Does gravity make me stronger?

"what happened?"

Hachiman, who was browsing unread messages, casually replied.

Not long ago, Komachi sent many photos of small animals via Line, including a photo of herself and Shoko together.

Two beautiful girls, or more accurately, a young girl and a little girl, are making peace signs in front of the camera.

What? You're saying Komachi is a beautiful girl too?

You brat, do you have some strange ideas about Komachi?

Just die already!

While Hachiman was fighting a group of mysterious men, Kaguya Shinomiya coldly asked, "Why did you take out your phone?"

He kicked those people away, and said, "Hey, isn't this break time?"

Did I say that?

Kaguya Shinomiya's cold gaze hung like an ice blade over Hachiman's neck, causing him to subconsciously withdraw his questioning look.

"With your current grades, the word 'rest' shouldn't exist. What you should be doing is studying until you don't even have the strength to open your eyes."

"Oh, this..."

Kaguya Shinomiya seems to be a bit extreme...

"Or do you want to experience what it feels like to be electrocuted?"

Kaguya Shinomiya silently picked up her stun gun.

It's impossible for electricity to actually work, but Hachiman, who had been thoroughly humiliated by Kaguya Shinomiya, remembered his purpose and obediently took out the exam paper.

A few minutes later, Fujiwara Chika returned with a simple Go board and Shogi pieces.

"Kaguya-san, come play!"

"Just one round, okay?"

"No problem. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually the Shogi Prince in the board game club. Kaguya, watch me utterly crush you!"

Who calls themselves the Prince of Shogi...?

Fujiwara Chika was surprisingly confident, and Shinomiya Kaguya, unusually, became serious in the face of this provocative statement.

"Fujiwara-kun, I'm sorry, but I'm not the type to go easy on anyone, so bring it on!"

It's just a game of shogi, why are you making such a big deal out of it!

Hachiman, who can only write exam questions, complained like this.

To be honest, he knew nothing about these board games, and he had only ever seen shogi in anime.

After hearing that in shogi one could capture the opponent's pieces and turn them into one's own, he developed a strange view of this board game.

a long time.

"You lost, Fujiwara-san."

"Complete defeat..."

Fujiwara Chika stared blankly at the chessboard, her side facing her had been completely wiped out, while the opposing side had suffered almost no losses.

At the same time, she also had to face Kaguya Shinomiya's slightly disdainful expression.

It's as if to say—that's all?

"That was an accident, let's try again!"

To save face, Fujiwara Chika rearranged the pieces, and Shinomiya Kaguya did not object, letting her arrange the pieces as she pleased.

"Let's play one more round then."

This time, due to the change in Fujiwara Chika's mindset, her impetuous playing style was quickly exploited by Shinomiya Kaguya.

Under her aggressive and proactive attacks, Fujiwara Chika quickly surrendered, almost twice as fast as Hachiman estimated.

As a result, Fujiwara Chika seemed to have lost something important, and sat blankly on the sofa staring at the ceiling.

"Kaguya-san is amazing."

"Thank you, it just so happens that I have some research to do."

Kaguya Shinomiya tossed her long hair with a flourish, a faint smile on her face.

Sensing that she had no chance of defeating Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara turned her attention to Hachiman: "Hey, Hachiman, wanna play a game with me?"

Chapter 221, 218 Hachiman: The Grandpa with a Cheat Code?

She got crushed by Kaguya Shinomiya, so why is she coming here to seek validation?

As mentioned before, Hachiman doesn't know how to play shogi, so he decisively declined, saying, "Sorry, I'm not very good at shogi."

"It's good that you don't know... No, Hachiman, many members of the board game club didn't know how to play shogi before, but everyone fell in love with it afterward!"

A look of great interest shone through Fujiwara Chika's azure eyes.

A knife?

Come!

Si was just kidding; Kaguya Shinomiya is still watching...

"Hachiman, it's okay. Although Fujiwara can't beat me, her skills are still pretty good."

Kaguya Shinomiya spoke up at this moment.

"I've already told you I don't know how to play shogi."

Hachiman refused no matter what, but Fujiwara Chika simply placed the shogi board in front of him and said, "Hachiman, you can only continue learning if you beat me!"

"Hey!"

There was nothing he could do but look at the chessboard.

He knew nothing about the rules of shogi, so he simply took out the tool he had just acquired.

The Dragon King's Glasses

Neither Kaguya Shinomiya nor Chika Fujiwara fall into the category of loli or young girl, so there's no need to consider the side effects of this item.

