Does gravity make me stronger?

Meanwhile, waiter Xiao Xiang suppressed his dissatisfaction, forced a professional smile, and nodded: "Yes, you can tell me what the customer wants to write."

"Hey, let's forget about that kind of thing."

Hachiman realized what Nagasaki Motoyo was planning to do and immediately prepared to stop her.

"Sigh, the recipe says it's okay." Nagasaki Motoyo casually brushed it off, then looked at Shoko directly and said, "Shoko-chan, could you write my and Hachiman's names on it, and then draw a big heart?"

Chapter 161, Chapter 158: Su Shi: Xiangzi, you're so cunning!

Nagasaki Motoyo's triumphant and arrogant demeanor greatly displeased Shoko.

Shrimp, and also pig's heart?

Xiangzi was immediately displeased, but now that she was a maid in the shop, she couldn't be obedient to the customers, at least she couldn't lose her temper in front of them.

I endured it...

Ah yes, that's the expression, just looking at me like that.

Seeing Xiangzi's unwilling expression, Nagasaki Motoyo was satisfied.

Xiangzi gritted his teeth: "Su Shi, please don't do anything too childish, it will bother the other guests."

Is it childish?

If it weren't for me, you'd probably love to write your name on it, wouldn't you?

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled coldly, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Ah, I'm sorry, then I'll change it. Can you write 'I LOVE YOU'? It should be quite common in the store, right?"

No matter which store it is, if they offer the service of writing on omelet rice, they should not refuse customers' requests casually.

What happened earlier was one thing, but Su Shi's current request is clearly an attempt to appease her.

At least that's how it appears on the surface.

If Xiangzi refused again, he would seem petty.

Moreover, Xiangzi is a very proper person and would never throw a tantrum again and again.

It was precisely by exploiting the other party's character flaws that Su Shi was able to relentlessly press forward.

Shoko, you'll just stand here and witness me having breakfast with Hachiman.

Having you write the words gives you a sense of participation.

Nagasaki Motoyo was looking forward to seeing Shoko reluctantly write "I LOVE YOU" on the omelet rice, but had no choice but to comply with her request.

For her, it was simply the best appetizer.

"Indeed, it's quite ordinary..."

Xiangzi murmured with a slightly troubled expression, then, with a complicated expression, took out some tomato sauce for writing from the kitchen.

"How awful..."

Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, a blush spread across Xiangzi's delicate face, and tears even welled up in her eyes as she was overcome with emotion.

Hachiman, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but say, "Well, maybe we should just forget about it."

"No, I have to keep my promises. That's my principle."

If she wanted, she could easily ask her classmate to write the words for her.

But doing so would mean that Xiangzi had bowed down and admitted defeat to Su Shi.

That was the only thing she couldn't accept.

A true man can bend and stretch. Nagasaki Motoyo has gained the upper hand this time, but that doesn't mean things will be so smooth in the future.

In good times, one should remain calm and composed; in adversity, one should be even more patient and focused.

As he tried to comfort himself, Xiangzi's right hand, holding the ketchup, still trembled slightly.

Under the starkly contrasting gazes of the two men, she took a deep breath and then stiffly bent over.

With a slight pressure of the finger, the red tomato sauce slid smoothly out of the bottle and dripped onto the golden egg skin.

She held her breath and focused intently on writing each stroke carefully.

LOVE

When she wrote the first letter of "YOU", Nagasaki Motoyo's smile froze, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why is this scene a little different from what she imagined?

It should have been Xiangzi writing a humiliating surrender letter in grief and indignation, welcoming himself onto the altar, but the result was as if Xiangzi shyly wrote words of love in front of Hachiman.

Something's not right. Something's nine out of ten things is wrong.

This wasn't just Nagasaki Motoyo's misconception; even Hachiman thought so.

A beautiful girl dressed as a maid, blushing shyly, reluctantly writes "I LOVE YOU" in front of you.

Just thinking about it gets me excited, okay?

Damn it, System, you don't use any punctuation when you speak?

【mine】

At the same time, Xiangzi seemed to realize what was happening.

What I'm doing now looks like I'm confessing my feelings to Hachiman Hikigaya, doesn't it?

Xiangzi stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and his beautiful amber eyes conveyed some hints to Hachiman sitting in the seat.

Hachiman understood immediately, then silently turned his head away.

"—!"

Xiangzi's fingers froze instantly, his initial shame and indignation transforming into unspeakable embarrassment, his entire face turning red to the roots of his ears.

