Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Ha, I can't accept Kasumi Shiko just because she likes me. What do you think I am, a stud?"

"Isn't it?" Kato Megumi tilted her head.

"What kind of image do you have of me in your head? Don't teach your children like this in the future, or I won't forgive you." Hachiman glared at her.

When it comes to children, Kato Megumi stops talking.

"In short, I never accepted Kasumi Shiko's plan in the first place, and it became even more impossible after I reunited with you. Do you understand? I really, really wanted to accompany you during your pregnancy." Hachiman said viciously. No one believed him when he told the truth. Is this fair?

Although she knew it was wrong, Kato Megumi did feel a little happy in her heart, but she quickly shook off the emotion.

"Why do you keep calling senior sister Kasumi Shiko? Don't you think it's weird to keep calling her by her pen name?" So Kato Megumi changed the subject again.

"Isn't her name Kasumi Shiko?" Hachiman always thought that was her name.

"No, Kasumi Shiko is just the pen name of Senior Kasumigaoka. Ah, Senior's last name is Kasumigaoka. I remember she mentioned it. I wonder if it's a noble last name from Kanto or Kansai?"

Hachiman's body suddenly stiffened: "Take out my wallet, there is a note inside, turn it over now!"

Although Kato Megumi was surprised, she still took out Hachiman's wallet from the cut pocket, and there was indeed a note inside.

"Read the address above." Hachiman said, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"4th floor, Pas Apartments, 2nd Finsbury Park Street, London 2, Kasumigaoka Utaha, contact number... Isn't it right here? Why do you know Kasumigaoka-senpai's last name but have her contact information?"

Not to mention knowing it, he even once made Shiyu-chan's name die in Japanese society.

Although Murasaki Shikibu asked him to contact her daughter and ask for help if she had any difficulties, he had no intention of doing so. What help could a college girl provide? It would be too unfair to Kaori if he accidentally put her in danger.

What's more important is that his identity would be too embarrassing if he met Shiyu-chan.

"That's another story, longer than the Chronicle of the Holy Sword Driver."

Then Hachiman looked around the room, which was full of hipster vibes, and saw the fallen photo frame on the bedside table.

"Mei, bring the photo frame on the bedside over here so I can have a look."

When were you allowed to shout so intimately, Kato Megumi murmured and took the photo frame.

Sure enough, the plump mature woman who likes to wear purple and the young Shiyu-chan are clearly taking a photo together, but there is an obvious sense of alienation in the photo, and this emotion seems to be overflowing from the photo.

Fate, amazing.

But if that's the case, things will be easy, he said to Kato Megumi with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will make Shiyu-chan give up honestly this time. Please help me sew up the wound first."

Looking at his smile that seemed both mischievous and pretentious, Kato Megumi suddenly felt pity for her senior.

Soon, Kato Megumi sutured the wound, and her technique was much more skillful than the last time she helped suture her stomach.

"Did you learn it specially for me?" Hachiman asked.

Kato Hui was bandaging him and rolled her eyes at him: "Narcissist."

Hachiman laughed dryly twice and didn't care. After he was done, he didn't move his arm and picked up the photo frame with his other hand.

"Okay, open the door and let me show you my determination." Hachiman said.

Kato Megumi opened the door half-suspiciously, and Tomoya and Shiwa, who were originally outside, hurried in.

Shiyu was naturally worried about the condition of Hachiman's injury, but it was harder to say what Lun was worried about.

Just looking at their calm expressions, I felt relieved.

If Hachiman knew what he was thinking, he would probably complain about you being such a fool. But it would be strange if he could read anything from the faces of the two movie emperors.

"Hikigaya, how are you?" Shiyu was not so thoughtful now and was more concerned about Hachiman's health.

However, when she looked at the photo frame in Hachiman's hand, her face became a little stiff.

"Why are you holding this photo?" Although there was nothing shameful about it, Shiyu still tried her best not to have anything to do with that woman?

Although that woman is Shiyu's biological mother.

"Is this your mother?" The expression on Hachiman's face was a little heavy.

Seeing this unusual phenomenon, Shiyu couldn't help but nodded.

"Your real name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and you are a descendant of the Kasumigaoka family of the Kansai nobility. Your mother is a branch of the Fujiwara no Sekkan family, Fujiwara no Kaori, who was assassinated by the Emperor in the past two years as Murasaki Shikibu."

