Does gravity make me stronger?

Su Shi waved her hand: "No, Hachiman, don't worry."

Check it out, something's definitely wrong!

Voice Activation!

However, there was nothing strange about the thoughts conveyed by Xiangzi and Su Shi.

Could it be that he was imagining things?

"Never mind, let's buy groceries first, it's getting late."

Su Shi & Xiang Zi: "Okay!"

...

Not far away.

An ordinary high school boy had just finished intense baseball training, and all his strength had turned into sweat as he walked wearily down the road.

His companion joked, "Ju, with your physical abilities, you'll probably never become a regular member of your school's team."

Hearing his friend's sarcastic remarks, the high school boy named Tachibana retorted defiantly, "A mere baseball starter spot is something I can easily take."

"Great! Even iron trees can bloom. I hope you'll keep up the good work!"

A cheerful atmosphere filled the crowd, but then, suddenly someone let out a strange cry.

"Hey, did you guys just see that? There was a guy openly cheating on his girlfriend with two women at the same time!"

"What? No, no."

At their companion's direction, everyone looked over curiously.

Sure enough, at the main entrance of the supermarket, they saw two girls holding hands intimately with a boy. Not only that, the two girls were not jealous of each other at all, but were chatting and laughing together.

"Don't be afraid, they must be two ugly women," someone stubbornly retorted.

Before the words were finished, the almost perfect profiles of two beautiful girls came into view.

"Ugly... I have to admit, they are a tiny bit prettier than the average girl."

"Damn it, why should I get this!"

"That damned dead-eyed brat, I wish I could devour his flesh, drink his blood, pull out his tendons, and grind his bones to dust!"

"Holy crap, when did you learn to use proverbs?!"

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Wait a minute, could it be that we're mistaken? Maybe this is someone else's script? Similar harem scripts have been really popular on TTK these past few days!"

Everyone suddenly realized: "That's possible. I knew it. What gives that guy the right? Come on, let's see where the camera is."

"I can give it a thumbs up because the female lead is so beautiful."

The group chatted happily, but after looking around, they couldn't find any trace of the camera.

A terrible thought arose in their minds.

Could it be that they're really going to start a harem?

Damn!

...

Inside the supermarket, in the seafood section.

Hachiman was completely oblivious to the little incident that had occurred outside the door; he was utterly stunned by what he was seeing.

XXX King Crab: 2 yen/each.

XXX Lobster: 1 yen/each.

Before, I had only seen high-end ingredients like lobsters in my Nagasaki family's refrigerator, so it didn't feel real. But now, standing next to the fish tank, I felt a sense of suffocation.

Damn, the price of this thing is really beyond the reach of normal people!

Can someone who contributes nothing to society really eat such expensive food with a clear conscience?

That's so sinful!

No sooner had she finished speaking than Nagasaki Motoyo put three lobsters into her shopping cart without even looking up.

Total of 30,000 yen.

Hachiman's lips twitched violently as he looked at the live lobster waving its large claws.

Calm down, 30,000 yen is less than the price of three Xiaomi orders, and it's not even enough to cover the minimum cost.

That's alright then...

Thinking of this, Hachiman's eyes regained their clarity.

"Su Shi, um, I don't think we can eat that much in one go."

Perhaps startled by Su Shi's extravagant spending, Xiangzi quickly spoke up.

"Oh, really?"

Su Shi glanced at the seafood in the shopping cart, pursing her lips with a hint of regret: "But we've already taken it, it doesn't seem right to put it back..."

Shrimp Bro: I think it's great.

Bro Bear: Shut up!

Seeing this, Xiangzi could only sigh helplessly, "You're right..."

In the end, the three lobsters could not escape their fate of being eaten that night.

Upon arriving at the fruit and vegetable section, to prevent Su Shi from making another extravagant purchase, Xiangzi volunteered to take her place and become the main shopper.

"We need to buy some vegetables. Besides tomatoes, is there anything else that people don't like to eat?"

"Uh, probably not." Hachiman shook his head.

"And what about Su Shi?"

"Xiangzi, what do you think?"

