Does gravity make me stronger?

Toyokawa Shoko: Shall we go to the company together later?

Hachiman: I'm sorry, I've already resigned from that position.

"Ugh?"

Toyokawa Shoko covered her mouth in disbelief.

Has he already resigned? Does that mean he won't be coming to the office anymore?

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Why is this happening? I finally found a friend I can spend my whole life with, someone I like... no, I've messed up, let's start over.

...East Malaysian mistress!

Perhaps because she learned that Hachiman had resigned, she seemed listless and dispirited at work.

Even her colleagues couldn't stand it anymore.

"Xiangzi-chan, you're acting strange today. Is something on your mind?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was daydreaming."

The colleague next to him glanced at the room next to Toyokawa Shoko and then let out a drawn-out "Oh~".

"So it was someone you liked who resigned. My condolences."

Hachiman: You're the one who should be mourning!

Shoko Toyokawa waved her hand with a wry smile: "You've misunderstood. Mr. Hikigaya and I are just ordinary colleagues."

"He's a former colleague."

"...Um."

Shoko Toyokawa, holding the microphone, stared blankly at the computer screen until the next phone call came in, at which point her expression changed slightly.

...

Wednesday, Starlight Auditorium.

Since it wasn't performance time yet, there weren't many customers nearby, only a few scattered pedestrians passing by.

As agreed, Hachiman brought Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari, who was accompanying him.

"I'll talk to the manager about something first, so please wait for me in the performance hall."

"Oh."

Chihaya Aine obediently agreed, then looked around the performance hall.

"tomorin, this place is completely different from RiNG, but it has a real underground band vibe."

Because it's located in a bustling downtown area and adjacent to major commercial districts, RiNG's atmosphere is more like a band stage that blends shopping mall attributes.

But the Starlight Concert Hall in front of us is different. It has a real underground band vibe, and it wouldn't be surprising if a few musicians with brightly colored hair and punk-style afro hairstyles walked out of it.

Chihaya Aine: Wow, so cool!

Just like Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Akari looked around like a curious child.

Hachiman led the two into the performance hall, but when they entered, there was no one at the ticket counter, only a tuft of pink hair sticking out.

"Is it not open for business yet?"

Chihaya Aine looked around.

Hachiman walked to the ticket booth and looked down.

As expected, Goto Ichiri was hiding inside, trembling with fear.

"Don't find me, don't find me, I am inorganic matter, I am an insect."

"that..."

"scare!"

Hachiman simply said one sentence, and Goto Ichiri's entire body turned gray, like an exhausted boxer in a manga.

[Poke-chan ate it too!]

"..."

Goto Ichiri's social anxiety seems to have gotten worse...

"Poch-chan, we have a guest! Wake up, wake up... Oh, it's Hachiman-kun."

Nijika rushed to the door to save the day, and upon seeing Hachiman, she showed a happy expression.

"Welcome, welcome."

"Hello."

"Who are these two in the back...?"

“They are my classmates, and they wanted to come to see the performance today,” Hachiman Heihei said.

"Well done, Hachiman, thank you for helping my sister get customers."

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

Hongxia gave a thumbs up energetically.

"Is Manager Ichichi here? I need to talk to her."

"My sister is here, please come in first."

Hongxia led the three of them inside, and then casually carried the unconscious Pochi-chan into the performance hall.

"Um, is she alright?"

Chihaya Aine asked with concern, "It's rare to meet a girl with the same hair color as me."

"It's okay, it's okay, that's just how Pochi-chan is, you'll get used to it."

"Ah, habits..."

The quiet performance hall suddenly became lively because of the arrival of two beautiful girls, while Hachiman found Iji Tomoka to discuss work matters.

After Hachiman entered, Ijichi Seika, who was holding a cup of milk tea, swallowed the tapioca pearls in her mouth before speaking.

"Good afternoon, Hachiman. How are things going with your work plans?"

