Does gravity make me stronger?

Have they finished eating all the leftovers at home?

...Also, can cakes really be sent by express delivery?

As for Nagasaki Motoyo, she seemed to have been turned on a switch and began to frantically plunder the store.

As everyone knows, beautiful girls have a second stomach when they eat desserts, and Nagasaki Motoyo, who kept taking cakes from her shopping tray, didn't care at all whether she could finish them.

The waiter handed over the packaged pastries, and after paying, Hachiman promptly left the dessert shop to avoid being swayed by the alluring aroma.

While waiting, Hachiman noticed a specially marked-out empty area in the very center of the mall.

Several employees were working inside, and a young man wearing a baseball cap was happily ringing a bell and calling out to customers.

"Spend 5000 yuan or more to get a chance to win a prize. The prizes are very generous, so come and take a look."

The prizes in the prize pool are a giant teddy bear for the first prize, a large cake discount coupon for the second prize, and a limited edition MAX coffee for the third prize.

BIG boldness! Why did MAX Coffee only get third prize? They should stage a one-on-one challenge!

Putting aside the prizes, people usually have a gambler's mentality when it comes to lotteries and similar events, and Hachiman is no exception.

Unfortunately, the price he paid did not reach the amount required for a single draw.

Furthermore, spending 5000 yuan to enter a lottery for a MAX coffee that can be bought for a few hundred yuan is a classic consumerist trap.

Get out of my way!

But...

That's a limited edition MAX coffee!

Hachiman's gaze was gradually drawn to it.

[Why don't you just beg Nagasaki Motoyo to give you one chance to win a prize?]

How can a real man eat food offered with contempt?

【No way, someone who aspires to be a stay-at-home dad has the right to say that?】

Let me say it again: stay-at-home dads are paid for their labor!

----Cut line----

First prize: Monthly pass; Second prize: Recommendation vote; Third prize: Collection.

P.S.: I didn't mean anything by it.

Chapter 34 034 I'm so incredibly excited!

Hachiman sat listlessly on a chair provided by the mall, trying his best to divert his attention elsewhere.

But for some reason, ever since he sat down, people kept looking over, making Hachiman, who was already very sensitive to stares, feel quite uncomfortable.

Is there a problem here?

Hachiman checked around the seats, and soon the words "Boyfriend Rest Seat" came into view.

He stood up instinctively, then sat back down.

Although it says "Boyfriend's Rest Seat", just like the priority seats on buses, there is no rule that only male girlfriends can sit there.

In addition, there were no empty seats in the other rest areas, so if you left, you would just be standing there dumbfounded.

Face or substance?

Hachiman chose the latter.

However, although the "boyfriend rest area" was just an area artificially designated by the mall, it unexpectedly created an interesting phenomenon.

'Hey you dead-eyed brat, what are you doing sitting alone in the boyfriend section? Get over here right now!'

Hachiman, who activated his powers out of boredom, suddenly heard the voices of strangers around him.

Not far to his right, a crew-cut boy sitting in a regular rest area looked resentful and kept sending him messages of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

'Aren't you getting up? Looking at yourself like that, do you think you have a girlfriend?'

"Damn, you don't actually have a girlfriend, do you? Right, she's probably a ferocious dinosaur, or maybe a tank!"

[This BYD guy seems so resentful, did he just break up?]

[Girls, let's go for him! I have the utmost contempt for gender-bending knights like Guo Nan!]

"..."

The system is being quite aggressive today.

Meanwhile, Nagasaki Motoyo had also bought desserts. Now that she had left the cake shop, she was anxiously looking around because she couldn't find Hachiman anywhere.

"Drip!"

The message arrived promptly via mobile phone.

Hachiman: After you've finished buying, turn right outside the door. I'm in the rest area.

Nagasaki Motoyo: Why didn't you wait for me?

Hachiman: I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while.

"Are you tired...? No, you can't get angry..."

Slightly provoked, Nagasaki Motoyo closed her eyes, patted her chest, and forcibly suppressed the anger she felt at being abandoned.

She followed the message Hachiman sent and searched all the way here.

Hachiman memorized some vocabulary on his phone, and when he looked up again, he saw Nagasaki Motoyo walking towards him from a distance, her steps seemingly carrying a hint of displeasure.

Wow, what a pretty girl! Wait, he's walking this way. Is he going to hit on me?

"Holy crap, she really made it! Cough cough, my luck with women has arrived!"

'I'm no longer single!'

It was still the same thought in the mind of that crew-cut boy. Hachiman glanced at him without leaving a trace.

Although Nagasaki Motoyo wasn't his girlfriend, Hachiman felt a rare, subtle feeling of 'I won't win' welling up inside him.

