Does gravity make me stronger?

Page 160

At that moment, it felt as if the whole world consisted only of her and him.

On the other side, Nagasaki Motoyo, standing in the far corner of the stage, was tense all over. She first glanced anxiously at Shoko, and then her trembling gaze moved to Hachiman.

What are these two people thinking as they look at each other?

What were they trying to say in their eyes as they looked at each other?

Xiangzi, why did you hurt me so mercilessly again...?

Nagasaki Motoyo's Dao heart shattered instantly.

Because it's a traditional love song, the bassist has almost no room to shine, which perfectly matches her current situation. She watches her beloved boy and her former beloved girl looking at each other, and she is powerless to do anything about it. An unnamed emotion takes root in her heart.

"Xiangzi, you're so despicable..."

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly realized why Shoko, who had always been so reluctant to sing, had taken the initiative to go on stage as the lead singer this time.

So that's why!

but.

Does being caught in a surprise attack by the enemy necessarily mean being routed and fleeing in disarray?

Nagasaki Motoyo could only say "no!"

The weak Nagasaki Motoyo of the past is dead—

After calming herself down, Nagasaki Motoyo continued playing the bass; however, the battle horn in her mind had already been silently sounding.

The music ended.

Everyone left the stage.

"Phew, that was awesome." Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to really enjoy the performance, looking quite pleased with herself. "Thank you, Hachiman, for giving me such a great show."

"A good show?" Hachiman looked at Yukinoshita with confusion, not understanding what she meant.

"Are you pretending to be stupid? Do you even know what your relationship with those two girls is called?"

"This..." Hachiman awkwardly turned his head away.

"Hehe, this is really interesting. It's so great to be able to come on vacation this time, isn't it, Yukino?"　

　Yukino ran over and rubbed her younger sister's cheek, but was quickly slapped away by the latter.

"Sister, please don't touch me without permission." Yukino Yukinoshita said coldly, and then looked at Hachiman with a strange gaze.

What exactly was the "good show" that my sister was talking about?

"I'm sorry, Yukino."

Yukinoshita apologized insincerely, but quickly switched back to a playful expression. "Well, Yukino, let me ask you something first, you don't seem to have a particular fondness for dead fish eyes, do you?"

"Ha, I really don't know what nonsense you're talking about, sister?" Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and decided to stop communicating with her eccentric sister.

"Also, if you're talking about whether I'd like that awkward guy, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but—"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked down at Hachiman directly, and Hachiman shrank his shoulders as he felt the pressure of her gaze.

The girl tilted her head playfully: "Maybe a girl who likes bugs will appear."

You woman, you're calling me a bug!

Hachiman inwardly grimaced at Yukino Yukinoshita, wondering which blind fool would ever fall for such a sharp-tongued woman.

"We'll be going now, Yukino. Mother wants us to go back!"

"Ah."

The Yukinoshita sisters quickly left the scene, while Hiratsuka Shizuka walked over and patted Hachiman on the shoulder with a serious expression: "Kid, let me give you a piece of advice."

"What?" Hachiman looked up and saw Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly raise her middle finger: "You're such a popular guy!"

"what?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka is gone.

At this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko remained where they were.

Because of the band's performance, our original plan to go sightseeing in Chiba City with Nagasaki Motoyo has been completely delayed. It's already 6 p.m. and the sky is gradually getting dark.

Hachiman was a little hesitant to look at the two of them.

How should I put it? The process was enjoyable. At least being confessed to by a beautiful girl through song lyrics was really exciting, giving me a thrill of playing dumb to outsmart her.

But the result, without a doubt, was agonizing.

Especially in front of a woman who is already quite calculating.

"Hey, wanna go eat together?"

After thinking for a long time, Hachiman could only decide to change the subject for the time being.

"Ah."

Xiangzi was a little shy, but this was the first time she had confessed her feelings since leaving her mother's womb, and she had no idea that she should face the boy she liked afterward.

Is it okay if it's just the same as usual?

So, what was Hachiman's reply like?

He should understand what I mean, right?

Thinking of this, Xiangzi suddenly noticed that another girl standing shoulder to shoulder with her had taken a step forward.

So, she said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Su Shi, would you like to come with us?"

To their surprise, Nagasaki Motoyo did not show any displeasure; instead, she maintained her usual gentle smile.

"Of course! What would you like to eat? How about seafood? Hachiman, would you like some oysters?"

"Uh, whatever."

Hachiman casually replied, though he found it strange, but when he saw that the gravity value above Nagasaki Motoyo's head was still within the normal range, he didn't think much of it.

The three of them went to the hotel restaurant together.

Dinner was a classic buffet, and the three of us each took a plate and filled it with our favorite dishes.

