Does gravity make me stronger?

I had just started eating when I received a text message from Komachi.

Komachi: Onii-chan, do you want to hear good news or bad news?

Hachiman: Onii-chan only wants to hear good news, can I not hear the bad news?

Komachi: Dame

Hachiman: Then let me hear the bad news first.

Komachi: The bad news is, Onii-chan is going back to Tokyo tomorrow!

"???"

When Hachiman first received the news that the train had been cancelled, he relayed it to Komachi, but he never expected that the latter would mock him.

So hateful!

Hachiman: And the good news? (Shu)

Komachi: Whew, the good news is that Mom and Dad agreed to let Onii-chan come home for a day, but only if he brings Motoyo-neechan back with him.

Hachiman: Komachi, Onii-chan hasn't settled the bill with you for the hotel yet!

Komachi: Oh dear, Komachi did it all for Onii-chan's own good. If it weren't for Komachi's help, how could Onii-chan have agreed to stay at a hotel?

Hachiman:...

Hachiman: Let's skip bringing Suze back. I really can't do that. It's enough that I come back.

Komachi: So, Onii-chan, are you planning to leave Motoyo-neechan alone in a hotel? Zero

Hachiman: No, the current situation is a bit complicated.

Komachi:? ? ?

At this point, Hachiman glanced at the girls sitting on either side of him.

If Su Shi were to live with him at home, what would happen to Xiangzi?

[Let's just take them all back with us!]

Do you want me dead?

【No, if you bring one girl home, she's your girlfriend; if you bring two, they're just ordinary friends, right?】

Your parents definitely won't misunderstand.

Is it possible that he is in trouble?

Hearing the suggestion from the leader, Hachiman was actually a little tempted... what a joke!

If you want him dead, just say so; there's no need for all this beating around the bush.

After much deliberation, Hachiman decided to give up the opportunity to go home and stay at a hotel with Suze and the others that night.

However, this time we need to lock the door tonight to prevent the female hooligan from sneaking in again in the dark.

Hachiman continued eating, but for some reason, Nagasaki Motoyo put down her chopsticks and suddenly said, "Hachiman, now that we're in Chiba, why don't you take us to see Komachi?"

"Komachi?" He tilted his head in surprise.

“She’s my sister,” Hachiman explained, then shook his head at Nagasaki Motoyo. “Komachi made plans to go out with her friends today, so she’ll probably be busy.”

“No.” Nagasaki Motoyo held her phone. “Komachi told me that she’s home today and can come out anytime. Of course, you’re welcome to come home, Hachiman.”

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this unexpected answer, Hachiman instantly understood.

These two colluded and did the same thing!

"Furthermore, Komachi said that she could invite Shoko-chan to come and play together."

"I?"

Xiangzi, who had originally planned to continue the cold war, looked at Su Shi in confusion: "Su Shi, did you say something to Hikigaya's sister? Let me make this clear beforehand, I won't give you any more opportunities."

"I'm so nervous, Xiangzi-chan. A lady should be more relaxed."

A 'well' sign appeared on Xiangzi's forehead.

But thanks to the good education she had received over the past decade, she suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for reminding me, I am very calm now."

"Do you want to go see Komachi together?"

It sounds as if Nagasaki Motoyo was the one inviting her. Komachi isn't your sister!

Shoko was quite annoyed by Nagasaki Motoyo's arrogant attitude, but she still agreed because she thought about the opportunity to meet Hachiman's younger sister.

"No, didn't you two ask for my opinion?" Hachiman.

"Does Hachiman not want to take us to see Komachi?" Nagasaki Motoyo maintained her smile.

"Seeing Komachi is of course no problem."

"What's the matter?"

Hachiman and Nagasaki Motoyo exchanged a glance.

This guy is definitely not as simple-minded as he seems; he must have planned this out before contacting Komachi.

But the problem is that Hachiman's Achilles' heel has been exploited.

"I understand. I'll take you to my house after lunch."

Xiangzi & Su Shi: "Okay!"

...

During Golden Week, Hikigaya's parents are still at work and are expected to arrive home around 6 p.m.

It takes about an hour to get here from the health resort in Nishichiba. Including the time spent having lunch along the way, it was already around 2 p.m. when Hachiman and the others arrived.

As soon as I unlocked the door, Komachi's adorable face was already waiting at the entrance.

"Wait, wait, wait! Welcome back, Onii-chan! And welcome back, and to my two older sisters too!"

Before arriving home, Hachiman had already given Komachi a heads-up, informing her that in addition to Nagasaki Motoyo, another friend would be coming along.

