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

Chapter 26 Gag

It seems like a long time ago that I was so determined to pursue my ideals while studying in the United States.

Thinking about this, Hachiman noticed that Rumi had become anxious since she got together with him. She was no longer willing to be positive and seemed to be just waiting to die every day.

So, what caused Rumei to become what it is today? Without spending much time thinking, Hachiman came to a conclusion almost instantly.

Just by looking at the happy smiles of those who have studied in the US, you can tell that when people lose the hardships of life and live happily every day, they quickly lose the will to fight.

She doesn't need to struggle for a living; she can simply stay home every day and be a gentle and virtuous wife. Even the housework is shared by others. Her income isn't low either, which is more than enough to support the whole family to enjoy a fairly good material life. This kind of life is probably something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

What's more, Hachiman has so much free time. The couple has endless time to spend together every day, nurturing their relationship. They're all sweet and affectionate, and when the mood strikes, they engage in a passionate and intense lovemaking session, until they're completely satisfied before drifting off to sleep in each other's arms.

In short, it's quite normal for someone studying in the US to lose their positive and ambitious spirit when they have nothing to worry about and are only focused on enjoying life.

Hachiman did not develop any objection to studying in the United States because of this. In the social environment of Japan, even women themselves are unconsciously influenced by male chauvinism, let alone Hachiman, who is a man.

Having long considered earning money to support his family as his mission, Hachiman naturally wouldn't have much to say about Rumi's daily housework.

There's no need to have too many expectations for a little girl. Just live a happy life without too much pressure or outstanding achievements. Isn't it good enough to live an ordinary and simple life?

However, Rumi herself did not think so. Just as Hachiman did not save her from that predicament in an instant, this kind of life would not completely destroy her in an instant.

When a person becomes complacent and loses their ambition, they will gradually be left behind by those around them who are working hard.

The primary condition that renders love nonexistent between two people is the inability to communicate. When one person speaks of literary giants from around the world, while the other only cares about the rising prices of salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, then the cold indifference of having nothing to say will capsize the shallow boat of love like a raging storm, causing the two who were once sailing together to sink into the cold seabed.

Rumi probably didn't want to end up like this after such a long separation, so she suddenly changed and started planning to continue learning and improving herself. This idea is good, and Hachiman unconditionally supports Rumi's ambition.

He wasn't a pedantic person who thought girls didn't need high levels of education.

With society.

The notion that there are plenty of men is exactly the opposite; it is precisely because of this that women should be even more proactive and ambitious.

Excellent people are always striving for progress, and high-level people will not compromise themselves by choosing someone whose values ​​do not align with their own.

Just as the down-on-his-luck scholars whom Yan Xiu admired were all highly talented, only with the support of material conditions can a person have the capital to choose the person they like.

He's not good enough himself, yet he's picky and lists a lot of conditions. He spends his days doing nothing but fantasizing, hoping that some fool will fall for him.

To live a life where one never has to lift a finger is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

The fact that she chose to study in the US and work hard made Hachiman the happiest person, because he was a direct beneficiary of her efforts.

Who wouldn't want their other half to be even more loving? Even if studying in the US would take several years, especially right after getting married, Hachiman wouldn't object.

While Hachiman was puzzled by Yukino's decision to join the fun, they were both adults and wouldn't act impulsively. Every decision had its reasons, and Hachiman didn't need to know them now. He just needed to let time pass, and Yukino and Rumi's purpose would naturally become clear. Hachiman wasn't in a hurry; he was still young, not even thirty yet, and his life goals were already largely achieved. So, no matter what, he wouldn't rush things.

Now that he's grown up, he can no longer be treated the same way he was when he was a child. Hachiman, who has developed a habit of raising children, needs someone to satisfy his needs.

Shinki is the perfect choice. She's still young, her values ​​are sound, and she's as cute as a porcelain doll. Every time Hachiman sees her, his heart melts.

Of course, Hachiman wouldn't neglect his son, but men, when they have a daughter, tend to pour too much love into their daughter.

The saying "raise sons frugally and daughters lavishly" refers not only to economic conditions but also to the level of care and attention given to them.

His mind was filled with thoughts of his adorable daughter, Hachiman, and he was even getting impatient, wanting to bring his two children home right now and then try to correct any flaws they might have stemming from Yukino.

