Does gravity make me stronger?

Ignoring Shiina Ritsuki's complaints, she led Rakuna straight to Aine's location, then opened her mouth wide.

"Ah~"

"Lanna-chan, wait a minute, I'll give you some candy."

Like a seasoned zookeeper, Aine skillfully took a candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and fed it to Yoru Nai.

This has gradually become a part of the daily routine in the training room recently.

Yoro is not scheming; she simply wants music and is also very fond of sweets.

Once you understand this, it becomes much easier to get along with her.

"good to eat."

Yoro Nai moved her cherry lips slightly, chewing on the gummy candy. As the sweet fruity flavor spread in her mouth, she revealed a happy smile.

"Hmph~ Please call me the strongest Pokémon trainer." Ai-chan proudly touched her nose.

"What is Pokémon?"

"Pokémon refers to cute and powerful little creatures."

The two of them were asking and answering each other in a silly way, which left Shiina Riki, who was standing to the side, speechless.

You two, stop fooling around, okay?

Looking at it this way, their band definitely needs someone to train them.

Thanks to his teammates' contrast, Shiina Riki suddenly realized that Motoyo's suggestion was actually quite valuable.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, the heavy soundproof door was pushed open again. Shiina Tatsuki looked over immediately and then said in a cold voice.

"Su Shi, you're too slow."

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

Nagasaki Motoyo entered with a smile, followed by a slightly hunched boy.

"Hachigaya-kun!" x2

"Interesting man."

"???"

Shiina Riki slowly typed out a question mark.

Although Nagasaki Motoyo has already said that Akari and Aine know each other, what about Rakuna?

Am I the only one in the whole band who doesn't know him?

Are you isolating me?

Lost in thought, Shiina Tatsuki frowned and looked over with a serious expression, but Hachiman immediately looked away, which made her a little angry.

Cowardice will not be tolerated!

"Are you the Hachiman Hikigaya that Su Shi mentioned?" Shiina Riki asked in a deep voice, her first impression of Hachiman not being very good.

"Uh..."

His gaze, sharp as a dagger, pierced straight at Hachiman, making him feel suffocated.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only stand there awkwardly. Then, feeling a sense of retreat, he slowly moved towards the door.

"Um, I forgot to do something, should I leave for a bit?"

"That wouldn't be good, Hachiman, would you like me to go with you?"

Sensing his intentions, Nagasaki Motoyo used Thunder Bagua to knock Hachiman out of his fourth gear.

"...No need, it's really not important, hahaha."

Hachiman chuckled, touched his cheek, and immediately unleashed a powerful memory restoration technique.

"Ah."

The strongest creature on land, sea, and air, Nagasaki Motoyo, has not suffered a single tear in his rear today!

Let me do some sit-ups, then I'll get you when I'm on the fifth gear!

"Um, speaking of which, what exactly did you call me here for?" Hachiman blinked his dead fish eyes honestly.

"I hope Hikigaya can join our band," Nagasaki Motoyo said without beating around the bush.

"You've helped us a lot behind the scenes during this time, haven't you? If it weren't for Hachiman, our performance last time would definitely have been a failure."

"Wait a minute, what did this man do?" Shiina Riki, who knew nothing about the truth, interrupted.

Meeting her puzzled gaze, Nagasaki Motoyo explained, "First, it was Hachiman who introduced Aine to the guitar teacher. Then, Hachiman kept encouraging Akari when she was feeling down. Also, he's always been supportive of me..."

Before he finished speaking, both Takamatsu Akari and Aine nodded in agreement.

“And me.” Kaoru said, her mouth full of candy, her words muffled. “If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to play the songs I want to play.”

No, what's it to you?

Shiina Riki glared fiercely at Kaname Rakuna, then demanded confirmation from the person involved: "Did you do all of these things?"

Hachiman nodded silently in response.

Yes, I did it.

Can you pay me some salary?

"Well then, thank you for your help before."

Having understood the ins and outs of the matter, Shiina Tatsuki's tone softened slightly, and his gaze towards Hachiman was no longer so aggressive.

She could say thank you, but when it came to joining the team, she insisted on her own opinion.

"However, I still disagree. A team leader? That's just too unbelievable!"

At that moment, Nagasaki Motoyo casually extended her right hand and pointed to her phone.

Why send a text message when you're face-to-face?

Shiina Tatsuki opened Line in a daze.

Motoyo Nagasaki: If I leave the band, will you find another bassist?

