Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Will this be any better?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"...it didn't really work...but thank you, Kita."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"That's good…"

Kita Ikuyo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior, thank you for all the hard work you have done."

"If the past I described to you is what makes you sigh now... at least I want to tell you now that I don't care anymore."

"Well, I know."

Kita Ikuyo narrowed her yellow-green eyes.

In front of her was the tall yet thin back of the boy, and Kita Ikuyo could faintly smell the faint scent of digital products on the boy.

Snapped----

The fireworks continued to bloom.

"Red, gold, little by little, they gathered into a flower, blossomed in the night sky, and then turned into a green tail."

Kita Ikuyo described.

"Ah."

Snapped----

"This time it's pink and in the shape of a heart. I wonder how this kind of fireworks are made."

"I don't quite understand."

Snapped----

"This time it's..."

Kita Ikuyo described the fireworks that appeared, but her eyes were completely focused on Nekayashiki Haru.

The seniors have actually been working hard.

Life with blindness must be very hard.

Although he always says that he no longer cares, he still likes people around him to describe the weather to him.

My senior loved to paint, but he couldn’t do it anymore after he became blind.

It must be painful to lose the ability to continue doing things you once enjoyed.

But he still kept moving forward.

Really... so sparkly.

Snapped----

At the moment when another firework bloomed, Kita Ikuyo suddenly withdrew her hand.

“■■■■■.”

"?"

The sound in his ears was drowned out by the sound of fireworks, and Nekayashiki Haru only felt that Kita Ikuyo seemed to say something softly.

But I didn't hear the specific content at all.

"Xiduo, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."

"I say we should go find other people! We should all watch the fireworks together."

Kita Ikuyo grabbed Nekaya Shikiharu's hand.

"Okay, let's go!"

Chapter 73 Perfect State

"Congratulations, Pochi, the tickets are sold."

Yamada Ryo said as he looked at Goto Ichiri who was grinning foolishly.

"Hehe...Luckily everyone in the Big Sister Band is willing to buy my ticket..."

Goto Ichiri scratched his head and laughed.

"Kitty, where did you and Kitty go just now?"

Ijichi Nijinaka asked Nekoyashiki Haru.

"I was taking pictures in the forest when my senior heard my guitar and came over. It was fireworks time, so I dragged him along to watch the fireworks for a while."

Before Nekayashiki Haru could answer, Kita Ikuyo explained first.

"The kitten can't see..."

Ichichi Hongxia said.

"Didn't I describe this to him?"

Kita Ikuyo put her hands behind her back and laughed softly.

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia was stunned for a moment.

"Yeah...that's right, you're here, Kitty-chan...haha...Kitty is so lucky to have a friend like you."

Ijichi Nikka smiled and elbowed Nekayashiki Haru's forearm.

"Have you thanked me well, Kitty?"

"I…"

Nekayashiki Haru was about to speak, but was interrupted by Kita Ikuyo again.

"Senior, you've helped me so much, why should I thank you for such a small thing?"

Kita Ikuyo continued with a smile.

"And I have completely accepted you as my teacher!"

"Ugh?"

"It's not just guitar. I'll also learn other instruments that my seniors can play little by little!"

“…It will probably take a long time…”

"It's okay. Senior and I have plenty of time."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia nodded silently.

Kita Ikuyo narrowed her eyes but said nothing.

Nekayashiki Haru's keen blind perception suddenly made him feel that something was wrong with the current atmosphere.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he still asked the question to change the subject.

"Ahem! By the way, your performance should be starting soon, right? Do you have your team uniforms prepared?"

"I plan to discuss it with everyone tomorrow."

Ijichi Hongxia nodded and said.

"Team uniforms... T-shirts?"

Kita Ikuyo asked.

"Here's what I thought: it's simple and cheap, and if I print the band logo on it, it'll give us a sense of unity."

"I haven't participated in clothing design yet, so I'm looking forward to it!"

"Hey, let's discuss this together tomorrow."

Feeling the relaxed atmosphere, Nekayashiki Haru breathed a sigh of relief.

Snapped!

Suddenly, someone put his arm around Nekayashiki Haru's shoulder from behind.

"Xiaoqing, where did you go? I couldn't find you when I wanted to watch the fireworks..."

Eliza cried and leaned against Nekoyashiki Haru.

"I still want to watch the fireworks with you..."

"Hey... didn't you just run away as soon as you came here? I should be the one asking you where you went."

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"Xiaoqing, are you blaming me for not bringing you along?"

"…No…"

"You're shy! So cute hehe..."

Eliza moved a little closer, and Nekayashiki could smell alcohol.

"Have you been drinking?!"

"A little bit."

Eliza said with a smile, and this time she completely pressed her body against Nekayashiki Haru.

Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nijinka stood on either side, looking expressionlessly at the two deformed lumps of Eliza as she stuck to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"... "

Kita Ikuyo slowly narrowed her eyes.

"... "

The phone that Ijichi Hongxia was holding was tightened, and the volume button and power button of the phone were pressed at the same time, which brought out the voice assistant.

"Miss Eliza, please don't get so close to others when you're drunk."

Kita Ikuyo smiled and pulled Eliza towards her.

"That's right."

Ijichi Nikka smiled and pulled Nekayashiki Haru towards her.

"Hey? Don't let me leave Xiaoqing!"

Eliza cried.

"Hey, be quiet... don't make fun of the younger generations..."

Hearing the voice behind her persuading her, Eliza didn't think about it, but turned around and shouted.

"Shima... huh?"

Eliza was suddenly stunned, and the other two were stunned at the same time.

The person standing in front of the three people at this moment was actually Hiroi Kikuri!

"...Xiaoqing, do you have any ophthalmologist recommendations?"

"No…"

Nekoyashiki Haru, who had long recognized Hiroi Kikuri, shook his head.

"Isn't it strange for Hiroi-senpai to say something like that?!"

Ijichi Hongxia was shocked.

Kita Ikuyo looked at the others behind Hiroi Kikuri and found that Iwashita Shima and Ijichi Seika also had shocked expressions.

Iwashita Shima swallowed and guessed.

"Kirori, having only drunk two bottles of Demon Slayer, while still not drunk but still in a state of alcohol, has become serious due to her worry about the future and the slight rage in her heart, and has developed a determination to escape a hopeless future?!"

"Perfect condition?!"
