Social phobia and lonely rock

Her thoughts can only be seen from the extremely emotional lyrics and performance.

Ishikawa Hayabusa remembered that the lyrics of this song were submitted during the make-up exam, but the idea should have been conceived even earlier, even before school started.

She changed herself at that time, but she said in the lyrics that she lowered her head and hunched her back, just as she wished.

He looked at Yili, who was sitting quietly in the chair and resting, and realized that this girl had already decided on her future path and way forward.

While Ishikawa Hayabusa was thinking, Hongxia, who was sitting on a chair wiping her sweat, looked at him. After Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed her gaze, she looked around at the few people happily and said.

"Everyone did a great job in today's performance. The audience was very excited. Thank you for your hard work."

This statement is too rigid.

And it feels like this person is hiding something too.

While thinking about this, Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed that Yuyo was also about to speak. He guessed that this person was also rigid, so he temporarily put aside the matter of Yili and said with disdain.

"What do you mean by hard work? Isn't this what every one of us wants to do?"

Being rejected by Ishikawa Hayabusa, Hongxia, who was in a very good mood because of the successful performance, puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Let me say something nice, really..."

Yudai smiled softly when she saw Hongxia acting coquettishly towards Ishikawa Hayabusa after being bullied by him, and then said excitedly.

"But Senior Hong Xia is right. Tonight's performance was so enjoyable. It was the first time I heard such applause and cheers at Fanxing."

Her speech reminded several people of the admiration and thanks they received after the performance.

Yili agreed: "Yeah, the whole venue is excited."

Ishikawa Hayabusa also agreed that tonight's performance was indeed very good. Apart from their new songs, the other songs they played also received warm responses from music fans.

With such an effect, they seem to be sure to maintain this popularity and continue to grow upward.

Hongxia had just finished complaining, but after hearing what Yudai said, the dissatisfied look on her face quickly disappeared and turned into a smile of satisfaction and joy.

"Well, there's more than that! Tonight is the first time we've earned any money from a performance! We can go to my sister and get the money later, just like the previous bands did!"

She has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Although I received money for my last substitute performance, the feeling of receiving the money was just like receiving pocket money, which was not formal at all.

"Give me some."

When she is happy, pouring a basin of cold water on her will naturally make her feel cold.

Even though this person's house provides him with food, lodging and a bedding, he still remains like this.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was laughing in his heart, but veins bulged on Hongxia's forehead due to being interrupted.

She clenched her fists and looked at Liang quietly.

Liang looked at her small but very strong hand and calmed down.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the others again and found that they were also unable to contain their excitement.

Seeing this, he put some pressure on them.

"But starting from next month, we won't just be performing here. If everything goes well, we can go everywhere to collect money."

Hongxia blinked her ruby ​​eyes and began to imagine the scene in a trance.

She seemed to be imagining them performing everywhere and becoming famous wherever they went.

Yudai also lowered her head in deep thought. She seemed to be thinking about going out to play.

Liang looked at the band purse in Hongxia's hand, imagining the bags changing into one after another.

Ishikawa Hayabusa finally looked at Ichiri and was surprised to see that Ichiri was not afraid, but looked like he wanted to complain, so he guessed.

"Yili thinks I just made us sound like robbers."

She froze and noticed that everyone else was looking at her. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded sadly.

"Um..."

After Hong Xia came to her senses, she denied it with a smile.

"Pochi-chan! We only received the money after working hard on the performance."

"So how much did you earn tonight?"

Ryo asked curiously.

...

Xingge usually doesn't settle the ticket revenue so early. She usually starts counting the indicators of each band when the last performance is about to end.

But today was different, her sister's band was the main force in today's performance, and she could foresee how popular tonight's performance would be before it started.

But she still underestimated their strength.

Fanxing is not a big place, and it is often packed, but it is not easy for even a well-known band to attract hundreds of people to perform.

Holding a slightly thick envelope, Xingge suppressed her joy for her sister's success and walked to the backstage pretending to be calm.

When she passed by PA-san's tuning area, PA-san glanced at this hopeless sister-con and smiled slyly.

The tsundere sister-con who was eager to congratulate her sister but didn't want to show it naturally didn't notice PA-san's expression.

When she pushed open the backstage door, the five members of the closing band were talking very realistically about money.

"It should be around 5... no, 6."

Hongxia felt that her expectations were a little low, so she mustered up the courage to raise them a little and looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa tentatively.

She obviously felt that Ishikawa Hayabusa could give a roughly accurate number.

It was in the dark that Ishikawa Hayabusa saw clearly how many people came to see their performance tonight, and he also estimated the number of people who bought their tickets tonight.

