Does gravity make me stronger?

"..."

Ruo Yemu didn't say anything, but simply passed by the two of them without any hesitation, as if he had never been there at all.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Aine excitedly said, "Tomorin, did you just hear that? Should we go find Hachiman?"

"this..."

Takamatsu Akari was conflicted because Hachiman had told her not to reveal her schedule to Aine.

However, she couldn't refuse directly. While she was thinking about how to persuade Aine, the other party had already taken her arm and led her upstairs.

"Here you are, here you are. Hachiman is really something, going to the cultural festival all by himself without even calling us."

"Aine-chan, shall we go buy some more things?"

"Then let's buy it together with Hachiman."

Upon arriving at Class 1-B, Aine saw the sign hanging at the entrance and exclaimed, "It's a maid café! Hachiman-kun came here alone, so that's what it means."

Hachiman, that repressed little pervert, I've finally caught you, haven't I?

Aine was secretly delighted, preparing to thoroughly torture Hachiman once inside.

With that thought in mind, she walked into the classroom.

Hachiman was sitting in the classroom, and there was someone else sitting opposite him.

"Soyorin, why are you here?"

"Aiyin?"

Nagasaki Motoyo paused for a second, clearly not expecting to encounter Akari and Aine at this moment.

However, she quickly composed herself and forcefully said in a high-pitched voice, "Aiyin, I just came back from the school history museum and was just about to look for you."

This is a lie!

Even if Aine is naive, she can see through this flawed excuse at a glance.

Why did you lie to me?!

After uttering a hurtful remark, Ai-yin ran headlong out the door.

Takamatsu hesitated for a moment, then rushed out after her, shouting, "Aine, wait for me!"

Sitting in her seat, Nagasaki Motoyo frowned. Because of the band connection, she didn't want to break ties with Aine for the time being.

Moreover, Deng is clearly not good at comforting people. If he leaves the two of them to fend for themselves outside, who knows what troubles he might cause them next.

"Hachiman, wait here for a moment, I'll go out and explain things to Aine."

"Me too..."

Hachiman put down his spoon and prepared to get up.

However, Su Shi forcefully pushed him back down.

"No need, just wait here. I'll be back once I've taken care of things."

Before leaving, Su Shi glanced at the bowl of omelet rice, then quickly picked up a spoon, scooped up the piece with ketchup on it, and put it in her mouth.

After chewing a few times, with a hint of anger, Nagasaki Motoyo swallowed the omelet rice before leaving the classroom.

Hachiman slumped in his seat, glancing at the door and then at the half-eaten omelet rice on the table. Why was he so tired when he was just eating?

...

After rushing out of Class 1-B, Aine wandered aimlessly through the corridors like a headless fly.

Finally, she reached the end of the corridor and crouched down in a corner, clutching her head.

She had considered that Hachiman's absence in the morning wasn't due to work, but rather because he was with another girl.

But her imagined enemy was always that girl named Toyokawa Shoko, and she never thought that the person who appeared next to Hachiman would be Suze, whom she had always trusted.

"If you don't want to go shopping with me, then don't. Why did you have to lie to me?"

"Soyorin too, telling such an easily detectable lie shows no sincerity whatsoever."

"I never want to play with you guys again!"

Thinking about it this way, Aine felt extremely wronged.

Hikigaya-kun, I hate you!

Soyorin too, how annoying!

While Aine was sulking, Takamatsu and Su Shi arrived one after the other.

"Ai-yin..."

"Can I take care of the lamp here?"

Gao Songdeng turned to look at Su Shi, wondering why the other party was still so calm at this moment.

However, considering that he had no experience in comforting others, Takamatsu Akira wisely gave up his seat.

Nagasaki Motoyo took a deep breath, her expression gradually hardening.

"Aine-chan?"

She called out tentatively, and as expected, she was met with a counterattack from Aine.

"Soyorin, don't come any closer!"

"..."

The anger level suddenly increased.

Why do I have to comfort her?

Nagasaki Motoyo thought to herself, her face darkening.

However, she quickly regained her usual gentle demeanor.

