Does gravity make me stronger?

That's too sensitive.

It still shakes when touched.

Besides, this is a public place, is it really okay to do that kind of thing here?

Could there be hidden cameras or something?

Hachiman's paranoia reached its peak at this moment.

Don't worry, I've checked, there's nothing there.

is it?

That puts my mind at ease.

After walking for a while, Hachiman gradually straightened his chest.

After taking a bath, Su Shi didn't try to pester him any further. Instead, she obediently returned to her room and didn't mention a word about what had happened in the hot spring.

As we all know, once something takes a first step, there will be a second step, and once there is a second step, it will naturally lead to a third step.

Having tasted success today, Hachiman naturally fantasizes about when he can take the next step.

wrong!

This kind of useless thinking is unacceptable.

Indeed, we should be proactive, not reactive.

Que's.

Anyway, let's go soak in a hot spring.

For some reason, Hachiman went into the bathroom again and used the scalding hot spring to wash away the random thoughts in his mind.

Perhaps because he had soaked in the hot springs twice in a row, Hachiman did not sleep well all night and only managed to doze off for a while when the sun was about to rise in the morning.

When I woke up again, my phone's chat window was filled with new messages.

Xiangzi: Hachiman, I've arrived at the hotel.

It's Xiangzi!

With Xiangzi here, Hachiman is saved!

With Xiangzi's arrival, Hachiman's good days are about to begin!

Upon seeing the message, Hachiman immediately informed Suze and rushed out of the room.

Xiangzi was in the hotel lobby.

"Good morning, Xiangzi."

Good morning, Hachiman.

After exchanging greetings, Hachiman began to scrutinize Xiangzi from head to toe. Unlike her usual attire, Xiangzi was wearing a dark-colored dress today, and her hair was decorated with several black headbands.

It's quite novel, and this image is very similar to the style of Ave Mujica's performances.

"...Wouldn't that be strange?"

Noticing the gaze from the other person, Xiangzi adjusted the angle of his bangs somewhat uneasily, his body swaying slightly.

Shy Xiangzi is so cute!

"No, it suits you perfectly. Have you checked into your room yet? If not, I can help you."

"Yes, this lady has already processed it for me."

Not far behind Xiangzi, the housekeeper, dressed in work clothes, nodded slightly, carrying a bag of luggage in her hand.

Their service is unmatched.

[A butler who costs a million dollars for two nights, it would be strange if his attitude was bad]

Oh, are you getting impatient?

Wait a minute, isn't there something wrong with what you just said?

After thinking for a moment, Hachiman realized what was wrong.

You stinky system, trying to drive, huh?

"Xiangzi sauce!"

Su Shi arrived at the hall one step later and greeted Xiangzi with cheers upon seeing him.

"Su Shi, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Mmm, that's good. Oh right, Xiangzi-chan, come with me for a moment."

In front of Hachiman, Sose pulled Shoko aside and the two whispered to each other.

If one were to use their inner voice, it would be barely audible at this distance, but Hachiman chose to do nothing.

A moment later, Xiangzi covered her mouth, her surprised gaze shifting back and forth between Hachiman and Suze.

"That's my problem."

Hachiman took the initiative to step forward and admit his mistake.

Xiangzi was puzzled and put his hand down, asking softly, "Why did Hachiman apologize?"

"How should I put it, I just feel a bit guilty."

Although it could be considered an accident, the root cause was that he failed to control his desires.

Xiangzi thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, Hachiman needs to reflect on his actions."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"However, the reflection I'm talking about might be different from the reflection Hachiman is talking about. I mean, Hachiman shouldn't feel guilty about this kind of thing. We're both Hachiman's girlfriends, aren't we?"

A beam of white light shot out from behind Xiangzi.

As if struck by a tremendous shock, Hachiman clutched his chest and staggered backward.

An angel, this child is simply an angel...

next moment.

"Well, I'm a little worried about my progress bar though."

Xiangzi muttered something embarrassedly. Seeing this, Su Shi grinned and pushed Xiangzi next to Hachiman: "Then today, I'll give Hachiman to Xiangzi."

"Hey, Su Shi, what are you talking about?"

Xiangzi didn't resist, but hurriedly tidied his bangs: "Even if you say that, I have no idea what to do next."

"Oh dear, Xiangzi-chan, do I have to teach you something like this?"

