Does gravity make me stronger?

"Oh?"

A dangerous smile played on Su Shi's face. She then propped her chin up with her hands, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Then I'll be eagerly anticipating Hachiman's performance tonight~"

Chapter 269-266 The Hot Spring Murder Case

"Hey, what's the point of this provocation?"

"Provocation?" Su Shi's eyes darted around, and she said in a gentle tone, "How could it be a provocation? Hachiman wouldn't want to disappoint you, would he?"

"..."

Hachiman had just started to complain when he suddenly frowned, realizing that he seemed to have fallen into a trap woven by the girl.

What a wicked woman!

Suppressing his inner masculinity, Hachiman stiffly picked up the tray and walked away, saying, "I'm going back to my room to rest. See you tonight."

They ran away.

Watching the receding figure, a triumphant gleam shone in her aquamarine eyes. Su Shi calmly placed her hands on her abdomen and murmured to herself.

"Okay, see you tonight."

...

night.

There wasn't much cicada chirping at the beach; instead, there was the sound of waves crashing one after another.

The sound of ocean waves is usually used as white noise to help people sleep, but at this moment, Hachiman did not feel that the rhythmic sound had any effect on calming his emotions.

"Splash—"

Hachiman closed the window, then used his hands as a pillow and lay on the bed in a "V" shape.

"Drip!"

There is new information.

I unlocked the screen and tapped on her profile picture to find that it was a message from Hongxia.

Nijika: Hikigaya-kun, thank you for what happened this morning!

With his other hand free, Hachiman typed at a normal pace.

Hachiman: You're welcome. Instead, you're saying it was my mistake. If I had checked the schedule with everyone this morning, this wouldn't have happened.

Hongxia: It's okay, how is Pochi-chan now?

Hongxia: She hasn't checked her text messages all afternoon, and Ryo and Kita-chan are both very worried.

Hachiman: She's back in her room now, she's probably fine.

Hongxia: The room?

Hongxia: You guys went to stay at a hotel?

Hachiman: Hmm

I briefly explained the hotel situation, and a reply came through my phone very quickly.

Hongxia: Ah, I'm so envious of Boqi-chan~

Nijika: Wait a minute, so is Hikigaya-san, Motoyo-san, Pochi-chan, and Toyokawa-san together now?

Hongxia: Wow, what a powerful battleground!

Does this child know what he's saying?

Hachiman: Did I do something to upset Goto-kun?

Hongxia:...

Nijika: That's exactly it, Hachiman. If you're too awkward, you're not cute at all.

Hachiman: Mind your own business

Hachiman: Besides, Xiangzi has something come up and won't be here until tomorrow.

Hongxia: This ignorant boy, anything more than two people will create a chaotic situation!

Seeing that he wasn't going to pretend to be stupid, Hachiman gave a wry smile and continued typing.

Hachiman: Anyway, I'll bring Goto-kun over tomorrow to meet up with you guys.

Hachiman: I'll take you around to some interesting places in Chiba later, and then you can train again the day after tomorrow.

Hongxia: Thank you so much!

Hongxia: But is it really okay to leave Toyokawa and Suze hanging? Girls are very sensitive.

Hachiman: It's alright, probably. If I make them angry, I'll just kneel down on the spot.

Nijika: Haha, Hachiman really loves to joke around. Don't worry, we'll be more careful tomorrow.

Hongxia: Also, good luck with the battleground!

Hachiman: I already said this isn't a battleground!

After staying in the room for a while, seeing that it was almost time, Hachiman put down his phone and headed towards the family-style hot spring with his change of clothes.

In the morning, the housekeeper had specifically explained to them that each VIP room has its own private hot spring bath, which is thoroughly cleaned after each use.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about hygiene issues at all. In addition, the bathroom is very private, and as long as the noise is not too loud, it will not be heard by the neighbors.

After speaking, the housekeeper smiled and bowed to Su Shi and Goto Ichiri.

Hachiman wasn't unable to understand what this guy was thinking, but did he have to be so blunt? The guests also had to save face, you know.

Thinking about all this, Hachiman realized he had forgotten to contact Sose when he got to the changing room.

He quickly sent a text message before hurriedly taking off his clothes.

