Social phobia and lonely rock

"Everyone knows it, don't worry about it."

Liang comforted her calmly.

Realizing that everyone else had expectations of her, Kita lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry everyone.. I just can't play the guitar no matter how much I practice..."

“When it’s played, it makes a low ‘bang bang’ sound.”

Liang was stunned, feeling hurt again as a bassist, and sighed.

“That’s the bass.”

Although she used a questioning tone, her words were full of affirmation.

"puff."

Ishikawa Hayabusa turned his back and smiled.

Although he had known that this scene would happen, he couldn't help himself when he actually saw it.

But in order to smile more happily, he spoke to a few people with his handsome face distorted and even twitching slightly.

"Xiduo...you...bring it here tomorrow and you'll know."

When Kita Ikuyo saw Ishikawa Hayabusa like this and what Senior Liang had just said, she immediately felt something was wrong.

But at this time, Ishikawa Hayabusa turned his back to her, bit his lips hard, looked up at the sky, and comforted her.

"Well, maybe there's just something wrong with the tuning."

After he finished speaking, he quickly rushed into the rehearsal room.

Hongxia stared blankly at Ishikawa Hayabusa who had hurriedly slipped into the rehearsal room. She could even hear his crazy laughter through the half-open door.

She turned around and gave serious instructions to the others.

"Everyone, tell me if you are bullied by Ishikawa-kun in the future."

But as she said this she didn't dare look at Kita, whose eyes were already filled with tears.

...

"Pochi-chan is really good at guitar, why is he so bad at rehearsal?"

The four of them were preparing to perform, connecting the speakers to power, etc., while chatting.

As for the one person left...

Kita Ikuyo squatted in the corner, muttering to herself as if Pochi was possessed.

Among them, Ishikawa and guitar are definitely not the wrong ones to buy. She repeated these words countless times.

"what."

In response to Hongxia's question, Pochi started to speak, but didn't know how to explain.

At this time, Ishikawa Hayabusa explained for her.

"Pochi usually practices alone and has never been in a band, so she can't coordinate well. Besides, she is quite shy and gets nervous around people she doesn't know well."

"Is that so?"

Hongxia was a little bit unconvinced by Ishikawa Hayabusa, so she asked Pochi for confirmation.

And Pochi stared at Ishikawa Hayabusa in a daze. After a few beats, she came back to her senses and nodded to Hongxia.

Hongxia's resentment towards Ishikawa Hayabusa grew even stronger, as he had actually tricked Pochi into this state.

I really don't know whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hongxia~~"

When Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed Hongxia's reaction, he seemed to be hurt by her. He covered his chest with one hand and reached out to Hongxia with the other hand, calling her name with tears in his eyes.

Hong Xia pretended to be indifferent and turned away her gaze.

"Then let's start practicing."

...

In the evening, the girls came out of the rehearsal room exhausted, and looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa with admiration as he hummed a song and jumped in front of them.

I practiced for most of the afternoon and it was still so easy.

What a pervert!

After the pervert walked out of the rehearsal room, he saw the manager of Xingge sitting at the bar and Miss PA lazily lying on the table playing with her cell phone.

He raised his hand generously to signal to the two of them.

"Good morning, both of you~"

"Oh."

Xingge glanced at them and then looked away.

Miss PA was relieved to see that everyone looked tired.

“I practiced very hard.”

Hearing her words of admiration, Ishikawa Hayabusa stepped on the chair next to him and said proudly.

"Of course, as a pervert, I am stronger and more perverted than the last moment every minute and every second."

"Wipe it clean for me." Xingge glared at him with sharp eyes.

"Roger that!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't pay any attention to her vicious tone. He saluted and ran to get some paper.

"Hayabusa-kun is really full of energy..."

Hongxia looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa with admiration, and even Kita spoke in admiration.

"yes..."

33. Team

It was almost time for dinner. The five people walked out of the underground space where the lights were always on, left STARRY, and prepared to go home.

The dim sky was dotted with stars, and the five people parted ways on the road divided by tall buildings.

Hongxia was in a group with Liang. She waved goodbye to the three people on the other side and made a reservation for a gathering tomorrow.

"Then see you tomorrow at 1pm~"

"Well, senior, see you then~"

Kita also raised his hand and waved.

She is in a group with Ishikawa Hayabusa and Pochi.

At this time of farewell, Ishikawa Hayabusa was as free and unrestrained as ever, and he said like a pervert.

"I really want to go to Hongxia's house for dinner."

As he spoke, he had a smile on his face, making it impossible to guess whether he was serious or not.

His words made Hongxia withdraw her hand with a stiff expression, and look at Pochi without leaving a trace.

Pochi was not used to saying goodbye on the street like this, she said in a soft voice.

"See you tomorrow.."

As he spoke, his little head nodded.

I don’t know if she really heard it, but from more than ten steps away, Hong Xia responded with a bright smile and waved her little hand gently.

Then she quickly picked up the cool step and walked towards her home.

Seeing Hongxia's reaction, Ishikawa Hayabusa complained.

"Tsk, Hongxia is so stingy."

However, his words were not recognized by the two girls around him.

Even Pochi and Kita quietly moved away from him.

But he smiled without caring.

Then the three people who were traveling the same way walked side by side on the streets of Shimokitazawa.

At this time, some shops on the roadside have set up night stalls and are busy preparing various ingredients.

There were already people wandering the streets, having started their nightlife early.

Among the crowd, Ishikawa Hayabusa and two other people were quite eye-catching.

Next to the sunny and cheerful high school boy and girl, there is a gloomy girl with pink hair, hunched back, head lowered, and a guitar on her back.

Pochi seemed to sense the strange looks around him and gradually moved away from the two people, but slowed down his pace out of fear.

The sound of their conversation still reached her ears clearly.

"Did Ishikawa really start learning an instrument the day he joined the band..."

"Kit is just too stupid."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the girl beside him who was admiring but a little disappointed, and complained without any politeness.

"I say, Ishikawa-kun, can you be a little gentler..."

Kita Ikuyo's expressions change quickly, and her cute face reflects a variety of subtle emotions.

There is a kind of lively and smart cuteness.

Even so, Ishikawa Hayabusa showed no mercy and interrupted Kita.

"do not want!"

"What a terrible personality!" Kita complained angrily.

"Because Kita is quite fun to bully."

Seeing her showing various emotions because of his words, Ishikawa Hayabusa couldn't help but continue teasing her.

Kita was stunned. Her cheeks, which were slightly red due to the setting sun, showed a bit of helplessness as she complained.

"so bad."

At this time, Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed that Pochi was almost nowhere to be seen nearby, so he looked back.

Pochi was trembling and trailing behind them a few steps away, her figure almost being dispersed by the crowd.

That little creature, with its head down and dragging its feet, looked extremely pitiful.

He stopped.

Kita looked at him in confusion, then followed his line of sight to see Pochi, and immediately understood the situation.

At this time again...

She was unhappy, but not because of his helping Pochi, but because of his sometimes good and sometimes bad attitude at that time.

But that's exactly the case....

Kita didn't say anything, just watched Pochi walk over nervously, not knowing why.

She wanted to know more about this boy, she wanted to know how he would act in various situations, so she didn't greet Pochi.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa saw that Pochi's pace was getting slower and slower because of confusion and uneasiness, he couldn't help but take a step towards her.

He just pulled up her wrist.

"Let's go."

Ishikawa Hayabusa ignored her expression and pulled her forward.

Pochi's whispered response came from behind him.

"Ah...hmm."

Kita looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa who suddenly became so domineering with a little surprise.
