Social phobia and lonely rock

Kita, who was used to being teased by Ishikawa Hayabusa, noticed something wrong in his words, calmed down and asked.

"Is it okay, so suddenly?"

Hongxia waved with a cheerful smile, and walked towards Xingge while speaking to Xiduo.

"It doesn't matter. She agreed to my request very straightforwardly last time."

After she finished speaking, she asked Xingge with great trust, "Right? Sister."

He was holding a notebook and thinking about the star song that the band had arranged later. At this moment, he seemed to hear Hong Xia's voice, and turned around and said in a cold voice.

"Ah? I didn't want you to go on stage."

Hearing this voice, Hong Xia froze in place.

"Eh?"

After her thinking gradually became active again, Hong Xia pursed her lips and tried to think positively.

"Why? Didn't we already make an original song?"

...

Before this, Xingge secretly listened to their conversation. She also thought that the original song was very good and was looking forward to the emotions that would be released after the song was influenced by the performer's style.

However, that is only when the performer has the ability. Otherwise, no matter how good the song is, without sufficient ability, no one will be able to listen to it.

She didn't want to see Hong Xia on the singing stage in her own store again, with that sad yet defiant look on her face.

She explained while staring at the computer while typing the band name she had decided on into the text.

"It has nothing to do with this."

The stupid sister still didn't notice the problem and continued to think about what she had missed. She took out the money that was not even warm yet and said.

"Ah, there aren't enough viewers. We'll pay for the targets that can't be met."

Xingge looked at the computer and sighed inwardly.

“It’s not about the money.”

She stopped working on the computer, turned around, looked at her reckless and clumsy sister, and gave her a wake-up call.

"It's a question of strength."

Hongxia finally reacted at this time, but still said it without giving up.

"But didn't you let us go on stage before?"

Seeing that Hongxia still refused to give up, Xingge's temper flared up a little and he said something unkind.

"That was specially allowed so that you can leave beautiful memories."

These words immediately shattered Hong Xia's hopeful heart.

Seeing her sister suddenly stiffen and look lonely, Xingge reminded her in a softer tone.

"I usually audition and review the band's sample songs, don't you know that?"

Hongxia looked away in a slightly aggrieved manner.

"That's right...

"I'm sorry, but your level is still the same as your first performance. I will not allow you to go on stage."

"You are not allowed to go on stage, so what should we do...?"

Seeing that Hong Xia still didn't understand, Xingge said rudely to dismiss her.

"Just play house with your band for the rest of your life."

...

After hearing this, Hongxia ran out angrily, and Kita, Ryo, and Pochi followed her out.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was the only one left in the store standing by the handrail. He looked at Xingge and smiled easily as if he didn't care.

"My sister is cute even though she is silly."

"What's the point of commenting on someone else's sister?"

Xingge was in a very bad mood when he realized that he had just said fire. He felt like he had eaten gunpowder when facing his "enemy".

But Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't care about her tone at all and spoke calmly.

"I will explain it clearly to Hong Xia. When is the time?"

A voice that sounded both aggrieved and relieved was heard.

"Next Saturday."

Seeing that Xingge seemed a little relieved, Ishikawa Hayabusa turned and walked up the stairs, leaving behind a meaningful word.

"I think being rejected by family members would be more painful than the sadness of a failed performance. There is a way to make everyone happy, so why not do that?"

Behind him as he walked up the stairs was Xingge's gloomy expression.

Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't rush out, but walked up the stairs slowly.

He thought to himself, they are really sisters, with the same impulse.

...

After coming out of the store, Ishikawa Hayabusa slowly asked passers-by while looking for Hongxia and the others.

When he was about to ask the next passerby, he saw three people comforting Hong Xia not far ahead.

His eyes met those of the four people.

"Yo."

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled brightly.

"Ishikawa-kun..."

Kita didn't want to make the atmosphere more awkward at this time, but he still felt a little resentful towards this guy whose condition he couldn't see clearly.

Ishikawa Hayabusa walked over, looking happy as if he had come with good news, and he said exaggeratedly.

