Social phobia and lonely rock

"Then, Ryo and Kita-chan, I'll leave the cleaning up to you guys, and Pochi-chan, come with me to the bar to serve drinks to the customers."

After confirming the arrangement, she smiled with relief.

The cleaning duo had no complaints and agreed readily.

Liang: "Yeah."

Kita: “Understood.”

After Kita finished speaking, she turned to Liang beside her with a perverted smile with shining eyes. That expression always made people worry that she would do something strange.

Then Ryo took Kita to get the cleaning tools. Hongxia lowered her head again to look at Pochi under the table and said to her with a gentle smile.

"Then Pochi-chan, come over here and write down the names of the drinks."

Pochi nodded weakly in agreement, then obediently climbed out and walked towards the bar with Hongxia.

Xingge, who was sitting on the side, looked at the 'teammates' recruited by her sister. She felt tired for Hongxia.

She began to doubt whether they could really reduce the burden on her sister, or were they actually adding to it?

With such doubts, in order not to interfere with Hong Xia's teaching of the newcomers, she put away her computer and walked towards the most troublesome person in the store.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was sitting at the front desk looking towards the bar. When he saw Xingge approaching, he didn't panic at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand and greeted her cheerfully.

"Hey, store manager, that's great. Come and teach me what to do next."

Xingge, who originally had this idea, nodded.

"Ah."

51. Free

"....Tear off the secondary ticket and put it here, and give the main ticket and drink ticket to the customer..."

Xingge stood outside the front desk, supporting the table with one hand, pointing to several drawers under the table, and explaining to Ishikawa Hayabusa how to organize each item.

Different from his lazy and taciturn appearance, Xingge is serious when teaching people.

But after she talked for a while, she found that Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was sitting at the front desk, was not paying attention to this. He tilted his head as if listening to something nearby.

Xingge stood up straight and turned around to look. At the bar next to her, her sister was teaching the pink-haired girl in the band the location of the drinks.

Xingge, who thought that Ishikawa Hayabusa had some improper thoughts about her sister, raised her voice and asked Ishikawa Hayabusa in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Yes, I listened to everything the manager said."

Facing her questioning, Ishikawa Hayabusa answered seriously and slowly.

Xingge couldn't do anything about his straightforward and sincere look, so she crossed her arms and asked him as if she was looking for trouble.

"So what were you thinking about just now?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa listened to the sounds coming from the bar next to him.

Hongxia's panicked cry of "Hey hey hey, where did you get it from?" came from the other side.

Guessing the situation over there, he smiled knowingly and continued to speak to Xingge.

"Think of Pochi."

After hearing this nickname, Xingge, who occasionally eavesdropped around the others, knew who he was talking about.

For a moment, she was choked by the boy's bold words and was speechless.

She turned to look to the side, and her attention was also attracted by Pochi's impromptu singing about the location of drinks.

She was distracted as she listened to the music, and after thinking for a while, she spoke as if talking to herself.

"You play well, at a professional level."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the girl's solo performance that day in the fruit box that shocked the whole audience.

And seeing the girl's weak appearance and strange behavior these past two days, she had forgotten how handsome the girl was back then...it seemed like she wasn't handsome at that time.

But Pochi was quickly pulled back by Hongxia, who seemed to be frightened by the sudden playing and hurriedly stopped Pochi.

Xingge looked at his sister and the girl arguing with each other. After a moment of silence, he walked over and hit his noisy sister on the top of her head with a knife.

As Hongxia held her head and cried pitifully, "Why me?", she walked back.

Looking at Xingge who had returned, Ishikawa Hayabusa, who had been listening to the noise over there, chuckled.

"She beats such a lovely sister. This elder sister is unreasonable."

Xingge completely ignored his words and changed the subject directly.

"Ishikawa, I feel like you care about Pochi-chan a lot. Do you like her?"

There was a hint of teasing in her lazy eyes, as if she had found Ishikawa Hayabusa's weakness and was trying to gain the upper hand over him in the conversation.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa did not act playful as usual. He thought seriously and answered.

"If it's a romantic relationship, then it probably won't happen for now, but..."

He listened to Hongxia's voice teaching Pochi beside him, and Pochi's whispered response, and continued.

"I agreed to help her, so I have to take responsibility."

Xingge, who was somewhat embarrassed by Ishikawa Hayabusa's blunt words, turned her eyes away from him and spoke in an unclear voice.

"It's quite unexpected that you are such a gentle person."

Ishikawa Hayabusa also retracted his gaze and inadvertently noticed the duo in charge of cleaning.

