Does gravity make me stronger?

Hachiman awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"Really? That's a pity. Oh right, are you here to see Ichiri-chan's performance too?"

"Ah."

"Let's do it together! Today we're going to record all of Ichiri-chan's scenes!"

"Good."

The Goto family was very hospitable, which made Goto Ichiri, who suffered from severe social anxiety, seem out of place. However, with Yukinoshita's help, Goto Ichiri's condition gradually improved.

Thinking this, the adorable little girl found Hachiman once again.

"Hachiman Onii-chan, Hachiman Onii-chan~"

"What's wrong, Erli-chan?"

Hachiman bent down, making no attempt to hide his affection for Goto Jiri.

however.

The originally innocent and naive Goto Jiri asked a question that was difficult for him to answer.

"When will Hachiman Onii-chan finally marry my sister?"

"Marry...marry her?"

"Wait a mininute!"

Avoiding Hachiman's shocked gaze, Goto's mother quickly covered Niri's mouth: "Um, Niri-chan is engrossed in playing house, so she says some nonsense. Hachiman, don't mind her."

Hachiman nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"It's alright, children say the darndest things."

Even with her mouth covered, Goto Jiri couldn't stop her: "Onii-chan!"

"Yes, this is Hachiman Onii-chan."

Hachiman tried to force a smile to make himself look more amiable.

however.

"Onii-chan, your smile is so weird, hahaha."

"..."

"Nari-chan, you can't say that about Hachiman-nii!"

Goto's mother frowned, looking somewhat angry.

Then, Toujiri immediately became obedient.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Niri nodded perfunctorily, then lost interest in Hachiman and began to amuse herself in the surrounding area.

As for Hachiman?

Hachiman was heartbroken.

Frustrated, he could only focus on the viewfinder, trying to shoot a good video.

Halfway through setting up the camera, he suddenly realized he had left something in his bag. So he asked Goto's father to watch the camera while he headed back.

On the way, he encountered two more guys he didn't want to see.

"Hey, kid, you really are here!"

Kikuri Hiroi was wearing a loose dress with a baseball jacket over it, and she looked like she was hungover.

That damn drunkard...

Not wanting to have any conversation with this hungover guy, Hachiman simply pretended not to see him and hurried past with his head down.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Hiroi Kikuri's playful expression froze instantly, and then she bared her fangs and complained loudly.

"Why are you pretending not to know me, you despicable heartless man!"

"..."

Seeing that Hachiman didn't react for a long time, Hiroi Kikuri stomped her foot and followed after him, not wanting to be outdone.

However, in her drunken state, she had only taken half a step when the girl's body collapsed forward like cotton.

"ah!"

Although Hachiman doesn't like alcoholics, he can't just stand by and watch Hiroi Kikuri get hurt.

only.

Before he could help, someone had already pulled her back from behind.

"Hey, I told you not to drink!"

Ichika Hoshika pouted: "If you drink again, I'll throw you outside."

"I'm sorry, senior, you're still the best to me, hiccup~"

A loud burp reeking of alcohol caused the surrounding audience to instinctively cover their noses and back away.

"Why did a pub get into here? Where's security? Can you take her away?"

"I'm sorry, this guy has caused you trouble."

The yellow triangular ahoge (cowlick) bowed repeatedly, just like its owner. It took a lot of persuasion from Ijichi Hoshika to stop others from calling security.

After cleaning up the mess left by Hiroi Kikuri, Iji Tomoka turned to Hachiman and asked.

"Hachiman, why aren't you sitting still? What are you doing scurrying around like a mouse at a time like this?"

Faced with the boss who was paying his salary, Hachiman had no choice but to answer honestly, no matter how unwilling he was.

"I'm just going to get something."

"Okay, then you can go."

"Hey, shall we have Hachiman keep us company?"

"I'll keep you company my foot!"

Ijichi Hoshika flicked Hiroi Kikuri's forehead, and the latter clutched her head in pain, letting out a beautiful groan.

"It hurts so much, senior!"

"I told you to drink... What are you looking at? Get up and go!"

Under the intimidating gaze of Ijichi Seika, Hachiman once again disappeared into the crowd.

...

Audience area.

back row.

