Social phobia and lonely rock

"Isn't there someone here who hasn't passed the make-up exam yet?"

But Liang answered inexplicably arrogantly.

"I've already made up for my high school classes."

"Really?"

Hongxia didn't seem to believe what Liang said at all. She asked Liang a few questions to test his knowledge.

But what she didn't expect was that Liang could actually answer them well.

She turned to look at Ishikawa Hayabusa in astonishment. She thought the two of them had had a great time over the weekend and had forgotten everything.

Ishikawa Hayabusa snorted with satisfaction.

"I tutored Liang over the weekend."

Hongxia looked at him quietly without saying anything. After a while, Ishikawa Hayabusa also shrank his head embarrassedly.

After all, Hongxia had just confirmed with him in the morning whether he had done it with Liang, and he honestly answered "yes".

This is the price of honesty.

Kita noticed that the atmosphere on the field had become strange, so she moved the topic forward, speaking with a delighted smile and an admiring voice.

"I can only say that you are worthy of being Hayabusa. Now everyone can find time to go out and play."

Ishikawa Hayabusa gave Kita a thumbs up implicitly, but Kita glanced at him pretending to be unaware, without fixing his gaze on him.

Hearing what Kita said, Hongxia was stunned and hurriedly stopped him.

"Hey! Kita-chan wait!"

She looked around at everyone and reminded them in a strong voice: "Now that the make-up exam is over, we should get back to practicing and performing. This is a critical period for the band."

Recently, they have been busy with the start of school, make-up exams and some personal matters, which have taken up too much practice time.

While someone was having a great time over the weekend, Hongxia was checking the delivery and review status of the mini album.

Among the many positive reviews, she saw a lot of news looking forward to their performance. They also needed a formal debut performance to maintain their popularity. A substitute performance like last time would not do.

It might even be better to hold more shows, or go to other venues to see if you can get performance opportunities to increase your fans.

"Eh..."

Only Kita let out a long sigh, feeling inexplicably dissatisfied.

Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed the reactions of Ichiri and Liang next to him, and he reminded Hongxia.

"Hongxia, you didn't forget that we agreed to go out and play together after the make-up exam?"

Hongxia was stunned, and was awakened by Ishikawa Hayabusa before she remembered the agreement before school started. She suddenly felt guilty and smiled awkwardly, clasping her hands together to apologize to Kita.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I accidentally forgot."

Because so many things happened recently since the start of school, her brain was occupied by one thing, and she really couldn't remember some of the small things that happened before.

"Oh, yes, it's okay."

Kita was also stunned for a moment before responding, and judging from her appearance, she seemed to have forgotten as well.

But even so, Hongxia looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa with some worry again and said to him.

"But we haven't practiced much lately, so it's time to have some live shows..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa placed his hands on the table, looked at her with a chuckle and explained.

"It won't affect us to go out and play in the morning or at noon for a day or two, and practice at night. Besides, everyone is very tired from studying, so if we have some expectations of playing, we can practice harder, right?"

At the end, he confirmed it to others as if to make an effort to ensure their safety.

Yili: “Hmm…”

Liang: "That's right, it's nice to go somewhere and have some fun."

Kita clenched his fist and said excitedly: "Just like Hayabusa said, now that we have the idea of ​​playing later, we can work harder now!"

She also looked quite eager to go play with the others.

In this underground space, the long-lost light of Kita appeared.

kita!

Under the light, Nijika, Ichiri, and Ryo reluctantly stepped back a little, but it seemed that they had also adapted to Kita's light.

Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief. She was a little anxious just now. After Ishikawa Hayabusa's analysis, she also understood the situation.

If you are just going to play for one or two days, there is really no problem. And once you have made a plan to go out and play, it can make everyone work harder after the make-up exam.

She finished thinking and raised her head, just in time to meet Ishikawa Hayabusa's gaze, which seemed to be asking if this was a feasible solution.

She nodded slightly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled.

She paused and looked away.

When Kita began to look at Nijixia with suspicion, Ishikawa Hayabusa said to the four of them.

"Then the next step is practice, and..." He raised his voice a little and said to Xingge who was sitting at the bar.

"Manager, can you please give us a spot as the centerpiece soon? Let us be the center of the show for the day."

"I'm not giving it to you, idiot."

Xingge, whose favorability towards Ishikawa Hayabusa was still negative, said without hesitation.

But her words angered Hong Xia who was standing next to her, and she turned around and yelled angrily.

"elder sister!"

Xingge paused, but did not speak.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled secretly in his heart. This arrogant and proud elder sister must have already quickly arranged their performance opportunities in his mind.

He stood up and spoke to the four people.

"Let's go practice for a while."

