Social phobia and lonely rock

"Damn it, I want to learn guitar from that handsome senior too."

After she finished speaking, she ran out noisily. Then, a terrified scream of "Aiya!!" as if stained with some unspeakable filth was heard outside.

A please call with the big lynx.

"Handsome senior! Please teach me guitar!"

She probably grabbed Yili's hand suddenly.

At the same time, Ishikawa Hayabusa shouted, "Hey, don't bully Ichiri!"

"I'm sorry!" The mountain cat apologized loudly, and then said: "Ah, Senior Lack of Money, you are here too, would you like to train Hinata-san as well?"

When Hinata Huilian, who was at the bar, heard the voice, her eyes lit up and she ran out.

"Liang Senior~"

Hongxia started to have a headache. Why were the people playing in the band so weird? The entire performance hall was so noisy.

However, the five people from the new band still quite like this budding band.

After all, they could more or less see the shadows of themselves and their companions, and the people who took over their jobs were also doing a good job, at least they were much more honest than they were at the beginning.

Even Yuki Amemiya, who looks very timid, can do a good job in selling drinks and providing reception.

This made Hongxia feel more at ease.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa first suggested that she stop working part-time and focus on band affairs, she was hesitant for a long time.

At that time, not only Ishikawa Hayabusa, but even her sister persuaded her that it didn't matter if she was not around, so she temporarily let it go.

But just now I heard her sister shouting "Give Hongxia back", it seems that she was just being arrogant and stubborn at that time.

In the quiet front desk, Hongxia continued to speak to Amemiya Yuki.

"Is that so? If you need help, just ask. Yuki-chan is just as quiet as Pochi-chan, which is worrying."

Yuki Amamiya thought for a short while, nodded slowly, and thought for a while before speaking.

"I think the store business will be fine, but... Ijichi-senpai, the drums..."

Hongxia smiled softly.

Well, there really wasn’t that much to do in the store, and they were all smart and learned it quickly.

But there are many things to learn about musical instruments.

"Then let's go to the rehearsal room and practice for a while."

After Hongxia finished speaking, she saw that the other party showed some restrained excitement.

Walking out of the front desk, Hong Xia glanced at the noisy group of people nearby.

Her sister was sulking at the table looking at her laptop, while Pa-san and Hiroi Kikuri were sitting next to her playing with their phones.

On the young man's side, Ishikawa Hayabusa protected Yili under his arms like a chicken. Yili clung to his chest very happily. It might even be incorrect to say he was very happy.

It was an expression like one who was so happy that he was beginning to become confused and had evil thoughts in mind.

Seeing Yili like this, Hongxia was thinking in her heart.

Do they like Ishikawa Hayabusa more? Probably not. She likes him very much as well, but she can't express her love as frankly and intimately as they do.

It was too difficult for her to act coquettishly in public, so she could only hope for some surprises.

For example, when they were buying musical instruments, Ishikawa Hayabusa saw that she was lonely and pulled her over, or he hugged her like he did last night, and she was very happy.

Thinking about it this way, Hongxia discovered that they had quite a lot of intimate behaviors, but it made her feel inexplicably that they were not being realized.

His gaze continued to stay there, and Liang looked at Daiyumaomao and Hinata Huilian with a disdainful expression as if to say, "Are you polite?" It was obvious that he couldn't stand the two people who were split up and further strengthened by Yudai.

Not even Yudai could handle those two.

One is a sporty girl with no sense of boundaries and a loud and noisy voice, while the other is usually calm and in control of the communication atmosphere within the band, but occasionally turns into a crazy fan to harass them.

By the way, Hinata Keikoen had already become a fan of the band The End at the music festival, and she showed them the 20 sets of complete edition band The End peripherals she bought a while ago.

From mini albums to T-shirts to sweatshirts, end bands, badges and more.

At that time, Hongxia did some calculations and counted how much money she had spent with them. She was immediately shocked and asked her in a flattering way if she needed a back massage, but she was unsuccessful because she was taken away by Ishikawa Hayabusa as soon as she opened her mouth.

While walking towards the rehearsal room, Hong Xia said to the people who were making a fuss.

"I'll take Xue-chan to practice for a while."

When Ishikawa Hayabusa heard the voice, he quickly looked at the two of them, then glanced at the clock in the store.

"The store will open soon, don't lose track of time while practicing."

"Will do."

Hong Xia chuckled.

...

On the other side, Ryoya was helpless because of the noise and had to take the two to practice. At that time, Ishikawa Hayabusa remembered something and turned to ask Hiroi Kikuri who was lying on the table to sober up.

"Hiroi, is it true that you invited us to perform as a guest at Shinjuku Folt on the 24th?"

"Yeah~ Youyouzi really missed you guys."

Hiroi Kikuri, who was lying on the table, raised her hand and waved.

Ishikawa Hayabusa felt that what she said was different from what she meant by thinking.

"Hmm...it seems like this is really happening."

After confirming, Ishikawa Hayabusa thought for a moment, glanced at Liang who had stopped, and continued to say with a fun attitude: "But let's ask Miss Shima."

"Don't ask Shima, my words are useful!"

Hiroi Kikuri looked over weakly and cried out in a mournful voice.

...

Time passed minute by minute, and Hongxia looked at Yu Gongxue practicing the drum set with nostalgia. At the beginning, she was only taught by her sister's friend, and later she practiced on her own.

