Does gravity make me stronger?

"It's so frustrating. Should I go to the University of Tokyo or go abroad? My mom doesn't want me to be too far from home, but my dad says boys should go out and explore."

The native inhabitants of the starry sky had never seen such a scene before. Not to mention Tokyo University, there were very few people who even wanted to go to university, and they couldn't even scrape together a few high school diplomas.

Therefore, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and cried.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry! I shouldn't be alive if I want to drop out of high school!"

As Goto Ichiri listened to the conversation, he lay on his back, wishing he could smash his head through the floor. The next second, he clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Boqi Jiang died at the age of 15.

"Poch-chan, wake up!"

Thanks to Nijika's timely rescue, Goto Ichiri finally regained consciousness.

“Hongxia, I feel like I dreamt that a lot of Shuchiin students were around me. They all said they wanted to go to Tokyo University. It’s so scary.”

"Is it possible that it wasn't a dream...?"

"What?!" Goto Ichiri's eyes widened, and then he fainted again.

Ah, I'm dead!

"Poke-chan (loudly)!!!"

At the entrance of the performance hall, Ichiji Hoshika, who had just returned from shopping, stared in astonishment at the large group of customers, and the plastic bag in her hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Am I dreaming?

"Sister, don't faint! I'm already overwhelmed with just one Pochi-chan!" Nijika shouted as she continued to give Goto Ichiri "first aid."

"Hey, my lovely Yimoduo, can you explain what's going on here?"

"It seems to have been recommended by one of Deng Jiang's biggest fans."

"Big pink head?"

Ijichi Hoshika rubbed her eyes, and after confirming that what she was seeing was not her imagination, she quickly ran backstage to direct the staff to set up the lighting.

"Hongxia, come quick and help!"

"coming."

After carefully placing the half-dead Goto Ichiri on the chair, Nijika got busy.

After a while, once she confirmed that there were no problems with the performance equipment, Ichiji Seika breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hongxia, I suggest you consider merging with Aine’s band.”

"Sister, you're so annoying! I'm ignoring you!"

Hongxia grunted and ran out of the lighting room without looking back. But when she saw a large number of guests waiting for the show to start outside, it would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted.

She wants fans too!

"Hachiman, think of something quick!"

...

With Ai Hayasaka by her side, Kaguya Shinomiya also arrived at the stars.

Before she even stepped inside, she squinted her eyes in confusion.

"Why would a concert hall be located in a basement? Wouldn't it be very damp?"

"Kaguya-sama, please think of LiveHouse as a cheap underground performance facility, and don't associate it with concert halls where symphonies are performed."

"Is that so?"

Kaguya Shinomiya tentatively accepted Ai Hayasaka's explanation and pushed open the door, only to be greeted by a sea of ​​people.

"Quack, 9 is Shinomiya-san! Even after school, 4 is still so elegant!"∥〔－∵

"Thank you for treating, Shinomiya-kun!"

"I thought Shinomiya was a cold and aloof goddess who didn't care about worldly affairs, but I didn't expect her to come to see an underground band. Now she seems more approachable."

Kaguya Shinomiya maintained her aloof expression as she descended the stairs, the surrounding crowd automatically parting in two to make way for her.

"Hayasaka, where are the private boxes in the performance hall?"

"I'm sorry, Kaguya-sama, LiveHouse doesn't have private rooms."

"what?"

Seeing Kaguya Shinomiya's surprised look, Ai Hayasaka continued to explain, "Miss, there is only a regular audience area here, and everyone has to stand."

"This is really interesting..."

Despite some inner turmoil, Kaguya Shinomiya quickly regained her composure.

"Let's go to the area behind here."

"Yes, Miss."

On the way, Kaguya Shinomiya asked, "Hayasaka, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but you seem really excited today?"

"Is there?"

Although Hayasaka Ai remained expressionless, she tensed up slightly inside.

Yes, whether it was the dim lighting or the restless audience nearby, this unconventional atmosphere constantly stimulated Hayasaka Ai's nerves.

Subarashi!

This is a million times better than having to lower your voice to speak in the Golden Hall!

Hayasaka Ai felt that her true nature would be released here.

Seeing that her little maid was unwilling to tell the truth, Kaguya Shinomiya did not press the matter further, and murmured, "But how can we quietly enjoy the music if that's the case?"

