Lonely Rock for the Blind

Yamada Ryo looked at Goto Ichiri who was shouting.

I couldn't help but clench my fists.

She never thought that it would be Pochi, the person she nicknamed, who would appear at this time.

But it seems...it makes sense...

“…Haaa…Haaa…”

Goto Ichiri's breathing was still rapid.

The flying snow slowly diluted her previous emotions.

“…one mile…”

Nekayashiki Haru clenched his hands over his heart.

“…That’s all I have to say…”

Goto Ichiri took a few steps back.

What are you doing

What were you doing just now?

Do you think anyone wants to hear this from you?

Why did you, a person like you who is eccentric, lonely, self-deprecating and cowardly, just say such arrogant and self-righteous words!

Maybe they already think you are weird, maybe they already think you are annoying.

The self in my heart kept expressing regret.

? !

Goto Ichiri felt that the world in front of him suddenly started spinning.

"what…"

Goto Ichiri spoke softly, then fell backwards.

"!"

Nekayashiki Haru rushed towards the fallen Goto Ichiri as if by reflex.

In fact, he heard nothing.

I don't know why he rushed towards the girl.

but…

boom.

Nekayashiki Haru caught Goto Ichiri who was about to fall, and knelt in the snow.

“Ah…ah…ah wow wow wow…”

Goto Ichiri's voice made intermittent strange cries, and he trembled in Nekayashiki Haru's arms.

"Nekyou-kun! Pochi!"

Yamada Ryo, who was a little slow to react, stretched out his hand.

"fine…"

Nekoyashiki Haru said softly.

Yamada Ryo stopped.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru hugged Goto.

“…one mile…”

The boy lowered his head.

“…I’m really sorry…”

"... "

Goto Ichiri's pupils trembled in his arms, and then his trembling body slowly stopped in his arms.

The girl reached out and gently stroked Nekayashiki Haru's face, then suddenly froze.

Wet...

"…clear…"

She knew that his sorry was not a rejection.

He was just apologizing.

For myself now, for everyone now.

"!"

Goto Ichiri suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

"No, it's not your fault, Haru..."

Goto Ichiri trembled and reached out his hand towards the corner of Nekayashiki Haru's eyes.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry it shouldn't be you... I..."

Goto Ichiri bit his lower lip.

Did I just...force Qing?

I…

"Ichiri... Let's go home."

Nekayashiki Haru forced himself to smile.

"Liang and I will take you back... As for those questions just now... I need some time."

"…it is good."

Nekoyashiki Haru helped Goto Ichiri up, then looked at Yamada Ryo behind him.

“…Let’s stop here for today, please.”

"…Um."

Yamada Ryo lowered his head and responded softly.

...

……

.........

"Ah..."

Walking down the street, Hiroi Kikuri was staggering with a bottle of wine in her hand.

"Where are we going to drink later... Oh?"

On the bench in the distance, the bright red hair was extremely eye-catching.

"This is?"

Hiroi Kikuri walked towards the bench, and the red-haired girl on the bench raised her head.

"…Xiaohong? Why are you here?"

Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head.

"...Kikuri...senpai..."

Kita Ikuyo was stunned.

“…You’re still drinking so late…”

"What are you talking about? This is normal."

Hiroi Kikuri sat down next to Kita Ikuyo and handed her the bottle of wine.

"Want a bite?"

"I'm underage!"

"Xiao Qing is also underage. Didn't I coax her into drinking it back then? Hahaha!"

Drunk Hiroi Kikuri is carefree.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"…senior…"

"Hmm? The single [Senior] is calling Xiaoqing, right? So what's wrong?"

"…I…"

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists.

"I really…"

"Ok?"

Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head.

"I really... like you so much, Senior!"

"?!"

The drunk Hiroi Kikuri sobered up for a moment at that moment.

Chapter 210 I Want to See You

"Suddenly... suddenly telling me this?"

Hiroi Kikuri was at a loss.

She hadn't expected to hear this here.

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head.

"You don't have to listen... I'm just talking to myself... Don't worry about it."

"No...you told me everything after all."

Hiroi Kikuri clenched the wine bottle.

"I've fallen in love with Xiaoqing... Isn't that good?"

Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head.

"Xiaohong is a cute girl, right? She's a good match for Xiaoqing, isn't she?"

"... "

Kita Ikuyo looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

“…But Senior doesn’t like me.”

"what?"

Hiroi Kikuri was suddenly stunned.

"Your confession was rejected?"

"Not really! There's no official confession yet!"

Kita Ikuyo said excitedly.

"I just... just..."

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists.

"Ijichi-senpai... I like you too. We agreed from the beginning to a fair competition..."

“…You lost?”
