Social phobia and lonely rock

They crossed paths with Ishikawa Hayabusa and Pochi.

Ishikawa Hayabusa also heard the two talking about tonight's dinner and their next trip to the barbecue restaurant to eat barbecue.

Beside him, Pochi hesitated to speak, she couldn't decide whether to speak or not.

She looked up at Ishikawa Hayabusa and found that he was also looking at the couple she had spotted earlier. She thought about it and moved closer to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa came to his senses, Pochi's arm had touched his waist, and he also felt his arm vaguely touching Pochi's chest.

Because the distance was so unpredictable, he wasn't even sure if he had touched it.

This feeling made him feel refreshed.

He glanced at Pochi, but she had her head down, her bangs covering her eyes, so he couldn't tell if she did it on purpose or by accident.

Pochi suddenly spoke at this time.

"Falcon, I'm sorry...I didn't dare to speak up for you this afternoon."

When Ishikawa Hayabusa heard Pochi's idea, he felt quite happy. He held Pochi's soft little hand slightly tighter and asked back with a smile.

"There's none?"

He looked at Pochi who looked up with a look of surprise and continued.

"Although Ryou covered up the sound, I still heard Pochi say something like 'Don't force others to do something they don't want to do'."

Ishikawa Hayabusa was not talking nonsense, he really heard it.

But the sound was really smaller than a mosquito. I guess Pochi herself was not sure whether she was thinking it or saying it out loud.

A smile soon appeared on Pochi's surprised face, and he happily moved closer to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was stunned for a moment, took a breath, and looked up at the sky. The bright moon was hanging high in the night sky, illuminating his surroundings.

Today's moon is as soft as cotton candy. If you press your finger on it, it will quickly collapse like a lunar eclipse, and once you release your finger, it will immediately return to a round full moon.

I want to rub it!

His hands made a horrible squeaking sound.

As if she was unaware, Pochi leaned against Ishikawa Hayabusa for a while, then she thought of something and said to him.

"Falcon, I've decided that I want to live with you next semester. I've also told mom and dad about it."

Ishikawa Hayabusa, who originally wanted to confirm, took back his words after hearing the second half of Pochi's words.

"Okay then, at the end of summer vacation, we'll look for a rental house here together."

"Ok!"

...

The next day, Chihu Station.

Today it is the turn of Ishikawa Hayabusa and others.

In his previous dates with Pochi, Pochi would always wait for him. He usually arrived a few minutes early, but he never asked how long Pochi had been waiting.

This is a question that can easily make you feel depressed.

He leaned against the pillar beside the platform, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the blue and white sky.

This kind of scenery is caused by the high water vapor content. When the temperature rises, the sky will turn blue again.

"It's going to rain soon."

Ishikawa Hayabusa murmured.

He looked up at the sky and waited for more than ten minutes. Another tram entered the platform and he saw Liang Cai yawning and getting off the tram.

Liang was wearing a three-quarter-sleeved dark blue patterned shirt, black trousers, and headphones on his head.

The way she was dressed seemed more like she was going to see a show or enjoy some alone time than going on a date.

As soon as Liang stepped onto the platform, she looked around and reached into her trouser pocket to take out her cell phone.

But when she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa, she put her phone back. She looked like she was ready to call someone without even seeing him.

Ishikawa Hayabusa walked up to her and spoke calmly.

"you are late."

Liang didn't follow his topic, nor did she say "This is fate's choice." She took off her headphones and handed them to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"The headphones we agreed on last time."

Seeing that she seemed to have just thought of a way to repay the debt, Ishikawa Hayabusa did not continue to embarrass her and took the headphones.

He was touching his earphones and was about to say something weird, but Ryo stepped out, looking like he didn't want to hear it.

Ishikawa Hayabusa had no choice but to shut up and follow.

The two walked out of Chihu Station, and Liang picked up his phone to check the route.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her slender fingers, then looked down at the pants she was wearing, with a look of pity on his face.

"Liang, where are you going today?"

After Liang confirmed the route, he put his phone back in his pocket and turned to him.

"hotel."

Her eyes stayed on Ishikawa Hayabusa's serious expression, which was taken aback for a moment but quickly prepared, and she continued, "Ruins."

"Sister Liang, please stop breathing so hard, okay?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa realized that he was being teased and said in a dissatisfied manner.

Liang immediately changed the subject and spoke as she took a step forward.

