Social phobia and lonely rock

Pochi asked after a slight jolt.

"Falcon, if I grow up, can you accept my confession?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa's voice floated from the front.

"Of course, but let me first state that I will most likely start a harem."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Falcon is by my side."

Pochi pressed himself against Ishikawa Hayabusa's back, put his arms around his waist, and looked very happy.

After getting his affirmation, Pochi finally had nothing to worry about.

But after a while, Pochi suddenly felt that Ishikawa Hayabusa's body was a little tense, Ishikawa Hayabusa said.

"Pochi, don't let your soul get thrown out this time."

Boqi was startled and leaned her head to the side. She saw a traffic policeman leaning against a motorcycle not far ahead, looking at the two of them with a calm expression.

...

Namikaze Jihuo traveled on this road for a full 30 days, 30 days.

Do you know how he spent these 30 days?

Rain or shine!

Just to avenge his previous humiliation, he even secretly installed nitrogen gas on his car to accelerate, just to catch the couple and teach them a lesson.

This day, he finally waited for.

He took a deep puff of the cigarette in his mouth, picked it up with his hand, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out.

He turned around and quickly got on the motorcycle.

He did not try to stop them by shouting, because he knew that a real man would not stop because of a word or two from others.

Turn the key, squeeze the clutch, step on the gear, step on the gas, and release the clutch.

The motorcycle roared in response.

...

Ishikawa Hayabusa waited for Pochi's answer.

Although Pochi had hugged him tightly and even felt something incredibly soft pressing against his back, he was not in a hurry.

If you can get rid of it once, you can get rid of it a second time.

Soon, Pochi's panicked but happy voice came from behind.

"It's okay... It's okay, Falcon, please go full speed ahead, come on..."

Hearing Pochi's happy words, Ishikawa Hayabusa suddenly felt that she was not so obedient.

"come on?"

His words seemed to scare Pochi. Pochi hesitated and then spoke slowly.

"So... slowly?"

"No, I just want to hear Pochi cheer me on."

"Falcon...Come on, get rid of him!"

"Good, louder."

"Falcon, hurry up!"

Pochi also seemed to be excited, and deliberately pronounced the "haya" in Falcon's name and the "haya" in "Kuai" with emphasis.

Ishikawa Hayabusa shouted excitedly when he heard Pochi's cheerful cry.

"A new page will be turned in the history of Ishikawa Hayabusa's perversion! Ola!"

Just one second.

Click, rustle.

The bicycle did not speed up under Ishikawa Hayabusa's pedaling, but instead slowed down.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa heard the sound under his feet, he broke out in a cold sweat.

That was obviously the sound of the chain breaking.

The excited Pochi froze.

The traffic policeman approached quickly with sirens blaring, and stopped in front of the two men. He got out of the car, leaned against the motorcycle with his arms around his chest and looked at the two men.

...

The two were criticized severely.

Of course, Ishikawa Hayabusa always kept Pochi protected behind him, and the traffic police didn't pay any attention to his little action.

Finally, he let the two go after he wrote down the ticket and promised not to do it again next time.

Pochi hung his head, his face full of guilt.

It was all her fault for urging Ishikawa Hayabusa to speed up.

But when she noticed Ishikawa Hayabusa's expression, she found that he was smiling and didn't care at all about being criticized and fined.

Puzzled, Pochi looked at his face and thought for a while.

Finally asked "Falcon, you..."

Ishikawa Hayabusa glanced at her, immediately understood her confusion, and explained.

"I'm very happy. I saw Pochi's cheerful side."

Pochi's heart moved and she immediately lowered her head. She touched the back of Ishikawa Hayabusa's hand with the back of her hand, but as soon as she touched it, Ishikawa Hayabusa grabbed her hand.

Being held by Ishikawa Hayabusa's thick hands, his slightly higher temperature was transmitted from him at once, making Pochi feel warm all over.

She wanted to answer Ishikawa Hayabusa and say, "I will recognize myself and have the courage," but when she thought about her own situation, she became unsure.

It was just as Falcon said, he was the only one left in her heart now, and everything else seemed to be gradually becoming unimportant.

Targets other than falcons...

Pochi looked at the azure sea that contrasted with the blue sky.

78. Common

After having lunch with Falcon, I gathered at STARRY with my guitar.

