Social phobia and lonely rock

"Stinky..."

But the voice stopped abruptly in the middle. Ishikawa Jinpei took back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth, suppressed the resentment in his heart and spoke again.

"Falcon, that's not what you said before."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at Pochi and saw that she was looking at him and his father very worriedly, so he said to his father.

"I didn't say you can't watch the show, so don't talk yet."

"Okay, this time I'll pay for another tank of gas, and the car wash, don't forget it."

Hearing his father seemingly talking to him but actually secretly reminding Pochi how much Ishikawa Hayabusa had spent on this trip, Ishikawa Hayabusa couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although my mom is slow in relationships, my dad is also stupid. No wonder they quarreled so much that they were about to get divorced.

"That's it...Falcon..."

As expected, Pochi panicked and quickly pulled her wallet out of her pocket.

It seemed that she also roughly knew the exaggerated amount of these expenses added up, and wanted to pay some of the money to Ishikawa Hayabusa out of her own pocket.

Ishikawa Hayabusa pressed her wallet back and told her not to worry about it, saying it casually.

"I just happened to be in this area with my dad, and when I was about to go to the store, I was worried that Pochi would stupidly run to the station during the typhoon, so I came over to take a look."

He didn't lie, he just changed the order, putting the purpose after the behavior, and fooled the order a little.

This makes sense.

Then he changed the subject, pressing his forehead as if he had a headache.

"I didn't expect you to go in the rain. Your uncle and aunt are really generous..."

This typhoon was quite strong. He was willing to let his daughter go out in such a strong storm. Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't know if this level of behavior could be explained as open-minded.

Deceiving.

It was the first time that Pochi completely disbelieved what Ishikawa Hayabusa said.

This is so untrue. Something is happening in this kind of weather...

However, she gradually controlled her emotions and slowly calmed down from her helplessness.

Falcon obviously said this because he didn't want her to feel guilty, and she gradually understood his thoughts.

Many of his actions were to gently guide her in a better direction.

Pochi thought about letting go of what had just happened. She lowered her head and looked at the seat in front of her with a happy smile on her face and her shoulders slightly hunched, as if she wanted to experience this feeling more clearly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa seemed to sense her mood and stopped talking.

In the midst of the storm, the enclosed space inside the car weakened the outside noise, turning the terrifying rainstorm into a distant but reassuring sound.

Looking at the quiet and steady Pochi, Ishikawa Hayabusa couldn't help but think of what happened a few days ago.

...

Tuesday, weather: cloudy.

Time: 8:5

Coming out of the station, Ishikawa Hayabusa still saw the same gloomy sky. He thought about the upcoming performances and his affirmative words yesterday.

He felt a little uneasy, as if he was about to be slapped in the face.

But thinking about the fact that so many tickets were sold on the day of the street performance, plus their own relatives and friends, there would be more people coming even if the weather was bad.

He comforted himself a little.

After leaving the station, he paused, but the crowd behind him did not stop and passed by him at a constant speed.

Before, he would walk with passers-by and head to school along the road he had walked for months.

but now.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked around but did not see the pink figure on the roadside.

Come to think of it, she is much more cheerful now, but it is still impossible for her to wait for someone in a place with a lot of people like the station entrance.

Ishikawa Hayabusa activated the Pochi Radar.

Ding, the radar responded immediately.

He followed the radar's instructions and walked to one side along the trees.

After walking a few dozen meters, he saw pink hair emerging from behind the tree. It was obvious that she was sitting at the foot of the tree.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but recall the first time he met Pochi, when she was also hiding under the tree.

Ishikawa Hayabusa couldn't help but think.

Has Pochi grown up?

But he didn't think too much about it. He quietly approached and called out in a teasing tone.

"Oh, I can't find my lovely Pochi. Has anyone seen her? She has long pink hair and wears a pink sportswear. I've been looking for her for a long time but couldn't find her."

As soon as Ishikawa Hayabusa opened his mouth, he saw that the long pink hair that had been hanging down limply seemed to stand up energetically.

Pochi quickly and cutely poked his head out from behind the tree, with a cute light shining in his eyes, and looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa with joy.

Then she stood up quickly, but she suddenly became conflicted again and spoke timidly.

"Falcon...right..."

She suddenly took back what she was saying, thought about it and started again.

"Good morning, Falcon."

Obviously, she had intended to apologize for hiding in this place when they had agreed to meet at the station entrance.

However, seeing that she took back her words, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled with satisfaction.

"Yeah, good morning."

He was still as timid as before, but Pochi was beginning to change.

Now I am no longer so nervous when I make mistakes in front of him.

