Does gravity make me stronger?

"I'm sorry, Suze. This plan was only finalized in the last few days, so I haven't had time to inform you and Hachiman yet."

Xiangzi made an apologetic gesture and continued, "By the way, would Mygo like to join us too?"

Attending a music festival?

Should we go to Chiba?

Xiangzi, you want to aid the enemy, don't you?

Su Shi rested her index finger on her chin, pretending to think hard for a long time before answering, "Well, although I really want to participate, I'll pass. After all, our band's skills haven't reached that level yet."

Goto Ichiri: We don't have any either!

She wanted to refuse Xiangzi immediately, but considering it was an opportunity for her to learn, she hesitated.

The band ended, and now they lack this kind of stage experience.

Although the chances of passing the selection are slim, she still wants to give it a try.

Thinking about all this, Goto Ichiri timidly raised her hand, her shifty eyes revealing a hint of expectation: "Um, can I ask for everyone's opinion?"

Xiangzi: "No problem!"

...scatter

Back to the present.

"What?! How could such a thing happen?!"

After listening to Goto Ichiri's words, Hachiman felt that he had missed out on a lot.

Chiba Festival Tourism Festival, what is that?

It sounds like a commercial holiday deliberately created to stimulate consumption.

Putting aside the tourism festival issue, Xiangzi is going to perform in Chiba at that time.

Hachiman wasn't angry because he had kept the news from Shoko; he was just surprised and found it very sudden.

"Um, when is the tourism festival?"

Seeing Hachiman's excited expression, Goto Ichiri weakly replied, "Uh, probably this weekend."

This weekend?

That happened during the time he returned to Chiba.

Very good!

"Wait a minute, so what did Hongxia and the others say?"

When asked this question, Goto Ichiri's gaze became uneasy: "Well, actually, I haven't said yet."

"..."

"I'm sorry, it's so sudden, I don't know how to start!"

Goto Ichiri hurriedly switched to a sitting position, and just as he was about to kneel down, Hachiman forcibly helped him up.

"Then let me handle this. In any case, I am Maneja, the one who ended the band."

"really?"

Goto Ichiri cast a glance at him, a look of relief at having narrowly escaped death.

Hachiman sighed helplessly, "Really, but we'll have to talk about it later. I'm going to scout out the location now."

Watching the boy's receding figure, Goto Ichiri became worried under the parasol.

"Speaking of which, should I have just refused back then? Chiba is Hikigaya's hometown, and it would feel strange to go there, but it would also be a pity not to go."

"Oh dear, what should I do next?"

"If we get selected, it would be too embarrassing if we messed up the performance. Oh, no, we probably won't get selected... but if we don't get selected, it feels really bad."

Although reason tells her that ending the band would mean she wouldn't be selected, Goto Ichiri occasionally indulges in unrealistic fantasies.

"It would be really interesting to put on a great show in Hachiman's hometown."

With such a sweet dream in mind, Goto Ichiri curled up on the waterproof sheet and slowly closed her eyes.

Sleepiness crept in without me even realizing it.

When she opened her eyes again, one end of the sun had already sunk below the horizon, and the red glow of the sunset covered the beach, radiating a dazzling light.

There were far fewer tourists around, and many of them were packing their luggage, preparing to go home.

Suddenly waking from a dream, Goto Ichiri opened his eyes wide: "Wait a minute, what time is it?"

I quickly took out my phone, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw the time displayed on it.

18: 38.

She remembered arriving at the beach around 1 p.m., so why was it so late in the blink of an eye?

"Poch-chan, come take a picture with me!"

Facing the sea, Hongxia, who had already changed into casual clothes, ran over impatiently: "We're going back after we finish filming!"

"Hey hey!"

So, by sleeping, she missed the entire afternoon?

"Oh, what have I been doing?"

Goto Ichiri felt utterly devastated. He slowly stood up from the beach mat, head down, and walked towards the sea.

Hachiman stood on the beach with his camera, his skin appearing a bit tanned compared to before he fell asleep: "Goto-kun, your clothes..."

Taking swimsuit photos together is absolutely out of the question!

"Oh, I'm so sorry!"

Realizing that she was the only one still wearing a swimsuit, Goto Ichiri hurriedly returned to the changing room, and came out a moment later in casual clothes.

The photo shoot went smoothly, but Goto Ichiri felt very sad.

It was supposed to be her first team-building activity, but she first suffered from heatstroke, then fell into a deep sleep and never woke up. The activity ended before she had accomplished anything, and she seemed somewhat detached from the team.

"Goto-kun..."