"Aine-chan, I'm here."

"I already told you not to come any closer!"

Ai Yin raised the volume slightly, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"Deng Deng."

Judging from the footsteps, Su Shi was not far away; on the contrary, she was getting closer and closer.

"soyorin!"

Just as she was about to look up, she was embraced tightly by a pair of warm hands, and her head was stuffed into the soft dough.

"What are you going to do with the mud..."

The moment she was hugged, Aine's temper had already subsided by more than half.

But she was a girl who cared a lot about her image, so she still held high the banner of resistance.

"Let go."

"I'm sorry, Aine-chan, I shouldn't have asked Hachiman out by myself."

"But please believe me, I didn't mean to lie to you. I really just came from the school history museum."

"Besides, Hachiman and I are going to find you soon. How about the four of us go to the cultural festival together later?"

This time, Nagasaki Motoyo did not lie; everything she said was true.

However, some psychological activities were appropriately omitted.

For example, saying "I'm going to find you right away" means that she will lend them a few more minutes after she and Hachiman have finished shopping.

For example, she did go to the school history museum, but she met up with Hachiman after a short visit.

"I..."

Aine wanted to say something more, but before she could speak, Nagasaki Motoyo hugged her even tighter.

Clearly, Aine's defiant spirit has waned once again.

Aine buried her face in Suze's chest and took a deep breath.

The scent of soyorin is so comforting.

"Soyorin, is everything you just said true?"

"Absolutely true."

"Then... I forgive you."

Hmph, easy to handle.

This scene is called "Three Sentences to Make the Willful Little Princess Change Her Mind".

With a slight smile, Nagasaki Motoyo found the perfect moment and slowly released her embrace.

Ai-yin, her voice still carrying the scent of baby milk, seemed a little tipsy, and her previous assertive tone was gone: "Soyorin, I'll reluctantly forgive you this time, but you can't sneak off again!"

"I'm sorry, Aine-chan, I won't do it again."

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled slightly, but in reality, she was completely unconcerned.

"Ai-yin..."

Takamatsu Akari walked up, admiring Suze's ability to comfort others, and said, "Let's go back, don't let Hachiman worry."

"it is good."

...

In Class 1-B, Hachiman was restless, glancing out the door every now and then, hoping the three of them would return soon.

[Eight-year-olds living alone, yearning for care]

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement outside the door, Hachiman simply turned his attention back to the table.

The bowl of omelet rice, with a spoonful scooped out, lay quietly in the center of the table, steam rising from the missing corner.

Omelette rice is a dish that should be eaten while it's hot to fully appreciate its unique flavor.

Once it cools down, it becomes tasteless and difficult to swallow.

Hachiman idly fiddled with the spoon, worried that something might have happened to the three girls.

From the direction of the kitchen, Shoko, who had been secretly observing, walked over with a puzzled look on her face after seeing Nagasaki Motoyo leave.

Where is she?

Seeing Xiangzi approaching, the shocking scene from earlier flooded back into his mind. Hachiman avoided his gaze and said, "I have to go out for a bit."

Xiangzi glanced at the omelet rice he had only taken a bite of, and then, thinking of Nagasaki Motoyo's deliberate humiliation of him, he suddenly clenched his fists.

Let's go all the way!

Damn it, I blew up with Nagasaki Motoyo!

Having made an important decision, Xiangzi said nervously, "Omelette rice won't taste good when it's cold."

"Ah, um."

Seeing that Hachiman showed no intention of touching his chopsticks, Shoko took a step closer, bit her lip, smoothed her skirt, and squatted down.

"Actually, we offer other services in our store as well."

"what?"

"Cough cough."

Xiangzi coughed lightly, his face slightly flushed. He glanced around to make sure everyone was doing their own thing before he felt comfortable joining in.

Hachiman first heard the girl's warm breath, and then he heard...

"Master, welcome back~"

After saying that, Xiangzi's facial expression control completely failed, and he covered his burning face with his hands and lowered his head.

Ah, how embarrassing!

Why would I say something like that!
