Lonely Rock for the Blind

It's a good thing to let go.

To be honest, he wondered if Kita Ikuyo was under increasing pressure recently?

Although I don’t know exactly what happened.

But whether it's someone who suddenly starts talking about love as if it were a best friend, or someone who is playing the piano so abstractly that all ten of her fingers get injured.

All of this made Nekayashiki Haru realize one thing.

That is, Kita Ikuyo may be under too much pressure, and this is the only way to explain her recent series of strange behaviors.

After coming to his senses, he began to wonder if Kita Ikuyo's bullet wounds on all ten of her fingers were intentional...

It's really strange that all ten fingers were injured.

Self-harm?

Nekoyashiki Haru became worried.

Is it because of something that's stressful? The band? Or something else?

Let's find a chance to talk to Hongxia tomorrow and go out with a group of people to relieve some stress...

As a teacher, I also have to shoulder my responsibilities.

In other words... to relieve Kita Ikuyo's stress...

Nekoyashiki Haru secretly made up his mind.

Just ask her directly why it feels totally wrong and praise her more.

Anyway, Yili will definitely fall for this trick. They are all high school girls, so let’s give it a try first.

"Cough cough."

Nekayashiki Haru suddenly coughed, attracting the attention of Kita Ikuyo who was choosing the next movie next to her.

"... "

Knowing that this was an attempt to attract her attention, Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

Then he put down the TV remote and waited for Nekayashiki Haru to speak.

"...Yuyoro...um...you really are very sunny and cheerful...hmm..."

"what?"

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head.

Nekayashiki Haru pondered for a moment, then continued.

"What I mean is, Ikuyo must be a very cute, powerful, and energetic girl who can bravely move forward no matter what difficulties she encounters, right?"

"?!"

Kita Ikuyo's yellow-green eyes suddenly widened.

Why are you suddenly saying this?

“We may encounter some obstacles or setbacks now, but we will definitely be able to overcome them in the future!”

Nekoyashiki Haru gave a thumbs-up.

"…Um…"

Kita Ikuyo nodded, not quite understanding.

"You've been a little stressed lately, haven't you?"

Nekoyashiki asked.

"A little... a little?"

I haven't started dating my senior yet, so the pressure is so high...

"Well, I don't know the specific reason, but Yudai, if you encounter any difficulties, it's okay to come to me or Hongxia and the others. Everyone in the band helps each other, and as your teacher, I will also help you."

Nekayashiki Haru said after a moment of silence.

"So, please don't do anything that might harm your body, okay?"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo blinked, then looked down at her fingers.

Ah…did you realize I did it on purpose? But I don’t seem to realize why I did it on purpose…

Is it understood that you are under a lot of pressure and are relieving stress through self-harm?

Kita Ikuyo immediately understood Nekoyashiki Haru's mental journey and then approached Nekoyashiki Haru.

She lay directly on the boy's legs.

"!"

Nekayashiki Haru was startled, but after hesitating for a while, he did nothing and just let Kita Ikuyo lie there.

"My legs are a little stiff, Senior..."

Kita Ikuyo said.

"Shall I get you a blanket? That should make you more comfortable."

"No, I just like it harder."

Kita Ikuyo gently patted Nekayashiki Haru's belly, feeling the boy's stiffening body.

Senior... is so easy to deal with.

Chapter 123 Died Again

Stars.

Nekayashiki Haru was yawning in front of the bar as usual, and Ijichi Hoshige was walking aimlessly in her shop. Pa-san next to Nekayashiki Haru smiled helplessly and asked the boy.

"Here we go again. Why do I feel like you've been yawning a lot lately?"

"I just wanted to fight in the afternoon. Anyway, what time is it now?"

"They're coming soon, no need to ask."

Pa-san smiled.

"Mr. Poison Cat really values ​​this fledgling band."

"…Ugh…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed. At this point, she was too lazy to say anything. She told him not to call him "Poisonous Cat" because it was too childish. She still had to call him that.

Nekoyashiki Haru lit the table.

"I feel like Yudai is under a lot of pressure lately."

"Oh? Then the child will still be stressed?"

Pa-san asked.

"Of course... I even suspect she's started self-harming."

"so serious?!"

Pa-san's eyes widened.

"It's just speculation...but the behavior is definitely much weirder than before."

"Maybe you're thinking too much."

Ichichi Hoshige walked over and said.

Nekayashiki Haru asked after hesitating for a moment.

“…Sister Xingge…why do you keep walking around behind us?”

"…Why…do you have any problem with my shop?"

Yidizhi Xingge said in a deliberately unpleasant tone.

She has decided to try not to show her tenderness, as it would be terrible if Nekayashiki Haru confessed his feelings to her accidentally.

She really wouldn't know what to do then.

If I agree, I will hurt Hong Xia. If I don't agree...

Wouldn't that...wouldn't that hurt Qing?

Thinking of this, Ijichi Xingge subconsciously began to twirl her hair with her hands.

Pa-san looked at Idi Chixingge and his mouth twitched.

I had asked Nekayashiki Haru before at the izakaya, and it was basically confirmed that he didn't actually have that kind of feelings for Ijichi Seika.

So now, Ijichi Hoshika's behavior of deliberately not sitting with Nekayashiki Haru and instead walking around in the back to distance herself from Nekayashiki Haru is really a bit...

Is this just wishful thinking? Wouldn't that be too hurtful to the store manager?

Pa-sang patted the seat next to him.

"Manager, I know you need to move around as you're old, but you've been walking for an hour, so why don't you sit down?"

Pa-san patted the stool next to him again and emphasized.

"Beside me."

"... "

Ijichi Xingge, who was indeed tired from walking, sat down silently next to Pa-san.

The previous order was Nekoyashiki Haru, Ijichi Hoshika, and Pa-san.

The current order is Nekoyashiki Haru, Pa-san, and Ijichi Hoshika.

Ichichi Xingge twisted her body as if she was a little uncomfortable.

Pa-san sighed as he watched this scene, then took out his cell phone, typed on the chat software, and then showed it in front of Ichichi Xingge.

[Stop imagining this, the cat-man doesn't like you.]

Ijichi Xingge was stunned for a moment when looking at the chat history, then opened his eyes wide.

"you…"

He suddenly stopped talking, took out his cell phone and started typing.

After beating, show it in front of pa-sang.

[How do you know he's not interested in me? The last time he talked to me, his criteria for choosing a partner were practically tailor-made for me.]

"... "

Pa-sang was silent.

Sure enough, I've been single for too long and am starting to show symptoms of Alzheimer's...

She lowered her head to type, then showed it to Ichichi Xingge after she finished.

[Actually, many people can meet your standards.]

But he told me.

【Isn’t this what you talked about with others? 】

"... "

Ijichi Xingge fell silent, and Pa-san had a victorious look on his face.

"Ugh…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

He knew that the two people were communicating on their cell phones behind his back, after all, the keyboard sounds on both of their phones were turned on.

Nekayashiki Haru stood up from the bar and sat down at the table behind him.

"Ugh?"

Pa-san was stunned for a moment, then took out Pocky.