Su Shi covered her mouth and chuckled softly, while Xiangzi turned his face away shyly.

The two were having a pleasant conversation.

"Um, excuse me, I might have to go out this afternoon. I'll be back tonight to keep you company, okay?"

Hachiman's face turned red as he raised his hand. If the two of them were allowed to continue their conversation, what followed would likely be content unsuitable for children.

He had already explained the end of the band beforehand, so the two girls weren't very surprised when they heard the news.

"Yeah, Hachiman, you need to work hard. We're counting on you to finish up the band."

Xiangzi snapped out of her reverie and gently patted Hachiman's shoulder: "Speaking of which, Goto-kun is at the hotel too, right?"

"That child should still be resting."

Thinking of the misunderstanding from last night, Hachiman looked away uncomfortably, a gesture that was noticed by the observant Shoko: "What happened between you two last night?"

No...no.

Hachiman quickly shook his head: "Anyway, I'll go wake Goto up first, and then you guys can rest at the hotel for a while during the day. I'll definitely be back tonight."

...

hotel room.

Goto Ichiri had already packed her luggage. Looking at the bed she had spent the night in, she actually felt a little bit of attachment.

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door.

"Goto-san, I've come to pick you up."

"Coming, coming!"

Goto Ichiri gripped the doorknob somewhat hesitantly, took a deep breath for three seconds before opening the door, and then met Hachiman's gaze directly: "Um, Hachiman-kun, good morning."

Yesterday's events don't seem to have had much of an impact on Goto Ichiri...

Hachiman paused for a moment before replying, "Good morning, Goto-kun, about yesterday..."

"Um, Nijika and the others are almost here, Hachiman, let's hurry up."

They started to run away.

It seems that Goto Ichiri is not entirely indifferent.

"Yes, but we might need to go to the tram station first. I'll help you with your luggage."

"I can do it myself."

Goto Ichiri stubbornly protected her suitcase, and Hachiman had no choice but to let her go for the time being.

...

Chiba Railway Station.

"It's so hot."

As soon as he stepped out of the train car, Yamada Ryo stuck out his tongue in disgust and then tried to retreat back into the air-conditioned car.

At that moment, Hongxia glanced sideways, then pushed Yamada Ryo to the doorway with her buttocks.

"Hurry up and get out of here, Liang, you're blocking the exit."

"But it's really hot."

After being forcibly kicked off the train, Yamada Ryo used his hand as a fan to fan his face repeatedly: "I thought Chiba would at least be a little cooler, but it's completely the same."

"Hey, Ryo-senpai, why do I feel like it's alright? Besides, Chiba is actually right next to Tokyo," Kita replied from time to time, taking pictures everywhere with his camera.

"Where's it cool? Hachiman Valley, I'm going to die of heat if we don't come soon."

"It's all because you wore long pants and long sleeves to look cool."

Hongxia muttered a complaint, then glanced at Yamada Ryo's outfit: a black long-sleeved shirt paired with black trousers, and a whole bunch of sparkly accessories. "If you're not hot, who is?"

"This, this is my style. Rock and roll should look like rock and roll..."

Yamada Ryo muttered something, while Nijika gave a perfunctory "Hi hi," indicating that she had had enough of this guy's excuses.

Then, she loosely clenched her fist and used it as a telescope to observe what was in front of her. A short while later, she let out a strange cry of "Ah!"

Nijika: "What's wrong? Have you seen Hachiman?"

"No, I saw the ice cream truck. Hongxia, give me the money."

"Okay, but I'll talk to my sister and tell her to deduct it from your salary this month."

"Tsk."

Yamada Ryo clicked his tongue, wondering whether he should get an advance on next month's salary, but in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the ice cream and asked Nijika for it on credit.

While Yamada Ryo was enjoying ice cream to cool off, a familiar figure finally appeared in their field of vision.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Hachiman and Goto Ichiri arrived at the station, panting heavily.

“It hasn’t been long…” Nijika was about to speak when Yamada Ryo interrupted her, “You’ve been waiting a long time. If you don’t treat me to ice cream, I’m going to quit the game.”

She subtly wiped the ice cream stains from her lips.

"sorry."

Hachiman's lips twitched slightly, then he took out his wallet and bought an ice cream for each of the four of them.

Seeing Yamada Ryo happily eating his second ice cream, Nijika said helplessly, "Hachigaya-kun, you're too easygoing. Ryo is obviously joking."
