Lonely Rock for the Blind

Nekayashiki Haru said, and then was elbowed by Ijichi Nikka next to him.

"What qualifications do you have to say that?"

"Oh... So it was Sister Xingge who told you about my meal?"

"Hmm, guess."

Ijichi Hongxia said unhappily, then opened the lunch box, picked up a piece of meat with a fork and put it to Nekayashiki Haru's mouth.

"Just to be clear, I made this last night and am just heating it up now because I worked late today and didn't have time to cook."

Ijichi Nikka said as Nekayashiki Haru reluctantly opened his mouth and bit off the piece of meat.

"It's okay, it's delicious."

“…Why do I feel like you haven’t even tasted it…”

"How could that be? I ate it all."

"It means you're just eating, not tasting... Never mind..."

Ijichi Hongxia sighed, and then suddenly remembered the existence of Kita Ikuyo.

Looking at Kita Ikuyo, he found that the red-haired girl was holding her chin with both hands, staring at the two of them blankly.

"Little Kita?"

"Huh? Ah! It's okay, it's okay. I was just daydreaming."

Kita Ikuyo smiled and put her hands down.

"You two have such a good relationship. Such intimacy is really enviable."

Kita Ikuyo looked at Nekayashiki Haru and then at Ijichi Nikka.

"Are you two lovers?"

"no!"

Ijichi Hongxia immediately retorted.

"No."

Nekayashiki Haruya also denied it.

When she heard Nekayashiki Haru's denial, Ijichi Nijika suddenly felt a little unhappy for some reason.

Nekoyashiki Haru continued.

"We're just childhood sweethearts, and we've only just met a few days ago. Hongxia is a worrier, and she became like this after she knew I wasn't eating well."

"Is that so? Then why don't you eat well, Senior?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered his head slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Ijichi Hongxia, who was standing next to him, immediately grabbed his face and stood up.

"Don't pretend to be asleep. I'm also curious why you're not eating properly."

"Yeah... that's right. It's troublesome. Besides, I'm not very particular about food. As long as I can fill my stomach, that's all I need."

Nekoyashiki Haru explained, and Ijichi Nijika's expression became even uglier.

"You haven't even eaten enough."

He grabbed Nekayashiki Haru's hand and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her pale and thin arms.

Ijichi Hongxia put one hand on it.

"You're too thin. You must not have eaten enough!"

Kita Ikuyo who was standing next to him came over.

"Wow, Senpai is so white."

“This is an unhealthy white!”

Ijichi Hongxia added.

Nekayashiki Haru gently pulled his hand back and rolled up his sleeves.

"So it's always like this, it's no big deal. Anyway, I will eat well from now on, and Hongxia doesn't have to bother coming here every day."

"No, I don't believe it."

Ijichi Hongxia shook her head and said.

Kita Ikuyo looked at Ijichi Hongka, hesitated for a moment and said softly.

"I think Ijichi-senpai can trust Nekayashiki-senpai. Nekayashiki-senpai will definitely eat well in the future. If Ijichi-senpai brings you food like this every day, Nekayashiki-senpai will definitely feel guilty."

"... "

Ijichi Nikka looked at Kita Ikuyo and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Xiao Xiduo, you don't understand. This guy used to only eat bread every day. Snack bread! At most, he would add a glass of water. I find it hard to believe that such a person will eat well in the future."

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly stunned.

Hiss…Have I told Sister Xingge about this?

How did Hongxia know?

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

"That's really unhealthy!"

"Is that right? Xiao Xiduo, as long as you understand..."

"Then I'll help Ijichi-senpai look after Nekayashiki-senpai from now on."

Kita Ikuyo said with a smile.

"…well?"

Ijichi Hongxia was slightly stunned.

"No... this is too much trouble for you, Kita-chan. It's not like you live next door to a kitten like me."

"So I just help out sometimes when I have time. We're in the same band, right? We should help each other! By the way, Nekayashiki-senpai is also in our band, right?"

"No…I haven't joined yet."

Nekoyashiki Haru said.

"That's my guitar teacher too, isn't it?"

Kita Ikuyo gave Nekoyashiki Haru a bright smile. Although she knew that the other party couldn't see it, Kita Ikuyo still did so out of habit.

"No, this is really too much trouble for you, Xiao Xiduo."

Ijichi Hongxia said a little panicked.

"Then I'll bring some food to Nekayashiki-senpai. During guitar lessons, Nekayashiki-senpai is so thin that he needs to eat more. He needs to eat snacks and meals as well."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia closed her mouth, looked at Kita Ikuyo who was smiling brightly in front of her, and finally could only sigh.

"Since Xiao Xiduo said so... then could you please help monitor whether this guy is eating well?"

"Okay! Oh, by the way, seniors, please add a line!"

Kita Ikuyo took out her cell phone.

"Hey? Does the kitten have line?"

Ijichi Nijinaka looked at Nekayashiki Haru and asked.

"I can use my phone too... I have Line and other apps, of course."

Taking out his cell phone, Nekayashiki Haru added the other two people's lines amid the annoying phone broadcast sound.

"Nakayashiki-senpai's online name is Cat."

Kita Ikuyo said in surprise.

“…because I can’t think of any other name.”

Nekayashiki Haru explained after marking the two people's lines.

"That's a cute name."

"Using a character from your last name as your online name is not cute no matter how you look at it."

Nekayashiki Haru said softly, and then heard the message from Kita Ikuyo.

[Hello, seniors!]

"Oh, it will be broadcast directly!"

"So I basically don't have many friends. Too many messages is too troublesome."

"That's right."

Kita Ikuyo nodded and seemed deeply touched.

“When there are too many messages, I don’t have time to reply. If I don’t have time to reply, some people will feel left out, which is sometimes troublesome in various ways.

"That's not what worries me..."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia on the side lowered her head and looked at her phone silently, without joining the conversation between the two people next to her.

"... "

Noticing that Ijichi Nikka didn't say anything, Nekayashiki Haru tilted his head slightly towards where Ijichi Nikka was probably.

"…Ugh…"

Then he sighed softly.

"Hongxia, won't you continue feeding me?"

"Huh? Ahh! I forgot all about that!"

Ijichi Hongka instantly put down her phone, picked up the lunch box, and stuffed the food into Nekoyashiki Haru's mouth.

“Eat it all!”

"it is good…"

Chapter 18 Truth or Dare

At 10 o'clock, the stars are shining brightly. Everyone who should be going to school has already gone, and there are only a handful of people left in this livehouse that has not yet opened.

"Haa~"

Nekoyashiki Haru yawned softly in front of the bar, and the sound of Ijichi Hoshige typing on the keyboard next to him suddenly stopped.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The sound of her typing on the keyboard slowly resumed, and she asked the boy next to her.

"Too many energy drinks."

Nekoyashiki Haru replied.

"I rolled around all night and didn't fall asleep yesterday. I only slept for about two hours this morning."

"Really? You want to sleep for a while now? Lie down here?"

Ichichi Hoshige said.

"No, no, no."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled and refused, then took another sip of the energy drink in his hand.

"My neck would break if I slept here."
