Does gravity make me stronger?

As a master of human observation, Hachiman knew that his charm was not enough to attract Toyokawa Shoko to spend money and time on him.

Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that Toyokawa Shoko was simply trying to use this opportunity to start a conversation.

However, aside from being colleagues, the only thing they had in common was that they came from the same school.

I don't have the value of delving deeper into Toyokawa Shoko's work.

Considering the sudden change in address just now.

Therefore, the answer is obvious.

"Um, Toyokawa-kun."

Hachiman paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"I don't have many strengths, except that I'm very tight-lipped... so you don't need to worry about me."

Tangent

New author, new book, I'd love to hear that reader's comment... like adding it to your favorites!

Chapter 3 003 Nagasaki Motoyo is a Walking Black Hole

This wasn't Toyokawa Shoko's first day working here.

However, due to the seating arrangement, this was the first time she had met this employee named Hachiman Hikigaya.

The moment she saw the other person, Toyokawa Shoko's heart jumped into her throat.

It's a type of stand-in!

No, they are students from the same school.

There are very few boys at Haneoka Academy, so she knows almost every one of them.

Hachiman Hikigaya, Class 1-C, is in the same class as Akari...

Toyokawa Shoko kept her part-time job a secret from her classmates because she didn't want others to know about her family's dramatic decline in financial situation.

Of all the people she knew, only her childhood sweetheart knew the exact details of her family situation.

Now, Hachiman Hikigaya could very well become another one.

No, we must nip this dangerous seed in the bud.

In addition, this customer service company was carefully selected by Toyokawa Shoko, located far from Haneoka Academy, and its hourly wage is quite generous compared to other companies in the same position.

Therefore, she did not want to give up this job.

However, if a student from the same school works next door, it's inevitable that they will one day discover their true identities.

therefore.

She wanted to take the initiative to contact Hachiman Hikigaya.

However, what I didn't expect was...

The other party not only recognized her, but also guessed her intentions.

This boy is actually quite smart.

Shoko Toyokawa, whose thoughts had been guessed by the other party, didn't mince words and praised him directly: "Hachigaya-kun, you're very smart."

"It's just simple reasoning."

As Hachiman watched the numbers above Toyokawa Shoko's head begin to decrease, he realized that the other party should calm down.

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath and put on a serious expression: "Hachigaya-kun, I actually hope you won't reveal that I'm working here."

really.

Although he had a rough idea of ​​the outcome, Hachiman felt absolutely no sadness.

I never expected to be invited to a concert by a girl from my year!

I promise you.

"Here, take this."

Is this considered hush money?

Hachiman looked at the admission ticket that Toyokawa Shoko had forcefully shoved into his hand.

Toyokawa Shoko once again put on her sweet smiling mask, placing her hands on her knees like a polite young lady.

"Hmm~ You are free to use your imagination."

"Actually, it's okay if you don't need this."

With that, Hachiman put his ticket into his pocket.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko remained silent.

But the next second, he returned the admission ticket.

Hey, what's wrong?

Did he change his mind?

The thought of the other person possibly talking nonsense at school made Toyokawa Shoko's stomach clench as if it were being squeezed tightly.

She absolutely must not let the other party reveal that she works outside, otherwise her last shred of dignity... will be trampled into the ground and left with nothing.

"Hachiman, if you like, you can..."

No, what I mean is...

Hachiman's hesitant and reluctant manner made Toyokawa Shoko very anxious.

Can it be exchanged for cash?

"Uh?"

Admittedly, Toyokawa Shoko was stunned by these words.

"Ah, don't get me wrong, I actually don't have much of an artistic talent, so..."

Noticing Toyokawa Shoko's strange gaze, Hachiman awkwardly began to explain.

"Pfft."

Toyokawa Shoko laughed, even laughing until tears streamed down her face.

Under the heavy pressure of life, she hadn't laughed so freely in a long time, and this feeling of relief was even a little addictive to her.

What's going on? So this is what kind of person Hachiman is. That's quite interesting.

the other side.

Xiangzi's cheerful smile also infected Hachiman.

Shoko Toyokawa's smile shone like a jewel, as if the whole world was filled with warmth because of her.

but.

Was what I just said really that funny? You're making me look really silly.

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

Toyokawa Shoko wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, composed herself, and said seriously.

"So, you need cash?"

"Ah, um."

Even though he was short of money, Hachiman didn't make a fuss. After returning the admission ticket to Shoko, he also received cash of the same value.

"Then, see you tomorrow."

"Oh."

As she watched Hachiman leave, Toyokawa Shoko's smile gradually faded, though she remained in a very good mood.

Although one student found out about his part-time job, surprisingly, he didn't feel any resentment.

"Hachiman Hikigaya... is a strange person."

...

[Idiot host, why didn't you ask for that girl's contact information?]

Why do I need someone's contact information?

Hachiman inwardly grumbled.

His system seems a bit timid, always hoping that something will happen between him and others.

[I'm so angry, you idiot, you blockhead, Hachiman!]

Hey, isn't "Hachiman" an insult?

He argued with the system as he walked toward the bus stop.

The bus goes directly to his current student dormitory.

Sitting quietly in his seat, waiting for the bus to arrive, Hachiman idly observed the passersby around him.

“14...16...8...87...11！”

Wait a minute, 87?!

For a moment, Hachiman thought there was something wrong with his eyes. Was he about to awaken his Sharingan?

He quickly rubbed his eyes.

Take a closer look.

A girl with long chestnut-yellow hair had a huge, exaggerated number on her head.

System, help! There's a woman here whose gravity is about to exceed the limit!

[Please be aware that a stellar-mass black hole is approaching; take precautions to avoid it.]

Stop saying such irresponsible things, just tell me what to do!

[Think more, host. That's all I can tell you. Think more.]

Thinking what?

System, hello, speak to me.

Okay)))))))

[Natural Selection, move forward four!]

Hachiman naturally didn't understand the term "advance four," but he knew that this unreliable system had probably run away before him.

What makes the situation even more absurd is...

The girl seemed to be walking towards him.

"Are you a student from Haneoka Academy? Do you have a moment right now? Could you do a quick survey for me?"

"Can we go find someone else?"

Hachiman maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but he was actually so nervous that he was biting his hand.

"It won't take much time." Even after being rejected, the girl still wore a warm smile.

87-> 91

Where did these flammable and explosive materials come from?!

Realizing that refusing the other party might have serious consequences, Hachiman changed his mind and said, "The simple answer is yes."

"Great."

The girl happily clasped her hands together. "Oh, right, let me introduce myself. My name is Nagasaki Motoyo, and I'm a student at Tsukimori Academy. If you're worried, here's my student ID."

He had long heard of the reputation of Tsukimori Academy.

Along with Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Education School and Shuchiin, it is known as one of the three great schools of Tokyo. However, unlike the other two, Tsukimori Academy is a very traditional aristocratic girls' school.

Students who can study in the Moon Forest are either rich or noble.

Therefore, the fact that children like these would obediently come out to conduct social surveys is itself problematic.
