Social phobia and lonely rock

Yudai: "Everyone, I'm sorry! I can't go tonight."

Hongxia came back at this time.

"Hey, Ikuyo-chan...what's wrong?"

Yudai: "Dad asked me to stay home with Mom..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa recalled and remembered that Yudai's mother was the kind of mother who cared very much for her children, but did not like to explain, and would interfere a little more in her children's lives.

It's been a while since we last met, so I guess you must be reluctant to part.

And Yudai's father feels a bit similar to himself.

When he is free, he will tease his wife, and when something happens, he will be very concerned about her.

Ishikawa Hayabusa: "That's nothing we can do. After all, we have to go on a long trip later, so we should just spend more time with her."

Hong Xia: "Well, Yudai-chan, don't worry about it."

Yu Dai: "But I feel bad about this, how about starting a video call and I'll join the party online!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa thought about the scene, with his cell phone on the side and Yuyo passionately talking about the topic in the small rectangular frame.

He was immediately amused and quickly typed: "Cyber ​​portrait?"

Yudai didn't seem to understand.

"What do you mean, Hayabusa-kun?"

Hong Xia: "You don't have to work so hard."

After chatting for a while, Ishikawa Hayabusa walked through the crowd and saw some scenery outside the car window that was becoming more and more familiar. He knew that they had arrived in Shimokitazawa.

He said in the group.

"We're almost at the station, so let's not talk anymore. See you later."

Several girls responded, but only Yudai said.

"See you tomorrow..."

Ishikawa Hayato seemed to have seen her pitiful appearance. He happily put away his phone and then welcomed the slight shake caused by the deceleration of the train.

He did not lean forward with the crowd, but stood firmly in place, and then walked out of the car slowly along with the crowd.

At the station on Christmas Day, people were constantly coming and going, but there were also many people quietly waiting for someone in the corner.

Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced around and found that most of the people waiting were women, which he found inexplicably interesting.

He immediately saw Yili's figure, but unfortunately, she was surrounded by several bad guys.

...

Ten seconds ago.

While Yili was watching the group chat on his phone, he heard a voice approaching.

"What a cute girl. Hey, are you waiting for your boyfriend? You've been waiting for a while. He definitely won't come. Just come and play with us."

"Yeah, if a boyfriend makes a girl wait on Christmas Day, just dump him."

"Ah... um." Yili looked at the three tall men surrounding her at a loss, lowered her head, and hid her chin in the scarf, making her face look chubby.

"I'm still waiting for someone... Please move aside, the falcon won't be able to see me..."

"I told you that kind of boyfriend..."

At this time, Yili closed his eyes in fear, but held something tightly in his hands.

The next moment, a familiar voice immediately made her open her eyes and look.

"It's not nice to be around my girlfriend and say bad things about me."

Ishikawa Hayabusa stood behind the three bad guys and said with a smile, his hands pressing heavily on their shoulders.

"It hurts, it hurts!!"

When they started screaming in pain, Ishikawa Hayabusa pushed them away.

Knowing they were in the wrong, they just complained about their bad luck and left quickly. They were reluctant to look back, but they walked away even faster after being glared at by Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Seeing the few people walking away, Ishikawa Hayabusa withdrew his gaze and saw Yili's sparkling eyes and excited expression.

Why are you so happy...

Thinking of this, Ishikawa Hayabusa patted her shoulder and encouraged her.

"Well done, that's what you should call me now."

When Ichiri heard his words, hesitantly, then smiled with relief, and happily leaned over and hugged Ishikawa Hayabusa's arm.

"Yeah...and...Falcon is like hero, so cool."

So that was the reason. Ishikawa Hayabusa thought she liked the feeling of being rescued.

As he walked out with Yili, he struck a stance with one hand.

"Is that so? I'm here to take part!"

He jumped twice with excitement which was rare in Ichiri, and then looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa who struggled for a few seconds, bit his lip and said:

"Falcon, if I buy a cosplay costume, can you wear it?"

"Okay." Ishikawa Hayabusa agreed cheerfully, and then said with a smile: "I finally found a hobby other than guitar."

Yili said shyly: "This is not a hobby, I just want to see Falcon wearing it..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her teasingly.

"Then I can't easily agree to this reason!"

"Eh?!!"

"Yili has to dress according to my requirements."

"it is good!"

As they talked, they quickly put aside the unpleasant incident that had just occurred and walked along the busy and cold street towards the restaurant where the party was to take place.

...

In the small private room of the izakaya, the atmosphere was already in chaos because of Hiroi Kikuri.

"Hahaha, Senior, you're already thirty years old. Time really flies. If that's the case, I'll be thirty too. Ahahaha, drink, drink."

