Does gravity make me stronger?

[Even though my Hachiman didn't win the championship, you can't just take advantage of me! Take this! I'll give you a good beating!]

Wait a minute, you moved my red nose away while you were moving, referee, call a timeout!

Stop talking! Stop talking!

Hachiman was completely overwhelmed by this damn system.

"Um... I'll be going now."

Already blushing, Hachiman grabbed his shoulder bag, took his unfinished work report, and strode out of the classroom.

Chapter 19 019 I heard you also want to become a 1?

After escaping from school, Hachiman quickly arrived at the Sunrise Company, swiped his card on the time clock, and leisurely walked to his workstation.

During work hours, every extra second you touch something is a bonus; after get off work, every extra second you work is a huge loss.

The scene in the office was the same as a few days ago; everyone was very busy and no one paid any attention to his inconspicuous presence, quietly doing their own thing.

Well, he really didn't like this work atmosphere; it was a bit depressing.

However, according to his understanding, the situation of other companies in Japan is no less dire.

Everyone is busy with their own things, not doing anything extra, and going home on time. Being polite on the surface is sometimes a luxury.

Over the past thirty years, the social economy has stagnated, and the companies at the bottom of society have naturally become stagnant as well.

I wonder who will be able to sustain the social economy after that magnanimous man leaves.

In comparison, the atmosphere at the Starlight Performance Hall seems even more precious.

Fortunately, Hachiman's mood improved a little when he saw the twin-tailed girl next to his workstation.

Good afternoon, Hachiman Hikigaya.

Wearing monitoring headphones, Shoko Toyokawa revealed a charming smile. Her smile was different from Motoyo Nagasaki's deliberate smile; it was a pure smile like that of a little angel.

In this suffocating atmosphere, Hachiman inexplicably felt somewhat relaxed.

[Host, wipe your drool.]

What? No way?

Hachiman anxiously touched his chin, and unsurprisingly realized that he had been tricked.

【laugh:)】

Good afternoon, Toyokawa-kun.

"Just call me Xiangzi, okay? Aren't we friends?"

Okay, Toyokawa-kun.

Hachiman didn't answer, silently picked up the monitoring headphones, and began his work for the day.

As usual, I received a lot of calls from customers, and their requests were quite demanding, including some harassing calls.

However, Hachiman couldn't understand why he, a male customer service representative, would receive harassing calls; it was truly outrageous.

"So tired~"

Perhaps she was tired from being busy, Toyokawa Shoko stretched her body to the side.

Her two ponytails swayed energetically, drawing Hachiman's attention, and then he was caught red-handed.

"Are you tired too, Hachiman? Would you like some water?"

Then, she unscrewed the lid of the thermos, poured in steaming hot tea, and handed it over.

The tea inside looks delicious.

[It's just water from a pretty girl, what's the big deal?]

Wait a minute, you can drive on this lousy road?

"Um, wouldn't that be inappropriate..."

For example, indirect kissing or something...

"Hey?"

Not good? Not good in what way?

Shoko Toyokawa's puzzled gaze lingered on the cup, then suddenly something occurred to her, and her pretty face quickly flushed a faint blush.

"Actually... you don't need to worry about this."

But I will care!

[Mr. Que, after all, the host is a virgin, so it's understandable that he's a bit sensitive.]

You've been talking a lot today.

"Well... you're welcome."

Hachiman took the cup, took a small sip, and finding the temperature just right, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

As for what black tea tastes like, he couldn't taste it at all.

But the next moment, the water I had just drunk seemed to flow into my nose.

"Cough cough!"

"Are you alright? Drink slowly."

Shoko Toyokawa came over with concern and gently patted Hachiman's back.

The sweet scent of citrus wafted over, and afraid of splashing his saliva on the other person, Hachiman quickly distanced himself.

"It's alright, don't worry."

"All right..."

A brief silence fell between them.

Finally, Toyokawa Shoko spoke first.

"By the way, your workplace internship is coming up soon, right? Has Hachiman decided where you want to go?"

