Lonely Rock for the Blind

The blurry image completely disappeared.

She was smiling at herself gently.

as well as…

Nekoyashiki Haru turned around.

"And I remember clearly what you looked like before."

"!"

Ijichi Hoshige and Ijichi Nijika opened their eyes wide at the same time.

Nekoyashiki Haru stood up.

Facing the tombstone, the boy spoke.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Ijichi... I accidentally lost my eyesight, but I won't regret it."

Nekoyashiki Haru gently covered her heart.

"I'm back now, back in Shimokitazawa, back with Hongxia and Xingge-nee. It's just like before, and... I've been hanging out with Hongxia's band. Um, Hongxia has formed a band, even though she said before that she would never be in a band."

Ijichi Hongxia was slightly stunned, then stepped forward.

"Indeed, I'm in a band, and everyone in the band is really nice! Even though I used to say I hated bands, in the end... I ended up on the same path as my sister."

Ichichi Xingge's lips trembled.

Ah…Is that so?

Something seemed to disappear before my eyes.

Ichichi Xingge pursed her lips.

The three of us... are just like before...

Together again...

That's why Qing... That's why Hong Xia...

Ichichi Hoshige walked towards the tombstone.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't pursue my dream, even though you seemed to like me the way I was... But I already have a new goal."

"The manager of the livehouse [Fanxing], but ah, I've already told you all this, well... I probably won't mind if I tell you again."

Ichichi Hoshige shook her head.

"Anyway, I'm doing pretty well now."

"Me too... I'm very happy with my current life."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"I don't have any complaints."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with his head down.

"So that's it, don't worry!"

Ijichi Hongka smiled.

"Don't worry about us at all!"

Then he took out the flowers and placed them in front of the tombstone.

"Yeah...we'll support each other and keep going. Don't worry."

Ijichi Xingge nodded, then placed the flowers in front of the tombstone.

The three of them stood quietly in front of the tombstone, with their eyes closed and smiles on their faces.

I don’t know how much time passed before Yidizhi Xingge opened his eyes.

"Okay, let's go."

Ichichi Hoshige said.

"I've said everything that needs to be said."

"…Um."

Ijichi Hongxia also nodded.

Nekoyashiki Haru raised his head and suddenly thought of something.

"I heard that the dead become stars in the sky. Wanting to see their loved ones on the ground in the darkness, they shine incredibly brightly, and that's how bright they become!"

"...Want to see the stars tonight?"

"Ah You?"

Ijichi Seika turned to look at Nekoyashiki Haru in confusion.

"Just watch."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"There has to be a brightest star, right?"

"Ok?"

Ichichi Hoshige tilted her head.

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide and nodded vigorously.

"Actually... there has always been one!"

"Really?... That's good."

Nekoyashiki Haru laughed.

The three of them walked towards the stone steps.

rustling…

The leaves trembled.

The fifth autumn wind blows.

"Bon Voyage."

A soft voice from nowhere was carried by the wind.

“?!”×3

The three of them turned around at the same time.

Facing nothingness.

Chapter 198 Exorcism

The autumn weather is crisp and the leaves on the trees around [Stars] have turned a fiery red.

"Good morning!"

During Silver Week, Kita Ikuyo opened the door to the stars with a smile.

then…

Knock knock?

Nekoyashiki Haru was beating the wooden fish.

Ta-ta-ta...

Ichichi Xingge twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand.

插…

Ichichi Hongxia solemnly inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner in front of her.

“…What’s going on?”

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head and looked at the helpless pa-san next to her...Okuro Otomi.

The woman with long black hair sighed.

"It's been like this since early this morning... I don't know what's happened all of a sudden, it's like I've started to believe in Buddhism."

"Eh?"

"It even took up the space I usually use to browse my phone... What the hell is going on?"

Kita Ikuyo blinked.

"By the way, Miss Pa doesn't have work this morning, right?"

"Yeah...but it's lonely being home alone."

The black-haired woman tilted her head to the side.

"I really, really feel so lonely... I can only enjoy a few moments of socializing online, but when it's over, I'm left with an endless emptiness. When I think about it, it feels like the first half of my life has been wasted. But there's nothing I can do... I can't do it... I can already see myself dying alone in the future, with no one to care for me..."

"Ah ha ha…"

Kita Ikuyo scratched her face.

In the distance, Ijichi Hoshige and Ijichi Nijika turned around at the same time to look at Daikoku Otomi.

Knock knock? Knock knock?!

Nekoyashiki Haru was still beating the wooden fish.

Ichichi Xingge, who was standing next to him, patted his shoulder and whispered something.

Nekayashiki Haru was stunned, then turned towards the direction of Daikoku Otomi.

Then the three of them stood up at the same time and quickly approached the black-haired woman.

Knock knock? Knock knock? Knock knock?!

In front of the black-haired woman, Nekayashiki Haru knocked even harder.

Ta-ta-ta-ta…

Yidizhi Xingge closed his eyes and crossed his Buddhist beads seriously.

"Namo Amitabha, Yadatta, Yadatta, Yadatta, Yadatta, Amituobu, Pavi, Amituobu..."

Ichichi Hongxia clasped her hands together and muttered something.

"What…what are you doing?"

Daikokuyin blinked.

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes and said.

"The sudden change in negativity might be due to being possessed by an evil spirit."

"I...I don't believe this..."

Daikokuyin shook his head.

Ijichi Xingge opened her eyes and said excitedly.

"Don't disbelieve it, you really have to believe it!"

"Why are you so excited, manager?"

Da Hei Yin asked doubtfully.

"I've known since a long time that the soul really exists..."

Nekoyashiki Haru said in a melodious voice.

"What happened to you yesterday?"

Daikokuon sighed.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo blinked as she watched this scene. Ijichi Nikka next to her looked at Kita Ikuyo and greeted her.