"How boring."

Nagasaki Motoyo had never been interested in the cultural festival performances; she only came because she wanted to see Hachiman.

Now that Hachiman has left and the performance hasn't even started yet, she can only pass the time with her smartphone.

Furthermore, Aine said she wanted to persuade Hachiman to stay in Tokyo, but she didn't offer any concrete measures; it was all just empty talk.

As for Takamatsu Akari, given her attitude, she will not give up contact with Hachiman, regardless of whether he stays or leaves.

Well, Akari's feelings have always been so heavy. Hopefully, she'll improve her attitude towards Hachiman after getting married.

Nagasaki Motoyo tapped her fingers lightly on the screen, browsing the admission rules of several top universities in Tokyo.

With my current grades, I should have no problem getting into a top university, but getting into the University of Tokyo or something like that will be difficult.

Strictly speaking, Motoyo Nagasaki was not a top student in the traditional sense.

Her academic ability was average. She just attended classes and studied like any other student, and took exams in a routine manner. She never thought about changing her future through studying.

As for her future plans, she had briefly considered them before meeting Hachiman—

If everything goes smoothly, I'll go to a regular university, complete four years of study, and then start working; if something unexpected happens, I'll go straight into the workforce after graduating from high school.

Now that she has met Hachiman, her plans have changed slightly.

But when it comes to work, she's not picky at all; the decision-making power rests with her future husband.

To be precise, she herself has no plans to go out to work; in fact, she prefers to take care of her family.

but.

Hachiman will probably go to university. If she can get into the same university, the two of them will probably have more time together.

With that in mind, Nagasaki Motoyo's immediate goal is to continue her studies.

So, where is Xiangzi?

Xiangzi is no longer the eldest daughter of the Fengchuan family; according to her wishes, her career is her top priority now.

However, pursuing further education would interfere with the band's work, and the two cannot be done at the same time. So, it seems unlikely that Xiangzi will pursue further education.

Since that's the case, I need to work even harder so that I can get into the same university as Hachiman.

Otherwise, sending Hachiman to university alone would be problematic, firstly because he might be too lonely, and secondly because the vixens at university might try to take advantage of him.

"Looks like I'll have to study harder from now on."

After making up her mind, Nagasaki Motoyo felt a sense of relief.

Chapter 234, Section 231: Goto Ichiri's Confession

Nagasaki Motoyo's thoughts drifted away, and before she knew it, she had left the noisy sounds inside the stadium behind.

Wu pursed her lips slightly, her light blue eyes staring straight ahead, completely unaware even as people brushed past her.

Liu didn't open her eyes wide as if waking from a dream until the voice imprinted in her soul rang in her ears.

"Su Shi, have you seen my bag?"

For some reason, Hachiman turned back, but without his camera in his hand.

"Ah, the bag? It's here!"

Suppressing her excitement at seeing Hachiman again, she handed over the backpack with both hands.

Thank you.

While Hachiman was searching for something in his bag, Nagasaki Motoyo tentatively asked.

"Hachiman, are you... going on to higher education?"

"Going to higher education?"

Hachiman paused, probably not expecting Nagasaki Motoyo to ask such a question, and thought for a moment before answering.

"Probably, but we haven't decided which school yet. We'll have to see how my grades are."

When it comes to grades, Hachiman feels a little anxious.

With only ten-odd days left to study before the final exams, Kaguya Shinomiya has made progress in his studies, but whether he can win first place is still unknown.

Based on past performance records, he could only be considered a top-ten goalkeeper at best.

The further you go, the harder it becomes to improve your score.

Once you're in the exam hall, you might only be able to rely on a series of unlucky flashes to try your luck.

Seeing Hachiman's furrowed brows and somewhat dejected expression, Nagasaki Motoyo quickly explained, "It's okay if you feel too much pressure going to university. I'll work hard to earn money."

"..."

Su Shi seems to have misunderstood. When did he ever say he didn't want to go to school?

Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly noticed that Yukinoshita, who was sitting next to Su Shi, suddenly stood up, lowered her eyes, and quickly walked out of the gymnasium.

The rotting, dead fish eyes followed the girl's every move until she disappeared outside the door.
