Does gravity make me stronger?

Are you trying to clean this up together? You're after someone's body, how disgusting!

Hachiman agreed, saying that although it was going to be publicized, it was still a matter of personal privacy until the other two girls gave their consent.

Don't ask him why he's so cautious; the answer is from boxing.

"No need, I can do it myself."

'Why is Hachiman doing this...'

Jun Otani seemed a little unhappy. Hachiman glanced at him speechlessly, while the other man continued talking to himself.

"By the way, why does Ochako go to bed so early? She went to sleep before eight o'clock."

He showed the chat history on his phone, where it was clear that the two had only exchanged a few words the previous night before Ochako Hana ended the conversation by saying she needed to rest.

"..."

[That really hits home.]

Hachiman couldn't think of any way to comfort him, after all, he had experienced this before, and if someone pointed it out to him directly, he would feel even more embarrassed.

"So why is it Ochako-san?" he changed the subject.

"Of course it's because it looks good."

Such a straightforward reason...

However, Hachiman couldn't say anything about it; everyone has a love for beauty.

But he couldn't bring himself to bombard girls with advances just because of their looks; in fact, he found it a bit inappropriate.

Hopefully, Jun Otani didn't do that.

"I'm going to Class B first. Good luck to you."

After seeing Otani Jun off, Hachiman headed towards Class B, but he turned back halfway there.

Going to other classes to openly and honestly find girls—that's something I just can't do!

Then, he chose to send a message to Toyokawa Shoko.

Line, the greatest invention of the 21st century!

Hachiman: Good morning, Toyokawa-kun. I don't know if Mr. Tadokoro has told you, but the class needs to organize and promote the internship materials from last weekend. Do you have time at noon?

A few seconds later, Toyokawa Shoko replied to the message.

Toyokawa Shoko: Okay, I understand. Shall we go to the cafeteria together for lunch? Also, there's something else I want to tell you.

Hachiman: Okay, see you at noon.

Toyokawa Shoko: See you at noon

At noon, Hachiman went to the cafeteria, bought some bread and milk, and then found a seat to wait for Toyokawa Shoko.

Three or four minutes later, Toyokawa Shoko and Ochako appeared side by side at the cafeteria entrance, each carrying their lunch.

"here."

To avoid attracting too much attention, Hachiman slightly raised his hand.

Shoko Toyokawa, who was still searching in the crowd, quickly noticed Hachiman and happily walked over.

4-> 3

14-> 20

The former is Toyokawa Shoko's consistently stable gravity value, which has even decreased slightly.

The latter was Ochako Hana's, which clearly indicated that the girl seemed to have encountered something unpleasant.

Good afternoon, Hachiman Hikigaya.

"it is good."

"Are you just having bread for lunch? Won't that be enough?"

Toyokawa Shoko didn't mention the workplace internship at first, but instead asked with concern.

"For a boy, one loaf of bread probably isn't enough, right? I can share some with Hachiman."

"No, I'm not hungry."

Hachiman almost mistook his inner thoughts for spoken words again, and quickly corrected himself.

In addition, to avoid making mistakes by saying the wrong thing, he temporarily turned off his inner voice.

"Let's talk while we eat. This is the booklet I received. It contains photos we took together and a report I wrote. Also, I heard from the teacher that you wrote another one separately?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Toyokawa Shoko apologized.

"It's okay. Can you share this in your class later? I'll help with organizing it."

“Okay, but doesn’t Class C need publicity?” Hachiman shook his head at this.

"I have a part-time job scheduled for this afternoon, so I might only be available around lunchtime. What about you guys?"

"I also can."

"Me too."

Both women agreed with Hachiman's arrangement.

"By the way, are there any photos inside that you can't show to others?"

The two women glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"Uh, no, right?"

"Let's eat first and then talk... By the way, didn't you just say you had something to tell me?"

"Yes, that's right."

Shoko Toyokawa looked at Ochako Hana with a troubled expression, as if trying to confirm her thoughts.

"It's my request."

Ochako Hana swallowed the octopus sausage in her bowl, wiped her mouth, and said very formally.

Hachiman looked over and saw that when she arrived, her bento box was full, but now there was hardly any left.

Where did this rice-cooking machine come from?

"I'm being harassed."

"?" Hachiman almost choked on his food.

"Well, it's not that dramatic. It's just that Ochako doesn't want anyone to disturb her studies during her three years of high school..." Toyokawa Shoko explained for her.

"Is there any difference?" Ochako Hana pressed.

"Hey..."

Whether to call it naivety or just plain stupidity, Toyokawa Shoko could only manage a fake smile to brush it off.

So who is it?

"Otani Jun".

"..."

Poor Mr. Otani, but I love watching Boiling Sheep get rejected by Pretty Sheep.

Do you have any quirks?

Moreover, Yucha Zihua isn't the kind of green tea like Pleasant Goat.

[That sounds like it, but wait, how do you know about the "Boy in the Sheep" meme?]

I saw it on YouTube.

After making a complaint about the system, Hachiman continued.

"Has Otani done anything bad? Like spamming text messages or something?"

Ochako thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No."

Did she physically harass you?

"No." Ochako Hana shook her head again.

It seems like it's just a one-sided crush on Otani Jun, and Ochako Hana doesn't like him, it's that simple.

"Why don't you just tell him directly?"

"I said so."

Then, Ochako Hana handed her phone to Hachiman, which contained their chat history.

Jun Otani: Ochako, you're so pretty. Are you free next weekend? Can we hang out together?

Ochako Hana: I need to study, I don't have time.

Jun Otani: What about the week after next? I'll treat you to bubble tea.

Ochako: None

Jun Otani: Does Ochako-san have someone she likes?

Ochako Hana: No, I need to study, could you please leave me alone?

Jun Otani: Hahaha, Ochako-san is really joking. What idiot would study at night?

Ochako: I

Jun Otani: Ochako-kun, are you going to the movies tomorrow?

"..."

Seeing this chat history, a heavy sense of suffocation washed over me.

----Cut line----

One more chapter today.

Chapter 43 043 This is my crime warning

[Hey, Lao Chun, they've made it so obvious, why are you still nagging?]

Mr. Que, even the system understands women's hearts better than you do.

Hey, what are you saying? The affection system and I are a recognized couple.

"..."

Of course, Hachiman doesn't really have the right to comment, after all, he went through all sorts of embarrassing things a year ago.

[Holy crap, Hachiman did it too?]

Yes, I did it.

Hachiman was immediately silenced.

However, he has grown up now, just like Shirou became Archer, and the "Recovery Caster" became the "Recovery Caster"... So how can you use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the official of the current dynasty!

An awkward smile appeared on his lips, followed by a light cough to compose himself.

"In this situation, if we just leave it alone, the other party should back down on their own."

As if recalling a bad experience, Hachiman added, "If the other party still ignores us, then we'll have to make things clear to their face. I hope you'll go easy on them then."

"Attack? I'm not going to hit him."

"..."

"What Hikigaya-san means is probably that Ochako-san should be considerate of the other person's feelings and not say anything too harsh," Toyokawa Shoko explained considerately.

"Oh, I understand now. Don't condemn it all at once; take it slow and steady."

"No, it was my fault for not expressing myself properly," Hachiman sighed.

"If you have feelings for Otani, then accept him, but..."

Boys are very simple creatures, especially high school boys.

Even a girl's slightest smile or kindness can lead them to misunderstand.

She's looking at me -> She must like me -> I'm going to confess -> Send it!
