Does gravity make me stronger?

Hachiman: Manager, the school has an urgent matter. Can you only assign me night shifts until next Friday?

Ijichi Hoshika: Yes

Aine leaned closer and asked in surprise, "Does Hachiman have to work this hard? I heard that student council work is quite tiring, and you even have to work part-time at night?"

"I didn't want to either..."

If you could just give up, who wouldn't want to?

If he also had a gravity value, the number above his head would probably be close to 90.

"Hachiman, this is for you." Takamatsu Akari took a can of pure milk out of her bag and placed it on Hachiman's table. "Here, have some. It's nutritious and tastes good. I'll drink it all tomorrow."

No wonder you're so big...

Hachiman glanced casually at Takamatsu Akari's chest and declined, saying, "No need, I usually drink more coffee."

“Hachiman…” Takamatsu Akari lowered her head in grievance, her tearful appearance making it impossible for her to refuse.

have to.

"Okay, how much is it? I'll give you the change."

"It doesn't cost any money."

"No, although I like being kept, I can't accept charity."

"Ugh, this is so troublesome..." Aine complained from the side, giving Hachiman a sidelong glance. "I'm starting to think that Hachiman is getting more and more difficult to deal with."

If it's too difficult, don't do it.

"..."

After a brief struggle, Hachiman finally accepted Takamatsu Akari's milk in exchange for MAX coffee.

"Ton ton ton~"

Seeing Hachiman drinking his milk with gusto, Takamatsu Akari shook her head happily like a little penguin.

"Burp~" A burp full of milky flavor came out of his stomach. After throwing away the bottle, Hachiman packed his schoolbag. "I'm going to the student council now. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

...

It must be said that the student council of Haneoka Academy is extremely luxurious.

Although it cannot compare to Shuchiin Academy in terms of its fundamentals, Haneoka Academy's school buildings are built to the highest standards, adhering to the principle of "losing in substance but not in appearance."

The nearly 100-square-meter office space further demonstrates the school's strong financial resources.

A dozen or so people gathered together, but it didn't feel crowded at all; on the contrary, it felt quite empty.

As soon as he entered the office, Hachiman was hit by the overwhelming smell of money.

At the far end of the office, there was a classic desk with a large stack of documents and a triangular plaque with the words "Student Council President" written in black calligraphy.

Even though he had been enrolled for several months, Hachiman still had only a vague understanding of the student council organization.

I've never even heard of the student council president.

Now, I have finally seen the president's true face.

"Hello everyone, I am Ochako Takeshi, the student council president of Haneoka Academy."

A slightly thin girl introduced herself, and her name reminded Hachiman of the girl he had met last month.

Hua and Zhu, these two must be sisters.

Hachiman looked at the girl behind the desk and couldn't help but make a connection.

Of course, this is not important.

"Next, I will assign each of you a group of guests. The vice president will give you the contact information of the people you are assigned to. Your job is to make contact in advance and convey our school's information to them. It's very simple."

It sounds like the volunteers are just acting as messengers between the two sides, and if that's all there is to it, then there's nothing difficult about it.

The problem is that the more work you do, the more you accumulate.

Do you think you're just a mouthpiece?

No, you're wrong. Actually, you're the omnipotentiary. Everything related to the cultural festival will be entrusted to you.

There might even be some unrelated things.

Do not believe?

Just wait and see.

Hachiman had prepared for the worst, and when the vice president handed him the list, he said softly, "Hachiman is from Chiba, right? He's from your hometown."

It sounds like a reward...

Hachiman picked up the list and started looking at it.

He was in charge of liaison matters with Haibin Comprehensive High School. This time, Haibin Comprehensive High School was sending three people: the president, the vice president, and the secretary.

There weren't many people, so it was acceptable.

Speaking of which, Haibin Comprehensive High School was one of his goals when he took the high school entrance exam.

Chiba has many good high schools that offer advanced education, with Sobu High School and Seaside Comprehensive High School being two of them.

Hachiman initially chose between these two schools, but by chance, he ended up at Haneoka Academy.

Are all encounters in this world just reunions after a long separation?

Seaside Comprehensive High School, please accept me! I don't want to study in Tokyo anymore!

Hachiman's inner turmoil could not be conveyed to anyone. After opening the list, Hachiman entered a chat group using the contact information provided.

Haneoka Academy volunteers have joined the group chat...

Yu Sheng (Vice President of Haibin Comprehensive High School): Welcome!

Yu Sheng: May I ask your name?

Hachiman: Just call me classmate.

Since it was only a short-term encounter, Hachiman didn't intend to reveal his real name.

