Social phobia and lonely rock

It was the first time for Kita to call a member of the opposite sex by his name. Although he often heard other people in the band call him by that name, he felt inexplicably excited at this moment.

Calling my boyfriend's name, I felt closer to him.

But she had just shouted when, on the other side, Ishikawa Hayabusa was ready and responded in a low voice.

"Yudai."

This sound directly hit Kita's vital point, who was feeling extremely embarrassed. Her body stiffened, her eyes widened, and then her pupils became confused.

"Foul...Foul! Foul! How can you call me by my name at this time?!"

Kita shook her head and waved her hands in panic, her neatly combed red hair fluttering, but she seemed unable to hide her panic, so she turned her back and covered her face with her two little hands.

She rarely gets called by her name, so this was the first time she heard her name from someone else's mouth and she didn't feel it was so funny.

"Yudai, it's a nice name."

Ishikawa Hayabusa walked up to her and leaned behind her and said.

"Wait, wait! Stop, stop!"

Kita felt that she would break down if she continued to be yelled at, so she quickly turned around to stop Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Ishikawa Hayabusa saw it clearly now. Kita had an exaggerated smile on his face that he couldn't stop. He waved one hand in front of him to try to stop Ishikawa Hayabusa from continuing speaking, and with the other hand he tried hard to cover his face.

Seeing her like this, Ishikawa Hayabusa couldn't help but smile.

He said with his hands clasped together respectfully.

"Very cute, thank you very much! Being with Kita today has filled up my cuteness slot for ten years. I hope to be with Kita more often to fill up my cuteness slot for the next ten lifetimes."

"Don't say these things to me!" Kita squatted on the ground and covered his face in shame and anger.

After Kita's shy cry, only two satisfied chuckles from Ishikawa Hayabusa were heard.

After his emotions calmed down a little, he took a deep breath of enjoyment. Even in such bad weather, the moist air still made him feel comfortable.

He looked up at the sky, where dark clouds were moving.

Ishikawa Hayabusa thought.

Why is the sky gloomy? Because the bright sun has squatted on the ground.

After a moment, he felt that Kita's mood had almost recovered, and he stretched out his hand towards the bright sun on the ground.

"Kita, it's almost time to go to STARRY."

After a few seconds, Kita responded muffledly.

"Um..."

She slowly reached out and grabbed Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand, using the force to stand up.

But after standing up, Ishikawa Hayabusa still didn't let go of her hand. She said nothing and walked towards the stairs under the guidance of Ishikawa Hayabusa.

However, when she reached the stairs, she broke free.

Looking at the stairs that were darker than the rooftop, and the direction they were going to go, Kita clearly felt that no matter how close the two of them got, they could not maintain the distance forever.

"Ishikawa-kun, please don't be too nice to me. It will make me very painful when we break up."

She said solemnly.

"Really? But my goal has always been a harem, so it's okay if we don't break up."

"A playboy and a scumbag."

Kita cursed but was thinking in her heart, is Ishikawa-kun talking about paying her back for her swimming lessons?

Hmm...gotta go swimsuit shopping.

107. Splash

After meeting up with Pochi who had been waiting, the three of them headed towards the stars together.

Before they reached the store door, heavy rain began to fall. Fortunately, it was only two steps away from the eaves, so they hurried over.

When we arrived at the store, Hongxia and Liang were already waiting inside.

As soon as they walked from the stairs and came into view of the hall, the three heard Liang Ping's dissatisfied voice.

"So slow, where did you go to play?"

Seeing the opportunity to show off, Ishikawa Hayabusa took the initiative to cover the mouths of the two girls around him.

He stopped and said with an expression of pride that there was no need to praise me for this.

"As a member of the Power Rangers, we have just seen an existence that intends to destroy the world, and we fought it desperately, in..."

"Okay, Hayabusa-kun, please come and sit down."

Hong Xia interrupted his seemingly endless speech with a sigh and patted the table to urge him on.

"Unfortunately, the best part is yet to come. I want to describe in detail the scene where Pochi bravely stood up when everyone else was in despair."

Ishikawa Hayabusa walked down with a look of regret on his face.

"Eh!!"

Pochi exclaimed softly when he heard his name.

...

The five of them sat around the table again. It had been a while since they had such a leisurely conversation.

Although I am a musician, I still cannot escape the pressure of reviewing before the exam.

Except when they were working, they hadn't gathered much during this period.

Hong Xia looked at all the people gathered, smiled, clapped her hands, and said cheerfully.

"Final exams are finally over, now let's get on with band activities!"

"Regarding future band activities, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to speak up."

