Lonely Rock for the Blind

Yamada Ryo, who was behind Nekoyashiki Haru, poked his head out.

"Okay, here we are, let's go forward."

“…Did you hear the door open just now?”

"I pried it open. We are now in front of a deserted house."

"…Did we get that far?"

"Believe me."

Yamada Ryo's firm voice rang out.

Nekayashiki Haru hesitated for a moment, then stopped talking and walked forward.

"!!"

Seeing Nekoyashiki Haru walking towards her, Ijichi Hongka immediately dodged to the side.

“…He’s really in the house…”

Feeling the unique touch of the wooden floor under his feet, Nekoyashiki Haru said in surprise.

"I will not lie to you."

"…Yeah…"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head.

"So what should I do next? Just stay with you?"

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo nodded, then looked at Ijichi Nikka who was standing beside him.

"!?"

What the hell are you doing?!

The red eyes conveyed this message to Yamada Ryo.

Hey.

Yamada Ryo's golden eyes conveyed a smile.

A feeling of anger couldn't help but rise from Ichichi Hongxia's heart, and suddenly, something was handed to Ichichi Hongxia.

"?"

I looked down at the chain in my hand, then looked up to see Yamada Ryo's thumbs-up, and then at the chain connected to Nekayashiki Haru...

"?!"

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide.

Do you want me to lead you?!

Chapter 57: Exposed

"...Yamada-san...are you still there?"

After walking a few steps forward, he didn't hear Yamada Ryo's voice, and Nekoyashiki Haru felt a little uneasy.

"I'm here, don't worry."

Yamada Ryo said this next to Ijichi Kouka.

"That's good, just don't leave me alone and run away."

Nekoyashiki Haru breathed a sigh of relief.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia still looked down at the chain in her hand.

The kitten on a leash...

I always feel... a little weird?

Ichichi Hoshige, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked up in confusion.

Then I saw the blushing Ijichi Nikka holding the cat Yashiki Haru, and the expressionless Yamada Ryo next to her.

"?!?!"

Ichichi Hoshige's eyes widened.

“n…”

As soon as she made a sound, the quick-eyed and quick-handed Yamada Ryo rushed over and covered Ijichi Xingge's mouth.

"?!"

The sudden change in the surrounding sounds made Nekayashiki Haru instantly alert.

"What's wrong, Yamada-san? Are you in danger? I thought I heard someone's voice just now."

"It's an old cat. It was probably retired here and got scared by us, so it ran away."

“…Cat…”

Nekoyashiki Haru felt slightly relieved.

Ichichi Hoshige glared at Yamada Ryo.

What is an old cat?!?!

Yamada Ryo quickly pointed at Ichichi Kouka.

Ijichi Xingge was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ijichi Hongxia.

At this moment, the girl was clutching the chain tightly, lowering her head and not saying a word.

"... "

Ichichi Hoshige calmed down.

"... "

Yamada Ryo slowly loosened his hand.

"Ahem, we're about to start exploring, kitten, please follow closely."

Yamada Ryo's voice rang out.

"OK…"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded and moved closer to the chain.

"!"

Suddenly feeling the approach of the young man behind her, Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide.

"Okay, let's go."

Yamada Ryo said while sitting on the sofa. Ijichi Hongxia was stunned, then pulled Nekoyashiki Haru and walked around.

“…Can inspiration really come from a place like this?”

Nekoyashiki Haru hesitated.

“Inspiration is something like that.”

Yamada Ryo nodded on the sofa.

“…Is your voice a little far from me?”

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly frowned.

“And the direction seems to be…”

"!"

Yamada Ryo looked at Ichichi Seika suddenly.

"?!"

What do you want me to do?

Yamada Ryo's lips moved.

【Think of a solution quickly.】

"?!"

Ijichi Hoshika opened her eyes wide, then turned to look at Ijichi Nikka, who looked a little at a loss in front of Nekayashiki Haru.

Tsk…

“Meow…Meow!!!”

With a blushing face, Ijichi Hoshika shouted loudly, and Yamada Ryo took advantage of this opportunity to quietly crawl towards Nekoyashiki Haru's position, and then stood next to Ijichi Nijika.

"...?"

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted her head.

"The old cat is back."

Yamada Ryo said calmly.

"…This cat's voice… doesn't sound right?"

"Old cats always meow like that. Their throats must be in bad condition."

"!"

Click click click…

Ichichi Xingge clenched his fists tightly.

“…Yamada-san, you’re not kidding me, are you?”

Nekoyashiki Haru already sensed something was wrong.

"Haven't you finished looking for inspiration yet? I want to get back early..."

"!"

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide, then suddenly pulled the chain hard.

"?"

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned when he suddenly felt the pull.

"Ahem, we're just starting to explore now."

Yamada Ryo said quickly, then stood close to Ijichi Hongka, trying his best to avoid being noticed by the difference in the direction of the voice.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia pursed her lips and lowered her head, walking around the living room with the cat Yashiki Haru.

"Feeling like we're going in circles?"

"The furniture here is a little messy."

Yamada Ryo said this, then gestured to Ijichi Hongka.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia didn't say anything, but pulled the boy towards her bedroom.

"?!"

Yamada Ryo opened his eyes wide.

So proactive?

Click.

Ijichi Hongxia gently pushed the door open, then pulled Nekoyashiki Haru inside.

"A bedroom? By the way, is this really an old house? I can sense a scent."

Hearing this, Ijichi Hongka's face became redder and redder.
