Does gravity make me stronger?

A new band?

Hachiman was a little curious: given Xiangzi's current condition, did he still have time to play music?

Whether it's Mygo or the End of the Band, each musician comes from a well-off family, at least they don't have to worry about making ends meet.

Logically speaking, Xiangzi shouldn't be forming a band with the goal of having fun anymore.

So, is it for profit?

"Have all the members been found?"

"Yes, they are some great players."

"Tell me if you need anything, and I'll try my best to help."

"Ah."

Hachiman's comforting words, like a sweet candy, melted in her heart.

Xiangzi couldn't help but gently rest his head on Hachiman's shoulder, his damp hair spreading out. Hachiman trembled slightly, suppressing the urge to spring off the sofa and adjusting his trajectory.

"I might have to trouble you more in the future."

"So heavy..."

Xiangzi puffed out his cheeks and nudged Hachiman with his elbow in a sullen manner. A strand of hair slipped into Hachiman's hand, and he instinctively touched it; it was incredibly smooth.

The girl's hair is so well-maintained...

Thinking this, because of the angle, the sky-blue clothes once again came into view. Hachiman covered his mouth and turned his head away, offering a brief reminder.

"Um, be careful not to expose yourself."

Being a quiet pervert is fine, but you can't keep taking advantage of Xiangzi all the time...

Xiangzi pursed his lips, his expression somewhat strange. A few seconds later, his face flushed, he leaned close to Hachiman's ear, his breath disturbing his thoughts.

"Have you seen Su Shi's too?"

Chapter 180, Section 177: Prison Eight: Brothers, I'll go first!

"—!"

This is a classic life-or-death question, no less perplexing than asking, "If I and your mother fell into the river, which one would you save first?"

In addition, this caused the memories that had been sealed away that morning to resurface in my mind.

Xiangzi, guilty!

Hachiman began to think deeply.

Seeing this scene, Xiangzi felt uneasy instead.

"Hachigaya-kun, you don't actually think Motoyo is better, do you? Sure, she has a better figure, but I still feel that my skin is more comfortable to touch."

Xiangzi said defiantly.

As we all know, impulsiveness is the devil, and even someone as emotionally stable as Xiangzi has moments when he loses his temper.

A strange, dark emotion drove her to do things she would never normally do.

The next moment, Hachiman realized that his hand had been pulled up.

Just as he was wondering what Xiangzi would do to his hand, it slowly landed on the girl's fair legs.

Because he was only wearing a loose midi skirt, Hachiman could directly touch Shoko's burning hot skin.

At that moment, his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.

"How...how is it?" With tenderness in her watery eyes, Xiangzi didn't look away, but stared straight at Hachiman.

Smooth! Lubricated!

No.

"I'm a little too shy..."

"sorry..."

A circuit in his mind instantly clicked, and Xiangzi, who had been controlled by the devil, temporarily regained his sanity.

At that moment, she realized what she had done inappropriately and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Aren't you going to let go?"

"No."

She bit her lip, her face as red as a teapot, yet she stubbornly pressed Hachiman to the spot.

"Tell me your thoughts."

"This isn't like buying something."

Hachiman stubbornly resisted.

"no!"

Xiangzi took a deep breath, looking as if he had made an important decision. The next second, he placed the hand holding Hachiman towards his heart.

"I understand, I understand, it feels good."

Hachiman said repeatedly before his palm touched the sensitive area.

Hearing a satisfactory reply, Xiangzi finally let go, then buried his head contentedly in Hachiman's chest, listening to the other's rapid and powerful voice.

"Hachiman, your heart is beating very fast."

"Don't you think about whose fault it is?"

Hachiman gently pushed him away, but Xiangzi showed no sign of leaving; instead, he clung to him even tighter.

Strands of hair that weren't completely dry kept getting into his nose, making him feel like he was going to sneeze.

"Um, is this uncomfortable?"

"Fortunately."

