Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Don't sleep..."

After the four members of the band came over, Ijichi Hongxia said.

"Take a nap."

Nekoyashiki Haru laughed.

"That's what everyone who's about to die in their sleep says."

Ijichi Nikka sat down next to Nekoyashiki Haru, then looked up at the red leaves above her head.

“It’s really red.”

"It's very beautiful."

Kita Ikuyo also sat down and said.

Yamada Ryo lay on the picnic blanket.

"I'll take a nap."

"I won't care if you catch a cold."

Ijichi Hongxia said helplessly.

"It's okay, I'm not that fragile."

Yamada Ryo closed his eyes.

"It's such a beautiful view, but Senior Liang doesn't seem to appreciate it at all."

Feeling that the beautiful scenery was wasted, Kita Ikuyo shook her head regretfully, and then asked Goto Ichiri who sat down next to her.

"Right, Xiao Yili?"

"... "

"A little one li?"

Kita Ikuyo was stunned.

The pink-haired girl was looking up at the red leaves above her head in a daze.

Rustle~

The color is like fire, yet it seems to be surging like waves.

Goto Ichiri was stunned.

"It looks like Xiaoyili thinks it's beautiful too."

Kita Ikuyo smiled.

"Hehe...I picked a good place, didn't I?"

Ijichi Hongxia nodded proudly, then looked at Nekayashiki Haru and asked.

"Where's Kitten? How's it feeling?"

"Ok?"

"Because the kitten can't see, but didn't you say you could hear before you left?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked as she moved closer.

"How does it feel?"

"... "

Hearing the question, Nekayashiki Haru thought for a while and then answered.

“… sounds good.”

"The sound of maple leaves rustling?"

"Yes, not all."

Nekoyashiki Haru answered.

"Riddler, you."

Ijichi Hongxia shook her head, then raised her head and concentrated on admiring the maple leaves.

"!"

Coming out of his dazed state, Goto Ichiri looked at the other quiet people.

"... "

Her heartbeat quickened slightly and she opened her mouth.

"Um... everyone, come next year too!"

"Oh?"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Goto Ichiri in surprise.

"Not bad! Pochi actually asked to come out and play...even though it's a reservation event for next year."

"That's fine with me!"

Kita Ikuyo agreed.

"... "

Nekayashiki Haru didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to Goto Ichiri.

“…and…come the year after next!”

Goto Ichiri became a little excited.

"The year after next, the year after next, the year after next..."

"Actually, I think we can try to go somewhere else after all these years..."

Nekoyashiki Haru quickly interrupted.

"what…"

Goto Ichiri lowered his head.

"Ah, don't be disappointed..."

Ichichi Hongxia scratched his head.

"Does Yili like the maple leaves here?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked.

"I think... I like it."

Goto Ichiri nodded.

"but…"

The blue eyes looked around at the people around.

Looking at her with concern were Ijichi Nikka and Kita Ikuyo...

Nekoyashiki Haru listens attentively to his own voice...

And there's the lying Yamada Ryo...

"... "

Goto Ichiri was slightly distracted.

"what happened?"

Kita Ikuyo asked with concern.

The pink-haired girl looked at Kita Ikuyo and shook her head slightly.

"No...you don't have to come here next year."

"Huh? You seemed to like it very much just now?"

Ijichi Hongxia tilted her head and asked.

"I think... I like it here because I'm with everyone."

Goto Ichiri blushed and lowered his head.

"So, as long as we stay together from now on, it doesn't matter where we go..."

"…Um!"

Kita Ikuyo nodded vigorously.

"I think so!"

“Of course everyone in the band will be together!”

Ichichi Hongxia smiled.

"Always... together?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned for a moment.

On the picnic blanket, Yamada Ryo opened his golden eyes.

Then he turned and looked at Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri blinked when he noticed the gaze.

"... "

Yamada Ryo narrowed his golden eyes.

Always together...

“It’s quite difficult.”

Yamada Ryo said calmly.

"Senior Liang, don't pour cold water on me!"

Kita Ikuyo said.

"That's right, Liang, and you probably want the band to continue!"

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"…Um…"

After a moment of silence, Yamada Ryo nodded in response.

I think so and I believe the band will continue.

but…

I'm not talking about the band.

Chapter 202 Alienation

It seems to be in an extremely cold place...

The crowd around him cheered, but it had nothing to do with him.

He walked past me as if he couldn't see me.

Actually I don’t hate this. If they could see me, I would be so scared that I would turn into a puddle.

Weird, unapproachable, and completely unsuitable for normal social interaction.

I'm almost out of touch with society...

But it doesn’t matter, because we are all here.

Everyone will accompany me... and slowly change...

I will always be in...

It's quite difficult.
