Lonely Rock for the Blind

"My name is Iwashita Shima, and I'm the drummer."

Iwashita Shima bowed slightly.

"Haru and Kikuri must have caused you a lot of trouble here. I'm sorry."

"... "

Ijichi Hongxia stared blankly at the two people she didn't know or had never heard of.

He looked at Nekayashiki Haru, then at the other two.

What is soulmate?

What do you mean Qing is causing us trouble?

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly felt her good mood disappear.

Chapter 67: Temple Fair (Fifth Update)

"Ah, Ijichi-senpai and Senpai are back!"

Kita Ikuyo laughed when she saw the two people walking into the stars, but she was stunned the next moment.

Because from behind the two of them, except for Hiroi Kikuri and Kita Ikuyo, I have never seen the other two people before.

However, Kita Ikuyo was just stunned because it was their first meeting, not scared.

Unlike Goto Ichiri, who clearly knew the identities of several people, he was hiding under the table at this moment.

"Who are you two?"

When the group walked up to Kita Ikuyo and others, Kita Ikuyo immediately smiled and asked.

"Eliza Shimizu! She's the guitarist for the band Kikuri! She lived in England until she was 18, and this is her third year in Japan!"

Eliza introduced herself with a smile.

"A foreigner?"

Kita Ikuyo said in surprise.

"My name is Iwashita Shima, and I'm the drummer."

Shima Iwashita smiled.

"Please give me more advice."

"Well! Please give me your guidance! Just call me Kita. I'm the lead guitarist of the band End."

"Aren't you Xiaohong?"

Eliza next to him suddenly asked in confusion.

"Why...why is it Xiaohong..."

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head as Iwashita Shima explained.

"Jiuri told us about you...but we always called you Xiaohong."

Kita Ikuyo's face fell, and then she looked at Hiroi Kikuri.

"Hey, hey, sorry."

Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head and apologized.

Nekayashiki Haru did not join in the conversation, but walked to the table and sat down.

Yamada Ryo came over.

"What are they here for? To kidnap someone?"

"What do you mean by robbing people?"

Nekayashiki Haru asked in confusion, but Yamada Ryo didn't answer.

After waiting for a while, Nekayashiki Haru sighed and explained.

"They said there's a temple fair nearby and they want me to go. Are you guys going?"

"Oh."

Yamada Ryo nodded and continued.

"I want to go."

"...Then go ahead...wait a moment..."

Nekoyashiki Haru tilted his head, feeling his forearm being pulled.

"Why are you grabbing my hand?"

"…Lend me some money for the temple fair."

"...Did you spend the money I gave you for dinner last time?"

"No, I bought several boxes of instant noodles to maximize efficiency."

"... "

Nekayashiki Haru pulled his wallet out of his pocket, took out a few bills and handed them to Yamada Ryo.

"Is this enough?"

"enough."

"By the way, you haven't returned the money you borrowed from me the first time..."

Yamada Ryo took out half of the money he had just taken and returned it to Nekayashiki Haru.

"The rest will be together next month!"

Yamada Ryo nodded seriously and said.

"…well."

Nekoyashiki Haru said nothing, but just sighed.

On the other side, Kita Ikuyo has completely become friends with several people.

"Hiroi is indeed like this. He's extremely troublesome when he's not drinking, and extremely annoying when he's drinking. I'm sorry to trouble you, Kita."

Shima Iwashita said with a smile.

"No, no, although Senior Hiroi is annoying, has bad character, and lacks self-awareness, he actually does have a good side."

Kita Ikuyo also explained with a polite smile, although there was no further development after "the good side".

Eliza looked around.

"Strange, where did the girl who just brought us in go?"

"Ah, that's true. Where's Ijichi-senpai?"

"At this."

Ijichi Hongxia, who was holding a cup of drink, poked her head out from behind the drink.

"Xiao Xiduo, please help me get it."

"Ah! Okay!"

Kita Ikuyo stepped forward and took the drink.

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the others.

"You've been walking for so long, why don't you sit down and rest for a while? Why are you always standing?"

Ijichi Hongxia led [SICK HACK] and others to sit down.

"By the way, what are you guys here for?"

"Find Xiaoqing to participate in the temple fair!"

Eliza said.

Kita Ikuyo was slightly stunned.

Goto Ichiri also poked his head out from under the table.

Yamada Ryo drank his drink without saying anything.

"Then just go ahead, why are you here?"

Ichichi Hoshige walked over and asked.

"?!"

Ichichi Hongxia suddenly realized something and shook her head violently.

First he looked at Ichichi Hoshige.

Then he looked at Shimizu Eliza.

Then he looked at Ichichi Hoshige.

This cycle repeats itself.

As if?! I didn’t even notice it just now!

Ijichi Hongxia was stunned.

"Because we need to find a place to change clothes, and Xiaoqing said she wanted to ask if you guys want to go, so we came to Fanxing first!"

Eliza untied the large bag from behind her and placed it on the table.

Stab ~

The zipper unzipped and Eliza held the bag open.

There is a dazzling array of various yukatas neatly stacked in the backpack.

"Look! I brought more than a dozen pieces! They're all new!"

“…Why did Miss Eliza buy so many yukatas?”

Kita Ikuyo asked.

“…I wanted to go there the first year I arrived in Japan, but I never had the chance. Every year I bought several yukatas, but every year no one went…”

"This...is like this..."

A drop of cold sweat ran down Kita Ikuyo's forehead.

"Anyway! Are you guys going?! We can give you the yukata right away!"

Eliza suddenly became excited.

"No...actually, it's okay not to wear a yukata, right?"

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head.

"Those are the French who won't surrender!"

"A metaphor with no clear meaning?!"

Eliza shook her head.

"NO! Japanese people always wear yukata when they go to temple fairs!"

“…When did this happen…when you had no clothes to wear?”

Ijichi Hoshige said, then sat down next to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"It's always like this in anime! Don't you know it's the younger generation?!"

Eliza said, wavering.

"No... I'm not interested in anime..."

Kita Ikuyo said.

"I watch it occasionally, but most of what's in anime is just artistic processing. There's very little you can believe. For example, not all Japanese high school students actually like fried noodles and bread."

Ijichi Hongxia raised a finger and said.

"impossible!!!"