Both Kato Megumi and Tomoya could not help but look towards the room where the atmosphere was gradually becoming solemn, and looked at the two people.

"Why, you would know..." Shiyu's expression became stiff.

"I'm asking you, right!" Hachiman suddenly shouted.

Shiyu's eyes turned red after being scolded. Why was he so mean to her? She felt very wronged.

"Yes, how do you know?" Shiyu said softly. She still doesn't know what happened to Hachiman.

But when she looked up again, she saw tears in Hachiman's eyes, his expression was both unwilling and angry, and he even seemed to be blaming God for playing tricks on him.

"Because, you and I are half-siblings, Shiyu-chan!"

Chapter 26: Thunderstorm

Kato Megumi was standing by and knew as soon as she heard this guy was fooling her. On the one hand, it was because he had just greeted her in advance, and on the other hand, she also had an impression of Murasaki Shikibu in the photo, the mature woman next to Hachiman, with a mysterious aura that made her difficult to approach.

The feeling she had when she was with this man was definitely not that of a mother and son.

I still remember that after she left the celebration party, she specifically told myself not to drink in the future. She should have realized something at that time.

Once she thought about it, she realized that Senior Shiwa and Miss Murasaki Shikibu did look quite similar, but if she didn't know that in advance, she wouldn't have made the connection.

Now Kato Megumi began to believe that Hachiman had no interest in his senior.

After all, seducing my mother is too much, but having an affair with someone else's daughter, how outrageous must that be.

Probably...no way, Kato Megumi is not particularly confident in him, after all, he has a long criminal record.

If Hachiman, who tried so hard to express his feelings, knew that Kato Megumi thought of him like this, he would probably be furious.

Kato Megumi may not care, but the senior sister was struck by lightning when she heard that the person she had a crush on became a brother or sister?

Damn it, why did I write that? My sisters didn't write, only I wrote, so it must be something bad.

Suddenly, dark clouds appeared outside the window, with lightning and thunder. Soon, raindrops as big as soybeans began to wet the street.

"Ah, it's thundering." Lun, who realized it later, said naively.

I’m so shocked at you, the well-read senior thought that Lun was also mocking her, and the "fuck" in her heart turned into anger, and she cursed in her heart.

However, this also made her come back to her senses. How could such a coincidence happen? When making up a story, you should at least be original. You are just writing fan fiction.

"I don't believe it, you're talking nonsense, she won't!"

"You say, no?" Hachiman suddenly raised his head and looked at his "sister". His eyes were bloodshot without him noticing, causing Shiyu to take two steps back.

Damn, the Fengyoujing I applied just now is so powerful. I really don’t look at the advertisement but the effect.

"I have investigated everything that happened back then. Fujiwara Kaori...your mother...do you really think that woman was some noble lady? Before she married into the Kasumigaoka family, she had kept countless male lovers. She had a boyfriend at the age of twelve. There were new ideas every twelve months of the year, and surprises every month. Even I don't know which man's child I am!"

...............................

"Ah... sneeze..." I was enjoying afternoon tea at Yukinoshita's residence, reading a translated version of "Thunderstorm" carefully. I was concentrating on reading when I suddenly sneezed in a cute way.

"What's wrong, Sister Xiangzi, are you catching a cold?" Minamoto no Raikou asked with some concern.

"I think you kicked off the quilt while sleeping, and caught a cold from sleeping naked for too long." Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki, who was unhappy about the princess's sudden visit, took her usual opportunity to belittle her sister.

"I feel like someone is saying bad things about me." She ignored Qingxue who was like having her period and said cutely with her head slightly tilted.

Looking at the sunset under the balcony, I don’t know how he is doing, or whether he has contacted that unfilial daughter.

..................................

"Then, when she learned that she was going to marry into the Kasumigaoka family, she was already pregnant with me. But at that time, she was already six months pregnant and couldn't get an abortion. She secretly gave birth to me and cruelly threw me into an orphanage! Do you know how I lived in the orphanage during those years?"

Hachiman spoke with tears in his eyes, and it was pitiful to listen to him.

"While you were enjoying the protection of your parents in your warm bed, I was still fighting with others for a piece of moldy black bread with sawdust on it."

"Is there such a thing as black bread in Japan?" Kato Megumi complained.

"Shut up, kid, what do you know?" Maybe he made up the story too quickly or it was too smooth, but Hachiman accidentally exposed himself and glared at Kato Megumi. As a result, Ren rushed ahead of Kato Megumi, as if he wanted to protect his girlfriend, which made Hachiman even more angry.

