Does gravity make me stronger?

Hachiman stammered, "Um, regarding the question from earlier, could you tell me your reply?"

"Of course I'm willing! How could I not be? I'd do anything for you, even die for you!"

There's no need for death...

He wanted to say that, but Hachiman knew that saying it would be an insult to the girl's resolve.

Since Su Shi is a girl, it shouldn't matter if he is a girl too, right?

After a moment's thought, Hachiman replied earnestly, "Then let's die together from now on."

Chapter 224, Section 221: System: Go become a gigolo!

After an unknown amount of time, Hachiman, carrying a sweet fragrance, slowly walked out of the bedroom and came to Xiangzi's side.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a faint murmur in my ear.

"Stealing my idea?"

"what?"

Is he complaining?

really.

No normal person could accept it if their boyfriend told them to take responsibility for a second girl right in front of them.

With his body tense, Hachiman turned around nervously. In that instant, he had made up his mind that even if it meant bowing down to Xiangzi, he would ask her to accept his decision.

just.

Looking back, I didn't see Xiangzi's furrowed brows due to anger; instead, he had a teasing smile on his face.

“I heard what Hachiman and Sose said.”

With a look of tender affection in her eyes, she gently placed her hand on her skirt and spoke.

How should he answer that?

Hachiman, out!

Okay, just kidding.

Hachiman awkwardly touched his head, looking away: "Didn't we talk about this in the bedroom...?"

"You were speaking so loudly, how could we not hear you?"

"It's so embarrassing."

Hachiman covered his face with his hands, as if trying to erase the memory from a few minutes ago.

No, how could I just abandon such a precious memory?

You have to remember this for a lifetime.

Xiangzi moved a little closer silently, as if wanting the other person to re-imbue him with his scent, and said with a playful tone.

"Should I go and tell Su Shi that what we said just now was actually a conspiracy between the two of us to deceive her?"

"I said, Miss Xiangzi..."

"what happened?"

"I suddenly feel that your personality is pretty terrible too."

To this, Xiangzi proudly curled his nose and said, "Well, if I'm not a little bad, what if another girl tries to steal you away? Or do you already hate me?"

"Won't..."

"Idiot, moron, Hachiman..."

"I already said Hachiman isn't an insult..."

Hachiman's lips twitched, but Shoko covered her mouth and chuckled smugly: "Sorry, I just said that in a moment of fun. Let's get ready."

"Ah."

An hour later, the tabletop had been cleaned up and was spotless.

By this time, Nagasaki Motoyo had composed herself and came out of the bedroom again.

Although she accepted it in her heart, facing it in reality was another matter, especially when she saw Xiangzi and Hachiman walking towards her together, she always felt a bit like she was in a dream.

Was it a dream?

If it's a dream, then please never wake up.

As an audience member, Komachi sat quietly in the corner, seemingly scrolling through her phone, but actually watching the three people's every move intently.

A moment later, a look appeared on his face that was a mixture of emotion, surprise, and admiration.

Onii-chan is really good at talking!

She was completely convinced that he had managed to coax the two girls into accepting this strange thing with such flowery words.

I thought I was just here to give them a heads-up and then slowly work things out, but who knew I'd win over both of my sisters-in-law with just a few words?

Such a surreal thing, who would believe it if I told them?

"It's almost time, Komachi. Aren't you rushing to catch the train? Let me give you a ride."

Hachiman glanced at his phone, then turned his attention back to his younger sister.

She's a huge contributor today.

"Oh, I'll go by myself. Onii-chan, you can stay here and keep your sister company."

Komachi didn't stand on ceremony at all and immediately started calling her "older sister."

The two girls turned into teapots in sync, their faces turning red from their ears all the way to their cheeks.

Hachiman, on the other hand, nonchalantly got up and walked towards Komachi: "Let me see you off. There are too many bad people in Tokyo, I'm worried..."

"Indeed, there is one here."

Unable to refute, Hachiman could only look helplessly at Komachi.

"I'll come back after I drop you off."

Wow, that blockhead's finally figured it out!

