Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Ok?"

Catyashiki Haru came back to his senses and opened his eyes wide.

"That's right, what are you daydreaming about?"

Ijichi Hongxia tilted her head.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked at Ijichi Nikka.

"Look! Doesn't my ribbon look good?!"

Noticing Nekayashiki Haru's gaze, Ijichi Nijina smiled and showed off her plaid ribbon.

"…nice."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Hehe, because I'm cute! Kitty told me that before, right?"

"Yeah, Hongxia is cute."

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

Ichichi Hoshige next to him grinned.

"Narcissism..."

"Ah! My sister said bad things about me again!"

Ichichi Hongxia said dissatisfiedly to Ichichi Xingge.

"Hehehe... just telling the truth."

Ichichi Hoshige said, shaking her head.

By the way, I patted the head of the cat named Haru Yashiki next to me.

"Only Qing and mom will always praise you. I won't spoil you..."

"Humph!"

Ijichi Hongxia turned her head away.

"But... Sister Xingge, you are much more troublesome than Hongxia."

Nekoyashiki Haru helplessly grabbed Ijichi Seika's hand.

"Uh…"

Ichichi Xingge shuddered.

"You're already a college student...but you're still running around...and you often run away from home and don't answer your phone. Everyone is really worried about you."

"Well... because you guys are annoying..."

Ichichi Xingge said in a dissatisfied voice.

"I was scolded by an elementary school student, Xingge~"

The woman with a blurred face laughed.

"Tsk..."

Ichichi Xingge scratched his head.

She looked at Nekayashiki Haru and actually wanted to refute something.

But she couldn't bring herself to say anything in rebuttal.

After all, I really troubled this guy a lot...

Whether it's helping to take care of my sister, providing cover, or something else.

Yidizhi Xingge felt a little ashamed in front of the boy.

"Ah, right, Xingge."

The woman clapped her hands and spoke.

"You have a performance today, right?"

"Well, there is."

Ichichi Hoshige nodded and said.

"Then, can you take us to see it?"

"Aha?"

Ichichi Hoshige's eyes widened.

"Why?!"

"Actually, they both have the day off today, and I wanted to show them your handsome side."

The woman requested.

"Is that okay? Xingge?"

“…Wu…”

Ijichi Xingge hesitated for a while, and finally agreed while scratching his head.

"I know..."

“I don’t want to go…”

Ijichi Hongxia turned her head.

"Xingge is so handsome on the stage."

the woman said.

"No matter how handsome my sister is, I don't want to look at her!"

"Oh my...this kid."

The woman looked at Yidizhi Hongxia and felt a little embarrassed.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru swallowed the bread in his mouth.

"I want to see it, Hongxia."

"Eh?"

Ijichi Nijina looked at Nekayashiki Haru in surprise.

Ichichi Xingge next to him hummed twice, seeming a little proud.

Nekayashiki Haru continued.

"Can you come with me to see it, Hongxia?"

"...Wow... If, if you're going with the kitten... then it's fine."

Ijichi Hongxia nodded reluctantly.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly glanced at Nekayashiki Haru and blinked.

Nekayashiki Haru also responded with a wink.

...

……

.........

“This is the livehouse…”

Nekoyashiki Haru frowned.

“There are so many people…”

Ijichi Nikka hugged Nekayashiki Haru's arm a little nervously.

"Well, that's the tune of the band..."

The yellow-haired woman said helplessly, then patted the two men on the shoulders.

"Wait a moment and go to the front."

Ijichi Hoshige said to the others and then walked towards the rehearsal room.

"Just watch me get the whole place excited!"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru watched Ijichi Seika leave.

"She seems happy?"

"After all, you're chasing your dream."

the woman said.

"Woo..."

Ijichi Hongxia was still a little scared.

Nekoyashiki Haru looked at Ijichi Nichinaka, then reached out and patted her shoulder.

Ijichi Nikka turned and looked at Nekayashiki Haru.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

"It's fine."

"…Um!"

Ijichi Hongxia nodded vigorously.

As more and more people came, the lights in the room became dimmer.

The crowd, which had been a bit noisy, quieted down.

The three people who were arranged in the front row sat next to each other, their purple eyes and two pairs of red eyes looking at the dark stage at the same time.

next moment.

Click...

The lights come on.

Amidst the noisy cheers, lively music sounded.

The huge sound made Nekayashiki Haru and Ijichi Nijinaka tremble at the same time.

"Woo!"

Ijichi Hongka showed a frightened expression and closed her eyes.

Nekoyashiki Haru quickly reached out and covered Ijichi Kouka's ears.

The woman behind him quickly reached out and covered Nekayashiki Haru's ears.

on the stage.

Ijichi Xingge smiled, and her sweat looked like golden sand under the light.

Ijichi Hongka, who had her eyes closed, slowly opened them.

In front of me, under the lights, Ichichi Xingge's smile is so eye-catching.

Or, just to get my attention?

Being in a band... is it such a joyful thing?

As the fear from her first time of being scared to death faded away, Ijichi Nijika patted Nekayashiki Haru's hand.

Nekayashiki Haru slowly took his hand away.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia stared blankly at the people on the stage.

"... "
