Does gravity make me stronger?

Page 232

Why do I find it so difficult to say no to her...?

First it was Goto Ichiri, and now it's Takamatsu Akari, and that damned humanoid succubus Yukinoshita Yukino!

However, from another perspective, is it possible that the feelings between these two girls were too heavy, and even Yukinoshita could not escape them?

Woman, you've been captured by gravity!

Hachiman witnessed this scene, muttered a complaint under his breath, and then went to help: "Touka, I'm leaving Yukinoshita in your care."

"I already told you I'm fine."

"You're going to see Goto and the others next, aren't you? Do you want to stay in this unsteady state? Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not going to refuse to help you."

Yukino Yukinoshita was speechless after being told this, and it took her a long time before she finally accepted Takamatsu Akari's care.

The rest is simple.

Hachiman: "Suyo, you can sit with Chihaya."

Su Shi: "What about Hachiman?"

"I'll just stand to the side."

Just when he thought he could finally catch his breath, the words of those around him made Hachiman's heart clench again.

Chapter 230, Section 227: Aine senses the crisis.

'Am I just imagining things? I always feel that this long-haired Yukinoshita is more popular with Hachiman than the short-haired one.'

40-> 45

Hachiman paused slightly, then cast a complex glance at Nagasaki Motoyo, who was sitting on the stool with an expressionless face.

Clearly, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't notice Hachiman's gaze; she merely narrowed her eyes warily and unconsciously rubbed the pads of her fingers.

Such subtle movements, though insignificant, are an essential prelude to unlocking extraordinary wisdom.

'I initially thought Yukino wouldn't pose a threat, but now it seems it's necessary to be cautious.'

'But what should we do? Hachiman hasn't done anything inappropriate with Yukinoshita. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to interfere so rashly?'

45-> 50

Nagasaki Motoyo frowned as she thought about these things, her expression as dark and gloomy as if a storm had broken. But just a few seconds later, her expression brightened as if the clouds had parted and the sun had come out.

50-> 40

Hachiman pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what Nagasaki Motoyo was thinking, that she was able to release so much gravity on her own.

Hesitation leads to defeat.

Defeat my foot!

After listening to his heartfelt words, Hachiman sighed helplessly.

"Su Shi."

"What's wrong, Hachiman?"

Hearing her beloved's call, Nagasaki Motoyo's lips curved into a perfect smile. She turned slightly to the side and placed her hands obediently on her clasped thighs.

If Hachiman hadn't heard his inner thoughts just now, he would never have imagined that such a cheerful smile concealed such profound wisdom.

To prevent his insecure girlfriend from doing something strange again, Hachiman decided to do something.

But how exactly do you do it?

Seeing that Hachiman was staring at her, Nagasaki Motoyo's delicate face gradually flushed with an unnatural blush. Then, in a tone that was a little resentful and ninety-nine percent shy, she whispered.

"Hachiman, is there something strange on my face?"

"Ah, no, I was just spacing out."

Does that mean, "Look how mesmerized I am?"

Nagasaki Motoyo covered her mouth, flattered, and gently raised her watery eyes, which met Hachiman's somewhat dazed gaze.

She put on a serious face, then loosely clenched her fist and placed it in front of her cherry-red lips.

"Ahem, Hachiman, if you want to see, then look openly. After all, I'm your girlfriend now. And if you want a hug, you can have one too~"

What the heck is going on?!

Wait a minute, you said you could hug me?

I want a hug...

"Let's talk about this when we get back."

In an overly serious tone, Hachiman rejected the benefits offered by Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Ok."

I was rejected.

Despite having a legitimate reason, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

But unintentionally, she was surprised to find that behind that serious tone, especially in those darting eyes, there seemed to be a hint of eagerness.

As if regretting his decision, Hachiman scratched his head with a troubled expression.

Ah, it's okay to be more generous.

Oh no, I almost forgot that Hachiman is a very awkward guy.

As if he had discovered a treasure not on the treasure map, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but beam with joy, tilting his head and whispering in a voice only Hachiman could hear.

