Social phobia and lonely rock

"As long as you ask me seriously, I can tell the truth."

Looking at him, Hong Xia hesitated for a long time and asked with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.

"So...did Ryo go on a date with you as well?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa still didn't lie. He looked at Hongxia and said.

"Although we didn't say it was a date, she and I did go out to play."

"Really, Hayabusa, you really are..."

Hong Xia didn't know what to do. She put her hands behind her back, saw the uneven spots on the concrete floor, and tapped them with her feet, but it was obvious that she could not flatten the uneven spots.

She exhaled and took a half step back. She looked up at the faint stars and spoke in a faint and lonely voice.

"What's with the harem? It doesn't seem real. Can Hayabusa make everyone happy?"

“If I start doing it, it means I have the confidence to do it.”

Hongxia's eyes met Ishikawa Hayabusa's. She looked at his handsome face and thought of his strength, which usually gave people the impression that he only showed the tip of the iceberg, and his reliable behavior.

She was a little uneasy.

"Can we stop here then?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa did not avoid her gaze, but looked at her very firmly, as if all the emotions in his heart were unfolding to her without fear.

"If I'm sure I want a harem, I'll try to get Hong Xia in."

Hong Xia looked panicked, avoided his sight, and asked in a loud voice.

"why?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa did not press on. He also looked at the sky like Hongxia.

"Because, if you are unfaithful, you must try to take in the girl you feel uneasy about and take care of her yourself."

Hongxia didn't ask him how he could take care of her, and she tried her best to put on an unpredictable smile to hide her thoughts.

"Me? Worried? What are you talking about, Hayabusa-kun?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa said to her with a smile.

"Because Hongxia likes to show off. I know that Hongxia will occasionally be impulsive and then try her best to hold on. It makes me feel uneasy to see her like that."

Hongxia pursed her lips and called out anxiously.

"gone back!"

After saying that, she walked back as if she was escaping.

77. Sea and Sky

Finally it was Saturday morning.

Sitting in the waiting seat at the station, Pochi recalled that when he was going back last night, Hongxia pulled him down to talk alone.

When asked about her dreams, she was congratulated in advance for being with Ishikawa Hayabusa, and was reminded to keep a close eye on Ishikawa Hayabusa and not let him be unfaithful.

As Pochi thought about it, he smiled happily, but quickly came back to his senses.

She definitely couldn't control Falcon, and she just simply hoped that Falcon wouldn't be too far away from her.

Confession is also for this purpose.

And...she recalled every scene she had with Ishikawa Hayabusa recently. Hayabusa was never too far from her, and would always help her when she was in trouble, but then retreat to a safe distance.

She now felt like she was making a suicidal confession, but this was also a confession that she had used up her courage throughout her life.

Don't want to delay any longer.

"Morning, Pochi."

Pochi raised his head and looked forward.

In bright, pale blue light without much warmth.

Ishikawa Hayabusa, wearing a white T-shirt with a short-sleeved shirt on top, walked down from the tram. He seemed to have seen her at first sight and raised his hand to greet her.

Pochi pulled the handle of the canvas bag onto his shoulder, stood up, and walked towards the person he liked.

Although she had thought about trying other clothes, she couldn't find anything that satisfied her taste after trying many times, and she didn't know what type of clothes Ishikawa Hayabusa liked.

Finally, when time was running out, she chose sportswear.

She had thought it through. The failure of the confession was the fault of the sportswear.

Coming out of the station, there was a familiar road that she had only been on once.

"It's been almost a month since I last came out."

"Ah, yes."

Pochi responded quickly and subconsciously. Her eyes had been on Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand. His hand swayed naturally with his steps, and he had no intention of holding hers.

She didn't know what she was feeling when she said this.

"Falcon, are you still riding a bicycle this time?"

"That's right."

Great.

"By the way, that car was really durable last time. I wonder if the boss has fixed it."

Ah, the Love of Love Special.

Pochi also felt a little excited, it would be great if he could still ride that car.

But a few minutes later.

"What, you don't want to borrow that car?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa shouted in disbelief.

"The Love Special can only be lent once, and for someone like you who doesn't value it, I will never lend it to you a second time!"

