Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

After enjoying herself for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka started chatting with Sawamura Sayuri: "This time, we also owe a lot to the Sawamura family's support, otherwise things wouldn't have calmed down so quickly."

"Oh, Mr. Fujimaru, you're too kind. Isn't this a mutually beneficial arrangement? We'll have a long time to get to know each other in the future~" Mrs. Sawashiro gave him a reproachful look, her still youthful face exuding a mature charm that the other guy couldn't match.

However, Mrs. Sawamura's words were quite insightful; she understood his point perfectly, like a seasoned veteran who knows to change positions after just a pat on the butt, knowing that the real action is about to begin.

All I can say is that they're on the right track.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled knowingly, understanding the unspoken meaning, and said without delay, "From now on, Chaldea will cooperate well with the Sawamura family. However, Chaldea has also discussed related matters with the Yukinoshita family before. I wonder if Mrs. Sawamura has time recently so that the three families can meet together to discuss it in detail."

Mrs. Sawamura tapped her folding fan on her fair palm and smiled in agreement: "Very well. I've also heard of the lady from the Yukinoshita family. I should learn from her about raising such a fine child as Yukino. And if there's an opportunity in the future, we might be able to collaborate in Chiba Prefecture."

The two foxes exchanged a smile, deciding to stand together. Now it was up to them to see if the leader, Yukinoshita, would speak politely. If they cooperated well, becoming a powerful criminal force and ruling Chiba Prefecture, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Sawamura Sayuri grew increasingly satisfied with Fujimaru Ritsuka, glad she had decisively agreed to the investment. After all, upon arriving at the scene later, she noticed the patterns on the clothing of the people who emerged with her were likely the symbols of famous temples and shrines like Ueno Toshogu Shrine and Senso-ji Temple. Even members from these renowned places in the secular world couldn't compare to the contributions of Fujimaru Ritsuka and her group. The true strength of their organization was evident.

It's a pity that Fujimaru Ritsuka already has several attractive girls around her, and her own chashu probably wouldn't even look at her... But it's okay, just throw Eriri over there as a chores person to organize the files, and maybe that will help them get closer.

She whispered about it to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was very pleased, as it would help someone like Eriri, who was sensitive to inspiration, to live a good life.

Sigh, I'm so worried about my child's future safety.

Sayuri Sawamura rested her chin on her folding fan and sighed deeply.

Eriri was still fiddling with little Ritaro Aki on the sofa, completely unaware that in the blink of an eye, she had been sold out by her mother.

Oh, so she already sold herself before? That's alright then.

44. "Commander, let's get married" (Please subscribe)

On the morning of May 9th, Eriri Sawamura yawned, scratching her pale belly peeking out from under her pajamas, and sleepily walked into the living room: "Good morning, Mom!" She listlessly picked up a cup and poured herself a glass of milk.

"Good morning, Eriri-san." An unexpectedly clear voice rang out, causing Eriri's hand to tremble and spill milk outside the cup.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka! What are you doing here? No, what are you still doing here?" Sawamura Eriri hurriedly picked up a rag to clean up the spilled milk, then slapped her cheeks hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Not only was Fujimaru Ritsuka there, but Yukino, Utaha, Abigail, and the listless Aki Ritaro were also sitting around the dining table, preparing to eat breakfast.

Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up the porcelain pot containing syrup and slowly poured golden honey onto the pancake in front of Abigail. Abigail, holding a knife and fork, looked on expectantly, her mouth practically watering.

While serving the little one breakfast, Fujimaru Ritsuka casually said, "We stayed up too late last night, and Mrs. Sawamura insisted we stay the night after we finished talking. Luckily, you had extra guest rooms. This morning, you even prepared a sumptuous breakfast for us. We are so grateful to Mrs. Sawamura."

"Speaking of which, you used to be so unkempt this morning," he subtly reminded him.

Eriri Sawamura's face quickly flushed red. She hurriedly walked back, stammering, "Haha, is that so? You guys eat first, I'll go change my clothes." She practically fled, dashing upstairs in a flash.

This mom didn't even remind me that there were guests, so I came downstairs in my pajamas. How could she be so unreasonable!

Abigail paid no attention to their conversation, waiting eagerly. Finally, a layer of golden honey was evenly poured over the flatbread. She raised her knife and fork, cheered, and quickly cut off a piece, popping it into her mouth: "Delicious! Flatbread is truly the best thing ever!"