"Me!" Ishikawa Hayabusa raised his hand first.

"Okay, Mr. Hayabusa, you say." Hongxia stretched out her hand to signal him with satisfaction.

“I want to start with our own situation.”

As Ishikawa Hayabusa said this, he walked familiarly to the corner of the store, and in front of Hongxia, with her expression not knowing how to complain, he dragged the whiteboard over as if it were his own home.

He drew on it as he talked.

“First, we must be clear about our strengths and weaknesses.”

“For example, I found that we can perform better when the atmosphere of the performance is heated, which can be seen in the second half of the street performance and the store performance.”

"On the contrary, when the atmosphere is cold, our level will be the same as our normal practice level, or even worse if we are affected."

Hongxia looked at the others uneasily. She didn't expect Ishikawa Hayabusa to speak out the whole matter openly.

However, it was completely different from what she expected. Everyone listened carefully and did not pay attention to the previous failure.

"From this we can see that we are not the type who just practice and perform whenever there is a performance. Instead, we should take the initiative to look for more performances and hone ourselves in the performances."

"The previous not-so-perfect performance was a test, just like the pain a person who lacks exercise feels after the first day of exercise. Next, we can start running boldly."

Hearing Ishikawa Hayabusa's words asking them to prepare for the next performance as soon as possible, Hongxia hurriedly dissuaded him.

"Hayabusa-kun, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew very well what Hongxia was thinking. After suffering a series of failures, she planned to take a breather, let everyone relax, and then start looking for performance opportunities.

"No, this is just fine."

Before Ishikawa Hayabusa could speak, Liang denied Hongxia's idea.

she says.

"What we want now is not a break, but recognition. There are many performance opportunities in the summer, and we can't just let it go."

Hongxia looked at Liang, then at the others.

I noticed that although Kita and Pochi didn't say anything, their expressions were the same as Ryo's.

She realized that she was worrying too much and was becoming a drag on the team.

But she didn't care at all, instead she smiled happily.

"Well then!" She took out a poster from the bag beside her with a bright smile.

He held it high and showed it to the four people.

"Let's go to the Circuit Festival this summer!"

The four of them looked at Hong Xia in stupid surprise. Her attitude changed so quickly that they felt like their necks were going to break.

Then the three of them looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa. They suspected that the two had already communicated privately and set a trap for them to fall into.

Ishikawa Hayabusa met the gazes of the three people with shock. He shook his head to indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

After Liang knew that it was Hongxia's own idea, he complained to her.

"Hongxia is so troublesome. Do you want to go to the performance or not?"

Hongxia hurriedly expressed her attitude.

"Of course I want to go!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the slightly wrinkled poster in Hongxia's hand and the neat creases on it and made the guess.

"Could it be that he hid in his bed in the middle of the night looking at the poster, thinking about participating, but worried about what everyone would think, and finally folded the poster neatly and stuffed it into his schoolbag with a reluctant look on his face?"

goo.

In the store, the four of them clearly heard a reverse cough coming from Hong Xia's throat.

Hongxia's expression froze, then quickly turned into a smile. No color could be seen in her smiling eyes.

"Hayabusa-kun."

"Ok?"

"shut up."

"You actually got it right, you're really a pervert." Seeing Hong Xia's reaction, the three bystanders complained in their hearts, but then they heard Ishikawa Hayabusa say that shamelessly.

"I didn't do anything wrong. If you want me to shut up, you have to give me a kiss and a hug."

The four girls' gazes lingered on his face for a moment, and all of them, except Pochi, sighed.

Kita was quite interested in this kind of activity, and she asked curiously.

"Ijichi-senpai, can we also participate in this Circuit Festival?"

She still remembers the incident when the audience complained about the unknown band.

"It doesn't matter. This is a stage for young bands like us to showcase our talents. We can just record the performance audio and send it out. As long as it's not too bad, we'll be accepted."

Liang said in a flat tone.

"If it's not too bad..." Kita felt her heart sink as she thought of the explosive performance that day.

When Liang heard her words, his expression became more serious, as if he had thought of the consequences of failure and spoke without any moral integrity.

"How about using a recorded audio source to get away with it?"

Pochi, who was extremely nervous, nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, as if he had seen a savior.

"Ah good!"

Even Kita seemed to be interested.

Hong Xia stared at the scene for a long time before coming back to her senses and complaining loudly.

"Don't you have any self-respect as a musician?"

"If we were to rehearse like this, we would be exposed all of a sudden! Hayabusa, you should help me stop him now!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't care about the situation at all, he was very happy.

He held back his laughter and said with a serious expression.