"Didn't you say you would go over to help today?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa followed her footsteps and said in a flattering manner, "I have already made an agreement with Sister Liang. How can I give up because of such a small matter?"

Liang walked leisurely on the street, glancing around her with a little disdain.

"You just want to see my legs?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa answered firmly without thinking.

"Yes, that's right!"

After coming out of the station and walking the same path he and Pochi had walked, Ryo went to the other side at a fork in the road.

She walked on the inside of the road, browsing the shops nearby, but Ishikawa Hayabusa could tell that her attention was focused on the conversation with him.

However, this time she hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"It's just a small matter, but you are so cruel."

Ishikawa Hayabusa felt that she still had some guilt and entanglement in her heart. Under her sometimes funny and sometimes cold exterior was such a delicate heart.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa did not comfort her. What she needed was not meaningless words, but answers.

"I can't help it. I just want to stick to the shell and keep it like this. It's really just a small thing."

Liang stopped at the bus stop. She turned her head and looked directly at Ishikawa Hayabusa with her golden eyes, as if to put pressure on him.

"So what's the new method you're talking about?"

As she expected, Ishikawa Hayabusa refused to answer.

"Keep it a secret from Ryo."

He smiled lightly.

94. Zero

"Come to think of it, Hongo is also very cute, why didn't you do anything to her then?"

"This topic..."

"Can't you tell me?"

"No, I knew her in junior high school. After all, it's not okay to be with a junior high school girl. After blocking her for a long time, I don't have any feelings for her at all. Besides, she is a workaholic."

"A junior high school student who is obsessed with work."

Liang didn't know how to complain.

The date with Liang ended in the afternoon, and they took the train to Shimokitazawa to say goodbye. Liang told him that he would go to the second-hand clothing store and CD store afterwards and then left.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her and felt that she was hinting that he could accompany her to these places next time.

It may also be that they don't want him to never come back.

At that time, Ishikawa Hayabusa expressed it seriously.

"Very good. I will treat these places as places where Liang often hangs out. In the future, I will secretly look for Liang in my free time. When I find him, I will treat it as a chance encounter. Then we will start a romantic afternoon together and end with a hug."

"A stalker?"

"Stalking itself is my area of ​​business."

Liang chuckled lightly, without saying whether she agreed or disagreed. Her gaze stayed on Ishikawa Hayabusa's eyes for a while, then she turned and left silently.

Only Ishikawa Hayabusa was left alone at the station.

Looking at her back, Ishikawa Hayabusa had to admit that the feeling of people of the same type coming into contact with each other is like two magnets. Once they come into contact, they want to get closer and closer.

He wondered if Ryoya was like that.

However, he could feel that Liang was not at all repulsed by his approaching steps.

Only when he caught the train that would take him back to his home did Ishikawa Hayabusa pat his cheeks to wash away the feeling of coldness.

Time to get down to business.

He perked up, his eyes gradually becoming sharper under his slightly longer bangs.

...

After returning to Kawaguchi City, Ishikawa Hayabusa did not go home, but walked in another direction.

Ishikawa Hayabusa walked a little faster, briskly passing by a girl strolling on the street and a family of three with a child.

Before they knew it, he had disappeared from their sight.

Kawaguchi City is separated from Tokyo by only the Arakawa River, and many people live in Arakawa but work and study in Tokyo.

As a city close to Tokyo, the pace of life here inevitably follows that of Tokyo, but the only person who seems to be in such a hurry on weekends is Ishikawa Hayabusa.

After walking for a while, he arrived near a high school.

Before he got close, he could hear the song of youth wrapped in sweat and sand from afar.

The neat sports slogans mixed with the summer heat, and the accompanying cheers and shouts drowned out the shrill cicada chirping.

The school is known for its strong sports clubs.

Most of his former classmates and club friends chose this high school, and Hongo Tianyu is also here.

They probably thought that he might come here.

Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced at the school gate not far away. People like him who were from other schools were generally not allowed to enter the school.

So he had no intention of taking the right path.

At any rate, he could ensure that he would not be seen by anyone other than his acquaintances, thus not causing any trouble for the guards.

He jumped on the spot, stepped onto the wall, and used the momentum to leap directly into the school.

Not a speck of dust was stirred up.

Pervert invasion!

Ishikawa Hayabusa posed, then ran to the corner like lightning, took out his cell phone and called Hongo Tenyu.

The call was connected after a while.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

A voice mixed with honorifics and indifference came from the other end of the phone.

"I'll help you one last time and tell you my current plan."