He looked at Kita and Ryo who gradually appeared in his sight.

They were mopping the floor, and Kita tilted his head and kept opening and closing his mouth, saying something, but he couldn't see Ryo's reaction.

But I guess I'll just agree with it casually.

"No, I'm not a gentle person."

Ishikawa Hayabusa answered Xingge, his voice like a heavy stone falling to the ground.

...

He completely lost the upper hand in the conversation, and after checking Ishikawa Hayabusa's familiarity with the work flow, he found that Ishikawa Hayabusa really memorized all the processes.

Xingge, feeling defeated, suddenly heard a voice that saved her from suffering.

"Hello, good morning~"

The man said good morning in a very natural tone at this evening time.

Hearing the familiar tone and voice, Xingge immediately knew who was coming.

Turning around, what appeared in Xingge's eyes was Pa-sang walking down the stairs.

She was still wearing a V-neck dress today as usual, with a loose cardigan over it that gave her a homely vibe.

She half-closed her eyes, covered her yawning mouth with one hand, and held the stairs with the other hand.

The long black hair with purple curls and dyed inside, lip studs, and ear bone clips add a bit of wildness to this lazy woman of unknown age who still retains some of the sweetness of a girl.

PA-san said with a smile as he looked at the extra people in the venue.

"It's very lively today."

"You're late again..."

Xingge was happy that she had an excuse to leave Ishikawa Hayabusa in a fair manner, but at the same time she sighed at this guy's laziness.

"Hey, there was an interesting game yesterday, and I accidentally..."

As she spoke, she looked away as if to avoid him and waved to Ishikawa Hayabusa who was sitting at the front desk.

"Ah, are you here to take charge of the front desk, young man?"

She smiled and said happily, "It will definitely attract a lot of girls. I will be busy from now on."

When Ishikawa Hayabusa heard her say that, he went along with it, leaned back in his seat, stretched out his hand and pointed a pistol at her in a casual and cool manner.

"biu~"

Following his words, PA-san cooperated by covering his chest and teasingly spoke to Xingge beside him.

"What should I do? I'm infatuated with the receptionist here."

Xingge ignored her joke and spoke in a cold voice.

"Let me go to work."

"Good~"

PA-san responded lightly and walked towards the inner field, but then started talking to Kita in the field.

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at the scene and walked out from the front desk.

He looked towards the bar next to him.

Inside the bar, Pochi stood by the counter, his eyes staring straight ahead, nodding his head continuously as if he was remembering something.

Hongxia noticed Ishikawa Hayabusa's gaze, walked out from the bar, and spoke in a very cheerful tone.

"Hayabusa-kun looks very relaxed."

"Of course, there's nothing a pervert can't do."

Ishikawa Hayabusa's words froze Hongxia, because she inexplicably felt that these words were extremely terrifying if she thought about them carefully. She looked away and smiled awkwardly twice, not daring to think further.

At this time, because Kita, who was in a hurry to do things, had almost finished them, Liang came over with a mop and stood next to Hongxia.

She said in a calm voice.

“It’s getting easier.”

"That's probably because Ryo was just being lazy and leaving everything to Kita-chan!"

Hongxia raised her voice in frustration, but then she noticed Pochi who was still trying to remember the positions of various drinks at the bar, and lowered her voice again.

Ishikawa Hayabusa listened to the noise made by this childhood sweetheart pair and smiled contentedly.

Then he looked at PA-san who started talking to Kita about skin care products and cosmetics.

Can be sudden.

He saw PA-san leaning towards Kita and sniffing her head.

"Kita smells really good."

Kita smiled and said happily.

“Thank you very much, this is…”

Ishikawa Hayabusa no longer listened to what Kita said next. He fell into silence, looking at the ground with a dejected look.

He hesitated and looked to the side.

At some point, Hong Xia, with her hair spinning wildly and a hint of fear on her face, was looking at him warily.

"Hongxia..."

Hong Xia seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and called out directly.

"No, absolutely not!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa turned his gaze to the side again, and as expected, Ryo took out his cell phone with 110 displayed on the dial interface.

Suddenly, Ishikawa Hayabusa collapsed in the corner like a deflated balloon, crying silently.

"I...I actually lost in terms of perversion, my perversion..."

At this time, Xingge also noticed the situation here. She walked over with a ferocious look, her hands on her hips.

"If you sexually harass me, my salary will be deducted!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa stood up instantly and saluted.

"I'm sorry, sir!"

Kita, who was watching this from afar, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this development.
