Does gravity make me stronger?

Hachiman has always been submissive, so if Toyokawa Shoko can arrange everything so that he only needs to show up, that would be perfect.

"Then let's go back."

Chapter 25 025 Chihaya Aine: I really want to improve.

Back in the classroom, Takamatsu Akari said timidly to Hachiman, "I'm sorry, Hachiman, I didn't know you hadn't found your internship location yet..."

In the morning, Hachiman was called over by his homeroom teacher and given a beating, while Takamatsu Akari could only cheer him on from the sidelines, sending "666" and expressing her frustration at not being able to do what she wanted.

[It has a tea flavor, but since it was said by the little angel Lamp Treasure, then it's fine.]

Wait a minute, who is the little angel Lamp Treasure?

Hachiman inwardly scorned the hypocritical system before speaking.

"It's ok."

"I'll help you with the internship location. I have relatives who know places where you can do internships."

"Thank you for your concern, someone is willing to take me in."

"Ah...that's good."

Gao Songdeng's eyes first lit up with surprise, then revealed a hint of disappointment.

"Hey, Tomorin, forget about Hachiman over there, Riki's nagging me again."

Chihaya Aine, with a mournful face, rubbed against Takamatsu Akari.

Pretty girl stickers, so cute!

"I'm sorry... Aine, I can't play the guitar either, so I can't help you." Takamatsu Akari said earnestly.

"Tomorin, could you talk to Riki? She's under a lot of pressure every time you pressure me like this."

"Well, I will."

Hachiman listened from the side.

According to the information gathered by his humanoid camera, Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine also seem to have formed a band.

However, judging from Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine's daily conversations, their band journey seems to have been bumpy, and they haven't even decided on a band name yet.

There's a premonition that the Grand Secretary... will die before achieving his goal.

Seemingly noticing Hachiman's gaze, Chihaya Aine immediately dropped her coquettish expression.

"...How's the band doing?"

"Ugh?"

Seemingly not expecting Hachiman to bring up the topic of the band, Takamatsu Akari remained silent for several seconds.

"That's terrible."

Chihaya Aine answered first.

'But Meng Danai, I will definitely put the band together!'

Aine-chan is amazing (reading in a flat tone).

Hearing the words in his heart, Hachiman silently clapped his hands.

Of course, if it were really that simple, then Gao Songdeng wouldn't have been so sullen all day.

Conclusion: Chihaya Aine was just putting on a brave face.

but.

Regardless of what happens on Gao Songdeng's side, there's no room for him to interfere.

After the incident of ending the band, Hachiman learned a lesson: people who run bands are a lot of troublesome people.

Never have a relationship with them lightly.

After finishing the conversation, Hachiman returned to his seat alone, put on his headphones, and began listening to music while reviewing his upcoming lessons.

...

Chihaya Aine has been having a bit of a headache these past few days. On one hand, she needs to speed up her guitar lessons, and on the other hand, Riki hasn't taken her feelings into account and has unilaterally signed her up for a live performance.

As a complete beginner to guitar, Chihaya Aine has already sought out many professional books and videos to learn, but it seems that it will be too difficult to learn guitar before the live performance.

Ultimately, Riki shouldn't have signed up without even discussing it with anyone!

The result is that I have to work desperately to catch up on the schedule, which is ridiculous.

Chihaya Aine was sulking and throwing a tantrum, feeling that Riki was targeting her.

Of course, she also wanted to perform on stage, but only if she could play the instrument well.

If you force someone to do something they're not comfortable with, something bad might happen.

For example... terrible memories play on a loop in my mind, and the oppressive, suffocating feeling caused by studying abroad comes rushing in.

No!

We must never repeat this mistake!

...However, she currently has no good way to persuade Riki to give up the performance.

"Ugh..."

Chihaya Aine's anxious mood infected Takamatsu Akari, who spoke softly.

"Aine-chan, I want to tell Hachiman about our situation."

Why do we have to talk to boys about our problems?

"This isn't a good idea..."

