Does gravity make me stronger?

The two headed towards Waterfall Mountain.

The amusement park had not yet reached its peak visitor count, so the queue was shorter than expected. In just thirty minutes, they arrived at the front of the line.

"Excuse me, sir/madam, are you together?"

Under the warm gaze of the staff, Hachiman took a step toward Goto Ichiri: "Yes, we're together."

"In that case, please wait here for a moment."

While waiting, the staff, with their pleasant smiles, explained the safety precautions to Hachiman and Goto Ichiri.

After standing on the platform at the edge for a while, a small, dark blue iron boat came towards us. Because it was secured with rails, the boat was very stable and did not even sway slightly.

It looks perfectly safe.

Hachiman and Goto Ichiri boarded the empty iron ship one after the other.

As soon as he sat down, his legs wobbled for a while, and Goto Ichiri gripped the armrest tightly as the gravity above his head rapidly increased.

"Goto-kun."

"exist!"

"If you can't adapt, it's not too late to give up now."

It's not that I'm trying to spoil Goto Ichiri's mood, but is it really okay to be so nervous?

Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri loosened his pale fingers slightly and quickly said, "No... I'm not uncomfortable at all. This is a piece of cake. I used to sit here all the time when I was a kid."

It was obviously nonsense, but Hachiman didn't call him out on the spot: "Really? There's no going back once we set off."

"No, it's nothing."

Goto Ichiri bit her lip, glancing at Hachiman out of the corner of her eye, and said with a tearful expression, "Besides, Hikigaya-kun is here, so I'm not afraid."

Hmm, 100% lethal!

"Click".

Something must have been pressed somewhere, because the small boat began to slowly accelerate and move away from the platform.

Have a safe journey.

The staff members stood on the platform waving their little hands.

Wait a minute, why does this sentence feel like a flag?

Hachiman chuckled dryly and awkwardly looked away.

The small boat carrying the two people slowly sailed away from the "harbor" and plunged into the quiet passageway.

Waves parted on both sides of the boat as it moved forward, and the originally narrow passage began to widen, with LED lights casting warm glows all around.

Famous theme songs played in the background, and familiar cartoon characters were everywhere on both sides of the long corridor. Some were just machine models, while others were staff members dressed in mascot costumes.

Regardless of the type, they are all very exquisite in appearance, and they don't seem strange at all. In fact, the enclosed environment creates a special sense of immersion.

As expected of Disney!

"I feel very relaxed."

Goto Ichiri looked around curiously, having already forgotten her earlier anxiety. Hachiman whispered, "There will be a hill to climb later, and then a drop. Once you get through that, it'll be fine."

"Down, falling?"

Goto Ichiri's eyes widened suddenly: "Me... are we going to die? I don't want to die yet..."

"Why do you think I'm going to die?" Mimicking Nijika's complaining tone, she gave Goto Ichiri a soft chop to the head: "Don't worry, it's safe here. At most, you'll just feel a little weightless."

"Ah, that's good."

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief, but his hands remained firmly gripping the railing that was fixed to his legs.

As time went by, the cartoon characters around the passage gradually decreased, and the passage gradually closed in.

The sound of rushing water could be faintly heard from not far away.

"Splash—"

I heard the sound of the waterfall.

Incidentally, although the project is surrounded by water, surprisingly, you don't get wet after each "fly" down the mountain.

"Click!"

The clicking sound of the parts rang out again.

As the track gradually tilted upwards, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly pleaded, "Um, Hachiman-kun, is it still possible to get off now?"

"I'm sorry, we've lost our last chance."

Hachiman sighed deeply with grief.

The next second, Goto Ichiri approached at the speed of light, his shoulder close to hers, and a slight tremor came from his arm.

"Being able to be with Hachiman before I die...that's...enough..."

What is this child saying?!

Suppressing the embarrassment rising from his abdomen, Hachiman mumbled incoherently, "Idiot, what are you talking about? I told you it's safe!"

"But falling is really scary!"

"Didn't you say there was no problem?"

"I'm sorry, that was all a lie!"

At that moment, the outdoor scenery came into view, with Disney's proud, comic book-like castle standing before them.

In that instant, the fear in Goto Ichiri's mind seemed to dissipate.

"so beautiful!"

But it only lasted for a moment.

With the bow of the ship raised high, Goto Ichiri, who was located right next to the cliff, saw a terrifyingly large drop ahead.

