Social phobia and lonely rock

The three watched as two men escorted a drunkard away.

But not long after, Hong Xia's roar was heard from that direction.

"Get out! Hayabusa, get out!"

After the roar, there was a loud slam of a door closing.

The three of them looked straight over there, and Ishikawa Hayabusa walked back, rubbing his head with a look of misfortune on his face.

"Really? I just wanted to help change clothes. Why is Hong Xia so angry?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa complained, but belatedly noticed the cold looks from Ryo and Kita, so he quickly shut up.

The arrival of Hiroi Kikuri seemed to put an end to the arrival of the guests.

Before Ishikawa Hayabusa reached the three people, footsteps were heard from upstairs.

He looked up and saw two mature women dressed in youthful and fashionable clothes. From their appearance, he could tell that they were here to watch the show.

Ishikawa Hayabusa felt a little relieved. If no one really came, he didn't know what to do.

Now finally there were serious customers. Although they were not as soaked as Hiroi Kikuri, they also looked a little embarrassed.

I was planning to wait until the rain was lighter before going out, but I found that the rain showed no sign of letting up, so I had no choice but to go out in the heavy rain.

If this is the case, more and more people will come in the future.

Ishikawa Hayabusa thought about it and couldn't help but feel that these two people looked very familiar.

As soon as he remembered their identities, he heard them shouting happily.

"Everyone who finished the band, that's great, I was wondering what I would do if it rained and I didn't have a show."

Ishikawa Hayabusa immediately responded with a smile.

"Of course there will be a performance! Welcome, ladies. What drinks would you like?"

As he spoke, he went back to his old ways and walked towards the bar as if he was trying to take over the job that Xingge had temporarily called in as a waiter.

"Hey, Ishikawa-kun, they are..."

Obviously not everyone is like Ishikawa Hayabusa, who can clearly remember the appearance of the two people wearing different clothes from the night a week ago.

As Ishikawa Hayabusa walked, he turned back and pointed at Kita with a smile, saying with disdain.

"Kita! You're so cold. These are people who came to watch our show!"

The expressions of the three people quickly changed from confusion to joy, and even Liang, who was originally not very interested, was surprised.

"real?!"

Kita screamed, and Pochi beside her also looked at the two of them with wide blue eyes.

One of the chestnut-haired women said with a smile.

"No, we are fans of the band. Let's break through the typhoon with the momentum of the performance that day!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa handed them the drinks they had just ordered, and when he heard them say this, he spoke in a domineering tone.

"Great, since you are the first and second to come, I will give you the titles of Fan Number One and Fan Number Two!"

When Kita heard Ishikawa Hayabusa's rude words, his expression froze and he hurried to stop him.

"Wait..."

But it was drowned out by the joyful voice of fan number two.

"Great!"

Kita looked over there in amazement. Is this possible?

Kita, who has always maintained an appropriate social distance, had common sense once again rewritten by Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Two fans came over and started talking to the four members of the band.

"Will the song 'That Band' that we sang the other day still be sung today? I still want to listen to it."

"Me too, have you guys made an album CD?"

"Sorry... not yet, but we'll get started as soon as possible."

Of course, Kita wouldn't say that they don't have the money to make a single album yet.

"In this case, you must tell us!"

“By the way, you can follow our band’s social media accounts so you can see our performances or activities in the future.”

"That's great!"

When Xiduo happily began to promote the band's social media accounts, she suddenly saw a blue figure approaching from the corner of her eye.

Looking closely, Liang was walking towards them stealthily, carrying the shelf where they were selling peripherals.

Kita suddenly understood what Liang was going to do. She widened her eyes in disbelief and screamed in her heart.

Senior Liang! What are you doing? Stop it and don't come over here!

As if a god heard her thoughts, Ishikawa Hayabusa suddenly flashed over, put his arms around Liang's neck and turned her aside.

Fan number one and two looked back because of Kita's reaction, but saw nothing and had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Hongxia also came out from the backstage not long after. She was a little confused when she saw Kita chatting happily with two strangers.

But after coming over and hearing Kita's explanation, he broke into a truly brilliant smile and happily joined in the conversation.

Even Pochi didn't dodge away. She was listening nearby, and when fan number two praised her guitar playing, she looked elated.

