Social phobia and lonely rock

...

In the passage, Ishikawa Hayabusa was walking effortlessly in front with a large stack of drums in his hands.

Others just carried their own belongings, but still swayed like reeds in the wind.

Ishikawa Hayabusa really wanted to help them get it, but today the drum sets were scattered all over the place and he couldn't hold them all.

But a lazy voice soon sounded.

"No...I can't move anymore."

Liang had only taken two steps when he already looked like he didn't want to move anymore.

Hongxia, who was holding the snare drum and other parts, was even more tired. She gasped and comforted him.

"We'll be in the waiting room soon, just hold on..."

Kita and Pochi were unable to make any sound.

But just as Hongxia finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps coming forward.

She turned her head weakly, only to see Liang quickly walk to the front, take off her bass from her body, and hang it neatly on Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Hey, hey."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked back with a helpless smile on his face, as if he had no idea what to do with this man. He turned around and adjusted the angle of the bass that Liang had casually hung on him.

Hongxia was stunned for a moment and then shouted to Liang even louder than before.

"Liang! Get it for myself."

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't mind it much and was very accommodating to Liang. He turned to talk to others.

"Forget it, it's okay. It's a common occurrence. How about being fair and letting everyone take it?"

Pochi glanced at the pile of drums in Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand and waved his hand to refuse.

"No...it's okay. I'm fine."

But when Liang heard Ishikawa Hayabusa say this, as if to confirm that he still had a lot of strength left, two arms as tender as lotus roots passed over his shoulders and hung on his chest.

The head was directly against Ishikawa Hayabusa's back, hanging on his back like a pendant.

Even said it with satisfaction.

"Falcon, walk carefully, don't make me fall."

"Fine..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa took note of her in his heart. Since she used him so rudely, he would earn it back sooner or later.

Kita, who was also planning to refuse, saw this scene. She, who had been singing and talking for nearly half an hour, screamed again.

"Senior Liang?!"

This was the first time she called Liang like that with a hint of dissatisfaction.

But Liang just raised his eyes, but ignored Kita, continued to close his eyes and entered the mounting mode.

Hong Xia's cheeks puffed up with displeasure. If she hadn't been holding the parts of the drum set in her hands, she would have hit her with the drumsticks.

"Ha ha..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa felt as if a terrible accident was about to happen and laughed awkwardly.

...

As soon as the band finished their performance and the curtain fell, Sato Aiko walked backstage without hesitation.

Compared to the later and well-known SIDEROS, she saw higher possibilities in ending the band.

After showing her identity as a writer to the backstage staff for confirmation, she quickly walked towards the waiting room.

At the same time, she also noticed that there were people from several record companies following behind her.

She was not surprised at all.

In this music festival, the strength shown by the End Band so far is definitely ranked in the top three, and as a young band, they still have very high growth potential.

It is quite normal to attract record companies that are already selecting bands.

But she is also worried that their high growth potential means they are not mature enough and that the record company might take the initiative, ignore them with contracts, or even distort the band’s ideas.

And can the young people withstand the attack of money?

She was very uneasy.

Sato Aiko quickened her pace and rushed to the waiting room.

The people from the record company behind her knew that she was a writer, so they did not speed up with her, but instead squeezed behind her.

When she ran to where she could see the door to the waiting room, she just saw Ishikawa Hayabusa coming out of the waiting room and preparing to close the door.

She called out hurriedly.

"Please wait!"

After placing the instruments and other girls in the band in the waiting room and preparing to close the door, Ishikawa Hayabusa heard the voice and looked to the side in confusion.

When he saw a young girl running towards him, the first thing he did was to look inside the room.

But he thought about it and realized that the other party was not looking for him, so he stood at the door indifferently.

He didn't ask until Sato Aiko ran up to him, panting.

"What's up? We're all very tired after the performance."

Although he was not that tired, he still wanted to stay with his sister rather than with outsiders.

Sato Aiko exhaled and called out in an anxious tone.

"Please flee from here immediately!"

The four people who had been slumped on the sofa, wondering what Ishikawa Hayabusa was doing at the door, all looked dazed when they heard this.

Are they in a livehouse?

What happened?

Sato Aiko did not try to drive people away like the riddle man, but answered Ishikawa Hayabusa very quickly and neatly.

"In the back, there's a record company looking for you! Please leave immediately!"

