Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Kita-chan, your performance at the cultural festival was amazing!"

A girl said to Kita Ikuyo.

"Thank you! I did practice for a long time."

Kita Ikuyo accepted the compliment calmly, and then started chatting with several people like a fish in water.

It was lunchtime and the break had just begun. After chatting with a few people for a while, Kita Ikuyo took out her lunch box.

Then he froze in the next moment.

"Xiao Xiduo? What's wrong?"

The girl who shared the table with her tilted her head in confusion.

"...Ah, nothing, nothing, I just suddenly remembered something else."

Kita Ikuyo stood up and picked up the lunch box.

"Sorry, sorry, I may not be able to eat with you today."

The red-haired girl clasped her hands together and said.

"it's okay no problem!"

The others shook their heads to indicate that it was okay.

"See you in class this afternoon!"

Kita Ikuyo said goodbye with a smile and then walked out of the classroom.

"... "

Arriving at Goto Ichiri's class, Kita Ikuyo pushed open the door.

"Ah, Kita-chan?"

The girl I met at the cultural festival greeted Kita Ikuyo with a smile.

"Looking for Goto-san?"

"Well, she's not here?"

"Well, Goto-san doesn't usually eat in the classroom. I don't know where he usually goes..."

"That's it."

Kita Ikuyo nodded and closed the door.

Then he walked towards the corridor.

"Where will it go?"

Rooftop?

No, although there are few people, there are still some, and the sun is too strong, Goto-san will not go there.

The back door of the school?

It's possible, but there will be people passing by the back door of the school at noon, and Goto-san's personality probably won't allow him to appear there.

That's indeed...

Kita Ikuyo walked down the stairs and turned under the stairs.

"Here I am... Goto-kun."

"what!"

The pink-haired girl who was discovered opened her eyes wide, and because she was suddenly frightened, her lunch box fell from her lap...

Then it was caught by Kita Ikuyo and handed back.

"Give."

"Thank...Thank you."

Goto Ichiri took the lunch box.

"How did Kita-san know I was here?"

"Hmm... maybe it's because we've been together for so long, so I understand Goto-san's situation a little better."

Kita Ikuyo sat down next to Goto Ichiri.

"It's really cold here. I didn't feel it when we first met. Is it because it's autumn now?"

"It should be...it should be a little colder in winter."

"It's a very dark little place after all."

Kita Ikuyo opened her lunch box.

"Ah, Goto-san, do you want to exchange dishes?"

"Eh? Can...can I?"

Goto Ichiri asked with a blink.

"Hmm, I'd really like to try the fried chicken in Goto-san's bento."

"Um…"

Goto Ichiri nodded slightly, Kita Ikuyo smiled gently, and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the fried chicken nuggets from Goto Ichiri's lunch box.

"…Why did Kita-san come to see me?"

Goto Ichiri asked, shrinking his body.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo blinked.

"Well, it suddenly occurred to me that if I hadn't come looking for Goto-san, he would have been alone again."

"Uh... I'm sorry, I don't have many friends at school..."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head.

Kita Ikuyo narrowed her eyes.

"Goto-kun is just not good at making friends. If you are willing to make friends, you will definitely have a lot of friends."

"... "

Goto Ichiri nodded slightly.

Kita Ikuyo opened her mouth.

"Um...actually, I want to talk to Goto-san."

"Huh? What?"

Goto Ichiri tensed, his blue eyes wide.

Kita Ikuyo smiled.

"Well, thank you."

"…Thanks?"

"Well, if it weren't for you, Goto-kun, Senpai would have left us."

Kita Ikuyo put down her chopsticks.

"... "

Goto Ichiri's cheeks turned slightly red.

"I... I'm not that powerful. Qing didn't want to leave anyway, so..."

"But if it weren't for Goto-san, we wouldn't have chased after Senpai that day."

Kita Ikuyo looked at Goto Ichiri.

"...Goto-kun is indeed a very capable person."

"Eh?! Me...me? Amazing or something..."

"Yeah, it's really amazing!"

“Hey… hey hey hey…”

Goto Ichiri felt a little flattered by the praise.

Kita Ikuyo sighed.

"Although I really want to give you a more substantial thank you, Goto-kun...but I'm sorry..."

Kita Ikuyo made a crying face and took out dog food from behind her.

"Dog food is really... expensive."

"Ah...how about I..."

Goto Ichiri wanted to take the wallet, but was stopped by Kita Ikuyo.

"Don't interfere, Ichiri! This is for the feeding of darkness and desire!"

"Huh? That serious?! Speaking of which... I, Ichiri?"

"Ah, after all, we've known each other for so long, can I call you by your name?"

“No…no problem…”

Goto Ichiri nodded excitedly.

"It's okay if you call me Kita, and then..."

Kita Ikuyo lifted the lunch box and held it to her face.

"I'll come see you at dinner time, or I can come see you at noon to practice guitar."

"Huh? Why…"

"Because Ichiri said he didn't want to be alone."

"!"

Goto Ichiri shuddered, then nodded.

"Thanks…"

"We are the ones who should say thank you and sorry."

Kita Ikuyo shook her head, then thought for a while and said.

"By the way, Ichiri, who do you think has a better chance of winning, me or Ijichi-senpai?"

"what?!"

Goto Ichiri was startled.

"Wha-wha-what?"

"Ah, after all, everything has been made clear... Regarding the two of us pursuing Senpai, who do you think Senpai is more likely to like?"

"me…"

Goto Ichiri trembled.

Are you forcing me to take sides?!

very scary! ! !

"It's okay, Ichiri. I was just asking. By the way, besides mature women, what kind of girls do you think Senior likes?"

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head in distress.

"How can I change something like my sexual quirk?"

"Well... I think Qing would prefer someone who can be relied on, right?"

"Ok?"

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide and looked at Goto Ichiri.

"Does Yili have any ideas?"
