Gravity makes me stronger?

Chapter 47

"Then I'll leave first."Ochako Hana solemnly bid farewell to the two of them.

"Well, remember to contact me if anything happens."

Toyokawa Shoko waved her hand in a friendly manner, and then turned around. From just now, she has been worried about Hachiman's condition.

"Hikigaya-san, are you really okay?"She asked softly.

Hikigaya-san, is he injured somewhere?

The boys in the class often joke that as long as it is not a fatal injury, the blood bar will be full soon after taking a breath.

Toyokawa Shoko naturally knows This is a joke.

However, boys really care about face. As long as the injury is not serious enough to affect their actions, they will bear it with gritted teeth and don't want others to know.

But, I also hope you can rely on me....

At least you can talk to me about unhappy things, even if it's just used as a trash can to talk to, it doesn't matter.

"Ah, I'm really fine."

Hachiman met Toyokawa Shoko's concerned gaze, then quickly avoided it, and answered in a confused voice.

"But, after this incident, will it be difficult for you and those boys to get along?..."

"Maybe, but you don't have to worry about this, and you don't have to care about my feelings. I am alone, so it would be more comfortable to be alone."

Hachiman said it very calmly, but it was precisely because of this calmness that Toyokawa Shoko felt even more distressed.

She took a step forward and grabbed Hachiman's sleeve, with a very serious expression on her face:"...Hikigaya-san, can you please stop saying that in the future?"

She didn't know anything about the system. In her eyes, Hachiman just had a bad experience, and he kept silent after that, as if he had isolated himself from the whole world.

A boy named Hikigaya Hachiman, From beginning to end, I have been rejecting the care of others, and this is wrong....

"It doesn't matter, I don't have any friends anyway, and my family is not around either..."

This is a lie.

Even if Hachiman can deceive everyone, he cannot deceive himself, because he also longs for friends.

And this was the reason why he couldn't look directly into Toyokawa Shoko's eyes.

"I...Aren't Ochako-san and I your friends?"

"What should I say?..."

Hachiman didn't want to hit Toyokawa Shoko, but in his perception, he really didn't regard Toyokawa Shoko and Ochako Hana as friends.

The friend he wanted was the kind of friend with whom he could talk about everything, treat each other sincerely, and have a relationship without any flaws.

At the same time, it was a relationship that even he himself couldn't express.

Back to the present, Hachiman had to admit that Toyokawa Shoko cared about him a lot these days, but did she dare to say that she had never lied to him about anything?

Not possible.

In addition, he didn't actually confess everything to Toyokawa Shoko.

So, he said it casually but with a little guilt, and at the same time hoped that Toyokawa Shoko would retreat when he saw the difficulty.

He was not an excellent person and was not worthy of his concern.

"The kind of friends I want are lifelong, sincere relationships that can be understood without the need for words, and can always accompany each other and encourage each other."

"..."

After hearing these words, Toyokawa Shoko unexpectedly looked away, his face flushed.

Hey, wait a minute, in Hikigaya-san's mind, only lovers can be friends?

So if you want to be friends with Hikigaya-san, do you need to become a couple first?

"It's true that I can't do it now, but one thing I'm sure of...If Hikigaya-san is willing, I would like to try to be your friend..."

No, is this okay?

Probably because he didn't expect that the friendship between Toyokawa Shoko and himself was so profound, Hachiman looked at the other person blankly, thinking about the meaning of her words.

Does she mean that although she can't be sincere now, she will be able to do it gradually in the future?

Thinking of this, Hachiman suddenly realized what shameful words he had just said.

"that..."

"Well."

Both of them were a little red.

Although their minds were a little confused, Toyokawa Shoko still forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

"Hikigaya-san, I really don’t understand you well right now."

"I see."

Hachiman scratched his cheek in embarrassment and dug his toes into the ground.

"So you don’t have to force yourself to be friends with me, just keep a little distance."

"No, I mean, can I get to know you better in the future?"

I don't know when, Toyokawa Shoko had already walked forward with her head held high, with her hands behind her back and a warm smile on her lips.

Hachiman stood there blankly, looking at Shoko in trance.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that Shoko's mood at this moment The smile may be the most beautiful picture he has ever seen in his life...

It is now past seven o'clock in the evening at the Stars Performance Hall, and the two beautiful girls who worked the morning shift, Ryo Yamada and Ichiri Goto, have both returned from get off work.

The only two waiters still working in the performance hall were Hachiman and Hongxia.

At this time, Hongxia was resting at the beverage counter, so Hachiman was the only one moving things around.

"Look, I always feel like Hikigaya-san is a bit silent today."

"It's always been like this, isn't it?"

Sisters Ichichi communicated softly.

"Is it because your sister has been suppressing you too hard these days, so Hikigaya-san is angry?"Hongxia stared at her sister.

Yiji Xingge avoided her eyes with a guilty conscience:"...Well, I will adjust my work intensity appropriately in the future."

As for the only male staff member in the performance hall, Ijichi Hoshige assigned almost all the physical work to him, and Hachiman did it well, which also consumed a lot of energy.

And today Hachiman has been doing it since he went to work Listless, as if very tired

"Hongxia, please calm down Hikigaya first, and I'll buy some condolences."

"oh��"

Itachi Hoshige put on his peaked cap and walked out of the performance hall, while Hongxia took a cup of slightly sweet soda and delivered it to Hachiman.

"Hikigaya-san, let’s take a rest."

"I am not tired..."Hachiman shakes his head

"scare!"

‘That Hikigaya, that Hikigaya-san who is trying his best to catch fish all day long, actually says that he is not tired!’

‘Hikigaya-san who is not lazy is not the Hikigaya-san I know at all!’

‘Sister, something big happened! '

Looking at Hachiman's abnormal behavior, Hongxia couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Do you have any misunderstanding about my work attitude?

Listening to Hongxia's voice, Hachiman felt tired.

Although he doesn't want to work, he still understands that since he receives wages from others, he has to put in corresponding labor.

"Did something happen to Hikigaya-san? ？"Hongxia suddenly asked

"It's nothing, I'm fine."
