Lonely Rock for the Blind

Kita Ikuyo said excitedly.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Nekoyashiki Saki nodded and said.

“…How long will it take?”

Yamada Ryo lowered her head, her golden pupils hidden under her hair, and she asked.

“…How long?”

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nekoyashiki Saki again.

"…Hmm…optimistically speaking, more than five years."

Nekoyashiki Saki said.

"Five...five years?"

Ijichi Hongxia's voice trembled.

Yamada Ryo continued to ask.

"Not optimistic?"

"10."

Cat House Sakimichi.

"!"

Kita Ikuyo took a step back.

"10...10 years?!"

"Well, it's been a bit long."

Nekoyashiki Saki sighed.

"So, after talking to Xiaoqing, he didn't seem too happy about it."

"unwilling?"

Ijichi Hongxia repeated it, then suddenly shuddered as if realizing something.

"Because..."

"Well, it's probably because he can't bear to leave you."

Nekoyashiki Saki said calmly.

"But...but the hope of regaining sight..."

Ijichi Hongxia spoke hesitantly.

“Is…it’s very precious, right?”

"It's great that you understand, Xiao Hongxia."

Nekoyashiki Saki sighed.

"The child seemed completely unaware of this and clearly didn't want to go with me."

"kitten…"

Ijichi Hongxia covered her chest.

"he…"

10...

Go to Germany...10 years?

It’s been less than a year since we reunited...and you’re leaving again?

Ijichi Hongxia felt fear.

An inexplicable fear of the future.

Kita Ikuyo took a few steps back.

Then he sat down weakly on his chair.

"Everyone, after listening to what I just said, you should understand, right?"

Nekoyashiki Saki said calmly.

"For that child, regaining his sight is the most important thing."

"...If he doesn't want to...is there nothing you can do?"

Yamada Ryo raised his eyes and asked.

"I won't force him."

Nekoyashiki Saki shook her head, then looked at Ijichi Nikka who was in a daze beside her.

"Xiao Hongxia? You understand, right?"

"?!"

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly came to her senses and looked at Nekoyashiki Saki.

"Little... Kitty should... go with Auntie..."

Don't say that...

"Going to Germany with my aunt...it's important to regain my sight."

Don't say it... refuse... maybe you can keep him...

"Um...Auntie, do you want us to...persuade the kitten?"

I've already said it...don't say it...

Nekoyashiki Saki narrowed her eyes.

"Little Hongxia is really smart."

Then, Nekoyashiki Saki stood up.

"That's exactly what I meant. Everyone, please help persuade that child."

Nekayashiki Saki walked towards the door of the rehearsal room.

"The child's hope of regaining his sight... shouldn't be lost. You are all smart children, so you understand what's important."

Cat House Saki walked towards the door.

"Xiaoqing is really lucky to have friends like you."

Click.

The door closed again.

"... "

snap…

The drumsticks fell to the ground on the drum set.

Ichichi Hongxia took a few steps back.

She suddenly felt very nauseous.

"…What do you…say?"

Yamada Ryo spoke up.

“…10 years…”

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head.

"What will I become in 10 years..."

"... "

Yamada Ryo glanced at Kita Ikuyo.

“…There’s nothing…to say.”

Ijichi Hongxia raised her head.

They both looked at her at the same time.

The blonde girl smiled.

"This is Kitty's chance to regain her sight!"

She stretched out her hand, which felt heavy and leaden.

"Everyone... let's work together to persuade Kitty..."

"Hongxia."

Yamada Ryo looked into Ijichi Kouka's eyes.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia avoided his gaze.

"…you…"

Yamada Ryo looked at Kita Ikuyo again.

Kita Ikuyo looked at Yamada Ryo and forced a smile.

"Indeed...indeed...restoring sight is obviously more important..."

Yamada Ryo opened his mouth and then gritted his teeth.

"Don't you two like him?!"

Yamada Ryo stood up.

"Ten years... No, let's say five years, five years! At that time..."

"So what..."

Ijichi Hongxia said tremblingly.

"Liang... that's the hope of seeing things again."

Red eyes focused on golden ones.

"Liang, understand?"

"... "

Yamada Ryo clenched his fists.

Chapter 164 Decision

Yamada Ryo never thought that the joke he made that day would come true.

Well, that’s not quite right. In fact, she felt that when Nekayashiki Haru said she was joking, there was something else behind his words.

But she didn't think too much about it, after all, it was just a "joke".

Yamada Ryo instinctively didn't want to think more.

Judging solely by rationality and sensibility, Yamada Ryo considers himself to be on the emotional side.

It's just a completely inspirational sensibility, I won't delve into it or think deeply about it.

Use your own standards to get along with others.

So Hongxia was actually right, I am indeed a person who does what I want.

Sitting on the chair, Yamada Ryo looked at the two people in silence.

They liked him very much.

Yamada Ryo correctly recognized this fact.

I like it very much, I like it very much, I like it very much.