Good guy, if I had known I would have let you do it a few more times that day.

Shiyu remembered that when she was woken up that morning, the woman called her for the first time and said that a relative asked her to contact him, but she ignored it and almost forgot about it.

Aren’t brothers and sisters “relatives”?

"I don't believe it, Mom... She is definitely not that kind of person. How could that nerd have the ability to seduce a man?" Shiyu kept convincing herself as if to give herself confidence.

Murasaki Shikibu in the distance seemed to have sneezed again. She wondered if it was the unfilial daughter who was cursing her, but it turned out to be the right answer.

"You don't believe it?" Hachiman slowly stood up.

His movements were so oppressive that Shiyu couldn't help but swallow: "That's right!"

When I thought about how that woman was really so shameless and dirty before marriage, and where I came from, I felt as uncomfortable as if I had swallowed a fly.

"Okay, I'll prove it to you. Give me your phone." Hachiman stretched out his hand.

Shiyu gritted her teeth and glared at him hatefully. Well, she wanted to see how he could make this story convincing to her, so she slapped the phone in his hand.

"Unlocking password, what's the use of giving me a cell phone, idiot sister." Hachiman slapped the phone back with his backhand, feeling proud in his heart but looking depressed.

Shiyu pressed the unlock button with almost the force of breaking the screen, and then threw the phone to him.

Hachiman took the call easily and found the phone number in the address book. The note was actually "bitch".

Oh my god, the hatred between you mother and daughter is a bit high.

Leaving that aside, Hachiman dialed the number and turned on the speaker so that everyone could hear the conversation clearly.

Then, he actually hung up the phone.

Hachiman opened his mouth slightly and looked at Shiyu, seeming surprised. Shiyu's face suddenly turned ugly.

That dead woman.

Hachiman sighed in mock helplessness, making the senior's face even uglier, and then he dialed the number again.

This time it was connected.

"Are you annoying? Even after your mother died, you didn't call me so frequently, disturbing me while I was reading." The elegant and mature female voice was filled with obvious impatience.

Shiyu's face turned blue immediately.

"It's me. I called you from Kasumigaoka's phone." Hachiman said bluntly.

"Ah, what are you doing..." The voice on the other end became flustered, which made Shiyu have a bad feeling.

Hachiman said in a heavy tone without a trace of joking: "I told Kasumigaoka about our relationship. She was very excited and didn't believe it at all."

".......You idiot, why did you have to be honest? Can't I just tell you that we are just ordinary relatives? How can I have the dignity to use my identity as a mother to suppress that unfilial daughter?"

Hey, I think your idea is wrong, isn’t this the point? Hachiman complained in his heart.

But Shiyu's face had turned completely pale, as if it had turned into an uncolored black and white line drawing, with a half-left-body soul.

The conversation just now had different meanings to different people. Kaori thought that Hachiman had told Shiyu about her and his hidden relationship, but from Shiyu's perspective, she thought that the woman was panicking because her daughter had discovered her illegitimate child, which was not inconsistent at all.

A classic interpretation using information asymmetry.

"That's it for now." Hachiman hung up the phone without any sadness or joy. If he continued talking, it would be easy to expose the truth.

He looked down at the disheartened Kasumigaoka Utaha and said in a scoundrelly manner.

"Then I'll give you more guidance in the future, my dear sister."

Outside, thunder roared.

Chapter 27 Why don’t you want to call me brother?

Having just acknowledged his biological sister, Hachiman's eyes became more mature again. He lit a cigarette. Although he didn't drink any alcohol, he looked like a man with a story.

Ren Ye felt very embarrassed at this moment. He came to find Kato Megumi but inexplicably overheard other people's privacy.

It was only because I really had something important to discuss with Xiaohui, and it would be too abrupt to leave now, that I forced myself to watch the whole show.

Hachiman gently blew a smoke ring onto Shiyu's face to help her summon the soul.

"Because your father is gone, that woman started to do whatever she wants. It seems that she finally remembered that she has a son like me. But why should I rely on her pity now? I have earned everything I have through my own hard work. For this, I have done many shameful and dirty things. For this, I had to kneel down under the skirt of a woman and marry into her family. None of this matters. I just want to prove to that woman that even without her, I am still no worse than anyone else!"

Hachiman seemed to recall the humiliation he had experienced over the years.
