Lonely Rock for the Blind

Chapter 107 Begins

"Pochi, Kitty...please follow us closely..."

Standing on the left side of the "Wave Cat Group", Ijichi Hongxia said softly.

"Yeah, we'd be worried if someone ran around randomly. For example, Liang-senpai, who I don't know what he's doing right now, is a bad kid who ran around randomly."

On the right side of the "Wave-Cat Combination", Kita Ikuyo grabbed one of Nekoyashiki Haru's forearms and said.

"Ah... I found Ryo, right there!"

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide, and then saw the blue-haired Yamada Ryo swaying around in the Goya District, who didn't know what he was doing.

[Mom…this sister is so uncultured.]

【Don’t learn it. 】

Hearing the conversation between the mother and son coming over from Yamada Ryo, Ijichi Hongxia narrowed her eyes.

“…Let’s go check it out.”

As they got closer, Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Kouka were both speechless.

Yamada Ryo was dipping his hand into the white rice.

“…Are you a child…”

Ijichi Hongka stepped forward and pulled Yamada Ryo back.

"I think the pursuit of happiness has little to do with whether or not you're a child."

Yamada Ryo said.

"...Ryo-senpai is such a weirdo..."

Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but say.

"Hmm? Hmm~"

Upon hearing this comment, Yamada Ryo was puzzled for a moment, and then immediately showed a comfortable expression.

"...Xiao Xiduo, let me remind you, don't call this guy a weirdo, he will feel comfortable."

"Hmm~"

Because Ijichi Hongxia said "weirdo" again, Yamada Ryo snorted in comfort again.

"...Ryo-senpai, this is a bit disgusting..."

"Don't worry about it, she's just like that, just get used to it."

Helpless, Ijichi Hongka took Yamada Ryo away, and then she and Kita Ikuyo took Goto Ichiri and Nekayashiki Haru, who had been silent beside them, and walked towards the area where they could actually collect hot pot ingredients.

"By the way, are we just going to eat hot pot?"

Kita Ikuyo suddenly asked.

"Hmm? Any other plans, Kita-chan?"

Ijichi Nichina looked at Kita Ikuyo and asked.

"To be honest, eating hot pot in the summer is quite strange..."

Nekayashiki Haru suddenly spoke, and Goto Ichiri behind him quickly stepped forward to cover Nekayashiki Haru's mouth.

"?!"

"Qing... No... You can't raise objections after the group makes a decision. You will be isolated!"

"?"

Nekayashiki Haru was puzzled and patted Goto Ichiri's hand to signal him to let go.

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, then slowly loosened his hand, and then continued to hug the cat Yashiki Haru and said.

"Yes, be careful about your words and actions..."

“…It feels weird that you’re saying these things to me.”

Nekayashiki Haru said, and Goto Ichiri just silently put his head on Nekayashiki Haru's back after listening.

How should I put it, maybe it was because Nekayashiki Haru officially told him that he was his friend, when Goto Ichiri hugged him, he felt that his social phobia, which was comparable to a disease, was much better.

And... Qing smells really nice, like orange shower gel. The digital product smell I smelled before seemed to be the smell of clothes.

Well, I don’t dislike Goto Ichiri at all. On the contrary, I like him quite a bit.

Sniff… sniff…

Come to think of it…if my identity as a [Guitar Hero] is really discovered in the future, Haru, who is the object of my fantasy, will definitely be very angry.

But...but what if...I became a couple with Qing before this?

Goto Ichiri opened his eyes wide, as if a new world had opened up.

"... "

Feeling her back being sniffed, Nekayashiki Haru pursed her lips in a complicated manner.

Back on the other side, Kita Ikuyo has already put forward her own suggestions.

"Dark Pot! Let's play Dark Pot!"

She said with wide eyes.

"Wouldn't it be boring to just eat hot pot?"

"Sounds good?"

Ijichi Hongxia was thinking.

"…don't want…"

Yamada Ryo showed a look of disgust.

"Huh? Why?"

"I don't want to eat weird things!"

"Don't worry, there won't be anything weird. And since you're just here for free, don't ask for anything."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"Ugh..."

Yamada Ryo couldn't refute it and could only sigh in acceptance.

“…What is the dark pot?”

Nekoyashiki Haru asked doubtfully.

Goto Ichiri behind him raised his head and said.

"It's just... everyone prepares some ingredients, then turns off the lights while eating hot pot, eats the ingredients prepared by others without anyone seeing, and then turns on the lights to see what everyone is eating."

Goto Ichiri pressed his head against Nekayashiki Haru's back.

“It’s a high-end social game that can only be played with at least 3 friends!!!”

“…Is…that so…”

Sniff…

Goto Ichiri was still sniffing, and seemed to be getting more and more unscrupulous.

"Well, everyone, go to the supermarket and pick out some things. Then we'll meet here... Ah, Pochi... Hey, Pochi and Koneko will be in a group..."

Ijichi Hongxia announced that it was difficult for either of these two people to go shopping in a supermarket.

Goto Ichiri was slightly stunned.

"Hey...hey, Qing, let's be a team of two."

“…Ah…Hmm…”

Nekoyashiki Haru felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, of course not with Goto Ichiri herself, but with her behavior at the moment...

Goto Ichiri is still smelling...

It seemed that because Nekayashiki Haru showed no resistance, Goto Ichiri sniffed harder.

Goto Ichiri shook his head happily.

I feel like Qing and I have a bit of a partnership feeling...

I would be socially anxious without him, and I wouldn't be able to find my way without him.

Hehe...feels great...

And... maybe the couple's plan can really come true... I originally had no hope of dating someone of the opposite sex before I turned 30.

But...but Qing is really okay, right?

He doesn't look down on me and is so gentle to me. The most important thing is that I finally have a male of the same age who I can get along with.

And since he can't see... my normal transformed appearance shouldn't scare him... If anyone were to fall in love with me, it would definitely be someone like Qing, right?

I always feel so shameless...

But Goto Ichiri, who sees himself clearly, knows that this may be his only chance.

But...but, it’s okay to try!

...

……

.........

Cat House Haru's House.

After buying the ingredients, the group chose Nekoyashiki Haru's house as the place for the dinner.

After all, no other place is suitable, and the apartment of a single man who lives alone and has no bad habits has become the first choice for girl band activities.

click!

The pot was placed on the induction cooker and the soup base inside was already boiling.

"Um... just in case, let me ask first, does anyone have any specific food allergies?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked.

"I don't have any."

Kita Ikuyo said.

Goto Ichiri also nodded.

Yamada Ryo has no problem eating anything.

“…No cilantro.”

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"Oh yes... Kitty, you don't like cilantro."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled.

"But don't worry, there's no cilantro!"

After saying that, Ijichi Hongxia raised her hand.

"Then! Let's begin!"

Snapped! ! ! !

The lights dimmed, and the room fell into pitch darkness.

Chapter 108 Hidden Pot

In the pitch-black darkness.

Several people took out the ingredients they bought from the supermarket and put them into the hot pot one by one.
