Social phobia and lonely rock!

After finally finishing his self-introduction, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled in relief.

"By the way, did I disturb Goto-san's meal? Sorry for scaring you."

Goto Hitori felt sad and wanted to nod. At that moment, she felt an discomfort in her stomach from being too nervous, but she still replied with a thin voice like a mosquito.

"No, there isn't."

She said this, but she had already decided in her heart that she would never return to that place and would go to another safe place.

"That's good. I actually came here on purpose to look for Goto-san. It took me quite a while."

Hearing that cheerful and sunny voice, Goto Hitori did not feel relaxed, but panicked.

Did you come to see me especially!!!?

Suddenly, she felt that the green dots belonging to the school's security centers were continuously disappearing.

No! Stop it!

"That's... what's going on."

Goto Hitori once again showed an expression of devastation, but Ishikawa Hayabusa could vaguely see from her face that she was asking him not to be like that.

Ishikawa Hayabusa realized that he seemed to have made the other party very nervous and restrained his provocative attitude.

"Actually, I saw Goto-san with the guitar yesterday... It turns out that my current band is without a guitarist. Would you like to come, Goto-san? Everyone else is a girl except me."

Band...Band!

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

Isn't this a dream?

She secretly glanced at Ishikawa Hayabusa and then looked away.

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

"Let me think about it."

After Goto Hitori finished speaking, he lowered his head.

I want to die...

What is she talking about...

But Goto Hitori himself understood this.

Although she wanted to join a band, it was very difficult for her to meet other people her age. The idea of greeting some strangers made her uncomfortable.

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

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

"Goto-san always eats here. It's a little suspicious, but it's really good.

I may come here to see you in the future."

After seeing Goto Hitori nod lightly, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled, waved casually, and returned to the classroom.

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

It's not good to escape...

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

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

Being a pervert is not easy.

The pervert walked towards Starry feeling distressed.

Walking through the streets where the sun warms everything, the world exudes a beautiful and soft tenderness, and all the sounds around are young and vibrant.

This is a wonderful moment that will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

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

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

He took out his cell phone and looked at it.

It's cold.

"Are you coming today?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa demonstrated incredible hand speed and responded like lightning.

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

It seemed like he didn't expect Ishikawa Hayabusa to respond so quickly, or perhaps he was surprised by Ishikawa Hayabusa's response. After a few seconds, Ryo responded.

"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 Ryo such a considerate person?

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

Ishikawa Hayabusa knew he shouldn't be transferred so soon.

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

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

Time goes back ten minutes.

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

It was strange, because before Ryo seemed to be insisting that he come.

He placed the keyboard on the table and asked Nijika's sister, also known as Ijichi Seika.

"Manager, haven't Nijika and Ryo arrived yet?"

Ijichi Seika, who was busy with her work, looked at him, seeming to dislike this man approaching her sister.

"It will be later today."

She said this without further explanation. She turned around, picked up a cloth to clean the machine, and said something nonchalantly.

"How are your studies going?"

to study?

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

As a pervert, how can I not have confidence in myself?

"I'm very pleased."

Although he was a beginner, he did not show any humility and spoke with pride.

Ijichi Seika was stunned by this answer, then he turned around with a strange smile and said with a hint of mockery.

"Oh? Then show me."

Ishikawa Hayabusa took a deep breath and straightened his chest.

This is what I was waiting for!

No, it's just one person, it's not enough to shock the entire audience.

He can no longer act naturally and enjoy other people's expressions of astonishment.

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

"Then I regret to ask you to lend me my seat."

Instead, he greeted politely, untied his keyboard bag, picked up the keyboard, and walked onto the stage.

ljichi Seika quickly went to turn on the power to the store's stage and deliberately didn't remind him to come up from backstage.

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

"The spare amp 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 Ijichi Seika.

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

ljichi Seika nodded indifferently. She was curious to know how well a beginner would play and when that proud look would disappear.

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

The sound of the breeze came from the speaker and floated in the black rock atmosphere of the concert hall.

Ishikawa Hayabusa liked this song very much in the past. He had heard it countless times, so as soon as he learned how to play it, he played it without hesitation.

Although the execution was not smooth and the keyboard had fallen several times during his walk, he did not care at all and did not look back, continuing to walk alone.

Ishikawa Hayabusa showed no hesitation, worry, or any other emotion because of the mistakes. Instead, he seemed quite calm, as if this was how the song would be played.

Offstage, Ijichi Seika sat straight and serious.

Music can convey emotions, and live performance can show part of the artist's emotions and thoughts.

Even if the performance is a bit hesitant.

At first, she was surprised to hear the presentation.

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

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

This kind of determination did not seem to be the result of long-term performance, but rather the result of steadfastness and inner strength.

This person is abnormally strong inside!

After playing, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled and saluted, then turned off the speaker before Ijichi Seika could stop him.

"and many more!"

"Ah?" Ishikawa Hayate didn't stop and turned off the device in a daze.

Bang!!

A thunderous sound exploded in front of Ishikawa Hayabusa.

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

What happened to these two people?

But Nijika didn't care much and walked over to greet him with a smile.

"Hayabusa, are you ready?"

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

"what?"

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

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

Ishikawa Hayabusa:???

Seeing Ishikawa Hayabusa's completely confused look and Ryo's displeased expression, Nijika wondered what had happened.

I also understood why Ryo 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 Ryo say this and saw the speaker on the ground, he immediately understood the situation.

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

Nijika stared at Ryo with narrowed eyes and a fierce expression, but Ryo did not show any fear. Finally, she lowered her head, obviously unable to do anything to Ryo.

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

"Today I plan to let Hayabusa-kun come see our performance and what the band does, so Ryo and I will perform on the street. Hayabusa-kun, come see."

"Falcon will come to pick up the luggage," Ryo added.

"Let me get it myself!"

Nijika didn't let Ryo get away with it, so she rushed over, grabbed the speaker, and angrily put it back into Ryo's hand.

In fact, it was a presentation made especially for him.

Wife Nijika!!!

Ishikawa Hayabusa instantly stood up, and his entire body became as strong as an iron tower.

"Ishikawa Hayabusa, maximum load capacity 73.2 kg, can move for 156 minutes with maximum load, report says."

"Very good." Ryo nodded in satisfaction and gave a thumbs up.

"Don't let her do what she wants, Hayabusa!"

Nijika was almost crying and screaming, but when she saw that Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't react, she turned around and shouted to Ryo beside her.

"Ryo, stop it!"

She cried and grabbed Ryo's shoulders and shook him madly.

Ryo swayed with her with a smug smile.

Only Ijichi Seika, who was not far away, was staring dumbly at Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was standing beside the two.

Humanity?