Ishikawa Hayabusa believes that for someone as weak as Pochi, the first thing to do is to make her feel that she does not owe others anything and does not feel that she is weaker than the other person.

Only by putting yourself on an equal footing can you express your emotions normally.

She will still grow.

...

The rain falling from high altitude hit the roof of the car with a dull sound, and the front windshield of the car was blurred by moisture and waves.

In this situation, for safety reasons, Ishikawa Jinbe drove slowly and it took a long time to reach Shimokitazawa.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley. He looked back at the two people who were about to go in under the heavy rain, and then looked out the window. He said

"You two should be careful. I won't go. It's raining too hard. I'm going to hide in the parking lot and play with my phone."

In this kind of rain, he would probably be soaked to the skin after parking the car and walking out of the parking lot.

Ishikawa Hayabusa thought about it and decided not to force his father.

He originally planned to send Pochi to the store and then pick up his father.

"Okay, I'll make a copy for you then."

"You still have a conscience." Ishikawa Jinbe smiled.

After getting off the car, Ishikawa Hayabusa and Pochi put on raincoats and hurried towards STARRY.

98. Scene

Going down the stairs to the entrance of STARRY, the two shook off some water on their raincoats, folded them, opened the door and walked into the store.

Ishikawa Hayabusa walked into the store and went down the stairs again, but just as he turned the corner, he felt a stuffy atmosphere coming towards him.

The originally gloomy atmosphere in the store was now filled with a dark aura that was constantly floating around.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the source of resentment that had never changed and was enough to scare exorcists. On the bar, Xingge rested his forehead on his arm, as if he was lying there in despair.

He looked at the corner again, and Hong Xia, who was sitting at the table, did not seem to have so many resentments.

She just stared at the table in a trance.

Finally, Ishikawa Hayabusa looked back.

Behind him, Pochi was watching the scene, an expression of worry and fear suddenly appeared on his face, looking very distressed.

But when she met Ishikawa Hayabusa's eyes, her nervousness quickly subsided and she smiled slightly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled back, raised his thumb with a sunny look, then supported himself on the side armrests with both hands, turned over and landed on the court with a front flip.

He landed perfectly like a gymnast, his hands raised high as the crowd cheered.

"Today, let's light up the fire!!"

Hongxia in the corner heard the noise and raised her head. When she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa like this, she screamed in surprise.

"Hayabusa-kun."

She stood up, quickly regaining her normal smile, and noticed Pochi coming down the stairs.

"Pochi-chan, you guys are here."

"Well, are we the first?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked around but didn't see Ryo and Kita.

Hongxia's expression looked the same as always. She walked over and complained with a smile.

"No, it's the latest. Ryo is resting in the preparation room because he's sleepy, and Kita-chan is changing her clothes."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her expression and felt a little uncomfortable because of her artificiality, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he touched his chin thoughtfully and spoke.

"Rest and change clothes?"

"Hayabusa, stop thinking about those weird things in your head."

Hong Xia complained neatly.

She has begun to follow Ishikawa Hayabusa's thinking.

At this time, Miss Come and Go Freely, who was a few steps late after her name was mentioned, came out from the next room.

She had changed into a band T-shirt. The black T-shirt paired with a white skirt was extremely eye-catching.

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't understand what makeup was, but he still noticed that Kita's rosy lips were now sparkling.

But compared to her seemingly serious makeup, the edge of her white skirt still had some blurry rain marks.

It seemed that he just used the electric dryer to blow it for a while and then came out in a hurry.

When Kita saw that Ishikawa Hayabusa and Pochi had also arrived, she looked at them happily yet embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly, putting her cell phone in her skirt pocket.

"What should I do...it looks like the rain won't stop."

They practiced for so long and put in so much effort just for today's performance.

She felt unwilling to have her home suddenly destroyed by a typhoon.

Hongxia hesitated for a moment, and then was about to comfort her.

Ishikawa Hayabusa took the lead and spoke with full momentum, clenching his fists.

"Of course I did it like that!"

He looked around at the three of them and asked passionately.

"Don't you think it's particularly exciting to perform live in this typhoon weather? It feels like 'the world is my enemy!'"

Kita looked at him helplessly, wondering if he had figured out the situation, and was about to retort.

She suddenly felt a little familiar at this moment.

She suddenly remembered the scene when she coaxed Hayabusa into returning to the band. Looking at Ishikawa Hayabusa's passionate expression, she felt that he was setting a trap for her again.

Although she was worried that she would be fooled again, she still chose to believe Ishikawa Hayabusa's arrangement and kept her mouth shut.
