Does gravity make me stronger?

"Are you serious?" Kaguya Shinomiya narrowed her eyes.

"Yes."

It's obvious that Hachiman Hikigaya and Mygo have a close relationship, without needing to investigate too deeply.

What the other party is saying so far is highly credible.

Kaguya Shinomiya lowered her head, thought for a minute, and quickly replied, "Okay, I promise you, I will make you the top student in your grade at Haneoka Academy."

"Then the deal is done."

Hachiman's plan had not been exposed. He glanced at the passing scenery outside the window and felt much more relaxed.

“Starting tomorrow, I will pick you up at your school gate every day.”

"Wait a minute, let's forget about that!"

Hachiman quickly refused.

If Kaguya Shinomiya were to wait at the school gate in a luxury car every day, who knows how much trouble she would cause in the future.

Moreover, it would be difficult to explain if Xiangzi and Deng misunderstood.

Imagine that one day, Xiangzi, who had just finished class and was about to go to work, saw Hachiman get into a long, black luxury sedan, and in the spacious back seat of the car was a beautiful and charming woman.

Xiangzi: Why did you get into another woman's car?

Hachiman: I'm just going there to study.

Xiangzi: You're lying! You just like money, you scumbag!

Actually, Kaguya Shinomiya is pretty good too; she's rich and has long, straight black hair.

Tongzi, have you ever seen Tokyo Bay at four in the morning?

Hachiman silently muttered a curse to himself.

Ever since he learned that the girl in front of him was very likely the daughter of the Shinomiya family, he dared not have any improper thoughts about Shinomiya Kaguya.

He even thought that if anyone dared to harass Kaguya Shinomiya, they might be turned into a human sculpture and sunk into the sea the next day.

"Whatever. I'll give you a location; figure out how to get there yourself." Kaguya Shinomiya didn't insist any further.

The location for the study was thus agreed upon.

Incidentally, Hachiman also told Kaguya Shinomiya about his nightly part-time job, and to his surprise, he was immediately met with a barrage of criticism from her.

"Stop working. If you're going to study, then give it your all. Or do you think you can easily climb to first place with your 40th-ranked ranking?"

Not working is impossible; without a job, there's no income, and without income, you'll starve...

wrong!

Hachiman paused for a second, then suddenly realized that something was off about Kaguya Shinomiya's words.

"Wait a minute, how do you know my ranking?!"

Hachiman couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

Haneoka Academy's grades are only released to teachers and students within the school. Unless he accidentally lets it slip, students outside the school cannot know his specific grades.

Kaguya Shinomiya merely raised the corners of her mouth indifferently: "These things are no secret to me at all."

"..."

Dangerous!

Realizing he shouldn't delve too deeply into the matter, Hachiman abruptly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I need to prepare a gift for the teacher in advance. Shinomiya-kun, what do you think would be appropriate?"

"No need to see me off," Kaguya Shinomiya said casually, arms crossed.

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Although Hachiman also dislikes social etiquette, it is a formal occasion after all. If he does not perform the proper etiquette, it would not only be disrespectful to his tutor, but also bring shame to Kaguya Shinomiya, who helped him.

I wonder what kind of teacher Kaguya Shinomiya hired. Is his salary even enough to buy her souvenirs?

"I already said I don't need it, because I am the teacher, and I don't need your gift."

"is it?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Hachiman suddenly snapped out of it. "Wait a minute, you said it was you, teacher?"

"What, is that not allowed?"

Meeting Hachiman's surprised gaze, Kaguya Shinomiya showed no fear, instead puffing out her thin chest...

Tsk, this size is probably even more pitiful than Yukinoshita.

Before Kaguya could notice, Hachiman quickly averted his inappropriate gaze: "Shinomiya-kun, I know you have excellent grades, but studying and teaching others are two different things."

"Don't worry, I've taught you enough. If you're still not at ease, I swear on the honor of the Shinomiya family, I will make you the top student in your grade."

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya's confident and resolute demeanor, Hachiman couldn't say anything.

Before getting off the train, Kaguya Shinomiya gave a special instruction: "Be prepared for the next month."

"Then please."

...

On the stage of the National Theater, Xiangzi, having finished his final rehearsal, gazed at the countless empty seats before him, lost in thought.

The next moment, I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulder.

"Xiangzi-chan, why are you standing here alone, lost in thought?"

The purple-haired girl wearing a black mask pounced on Xiangzi's back, her enormous breasts cushioning the back of his head. Because of the bra, they weren't soft and bouncy, but rather a bit hard.

Feeling the fullness behind him, Xiangzi suddenly thought of a girl with a similarly mature figure.

Tsk...

Xiangzi pursed his lips, dispelling the imagery in his mind, and coldly pushed away Yutenji Ruomai's hand: "Miss Yutenji, please let go of me, it's too hot."

"Ugh, so cold, I don't want this~"

Yutenji Wakana twisted her waist coquettishly, a movement that accentuated her exaggerated figure. Coupled with her alluring purple eyes, she was irresistible to both men and women.

However, Xiangzi wasn't buying it.

“Miss Yutenji, I have work to do, please stop bothering me.”

