Does gravity make me stronger?

"Ugh, Yukinoshita is too serious!" Nijika complained, but no matter what she said, she couldn't persuade the stubborn Yukinoshita.

Left with no other choice, Hongxia went into the practice room by herself and soon brought out three girls.

Wait a minute, to be precise, it's two and a half.

Goto Ichiri wore a mango box that was a meter tall, and through two dark holes, one could see her incredibly shocked eyes.

"Yukinoshita-san, you really came!"

"Mango Box!?"

"puff!"

Hachiman couldn't help but laugh, and Yukino Yukinoshita immediately gave him a disdainful look, then rubbed her temples and sighed repeatedly: "Excuse me, Ms. Goto, you haven't forgotten the request to correct your personality, have you?"

"Of course!"

Under Yukino's icy, penetrating gaze, Goto Ichiri instinctively straightened up.

"Then please explain to me what this box is all about. Do you need to wear this on stage?"

"Um..."

Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't stupid, and immediately asked Yamada Ryo and Kita for confirmation. The two of them promptly betrayed their teammate and shook their heads.

"So, should lying be added to the list of personality traits that need correction?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the other person with a troubled expression. "Ms. Goto, please don't make this already difficult request even more complicated."

"Waaaaah..."

You can hear Goto Ichiri crying because she's hurt, coming from the mango box.

With Hongxia's help, she took off the mango box cover that she had spent so much time making and fiddled with her fingers in a pitiful manner.

Goto Ichiri has changed her hairstyle back to her old long straight hair. Her bangs, however, couldn't be grown out immediately due to objective reasons, but they didn't look well-groomed and were sticking up in all directions.

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't stand it anymore, radiating a chilling aura, but she still continued, "Goto, at least tidy your hair a little. Going on stage like this is an insult to the audience."

"I'm sorry!" Goto Ichiri quickly went to the mirror to fix her hair.

The gentle Nijika helped tidy up Goto Ichiri's messy hair, while Kita came to Hachiman's side and softly said, "Hikigaya-kun, Hikigaya-kun."

"what happened?"

"Um, did you know Yukinoshita-san before?"

Oh, you're talking about Yukinoshita.

"I don't know him." Hachiman denied it decisively. "We met once before, but we didn't talk much."

"Oh..."

Seeing Kita's somewhat uncomfortable expression, Hachiman couldn't help but ask, "Don't you get along with her?"

"Not really, it's just that I don't know how to build a good relationship with Yukinoshita-san."

Is it really that difficult for a school idol like Kita to build a good relationship with Yukino Yukinoshita?

Tsk tsk...

This is the first time I've ever met such a troublesome woman.

"There's nothing wrong with being with a woman like that..."

Hachiman was halfway through his sentence when he received a subtle look from Yukino Yukinoshita. He immediately changed his mind and said, "Well, let's just treat them as work colleagues."

"If possible, I would like to try my best to get along with Yukinoshita-san."

"Then come on."

At this point, Hachiman realized that the four members of the band had all changed into their team uniforms at some point.

Including Yukino Yukinoshita and himself, there were now six people wearing the End Band uniforms at the scene.

but.

There are only these six people.

"I'm more concerned about the audience than building a good relationship with Yukinoshita."

Hachiman got up, walked to the door and glanced out. The torrential rain showed no signs of abating; in fact, it seemed to be intensifying.

Swish!

Rainwater accumulated under the eaves and poured down, forming a small pool. Nourished by other rainwater, the pool quickly expanded.

"This is bad..."

Back in the performance hall, the people inside seemed completely unaware of the urgency of the situation.

Yukino Yukinoshita was still correcting Ichiri Goto's posture, while the others helplessly stood around as spectators. Only Ryo Yamada would occasionally chime in, but he was quickly scared away by Yukino Yukinoshita's cold gaze.

"Ugh, Yukinoshita-san's eyes are as terrifying as the Mangekyou Sharingan." Yamada Ryo trembled.

"Ryo-senpai, what is the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Kita tilted his head.

Yamada Ryo smiled slightly, stretched out her fair little hand, and grabbed at Kita's right eye: "Silly little brother..."

With a sharp "smack," Hongxia gave her a light tap on the forehead, and Yamada Ryo immediately withdrew her hand: "Hongxia, you're so upset..."

"Stop messing around, it's getting cold. Come to think of it, don't you guys think there are very few people here today?"

Hongxia looked around. Although it was a weekday, the number of customers today was shockingly low.

Normally at this time, there would be at least three or four audience members present, and by the end, there should be more than ten people to listen to the performance.

