Does gravity make me stronger?

"Hongxia, I know the owner of that shop. His black tea is super delicious. Do you want to try it?"

"Didn't you run out of money?"

"So please."

"First published on 705u.com - Book Club"

"Get lost!" Nijika didn't let Yamada Ryo off the hook either. She led her team past the ROLL Cafe with a fierce attitude. As they passed the cafe's glass window, Hachiman seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Unfortunately, he didn't look closely and hurried past.

...

"Su Shi, this is a notification, not a request for your opinion. Do you understand?" Xiangzi, who had been all smiles just moments before, completely changed his attitude after Su Shi's words.

As for the instigator, Nagasaki Motoyo calmly fiddled with her hair, seemingly pondering something: "Shoko, I've thought it over. I can agree to anything you ask, except for this one thing."

"so?"

"I don't know what to do now, but... just consider this my last act of stubbornness."

Stubborn?

So what is this?

Shoko was a little confused by Nagasaki Motoyo's words, and even a little angry: "Hmph, you're always thinking only of yourself."

"Xiangzi, aren't you the same? You clearly want to leave the troupe, but you won't tell us anything. Don't you know that this is causing us a lot of trouble?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's tone was full of resentment, but she kept her head down, not daring to look up at Xiangzi's expression, because she knew that this matter had touched a nerve with Xiangzi.

She used to be too afraid to touch it, but now there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

If we're going to die, we'll die together.

As expected, Xiangzi immediately fell silent upon hearing this, only staring intently at Nagasaki Motoyo to express his dissatisfaction. After a long while, he finally spoke, word by word.

"And what about you? You kept saying you wanted me to come back to Crychic, but then you turned around and formed your own band. Is that your sincerity?"

She saw RiNG's performance clearly, how dare she criticize her?

Xiangzi poured out her resentment, but Nagasaki Motoyo naturally disagreed, suddenly raising her voice: "I did that for you. As long as you come back, I can kick Aine and Kaname out anytime!"

"you..."

Xiangzi stared blankly at the other person, clearly startled by such remarks.

The coffee shop staff cautiously approached the two and reminded them to keep their voices down so as not to disrupt the shop's normal operations.

"I'm sorry..." After apologizing to the shop's staff, Xiangzi asked her final question: "Nagasaki Motoyo, so what are you planning to do now? Are you going to stop me?"

"I don't know, I just can't stand seeing you and Hachiman continue dating like this." Nagasaki Motoyo paused, then pleaded pitifully, "With Shoko's abilities, your new band should become famous very soon, so, could you give me Hachiman?"

"Hmph, all you're doing is changing the target of your harassment from me to Hachiman-kun, isn't it?"

"What can I do?!"

Nagasaki Motoyo clenched her fist in dissatisfaction and slammed it down hard. The wooden table made a "thud" sound, as if it would break in two at any moment.

"guest..."

The shop assistants came again. Although they didn't want to disturb the customer's freedom, the chestnut-haired girl was clearly in a bad mood.

"..."

Xiangzi frowned, staring silently at Su Shi's outrageous behavior.

"sorry."

After saying that, Nagasaki Motoyo stumbled out of the coffee shop, leaving Shoko standing there blankly.

After a while, she came to her senses, packed her luggage, and prepared to leave. However, the waiter stopped her and said with a troubled look, "Excuse me, miss."

"Is there something wrong? I already paid."

"Yes, miss, but another customer hasn't paid yet, so..."

That despicable Nagasaki Motoyo—

---Cut line---

Waaaaah, I really don't want to persecute Su Shi anymore, but... it feels so good!

Chapter 121, Page 119: Looking at you all, all I can do is keep running away.

Meanwhile, under Kita's guidance, Hachiman took many photos of the End Band, unlocking many new poses.

Although he was a bit unfamiliar with photography at first, he learned quickly because it didn't require complicated compositions and there were many tutorials on YouTube. He mastered it completely in about ten minutes.

The only downside is that some of the best photo spots were taken by others very early on.

That's right, I'm talking about those homo who go on pilgrimages to holy sites!

Stop yelling at people downstairs!

After searching around, the group finally arrived at a mural of a lush, large tree and took their last group photo.

Hachiman set up the tripod and fiddled with the camera that Nijika had given him.

This is just an inexpensive digital camera. Once turned on, it has three basic shooting modes that can be adjusted. After selecting the mode, the built-in system will automatically focus on the subject. This is actually quite convenient for ordinary people who are not familiar with SLR cameras.

"To be honest, apart from my family and graduation photos, I haven't taken any photos with anyone else."

For some unknown reason, Goto Ichiri, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly fell seriously ill and began to convulse on the ground, clutching her legs.

"Boqi-chan, wake up! There's only one last set of photos left, don't sleep!"

"Nijika-senpai, Pochi-chan is transforming! It's amazing!"

"Kita-chan, now's not the time for sighs..."

Just when everyone was wondering how to comfort the poor girl, Hachiman suddenly walked over, squatted down slightly, and with just one sentence, pulled Goto Ichiri, whose style was gradually becoming bizarre, back to reality.