"H...Hikigaya-san!"

This time, it wasn't just touching; Goto Ichiri reached out with both hands.

"Wait a minute, you need to grab the handrail now!"

"Waaah, I can't do it!"

With his eyes closed, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt the small boat pause for a second at its highest point.

then.

It suddenly swooped down.

"ah!!!"

The girl's scream echoed throughout the entire waterfall mountain.

At the foot of Mount Waterfall, on a roadside bench, the gray-haired Goto Ichiri leaned against the back of the chair like a piece of paper, tiny ghosts constantly floating out of his mouth and drifting in the air.

Imagining this scene, Hachiman guiltily took a bottle of mineral water and walked back from the nearby shopping kiosk.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made you sit here."

"I have no regrets about dying now, hehehe."

The paper-thin Goto Ichiri laughed miserably, and after a while he regained some of his strength and started drinking a lot of mineral water.

After finishing her drink, the girl wiped the water droplets from her mouth and glanced at Hachiman from time to time: "Um, Hachiman, sorry, you probably haven't had enough fun yet."

Hachiman measured the distance to the chair, and a few seconds later, sat down about a fist's width from Goto Ichiri.

"No, that's enough. One experience with this project is enough."

"Are you sure you don't need to come again?"

Are you a masochist?

"Well!"

Goto Ichiri shook his head repeatedly.

Hachiman chuckled, "That's good then. There are still many activities waiting for us. After resting for a bit, let's find something more relaxing to do."

"it is good."

"By the way, these are photos I took on the mountain above the waterfall. I bought a copy without your permission, I'm sorry."

Hachiman scratched his nose and placed a photograph into Goto Ichiri's hand.

"This is..."

Looking down, there were only two figures in the photo.

The girl panicked and clung to the boy beside her, while the boy held onto the handrail with one hand and gently hugged the girl back with the other.

A heartwarming yet slightly shy feeling spread from my abdomen all the way to my face.

"Thank you... I'll keep this photo safe."

Quietly, Goto Ichiri held the photo to his chest and made this vow.

After the waterfall, the two tried some relaxing rides like the coffee tea cups. Because of the long queues, they didn't play for long before it was noon.

Around noon, Hachiman planned to find something to eat, rest for a while, and wait for Shoko and the others who had already set off.

The two had only taken a few steps when they made eye contact with a girl with short gray hair in the crowd.

"lamp?"

"Dengjiang?"

"Hachiman, and Pochi-chan?"

Takamatsu Akari, wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt and a black mini-skirt, immediately jogged over upon seeing the two, her eyes brimming with undisguised excitement.

"You're here too, that's great!"

The girl's overjoyed heart made the two of them forget their morning fatigue in an instant.

Hachiman: "You too, what are you doing here? Are you out hanging out with friends?"

It's reasonable for Takamatsu Akari's family to come to Disneyland during the summer vacation since they live in Tokyo. But why haven't I heard about this in the group chat?

Hearing this, Gao Songdeng pursed his lips and looked at his toes with some dejection: "I'm the only one who came today."

"Hey?"

"I also invited Aine and the others, but none of them had time, and there was no one else who could come with me. But the tickets were about to expire, so I ended up going alone."

The lamp's head drooped low, and his weak voice was quite heartbreaking.

So this child came to Disneyland alone?

"Tokyo...Tokyo-chan, would you like to come with us?" Goto Ichiri suggested sympathetically, but the next second, she realized that she might have said the wrong thing.

Obviously, having the lamp with them would disrupt the rest of the plan, but leaving the lamp alone to wander around the amusement park was not an option from the start.

Hachiman: "Toki, come with us."

"I'm sorry, I have something to do this afternoon, so I can't join you all."

Takamatsu declined the invitation.

Although she was reluctant to leave, she had to return to Tokyo. But no matter what, meeting Hachiman and Goto Ichiri here was something to be happy about.

"Speaking of which, why are Pochi-chan and Hachiman here?"

“Um, that…” Goto Ichiri turned his head stiffly, muttering some indistinct words.

At this point, Hachiman took the initiative to confess: "Akatsuki, actually, Goto and I are already dating."

Upon hearing this, Gao Songdeng was taken aback for a moment, then tilted his head: "Dating?"

Wait a minute, should we start the explanation from this level?

Hachiman ruffled his bangs and explained shyly, "It means boyfriend and girlfriend."

"I know."

"Hey, why was that light off just now?"