"Hachiman, you should let me know when you come out, otherwise I'll worry."

Nagasaki Motoyo approached, smiling as she extended her hand, a gesture that left Hachiman frozen in place, utterly embarrassed. The crew-cut man beside him stared wide-eyed.

"Damn, this girl already has a boyfriend. How embarrassing!"

'If it weren't for you, you dead-eyed brat, why should I?!'

"..."

Hachiman pondered for a second, then stood up and grabbed the large bag that Nagasaki Motoyo was carrying in her other hand, which was filled with pastries bought from a dessert shop.

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo's empty right hand clenched helplessly in the air.

Hachiman Hikigaya, garlic paste is ruthless!

"You bought so much, won't you be able to finish it all?" Hachiman asked, weighing the bag in his hand.

"Some of these are gifts I bought for Komachi."

“Komachi loves sweets, but she can’t eat too many at her age, or her teeth will get cavities,” Hachiman said, adopting a stern tone befitting an elder brother.

"Sigh, but these are all so delicious..." Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the bag of desserts in her hand with a conflicted expression.

"If we're going to give Komachi a return gift, we should choose one carefully."

"So... what kind of dessert does Komachi like the most?"

Of course, it's a dessert with a heart-shaped design that expresses Onii-chan's love!

Of course, such words of social death could not be uttered aloud.

"Peanut cakes are Komachi's favorite, and chocolate desserts are probably the next best."

"Hmm...then I'll send this and this to Komachi!"

Nagasaki Motoyo took two beautifully packaged desserts out of the bag and presented them to Hachiman with a smile.

[Damn, I feel like I'm being outdone. Hachiman-kun, Komachi's going to be snatched away like this!]

It's a cow, it's a cow!

"Hey there, miss, wanna try your luck at the lucky draw?"

As the two were about to leave the mall, the shop assistant in the baseball cap called out to them.

"lottery?"

When asked, Nagasaki Motoyo tilted her head and winked at Hachiman, as if asking for his opinion.

"I didn't buy enough to participate... If you have enough, you can give it a try."

"Then... I'll give it a try?"

No, stop asking me!

Mom is scared.

Seeing Hachiman and the others walking towards them, the baseball cap shop clerk politely took out a raffle box.

"Do you still have your receipts? You can get a prize for every 2000 yuan you spend on them."

"Okay, here you go."

Nagasaki Motoyo handed over the receipt she had just received. The baseball cap shop clerk looked up and, while checking it, suddenly looked in surprise at Hachiman standing behind her.

"It's you?"

...

Takeshi Koyasu was originally an excellent waiter at an arcade.

At this time of day, he should have been enjoying the angry and resentful stares of other customers who couldn't win at the claw machine, and if he was in a good mood, he could even bully other employees.

However, all of this vanished after encountering a certain deadpan high school student.

The reason is simple: someone reported him for secretly taking out the doll!

In addition to illegally collecting prizes from claw machines, he was also exposed for arbitrarily raising the threshold of the claw machines!

Then, the boss ruthlessly cut me off.

How dare they fire me, you idiot!

Fortunately, Takeshi Koyasu had taken precautions in advance, and immediately after being fired from the arcade, he got a job opportunity at this shopping mall.

The project he's in charge of today is this lottery box in front of him.

There are one hundred balls in the box, and each ball contains a different prize, so there is no possibility of not winning.

Of course, the sponsors aren't running a charity; 90% of the prizes are bottles of MAX coffee costing several hundred yuan each, with only a few balls containing relatively valuable first and second prizes.

And there's only one ball for the first prize!

However, Takeshi Koyasu dares to guarantee that no one will win the first prize!

why?

Of course, it was his son, Takeda Koyasu, who rigged the ball!

Hehehe!

On the only first-prize ball, Takeshi Koyasu had pre-installed a state-of-the-art detection chip, and once the ball was picked up, the machine in his shirt pocket would vibrate.

At this point, Takehiro Koyasu would make a sound to interfere with the other person's actions until the other person voluntarily puts down the prize ball and draws it again.

In fact, drawing the only first-prize ball out of a hundred is no easy task, so he hardly had to do anything today; the prize ball remained safe.

Incidentally, whether or not he was drawn for the first prize had nothing to do with his performance.

He just wanted to savor the expressions of utter disappointment on the faces of those who didn't win the grand prize.

however.

But here he met that dead-eyed boy!

As expected, Stand users are attracted to each other.

The moment he saw Hachiman, Takeo Koyasu's resentment at being fired from the arcade and his obsessive competitiveness burst forth like a spring.
