Does gravity make me stronger?

I will protect Haneoka Academy.

...

Hachiman was certainly unaware of the conversation that took place in the office; to him, it was just a minor incident, not even worthy of being discussed after dinner.

After school, Hachiman did not report to his club. During exam week, all clubs would stop their activities, and the record club was no exception.

Of course, Hachiman didn't really want to get along with that strangely behaving department head either.

He felt a little empty inside because he hadn't been to his office in a long time. He figured it was probably because he hadn't been sleeping much lately and his heart rate was irregular.

This afternoon, he went to the Su Shi family home in Nagasaki as agreed, and had already confirmed with Line that Su Shi's parents would be working today and would not be home until at least 9 p.m.

Therefore, the home is safe for the time being.

As Hachiman stepped out of the elevator, he pushed open the heavy security door of the Nagasaki Sue family home as usual, and then, unexpectedly, was embraced by a pair of warm arms around his neck.

Is it Nagasaki Motoyo?

No, that guy shouldn't be that bold.

Who could it be?

Let me see your true colors!

Just as Hachiman was about to look up, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sensation on his face.

"Um...uh..."

Damn it, where did this facehugger come from? It's so big, so soft, and as bouncy as dough.

Hachiman unconsciously tightened his abdomen and bent over.

"You must be Hachiman, right? Motoyo often talks about you to me."

A mature woman I'd never seen before was wearing a tight-fitting office lady uniform. Beneath the gray bodysuit were a pair of long legs encased in black stockings, and at that moment, she was pressed tightly against Hachiman.

"mom!"

Realizing something was wrong, Nagasaki Motoyo rushed out of the room, only to find the two of them embracing at the door.

[Husband is currently committing a crime!]

The system's comment made Hachiman, who was lost in the embrace of the mature woman, shudder. He immediately broke free from her embrace, quickly straightened his posture, and bowed slightly, saying, "Excuse me, I came to the wrong door."

“???” Nagasaki Motoyo.

【???】system.

No, the system needs to label what you're saying, is it just padding the word count?

“You’ve come to the right place. This is the Nagasaki family home, the place where Suze lives,” Suze’s mother said with a smile, her maternal glow surpassing even that of her own daughter.

Of course, she is Su Shi's mother after all (laughs).

"Come in quickly, Hikigaya!" Soseki's mother said warmly.

"..."

Hachiman looked into the doorway and saw Nagasaki Motoyo standing in the entrance hall, looking completely lost and disoriented, like a broken toy.

【Kanasimi Lane】

For some reason, a mournful melody drifted over.

Please don't play random background music!

Realizing he had missed his best chance to escape, Hachiman finally gave up, greeted the mother and daughter inside the door properly, and then entered the room with the help of his mother, Suze.

Upon entering, Hachiman discovered some big news.

[What big news? Is it possible that Su Shi's breasts are actually bigger than her mother's?]

Get out of here!

Then tell me.

Motoyo Nagasaki has a different hair color than her mother.

【Um, what's wrong?】

This suggests that Motoyo Nagasaki inherited more of her father's genes, and under these circumstances, her children might also inherit more of their father's appearance, so...

So? You've even thought of a name for your child?

　"..."

Hachiman decided it was pointless to argue with the system.

The living room in the apartment was the same as the day before yesterday, with no changes in the furnishings. However, Su Shi's mother, who was a little too excited, made the overall atmosphere a bit more lively.

However, in a sense, the presence of Suze's mother also helped Hachiman avoid the awkwardness of being alone with a man and a woman in a room.

"What does Hachiman want to eat, peaches, apples, or...?" Before her mother could utter any suggestive words, Nagasaki Motoyo yelled and shoved her into the master bedroom.

　"Mom, I need to study with Hachiman. Can you go back to your room first?"

　"Well, I also want to talk to Hachiman."

"no!"

"Then you can go to your bedroom. Mom is still working in the living room."

“…” Nagasaki Motoyo fell silent.

If she weren't afraid of the photos in her room being discovered, she would also want to go to her own room...

Ultimately, this situation is none of her mother's fault. Why did she sneak home without saying a word? Wouldn't that interfere with her work?

Hurry up and get back to work!

"Alright, alright, Mom's going back to her bedroom to work. Call me if you two need anything."

Su Shi's mother teased him, waved to Hachiman in a friendly manner, and returned to her bedroom with a big smile.

After she left, Nagasaki Motoyo apologized somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Hachiman-kun, you must have found this amusing. My mother went home unexpectedly today, so..."

"Oh, it's nothing." Hachiman said it was nothing, but he had actually made up his mind that he would definitely go to outside study sessions in the future.

Su Shi's mother is so outgoing and friendly, who can stand it?

And so, the two took out their textbooks and began their afternoon lessons.

