Does gravity make me stronger?

What are you talking about? This isn't my home yet.

[Does Hachiman plan to live with his mother-in-law in the future?]

Well, let's see what Su Shi thinks. He doesn't really care anyway. It would be best if Komachi moved in with us.

[Pshaw, all pretty boys should just die!]

pretty boy: How many?

pretty boy: Have you ever seen Tokyo at 4 a.m.?

gigolo: Do ​​you know how sexually unsatisfied rich women are?

Pretty boy: Everyone has to stand up six times at a time, who can handle that?!

I'm sorry, my [sorry].

Hachiman: What are you apologizing to?

[And a real eel]

Hachiman: "???"

Ignoring the system, Hachiman greeted the security guard at the door, sat down on the sofa on the first floor of the apartment, and quietly waited for Suze to come downstairs.

A moment later, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Inside the elevator, a voice as gentle as silk could be heard.

"I'm sorry, Hachiman, I've kept you waiting."

"I just arrived too."

Hachiman casually replied, then looked at Su Shi's outfit.

The crisp sleeveless shirt paired with the light-colored knee-length skirt perfectly suited Su Shi's temperament, but the light green headband on her head gave her a slightly unpleasant look.

"Um, doesn't the headband look good?"

Noticing that Hachiman was staring at the headband on her head, Suze shyly turned her face away. This was the first time she had dressed up like this, and she hadn't expected Hachiman to like it so much...

"No, it suits you perfectly. Let's go, Xiangzi will be here soon."

Hachiman waved his hand, dispelling the ominous figure in his mind.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Su Shi eagerly took Hachiman's arm. The security guard at the entrance saw this and immediately smiled knowingly.

"Young lady, going out with your boyfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, but a few seconds later, she still gave the security guard a happy smile.

"Ok!"

"Wow, youth is wonderful."

Because it was the first time they had been teased to their faces, the two of them walked stiffly until they reached the street, where they felt a little better.

The meeting point with Xiangzi was not at the apartment, but directly at the supermarket.

However, the distance from the apartment to the supermarket was only a few hundred meters, and the two arrived at their destination in just a few minutes.

As they arrived, a green taxi slowly pulled up to the side of the road.

As if he had a premonition, Hachiman looked over and happened to see Xiangzi, dressed in casual clothes, getting off the car. The latter immediately met Hachiman's gaze.

"?"

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like Xiangzi seemed a little angry.

I don't think so. He didn't do anything.

[A battleground indeed! It truly is a battleground!]

"???"

It took Su Shi a few seconds to react before she happily rushed over and took Xiangzi's little hand.

"Xiangzi, good evening!"

Xiangzi showed no resistance to such close contact, and gave a polite smile: "Good evening."

Hachiman: "Okay."

"Um, Hachiman, can I tell you something before we go into the supermarket?"

Xiangzi coughed lightly and looked at Hachiman with a very serious gaze, while the latter straightened his back and nodded with some unease.

Su Shi observed the two with a puzzled look, then felt the little hand she was holding tighten a bit.

Is Xiangzi nervous?

why?

Girls are always more sensitive to emotions, and Xiangzi's unease quickly spread to her.

"Did I do something wrong?"

"No, Su Shi, this has nothing to do with you."

After comforting Su Shi, Xiangzi turned to Hachiman and asked, "Hachiman, do you like Mutsu?"

It was not Hachiman who reacted first, but Momoyo.

She instinctively let out an "Eh," then cast a puzzled look at Xiangzi: "Xiangzi, what are you talking about? How could Hachiman like Mutsumi? That child is..."

Su Shi's voice abruptly stopped halfway through her speech.

Xiangzi pointed out her blind spot.

She seemed to have completely overlooked the need to be wary of Wakaba Mutsu!

I remember a long time ago, Mutsumi secretly contacted Hachiman, and she caught him red-handed...arrested him.

At the time, Mutsu and Hachiman had almost no connection whatsoever, yet they still managed to get to know each other...

No, no.

But Mu doesn't seem like the type of girl who would be obsessed with love at all.

Shouldn't a naive girl like Mu be trapped in her past ideal, living in a daze, unable to obtain what she desires?

How could someone do something like this, pretending to do one thing while secretly doing another?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

No matter how imaginative Nagasaki Motoyo was, she simply couldn't depict the scene of that emotionally detached girl falling in love with Hachiman.

