Does gravity make me stronger?

Xiangzi's boyfriend?

A heavy thought flashed through Nagasaki Motoyo's mind, and she herself didn't realize why the thought was so suffocating.

No.

If Xiangzi has a boyfriend, she'll be even less likely to focus on Crychic.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

In order to revive Crychic, Xiangzi absolutely cannot have a boyfriend.

At least not now.

Since the two only flashed past in front of an office building, they disappeared before Nagasaki Motoyo could catch up.

To confirm their relationship, Nagasaki Motoyo waited for them nearby every day after school at the same time.

Finally, she got what she was waiting for.

After some investigation, she learned the boy's name—Bi Qiku.

The other party was clearly very vigilant and did not reveal any more information. However, after probing him, Nagasaki Motoyo basically determined that he was probably not Shoko's boyfriend.

but.

Xiangzi did seem to care a lot about Bi Qi's suffering.

Does that mean they're more than friends but less than lovers?

That remains to be seen.

In addition, through a certain pink-haired girl, Nagasaki Motoyo learned an important piece of information.

Is Hikiko Hachiman still Takamatsu Akari's deskmate?

He not only had connections with Xiangzi, but also with Deng.

A plan immediately popped into Nagasaki Motoyo's mind.

of course.

The prerequisite is to cultivate a good relationship with the Belgian companies.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Motoyo shook off her earlier gloom and strode over.

...

"Biqi Ku...is he really Biqi Ku?"

When Hachiman looked up, the first thing that caught his eye wasn't Komachi's cute face, but a pair of long, chestnut-yellow hair that bounced up and down.

And the glaring number hanging above his head—62.

Motoyo Nagasaki, the girl I met by chance a few days ago on my way home from get off work.

No, it's more accurate to say we met by chance rather than to say we knew each other.

At that moment, she was approaching him with elegant steps, her round-toed leather shoes making a clattering sound.

[What the hell? There are so many people at the station, how could you possibly hear anything? You dead foot fetishist, host, are you some kind of porridge-like idiot?]

"..."

Ignoring the system's complaints, Hachiman responded with a cold "Hello."

"Hey~ What a coincidence, I've run into Hikikomori here. Want to hang out?"

At this point, if you answer the other person's question directly, you will inevitably be drawn into their rhythm.

Motoyo Nagasaki is an oddball; who knows what she'll do next?

Furthermore, Hachiman does not want to be disturbed by others.

therefore.

"Actually... I have something to take care of."

"Something's up..."

Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a moment, then a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Sure enough, Biqi Ku was somewhat resistant to himself.

Is there something she did wrong?

Hachiman didn't care at all about what Nagasaki Motoyo was thinking; he was just very annoyed that the number had suddenly jumped from 62 to 64.

At the same time, I'm also a little excited.

If there's a way to lower Nagasaki Motoyo's gravity, there should be a reward, right?

[I'm only Silver rank, why are you asking me?]

"..."

[Fine, since the host is asking me in tears, I'll mercifully tell you, yes, it will happen, but the reward threshold will be relatively higher this time.]

Wait a minute, who's crying?

but.

The threshold has increased? Does this mean that simply reducing gravity by 20 points will no longer trigger the reward?

This makes sense, otherwise wouldn't he be able to repeatedly farm rewards from one person?

Hachiman pondered for a moment, then silently nodded.

At this time.

"Onii-chan, guess who I am!"

A pair of smooth, warm little hands covered Hachiman's eyes.

This smell...!

"It's Komachi! You added Komachi to the rice!"

"Hi, this is Komachi, the cutest girl in the Hikigaya family!"

"Waaaaah, I miss you so much, Komachi."

Hachiman turned around and suddenly hugged his sister who was standing behind him, completely forgetting about any reward.

"Okay, okay, Onii-chan, there are so many people here, I'm so shy."

Being hugged by her older brother in front of so many people made Komachi shy, and a cherry-red blush rose on her round cheeks.

but.

She didn't dislike this feeling.

"Oh my, is this Hikiko's sister?"

Nagasaki Motoyo watched the interaction between the brother and sister with a smile.

She truly hadn't expected that someone as gloomy as Hikiko Hachiman would have such a cute younger sister.

but.

Judging from Hachiman's behavior, could Riku be a siscon?

Thinking this, Nagasaki Motoyo's gaze toward Hachiman became somewhat sharp.

Am I locked out?

Hachiman felt inexplicably guilty and secretly observed his surroundings.

Soon, Nagasaki Motoyo's scrutinizing gaze fell upon him, making it difficult for him to look directly at her.

So he chose to run away.

"Komachi, let's go! Where do we want to go?"

"Sigh, should we just ignore it?"

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled awkwardly, but the upturned corners of her mouth were clearly devoid of any warmth.

This is what is called a forced smile.

Chapter 7 007 Nagasaki Motoyo: I'm getting a little annoyed.

"You idiot oniichan, how can you leave someone else standing there?"

Komachi gave Hachiman a stern lecture, then looked at Nagasaki Motoyo with a slightly apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, my silly older brother has caused you trouble. I'm Komachi Hikigaya, nice to meet you."

Hikigaya?

Oh dear, they didn't tell me my real name.

Upon learning the truth, Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes grew even colder.

"Hello, my name is Nagasaki Motoyo."

"Um, just asking, what's your relationship with Onii-chan? You're not boyfriend and girlfriend, are you?"

Is Nagasaki Motoyo my girlfriend?

Who spread these rumors? Soldiers, do not let them harm me!

"No," Hachiman answered quickly.

Nagasaki Motoyo initially wanted to deny it, but hearing Hachiman's straightforward answer made her a little unhappy.

It's confirmed.

Hachiman Hikigaya is an annoying guy.

"I didn't ask you, you idiot, you moron, Hachiman!"

"Hey, is this meme really that funny?"

"How should I put it? Right now, Hachiman and I are just casual acquaintances?"

Although she disliked Hachiman Hikigaya, Nagasaki Motoyo deliberately kept a hint in her words for the sake of future arrangements.

We've only met briefly now, and who knows what the future holds?

That's what she wanted to express to Komachi.

As if in response to Nagasaki Motoyo's words, Komachi gave a knowing "Oh".

"Hey~ Speaking of which, I'm sorry to have troubled you the other day, Hachiman-kun. By the way, Hachiman-kun, would you like to go to the LiveHouse together tomorrow?"

Tomorrow, LiveHouse, how come I didn't know about this?

Have you forgotten that admission ticket?

It was only after a friendly reminder from the system that Hachiman remembered this matter.

Wait a minute, is Nagasaki Motoyo inviting him to a performance?

Would anyone refuse such a great opportunity?

"No, absolutely not..."

Before he could even open his mouth, Komachi covered Hachiman's mouth tightly with her hand.

"Onii-chan will go."

"I...don't have it..."

"Onii-chan, shut up!"

Komachi let go of her hand, covering her forehead in great annoyance.

"At this rate, Komachi seriously doubts whether Onii-chan will be able to get married smoothly in the future."

"Well, if that doesn't work, there's always Komachi, right? We'll be together forever, okay? That last sentence really got a high score from Onii-chan."

"gross."

Komachi frowned, looking at Hachiman with a disgusted expression.

Although it was unclear what promise Hachiman made with this beautiful young lady named Nagasaki Motoyo, her sister-in-law, Radar, told her that she absolutely could not let her brother break his promise!