Shiina Tatsuki: What do you mean?

Nagasaki Motoyo: Answer my question first.

Shiina Tatsuki: If you leave, I'll find another bassist to replace you.

Without any hesitation, even in front of Nagasaki Motoyo, Shiina Tatsuki replied without hesitation.

The party who should have felt offended instead wore a satisfied smile.

Yes, that's only natural, because for Shiina Tatsuki, all she needs is a light...

but.

She asked that question on purpose because she already knew the answer.

Everything she's doing right now is to remind Shiina Tatsuki of the importance of the light in her heart, and to prepare for what's to come.

Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her eyes and tapped her fingers on the keyboard.

Motoyo Nagasaki: So, I also hope you can accept Hikigaya joining the band.

Shiina Tatsuki: These are two different things.

Motoyo Nagasaki: What would you do if I told you that Akari would leave sooner or later if Hachiman didn't join?

Shiina Tatsuki: Why?

Motoyo Nagasaki: Everyone else agreed to Hikigaya's request to join the team. If you are the only one who refuses, what will the Akari think?

Shiina Tatsuki: The lamp isn't that kind of person.

Shiina Riki is right. Akari won't have any different opinions about Hachiman just because she refused to let him join the team.

In the past, even when she scolded Xiangzi to his face, she never offended Deng.

So she was very certain of this.

The lamp must love me.

but.

However, she inadvertently exposed another weakness to Su Shi.

Nagasaki Motoyo: Do ​​you know why Crychic disbanded?

Shiina Tatsuki: It's all because of Shoko. She left the band on her own initiative, which is why we've become what we are today.

Nagasaki Motoyo: You're right, it's Shoko's fault. So if you don't agree, I'll leave on my own.

???

Could it be that Su Shi is planning to replicate Xiangzi's actions and destroy the band that he finally managed to put together, all for that man?

"Su Shi, how could you..."

Shiina Riki abruptly raised her head, her purple eyes revealing naked hostility, but Nagasaki Motoyo maintained her gentle smile, as if their conversation had never happened.

Shiina Riki covered his mouth in frustration, staring intently at Suze, unable to think of a solution for the time being.

As Motoyo Nagasaki said, once someone leaves the band, this already fragile group will immediately fall apart.

Especially those who leave, who still act as the glue that holds the team together.

It seems my true colors have been seen through.

Shiina Riki's reaction naturally did not escape Nagasaki Motoyo's keen eye. Seeing that the other party's aura had dropped a bit, she felt relieved.

√- - - -

In the first match of the final, it seemed she had a slight advantage.

This has never been such a wonderful start! Cheers, cheers...applause for me!

The battle of divine senses between the two powerful Golden Core cultivators finally came to a conclusion, leaving everyone present dumbfounded and confused. At the foot of Flying Peak, only the junior sister, Chihaya Aine, who had just entered the Qi Refining stage, stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"Hey you two over there, could you please stop whispering?"

The two, lost in their own thoughts, finally snapped out of it.

"Excuse me." Nagasaki Motoyo continued to look at the others.

After dealing with Shiina Tatsuki, the radical, the others are just minor figures. Besides, these three might have been planning to drag Hachiman down with them all along.

"Tokyo-chan, Aine-chan, what do you think?"

“I agree!” Ai-yin replied without hesitation.

Aine-chan is awesome, no wonder she's the girl I've chosen...

Nagasaki Motoyo's smile widened: "Okay, then what about the lamp?"

“As for me…” Takamatsu Akari lowered her head, glanced tentatively at Hachiman, and slowly said, “I also hope that Hikigaya can join, but I still hope that he can think it through.”

Don't say things that are detrimental to unity.

Nagasaki Motoyo interrupted with a stern face, "Tokyo, speak your mind, be frank."

"I..."

Unable to stand seeing Hikari being bullied by his teammates, Shiina Tatsuki stepped forward and asked, "Hey, you guy named Hachiman, what are your own thoughts?"

"I?"

Hachiman quickly waved his hand, "I have a lot of things to do, so I can't..."

"Wait a moment."

Before he could finish speaking, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately followed up with her own attack.

Based on her understanding of Hachiman, she knew that without an absolutely legitimate reason, she couldn't persuade him to join.

However, that's where the trouble lies. She's been thinking for almost a week, but she still can't come up with a reason that would make Hachiman absolutely have to join.

Therefore, she had no choice but to take an unconventional approach.

"Hachiman, please join our band."
