Social phobia and lonely rock

No! Stop it!

"It's...what's going on."

Goto Ichiri once again showed a look of devastation, but Ishikawa Hayabusa could vaguely see from her face that she was asking him not to look like that.

Ishikawa Hayabusa realized that he seemed to have made the other party too nervous, and he restrained his teasing attitude.

"Actually, I saw Goto-san with his guitar yesterday... My current band happens to be short of a guitarist, would you like to come, Goto-san? All the others are girls except me."

Band...Band!

Goto Ichiri raised her head. Someone was actually willing to invite her! ?

Is this not a dream?

She secretly glanced at Ishikawa Hayabusa, then looked away.

He seemed like a good person, so I agreed even though I was a little scared....

"Let me think about it."

After Goto Ichiri finished speaking, he lowered his head.

I want to die...

What is she talking about...

But Goto Ichiri himself understood it.

Although she wanted to join a band, it was too difficult for her to get to know other people at her current age. The thought of saying hello to a few strangers made her feel uncomfortable.

"Well, if you decide to come, come find me."

Ishikawa Hayabusa looked at Goto Ichiri, who was originally shorter than him and now had his head lowered, looking droopy and listless. He resisted the urge to touch him and finally left a word.

"Goto-san always eats here. It's a little shady, but it's pretty good. I can come here to see you in the future."

After seeing Goto Ichiri nod slightly, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled, waved casually and walked back to the classroom.

Watching the man walk away, Goto Ichiri realized one thing clearly.

It's not good to escape...

Goto Ichiri's eyes suddenly became as desperate as a dead fish.

...

At the end of the day's classes, Ishikawa Hayabusa, carrying a 35-kilogram load, was thinking about how to naturally expose himself as a pervert in front of the other members of the band.

Being a pervert is not easy.

The pervert walked towards Starry while feeling distressed.

Walking on the streets where the sun makes everything warm, the world exudes beautiful and gentle tenderness, and all the sounds around are youthful and lively. This is a wonderful time that will be unforgettable in a lifetime.

During this time, Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed that the atmosphere of communication among the students around him was even more lively than before.

As he was casually observing his surroundings, his phone rang with a Line message.

He took out his cell phone and looked at it.

It's cold.

"Will you come today?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa displayed amazing hand speed and responded like lightning.

"You can meet me at the entrance of Starry in 4 minutes and 12 seconds."

It seemed that he did not expect Ishikawa Hayabusa to respond so quickly, or perhaps he was surprised by Ishikawa Hayabusa's reply. After a few seconds, Liang replied.

"Don't worry, don't get too tired."

God, God, angel!

Ishikawa Hayabusa was moved and doubts arose in his heart. He was confused. Is Liang such a considerate person?

He walked quickly towards Starry with a head full of questions.

...

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew that he shouldn't be moved so early.

"It's time for you to repay the favor."

Liang, wearing casual clothes, carrying a bass guitar and holding a speaker, spoke to Ishikawa Hayabusa.

Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa arrived at Starry, he found that only Hongxia's sister, the store manager, was busy at the counter. The other two girls did not appear.

It was strange, because before, Ryo seemed to be urging him to come.

He placed the keyboard on the table and asked Hong Xia's sister, also known as Ichichi Xingge.

"Manager, aren't Hongxia and Liang here yet?"

Ichichi Xingge, who was busy with her work, glanced at him, seeming to dislike this man approaching her sister.

"It will be later today."

She said this without further explanation. She turned around and took a rag to clean the machine, then said something lightly.

"How's your study going?"

study?

Ishikawa Hayabusa naturally knew that Xingge would definitely not ask him about his academic performance, only about the keyboard.

As a pervert, how can I not be confident in myself?

"I'm very satisfied."

Even though he was a beginner, he did not show any humility at all and spoke proudly.

Ichichi Xingge was stunned by the answer, then turned around with a strange smile and said with a hint of mockery.

"Oh? Then show me."

Ishikawa Hayabusa took a breath and straightened his chest.

This is what I've been waiting for!

No, it’s just one person, it’s not enough to shock the whole audience.

He can no longer act cool and enjoy other people's dumbfounded expressions.

But Ishikawa Hayabusa would definitely not back down here and let Ijichi Hoshige look down on him. Even if there was no one around, he would still pull Plankton over to listen to his performance.

"Then I'm sorry to ask you to borrow my place."

