Social phobia and lonely rock!

Inside the venue, three women stared at Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was wearing all his gear, with a speaker in his hand, two drum boxes in his hand, his keyboard slung over his shoulders, and even Ryo's bass on his back.

He was like King Kong wearing armor, looking forward with a firm gaze.

"Come on!"

Nijika was puzzled and turned around to stop him.

"That's not right! Why did you carry this alone, Hayabusa?"

She had always been used to taking care of others, but when she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa like that, for a moment she felt that something was wrong.

After Nijika spoke, Ryo tiptoed out and stealthily left Starry downstairs.

"The world is kind to me, and I am kind to the world!"

And Ishikawa Hayabusa also followed, shouting some incomprehensible slogans.

The place where they planned to hold the street concert was not far away. After all, there was no specific goal or demand, so they found a location with convenient transportation so that the new band members could feel the atmosphere.

Street performances are quite common in Japan, and there will be no problems as long as you perform at designated locations and times.

Of course, there are also people who do not follow the rules and act recklessly.

We won't mention that for now.

that street

"Let me get it."

Nijika looked worriedly at Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was carrying a lot of things. She always felt that he was trying to show off. He was carrying so much stuff that it was as if he was wearing armor.

It looks majestic and scary, but it also makes people worried.

"It's okay, I can still take more."

Ishikawa Hayabusa resisted the urge to show off his abnormal energy and replied casually.

Seeing that he was unable to persuade Ishikawa Hayabusa, Nijika looked at that handsome yet strange man with a somewhat helpless smile.

"Falcon-kun will be bullied by Ryo if you do that."

"it won't."

Ishikawa Hayabusa's voice was extremely firm, and his affirmative tone left no room for doubt.

Nijika had no choice but to move a little closer to him.

Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was carrying several musical instruments, knew very well that Nijika was not in love with him at this moment. She was just worried that he would not be able to handle the situation, so she wanted to get closer to avoid any accidents.

However, having a cheerful and kind girl by your side and smelling a beautiful and seductive perfume at the same time always makes your heart beat faster.

For a moment, he had the idea of continuing to pretend to be an ordinary person, but that was only for a moment.

Even if the path of perversion is lonely, he will continue to walk it.

As she thought of this, Ryo, who had just disappeared, quickly caught up with her. She had three cans of drinks in her hand. As she walked over, she handed one to Nijika.

Then he turned to Ishikawa Hayabusa, who was standing between the two of them.

"let's go."

As she spoke, she put the drink into Ishikawa Hayabusa's pocket without changing her expression at all.

Sorry, I suspect you're an idiot.

Hearing Ryo opening the drink with a snap, Ishikawa Hayabusa silently apologized in his heart, as he wondered if this would happen today, if this opportunity would arise.

Laughing with friends and looking for interesting things on the busy streets, Kita Ikuyo wandered aimlessly, but thought of something in her heart.

Last night, she followed Ryo's footsteps as usual and went to Starry, where she heard Ryo and his friends talking about the lack of a guitarist.

I would like to make it clear that Ikuyo Kita did not hear the conversation. She was less than 4 meters away from the seats where they were talking and happened to hear the conversation by pricking up her ears.

We met here by chance and saw Senior Ryo coming a few times. So, I came here every day to look for him.

Kita Ikuyo feels that it is very normal.

But the important thing is the band!

If I join the band, I will be able to get closer to Senior Ryo.

"Kita-san...your expression became strange."

Her friends' reminder brought Kita back to her senses. She blushed and quickly gestured to deny it.

"It's not a lie."

"Hey, I have a boyfriend."

Another friend appeared with a mischievous smile.

Kita Ikuyo was entangled and couldn't do anything. She smiled and said, "I'm not your boyfriend..."

The two people beside her stared at her with provocative gazes, obviously not believing her.

"No way!"

Kita Ikuyo had no choice but to say half-heartedly, "He's a senior I admire."

