Lonely Rock for the Blind

Otsuki Yuyuko's eyes narrowed a little more and her brows furrowed.

Is myopia getting worse? I still can’t see clearly even with this...

Otsuki Yuyuko narrowed her eyes into slits again.

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide.

Does this guy hate me so much?!

"...I'm the drummer...what's wrong?"

Ijichi Hongka decided it would be better to finish answering the questions first.

Otsuki Youyou's bullet eyes finally focused successfully, and then he looked up and down at Ijichi Hongka.

“…Look…it doesn’t look like a big deal…”

What the hell?! Why does this guy seem so cheerful and cheerful?! Is he the type with a lot of friends?

"...Uh...well, our band is really just starting out, so there may be a lot of shortcomings, but..."

"I, I'm not interested in your band! I only came because Qing-senpai invited me... No, I came because Qing-senpai asked me to! Otherwise, I wouldn't come at all!"

Otsuki Yuyuko turned around and said.

Kita Ikuyo, who was watching the situation nearby, was stunned for a moment.

Senior Qing?

"... "

The room suddenly became quiet.

Otsuki Yuyuko was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found that Ijichi Hongka lowered her head and sighed.

"?!"

Otsuki Yuyuko opened her mouth and waved her hands, looking at the adults behind her.

"That's too much, Yuyuko~"

Hiroi Kikuri said with a smile.

By the way, she drank 3 boxes today.

"That's a bit excessive."

Iwashita Shima nodded in agreement.

Eliza continued to watch with a smile.

"Everyone...it's okay! After all, the band has just started! Things will definitely get better in the future!"

Ijichi Hongxia had already walked up to her members and forced herself to comfort them.

"?!?!"

Otsuki Yuyuko opened her eyes wide, then took a step forward, then two steps back.

What, what, what should I do?! Are you sad?! Did I say too much?

Wait? It seems like that's a bit too much?

Seeing the four people who had just finished their band in the distance almost hugging each other to comfort each other, Otsuki Yuyuko finally couldn't stand it anymore.

She ran over to the four members of the closing band.

"Even though I'm not interested, it doesn't mean I won't be interested in the future! It all depends on your performance! You understand! I'm not looking down on you, it's just...ah..."

Otsuki Yuyuko scratched her head, then spoke with her eyes wide open.

“Come on…come on!”

Then he turned around and ran behind Nekoyashiki Haru and hid.

“…”×4

The four of them fell silent at the same time.

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a smile.

"He's a good kid, isn't he?"

"Yeah, she's a tsundere just like her sister!"

Ijichi Hongxia said with a smile.

Kita Ikuyo blinked her yellow-green eyes and looked at Otsuki Yuyuko, who had half of her head sticking out from behind Nekayashiki Haru.

"... "

"Okay! Everyone! Let's go to rehearsal!"

Ijichi Hongxia said with her hands on her hips.

"Everyone! Even though there might not be many of you here, you must give it your all!"

Ichichi Hongxia laughed deliberately.

“Sprint! Charge!!!”

"it is good."

Yamada Ryo was the first to respond.

Because she responded so quickly, Ijichi Hongxia was stunned for a moment, and then she was pushed on the back by Yamada Ryo.

"Let's go."

"…Um!"

Kita Ikuyo next to him was also pulling Goto Ichiri to catch up, but at this moment, Nekayashiki Haru suddenly spoke.

"Ichiri, can you come over for a moment? I want to talk to you."

"Ugh?"

Goto Ichiri tilted his head.

...

……

.........

At the door of Fanxing, raindrops hit the ground violently, and the splashing water was picked up by the wind and hit Goto Ichiri's face, making his head, which had just been drowsy in Fanxing, suddenly clear up.

She looked at the boy standing straight beside her and asked.

"Um, Qing, you're looking for me..."

"Yili, how good are you at playing the guitar."

"Ugh?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, and Nekoyashiki Haru turned to Goto Ichiri.

"I...I'm terrible at guitar, but, but, I'll try my best..."

"Yili, answer me seriously, how good are you at playing the guitar?"

"... "

"Just by the standards of [Poison Cat]."

“…worse than…worse than you…”

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was silent for a moment.

"There should be very few people coming today."

"... "

“But I can multiply people.”

"?"

Goto Ichiri looked at Nekoyashiki Haru.

"But just having a large crowd is meaningless. Yili, if [Poison Cat] doesn't play and just stands there, can you use your guitar to steal the attention from him?"

"…I…"

"This is important, Ichiri."

Nekoyashiki Haru said to Goto Ichiri.

"... "

Goto Ichiri gripped the guitar strap tightly.

"I'll try my best... If I work hard... it should be fine..."

Goto Ichiri's trembling blue pupils scanned the surroundings randomly, but when he found that Nekayashiki Haru was still facing him, Goto Ichiri was stunned, and then his blue eyes met the sunglasses.

"I…I can!"

"That's good."

Nekoyashiki Haru said with a soft smile.

Chapter 76 Drainage

“Sure enough, not many people came…”

Ijichi Hoshige sighed and said to Nekoyashiki Haru beside her.

"How many people are here?"

"Including you, there are only about a dozen of them, and there are basically no other people who come to see them except you."

Ichichi Xingge took a deep breath and clenched his hands nervously.

"This is terrible. It would have been better if the performance was scheduled for next month..."

"It's normal for bands to encounter things like this."

"But it shouldn't be now..."

Ichichi Xingge pursed her lips.

"I know."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da…

Suddenly, chaotic footsteps came from the other side, and Yidizhi Xingge looked up.

I saw a group of people who looked like they were wet from the rain walking in.

"?"

Ijichi Xingge was stunned for a moment, then his red pupils shrank slightly as he noticed the [Poison Cat] badges on several of them.

"…you…"

Ijichi Hoshige looked at Nekoyashiki Haru with a complicated expression.

Nekoyashiki Haru smiled at Ijichi Seika.

"As long as you want to form a band, you're bound to encounter setbacks like this sooner or later. Unexpected circumstances, whether man-made or not, will keep coming before you succeed...

Nekoyashiki Haru lowered his head, put away his blind stick, and spoke softly.

“But it doesn’t have to be at the beginning.”

"... "

Ichichi Hoshige was silent.

"Since we are here, even if it's a typhoon, let's make it go smoothly for them the first time."

Nekayashiki Haru's smile was a little brighter than usual.
