Lonely Rock for the Blind

"Just give it to me, please."

"Ryo shut up!"

Itachi Hongxia helped Nekoya Shikiharu...

"Anyway, get out first..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly froze.

So…thin?

Ijichi Nikka stayed where she was, and Nekayashiki Haru was helped up, but he found that Ijichi Nikka didn't move at all, and he couldn't help but wonder.

"what happened?"

"No...no...it's okay..."

Ijichi Hongka's pupils trembled, she lowered her head slightly, then supported Nekayashiki Haru and walked out the door.

Yamada Ryo looked at Ijichi Nikka silently.

"Pochi, let's walk slower."

“Ah…yes…yes…”

...

……

.........

"Ah? You're getting off work now?"

Ijichi Hoshige looked at Nekoyashiki Haru and asked.

"I'm not familiar enough with the environment yet. If more customers come, I might cause trouble. Give me a few days to get familiar with the environment and then I can work normally."

"Row."

Ijichi Xingge nodded and stood up.

"Shall I take you back?"

"No need, haha. I can almost walk up the stairs outside."

Nekoyashiki Haru threw his blind stick away.

"See you tomorrow, then, everyone."

"…See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Kitty."

"Ah...see you tomorrow...Mr. Nekoyashiki."

Ijichi Xingge narrowed her eyes and took a sip of juice.

"Be careful on the road."

"it is good."

Nekoyashiki Haru left, tapping the ground.

"Then...then I'll take my leave..."

Goto Ichiri bowed with his guitar on his back, then ran out the door.

Ijichi Seika looked at Yamada Ryo who was standing next to her.

"I'm leaving too."

Yamada Ryo walked out the door.

Ichichi Xingge didn't say anything, but said it casually.

"Hongxia, over there are the drinks..."

"That sister, may not have much time today."

Ijichi Hongxia clasped her hands together apologetically.

"I have something to do."

"?"

Then, before Ijichi Hoshige could react, Ijichi Hongxia ran out.

“…Am I alone?”

"And me~"

The woman with black hair and green eyes came out from the side.

"What are you doing here? Go fix the sound system."

"Ah—how heartless, manager."

...

……

.........

worn out…

Snap, snap, snap, snap.

The blind stick tapped the ground, and the expressionless Nekoyashiki Haru walked towards his former home, which was also his current home.

It's really tiring. In fact, in the past few years, he has slept much longer than the average person every day.

Basically, I only exercise for a while when I am performing live.

I usually won't refuse when the drunkard asks me to drink... Although I often can't get over her, if she gives me wine directly, I will drink it without hesitation.

I'm not of legal age yet.

But no matter what, Nekoyashiki Haru just wants to go home, eat, take a shower, and go to sleep.

I don’t want to think about anything else for the time being.

Snap, snap, snap, click.

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly stopped.

Just now...was there a strange sound?

Footsteps?

He looked around subconsciously, but then realized that it was futile.

It's been two years and it's still like this.

Sighing in his heart, Nekoyashiki Haru continued walking towards his home.

...

……

so close.

Ijichi Hongxia hid behind a telephone pole and took a deep breath.

How could I detect a slightly heavier footstep? Even though I couldn't even detect much of a sound myself.

Has the kitten’s hearing reached this level?

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia took another deep breath, and then continued to follow the boy in front quietly.

Come to think of it, why would I do such a perverted thing?

In his mind, he recalled the overly thin touch of Nekayashiki Haru a few minutes ago.

That kind of...

It's obviously strange, so if I have any questions, I can just ask directly, right? So why are you tracking me?

"... "

Because the kitten will definitely not tell me obediently.

Her inner intuition told her so, and Ijichi Nijinaka felt that she knew Nekayashiki Haru better than anyone else.

We have been together since childhood!

He is the one who will hide his own affairs so as not to make others worry.

Even if I can’t see it anymore...

Ijichi Hongxia pursed her lips.

To be honest, she still didn't feel the reality that Nekayashiki Haru couldn't see.

His behavior was very normal. Many of the inconveniences that are common to blind people were treated as jokes in his daily life.

Just kidding, just kidding…just kidding again.

Ijichi Hongxia was a little annoyed by the word joke.

The boy in front walked into the apartment building, and Ijichi Hongxia walked in.

She watched the boy walk towards the elevator while she herself headed for the stairs.

She knew which floor the boy lived on, the 3rd floor, not high, and at this distance I could run faster than the elevator.

The girl ran towards the stairs and soon reached the third floor.

Everything here is a bit shabby, after all, it's an apartment built a long time ago.

I remember that I used to be here, always with my mother, looking for kittens together.

He was very quiet at first and didn't like to talk.

After that, he started talking a little more and would watch cartoons with me when his sister was not around.

She has a gentle voice and beautiful purple eyes.

His home... let me think.

Ding--

The elevator door opened, Nekayashiki Haru walked out of the elevator and walked towards his home, while Ijichi Nikka stayed at the door.

Click.

The key was inserted into the door lock, then pushed open, and Nekoyashiki Haru walked in.

Ijichi Nikka also heard Nekayashiki Haru's footsteps and stepped in at the same time.

He didn't hear anything unusual, maybe he wasn't on guard right now.

Ah…I remember now.

Although the kitten's parents rarely show up, he still keeps his home clean.

Soft furnishings line the room, adorned with richness by the sunlight streaming in from the windows.

But it's night time now.

There is moonlight outside the window at night, so the moonlight shines into the room.

He took a photo of the now empty room.

Chapter 8 Infiltration

Click.

In the moonlight, Ijichi Nijika could see Nekayashiki Haru casually throwing his blind stick against the wall.

He stroked the wall with his hand and walked towards the kitchen. Ichichi Hongxia pursed her lips, took off her shoes to reveal her white socks. She stepped carefully on the wooden floor and then moved towards the kitchen.

She really didn't understand how blind people cooked, and it always felt dangerous.

But the kitten’s body...it’s obvious that it didn’t eat well!
