Social phobia and lonely rock

The three of them then changed direction and walked towards the station.

Along the way, it was Xiang who began to remind his parents how to track Ishikawa Hayabusa.

“If you see your brother later, you must not speak. As long as we speak where we can see him, he will definitely hear our voices and recognize us immediately.

Also, don’t keep your eyes on him for more than a second, or he will notice, and…”

Along the way, Xiang fully demonstrated his understanding of Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Her parents looked puzzled as they listened. Were they going to track some super spy?

As they talked, the group walked to the station, confirmed the departure time on the spot, and then went to the foot bath nearby.

When they arrived, there were already two people in the foot bath, two women.

One blonde, one redhead.

The blonde woman was checking something on her phone.

The red-haired woman collapsed on the ground, still talking.

"My body feels so warm and refreshed. I don't want to go back to Tokyo. Long live Yufuin!"

The blonde woman said after a while, "That's weird, why hasn't Yudai posted any photos yet."

Yu Dai?

Sister-in-law's name?

After sitting down, Prince Xiang showed a puzzled expression, but he just thought it might be a duplicate name.

"Hello..."

Ishikawa Jinbe greeted the two women before sitting down, but noticed Ishikawa Shizuka's slightly piercing gaze and immediately looked away.

After all, both women were extremely beautiful, and looked to be in their twenties or thirties, the most mature and attractive age.

However, Ishikawa Jinpei just reminded them that he also needed to take a foot bath to avoid being disliked by them later.

The blonde woman looked up and nodded as a greeting.

The red-haired woman waved her hands unsteadily, as if she were drunk.

"It's okay. Good things like hot springs should be freely enjoyed by everyone."

Why does this tone sound like that of a local?

Xiang watched silently on the side, took off his shoes and socks, and put his feet into the steaming hot spring.

The scorching heat instantly flowed from the feet into the body's trunk, dispelling all the cold and accumulated fatigue.

"Hmm~ The temperature is very comfortable."

"Right?" The red-haired woman smiled and looked at Ishikawa Jinpei: "But uncle, you feel like a friend of mine."

"Uncle...?"

Ishikawa Jinbe's expression was stiff. Ishikawa Shizuka glared at him again. He coughed and gave a perfunctory answer.

"Well, it's quite rare for me to be told that I look like someone, haha..."

The red-haired woman noticed Ishikawa Shizuka's gaze and smiled and stopped talking.

These two people are naturally Xingge and Hiroi Kikuri.

Yesterday, the two of them took the high-speed train and arrived at the hotel at night. Then, after a lot of trouble, Hiroi Kikuri managed to avoid the hotel waiter and secretly stay in Xingge's room.

The two of them enjoyed a nice hot spring bath in the room, and started the main purpose of this trip early this morning.

Follow Ishikawa Hayabusa and see how he and Nijixia are getting along.

It should be said that Xingge's main purpose was that Hiroi Kikuri just wanted to use the hot spring.

Therefore, it was not a coincidence that I met the Ishikawa family in front of the first train station.

It's just that tracking was a challenge from the beginning.

Miraculously, Yu Dai didn’t post on Instagram.

However, it was still early, and Xingge still held on to hope, preparing to take the bus departing at 8 o'clock to Beppu for righteous surveillance activities.

Of course it was righteous to see if her sister was being bullied! She didn't think that what she did was a perverted thing like stalking.

Under this clear sky with white smoke floating in the air, a tracking race is about to begin.

233.233

The reason why Yudai didn't post on Instagram was simple, because at that moment she had just put her phone in the locker, and while she was happy, she was shivering in the cold winter wind as she went to soak in the open-air hot spring.

Next to the Yufuin bus stop.

Xingge put down his phone and thought about how to track those people without Yu Dai reporting the location.

On the other side, Jinpei Ishikawa also thought of a similar question.

He knew that Ishikawa Hayabusa was in Beppu, but how could he find them once he got there?

If he rushed around blindly, there was a greater possibility that he would be found by Ishikawa Hayabusa first. After all, he also knew about Ishikawa Hayabusa's extraordinary fighting power.

With his feet soaked in the scorching hot spring, Ishikawa Jinpei thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution. He asked Xiang beside him with a stupid and mature smile.

"By the way, Hibiki, do you know if there's any way to find them?"

Xiang took a photo of the three of them soaking in the foot bath with his mobile phone, and was stunned when he heard what Ishikawa Jinpei said.

"Dad, didn't you leave a locator on my brother?"

Xingge on the opposite side paused, then was filled with questions. What kind of family is this that they would leave a locator on their son?

Calling him a stalker is an understatement; he can already be considered a pervert.

Ishikawa Jinpei seemed to have heard Xingge's thoughts and shouted to Xiang in disbelief.

"Am I that kind of pervert?"

"That means..." Xiang's expression showed some disgust: "Did you just think of following your brother when you got here?"

Xingge felt that her eyes had stayed on the family opposite for too long, so she pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, but her attention was still focused on that side.

But it turned out that he was also tracking me, what a coincidence.

Are all those who travel to Yufuin here to follow someone?

"Haha..." Ishikawa Jinpei laughed dryly twice, then sat aside a little because of his daughter's increasingly disgusted look.

