Social phobia and lonely rock

He picked up the textbook that he and Hongxia bought that day, touched the real pages, but he didn't have much desire to read.

Kita Ikuyo arrived late until almost time for class.

She walked into the classroom without her usual smile on her face, and even when she greeted her friends, she managed a forced smile.

Before sitting down, she glanced at Ishikawa Hayabusa with a guilty expression as if she had done something wrong, but her eyes suddenly met his gaze, and she trembled with fear, then pretended to be calm and put her schoolbag in the drawer.

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew the reason.

He just noticed that Kita Ikuyo had a more serious bandage on her hand, and there seemed to be very light dark circles under her eyes, as if she had used some makeup to cover them up.

Although she kept hiding, she couldn't escape the pervert's gaze.

You're really an idiot. Although practicing bass makes your hands hurt more than practicing guitar, it's not that easy to scratch your fingers. It must be quite hard to achieve this level.

It's time to end the class.

Ishikawa Hayabusa took out his cell phone, sent a message to Kita Ikuyo's LINE account who was pretending to be dead, and then walked out.

He came to the rooftop of the school. During break time, almost no one came here.

The school that Hayabusa Ishikawa attends has a deviation value that is on the worse side.

What matters is happy learning and wonderful life, with the emphasis on spending the student years in a relaxed manner, but of course, learning will not be completely neglected.

The environment inside the school is just like the school's construction concept, clean and beautiful.

A brightly painted protective net surrounds the spacious rooftop. The rough granite reflects some of the sunlight. In the flower bed in the center of the rooftop, several evergreens are growing brightly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa waited for a long time before he heard footsteps approaching hurriedly from the corridor.

...

Kita Ikuyo has never blocked any information about the other three members of the band.

But every time I see a message from them, I quickly turn off the screen.

I saw them go from asking when he would come, to wondering why he hadn’t come, to worrying.

She felt she had done something unforgivable.

But she just couldn't get the right sound with her guitar. She watched so many teaching videos and practiced for so long, but she didn't feel any improvement at all.

The hand injury that my seniors told me to pay attention to became like this.

She didn't even dare to see them on Saturday afternoon.

By Monday, she couldn't imagine what Ishikawa Hayabusa's expression would be when he saw her, and she even wanted to take a day off.

But we still have to face what we have to face.

After class, she received a LINE message from Ishikawa Hayabusa. She was ready to go to the rooftop and confess to him.

I hope he can explain to the two seniors on my behalf.

Hurrying onto the rooftop, Kita Ikuyo guiltily prepared to speak out her words all at once.

"Sorry, actually I..."

She mustered up her courage, made up her mind, and rehearsed what she would say several times in her mind, but was interrupted by Ishikawa Hayabusa.

She just listened to Ishikawa Hayabusa speaking with a smile.

"Kita Ikuyo, you don't want your seniors to know that you can't play the guitar."

Suddenly, Kita Ikuyo was stunned.

...

Kita Ikuyo has always felt that her life is extremely boring.

I have decent grades, decent athletic ability, and a lot of friends; everything about me is pretty average.

She seemed to be molded by society, school, and various circles of friends.

Always do the right thing, the right thing to do.

One of the numerous JK people.

He doesn't even have any special skills.

Therefore, when he saw Senior Liang performing on the street, he was immediately attracted by her unique attitude and absolutely self-centered personality.

So I also wanted to join the band and work hard to change.

But... sure enough, some things are really just fantasies.

After sitting down, she didn't know whether she felt relieved or gave up hope.

Just now, Ishikawa-san asked her to do two things, very small matters.

Although she didn't quite understand, he helped her explain the situation to the seniors, and she agreed.

After the class, Kita Ikuyo thought about what Ishikawa Hayabusa had just asked her to do, and suddenly realized something.

In the class, an atmosphere of collective aversion to isolating one person seemed to be brewing.

The school has just started, how could this happen?

She had been so busy practicing and thinking about Ryo-senpai lately that she hadn't noticed this.

By the way, Ishikawa-san should be very clear about this.

This is going to be bad.

But why would he ask himself...

"Don't speak up for me in class."

19. Lunch

Goto Ichiri is quite worried about Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Although it was strange, she was clearly wearing a rustic sportswear, huddled in a pile of school junk, and eating her lunch box alone.

