Social phobia and lonely rock

Of course, he still has to buy his own clothes.

The most troublesome thing about dating Liang is that if you don't understand what she is thinking, you will miss a lot of opportunities.

Liang is actually very generous and caring, but she hides it so well that Hong Xia, who has been playing with her since childhood and has excellent observation skills, didn't notice it.

Next to her, Yili didn't notice someone sneaking away and naively thought they were talking about her.

"Ahh... then, eh..."

She froze, hesitated for a moment, and shyly closed her eyes before mustering up the courage to say, "If you want to see, I can wear it alone and show you..."

"Okay, anytime is fine. I really like surprises."

Ishikawa Hayabusa was much more doting on Yili and spoke to her in a gentle tone.

"Kita-chan is right... Do you have the nerve to say this is slander?"

Hongxia looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa and complained.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was not refuted by her and remained righteous.

"I'm just responding to everyone's invitation!"

The five of them chatted and laughed as they moved forward.

As they walked around, they felt that there were more and more otaku advertisements on the store doors. However, Japan's otaku culture itself has permeated everywhere, and they have become accustomed to it. At this time.

"End the band?"

Hearing the voice, the five people who were chatting looked over there.

"Oh, Otsuki-san, long time no see."

Hongxia called out the name of the person who came. She didn't feel awkward at all as she hadn't seen her for a long time and greeted her naturally.

More than ten meters away, Otsuki Yuyuko, wearing low-key casual clothes different from her performance clothes and carrying shopping bags, looked at the five of them in surprise.

Japan is a small country, and Tokyo is even smaller if you only count the city, so the chances of running into acquaintances while shopping are quite high.

"Um..long time no see."

Compared to Hongxia's cheerful voice, Otsuki Yuyuko's voice was much deeper. She stared at the five people with a stubborn and somewhat retreating expression.

Compared with Hongxia, Ishikawa Hayabusa is not so polite.

He looked around around Otsuki Yuyuko and saw that no one coming and going was walking towards her. He quickly understood the situation and proudly moved closer to the girls and said.

"Hey, isn't this Otsuki? Why are you alone? Aren't you coming out to play with the others?"

As we all know, teasing tsunderes is one of the most interesting entertainments for humans.

With just one sentence, Ishikawa Hayabusa touched on Otsuki Yuyuko's pain points and areas of envy.

Otsuki Yuyuko was already envious of the band who were obviously out having fun together, and then being mocked by Ishikawa Hayabusa, she glared at him and gritted her teeth.

"Just have fun. Don't be proud of yourself just yet. Our band has already started preparing for the upcoming riot. When the time comes, just wait and see how we become the strongest band of the younger generation!"

Compared to Nijixia who is completely unable to attack, Ishikawa Hayabusa is more likely to arouse her hatred.

"Undetermined riot?"

Even now, Yudai knows more about band-related matters, such as stage performances, performance venues, and instrument technology, and he only knows a few particularly famous music festivals.

“It’s a music festival that only musicians between the ages of ten and twenty can participate in. It can be said to be a competition among musicians of the same age group, and there are quite a few bands that officially debut from it.”

Ishikawa Hayabusa retracted the sarcastic tone he used only towards tsunderes, and returned to his normal attitude as he explained to Yushiro.

At the same time, Hongxia asked Otsuki in surprise.

"Otsuki-san, have you decided to join the Undetermined Riot?"

Hongxia's surprised yet gentle tone froze Otsuki, who looked angry. As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person, and it was difficult for her to maintain her anger facing Hongxia, who remained gentle after she said that.

"Ah, yeah."

She stiffly retracted her angry expression and responded uncomfortably.

"so good..."

As Hongxia spoke, she turned her gaze to Ishikawa Hayabusa, and after looking at him, she spoke to Otsuki Yuyuko.

"What are you doing here, Otsuki-san?"

“Shopping...”

Otsuki Yuyuko's momentum was repeatedly and invisibly weakened by Hong Xia.

It turns out that the maternal lineage is the nemesis of tsundere.

Otsuki Yuyuko, who was so arrogant in front of Ishikawa Hayabusa just now, was completely defeated by Hong Xia.

Hongxia noticed Otsuki's discomfort and talked about business seriously with a gentle smile.

"Is that so... Well, if there is a chance, let's compete on that stage as we agreed before."

"Yes, you must definitely come. The stage will be meaningless without you."

Feeling that she had lost all her momentum, Otsuki Yuyuko said something in a defiant manner and turned around as if she had something to do.

"That's it, I'm leaving first."

"See you again when you have a chance."

Hongxia said goodbye politely and watched Otsuki Yuyuko go away. After her figure disappeared, Hongxia turned around and complained to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Hayabusa-kun has been too much of a bully to Otsuki-san."

