Does gravity make me stronger?

Looking at his reflection in the train car window, Goto Ichiri gave a disgusting smile.

While it is indeed unbelievable to use the word "disgusting" on a beautiful girl, people around actually moved in the opposite direction when they saw Goto Ichiri grinning at herself in the mirror.

Even the young man who was originally going to ask for contact information was so frightened by this eerie smile that he took a step back.

As soon as the tram stopped, Goto Ichiri quickly covered his face with a mask, lowered his body, and hurriedly stepped out of the carriage.

I've arrived in Chiba again, and although it's only been a day, my feelings are completely different.

"I feel so happy, I'm Hachiman's girlfriend now, hehe."

Just as she was talking to herself, an unfamiliar voice sounded from behind her.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Hey?"

Goto Ichiri instinctively shrank his shoulders, listening to the trembling voice, and turned around shakily: "Um, is there anything I can help you with?"

Standing behind was a dark-skinned boy with a buzz cut and a very robust physique; he appeared to be a student in some sports club.

Upon seeing Goto Ichiri turn around, the boy bowed deeply and said, "Excuse me, classmate, you're very cute. Can I have your contact information?"

"Hey hey hey?"

Goto Ichiri touched her face in disbelief. Could a stinky old woman like her really have boys who like her?

No, no, we can't think like that. Hachiman likes her too, doesn't he?

So, what should we do now, and how should we refuse?

As someone with social anxiety, Goto Ichiri had never been approached by someone before, so she was naturally completely bewildered.

Seeing her hesitation, the boy pressed on, "I'm a first-year student at Chiba High School next door, my name is..."

Before they could finish speaking, a figure that wasn't very tall stood between them.

"I'm sorry, she's my girlfriend."

The resounding words stunned the boy, who stammered awkwardly after a long pause, "Ah, I see. I'm sorry for being so presumptuous."

After saying that, the boy ran out of the tram station without looking back.

Goto Ichiri shrank back and said in a low voice, "Um, Hachiman, thank you."

Hachiman turned around calmly: "Next time you encounter something like this, remember to just turn around and leave. If you really can't, contact me by phone."

He was waiting at the door when he accidentally spotted Goto Ichiri through his eagle eyes and came in, only to witness this scene.

It's quite remarkable that Goto Ichiri has grown to the point where people approach her on the street.

"Mm." Goto Ichiri nodded obediently, a relieved smile on her face. "Hachigaya-kun, you were really cool just now."

"It's what I should do."

An awkward silence rose between the two.

"Cough cough!"

Hachiman coughed lightly, breaking the silence first: "Well, let's just take a bus to the amusement park."

"Okay, where are Su Shi and Xiangzi?"

Goto Ichiri looked around but couldn't find the two girls.

"They'll come later."

So, if it was just the two of us in the morning, does that count as a date?

...

As is widely known, Tokyo Disneyland is not located in Tokyo, but in Chiba Prefecture.

Although people like Hachiman, who are pure-blooded Chiba, have a lot of complaints about this and have even promoted it on their own online, most people still assume that Tokyo Disneyland is located in downtown Tokyo.

"Damn it, we have to find a way to change the name to Chiba Disney."

Hachiman gripped the railing, her thoughts already far away. The girl sitting in front of her, however, looked around restlessly, occasionally touching her hair.

Hachiman's gaze swept over the girl's worried brow, and he suddenly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, it's just that I feel like a lot of people are looking at me. Hachiman-kun, is there something on my face?"

Goto Ichiri looked at her pitifully, her pretty face with its light makeup making it hard not to be captivated.

Oh no, I almost didn't wake up...

After escaping the trap, Hachiman casually looked around and casually opened his mind, whereupon he heard many comments about Goto Ichiri.

Most of the comments were compliments, but some were also harassing.

He had no intention of becoming a tram judge, but he couldn't tolerate such disgusting behavior, so he narrowed his eyes, and his dead fish eyes instantly became incredibly cloudy.

As soon as they make eye contact, all those awful thoughts vanish instantly.

Hmph, that's all it is.

Immediately afterwards, Hachiman used his body to block some extra view, and this war without gunpowder came to an end.

Sitting in his seat, Goto Ichiri suddenly blinked and said, "Hey, I feel so much better right now."

"That was just your imagination."

"is it?"

Goto Ichiri didn't think much of it; she simply assumed it was another episode of her paranoia.

The tram sped along and soon arrived at its destination.

"What a beautiful amusement park."

It was Goto Ichiri's first time visiting Disneyland, and she was inevitably stunned by the magnificent gate that came into view.

"Is this your first time here?"

"Hachiman, isn't this the first time?"