Hong Xia looked at the drunkard who was holding up his glass and bringing the atmosphere to the abyss in one breath, as well as several older women who were also provoked by her and ignored the people around them who were wiping tears and drinking.

Not only Xingge, but even Iwashita Shima, who was in the same band as Hiroi Kikuri, touched his face with melancholy.

"I feel wrinkles on my face now, it's all because of Guangjing...sigh..."

What made this celebration so depressing was not only the group of adults drinking, but also Yuyuko Otsuki and Ryo who were sitting in two corners respectively.

They seemed to be displeased with each other and sat far apart, each quietly playing with their phones.

Only Hongxia and the three SIDEROS around her were relatively normal.

But she was already thinking, it was over, tonight's party was over before it even started.

Hayabusa, Ikuyo-chan, please come quickly, even if it's just a video call, and clear away this dark atmosphere!

She can't control the situation by herself!

She tried to save the situation again, changing from sitting to kneeling to make herself taller.

"Well, everyone, be happy... Today is the celebration party..."

"But today is also your 30th birthday, Hongxia, a young person like you doesn't understand the meaning of turning 30... Senior, uh uh."

Hiroi Kikuri lay on the table and cried as if Xingge was dead.

Xingge, who had been drinking silently because of her stimulation, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'm still alive!"

At this time, Otsuki Yuyuko, who had been watching Hongxia in the corner for a long time, also stood up.

"Sister Hiroi, please stop now."

Hongxia looked up at Otsuki Yuyuko with gratitude.

But her next sentence exposed her emotional intelligence.

"You still have three years until you're thirty."

At this moment, the wine glass on the singer's table suddenly broke into pieces for some unknown reason.

Hong Xia looked at her forehead where veins were bulging and cried out inwardly.

Falcon, you better wait a little longer! My sister is on the verge of going berserk!

And at this most inauspicious and inappropriate moment, the shoji door of the private room was opened.

Ishikawa Hayabusa stuck his head out and asked with a smile.

"What do you mean 30 years old?"

Stop provoking my sister!

Let’s just postpone the birthday party. I’ll go home and spend the evening with my sister!

Hongxia screamed in her heart.

227. Dragon Slayer

Tonight's dinner is still at a place like an izakaya. After all, a group of musicians don't have that much spare money.

Being cool, handsome, drinking, and having no money can be said to be the inherent impression of musicians.

To the point that he became one of the 3Bs who are recognized in Japan as not being able to be boyfriends.

It is very easy to be cheated of money and emotions, even if you are rich. They may even be more aggressive in cheating you than before.

This group of people, who are not wealthy except for one man, chose to book a room simply because it is Xingge's birthday today and there are more people coming tonight, so communication will be more convenient this way.

After reporting the room number at the front desk, Ishikawa Hayabusa and Ichiri followed the waiter along the aisle to the private room.

Faced with all kinds of noisy drinkers around her, Yili was not panicked. She glanced at the waiter walking in front of her and spoke to Ishikawa Hayabusa in a low voice.

"Falcon, there won't be any problems with the party tonight."

"Are you worried about Xingge?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa also looked at the waiter in front of him, lowered his head and asked in a low voice.

Ichiri nodded quickly but slowly.

Seeing her like this, Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced at the waiter who was walking straight ahead and the man who was drinking next to him, and rubbed his head against hers affectionately.

After a few steps, they arrived at the private room they were going to.

When they arrived here, the waiter knocked on the door and asked first, and then let Ishikawa Hayabusa and Ichiri in. When he heard the women inside talking about age, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and ignited a spark.

"What do you mean 30 years old?"

Hiroi Kikuri said that this izakaya was a place with very good value for money, and it also had large private rooms compared to izakayas, so the group followed her.

The moment he knew it was Hiroi Kikuri who recommended it, Ishikawa Hayabusa was less excited about tonight's meal.

Isn’t it true that as long as a drunkard has a good drink, looking up at the stars can turn into touching heaven?

As he spoke, he walked into the private room. The furnishings inside were very traditional, with a low long table, chairs, tatami, and some decorations. It felt simple and clean.

But the scene in the private room was already a bit chaotic.

There were people who were drunk, people who were drinking alone, people who were trying to liven up the atmosphere, people who were used to this kind of situation and just chatted among themselves, and people who sat in the corner and drank quietly.

Before he even walked into the private room, he was suddenly stared at by a dozen women.

When they looked at him, Ishikawa Hayabusa was also looking at the people who came tonight.

Ending the bands, SICK HACK, SIDEROS, three bands, and adding the Star Songs that most people here know, that’s all the people.

Almost everyone has arrived, and it seems that he and Yili are the last ones to arrive.

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with turning 30?" Xingge asked him with a gloomy face.