But I still couldn't help but worry about that seemingly sunny and easy-going boy.

If you hang out with someone like her for too long, you'll lose friends.

It would be terrible if I wasn't with my friends since school had just started.

"Doesn't Ishikawa-san have any friends either?"

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri suddenly smiled with such happiness that she seemed to be melting. It was so great to meet someone of the same kind as her, but she immediately shook her head to deny it.

"No, no, that shouldn't be possible. Someone like Ishikawa-san would definitely..."

In her fantasy, Ishikawa Hayabusa returned to the female fan club with a lively smile, sweat and victory, and took the drinks they handed to him with a cheerful smile.

Accompanied by them, using the cheerful movements like in the advertisements...

goo.

My heart can’t take it anymore!

Her dark heart was about to be sunburned to death.

Don’t think about it. Don’t think about it.

Goto Ichiri thought this in her heart, but she couldn't help but feel a little more afraid of Ishikawa Hayabusa, and she quietly hid in the corner again.

Doodle.

The sound of knocking on the wall.

There was probably only one person who would use such a joking gesture to remind her.

"Please..please come in."

Although this is not her home, she still said this, and she herself felt it was strange.

...

Ishikawa Hayabusa also hid in the corner, but he noticed that Goto Ichiri seemed to be sitting closer than usual today. However, he did not move closer, but continued to sit in his usual position.

The light from above the stairwell fell across his shoulders.

"I'm sorry for scaring you that day."

He opened his mouth and apologized once more, and after Ishikawa Hayabusa made a promise as a pervert on Friday, Goto Ichiri's facial features were frightened away, and then he fainted.

He was also shocked. Is this something that humans can do?

"Ah..no, it's okay."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head slightly and shook it gently, while his hand pressing on the lunch box showed no intention of opening it.

Don’t you dare open the lunch box before others start eating?

Ishikawa Hayabusa thought about it but opened the lunch box without paying much attention.

Broccoli, cherry tomatoes, tempura, fried chicken, octopus sausages, all kinds of food are assembled in the lunch box in a cute shape.

The combination of colors and the matching of meat and vegetables fully demonstrates the love of the family.

He silently thanked his mother for getting up in the morning and carefully preparing the lunch box for him.

Then Ishikawa Hayabusa looked across and Goto Ichiri followed his movements and carefully opened the lunch box and placed it on his lap. He took out the thermos cup containing soup and at the same time pulled out the chopsticks placed next to the thermos cup. He then held the lunch box with both hands holding the chopsticks.

She moved very methodically, and her cautious look made her look adorable, as if she was afraid that her lunch would be snatched away.

"I'm gonna start now."

After eating a few bites, Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed that Goto Ichiri's face was starting to turn blue with nervousness, and he looked at his opponent.

"Goto-san, would you like to exchange lunch boxes?"

Exchange bento!

This kind of thing just happened?!

Goto Ichiri was shocked.

She knew that on the surface this was a way for friends to strengthen communication, but in reality, it was a way to confirm each other's status.

The strong can enjoy the most delicious food from the opponent, while the weak can only eat the wrapping paper to show submission.

Goto Ichiri began to tremble.

She looked around and found that the best items in her lunch box were fried chicken, tomato fish fillets, and golden egg rolls.

In the other person's lunch box...

No! No paper for wrapping.

What...what to do, what to do.

"Exchange?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa asked.

Goto Ichiri nodded heavily.

Ishikawa Hayabusa handed over some of the lunch boxes and let her start first.

Goto Ichiri stretched out his chopsticks timidly, picked up the food and put it in his lunch box.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was dumbfounded.

"Why did you pick up my rice?"

His words frightened Goto Ichiri so much that his expression turned pale and his hand holding the chopsticks shook violently.

"Rice...rice is not okay either."

She returned the rice tremblingly, and then, as if picking up a piece of air, stuffed it into her lunch box.

Ishikawa Hayabusa held back his laughter.

No wonder Hongxia and the others said in the plot that Goto Ichiri was very interesting. Indeed, her actions were always unexpected.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the lunch box that the other party handed over respectfully, and picked up a golden egg roll without hesitation.

Then when the other party took it back, he quickly gave her a fried chicken nugget.

"Eh?" Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, and his expression returned to normal in an instant.
