Lonely Rock for the Blind

She cried out, and then fell silent.

“…You should know how to disinfect, right?”

"Won't…"

“…Give me your hand.”

"it is good!"

Kita Ikuyo's voice rose in pitch.

Nekoyashiki Haru gently held Kita Ikuyo's hand and poured the clean water over it.

"Watch out, I'm blind, I don't know if I'm falling on a wound."

Nekoyashiki Haru said a little unhappily.

"Ok, I know."

Kita Ikuyo smiled, but her yellow-green pupils didn't look at her fingertips at all.

Instead, he kept looking at Nekoyashiki Haru.

Ah... You're really worried about me... And you're angry...

It’s all because I don’t cherish my hands enough… hehe…

After Nekayashiki Haru rinsed the wound, he began to slowly apply iodine to Kita Ikuyo.

"... "

Perhaps because he felt that his tone just now was not very good, Nekayashiki Haru was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.

"Yudai, I was a little angry with you just now. I'm sorry."

"No...it was originally me..."

"Yes, it was your fault in the first place, but... maybe I'm meddling too much, but I'm still your teacher."

Nekoyashiki Haru faced Kita Ikuyo.

"For guitarists, hands are very important. If you don't disinfect them, it can be really bad if they get infected... In the future, no matter how small the wound is, remember to disinfect it."

"Um…"

"You're really worrying. All ten of your fingers are injured. Forget about practicing today."

"…good…"

Kita Ikuyo nodded slightly, then said dejectedly.

"...Then, Senior... after changing the band-aid for me, I'll... go back first..."

Your tone should be low...your voice should be small, like an abandoned stray cat that is about to freeze to death.

Kita Ikuyo thought to herself.

"... "

It’s a pity that the other cat is always so soft-hearted.

“…Take me to the movies again…”

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"If you don't find watching a movie with a blind person boring."

"it is good!"

Kita Ikuyo smiled with satisfaction.

Chapter 122: Easy to deal with (yet)

“Woo… woo… woo… woo…”

Listening to the low sobbing of Kita Ikuyo beside him, a drop of cold sweat ran down Nekayashiki Haru's forehead.

To be honest...it was really hard for him to get into the emotions when watching a movie as he could only listen to the lines and music.

I can only roughly understand that it is a romance film... probably?

Kita Ikuyo originally wanted to introduce Nekoyashiki to Haru.

As a result, I started crying halfway through my introduction. When I finally recovered and was about to continue, I started crying again before I could finish a sentence.

Nekoyashiki Haru was helpless.

Should I cry a few times too?

"Gu... Sorry, Senior..."

Kita Ikuyo recovered and began to apologize.

"I was crying all the time...I didn't even explain the plot to you..."

"Ah...it's okay."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head and pushed the tissue on the coffee table in front of Kita Ikuyo.

She was crying and wiping her tears with a tissue, but she just wouldn't put the tissue in front of herself.

He keeps coming over to get tissues. Is he too engrossed in the movie?

"...Senior... you still don't feel anything?"

Kita Ikuyo asked in a low voice.

“…No, just the dialogue and music…”

Nekayashiki Haru didn't continue talking, and Kita Ikuyo also understood what Nekayashiki Haru meant.

"Actually, I chose a movie that focused more on the dialogue and music... This movie itself is so moving it can make the audience cry."

"…is that so…"

Nekoyashiki Haru scratched his head.

"It's just... pretty ordinary dialogue, but the music is pretty good."

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment, then took out her cell phone.

"I even have a video of a blind person crying after listening to this movie!"

"seriously…"

Nekoyashiki Haru twitched his lips.

"Is it really that serious..."

"Wow... So, Senior isn't interested in romance or anything like that?"

Kita Ikuyo asked softly.

“…I really have no interest in this area.”

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Maybe if you play an inspirational movie or something, it will make me feel more touched."

"... "

Kita Ikuyo narrowed her eyes.

Not interested... As expected... If you want to take a new step with your senior, you have to make him aware of love first.

Kita Ikuyo suddenly took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

“I quite like romance themes.”

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo was a little dissatisfied with the somewhat perfunctory answer.

"senior…"

"Ok?"

Nekayashiki Haru was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Ah... that's really surprising... um..."

“…What’s so surprising about that?”

Kita Ikuyo asked.

Nekoyashiki Haru racked his brains.

"Thinking about it, Yudai initially said she liked kung fu movies, but it turns out she also likes romance movies. That's a bit of a gap, so I'm quite surprised, haha..."

"Ah... that's true."

Kita Ikuyo nodded, but immediately changed the subject.

"I actually prefer romance, huh."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru remained silent.

He was thinking about what Kita Ikuyo wanted him to say.

After about 3 seconds of deep thought, he spoke out.

"Yes... why?"

Phew…finally asked.

Kita Ikuyo breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, I actually quite long for love!"

"...That's it."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"…senior…"

Kita Ikuyo looked at Nekayashiki Haru with dissatisfaction again.

"Ok?"

Nekayashiki Haru was stunned again.

Huh? Do we want to continue this topic?

"So...what kind of person does Kita like?"

"If possible, I hope it's someone reliable."

Kita Ikuyo said immediately.

Do you realize that you meet this condition, senior?

"Ah."

I'm blind and the most unreliable. It takes me five minutes to go down 10 steps.

Seeing that Nekayashiki Haru was silent again, Kita Ikuyo pouted.

Normally, she would never show this expression, but there was only Nekoyashiki Haru here.

It’s okay for Kita Ikuyo to do many of her “inappropriate” things directly.

Because no one can see it except Kita Ikuyo.

She raised her upper body on the sofa like a cobra and stretched out her hands above Nekayashikiharu's head.

Just like that, he made a "cat ears" gesture.

Then she nodded contentedly and sat down again, but it seemed that her previous behavior had activated some kind of mechanism, and Kita Ikuyo's originally decent sitting posture changed again. The girl put her feet up and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

Listening to the series of noises around him, Nekayashiki Haru didn't care.
