Does gravity make me stronger?

Then, they met on the first floor and silently walked towards the place where they had confessed their feelings.

Toyokawa Shoko stared ahead, walking very slowly.

'I'm so nervous, what should I do? This is my first time witnessing a confession in person.'

me too!

Although it has nothing to do with him, if you're saying he's not nervous right now, you could say he's just putting on a brave face.

"Um, aren't you nervous, Hachiman?"

Why would you think that?

"Because you look very calm."

Unlike me, my palms are already sweating.

Hachiman subconsciously looked at Toyokawa Shoko's palms, but didn't see any sweat. He just thought her fair little hands were very pretty and wanted to touch them.

[Officer, there's a pervert here!]

Stop fooling around!

Hachiman withdrew his gaze and said leisurely, "I'm just expressionless."

"How could that be? Hachiman's expressions are quite rich."

For example, when she's happy, her ahoge (cowlick) will flutter around, and when she's sad, the corners of her mouth will droop slightly...

[Turns out she's a female pervert, never mind then.]

[Police officer: Hey kid! Husky pointing at someone.JPG]

"..."

Hachiman was surprised by how closely Toyokawa Shoko had observed him; he felt his face gradually heat up.

The two went to the back staircase on the second floor of the teaching building. From there, they could hear each other below without being seen by the people below.

This place is truly a haven for eavesdropping... no, a place of exceptional feng shui.

"This is fine then, Hachiman, what do you think!"

Toyokawa Shoko pointed into the distance, and Hachiman looked over and saw that Otani Jun was standing in the same spot, while his friend was hiding around the corner not far away.

About half a minute later, Ochako Hana slowly walked over.

Hachiman noticed that the gravity reading on her head had increased significantly compared to noon.

20-> 26

'Finally here? Now, we're here, about to go on!'

Jun Otani's thoughts were somewhat jumbled, and he appeared very nervous.

"Hey, Ochako-san, you've arrived!"

"I am coming."

Ochako looked at the other person calmly, her expression unchanged.

"On the other hand, what if I get rejected? With so many people watching, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing to be rejected?"

If you know it's embarrassing, then don't confess your feelings!

Hachiman covered his face, unable to bear watching any longer.

"I...I...I'm actually...I'm sorry, nothing's wrong, I'm sorry to bother you!"

After saying this, Jun Otani bowed to Ochako Hana and then prepared to leave.

And you, my friend, are truly a clown!

To be honest, Hachiman was also shocked by Otani Jun's actions.

He used to think that Otani Jun was his chuunibyou self, but now he regrets it. Even during his chuunibyou phase, he wasn't that clownish.

Like Hachiman, Otani Jun's friends in the distance were also covering their faces, looking disappointed and disappointed.

And this time.

"Ootani-kun, I'm sorry, I don't like you, so please don't bother me anymore."

Ochako Hana suddenly launched a direct attack!

Chapter 45 045 Hachiman: Am I that awesome?

Perhaps startled by Ochako's blunt rejection, Jun Otani froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time, and then started babbling incoherently as if he had lost his speech center.

"What... I don't quite understand... Hahaha."

"I've said what I needed to say. Goodbye."

Upon hearing this, Ochako Hana turned to leave.

On the second floor, Hachiman, as if sensing something, suddenly spoke to Toyokawa Shoko behind him.

"Toyokawa-kun, could you please bring Mr. Miyami over here? Oh, and make a lot of noise when you come back."

"Forehead?"

Although she didn't understand what Hachiman meant, seeing his determined eyes, Toyokawa Shoko did as he said.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

the other side.

"Wait a moment!"

Jun Otani lowered his head, his expression extremely unpleasant.

"What did you mean by those words? I didn't say I was going to confess. Who told you that? Was it Hachiman?"

“No, it’s just my own feeling,” Ochako Hana replied.

"Impossible, so that's how it is. Hachiman must have been talking badly about me behind my back, otherwise you wouldn't have suddenly rejected me. No wonder he acted so strangely today..."

"It's not Hachiman's fault... He's a good person, he's always been helping me."

Although Ochako Hana tried her best to deny it, her words were clearly pushing Hachiman into the fire.

