Social phobia and lonely rock

As soon as Liang turned around, the first person he noticed was Hongxia, who was playing the drums behind the drum set. Among the girls, she was the fastest to notice Liang's reaction.

The two men's eyes met, Hongxia quickly glanced towards Ishikawa Hayabusa, and Liang nodded.

Then, Liang ignored Ishikawa Hayabusa's gaze and looked at Yili.

On this stage where everyone was excited by the atmosphere of today's performance, she was the only one who looked the calmest. I didn't know if it was because of the series of questions just now or because of the preparations for what was to come.

After she looked at Yili for a while, Yili was stunned and turned his head.

Liang looked at her inquiringly, and Yili nodded firmly, as if he was prepared.

They sang this song very quickly and they were about to enter the solo part.

Reminded by Liang's gaze, Yudai finally came to her senses. She smiled expectantly and directly took over Ichiri's lead guitar part.

Then, Yili ran backstage without hesitation.

“Even if the performance is not great, even if I can’t face forward.

But these phrases and this song are also the sounds I really like.”

Ishikawa Hayabusa had been paying attention to his girlfriends' actions since the beginning. Although he knew what they were going to do, he didn't expect them to be so bold. How could they play like this in front of so many people?

Of course, if they knew what Ishikawa Hayabusa was thinking, they would definitely say it together.

"It's all your fault!"

In a few seconds, Yili, who had been well prepared, brought up a bag before the solo. While running carefully, she quickly unzipped the bag, revealing the shoulder-mounted synthesizer inside.

It was a synthesizer with the shape of a battle sword, or a battle axe. Black and white buttons were arranged on the back of the blade, and there were many setting buttons on the handle.

Yili ran up to Ishikawa Hayabusa with the synthesizer and handed it to him.

On the stage where the singing was the most intense, Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at Ichiri who was holding a synthesizer in front of him.

She lowered her head slightly and held the synthesizer in front of him with both hands. There was worry and uneasiness in her blue eyes, but she pursed her lips and said stubbornly.

"Falcon... Thank you for doing so much for everyone... This is a gift for you that we all raised money for... I know you want everyone to be with you and it's very stressful... So..."

Yili said very seriously and firmly.

"Now that you are free, in front of everyone, play something cool!"

On this noisy stage, only Ishikawa Hayabusa could hear Ichiri's anxious voice, and he looked at the others.

Yudai, Liang, and Hongxia all nodded to him seriously to show their anticipation.

For a moment, Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't know what expression to make.

What is this? Is this the reward for having a great harem?

Also, Yili, the part you just said was what I said when I first invited you to play.

To outsiders, it may not seem like anything, but to Ishikawa Hayabusa, even if he guessed what they would do, he was very moved.

Today, they arranged an opening confession for him, and raised money together to buy him a gift and gave it to him here.

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew that this synthesizer was not a cheap item. These four girls, who were reluctant to take a taxi in the rainy weather, really spent a lot of money for it.

Ishikawa Hayabusa thought a lot in his mind, but he reached out his hand without hesitation and took the synthesizer.

Yili smiled and quickly returned to his seat, picking up the guitar again. The other three people beside him also smiled with satisfaction and concentrated on playing, ready for the coolest solo that would be brought by Ishikawa Hayabusa.

“No matter how much effort it takes.

I’m going to keep playing, too.”

Ishikawa Hayabusa held this Tomahawk synthesizer that could directly steal the limelight from the lead singer and guitarist, and quickly reconnected the amplifier.

He is no longer the new musician who foolishly unplugged the plug of the amplifier and was dizzy because of the sound of the amplifier.

After connecting the wires, he walked to the front of the stage, checking the condition of the instruments following the music.

As the four people sang desperately to pave the way for his solo passage, Ishikawa Hayabusa walked to the front.

“Even if it’s clumsy, try to convey your sincerity.

Tie us together, wherever we go."

The solo section begins.

The singing stopped, and the four people with black bands tied around their wrists looked at him together.

The audience in the entire auditorium were also looking at him, who was standing at the front, holding the coolest synthesizer that was obviously given to him by his girlfriend.

Ishikawa Hayabusa ostentatiously stepped on the foldback speaker and pressed the keys of the synthesizer.

It doesn't steal the show, nor does it dilute the original theme of the song, but the electric melody that comes out of the loudspeaker fills the entire auditorium, even making the entire auditorium vibrate with resonance.

The melody was so beautiful that it could not be described. It was so soothing that it went beyond the hearing sense, penetrated deeply into the consciousness, purified all worries, and made people want to relax freely to the music.

Then, he continued to lead the song, and although the four of them were also shocked by the music, they did not stop as they kept playing according to their muscle memory.

