Does gravity make me stronger?

"It must be that bottle of water... Hiratsuka Shizuka, you bastard..."

Hachiman immediately clutched his stomach, pursed his lips, and squeezed his two halves tightly together, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

His stomach has always been in good condition. In addition, he hasn't eaten anything particularly stimulating since yesterday, except for a certain bottle of spring water.

As is well known, spring water is rich in nutrients, especially microorganisms.

After drinking that mouthful of spring water from the mountain, Hachiman had a premonition that something was going to go wrong, but he didn't expect the boomerang to come so quickly.

Where is the toilet here?

When nature calls, Hachiman doesn't care about saving face and goes straight for a public toilet.

Fortunately, there was a public toilet right next to the bus stop. Hachiman ran over in small steps, afraid that if he loosened his buttocks, he would be plunged into a waterfall.

After squatting in the pit for about ten minutes, Hachiman's legs went numb, and the pain in his stomach finally subsided.

The moment he stepped out, his eyes met Xiangzi's.

Nagasaki Motoyo was right next to him, but because of the angle, she didn't notice Shoko next to her. Before she could react, she saw Shoko excitedly rush into Hachiman's arms.

"Great stockings! I never expected to see you here, Hachiman-kun. Am I dreaming?"

"Toyokawa-kun?"

Feeling the warmth emanating from the girl in his arms, Hachiman wavered while also looking at Nagasaki Motoyo across from him with a guilty conscience.

It wasn't my fault, she got through it on her own...

"Xiangzi-chan, can you let go of Hachiman?" Nagasaki Motoyo smiled.

“Suyo?” Shoko turned around in surprise, her joy at meeting Hachiman instantly replaced by disgust at seeing Nagasaki Suyo.

"Can you get off Hachiman?"

Seeing that Xiangzi was reluctant to let go of Hachiman, Nagasaki Motoyo did not hesitate to pull her away directly.

To counter Nagasaki Motoyo's rude behavior, Shoko hugged even tighter, wrapping her arms tightly around Hachiman's neck, just like a sloth.

"Xiangzi-chan, how much longer are you going to be so willful?"

"What are you trying to do now, Su Shi?"

The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to give an inch.

Only Hachiman suffered.

"Toyokawa-kun, could you please let go of me? I can't breathe..."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Xiangzi looked at Hachiman, whose face had turned as red as a pig's liver from holding his breath, and hurriedly let go of his hand.

Only then could he breathe in the fresh air as if he had been saved.

Xiangzi smelled so good, like milk.

"Hachiman, can you let me and Shoko-chan have a word?" Nagasaki Motoyo glared angrily at Hachiman and said coldly.

"Oh, then I'll go back in and squat for a while longer."

Hachiman went into the restroom, and came out a few seconds later. "Never mind, I'll go to the hotel and wait for you guys."

After Hachiman left, Nagasaki Motoyo gazed at Shoko and sighed, "Shoko-chan, could you please not bother Hachiman and me?"

"disturb...?"

“He’s going to be with me today. I asked him out, so he belongs to me.”

"No, given your personality, if you were the one who invited Hachiman to come out, you wouldn't have said you were alone."

At this moment, Xiangzi was extremely calm.

She was absolutely certain that Nagasaki Motoyo's encounter with Hachiman here was also a coincidence, or rather, a deliberate coincidence.

"At this point, you know me so well?"

Nagasaki Sose was furious. If Shoko had paid attention to her like this a few months ago, things would have turned out this way.

"So what do you plan to do? Are you planning to steal Hachiman from me?"

Although her momentum was somewhat suppressed, Nagasaki Motoyo brushed her long hair aside with one hand, maintaining a calm and confident demeanor.

She just said that in order to hurt Xiangzi's self-esteem and put herself on a moral high ground.

Shoko thought for a moment, and then said something that greatly surprised Nagasaki Motoyo: "This time, let's go together with the two of us and Hachiman-kun."

"Together?"

Nagasaki Motoyo was stunned.

She suddenly thought of a famous scene: a mistress begs the man to have a threesome so she can be with her boyfriend.

Xiangzi, you're so shameless...

This kind of gameplay... development, is naturally unacceptable to Nagasaki Motoyo.

Unless Xiangzi loves him, and he loves Hachiman, and only in order to be with him would she be willing to share a husband with her.

This is quite interesting.

However, Shoko's current target is Hachiman, not her, so Nagasaki Motoyo will definitely not let her succeed.

"Xiangzi-chan, do you think I'll agree?"

"It's no use if you don't agree. The main thing is Hachiman's thoughts, Motoyo. To be honest, even though you've been pursuing Hachiman, hasn't he always kept his distance?"

Xiangzi's words resonated deeply with Su Shi.

Ever since that day under the stars, she has been racking her brains to get closer to Hachiman.

Although there has been some progress, it is far from enough.

Hachiman is like a clumsy little hedgehog. You can get close and interact with him, but if you try to pet him, he will curl up into a ball and refuse to let anyone approach him.

That's why she's planning to force herself on him this time, intending to make it a fait accompli.

She never expected that she would encounter Xiangzi on the way, before the night's hunt.

