Does gravity make me stronger?

She is warm, cheerful, has strong communication skills, is easy to get along with and talk to, and has a very easygoing personality.

only.

He doesn't fit in at all with Hachiman.

Kaori Orimoto slowly stepped off the car, and the next moment, her gaze went straight past Tama and the others, locking onto Hachiman.

"...Hey, isn't this Hachiman? So you went to Haneoka Academy. I didn't realize you were so lucky!"

Sure enough, I was recognized.

Kaori Orimoto seemed very happy, her face beaming with smiles.

How come I'm so lucky?

Kicked out of his hometown of Chiba, he came to Tokyo to study alone and ended up with an abstract system. Is this what you call good luck?

So, fueled by his anger, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

Kaori Orimoto didn't hear the voice. Instead, she rushed to Hachiman and carefully looked him up and down.

"The uniforms at Haneoka Academy are really nice, but they look a bit strange on Hachiman, or rather, they're hilarious!"

She covered her mouth and kept laughing, her right hand lightly patting Hachiman's shoulder.

Hey, what's so funny about this?

In addition, the shoulder that was being repeatedly beaten like a punching bag also emitted intermittent hoarse cries of pain.

Hachiman took a step back, creating some distance.

"Nice to meet you."

"Here we go again, Hachiman, you haven't forgotten me, have you? I'm Orimoto, your junior high classmate."

As she spoke, Kaori Orimoto stubbornly moved closer.

Could you please not stand so close?

"Pfft, Hachiman, you're still as sensitive as ever."

Kaori Orimoto mocked him mercilessly.

What's even more troublesome is that Hachiman can't really refute it.

Yes, he is a sensitive and awkward guy.

A bad mood slowly crept into his heart, casting a somewhat gloomy shadow over Hachiman's vision.

In retrospect, it was precisely because of Kaori Orimoto's outgoing personality and her underestimation of the impact of physical contact on a teenage boy that I confessed my feelings to him when I was in junior high school.

The confession spread throughout the class the next day, and Hachiman naturally became the talk of the class.

Thanks to her, every time Hachiman is mentioned, this incident is brought up and relentlessly retaliated against.

"Hey, did you know that Hitani actually confessed to Kaori?"

"What? That's terrifying!"

Stung by the memories, Hachiman's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"Um, I'm the volunteer in charge of reception. If everyone has arrived, please come with me."

"Oh, so Hachiman is one of our volunteers, lucky~"

"Zheben, do you know him?"

Tamamo held his chin up, warily scrutinizing Hachiman, while the gravity on his head seemed to increase several points.

9-> 11

Where did this love triangle come from?

How did you figure out it was a love triangle?

Oh, so you like her?

The past is the past, the present is the present.

“We know each other. We went to the same middle school.” Kaori Orimoto ignored Hachiman’s embarrassment and continued talking to herself.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Tamaki's gaze toward Hachiman became even more dangerous.

Even without revealing his thoughts, he could guess what the other person was thinking.

Hachiman ignored the interaction between the people behind him and, like a reception robot, led them to the administration building for a short rest.

"Afterwards, members of the student council will take you to visit the school history museum. After the visit, you are free to do as you please. Also, please contact me by phone if you need anything."

After reciting the instructions verbatim, Hachiman quickly fled the scene while the students from Seaside Comprehensive High School weren't paying attention.

As soon as I stepped out of the administration building, a surge of youthful energy washed over me, with all sorts of high school students strolling around the campus in their different uniforms.

Incidentally, although Haneoka Academy invited many schools to visit, unusually, it did not allow ordinary people to enter.

Therefore, neither the End Band nor some members of Mygo were able to enter.

Of course, even if it opens up, Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna won't come.

At that moment, a faint voice came from the loudspeaker near the gymnasium: "The Haneoka Academy Cultural Festival is now officially open!"

I couldn't tell whose voice it was, but the Haneoka Academy cultural festival officially started from this moment.

Hachiman looked up at the sky.

Before I knew it, the sunlight was radiating heat like a furnace.

The temperature is gradually rising.

Hachiman wiped the sweat from his brow, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt to let air slip in and cool him down, then murmured to himself as he looked at the clouds in the sky.

"I feel a bit irritable right now."

...

After completing the reception work, Hachiman did not contact Nagasaki Motoyo immediately.

Instead, they followed the familiar path, weaving their way to the secret base behind the teaching building.