Whatever you want to do, I will always be your most reliable support. I made that clear back then, so stop saying anything unnecessary and just do what you think is right.

Patting Rumi's little head, Hachiman didn't hesitate to offer his services.

I know, I know you'll support me, otherwise I wouldn't be so willful.

I just want to say that I might get better or worse in the next few years.

Because I've put myself in a dangerous situation.

Even though Yukino is watching over me, there are still many things that are uncertain.

With a gleam in her eyes, Rumi always felt very happy when talking to Hachiman, because the two not only had a tacit understanding, but also understood each other's deepest thoughts.

So if I go astray, you have to bring me back, even if it's a bit rough, just beat me awake and scold me awake.

If there is anyone in this world who can commit violence against Rumi and not be retaliated against, then that person must be Hachiman.

The parents who went to America would not be willing to treat their child with violence, and if others were to commit violence, they would face retaliation from the parents who went to America. Therefore, Hachiman's existence is special.

During her long and neglected life, she developed a slightly abnormal personality and sometimes longed to be hurt by the person she loved.

Just as Rumi becomes more lucid when Hachiman chokes her to help her feel suffocated, if she is truly being brainwashed, then violence is definitely a good way to wake her up.

However, this unconventional approach requires specific individuals to implement it; otherwise, it will only lead to more serious consequences.

"You bastard..." Hachiman stared speechlessly at Rumi. He really didn't know what to say to this guy who often made him choke her until she was breathless, and then made her tighten her lower body even more.

Hehe~ He laughed foolishly, with Hachiman's doting love, no matter what, he was fearless in his pursuit of studying in America.

However, I think I will definitely get better and better, so if you don't change like this by then, be careful that I leave you behind. If I find you unattractive by then, hmph~ With her hands on her hips, Rumi was like an inflated pufferfish, completely oblivious to death. What could Hachiman say about Rumi? He just grabbed the girl's fair ear without saying anything and pulled hard.

Just moments ago, Rumi was incredibly arrogant, looking like she had Hachiman completely under her thumb. But she immediately softened, pitifully grabbing Hachiman's hand that was pulling her ear, trying to rescue her poor little ear from Hachiman's clutches.

Unfortunately, the girl's resistance was destined to be futile. Hachiman, who disliked Rumi joking about their relationship, decided to make her suffer for a while and remember the things she shouldn't have said so she would never say them again.

Dear brother, I was wrong, please forgive me.

No longer caring that they were outside, Rumi even revealed her private nickname in order to get Hachiman to let her go.

Instead of immediately granting Rumi's request, Hachiman glanced around nervously. Once he realized no one was paying attention, he released his grip on Rumi's ear as if nothing had happened.

You're not allowed to call me that in public anymore; it feels really weird.

Whispering threats, Hachiman realized today that he could become such a perverted person when venting his emotions, but... I couldn't help it.

Or, darling, could you help me gag? I just bought some new mouthpieces.

A ball, the kind that can pull your tongue out and hold it in place.

While whispering in Hachiman's ear, Rumi mischievously licked his outer ear a few times with her pink little tongue.

New...able to pull out the tongue...the mind is full of the two words Rumi just said. To be honest, Rumi has indeed been turned into a little devil by Hachiman, otherwise how could she so easily stir Hachiman's heartstrings?

Besides, tonight when I'm lying down, you can press on my throat.

The little devilish whisperer, the ten-year-old girl from the US, was all about that.

His anger was fully revealed.

Hachiman, who was already having a minor reaction, steadied the sword after Rumi added those words, preventing it from getting too painful. Only then did he resume his gentlemanly demeanor. However, the actions of this so-called gentleman were anything but gentlemanly.

He quickened his pace silently, no longer caring about what would happen next. All he wanted to do was get home quickly, find the new gag Rumi had bought, pull out the girl's soft, pink tongue that always liked to act recklessly, so that it could no longer test other people's patience as usual, and then forcefully shut Rumi's little mouth shut.

Why are you in such a hurry? You'll eat your fill before coming back, won't you? Come with me for a walk first, or if you really can't resist... there's a shopping mall nearby, you should be able to find something there.

She turned her head away embarrassedly. Although Rumi was very open at home, and her expressions and way of addressing people pleased Hachiman, she was still shy when she was outside.

That won't do. His expression turned strange. Hachiman does like excitement, but this isn't the kind of excitement he likes. Rather than living in fear outside, he'd rather go home and show off his skills.

