Lonely Rock for the Blind

"me too."

Ijichi Kouka said, then looked at Goto Ichiri.

"Pochi..."

"I'm so sorry for not selling all the tickets! I'm going to commit seppuku right now for holding everyone back!!!"

Goto Ichiri, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up and took out a wakizashi from behind.

Zheng————

The bright light of the knife flashed across the faces of the other three people.

"Wait! Put it down! Why would you carry something like this with you? And if you do something like this, even if it's just a joke, I'll be mad!"

Ijichi Hongxia stepped forward, snatched the unfired sword and threw it on the ground, then said seriously to Goto Ichiri.

"Sorry…"

Goto Ichiri shrank to the ground.

"Not only did we fail to sell all the tickets, but we also made you, Hongxia, angry..."

"Ah...it's not a big deal."

Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

"We can figure out the tickets together when the time comes, don't worry."

“But…but!”

"Don't say but!"

Ijichi Hongxia picked up Goto Ichiri who was stuck to the ground, and then brought him back to the table to sit down.

"Ijichi-senpai is right, there's nothing to worry about, Goto-kun."

Kita Ikuyo said to Goto Ichiri with a smile.

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"There's really nothing to worry about. At worst, you can just pay for it yourself when the time comes..."

boom! ! ! !

A ceramic piggy bank was smashed onto the table.

Goto Ichiri pushed the piggy bank in front of everyone.

"I... I only have this. My mom gave it to me for my wedding... Even though I feel like that kind of thing has nothing to do with me... Anyway, please count it! It should be enough to cover the ticket price! As for the rest, please use it to atone for my sin of [not selling the tickets on time and thus holding the band back]!"

"Don't take out something this important casually! And where did you get it from?"

Ichichi Hongxia exclaimed in surprise.

"Goto-kun, take it back!"

Kita Ikuyo pushed the piggy bank back in front of Goto Ichiri.

"Thank you. I'll put it to good use. I'll put in a few good words for you in front of the judge."

Yamada Ryo reached out to grab the piggy bank, and was slapped on the hand by Ijichi Hongka.

"cold!!!"

Yi Dizhi Hongxia said angrily.

"Senior Liang... so bad..."

Kita Ikuyo showed a disappointed expression.

"?!"

Once again being evaluated like this by his former fangirl, Yamada Ryo's body trembled violently.

"That's what I'm saying... Kita-chan, you kind of understand what kind of person Ryo is, right?"

"…bullying the blind? And the poverty and greed caused by not knowing how to manage money?"

"More than that."

Ijichi Hongka walked behind Yamada Ryo, grabbed Yamada Ryo's head, and shook it.

Dong bell jingle

Kita Ikuyo opened her eyes wide.

"What is this sound?!"

"Because the surface of my brain is too smooth, and because of years of malnutrition, my brain has atrophied. Bad lifestyle habits have also led to hardening of my brain tissue. Now my head has become like a large bell, and the slightest shake makes this sound."

"This is too outrageous! He usually looks so intelligent!!"

Kita Ikuyo asked wailingly.

"That was just daydreaming without thinking about anything."

Ijichi Hongxia explained with a smile.

"Sometimes you accidentally show a handsome expression?!"

"That was actually Liang's helpless smile because he forgot what he was thinking a second ago."

"But you weren't smiling after that?!"

"Because I forget I'm going to laugh when I'm going to laugh."

"Isn't this a pure single-celled organism?"

Kita Ikuyo banged his head on the table.

"Forget it, forget it! I've already demystified Liang-senpai! But suddenly telling me that Liang-senpai is mentally retarded is too much!"

Bang bang bang!

Yamada Ryo looked at Kita Ikuyo and was about to smile.

Then he forgot, and his expression froze between smiling and not smiling.

"Humph~"

Yamada Ryo showed an evil expression that was neither a smile nor a smile.

despair.

Footsteps were heard and the four of them looked at the person coming at the same time.

With a helpless look on her face, Ijichi Xingge put one hand on her waist and sighed.

"Stop messing around, Qing hasn't come back yet, go out and take a look."

"Hasn't the kitten come back yet?"

Ijichi Hongxia was slightly stunned.

"By the way, where is Nekayashiki-senpai?"

Kita Ikuyo asked Ichichi Hoshige.

Ichichi Hoshige sighed.

"Going to pick someone up..."

...

……

.........

"Qing! Qing! Please forgive me just once! I will never drink again! Let me live back in your house! Life without a bathroom is too painful! I really will never drink again!"

Hiroi Kikuri begged while holding the cat Yashiki Haru.

"...it's not credible at all for you to say this while reeking of alcohol."

Nekayashiki Haru ignored Hiroi Kikuri who was hugging his waist.

"Don't be angry, Xiaoqing. Kikuri has actually been very restrained lately."

Eliza, who was carrying a large bag, said this, raising her hand and showing two fingers.

"I only drank two bottles a day!"

“…Indeed, there has been some progress.”

Iwashita Shima nodded and said.

"By the way, Qing, I haven't apologized to you last time. I'm sorry. Those two have caused you trouble again."

Narrowing his wine-red eyes, Iwashita Shima apologized.

"Well, I'm used to it. Shima doesn't have to apologize to me every time."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head and patted Hiroi Kikuri on the head.

"Let me go. When you only drink one box of Demon Slayer every day, I will let you continue to live in my house."

“…5 boxes, please?”

"No, if you really want to live here, then work hard."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a decisive voice.

Hiroi Kikuri sighed with a bitter face.

"By the way, what exactly do you want to see me about?"

Nekoyashiki Haru asked, suddenly remembering that he had not yet asked these people their purpose.

"Fireworks! Looks like there's a temple fair nearby! We came to find you, Qing, to participate!"

Eliza said as she straightened the large backpack behind her.

"I brought a lot of yukatas, you can take your time to choose when the time comes."

"temple fair…"

Nekoyashiki Haru was slightly stunned.

Then he asked Eliza.

"Shouldn't yukata and other things usually be put on before coming here?"

"Kikuri is a poor soul who didn't wear a yukata to the temple fair, and Shima doesn't seem to want to wear a yukata on the street either."

Eliza explained.

"I won't wear it later."

Shima Iwashita said.

"What's the difference between Japanese people not wearing yukata at temple festivals and French people refusing to surrender on the battlefield?"

Eliza retorted to Shima Iwashita.

"Stereotypes are too serious! Don't apply what you learned from anime to Japanese people, really..."

Iwashita Shima sighed and said.

Nekoyashiki Haru dragged Hiroi Kikuri and walked towards the stars with the two people beside him.

At the gate of stars.

The yellow-haired girl who came out to see if Nekayashiki Haru had returned noticed four people approaching from a distance.

"Ah! Kitten!"

Ijichi Hongxia ran over while shouting.

"… Seriously, why did you take so long? By the way, why is Kikuri-senpai here too? Who are the other two?"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the other two unfamiliar people.

"My name is Shimizu Elisa! Just call me Elisa. I'm the guitarist of the band Kikuri, and I'm also Xiaoqing's soulmate!"

“…I don’t recall that happening.”

Nekoyashiki Haru said, but Iwashita Shima's self-introduction drowned out his voice.
