Lonely Rock for the Blind

Goto Ichiri took a few steps back as if he was seriously injured, but for the time being he did not fall down like before.

"what…"

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment, then immediately put away her smile and maintained a serious expression.

"?!"

Then Goto Ichiri leaned against the wall behind him as if he was injured.

"...Goto-kun can be really troublesome sometimes."

Kita Ikuyo sighed and tried to keep a gentle smile.

"Let's go, or we'll miss the train."

"it is good…"

Goto Ichiri nodded, then followed Kita Ikuyo towards the station.

Yamada Ryo walked to the other side.

"I'm leaving too, good night."

"Good night."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded in response.

"Good night, don't stay up late at night."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo disappeared into the night.

"Kitten, let me take you back."

"no need."

Nekayashiki Haru shook his head and asked.

"This is the gate to the stars, right?"

"Um…"

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

"Then I can just walk back by myself. Hongxia too, go back and rest early."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia remained silent.

It took a long while before he spoke.

"it is good."

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, how was the talk with Yudai?"

"what…"

Ijichi Nijina looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"We're just going to the bathroom."

"Do not believe."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"It's all right now, don't worry, Kitty."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"Then I'll feel at ease."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Ijichi Nijinka waved gently at Nekayashiki Haru, but when she realized that he couldn't see her the next moment, she slowly retracted her hand.

Nekoyashiki Haru's blind stick swept the ground, and a ticking sound was made by rubbing against the blind path.

Under the curtain of night, it gradually became the young man's journey home alone.

Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta, ta-ta...

The boy stopped.

The extra footsteps made him look behind him.

"cold?"

"You can tell by the sound of my footsteps."

"Well, I'm used to it."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Why do you always have to chat with me at the doorstep?"

"If you're not satisfied, I'll take you somewhere more formal to talk next time. How about a high-end restaurant?"

"That's not necessary anymore."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"Are you calling me to pay me back?"

"No."

"I think so too."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"So, what do you want to tell me in private, Miss Beth?"

"…Yudai and Nijixia have been getting along well with you lately."

"…Hmm? Haven't we always had a good relationship?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"I mean...wait a minute, I'll think about what to say."

Yamada Ryo began to rack his brains for words, but in the end he found that there seemed to be no euphemism.

Looking at the confused Nekoyashiki Haru, Yamada Ryo sighed as if giving up.

"Although your reaction is much slower because you can't see, I want to tell you..."

Yamada Ryo's voice was flat. After narrowing his eyes, he opened them as if he had made up his mind, and then spoke as if making a declaration.

"Hongxia and Yudai both like you."

Chapter 137 Why

Meow!

On the wall of the road, a black cat let out a sharp meow, then ran away following the small shadow of the little ball.

Under the wall beam, two people were facing each other.

"…What kind of new joke is this?"

The slightly frozen brain finally came back to its senses at this moment, and Nekoyashiki Haru scratched his ears.

"That's not funny, Ryo."

"This kind of joke won't be funny, I know it."

Yamada Ryo nodded and said.

"... "

Nekayashiki Haru was silent, then asked.

"So it's true?"

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"Did they tell you?"

Nekayashiki Haru then asked.

"No."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

“…No, I don’t understand. Why would you like me?”

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

"Nijiga... Just like we said before, I can understand it for now, but why is Yudai?"

"I do not know."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"…How did you find out?"

"When they're around you, the expressions and gestures you don't see...are obvious to me."

Yamada Ryo continued.

"I was singing love songs to you at karaoke today."

"...Isn't that what karaoke is all about?...Kikuri and the others often sing duets like this."

Nekoyashiki Haru was puzzled, and Yamada Ryo was stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head and continued.

"In short, it's different."

"... "

"Don't you believe it?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekayashiki Haru with an expressionless face.

"I half believe it. Half of it is because you are serious, and the other half is because I don't think I am that attractive."

Nekoyashiki Haru raised his head and couldn't help but purse his lips.

"So when exactly is it?"

"It should have been a long time ago. They should have had a conversation at the celebration party after our first official live performance."

"?"

The purple pupils behind Nekayashiki Haru's sunglasses widened.

Yamada Ryo continued.

"They should know that they like you."

"Is this what the quarrel was about?"

"should."

“…This is a little…”

"Isn't it unimaginable?"

Yamada Ryo asked.

Nekayashiki Haru was silent for a long time, then nodded.

"... "

Yamada Ryo clenched his fists lightly, then unclenched them.

"Maybe my guess is wrong. It's the same as pretending you didn't hear what I just said."
