Does gravity make me stronger?

Before she could finish speaking, Nagasaki Motoyo impatiently retorted, "Wait a minute, that's impossible, the time hasn't come yet."

If the performance ends, how can we talk about returning to the band? At that time, the reason for getting close to Hachiman will also vanish.

Her idea of ​​using the band and her newly made decision will become a huge joke.

"Just kidding, the show was moved to the very end."

Seeing Nagasaki Motoyo's absent-minded appearance, Shoko's eyes flickered slightly, and his deep voice seemed to come from near and far with the accompaniment of the band.

“That’s great…” Nagasaki Motoyo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Shoko with displeasure, her tone full of reproach, “Shoko, how could you do this? You almost scared me to death.”

I'd be so scared...

Xiangzi thought to himself with a cold face.

"You said you wouldn't give Hachiman to me, right?"

"..."

"Or was that just something you said in anger?"

"no!"

Nagasaki Motoyo composed herself and said with a firm gaze, "I... like Hachiman-kun."

"Is that all the level of liking you is?"

What do you mean by "this level"...?

Nagasaki Motoyo gritted her teeth; this was the only point she couldn't back down on.

"I love it more than anyone else in the world!"

Almost as if she were shouting, Motoyo Nagasaki expressed the emotions in her heart.

But such shouts were like pebbles thrown into the ocean, quickly drowned out by the band's performance.

Seeing this, Xiangzi smiled with relief.

“Then I will stake everything on it to prove to you that I am more worthy of this relationship than you are.” Her gaze was sharp.

"Xiangzi, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Why should I tell you? Besides, you should make up with Hachiman first." Shoko sneered and turned to leave Fanxing.

Nagasaki Motoyo also watched Shoko leave indifferently, without uttering a single word to stop her.

Both of them knew that from this day forward, there would be no more good friends like Nagasaki Motoyo and Toyokawa Shoko.

Chapter 132, Section 130: The Heaviest Modern Band

"Next, please welcome the last band to the stage."

Backstage, Kita nervously read out the announcement while glancing at the four people preparing to go on stage.

"Has the girl you're waiting for arrived yet?"

Takamatsu gently shook his head in response.

Su Shi hasn't arrived yet...

"I see, then you..."

Kita hesitated before speaking. Going on stage without a bassist would be embarrassing, and she didn't want her friend's band to be ridiculed.

"We want to go on stage!" Gao Songdeng said resolutely.

"Okay, you guys can go up after the last band finishes their performance... Ganbatte!"

Kita clenched his fist to cheer them on.

"Hoo—" Ai Yin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and muttered to herself, "You must come back, you must come back, please."

"Aine..." Sensing her teammate's unease, Takamatsu Akari tenderly took her hand. "Don't worry, Hachiman will definitely bring Momo back."

"Hey, you're putting a lot of pressure on me."

Hachiman, standing in the corner, made a self-deprecating remark.

"Hachiman!" Aine crossed her arms and glared at him with displeasure, while the latter obediently hid behind the curtain and continued to observe the changes in the audience area.

Suddenly.

Hachiman's pupils contracted, and he whispered, "They're here."

"Where? Where?" Aine rushed over, but looking through the gap in the curtain, she couldn't see Nagasaki Motoyo at all.

“Right there,” Hachiman said, pointing to the furthest point.

"Really? I can't see it."

Ai Yin rubbed her eyes hard because the outside light was dim, making it difficult for her to see what was behind her.

After searching around without success, Aine returned to her original spot dejectedly: "Since Soyo arrived, why didn't she tell us?"

"Maybe he's just embarrassed."

Shiina Riki said coldly, but as soon as she said it, she suddenly looked in the direction of Takamatsu Akari, covered her mouth, and quickly changed her words: "I'll go and bring her back."

"Hey, Riki, you'd better not go." Aine was sweating profusely and quickly grabbed Shiina Tatsuki.

"What?" Shiina Tatsuki frowned.

No, that's not it...

At this moment, the musicians, who had finished singing all their songs, walked out down the stairs chatting and laughing.

Meanwhile, Aine winked at Hachiman: "Riki, the last band has stepped down, and we need to get ready to go on stage. Can we leave Soyo to Hikigaya-kun?"

"I understand." Hachiman nodded and prepared to bring Nagasaki Motoyo back.

however.

Gao Songdeng had already picked up the microphone and walked behind the curtain, her clear eyes showing no hesitation: "Aiyin, let's go on stage."

"Oh, but Soyo hasn't come yet." Aine looked at Takamatsu Akari in surprise as she climbed the stairs, while Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna smiled slightly and followed without hesitation.

"What are you guys planning to do?!"

Ai Yin stamped her foot, quickly straightened her collar, and hurriedly headed towards the stage.

