Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Black mask...OK."

Next is the black mask.

Kita Ikuyo walked out the door.

"Where are you going dressed like this?"

Kito Ryudai, who was holding the clothes, frowned.

"Ah...let's go buy something at the convenience store."

Kita Ikuyo nodded, then left with her guitar on her back.

Kitaruruyo blinked, and it took a moment for her to react.

"Wait?! Carrying a guitar to a convenience store?"

Outside.

Kita Ikuyo took out sunglasses from her pocket and put them on.

He took out the black and gold pick from his clothes.

Then he walked towards the street.

Don't worry about not meeting people, because those people will find you.

嗒…

In front, several rock musicians holding guitars obviously noticed Kita Ikuyo's presence.

Kita Ikuyo took the guitar off from behind.

"…Hey…"

boom!

Suddenly, several speakers were thrown out from the overturned trash can.

Chapter 178 Basketball

“…So I came after all…”

Carrying a bag, I was dragged by Kita Ikuyo to the school early in the morning to watch the weekend competition.

Sitting in the audience seats of the stadium, Nekayashiki Haru felt a little uncomfortable.

I always feel like there are a lot of people watching me...

It must be an illusion, right?

Thinking of this, Nekayashiki Haru straightened his back and tried his best to appear calm, his purple pupils fixed on the direction of the opposite field.

Is that person from our school?

[It looks so good...]

Which class are you from?

[Looks like he's blind? Did I see him holding a cane just now?]

[Do blind people also come to watch basketball? ]

The whispering sound was extremely noticeable to Nekayashiki Haru, whose perception was much sharper than that of ordinary people.

He really wished these people would speak more quietly.

That way he can just pretend he doesn't exist.

In the slightly noisy environment, Nekoyashiki Haru missed Kita Ikuyo a little.

Start the game soon...don't focus on me.

【Ah! Little Kita! 】

It seemed that the contestants were starting to play, and as a school star, Kita Ikuyo immediately attracted the attention of a group of people.

【Little Kita! Look over here! 】

【I will cheer you on! 】

Come on! Come on!

“…It’s quite popular.”

Nekoyashiki Haru said softly.

On the basketball court, Kita Ikuyo, wearing a basketball uniform and a ponytail, was waving her hands to her friends in the audience.

Then he stared at Nekoyashiki Haru with a smile.

"... "

Feeling an inexplicable sense of being watched, Nekoyashiki Haru hesitantly stretched out his hand and waved.

Probably looking at me...

Then he swung a little harder.

It seems like a greeting and also like encouragement.

"You got it?"

Someone behind him asked Kita Ikuyo.

"Not yet, I'm still working on it~"

Kita Ikuyo said softly.

"Eh? Is that the person Kita-chan likes?"

Another teammate asked.

Kita Ikuyo was slightly stunned, then nodded vigorously.

"Ok!"

"By the way, why did you want to invite a blind person to a basketball game? There must be other suitable places for a date, right?"

Someone else asked.

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment, then jumped lightly on the basketball court.

"Because you want to show off my awesome side..."

"Hey~ Then I'll pass the ball to you, Xiao Xiduo, later. By the way, how did he know you scored the goal?"

"You'll find out."

Pyr————

As the whistle sounded, the 10 people on the field immediately started moving.

The sound of basketball shoes rubbing against the smooth court, the slight breathing of girls playing basketball, and the sound of the basketball hitting the ground and bouncing.

There are also occasional cheers coming from all around.

Nekoyashiki Haru closed his eyes and began to concentrate on distinguishing the sounds.

As for Yudai...you should walk more lightly.

The sound of breathing is also a little different from others...

Amidst countless noisy sounds, Nekayashiki Haru slowly opened her purple pupils.

Then turn your head and face left.

Kita Ikuyo, who was dribbling the ball, quickly caught Nekayashiki Haru's face facing her out of the corner of her eye.

"Hey…"

Found me... so fast...

With a chuckle, Kita Ikuyo's dribbling speed suddenly increased.

Sizzle——

The harsh sound of basketball shoes rubbing against the court was like a charge horn.

When she thought that Nekayashiki Haru was watching her from behind, Kita Ikuyo felt much lighter.

The basketball spun suddenly in his hands, passed the defense, and Kita Ikuyo started to make a layup.

boom!

Pyr————

The whistle sounded.

Bang bang bang!

Nekoyashiki Haru clapped her hands.

Then it stopped after only two takes.

"... "

Why is no one around clapping?

Cold sweat ran down Nekayashiki Haru's forehead.

Wait…can’t we applaud during basketball games?

Why didn't you say anything? Is basketball such a quiet game?

Ugh… It feels so awkward to clap alone…

But it should have been Yudai who scored the goal just now...

It still needs encouragement.

Nekayashiki Haru hesitated for a moment, then raised his hands and clapped.

Then after a few seconds, applause from others also broke out.

【Little Kita! Little Kita! 】

【Xiao Xiduo is so awesome! 】

The belated applause and cheers made Nekoyashiki Haru breathe a sigh of relief.

Did I just react too quickly?

On the field, Kita Ikuyo, who had just scored a goal, put one hand on her hip and looked at Nekayashiki Haru, who had just gone from clapping to hesitating and then clapping again.

“So cute…”

"Stop looking at your little boyfriend! Keep playing."

A teammate passing by whispered a reminder.

"I haven't forgotten. I'm not a boyfriend. My senior and I haven't confirmed our relationship yet, and he's my senior."

"It's up to you, just don't lose the game."

"it is good!"

boom…

boom…

boom…

boom…

Kita Ikuyo's continuous charging goals almost tore the opponent's team apart with ease.

"Xiao Xiduo is so scary today?!"

Someone on the opposing team who knew Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Don't sigh! Here we go again! It's the last ball!"

Kita Ikudai carried the basketball, and his speed gradually increased.