"I'm fine with that, but could we sign an agreement?"

"can."

Ichiji Hoshika put the milk tea aside, then went into the recording studio, and returned to the performance hall a minute later with an agreement.

"Here you go. When can you start work?"

"Anytime is fine."

Hachiman checked the salary and time on the agreement, then took out his seal and stamped his name on it.

"Wow, you've prepared quite a lot."

Ijichi Seika watched with great interest what Hachiman was holding.

Generally speaking, an agreement only needs to be signed to have legal effect, but most office workers will prepare their own personal seal.

Although the young man in front of me seemed unwilling to work, he made all the necessary preparations.

A natural-born corporate slave!

Although he hadn't activated his abilities, Hachiman felt that Ijichi Hoshika on the other side was thinking something impolite, so he quickened his pace, signed the agreement, and handed it over.

"I've signed it."

"Okay, but since it's Wednesday, I can only schedule you for a later time. But don't worry, you'll definitely be able to leave before 10 o'clock."

Is there overtime pay?

Hachiman wanted to ask that, but he knew it was impossible, so he kept quiet.

"Come report for duty tomorrow... By the way, which one over there is your girlfriend?"

Hachiman was startled by a sudden remark from Ijichi Seika.

"Why such a big reaction? Is your family against you dating so young?"

"No...we're just classmates."

"Oh, she looks pretty. But if you want to pick her up, remember to buy a ticket. Make sure there's no employee discount."

After saying this, Ichiji Hoshika left gracefully.

Work is settled.

Now, it's time to go back and see how Chihaya Aine is doing.

Although he had given Chihaya Aine a heads-up beforehand, Hachiman wasn't sure how she would get along with Goto Ichiri.

To put it in the worst-case scenario, it's possible that Ichiri Goto might dislike him.

So he quickly returned to the performance hall.

However, the current situation is very different from what he imagined.

Several beautiful girls gathered around a small table, with the outgoing Nijika standing very close to Chihaya Aine.

I also want to get close to pretty girls.

Wait a minute, that wasn't my thought, it was the system's!

Wait a minute, I didn't say that, don't try to shift the blame onto me.

"Ta-da! School topic! What's the relationship between Akari-chan and Aine-chan and Hachiman-kun at school?"

"I'm curious."

Yamada Ryo stared intently at them, a flame of gossip burning in his eyes.

"Hey, what kind of relationship do you have? We're just ordinary classmates, aren't we?" Chihaya Aine scratched her cheek awkwardly.

Hongxia had some doubts about this.

Ordinary classmates?

What about that girl who ran away last time?

Hachiman looks harmless, but it turns out he's a player.

"What about the lamp sauce?"

"I...I'm friends with Hachiman..."

Takamatsu Akari struggled to choose the right words to express her relationship with Hachiman, but unfortunately, they were just ordinary classmates at the moment.

“He’s a classmate,” Hachiman said, unable to bear it any longer.

"Oh my, isn't this Hachiman? Have you finished talking with your sister about what you wanted to discuss?"

"Yes, I'll be working here from now on. I'll be troubling you then."

"Great! I knew it! The performance hall was just short of a male worker."

Then, like a cute little fox, she came over and whispered in his ear, "Hey, which one do you like, Hachiman? Touka-chan, Aine-chan, or that girl from last weekend? We can help you."

"Our relationship is not what you imagine."

Hachiman's ears were itchy, so he consciously took a step back.

"Hey, Hachiman Hachiman..."

Chihaya Aine called out, then kept gesturing with her eyes, "Who's the guitarist? Tell me!"

"Ahem, Goto-kun, your performance last time was wonderful."

Suddenly called out, Goto Ichiri blinked, then shyly covered her face.

"N-nothing."

Basic procedures, don't overdo it!

Although she really wanted to say that, Goto Ichiri's eyes couldn't help but darken when she thought about how she performed in a mango box last weekend.