“(I + society – communication) × understanding = out.

Me + you who are prejudiced, sound ÷ infinite loop = band. "

The world seemed to be silent, leaving only the beautiful song slightly adapted by Hayabusa Ishikawa.

“It’s a waste of effort anyway.

Even so, I will continue to play.

No matter how clumsy it is, the melody must be conveyed.

Let’s play this out everyday.

Tie us together, today, tomorrow, and forever.

Wherever you want to go.”

...

After the song ended, the five people took a breath and looked at the quiet audience, wondering what their reaction was.

But after a long silence, no one responded.

Until a little child's applause was heard. That small sound seemed to trigger an avalanche, and suddenly, overwhelming applause filled the auditorium.

Then there were waves of desperate shouting.

"Encore! Encore! Encore!"

Faced with this voice, while the girls on the stage hesitated, Ishikawa Hayabusa calmly raised his fist.

"Then continue! Never Forget"

"Eh eh eh?!"

Hongxia screamed in surprise. This was a school festival with a fixed time. How could they do this?

However, unlike her who was surprised, Ichiri and Ryo were already preparing to play, and Yuyo smiled apologetically towards the executive members of the school festival, but turned around and said to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"One, two, start!"

The music started again.

...

The school festival performance ended successfully.

But the five of them fled from the school. After all, behind them were thousands of people who were moved by their music and became their die-hard fans.

Looking at the five people who were fleeing like lightning led by Ishikawa Hayabusa, Xingge smiled helplessly.

"How much more is that pervert hiding?"

Sato Aiko, who was looking at the five figures, also spoke.

"His playing level should be among the best in the world."

Xingge did not comment.

“He is also the happiest person in the world.”

...

After they were far away from the school, the five people finally felt relieved and walked quietly, but they still couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts.

They stared at each other unable to calm down, having so many things to say but not knowing how to start.

Until one person took the lead, Hongxia excitedly walked to the front, looked at the few people, and there was a tone of disbelief in her excited voice.

"Today's performance...was completed successfully?"

She seemed like she couldn't believe that their performance, which they were planning to give up just for Ishikawa Hayabusa, could actually be a success.

Yudai laughed and jumped to the side to answer her.

"Yes, it was a great success! Thousands of people listened to it with great joy. We are so awesome."

Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was surrounded by the girls, held his head high and patted his chest proudly.

“I have contributed to this.”

"I have a share, too."

When Liang said this, she looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa. It was obvious that what she said was different from what Ishikawa Hayabusa said.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and hugged her.

"Yes, yes..." Hongxia saw that they were the same as usual, as if she had regained a sense of reality. She treated them dotingly, but she looked more at Ishikawa Hayabusa.

She added: "But it seems that Hayabusa needs to be more restrained..."

"Eh..." Ishikawa Hayabusa suddenly looked at Hongxia with tears in his eyes.

Yili, who had been listening to the conversation quietly, also spoke anxiously at this time.

"Then...it's better for the falcon to be free."

"That's right..."

Hongxia did not deny what Ichiri said, but there was hesitation on her face: "But Hayabusa is so handsome when he lets go. I heard the voice of Hayabusa confessing his love to him just now."

"Me too..." Yu stared at Ishikawa Hayabusa with complicated emotions.

Seeing his girlfriends showing uneasy expressions, Ishikawa Hayabusa opened his arms as if asking for a hug, regardless of the fact that they were on the street.

The girls had strange looks in their eyes, but they swarmed over without hesitation. The five of them huddled together amid the surprised gazes of passers-by.

Ishikawa Hayabusa said this after hugging four girls who were different from each other but all loved him.

"It's already tied in a bunch."

"Does this mean that we don't need to join others?"

Hong Xia asked, leaning against his chest with a peaceful smile.

Ishikawa Hayabusa answered affirmatively.

"Ah."

"Are you happy?" Liang asked, hugging his shoulders.

Ishikawa Hayabusa said without hesitation.

"It's like wrapping the entire universe with a piece of cloth that can filter out everything except happiness. After twisting off everything that can be filtered out, I run wildly on the remaining land."

"I can only say nice things..."

This time, Yu Dai was pushed to the back and she muttered in complaint.

"Then give me a kiss."

Ishikawa Hayabusa laughed and tried to get closer to her.

"You can call me anything you want!"

Yu Dai didn't accept it, she stepped back, and the five people had enough of the intimacy and dispersed.

They looked at each other and noticed the musical instruments on each other's backs. Even Ichiri and Ishikawa Hayabusa were still using two swords.

They laughed at each other's silly couple behavior.

"Go home first."

"Okay!" Yu Dai adjusted the guitar strap.
