Social phobia and lonely rock

"But... I want to contribute to everyone's dreams, Nijigasaki's dreams, Kita's dreams, Ryo's dreams, and Hayabusa's goals."

She didn't speak very loudly, but it seemed as if she was using all her strength. Even the swing was shaking slightly, making a sound of metallic friction.

She continued dejectedly, "I don't know what will happen next. If...if Falcon can really raise me..."

"People like me..."

"Pochi plays guitar very well, has a great body, and is a very cute person."

Ishikawa Hayabusa added, affirming her.

As if to confirm whether Ishikawa Hayabusa was comforting her, Pochi looked up at him.

In the sunset, there was a golden glow in his eyes, like the last bit of hope in the silent world.

Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed her gaze, looked at her uneasy expression, and extended his hand.

"Would you like to try a bone conduction lie detector?"

Pochi looked at the hand that Ishikawa Hayabusa extended, hesitated, and stretched out her hand. She hesitated for a long time before carefully clasping his fingers with her palm.

"Can you feel anything?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa asked.

Pochi shook his head, with a hint of relief and joy in his confusion.

"Can't feel it."

Ishikawa Hayabusa did not let go of his hand and said with a smile.

"That means I didn't lie." He also held Pochi's hand tightly. "Supporting other people's dreams can also be considered a goal, but that is the most painful goal. Have you decided?"

Pochi thought for a moment, then raised her eyes again. She did not avoid his gaze, but her eyes were very calm, as if her heart was open.

she spoke.

"I want to move forward with everyone in the band. I want to grow a little bit more. Even if it's hard... I will try my best to hold on!"

Seeing Pochi's firm belief, Ishikawa Hayabusa said nothing more. He let go of Pochi's hand, swung on the swing for a while, and suddenly stopped.

"Oh, Ichiri, I thought about the degree of closeness before..."

He felt like Pochi had made progress and thought he could get closer to her, but he was worried that it was an illusion, so he asked hesitantly.

"How about we rent a house together in Shimokitazawa next semester?"

Because his turn was too fast, Pochi didn't react and looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa blankly.

Renting a house...

Together...?

Living together! ?

Pochi widened his eyes, blinked stupidly, and then spoke hastily as if he was afraid that Ishikawa Hayabusa would go back on his word.

"Coco, yes!"

Ishikawa Hayabusa stood up, walked in front of her, and flicked her head with his finger.

"Think about it carefully, don't rush to agree."

As his voice fell, the surrounding lights lit up, and the warm street lights and the cold white lamp posts in the park began to guard the night in advance.

...

In the evening, Pochi returned home.

Hearing the door open, her father and mother came out.

But when she saw Pochi was alone, her mother smiled and said, "Yili, welcome back."

Father: "How was your audition today? Did you pass?"

Looking at the expressions of her parents, Pochi realized that it was not her they wanted to see, and said with her head down pitifully.

"Yes, passed."

"Great."

After saying this without any perfunctory tone, the two turned around and went back to the hall.

She also knew that her parents liked Falcon very much, and they liked this prospective son-in-law very much, but this differential treatment was too much.

She changed into her slippers and walked into the house.

Erli ran over with Jimmyhen and glanced at Bochi.

"My sister's boyfriend didn't come. It's so boring~"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

They only met once in the morning, did Erli betray her too! ?

...

In the morning, when Pochi and Ishikawa Hayabusa came back from the suburbs to get the piano.

Pochi goes home to say hello.

"I am back."

As soon as Ishikawa Hayabusa entered the door, he looked at the shoes and noticed that the Pochi family seemed to be there, so he greeted them.

"Excuse me~"

The one who reacted the fastest was the youngest girl in the family.

A cheerful little girl with short hair and the same aho-manga-like hair on both sides ran out of the house. She looked at Ishikawa Hayabusa curiously and said, "She is a little naughty."

"My sister's boyfriend?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa squatted down, but even when he squatted down, he was still much taller than the little loli.

He looked at the delicate and pretty girl in front of him and spoke softly.

"Not yet, you are Ichiri's sister?"

"Well, nice to meet you. I'm Goto Jiri."