"Goto-san, please don't worry, this is my first time too!"

"Oh, this..."

Hongxia wipes her sweat.

The next moment, Goto Ichiri seemed to come alive. Looking at Hachiman again, it was as if this boy was an angel who had descended from heaven to earth, with a pair of pure white wings and radiant light.

"Hikigaya-kun."

"Goto-kun."

The young boy and girl clasped hands with great joy, their revolutionary friendship being elevated at that moment.

This scene is titled: "The Two of Us".

"..."Hongxia, Yamada Ryo, Kita.

The three of them looked at the two of them as if they were monsters.

That look in my eyes... it feels so familiar.

"Ugh, don't 80 me~" Hachiman said deliberately in a high-pitched voice.

"hehe."

Hongxia didn't know what expression to make, so she could only sneer. At that moment, Kita suggested creating a photo wall exclusively for the End Band.

"No!" X2

Goto Ichiri and Hachiman said in unison.

"Poch-chan is one thing, but why is Hachiman also against it?" Nijika asked curiously.

As we all know, bands have fans, and they also have haters. It's normal for someone like Boqi Jiang, who is a little socially anxious, to be afraid of being pointed at and talked about by others.

But Hikigaya-kun, he shouldn't be that socially anxious, right?

"Because I'm afraid of having my box opened," Hachiman said earnestly.

Yes, it's one thing for ordinary accounts to be private, but photo walls are very revealing of private information. The band didn't have a professional management team to screen users, so what if someone takes photos of them offline?

I remember when Ichiri Goto only posted one update on her YouTube account, she was immediately targeted by a group of enthusiastic fans.

Given Kita's personality, wouldn't he be constantly posting photos on his wall?

If a black kid manages to sneak in, he'll probably suffer a lot.

Of course, Hachiman was just offering his opinion, but Goto Ichiri strongly opposed it, to the point of feeling deeply uneasy. This reaction completely dispelled Kita's idea of ​​creating a photo wall.

"Okay, then let's not open one for now. We'll just use one official account to post information about each performance."

Although Adel's photo was rejected on the photo wall, Kita insisted on creating an official account for the end of the band, and neither of them had any objections to that.

Standing in front of the large tree wall, Hachiman found a suitable distance, just enough to put the four people in the frame, and then said to the others, "Call me when you're ready."

"Okay!"

Hongxia and the others made their final preparations, some adjusting their expressions, others touching up their makeup, and then the four beautiful girls stood together in front of the wall.

"Hachiman, I'm going to find a stranger."

"Why are you looking for passersby?" Hachiman, who was adjusting the settings, asked curiously.

Hongxia countered, "What else can we do? Of course, we'll help you take photos."

"Uh, but I'm here."

"Yeah, Hachiman should film it too."

"Forehead?"

"what?"

The two stared at each other, when suddenly, a thought flashed through Nijika's mind: "Hachigaya-kun, you don't actually think you're just here to be a cameraman, do you?"

if not?

Hachiman tilted his head in confusion.

"Isn't that right? As an honorary team member, I shouldn't need to take photos, right?"

“Of course! Of course!” Goto Ichiri suddenly stood up, looking dejected, and said forcefully, “Hachigaya-kun has to come too.”

"Um, actually I can be the sixth person who disappears..."

"Damn it!" Nijika made a gesture of refusal, then forcibly dragged Hachiman over.

"No, there's no one to take pictures like this..." Hachiman looked helplessly at the four little ones. Taking pictures wasn't a bad idea, but couldn't they wait until he finished taking a group photo of the four of them?

To be honest, after being trained by Nagasaki Motoyo and Shoko, he's not so averse to taking photos with others anymore.

But don't we still have important business to attend to?

"Hmm... wait for me while I go find a passerby." With that, Hongxia darted off into the distance.

She took on the role of a bloodhound, searching for passersby who could help, but coincidentally, she couldn't find a single person available along the way.

Suddenly, Hongxia spotted a girl taking a walk around a corner.

Hongxia waved cheerfully at her and approached, saying, "Hello, miss, could you please do me a favor..."

The moment the other person turned their head, Hongxia thought to herself that something was wrong.

The other person had regular features, but looked very unwell, like a critically ill patient in the hospital. Their lifeless face was devoid of energy, and only when they realized it was Hongxia speaking did their cloudy pupils show a slight change in expression.

Nagasaki Motoyo took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Sure, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Excuse me, could you please take a picture for me? My friend and I would like to take a group photo nearby."

"Good."

And so, without knowing anything, Hongxia led Nagasaki Motoyo toward the large tree wall.

Along the way, Hongxia occasionally caught Nagasaki Motoyo's regretful expression and asked with concern, "Excuse me, did something unpleasant happen?"

"Oh, no, I didn't worry you."

"Ah oh."

Hongxia pouted. Since the other party didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask any more questions. She just felt that the other party looked strangely familiar. Had she seen him somewhere before?

Similarly, Nagasaki Motoyo also felt that Nijika was somewhat familiar.

But neither of them remembered.