During the break, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly asked, "I heard that the entrance exam for Haneoka Academy this year will be very difficult?"

This was information she obtained from Chihaya Aine.

"Ah, yes." Hachiman nodded, saying somewhat nonchalantly, "But it shouldn't be too difficult, since with your guidance, I'm confident I'll do well."

Hachiman's unintentional praise struck a chord with Nagasaki Motoyo.

"I didn't do anything, it's just that Hachiman studied hard on his own," Nagasaki Motoyo said happily in a high-pitched voice.

I'm trying?

Keep up the good work!

Hachiman has spent a lot of time studying during this period, but he only scratches the surface, aiming only for a passing grade.

However, the Nagasaki Motoko test was a complete mess. Sometimes, even very late at night, Hachiman would receive new test points synchronized from the system, and even some knowledge points for senior high school students were synchronized.

He had reason to suspect that Nagasaki Motoyo had been studying all the time these past few days, except for eating and sleeping.

In addition, after several days of in-depth experience with the synchronization capabilities, a previously unnoticed flaw has come to light.

High gravity values ​​can result in high synchronization rates, but since it's not 100 gravity values, the synchronization rate cannot reach 100%, so sometimes knowledge cannot be fully synchronized.

For example, it's like counting. From one to two, after two comes three, but due to probability, sometimes after two comes four.

One knowledge point was missing, which sometimes made Hachiman a little confused when doing problems, and he had to go through the missing knowledge point himself.

Regardless, synchronization ability is extremely important and deserves a regular season MVP award.

"Your dean of students is quite famous; even people outside the school have heard of him." For some reason, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly mentioned Umekawa Kuko.

"You guys in Tsuki no Mori have heard about Haneoka Academy?" Hachiman asked in surprise.

"Of course, gossip spreads fastest among students. I heard that your dean of students had more than ten students drop out a few years ago."

“S…”

Hachiman inhaled. It was something he hadn't taken seriously before, but after Nagasaki Motoyo reminded him, he felt a little scared.

Is that Mei Chuan Kuzi really targeting me?

Why?

Hachiman racked his brains but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. Could it be that his confession back then was exposed?

But in that incident, he did nothing on the surface, so it was impossible for him to leave any evidence.

Or is Mei Chuan Kuzi simply trying to make an example of someone to warn others?

That's good, that should be it.

It's not incomprehensible that the defenders of this traditional girls' school would dislike male students, and this approach can also serve as a good form of protest.

But now, he's not so easy to bully.

Chapter 84, Page 083: Is the passing grade really that far away? (3.5K)

"I'll handle this. Trust me, no, trust yourself. Aren't you my teacher?" Hachiman said with unexpected firmness.

[As expected of a T0-level confident Hachiman, so cool!]

His words put Nagasaki Motoyo at ease.

'Hachiman is right. He's been working so hard lately, he should have no problem passing the midterms.'

"Then let's study hard!"

"it is good."

The two didn't say anything more and started studying the problem again.

When it was almost time, Hachiman said in advance, "How about we call it a day? I have something to do tonight, so I'll head back first."

"Hey, aren't you staying?"

Since that day when they stayed for dinner, it had become a routine for the two of them to eat together after studying, which is why Nagasaki Motoyo was a little puzzled.

Is it because of Mom? But actually, I also want Mom to meet Hachiman-kun, though not in the way you just did.

Why do you want your mom to see me? I'm not her son...

Hachiman thought to himself, Nagasaki Motoyo is great in every way, but she never considered his feelings of being a dependent.

"Let's just let it go for today. Please apologize to Auntie on my behalf."

Hachiman grabbed his schoolbag and fled towards the door, afraid that if he lingered even a moment longer, his mother, Suze, would find him in the bedroom.

Is this some kind of Resident Evil movie?

That's right, as everyone knows, you can't defeat the tyrant without getting the RPG.

Su Shi's mother: ?

Fortunately, Suze's mother did not appear in the living room until Hachiman left. About half an hour later, the mother, who should have been at work, walked out of the bedroom, looking somewhat sleepy.

"Mom, were you sleeping just now?"

"Yeah, I've been sleeping too late lately... Hey, where's Hachiman?"

Su Shi's mother looked around in surprise, wondering where her own big Hachiman Hikigaya was.

Then, she looked at her daughter: Su Shi, is there something wrong with your play this time?

"Hachigaya has already left, Mom, it's all your fault!" Su Shi said reproachfully.

"Blame me?"

Su Shi's mother tilted her head and said, "It is indeed my fault. I will never see Hachiman again, and I will not attend your wedding."

"mom!"

Nagasaki Motoyo blushed, said something, and then fled back to her room at lightning speed without looking back.

Watching her daughter's retreating figure, Su Shi's mother shrugged helplessly: "The child's grown up, I can't control her anymore..."
