The Hikigaya couple's youthful love story is definitely not a problem.

Seeing this, I'm relieved. What are your plans for handling this next? Ye Shan asked.

That's where we need your help.

Hachiman explained the original plan to Hayama.

Is that so? Sure, I can help with that.

Ye Shan nodded in agreement.

But if she does that, she might still be isolated in the future.

So I asked Yukino to help her transfer schools. The girl trusts me and her now, so we just need to help her get through this period.

Hachiman explained.

Oh, I'm relieved.

Ye Shan said, preparing to get up and leave.

Just then, Rumi came running from the house and pounced on Hachiman, climbing on him with her hands and feet.

Hachiman pulled her into his arms and felt some water on Rumi's hands.

So that's what picking flowers means.

Hachiman thought to himself.

Seeing Rumi fall into Hachiman's arms again, pretending to be an ostrich, Hayama smiled but didn't say anything. He just waved to Hachiman and went back to his seat to continue working.

Hachiman kept stroking Rumi's hair, and the smile on his face never faded as he watched the little one lying expressionlessly in his arms.

Hikigaya-kun, come and lend a hand.

Yukino called out without turning her head.

"Um, I need to go help now, can you let me go?" Hachiman asked his little ancestor, bowing his head.

Rumi snorted in extreme displeasure, then silently released her grip on Hachiman.

Seeing the awkward situation, Hachiman just smiled and patted Rumi's head.

Walking up to Yukino, Hachiman gently asked, "Why did you call me over here?"

If you get this done, we can eat. These past two days I've felt like a cook.

You've worked hard, but if you're not going to do it yourself, are you going to let Yui do it?

"Huh? What do you mean, Xiaoqi?" Yui, who was standing to the side blowing air into the furnace, raised her head in dissatisfaction.

"Pfft, hahaha, what happened to your face?" Hachiman burst out laughing when he saw Yui's face blackened by soot.

"What's wrong?" Yui asked, puzzled.

When she had some free time, Yukino didn't say anything, but simply found a small mirror and placed it in front of Yui's face.

Wow~ What is this?

Upon seeing her dark face in the mirror, Yui gasped and rubbed it with her hands.

Stop rubbing, it'll only make it dirtier. Go wash it off.

Yukino offered a reminder.

Oh! Upon hearing this, Yui hurriedly ran to the tap to wash her face.

After Hachiman finished feeding Rumi bite by bite, the little guy jumped down and returned to his own territory.

Yukino seized the opportunity and whispered something to Hachiman.

I've already spoken with her parents, and she'll transfer to the school near my house after the summer vacation.

So fast? How was it handled?

Her parents were away from home for long periods and didn't have time to take care of her. After hearing about my situation and her surname, they immediately agreed.

Okay, that's fine then.

Hachiman nodded.

……

After that, everything proceeded as usual.

However, on the way back, there was one more person in the car that originally had only five people.

Rumi was taking a nap in Hachiman's arms, which made Yukino, who had wanted to whisper something to Hachiman, quite unhappy.

Wake up.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Sobu High School, Hachiman gently rocked the little one in his arms.

Well.

Disturbed, Rumei rubbed her eyes in annoyance.

After getting out of the car, Hachiman saw Haruno standing quietly next to the black luxury car.

Hey Hachiman, I have some good news for you.

My mother asked me to invite you to our home.

Yang said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yukino panicked instantly and instinctively turned to look at Hachiman.

Seeing that Hachiman's expression remained calm, he finally felt relieved.

Yukino, let's go, your mother is waiting for you at home.

Yang opened the car door and quietly looked at Yukino, who was standing still.

Go ahead.

Hachiman patted Yukino's head.

When the car was out of sight, Hachiman pulled Komachi along, carried Rumi, and put on their bags, and headed home.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Conditions

Early in the morning, Hachiman tidied his appearance in front of the mirror.

"How is it?" Hachiman turned to Rumi beside him and asked.

Yep.

Wearing only panties and a T-shirt, Rumi lay on the bed playing Hachiman's PSP, her two white legs swinging casually.

Can you please stop being so perfunctory?

Hachiman stepped forward and picked Rumi up, rubbing his nose against the little girl's soft, white nose.

What are you doing?

Rumi said irritably, and even stretched out her foot to step directly on Hachiman's face.

"It's all because of you that I'm dead!" Liu Mei glanced at the PSP in her hand.

Rumi stomped hard on Hachiman's face, but Hachiman only gently licked the sole of her foot.

Liu Mei jolted and pulled her foot back, but gritted her teeth and stepped on it again.

He stuck his toes into Hachiman's mouth, clamped his tongue between his fingers, and huffed angrily, ignoring the saliva that got on his tongue.

"I finally got to that point, and you killed me and then licked me?" Rumi said, stuffing half of her foot inside.

Since you like licking so much, I'll let you have your fill.

Feeling Hachiman's tongue circling around her foot, Rumi couldn't stand the stimulation and quickly pulled her foot out.

Cough...cough cough.

Hachiman was nearly killed by his own daughter and was coughing in pain.

Rumi wiped the drool off her feet on the bed with a look of disgust, and stared blankly at Hachiman. "I'm going to tell Mom that Dad licks my feet all the time."

Huh? My little darling, if you say that, I guess I won't see the sun rise tomorrow.

Hachiman looked at Rumi with a bitter expression.

Hmph, I want to eat pineapple cakes.

The little one spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.

I'll bring it to you when I get back.

Hachiman immediately patted his chest and agreed.

Seeing that her request had been fulfilled, Rumi turned her head and lay face down on the bed, turning her back to Hachiman as she continued playing with her PSP.

Seeing the little princess looking like she was seeing him off, Hachiman had no choice but to leave.

Once outside, Hachiman took out his phone, found Haruno's number, and dialed it directly.

Oh, what does Hachiman want with me? He still has that same grinning look on his face.

Come pick me up, I have no idea where you live.

Huh? So cold?

Before Yang Nai could finish speaking, Hachiman hung up the phone and waited quietly.

Before long, a red Maserati pulled up in front of the Yawata family's house.

Come on up.

Wearing sunglasses and with impeccable makeup, Haruno spoke to Hachiman.

Hachiman opened the car door and got in.

Hachiman was poked in the cheek as soon as he got on the bus. Seeing that Haruno looked annoyed, Hachiman was a little confused.

The person in front of you doesn't easily show such an expression.

Do you know how much I sacrificed for you and Yukino? And you still hung up on me? I'm so heartbroken.

Hachiman looked closely at Haruno and noticed a faint dark circle under her light makeup. Hachiman's expression softened.
