Does gravity make me stronger?

Hachiman hummed in agreement, saying somewhat perfunctorily, "It looks great. Nijika-chan looks amazing in this outfit."

"Ugh, this is such a perfunctory response, isn't it?"

Hey, what else do you want me to say...?

Yamada Ryo and Kita were dressed in fairly normal swimsuits, but they were both rather conservative, and their figures were also just average, so they didn't arouse Hachiman's interest at all.

Therefore, attention naturally fell on the last person.

"scare!"

Originally thought to be the most conservative, Goto Ichiri changed into the most revealing clothes.

The pink swimsuit had a huge heart-shaped cutout at the chest, with a dark slit running through it, making you want to crawl inside...

No, he definitely didn't say that!

【Hey】

That damned dog system!

He instinctively looked away.

This unnatural movement naturally caught the attention of Goto Ichiri.

"I'm so sorry, the swimsuit I chose was terrible!"

"No, it suits you perfectly."

"Ugh?"

The two looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads away.

"Hachigaya-kun is really something, so innocent!"

Nijika patted Hachiman on the shoulder with a smug look on her face.

"I want you to take care of it!"

Goto Ichiri finally accepted her outfit, but still borrowed a jacket from Nijika to wear over it.

"You scoundrel!"

At Hongxia's command, the four girls headed towards the sea without prior arrangement, while Hachiman followed slowly behind, admiring their carefree backs.

"It's so hot..."

Hachiman, shielding his eyes from the sunlight with the back of his hand, couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

In this weather, even wearing flip-flops on the beach feels a bit hot. I don't know how Hongxia and the others can stand it without shoes.

Could it be that the beautiful girl's prison guards possess special heat-resistant abilities?

Let me lick it and I'll know.

Want to eat fart.

After walking a few steps, Hachiman lost interest in the azure sea, said something to the four people who were still chasing each other, and sheepishly returned to the sun umbrella to cool off.

About ten minutes later.

Goto Ichiri also came back.

"Hachiman, aren't you going to play?"

His tone was still a bit stiff, but much better than in the morning.

"No need, you guys play."

Hachiman shook his head, then noticed Goto Ichiri's awkwardly placed hands. He forced a smile and flashed the DSLR camera in his bag: "Wait a moment, I'll adjust the camera mode and then leave."

Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri's expression immediately stiffened.

"Oh, that's not what I meant."

'Is Hachiman deliberately distancing himself from me?'

His feelings of frustration reached his ears.

Hachiman opened his mouth as if to explain, but in the end he swallowed his words back, then shifted his position and voluntarily gave up his seat.

"Please sit down?"

"...Um."

Goto Ichiri sat down beside him somewhat shyly.

Because he had only walked around the shallows, the boy still smelled of shower gel, and this reassuring scent made Goto Ichiri unconsciously lower his guard.

"Hikigaya..."

"Did anything happen yesterday?"

It was interrupted.

Goto Ichiri kept his mouth open, paused for a moment, then looked deeply at Hachiman, bent his legs, and hid his face in his knees.

Her thoughts slowly drifted back to yesterday.

...

"Chiba, festival, tourism festival?"

Goto Ichiri read the words on the poster word by word, then stared blankly at Shoko and Sose, who were facing her, as if to say—

what is this?

Xiangzi quickly provided an explanation.

"The Chiba Festival Tourism Festival is said to be a very famous event in Chiba."

With a smile, Xiangzi showed the introductory materials he had prepared in advance on his phone.

however.

Goto Ichiri's attention was completely drawn to those fair and beautifully shaped hands, and she didn't understand what the former was saying at all.

Such beautiful hands...

To clarify beforehand, she doesn't have a hand fetish; she simply has a certain fondness for pretty girls.

wrong!

Toyokawa-kun is talking about serious matters right now, I can't let my mind wander!

To focus his attention, Goto Ichiri slapped his cheek.

"Goto-kun?"

"It's alright, please continue."

"Ah good."

Xiangzi could only continue, "There is a very interesting event at this tourism festival, which is the final music stage."

She scrolled down to the bottom of the brochure in one go.

The order of the tourism festival activities was marked in prominent red font.

Opening Ceremony -> Festival -> Musical Performance -> Fireworks Show -> Closing Ceremony

"I think I understand..."

Goto Ichiri nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Then I will continue."

At this point, Xiangzi revealed a confident smile: "Now for the important part, Goto-kun also has his own band, right? And I heard that you guys just started. In this situation, participating in more live performances will definitely be a great help."

"Um..."

Goto Ichiri nodded blankly.

The band definitely needs live performances to hone their skills, but what does that have to do with the tourism festival?

next moment.

She seemed to have thought of something terrible.

"Uh, well, we really need live performance opportunities, but participating in this kind of show is just... oysters!"

It's certainly a good thing to be able to perform on stage, but the problem is, they don't deserve it...

The band's fan base is only a few hundred at most, making them a very obscure, low-tier band.

Also.

Their actual skill level is also limited. They can barely handle a high school stage, but for a large stage like this, what are they doing?

Having probably anticipated Goto Ichiri's resistance, Shoko said very sincerely, "Goto-kun, please don't belittle yourself. I was fortunate enough to hear your live performance, and it was definitely a very memorable show!"

"Hey, thanks."

Goto Ichiri blushed slightly at first, then shook his head vigorously: "But, but our skills are still far from good enough, absolutely not!"

Beside her, Su Shi calmly reminded her, "Well, Boqi-chan, don't rush, let Xiangzi-chan finish speaking first, okay?"

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"It's ok."

Xiangzi didn't care at all: "Goto, this live performance isn't something you can just sign up for. It's more like a competition. The bands that sign up need to go through an audition, and then 10 outstanding bands will be selected to perform on stage."

"Soga".

If Xiangzi encouraged her to participate in the tourism festival's live performance, she wouldn't know how to refuse.

Now that I know there's a selection process involved, I'm immediately relieved.

Although it's a bit unfair to say this, with the band's current playing skills, they definitely won't pass the audition.

At this moment, Xiangzi suddenly changed the subject: "Goto-kun, speaking of which, did you know that Su Shi and I each have a band?"

Goto Ichiri's gaze fell on Sose, then she nodded: "Yeah, it's Touka-chan's band and...A...Mother Chicken Card?"

"It's AveMujica, A, V, E, M, U, J, I, C, A!"

Xiangzi emphasized the name of his band very seriously.

For some reason, Goto Ichiri was filled with respect and nodded obediently, just like when a teacher calls on someone's name in class.

"I understand, it's AveMujica!"

"Yes, Goto is very smart."

Shoko happily patted Goto Ichiri on the head, and the latter gave a blissful grin.

"Cough cough."

Su Shi coughed lightly, pulling the two who were somewhat lost in thought back to reality.

Xiangzi: "Oh, I'm sorry, let's get down to business."

Goto Ichiri: "Um, I still don't quite understand. Could you tell me the relationship between these two things?"

"Sigh..."

Xiangzi tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, looking troubled.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

Faced with this unexpected apology, Shoko smiled helplessly: "Goto-kun, if you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to keep saying sorry."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"..."

Xiangzi rubbed her temples, trying to calm herself down: "Well, please keep what I'm about to say a secret, Goto-san."

"I will!"

Goto Ichiri's face was serious.

After receiving a positive reply, Xiangzi said, "Actually, AveMujica will be invited to participate in this music live."

Before Goto Ichiri could speak, Sose immediately cast a surprised look at her: "Shoko-chan, I've never heard you mention this before."
