.

"Let's go, Yudai."

"... "

Looking at that smile that made her slightly distracted, Kita Ikuyo trembled, then grabbed Nekoyashiki Haru's hand.

"Let's go... let's go."

...

……

.........

On the train, Kita Ikuyo and Nekoyashiki Haru sat side by side.

Night fell a little late tonight. The carriage was empty except for them, and the yellowish light made it look as if it were soaking in fruit juice.

Kita Ikuyo, wearing a dress, swung her feet, her heels occasionally clattering together with a clicking sound.

"Senior, aren't you scared?"

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head and suddenly asked the silent Nekoyashiki Haru beside her.

Are you scared?

Nekoyashiki Haru turned her head and asked.

"I'm scared... But rather than being scared of facing my parents, I'm actually more scared of how my seniors look when they face them."

Kita Ikuyo shook her head.

"Was it because of this that you went home with Xiao Yi yesterday?"

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Seriously... how did they even find out...?"

Kita Ikuyo sighed.

"It was impossible to keep it a secret forever."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a smile.

"But I originally thought that I could keep it a secret until we were all grown up and didn't need them to care anymore... then it would be much simpler."

Kita Yukiyo sighed.

"Keeping it a secret for so long is too cruel to your uncle and aunt."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"Actually, I originally planned to talk to my uncles and aunts after Hongxia got into university. It's earlier than I thought, but not by much."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"I took too long to mentally prepare..."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo remained silent, looking at Nekoyashiki Haru's hand on the chair, and then placed her own hand on top of it.

Then slowly tighten your grip.

"It's clearly because of us... Senior didn't want it to be like this in the first place..."

"But the fact is that I made this choice."

Haruto Nekoyashiki touched Kita Ikuyo's hair with her other hand.

"Therefore, there is no need to pass the buck about responsibility."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo pursed her lips.

"For example, if... if you can't convince your parents, what would you do then?"

"Ok?"

Nekoyashiki Haru paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then spoke.