After the final rehearsal before the audition, the five people looked at each other with satisfaction, nodded in unison, and walked outside.

On the stage, in order to simulate the effect during a performance, the lights are ready, and the light shining diagonally from the back of the stage illuminates the stage brightly.

Xingge and Pasang were already sitting in their seats waiting in the audience.

Under Xingge's calm gaze, they nervously made the final adjustments.

After tidying up the audio cable, Pochi stood still.

She had been wondering since morning what it was that she craved.

Under the lights of the stage, her memory kept going back to the past, and she gradually recalled the original purpose of her picking up the guitar.

In the past, she saw a band member on TV who looked gloomy and lazy, and he said that gloomy people can also shine in the band.

Inspired by him, wanting friends, wanting to shine, wanting to make a difference, she picked up a guitar.

It has been more than 3 years since then.

Pochi took a deep breath with a slight movement.

The rehearsal just now was so tense, but looking at Kita, Nijika, Ryo, and Hayabusa, their joy during the rehearsal and their happiness after completing it, and then seeing how nervous they are now.

Everybody cares about the band.

If Falcon hadn't reminded her, she would have almost ignored it.

My friend, Shining, she is already so close to her goal, it seems like there is no next goal.

Moreover, with the presence of Falcon, she is now in the happiest state.

Unexpectedly, she felt unusually calm at the moment, as if she could observe and notice every little thing around her.

Behind her, Hong Xia nervously began to announce, "We are the closing band."

"Next, let's start playing Guitar, Loneliness and the Blue Planet."

After turning around and exchanging glances with a few people, Pochi looked forward, at the feedback speakers on the stage. The black shell of the speakers revealed a little bit of unevenness under the light.

After having it, it’s all about keeping it, keeping everything she has, and then slowly increasing it.

She wanted to just continue like this, with everyone.

She would definitely pass the audition as long as Falcon was there, but that was no reason for her to escape. In order to keep it, she had to muster up the courage.

Have the courage to change in order to protect the present!

The cymbals behind her sounded like a reminder, waking up Pochi, but she did not panic. She calmly raised her hand holding the guitar neck and the pick and plucked the guitar.

The sounds of the five-member band methodically joined the music that was already galloping at full speed from the beginning.

But within a few seconds, everyone in the venue felt something was wrong.

There was nothing wrong with the performance, and it even played quite well, but...

Xingge and PA-san perked up a little in surprise and looked towards the stage.

Although Pochi had played well before, this time was completely different from before. The guitar sound that seeped out like a song made people feel so beautiful that their pores were tingling for a moment.

For the first time, she demonstrated her own unique playing habits and techniques.

Kita was startled and looked at Pochi next to him, almost failing to sing along with the beat.

It was Liang who noticed her absent-mindedness and hummed along with the melody.

Kita finally came to his senses and started singing.

"The sudden drizzle made me sick of not bringing an umbrella."

"What the mood of the sky is is none of my business."

“When the seasons change, what clothes should I change into?”

"Where have spring and autumn gone?"

"It's suffocating, the pressure of the information age."

"Where am I in this dizzy spiral?"

...

In the park at dusk, Pochi and Ishikawa Hayabusa were each sitting on a swing.

The surrounding buildings and trees were reflected by the setting sun, looking as bleak as a dead autumn. All things in the world were reflecting the light they had before their death. Pochi looked at the sand and gravel on the ground, lowered his head and remained silent.

A while ago, after obtaining the qualification to perform, they had a lot of fun. Later, Boqi said that he was a little tired and wanted to go home to rest.

Others also agreed and said they would come to the party again tomorrow.

Liang also wanted to work on the next song. A performance couldn't be completed with just one song, at least two more would be needed.

Their group quickly dispersed under Xingge's silly gaze.

Feeling that Pochi had something to say, Ishikawa Hayabusa took her to this park.

Sitting on the swing, Pochi held the chain with both hands, lowered her head and was silent for a long time. Ishikawa Hayabusa thought she would not speak anymore and was about to suggest going home.

Pochi moved his feet, and the sand and the soles of his shoes made a friction sound, but he pulled them back in fear, and there was another slight sound.

After struggling for a while, she spoke in a very distressed, yet calm voice, as if she didn't know what to do.

"Falcon, what exactly do I want now... I still don't understand."

"...Maybe I will never be able to understand myself and have the courage as Falcon said."