“Just now the store manager was crying and hugging my legs and said to me.

"Please, please, Ishikawa-sama, explain to Hongxia for me. I just wanted her to pass the audition before she could go on stage. My tone was so bad before. I want to apologize to Hongxia."

Ishikawa Hayabusa said this without changing his expression, then spread his hands and sighed.

"Really, seeing her like that, there's really nothing I can do. I can only help her explain."

After he said this, he received unanimous looks of disbelief from the four girls opposite him.

Hong Xia pouted with resentment and said, "It's definitely a lie."

"Ishikawa-kun, stop joking around at this time."

Kita sighed.

"Although the process is a joke, the content is not fake. Next Saturday, the store manager will give us a chance to audition."

Ishikawa Hayabusa said this with some seriousness.

Hongxia wanted to deny it subconsciously, but when she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa's serious look and his firm words that even set a time, she realized that it was wrong.

She asked, blinking her beautiful red eyes.

"Really?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa nodded.

The cheers from the side immediately dispelled her last bit of doubt.

"Great!"

Kita exclaimed in surprise, she looked around at Ryo and Pochi beside her, and finally asked Hongxia for confirmation.

"If you pass the audition, you can perform on stage, right?"

"Yes!"

Hong Xia's mood also became high. After the excitement, she said with some dissatisfaction, "Then you should have said this from the beginning. Sister is really mean."

Kita once again entered into a workaholic mode, and spoke in a sunny voice that made the others uneasy.

“But after that, we just have to work hard.”

Only Pochi, who was used to her appearance, was infected by her emotions. He showed a rare happy look and nodded vigorously.

"Uh-huh."

"That's great." Kita breathed a sigh of relief and celebrated with Pochi.

“Finally we can perform!”

In this joy, Ishikawa Hayabusa opened his arms and closed his eyes as if ready to be hugged. He even put a "please give me a thank you hug!" on his chest without knowing when.

But after the four of them glanced at him, they all had different expressions and no one paid any attention to him.

After looking at Ishikawa Hayabusa, Hongxia turned her gaze to the two guitarists who were the most excited and the loudest at the moment.

One has good skills but is completely unable to show them, and the other has hastily learned guitar for nearly two months.

Look at how happy they are.

When she thought about the audition in a week, she suddenly understood why her sister became so strict, and instantly, cold sweat covered her lovely face.

At this time, Liang came up to her and revealed what she said in a faint voice.

"You look like these two are the ones that are most worrying."

Hongxia, whose inner thoughts were exposed, suddenly looked panicked, and her facial features almost collapsed like Pochi's.

Liang ignored her and walked over to the two guitarists and gave them serious instructions.

"Then for both of you, just play the pre-recorded audio source. All you have to do is practice your fake playing postures."

The two guitarists, without any self-respect as performers, responded at the same time.

"it is good!"

"Wait, wait, this is why the store manager will reject you." Ishikawa Hayabusa stepped forward to stop him.

Hongxia also agreed with Ishikawa Hayabusa's idea.

"Yes, my sister is quite strict."

Liang looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa, and his opposition faded significantly, but he still expressed his stance.

"There's only one week left, no need to push too hard."

Hongxia didn't intend to let them practice too hard, but instead "encouraged" them.

“Even if you play badly, as long as you play hard and convey your passion, that’s all.”

When Pochi and Kita heard Hongxia's first words, they shrugged their shoulders in dumbfoundedness.

"It's a bad play..."

"Pfft." Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled with his head down.

Liang looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa and Hongxia speechlessly.

Hongxia suddenly panicked.

"Ah, sorry, but you guys are better than you were at the beginning, right Ryo."

She quickly sought off-field assistance.

But Liang raised his head as if pretending to be thoughtful.

Hongxia hurriedly looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa beside her.

This guy hugged his chest and sighed heavily.

"Please help me out."

Hong Xia yelled angrily at the two pillars of the band.

While Hongxia was wailing, Pochi squatted down silently and crawled into the cement pipe next to him.