"Eat more if it's delicious, so you can grow up quickly, Abby~"

Abigail puffed out her cheeks, pouted, and mumbled, "The commander is so long-winded. Besides the pancakes, I also want that fried egg."

"Okay, okay, good kids deserve this kind of treatment. Let the captain serve you." Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to use her chopsticks to serve Abigail when a fried egg was quickly placed on Abigail's plate.

Yukino Yukinoshita gave a polite smile: "If you need more, just let me know. But good children shouldn't disturb others while they're eating."

"Gurgle... What Yukinoshita-neechan said makes sense."

Abigail gave a rather unwilling look, picked up the fried egg with her fork, and chewed it with a loud gulp.

The chewing force looks a bit fierce, but it's also cute, so it's okay!

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled—it seems that the fact that the three of them slept together last night has made their relationship progress rapidly. Very good, very good. Maintaining the consistent harmony within the Chaldea organization is a good thing.

He cheerfully poured himself a glass of milk and ate the food on the table. At that moment, Sayuri Sawamura also came out of the kitchen and put food on the table: "I apologize for the poor hospitality; this is just simple food, please make do with it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a thumbs up: "Not at all, I'm quite curious. I thought the Sawamura family relied on a housekeeper to cook for them, but I didn't expect Mrs. Sawamura to cook for us herself. It tasted amazing."

"Oh my, Mr. Fujimaru, you really have a sweet tongue." Sayuri Sawamura said with a smile, touching her face with her hand. "You really know how to please girls. If it were ten or twenty years ago, I might have been captivated by you. Speaking of which, you must be very popular, right? I bet you're the kind of person whose shoe closet is overflowing with chocolates on Valentine's Day."

At the dining table, the movements of three people visibly slowed down, as if they were waiting for some answer. Only Aki Ritaro, sitting in the corner, didn't seem to care and continued eating and drinking as usual.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was drinking milk from her cup, was completely oblivious to the strange situation at the table. She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Mrs. Sawamura is too kind to me. I used to have a bad reputation in class. I was considered a weirdo. After school, I would rush home to train. I was always alone and not popular. I only received some obligatory chocolates on Valentine's Day."

The three eavesdroppers resumed their fluid movements. Mrs. Sawamura, with her sharp eyes, even caught a barely perceptible smile on their lips.

Sighing, Sayuri Sawamura completely suppressed her whim to offer advice to her daughter: the opponents were not only powerful but also numerous. Her foolish daughter would only be cannon fodder. Even with her own successful arrival from her husband's childhood friend's cuckolded past, she wasn't confident of winning this battle.

After testing the waters, Mrs. Sawamura remembered something and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka curiously, "Um, what are you planning to do about Abby's situation?"

When Fujimaru Ritsuka told Sawamura Sayuri the whole story, she still omitted the truth about Abigail, only vaguely stating that the little girl was an undocumented kidnapper with no family and nowhere to go back.

Abby's pitiful experience made Mrs. Sawamura feel very sorry for her. Sayuri Sawamura also wanted to do something for the girl, but since they were not related, it was a bit difficult to ask.

Or should I adopt a goddaughter myself?

Sawamura Sayuri was somewhat tempted, but ultimately gave up the idea. Judging from the child's eyes, she would probably prioritize living with her captain brother.

“Yes, this is a difficult problem to handle. If things continue like this, Abigail will not only be unable to go to school, but will also have trouble with her normal life.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also having a bit of a headache.

Kasumigaoka Utaha interjected, seemingly unintentionally, "For unregistered Japanese citizens, generally speaking, the only way to clear their name is by marrying a Japanese person, right?"

"Really? Really? That's great! I want to marry the captain!" Abigail's eyes lit up, and she pounced on the side, hugging Fujimaru Ritsuka and shaking his arm affectionately. "Captain-san, please marry Abigail! That way, Abigail can live a normal life!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart melted from the swaying, and almost unconsciously, she nodded hastily and said, "Okay..."

Yukino Yukinoshita & Utaha Kasumigaoka: (?_?)

"...That's impossible!" Fujimaru Ritsuka said righteously. "Abby, marriage isn't something you can just say casually. Don't worry about that. After we talk to Yukinoshita's mother, we'll definitely be able to get her to help us solve the problem."

Full of confidence, this local bigwig in Chiba Prefecture, a dignified prefectural assemblyman, helping to solve the problem of an unregistered resident is a piece of cake.

"Oh..." Abigail sullenly hopped back to her seat, turning her head away as she ate her flatbread. Where no one could see, she let out a soft snort.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance, feeling threatened, and then stared intently at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The look in her eyes that seemed to say, "I never expected you to be a lolicon," stung Fujimaru Ritsuka deeply.

