Lonely Rock for the Blind

Holding Nekayashiki Haru's hand, Kita Ikuyo pulled the boy towards the door.

"?!"

Ijichi Hongxia was in a trance for a moment, and her body followed subconsciously.

Yamada Ryo yawned and pulled Goto Ichiri to follow.

"If we're going in the morning, let's go shopping first!"

Kita Ikuyo turned around and said to Nekayashiki Haru.

In the world of nothingness, the red human figure constructed by sound trembled.

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"Are you happy?"

"Isn't it the same as usual?"

"Be happier."

As soon as Nekayashiki Haru finished speaking, the three people behind him followed.

"Don't run with the kitten, Kita! What if he falls?"

Ijichi Hongxia said a little dissatisfiedly.

"Feel sorry."

Kita Ikuyo nodded and apologized.

"By the way, aren't you going to call the store manager and the others?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekayashiki Haru and asked.

"Ah...those two are too old, so they should just stay in the store."

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"To be honest, they don't have much desire to go out and have fun. If they do go out, they'll probably just end up in some weird places."

“…You’re quite understanding.”

Yamada Ryo blinked.

Nekoyashiki Haru shook his head.

"You've been around women of this age for a long time, so you understand."

Nekoyashiki Haru raised his hand and held up two fingers.

"There are only two kinds of women over 21: drunks and slackers."

"... "

Yamada Ryo blinked and said nothing more.

Goto Ichiri next to him poked his head out.

"My...my mother...should...not be either?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Goto Ichiri.

"You even brought up your mother just to fit in the conversation, Pochi, you rock."

"Eh?!"

Goto Ichiri trembled, and Nekayashiki Haru next to him gently hit Yamada Ryo on the head with his hand knife.

"She can't stand being teased."

“But it’s very interesting.”

Yamada Ryo smiled and the cat house faced Goto Ichiri.

"By the way, is there anything you want to play later, Ichiri?"

"I...I don't know..."

Goto Ichiri hunched his back slightly.

"I can't think of a place where everyone can have fun... Kita-san should have a plan."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head.

"In fact, everyone should be looking forward to you choosing a place."

"Eh?"

"Do you think that if the usually least active member of the band suddenly asks where to go out and play, this kind of thing will definitely surprise the other band members."

“…But…I…”

"Everyone in the band will tolerate you, because that's what a band is."

The corners of Nekayashiki Haru's mouth curved up.

In front, Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo slowed down their pace at the same time.

"So, it's okay for you to be a little more confident in the band. After all, you're such a good guitar player, so why should you be so self-conscious?"

Nekoyashiki Haru shrugged.

"Trust the band. At least in my opinion, they're a group that will share everything good."

Nekayashiki Haru said with a smile.

Chapter 87 Enoshima

On the train, Nekayashiki Haru sat quietly between Ijichi Nikka and Kita Ikuyo, and on the other side of them were Goto Ichiri and Yamada Ryo.

"Kitty, you have quite deep feelings about the band?"

Yamada Ryo suddenly spoke up.

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you still talking about this? You were thinking about this all the time without saying anything on the way here."

"Ah."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"Well, after all, I've seen all sorts of bands."

Nekoyashiki Haru explained.

"As you all know, [Poison Cat] is a band mercenary, so I know quite a few bands."

Kita Ikuyo raised her head.

"Like, what bands are there?"

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru said nothing.

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head.

"senior?"

"Ugh…"

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"The name is meaningless because most of them have disbanded."

"!"

Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide and shook her body.

"Goo!"

Goto Ichiri trembled.

“…No, I was wondering why you guys were so upset when they disbanded…”

Nekoyashiki Haru turned speechlessly towards where Ijichi Kouka was.

"It's scary! If you kill a cow in front of it! Even if the cow hasn't died yet, it will still be scared!"

Yidizhi Hongxia said dissatisfiedly.

"what reason?"

Yamada Ryo's voice rang out.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru was facing the direction of Yamada Ryo.

“It’s hard for a band to last long for a lot of reasons.”

"... "

"Family reasons, not enough to make ends meet."

“…”×4

The four people fell silent at the same time.

This is a surreal question...

Ijichi Hongxia pursed her lips.

If we want to continue forming a band, we need to be prepared for emergencies like this...

"Musicians were messing around, taking drugs and getting into fights."

"Hey! This is entirely their own problem!"

Ijichi Hongxia shouted with her eyes wide open.

"It's their own problem, but actually these are minor issues for the band."

Nekoyashiki Haru leaned his head against the back of his chair.

"Because these are just external factors, as long as they are overcome, they are not serious problems, and the band can still continue...ah, of course, being locked up is what he deserves."

"...Then...what's the internal cause?"

Yamada Ryo spoke up.

"The members don't get along."

Sigh————

Kita Ikuyo covered her heart.

Ding————

Ijichi Hongxia pressed her chest.

Nekayashiki Haru continued.

"I've seen a lot of bands that appear to be on good terms but are actually at odds. On the surface, they're respectful to each other, but behind the scenes, they're attacking each other. It could be because of funding issues, or because they disagree with each other's style and lifestyle. Even more outrageous is that they're in love with the same person."

“?!”×2

Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nijinka lowered their heads at the same time.

"?"

Yamada Ryo watched as the red and yellow head suddenly lowered and tilted slightly.

"I said so much just to tell you..."

Nekoyashiki Haru has a serious expression.

"Harmony among band members is very important. No matter what the problem is, as long as you want to move forward and speak up, you will definitely find a solution. You will find that the solution to many problems is actually very simple, and all you need to do is sit down and talk over a cup of tea."

Nekayashiki Haru's expression softened.

"We share the good times and the bad times. I think this is very important if the band wants to continue. I really want to end the band. At first it might have been just because of you, Hongxia, but after hearing you all perform live, I am really looking forward to you all."
