Does gravity make me stronger?

“Poch-chan has become a big shot who far surpasses us, so don’t worry.” Yamada Ryo patted Nijika on the shoulder and took out his phone earnestly: “Look, the comments section is full of messages about Poch-chan.”

"Huh, really?"

Since leaving the stage, Hongxia hasn't dared to look at the band's social media channels.

On Yamada Ryo's phone screen, their number of followers suddenly reached three thousand, and even more new followers were added with each refresh.

"Thanks to Boqi-chan, we've become quite famous," Yamada Ryo said smugly. "From now on, let Boqi-chan confess her feelings during our opening segment."

However, no sooner had he spoken than Yamada Ryo tasted the deadly blow of Nijigasaki.

"Come on, my foot!"

"Auntie, hit me!"

"Um, I think I got through to them," Goto Ichiri said softly, not daring to look up at her teammates' reactions.

“Of course!” Kita nodded repeatedly: “Hachigaya-kun even cried.”

Yamada Ryo & Nijika: "Huh?"

"Wait a minute, Kita-chan, Hachiman-kun is so far away from us, how did you find him?"

Although Nijika was also looking for Hachiman in the audience, she couldn't find him no matter what she did, and as a result, she lost focus on the drumbeats.

So, how did they find Kita?

"Ah, I just went with my gut feeling..."

Kita couldn't quite explain this feeling either. She was naturally more sensitive to sightlines and immediately spotted Hachiman's location.

"Well, anyway, Hachiman will be here soon. Pochi-chan, you should ask him carefully today, don't just leave without knowing anything."

"Ah."

Goto Ichiri nodded timidly. Although she had confessed her feelings that morning in the heat of the moment, she was a little afraid to face the outcome.

It's probably another rejection...

However, she would no longer run away; no matter what, she was determined to speak her mind.

A moment later, a familiar figure appeared around the corner.

"Poch-chan, we'll go inside first. You and Hachiman have a good chat!"

"Hey?"

After saying that, Nijika led the other two into the train station, leaving only Hachiman and Goto Ichiri behind.

"Would you like to sit down over there?"

To ease the tense atmosphere between the two, Hachiman pointed to the coffee shop next door.

Goto Ichiri wanted to agree, but when she thought of her teammates waiting for her, she shrank her neck and shook her head.

Does that mean it's right here?

"Hachiman, um, I feel really ashamed to say this, but could you give me... an answer?"

As she spoke, Goto Ichiri bit her tongue again, but this time she didn't back down and spoke it all in one breath.

"Ah."

"Does 'um' mean...?"

Goto Ichiri gripped her skirt tightly, so excited she almost shouted.

Hachiman coughed lightly, too shy to look directly at Goto Ichiri's face: "From now on, or rather, for the rest of my life, please guide me."

...

At the Hikigaya residence, Hachiman unlocked the door with his key.

In the living room, Komachi ran out with light steps, then looked around past Hachiman, and frowned in disappointment a few seconds later.

"Hey bro, why are you the only one here?"

"Neither Su Shi nor Xiang Zi have returned?"

Hachiman glanced inside and saw that both girls were inside, so he wondered what Komachi was so anxious about.

"I meant Ichiri-neechan!"

Komachi stood with her hands on her hips, looking at her older brother with annoyance: "Why didn't you bring her back?"

"She bought a ticket for tonight and has already gone back to Tokyo?" Hachiman calmly took off his shoes.

"Onii-chan, you're just letting him go back like that?"

Komachi's mouth dropped open, and after several seconds she covered her forehead and sighed repeatedly: "Well, it's that older brother after all, so what was the result?"

"Let's go inside first and talk about it then."

Hachiman squeezed past Komachi, barely managing to get to the living room, where he was immediately scrutinized by his two girlfriends.

"Hachiman, what about Ichiri?"

"She went back."

Xiangzi glanced at Su Shi in shock. Su Shi, who was probably also surprised by the misunderstanding, stared blankly ahead.

"Alright, in that case, let's have dinner together as a group of four tonight."

"Wait a minute, what happened to Hachiman?"

"Well, I guess it's a success." Hachiman rubbed his nose, walked into the kitchen alone, and gulped down a bottle of MAX coffee.

[The bitter wine stings my throat and my heart aches]

What are you babbling about...?

Hachiman, holding the coffee can, returned to the sofa. He had clearly realized his mistake and was ready to be tortured by the three men.

"Um, I'm sorry."

"When you get back, you'll have to explain this to Ichiri properly."

Xiangzi smiled and glossed over the topic that made people both laugh and cry.

"But don't worry, I've already prepared emergency measures for my careless older brother, ta-da!"

