The lonely Hikigaya Hachiman wants to become the king of mystery novels

"Sister, I'm back. This time you are not as enthusiastic as in previous years. I originally wanted to hug you, but unfortunately all my hands were occupied by my luggage."

Yukinoshita Yukino saw that her sister was still reluctant to speak, so she took the initiative to speak, her face no longer cold as before, but turned into a nostalgic smile.

"What...what am I thinking? This is still my cutest little Yukino."

Yangono still hugged her sister, and held her tighter than before. She was a little ashamed of the inexplicable sense of crisis she had just had, and gently rubbed Yukino's delicate cheek.

The family finally got into the car, still speechless as before, but the low-pressure atmosphere disappeared.

Yukino put away the sharpness she had shown when she met her family just now. After all, it was just a show, and it would be very tiring to maintain it for a long time.What she was thinking about at this time was how to speak to her mother after returning home and requesting her to move out of high school. Can she really withstand her mother's pressure?

At this time, Harano couldn't open the topic with Mr. Hachiman's novel like last year.Because her parents already knew that she had a good relationship with Mr. Hachiman, if they told this matter in front of Yukino, she would not be able to defend herself.

Yukinoshita Haruno planned to confess everything about Hikigaya Hachiman after Yukino came back.

Of course, it can only be done one-on-one with her sister and she can tell it personally, so that the situation can be controlled within her control.If Yukino learned about this from any other source, it would be difficult for her to touch her sister's soft cheek again, which was something she would never accept.

The two sisters each had their own concerns, and no one spoke first on the way home.

Chapter 67 Yukinoshita Yukino returns like lightning

Hikigaya Hachiman is planning a big thing recently, which is to arrange the furniture in his new house.

Hachiman himself hates trouble. In order to get things done once and for all in the future, he pays special attention to the furniture he wants to buy.However, after he made a bunch of lists, he realized that the [-]-square-meter apartment could not accommodate his ambitions.

Previously, Hikigaya Hachiman had purchased a complete set of home theaters and a large sofa that could be used to lie down in any position. The former has now been shipped to the new house and is ready to be installed, and the sofa is still on the way.

As for the remaining furniture, in addition to the necessities of daily life, Hachiman also hopes to buy some items that can minimize his daily work.He even seriously considered whether to find someone to help him with housework, but later gave up on this idea. After all, he still preferred to be alone.

Hachiman wants to completely decorate his new apartment before the New Year holiday.These days, new furniture is delivered to the apartment every day, and he has to go straight to the new apartment after school to confirm the placement of the furniture.

Seeing his new home gradually becoming more fulfilling, Hikigaya Hachiman felt a sense of accomplishment.

Her mother was really worried about Hachiman's ability to live alone, and she was also afraid that this beautiful new house would turn into a garbage dump after Hachiman lived alone for a few months, so she told Hachiman that she would come here from time to time to help clean and cook.

Hikigaya Hachiman never refused his mother's kindness.After all, after moving away, the number of meetings with his family will be greatly reduced. Needless to say, his mother will go home to see him often.

"It's finally over..."

With the last and most important piece of furniture – the dishwasher – officially in place.Hikigaya Hachiman's new home has been completely decorated.

Hikigaya Hachiman was lying on the large sofa in the living room, remembering that no new residents had moved into the apartment opposite him.Neighbors are also an unknown factor after moving to a new house. He can only hope that his future neighbor will not be a cashier who stays up late every day.

"Is this what you want to do when you move out from home in high school? Yukino."

Mrs. Yukinoshita said coldly.At this time, the Yukinoshita family of four is sitting around the table in the main hall. This is the Yukinoshita family's unique family meeting format.

"Yes, mother. I hope to continue to exercise my independence and rent a house near the school, which can also reduce the time I spend traveling between school and home."

Yukinoshita Yukino replied.At this time, she no longer had the toughness she had when she first got off the plane, and her tone fluctuated slightly when she told her reasons.

"I thought that after studying in the United States for three years, you would be a little nostalgic for your family. I didn't expect that you are still so anxious to leave this place."

There was no emotion in Mrs. Yukinoshita's tone, but it made Yukino feel a chill in her back.She would rather her mother was angry, yelling, or sarcastic at her.

"Actually, moving out is not a bad thing for Yukino. Many abilities can only be developed when living alone. What's more..."

Mr. Yukinoshita agreed to let Yukino go out to live. He felt that Mrs. Yukinoshita's attitude was a bit unpredictable, so he decided to persuade his wife.However, before he finished speaking, Mrs. Yukinoshita reached out her hand to signal him to stop.

"I have nothing against it."

Mrs. Yukinoshita changed the topic.Yukino, who had already lowered her eyebrows, suddenly raised her head.

"Xuno, you want to live out, I agree. But the place where you live will be decided by the family. At the same time, I will also keep a key to your residence. If you agree, I will allow you to live alone during the three years of high school."