"Miss, this is exactly the kind of atmosphere a LiveHouse should have."

"is it?"

Kaguya Shinomiya remained noncommittal.

After waiting for a while, Hachiman, having received the text message, came out of the staff room and walked towards them.

Since Starry Sky does not mandate that its employees wear uniforms, Hachiman continues to wear the uniform from Haneoka Academy.

"As agreed, I brought 10 yen worth of viewers."

The moment Kaguya Shinomiya saw Hachiman, she spoke coldly.

"Thank you, I didn't expect you to have brought so many people."

To be honest, Hachiman never expected that Kaguya Shinomiya could bring in so many customers at once. He originally thought that fifteen or sixteen would be the most, but a whole bunch of them came.

That's great, the stars are almost full.

"Is there anything you're unhappy about?" Kaguya Shinomiya raised an eyebrow.

"No."

"When is the band you mentioned performing?"

"It was originally scheduled to be the opening act, but due to certain reasons, it was moved to the last act."

"Hmph, whatever."

Kaguya Shinomiya snorted coldly. She had already expected that the performance order might be adjusted; it was just a common marketing tactic.

Anyway, she just wanted to experience the atmosphere of a livehouse and wasn't looking to hear any particularly beautiful music.

"Then I'll head back now, you can listen to this later."

Chapter 130, 128 Shiina Tatsuki: Huh?

After saying that, Hachiman hurriedly returned to the backstage area. As soon as he appeared, Takamatsu Akari rushed over to greet him.

"Su Shi still hasn't come..."

“She will come,” Hachiman said confidently.

"Really?"

"Believe me."

"Ah."

With just two simple sentences, Takamatsu Akari's unease eased considerably. She composed herself and looked at Hachiman with clear eyes.

"I saw that Xiangzi had come too."

"I invited her here. The Crychic issue couldn't be resolved without her presence."

"And what about Mu?"

"..."

Oh no, how could I have forgotten about this little girl?

I just ran into her...

【睦: lonely, widowed, lonely, lonely】

Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it.

Hachiman shook his head, while Takamatsu Akari took out her phone with concern, seemingly inviting Wakaba Mutsu to come to the Starry Sky.

Without stopping Takamatsu Akari's actions, Hachiman turned to the side and observed the audience's every move through the gap in the curtain.

The view here is excellent, not to mention the digital gravity readings, so he can recognize Nagasaki Motoyo even if she's wearing an Ultraman mask.

There are six bands in the morning session, and each band is given about twenty minutes, so when it's Gao Songdeng's turn to perform, they should have nearly two hours.

As long as Nagasaki Motoyo can get there within this timeframe, it's very simple.

"Is the first band ready? It's almost time."

Kita held up a sign to announce the order of entry.

The first band to take the stage, however, seemed uninterested and did not show much enthusiasm.

"After all, it's Tuesday, so there probably won't be many spectators."

"Yeah, I can't muster any energy, meow."

Meow my foot!

Hey, are all of you autistic? Can't you see all these people outside?

Hachiman thought to himself, somewhat annoyed.

He spent a lot of money to bring these guests here, and you people are just freeloading off his popularity without even saying thank you?

[You're hiring online trolls to buy followers, right?]

Hey, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense! This is perfectly legitimate business practice!

Half a minute later, the band stepped out from behind the curtain and were instantly stunned by the sight before them.

Why are there so many people?

Since the band was formed, they have hardly been valued by the audience and can only be considered the lowest level among the countless underground bands in Shimokitazawa.

And it was surprising to see so many listeners on such an ordinary workday.

"I'm so touched..."

Before the band's lead singer could even open his mouth, he burst into tears on stage.

Ijichi Seika quickly gestured at the workbench opposite, and with the comfort of the other musicians, the lead singer gradually calmed down.

"Buzz!"

With the roar of an electric guitar, the performance officially began. At the same time, Hachiman put down his work and followed the dim light along the wall to the waiting room.

Aine, Takamatsu Akari, Kaname Rakuna, and Shiina Tatsuki are all resting in this room.

After entering, Hachiman looked around first, and then, amidst the curious gazes of everyone, walked straight to Shiina Tatsuki.

The black-haired girl, who was inspecting the drumsticks, looked up suspiciously and treated Hachiman with great indifference.

"Is there a problem?"

"Can you come out with me for a bit?"
