Does gravity make me stronger?

"?"

"It's been at least two or three months since you arrived at Haneoka Academy, but where are you? Forget about a wife, I haven't even seen a trace of a girlfriend."

Looking at the pained expression on Hachiman's father's face, it seemed as if he was saying: My son, I am very worried about you!

"Tell me the truth, you're not... gay, are you?"

Hachiman shrugged and quickly explained, "No, my orientation is perfectly normal!"

But I always feel it's a bit difficult to explain this to my parents...

"Then why, after staying at an all-girls school for so long, do you still not have a girlfriend?"

"Oh, this."

"Actually, it's not like Onii-chan didn't do anything at all."

At this moment, Komachi, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

This timing was perfect, and it immediately garnered significant attention from Hachiman's parents.

"Komachi, are you serious?"

"Mmm-hmm." Komachi said with a grin, "Actually, Onii-chan has already developed relationships with several older sisters, but he just hasn't told you guys yet."

"Oh?" Hachiman felt a bit overwhelmed when he saw his father looking at him with curiosity.

"Just friends."

"Flying!"

Hachiman's father seemed particularly agitated, "You little rascal, waaaaah, if this keeps up, we'll have no choice but to find a son-in-law who will marry into our family!"

"Damn!"

Upon hearing this, Hachiman immediately became anxious.

Regarding the matter of whether or not to have a son-in-law marry into the family, Hachiman argued his case and finally dissuaded his parents from arranging a marriage for Komachi.

However, the topic quickly returned to the question of how to solve the problem of accommodation for the night.

"You can sleep at home tonight and go back tomorrow. The rest is up to you!"

Hachiman's parents made the decision simultaneously, and this strange family meeting came to an end.

That night, Hachiman lay on his bed, lost in thought.

I can't stay in this house any longer.

He seriously doubted that his status had become as lowly as that of Xiaoqiang in his family.

"Dong dong!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Komachi pushed it open, holding a strange-looking ticket in her hand.

"Here you go, Onii-chan."

Komachi handed over the strange ticket.

Hachiman looked at the ticket with great curiosity.

Two-day, one-night voucher for Chiba Health Resort Hotel?

[Cao, is the one-night-two-day trip coming soon?]

Suddenly, the system's excited voice rang in my mind.

Chapter 167, Section 164: Su Shi & Xiang Zi: Chiba Will Not Have Her

"What is this?" After a brief moment of surprise, Hachiman looked up and cast a puzzled glance at Komachi.

"Onii-chan, these are travel vouchers from Mom and Dad. They're in Nishi-Chiba. You can stay there tomorrow," Komachi explained with an awkward cough.

"Hey?"

She added, "Well, they're not really that heartless. They can't possibly make you sleep under a bridge, right?"

So did they really consider making me sleep under a bridge...?

They have a room available, but they insist on spending money to stay in a hotel. This is not something my parents would do.

Moreover, Komachi's expression was somewhat suspicious.

Hachiman carefully examined the two-day, one-night hotel package in his hand, then looked at Komachi and asked again, "This really was given to me by my parents, and you didn't buy it yourself?"

"I don't have that much money!"

Seeing that Hachiman didn't believe her, Komachi deliberately raised her voice and said, "Onii-chan, you can check it out online. That hotel is incredibly expensive, and it even has its own hot spring spa. It's amazing!"

So, Hachiman actually went online to search for it, and after seeing the hotel's price list, he almost dropped his phone on the ground.

A single-day price of 10 yen?!

"Komachi, you—no, your parents—have they gone mad?!"

Hachiman's Adam's apple bobbed, and his breathing grew heavy. "How could they bear to spend money on such an expensive hotel?"

First of all, it should be noted that the Hikigaya family is not poor because they are a dual-income family.

The Hakiya family occasionally travels to places like Hokkaido and Osaka, staying in inexpensive chain hotels.

As for ultra-luxury hotels like this, I wouldn't even dare to glance at them.

In his mind, only truly successful people could afford to stay in such hotels.

Komachi: "That's because Onii-chan has been in Tokyo for the past few months and he's seen how hard you've been working."

Hachiman: "I'm not used to staying in such a nice hotel. How about we put this package online and sell it to recoup some of the money?"

"you..."

Komachi seemed to choke, remaining silent for a long time. "No, you have to go. If you don't go, Komachi won't talk to you anymore!"

"?"

Is this child hiding something from me?

