Lonely Rock for the Blind

"...Looking at it this way, maybe my guess is correct. Maybe without us knowing... they've already..."

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head.

"I think they haven't confirmed their relationship yet, otherwise they wouldn't come to Xiaomao right now to tell her they're leaving us."

Ijichi Hongxia retorted.

"It's probably more than friends...but less than lovers!"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo blinked.

"And Kita-chan, you said it yourself... Even if the two of us have crossed the line... you won't give up."

Ijichi Hongxia's face turned a little red.

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"I did say..."

"That's fine then...at least...at least it shouldn't be completely invincible now."

Ijichi Hongxia clenched her fists and said.

"Um…"

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"Although Kitty and she have already slept in the same bed..."

Ichichi Hongxia sighed again.

Then he grabbed Kita Ikuyo's hand.

"But at least, I hope Kitty can choose between the two of us!"

"…Ijichi-senpai?"

Kita Ikuyo pursed her lips slightly moved, then...

The yellow-green eyes narrowed.

Behind Ijichi Hongxia, a blue figure slowly walked out.

"Little Kita?"

Ijichi Hongxia was slightly stunned, then looked behind her.

Red eyes met golden eyes.

"…cold?"

"What...are you two talking about?"

Yamada Ryo asked calmly.

"We were just chatting about some little secrets."

Ijichi Hongxia scratched her head.

"What does it mean that Hiroi Kikuri and a kitten share a bed?"

Yamada Ryo asked.

"?!"

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide.

"Didn't you hear everything?"

"Yeah, I heard that."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"So answer me, what does it mean?"

"cold…"

Ijichi Hongxia frowned.

She didn't expect that Yamada Ryo would hear it.

Logically speaking, she doesn't want to interfere with people who are not involved in these emotional issues.

but…

"You don't have to worry about it for so long, Hongxia."

Yamada Ryo spoke.

"I've known for a while that you two were interested in kittens."

“?!”×2

Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nijinaka opened their eyes wide.

Yamada Ryo clenched his fists, and the image of Nekayashiki Haru scratching his left hand desperately replayed in his mind.

She actually knew that on the night when Nekayashiki Haru reassured her, he certainly hadn't thought of a solution either.

But Yamada Ryo still chose to believe him...because apart from this, Yamada Ryo seemed to be unable to do anything.

but…

"Can you tell me what it means to sleep in the same bed?"

"... "

Ijichi Nikka and Kita Ikuyo looked at each other.

“That’s literally what it means…”

"...Koneko and Hiroi-senpai are sleeping together?"

"Hmm...ah! But most likely nothing was done! Hmm!"

Ijichi Hongxia quickly added.

"...So what do you mean... Koneko likes Hiroi Kikuri, right? Or maybe she likes her more than she likes you guys?"

Yamada Ryo's voice was suppressed.

"Ugh?"

Kita Ikuyo felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yamada Ryo's voice.

"…Tell me, what does it mean… to choose at least one of you two?"

Yamada Ryo trembled slightly.

"…This is…"

Ichichi Hongxia spoke.

Yamada Ryo raised his head.

"You mean, Nekayashiki Haru, you don't even have the right to like whoever you want?"

"!"

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide.

Kita Ikuyo stepped forward.

"That's not what we meant..."

"That's what you mean!"

Yamada Ryo used a louder voice to drown out Kita Ikuyo's voice.

"You just think that because you two like kittens, the kittens have to like you two too? Is that what you mean?"

"No...I..."

Ijichi Hongka reached out, but Yamada Ryo dodged it.

The image of Nekayashiki Haru trembling replayed in Yamada Ryo's mind.

Then he gritted his teeth and roared.

"Is Nekoyashiki Haru some kind of fun toy?! Is that why you're fighting over him?! You don't even care about his wishes?! Are you trying to take away his Quirk?!"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo took a step back.

Ijichi Hongxia took a step forward.

"When did we say this? Are you twisting our meaning?!"

"Did I understand it wrongly? No!"

"You just misunderstood! We mean fair competition!"

"I didn't understand what you meant!"

"I have!"

"you have not!"

The voices of Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nikka roared one after another, and Kita Ikuyo watched the scene with trembling pupils.

“That’s terrible…”

Yamada Ryo turned around and prepared to leave.

"...You're the one...who's always been so terrible! And you even plagiarized my nickname for kitten!"

Yijizhi Hongxia shouted.

"?!"

Yamada Ryo suddenly turned around

"Plagiarism? You're talking about me?"

"What else? You keep talking about your personality! But in reality, you just do what you want! Do you know how much trouble you cause everyone?"

"Are you bringing up old issues now?!"

"Come on! Let's dig up the past!"

"you…"

Yamada Ryo was about to say what trouble Ijichi Kouka had caused him, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't say them.

My brain...can't seem to find...

"See, you've always been the one causing me trouble!"

"That's not a reason for you to treat Nekoyashiki Haru as a toy!"

"When did I ever treat a kitten as a toy?"

snap…

A strange noise interrupted the quarrel.

A touch of pink appeared in the corner of the wall.

The three of them were stunned at the same time and looked at Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri lowered his head tremblingly, and then spoke softly.

“…It’s time to…perform.”

Chapter 156: Loneliness (Yet)

"You haven't come back yet..."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed softly.

In the classroom, Goto Ichiri and Nekayashiki Haru were waiting for Yamada Ryo to come back with the two of them.

As a result, Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo did not come back, and neither did Yamada Ryo.
