Lonely Rock for the Blind

Nekoyashiki Haru held Yamada Ryo's feet a little tighter through the blanket.

"I told you I'm the champion of staying up late. I won't sleep if you haven't slept yet."

Yamada Ryo said nonchalantly.

"But I just woke up."

"A champion doesn't care if his opponent cheats."

Yamada Ryo said in a proud tone.

Nekoyashiki Haru narrowed his eyes and held Yamada Ryo's feet a little tighter.

"…Take the blanket off. You're a little hot like this."

Yamada Ryo said to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Didn't you say I'd warm your feet?"

As if in retaliation for Yamada Ryo's smug tone just now, Nekayashiki Haru said with a slightly mischievous smile.

"Isn't this warm?"

"warm."

"Then there's no problem, right?"

Nekayashiki Haru closed his eyes and slowly leaned back on the sofa behind him.

Yamada Ryo's toes trembled, creating a small gap in the blanket. The cold air from outside rushed in, calming Yamada Ryo, who had just felt the heat in his feet.

Then I continued reading without caring.

At night, the two of them were quietly doing their own things.

Daydreaming, studying, sinking into silent interaction under the gaze of the moonlight and stars outside the window.

Nekoyashiki Haru's consciousness gradually became blurred.

Yamada Ryoya felt that the words on the pages in front of him were twisting and jumping.

"call…"

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered his head, his consciousness falling into darkness.

Snapped!

The book hit Yamada Ryo in the face, but she ignored it and didn't have the energy to care. Her consciousness soon became silent like Nekayashiki Haru.

I don’t know how long it took, until the world outside the window became bright, and until the sun climbed to the center.

Nekoyashiki Haru finally opened his eyes.

"Ok?"

The young man who regained consciousness on the sofa was slightly stunned.

The memory of last night slowly returned. After hesitating for a moment, Nekayashiki Haru checked the blanket on his legs with his hand.

The owner of the two feet in the blanket made a slightly muffled breathing sound.

"…call…"

“…He fell asleep.”

Nekoyashiki Haru blinked, then gently moved to the other side of the sofa.

The movements were very gentle, as Nekayashiki Haru didn't want to wake up Yamada Ryo.

Snapped…

The sudden tremor made Yamada Ryo frown in his sleep.

Her legs twisted restlessly on Nekayashiki Haru's thighs.

Snapped…

Don't move...you kicked me in the stomach...

After a kick that was neither light nor heavy, Nekayashiki Haru finally escaped from Yamada Ryo's restraints.

After going to the bathroom and washing up, the boy returned to the living room again.

"call…"

Yamada Ryo is still sleeping.

"... "

After a moment of silence, the boy's hand reached for the coffee table.

After getting a bunch of keys, Nekoyashiki Haru walked out of the apartment.

Outside the door, the cool autumn air made Nekoyashiki Haru's body tremble slightly.

"... "

Pulling out his blind stick, Nekayashiki Haru walked towards the next room.

As he walked, he pulled out his cell phone.

beep…

"Ah, hello."

The call was answered.

...

……

.........

There is a quiet cafe not far from the stars.

In fact, Kita Ikuyo once specifically dragged others here to drink coffee or have some desserts.

Of course, according to Nekayashiki Haru, Kita Ikuyo's purpose was most likely to take a group photo and then post it on his personal social account and the band's account.

The aroma of coffee wafted through the room.

Classical music streamed from an old record player.

There shouldn't be many people here, but Nekoyashiki Haru thinks it's really stylish.

Jingle ~

The door was pushed open and a beautiful woman with blue hair walked in.

"... "

After taking a quick look around the store, I soon found Nekoyashiki Haru drinking coffee in the corner.

The afternoon sun gently poured down on the young man. Beside him squatted a golden retriever, which was also shining in the sunlight outside the window.

It was like a second light source, making the boy's beautiful face more three-dimensional.

"... "

Yamada Kyoka walked towards Nekoyashiki Haru.

The footsteps were deliberately heavier.

Nekayashiki Haru raised his head and faced the beautiful woman.

"Nekoyashiki-kun, can I call you that?"

"Please do as you please."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

Yamada Kyoka nodded and sat down opposite Nekoyashiki Haru.

"There's a good place like this here... The manager has excellent taste."

Listening to the classical music on the record player, Yamada Kyoka smiled slightly.

“Yeah, I think this place is great too.”

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Ah, is this a guide dog? Can I pet it?"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and patted Shikaku's head gently.

Shikaku walked obediently to Yamada Kyoka and accepted the woman's touch.

"So good~"

Yamada Kyoka laughed, then raised her head to face Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Um, Nekoyashiki-kun, is Xiaoliang doing well at your house?"

"Well, I can eat and sleep, so it's fine for now."

"Is it not causing you any trouble?"

"No."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

Yamada Kyoka was silent for a while.

"So, Nekoyashiki-kun asked me out...was it about debt?"

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly stunned.

boom!

Yamada Kyoka took out a briefcase and placed it on the table.

"Well, this money should be enough to pay off Xiaoliang's debt!"

Yamada Kyoka said a little excitedly.

"She became like this because I spoiled her too much in the past, but she is a good child!"

“…No, asking you out isn’t about debt.”

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"Huh? Isn't it?"

Yamada Kyoka put the briefcase back.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you why Liang ran away from home."

"Ok?"

"I'm sorry, this may be a bit presumptuous, but I still want to ask clearly."

Nekoyashiki Haru straightened his back.

"I think I have a pretty good relationship with her, and we're considered good friends, so I hope you can tell me the reason."

"... "

Yamada Kyoka tilted her head slightly.

"Have you asked Xiaoliang?"

"She won't say."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"Um…"

Yamada Kyoka lowered her head slightly.

Then he looked up at the boy.

A straight back and a serious face.

Yamada Kyoka opened her mouth.

"Actually, it's because she's been staying up late lately."