Completely different from Pochi, Erli was not afraid of strangers at all and bowed naturally.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Ishikawa Hayabusa."

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and slightly bent his back to cooperate with her.

Looking at Ishikawa Hayabusa, Erli seemed not unfamiliar at all. She raised her head slightly and curiously compared her head with the head of Ishikawa Hayabusa who was squatting down.

"Brother Falcon is so tall, taller than dad."

"Oh?" Ishikawa Hayabusa saw her purpose and cooperated with her with a strange expression.

"Want to lift it up?"

"I want it, I want it!" Erli jumped happily.

When Ishikawa Hayabusa lifted Erli up high and Erli laughed very happily.

Pochi was stunned watching from the side.

Surprisingly, he became so familiar with Falcon within less than a minute of meeting her, and even seemed closer to her than her.

It seemed as if she had no room to interrupt between the two of them.

Just like even if she disappeared now everything could go on as usual.

No, no, no, don't!

Her presence, her presence is about to disappear!

After Ishikawa Hayabusa put Erli down, he immediately noticed the situation on Pochi's side.

And Erli looked at her strange sister and explained.

"Sister has a weird expression on her face again."

At this time, Pochi's parents also came out from the hall.

"Erli~"

Pochi's mother called her little daughter's name in a low voice with a teaching tone, obviously helpless about her overly familiar and impolite behavior.

But when they walked out, they saw their eldest daughter squatting in the corner of the entrance with a strange expression on her face. After being touched on the head by Ishikawa Hayabusa, she quickly returned to her normal appearance with a shy look.

The two of them smiled knowingly.

But Pochi's father still showed a little helplessness.

Ishikawa Hayabusa noticed that Pochi's parents had arrived and bowed seriously.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, I am here with Pochi to get the guitar again."

"Don't be polite, Hayabusa-kun. Just treat it as your own home."

Pochi's mother spoke, and Pochi's father was about to say something, but she put her elbow on his waist and he took back all his words.

And Pochi seemed to be afraid that Ishikawa Hayabusa would be snatched away by her family, and she was trembling with fear among her family. She pulled Ishikawa Hayabusa's arm and said.

"Hawaii, come up too."

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled helplessly at her parents, then followed Pochi upstairs.

Erli looked at the two people walking upstairs, then looked at her parents, and after a while asked in great confusion.

"Is it okay for Falcon to go to my sister's room? Aren't there pictures of Falcon all over the ceiling of the room?"

"Eh?"

Pochi's parents turned around and looked at their little daughter in a daze. After they realized what was happening, cold sweat kept flowing down their frozen smiling faces.

...

On the other side, Pochi had already brought Ishikawa Hayabusa to the door of her room on the second floor.

Pochi's house is a very classic single-family house, which retains many traditional features in a modern architectural style. Even her door is a shoji door.

Standing at the door, Ishikawa Hayabusa was a little curious about how Pochi filmed and recorded her videos on YTB.

After all, from the video, it can be heard that she is very professional and must have a lot of professional equipment. He began to be curious about her room.

Amid the sound of hurried footsteps downstairs, Pochi opened the shoji door without thinking and said with his head lowered.

"Please come in."

Just as Ishikawa Hayabusa was about to step in and his eyes rested inside, a powerful gravitational force drew his attention upwards.

Looking up, he saw the roof covered with his face split infinitely, and he was stunned.

Pochi watched as Ishikawa Hayabusa suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked up. She also looked up in confusion.

She also immediately discovered the problem.

"what..."

Pochi had a look of despair.

She also has common sense. Normally, this kind of "photo wall" should not be seen by others.

But because she had long been accustomed to the scenery in the room, she ignored this point and actually invited Falcon into her room under such circumstances.

What should I do? Is it the end?

Pochi's parents, who ran up from downstairs, looked at the scene and felt desperate because of their late arrival.

But soon, Ishikawa Hayabusa came back to his senses, touched his chin thoughtfully, and said to Pochi.

"I'm not mistaken, Pochi. You have the potential to be a pervert. But don't you feel depressed with your head like this?"

He said, and walked in calmly.

And Pochi floated in behind him as if it was broken, closing the door behind him.
