Does gravity make me stronger?

"Hmph, my sister accidentally let it slip last night, so what happened?"

"I refused."

Hachiman shook his head decisively, and Nijika's expression suddenly became much more serious.

"Hey, Hachiman, did you refuse?"

Hongxia covered her pink lips, her pale red eyes revealing great surprise. Then, a trembling voice escaped her lips: "Then today's event is going to be particularly bad?"

Although we don't know what the situation was between Hachiman and Pochi, it would definitely be awkward if the two of them met!

But if we say the event is canceled now, everyone else will be confused.

Hongxia clutched her head as if facing a formidable enemy, caught in a dilemma.

"I don't think so... It's not convenient to go into details, but in short, Goto and I are getting along very well right now," Hachiman reassured him.

"Hachiman, you're not lying to me?" Nijika cast a hesitant glance my way. "Under these circumstances, can the two of you still get along normally?"

"Hmm, that should be fine."

"Oh well"

Nijika scratched her hair awkwardly: "Hachiman, how should I put it, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect this to happen."

Hachiman simply shook his head: "It's not your problem."

"Well, how should I put it? I just spoke without understanding the situation." Hongxia touched her fingers anxiously.

"It's really okay."

"Then let's just pretend nothing happened for now."

Hongxia sighed helplessly.

Goto Ichiri's Waterloo made her start to worry about the band's future. Atmosphere is an important catalyst for a band; it can propel a band to the top, but it can also plunge a band into an abyss of no return.

Many professional bands break up because of relationship problems, and Hongxia is very worried that a similar situation will happen when a band ends.

While the two were talking, Kita and Yamada Ryo also walked onto the platform one after the other.

Good morning, everyone!

"morning!"

So dazzling!

Kita's bright smile and the dazzling effect emanating from him were even more radiant than the July sun, making it difficult for the people present to open their eyes.

Yamada Ryo pretended to avoid the sun, but actually slipped behind Nijika and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally revived—"

Then, she looked around and asked, "Where's Pochi-chan? Hasn't she arrived yet?"

"Poch-chan will be here soon."

Kita held up her phone, showing the chat history inside. About five minutes ago, Goto Ichiri sent a message indicating that she was already nearby.

Nijika looked around awkwardly, while Yamada Ryo scoffed, "Nijika, are you trying to go to the restroom? Why are you so nervous?"

"I'm not nervous at all!"

Hongxia argued loudly, but it was inconvenient to reveal Goto Ichiri's situation, so she could only look at the tracks ahead with a sigh: "Ryo would never understand."

Yamada: "?"

After waiting for a while, the girl, who was late, finally appeared at the ticket checkpoint.

"Ah, it's Pochi-chan!"

Guided by Kita, everyone looked over.

The first thing that catches the eye is her long, pink hair, which is as beautiful as blooming cherry blossoms. However, unlike before, the hair is now divided into two sections and tied into pigtails that hang down on both sides.

Sapphire-blue pupils, pink lips, and snow-white skin slowly came into view. In addition, the girl was wearing a sailor uniform and a dark blue dress that her mother had bought for her, and her whole demeanor was completely transformed.

"Boqi looks so beautiful today, completely different from usual!"

Hongxia let out a surprised and somewhat enlightened exclamation, then glanced at Hachiman without making a sound. The latter's gaze was firmly fixed on the ticket checkpoint, completely unaware of her spying.

What's going on between these two?!

however.

Upon arriving at the ticket checkpoint, Goto Ichiri stopped in her tracks and then swayed as if she were about to fall.

"I feel dizzy, it's so hot, and I can see so much."

Goto Ichiri, feeling dizzy, took out her train ticket. In her vision, her right hand was already blurry and double-looking, and she couldn't even see the card reader clearly.

"We can't hold on much longer."

The powerless body was pulled down by the Earth's gravity, but at the critical moment, a strong hand suddenly supported it from behind.

"Are you okay?"

"Hikigaya-san?"

Goto Ichiri struggled to open her eyes, and then saw Hachiman supporting her waist and pulling her into his arms.

In an instant, her already rosy cheeks turned burning hot.

"No...no...I can walk by myself."

"You're not moving at all right now, so be quiet and let me take you to rest for a bit."

The somewhat forceful tone immediately calmed down the struggling Goto Ichiri.

Hachiman glanced expressionlessly at the contents of Hawkeye's eye, where Goto Ichiri's condition clearly displayed the "heatstroke" debuff.

I never thought this useless ability would actually come in handy one day.

[Insulting an eagle, is that it?]

On the platform, Hongxia and the others arrived a few seconds late.

"Hachiman, we're here to help you too!"

"Thank you. Let's go to the lounge next door first."

With the help of several people, Goto Ichiri was moved to the lounge, which had air conditioning and a beverage machine where people could buy drinks to cool off.

Kita bought a bottle of electrolyte drink and fed some to Goto Ichiri, after which her condition improved slightly.

Where am I?

"This is the lounge."