Jun Otani, his face contorted with rage, said with some displeasure, "So what do you think of Hikigaya?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Ochako Hana replied seriously, "Hachiman is a very serious, responsible, and interesting boy."

'And she's a perfect match for Toyokawa-kun; they'd definitely become the best couple.'

Such heartfelt words sent chills down Hachiman's spine.

[As expected of the leader of the Baxiang Party's CP, still shipping them at a time like this.]

What should have been a perfectly normal compliment became, for Jun Otani at that moment, the key to breaking down his defenses.

"I knew it! It must be something Hachiman told you that's why you don't like me anymore, right?" Jun Otani gritted his teeth.

What's wrong with you?

[If someone doesn't like you, don't bite them like a mad dog. You don't even deserve this red nose!]

[Cao, I'm so cool for standing up for my host! I love it!]

If he hadn't said that last sentence, Hachiman would have almost been moved by the system.

"no."

Seeing the other party's fierce and menacing appearance, Ochako Hana was at a loss for what to do.

After observing for a while, Hachiman immediately rushed downstairs.

"Hey, Jun, it's Hachiman!"

Someone reminded Jun Otani, who glared angrily at him, only to meet Hachiman's exceptionally rotten gaze.

Jun Otani had never seen Hachiman with such a frightening look in his eyes before, and he instinctively took a step back before continuing.

"Hachiman, aren't you going to explain yourself?"

What do you mean by "explain"?

To be honest, if Jun Otani were to criticize Hachiman for having Ochako Hana reject him, he might feel somewhat guilty.

But reality is different. Jun Otani believed that Hachiman had taken the initiative to interfere, which is why Ochako Hana, who was originally interested in him, rejected his confession.

I laughed until I was numb.

Therefore, Hachiman felt nothing at all, and the last bit of sympathy he had for Otani Jun turned into contempt because of the previous haphazard attempt to shift the blame.

"Ochako and I are just ordinary friends...classmates, please don't misunderstand."

He still hunches over as always, but this appearance is unexpectedly provocative, at least in Jun Otani's eyes.

'Don't look down on me, Hachiman!'

If you were even slightly more rational, I would respect you...

To be honest, Hachiman didn't dislike Jun Otani at first, and he even wanted to get along well with him initially.

After all, he was the first boy in the class to talk to her, even if his intentions weren't pure.

However, the other party's behavior completely betrayed his good intentions.

I'm a little sad...

Don't be afraid, I'm here for you.

You should just forget about it...

"Let's go, Hikigaya-kun," Ochako suggested, indicating that they were leaving.

'You think you can just leave without explaining yourself properly?'

Upon hearing Otani Jun's thoughts, Hachiman instinctively shielded Ochako Hana.

"Don't go!"

Enraged, Jun Otani lunged forward.

samarium and then...

He fell to the ground in a quick, flat-lying position.

'What happened? Did I trip over something?'

Jun Hikigaya stared blankly at his feet and the ground, but couldn't see any suspicious pebbles on the ground.

Did I fall flat on my face?

Beside Z, Hachiman watched him nervously. If he hadn't heard Otani Jun's thoughts in time and activated Kyoka Suigetsu to interfere with Otani Jun's vision, he might have been tackled to the ground by Otani Jun.

After all, he was just a weakling who couldn't even kill a chicken.

As for whether Jun Otani will get hurt, that's none of his business.

Do you understand emergency evacuation?

"Chun, are you alright?"

The rest of the group ran up and helped the bewildered Jun Otani to his feet.

"I'm fine, I just tripped."

"That Hachiman kid is a real scoundrel, he even resorted to dirty tricks!"

"It was me... I mean, Hachiman, I misjudged you!" Jun Otani, who originally intended to say that he had tripped and fallen, directly shifted the blame.

“Hachiman didn’t do anything, he fell down on his own,” Ochako explained.

"you..."

Being scolded by Hikigaya for his nose was one thing, but being scolded by a girl made Jun Otani feel a sense of humiliation akin to that of a minotaur.

'You bastard Hachiman, you're actually a hidden minotaur!'

Watch your words, and don't make baseless accusations!

Jun Otani broke free from his companion's support and rushed forward like a madman, clenching his right fist and then swinging it forcefully.

Then...
