Does gravity make me stronger?

"No need, I can stand... By the way, Su Shi, is there anything you want to ask?"

"Hey?"

Nagasaki Motoyo tilted her head in surprise, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "What should we eat tonight? Does Hachiman like lobster or king crab?"

"The lobster is ready... no, no, that's not what I meant."

Hachiman waved his hand hastily, about to say something, when a rude complaint came from behind: "Hey, you two in front, can you sit down first? You're blocking my view of the performance."

　"Excuse me!"

He immediately crouched down, at a height that was exactly the same as Su Shi, who was sitting down.

Their eyes met, and in Su Shi's affectionate gaze, Hachiman's face was clearly reflected.

At that moment, she was only looking at him.

An unnatural blush rose on Hachiman's face.

"But I really don't have anything else I want to ask."

"Really not?"

He said somewhat uneasily, "Anything is fine, like asking about what I just asked..."

"No."

Nagasaki Motoyo shook her head firmly.

His greatness needs no further explanation!

"Well then, I should go back too."

Two steps away, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stood up, her gaze falling on the two whispering lovers: "Hachigaya-kun, could you send me a copy of the video you filmed? I can help you process it."

Hachiman shook his head: "No need, it's my job... By the way, aren't you going to say goodbye to Goto-kun?"

"No need, I've said everything I needed to say, and I have other things to do."

The other thing Yukinoshita was referring to was probably related to the phone call they had just had, but he didn't know the specific details, nor did he need to.

Nagasaki Motoyo: "Shall we go too?"

After he finished speaking, the girl suddenly took his hand. Although Hachiman was a little surprised, he still instinctively shook her hand in return.

Hachiman: "Hmm."

A worrying thought flashed through his mind: Su Shi, right here, now?

Sure enough, this scene was precisely seen by the light and the sound of Aine.

"Soyorin, what's going on here?"

Ai Yin stared wide-eyed, clearly startled by the sight of the two holding hands.

Her uneasy gaze darted back and forth between their tightly clasped fingers, and the next moment, she suddenly leaned back in surprise.

Then came Nagasaki Motoyo's incredibly gentle yet ruthless words: "Ah, I forgot to tell you, I'm actually dating Hachiman."

---Cut line---

There will be another update this afternoon. Also, happy July everyone! If you have any monthly tickets, please give one!

Chapter 236 233 233!

When Aine saw her imagined rival holding the hand of her beloved, she knew that at that moment, all the battles were over.

When did it end?

Aine had no idea.

Looking back now, there is indeed evidence to support this.

Even when they invited Hachiman to join the Mygo band, Motoyo's behavior was already quite strange.

Why would they need to recruit a male member into the band?

At that time, Aine was on Souse's side, so she didn't realize this point like Shiina Riki did. Or perhaps she did realize it but didn't think about it deeply.

She instinctively thought it was impossible.

During the cultural festival, Su Shi's actions were almost obvious, but at the time she was immersed in her own willfulness and was easily fooled by Su Shi.

There were many opportunities, but I missed them all.

With that thought in mind, she left the stadium almost without looking back.

Apply grease to the muddy road.

When she reached the gate, Aine stopped and waited silently, hoping that Hachiman would come after her and explain.

She would be happy even if it was just telling a few white lies.

But to her heartbreak, all she found was a lamp.

"Even if you don't like me, shouldn't you at least come after me and comfort me?"

Aiyin bit her lip and squatted pitifully on the busy street.

"Aine, it's dangerous here."

"Don't worry about me, Tomorin!"

The inexplicably loud volume made Gao Songdeng take a half step back in surprise, but after a while she mustered up her courage and slowly approached again.

"Ai-yin..."

"tomorin!"

Aine suddenly stood up and hugged the lamp tightly. The trembling from her body made the lamp feel very uneasy.

"Why didn't Hachiman tell me sooner? Why did Soyorin keep it from me? Did I do something wrong?"

"Aine-chan did nothing wrong."

Takamatsu Akari lowered her eyes, clumsy and unable to think of any comforting words, she could only stroke the other's hair with her hand: "Aine-chan, so you like Hachiman too?"

"Hey, could it be that you, Tomorin, are also here?" Aine's shoulders trembled in her arms.

"I do not know."

"and you..."

