Lonely Rock for the Blind

Kita Ikuyo covered her head and stared blankly at Ichichi Hongka.

"You're still calling me senior. We're love rivals now, so why are you calling me so respectfully?"

Ijichi Hongxia withdrew her hand, supported her hands at her sides, raised her head and asked.

"...Ijichi-senpai is the same, right? You call me Kita-chan. Why are you so affectionate?"

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head, then glanced at Ijichi Kouka and asked.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia didn't say anything, but after a moment of silence, she brought the topic back to the beginning.

"So it was intentional. It's no different from self-harm."

"There's a difference! I wasn't created to create wounds!"

"It's not that bad, is it? Just practice guitar until you get wounds."

Ijichi Hinikaka looked down at Kita Ikuyo with her red eyes.

"Xiao Xiduo, this is really too much."

"... "

"Both the way you made the kitten worry like that and the way you got her attention were too much."

Ijichi Nikka grabbed Kita Ikuyo's hand.

"You're a guitarist, and as a guitarist, you're deliberately hurting your fingers."

Ijichi Hongxia's red eyes sharpened and her tone became stern.

"So stupid!"

"!!"

Kita Ikuyo was startled and opened her mouth to say something but the words didn't come out.

Come to think of it, it seems like I haven’t been scolded like this for a long time?

She opened and closed her mouth, as if brewing something, and finally spoke through gritted teeth.

"...Ijichi-senpai...are you not in a hurry at all..."

"... "

Ijichi Hinikaka didn't say anything, just looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"Or isn't Ijichi-senpai afraid? Aren't you afraid that I'll snatch you away first?!"

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists on her knees.

"I'd be scared, I'd be terrified, I'd be worried that Ijichi-senpai would take you down first! What would I do then? Now that I've thought about this, I have to take some action."

Kita Ikuyo's yellow-green eyes stared at Ijichi Nikka's red pupils.

"Ijichi-senpai, aren't you afraid?! Ijichi-senpai, aren't you afraid that I'll snatch you away first?!"

"Am I so non-threatening in the eyes of Ijichi-senpai? Or is it that Ijichi-senpai's love for his seniors is only that level..."

Snapped!

Ijichi Hongka reached out and covered Kita Ikuyo's mouth.

Kita Ikuyo was stunned.

"No questioning is allowed in this regard."

As Ijichi Hongxia spoke, her voice was suppressed in her heart, and only a little bit of her body emerged. Hearing this, Kita Ikuyo's heart trembled slightly.

"No matter what... it's wrong to hurt yourself..."

"!"

Kita Ikuyo took Ijichi Kouka's hand away and spoke.

"If the seniors are about to be snatched away, why bother with all this?"

"You can't hurt yourself!"

"Why not?!"

"No means no!"

"Then what would you do if I snatched Ijichi-senpai away from you, senpai?"

"I…"

Ijichi Hongxia subconsciously wanted to say that she would not act in an extreme way.

But the words couldn't come out of my mouth.

She simply couldn't imagine Nekayashiki Haru and Kita Ikuyo together.

No, it’s not that I can’t, it’s that I refuse.

Refuse to think about that picture.

If that time really comes, what will I do?

Ijichi Hongxia actually didn't know either.

"...Look...Ijichi-senpai."

Kita Ikuyo said.

"Love is war, it's the same for everyone."

The red-haired girl's voice was full of matter-of-factness.

Because everyone was like this, she asked all her friends except those in the band, those who were familiar with this and those who were not, and their answers were the same.

Love is war.

Selfishness and possessiveness are the main themes.

So... even if I have to use such despicable means to hurt myself...

"No wonder Xiao Xi wants to be unique."

Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

"?"

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment and looked at Ijichi Nikka.

"Everyone is like this, everyone says this, so it's natural to assume that I am like this too. I won't comment on normal views on love, and I don't think they are wrong, but... "

Ijichi Hongka grabbed Kita Ikuyo's hand, but the drummer's strength made it impossible for Kita Ikuyo to break free.

"You're using this kind of thing that everyone takes for granted as an excuse to avoid your own mistakes. You're more cunning than I thought, Kita-chan!"

"?!"

"Let's put it bluntly! Is there any necessary connection between love being war and you hurting yourself? Don't you have any other options? Then I think Kita-chan is indeed nothing to be afraid of, because a kitten wouldn't like a girl who doesn't even care about her own health!"

"You...are...talking nonsense!"

Kita Ikuyo said anxiously.

"I admit, if you really took the kitten away from me, I might actually do something extreme... but definitely not by hurting myself..."

Ijichi Nikka reached out her hand to Kita Ikuyo.

"bring it on."

"Come...what?"

"Last time, Xiao Xiduo confessed to me that he was competing fairly. This time, Xiao Xiduo and I have three rules."

Ijichi Hongxia raised her head.

"First, you are not allowed to attack the kitten by harming yourself during competition!"

"Secondly, don't cause trouble to the other band members or make them worry!"

"third…"

Ijichi Hongxia was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.

"In the end, no matter who the kitten is with, our band will continue..."

"...Ijichi...senpai?"

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head, as if she couldn't understand.

"...I care about this band. Pochi needs this band. Ryouzumi is in this band, and Koneko is looking forward to the band. Kita-chan, you... understand, right?"

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"Can't let the band end."

Then he stretched out his hand and looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"So, coming?"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo pursed her lips.

She reached out and gently touched Ichichi Hongxia's hand.

Then hold it gently.

"…Um."

Chapter 131 Karaoke

“Ah… here it comes.”

Yamada Ryo raised his head and looked at the two people who were walking towards the three people.

Goto Ichiri raised his head and looked at the two people who were walking towards him with smiles on their faces.

"Let's go! Let's go to karaoke."

Ijichi Nikka pulled Nekoyashiki Haru up from the chair.

Yamada Ryo, who was standing by, suddenly patted Ijichi Hongka on the shoulder.

"That bakery has been sending me bait and I want to criticize them."

“…criticize what?”

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Yamada Ryo with calm eyes.

At this point, she no longer expected Yamada Ryo to say anything pleasing.

Saying "Have a long-lasting marriage" at his future wedding with Kitty is the pinnacle of Yamada Ryo's language skills.

Ijichi Hongka has nailed down the upper limit of Yamada Ryo in her heart.

"Spreading this fragrance everywhere is so inconsiderate of public places. I'll try it. If the taste and fragrance don't match, I'll definitely eat it whole... No, criticize."

"You've been blabbering for so long, you just want to go eat."

Ijichi Hongka took out her wallet from her pocket, took out a few banknotes and put them in Yamada Ryo's hand.

“Buy me a box of eclairs…”

"Ah."

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the others.

"What do you three want?"

The three of them shook their heads.

Ijichi Nijinaka said while looking at the cat Yashiki Haru who was shaking the most vigorously.

"I'm not asking you again, Kitty."

Ijichi Nikka crossed her arms and said to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Puff will give you a few."