[Switch lanes, huh? We'll take your base in 10 minutes!]

At this point, Hachiman had lost interest in arguing with the dog system and just wanted to find a place to rest as soon as possible.

Because it's on the other side of the sun, once you get to the back of the teaching building, the heat dissipates considerably.

After arriving at the familiar location, Hachiman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hachiman?"

Hearing voices stirred up my anxiety again.

"who is it?"

This is undoubtedly superfluous.

In the entire world, apart from his family, there are only two people who call him Hachiman.

If we exclude Nagasaki Motoyo, who visited the school history museum, that leaves only Takamatsu Akari.

So Hachiman looked over and, sure enough, found Takamatsu Akari squatting on the ground, holding a small stone in one hand and a yellow-packaged beverage can in the other.

Chapter 160, Section 157: The Ultimate Showdown Between Su Shi and Xiang Zi

Upon seeing Hachiman's gaze, Takamatsu Akari quickly dropped the stone in her hand, then awkwardly stood up, holding her canned drink, and slowly walked towards him.

Apart from a few unlucky students who were pulled out to do manual labor, the rest of the students in Class 1C did not have any class activities scheduled.

Therefore, most people can participate in the cultural festival all day and visit all the shops.

Since morning, the message group for Class 1-C has been constantly at 99+ messages, forcing Hachiman to turn on Do Not Disturb mode.

but.

Gao Songdeng didn't join everyone at the cultural festival; instead, he stayed here all alone, which made Gao Songdeng a little worried.

Are you feeling unwell?

Takamatsu Teng awkwardly stroked the MAX coffee, shaking his head nervously.

"No...it's just that there are a lot of people, and I'm a little scared."

Only then did Hachiman realize what was going on.

Takamatsu Akari is a rather shy girl.

It's usually fine, but today there are some unfamiliar faces, so it's a bit disorienting.

In addition, we don't know if there will be some scoundrels taking advantage of the situation, so we really need to be on guard.

Thinking of this, Hachiman's dead fish eyes sharpened.

The top Sett player in the Chinese server has been loaded; cowardly behavior will not be tolerated!

[He's got a strong fatherly vibe now!]

The lamp isn't your sister.

I was just concerned about my female classmates.

Hachiman said somewhat seriously, "If you're not feeling well, go to the infirmary. This isn't a place to rest."

Takamatsu Akari declined, saying, "It's alright, I'll rest here for a bit before going back. Aine-chan is still waiting for me."

"so."

Speaking of which, Aine also invited him to visit the cultural festival together, but he quickly declined the invitation, citing that he had to be a host.

If Aine finds out I'm slacking off here, I'm afraid I'll be severely tortured when I get back.

"Could you please not tell Chihaya-san about what happened here?" Hachiman said somewhat guiltily.

"Ah, um, okay."

Although she didn't know why, Takamatsu Akari obediently nodded slightly and then raised the drink in her hand: "Hachiman, would you like some?"

What would you like to drink?

I won't drink it unless it's free.

"You can have it," Hachiman declined again, but upon closer inspection, he realized that she was holding a MAX coffee.

"I've already had mine. This is for you..."

Looking into Takamatsu Akari's gentle and considerate gaze, Hachiman couldn't help but feel healed.

"Then I won't be polite."

The two stood there behind the teaching building, chatting idly. After some time, a vibration came from their pocket. Then, silence.

Hachiman opened the package and saw that it was an invitation from Nagasaki Motoyo, who said she had finished visiting the school history museum and wanted to go shopping with him.

"Hey, Su Shi's here too, would you like to go for a walk together?" he offered.

If you can go shopping with Takamatsu Akari, the chances of rumors arising will be lower.

“As for me…” Gao Songdeng was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head with a heavy heart, “I’d better not, I want to rest a bit more.”

"Okay, I'll be going now."

After saying goodbye to Takamatsu, Hachiman made his way to the school building and finally met the person he was looking for at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor.

Her long chestnut-yellow hair fluttered in the wind, and her pure white summer uniform stood out brightly against the otherwise dark-toned school uniforms of Haneoka Academy.

In addition, he unilaterally declared that over-the-knee socks were the best invention in the world.

Hachiman glanced at the white over-the-knee socks and took the initiative to greet them.

Seeing Hachiman approaching, Nagasaki Motoyo, whose face had been cold, instantly broke into a smile and walked over with light steps.

"morning."

"Greetings."

"Wait for a long time?"

No.
