Lonely Rock for the Blind

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was silent for a moment, then nodded his cane, as if to emphasize his blind identity to Ijichi Seika.

"... "

However, Ijichi Hoshika said nothing, and Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Alas, if you really want me to come, I can't help it. After all, it's Sister Xingge's request."

Nekoyashiki Haru pretended to be a little disappointed and said this, and Ijichi Hoshige was slightly stunned.

“…That’s not what I meant…”

She shook her head and said, her red eyes glancing at Nekayashiki Haru's slender hands.

"Oh? That's not what you meant? You really still want to be alone with me? Sister Xingge really likes me~"

Nekoyashiki Haru said in a joking tone.

"!"

Ijichi Hoshige suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart and looked at Nekayashiki Haru with dissatisfaction.

"Be serious."

"Isn't it proper?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head slightly.

"... "

Ijichi Hoshige remained silent, and Nekayashiki Haru blinked slightly under his sunglasses.

"Okay, I'll be serious."

Nekoyashiki Haru made a zippering motion in front of her mouth.

"... "

Ichichi Xingge took a deep breath.

"I just brought you out to familiarize yourself with the place. Don't think too much about it."

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled and nodded.

Ijichi Seika looked at the smiling cat named Haru Yashiki beside her.

Why does this guy seem so happy... He's not like this when he's hanging out with the guys from the End Band.

Ichichi Xingge drooped her eyelids.

This guy said before that he is obsessed with age, can’t that be true? No, no, no... Even if he is obsessed with age, he can’t be obsessed with me, right?

I am 12 years younger than him!

Shouldn't...

Yidizhi Xingge suddenly felt a little uneasy.

...

……

.........

"Fanxing usually purchases equipment here."

Stopping in front of a second-hand audio store, Ijichi Hoshige said to Nekoyashiki Haru next to her.

"Sister Xingge, do you usually come here alone to buy things?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"No, sometimes pa comes alone."

Ijichi Hoshige said as she pulled Nekoyashiki Haru into the store.

"So what do you want to replace it with?"

"Audio."

Ijichi Hoshige said as she started to pick out the speakers.

"The audio system of Fanxing should still be working well?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

“But you can add a few more…”

Ichichi Hoshige nodded and said.

Nekayashiki Haru nodded and said after a moment of silence.

"Sister Xingge has really changed a lot."

"... "

Ichichi Hoshige said nothing.

Nekayashiki Haru continued.

"Back in the day, when I worked part-time at a music store, I'd sometimes borrow the owner's guitar to play. If someone tried to buy it, I'd try to get them to give it up. Ochanomizu Demon King? I think I had a nickname like that back then."

"... "

Ijichi Hoshige looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with a slightly blushing cheek.

"What are you planning to do by bringing up these old things..."

"Are you sighing? The former big devil has now become a frugal store manager."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"Actually, I was quite surprised when I met you again, Sister Xingge. You're completely different from your usual carefree self."

“…People change.”

"Yeah, but Sister Xingge has undoubtedly become more attractive."

Nekayashiki Haru smiled and touched the speaker next to him.

"?!"

Ijichi Hoshige looked at Nekoyashiki Haru, her red eyes trembling slightly.

Shaking her head, she took a deep breath and then asked.

"By the way, Qing, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Huh? Are you going to fire me?"

"No, just chatting."

After Ichichi Xingge finished speaking, he stopped selecting the speakers.

"...Um...I haven't had any ideas yet."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head and added.

"If nothing unexpected happens, wouldn't it be nice to continue staying with Sister Xingge?"

"... "

Ichichi Xingge was speechless.

Why do I feel like... he is really interested in me?

No, no, no, it’s an illusion, an illusion!

"Well, an illusion."

Ichichi Xingge nodded vigorously.

Chapter 103: The one he likes is not his sister but me?!

In Ijichi Hoshige's memory, Nekoyashiki Haru has always been a very well-behaved child, even more well-behaved than Ijichi Nikka.

She would help with whatever she was asked to do, including taking care of her younger sister, and Nekayashiki Haru would take care of all the troublesome things. At that time, she could continue to practice and perform with the band, and then hang out on the street.

I remember that it was when I failed a test and had to repeat a grade, and Ichichi Xingge's status at home plummeted for a short time, and Ichichi Hongxia was still making faces at herself.

The only one willing to comfort him was Nekoyashiki Haru.

Although I continued to fail the exams and had to repeat the grade.

Ijichi Hoshika believes that Nekoyashiki Haru is the gentle type who obeys most people in everything.

But is it possible... that he is gentle only to me?

No, no, no…it can’t be that absolute.

In short, what Ijichi Hoshige meant was...could it be that Nekayashiki Haru has some special feelings for her?

Of course, that was just the fantasy of an adolescent girl. Maybe I was a little obsessed with politics at that time?

The fact that the object of my fantasy is a child 12 years younger than me seems to be very telling.

However, Ijichi Xingge didn't take these things to heart at the time. It was just a fantasy and it didn't matter.

I'm already playing rock music, so why should I care about these things?

Ijichi Hoshige didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt... but that was only in the past...

Times have changed and the boy has become a teenager.

The girl is already an old woman.

Of course, the current Ichichi Hoshige is definitely not ***.

…so.

and so…

So why am I thinking about the past again? ! ! !

Suddenly, I recalled that I once had fantasies about Nekayashiki Haru's feelings for me, and shame came over me like a tide.

Ijichi Xingge's head slammed against the speaker in front of him.

Dong~~~

Forget it! Forget it!

Don't forget what you're here for!

"Sister Xingge?"

Hearing the strange noise, Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head.

"What's wrong?"

"…fine."

Ijichi Xingge raised her head and forced herself to calm down.

"Qing...you're not young anymore..."

Ichichi Xingge suddenly asked.

“…Huh? I’m only 17.”

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head in confusion.

"How can a high school student be considered 'not young'?"

"No…I mean…"

Ichichi Hoshige's hand reached out to the other speakers.

"It's just... think about it, you've already entered society now, right? It's better to experience and try some things."

"...Sister Xingge, what on earth do you want to say..."

Nekoyashiki Haru asked with a frown.
