Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Kikuri-senpai, you came early for your sake, right..."

"Ugh?"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Kita Ikuyo in surprise.

Kita Ikuyo stared blankly at Hiroi Kikuri.

"...Yeah... sort of. I have something to say to Xiaoqing."

Hiroi Kikuri lowered her head.

She thought about it all night yesterday.

Sure enough...what Xiaoqing's mother said does make sense.

Xiaoqing must seize this opportunity...

"Um, sorry, Jean."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Hiroi Kikuri. When she turned around, she saw a group of female high school students.

"Ah... This isn't a good place to talk."

Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head.

"Let's go talk somewhere else."

"Ah."

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"it is good."

Ijichi Hongxia also agreed.

The two followed Hiroi Kikuri to the back of a teaching building.

The darkness of the teaching building weighed down on the three of them.

"Kikuri-senpai and Senpai were living together before?"

Kita Ikuyo suddenly asked.

"Ah, because my rental apartment doesn't have a bathroom, so I occasionally like to use other people's bathrooms. Xiao Hongxia knows this, right?"

"Yeah, because he's been to my house too."

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

"Has Kikuri-senpai been staying at your senior's house recently?"

Kita Ikuyo then asked.

"Uh…"

Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head.

"Yes, yes."

"Um…"

Kita Ikuyo nodded, then suddenly laughed.

"Kikuri-senpai and the seniors really have a good relationship."

"After all, we've been friends for two years."

"Just friends?"

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head and asked.

"?!"

Hiroi Kikuri opened her eyes wide.

What…what do you mean?

Ijichi Hongxia also opened her eyes wide.

Why is Xiao Xiduo suddenly so aggressive?

Ijichi Hongxia quickly waved her hand and asked.

"By the way, what did Kikuri-senpai want to talk to Koneko about today? If it's convenient, it's okay for us to tell you."

"Ah... I'd better tell him this in person."

After all, I'm trying to persuade him to leave... I don't think it's appropriate to tell Xiao Hongxia and Xiao Hong about this.

“…It’s a little secret that can’t be told to us…”

Ijichi Hongxia lowered her head.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo also lowered her head in silence.

Hiroi Kikuri grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

Why does it feel a bit cruel not to tell them at all?

Or... give me a hint?

They'll find out eventually anyway.

Rather than waiting for the separation of life and death, I might as well get a preventive shot now.

"Ahem, you two, listen to me."

Hiroi Kikuri spoke to attract the attention of the two.

"Huh?"×2

They both raised their heads at the same time.

"Xiao Qing will most likely be leaving you soon. As you all know, all good things must come to an end. Be prepared to say goodbye properly when the time comes."

Hiroi Kikuri smiled as casually as possible.

“…Huh?” x2

Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Chapter 155: Xiuhua Festival (End) [Return]

“…Is this… a provocation?”

Kita Ikuyo twitched her lips as she watched Hiroi Kikuri leaving in the distance.

"...I...I don't know...She said the kitten was leaving us...and asked us to say goodbye properly..."

Ijichi Hongxia blinked.

"Why does it feel like it's saying, 'I'm going to take Xiaoqing away from you soon, so you can just cry your heart out!'?"

"Is this really a provocation?!"

Kita Ikuyo started to panic.

"Kikuri-senpai is truly an enemy!"

"Although we were prepared...how could the attack be so strong?"

Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nichina looked at each other.

"If you said you wanted to talk to Kitten today... you're not going to persuade her to leave us, are you?!"

Ijichi Hongxia said with trembling pupils.

"It's very likely...very likely!"

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"So... Kikuri-senpai has probably also discovered our feelings for Koneko? Otherwise, why would he provoke us?"

"That's right. No matter how unreliable and useless Kikuri-senpai is, she's still an adult after all! Even though we haven't met her often, she can tell how we feel about her!"

Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nijinka were both in a panic.

Although they regarded Hiroi Kikuri as an imaginary enemy from the beginning, both of them even imagined in their minds how to confront Hiroi Kikuri.

But when this happened, the two of them were instantly at a loss.

"I...Ijichi-senpai..."

Kita Ikuyo looked at Ichichi Nikka.

"Kita-chan..."

Ijichi Nikka looked at Kita Ikuyo.

...

……

.........

Yamada Ryo, holding a candied haws in his mouth, searches for the missing Ijichi Nikka and Kita Ikuyo.

“…I’ve searched all the stalls and can’t find any.”

Narrowing his golden eyes in annoyance, Yamada Ryo decided to go back and look again.

However, the back of the purple-haired woman in the distance made Yamada Ryo open his eyes wide.

"...Hiroi-senpai?"

Yamada Ryo watched Kikuri Hiroi leave the teaching building and then walk towards other stalls.

Yamada Ryo, who wanted to follow Hiroi Kikuri, noticed this place behind the teaching building.

“…Maybe the two of them are in here.”

Yamada Ryo walked towards the back of the teaching building.

Let's see if it's there...

"I...Ijichi-senpai..."

"Kita-chan..."

"Let's cooperate." ×2

The voices of Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Kouka rang out at the same time, causing Yamada Ryo to stop in his tracks as he was about to step into the teaching building.

"... "

Collaboration? What?

You? Collaboration?

Yamada Ryo felt his brain temporarily in a state of confusion, so he leaned against the wall.

Listen first...

In the distance, Ichichi Hongxia scratched his head.

"So, we're thinking the same thing."

Kita Ikuyo also sighed.

"I can't help it, Kikuri-senpai seems too strong..."

"After all... she's an adult, and what she looks like isn't the most important thing."

Ichichi Hongxia lowered her eyes.

"The important thing is... Kitty doesn't seem to hate her either."

"...That's right... Since Senior is willing to sleep with her, he must not dislike her. Or rather, he probably likes her very much."

Sleep together?

Yamada Ryo frowned.

What do you mean? Do Kikuri-senpai and Koneko sleep together?
