Lonely Rock for the Blind

“…You’re really too socially anxious…”

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"The other two haven't arrived yet?"

Nekayashiki Haru asked, and Kita Ikuyo nodded after hearing it.

"Yes, the other seniors haven't arrived yet, so we came early today."

"Really? Then Kita should take this opportunity to practice."

"Yes! Nekayashiki-sensei! Ah... Goto-sensei, please hurry back from that world too."

Kita Ikuyo said as she looked at Goto Ichiri who was standing next to her and whose style was distorted and seemed to be completely different from hers.

"Ah! Yes... I understand..."

Goto Ichiri came to his senses and took out his guitar.

"Well... well... Kita-san, please sit down first, take off your guitar bag, and then unzip it. It's the silver-white strip..."

"I'm from Earth, so you don't need to teach me how to take out the guitar."

Kita Ikuyo was speechless.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Goto Ichiri quickly apologized, and then was patted on the shoulder lightly by Nekayashiki Haru next to him.

"Why are you so nervous? You are a teacher."

"But this is my first time in my life...teaching someone guitar or something."

Goto Ichiri tilted his head and said.

"I used to play the piano by myself at home. Occasionally my younger sister would listen and, when she was in the mood, she would call me 'sister' and practice with me. But after a while, she would stop practicing and say it was too time-consuming. No wonder my sister has no friends. She is really amazing..."

"Okay, okay, I get it, no need to say more!"

Nekayashiki Haru quickly interrupted Goto Ichiri's tragic past, and Goto Ichiri hugged his guitar with a bitter face.

"A-Anyway... Kita-san, please play the guitar first."

"Huh? Where…where do I begin?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"Ah... just play it directly. I'll tell you what's wrong. It's... this..."

He took out a piece of music from his schoolbag and handed it to Kita Ikuyo.

"Let's just play this? Kita-san should be able to understand it?"

"You can understand it a little bit. I learned it in music class."

"I'm a good student who can learn real things from the classroom... I'm really sorry that someone like me is your teacher."

"Ahh... Goto-kun has started again."

Kita Ikuyo said a little crazy.

"Alright, alright, calm down. Stop being so lost in your own world."

Nekayashiki Haru could only remind Goto Ichiri in time.

"Ah... sorry, um... well... let's start practicing now."

...

……

.........

Time passed quickly, and soon the door was pushed open again.

Ijichi Hongka and Yamada Ryo walked in.

"Ah, everyone is here."

Ijichi Hongxia blinked, then greeted with a smile.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

"good afternoon…"

Goto Ichiri said weakly.

"Good afternoon Ijichi-senpai! Good afternoon Ryou-senpai!"

Kita Ikuyo also greeted.

"Hehe... I feel like we're starting to look a bit like a band now."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled and sat down in her seat.

"But I'm not planning on practicing today."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"No...no practice? Then...then what to do?"

"Anyway, everyone, come out first. Ah, Kitty, come out too."

"Ah."

A group of people walked out of the practice room and a table had been set up in front of everyone.

"Alright! Everyone, take a seat!"

With both hands raised high, Ijichi Hongxia announced.

Everyone takes their seats.

"Then wait for me for a moment... I'll look for it..."

Ijichi Hongxia reached into her schoolbag and felt something.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, Yamada Ryo started banging on the table, scaring Ijichi Hongxia so much that she looked up in confusion.

"What happened?!"

"Eat! Hurry up! Or I'll complain to your restaurant!"

Yamada Ryo knocked on the table.

"Don't demand food as soon as you get to the table! This isn't a restaurant. Anyway, how long have you been hungry? Are you starting to mistake this livehouse for a restaurant?!"

"Starting from yesterday, about one day."

"Aren't you fainting from hunger yet? You're too hungry, aren't you?!"

"I eat grass."

He took out some weeds from his pocket and, in front of the shocked gazes of everyone who could see him, bit off all the leaves in one bite.

“It tastes bitter, then sweet, but doesn’t leave you feeling full.”

"I beg you to sell your bass so you can have a good meal."

Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

"You can't even afford to eat... This is too tragic."

Nekayashiki Haru, who had roughly understood what was going on, couldn't help but speak, and this sentence made Yamada Ryo's eyes light up.

Then, under Ijichi Nichina's gaze of "Not good!", Yamada Ryo moved almost instantly to Nekayashiki Haru's side.

"Kitten, I've always admired you."

“…Why are you telling me this now?”

"Can you lend me some money?"

"…well?"

"Please, I really need your money. I can't live without it!"

“…That’s a bit exaggerated.”

He took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Yamada Ryo.

"Be careful with your use."

"Great kindness and virtue cannot be repaid!"

As he counted the money in his hand with shining eyes, Yamada Ryo's eyes couldn't help but turn into the shape of money.

"Yamada!"

Ijichi Hongxia said angrily.

"Woooo..."

Yamada Ryo wiped away his tears quietly.

"Why are you crying? Stop crying if you want the money."

Ijichi Hongxia said unhappily.

"You hit me so hard."

Yamada Ryo looked at Ijichi Kouka pitifully and said that he had just been hit with a drumstick by Ijichi Kouka because he borrowed money from Nekayashiki Haru.

"Huh? Seriously? I shouldn't have used that much force, right?"

Being looked at like this, Ijichi Hongxia began to feel a little guilty.

Did I hit him too hard just now? I should have been very gentle, right?

“It hurts!”

Yamada Ryo said immediately.

“…Then…then I’m sorry.”

"I'll forgive you if you lend me some money!"

"It's going to hurt you to death!"

Realizing that she had been fooled, Zhi Hongxia said angrily.

Then, without paying any attention to Yamada Ryo, he took out a big dice.

"Ahem! Everyone! Pay attention to me!"

Everyone looked at Ichichi Hongxia, who raised the dice.

"Because we don't know each other at all yet, I prepared this to help us improve our relationship!"

Ichichi Hongxia smiled.

"Well then! Let's begin our first end-of-band meeting! Applause! Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!"

After saying that, Ijichi Hongxia was the first to applaud.

Then Nekayashiki Haru and Yamada Ryo clapped together at the same time.

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment and then started clapping, leaving Goto Ichiri at a loss at this time.

"Well then! Let's roll the dice!"

Ijichi Hongxia stood up and threw the dice to the ground.

The dice spun on the ground.

"What can be thrown? What can be thrown?"

Ijichi Hongka laughed on the side, while on the other side, Yamada Ryo dubbed the dice with his mouth.

“Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump…”

Then, in the dub, the dice stop.