"Even if we can't find it, it would be nice to go over and have some fun." Ishikawa Jing smiled and made a draw.

Xiang waved his hand hastily to dissuade him.

"No, if my brother finds out, it will become a parent-child meeting."

Xingge couldn't help but think that if Hongxia found out, she would definitely be angry.

But fortunately, she is not as amateur as the one across the street. She is wearing a knitted hat, a mask, and a set of sunglasses...

Something seems wrong?

As Xingge was thinking about it, her eyes suddenly couldn't help but look at Hiroi Kikuri who was lying on the ground next to her.

Hiroi Kikuri lay comfortably on the floor, stretching her hands casually: "It's great, if only there were such a good place in Tokyo at night, I would never be so cold after drinking again."

"You will drown." Xingge reminded coldly.

It is not uncommon for people to drown in a basin-high pool of water, but that's not important.

The important thing is that Hiroi Kikuri has no tracking equipment!

Looks like I have to get rid of her.

But when she was thinking, she happened to miss what Shizuka Ishikawa said: "I don't think Hayabusa will reveal it."

Xiang yelled in dissatisfaction: "That's too embarrassing! Wouldn't our whole family become stalkers?"

It turns out you are self-aware. However, the brother you followed must be innocent.

After Xingge made up his mind to get rid of Hiroi Kikuri, he focused his attention on the strange family across the street.

At this time, Jinpei Ishikawa showed the thick-skinnedness of an adult member of society and a corporate slave who had worked in the workplace for many years. He waved his hand as if it was no big deal.

"Who said we were stalking? We just went on a hot spring trip after Christmas, spent a day in Yufuin, and then went to Beppu for sightseeing, and we just happened to run into them."

This uncle’s excuse is quite good, Xingge silently took note of it in his heart.

And when Xiang was about to speak, the whistle of the bus being ready interrupted her.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Ishikawa Jinpei lifted his feet from the hot spring as soon as the bus whistle sounded, wiped them with a towel and stood up.

"Hurry up, there will be no room left."

Although Xiang was full of complaints, he did not hesitate when it was time to go. He quickly dried his feet, put on his shoes and socks, and ran towards the bus, talking as he ran.

"Dad, Mom, hurry up!"

The Ishikawa family got on the bus when there were not many people on it.

When they got on the car, they heard the driver say that they were very lucky. The road was blocked by heavy snow two days ago, and it was only reopened today that they came here, and they could also see the snow-covered Mount Yufu.

After hearing this, Xiang excitedly said to her parents, "Sure enough, following my brother was the right decision!"

Her words stunned the driver who had just resumed work.

Even though they were planning to follow Ishikawa Hayabusa, the Ishikawa family did not give up their trip.

Xiang is very much like a modern young person who is captivated by the Internet. As soon as she got on the bus, she started to check what scenery she could see on the bus, where her brother might go to play in Beppu, and to show off her trip to her friends.

Jinpei Ishikawa was flipping through a magazine on the bus, reminiscing about his travels in his youth and sharing memories with his wife.

Shizuya Ishikawa was waiting for the vehicle to start while chatting with her husband about fragmented memories with anticipation.

While this family was living in harmony, Xingge was fighting.

"Hiroi, go play by yourself."

"Hey, but I don't have any money. Senior, please take me with you. You are the only one I can rely on here. I will pay you back for the travel expenses later."

Hiroi Kikuri pulled Xingge and acted coquettishly.

Xingge rolled her eyes. She knew that this man was not so easy to get rid of. Having been entangled by him once, she didn't want to waste her energy here. She could only see if there would be another chance later.

A shameless drunkard like Hiroi Kikuri is the perfect counter to tsundere.

"Okay, then it's none of my business if you get lost."

She agreed without thinking, bought tickets with Hiroi Kikuri and got on the bus.

Ten minutes later, the bus started and headed towards Beppu City with a few not-so-normal tourists on board.

I won’t say much about the beautiful winter snow scenery along the way. The heavy snow two days ago still covers the mountaintops, and the ice and snow freeze the mountains into pure scenery.

Xiang sat in the car and watched the bus moving forward and the surrounding scenery changing constantly.

The mountains, fields, and sides of the driveway were covered with high snow that had been swept away.

Amidst this scenery, the group quickly left Yufuin and arrived in Beppu.

...

While several people were getting off the bus, on the other side, Ishikawa Hayabusa and Hong Xia were just about to get on the bus in the city.

The bus stop is just a little way down from the hotel, but still very close to the hotel. It goes without saying that there must be a lot of business going on here.

But this is convenient for both of them.

"It's surprising that Hayabusa-kun actually agreed to take the bus."

Hongxia was walking in front. She was wearing a light blue down jacket that reached her thighs.

The zipper of her coat was not zipped up, and it swayed with her light steps, revealing the sweater and calf-length skirt she was wearing underneath.

The ribbon she had always worn was tied around her wrist.

The thick and well-shaped clothes make her look more petite, and the low-saturation combination makes her look even sweeter.

The pure white clothes were lifted up when she looked to her side, and her every frown and smile made people feel that she was the unattainable white moonlight in their youth.

"Why do you think I would disagree?" Ishikawa Hayabusa lagged behind her by half a step, looking at her relaxed steps and asked.