Nagasaki Motoyo stared blankly at the scene, unsure whether she should stop it or not.

If Xiangzi stops, all my efforts will have been in vain.

But if she didn't stop him, wouldn't that be playing into Xiangzi's hands, making her the biggest loser?

I feel like I've become part of their game...

Moreover, it was her own request.

Xiangzi, can you please stop being so scheming?

"That's about enough."

Some of Nagasaki Motoyo, who couldn't stand it any longer, spoke up, and Shoko took the opportunity to take back the ketchup.

She shyly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, carefully tucking it onto her fair earlobe. Looking down at the straightforward words on the omelet rice, she could no longer suppress her embarrassment.

"Then I'll go back to work now."

Xiangzi bowed and quickly fled back to the kitchen.

Hachiman's gaze followed Shoko's departing figure.

Nagasaki Motoyo immediately clicked her tongue.

"Hachiman?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, let's eat."

"Hachiman, give me this bowl of omelet rice."

"Why? Didn't you say you weren't hungry?"

Because it's not clean anymore.

Nagasaki Motoyo's face turned cold: "But I'm hungry again now, let me order you another one."

"Row."

Just as Su Shi was about to order another omelet rice, two figures appeared outside the door.

...

For some reason, Gao Songdeng felt that his heartbeat was erratic, and a bad feeling kept lingering in his mind.

The more people around you, and the more lively it is, the stronger this feeling becomes.

Gao Songdeng knew that she was not a sociable girl.

So, in order not to disturb other people's enjoyment of the cultural festival, she obediently stayed in a corner.

She only agreed to go outside for a walk after Ai Yin came to find her behind the teaching building.

The two held hands very intimately as they moved back and forth between different classrooms.

Aine is a big eater. When she goes to the cultural festival, she spends most of her time buying food. Whether it's takoyaki or yakisoba, she buys it all without hesitation.

Those who couldn't finish their food shared it with Gao Songdeng.

Unlike Aine, Takamatsu Akari has a small appetite and eats in small bites, taking half a day to finish even one bite of Aine's food.

After walking around, both of them were quite full.

In the corridor, a cotton candy machine that had somehow appeared was humming and whirring, and Aine's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

"Tomorin, would you like some marshmallows?"

"Aine-chan, I can't eat anymore."

"Have some more, this is so delicious."

After saying that, Aine spent several hundred yen to buy a skewer of cotton candy and offered it to Takamatsu Akari's lips: "Ah~"

I'm so full, I really can't eat anymore, but I can't let Aine be sad...

With that thought in mind, Takamatsu Akari silently opened her mouth and said, "Ah~"

The marshmallows melted in my mouth and were very sweet, but for Takamatsu, who was already full, this delicious treat was simply too much to enjoy.

"Is it tasty?"

"good to eat."

Aiyin beamed with joy, the satisfaction of feeding the little penguins instantly filling her heart.

The two continued eating as they walked, and as they turned a corner, they bumped into a girl.

"ah!"

Fortunately, Aine only stumbled and was not injured, so she quickly regained her balance and apologized profusely.

"sorry!"

"It's ok."

The girl opposite her was wearing the same white school uniform as Nagasaki Motoyo. Aine shifted her gaze and carefully examined the other girl.

The girl had very regular features and snow-white skin. Her doll-like face made people want to pinch her cheeks. If there was any flaw, it was that her cold eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

Seeing that the other person was alone, Aine couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't Soyorin say that the people from Moon Forest were going to visit the school history museum together?"

This morning, Aine invited Nagasaki Motoyo to go to the cultural festival together, but she declined, citing it as a group activity.

Seeing that the students of Tsuki no Mori could act independently, Aine felt a vague sense of unease.

Soyorin, are you hiding something from us?

On the other side, the girl was also observing Aine.

But the next moment, she turned her gaze to Takamatsu Tama.

"lamp."

"Mu-chan."

Aine: "Hey, you two know each other?"

Gao Songdeng nodded and said weakly, "He was a bandmate from the previous band."

Wakaba Mutsu glanced coldly at Aine and said calmly, "Tokyo, do you know Hachiman Hikigaya?"

"Hachiman...?"

Upon hearing this, a complex expression flashed across Ruo Yemu's face. After a long pause, she suddenly said, "He's upstairs right now, in Class B of the first year."

Why are you telling me this?