Shoko would occasionally serve Hachiman food with delight. Nagasaki Motoyo saw this but didn't say anything; she simply brought him oysters one by one.

51-> 49

After rechecking the gravity reading on Nagasaki Motoyo's head, Hachiman couldn't help but feel a little curious.

No, Tuko, is there something wrong with your gravity display? Why does Nagasaki Motoyo seem a bit strange?

[Absolutely no problem]

serious?

【Forced truth】

While confirming with the system, the number of oysters on the plate kept increasing, and Hachiman couldn't help but say, "Um, we have enough oysters, I can't eat anymore..."

"Good."

Nagasaki Motoyo finally stopped sending oysters and started giving Hachiman some salmon instead.

"Hachiman, eat more fish, it's good for your health."

"Oh."

In my opinion, eating more seafood is to help you supplement your zinc intake.

Zinc supplementation?

Yes, that way I can stay erect all night.

???

The atmosphere among the three was a bit awkward, but they managed to finish dinner without any problems.

That evening, when it was time to go back to the room to rest, Nagasaki Motoyo made a very unusual suggestion.

"Hachiman, I'll share a room with Shoko-chan tonight. Can you sleep alone in room 202?"

I couldn't ask for more!

Hachiman almost blurted out what was on his mind.

In fact, he had been thinking about sleeping that night on his way back to his room.

Nagasaki Motoyo probably only booked one room, but it's impossible for him to sleep in the same room as Nagasaki Motoyo.

But booking another room wouldn't be reasonable either.

The only feasible solution is to switch rooms with Xiangzi, with Xiangzi sleeping in Xiangzi's room and Xiangzi sleeping in the same room as Nagasaki Motoyo.

This leads to a problem that is obvious to the naked eye: two tigers cannot share one mountain.

Nagasaki Motoyo and Shoko were already estranged, and the performance that afternoon made their relationship even more complicated. If they were forced to stay in the same room, they might end up fighting that night.

Therefore, when he heard Nagasaki Motoyo suggest changing rooms, Hachiman was overjoyed: "No problem!"

After a pause, Hachiman asked again, "Are you two okay sleeping together tonight?"

“Of course.” Nagasaki Motoyo smiled.

Xiangzi did not refute this, as this development was actually the one that best suited her inner thoughts.

The three parted ways at the door, and Hachiman tidied his clothes and went to soak in the hot spring.

Because the hotel had separate baths for men and women, he wasn't worried about Nagasaki Motoyo attacking him. His only fear was whether Nantong might be in the men's bath.

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. The entire hot spring bathing process went very smoothly, and Hachiman returned to his room around nine o'clock.

My train ticket back to Tokyo is for noon, so I can sleep in late in the morning. The only downside is that I won't have time to see Komachi before I get back to Tokyo.

Never mind, it's not a big problem. I can come back during summer vacation.

After setting the alarm, Hachiman scrolled through his phone for a while before going to sleep.

In room 201, two beautiful girls, both having just showered, were dressed in loose clothing and resting on their respective beds.

Lying flat on the soft, high-quality mattress, Xiangzi relaxed her body slightly, while at the same time glancing at Nagasaki Motoyo with great confusion.

This girl has been acting strange since the afternoon. Was it because that performance was too much of a shock for her?

In addition, she couldn't understand why Nagasaki Motoyo would take the initiative to suggest switching rooms. Wouldn't it be better for her to sleep in the same room as Hachiman, without having to worry about her?

Could it be that she's actually using a diversionary tactic, planning to sneak into Hachiman's room after I fall asleep tonight?

Thinking of this, Xiangzi suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, that must be it!

Given Nagasaki Motoyo's personality, how could she possibly be so obedient!

Just then, Nagasaki Motoyo looked over with her dull gaze and said in a low voice.

"Xiangzi, do you know that the more cunning a person is, the more likely they are to fall into unexpected predicaments?"

Why are you bringing this up?

"So, I decided to do things based on my feelings."

"I don't understand what you mean."

Nagasaki Motoyo turned to look at her: "Shoko-chan, I've always felt that you're getting in my way, that we're irreconcilable enemies. But this afternoon I realized, what is the point of all this arguing?"

"?"

Sensing that Nagasaki Motoyo's thought process was a bit off, Shoko had a bad feeling: "Motoyo, what are you thinking?"

"What I mean is, let's do it together."

What are we going to do together?

"Humph."

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled gently, slowly walked to Shoko's bed, stroked her cheek, and said in a seductive tone, "Do what you want. Tonight, we'll go to Hachiman's room together."

"Are you crazy!?"

Xiangzi has always been a traditional girl, which is why she insists on focusing on her career before dating.

In fact, a year ago, in her view of relationships, anything intimate before marriage was forbidden.
