Lonely Rock for the Blind

In the corner, Goto Ichiri, who was already holding two children, slowly walked out.

The two children are white and plump, and it is obvious that they are well-nourished.

"I'm sorry, Ikuyo, she's just... too big... You can't do this kind of thing at the airport."

【Kita-san, please be a bridesmaid at the wedding. 】

...

“Nooooooooooooooo!!!”

"What's wrong?!"

Kita Ikuyo suddenly screamed, scaring the cat Yashiki Haru next to her so much that she jumped up from the sofa.

"What's wrong, Yudai?!"

Realizing it was Kita Ikuyo's voice, Nekayashiki Haru quickly asked.

“Aa ...

Then Goto Ichiri, who was also frightened, screamed at the same time.

"What happened to you again?!"

Nekoyashiki Haru, frightened by the scream again, looked at Goto Ichiri at a loss.

"Sorry for the hug...I'm fine..."

Goto Ichiri quickly shook his head, then looked at Kita Ikuyo with a little resentment.

“…No…it’s okay…”

Kita Ikuyo patted the breast pad on her chest to calm down.

My imagination has been getting stronger lately...

I'm already having these sudden, inappropriate fantasies just like Goto-san... But then again, why is she still single and having a baby? That's too wild!

But... that reality...

Kita Ikuyo looked at Goto Ichiri's chest with fear.

Even though the software isn't great, the hardware is way ahead of everyone else. If we just let it go...

Such a reality may not be impossible!

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide and stared at Goto Ichiri's chest with gritted teeth.

"Ugh?!"

Being stared at by crazy eyes, Goto Ichiri fell into hesitation.

What, what, what happened! ?

Why is Kita-san looking at me like that?

Goto Ichiri swallowed.

Snapped!

Nekoyashiki Haru gently tapped Kita Ikuyo on the head.

"Okay, I don't know what's wrong with you, but you should still practice hard."

"…Um…"

Kita Ikuyo nodded, then immediately stood up and sat in her own seat.

He quickly put on his headphones and hugged his guitar.

Alright... that's all! The senior speaker only has two ports, so that excludes Goto-san!

My practice time with my seniors was connected by speakers, and even Ijichi-senpai could only watch from the side!

"Ah, my speakers only have two jacks."

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively.

“Then… what should we do?

"Come here."

Nekayashiki Haru patted the seat next to him and took out a new pair of headphones from under the coffee table.

"We'll each have one. You're also Yudai's teacher."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

After all, Yili is a child who lacks confidence and is afraid of being alone.

At least this aspect still needs to be taken care of.

However, this scene once again caused the permanent smile on Kita Ikuyo's face to disappear.

Goto Ichiri looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with emotion.

That’s…that’s great. Haru has always remembered that I’m Kita’s teacher…that means he has always remembered my affairs.

Without much hesitation, Goto Ichiri walked over to sit next to Nekayashiki Haru, then took one side of the new headphones and put them on.

"I'm ready! Kita-san, let's get started!"

Goto Ichiri cheered on Kita Ikuyo.

"…ah…"

Kita Ikuyo nodded blankly.

Wearing the same pair of headphones... may be a normal thing among friends and family, but if it's between men and women of the same age...

What a vivid and ambiguous feeling!

Kita Ikuyo's hand holding the pick began to tremble.

This kind of thing... no matter what, I should be the one doing it!

Alas!

Why is it Goto-san! I'm actually losing to Goto-san in terms of youthfulness right now?!

Goto-san!

Senior too! Why are you so gentle to Goto-kun?

Do you really like big ones?!

Why why why!

Kita Ikuyo played the guitar with a sad face.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked up in surprise.

"Strange, why is there such a sense of sadness... and it's so appropriate..."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled at Kita Ikuyo.

"Maybe I can teach you erhu in advance. Do you want to learn?"

"Gu! I'll learn!"

Kita Ikuyo shouted with a bitter face.

Chapter 112: To the Poor Child

“It feels a little slow…”

Goto Ichiri took off his headphones and spoke softly.

"Well, a little bit, still lack of practice."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"You're usually quite hardworking, but today you seem a little absent-minded?"

"...Kita-san...after all, you've been practicing for a few months, so it's normal to feel a little tired."

Goto Ichiri said on behalf of Kita Ikuyo.

Kita Ikuyo, on the other hand, was holding a guitar and looking at the two of them expressionlessly.

Ah…what’s going on…

What's with this feeling of tacit understanding...

Goto Ichiri smiled shyly, while Nekayashiki Haru gently explained to her about Kita Ikuyo's usual study status.

"…senior…"

Kita Ikuyo interrupted the two of them, and Nekoyashiki Haru turned to Kita Ikuyo.

"what happened?"

"Well, I can continue."

Kita Ikuyo said with her head lowered.

"it is good."

Nekayashiki Haru put on his headphones again, and Goto Ichiri next to him also hurriedly put on his headphones.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo played the guitar and glanced secretly at the two people who were listening attentively.

"... "

We really have such good chemistry... But then again, why do I feel so uncomfortable?

Even when Senior Hong Xia leaned on me before, I wouldn't have such a big reaction.

So...is it really because of that sense of tacit understanding?

Normally it's teacher and student... but now it's teacher, teacher and student...

With the addition of a teacher, the distance between students and teachers has widened.

Are you feeling uneasy about the disappearance of this connection?

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

Why does the color in Yu Dai's guitar sound always feel a little off?

He clapped his hands.

"Yudai, wait a moment."

"Eh?"

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment, then put down the guitar.

"Well...um, is there something wrong?"

"I feel fine... better than the first time."

Goto Ichiri said quietly, while Nekayashiki Haru said after a moment of silence.

"Yili is right. Maybe I really need to rest for a few days."

Although he noticed that something was wrong with his emotions, Nekoyashiki Haru had no idea why or what kind of emotions they were.

"Yudai...is there something on your mind?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked cautiously.

"Huh? Ah...no."

"...Your voice lacks your usual sunny air."

“…What’s that sunshine smell…”

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment.