Gao Songdeng's voice lowered, and he said somewhat insecurely, "What is liking someone? Everyone understands it, but I don't understand it at all."

"But when I saw how Suze looked at Hachiman, I wondered if that was love."

"Then, I saw the same look in Aine's eyes."

Takamatsu Akari: "Being able to like someone must be a very happy thing, so, Aine-chan, don't be sad, okay?"

Hearing this, Aine's tears were almost unbearable: "But I don't have a chance anymore, can't I even be sad?"

"no."

Takamatsu Akari shook her head: "Why do you think there's no chance, Aine-chan? Aren't we and Hachiman destined to be together forever?"

...

On the tram back, the connection between the carriages made a creaking and rattling sound.

On Friday afternoon, the number of customers was surprisingly low. Everyone was scrolling through their phones in their seats, not saying a word, and the atmosphere was gloomy.

This caused Hachiman to be in a daze, staring at the scenery passing by outside the window, unable to concentrate for a long time.

The image of Aine on the verge of tears at their parting was still etched in his mind, stinging his weary nerves.

But Hachiman did not regret or feel sorry about it. He felt more of a concern for Aine than any romantic feelings for her.

Although it might be a bit rude to say that, if Aine appeared naked in front of him, Hachiman would only stiffen slightly as a sign of politeness.

But if it were Su Shi or Xiang Zi, he would definitely not be able to control himself and would pounce on his prey like a hungry tiger.

[Is option A not working?]

First, he's not a physique knight. Second, your bait was a bit too obvious; try something different next time.

【cut】

Aine is a very beautiful girl, Hachiman has always thought so, but he just doesn't feel anything.

A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Therefore, rather than having to muster the courage to confess her feelings only to be rejected again, it would be better to just give up now.

"Aion has arrived home; the lamp brought her there."

Nagasaki Motoyo's deep voice sounded in his ear, and Hachiman responded weakly, "Mm."

"Did I go too far?"

"No, it has to be done eventually."

"A good wife shouldn't cause her husband so much trouble."

"First published on 705u.com - Book Club"

Su Shi reached out her right hand to help Hachiman tidy up his messy bangs, and the latter immediately blushed.

"I don't remember when we got married..."

"So you want to break up with me?"

You're asking a question you already know the answer to...

Nagasaki Motoyo chuckled, completely ignoring the envious glances cast at her from the train: "Heh heh, sorry, but I just find it really amusing to tease Hachiman."

"..."

Just as I was about to raise my right hand, I found it a little inconvenient.

When her gaze shifted over, she realized that Su Shi hadn't let go of her hand at all, and her thumb had been squeezed so hard it had turned white.

"Um, if you keep squeezing like that, my hand is going to fall off first."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just felt a little heartbroken thinking about what happened to Aine."

Do you really feel sorry for them?

I do not believe.

"Let's leave it at that," Hachiman said helplessly, preparing to end this sad topic.

He will try his best to make it up to Aine in the future.

"Hmm, Hachiman, would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?" Responding to Hachiman's wish, Nagasaki Motoyo thoughtfully changed the subject.

Hachiman looked away: "Let's skip the meal..."

"Hey, but you clearly agreed this afternoon."

Nagasaki Motoyo lowered her head in grievance, her pitiful appearance enough to arouse any man's protective instincts.

'That damn dead-eyed brat, how dare he upset such a pretty girl! Watch my meatball attack!'

Amidst the heartfelt sentiments, many voices of questioning arose.

"Wait a minute, when did I agree to that?"

"When I asked you what you wanted to eat, you said lobster."

"Oh, this..."

I never expected that it would also be a trap!

Nagasaki Motoyo, how many trap cards did you set in one turn?

"I'll leave to you tonight."

"Ah."

Nagasaki Motoyo, her previous gloom gone, hugged Hachiman with delight: "Oh right, I need to ask Shoko what she likes to eat, then we can go to the supermarket together."

Hachiman: "Will she still have to work?"

"Oh, okay, then I'll send a text message."

As she spoke, Nagasaki Motoyo opened her phone and sent Shoko a confirmation message.

Nagasaki Motoyo: Shoko, what time do you get off work today? Want to come over for dinner? Hachiman's here too, the three of us can go to the supermarket together.
