Does gravity make me stronger?

Page 213

Having had his previous experience, Hachiman wasn't that surprised; it only deepened his impression of the system as chaotic and evil.

"I just didn't expect you to like young girls..."

[You're lying, I didn't!]

After making a few jokes, Hachiman continued browsing unread messages.

at this time.

The phone went black, and a call came in. Hachiman paused for a moment when he saw the name displayed on the screen before pressing the call button.

A lively and lovely female voice came through the receiver.

"Good evening, Onii-chan!"

On the train, in order not to break the tacit understanding between the passengers, Hachiman barely suppressed his loud tone, but he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

Good evening, Komachi.

"Onii-chan, is something bothering you today?"

"Huh, how did Komachi know?"

　 He reasonably guessed that Nagasaki Motoyo might have secretly complained to Komachi after returning home, and the girl had come to question him in a fit of anger.

"Idiot Onii-chan, of course I can tell from your trashy tone."

"Um, didn't Su Shi tell you something?"

"Sister Su Shi?"

"Did Onii-chan upset Suze-neechan again?"

"This is really troublesome, Onii-chan. Whatever happened, it's all your fault." (Group)

Having dismissed his concerns about Nagasaki Motoyo, Hachiman adopted a smug tone: "Hey, I can't accept this. Putting aside the facts, does Motoyo really have no problems at all?"

"Because it's already Onii-chan's greatest blessing that such a dignified and gentle girl like Su-se-neechan can talk to him."

"Ah, how about we let Sister Su Shi be my biological sister?"

"This onii-chan is really useless."

Hachiman gritted his teeth: "Damn it, I'm your own brother!"

"What does it matter? Anyway, Sister Su Shi will marry into the family eventually, right?"

"..."

The siblings' conversation was so simple yet heartwarming.

After exchanging a few playful banter, Hachiman chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Komachi, Onii-chan has run into some trouble lately."

"Onii-chan was able to joke just now, which means it's not a big deal. So, acting cute won't work. In fact, Onii-chan acting cute is kind of disgusting."

"No, no, no, it's actually really serious."

"Well, then Komachi will reluctantly listen to what Onii-chan has to say."

Holding his phone, Hachiman found an empty seat and sat down, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Even the tsundere Komachi is cute~"

"Ugh~"

"Let's talk about it when I get back to my dorm. Phone calls outside are too expensive."

"it is good!"

More than ten minutes later, Hachiman returned to his dormitory and dialed Komachi's number again.

Over the phone, Hachiman explained to Komachi in great detail the history of Crychic and all the things that had happened during that time.

Finally, a series of sighs came from the phone: "Onii-chan, you really have become a two-timing scumbag..."

"Hey, if you keep doing this, I'm going to hang up."

Hachiman curled his lip.

"Sorry, Onii-chan, Komachi was just joking, hehe."

Coupled with her playful and cute tone, it's as if you can really see Komachi holding her phone and making cute poses.

"Well, now Onii-chan should just wait patiently. Suze-neechan should calm down on her own."

Is that so?

"Well, the only thing that worries Komachi is Onii-chan's attitude."

"I?"

"Yeah, didn't Onii-chan already accept Shoko-neechan's confession?"

"Hey, don't bring up things you shouldn't talk about."

"So, honestly, does Onii-chan like Shoko-neechan?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, it means you agree. What about Su-se-neechan? Komachi likes Su-se-neechan too."

"That's why I'm having such a headache right now."

"What a hassle. Onii-chan is always such a hassle, but Komachi is used to it, so it's okay."

"However, Su Shi-nee and Xiangzi-nee have only known Onii-chan for two months. If it were Komachi, the thought of living with such an awkward boy for the rest of her life would make her want to die of anger."

Hachiman sat upright on the bed, feeling guilty as he endured his younger sister's blunt criticism.

"Red bean paste, a private Marseille..."

"Well, speaking of which, Onii-chan, although Komachi has been joking, have you ever considered marrying your two older sisters?"

"Hey, isn't that illegal?"

"Also, a friendly reminder, Komachi, we were just talking about the band's interpersonal relationships, weren't we?"

"What? Aren't we talking about Onii-chan's love life?"

Komachi's surprised tone came through the loudspeaker.

"Let's talk about the band first!"

"Good good."

Komachi's voice sounded extremely powerless and helpless.

"I think Sister Su Shi must be very conflicted right now."

"How to say?"