He quickly changed the subject: "But Abby doesn't have a place to live right now. We should find a place for her to settle down today. However, Abby really isn't suited to living alone."

At this point, Abigail's spirits returned, and she raised her hand: "Hi~ Hi~! Abigail has something to say. Why don't we stay at the commander's house?"

"No!" Yukino and Utaha said in unison.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded approvingly. "Yeah, Abby. After all, I'm a boy, so it's not always convenient for me to take care of you."

Besides, if you move in, all that joyful life of playing games and reading books will be gone forever.

Abigail pouted, "But I don't want to live here either. I heard the leader goes to school in a place much farther away, and I'll feel uneasy if it's that far away." She gestured with her hands, indicating how far Chiba was from Tokyo.

Indeed, even Fujimaru Ritsuka himself was uneasy about letting Abby stay in Tokyo. After all, Abby's power originated from those indescribable beings, and he was a little worried about her not being around.

Yukino Yukinoshita had an idea. She said, "I'm living alone in a luxury apartment now, right? There are empty rooms in the apartment, so why don't we let Abigail live with me?"

"Um... Yukinoshita-neechan, is your home in Shimizu City, where the captain goes to school?" Abigail asked cautiously.

“It’s Chiba… um, we go to the same school.”

Are they in the same school? Based on Abigail's past experience, students who attend the same school are usually from the same town, so they can visit each other on foot. Plus, Fujimaru Ritsuka's attitude is quite firm, so it doesn't seem like she'll be able to win the right to live together.

After thinking it over, Abby could only reluctantly nod: "Alright, then Abby will live with Yukinoshita-neechan. But Captain, you have to come and see Abby often, otherwise Abby will be lonely." She quickly added the condition, which made Fujimaru Ritsuka smile.

"Okay~ They're all in the same city, only about an hour's drive from Yukinoshita..."

Clang! Abby's knife and fork fell onto the plate, her mouth agape: "An hour?"

"Yeah, more or less. After all, transferring between trams in the city is a bit of a hassle. What's wrong?"

The Abby is badly damaged, the Abby is silent, the Abby has suffered a major defeat.

Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled a few times, quickly changing the subject and confirming the matter: "Then let's eat quickly, we still need to go buy bedding for Abby later."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was puzzled: "But we still have class today. Today is the second quiz, didn't you forget?"

Yukino Yukinoshita covered her face: So many things happened since yesterday afternoon, it feels like so long has passed, I've completely forgotten about it!

45. Abby is truly a bewitching woman.

"Many years later, when Yukino Yukinoshita stands at the school gate to visit her alma mater, she always remembers that distant morning when she was so busy that she forgot she had to take the exam."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, in a high-pitched voice, pretended to be a narrator in a muffled, inaudible tone.

"Exam!" Abigail stood beside her, raising her hands high. Although she didn't quite understand the joke, she still played the role of the straight man, cheering along.

Yes, Abigail also came to school with them.

During breakfast, Fujimaru Ritsuka brought up school matters, which reminded Yukino that she had a quiz to take today.

They quickly finished breakfast, got into the Sawamura family's car, and drove to the vicinity of the school.

Abigail was reluctant to be left anywhere else, and Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't think of a suitable place for her. After much thought, Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to bring her directly to the school and ask Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei to take care of her.

The two worked together with great effort, staging the opening scene of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at them and said, "Childish!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka made a face and gave Abigail a high five.

So he missed someone whispering, "Since I'm standing at the school gate, what about you?"

"What do you mean, yours or mine?"

"Ugh~~" Yukino Yukinoshita took a few steps back, unsteady, before realizing who it was.

Yui Yuigahama, whose role had been absent for over thirty chapters, showed up uninvited. She patted Yukino Yukinoshita on the shoulder: "Ah-hello, good morning, Yukino. Wow, who's this little girl?"

She felt like she had discovered a new continent; whenever she saw Abigail, who looked like a porcelain doll, she had an urge to pounce on her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka proudly puffed out her chest: Look, it's not just me who's so easily charmed by Abby, that guy over there with the Enchantress Eyes fell for it too.

Their original location was slightly to the right of the school gate, where they were initially hidden from view. However, Yui Yuigahama's antics still drew curious glances from students on their way to school.

Aside from the witch's trial ceremony, this is the first time I've been watched by so many people...

Abi shyly hid behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, peeking out her little head timidly to observe her surroundings.