Su Shi gave him a mischievous smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi thought for a moment, then said with a wicked grin, "Cucumber?"

Su Shi paused briefly, then snorted, "Xiangzi is really bad."

Then, the two smiled slightly and put the cucumbers from the melon basket into their shopping cart.

As the two tacitly selected ingredients, Hachiman, who was following behind, tilted his head and asked, "Why cucumbers?"

Pushing their light shopping cart, Xiangzi and Su Shi walked back and forth in front of the various shopping shelves.

To be honest, their way of acting like housewives was so overtly housewife-like that it made Hachiman feel very uncomfortable.

Indeed, compared to that guy who wants to be a stay-at-home dad, it's like night and day.

"..."

To make his presence known, Hachiman took a step forward and grabbed the handle of the shopping cart.

However, the two of them glared at him in response.

"Hachiman, can you please keep a proper eye on things from behind?"

"Yes, Su Shi and I have a match today."

"Contest?"

The disliked Hachiman opened his mouth wide: "What kind of secret agreement did you two make this time?"

"It's nothing, we're just having dinner, and we'll each cook two dishes to see which one suits your taste better," Xiangzi explained.

"Wait a minute, this kind of competition is completely meaningless. In fact, you guys are just making me feel superfluous."

If things continue like this, won't he really become a gigolo if he does nothing?

Suze: "Hachiman should just obediently be the taste tester."

Xiangzi: "Yes, how about this, consider it punishment for the worry we had today?"

Hachiman: "Isn't this kind of punishment a bit too strange..."

For the next twenty minutes, Su Shi and Xiang Zi got carried away with their shopping and were about to buy all the groceries for the next week when Hachiman stepped in and stopped their crazy behavior.

Even so, they still bought two whole large bags.

Besides the ingredients for tonight, there were also some things that Su Shi had repeatedly told him he absolutely must not see.

As for what it is?

Hachiman: You're asking me? Who should I ask?

On his way home, Hachiman resolutely picked up two heavy bags of spoils.

Although the two girls would occasionally ask him if he wanted to take a break, or even offer to carry a bag, Hachiman cleverly dodged their questions each time.

"How should I put it? Consider this my punishment for today."

Hachiman grinned and even smugly showed off his arm muscles, which he had never worked out at all.

Xiangzi smiled helplessly, not expecting the boomerang to fly to his face so quickly.

"Then I'll leave it to Hachiman. If you're really tired, just let me know."

"OK."

...

Luxury apartment.

When the security guard saw the young couple from the apartment carrying two large bags back, he was about to grin at them when his lips suddenly froze.

He noticed a very pretty girl on the other side of the boy.

No, what is this?

Are rich people playing this high-stakes game?

"Hello, sorry to bother you."

The girl with sky-blue hair greeted us very politely; her gentle smile seemed to melt the ice and snow of winter.

The girl with chestnut-blonde hair next to her trotted over and asked, "Security guard, do you have a stroller?"

"Ah, yes."

After taking out the trolley, the boy put two large bags of materials on it, and the three of them slowly got into the car.

"Youth is wonderful..."

He said the exact same things as before, but the security guard's mood had changed somewhat.

...

The Nagasaki family home on the top floor of an apartment building.

After putting the ingredients in the kitchen, Hachiman went into the bathroom to relax his tense hands and wash his face.

Like a kitten, Su Shi silently entered the bathroom, leaned against the wall, and grinned foolishly at Hachiman.

"You could have just given us a bag, Hachiman is as awkward as ever."

Hachiman glanced at her, then continued washing his face: "No, no, no, boys have their own principles too."

"Hmph, whatever you want."

Even so, Su Shi still took out a clean towel and helped him wipe the sweat from his head.

A little while later.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Hachiman, you're not allowed in the kitchen from now on, understand?" Suze said, heading towards the kitchen.

"Hey, is this discrimination?"

"Yes, because that's a place that belongs to me and Xiangzi."

Su Shi proudly curled the corners of her lips and gracefully departed under Hachiman's helpless gaze.

Returning to the living room from the bathroom, Hachiman could only lie down on the sofa since the kitchen was now off-limits. His tired body made him want to slack off.

just.
