Does gravity make me stronger?

He took out his phone and started browsing the news from last night.

Back in the dorm, Su Shi sent a few simple messages to indicate that Goto Ichiri had settled down at home. Goto Ichiri later sent a message saying that she had explained the situation to her parents and received their permission to stay away from home.

but.

What exactly happened last night remains a mystery.

Could it be that his two girlfriends are actually white pufferfish, and they already took advantage of Goto Ichiri yesterday?

Absolutely not!

Stopping his random thoughts, Hachiman got out of bed and completed his washing up without expression.

"Drip!"

My phone started vibrating regularly.

Upon opening it, it wasn't a message from Su Shi and the others, but from Hong Xia.

Nijika: Hikigaya-kun, remember to meet at Shimokitazawa Station at 9:00 this morning!

Yabai, he'd completely forgotten he was supposed to go to Kamakura today...

Hachiman hurriedly replied with a single sentence.

Hachiman: Okay

Hongxia: You absolutely can't be late, or we'll come to your dorm to find you!

[What, do you want it to be real offline?]

Don't make trouble.

But I really don't want to go out in this weather...

Hachiman glanced sadly out the window, feeling half-dead inside. He just hoped that Nijika and the others wouldn't stay out too long and would go home soon.

Hachiman quickly tidied his bed, changed into a light-colored T-shirt and cargo shorts, and opened the dormitory door.

A wave of heat hit me.

"It's really hot."

...

At Shimokitazawa Station, people come and go. Office workers wearing white short-sleeved shirts carry briefcases in one hand and scroll through videos on their phones in the other, with background music of roast chicken dancing occasionally leaking out.

At the entrance, Hachiman wiped the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand, observing the passersby with a quiet expression, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

Will he be like this in the future?

In the sweltering summer, they still have to work hard to earn money to support their families.

[The gigolo's unrealistic fantasies are at it again.]

Tsk, don't interrupt me...

Hachiman's lips twitched. Although he didn't mind being a gigolo, he still had some dignity to maintain.

Unless he gets beaten down by society after graduating from university to the point of mental breakdown, or unless the Nagasaki family becomes the number one family in Japan, his first choice will still be to go out and work.

That's right. Instead of lamenting here, we should think about our future plans.

Being a band member is certainly a good job, but achieving financial freedom is quite difficult. He should think carefully about what resources he currently has at his disposal.

Got it!

Kaguya Shinomiya!

[Trying to be a kept man again?]

Living off a woman?

You must be joking.

To make a deal with a behemoth like Shinomiya is like asking a tiger for its skin; it could very well lead to one's death or, no, to being devoured by a backlash.

Therefore, Hachiman wouldn't be so arrogant as to plot against the entire Shinomiya family; he simply wanted to take advantage of Kaguya Shinomiya's popularity to make a small profit.

In fact, if it's for survival, being a kept man is not a shameful thing; others would be envious.

Moreover, from a certain perspective, he can't be considered a gigolo, because he earns his wages through labor, which is protected by law.

of course.

The only question here is whether Kaguya Shinomiya will still need him after graduating from high school.

In short.

While Kaguya Shinomiya still needs him, he must do his best to boost her favorability.

Having decided on his future plans, Hachiman clenched his fist slightly and began to focus his attention elsewhere.

A message from Su Shi came through my phone.

Su Shi: Sister Wells.JPG

Chapter 260, Section 257: Hongxia: My family is drenched in sweat.

In the photo, Su Shi is making a "V" sign at the camera with a bright smile, while behind her, Xiangzi looks over with a somewhat bewildered expression, seemingly unaware of the camera's presence.

Oh my, girl, you're taking pictures secretly.

Having learned this, Hachiman began typing rapidly on the virtual keyboard of his phone.

Hachiman: So cute, please take another picture!

A few seconds later.

Su Shi: Second group photo.JPG

I hurriedly opened the picture.

In the picture, Xiangzi, who was still in the back, seemed to have noticed something. He puffed out his cheeks and walked over aggressively. In the lower right corner of the picture, Su Shi's smile was stiff, probably also realizing the threat from behind.