Komachi took out two admission tickets from her handbag, with the words "Disneyland" written on them in large letters.

"Wait a minute, Komachi, where did you get this ticket?"

"Oh, of course it's a reward for the training camp."

"Why haven't I received this before, Onii-chan? Didn't we go to the same junior high school?"

"Onii-chan, did you ever join a club in middle school?"

When asked this profound question, Hachiman's expression inevitably darkened.

Indeed, he was a complete loner during junior high school; he didn't even have a single friend, let alone a club.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question..." Komachi's lips twitched, and she forcefully shoved the admission ticket into Hachiman's hand: "Onii-chan, take this and invite Ichiri-neechan!"

---Cut line---

269 ​​has been restored, but the review process seems very strict...

Chapter 278-275 Hachiman: I'm doing my own pilgrimage to the holy land?

Will Goto Ichiri accept?

Before considering this question, Hachiman had to take into account the feelings of his other two girlfriends.

No matter what, love can never be perfectly divided into three equal parts, but the human body can.

Concerned for his own safety, the survival-oriented Hachiman decisively said, "Komachi, how about we try again another time..."

"Pfft, Komachi, stop teasing your brother."

Beside him, Xiangzi finally couldn't hide his smile. He took out the admission tickets he had prepared beforehand and waved them lightly in his hand: "Hachiman, look, we actually bought the tickets too, so don't worry."

"Ah, um, I see."

Damn it, this little girl tricked me again...

Hachiman, in a fit of anger, pulled out his phone and said casually, "Then I'll try to contact Goto now. If all goes well, we can go together tomorrow morning?"

"That's not right."

Hachiman deleted the message he had only typed halfway through and looked up in confusion: "The schedule has changed again?"

"Tomorrow morning, it will just be you and Ichiri-chan."

"?"

Xiangzi sighed: "Hachiman, have you forgotten? I made an appointment with Su Shi to go to the beauty salon next door tomorrow."

"Wait a minute, is that even possible?"

Hachiman immediately turned his gaze to Suze, who nodded expressionlessly: "It's just a simple haircut, don't be so nervous."

"You...how could you tell I was nervous?"

Hachiman glanced away, his eyes darting to the side. He was only going to Disneyland alone with Goto Ichiri, and he wasn't going to be scared by something like that (sounding loudly)!

With a sly smile, Su Shi took Xiangzi's arm and said, "Well, this time we should definitely have the barber cut Xiangzi's hair a little shorter."

"Wait, that won't do!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hachiman quickly changed his tune: "Um, I meant, the agency probably wouldn't accept a sudden change in appearance, considering my image in the fans' eyes..."

Perhaps shocked by his reaction, Xiangzi remained silent for a long time before hesitantly opening his mouth: "Well, just to be clear, I have no intention of cutting my hair short."

"Uh, but Su Shi said...?"

"That child is lying to you."

"What?!"

"So Hachiman likes girls with long hair so much. No wonder he was so interested in Yukinoshita back then."

Su Shi rested her chin on her hand, and a glint of light shone in her cat-like, slender pupils.

Oh no, my XP system is exposed!

No, when did he start caring about Yuki?

Just because she has long, straight black hair?

Isn't Shiina Tatsuki the same...?

Upon hearing these intriguing words, Xiangzi's previously shy expression suddenly turned serious: "Sushi, could you tell me more about Yukinoshita?"

"Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding!"

Hachiman reluctantly tries to mediate between the two girls, while Komachi eats senbei (rice crackers) and watches the amusing family comedy with great interest.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Um, Goto replied and said she's willing to come tomorrow."

Hachiman wearily showed his phone, which displayed his chat history with Goto Ichiri.

Su Shi carefully examined the items and nodded in satisfaction: "Then it's settled. Hachiman, take good care of Pochi-chan in the morning, and we'll come over in the afternoon."

"I'll do as you say."

He sank softly into the sofa, and it took all his strength just to explain that he wasn't a fan of long, straight black hair.

"However, Hachiman, although we've accepted Pochi-chan, that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. We need to take it one step at a time and slowly build up our relationship, understand?"

"Hey?"

On the sofa, Hachiman replied listlessly.

It's strange. When it came to Xiangzi's problem, Su Shi seemed more anxious than anyone else, but when it came to Goto Ichiri, she advised her to slow down.

The meaning behind it wasn't too hard to guess, but considering Goto Ichiri's personality, he wouldn't do anything too outrageous, so Hachiman didn't think too much about it.

The next day.

The weather seems to have quietly cooled down a bit.

Goto Ichiri touched the two buns in her hair, which she had asked her mother to tie when she left that morning. She wondered if they looked a little strange.