But she was not a particularly talented person, and after eight or nine years of practice her performance was only considered decent. Fortunately, her foundation was solid enough, and she worked hard in the past six months and barely caught up with the monsters in the band.

It didn't seem right to call her friend and boyfriend monsters, so Hong Xia smiled secretly in her heart.

But they are really amazing. Yudai learned to play guitar practically enough in half a year, and Ishikawa Hayabusa, Ichiri, and Ryo are like the iron triangle of the band, stabilizing the band.

While thinking about it, Hongxia noticed that Yu Gongxue's movements were unconsciously out of shape again, and quickly reminded her.

"Xue-chan, you're trying too hard and your body is stiff. Relax."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Yu Gong Xue hurried to make adjustments, but the more she adjusted, the more chaotic it became.

It is very difficult to recover from a panic, even for ordinary people, let alone those with social phobias who are more fragile.

Some people become so confused that they don't even know what is right. There are relatively few people with social phobia who can stand up at the critical moment like Yili.

“Ahh, eh…”

When she was panicking, Hongxia grabbed her hand and said to her.

"Don't be nervous. If you can't find it, just try again."

"Hmm..." Yuki Amemiya breathed a sigh of relief and started again.

Looking at Amamiya Yuki starting over, Hongxia recalled the scene when their official performance failed and Ishikawa Hayabusa stopped the performance and asked them to start over. At that time, she was probably more panicked than Amamiya Yuki.

Hong Xia couldn't help but smile with nostalgia.

When it comes to teaching others, Hong Xia is very patient and focused, and even Liang and the other two members of the Snow Cat Love Band on the other side are brought into the atmosphere of concentration.

Until one sound.

"Oops! It's already been so long since the store opened! Sorry, I have to go first, An Jing-san and Hinata-san, hurry up!"

After looking at the clock, Big Mountain Cat suddenly stood up with a shout. She politely apologized to Liang first, then hurriedly called her band friends and asked them to return to their posts together.

"Eh?! It's already this late!"

Hinata Huilian stood up in surprise and ran out following the mountain cat.

The same went for Amemiya Yuki. After she stood up, she politely apologized to Hong Xia before quickly chasing after the two men.

Hongxia was also surprised that they had practiced too much without realizing it, and was also worried about the situation outside. She quickly walked past Liang, who was leisurely packing up his guitar and bass, and followed them out.

But unlike the nervous few people, there was not a single wave of wind or waves outside.

There were quite a few guests chatting with each other in the venue, but there were also several people gathered at the bar chatting with the people inside.

Standing at the bar to serve customers were Ishikawa Hayabusa and Ikuyo. Hongxia didn't see Ichiri, so he should be at the front desk.

As for the three members of the Snow Cat Love Band who ran over in a hurry, they seemed to be rejected by them and failed to return to their posts, standing one by one at the entrance of the bar.

And Xingge, who was standing at the bar exit, also said so.

"It's okay. These guys used to take leave frequently. It's time for them to take over for free."

"Hey, hey! We didn't get paid when we took time off before!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa said dissatisfiedly.

Xingge was very rude to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"You are not short of money now."

Ishikawa Hayabusa pretended to be helpless, sighed and stopped talking.

Hong Xia looked at the calm place and finally realized that the store would remain the same even if no one was missing.

As she looked around, Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed her and waved to her.

Hongxia put her hands behind her back, swayed her body slightly, and responded with a happy smile.

...

After a while, the other two members of the Snow Cat Love Band were watching the performance outside. Only Yuki Amemiya, who was still upset about her recent failure, asked Hong Xia to continue practicing with her in the rehearsal room.

After practicing several times, I finally managed to perform a more difficult technique smoothly.

Hongxia congratulated sincerely.

"Great, Xue-chan, if you practice more, you can also type out "I Will Never Forget"."

Yu Gong Xue, who was still full of joy, was suddenly startled.

"Ijichi-senpai, how did you know..."

"After all, they were practicing a small section of our song right in front of me. It would be strange if they didn't notice it."

Hongxia sighed and smiled. She thought the other party had known it for a long time, but she didn't expect that he really hadn't thought about it at all.

Yuki Amemiya was also a little dazed.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Yumi Yuki stood up and apologized hurriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing her anxious look, Hong Xia quickly waved her hand: "It's a very happy thing that someone uses our music to practice."

Amemiya Yuki breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down, and looked at Hong Xia with some longing in his eyes.

She didn't continue practicing, but thought about it and asked.

"Does Ijichi-senpai like Ishikawa-senpai?"

"Eh? Why so suddenly..."

Hongxia called out shyly because of her words, but then she noticed the other person's suddenly nervous expression. She took a breath, calmed herself down, and then smiled and affirmed.

"Yes."

It was difficult to hide the fact that the five of them were dating from people they knew, and they had no intention of hiding it.

But when Hongxia answered, she noticed something strange.

"That Ishikawa-senpai... is such a jerk, and has such a low vision..."

Although it was true that he was a scumbag, Hongxia couldn't help but frown when she heard others saying bad things about her boyfriend. However, she felt that Amemiya Xue was not the kind of person who would gossip behind her back, so she asked again.

"why?"

"Eh?" Yu Gongxue was stunned for a moment by Hong Xia's question before speaking cautiously.
