Social phobia and lonely rock

In the absence of Ishikawa Hayabusa, Otsuki Yuyuko became much more relaxed and her attitude became much more moderate.

Sitting next to Hiroi Kikuri with the four people, after being comforted by Hongxia and Hiroi Kikuri, Otsuki Yuyuko looked at the four people who rarely chatted with each other and expressed her feelings truthfully.

"I don't know if what you said is good or not, but I certainly didn't get the feeling that he wanted to have a good relationship with me."

Hongxia showed an expression of realization.

She didn't understand the situation between the two before, but after hearing what Otsuki Yuyuko said, she suddenly understood.

"This... there are other reasons."

Unlike Hong Xia who was tactful, Liang was much more straightforward: "That person just finds it troublesome, don't bother with him."

Otsuki Yuyuko was a little confused, but she was really not interested in delving into it, so she turned to ask about the band and spoke to Hongxia.

"You guys seem to be very active lately, have you decided to go to the Unconfirmed Riot?"

"Ah...this." Hong Xia looked at the others hesitantly, and when she saw that they didn't say anything special, she said calmly.

“We plan to wait until after the new year before deciding.”

"what?"

Otsuki Yuyuko leaned forward while pressing on the table and shouted in dissatisfaction, with an expression that said "what are you doing?" on her face.

But Yudai seemed to have known her reaction and said with a smile as soon as she finished speaking.

"As long as you are well prepared for the performance, you don't need to make any special preparations. Just perform according to the routine. This is what our agent decided."

Otsuki Yuyuko's attitude could only scare people a little, and some of the four people either did not argue or did not care at all about her seemingly bad attitude.

As for the agent whom Yu Dai had never clearly affirmed, the other three just glanced at her and had no opinion at all.

Seeing that they did not completely underestimate the music festival, Otsuki Yuyuko relaxed and rested her chin on the table with her hands, just like Ryo who was sitting diagonally opposite her.

"In that case, wouldn't you be practicing all the time? Wouldn't you be tired?"

"No, I have less housework to do recently, and I live in...ah..." Hong Xia stopped talking halfway when she realized what was going on.

Yudai helps cover it up.

"We've been living together lately, it's no different than a training camp."

Liang held the phone without looking up.

"Yes, and now it's holiday, so I can practice from afternoon to evening."

Unlike the two people above who explained things seriously to Otsuki Yuyuko, Ryo was there to have fun and also to complain a bit, so he specifically reminded Otsuki Yuyuko about the amount of practice they had.

As expected, Otsuki Yuyuko was shocked, not only because of these roll kings, but also because of Yudai's words.

"What? Not only do we live together, but we also practice every day?"

The four of them were a little confused by her words. Why did they feel that she envied them more for living with them?

Otsuki Yuyuko also felt that there was something wrong with her tone, so she softened her tone.

"Wouldn't it be tiring and depressing to practice for such a long time?"

"Tired?" Yudai and Hongxia both looked puzzled.

"Why is it so depressing?" Yili asked in surprise.

"What do you mean by long-term practice?" Liang thought of something funny and looked away from his phone. His expression remained unchanged, but there was a smile in his voice as he asked.

After being questioned three times in a row, Otsuki Yuyuko was stunned, as if she had suddenly entered a strange realm.

Although many musicians enjoy music as a game and a path in their lives, there are not many who can do nothing but hide in the rehearsal room all day long.

She turned to Hiroi Kikuri next to her for help, but suddenly found that Hiroi Kikuri had disappeared at some point.

Otsuki Yuyuko hurriedly turned her head and looked around, and found Hiroi Kikuri a few tables away.

"Wow, you're awesome, bro."

Hiroi Kikuri said this calmly, raised the bottle and took a sip of wine.

At the same time, her tone contrasted with that of another excited young bass player.

"Too strong! Big brother, beat it!"

The two men surrounded Ishikawa Hayabusa on both sides, one standing and the other squatting watching him play games.

The game console originally in the hands of the bass boy has now been handed over to Ishikawa Hayabusa, but he still looks very excited.

When the young lead singer of the band heard the young bassist say this, he became excited.

"Okay! I'll show you my true strength..."

"Who called you? Don't let my elder brother misunderstand."

The bass boy corrected him immediately, patted Ishikawa Hayabusa's shoulder carefully and said, "This is my big brother!"

"He who knows the times is a hero. Okay, now that you've called me like this, I have to show you something wonderful." Ishikawa Hayabusa said this, but his hands were calmly pressing the operation keys.

Then, a burst of "What? Impossible!" "Can a human do this?" "Brother, teach me!"

Hiroi Kikuri, who seldom plays games, was also slightly surprised and said, "This guy is really good at playing games."

Ishikawa Hayabusa said in a proud tone as if this was no big deal.

"Have fun once in a while."

Hearing the exclamation from the other side, Otsuki Yuyuko was very curious, but because Ishikawa Hayabusa was over there, it was not easy to go over and she had to say it sourly.

"Boys are really stupid, it's just a game..."

After she finished speaking, she looked away and saw Hongxia and Yili also looking over there.

It seemed that Yili never took his eyes off Ishikawa Hayabusa, while Hongxia had a gentle smile on her face, and she seemed very happy to see Ishikawa Hayabusa having fun.

However, after Otsuki Yuyuko spoke, they also withdrew their gazes.