Hachiman quietly approached and whispered, "I've already explained what happened this morning to Ijichi and the others."

what?

Before anyone could even process what was happening, Hongxia loudly announced:

"Everyone, get some rest when you get back, get yourself in the right state of mind, and make sure you pass Chiba's audition!"

Yamada Ryo quickly understood and nodded slightly: "From now on, Chiba will be the second division of the band."

Kita clenched his fist somewhat insecurely: "I'm so nervous. I didn't expect to be performing somewhere else so soon."

"that..."

Goto Ichiri looked at everyone in surprise, and after a moment, she realized what had happened: "Are we really going?"

"Seriously, isn't this an opportunity that Pochi-chan found?" Nijika pouted. "Well, we were also surprised that that timid Pochi-chan would actually want to go on stage one day."

Wait a minute, I feel like everyone has misunderstood something.

Goto Ichiri blinked in confusion, paused for a second, and then turned her gaze to a certain inconspicuous figure: "Um, Hachiman, may I ask what you said to Nijika-chan?"

"It's nothing." Hachiman shrugged innocently. "I just said that you want to participate in Chiba's music stage and hope everyone can help you, or something like that."

"Hey hey!"

Chapter 263, Page 260: Ruo Ye Mu: I will take care of your wife.

Although it seemed like she was being forced into it, Goto Ichiri appeared to be eager to do so.

However, if we let her do whatever she wants, it will probably be a long and drawn-out tug-of-war by the time we reach the seventh.

therefore.

Hachiman didn't mind using some underhanded tactics.

For example, when explaining, they deliberately used ambiguous phrases such as "Goto really wants to ask for everyone's opinion" and "This morning, he was discussing with me whether or not to go to Chiba."

If it were anyone else, people might have some guesses, but once they thought that the other person was that socially anxious little Goto Ichiri, everything became clear.

I remember Yamada Ryo almost said this with tears in his eyes: "That Pochi-chan, she's actually looking forward to going on stage."

As expected, with his simple guidance, the three of them immediately reached an agreement to participate in Chiba's stage live audition.

"Anyway, before we set off, everyone should practice the new song well!"

Yamada Ryo & Kita: "Oh!"

Goto Ichiri: "Huh? Huh?"

...

Before high tide, Hachiman returned the rented parasol and left the beach with the four little ones.

By the time they boarded the tram, it was already dark.

The interior of the carriage was surprisingly empty.

Apart from Goto Ichiri, who was unusually energetic after taking a nap, everyone else, including Hachiman, sat listlessly in their seats, dozing off.

His head drooped, an drowsy feeling that wouldn't go away shrouded his vision like a layer of fog, and Hachiman stared blankly ahead.

So sleepy, so tired.

I don't know why, but the back of my neck also hurts a bit.

Hachiman scratched the skin on the back of his neck, and the slight pain made him frown.

Sunburn?

Go back and apply some aloe vera gel...

After relaxing his body again, drowsiness swept over him like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing Hachiman.

Over the next few minutes, the boy slowly drifted off to sleep amidst the rhythmic swaying of the tram.

Therefore, he was completely unaware that on the other side of the carriage, a pair of deep, pale gold eyes were staring at him.

As always, Ruoye Mu spent the first day of summer vacation according to her family's arrangements.

In the morning, she attends various interest classes, including tea ceremony and zither playing, and after the classes, she goes to extracurricular tutoring classes.

The time I spend practicing guitar and chatting with friends is only a short while after school.

"I haven't practiced the next piece well enough yet."

Even a girl as emotionally detached as her couldn't help but complain about the pressure imposed on her by her extremely controlling parents.

however.

During this tedious and monotonous car ride, a unique figure was reflected in the golden pupils.

If Ye Mu is certain that he is not hallucinating.

The boy whom Xiangzi and Su Shi cherished like a treasure appeared before them on this unbearable night.

Although they were in front of each other, they were actually at least ten meters apart, spanning an entire carriage.

For some reason, Ruoye Mu recognized the other person in the crowd at a glance.

Why is he here?

"Xiangzi, Su Shi, are they here too?"

Based on the girl's observations, the three of them were inseparable after school. In addition, combined with what Su Shi had told her before, she had evidence to suspect that the three of them had formed some kind of abnormal relationship.

So, Wakaba Mutsu straightened his back, sat upright in the empty car seat, and observed intently.

"No."

"But there are other girls."

Wakaba Mutsu smelled a strange odor.

If her guess is correct, Su Shi, Xiangzi, and Hachiman should be in a romantic relationship.

Don't ask why three people can become a couple...
