Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Oh! This is the blind stick... Uh... How do I open it?"

"Take out the wristband, the black cord, and hang it straight down. It will open by itself."

"oh oh!"

Kita Ikuyo followed Nekoyashiki Haru's instructions, and the next moment...

Click, click, click.

The blind stick was extended from a length less than the forearm.

"Ohhh! Amazing! It suddenly became so long!"

"...No, is there any need to be so surprised about this..."

"hey-hey…"

Kita Ikuyo smiled and then tapped the ground with her blind stick.

The metal head made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.

"Does Senior always carry it with him?"

"Well, for the blind, this is 'eyes'."

"Oh…"

Kita Ikuyo's voice suddenly became softer, and she secretly looked at Nekayashiki Haru.

The black-haired boy leaned against the wall facing her. Although she knew that the other party was not looking at her... and she didn't have the ability to do so, how could she say it, being faced like this, Kita Ikuyo still felt a sense of nervousness.

Her hand gently stroked the cane.

"Senior, you can't even use your phone like this..."

"Hmm? No, it's okay."

Nekayashiki Haru pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.

“There’s a blind mode, but it’s very noisy.”

Unlocking with fingerprint, Nekoyashiki Haru casually pressed on one of the apps.

【weather】

"Look, it's OK to order whatever you want. It's just a little time-consuming."

"Huh? Does the senior also check Instagram?"

“Why Instagram?”

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"I don't have it on my phone. After all, I don't use that thing much."

"That's it..."

Kita Ikuyo's voice was filled with a hint of regret.

"Uh…so I'm next now?"

Nekoyashiki Haru said as he opened the App Store.

"But Senior can't use it."

Kita Ikuyo looked up and said, but there seemed to be a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"You sounded regretful just now."

"Actually, it's because I'm on Instagram and I was hoping that seniors would give me a follow or something."

“Does my attention matter?”

"The blind fan is the first one."

“…You’re not going to brag to your friends about a blind person following you…”

"I won't say anything bad about you!"

"Why do you assume I'm worried about this?"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed and waved in the direction of what was probably Kita Ikuyo.

"Please help me register."

"Ah, okay."

Kita Ikuyo came closer.

I was startled as soon as my hand touched the keyboard.

【E——】

"Ugh... You scared me. There was a vibration."

"Should I turn off the blind mode for you first?"

"No, no, hehe."

With the help of Kita Ikuyo, Nekayashiki Haru successfully registered for Instagram in a short while, and in the girl's impatient operation, she successfully followed the girl's own account.

Nekoyashiki Haru's ears twitched slightly and he looked up.

Pochi was finally caught?

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head slightly, and then he felt something furry rubbing against his chin, and there was a fragrant smell, shampoo?

"what?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked subconsciously with confusion.

"My hair, sir."

Kita Iku said while cutting hair.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and spoke softly.

"Kita-san..."

"Just call me Kita."

"Well, Kita, you said you can't play guitar?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head.

"Um…"

"You're obviously practicing."

"Eh? How did you know that, Senior?"

"The marks of practice on the fingertips are proof of hard work."

"Huh? Ah! Um..."

Kita Ikuyo wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.

"You're not getting any better after practicing like this?"

"Hmm, I can't learn it... The sounds I make are all very low thumping sounds..."

"A thumping sound?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head in confusion.

Just when he was about to say something, Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo finally came over with Goto Ichiri.

"Pochi agreed to work."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"I was obviously scared and had no choice but to agree. After all, I even took out the landing net."

Ichichi Xingge sighed beside him.

"Oh, are you having an affair, kitten?"

Yamada Ryo said while looking at Nekayashiki Haru and Kita Ikuyo.

"What are you talking about..." "What are you talking about!"

Nekayashiki Haru and Ijichi Nijika spoke at the same time, but Nekayashiki Haru's tone was helpless, while Ijichi Nijika's voice was obviously much louder.

Ijichi Hongka walked forward and kneaded Yamada Ryo's cheeks.

"Don't play such silly jokes on Kita-san."

"Wuji Dori~ (I understand)."

Yamada Ryo nodded in agreement.

"Since we've already decided to work, let's get started... Ah, come here and change your clothes."

Ichichi Hoshige pointed to Kita Ikudai.

"Yes!"

...

……

.........

"Hmph~hmph."

Kita Ikuyo was humming a song and mopping the floor skillfully with a mop.

Unlike when she came, she was now wearing a black and white maid outfit.

The girl's already lovely face looks even more dazzling in the maid outfit.

"Not bad, you work really well."

Ichichi Xingge couldn't help but praise.

"Sister... why do you have this kind of clothes..."

Next to her, Ijichi Hongxia looked at Ijichi Xingge with a twitching mouth.

"Huh...huh..."

The cats Haru Yashiki and Ryo Yamada were standing side by side, purring softly at the same time.

"Hey! You two, the time you spent sleeping will be deducted from your wages."

Ijichi Xingge knocked on the table to wake the two people from their dreams.

Goto Ichiri slowly crawled out of the trash can in the corner.

Kita-san... so awesome...

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Kita Ikuyo who was humming a song and mopping the floor across from him with envy.

If...if I were like Kita-san, I would definitely become a super popular school idol...

Goto Ichiri cried and fell into unrealistic fantasy.

Snapped!

There was a sudden knock on the trash can, and Goto Ichiri was startled and looked quickly to the other side.

I saw Nekoyashiki Haru tapping the trash can gently with his blind stick.

"Mr. Nekoyashiki? What can I do for you?"

"It's nothing, the manager just asked me to teach you and Kita how to receive drinks."

"Huh? Why are you the one teaching us...?"

Goto Ichiri's doubts were simple. As Nekayashiki Haru was a blind person, it seemed better for the other two people to teach him.

"I wasn't slacking off during the day. I was also familiarizing myself with the facilities here. So, while I'm teaching you, I'm actually the manager checking my progress today."

Nekoyashiki Haru explained.

“Ah…yes…yes…”
