Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Qing has been staying at my house these past few days."

Daikokuyinmi said softly.

“…Huh?”

Ichichi Hongxia stood there in a daze.

"Nekoyashiki Haru has been staying at my house these past few days."

Da Hei Yinsi emphasized it again.

"No... well, I understand, it's just... I didn't expect to live in Miss Pa's house. I thought Kitty would go..."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"He's going to his old friends' houses, right? Like the Hiroi family or something like that."

Daikokuyin shook his head.

"If Haru was really planning to leave in the first place, then maybe she would have gone to their house."

"…at the beginning? Preparing to leave?"

Ijichi Hongxia didn't understand a thing.

"Ah."

Daikokuyin nodded.

"Actually, on that sunny day, I walked out alone at night."

Time passed minute by minute, the falling snow gradually stopped, and the setting sun shone through the window, immersing Yidizhi Hongxia in orange-red light.

At the bottom of the stairs, the darkness gradually thickened, enveloping Daiko Yin. His dark green eyes looked at Ichichi Hongxia calmly and coldly.

"I walked alone, slowly, groping in the void, from my own home to my neighborhood in the heavy snow... Perhaps the reason was simply to suppress the chaos in my heart."

"I wondered what kind of emotions he was feeling? Regret? Disappointment? Guilt? Or all of them? He walked to a convenience store, seemed to buy a can of soda, and then sat down at the door, wrapped himself in a pitch-black sweatshirt, and then the falling snow frost on him... Xiao Hongxia..."

Da Hei Yin slowly tilted his head, his black hair flowing down like a waterfall, and his dark green pupils seemed to carry an unknown meaning.

“…Is that you?”

"…What?"

Ijichi Hongxia clenched her fists.

"Is it because of something Xiao Hongxia did? That's why Qing left his home. He went to the convenience store to buy some alcohol. I took him back, and he seemed very sad..."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia gritted her teeth.

"I don't mean to blame you. I just want to ask you, as Qing's friend, as Qing and I've lived together as roommates for so many days, and as I unilaterally identified you as a 'same kind'... what did you do?"

Da Hei Yin said softly.

"I…"

Just as Ichichi Hongxia was about to speak, she was interrupted by Daikokuonmi.

"Tell me so I can comfort Qing..."

Daikokuonmi placed his hand on his chest and said to Ichichi Kouka.

"Let me comfort Qing, Xiao Hongxia doesn't need to worry."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia narrowed her eyes.

She lowered her head.

"I...broke into Kitty's home and scared him...that's about it..."

"is that so…"

Daikokuyin nodded.

“It was unexpectedly better than I thought…”

Daikokuyin nodded.

"But...Qing should have said that she forgives you, right? Or maybe she simply doesn't blame you?"

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

"...I understand. I'll go back first, Xiao Hongxia too..."

Dai Hei Yin turned around and wanted to leave.

However, the moment she turned around, Ijichi Hongka's voice rang out.

"Wait a moment."

"... "

Da Hei Yin has turned around.

In the darkness, she looked at the girl bathed in the sunset. The light was soft, but she couldn't see Ichichi Hongxia's expression clearly.

"Miss Pa... do you like kittens?"

Ijichi Hongxia asked.

"... "

Da Hei Yin opened his mouth.

I was discovered... No... I didn't intend to hide it.

In the final analysis...friends, roommates, and the like, these things are just excuses.

the answer is…

"…like it? Maybe?"

“…Is that so…I understand…”

Ijichi Hongxia nodded and then raised her foot.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

Slowly walked towards Daikoku Otomi.

Breaking away from the sunset, the girl's yellow hair bounced, pulling her ribbon along with it.

"Let's go to the Stars together."

"…What?"

"I said let's go together. There's no reason for me to stand here and wait for you to leave."

Ijichi Hongxia stepped over Daikoku Otomi and walked downstairs.

Da Hei Yin was stunned where he was.

The situation wasn't what she expected... She had originally thought it would be Ijichi Hongka who was standing there motionless...

snap…

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly stopped.

"…Um, Ms. Pa…"

Hearing the voice, Daikoku Otsu pursed his lips, then slowly turned around to look at Ichichi Hongxia.

Ijichi Hongxia was also looking back at her with a smile as warm as the sunshine on her face.

"Kitten... I'll comfort her, no need to bother Miss Pa."

"... "

Da Hei Yin's dark green pupils shrank slightly.

"…ah…"

Chapter 238: The Hug Is Fake…The Harem Is Real?! (Yet)

The four people in the rehearsal room sat quietly.

Ijichi Hongxia was shaking her drumsticks nervously.

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head, her face red, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Goto Ichiri entangled and played with his fingers.

Yamada Ryo closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep while sitting.

“…I said…”

Yamada Ryo opened his eyes.

“Is this a meditation exercise now?”

“…”×3

The three of them looked at Yamada Ryo together.

Yamada Ryo sighed.

"Are you all wondering why Neko-kun is not here?"

“…”×3

The three remained silent.

Yamada Ryo narrowed his eyes.

"He said he would be back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow...? Why would Ryo-senpai know?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"He told me that this afternoon."

Yamada Ryo answered casually.

"Did Senior visit Senior Liang this afternoon?"

Kita Ikuyo then asked.

"Well, he told me something very interesting."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"Ah... yeah, you're looking for me too..."

Goto Ichiri said hurriedly, as if he was afraid of being forgotten.

Kita Ikuyo looked at Goto Ichiri, then at Yamada Ryo, and finally turned to look at Ijichi Nikka.

"Hmm? Ah... Kitty met me today too."

Ijichi Hongxia nodded.

“…Huh? So…am I the only one who didn’t see Senpai today?!”

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide and quickly took out her cell phone.

"what?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Kita Ikuyo and asked.

"…see if Senpai sent me a message I didn't notice."

"…Um…so there is?"

"No…"

Kita Ikuyo put down her phone.

“…Why didn’t you look for me…”