But her answer filled the hearts of the tired people with endless surprise.

Hong Xia, who was originally sitting sloppily, jumped up suddenly as if she had been given a shot of cardiotonic.

"Sing...record company!"

"Is it true?" Kita suddenly perked up, stood up and walked towards Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Liang blinked slowly. Her previous bands had never been invited by record companies.

But in just a few seconds, her golden pupils had turned into the shape of money.

She also stood up, not feeling tired this time, and walked towards the door while asking, sticking her head out.

"where?"

Pochi followed behind Liang, and she hurried over with a look of doubt, as if to say, "Did I hear it wrong?"

They never thought that a small band like theirs, which still had to pay for performance opportunities, would be noticed by a record company.

Although they are not sure what the contract is like, one thing is certain.

After signing the contract, you can make a lot of money!

I saw four girls crowded together at the door with expectant looks on their faces.

Sato Aiko knew that it was impossible to stop them from contacting the record company.

...

Waiting room.

Although the few of them had great desire before the people from the record company arrived.

But after arriving, I met people from five different record companies and I was still confused for a moment.

"I remember your company has signed two or three bands this year. Do you still provide resources for the band's development?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Compared to your company in Nagasaki, our company has more experience and connections. And I remember that you don't have a mature band under your command now."

"Speaking of connections and resources, my company's resources are no less than those of the two seniors. Moreover, the two seniors' companies still use the old methods. My company focuses on the interests of the members, which allows the band members to concentrate more on composing music."

If it was just an ordinary band, it would not cause any fighting thoughts among the company managers, and they might even work together to suppress it.

But it’s different if it’s a young band that’s already showing promise and showing that they definitely have potential.

Feeling the tentative tone of the company manager during the conversation, the already quite tired people couldn't help but reveal an embarrassed look.

Kita and Pochi both looked at Hongxia with an expression of "what should they do", and Hongxia was a little afraid to speak in front of several adults.

After a few moments, Ishikawa Hayabusa saw Hongxia slowly turn her head and look at him tentatively.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled, with an expression that said "it's all my fault". He moved his butt forward and sat in the front seat.

He wasn't intentionally waiting for Hongxia to ask him for help, he just thought it would be best if they could do it.

But even if he can't do it, he can still help.

Ishikawa Hayabusa stopped smiling and looked at the other side. He exhaled slightly to attract the other side's attention before starting to speak.

"First of all, thank you very much for your recognition of us ending the band, but we have never thought about signing with a record company."

"Eh?"

The girls looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa in surprise but did not interrupt him.

The company managers immediately saw who was the boss of the band and stopped testing them.

"You mean you're planning on being an independent band?"

A manager came over to him and asked.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"No, I mean we haven't made any plans for the signing company yet. We haven't discussed it with each other yet. We need to communicate privately first."

Ishikawa Hayabusa said this and confirmed with Hongxia next to him, and Hongxia nodded in affirmation.

After confirming, he turned to the other side.

"Besides, I'm a little tired after playing today. You guys don't want us to make a hasty decision, right?"

He said as he rummaged through his bag and stood up, pulling out a business card.

"Here's my business card. If possible, let's communicate via email later."

If you ask several managers what their first impression of Ishikawa Hayabusa is, they will answer that he is handsome and sophisticated.

His tone was extremely strong, yet gentle, and he was still in control of the situation as he spoke and retreated. It seemed that he gave them some room to maneuver, but he still cleanly cleared the battlefield.

And took the initiative into his own hands.

He is a young man who feels bad to be easily deceived.

Although they did have the idea that they would be the first to get the contract, after hearing what he said, several managers had to give up the idea of ​​getting the contract first and stood up to exchange business cards with him.

Ishikawa Hayabusa successfully exchanged business cards one by one.

Finally, Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at an old man that the previous managers had been paying attention to, walked over calmly and neatly, and handed him the business card with both hands.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the bearded, middle-aged man in front of him with a strong aura, and noticed the most obvious company name on his business card, J-Sketch.

Although he said that they had never thought of signing a contract with a record company, he himself had learned about many record companies on the Internet.

Compared to several other record companies that only left an impression on him, this company is different.

This is the level that you can see at a glance after the record companies are ranked.

It is a subsidiary of a large firm with a long history.

The boss was indeed the last to appear.
