Does gravity make me stronger?

Page 263

The gentle, pleasant voice instantly dispelled Hachiman's hesitation, and he readily handed over the weight of his upper body to the other person.

The area below my head is soft, bouncy, and warm, which makes me feel very safe.

Beside her ears was a neat light green skirt, and if you shifted your gaze slightly, you might even catch a glimpse of her panties hidden in the shadows.

Of course, Hachiman would never do that.

Anyone who wants to do this should quickly commit suicide as an apology.

but.

Hachiman is a boy after all, and he weighs much more than a girl.

"Won't it be very heavy?"

"Hmm, a little heavier than Aine, but it's okay."

Is it just a little bit? It seems like Aine has gained weight too...

Smoothing Hachiman's hair, Takamatsu Akari's rosy face blossomed with a smile that, for the first time, carried a hint of maternal warmth.

【The Genie!】

Because he was facing away from the ground, Hachiman could clearly see Akari's somewhat embarrassed expression, but apart from that, the place that occupied the largest part of his field of vision was indeed those two big thunderbolts.

No, is it that big?

Looking at it from this angle, I realized that Deng Bao's figure was incredibly good. Looking up from her abdomen, the S-shaped curve was deeply imprinted in my mind.

A surge of heat suddenly welled up in my abdomen.

Damn it!

To stop himself from having wild thoughts, he closed his eyes tightly, but unexpectedly, when his vision was blocked, his sense of smell and hearing began to be amplified.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

He couldn't tell if it was his own heartbeat or the lamp's, but the rhythmic sound rang in his ears. At the same time, there was a breathing sound that was clearer than he had imagined, and hot breaths pattered around his earlobes, making it even harder for him to remain calm.

[That darn Aine, she really knows how to enjoy herself!]

"???"

Fortunately.

This feeling of unease only lasted a short while. Under the gentle caress of the lamp, Hachiman's tense expression gradually began to relax, and sleepiness slowly began to creep in.

"I'll just rest for a bit, I'll get up soon."

"Ah."

I don't know how much time passed.

Hachiman suddenly opened his eyes and felt a tightness in his chest when he realized there was a warm touch on the back of his head.

"What time is it now?"

Takamatsu Akari rested her chin on one hand, then shook her head: "Hmm, I don't know."

"Well, I've rested enough, let's go back first."

"Ah."

The two parted in silence and returned to the classroom together. Just as they were about to enter, the bell rang for the first period.

"Great, I thought I'd slept until school was over."

It's fine for him, but if it causes Deng Bao to skip class for no reason, then he will be in big trouble.

After a midday rest, Hachiman was refreshed and in high spirits. However, in a corner, a group of gossipy girls were whispering among themselves.

"Hey, you guys just noticed that Hachiman and Izumi haven't come back since they went out for lunch break."

"A coincidence, perhaps?"

One of the girls said dismissively.

"They've always had a good relationship, and more importantly, haven't you noticed that Deng Bao's walking posture is really strange?"

"That's true, he was limping when he came in."

A few seconds later, she gasped sharply: "Wait, could it be... No way, this is a school!"

"Why not? I've read several doujinshi about the infirmary battles."

"No way, I never imagined you were this kind of person in private?"

"Hmph, so what!"

"Fine, whatever... But I heard that Hachiman already has a girlfriend, and she's a real beauty from Class 1-B."

"Holy crap, premarital infidelity?"

Although she found the idea of ​​premarital infidelity a bit bizarre, the fact remained that it happened. The girl covered her flushed cheeks and muttered softly, "I never imagined that the top student in our school would be this kind of person!!!"

---Cut line---

There will be another update this afternoon.

Chapter 256, Section 253: Hachiman: Obeying the Lamp God's Will (Edited)

Hachiman was completely unaware of the gossip among the girls. He had been paying close attention in class all afternoon, and even felt like he had regained the state of mind he had before the final exams.

And it was almost time to get out of school.

"Hachiman."

Gao Songdeng came again: "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, thanks to your help, I feel much better now."

The two made no attempt to hide their conversation, and the girls at the back of the classroom who had been eavesdropping on them erupted in excitement once again.

No, what's wrong with those guys?

Hachiman merely glanced in that direction, and the guilty gossip group instantly scattered like birds and beasts.