...

A somewhat tired Kaguya Shinomiya stood offstage, gently rubbing her calves, which ached from standing for so long. When she looked up again, the brand-new band had already taken to the stage.

Finally, it's here.

Now taking the stage is Hachiman Hikigaya and the "heaviest band of modern times" that she recommends.

As the saying goes, in literature there is no first place, but in martial arts there is no second.

Under the extremely elite education of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya Shinomiya became familiar with all the famous musicals from a young age and had dealings with many master conductors, but no matter which orchestra she was in, she never claimed to be the "best".

Hachiman, on the other hand, claims to be "the heaviest modern ship" in its export, but who knows how much he's actually capable of?

Although the other party was likely boasting and self-promoting, these words still successfully aroused Kaguya Shinomiya's curiosity.

only.

"Hayasaka, do you know what exactly Hachiman meant by 'heavy'?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked.

"...I don't know." Hayasaka Ai shook her head, pretending not to know, but her mind was racing.

She's a seasoned surfing enthusiast.

The word "heavy" is a relatively recent one that has emerged on the internet, specifically referring to the particularly heavy emotions felt by certain individuals.

If we relay what she knows to Kaguya Shinomiya exactly as she says, it will inevitably provoke her resentment.

After all, how could an elite like Kaguya Shinomiya, who only cares about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting and listens to highbrow music every day, appreciate the beauty of "weight"?

Thinking about this, Hayasaka Ai felt a little strange again. Who would use such abstract words to recommend a band?

Could it be that Hikigaya has some special fetish?

Mostly yes.

Anyway, there's definitely going to be some fun to watch later.

Sensing that something extraordinary might happen next, Hayasaka Ai took precautions.

"However, I suggest that Kaguya-sama should not focus too much on the music itself. Sometimes enjoying the atmosphere is also part of experiencing the band."

Kaguya Shinomiya scoffed dismissively and immediately retorted, "That's just sophistry. What else is there to listen to if not for its musicality? If you want to see a performance, wouldn't it be better to go to the theater?"

"Kaguya-sama, you're too rigid, and you weren't really involved in the performance just now, were you?"

"..."

Kaguya Shinomiya sighed after being exposed.

Yes, she wouldn't listen at all.

Unlike traditional musicals or symphonies, under the booming subwoofers and constantly changing neon lights, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't calm down to appreciate the music itself.

To be honest, Kaguya Shinomiya could barely listen to the performance at the beginning.

But halfway through the performance, she couldn't take it anymore.

Some band members not only dressed in bizarre outfits, but their songs were also utterly devoid of any aesthetic appeal, making people drowsy. In addition, the subwoofers in her ears made her eardrums very uncomfortable.

Indeed, classical music suits her better.

The melodies that survive the test of time are undoubtedly classics among classics.

Kaguya Shinomiya doesn't demand that pop music be on par with classical music, but at least, could she put some effort into it and stop using such common, clichéd tunes all the time?

However, she also noticed that everyone else in the performance hall was enjoying themselves, some even dancing to the rhythm. Therefore, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't help but wonder if her expectations were too high.

No.

It is absolutely impossible.

The aesthetic sense cultivated by the Shinomiya family is undoubtedly excellent.

There's no need to like the same things as ordinary people; that only diminishes your own value.

If one of the two has to be wrong, then the one who is at fault must be those single-celled organisms who are constantly immersed in trashy music.

"Kaguya-sama, they've made their appearance."

The gentle voice in her ear pulled Kaguya Shinomiya back to reality.

Chapter 133, Section 131: Poetry Beyond the Boundaries

She watched intently as her favorite band took the stage, and after a moment, she frowned slightly.

"Lead vocalist, drummer, lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, why are there only four people? Where's the bassist?"

Although Kaguya Shinomiya is a complete novice in the band scene, she still knows a little bit of common sense.

Where can you find a band that's abandoned its bassist? Isn't that ridiculous?

Could it be that the man named Hachiman is playing a trick on her?

Thinking this, Kaguya Shinomiya hardened her fist.

"Hayasaka, give me that scammer's phone number."

"Young Miss, calm down."

"I'm calm, quick!"

Kaguya Shinomiya urged.

Just as Hayasaka Ai took out her phone, an unusual commotion suddenly erupted on the stage.

"Su Shi!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the lead singer named Takamatsu Akari actually jumped off the stage and walked step by step toward Shinomiya Kaguya.

"?!"

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes widened for a moment. Although she didn't know what had happened, she was already very dissatisfied and immediately assumed a defensive stance, preparing to counterattack.

however.

Takamatsu Akari calmly walked around her, reached out, and grabbed the girl hiding behind her.
