Social phobia and lonely rock

"What's next?"

When Ishikawa Hayabusa saw that her attitude was gradually changing, he knew that she accepted it.

"Take it easy, do as much as you can, and then start again when you are fully prepared."

“This is too…”

Hongo Tianyu disagreed.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't give her a chance to refute.

“Do your best and then help others. This is the most basic thing. Besides, my band is just in its infancy.”

Hongo Tianyu's expression gradually became strange.

"You just want to fall in love."

Ishikawa Hayabusa whistled guiltily, but after a long time he couldn't resist Hongo Tenyu's persistent gaze.

"But it's true that we can't be impatient. Besides, maybe the world will be better in the future and we won't need to do this, or maybe someone has already planned to do it. Then can't we just have fun at ease?"

"I don't want to be beaten to the punch by someone else! Never mind...Okay, don't hold me up again this time."

"If I don't make you an agreement, won't you kill me with a knife if the band breaks up?"

Hongo Tianyu was stunned. After she came to her senses, she stood up angrily and kicked Ishikawa Hayabusa's legs one by one.

"You bastard, bastard, bastard!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa shouted while hiding.

"Pervert! Please call me pervert!"

...

Sunday night.

Pochi felt that since Ishikawa Hayabusa was away for the past two days, the four of them were not as active as before when they were together.

Kita and Nijixia tried hard to lead the conversation, but for some reason it just felt chaotic.

Yesterday was fine, but today...

But tomorrow, the falcon will be back.

Pochi was sitting in the closet, smiling and looking forward to going to school with Ishikawa Hayabusa tomorrow, but suddenly, she received a message.

Ishikawa Hayabusa: "Pochi, you don't have to wait for me tomorrow. I'm taking a day off."

Pochi was shocked

Ask for leave?

What happened? She was full of questions, why was it so sudden?

Wait, maybe it’s because Falcon went to help.

Could it be that the falcon was left behind over there?

Pochi thought about it carefully.

The falcon would definitely not be kept back by force, so there was only one possibility.

When she thought of this possibility, she suddenly became scared and took out her cell phone and sent the message without thinking.

Pochi: "Falcon, I don't know how big the breasts of the girls over there are, but I usually wrap them up a little bit! They must not be smaller than theirs."

Ishikawa Hayabusa answered after a while.

"Don't wrap it up when you go back the day after tomorrow so I can see it."

Pochi heaved a sigh of relief and fell to the ground.

But after her head hit the floor, she suddenly woke up.

Look, look...look?!

Just as she was beginning to melt from overload, her phone rang again with the sound of an incoming message.

This time it’s Hongxia’s.

"Pochi-chan, are you going to Hayabusa's house tomorrow? Hayabusa hasn't been home these past two days and hasn't given a reason yet. Hibiki is a little worried about him. I plan to go to Hayabusa's house tomorrow and explain to him."

I haven't been home for two days...

Pochi hesitated for a moment, but didn't think about it and replied.

"I'll go as well."

...

After school.

Pochi and Kita walked towards the station.

She could sense that Kita was also feeling heavy-hearted.

Bochi was not surprised at all. She could see that everyone in the band liked Falcon to some extent.

If it was just everyone in the band, she wouldn't mind, after all, Falcon would still be by her side.

But what others say...

Kita was depressed for a while, then tried to chat with Pochi. Although her previous actions often caused Pochi to suffer critical hits, she now gradually understood what she could not tell Pochi.

But seeing that Pochi was so reserved and his eyes were flickering in panic, she had no choice but to stop forcing him.

When they arrived at Shimokitazawa, they reunited with Nijiga and Ryo, and the four of them headed to Ishikawa Hayabusa's house together.

After a brief greeting, they sat on the train. Kita found that the other three had little interest in chatting. The situation was worse than the previous two days.

She also knew the reason.

But in this situation, she thought it would be better to speak out, because keeping it in her heart would be a painful thing.

After carefully choosing his words, he then bluntly complained to Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was probably already enjoying himself.

"Speaking of which, is it possible that the perverted harem man has not returned? Didn't Miss Hongo say that many people over there like him?"

After listening to her, Pochi blinked and suddenly shouted.

"Will not!"

But after shouting, Pochi came back to his senses all of a sudden, and put his frightened hands in front of him as if to protect himself in resistance.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry for getting carried away."

Kita wasn't surprised by Pochi's reaction and she quickly apologized.

"No, I am the one who said such thoughtless words."