Instead, he greeted politely, then untied the keyboard bag, held the keyboard, and climbed onto the stage.

Ijichi Hoshika quickly went to turn on the power of the store's stage, and deliberately didn't remind him to go up from the backstage.

After finishing all the equipment on the stage, she sat on a chair, resting her hands on the table, supporting her face, and watched from a distance Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was running around on the stage with his head covered.

"The backup amplifier is the one on the left. Yes, just plug it in."

After all the trouble, Ishikawa Hayabusa showed that he had no idea what to do in front of others, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Still with a calm expression, he said to Ichichi Xingge.

"Next, I'm going to play a piano piece. I spent some time practicing it yesterday. It's my best performance so far. Please listen to 'The Street Where the Wind Lives'."

Ijichi Xingge nodded indifferently. She was curious about how well a beginner could play, and when that proud look would be broken.

Seeing the only audience member nodding, Ishikawa Hayabusa closed his eyes and adjusted his mentality, then gently placed his slender fingers on the keyboard. The keyboard, whose tone had been adjusted early on, emitted the clear sound of a piano.

The sound of the breeze came from the loudspeaker and floated in the black rock atmosphere of the livehouse.

This song was one that Ishikawa Hayabusa liked very much in the past. He had listened to it countless times, so as soon as he learned how to play it, he played it without hesitation.

Although the playing was not smooth and the keyboard fell down several times during its walk, it did not care at all and did not look back, but continued to move forward on its own.

Ishikawa Hayabusa did not show any hesitation, worry, or any other emotions because of any mistakes. Instead, he looked quite calm, as if this was the way the song was going to be played.

Offstage, Ichichi Hoshige sat up straight and seriously.

Music can convey emotions, and on-the-spot performance can show part of the performer's emotions and thoughts.

Even if the performance is a little stumbling.

At first, she was surprised to hear the performance.

After all, even at this level, it would take a month or two to practice, but she then thought that this person had a sister who played the piano, and perhaps the musical atmosphere at home was excellent, so she just ignored it.

But later, she noticed that this person played with great determination and did not hesitate even when he made mistakes.

That kind of determination didn't seem to be the result of long-term performance, but rather a result of inner firmness and strength.

This person is abnormally strong inside!

...

After playing, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and saluted, then unplugged the loudspeaker before Ijichi Hoshika could stop him.

"and many more!"

"Ah?" Ishikawa Hayate didn't stop and pulled out the plug in a daze.

Bang! !

A thunderous sound exploded in front of Ishikawa Hayabusa.

When Ijichi Hongxia arrived, what she saw was Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was sitting at a table in the backstage of Starry, covering his ears with a look of misfortune on his face, and his sister, who was behind the counter with wavy corners of her mouth, trying to hold back a smile.

What happened to these two people?

But Hongxia didn't care much and went up to say hello with a smile.

"Hayabusa, are you ready?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa, whose ears were still buzzing, raised his head and looked at the two people who had changed into private clothes with a puzzled look on his face.

"what?"

Hongxia was stunned for a moment when she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa's confusion, and turned to look at Liang behind her, but Liang walked past her with a calm expression and placed the loudspeaker in his hand in front of Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"It's time for you to repay the favor."

Ishikawa Hayabusa: ???

Seeing Ishikawa Hayabusa's completely confused look and Liang's disgruntled expression, Hongxia roughly guessed what had happened.

I also understood why Liang took the initiative to notify Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Hayabusa-kun, let me see the message Ryo just sent."

Ishikawa Hayabusa cooperated and took out his cell phone, but Ryo held his hand with a serious expression.

"No."

When he heard Liang say this and saw the loudspeaker on the ground, he immediately understood the situation.

Well, he was treated as a coolie, and was lured into the house.

Hongxia looked at Liang with narrowed eyes and a fierce expression, but Liang was not afraid at all. Finally, she lowered her head, obviously unable to do anything to Liang.

She didn't say much to Liang, and seeing that Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't understand the situation, she quickly explained it to him.

"Today I plan to let Hayabusa-kun come and see our performance and what the band does, so Ryo and I are going to have a street performance. Hayabusa-kun, come and see it."

"Falcon will come and get the luggage," Liang added.

"Let me get it myself!"

Hong Xia would not let Liang get away with it, so she hurried forward, picked up the loudspeaker, and angrily stuffed it back into Liang's hand.

It was actually a performance specially performed for him.

Hongxia wife!!!