In front of Xiangzi, Nagasaki Motoyo dared not admit it and could only stubbornly say, "You're the same in this respect, aren't you? You haven't made any progress either, and you're even worse than me, right, Toyokawa-kun?"

At least she and Hachiman call each other by name, and he even forcibly kissed her. What gives Toyokawa the audacity to mock her?

Hachiman: Who forcibly kissed whom? My memory is playing tricks on me?

"Are you afraid?"

Xiangzi's words provoked Nagasaki Motoyo's competitive spirit, but she still restrained her competitive drive: "Goading won't work. No matter what you say, I have the upper hand this time."

...Is it useless?

Seeing this, Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his provocative strategy had failed.

However, at that moment, both of their phones simultaneously received a text message.

The next moment, both of their expressions changed.

Hachiman to Motoyo: Motoyo, are you going to see a music performance later? With Toyokawa-kun.

Hachiman to Shoko: Toyokawa-kun, are you going to see a music performance later? With Motoyo.

Xiangzi was the first to show his phone, gesturing to Nagasaki Motoyo with his eyes, as if to say, "See? I told you so."

It's all your fault!

Nagasaki Motoyo glared at Shoko, then walked noncommittally into the hotel: "Let's make this clear first, you're not allowed to secretly chat with Hachiman, or I'll take Hachiman back to his room!"

"Su Shi, you're only thinking about yourself."

"Also, you're not allowed to say that about me again!"

Hong Wen's Nagasaki Motoyo immediately turned around, while Shoko flashed a mischievous smile: "Looks like you really are sensitive to that..."

"..."

The verbal battle between the two beautiful girls took a dramatic turn because of a text message.

When they returned to the hotel after a temporary ceasefire, they found Hachiman being harassed by other women again.

"Hikigaya, do you want to go to the music performance with your sister?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked enthusiastically, followed by a girl with a blank expression.

"No, no need, I've already made plans."

"What? Was it that girl from earlier? Oh, so Hachiman likes girls like that? Can't you be like that, sis?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, it's not a matter of appearance."

Hachiman smiled ingratiatingly, implying that Yukinoshita Haruno's personality was a bit too fiery.

This sentence should be easy to understand, but Yukinoshita Haruno still pretended to be clueless and said, "Big sister can change it, what kind do you like? Mature woman or cute girl? Ah, loli won't do~"

This is unbearable! This woman won't listen to anyone at all!

Just when Hachiman was in a state of utter distress, the appearance of Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo gave him a chance to catch his breath.

Hachiman immediately walked over to them: "Toyokawa-kun, Motoyo, have you made up your minds?"

Xiangzi & Su Shi: "Hmm."

Yukino covered her mouth in surprise: "Shoko-chan, I didn't know you knew Hachiman too! That's great, let's all go shopping together!"

[6P, I love it so much!]

roll!

As Hachiman ignored Haruno's outburst and was about to say goodbye, a female schoolteacher hurriedly passed by.

"Xiao Jing?"

"Ah, what are you all doing here?" Hiratsuka Shizuka stopped in her tracks, looking quite anxious.

"What happened?"

"Isn't there a music performance this afternoon? One of the bands has something come up, so I need to go and take care of it?"

Yang Nai: "I've never heard of you being a band manager, Xiao Jing?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "They are my students. Ugh, it's such a headache. They're going on stage in an hour or two, but their lead singer found out his girlfriend was cheating on him, so he's canceling the performance."

"Forehead?"

Seeing that Hachiman didn't quite understand, Hiratsuka Shizuka added, "The lead singer and the guitarist were boyfriend and girlfriend, and then the guitarist cheated on her with the drummer, something like that."

"..."

Classic, absolutely classic!

I never thought this kind of ridiculous plot that only happens on TV would actually be real!

"Eh~" Yukino Yukinoshita exclaimed in feigned surprise, her beautiful eyes darting around as if she were quite interested.

"What about their performances?"

"I'll probably find a replacement band. Luckily it's not a very formal performance. I'll give them a good talking to when I get back."

"Xiaojing, if there's an existing band, can't we just replace them?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka watched everyone calmly, then focused her gaze solely on Haruno: "Theoretically, that's how it is, but we still need to respect individual wishes."

"Xiaojing, you play bass, right? I can be the drummer."

Hiratsuka Shizuka used to be a trendy girl, and although she's almost thirty now, her bass playing skills are still superb.

"Are you still planning to go in personally?"

"Isn't it interesting?" Yukinoshita Haruno blinked. "Yukino can play the guitar too, right?"

"I refuse." Yukino Yukinoshita immediately rejected her older sister's invitation. "I can't imagine why I would do something like this."

"Mom will come to see us then."

For some reason, after hearing those words, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had initially been quite resistant, suddenly softened up.

Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Are you serious? What about the lead singer and keyboardist?"

Yang Nai murmured softly, then suddenly looked at Xiangzi: "Speaking of which, isn't Xiangzi-chan quite good at playing in a band?"

When the topic shifted to himself, Xiangzi was still unclear about Yang Nai's true meaning, so he nodded modestly.