Komachi is also the kind of person who's very outgoing, so there's no worry that she'll feel uncomfortable.

But I didn't expect the child to be so enthusiastic.

"Komachi, it's been a long time!"

"Hello Komachi, I'm Toyokawa Shoko, a classmate of Hikigaya-san."

Nagasaki Motoyo greeted him with a smile, while Shoko seemed a little reserved.

Well, it's just a short meeting, so relax.

"Yes, hello Sister Xiangzi!"

As she spoke, Komachi took out two pairs of women's slippers.

Hachiman glanced around and, noticing that his slippers weren't in the entryway, asked in confusion, "Komachi, where are Onii-chan's slippers?"

"Onii-chan, just walk barefoot."

"Komachi, you'll make Onii-chan very sad if you say that."

"Oh..."

Komachi gave a faint reply, her gaze completely captivated by Nagasaki Motoyo and Shoko: "Speaking of which, both of you are so beautiful. I wish I could become Komachi's sister-in-law."

"Hey, don't just throw me off the marriage like that!"

"Pfft." Xiangzi covered her mouth and chuckled, probably not expecting Komachi to be so lively.

Nagasaki Motoyo, on the other hand, seemed to have gotten much more comfortable with this. It appears that since the two parted ways in Tokyo, their relationship has deepened through their Line chats.

"Komachi, sorry to bother you. Since we came at the last minute, we didn't prepare any gifts."

"It's alright, Komachi doesn't mind!" Komachi waved with a smile.

Then, she led the two girls toward Hachiman's room on her own: "Shoko-neechan, Sosei-neechan, I'll show you around Onii-chan's room."

"My room isn't a tourist attraction!" Hachiman said listlessly as he followed the three girls upstairs.

After Zero entered the room, both Shoko and Suze looked around Hachiman's room with great curiosity. A few seconds later, Suze suddenly bent down and looked under the bed.

"Oh, the area under the Hachiman bed is very clean."

'I thought Hachiman would put Se-se's book under the bed, but I didn't expect him to hide it so well.'

Hey, who reads physical books these days?!

[The anchor is a reformist, you know?]

【Please send me a mysterious code, thank you】

Come on, my foot!

With his hands in his pockets, Hachiman looked completely at ease: "Thank you for the compliment."

Just then, Komachi suddenly leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Um, Onii-chan, just so you know, Mom came in to clean your room a while ago and put the things you kept in the box under the bed."

"?!"

Hachiman quickly bent down and, sure enough, found a gray box placed in the corner under the bed.

Coincidentally, Su Shi also saw it.

"Hachiman, who's that inside?"

"Haha, that's one of my childhood collectibles, nothing special."

The group exchanged knowing glances and didn't press the matter further.

As the saying goes, a nerdy guy has a wall of furniture and an apartment in the city, but because he had very little pocket money during junior high school, Hachiman's room had almost no decent decorations, and he didn't even have any dolls or figurines.

Overall, it was very deserted.

But that's what he likes.

Although there were no decorations, the room had quite a few books, such as "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute!" and "Eromanga Sensei"...

What? Someone asked why all of these are works about siscon (sister complex)?

Isn't there also "The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!"?

[Sister complex is disgusting...]

snort!

"Hachiman, you have so many books at home, may I look at them?"

"Of course!"

After obtaining Hachiman's consent, Shoko happily searched through the bookshelf. She took a liking to a copy of "Wuthering Heights" and was about to pull it out when another booklet suddenly rolled to the ground.

"Excuse me!"

Xiangzi hurriedly went to pick it up, but the next moment he froze on the spot.

Hachiman followed Shoko's gaze and saw that small black booklet looked strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...

Wait!

He remembered that it was the culmination of his chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) period, commonly known as the Dark History Notebook.

Chapter 178-175 The Hachiman family reunites?

Gentlemen, I'm sure you all have your own truly terrible moments.

For example, if you overhear two girls at the next table chatting endlessly about the weather, and you join in out of boredom, you'll only get a barrage of disapproval.

For example, you are walking quietly down a corridor when you suddenly hear someone behind you call out "Wait a minute!" But when you turn around expectantly, you find that it was someone else who called.

But it's okay, this is the price I pay for my sealed right hand.

In my right hand resides the most powerful energy in the world, the Crimson Flame Dragon.

Some people may ask, why did I seal Him away?

Because I haven't fully mastered this power yet, if it gets out of control, the Crimson Flame Dragon will destroy everything around it.

But it's alright, I will master the power when I'm young, and then break the seal when I'm even younger.