Liang looked at Kita with some surprise, and she smiled barely perceptible.

"Well, Falcon and I agreed that he would come back. Besides, he took two days off, so he should be at the store in the evening."

Seeing everyone relaxed, Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Yeah, don't worry too much, Pochi-chan."

...

When they arrived at Ishikawa's house, Xiang was already waiting at the door to greet them.

When the four saw that worry was written all over Xiang's face, they couldn't help but think that Ishikawa Hayabusa was really well-liked and that so many people cared about him.

They walked up to greet Ishikawa Hibiki.

Although Ishikawa Hibiki was worried, she still received the four people in a serious manner and did not ask any questions in a hurry.

He welcomed them in, handed slippers to the four of them, took them to their rooms, and brought them drinks and snacks.

Finally, she sat upright in the seat reserved for her by the four people and slowly asked Hong Xia.

"Sister Hongxia, what has my brother been doing recently?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa had previously informed his family that he would be going to help a friend for two days and would not be coming back. Xiang felt that what he said was not that simple.

She had no choice but to ask people everywhere.

Hongxia felt that it was not appropriate for her, as an outsider, to interfere in Ishikawa Hayabusa's family affairs, but when she thought of the anxious voice on the phone before, she felt that she should still make it clear.

She was also worried that Xiang might do something dangerous after hearing it, so she chose to talk to him in person.

She paid attention to Xiang's reaction and calmly told him what happened that day bit by bit.

...

"That's all we know. As for why Hayabusa didn't go home, we don't know either."

Hongxia finished speaking, but she saw Xiang gradually relieved, and then he whispered as if he couldn't help it.

"Idiot brother."

The four looked at Xiang in surprise, not understanding why she reacted like that.

Kita looked at Xiang and seemed to know something, so she asked with concern.

"Um, Xiang?"

After Xiang knew what Ishikawa Hayabusa was going to do, she was no longer worried about him. She glanced at the people who might be her sister-in-law, and her heart was conflicted for a moment. She explained to them with a hint of boasting.

"Actually my brother wouldn't do such a thing. He's a very cold person."

"As far as I can remember, he has never been interested in anything. He always plays by himself and won't even go to see if there's a quarrel at home."

"Eh? Was Ishikawa/Hayabusa-kun like this before?"

Kita and Nijixia shouted in surprise, and Pochi and Ryo looked at her uncertainly.

Xiang nodded, she stood up, walked to the closet, opened it and took out a book from a corner.

After she came over, the four of them saw that it was a photo album.

Xiang opened the album, skipping the first few pages and showing them.

"You can tell from the photos how cold and indifferent my brother used to be."

The four of them leaned forward to look, and the page that Xiang unfolded had a photo of Ishikawa Hayabusa when he was about six years old.

He put his hands in his pockets, his face was expressionless and his eyes showed no emotion at all.

It seemed like he was called and turned around to cooperate in the photo shoot, even in other photos with his family.

The four of them couldn't help but be surprised at Ishikawa Hayabusa's indifference at that time. At the same time, they felt that Ishikawa Hayabusa was really cute when he was a child. They couldn't imagine that he would become like this when he grew up.

Liang tried to reach out and turn the page, but Xiang kept holding the corners of the album and showed no intention of letting go.

Liang had no choice but to give up.

On the other side, Kita tried to seek advice from Hongxia with his eyes.

Hongxia swallowed and shook her head.

Kita means, is this something a normal sister would do?

Hongxia's reaction was that she also had photos of her sister, but she would not hide the album, nor would she be so vigilant as to not show it to others. Moreover, it was a very strange thing for a sister to collect photos of her brother.

"What happened next?" Liang looked at the photo album again and asked Xiang.

Hibiki shook his head, "I don't know either."

The four were puzzled, and Xiang continued

"When I first entered primary school, I had a fight with my classmates. Two of them beat me up. At that time, my parents separated and I lived with my mother."

"When the teacher asked the parents to come over, my mother was not available, so my father was asked to come over, and I was taken back to my father's house."

"My brother was still as aloof as he was in the second grade. I sat on one side of the sofa and he sat on the other side reading a book."

"But when my dad was arguing with my mom on the phone, he suddenly asked me, 'Are you being bullied?'"

"I ignored him, and he ignored me afterwards."

"Until the second time I went to Dad's house, when Mom and Dad were arguing face to face, he took out something."

Xiang reached out and pulled out a wooden box from her bedside table, pulling out a note from it with a smile full of memories.