"I'm coming in."

He casually called out and turned the glass door to the bathroom.

A thick cloud of water vapor rushed towards us, suddenly narrowing our field of vision considerably.

Squinting, one can vaguely see a huge weighted stone under the eaves of a wooden house not far away, with trickling streams flowing from the stone and gathering together to form a pool of water.

In a daze, Hachiman walked toward the shower area.

however.

The moment he stepped into the room, a huge ripple spread across the spring water.

Because of the moisture, Hachiman couldn't see what was on the other side, only the outline of a girl.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Hachiman suppressed his embarrassment and spoke up.

So Su Shi had already come in. He was just foolishly sending messages...

Whether out of shyness or something else, the other party did not respond. Hachiman stood awkwardly on the ground for a while before carefully turning on the tap and starting to take a shower.

"Zizzizi."

I've had a good shower, time to go to bed!

Yeah, right...:

Now that things had come to this point, Hachiman had no way out. He gritted his teeth, turned his spear around, and headed towards the hot spring, towards the direction where the steam was strongest.

Wow, it's huge!

The hot spring.

This was Hachiman's first impression. He had thought it was just a small, square pond, but when he got closer, he realized it was nearly several tens of square meters.

So, having money means you can enjoy such a wonderful hot spring all to yourself?

Putting aside his envy and jealousy of the Shinomiya family, Hachiman tiptoed into the water.

next moment.

"It's so hot!"

He barely touched it before his toes recoiled as if electrocuted, and it took him a long time to adjust to the temperature before he slowly immersed his entire body in it. *Sigh*

"Su Shi, don't you think this hot spring is a bit too hot?"

"..."

Still no response.

Hachiman mustered his courage and turned his gaze toward where the girl was.

At this distance, Hachiman could see the other's smooth shoulders exposed to the air, their skin flushed a captivating blush from the hot spring.

My heart was pounding.

Moreover, the hot spring was indeed a bit unbearable; Hachiman almost wanted to jump up.

But when he thought about how the girl had held back, how could he show weakness?

With this thought in mind, Hachiman took a deep breath.

Just then.

"Brush!"

The figure in the pool suddenly stood up.

As a result, Hachiman was able to see the other party's full appearance.

She was slightly shorter than I remembered, her pink hair was tied up in a bun, and the wet towel only covered the most crucial parts, leaving the rest of her body completely exposed.

Gazing at this body, which resembled a work of art, Hachiman showed no sign of being distracted; instead, he fell into a daze.

"Goto?!"

"A private Marseille!"

The girl, whom Hachiman mistook for "Suyo," but was actually Goto Ichiri, tightly protected her chest, but her deadly weapon was still about to burst out, absorbing all of Hachiman's attention like a black hole.

So white and so big!

no...

He meant, "How come it's you?"

Hachiman's gaze quickly shifted downwards, omitting her slender waist, before fixing his eyes on the water's surface. "Um, excuse me."

With her head down, Goto Ichiri's expression was not visible, but the trembling in her voice revealed the wavering in her heart.

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't know Hachiman would come in at this time. I'll get out right away, ee-ya!"

In his haste, Goto Ichiri lost his balance and fell forward abruptly.

Hearing the noise, Hachiman quickly looked up.

Unfortunately, the scene involving face wash didn't happen like in the anime. Goto Ichiri just stumbled a few times, then steadied herself and staggered towards the locker room.

However, at the same time, the part of his back that was not covered by a bath towel was also exposed to Hachiman's eyes.

A polite gentleman would close his eyes at this point and wave his hand as if nothing had happened, but clearly, Hachiman didn't have that kind of self-control.

The dead fish eyes followed the girl's gorgeous figure, moving towards the doorway. Then, through the steam, it saw the door open and the figure disappear completely.

A seed of regret or shame sprouted in his heart, and Hachiman lay silently in the hot spring.

The hot spring, which should have been scalding hot, now seems rather ordinary.

After a while.

In the extremely quiet environment, the door was opened again.

This time, there were no problems with the people who came in.

With her long chestnut-yellow hair swaying gently as she walked, Su Shi, wrapped in a safe bath towel, quickly arrived at the shower area.

"Hey, Hachiman, you've arrived?"
