Gravity makes me stronger?

‘Wavering eyes, haggard heart’

‘I am the only one in this world, and I am alone.'

In the cafe, Hachiman has not yet left. Listening to the lyrics in the cat girl's heart, his mood is ups and downs.

First of all, Hachiman thinks that this is indeed a good song, at least it sounds good.

But it didn't move him.

Mainly because of the lyrics

《The opening narrative of"Shadow of Spring" is relatively routine, coming from the protagonist's monologue explaining his inner loneliness.

After that, a person rescued the lonely protagonist, and this also made the protagonist develop an almost admiration for the other person.

Next, there is the protagonist's almost fanatical yearning for the rescuer, hoping to keep him by his side forever. In a sense,"Shadow of Spring" is called a song, but it is actually a love letter.

This kind of hot and heavy emotion was something Hachiman couldn't accept.

Unauthorized expectations, unauthorized imposition of ideals on the other person, unauthorized thinking that one can understand the other person, and ultimately unauthorized disappointment.

This is the story about the protagonist as seen through Hachiman's eyes. only...

For some reason, every time Hachiman wanted to get up and leave the table, he was reluctant."Haruhi Shadow" seemed to have magic power, constantly trapping him here.

As if telling him, listen for a while, a second, a minute, until the end of time.

So, Hachiman began to reflect, had he misunderstood the song?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and stopped worrying about the meaning of the song.

Having said that, this is the first time for Hachiman to hear the guitar ensemble played by Ichiri Goto and others. Unlike that time at the Stars Performance Hall, Ichiri Goto is obviously in better condition today.

Of course, this does not mean that Goto Kazuri has got rid of the problem of not being able to cooperate with others, but that the other guitarist is too strong.

Well, of course, Hachiman didn't mean to end that the other two members of the band played poorly, just not that outstandingly.

Under the leadership of this unknown cat girl, Goto Ichiri seemed to have caught a bit of a feeling.

Hachiman held his chin with one hand and smiled like a father as he listened.

"Isn't this great?"

However.

Something unexpected happened

"Someone is performing over there. Can you go up and have a look?"

"It sounds so good~"

"I've never seen that pink-haired girl before. Is she new? So bored?"

There were people who were constantly attracted by the duo's performance and stopped to enjoy it. As more and more people came to the cafe, the sound of Goto Ichiri's piano also began to rise and fall.

‘good...With so many people watching, wouldn't it be a social death if they played something wrong?! '

At first, it was okay to have an audience of one or two, but when there were more people, Goto Kazuri's mentality changed.

She kept forcing herself to concentrate, making sure that every note was played properly. Unknowingly, beads of sweat were forming on her forehead.

However, the tremendous pressure made her brain feel dizzy. The harder she tried to adjust, the more her grasp of each syllable declined.

Until halfway through the play, Goto Ichisato's eyes dimmed, and his not-so-strong heart, along with the sound of the piano, began to approach the edge of collapse....

"What's wrong?"The cat girl confirmed with concern.

Not only her, but Bai Lu, who had already squeezed to the front of the auditorium and listened carefully to the duo's performance, also noticed something strange.

The girl looked very nervous.

She shouldn't have been on stage too much. Experience, so now that there are more people, I probably won’t be able to hold on anymore, but don’t give up, you obviously play so well!

Goto Ichiri buried his head in his chest, and the rhythm of picking the strings became more and more chaotic. Whenever she tried to listen to the sound from the guitar to adjust the rhythm back to normal, her brain was completely occupied by a buzzing sound.

This was real social fear, not like the XXN on the Internet. Likewise, the apparent depression was actually a deception to gain sympathy.

Goto Kazari felt that the crowd's gaze gradually formed a heavy net over her body, making her breathless. If I work hard and exercise, my performance will be better, but why?...

Gradually, tears filled Goto's eyes and he was about to give up playing.

No need to be reminded of the gravity value. Hachiman can also see that there is something wrong with Goto Ichiri's current state.

Out of concern for his classmates, Hachiman should have stopped this unexpected performance, but Goto Kazuri had clearly enjoyed this ensemble before, so it would be a pity to end it like this.

Of course, this is just Hachiman's own idea. What did Goto Ichiri think?

Ever since, he looked at Goto and heard the struggle in her heart.

‘I'm so scared. I won't be able to play good music like this. I can't breathe. It's so painful.’

‘but...I want to become more confident and don’t want to be a burden to everyone all the time.

Silly boy, no one said you are a burden to everyone....

At least, not for me.

There is no doubt that Goto Ichiri is a lonely little social phobia, just like her nickname, Pochi-chan, which means being alone.

However, that was before the band was formed. Now Pochi-chan has so many friends and is no longer the lonely little one in the past.

Hachiman still owes Goto Ichiri a favor, and after thinking about it, it is time to repay it.

Since Pochi-chan wants to change, then change it, and I will help you with the rest!

Thinking of this, Hachiman called up the system interface in his mind, and then glanced at the progress bar of Hanazuki.

【Usable times: 1 time, target: 3 people, sustainable time: 10 minutes]

After this period of energy storage, the effect of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon has been enhanced again.

Of course, the degree of enhancement was not as exaggerated as that of Nagasaki Motoyo.

And ten minutes is enough time

【Sure enough, you, Sister Sose, is the son of the version.]

On the side, Goto Kazuri was gradually overwhelmed by the surrounding atmosphere. He pursed his lips with difficulty, closed his eyes, and pressed his left hand firmly on the piano surface.

Even if I hold on for one more second, if I hold on just a little longer, the song will be over.

In this case, at least Hikigaya-san and Kita-san will not be disappointed.

But, I'm so afraid that I won't be able to hold on....

No, I can no longer hear the sound of the guitar at all.

If this continues, everyone will be disappointed. I'm sorry, I'm sorry....

Suddenly, all the surrounding noise disappeared.

As soon as Goto opened his eyes, not only were the crowd of onlookers gone, but the surrounding area had also turned into bare cardboard. The warm lights in the cafe suddenly turned into cold colors, which was cool but also gave people a subtle sense of peace of mind.

Here, like in her cupboard at home?

Is she dreaming?
