Does gravity make me stronger?

Ichi Hoshika casually found a seat, crossed her legs, and said, "I already know what Hongxia and the others said, but the story behind it isn't that simple. Tell me yourself, what exactly happened?"

"...It's nothing." Hachiman guiltily looked away, instinctively covering the small puddle on his chest, where Takamatsu Akari had fought with him.

Yiji Xingge:?

Seeing that Hachiman remained silent, Ijichi Seika sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation: "I'm telling you, you're at least an employee of our shop..."

Hachiman said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, if this has interfered with the normal operation of the performance hall, I will take responsibility."

"Hmph, then tell me, how exactly do you intend to take responsibility?"

For example, resigning... resigning...

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Ijichi Seika interrupted Hachiman with a serious expression, then sighed and said earnestly, "What I mean is, if anything happens, you can talk to me... Nijika and the others. Aren't you all a team?"

"Manager?" Hachiman looked up and suddenly felt that this woman, who was almost thirty, was radiant.

"You brat, were you thinking about something you shouldn't have just thought about..." Ijichi Hoshika clenched her fists again.

"No no no."

"Then tell me, what exactly happened?"

I want the real thing!

—Takamatsu Akari's words were still echoing in his ears, repeatedly stimulating Hachiman's cracked heart.

He wants the real thing too.

Feeling the turmoil in his heart, he couldn't help but reflect again on what he had done that afternoon.

Indeed, he misunderstood Nagasaki Motoyo's good intentions, both hoping and being disappointed on his own. But as Takamatsu Akari said, there were also people who genuinely cared about him.

His thoughtless actions that afternoon hurt those who cared about him, so he must pay the price and make amends.

But these are not things that can be easily told to others.

"Or maybe we should just forget about it...?"

Seeing the change in Hachiman's expression, Ijichi Seika didn't press further, simply shrugging: "Whatever, but you've already figured out a solution, haven't you?"

"probably."

"Fine, if you still have that sour face when you go out, believe me, I'll cut your salary."

"Never do that kind of thing!"

"Hmph, then straighten up and be more alert!"

"Manager."

"What's wrong?" Ijichi Seika asked, tilting her head.

Hachiman paused for a long time before finally managing to utter, "You sound like a teacher at our school, or no, you sound like someone from my dream."

"what?"

Ijichi Seika was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and placed her hand on Hachiman's shoulder, her wine-red eyes devoid of any luster as she gazed at him "gently."

"Just say you want to die..."

"sorry!!!"

Ijichi Hoshika lazily shifted her crossed legs, but unfortunately, she was wearing tight pants, so there was no chance of her exposing herself.

“I’m not a teacher at your school, so I’m not always the most talkative, but since she’s come all this way, it means she values ​​you a lot, do you understand?”

She gazed out the window, as if lost in thought, and said deeply, "I hope you won't disappoint those who value you..."

The store manager also has a story to tell.

A pack of cigarettes and a pack of sunflower seeds for an afternoon

Ignoring the system's complaints, Hachiman scratched his head and said, "Manager, are you 'CPUing' me?"

"Don't even try!"

You little rascal, you never play by the rules!

Ijichi Hoshika gritted her teeth as she sized up the boy in front of her. How did such an awkward brat grow up? No wonder you're single!

The two exchanged a glance and both smiled knowingly.

"Let's go, don't let Hongxia think we're doing something shady here."

"What shameful thing?" Hachiman asked, bewildered.

"You little brat, pretending to be stupid, huh? Take this punch!"

The punch that hadn't escaped finally landed on Hachiman's stomach this time. However, despite the excruciating pain in his stomach, Hachiman felt a significant relief from his vexation.

Chapter 115, Page 113: Turned around and went on a date with the lamp.

After the two finished talking and came out of the rehearsal room, five beautiful young girls were excitedly fiddling with the instruments they would be using for the performance on stage.

His relaxed and harmonious demeanor made Hachiman think he had wandered onto the wrong set.

Hachiman: Your Majesty, shall we return to RiNG?

Gao Songdeng: This place is so pleasant, I don't miss Shu at all!