Mrs. Yukinoshita stated her conditions.From an outsider's point of view, there is no problem with this. After all, Yukino himself does not have the ability to be financially independent, so he should fully accept the family's arrangements.

However, the most important reason why Yukino wants to move out is that Mrs. Yukinoshita has absolute control over her two daughters.Ever since Yukino was sensible, she had almost no privacy at all. Although she had nothing to hide, she was very dissatisfied with her mother's prying into her privacy, and the resulting conflicts were countless.

Therefore, Mrs. Yukinoshita's seemingly reasonable request is actually a warning to Yukino, that is: do not try to escape her mother's control by any means.

"What's the matter, Yukino? This should be a very reasonable request."

Seeing that her daughter was still reluctant to speak, Mrs. Xuexia asked.

"Xueino, this is already very good, just promise mother."

Yangno whispered to Yukino from the side.She knew very well what her sister was thinking, but now they were not qualified to make any demands in front of their mother. If they hesitated any longer, they might not even have this chance.

"...Okay, mother. I'll leave you to worry about it."

After learning, Yukino compromised. She had no right to refuse. Even if it was the lesser of two evils, she would choose to accept her mother's arrangement.

----

"As expected, Xiao Yukino, your little plan has failed."

After his parents left, Gakusho Harano said to Yukino.This may sound a bit gloating, but in fact, it is an awkward expression of the sister-in-law Yangno's concern for her sister.

Yangno has long accepted her mother's endless control over her, but this does not mean that she thinks her mother is right, but that she knows very well that when she is not strong enough, any resistance will be in vain.When she discovered that her sister also realized this cruel fact, her heart was naturally filled with sympathy.

"If that's what you want to say, then there's no need for us to continue the conversation."

Yukino said coldly.At this moment, she had a new understanding of her weakness and powerlessness in front of her family. She was a little angry, but had no way to release it.

"Why vent your anger, Yukino. We are obviously in the same boat. Now, forget it, you finally came back from the United States, and I think it's time to tell you some things."

Harano plans to tell her sister about Hikigaya Hachiman. Of course, a lot of details will be deleted.

"Yangno, come here."

Madam Gakushita's voice sounded at an inappropriate time.Recently, the Yukinoshita family has been busy with the end-of-year banquet again, and Harano is often called away by her mother to assign tasks.

"Okay mother, I'll come right away."

Yangno had no choice but to leave temporarily. Before leaving, he winked at Yukino, meaning that we would talk later.

"What... is it so mysterious?"

Yukino was a little confused.She didn't expect her sister to tell her any breaking news, so she planned to get up and walk around first.

Yukino stood up and found Yangono's cell phone on the cushion. The screen of the phone lit up because of a notification.She vaguely saw the phone's wallpaper hidden behind the notification bar, which seemed to be a group photo.

Chapter 68 Yukinoshita Yukino returns like lightning

Yukinoshita Harano remembered that she had forgotten her cell phone and hurried back to the main hall. Her cell phone was still lying quietly on the cushion, but her sister had disappeared.

"This kid Yukino, how come you disappeared in a while?"

Yangno, who still has work to do, has no time to worry about her sister's whereabouts.She picked up her phone, opened the screen, looked at the photo with Hikigaya Hachiman that she had set as the wallpaper, smiled slightly, and returned to her mother's room.

At this time, Yukino had returned to her room.But she didn't sit down or lie down. Instead, she put her hands behind her back and leaned against the sliding door of the room. Her pupils dilated in fear.

Although she hadn't seen the boy named Hikigaya Hachiman for a year, when she saw the wallpaper on Harano's phone, she could still recognize the one who was posing sweetly with her sister. Boy, he is undoubtedly Hikigaya Hachiman.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt that her CPU was a bit burned out at this time. She forced herself to calm down and analyze the shocking scene she just saw.

"My sister must have known Hikigaya-san for a long time, but when? Was it before the banquet last year or after the banquet?"

Yukino frantically searched in her mind what happened after she parted ways with Hikigaya at the party last year.She recalled that when she told Harano that a peer named Hikigaya Hachiman persuaded her, her sister showed an unexpected expression.

"Sure enough, my sister at that time already knew Hikigaya-san?"

The answer to this question is uncertain. Assuming this is true, combined with that photo, Yukinoshita Yukino can draw a conclusion that makes her even more chilling:

Her sister Haruno, even though Yukino herself clearly stated that she wanted to express her gratitude to that Hikigaya classmate, she still chose not to tell her that she actually knew Hikigaya Hachiman. And at this time, Yukino was distressed that she could not express her gratitude to him. For a year, my sister and Hikigaya-san were doing the things in the photo...

Yukinoshita Yukino felt that the voice in her head was beginning to stutter. Could it be that her sister regarded her as an imaginary enemy competing for Hikigaya-san?This idea is too crazy, but it is also extremely reasonable.