"It seems that several bands couldn't make it because of the heavy rain, and their fans probably won't be able to come either."

At this moment, Ijichi Seika, who had been absent until now, slowly walked out of the rehearsal room.

Then, she took a deep look at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was instructing Goto Ichiri on how to walk and stand.

"Is that the child Xiaojing introduced for consultation? She's so pretty..."

Ijichi Hoshika, completely disregarding her image, reached into her T-shirt and scratched herself.

Upon hearing someone mention her name, Yukino Yukinoshita turned around and greeted them politely, "Hello, are you Manager Ijichi?"

"Oh, Hello."

Is she a rich young lady from somewhere?

Unable to bear the formalities, Ichiji Hoshika simply said a few words and prepared to return to the rehearsal room.

"Squeak!"

The doors to the performance hall were opened once again.

The seven people present all turned their gazes to a girl in a green dress who walked down the stairs with a baseball jersey casually draped over her shoulder.

"Little Lonely One, I've come to find you!"

"big sister!"

Goto Ichiri stood there, stunned.

Two young girls came down with her: "It's Ichiri-chan!"

"Oh, you guys are here too!"

Goto Ichiri's heart, which was on the verge of withering, was instantly nourished after the arrival of several friends.

Yukino Yukinoshita rested her chin on her hand and asked Ichiri Goto, "Ms. Goto, are these all your own acquaintances?"

"Ah, um."

I don’t know if she can be considered a partner, but the thought of being praised by a beautiful girl like Yukino Yukinoshita makes Ichiri Goto feel lightheaded.

Although I had seen videos of Yukino Yukinoshita on my phone, it was only after meeting her in person that I realized there are such cute girls in the world.

"Ah, Pochi-chan is lost in her own world again," Hongxia immediately complained.

"Ms. Goto..."

Her cool words easily pulled Goto Ichiri back from her fantasy world.

"Hi!"

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed in distress: "While it's commendable that you completed the sales quota task well, could you please look at the other person properly when you're talking to them?"

"sorry!"

After the first group of customers came in, several more customers arrived one after another.

However, in terms of total numbers, the number is still pitifully small.

Some say that an enthusiastic audience can inspire the best live performances, and similarly, when there are very few audience members, it is difficult for musicians to perform at their best.

The scene was deserted, but outside a fierce storm raged, and Hachiman had a bad feeling.

There are ten minutes left before the show starts.

The number of people has not increased.

Most worryingly, the weather forecast indicates that the rain will intensify in the future.

The backstage area of ​​the Starry Night was filled with an unsettling atmosphere.

Because of his job, Hachiman wanders around the audience area, serving drinks to customers, but he has almost nothing to do now.

"Is this performance hall always like this?"

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed the atmosphere at the scene, and carrying a glass of ice water, she walked over and asked.

"There are fewer people on weekdays, and things are better on weekends, but..."

"But it's not that little, is it?"

"Congratulations, you've even learned how to answer first."

Hachiman made a joking remark, which immediately earned him a sidelong glance from Yukino Yukinoshita.

I don't know what this guy ate to grow up like this; his gaze alone can freeze you to death.

"Well, that has nothing to do with you as a consumer, right?" Hachiman replied lazily.

"No, I came here this time to see if I can better fulfill Todo's request."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a sip of ice water and immediately frowned.

Despite her icy demeanor and cold gaze, Yukinoshita surprisingly dislikes anything icy.

"We have room temperature water, would you like some?"

"It's troublesome."

Hachiman deftly poured a glass of room-temperature mineral water into a cup and handed it to Yukino Yukinoshita.

The latter was carefully observing the situation in the cup, as if checking whether the water had been poisoned.

"Give it back if you're not going to drink it."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a sip with a mischievous grin and commented, "The taste is just so-so."

"Do you want to start a fight? This is just a glass of ordinary mineral water."

Hachiman made a sarcastic remark, then got back to the main topic: "So how's the request going? Can Goto's personality be successfully corrected?"

"OK."

"So certain?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked confidently straight ahead, "Of course, but..."

"But what?"

"You mentioned before that this is Goto's first performance, right? For most people, the first time is often associated with the most important thing, but judging from the current situation..."

A hint of sorrow appeared on Yuki's otherwise perfect face.

"You mean there aren't enough people? Well, there's nothing we can do about it; the weather is just too bad today."

Seeing that Hachiman seemed indifferent, Yukino Yukinoshita emphasized her words.

"Aren't you an employee of the store? Aren't you going to think of a solution?"
