Social phobia and lonely rock

And Hong Xiaying echoed Ishikawa Hayabusa's words and said.

"Yes, there may not be many guests, but we will still try our best to perform."

Ishikawa Hayabusa sighed inwardly as he watched Hong Xia not only comforting others but also comforting herself.

When Hongxia encounters difficulties that she cannot accept, she tends to become stubborn.

He seemed to agree with Hongxia's statement and said to Pochi and Kita.

“Although it is a commercial performance, we cannot just serve the customers. The basis is that everyone has fun doing something.”

The two listened and nodded seriously.

After responding, Kita regained his sunny expression with relief and sighed with a smile.

"This is the only time Ishikawa-kun is serious."

Even Pochi nodded at this.

Hongxia was a little confused as to why Ishikawa Hayabusa said something similar again, but she didn't think about it too much. Noticing the wet hair and trouser legs of both of them, she hurriedly urged them.

"We'll talk about this later. You two should go and wipe your hair and clothes. Don't catch a cold."

When Ishikawa Hayabusa was urged by Hongxia, he looked back.

Xing Ge, who had been lying on the bar with a resentful look on her face, now raised her head and looked over here. Her gloomy face, with horizontal lines on her clothes, looked like a messy field after a rainstorm.

But that expression seemed like he had accepted the reality, and it was obvious that he had been eavesdropping.

Ishikawa Hayabusa curled up the corner of his mouth as he looked at her expression. Xingge's face suddenly darkened and she quickly turned her head away with a snort.

...

Ishikawa Hayabusa quickly changed his clothes, dried his hair, simply twisted his trouser legs, blew them with the hair dryer twice, and walked towards the hall.

As a pervert, he also has one thing to be proud of, which is that he has not been sick since the third grade of elementary school.

He is so perverted that even viruses are afraid of their teeth!

When he walked out of the backstage, he saw Hong Xia leaning very quietly against the wall next to the preparation room.

Her side ponytail was just enough to hold her head against the wall.

The big bow tie made of ribbon highlights her petite and cute figure.

He walked over.

Hongxia heard footsteps and looked up, and saw Ishikawa Hayabusa suddenly smiled.

"Falcon, everyone is in the rehearsal room, let's try to rehearse once later."

She asked Ishikawa Hayabusa as if seeking advice.

"That's a good idea, but just pick a few bars to practice. If you practice too much, you'll get too nervous."

"That's right."

Hongxia smiled and agreed simply.

But then, Ishikawa Hayabusa did not follow her lead and walk towards the rehearsal room. Instead, he walked straight to her and leaned against the wall with her.

Hongxia looked up at him in surprise, but said nothing.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked down at the oldest, yet shortest and most responsible girl in the band.

She looked at the field quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Leader, are you nervous?"

When Hongxia heard what Ishikawa Hayabusa said, she looked up suddenly and looked at him in confusion, but then immediately raised her hands and waved them repeatedly.

"Nervous? How is that possible? Haven't we all performed on the streets before?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa completely ignored the piercing gaze of an unidentified woman in her late 30s with blonde hair wearing a slim T-shirt standing to the side.

He said to Hongxia with a smile.

"Really?"

"Of course."

Hong Xia answered simply and concisely.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and pretended to be embarrassed, saying weakly.

"But I was so nervous that I forgot the order of today's playlist."

His expression earned a sidelong glance from Hong Xia, but soon she laughed softly and said helplessly.

"The first song is "Guitar and Loneliness", the second is "That Band", and the third is "If I Could Become a Constellation". Mr. Hayabusa, don't make a mistake!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa nodded repeatedly.

Hongxia is really cute because she knows that he hasn't forgotten but is still willing to cooperate with him.

"Hongxia is so gentle."

Hongxia felt like she was being teased again, and angrily moved her foot to the side, hitting the sole of Ishikawa Hayabusa's shoe hard with her shoe.

The soles of the shoes collided, making a dull sound.

This counterattack is so cute, the cuteness level continues to rise.

Ishikawa Hayabusa wanted to hug her in his arms.

But Hongxia would definitely be angry, and...

He looked at Xingge. At this time, Xingge had completely turned into a demon. Her face was covered with taut and hideous bright red muscles, and the sharp horns on her head were staring at him murderously.