Komachi nodded excitedly: "Onii-chan did a great job! Then, Su-se-neechan and Sho-ko-neechan, can I borrow your boyfriends for a bit?"

"Oh."

"Ah."

The brother and sister packed up and left quickly.

Inside the room, only the two beautiful girls who had just made up remained.

"Xiangzi, am I dreaming?"

No.

"Really? Can I pinch your cheek?"

Nagasaki Motoyo walked over innocently, but Shoko took a step back, a small action that dealt her a huge blow.

"I'm sorry, I pushed my luck..."

"No, please."

Xiangzi sighed helplessly and brought his smooth face closer.

Gazing at that pretty face that would make even girls' hearts flutter, Nagasaki Motoyo gently touched it, then withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and chuckled.

Are you that happy?

"No, it's just that I didn't expect someone as serious as Xiangzi to agree to such an absurd thing."

"You don't want to?"

Su Shi's smile faded, and she shook her head slightly: "How could I possibly refuse..."

"That's good. I'll probably be very busy in the future. When I'm gone, can I leave the care of Hachiman to you?"

Xiangzi's tone was very sincere; it was impossible to tell that he was joking.

A warm feeling rose in her heart, and Su Shi quickly covered her eyes with her hands, nodding vigorously, "Yes."

Xiangzi: "About Crychic..."

"I'm sorry, Xiangzi. I shouldn't have criticized you before, and I especially shouldn't have spoken to you like that..."

"No, it's all my own fault. Let's just let this go, okay?"

"Ah."

"So, what's next..."

Xiangzi sat upright, took a deep breath, and bowed forward. Seeing this, Su Shi returned the bow in the same manner.

"Let's get along well from now on."

...

Outside the door, just before the elevator arrived, Hachiman, who had been secretly listening to the two's thoughts, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This result is barely acceptable.

"Onii-chan, what are you spacing out for?" Komachi pressed one hand against the elevator door, reminding Hachiman to come in quickly.

"I am coming."

After rushing inside, the metal door closed.

During the few dozen seconds it took to go downstairs, Komachi remained silent for a long time before speaking meaningfully just as the elevator was about to reach the first floor.

"Onii-chan, you'd better work hard from now on, it's really difficult to support two girls."

Hachiman looked over in surprise: "Huh?"

Komachi looked over in surprise as well: "Ah, does that mean Onii-chan is really planning to let the two older sisters take care of you?"

Her mouth dropped open in disbelief, and she said disdainfully, "Onii-chan, what a loser..."

"No, no, no, how could I think that way? I just didn't expect Komachi to say something so heavy."

"Well, reality is always heavy. You'll understand when Onii-chan has kids."

"Hey, I'm only a first-year high school student!"

"Tsk, what a jerk, he already has two such beautiful girlfriends in his first year of high school!"

Komachi's merciless elbow strike nearly knocked out the unsuspecting Hachiman.

That kid really went all out!

Hachiman gently rubbed the ribs that Komachi had broken down, and instead of blaming him, his eyes were filled with a doting smile.

"Thank you so much this time, Komachi. Without your help, I would have continued to run away."

"You're welcome. After all, Komachi is Onii-chan's little sister, oh dear, that sentence scores a lot in Komachi's heart~"

"What are you saying? It sounds like I've heard it somewhere before."

"No, this is the first time I've said it."

The elevator reached the first floor, and the brother and sister went out side by side.

"Onii-chan, you must take good care of your two older sisters from now on. Don't make them sad, don't disappoint them, and most importantly, don't let them feel threatened!"

"Leaving aside the preceding points, what does 'sense of crisis' mean?"

Hachiman asked blankly.

"Idiot, just don't cheat on me!"

...

On Saturday, Komachi returned to Chiba, while Hachiman went back to his home in Nagasaki and stayed there until around nine o'clock before returning to his dormitory with Shoko.

Despite the strange thing that happened yesterday, Hachiman's daily routine hasn't changed much.

On Sundays, studying takes up almost all of Hachiman's time.

Monday was the same, except that after school, he went straight to the Starry Night Performance Hall.