Eh...the boss's yelling cast a shadow of gloom in Pochi's heart.

"Then there are other cars."

Ishikawa Hayabusa asked again.

For some reason, Pochi wanted to hold him back and ask him to try again to talk to the boss, but he gave up in the end.

"Okay, and don't be violent like last time."

The boss sighed and walked towards the warehouse at the back.

Once raw, twice cooked.

After Ishikawa Hayabusa patted the seat, Pochi sat on the back of the bicycle. The seat was a little different from what he remembered.

This time, when the bicycle started moving forward, she deliberately did not pay attention to the force pushing her backwards, and leaned on Ishikawa Hayabusa's back like last time.

I won't be scolded by the falcon...

Pochi thought while holding Ishikawa Hayabusa's waist.

And Ishikawa Hayabusa just teased him nonchalantly.

"Pochi's body is so soft."

Feeling that he was not rejected, Pochi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and responded.

"Ah."

...

The wind was a bit strong near the sea, but Pochi felt very comfortable.

The strong wind did not feel like it was going to blow her away because she was holding someone who made her feel at ease.

Although the sun is warm, it is not very hot.

Falcon rode very fast, so fast that it felt a little cold around him.

But it doesn't matter, it's not cold behind him.

Pochi closed his eyes, listening to the sound of the cool breeze, the sound of the distant sea, and the sound of a bird chirping once or twice.

Occasionally, a small car would speed past her, making a whistling sound.

She still had no qualms.

But when he felt the bicycle starting to slow down, Ishikawa Hayabusa said something.

"Pochi, we're here."

She felt the temperature around her begin to drop.

After getting off the bicycle, the sun rested on her back. The clear summer sky and warm sunshine did not make her feel warm. Instead, her chest felt cold.

Otherwise, it’s better not to confess.

That's it.

While she was thinking this, Ishikawa Hayabusa had already parked the car in the haystack, walked over and held her hand.

"Let's go and enjoy the sunshine in the Maldives."

He was as excited as a child going on a spring outing.

Pochi followed in his footsteps.

Sitting with her legs crossed on the tarpaulin that she and Hayabusa had laid out together, Pochi looked at Hayabusa Ishikawa who was lying next to her.

He opened his hands like a naughty boy, as if wanting to soak up more sunlight.

After enjoying it for a while, he said lazily with a smile.

“Sunbathing is like grilling fish, you grill one side and then the other, and fry until both sides are golden brown.”

Hearing his joke, Pochi was confused and didn't know how to respond.

I could only respond with a soft "hmm".

She felt that her lifelong courage was disappearing and her mood became increasingly depressed.

...

Lying on the ground, looking at Pochi who was gradually becoming autistic again, Ishikawa Hayabusa sighed inwardly.

He had wanted to explain when the atmosphere was better, but it seemed that Pochi's mood wasn't going to improve.

To prevent Pochi from running away because he was afraid to listen to his story.

He took Pochi's hand and sat up under her doubtful gaze.

"Pochi, I'm really sorry for telling you so late. Let me explain now."

Pochi was so frightened that he put his hands on the ground and prepared to run away, but when he realized that his hands were caught, he lost all strength and sat back down.

Her eyes wavered and she blinked a few times, with a faint mist in them, as if she was prepared for the worst.

Now that he could relax and speak freely, Ishikawa Hayabusa did not keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.

"First of all, let me make sure, Pochi, I like you." He paused, "Although it's not to the extent of love, I do like you."

Just from hearing these words, you can already feel that Pochi is happy.

"A cute, well-behaved, and interesting girl like Pochi is probably the ideal type for many men, even though Pochi is a little weird."

"Eh..."

Pochi looked over dumbfounded. His pitiful and wailing look was very adorable, with tears in his eyes, making him look very pitiful.

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and spoke calmly.

"But I don't dare to get too close to Pochi, I don't dare to be too intimate with you, because I'm afraid that after you are with me, you will just become a pet raised by Hayabusa Ishikawa."

Pochi blinked and tried hard to wipe away the tears.

Then she looked up and met Ishikawa Hayabusa's gaze for a moment, then quickly lowered her head, her gaze seeming to linger on his chest, as if she understood what Ishikawa Hayabusa meant.