But he didn't say anything. He heard Xingge's footsteps outside the door and looked towards the door.

The four of them followed his gaze and looked towards the door.

Xingge walked in from the door with a calm expression, but noticed that five people were already looking at her. She was slightly startled, but still spoke.

"Stop the band, your share of the night has been calculated."

She spoke calmly, as if she was facing an unfamiliar band, and took out a slightly thick envelope.

"Great!"

When Hong Xia saw the envelope, her eyes lit up and she ran over quickly.

Not only her, but Yudai, Yili, and Liang all stood up from where they were sitting and ran to her side to see how much money was in the envelope.

The only people present were Ishikawa Hayabusa and Xingge. One pretended to be calm, while the other watched them opening the envelopes with a knowing smile.

"All...all tens of thousands of yuan..." Yili was stunned with shock.

Hongxia opened her eyes wide and counted the sheets carefully one by one.

"Ten thousand yuan, twenty thousand yuan, three, four..."

The three people nearby were also staring at the stack of banknotes.

"13, 14, 15! One hundred and fifty thousand yuan?!"

Hongxia screamed in disbelief, then hugged the money in her arms and jumped up excitedly.

"What should I do? So much money! How should I spend it?"

"Buy musical instruments? No, an amusement park? No, that's not it! Let's just have a celebration party without caring about anything else!"

Seeing that they had earned so much money, Yudai and Ichiri also jumped excitedly with Hongxia.

However, among the three seemingly lively and innocent girls, one's chest was shaking inexplicably.

Although this is only a small amount of money compared to the band funds they gained after selling the mini album, the huge amount of money they received from the successful performances made them overjoyed with a full sense of accomplishment.

Hongxia was happy for a while, then she reacted and pounced on Xingge.

"Thank you, sister!"

Xingge couldn't help but smile when he saw Hongxia like this, but he still spoke in a lukewarm tone.

"This has nothing to do with me. It's the result of your own hard work."

"Hey...it's okay to be happier!"

Hongxia complained with a smile on her face.

...

After Xingge, who ruined the atmosphere, left, Hongxia began to count their income for the day.

Today they not only have income from performances, but also income from the sale of peripheral products.

However, compared with those ten thousand yuan bills, it lacks the aura of large sums of money, but has more impact in terms of the number of banknotes.

After counting the money, Hong Xia put it in stacks and pieces into the band's fund bag.

After everything was settled, she wrote down the number in the notebook and looked around at everyone present.

"Although I said that just now when I was excited, now that we have so much money, it's time to spend it a little. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

It is true that Hongxia is frugal, but she is not a miser. In the beginning, the band was supported by the five of them working part-time. Now that they have an income, she also wants to give back.

Her idea was to pay out part of the performance as salary, since the money she had earned from producing the album was already enough anyway.

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew what she was planning, but for him, this was a good opportunity.

An opportunity to enjoy benefits.

"Yeah, we went to the beach in the summer, so we should go somewhere in the winter as well."

When Ishikawa Hayabusa spoke, the girls who were still thinking about how to use the money looked at him together.

Several people were very familiar with Ishikawa Hayabusa's various tones and expressions. They knew that he was holding it back again, but they couldn't help but continue listening, wanting to know what he was going to do.

Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced at Yudai and said distressedly.

"Although I have a bath at home, I still have to go to a real hot spring in the winter. It's better to go to the hot spring town."

kitan!

A certain girl in the room clasped her hands together and a bright smile appeared on her face after wiping off the sweat.

"I wanna go!"

Hongxia is wooden.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa did not stop, but continued to speak.

"I remember that many composers were supposed to compose music leisurely in a private hot spring hotel, right?"

"I agree." Liang hugged his chest and nodded coolly.

Hongxia didn't need Ishikawa Hayabusa to continue talking, because she knew that the last person would agree with whatever Ishikawa Hayabusa said.

It is more like a great honor for Ishikawa Hayabusa to pretend to be democratic and win votes.

Even if he said directly that he wanted to go to a hot spring hotel, no one would refuse.

"Yes, let's go to a hot spring hotel, but it's only mid-September now, why think about something so far ahead..."

When Hongxia was reminding her seriously, she was stunned and looked towards Yili.

Yili noticed Hongxia's gaze and thought about the meaning of her gaze.

She shook her head.

Hong Xia sighed helplessly.

"Then let's just leave it as it is for now."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the two people suspiciously, then looked at the other two, and after thinking for a while, he chose not to expose them.

197. In pairs

As usual, after a celebration party that was disrupted by Hiroi Kikuri, the few of them prepared to go home.

Coming out of the izakaya, a few adults walked in front and five people walked behind.

Hiroi in front was staggering with his drink in hand.
