Social phobia and lonely rock

But then she smiled, stepped lightly with her little feet in loafers and bubble socks, took two quick steps, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and said to Pochi, who was walking on the other side of Ishikawa Hayabusa and was pulled beside him.

"Goto-san, don't be nervous."

Pochi nodded timidly.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa saw Kita's kindness towards Pochi, he thought for a moment and reminded her.

"Speaking of which, Kita still doesn't know how to play the guitar. She can go to Pochi to learn. Don't be fooled by her appearance, she is very good at playing the guitar and is a true lover of death and heavy metal music."

Death Metal!?

Of course Kita remembered the word, this was the type of music that Ryo-senpai would be happy to hear.

She immediately ran towards the panicked Pochi and grabbed her hand.

"Goto-san, please guide me strictly as a senior of death metal!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa almost couldn't help laughing. He turned his head away, bit his lip, and stomped his feet hard.

...

When being pulled over by Ishikawa Hayabusa, Pochi was happy but also a little scared, because this was the first time that Ishikawa Hayabusa treated her in such a tough way.

But I heard the same tone as usual: "Let's go."

She relaxed a little.

Although she felt that she was attracting more attention this way, after all, here was a sunny handsome guy holding the hand of a gloomy girl and talking to another girl.

But it doesn’t take long to get to the station from here.

If you estimate, it would be 8 minutes, and 8 minutes is 480 seconds, so just count to 480.

1,2,3,4 ....

But suddenly, a sentence interrupted her silent counting.

"Kita doesn't know how to play guitar yet, you can go to Pochi to learn."

Ok?

and many more.

No, no, no, no!

If you say so.

The next moment, with the sound of excited footsteps, Kita quickly appeared in front of her, looking straight at her with his sparkling eyes.

"Goto-san, please guide me strictly as a senior of death metal!"

"please!"

Refuse! Refuse now.

She doesn't want to look at Kita's sunny smile every day, as it will purify her!

It's like a slug sprinkled with salt!

But after a long period of persistence...

"Ah good."

She finally agreed.

At the same time, she also realized that her social disorder could not be cured.

"Great."

Kita Ikuyo smiled happily, and then casually walked to the other side of Pochi.

Pochi: ? ?

...

Ishikawa Hayabusa gradually felt that Pochi was moving closer to him. He glanced at the girl next to him who was a head shorter than him.

Beside her, Pochi's facial features had begun to distort, and it was obvious that she was afraid of Kita who suddenly approached her.

But she probably didn't notice that she was almost leaning on Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked helplessly at Kita who was embarrassed beside Pochi, and he decided not to call Pochi back to his senses.

He always felt that if he called Pochi back to his senses at this time, there would be a horrible reaction.

The three of them continued forward in this strange state for a while.

At a fork in the road, Kita walked in another direction, smiled and waved at the two of them.

"Ishikawa-kun, Goto-kun, see you tomorrow."

Ishikawa Hayabusa nodded and reminded Kita with a smirk.

"Yeah, by the way, don't try to cram tonight and hurt your hands. Kita is already stupid enough, don't make it any more."

Hearing Ishikawa Hayabusa's voice at this time, Pochi turned his head in a daze and saw Ishikawa Hayabusa who was very close to him.

"Ahhhhh!!"

As soon as she jumped up with a scream, Ishikawa Hayabusa pressed her shoulders and made her stand up straight.

Then, when she was panicking, Ishikawa Hayabusa patted her shoulder and gestured to Kita who was about to leave opposite her.

Her long-term habit in society still made her bow slightly to Kita and say goodbye.

"Ah, see you tomorrow..."

"Yeah." Kita responded with a smile, and then complained to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Don't call me stupid!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around quickly as if to leave no room for rebuttal. The girl's small feet under her fluttering skirt stepped on the ground and gradually disappeared from sight lightly.

The only ones left were Pochi and Ishikawa Hayabusa who were on the same trip.

The two continued walking towards the station.

However, gradually, Pochi began to steal glances at Ishikawa Hayabusa from time to time, and the frequency of such glances increased continuously.

"Pochi is going to the station, right?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed and asked casually.

"Yeah." Pochi nodded slightly awkwardly.

"What does Pochi care about?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa raised the question.

Pochi was surprised for a moment, then asked.

"Um, Ishikawa-san is going to the station too?"

She herself was curious about why she could raise her doubts so easily, and she secretly tilted her head to look at Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Yeah, my house isn't that close actually."

Ishikawa Hayabusa said to Pochi with a smile in his voice, as if to tease him, "You didn't expect this, did you?"

Eh?

Pochi's pupils slightly dilated in surprise.

Then I began to think about why Ishikawa Hayabusa had to go to school so far away from home.

But after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized that the conversation was interrupted.

She looked up at Ishikawa Hayabusa, and couldn't say what she wanted to ask. She then lowered her head and fell silent.

The two continued to stroll along the road that was dyed orange by the setting sun.

But not long after, Ishikawa Hayabusa asked.

"Wouldn't it be hard for Pochi to travel four hours a day? Don't you plan to live nearby?"

Live nearby?

Pochi felt terrified just thinking about it, and refused repeatedly in panic.

"No, no, no, I can't do that. It's too difficult to live alone."

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't care about her panic, instead he said with a smile in his eyes.

"Then I asked Pochi two questions, and Pochi can ask me any questions he wants."

Ah, this is being treated like a child.

Pochi thought.

But also...

"Ishikawa-san...why did you come to this high school?"

she asked curiously.

"Of course, to achieve my harem ambitions."

Ishikawa Hayabusa clenched his fists and looked into the distance with a serious tone and a serious face, but he couldn't help laughing halfway through his words.

Pochi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

But she didn't ask any further, she just became more curious.

As the station got closer, it was time for the two to separate.

At this time, Ishikawa Hayabusa stopped, and Pochi was stunned after taking two steps, then looked back in confusion.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the girl who was wearing a cute sportswear of the same color as her hair, carrying a guitar on her back, and had a look of confusion in her clear green eyes under her bangs.

Her long pink hair was turned yellow by the setting sun, and her body was slightly hunched because she had been trying to hide herself for a long time. She was even a little panicked because of a situation that was slightly unexpected to her.

Ishikawa asked her.

"Pochi, how about we go on a date tomorrow morning?"

Pochi paused for a moment, then answered as if thinking.

"Ah..Okay...ehhhh!?"

But then he panicked again.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't give her time to recover and spoke directly.

"Then I agree to it for now. It's not really a date, you're just going to a place I often go to."

"If you're going, gather at Chihu Station at 9 o'clock tomorrow. If you're not going, just send me a message before then."

After he finished speaking, he asked Pochi.

"Have you remembered it clearly?"

After seeing Pochi nod, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and quickly walked past her towards the station.

"Then whether it's morning or afternoon, see you tomorrow."

Pochi felt that the situation was so unexpected that she was about to explode.

She stood there blankly for a long time, then took out her cell phone to write down the incident.

He stood there thinking for a long time, and finally walked towards the station hesitantly.

34. Chain

The same time has different emotions and flow speeds in everyone's eyes.

Inside the train, Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the people around him who seemed to be frozen.

Some were playing with their cell phones, daydreaming, reading, talking in low voices, looking out the window, and some were looking around like him.

This is solidified.

And outside the window, the flowing scenery is alive.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and checked it. Nearly 10 minutes had passed.

He had tried to ask Pochi out before, but it wasn't a sudden idea. It came to him when he saw Pochi and said to him, "Good luck with your part-time job."