Ichi Hoshika clapped her hands and said loudly, "Alright, you guys stop slacking off. It's almost opening time, so hurry up and get to your workstations."

The girls on stage sighed with regret. Gao Songdeng looked over, her pitiful amber eyes filled with longing and tenderness.

'Hachiman, you're back.'

Yes, child, I'm back.

The two approached each other, and after seeing something, Gao Songdeng suddenly turned her face away, looking very shy.

At the same time, Ijichi Hoshika, who was standing nearby, clicked her tongue and quickly left this place of trouble.

"?"

Hachiman looked down and saw that the large puddle was still there, like a medal displaying what had just happened.

No wonder Takamatsu Akari blushed.

Fortunately, only his inner shirt was wet; his outer jacket was still dry. He quickly buttoned up his jacket, temporarily covering the puddle.

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

"It's alright, Kita-chan, Pochi-chan, Nijika-chan, and Ryou-chan are very enthusiastic."

Takamatsu Akari recited the names of the four people as if listing dishes, then smiled slightly.

"They are a very sunny band."

Sunshine? Are you a sunflower?

Who is the zombie?

Oh, it's me...

"So, I don't know if it's a good thing to bring Hachiman back with me."

She really made me cry my eyes out.

"Let me make this clear first, I have no intention of joining your band," Hachiman said firmly.

Although I want to try to make amends, it doesn't mean I want to join Nagasaki Motoyo's band; those are two different things.

Takamatsu Akari accepted this, but after hearing Hachiman's words, she still lowered her head somewhat disappointedly.

"Yes, it's good that Hachiman is here."

"...But since it was my fault that the band fell apart, I want to take responsibility for it."

"Responsibility!?" Takamatsu's flickering eyes revealed his bewilderment.

"Yes." Hachiman nodded. "...Akira, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes, what are you going to do?"

"Next Monday is a special day."

"A special day?"

Gao Song Deng frowned, probably pondering what constituted a special day. After a long while, she suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Your birthday?!"

"No, no, my birthday is the amazing August 8th!"

"August 8th, I'll remember that..."

You almost forgot? Do you think you can remember my birthday?

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the one-month anniversary of your band's formation," Hachiman continued.

How would Hachiman know?

Gao Songdeng was slightly surprised; even she didn't remember it that clearly.

But upon closer reflection, the band was indeed formed around this time last month.

Hachiman, he remembers it so clearly?

The answer is naturally...

I don't remember at all.

How could an outsider like him possibly know when the band was formed?

However, not knowing doesn't mean you can't guess.

It's not difficult to deduce the band's formation date; just listen attentively to the AiYin Morning Channel every day, and you can deduce it from the clues.

This child has a bad habit: almost every morning he goes through the events of the previous day, sometimes even revealing embarrassing details like whether or not he washed his underwear.

It was through his tireless collection of Ai Yin's voice and other people's casual conversations every morning that he confirmed this information.

This is the survival philosophy of a class with a terrible reputation.

Thinking about it, Hachiman asked, "Speaking of anniversaries, we need to buy gifts, right? Have you prepared a gift for the lantern?"

Gao Songdeng shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't remember that."

OK, it's good that you didn't remember it; it would be scary if you did.

Hachiman thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

"Yes, so do you want me to go shopping for a present with you after school tomorrow?"

"Hey?"

Takamatsu looked at Hachiman strangely, then nodded firmly: "Yes!"

...

The next day, after arriving at the classroom, Hachiman did not notice anything particularly unusual about Aine.

Apart from the noticeably increased gravity value.

7-> 25

On the bright side, if you do well, you could get several rewards at once.

Thank you so much!

"Good morning." Hachiman greeted her with a bit of worry, but thankfully, Aine didn't ignore him.

Good morning, Hachiman.

"I'm sorry about yesterday, I had to leave early because of something."

"It's alright."

Are you really alright?

'I wonder how Soyo is doing. She hasn't spoken to me since I got back yesterday.'

Okay, looks like something's up. *Whoosh*

"Good morning, Hachiman," Takamatsu Akari greeted softly upon arrival.

"morning.":
