Lonely Rock for the Blind

Yamada Ryo could understand.

So...if it's her.

If the person who fell in love with Nekoyashiki Haru was Yamada Ryo...

What to do at this time?

Selfishly leave it behind?

Or is it for his own good that you persuade him to go to Germany?

If it was Yamada Ryo who fell in love with Nekayashiki Haru... I would definitely... keep him, right?

Yamada Ryo is not good at thinking carefully.

She could only guess what she would do...

but…

After all, it wasn't me who fell in love with him...

Yamada Ryo raised his head, his golden eyes not looking at Ijichi Nikka or Kita Ikuyo.

But I was simply looking at the empty space.

He doesn't want to.

He was unwilling to leave because of us.

Then let him stay... This is his choice...

However, after losing my vision, my original dream was replaced by music, and what I pursued was actually false.

He has lost so much...what's the difference between that and being dead?

Once you lose your individuality, it's the same as being dead.

Once [died], the individuality is also lost...

I don't understand, I don't comprehend, it's too complicated...

It’s too complicated, too complicated!

I don’t even know what is right and what is wrong!

His dream is not music! He pursues something else!

So his personality is naturally there...

If you want him to get his [personality] back... you should let him regain his sight.

But this is not his wish!

His wish is to stay...

Yamada Ryo lowered his head.

Stay...why stay?

The golden pupils reflected the figures of Ijichi Nikka and Kita Ikuyo.

Because they both like him...

Because I promised I wouldn't leave...

That's why... I can't leave.

But if that's the case... aren't we just locking him in a cage?

Yamada Ryo never wanted to be bound by constraints.

I never thought about restricting others.

Her breathing suddenly became heavy.

Breathing rapidly and with difficulty.

"…cold?!"

Hearing the voice, Ijichi Hongxia looked back and wanted to go forward to see how Yamada Ryo was doing.

Yamada Ryo reached out to stop him.

"…fine."

"...Senior Liang..."

Kita Ikuyo gently called out Yamada Ryo's name.

“…I won’t say anything.”

Yamada Ryo raised his head.

Once again...

"Just you guys talk... I won't interfere in anything."

Once again, once again...

"Nekoyashiki Haru...will be back soon."

Once again... escaped.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia sat down on the chair.

"…Um."

The corners of Kita Ikuyo's mouth rose slightly.

"You two...don't be so sad."

Kita Ikuyo placed her hands on her chest.

"This is a good thing, so... don't be sad!"

10 years... just 10 years... maybe only 5 years... yes, just this little time...

It goes by so fast... so fast... Old people say that time flies by in the blink of an eye...

So quickly...

I'll wait for Senior to come back.

So it doesn’t matter.

Tears rolled down.

Wait a minute... I absolutely cannot tell my senior that I will wait for him... otherwise he will be even more reluctant to leave.

So... I have to face my seniors with a smile later.

Kita Ikuyo opened her mouth and spoke incoherently.

"Even if it takes several years, it doesn't mean we won't see each other again..."

“…Yes….”

Ijichi Hongxia also raised her head and forced herself to smile.

"We... must keep going, and then... in a few years, we'll impress the kittens who return!"

"... "

Yamada Ryo continued to lower his head.

"You two...life is so tiring."

"tired?"

Yi Dizhi Hongxia was stunned.

Yamada Ryo didn't say anything else.

Kita Ikuyo continued speaking.

"Wait a minute... How do I tell you, Senior?"

"The kitten doesn't want to leave because she cares about us too much, so... let the kitten know that we're fine!"

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

"Let the kitten know...we all hope he gets treatment and regains his sight!"

"Right...right...Senior still doesn't know what we look like, so...I...I also hope he can regain his sight..."

Kita Ikuyo gritted her teeth.

"Let him know that... I'm cute too... right?"

"…Um."

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

Silence fell between the two again.

Yamada Ryo opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

She sat there as if dead.

Ijichi Hongka's voice trembled once again.

"So... this is a good thing... a good thing..."

We just met not long ago...

A voice sounded in my heart.

I've been thinking about him for so long, looking forward to our reunion for so long, but now I have to give him away again.

Ah… 10 years… maybe he’ll get married and have kids in Germany?

You are such an idiot. Why don’t you just pretend to be ignorant?

The voice in my heart persists.

Out of the corner of her eye, Ijichi Hongxia seemed to see a little girl with yellow hair standing next to her.

I've already said... there's nothing we can do about it.

There is nothing you can do about it. Should you just keep the kitten because of your selfishness?

He shouldn't be blind for the rest of his life. I know better than anyone how important light is to him.

More important than you?

Definitely...better than me...

"Ijichi…senpai?"

Kita Ikuyo stared blankly at Ijichi Hongka.

Yamada Ryoya raised his head, his golden pupils trembling slightly.

"It must be... more important than me..."

Ijichi Hongxia talked to herself, tears flowing out like a dam. She lowered her head suddenly, and then wiped her tears hard with her hands, but as soon as she wiped, the tears continued to flow.

"Strange...it's obviously a happy thing, why are there tears..."

She continued to wipe it away vigorously, but the tears did not stop.

"I've already said that there's nothing I can do about it... I'll just accept it... and then I'll show a better side to the kitten next time, so..."

Ijichi Hongxia covered her eyes.

“Don’t cry…”

"...Ijichi-senpai..."

Kita Ikuyo took out a tissue from her pocket, handed it to Ijichi Hongka, and then took out another one for herself.

They both wiped away their tears silently.

dong dong dong...

The door of the rehearsal room was knocked at this moment.