"Are you kidding me? Will you fall in love with someone just after being persuaded? Are you going to take away my right to say thank you?!"

Yukinoshita Yukino was very angry, but she resisted the urge to confront her sister immediately. In that case, her sister would just evade the situation with a few perfunctory words and promise to take her back to meet Hikigaya Hachiman-san, that's all.

She must see Hikigaya Hachiman alone, and only when her sister is not present can she know the whole truth.

With this idea in mind, Yukino returned to the main hall and sat down again. At this time, she had adjusted her emotions so that no one would notice the huge psychological fluctuation she had just experienced.

"Yukino, do you have time now? I will take you to see the place where you will stay next year."

The speaker is Mr. Yukinoshita.Although the decision was made by Mrs. Yukinoshita, she still left the matter to her husband who doted on her daughter. She believed that her husband would choose a good place for Yukinoshita, and she only needed to wait at home to get the key. Can.

"Okay father, don't mother and sister go together?"

Yukino asked casually.

"They still have something to talk about. Besides, we are not going to just one place today. Let's tell them after we confirm it."

Mr. Yukinoshita said as he and Yukino got into the car and headed to their destination.

----

Hikigaya Hachiman ended his trial stay in his new home, and he was very satisfied with everything here.After he turned off the electric switch, he walked out of the room.

"I really hope I can advance to high school soon..."

Hikigaya said reluctantly.Before officially going to Sobu High School, he would definitely have to live in his original home.

The only disadvantage of this apartment is that the floor is too high and sometimes you have to wait for a while for the elevator.At this time, Hikigaya Hachiman was pacing, waiting for the elevator to rise to the eleventh floor.

"It's just that the floor is a bit high."

"Yes, Mr. Yukinoshita. However, this apartment is fully occupied and there are not many residents, so this one elevator is enough."

Before the elevator door opened, Hikigaya Hachiman heard a conversation coming from inside. It was the voice of two men. They should be the renter and the owner of the apartment opposite him.

The elevator door opened, and Hikigaya Hachiman stood to one side to make room for the people inside to come out.As expected, there were two men in the elevator. One of them, Hikigaya Hachiman, recognized him at a glance. He was Mr. Yukinoshita who spoke on behalf of the Yukinoshita family at last year's banquet.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Yukinoshita is definitely not here to look at the house for himself to live in, and it can't be Harano. Chiba University is too far away from here, so there is only one possibility left..."

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned. He saw the girl who followed the two men out of the elevator door. She had the same shoulder-length black hair, snow-white and transparent skin, and a cute face as last year.And, the face that became very wonderful because of seeing Hikigaya.

"Uh, hello, Yukinoshita-san, long time no see."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't understand why Yukino had such a rich expression after seeing him after a year, but he still said hello to him first.

"Okay, long time no see, Hikigaya-san."

Yukinoshita Yukino adjusted her expression and replied in a barely stable tone.

"Oh? Yukino, is he someone you know?"

Mr. Yukinoshita asked very curiously.He only knew that Yangno had a good relationship with the teacher Hachiman, but he had not seen the group photo, so he did not recognize the young man in front of him as the teacher Hachiman.

"Yes, father, we met at last year's banquet. It was Hikigaya Hachiman who persuaded me at that time, and what happened next happened."

Yukinoshita Yukino introduced to her father. Since there were outsiders present, she did not go into details.

"So that's it. Then I should thank this Hikigaya..."

Mr. Yukinoshita suddenly thought of something.

"Wait a minute, classmate, your name is Hikigaya Hachiman, right?"

"Uh, yes, Mr. Yukinoshita, you may not know me, but I saw you speaking at last year's banquet."

Hikigaya Hachiman had an ominous premonition.

"No, I think I should know this Hikigaya-kun, you should be Hachiman-sensei."

Mr. Yukinoshita said firmly.He will definitely remember the real name of Teacher Hachiman that Yangono told him.

"Nani?!"

Yukinoshita's brain went completely blank.But before she went completely blank, she used her last bit of reason to figure out Harano's true purpose of hiding Hikigaya's existence from her.

Chapter 69 Yukinoshita Yukino returns like lightning (End)

"So, Hachiman-sensei, you bought an apartment here so it's convenient for commuting to Sobu High, right?"

Mr. Yukinoshita asked, taking in the layout of the apartment in front of him.

At this time, the group of people had arrived at Hikigaya Hachiman's new home and were seated. Hikigaya Hachiman was making tea and preparing to entertain the guests.

"Yes, Mr. Yukinoshita, this is my final choice after considering many places. I am quite satisfied with it."

Hikigaya Hachiman brought the boiled tea over and made it for the guests respectively.

"Mr. Hikigaya is right. The conditions of this apartment are among the best in Mihama District. If it is for the convenience of commuting to Sobu, it can be said to be the only choice."