"Great, it seems that lap pillows are quite useful."

Takamatsu Akari continued speaking.

Hachiman shyly looked away, paused, and said, "Oh, by the way, I have a question for you, Akari. Are you available now?"

"Yes, that's convenient!"

"...Actually, it has something to do with Goto-kun. She's been avoiding me these past few days."

"Pochi-chan?"

"Yes."

"What happened between you two?"

When asked about the crucial point, Hachiman bit his lip, his expression turning somewhat grim: "Well, how should I put it? There were some unpleasant things, but not an argument, but something much harder to resolve."

"It's alright, I believe Hachiman will handle it smoothly." Takamatsu Akari trusted Hachiman unconditionally.

"I'd like to, but I don't know where to start right now, and Goto has been avoiding me."

After thinking for a moment, Takamatsu Akari offered a suggestion: "Has Hachiman visited her house?"

"No, that's not true. Besides, I'm afraid even if I went, they wouldn't want to see me."

Given Fujiwara Ichiri's mental state, there's a very high possibility that he's pretending not to be home. Putting myself in his shoes, if it were Hachiman, he would most likely do the same.

but.

"If you don't see me, just keep waiting."

Takamatsu Akari's casual remark left Hachiman speechless, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, he began to ponder.

"Are we just going to wait?"

He murmured to himself thoughtfully.

Indeed, as long as he persists, Goto Ichiri can't hide forever; he'll have to come out and face him sooner or later.

But is it really necessary to do this?

7 PM.

Inside an ordinary residential house in Yokohama.

With a "click," Goto Ichiri unlocked the door with his key, pushed it open, and weakly called out, "I'm back."

Welcome home.

Goto's mother, who was preparing dinner, hurried out and greeted her eldest daughter with a smile: "Ichiri-chan, did anything interesting happen at school today?"

"Nothing special."

"...Yeah?"

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that her eldest daughter, who had just become more cheerful, seemed to have reverted to her old, withdrawn and quiet self.

"Is something on your mind, Ichiri-chan?"

Looking at Goto Ichiri's absent-minded appearance, she thought with some concern.

"I'm going upstairs now."

After exchanging greetings, Goto Ichiri slowly walked up to the second floor like a rusty robot.

Goto's father, who had already finished get off work, came out of the living room and felt very sorry for his daughter when he saw her looking preoccupied: "Honey, could it be related to Hachiman's matter?"

Goto's mother gasped, "Oh dear, could it be that Ichiri-chan was rejected after confessing her feelings?"

Both of them could tell that Hachiman didn't dislike Ichiri; on the contrary, he probably liked her quite a bit.

If I confess my feelings directly, although the timing might not be quite right, I probably won't be rejected outright.

unless...

Hachiman already has a girlfriend.

If that's really the case, then they've become the culprits behind their daughter's heartbreak, since it was this couple who initially instigated Goto Ichiri to confess her feelings.

"Honey, what should we do?"

Goto's mother gripped the edge of her apron, her knuckles turning slightly white.

"I'll try asking tonight. If something really goes wrong, I can only try my best to calm Yili down."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too impatient."

"It's not your fault. If I had to say, I also have a problem."

Feeling guilty, the two were about to return to the kitchen when the doorbell rang again.

"who is it?"

They exchanged a glance, neither of them having any concrete thoughts about the person knocking on the door.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Goto's mother responded and took small steps to open the door. The familiar face made Goto's parents' eyes widen in astonishment.

"Excuse me, who are you...? Oh, Hachiman, what brings you here?"

Did this child take the tram for two hours to get here?

Hachiman nodded politely and looked into the house: "Excuse me for bothering you so late, Uncle and Aunt. Is Goto-kun home right now?"

"Ah, Ichiri-chan..."

Just as Goto's father was about to speak, Goto's mother suddenly interrupted, "Hachiman, why don't you come in and sit down for a bit? Ichiri-chan is changing her clothes, so you might have to wait a while."

"Ah."

Hachiman entered the entrance hall and began to take off his shoes.

Afterwards, the three of them entered the living room together. Hachiman looked around and, probably sensing his thoughts, Goto's mother took the initiative to introduce them.

"Erli-chan has an event at school today, so she'll be back later."