As he spoke, his eyes caught sight of Senior Ryo, who was walking through the crowd with a drink in her hand. There seemed to be a tall instrument-transporting robot walking beside her.

Let's not worry about transport robots for now.

Ryo-senpai! Musical instruments! So much equipment!

Live on the street!

Without hesitation, she left her two friends behind and began her righteous pursuit.

"Tamako, Rui, I have something to do, see you tomorrow~"

She waved her hand and walked away without saying a word.

"No, Kita-san?"

The two of them looked at Kita Ikuyo in surprise after she suddenly left. They blinked in confusion, but suddenly thought of something and smiled mischievously.

After school, and still some time before dinner time, the setting sun casts its brightest light upon the road, while the students coming and going make the sunlight as vibrant as the morning sun.

But for Kita Ikuyo, who wanted to find someone, the students coming and going made her search much more difficult.

After nearly losing them several times, Kita Ikuyo saw the three people standing in an open space near the station.

Veteran Ryo was there. She took the bass from the man who had his back to her and placed it on her back, while the man put down the speaker and other instruments.

Veteran Ryo's friend opened the boxes, took out the drums and began to assemble them.

The man also went up to help.

Kita Ikuyo thought the man was just helping to carry the musical instruments, but when she saw them communicating, she realized that this did not seem to be the case; they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

Feeling of crisis!

Could it be that he approached Senior Ryo with the same idea as me?

How abominable!

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists.

Then she saw the man take an electronic keyboard out of the long bag he was carrying.

really!!

He must have aimed at Senior Ryo!

But after taking it out, she was stopped by Senior Ryo and his friends.

However, Kita Ikuyo no longer cared about the situation here. She walked to the side, ready to take a look at the man's appearance and observe the atmosphere between them closely.

As Kita Ikuyo approached, she realized that for some reason, the man seemed to have his back to her from the beginning, and she had never seen his true face.

But she would listen anyway, so it was absolutely normal for a listener to approach.

Only when she was about 5, 6 or 7 meters away from them did the man put away the electronic keyboard, walked to the side and placed it on the floor.

At that moment, Kita Ikuyo finally saw the man's face.

"abnormal!?"

As she was very surprised and unbelievable, and because the pervert was completely different from the one she had imagined, Kita Ikuyo screamed.

To be honest, Ishikawa Hayabusa didn't expect to actually hook Kita Ikuyo. He figured he'd find a talkative colleague, but it was good.

At this moment, Ryo and Nijika looked at the girl who suddenly pointed at Ishikawa Hayabusa and called him a pervert, confused.

She and Ishikawa Hayabusa wear the same school uniform. Do they study in the same class?

So, did Ishikawa Hayabusa do something, or is he really a pervert!?

Although the two of them could feel that Ishikawa Hayabusa was a good person, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Um, Hayabusa, who is she?"

Nijika asked carefully.

Ishikawa Hayabusa nodded calmly, not caring about Nijika's misunderstanding. At that moment, when things seemed to be heading towards collapse, his face remained calm.

"She is my classmate."

After Ishikawa Hayabusa finished speaking, he looked around.

He faced the nervousness of the two women in the band, the worried expression of Kita Ikuyo with her hand covering her mouth and the curious eyes of the people around him, in this square covered by a cloud of fire.

Ishikawa Hayabusa opened his arms and spoke as if he was embracing the world.

"Besides, she's right, I'm a pervert!"

"A pervert who likes everything, regardless of gender, age, whether it is organic or inorganic, regardless of its life form, chemical composition, physical properties, or even whether it is alive or not."

He didn't care about the time, place, or people around him and declared loudly and sincerely.

At that moment, he seemed to be the center of the world.

After a few seconds, the stagnant crowd began to move again.

The three girls participating in the presentation were paralyzed.

After a moment of awkwardness, Yamada Ryo calmly touched his chin, a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Do you love the world?"