"On one hand, she misunderstood Xiangzi-neechan, causing their relationship, which could have been reconciled, to become tense again. On the other hand, she'll probably be very troubled about how to face Onii-chan next."

"what?"

Hachiman did not understand.

"Well, I just feel like it's too despicable of me to keep bothering you like this. Should I give you to Sister Xiangzi or something? Anyway, girls' thoughts are very complicated."

"..."

Hachiman fell silent again.

He had considered this possibility.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo's attitude tonight did not seem so worried; instead, she reiterated her declaration of attack.

Of course, this is just what Motoyo Nagasaki said on the surface. If she were to open up, we might hear a different story.

"Well, given Onii-chan's personality, there's probably no solution, right? Should we just marry both of his older sisters at the same time?"

"If I do that, my parents will beat me to death, won't they?"

"No, my parents are very supportive."

"Hey?"

Hachiman's hand trembled, and the phone screen almost fell to the ground.

This is also supported?

Just as Hachiman was racking his brains over this, Komachi suddenly suggested, "Speaking of which, Onii-chan, Komachi wants to come to Tokyo tomorrow. Can you come and keep me company?"

Chapter 217, Page 214: Xiangzi: Tanosi

"What's going on? Why did the topic change so quickly?" Hachiman was taken aback.

One second they're criticizing Mygo's love-hate relationship, the next they're talking about a real-life event. Has Komachi been corrupted by people online?

"What did Onii-chan say?"

"Hey, Komachi, you're coming over? Of course, Onii-chan is happy to welcome you..."

As he spoke, Hachiman glanced casually at the schedule on the calendar, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

Damn Kaguya Shinomiya!

Hearing Wu's silence on the other end of the phone, Komachi asked in a puzzled tone, "Moshi moshi, Onii-chan, can you hear me? Is the signal bad?"

"No, the signal is very good. Can you come at another time? I really can't make it tomorrow."

"Waaaaah, Onii-chan doesn't love Komachi anymore..."

The receiver carried the soft, heartbroken sobs of a young girl.

Does it sound good?

It sounds good, but it's just fake crying...

"I'm sorry, Komachi, Shoko is moving tomorrow, and I promised to help her move. Also, I have to go to a study session somewhere else this afternoon."

"Oh, so you're going to help Sister Xiangzi? That's perfect. If I come early, I can help Sister Xiangzi clean her room."

You mustn't do that, benefactor.

Hachiman couldn't bear to let her come all this way to clean, so he immediately refused: "No, it's too much trouble for you..."

"Waaaaah, Komachi is so touched, but what Komachi likes to do most is to say no to those who think they're right!" JO-machi said passionately.

Hachiman's lips twitched, and he sighed, rubbing his forehead: "Isn't it better to rest at home? Onii-chan doesn't even have time to rest..."

Upon hearing this, Komachi lowered her voice furtively.

"Onii-chan, I'll let you in on a little secret. Actually, my parents sent me to Tokyo this time."

"Mom and Dad, why?"

"Of course, I'm here to observe the relationship between Onii-chan and his two older sisters. Actually, they are quite concerned about Onii-chan's future."

Instead of worrying about this, you should give them more living expenses...

Komachi spoke with absolute certainty, but Hachiman's intuition told him that he couldn't believe a word she said.

"Really?"

"Really? And if Onii-chan refuses, I won't get the travel allowance my dad gave me... Oops, I let it slip."

"Hey! Hey!"

"Anyway, it's settled then, Onii-chan, you have to pick me up at the station tomorrow!"

"Ok."

The two chatted for a while about tomorrow's plans.

Finally, it was decided that in the morning, Komachi would help them tidy up the room, and in the afternoon, Shoko would accompany Komachi to go out and play. As for the cost of the outing?

Old man, give me some popcorn!

The only regret was that Hachiman couldn't accompany him, as he had to keep his promise to Kaguya Shinomiya.

It's okay if he doesn't get first place in the grade, but if he skips that rich girl's classmate, he might become the Giant of Light and protect the Pacific Ocean tomorrow.

The next day.

As soon as dawn broke, Hachiman had already finished washing up.

Although it's a move, it's impossible to just hire a moving company. First, I don't have the money, and second, I don't have enough stuff.

Haneoka Academy boasts top-notch facilities, and a complete set of bedding is provided upon check-in. To this day, Hachiman still uses the quilt provided by the school, which is of decent quality.