"Okawaii Kodo".

Red temperature in a second.

But the most outrageous thing is that the red warmth also comes with a silence effect.

I know, Su Shi is actually a bush [beep]!

"Soyorin, Hikigaya-kun, I'm going to the restroom."

Aion, who had been engrossed in scrolling through her phone, suddenly spoke up.

The two, engrossed in their flirting, were startled and awkwardly moved slightly in opposite directions.

Ai-yin, you didn't hear everything, did you?

They were speaking very softly, and the gymnasium was very noisy, so Ai-yin shouldn't have known about their conversation.

But what if...

Wait a minute, so what if I heard that?

No, it's still so embarrassing!

Fortunately, Aine's mental state and gravity were normal, but even so, Hachiman only breathed a sigh of relief when he watched her disappear into the crowd.

Taking advantage of Hachiman's still-shaken state, Nagasaki Motoyo seized the opportunity to speak.

"Hachiman, could you give me your hand?"

"what?"

He subconsciously reached out his hand, thinking the other person was about to do something, when the girl's soft little hand slipped into his palm like a water snake.

What are you doing? Ouch!

After a brief moment of surprise, Hachiman did not have the slightest thought of running away; he simply gripped the other person's hand tightly in return.

As if showing off a prized toy, Nagasaki Motoyo raised their hands, which were tightly joined together.

"Hugs are not allowed, but holding hands should be fine, right?"

"Well, whatever you want."

"Hmph, Hachiman has grown quite a bit since then, isn't that all thanks to me?"

"do not know."

He was clearly incredibly embarrassed, so why was Nagasaki Motoyo able to make fun of him so nonchalantly?

So annoying!

In reality, despite Nagasaki Motoyo's seemingly calm demeanor, her ears were already red beneath her pale yellow hair.

She said that only to hide her fluttering heart with a strong exterior.

after all.

Holding hands in front of so many people is like announcing to everyone that they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

No, they were a couple to begin with.

They wasted their time like this until Aine returned, at which point the two reluctantly parted.

"Oops!"

Seeing Hachiman frantically packing his schoolbag, Aine and Sose both expressed their concern.

"what happened?"

"I almost forgot something important."

He placed his seemingly heavy backpack in the corner and earnestly instructed Su Shi, "Could you please keep an eye on this bag for me? There are some very important things inside."

"Okay, no problem. And then?"

"I'm going somewhere else."

He looked towards the backstage area, and at the same time, Yukinoshita also stood up.

"I'll go with you."

Ai-yin was still confused: "Um, where are you guys going?"

"Backstage."

Hachiman gave a straightforward answer: "Goto and the others are all here. I plan to wander around for a bit and see if there's anything I can do to help."

"Oh, and what about Yukinoshita-san?"

"Goto and I have something to discuss."

Unlike Hachiman, who provided a detailed explanation, or perhaps feeling that it was unnecessary to explain, Yukinoshita simply offered a brief one-sentence explanation.

Hachiman: "Yukinoshita, are you feeling better?"

As soon as I finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through my thigh.

It wasn't very painful, but it came on very suddenly, almost making him jump up on the spot.

Su Shi, what are you doing?

Just as Hachiman turned back to confront the culprit, Nagasaki Motoyo silently let go of his hand and tilted her head innocently.

"what happened?"

Ignoring Hachiman's protesting expression, Nagasaki Motoyo continued, "Hachiman, you should go now. Don't waste any more time. I'll take good care of Touka-chan and Aine-chan."

Do you think I won't get angry if you act cute?

[Yeah, I want to make one when I get back!]

However, that's not where you pinch it~

Unable to do anything about this wicked woman, Hachiman could only lightly rub the spot where he had been pinched.

...

[Gravity value has been significantly reduced]

[Rewards Obtained: Random Ability Upgrader *1]

On his way backstage, Hachiman heard a familiar mechanical voice in his mind.

award?

Without pausing, Hachiman activated his mind, and a blue and white screen appeared in the air.

This reward came somewhat unexpectedly.

Is it because of the snow?