"Ok."

Under Xiangzi's insistence, Youtiansi Ruomai reluctantly let go, her expression like that of a primary school student who had lost a toy, looking aggrieved.

At the other end of the stage, under the deliberately dimmed spotlight, a blonde girl slowly walked out.

She also wore a black lace mask and a gorgeous costume for the performance, exuding a captivating aura with every move.

"Miss Meow Dream, Xiangzi-chan is sick recently, please don't trouble her."

"Hey, Xiangzi, are you sick?"

Yutenji Wakana covered her cherry-like mouth, her face full of surprise.

Xiangzi simply shook his head: "It's nothing, just a minor cold, I'm almost fully recovered now."

"That's good, but we can't let it affect tomorrow's performance."

Yutenji Ruomai's words of concern did not offer any comfort; instead, they struck Xiangzi's heart like a heavy hammer.

No, it won't affect tomorrow's performance in any way.

After saying that, Yutenji Wakana seemed to have lost interest in Shoko and quickly moved closer to the blonde beauty: "Speaking of which, Hatsuko-chan is cheating. Didn't you say you were going to call me Meow-Mew-chan?"

"Hey..."

Hatsuko... Mikasa Hatsuka didn't know how to answer, so she could only give an awkward but polite smile.

Why are you the only one who's related to us?

"It's Hai Zi!"

Yawata Kairin, holding her bass guitar, made a sarcastic remark with a blank expression, while AveMujica's last member, Wakaba Mutsumi, stood alone in a corner, observing everyone without moving.

This is the daily routine of this band. There always feels like something is off, but that doesn't matter. Xiangzi's purpose in forming this band wasn't to play house, but to make money.

I wonder how many band members would harshly criticize Xiangzi after hearing her true thoughts, but her purpose is so pure, and she doesn't feel there's anything shameful about forming a band for money.

On the contrary, those who talk about dreams but are actually worried about their fan base dropping are annoying.

AveMujica was founded with the interests of all parties in mind, a fact that is common knowledge.

Xiangzi removed the black lace mask from her face. It was made of a skin-friendly material, so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable even after staying in it for a long time, and she herself liked this look very much.

With the mask on, she was no longer a woman named Toyokawa Shoko, but Oblivionis.

Removing the mask signifies returning to reality, and Xiangzi must once again confront this cold, indifferent world.

She shared the same idea as Wakaba Mutsu, except that the child was simply happy because it covered most of her face.

Just as the group was packing up to leave, Xiangzi's phone rang.

Haneoka Academy Office: Toyokawa Shoko, you have been granted accommodation at Haneoka Dormitory. Please bring the following documents to complete the check-in process by next Friday (xx/xx/xx)...

The appearance of this message left Xiangzi standing there, puzzled.

She initially thought the school had sent the wrong person the card to, but there was nothing wrong with the name on it.

Then, Xiangzi remembered what Hachiman had said to her before she left home that morning.

"Did Hachiman really get a dorm spot?"

She was both surprised and delighted. She was delighted that she could leave that awful rental apartment, but surprised that Hachiman had managed to apply for a dormitory in just one day.

Xiangzi never thought he would be able to live in the school dormitory, and even if he got in, it would be at least the next semester.

But reality gave her a big surprise.

After the initial surprise, Xiangzi felt a pang of guilt.

In this way, she owed Hachiman another favor, but what could she do for him?

With no money, no power, no resources, and even a huge debt, if life were a stock market, then Toyokawa Shoko would be the worst stock.

Aside from being slightly attractive, she has nothing else to offer that would attract attention.

But Hachiman is never short of beautiful girls around him.

It seems that marriage is the only option. After the marriage, she will have to make it up to Hachiman.

As he thought about it, Xiangzi's originally pale face turned rosy, which startled Ruoye Mutsu.

"Xiangzi, are you feeling unwell?"

Her childhood friend's reminder snapped her out of her reverie, and she immediately replied, "Oh, I'm fine."

Are you really okay?

Why is Xiangzi's face so red if nothing's wrong...?

Wakaba Mutsu stared blankly at her, opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end gave up.

After the rehearsal, Xiangzi took his phone and went to a private toilet stall, his fair fingers flying lightly across the electronic screen.

She was in a good mood.

Xiangzi: Hachiman, I received the news that I've moved into the school dormitory. Thank you so much for your help; I really don't know how to thank you enough.

A short while later, Hachiman replied to the message.

Hachiman: It's alright, but staying in the dorm isn't a long-term solution. You should also find a way to explain things to your father.

Hachiman's words reminded Xiangzi of something.

Although we have a more suitable place to live, we still need to explain things properly to my father.

According to Xiangzi's estimation, as long as she continues to provide for her, her father shouldn't cause her any trouble.

Moreover, AveMujica is debuting tomorrow, and if all goes well, her income will be plentiful, and it will only be a matter of time before she pays off her debts.

But no matter what, I still need to talk to my father about it.

After exchanging messages with Hachiman on his phone for a while, Shoko walked out of the restroom. The time was exactly seven o'clock.

"Xiangzi-chan, wanna go eat together?"