Nijika squatted down in front of Goto Ichiri with concern: "Pochi-chan, I'm sorry, it's too hot today. I shouldn't have let everyone go out at a time like this."

“That’s not Nijika’s problem.” Goto Ichiri shook his head, his face pale.

Fearing that people would be hesitant to invite her out again because of her poor health, she quickly explained, "It's my fault for not taking precautions against the heat. Red bean paste is a secret weapon!"

"Anyway, since Pochi-chan is in this state, let's skip the beach and go somewhere else."

Yamada Ryo glanced at the blazing sun outside and seized the opportunity to make a suggestion, which was met with nods of agreement from the others.

but.

"no!"

Goto Ichiri took the can of cold drink she was using to cool down her head and said very firmly, "I'm fine, Ryou-chan, please believe me!"

Ryo Yamada: No, I just don't want to go outside in this weather.

"This, Pochi-chan..."

Hongxia looked at her with a troubled expression, not knowing what to do.

"I'll take care of her. When we get to the beach, Goto can just rest on the side and not go into the sea. Is that alright?"

Hachiman stepped forward and said, and Goto Ichiri quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I won't go into the sea, I'll just watch from the side!"

"Okay, but if Pochi-chan really feels unwell, we'll go to the hospital!"

"it is good!"

It takes about an hour by train from Tokyo to the Kamakura seaside, which gives Goto Ichiri just enough time to recover.

At that moment, Hachiman took out the camera he had brought with him.

The source of the camera is self-evident; in short, I would like to thank Kaguya Shinomiya for her generous sponsorship.

The reason for taking out the camera was to document the end of the band's first team-building activity. Of course, the activity seemed to be overshadowed by the physical condition of one of the members, but the things that needed to be done still had to be done.

"Should this be the mode for shooting vlogs?"

Hachiman adjusted the camera's shooting mode and then aimed it at the four little ones sitting opposite him.

As soon as the camera turned to them, apart from Kita making a peace sign, the other three instinctively covered their faces.

"Hey, how are you guys supposed to film a vlog like this?"

Hachiman muttered a complaint under his breath.

Nijika rubbed her cheek: "Ah, sorry, Hachiman, how should I put it? Taking regular photos is fine, but I'm a little uncomfortable with filming videos..."

Kita reassured her, "It's alright, Nijika-senpai. Just pretend the camera isn't there."

"No, no, only Kita-chan can do that, right?"

"Yes."

Goto Ichiri leaned weakly on Nijika's shoulder, while Zero covered her face and nodded shyly. "The feeling of opening your eyes to find a camera pointed at you is like being judged."

Hongxia: "Uh, it's not that bad."

Yamada Ryo lowered his hand and made an "OK" gesture: "My opinion is different. Hachiman can take pictures, but he has to pay."

"Idiot Ryo, this is the band's job, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"sorry."

Hachiman put down the camera, muttered, and said, "Sorry, I'll be more careful from now on. Basically, I'll try my best to hide the camera, right?"

"Well, actually it's not that... Just let us know before you start filming."

"Ok."

Chapter 261, Episode 258: The Most Difficult Episode to Control Recoil

"Attention passengers, this is Katase-Enoshima Station. Please prepare to disembark with your belongings..."

In the quiet carriage, the announcer's voice echoed. Hachiman took off his headphones and stretched his body, which had become stiff from sitting for so long.

Then, he turned his gaze to the four girls huddled together in the carriage directly opposite him, exuding a strong lily-like aura.

If we disregard the faint snoring coming from who-knows-who, the scene is indeed quite beautiful.

Not wanting to frighten the four sleeping people, but having to wake them up, Hachiman was forced to make a decision that went against the ancestral laws.

Hachiman placed his hand on Goto Ichiri, gave him a gentle shake, and said, "We've arrived."

"Forehead..."

Goto Ichiri was probably too tired and showed no signs of waking up. Instead, Nijika next to him was startled and slowly opened her eyes, her pale red pupils then slowly turning around.

A second later, she suddenly stood up, and the other three fell back to where Hongxia had been, like dominoes. The strange feeling of weightlessness made them instantly lose their sleepiness.

"We've arrived at the station, everyone wake up!"

Kita rubbed his eyelids, then stretched like a cat: "Hey, have we arrived yet?"

Goto Ichiri & Yamada Ryo: "So sleepy, let's sleep a little longer..."

Hongxia sighed and covered her forehead: "You two, pull yourselves together, the car doors are about to close if you don't get up... Never mind, Hachiman, come help me!"

"Oh."

Hachiman responded and, under Nijika's instructions, forcibly led the two, who were half-conscious, out of the carriage.

As for the physical contact that may occur...

Well, all he could say was, "Ryo, if you don't work harder, you'll be sitting at the same table as some Ms. Hiraishoshita."

"call!"

The heat wave from outside swept over them, dispelling the last vestiges of drowsiness that lingered in Yamada Ryo and Goto Ichiri's bodies.
