Does gravity make me stronger?

This is all for saving money, so there shouldn't be any problems!

"Then, I'll have to trouble you, Auntie."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!"

Hachiman's mother was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.

Not long ago, she was questioning why Hachiman had accomplished nothing at Haneoka Academy, but today he brought back two girls. Not bad, not bad at all!

Although I don't know why there are two, nine strong teams are better than staying at home (deleted), and better than not being able to bring any back at all.

Ultimately, after much persuasion from Hachiman's mother and Komachi, Shoko and Sose decided to stay.

The Hikigaya family hasn't been this lively in a long time.

When Hikigaya's father came home from get off work, he saw four women chatting happily in the living room, and Hachiman slumped on the sofa. He almost thought he had gone to the wrong house.

"Is this our home?"

"Yes."

Hachiman answered weakly.

"Dad... Uncle, hello, I'm Nagasaki Motoyo, a friend of Hachiman." Nagasaki Motoyo greeted him immediately after the so-called head of the family returned.

You still want to call me dad? Shameless...

Xiangzi glanced at Su Shi and bowed politely, saying, "Hello, Uncle, I am Hachiman's classmate, Toyokawa Xiangzi."

Hachiman?

Nagasaki Motoyo stared in astonishment.

Suze: Is that what you call Hachiman?

Xiangzi: Am I supposed to call him Uncle Hachiman? I'm only doing this to avoid any misunderstandings!

Their eyes met instantly, sparking countless electrical connections.

"Haha, hello everyone."

Hikigaya's father bowed and scraped as if he had met a leader, and then hurriedly led Hachiman to the other side.

Once he was sure they were at a distance where no one else could hear their conversation, he said with relief, "Hachiman, am I dreaming?"

"What do you say?"

"How dare you talk to your father like that?"

"..."

Despite being called the head of the household, in reality, Hikigaya's father's status in the family is only one rank higher than that of the family cat.

To elaborate further, the hierarchy within the Hikigaya family is actually as follows: Hikigaya's mother > Komachi > Neko > Hikigaya's father > Hachiman.

The father and son first exchanged a few words of fatherly love and filial piety, and then...

"Hachiman, you really did it."

Hachiman's father said earnestly, "And two at once, I really don't know how to praise you enough."

Is there anything praiseworthy about this?

"No, don't misunderstand!"

Hachiman's father shook his head, not giving him much room to explain.

“Your mother just gave me a look, they are both good girls.”

"Oh."

"Oh my god, get serious!"

"I'm very serious!"

Which one do you prefer?

"???"

"Forget it, there's no point in forcing you to make a choice so early. You'll suffer later anyway. I had similar agonizing moments back in the day..."

Hikigaya's father looked at Hachiman, his eyes filled with images of his past self.

Back then, he was a heartthrob, captivating countless girls wherever he went.

Hachiman gently placed his right hand on him, and ten seconds later, he only saw the memory of his youth when he was madly pursuing Hachiman's mother. As for the so-called moment of inner turmoil, it didn't exist at all.

Damn it, he even lied to his own son!

I'll eat anyone who's human.

---Cut line---

There will be another update this afternoon.

Chapter 179, Section 176: Xiangzi: Su Shi's, is it good?

After half an hour of chaos, Xiangzi and Su Shi seemed to have fully accepted the fact that they were staying at the Hikigaya family's house.

While cooking dinner, the two of them naturally put themselves in the shoes of a girlfriend visiting her future in-laws' home for the first time, and went into the kitchen to help Hachiman's parents.

At home, Motoyo Nagasaki also helps with housework and has developed excellent cooking skills.

Therefore, she thought she would easily defeat Xiangzi, who was "never lifted a finger in the kitchen," in terms of feminine strength, but the result was a huge surprise to her.

Whether it's cooking, cleaning, or other household chores, Xiangzi is overwhelmingly powerful.

"Impossible. Xiangzi's family is so well-off, why would he be so good at housework?"

Nagasaki Motoyo, Female Power, Third Dan!

Wait a minute, don't underestimate a young person's potential!

Nagasaki Motoyo pursed her cherry lips into a thin line, emphasizing her unwillingness to admit defeat.

There are many wealthy girls in Tsuki no Mori, and at least 90% of them do not do housework.

Girls who are rich, capable, and good at housework only exist in comics; you rarely see them in real life.

Xiangzi immediately shattered her stereotype of rich young ladies.

