Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Good morning, Kita-chan."

"Good morning?"

"Want to come and worship together?"

Ijichi Hongxia pointed to the Buddhist shrine in the distance.

"what?"

Kita Ikuyo stood there in a daze.

Nekoyashiki Haru patted Kita Ikuyo's shoulder.

"Just kidding, it's okay, you don't have to worship."

Yidizhi Xingge also put away the Buddhist beads.

"By the way, it's time for you to start working."

With his arms folded across his chest, Yidizhi Xingge became his usual arrogant self again.

"Well, there's no time to continue praying here. As for the broom..."

boom!

The starry door was suddenly pushed open.

"Yes, yes, sorry! I'm late!"

Goto Ichiri shouted loudly.

Ijichi Nichina and Ijichi Seika both looked at Goto Ichiri in silence.

Nekoyashiki Haruya silently faced the direction of Goto Ichiri.

“…”×3

"Why are you all looking at me like that?!"

Goto Ichiri was horrified.

...

……

.........

"So... they're performing an exorcism on Pochi?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Goto Ichiri who was surrounded by three people in the distance and was at a loss, and asked Kita Ikuyo beside him.

Kita Ikuyo nodded.

"Yeah, Ijichi-senpai just said, 'Pochi's social anxiety is abnormal, could it be because he's been haunted by an evil spirit?'" He then dragged the store manager and senpai to perform an exorcism on Ichiri.

"... "

Yamada Ryo thought for a while.

"Quite interesting."

"interesting?"

Kita Ikuyo was stunned for a moment.

Yamada Ryo pointed to Goto Ichiri in the distance.

"Look, Pochi's facial features have fallen to his chin."

“Ah!!! It’s true!”

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide and quickly ran up.

"Stop driving them away! You're going to drive Yili away."

"what…"

Ijichi Nichina opened her eyes and looked at Goto Ichiri who was trembling in front of her.

"Uh…"

"I... I don't have any evil spirits..."

Goto Ichiri said tremblingly.

“…It seems that there is indeed no one.”

Ichichi Hoshige said.

"Sorry Ichiri…We're a little…umm today."

Nekoyashiki Haru pondered for a while and couldn't find any good adjectives.

"I'm sorry, Pochi."

Ijichi Hongxia said with her hands clasped together.

"call…"

Goto Ichiri deflated like a deflated balloon.

"...I...I thought I was going to be executed for being late..."

“No one would be so cruel…”

Kita Ikuyo helped Goto Ichiri up.

"That's right... Pochi didn't do anything unforgivable, so how could someone do that to Pochi?"

Coming out of her trance-like state and being recaptured by maternal love, Ijichi Hongka gently stroked Goto Ichiri's head.

“…I’m sorry, Ichiri.”

Nekoyashiki Haru bowed his head and apologized.

Snapped…

Behind him, Yamada Ryo put his hands on Nekayashiki Haru's shoulders and asked.

"What happened today?"

"I heard something incredible yesterday..."

Nekoyashiki Haru answered Yamada Ryo who was behind him.

"Did you sleep well when you got home?"

"I slept well and now I feel refreshed."

Yamada Ryo said softly, then leaned against Nekayashiki Haru's back.

"Can you feel it? My temperature? My body is fine, I don't have a fever."

"No need to show me your body temperature."

Nekayashiki Haru patted Yamada Ryo's hand on his shoulder.

Yamada Ryo loosened his grip.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled.

Yamada Ryo pursed his lips as he looked at the boy's smile.

"Ah! By the way, the time is almost here."

After comforting Goto Ichiri, Ijichi Kouka looked at the others and said.

"Everyone, let's go see the maple leaves together tomorrow!"

"Viewing the maple leaves... sounds great!"

Kita Ikuyo laughed.

"We can even bring something for a picnic!"

Ichichi Hongxia said.

“No no no no no no…”

Goto Ichiri shook his head.

"Don't worry, Pochi. We'll choose a place with fewer people."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"That... that should be okay..."

Goto Ichiri nodded.

"Eh--"

Yamada Ryo made a sound of annoyance.

"Ryo has to go too, this is a band event."

"…oh…"

Yamada Ryo nodded.

Ijichi Nijina looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"Is the kitten okay? But the kitten can't enjoy the maple leaves, right..."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

“I hear the same thing.”

Chapter 199 Fantasy

rustling…

“So red…”

Wearing a thick down jacket, Goto Ichiri raised his head and sighed.

The red leaves above my head swayed in the wind like fire.

“It’s a great place, but there aren’t many people here.”

Kita Ikuyo looked around and found that the area was indeed a little surprising because it was so quiet.

"Ahahaha... because normally the autumn leaves are viewed on the other side of the mountain, so there aren't many people here."

After saying this, Ijichi Hongxia looked at Goto Ichiri.

"Wouldn't this make Pochi feel more comfortable?"

"Ah! Yes!"

Goto Ichiri nodded vigorously.

“It’s like being in a haunted house!”

“…Why is it a haunted house…”

Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

Yamada Ryo looked at Ichichi Nikka.

"By the way, wouldn't a place like this be off-limits?"

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"I didn't see any sign prohibiting entry!"

"Then there shouldn't be any!"

Kita Ikuyo, who was taking pictures with her cell phone, responded with a smile.

"I kept my head down on the road so I didn't notice..."

Goto Ichiri answered seriously.

"I can't see."
