Social phobia and lonely rock

When she walked beside Ishikawa-kun, she was obviously in a much higher spirits than usual, and she even secretly glanced at Ishikawa-kun's face from under her bangs.

There was a lovely blush on her face, which was definitely not caused by the street lights or the lights nearby.

There was nothing like this yesterday.

Is that what happened afterwards?

In such a short time?

As she walked forward, she was getting closer and closer to the place where she was going to separate, and Kita felt that she couldn't just do nothing.

Her heart began to tighten.

Is she going to take action? How?

But when she saw the timid and weak Goto-classmate being so happy, she couldn't help but feel that for Goto-classmate.

Ishikawa-kun is indeed the best boyfriend.

He will carefully protect Goto-san.

But as she thought about this, she felt unwilling to accept it.

"Kit is very quiet today." Ishikawa Hayabusa suddenly spoke at this time.

Kita, who was lost in thought, was startled by the sudden voice. Noticing Ishikawa Hayabusa's gaze, she raised her head and smiled with a nonchalant look.

"I was just thinking about the guitar, and I was scared by Ishikawa-kun."

"Really?" Ishikawa Hayabusa asked meaningfully, "Aren't you thinking about some messed up things?"

"what does it mean!"

Kita felt that his mood was seen through and panicked, and asked stubbornly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa shook his head and spoke like chanting a mantra.

"Like running away, running away, running away, and so on."

Although the dark history was mentioned, Kita breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended to be angry to explain.

"I only did it once, okay? And I won't do it again."

As she spoke, she slowly lowered her head. It suddenly occurred to her that she had joined the band purely on impulse.

I did something impulsively that embarrassed everyone. Although it was resolved perfectly that time, I may not be so lucky every time.

Is she going to do something impulsive this time and regret it later?

She looked at Pochi.

Looking at Gai Bochi's bangs that went over her eyes and her sportswear that didn't look girly at all.

Goto-san may not be Ishikawa-kun's type, and she has only known Ishikawa-kun for a month.

What will happen in the end, just... let's wait and see for a while.

46. ​​Ice Cubes

After parting with Kita, who was much quieter today, only Ishikawa Hayabusa and Pochi were left walking towards the station.

On the crowded street, I walk forward with a weak and beautiful girl in sportswear, no, a girl who can only be considered a rough gem now.

This feeling is very interesting.

Ishikawa Hayabusa trailed her by half a step as if teasingly, and moved forward in perfect coordination with her steps.

As Pochi lost her reference point and was in a mixed mood, her pace slowed down for a while, then quickened as if she was worried.

While walking, her mouse-like eyes kept secretly glancing at him, secretly observing the reaction of the man next to her.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa felt the gaze, he looked down and met Pochi's eyes.

Then Pochi immediately avoided the gaze and lowered his head as if shy.

A lot of things happened today, Ishikawa Hayabusa thought.

I had a date with Bochi in the morning, went to Bochi's house at noon, had a band meeting in the afternoon, and then went to Liang's house.

It was a busy day, but also a day surrounded by all kinds of girls.

The harem king is now complete.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and then spoke to Pochi, who lowered his head and slowed down his pace.

"Pochi, is it okay to work part-time?"

Pochi stopped walking, and Ishikawa Hayabusa also stopped and looked at her.

After a while, her breathless voice was heard.

"Um..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't delve into it and just said it casually.

"Let's just leave it at that. Do you think Pochi wants to stay here forever?"

Pochi came over reluctantly. Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at her with her head lowered, not knowing whether she was disappointed or out of habit. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

The girl with long pink hair, wrapped tightly in a pink sportswear, tensed her body a little and then relaxed.

Amid the noisy, surging crowd, Ishikawa Hayabusa heard her soft whisper.

"I'm not afraid of the falcon when it's next to me."

Ishikawa Hayabusa said nothing, put down his hand, took her wrist, and walked towards the station.

...

"I am back."

Pochi had just returned home and said hello when he heard quick footsteps coming out of the living room.

"Yili, welcome back."

Her mother came out with a smile on her face, looked at her, then looked at the closed door, and her smile faded a little.

