Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"...Have you forgotten how you got here?"

Iwashita Shima gritted his teeth.

"If you wanted to leave, you would have left already!"

Hiroi Kikuri looked at Iwashita Shima without saying a word.

"... "

Eliza stared blankly at Iwashita Shima.

"I just can't stand it anymore!!!"

With a roar, Iwashita Shima strode toward Nekoyashiki Haru.

Hearing the footsteps, Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned for a moment, and then her hands were suddenly grabbed.

The umbrella slipped from the boy's hand and fell to the ground.

"If you want to do something, just do it! If he really did what he just said, he wouldn't be waiting for you here now!"

Iwashita Shima squinted.

"Like right now..."

Then, the woman used both hands to pull Nekoyashiki Haru towards her.

"...I really do...hope that we can all stay together. And, can I join in too?"

Shima Iwashita spoke in a voice that Eliza and Kikuri Hiroi could not hear.

"?!"

Nekoyashiki Haru's pupils contracted, and the softness on his lips stunned him.

Eliza stared blankly at the scene.

"...Do you understand now? Don't waver!"

Iwashita Shima turned to look at Eliza.

"Just do what you're told! Don't run away!"

"…ah…"

Yes... I've already decided what I want to do...

Qing... is still waiting...

I absolutely cannot back down any further!

Eliza lowered her head and slowly took a step forward.

Iwashita Shima narrowed her eyes, then walked towards Hiroi Kikuri.

"you…"

Hiroi Kikuri looked at Iwashita Shima with a complicated expression, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

“…Xiao Qing…”

Eliza walked toward Nekoyashiki Haru.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru didn't speak; she remained silent.

"...Did I almost disappoint you again just now?"

"...Do you think I want you to use force?"

"I can't believe it," said Nekoyashiki Haru.

“…I know…Xiao Qing wants to hear me say that I have a firm will.”

Eliza took a deep breath.

"Well... listen carefully..."

Then, he shouted loudly.

"...I want to...fall in love with you!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru opened her mouth.

Even if you recover, I want to give you my all, everything I have, to love you... not just as compensation, but because I want to love you this way!

Eliza spoke with a firm tone.

"...What if I still disagree?"

"...I will come to you a second time, a third time, until Xiao Qing truly hates me!"

"...How do you know I don't dislike you right now? I might even hate you..."

"In that case..."

Eliza reached into her pocket, unfolded the folding knife, and handed it to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"?"

Feeling the object in his hand, Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly froze.

"...If you hate me, then leave the same mark on me...Take away my light, take away my color, it doesn't matter..."

"Are you kidding me!"

Snapped!

The knife was tossed far away by Nekoyashiki Haru as if it were something dirty.

"...So...they don't seem to hate me that much..."

Eliza stepped forward, getting closer and closer to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"I…"

"Please forgive me, Xiao Qing. It's okay if you don't want to. I will spend my whole life waiting, seeking the chance to be forgiven by you..."

Eliza said softly.

“Eliza…you…”

"...I want to get to know you again, to understand you again...to truly love you."

Eliza grabbed Nekoyashiki Haru's shoulder.

"I'm going to kiss him..."

Before the boy could react, Eliza leaned her face in.

Chirp…

Click!

The colorful gaps widened at this moment.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru fell silent, her pupils trembling, her lips contorted, before finally settling into calm, her whole body going limp.

"...I'm so unlucky..."

"Sorry…"

Eliza apologized.

"...A lifetime...it's a promise..."

Nekoyashiki Haru said each word seriously.

"You are mine for life now!"

"what…"

Eliza trembled, and her lips began to curve upwards.

"...I...I understand!"

A smile blossomed on her face.

Chapter 450 Forbidden!

"They really got beaten up badly..."

Looking at Eliza lying on the bed, Ichiji Nijika couldn't help but sigh.

"So what on earth happened?! Kiku-neechan, Shima-senpai, why is Eliza-senpai in this state?"

Yuuko Otsuki looked anxiously at the silent group behind her.

"...I...took it."

Kikuri Hiroi sighed and said.

"Eh?"

Yuuko Otsuki was stunned.

"...You...you hit me?!"

Kita Ikuyo, standing beside him, couldn't believe it.

"...Could it be that the conflict stems from an internal power struggle within [ck Hack]...?"

Goto Ichiri guessed.

"It's not impossible."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"Kitten, sister, Otomi-neechan, what happened?"

Ichi Nijika approached the three of them and asked.