On the surface, it's just a very ordinary pair of red-rimmed glasses, but when you hold it in your hand, strange music starts playing in your head.

seven——seven——seven!

Hachiman's unnecessary movements immediately caught the attention of the other two.

But soon they realized that Hachiman was just wearing glasses.

The lenses had no prescription, so it was somewhat of a show-off move. Suppressing his inner chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), Hachiman reached out and grabbed a handful of Fujiwara Chika's Go stones.

[You bastard, what did you grab?]

Oh, what's wrong with me picking up chess pieces?

Fujiwara Chika helped rearrange the Go pieces, and when she looked up, she met Hachiman's gaze.

Because of the lenses, Hachiman's unfortunate dead fish eyes lost their former sharpness and instead accentuated his already handsome jawline.

Although it was an accident, Hachiman's image skyrocketed.

"Wow, Hachiman looks so much more handsome with glasses on."

Fujiwara Chika praised her frankly, but Shinomiya Kaguya was unimpressed: "It's just that she's wearing glasses, and now her gaze looks even more dull."

Hey, are you being polite?

"Is it that strange? Then forget it..."

Fujiwara Chika immediately stopped him from taking off his glasses, saying that playing chess with a handsome guy would be quite interesting: "It's not strange, let's play chess first!"

With the chess pieces arranged, Fujiwara Chika stood ready.

Hachiman's gaze pierced through his glasses and focused on the chessboard in front of him. Instantly, an indescribable feeling formed in his mind.

A king for ten years goes unnoticed, but a fool becomes known to the world in a single day.

No, you misspoke.

More than ten years of shogi skills appeared out of nowhere in Hachiman's body.

Hachiman's pupils were crystal clear.

The chessboard was incredibly familiar; various types of chess would automatically materialize in his mind with just a thought, as if he had already played countless games with it.

Surprised by the sudden change in his thinking, Hachiman subconsciously touched his eye socket.

In a flash, a white light flashed through the lens, and Fujiwara Chika suddenly shivered.

You still say you don't know how to play shogi!

"Hikigaya-kun, what follows is going to be a long and arduous battle." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Fujiwara Chika's forehead.

Since there is no significant difference between going first and second in shogi, Fujiwara Chika, who is used to going first, made the first move.

'Oh, you're one of Ju Feiche's chess players?'

Unfamiliar words echoed in the void, startling Hachiman.

'Go right there!'

On the chessboard, a dot of light seemed to be indicating to Hachiman which direction to place his piece.

This ridiculous system, which supposedly automatically enhances chess-playing abilities, turns out to be just an old man cheating on the sidelines after all that trouble.

Hachiman was a bit confused, but he still followed the instructions in his ear and made his moves step by step.

After only a few dozen moves, the situation on the field had become one-sided. Fujiwara Chika's face was pale, she bit her red lips, and her forehead was covered in fine sweat.

After that dreamlike next move, she finally collapsed onto the sofa in despair, a white soul seemingly drifting away from her body.

"I lost."

"Um, are you alright?"

Hachiman's lips twitched. He knew absolutely nothing about shogi, so he couldn't understand the changes in the situation on the board at all.

"Hikigaya-san's true nature is really terrible. After toying with Fujiwara-san like that, she still asked her if she was alright?"

Kaguya Shinomiya covered her mouth with her hand, gazing meaningfully at Hachiman.

Hachiman gave a wry smile and began to silently tidy up the Go board.

Kaguya: "Wait a minute."

Hachiman: "Is there anything else?"

"Hikigaya-kun, if you'd like, please play a game with me. I'm very interested in your shogi."

"No..."

Because he hadn't taken off his glasses yet, Hachiman was halfway through his sentence when he heard those unfamiliar words again: 'If he wants to fight, then fight over there.'

Damn, that must have been said by the system itself!

Kaguya Shinomiya said coldly, "Oh dear, does Hachiman-kun think there's a huge gap in our skills? You're not even willing to play a single game."

Cao, don't be so Dihua!

"No...it's not that big."

"Then let's go."

Kaguya Shinomiya stood tall with her head held high, rubbing her hands together as if she could no longer contain herself.

Challenging the strong is the motto of the Shinomiya family.

Of course, generally speaking, they are the stronger ones.

"Shinomiya-kun, maybe we should just forget about it. I think I prefer studying."

"The break isn't over yet. How about we play a game? If you beat me, I'll grant you another request."

Kaguya Shinomiya smiled and said, "Hachiman must be short of money lately. If I win, I'll give you my allowance for this month for free."

Do you think you can get them to agree by offering money?

"I understand. No need for a reward. Just consider it a break during the learning process."