"...at home."

"Home? Is this company arranged by your family?"

Toyokawa Shoko blinked in surprise. It turned out that her coworker was actually a hidden rich kid.

"No, he's a stay-at-home dad."

"what?"

Similar to Takamatsu Akari and the others, Toyokawa Shoko initially found it hard to believe Hachiman's words.

"A stay-at-home dad... Hachiman, are you perhaps a very family-oriented person?"

Toyokawa-kun, could you be an angel?

Is it possible that there's something wrong with my brain's circuitry?

Don't tell anyone!

"But isn't workplace internship supposed to be done in teams of three? If you're a stay-at-home dad, will Hachiman be able to find a partner for your internship?"

Unlike Chihaya Aine, Toyokawa Shoko seems to be genuinely considering the feasibility of doing an internship at home.

If you really want to find someone, it's not impossible, since some girls do dream of being housewives.

However, that was after graduation; normal people wouldn't submit a job application for the position of housewife.

Also.

Although it has been a month since school started, Hachiman's number of friends is still a dismal 0.

Why is it so difficult to become 1?

It's very simple. Just go to a gym and shout that you're a 0, and a 1 will contact you very soon.

Damn it, you son of a bitch.

Hachiman couldn't help but curse in his mind.

"As for companions, we can't find any."

Hachiman decides to tell the truth.

"I think so too."

"Where is Toyokawa-kun going? Could you give me some suggestions?"

"As for me, I might go to a nearby talent agency for an internship?"

Brokerage firm?

Hachiman quickly glanced at the other person.

Indeed, with Toyokawa Shoko's qualifications, she could easily debut as an idol even if she hadn't made it before.

"I have a feeling that Hachiman seems to have misunderstood something."

"I don't think so. Is Toyokawa-kun going to do some clerical work at a talent agency?"

"Ah, um... I thought you were guessing whether I would become an idol."

"No, it's ruled out from a feasibility standpoint."

"why?"

Toyokawa Shoko truthfully expressed her doubts.

Does that mean I don't meet my idol's standards?

Although Toyokawa Shoko didn't have any concerns about her appearance, she was still somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

"If Toyokawa-kun were to participate in a formal idol audition, the chances of being selected would be almost 100%, after all, your appearance is outstanding. However, considering the time spent in the workplace internship and the training period for idols, it's a different story."

According to Hachiman's understanding of the idol industry, even the most unfortunate idols have to go through layers of selection to stand out.

The more outstanding an idol is, the more layers of packaging and hard practice they need to undergo before their debut.

Toyokawa Shoko's looks far surpass those of many idols on the market, but this is a workplace internship, not a formal job search. What company would want an idol who will leave after two days?

Hachiman organized his thoughts and explained them to Toyokawa Shoko, who nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this straightforward praise.

"As expected, Hachiman is actually quite smart."

"Seriously, why assume I'm not smart?"

"Sorry, sorry, that's not what I meant... Being an idol is interesting, but it's not what I want to do in the future."

I had a feeling there was something hidden in what he said.

Hachiman listened silently to Toyokawa Shoko's answer.

"Ah, it's time, I'll head back now."

When it was time to leave work at Rishang Company, Toyokawa Shoko didn't linger and picked up her handbag to leave.

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Chapter 20 020 Galio's R

[You're off work already, still not planning to change jobs? Have you fallen for PUA?]

I'll probably switch, since the salary is higher there.

After a day of deliberation, Hachiman officially decided to work for the Starry Sky.

I'm going to talk to the minister today and ask him to settle this month's salary.

Thinking of this, Hachiman got up and walked towards the department head's workstation.

Because it was a part-time job, Hachiman's resignation process went smoothly, and the company leaders did not make things difficult for him. They even agreed that he could leave today.

He gently patted Hachiman on the shoulder before stamping his approval.

"I didn't expect that the top two performers in part-time jobs would both have to leave at the same time. This is a bit of a headache."

Should we leave together?