The four girls agreed one after another, and when the four of them stood up and walked towards the rehearsal room, Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was the last one left, said to Xingge.

"Then please give me a good date, manager."

Xingge didn't finish her words and glanced at him coldly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and ran away quickly. He still wanted to try his best to build a good relationship with Hongxia's family, but there was no rush and he could just take it slowly.

When he arrived at the rehearsal room, Ishikawa Hayabusa saw that the four people had already taken out their instruments and started tuning them. He quickly walked towards his fixed position.

Just when he passed by Yili, he heard a very subtle discordant sound coming from inside the guitar when Yili twisted the strings.

He stopped and looked at Yili, who still knew nothing. When she looked at him, he smiled without saying much and walked away.

After all, this is not something that needs to be rushed.

After everyone is ready, the group training begins.

And then...it's over.

There wasn't much to do during the break. During the intermission, Ishikawa Hayabusa played and sang randomly. The strange improvisation of lyrics made everyone laugh helplessly. Liang took out a new song, and Ichiri also took out the lyrics he had written at home for two whole days.

When they saw the lyrics, they were all shocked by her change in style.

And Ryo's comment was "Although you're still a little gloomy, Pochi, you've changed for the better."

The others practiced for a while, and when it was almost time to start, they began to pack up their instruments.

When everyone started to collect their musical instruments, Ishikawa Hayabusa spoke to Yili.

"Yili, you've been using your guitar for a long time, right? Do you plan to change it?"

Ichiri paused in pulling the guitar bag, looked up at Ishikawa Hayabusa and said hesitantly.

"Well...I don't have any money..."

"Yeah."

Ishikawa Hayabusa just responded casually. He noticed that Ichiri didn't want to change the guitar.

He didn't force her, but put the keyboard bag on his back, walked over and said to her.

"Then tell me when you want to change it, and I'll buy it for you."

Ichiri glanced at Ishikawa Hayabusa's keyboard bag before responding.

"Ah...hmm."

...

Kita was the only one who left for work today. As a busy social person, she needed to make up for her presence in the social circle which had disappeared for so long.

Yili still stayed to go home with Ishikawa Hayabusa. She had passed the make-up exam and was practicing in the rehearsal room today.

However, she, who could usually endure the loneliness of long hours of practice, took a look at the guitar she had borrowed from her father and had used for nearly four years during her break today, and also looked at the keyboard stand left by Ishikawa Hayabusa in the store.

She slowly touched the surface of the piano, hesitated for two moments, and then showed a lost expression again.

until night.

As Ishikawa Hayabusa put away the cleaning tools, Liang finally wiped the countertops and various machines with a dry rag, and today's part-time job was over.

And for some reason, Xingge, who usually went to save money at this time in the past, or stayed for a while at celebration parties after being invited to perform, did not leave today.

But this is convenient for Ryo and Ishikawa Hayabusa who are working today.

After packing up all the tools, Ishikawa Hayabusa walked back to the hall, passed by Liang who was dozing off at the table, and walked towards Xingge who was looking at the computer with one hand supporting his chin and the other moving the mouse.

He walked lightly into Xingge's attack range and asked with a smile.

"Manager, can we go back now?"

"Go back quickly."

Xingge said without even looking at him.

"So cold..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa shrugged his shoulders weakly, and then suddenly changed his tone to a happy one: "Then I'm going to go find my lovely Hongxia-chan."

After he said that, he turned around and jumped away, swinging his arms.

Behind him, Xingge looked at him with murderous eyes, and before Ishikawa Hayabusa reached the backstage entrance, Hongxia had already walked out from the backstage.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was naturally not afraid of the terrifying gaze behind him, and walked towards Hongxia with a smile.

"Hongxia-chan, I haven't hugged you much today, let me hug you."

"Eh..."

Hongxia was stunned for a moment. She looked around and saw her sister and Liang in the venue. Her expression became helpless.

She grabbed Ishikawa Hayabusa's arms as he tried to hug her and pulled him backstage.

Xingge and Liang turned their attention to the two people, but when they entered the backstage, the door was closed by either Ishikawa Hayabusa or Hongxia.

One of the two people in the field looked nervous, even with an expression of "where is my knife", while the other one was looking at the closed door with a smile.

The lights in the backstage passage were not bright, and here, Hongxia put her hands on her hips and lectured Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Hayabusa-kun! No matter what, you can't do this to me in front of my sister."

She obviously didn't want to irritate Xingge, and even less did she want to show off her affection in front of Xingge.

"Eh...but doesn't my sister already know that we're already dating? Ryo should know that too, so it's okay, right?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa objected in a coquettish manner.

Hongxia lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said seriously.

"no!"

"So strict..." Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled, but the smile on his face at this moment was extremely cunning.