Well... let's go home. Or maybe you want to buy some handcuffs, leg irons, or rope? I've really been a bit naughty lately. If you don't discipline me, I'll become even more disobedient.

Rumi, who likes Hachiman, wants to be abused by him because she likes him. As long as it is within an acceptable range, the girl will only become more and more excited.

Without saying a word, Hachiman grabbed Rumi's hand and started walking very quickly.

However, this time the target was not the tram station, but the shopping mall that Ryumi had just mentioned. Ryumi laughed wildly and suddenly realized that being a little bad wasn't so bad after all.

After all, bad kids need to be taught a lesson, but as for what kind of lesson to teach... well, that's up to Hachiman.

What kind of education they would receive after the return of universities to the United States is unknown, but today, the young woman can quickly guess her fate.

Maybe not just today~ Rumi thought to herself, squinting as she quickly followed Hachiman.

With only a few days left until the wedding, and the plans already finalized, Hachiman and Mami are currently in a state of having nothing to do.

My anticipation grew even stronger; just thinking about studying in the US made my legs feel weak.

However, the blushing girl soon became melancholy again.

She didn't plan to let Hachiman wear a condom these next few days; the girl wanted to savor the feeling of being fitted and stretched little by little.

If I get pregnant, will I still be able to go to school?

After much deliberation and reflection, I finally decided to just do what I felt was right and figured I could always take a leave of absence and study at home if necessary.

After thinking it through, Rumi no longer intended to resist and openly followed in Hachiman's footsteps, planning to go and choose their own torture instruments together.

so...

When are those two finally coming back?

Around 1 p.m., Komachi, sitting at the table, was feeling a bit hungry. She had expected her brother and brother to arrive home an hour ago, but so much time had passed and they still hadn't arrived. If they continued to delay like this, she feared the wedding would become a laughingstock.

Gritting her teeth, Komachi, knowing she had been stood up, channeled her grief and anger into her appetite. She reheated the dish and began to devour it viciously.

Chapter 27

Hachiman will never know what his sister thought when she was feeling resentful about being hungry. Even if he did know, he would probably just laugh it off. After all, Hachiman and Rumi's wedding went very smoothly, as smoothly as eating and drinking water. There were no special procedures, only relatives and friends from both families gathered together to give their blessings and witness the occasion.

Although there were some problems along the way, with Yang Nai's strong control, it was finally completed without any major incidents.

In fact, what Hachiman found even more unforgettable than the wedding day itself were the days leading up to it.

There was no so-called bachelor party, because Hachiman didn't have any male friends.

Although it may sound unrealistic, almost everyone Hachiman is familiar with is a woman of various types. As for Saika, whom he hasn't seen in a long time, Hachiman actually habitually treats her as a girl.

However, nothing soft or slippery happened. After returning home from Yukino's place, Hachiman and Rumi had already released all their desires at once. In the days leading up to the wedding, Hachiman and Rumi spent most of their time strolling and chatting together, going to the library, and working out at the gym.

In the past, Hachiman always felt that spending every day together was the best and happiest thing. But these past few days, whenever Hachiman looked up to relax after reading and saw Rumi studying hard in high school, a different kind of happiness would well up inside him.

For some reason, Hachiman seemed to prefer Rumi as she was now to her seductive self in bed.

Unbeknownst to them, Rumi had begun to change. In the past, she always liked to rely on Hachiman, and it was common for her to act cute and spoiled. She also cried a lot when she was angry. In short, she was a very willful little spirit.

However, those who studied in the US now exude a confident, composed, and nonchalant air.

The girl had more freedom to manage her time, began to be proactive and ambitious, and spent each day looking for both her strengths and weaknesses.

In the process of continuous improvement, self-confidence naturally arises.

The girl's eyes no longer held Hachiman's image; instead, they were filled with the stars and the sea. As a result, her eyes shone even brighter, and in an unintentional glint, they captivated the entire heart.

Confident and independent women are always different from others. Compared to women who are dependent and have everything under control, men are naturally more attracted to women who require exploration and research, who can provide surprises through constant discovery, and who inspire a desire for continuous study.

Without a doubt, Hachiman had fallen hopelessly in love with a woman named Rumi, just as he had been with Yukino. He began to crave everything about this woman, hoping to find the treasure buried in the sand from everything he had become accustomed to.