The girl timidly raised her eyes, her pink lips, coated with lip gloss, radiating a captivating glow.

Even the most unremarkable girl can become much prettier with just a little makeup.

Goto Ichiri was already a natural beauty, and with simple makeup, her charm surpassed that of most people.

Forcibly pulling himself back to reality, Hachiman scratched the back of his head: "Because Komachi really likes coming here, I'll occasionally come with her once or twice when my parents aren't available."

In fact, he has been accompanying Komachi every year since junior high school.

However, every time I visit, whether it's a weekday or a holiday, the number of visitors to the amusement park never decreases, remaining at near saturation.

"Oh my god, Komachi-chan is so lucky."

"Now follow me. Do you want something more exciting or something more relaxing?"

As Hachiman said this, he activated his Onii-chan mode and began leading the way.

"Relax...relax a little."

Goto Ichiri stood there anxiously, looking around. Seeing this, Hachiman couldn't help but sigh and slowly closed the distance: "If you don't stay close, you might get lost."

"sorry."

She lowered her head again, staring helplessly at the ground.

"Ahem, what I mean is, how about we hold hands?"

"Hey?"

Goto Ichiri suddenly looked up and met Hachiman's somewhat evasive gaze: "W-is it...is that alright?"

"After all, if we get lost, it will be a lot of trouble to find us, so if you don't mind..."

As she said this, Goto Ichiri tentatively extended her palm, but then withdrew it mid-air: "No, no, no, hands like mine in the groin area sweat a lot and don't feel comfortable to touch..."

Hachiman scratched his head in frustration, only now realizing what it was like to interact with an awkward child.

This is driving me crazy...

I'm sorry, Su Shi, Xiang Zi, I caused you trouble in the past.

Bad thoughts formed in his mind, but Hachiman quickly shook his head to clear these dark thoughts away.

"It's okay, I don't mind."

His tone became a bit harsher.

"what..."

Goto Ichiri looked around uneasily, then closed his eyes.

Why does it look like we're going to kiss?

Hachiman pursed his dry lips, quickly reached out, and felt a cool sensation the moment his hand touched his skin.

Then, Goto Ichiri reflexively shuddered: "Gulp! As expected, someone like me..."

Before he could even speak, Hachiman gripped the other person tightly, and only then did Goto Ichiri stop struggling.

"Hikiya-kun seems really skilled..."

"!?"

Hachiman shuddered and looked away, saying, "I'm sorry, but I've spent some time with Shoko and the others after all."

"Oh, I wasn't blaming Hachiman, I'm so sorry."

After a while, the two of them chuckled softly at the same time.

Hachiman: "Then, shall we continue shopping?"

Goto Ichiri: "Hmm."

While it's touted as relaxing, Disney doesn't actually offer many thrilling rides. Unlike other amusement parks, Disney focuses on family-friendly activities and immersive experiences, so those looking for thrills are destined to be disappointed.

However, starting with something like a carousel was a bit of a hassle, but he still asked anyway.

Would you like to sit here?

Directly in front of them is the classic carousel, with many fairytale characters beckoning customers.

Speaking of which, wearing thick cosplay clothes in 30-degree weather must be really tough.

Hachiman silently saluted the dedicated staff.

"I feel... a little unable to accept it."

"what?"

Realizing she had said something strange, Goto Ichiri quickly explained, "Um, I don't hate carousels, it's just that sitting on one makes me think of some bad things."

The girl's lips twitched slightly, and a black aura emanated from behind her.

Well, it's true that you always see a lot of couples playing and frolicking on carousels, but Bochi-chan, let's consider us one of your targets now.

Hachiman mentally complained as he turned to another facility.

"Um, how about it?"

Hachiman looked at a towering building not far away—Mount Waterfall.

Chapter 279, Section 276: The girl remains enigmatic.

Waterfall Mountain, a classic Disney attraction, is known for its lifelike cartoon character models in the tunnels and the thrill of the final steep drop.

"The models inside are very realistic, and occasionally top-notch cosplayers will appear. It's a sight you can't see at other anime conventions."

Hearing Hachiman's praise, Goto Ichiri simply nodded obediently.

Although she is a gloomy homebody, she doesn't have much exposure to anime and manga, and her impression of Disney is limited to beautiful princesses like Snow White and Cinderella.

"Ah, but it drops all the way to the bottom at the end, just like a regular roller coaster. Will Goto be alright?"

It's still unknown how well Goto Ichiri adapts to the elevation changes. Is it too daring for her to experience a waterfall mountain right away?

"No, it's nothing!"

For some reason, Goto Ichiri pounded his chest forcefully, as if trying to bolster his courage, and said, "I...I'll go to that place!"

"OK."
