Does gravity make me stronger?

"Ah."

Hachiman quickly averted his gaze.

"Wait a moment."

As he spoke, the faint sound of water rang in his ears, and Hachiman tried his best not to let his attention be drawn to the damned sound of water.

But my eyes will always drift in the direction of the sound without me even realizing it.

Su Shi took off her bath towel, revealing her beautiful figure. Although the moisture made it less clear, the outline was still enough to arouse fantasies.

Teeth that are white are absolutely terrifying.

A minute or two later.

The sound of water stopped.

Footsteps sounded.

Is the water temperature still suitable?

"Fortunately."

Hachiman answered, his mouth moving as he curled up into a ball.

No way, sister, how can you be so calm?

Thinking this, Hachiman cast a glance at Suze to check on her condition.

Then, they saw the girl's cheeks, which were so red they looked like they could drip blood, and her eyes that kept darting away.

Oh, so you're shy too. That puts his mind at ease.

At that moment, Suze suddenly stretched out her hands and covered Hachiman's eyes: "Don't look..."

"Oh, um."

Hachiman nodded obediently.

But even though I say I don't look, I've actually seen almost everything that's visible.

"Phew, um, Hachiman..."

"Ok?"

With a gentle voice, the water around them was parted, and Suze plunged into the hot spring, right next to Hachiman's body.

For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was body temperature or water temperature.

"It's really hot."

She held on for only a second before Su Shi climbed out of the hot spring.

"Pfft, how could someone come in all at once?"

"Don't laugh!"

Su Shi pouted and complained, then slowly got used to it, starting from her feet.

For a full five minutes, Su Shicai immersed his entire body in the hot spring.

She let out a long breath, relaxed completely, and then leaned slightly towards Hachiman: "Once you get used to it, it feels great."

"Oh."

Hachiman replied stiffly.

Despite the protection of the bath towel, the bolder contact than ever before still excited him.

"Your body is shaking?"

"Isn't this all your fault?"

"Who told you to laugh just now?"

"cut."

Hachiman clicked his tongue in amazement, while Sosei smiled contentedly: "Don't worry, I can't do anything right now, and look, the towel is wrapped around my neck properly."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman finally lowered his guard a little. Just as he was about to shift his gaze, the girl suddenly untied her bath towel, revealing a fleeting glimpse of pale pink.

Hachiman quickly turned his head.

"Hey!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't tie the knot properly just now. I'd like to re-tie it."

Su Shi, her hands clasped in knots, wore a mischievous smile: "Don't worry, there won't be any problems this time."

"Ah."

Hachiman slowly straightened his gaze, and this time, Su Shi finally stopped being mischievous: "If Xiangzi could be here too, that would be great."

“Indeed, if Xiangzi were here, she would definitely have stopped you from doing what you just did,” Hachiman joked.

"what?"

Su Shi pouted and said reproachfully, "If Xiangzi were here, you would have been..."

"By what?"

"nothing."

After a moment of silence, Suze's voice suddenly trembled slightly: "Hachiman, do you think my feelings are too heavy?"

"Really? Are you alright?"

"Be serious." Suze cast a reproachful glance his way, but Hachiman said even more seriously, "It's really not that bad. If we're talking about something heavy, it's Akari who's really the one who's burdened."

"Ah, indeed."

Su Shi gave a wry smile: "When it comes to the weight of emotions, no one can compare to her, but that's not what I meant. I meant that she deliberately approached you at first for Xiangzi's sake, and in the end, she resorted to any means necessary..."

"Hasn't this issue already been discussed? Why bring it up now? Do you want me to say something unpleasant?"

Thinking about the past, Hachiman scratched his cheek in frustration.

Su Shi shook her head: "No, I just wanted to say something."

"If we have to talk about it, let's talk about the future."

"What's the point of talking about the future?"

Su Shi leaned her entire weight on Hachiman's shoulder, gazed at the star-filled sky, and said thoughtfully, "In the future, how many children should we have?"

"..."