Hachiman squinted, unconsciously preparing to open his heart and hear what his younger sister was really up to.

No, let's just use memory to read it directly.

In terms of gathering information, memory reading is more direct than thoughts, making it a truly incisive and effective technique!

Of course, the conditions for initiating it are also a bit demanding, requiring a period of physical contact with the other party.

But it's Komachi, how could she not let me touch her?

Hachiman naturally thought to himself, and silently reached out his right hand toward Komachi.

With a "smack," her hand was slapped away, and Komachi's expression suddenly turned cold: "What are you doing, Onii-chan? Touching me like that feels a little disgusting..."

"Hey, Komachi, Onii-chan just wanted to get closer to you," Hachiman explained immediately.

"No way! It's disgusting that my older brother is holding hands with his sister even though he's a high school student..."

With a thud, Hachiman felt as if he had been hit by several arrows in the back, and he was having trouble breathing.

"No, Komachi, let me explain."

Meanwhile, Komachi, her face dark with anger, had already left the room. Before leaving, she regained her usual energetic self: "Anyway, Onii-chan, you absolutely have to go tomorrow, okay? That's all!"

The door closed hastily, leaving Hachiman bewildered on the bed.

...

In Komachi's room.

The girl changed into loose pajamas, lay barefoot on the bed, and her fair fingers tapped incessantly on the phone screen.

Komachi: Reporting to Suze-neechan, Komachi has captured the enemy fortress!

Nagasaki Motoyo: Thank you, Komachi-chan. I'm already packing my bags!

After receiving the reply, Komachi couldn't stop smiling.

This 10 yen hotel package was indeed paid for by Hikigaya's older sister, not by his parents.

Hey?

You're asking who Hachiman is?

Of course it's Motoyo Hikigaya!

However, considering the family's circumstances, Onii-chan might marry into the family, and then he'll be called Nagasaki Hachiman?

Komachi's mind was filled with random thoughts.

"But Onii-chan, really, the girl has already come to your door, and you're still smelling bad in your room. That's so lame."

The thought of Nagasaki Motoyo coming to Chiba alone for love, while her own brother was playing video games in his room, made her feel that Hachiman was like a flying bird in comparison.

"Well, what can I do? He's my onii-chan."

Komachi happily wiggled her toes and continued typing.

Komachi: Then, Su-se-neechan, is there anything else Komachi needs to prepare?

Komachi: When are you planning to have children? Komachi wants to be an aunt!

In Tokyo, Nagasaki Motoyo blushed upon seeing these messages.

"Komachi-chan is really something."

She chuckled and muttered a complaint as she put her luggage into her suitcase, replying on her phone.

Nagasaki Motoyo: Komachi, are you sure you don't need to come along? Actually, I can get another ticket.

Komachi: No need, Komachi and her friends have their own plans.

Given Komachi's emotional intelligence, it's highly unlikely she would act as such an obvious third wheel.

Nagasaki Motoyo: Okay then, thank you so much, Komachi-chan!

Komachi: It's okay!

"What a lovely and sensible little sister," Nagasaki Motoyo thought to herself.

After packing all her luggage, Nagasaki Motoyo heard the sound of the front door being opened, and the next moment, her mother's tired groans came from the living room.

"Su Shi~"

"Mother?"

She greeted him with a smile as Su Shi's mother, dressed in a professional suit, lay sprawled on the sofa, completely unseemly.

"If you want to rest, go take a shower first. Do you need me to prepare something to eat for you?"

"Uh-huh."

Su Shi's mother responded, glancing towards Su Shi's room, and asked curiously, "Su Shi, are you going out tomorrow? Why didn't you tell your mother?"

"I already told you on my phone, Mom."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Su Shi's mother scratched her head awkwardly. "Was it with a classmate?"

"Hmm...yes." Nagasaki Motoyo hesitated for a moment, then decided to keep her trip to Chiba a secret.

Unexpectedly, Su Shi's mother's eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice, saying, "Oh, really?"

"Yes, Mom, let me help you to your room first."

"I'll go with Hachiman, won't I?"

"!"

Nagasaki Motoyo's shoulders twitched, but she calmly maintained her smile: "No, it's not that. I'm going back to my hometown of Chiba for Golden Week."

"What?! Su Shi, you're actually going to chase after Chiba!"

"mom!"

Nagasaki Motoyo frowned.

"Waaaaah, Su Shi doesn't love me anymore. She ran off with another man."