Even the pa-sang next to him chose to avoid it in embarrassment because of this power.

It seemed like she was just waiting for Hong Xia to stop paying attention so that she could pounce on him and kill him.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa was not afraid. If Hongxia wasn't unhappy, he would definitely hug Hongxia in his arms and sniff her in front of her.

Perverts like it more when it's exciting!

Not long after, Pochi changed his clothes, wiped his hair, and walked into the hall.

After meeting up, the three of them walked towards the rehearsal room.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw Kita and Ryo talking, but they were a step too late and only heard Kita speaking worriedly.

"Is it the same with Lian Liang-senpai?"

Liang was wearing a band T-shirt, sitting quietly in the corner, his golden eyes staring at his phone while swiping it with one hand.

She said nothing.

"what happened?"

Seeing this scene, Hongxia hurried forward and asked worriedly.

Kita's eyes flickered, as if she was reluctant to tell Hongxia the news, but after a brief hesitation, she spoke.

"My friends can't come..."

Originally they wanted to invite more people to support them, including relatives and friends who were interested in their performance.

But this typhoon stripped away all the preparations they had made before the performance.

After Kita, Ishikawa Hayabusa also said this.

"My dad also thought the rain was too heavy, so he hid in the car park and played with his phone."

His laughter simply outlines the image of a useless, lazy middle-aged uncle.

"That's right. It's raining so hard, there's nothing we can do. Let's just go ahead!"

Hong Xia was already prepared and didn't worry at all. She smiled and clenched her fist to cheer the four people on.

But they didn't say what they cared about most, which was...

Will those who bought tickets for the show come?

They began their final practice before the performance in silent anticipation.

99. Fans

After the practice, Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed that their mood was a little low, but their rhythm was still very stable.

If this state is maintained, the performance may not be as good as a street performance, but it will still end smoothly.

They came out of the rehearsal room.

But when they came out, the scene they saw made them feel cold at heart.

It was already 5 o'clock. If it were a normal weekend, there would be many customers waiting inside.

But today, as if to tease them, there was not a single customer.

The feeling that this place gave them suddenly became unfamiliar.

Even the waiters standing at the bar were strangers that Xingge had called in to help out temporarily.

Hongxia had seen this kind of scene before, but the other four had not. She looked at their expressions worriedly.

Kita and Pochi had sad expressions on their faces, but Ishikawa Hayabusa and Ryo were quite calm.

When she didn't know what to do.

"Yahoo, everyone, I'm here to see your performance."

A drunken voice came down the stairs with the sound of dripping water.

Hiroi Kikuri staggered to the bottom of the stairs, waving the ticket stub in her hand.

"Thank you for the ticket, bro."

Ishikawa Hayabusa was quite surprised. It was Xingge who was checking tickets at the door today, and she actually let this drunkard come in wet.

He was even a little curious about how Xingge would check her ticket.

However, her arrival at this time just made the uneasy mood of several people eased a little, so this drunkard could be considered half a guest.

"Sister Hiroi, it's raining so hard, did you come here specially?"

Kita was very surprised.

"That's right, I must come to see everyone's performance~ Yeah..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the water drops dripping from the corner of Hiroi Kikuri's skirt, frowned slightly, pointed at her and asked Hongxia.

"Hongxia, do you have any new clothes for this drunkard?"

"Ah, yes."

Hongxia came back from her daze and walked towards Hiroi Kikuri, preparing to take her backstage to change clothes.

But when she looked at Hiroi Kikuri's wet appearance, she paused hesitantly.

"Wait~where's my opinion?"

Hiroi Kikuri was waving her hands like a drunk.

"The wind is really loud today. You can even hear it in the store."

Ishikawa Hayabusa ignored her words and walked forward.

"Brother, you are too much. You ignored me..."

"I don't care about the whirring sound of the wine bottle in the wind."

As he spoke, he quickly walked over Hongxia, grabbed Hiroi Kikuri's arm, pressed her shoulder, and signaled Hongxia with his eyes to make way.

Seeing that he had controlled the drunkard, Hongxia did not move forward. She looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa with a slightly apologetic look.

I was also amused by the way he showed concern for Hiroi Kikuri while attacking her coldly.

"This way."