"Just kidding, one for me and one for Xiangzi is enough."

Seeing that Hachiman remained silent, Suze couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, did you ask Xiangzi for his opinion?"

"Not yet, but Xiangzi is so busy, he probably won't have many children. But once they're born, I'll take responsibility and help Xiangzi raise them!"

In Su Shi's mind, there was a scene of herself taking her and Xiangzi's child to school alone.

An inexplicable feeling of happiness welled up inside her, and she almost fainted from joy.

"Hey, Su Shi, are you out of your mind? You look a little pale."

Hachiman looked at her with concern: "It's almost time, shall we go out?"

It seems that Su Shi is completely intolerant of high temperatures; I'll have to cook it at a low temperature from now on...

Su Shi gazed at Hachiman with a dazed expression and softly asked, "Hachiman, could you please stand up for a moment?"

"Okay, but am I the only one here?"

Although he didn't know what Suze was going to do, Hachiman still stood up with a bath towel on his back as she asked.

Then she stood up herself and sat back down in the spring with Hachiman.

"???"

"Phew, I feel much better."

Su Shi exhaled a breath of stale air.

"No, it's okay if you can't stand it. The water here is indeed a bit hot."

"no!"

"but..."

"I said no, and that's final!"

Seeing that Su Shi insisted, Hachiman could only go along with her: "Alright then, soak a little longer."

The two returned to their previous state of cuddling, and it's unclear how much time passed.

"Hey, Hachiman, I have a request for you, is that alright?"

Hachiman glanced at her and nodded: "Okay."

"My request is that for the next five minutes, you cannot refuse my request or say no."

"No, I don't know anything..."

"Um--"

Su Shi frowned her handsome brows and pouted, and Hachiman immediately shut up.

"Then sit up there."

"You still say you're not hot?"

Hachiman gave a wry smile, pushed off with his feet, and reached the edge of the hot spring, where the water level was just up to his knees.

Su Shi shifted slightly, crouching down to stand directly in front of Hachiman, so that the two were now in a position with one above the other and one in front of the other.

A fascinated smile appeared on her face. She pursed her lips, her slightly moist face carrying a hint of allure.

"Xiangzi's progress is a bit too slow, so I can't be too anxious."

Tucking her damp hair behind her ear, Su Shi slowly leaned forward and opened her lips: "But, even a little bit should be enough to provoke Xiangzi."

As if he had thought of something, Hachiman suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

"It hasn't been five minutes yet."

Su Shi raised her index finger, stopping the boy in front of her who wanted to escape.

Then, taking the opportunity, she untied the towel wrapped around her waist, looked up and met Hachiman's astonished gaze, and stuck out her tongue.

Chapter 270, Section 267: Xiangzi Enters Goose City

at the same time.

After leaving the hot spring, Goto Ichiri went straight back to her room, covered her head with a pillow, and kept replaying what had just happened in her mind.

She clearly chose a time when no one was around to go in, but a few minutes later, Hachiman came in.

Although there were unavoidable circumstances, in the end, she was seen naked.

Although that person is Hachiman, according to the older generation, she is completely unmarriageable!

However, Goto Ichiri wasn't disappointed at all; instead, she felt somewhat relieved: "Thank goodness it was Hachiman-kun..."

With a slight smile playing on his lips, Goto Ichiri, sensing this, frantically shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts.

"No, no, what am I saying? I can't think about these things. I should take out my guitar and practice..."

He patted his cheeks, leaving two bright red handprints, and Goto Ichiri cheered himself up again.

Goto Ichiri took the guitar out of his bag. Although the room was well soundproofed, he was still hesitant to play freely. He simply went through the chords a few times and then put the guitar back.

She tilted her head back, gazing at the tiny stains on the ceiling: "What is Hachiman doing right now?"

...

Wearing a yukata and leaning against the wall, Hachiman slowly returned to his room.

It's definitely not because he couldn't get back up after just one battle. At his age, it's normal for him to revive several times a day.

just.