As she spoke, her voice suddenly became smaller, and she murmured softly: "Although it is a good thing not to have much contact with other girls..."

"No, I think Nijigasaki bullies Otsuki more."

Ishikawa Hayabusa discovered that Hongxia could be quite dull sometimes.

Hongxia looked up and blinked blankly, then asked others for confirmation.

Liang: "What a beast."

Ichiri nodded as well.

Both Yinjiao were well aware of Otsuki's distress, and Yudai, like Nijika, had a dazed look of confusion.

After realizing that even if they became close, there were still things they couldn't understand, they didn't delve into the topic and continued walking towards the drum shop.

People were coming and going on the roadside, but the five people only paid attention to the conversation inside.

"So what do you think about the undetermined riot?"

After the huge success of the last music festival, Hongxia has more expectations for such a large-scale music festival.

She glanced at several people and stopped at Ishikawa Hayabusa.

At this time, Ishikawa Hayabusa was holding his mobile phone to confirm the detailed schedule of the music festival and read it out loud.

"First, there is a review of the demo songs, then there is an online vote, and finally there is a live review to decide the band that will perform on the big stage."

He confirmed the process and looked at the event time.

"The review of the sample songs will not be completed until April next year, and the official performance will not be until the summer vacation. I think it is more appropriate for us to decide whether to participate after the New Year and start working hard. We should not mess up the pace for things that are too far away."

He glanced at the three people who had no objection, looked at the hesitant Hong Xia, and added.

"Of course, we will continue to practice and create new songs as usual. We are no longer the fledgling band we once were. Steady progress is more important than anything else."

"Well... since Hayabusa-kun said so, alright."

Hongxia accepted it now.

Finally, the five of them went to a drum store. After walking around, Hongxia still couldn't find what she wanted to buy. Ishikawa Hayabusa then suggested buying an electric drum, which could reduce the damage to the ears to a certain extent and would also be convenient for practice.

After hesitating for a while because of the price, Hongxia finally accepted his proposal.

After buying the musical instruments, several people excitedly rushed home, wanting to go home and try out their new instruments.

Just as they took the train to Shimokitazawa and were walking home from the station, Ishikawa Hayabusa's cell phone rang.

He checked his phone and saw an unfamiliar number.

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it might be a harassing call or an advertisement, and spoke casually to the four people.

"I'll take a call."

"Ah."

The girls responded.

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't leave either, but answered the phone directly in front of them.

As soon as the call was connected, the other party asked directly.

"Is it Hayabusa-kun?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa was a little surprised. There were not many people who would call him so intimately and he didn't even have their phone numbers saved.

"It's me...Excuse me, who are you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the other side started crying.

"I'm Liang's mother. Liang has been out for a few weeks. Apart from occasional reports of safety, there has been no news from her. Do you know where she is?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa froze and turned to look at Liang.

Liang met his gaze calmly but with doubt.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was convinced by Liang. She said she would not tell her family and she really would not tell them.

This guy is really something. Ishikawa Hayabusa always feels that if he says he wants to take her around the world, she will most likely briefly consider it and then pack her luggage and go with him.

He thought for a moment and then spoke softly to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Sorry, Liang is here with me now..."

There was a sigh of relief from the other end of the phone, followed by a heavier question.

"You've been here for most of the month?"

"Um..."

"Then it seems that there is no need to ask how far it has developed... In this case, Hayabusa, can you take Ryo home tonight?"

"I need to ask Liang about this. And I'm sorry I didn't say hello for so long."

"No, no... I think it's because Liang doesn't want to say it..."

After expressing his condolences briefly, Ishikawa Hayabusa hung up the phone.

Liang had already recognized the identity of the person who called Ishikawa Hayabusa's cell phone.

"Is it my mother?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't mind that other people were here and spoke directly.

"Well, she asked both of us to go back home in the evening."

Liang heard Ishikawa Hayabusa say, "I need to ask Liang about this," and she immediately realized that he was asking her whether she was going home.

She thought about it and threw the question back to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Where's the falcon?"

"I'm OK."

Ishikawa Hayabusa had been prepared for this day.

Besides, since Liang has chosen to follow him, there is nothing to worry about. Liang is the kind of person who will not look back after making a decision.

"Then go back at night."

Liang said seemingly casually.

"Yeah." Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled easily.

Because this was Liang's family affair, the other three did not interrupt.

Although they were a little uneasy because the topic suddenly became heavy, the uneasiness in their hearts quickly dissipated when they saw Ishikawa Hayabusa's confidence and even his calmness in facing the challenge head-on.

Hong Xia, who had experienced this scene, looked at the few people and said with a smile.