Yu Sheng: Hello classmate, it's very happy to see you. Let's communicate properly.

What's wrong with this guy?

Hachiman's lips twitched involuntarily, a bad feeling creeping over him, but he continued typing.

Hachiman: I'll handle the rest of the arrangements with you.

Yu Sheng: Nice!

Since there was nothing important to discuss, Hachiman closed his phone after a brief chat.

That's all for today. We'll start giving you updates gradually from tomorrow. I hope everyone can give it their full attention.

Immediately afterwards, Ochako clapped her hands, announcing the end of the first day's arrangements.

Chapter 153, Page 150: Pochi-chan, your house is so big!

After school.

The Starlight Performance Hall is currently experiencing a lull in performances, perfect for relaxing and chatting.

Five Palu sat around a small table, with a cup of rock sugar pear soup in front of each Palu.

A heartless slave owner passed by, glanced at it briefly, then hurried past with his arms crossed, pretending not to see it.

"Want to play Connect Four?"

Five pieces won't do!

The social butterfly Kita took out a small mini chessboard and placed it on the table, and the group immediately became very enthusiastic.

Hachiman rested his chin on his hand, yawned, and clearly lost interest in this kind of brain-training game.

I feel guilty.

The other girls seemed to be having a lot of fun.

While the mullet was catching fish, someone suddenly brought up a topic.

Nijika: "Speaking of which, why did Hachiman-kun cancel all his early shifts? Is there some hidden reason?"

"No," Hachiman denied immediately.

"Oh, why is that? I'm curious!"

　You're so curious.

At first, Si didn't want to talk about it.

But after persistent persuasion from several people, he finally confessed everything that had happened that day.

When the four kids heard that Haneoka Academy, known for its strict school spirit, was actually inviting other schools to visit during the cultural festival, Kita and Nijika, the two E-level students, were immediately filled with envy.

"I wish our school's cultural festival could be this fun, right, Liang?"

"Yes."

Yamada Ryo, unusually, didn't disagree with Nijika and nodded obediently, but judging from her blank stare, she didn't seem to be listening attentively.

Upon hearing this, Kita said enthusiastically, "Ryo-senpai, our school is also holding a cultural festival in a few weeks. You can come and visit!"

"Sure, if you'd like to treat me to char siu bao, takoyaki, and yakisoba."

Hongxia: "Hey, don't try to take advantage of her..."

"It's alright, it's alright, as long as Senior Liang is happy."

"Kita-chan, you're spoiling Ryo too much. She'll become a cripple if this continues," Nijika sighed.

Under Kita's care these past few days, Yamada Ryo is increasingly showing signs of becoming a useless person.

"Oh, I wish we could go to Haneoka Academy's cultural festival too. I've never been to an all-girls school's cultural festival."

"It's not an all-girls school..."

Hachiman corrected him seriously, then picked up a cup of milk tea, tilted his head back, and chug it down, expressing his indignant opinion.

"And it's not good at all!"

"It was clearly a vanity project for the school, but in the end, the work was shifted to the students without any compensation."

"That despicable student council, all they know is to abuse their power and use us as cheap labor."

"Hmm, I can feel the resentment emanating from Hachiman Hikigaya..." Nijika leaned to the side.

After venting his anger, Hachiman felt much better.

"Forget it, as long as we can hold on for a week, that's fine. But you guys, have you set a date for your next performance yet?"

After yesterday's audition performance, the band was given the opportunity to perform on stage.

However, he didn't ask which day it was, and Ijichi Hoshika didn't say it either.

"It's settled." Goto Ichiri clutched a few tickets in her hand and asked timidly, "Speaking of which, is Hachiman's sister planning to come to Tokyo for a trip soon?"

"Oh, Komachi? She probably won't be coming, why do you ask?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Are you worried about not being able to sell the tickets?" Hachiman scrutinized the tickets in the other person's hand.

"Ah, um."

Hachiman rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you asked Chihaya-san yet? Does she have time to come over?"

"Aine-chan had something to do that day, so she couldn't come..."

After saying that, Goto Ichiri pitifully added, "Also, Akari and the others are busy. Oh no, I feel like we won't be able to sell any tickets. Maybe I should just pay for them myself."

Hearing Goto Ichiri's self-deprecating words, Nijika quickly stopped her, saying, "No, Pochi-chan, you can't keep going like this for long."

"But I really can't find any friends..."

"Things will work themselves out. If things really don't work out, I'll just borrow my friend, Pochi-chan!" Kita also came to comfort him.

There are many ways to sell tickets besides selling them to friends, but it is obvious that none of these methods are suitable for Goto Ichiri.