As if he was disappointed with his daughter, he sighed calmly.

"mom!"

Pochi saw the meaning behind her expression and shouted in dissatisfaction.

But her mother ignored her and walked towards the living room, talking as if to herself.

"Hayabusa is a good boy, why didn't you bring him back..."

Bring it back...bring it back?

Where does the falcon rest? It can't be in her room, right?

Besides, Falcon just came to their house today. Do her parents really trust the friends their daughter has made?

Pochi thought about it, and his eyes became much more pitiful.

She changed her shoes alone and walked into her home.

Then, after returning to her home, she seemed to be back on track.

I finished my dinner in silence amid the laughter of my father and sister, and a few words from my mother, then returned to my room, entered the closet, and started playing popular songs and recording videos.

After finishing it, I practiced guitar for a while.

Finally, I lay on the tatami and stared at the familiar ceiling in a trance, began to review today, and thought about what I would do tomorrow.

The girl, who was wearing a sports suit and unsightly black socks, first curled up with a smile, and then turned to the other side.

Then he twisted back and rolled on the tatami.

But after thinking about the happy things, she felt that some things she didn't want to think about quickly popped up.

Part-time job.

Tomorrow...working part-time at STARRY...working part-time...

She sat up suddenly, her eyes revealing fear, and she rolled and crawled, rushing downstairs quickly.

I don’t want to work, absolutely not!

And when working in a livehouse, you will definitely have to deal with all kinds of people.

A man with a studded jacket and a Mohawk in the apocalypse and a woman with the same outfit and a whip suddenly appeared in Pochi's mind.

Although I told Falcon that I wasn't afraid, that was when he was around. Now...

Just let her escape for a while.

Pochi hurried downstairs and left home amidst the puzzled expressions of his parents in the living room.

A moment later, when they were considering whether to cook some red bean rice, Pochi came back carrying a bag of something that was as hard as stone and made a friction sound.

The two of them got up from the sofa in confusion and looked out from the living room together.

I saw Pochi carrying the bag into the bathroom.

After a few seconds, Pochi came out of the bathroom again and walked towards the refrigerator with a determined look on his face.

Before her parents' eyes, who were following her curiously, she opened the refrigerator, took all the ice from the freezer, put it in a bag and went into the bathroom.

They followed her to the bathroom.

When they saw Pochi pouring bags of ice into the bathtub, the two looked at each other silently and sighed at the same time.

Pochi's parents are relatively open-minded and don't interfere with Pochi's own decisions.

Besides, their daughter had done so many strange things that there was no need to stop any one of them.

Just, today.

"That's the only option." Goto Michiyo looked at her husband.

Her husband nodded, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey, Hayabusa, ah, you guessed right, Ichiri did something strange, um, then I'll give her the phone number, thank you for your help, no no, we are very happy that Ichiri can make a friend like you."

After he finished speaking, he took his phone and walked towards Pochi who came out of the bathroom and was about to go upstairs.

"One mile, phone."

Pochi, who was getting ready to change his clothes and race against death by cold, was stunned when he saw his father handing his own cell phone to him.

Then he took the phone with confusion, but when he put it to his ear, he didn't know what to say.

Ishikawa Hayabusa's voice rang out from the phone.

Ishikawa Hayabusa: "Pochi, I'm Ishikawa Hayabusa, what are you doing?"

Hearing the voice coming from the phone and the crisp question, Pochi's eyes widened.

"Ah..."

She looked at her father in confusion, then at the bathtub where she had already put ice cubes. Her mouth opened and closed, but she was completely speechless.

She never expected that her father would actually tell Hayabusa about her.

When did their relationship become so good!

Is this the real strength?

After a while, there was no response from Pochi on the other end of the phone.

Ishikawa Hayabusa: "I won't use my uncle's phone. Pochi, please use your phone."

Pochi: "Ah...Okay."

After the phone was hung up, Pochi stiffly returned the phone to his father, and then walked up the stairs step by step with a depressed look as if he was going to the execution ground.

And seeing parents like Pochi smile.

...

Time goes back to an hour ago, when Pochi hadn't returned home yet.