Seeing Hachiman rubbing his nose in discomfort, Shoko carefully changed her posture, leaning gracefully on the boy's shoulder as she had at the beginning.

"Hey."

"Ok?"

"Hachiman, if you like Motoyo, that's fine with me too."

"?"

Not quite understanding Xiangzi's meaning, Hachiman turned his head away.

Xiangzi didn't speak again, but a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

"I don't understand you."

What I mean is, even if you leave me, I will still love you.

"..."

The two stopped talking and remained in that leaning position.

After an unknown amount of time, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had just finished showering and emerged from the bathroom, was stunned by what she saw.

BIG daring!

Xiangzi, you've crossed the line!

Komachi's expression was also quite interesting.

On one hand, she had just closed the distance with Su Shi through honesty and found out that the other party really, really liked her older brother.

On the other hand, Komachi wants as many potential sister-in-law candidates as possible, so she doesn't want to unilaterally support any one person.

Xiangzi is also an extremely outstanding girl, but she is a bit more passive than Su Shi.

In relationships, the passive party is inherently at a disadvantage.

Therefore, she was initially worried that this would be a one-sided battle, but it turned out that she was wrong.

Xiangzi's sister is quite aggressive...

What are you doing?

Hachiman looked over, made a shushing gesture, and said in a low voice, "Be quiet, she's asleep."

Although Su Shi wished she could kick Xiangzi away from Hachiman, she remained silent in order to maintain her public image.

Suppressing her anger, Nagasaki Motoyo walked over step by step.

When they arrived in front of Hachiman, they found that Shoko's eyes were closed and his breathing was very even, so he must have been asleep. This put them at ease.

No, isn't Xiangzi's behavior blatantly running away?

Unforgivable!

Nagasaki Motoyo, with wicked intentions, reached out and first touched Shoko's perfect face. Realizing that she didn't react, she gradually grew bolder and began to pinch her earlobe and lips.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

Sensing that Nagasaki Motoyo had some kind of quirk awakening within her, Hachiman quickly interrupted.

"It's alright, Hachiman, go take a bath. I'll take good care of Shoko."

"Oh."

He's fine when he's alone, but when others are watching him, he can't stand it.

So he carefully supported Xiangzi's limp body, and Nagasaki Motoyo took the body and placed it on his shoulder, while Hachiman left to go to the bathroom.

After saying that, Komachi also left the living room and ran upstairs.

"Well."

On his shoulder, Xiangzi shifted restlessly, like a baby who had just fallen asleep.

Although Nagasaki Motoyo had never liked Shoko, at this critical moment, Shoko's obedience aroused her maternal instincts.

"Xiangzi-chan, you're so cute. I wish you wouldn't try to take Hachiman from me."

Nagasaki Motoyo patiently takes care of Shoko, reminiscing about her time at Crychic.

Those were truly happy times...

"Hikigaya-san?"

Xiangzi's lips moved as if he were talking in his sleep, then he suddenly opened his eyes. "Su Shi?"

When Shoko saw that the person next to her had changed from Hachiman to Nagasaki Motoyo, she showed a look of disgust.

"Hachiman went to take a bath, do you want to peek?"

"Who, who would do such a thing!"

"Xiangzi-chan, are you being unusually well-behaved today?"

"I was the one who said that. This is someone else's house. Su Shi, I'm warning you, don't go too far tonight."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely restrain myself this time."

Nagasaki Motoyo just smiled.

...

After taking a shower, Hachiman entered the bath in the bathroom.

He has a habit of taking baths, but because there is no bathhouse in the student dormitory, he has been suppressing himself for the past few months.

[Xiangzi Su Shi's bathwater, hehehe]

Brothers, I'll go first!

???

After being reminded by Touko, Hachiman's relaxed body suddenly tensed up.

Looking at the thick soup in front of him... no, hot water, Hachiman suppressed his thoughts and tried not to let them wander.

At that moment, a blurry outline appeared in the glass door, and Komachi's voice came from outside.

"Onii-chan, I've put your clothes outside for you."