As expected, new messages popped up soon after.

Su Shi: Wait a moment, Xiangzi is coming!

Su Shi: Voice message (9 seconds)

Hachiman turned on the speakerphone and held the phone to his ear to listen, but all he heard was a crackling sound, and he had no idea what was happening.

We apologize, but when we arrived at the scene, we only found this phone.

Hachiman:? ? ?

The message paused for one minute.

Su Shi: Xiangzi is angry, so she can't send photos to Hachiman anymore.

Hachiman:...

Hachiman: What did you guys do today?

On the first day of summer vacation, the two sisters seemed to have made plans to go out together, but Hachiman didn't know exactly where they went.

Judging from the background, it's probably a shopping mall or something similar.

Su Shi: I went to the mall with Xiangzi today and bought a lot of clothes!

Su Shi: A large bag of clothes.JPG

Hachiman: It looks like a skirt?

Su Shi: You guessed wrong, hehe, it's a very useful thing.

Hachiman: Is it useful?

Su Shi: Clothing Details.JPG

Another photo came through my phone.

Hachiman casually clicked on it, and the black silk fabric came into view.

His brows furrowed suddenly.

Holy crap, black stockings!

After a brief pause, Hachiman swiftly turned off the screen, then subconsciously turned his head left and right to make sure no one was watching before zooming in on the image again.

It really is!

These aren't the ordinary black stockings; they're an upgraded version with intricate patterns and suspender buckles!

No, why am I getting so agitated...?

Hachiman shook his head violently, trying to shake the damned lewd thoughts out of his brain.

Hachiman: Hey, don't post random pictures from the internet!

Su Shi: Image from the internet?

Suze: Hachiman is so cute, you'll see tonight!

"Evening...evening?"

Hachiman couldn't hold back and let out a soft sound. Oh no, this was too much for an innocent first-year high school boy. He had to change the subject quickly.

Hachiman: Um, did Goto go home?

The transition was extremely abrupt, and Hachiman was eager to change the subject. Fortunately, Sose didn't dwell on the black stockings and quickly replied.

Su Shi: Boqi-chan? Didn't she come to find you?

Hachiman: You've come looking for me?

Su Shi: Yes, she said today was the end of the band's team-building activity, which was very important, so she went home early.

Are you home?

Go back to Yokohama from Tokyo, and then come here again?

Hachiman was ashamed; he really didn't know what to say...

[Just sweat it out and the soybeans will be done.]

Hachiman: I understand. May I ask what you two talked about last night?

Su Shi: It's nothing, just a conversation between girls. Ah, but there's something that's been bothering me.

Hachiman: What?

Suze: It's nothing, Hachiman will find out once we get back to Chiba.

Hachiman:? ? ?

Who taught you to ask such tantalizing questions?

Hachiman clicked his tongue in surprise, and just as he was about to press for more information, he heard a familiar girl's voice beside him.

"Hikigaya-san!"

Not far away, a golden ponytail was bouncing.

Hachiman immediately put his phone back in his pocket, his gaze falling on the person who had spoken, and his smile softened instantly.

Good morning, Ijichi-kun.

Today, Hongxia wore a cool, light yellow dress with a large red bow on her right hand, exuding the lively and adorable charm unique to girls her age.

Nijika walked over leisurely with her hands behind her back, looked around and asked in confusion, "Is it just Hachiman? What about Kita-chan, Ryo, and Pochi-chan?"

"They shouldn't have arrived yet, right?"

Hachiman shrugged, indicating that he was unaware of the situation, but he guessed that Goto Ichiri was either almost there or had simply canceled.

"Oh my god, I've heard about Hachiman Hikigaya."

Nijika nudged Hachiman in the stomach with a playful smile: "Poch-chan has already confessed to you?"

Hachiman's lips tightened.

Rainbow Summer Angel, this is a slide you absolutely cannot touch.

"Did the store manager say that?"