Chihaya Aine looked at Takamatsu Akari with a puzzled expression.

Putting aside Hachiman Hikigaya's personality, it's not really appropriate to talk about the band's affairs with outsiders, is it?

"But if this continues, it feels like... it's going to..." Sigh.

Gao Songdeng became less and less confident as he spoke.

She had a premonition that the newly formed band was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

"But what's the point of talking to this guy?"

"Hachiman, you're amazing."

Takamatsu Akari put on a very determined expression.

Chihaya Aine glanced at Hachiman, who was studying in his seat. His dejected appearance made it hard to associate him with the word "powerful".

Did that guy give Tomorin some kind of mind-altering drug?

"I...disagree."

"Aine-chan..."

Takamatsu Akari looked like a pitiful little rabbit, and her aggrieved eyes made Chihaya Aine exclaim that she couldn't stand it.

"...Well, I can talk to him about it, but there's one condition: I won't give up my guitarist position!"

Why give up the guitarist position?

Although she didn't understand, Takamatsu Akari still happily held Chihaya Aine's hand.

"Aine-chan, thank you!"

Before school ended, Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari secretly found Hachiman and forcibly took him to the Astronomy Club's preparation room, as if something big was about to happen.

"Isn't it necessary to conduct club activities here?" Hachiman looked around.

The astronomy department room was empty, with only some stargazing diaries and a few star posters; there wasn't even a trace of the ghost members' existence.

It's a great place to slack off.

"The Astronomy Department's activities usually take place at night, and I'm the only one left in the department now."

Takamatsu Akari said in a sad tone.

Oh, this.

Hachiman wasn't trying to provoke her; he was just asking a simple question.

"Let's leave the Astronomy Club's affairs aside for now, Hachiman. What's coming up is very important to us. Can you promise not to tell anyone?"

Eureka! Ai-yin-chan has a secret to share with you: technology has advanced!

...Yeah, right.

Sensing that trouble was about to unfold, Hachiman immediately chose to yo-yo.

"No, I can't guarantee that."

"..."

"Um, Hachiman, could you please help us?"

"Do not..."

"Hachiman, is it not allowed?"

Takamatsu Akari's bright eyes were fixed on Hachiman, and the faint scent of shampoo emanating from her made it hard for him to remain calm.

Clearly, this combination of tactics was extremely effective.

"Speaking of which, why did you ask me for help? I can't help you with anything, whether it's studying or socializing." Hachiman scratched his cheek.

"No, Hachiman is amazing."

What did I do that gave you the illusion that I'm amazing?

'Hachiman can catch the plush toys I can't!'

'Amazing!'

No... being good at claw machines probably doesn't explain much, right?

Or are you contacting me because you couldn't win anything at the claw machine?

However, Hachiman's heart skipped a beat when he heard the next part of his heart.

'Hachiman will definitely be able to help us, otherwise it'll break again...'

Chapter 26 026 The Greek God Who Controlled the Orchestra

Even Gao Songdeng herself probably didn't realize how pitiful her almost self-destructive thoughts were just now.

It's like a child who gets lost in an amusement park. Although they miss their mother, they don't let their emotions get the better of them and cry loudly. Instead, they stay where they are and quietly wait for their mother to appear.

It hurts people.

However, its destructive power was so strong that it directly pierced through Hachiman's self-protective tortoise shell.

[As mentioned during the draft phase, playing the turtle will eventually lead to defeat.]

No way! No way!

If only I could never hear what's in my heart!

System, you've really put me in a difficult position!

[Hey everyone, please type "protect" in the chat!]

"Okay, but I can't guarantee I can help you..."

At this moment, Hachiman looks just like a proud blonde who has been halfway through his conquest.

"Actually, we encountered some difficulties in the process of forming the band."

Chihaya Aine sighed, a troubled expression on her face.

"Although it's not a big deal, it's indeed quite troublesome."

[Another band?]

[Host, in your past life, did you perhaps overthrow the Greek god of orchestra?]