Hong Xia looked at Otsuki Yuyuko's complicated gaze, smiled and said, "Playing games is a good way to relax."

"Um..."

Otsuki Yuyuko was not surprised that Hongxia would stand on Ishikawa Hayabusa's side.

But she just saw something from Hongxia and Yili's eyes, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Although she didn't know what that thought was, she still asked tentatively with the idea that it shouldn't be possible.

"By the way, the four of you live together, so he won't be here with you too, right?"

Except for Liang, the three of them were stunned. Hong Xia came back to her senses and waved her hands hurriedly.

"How could this be possible!"

Yu Dai opened her mouth and wanted to tell the truth, but when she saw Hong Xia expressed her opinion, she followed suit.

"Even if they are in the same band, Hayabusa-kun is a man after all, so it's impossible for them to be together. Why do you ask, Otsuki-san?"

Otsuki glanced at the store manager Yoshida Ginjiro who was walking towards him from the backstage, and stood up, thinking that the rehearsal was about to begin.

"I just happened to hear Sister Hiroi say that you were all dating him, and I suddenly thought of it."

She said as she walked around a few people and prepared to go backstage: "It should be just Sister Hiroi's drunken nonsense."

The four of them looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

One mile opening.

"No... that's not nonsense."

"Ah?" Otsuki Yuyuko stopped in surprise and turned around to look at the four people.

...

The rehearsal at the performance hall is called a rehearsal, but in fact it is just a sound test.

After all, whether one has the ability to perform on this stage is usually determined by the store manager before the performance is arranged.

As for the status of the musicians...the tickets have been sold, and in a small place like a performance hall, there is no way they would recycle the tickets unless it is unable to operate.

Even if something happens, we can only sigh, "This is really rock and roll."

However, the group of people who ended up in the band with Ichiri, and who maintained a healthy lifestyle under the leadership of Ishikawa Hayabusa, can be said to have superb skills and good health.

Moreover, facing the stage that I'm already accustomed to, nothing happened that affected my mentality.

The sound check was naturally very easy. The five people just gave some suggestions on the sound and asked the tuner to make some adjustments. After playing a short piece and confirming that it was correct, they came down from the stage.

However, when he passed by the next SIDEROS who was auditioning, Ishikawa Hayabusa felt that he was being stared at by Otsuki Yuyuko.

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't care at all about being stared at, but he was a little curious.

Did he scare this arrogant girl into anger just now? But it didn't look like that.

Returning to the field with four equally puzzled people, Ishikawa Hayabusa saw Hiroi Kikuri, who was rarely so drunk, standing in the backcourt with her hands in her pockets and half-closed eyes looking at the stands.

When she heard the noise over here, she looked towards Ishikawa Hayabusa, smiled and raised her hand to signal them to come over here, and then spoke.

"Everyone's rehearsal is great. They've improved a lot since the last time I saw them."

Faced with the greeting from the person with whom they had the best relationship, Ishikawa Hayabusa walked over there without hesitation, and the girls followed him.

He said this without any modesty.

"In various games, movies, and other scripts, the protagonist's team may not be the strongest, but their level-up speed is definitely the fastest."

Hongxia walked up to him, pulled him and said.

"You're exaggerating when you say the protagonist's team or something like that!"

"That feeling is right, brother. Everyone in the band feels like a brave team." Hiroi Kikuri said in agreement, then paused, the smile on her face lessened a little, and continued.

"Just now, Otsuki-chan looked very angry and said, 'They must have been deceived by that guy.' It felt like she was talking about you, brother."

Next to Ishikawa Hayabusa, Hongxia was startled, but Ishikawa Hayabusa just smiled and waved his hand indifferently.

After hearing what Otsuki said, and thinking about the conversation between the five people he had just listened to, he immediately understood the situation.

"It's up to her. Otsuki isn't the type of person who would cause trouble for others. Let her do it."

"Oh, that's not good."

Yu Dai also immediately objected.

Ryo, who was mostly playing with his phone or watching videos when he was with other people, was looking at the SIDEROS band rehearsing on the stage at this time. He noticed that Otsuki Yuyuko was staring at Ishikawa Hayabusa and said.

"You'd better explain it."

"Well...I don't want Falcon to be misunderstood either."

Ichiri also agreed with Liang's idea.

Faced with unanimous opposition from his girlfriends, Ishikawa Hayabusa said to them helplessly.

"It's just a misunderstanding that won't cause any trouble..." He didn't even finish his words before they all stared at him and stopped him.

If it didn't cause any disturbance before, it will happen now. It will be a big deal if they all oppose it unanimously.

"Okay, okay." He immediately changed his tone.

Seeing that Ishikawa Hayabusa agreed, Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"But I know that Hayabusa is worried, so all you have to do is explain it clearly."

"No, I'm not worried about what you said..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa was very clear that his thoughts were different from Hongxia's. As he spoke, he found that the eyes on him suddenly became more serious, but he did not panic.

"I think the best way to prevent something is to not get infected at all."

...

But after the soundcheck, when SIDEROS came out from backstage, Otsuki Yuyuko was nowhere to be seen in the band.

But it’s not a big deal. I heard from other members that she went to the bathroom.

It's just the stage syndrome.

I heard from other members that she would get so nervous that her whole body would become stiff before going on stage.

Yili listened and nodded in agreement, which made Ishikawa Hayabusa pinch her arm curiously.

Not stiff at all, but soft and elastic.