The arrival of fans number one and two gave them a shot in the arm, giving them spirit and energy.

They couldn't help but have expectations, hoping that more people would come.

There were many more people who bought tickets that day.

A few more would be nice.

They hoped this was a good start, but they didn't expect...

This is the end.

Until the end, no one else who bought their tickets came to the store.

...

In the preparation room, five people were waiting here.

Their band was a newly formed band with no reputation. Even though Xingge had recognized their performance, they still did not dare to put them in the key position of the finale or the main event.

But she also had selfish motives, giving them the most mentally tough opening position to help them recognize their own strengths.

If you understand the difficulties of performing and the hardships of being a band from the beginning, the road ahead will be much easier.

But she didn't expect that a typhoon would come.

This can no longer be considered as tempering.

But it is a sharp stone that will break the sword.

Ishikawa Hayabusa leaned against the corner of the preparation room and yawned.

As they left the venue, they noted the number of guests.

Not even 20 people yet.

This is less than the number of people who come on weekdays, and even less than the number of people who come during performances.

Kita was also very anxious. She took out her cell phone again and checked the weather conditions for the future.

She hoped the sky would clear up and more people would come.

only...

After looking at her phone, she said to Hongxia with a questioning look.

"It looks like the rain will get even heavier next time."

"Bigger than now?" Hong Xia frowned slightly.

"Yes.."

Liang lay on the table, resting his arms on his head, pretending to rest.

Ishikawa Hayabusa saw her half-open eyes darken when she heard the news.

He felt that they were dwelling on meaningless things again, so he clapped his hands to attract their attention.

"Don't worry about that. We've already come this far. What happens next has nothing to do with the weather, the audience, or anything else. All we have to do is put on a good show."

"Ah."

The two of them also had expressions that had no choice but to do so.

Seeing that even Ishikawa Hayabusa was unable to encourage the two, Pochi felt disappointed for a moment, but soon cheered up. She equipped herself to her full state and shouted.

"Just...just do as Falcon said, as long as the performance is good, it's fine. Besides, there are people waiting to hear our performance!"

Nijika and Kita looked over, startled by Pochi's sudden reaction.

Pochi was outfitted with her star-lit sunglasses, fake beard, two banners, and even a guitar, ready to go on stage.

"Please don't wear this!!"

Hongxia tried her best to stop him.

While Pochi and Nijigasaki were making a fuss, Ishikawa Hayabusa walked over to the prone Ryo.

He patted Liang's shoulder and said to the girl who was feeling down and just wanted to sleep.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

"What are you talking about? I'm just sleepy."

Liang said this sullenly, while curling his arms tighter.

Ishikawa Hayabusa said softly with a smile.

"That's right, I'm talking to a nervous person in his sleep."

"He's just a younger brother."

She said this defiantly and turned her head to face Ishikawa Hayabusa, but she seemed to make people feel more at ease, as if a child who had been hiding too hard in playing hide-and-seek was finally found.

But she still lay on the table with a shameless look on her face.

But she didn't have much time to waste, as the performance was about to begin.

The four girls gathered at the door leading to the stage and finally checked the situation inside.

It was Kita's first time to perform on stage like this, and she couldn't help but feel nervous as she encountered such a situation for the first time.

She couldn't help but feel regretful when she saw that the number of people was not much different from before.

"It's almost time for the show... As expected, there aren't many guests..."

When Hongxia saw this situation and saw their only two fans, she felt regretful but also expectant.

“But there are fans of other bands, and people will come to see our shows.”

Ryoya said comfortingly.

"Besides, once it starts, more and more people will probably come."

But the four of them suddenly heard two people who were leaning against them and playing with their phones talking.

"Have you ever heard the closing band that came on first?"

"I've never heard of it, and I'm not interested, but it's really boring to have to watch it anyway."

The four people's eyes suddenly froze. Ishikawa Hayabusa walked forward and knocked on the door. Amid their stunned gazes, he closed the door and the four people immediately stepped back.

"Haha...we were just established and we've only had one street performance, so don't be discouraged."

Hong Xia turned around and comforted the three people.

Kita was about to respond, but Ishikawa Hayabusa reached out and tapped Nijigas forehead, followed by Kita, and then Pochi.

When it finally cooled down, she covered her forehead, but was still attacked.