After a moment of silence, the scene was quiet.

Hachiman clutched his stomach and chuckled softly, "Well, I think you've misunderstood."

Upon receiving his reply, Xiangzi breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"So it was a misunderstanding? Please explain it to me properly. I also hope it was a misunderstanding on my part."

"Ah."

Hachiman nodded and recounted the events of that afternoon to the two of them.

"So that's how it is. Mu assumed it was a misunderstanding. If that's the case, why did the child use such an easily misunderstood tone..."

After the truth was revealed, Xiangzi rubbed his temples in distress.

Their trust was almost damaged because of this bizarre misunderstanding.

Mu, even if you're naive, you shouldn't act so recklessly...

With a sigh of relief, Xiangzi took Hachiman's arm, silently complaining to himself.

"I'm sorry, Hachiman, I misunderstood you."

Hachiman showed no anger whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt quite gratified.

When misunderstandings arise, Xiangzi speaks directly and frankly, without hiding anything, which is a very good way of communicating.

The worst thing is to keep something to yourself, letting the rift between you widen until it becomes irreparable.

Yes, I'm talking about you, Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Su Shi?"

"Hey?"

Hearing Hachiman call his name, Suze paused for a moment, seemingly still in a daze: "What's wrong, Hachiman?"

"I want to apologize to you all for what happened with Wakaba," he said, bowing his head.

Suze: "Why should Hachiman apologize? It wasn't your fault."

"Well, as a guy, I should avoid suspicion and such." He shrugged with a wry smile.

In fact, Hachiman had tried his best to avoid misunderstandings, but in the end he still failed.

"Oh, it's okay. I'll just mention it to Hemu later."

Chapter 241, Section 238: The Strongest Fourth Baseballer in History: Nagasaki Motoyo

Then, before Hachiman could react, Nagasaki Motoyo pulled Shoko aside by herself.

"Xiangzi, although today was a misunderstanding, given Mutsu's personality, he will definitely continue to cling to Hachiman."

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi frowned slightly: "So what you mean is?"

Su Shi feigned concern: "Since Mu has such a painful problem, shouldn't we help her?"

This is a lie.

Su Shi and Ruo Ye have been getting along for so long; if they wanted to help, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until this day?

She did this simply to keep Mutsu away from Hachiman.

But Xiangzi didn't think that way.

“Mu really needs someone to guide her, otherwise she will be led into a dead end and never be able to get out of it.”

But what should we do?

Xiangzi touched his nose with one hand, pondered for a second, and murmured, "Mu's problem is not just related to her alone; the key lies with her uncle and aunt."

When Ruoye's family was mentioned, Xiangzi couldn't help but sigh.

Although his own family was struggling to survive, Xiangzi still had a lot to say about the education of the Ruoye family.

Both of Wakaba Mutsu's parents came from the entertainment industry; one was a popular comedian, and the other was a popular actor.

The union of the two can be described as a perfect match.

Their descendants, however, did not inherit any of their linguistic artistry.

He's a bit hard to read, quiet and reserved, but when he does speak, it's astounding. You can describe him however you like, but in short, Mu's mouth has caused a lot of trouble for everyone.

Mu is aware of her own problems, so she tries to talk as little as possible, but this creates a vicious cycle.

Without intervention from others, Mu will eventually close himself off and completely refuse to communicate with others in this vicious cycle.

That was an outcome Xiangzi did not want to see.

"Please allow me to consider the matter of harmony."

Xiangzi looked solemn.

Knowing that she had conveyed her meaning, Su Shi didn't say anything more.

After reaching an agreement, the two decided to put the matter of harmony aside for the time being and focus on solving the dinner problem.

...

When they returned, Su Shi and Xiang Zi both looked grim. Hachiman asked nervously, "Um, have you two decided how to punish me? Let me make this clear, I'm going to eat dinner tonight, even if it kills me."

Xiangzi and Su Shi exchanged a glance and burst out laughing: "Why would Hachiman think that way? Su Shi and I wouldn't bully you."

"But your expressions are really strange."

Hachiman smacked his lips.

Xiangzi paused for half a second, then quickly composed himself and said, "Oh, I'm sorry to have worried you. We're all fine now."

Hachiman swallowed hard. "Um, are you really okay? You can tell me if there's anything wrong. It's alright, I won't be sad."