Seeing that the virtuous Xiangzi was almost omnipotent, Nagasaki Motoyo actually felt a vague sense of inferiority.

"Hachiman..."

Sitting pitifully and helplessly on the sofa, Nagasaki Motoyo let out a weak cry that gave him goosebumps.

"what happened?"

"Would you prefer a girl who is good at all housework to someone like me who isn't good at it?"

fishing?

He won't fall for it.

"It's okay, I'll take care of the housework then, because my dream is to be a stay-at-home dad!" Hachiman smiled.

"Oh, this..."

Feeling like she was doing something wrong, Nagasaki Motoyo shook her head to dispel the bad mood in her heart.

About half an hour later, the food was served, and the group gathered around the table.

Since it was their first time meeting Hachiman's parents, Shoko and Sose were inevitably a little reserved, so Hachiman's mother kept giving them meaningful glances to get him to start a conversation.

So, he reluctantly brought up a few topics.

"Ah, it's getting hot today."

"..."

"My grades have improved recently."

"..."

Hikigaya's parents looked at Hachiman simultaneously, their expressions full of disappointment: "We came here to hear this, not to tell you about your romances with those two girls."

Hachiman was speechless.

"Oh, by the way, my cat actually can do somersaults."

"..."

Until the very end.

It was Komachi who saved the day, and with Nagasaki Motoyo and Shoko taking the initiative to speak, that the atmosphere at the scene became a little more lively.

Since they had to get up early to work the next day, after finishing dinner and cleaning the table, Hikigaya's parents left the stage to the younger generation.

Incidentally, before leaving, they tidied up the sofa for Hachiman so he would have a place to sleep that night.

Since the bathroom at home wasn't big enough for three people to shower together, they decided that Shoko, who had taken on more housework, would shower first, followed by Komachi and Nagasaki Motoyo.

Perhaps feeling a little uncomfortable in someone else's home, Xiangzi only took 20 minutes to get out of the bathroom, much shorter than the average time it took for girls to shower, as he knew.

By the way, if you don't take a bath, a Hachiman bath usually only takes 5 minutes. You just take off your clothes, lather up, and rinse off. It's very quick.

After Xiangzi came out, Nagasaki Motoyo happily took Komachi's hand and they went into the bathroom together.

"Komachi, I'll scrub your back for you later!"

"Okay, Sister Su Shi!"

Hey, when did you two become so close?

Suseo, are you planning to steal Komachi away?

I won't allow it!

Hachiman's resentful gaze followed her the whole way. Just before closing the door, Komachi made a playful gesture: "Onii-chan, don't peek!"

"Who's trying to peek?!"

Speaking of which, would anyone secretly watch their own sister take a bath?

It's a bit disgusting...

Even if your own sister walks in front of you wearing only one piece of clothing, showing her panties, you won't feel any desire for her.

"Aren't you going to peek?"

Nagasaki Motoyo tilted her head cutely, her expression showing a hint of disappointment.

Perhaps unable to bear the ambiguous interaction between the group, Xiangzi coughed lightly.

"Let's go inside first!"

After Komachi and Nagasaki Motoyo went into the bathroom, Shoko looked around somewhat embarrassedly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally sat down next to Hachiman with embarrassment.

Hachiman also moved to the side, giving Shoko enough space.

As soon as Xiangzi sat down, the scent of shampoo wafted into Hachiman's nostrils.

It's a very familiar scent, unique to the Hachiman family.

For some reason, this scent was more alluring to him than Xiangzi's natural body fragrance.

Hachiman looked over.

Because he had just washed his hair, Xiangzi's originally sky-blue hair was not completely dry and shimmered under the incandescent light.

She was wearing loose white loungewear, with the neckline hanging loosely, looking like she had been wearing it for a long time.

From a certain angle, one can see the sky-blue clothing faintly visible.

He quickly turned around to adjust his perspective.

"The atmosphere at Hachiman's house is really nice."

In her home, there is never a scene of family eating together; at the same time, there is always a cold and desolate atmosphere.

Coming to the Hachiman family seemed to fill the void in my heart.

"Is your family's situation any better?"

Hachiman rarely inquires about other people's situations, especially those with special circumstances like Shoko's.

Xiangzi stared at the ground, lost in thought, then nodded vigorously: "It should be developing in a positive direction, right? Hachiman, I'm about to form a new band."
