Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Chapter 30 The baby is angry and can't be comforted

At noon, after Hachiman treated the four little ones from the service club to Korean barbecue, Rika originally wanted to discuss her novel ideas with him, but after a phone call from Hachiman, his mother-in-law urgently called him back to the company to discuss something. He had to regretfully end his happy time with the JKs and bury himself in boring struggles for interests.

"Ah, I'm so annoyed. I don't want to work." Hachiman sighed like a decadent uncle.

"Go back and run for election seriously. I don't want the position of county councilor in our district to be handed over to someone else." Liu Mei said lightly.

Hachiman complained in his heart, Rumi-chan, you don’t actually care who the congressman is.

"Come on, uncle. We will organize a cheering group in the school and let everyone vote for you. The captain of the cheering group will be the senior who studied in the United States."

Rikka said in a mischievous manner, and the two of them tacitly agreed to keep it a secret for the time being regarding what happened on the school rooftop.

"Hey, why me?"

"Didn't you just say that you didn't want anyone else to be a councillor?"

"I was just...talking casually." Rumi whispered, only to see Hachiman's extremely disappointed expression.

"I, I know. I'll do it. Whether it's dancing or folding a skirt, I can do it."

"Great!"

Then she saw Hachiman and Rikka clasping their hands together in tacit understanding.

"Really, why do you always want to embarrass others..." Liu Mei murmured in a low voice.

Of course it’s because of Rumi-chan’s cuteness, which can only bloom to its fullest when she is shy.

The boys from the former service club waved goodbye to the current members of the service club.

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

About half an hour later, Hachiman arrived at the door of the president's office. He also looked downstairs and found that there was no trace of Kaguya Shinomiya and her group. As part of the Yukinoshita family's counterattack after Hachiman was arrested, Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki drove out Kaguya's campaign team, indicating the end of the cooperation between the two sides.

Then, a problem arises. Originally, Kaguya's voting base was mostly composed of Kinko Society and the Yukinoshita family, but Hachiman took a different approach.

But now that the Yukinoshita family has separated, logically speaking, this part of the vote should be given to Hachiman in order to maximize benefits.

But the reality is that there are many unreasonable facts.

When the president's secretary saw that it was the son-in-law who came, he just nodded and did not specifically notify the president inside.

However, the president's secretary looked at Hachiman with a bit of pity. Generally speaking, it was not a good thing when the president directly called his son-in-law to the company. Usually he wanted to teach his son-in-law a lesson, and he didn't like being disturbed. Last time, the president's secretary accidentally walked in when the president was teaching his son-in-law a lesson, and saw the president scolding Hikigaya opposite as a fool. He was so angry that his cheeks turned red, and even his hair was messed up. However, the secretary who walked in without permission was also inexplicably bullied by the president several times afterwards.

Alas, it turns out that being the son-in-law of a wealthy family is not something that ordinary people can do. Although Mr. Hikigaya is very popular outside, he has no status at home.

Poor thing.

Hachiman naturally couldn't guess that the little secretary would have such rich associations, so he knocked on the door gently and pushed it open.

"What's the point of knocking if you don't wait for someone to respond before opening the door?"

I had just seen my mother-in-law when I was scolded.

"That was a display of my privilege at the time." After closing the door, Hachiman said in a slightly frivolous tone.

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki looked at the greasy young man in front of her, who was still meticulously made up and had a stern expression, but revealed the lazy charm of a beauty, and said with a smile.

"Aren't you going to play house with the princess?"

"Tsk, you see, it's not good to hold a grudge. Didn't I get in her car that night?" Hachiman tried to reason.

"You didn't get on my car either! You'd rather ride on your sister's bicycle than on your mother-in-law's BMW, right, Hikigaya Hachiman, you have no conscience."

"Damn it, how can you not eavesdrop? That's a lack of ethics," Hachiman protested.

Qingxue snorted coldly: "If I hadn't called you back, I think you would have been so engrossed in playing with the JK from Sobu High School that you would have forgotten that you still had to run for election."

Okay, not only eavesdropping but also peeping, the mother-in-law who looks generous but is actually very stingy and fussy has a frown on her face, as if to say that the baby is angry and can't be coaxed.

For some reason, it feels very cute.

My mother-in-law can't be that cute.

So Hachiman tried to stroke the tiger's whiskers and tease it a little.

"Oh, that's perfect. Rai Guang's mother just called me and said she had something to talk to me about. Her family has a lot of sheep and they say the goat milk is delicious. I've wanted to try it for a long time. Besides, Rai Guang's mother always welcomes people with a sweet smile, unlike some people who don't look so happy."

After saying this, he turned around and pretended to leave, trying to provoke his mother-in-law to panic.

As a result, I looked at her and saw her sneer and said, "Why don't you leave, you little brat."

Hachiman immediately smiled and said with a grin, turning around and returning to his original position: "Hey, who told me that I like to put my cold face on other people's hot butts."

Qingxue didn't like what she heard and spat, "You're so frivolous. Come here quickly."

Then the young man ran to the beautiful woman and began to massage her shoulders skillfully.

I saw Qingxue, who was wearing a dignified kimono, whispered like a child admitting his mistake: "Save some face for me and don't be angry with me. I have to maintain this personality while wearing this dress."

In Tokyo, she is the charming woman with her nails dyed with balsam juice, but in Chiba, responsible for tens of thousands of employees and hundreds of families, she can only be a rigid, strict and boring old woman.

Even in such a private moment as now, she dared not completely relax.

Of course Hachiman knew that her life was not easy. If there wasn't such a strong-looking woman guarding the house, he wouldn't dare to be so extravagant.

He kneaded Qingxue's shoulders, and perhaps it was too comfortable, she couldn't help but let out a sigh-like sound.

"You called me here suddenly because you want to talk about your daughter Yang Yan."

"Daughter? Even now, I am still worried."

She has never been an emotional person. Whether it is Yang No or Yukino, in addition to the blood connection, what is more important is that Qingxue watched them grow up bit by bit, and the deep mother-daughter relationship was formed after spending time and love.

But to her, Yukinoshita Kagerou was more like a sinister person with ulterior motives and the remaining shadow of his father Yuki.

She also told Hachiman her thoughts without hesitation.

"Tsk, your idea is wrong. Assuming that she has an ulterior motive and is unwilling to give her true heart, and is so cautious, how can you possibly develop a true relationship with her?"

"You, you make it sound easy, but when I was born, I thought Yukino was the only one. How can I accept it all at once?"

The husband concealed the fact that he was pregnant with twins with ulterior motives and raised one of the baby girls in secret. This was undoubtedly a blow to the mother.

Qingxue's breathing gradually became rapid, and Hachiman's hand slowly penetrated into the kimono at the shoulders.

"And...that girl made a request to me today..."

The president's speech gradually became less clear.

But the next moment, the door of the president's office was suddenly opened with a click, and Yukino's astonished face was revealed.

Chapter 31: The whole family is together

Hachiman and Kiyoyuki were both stunned, and his hand reached the collarbone inside the kimono, leaving almost no room for misunderstanding.

But they saw Yukino close the door of the president's office immediately after showing a momentary look of surprise, and then they heard the sound of conversation coming from outside the door.

"Why did you close the door suddenly?"

"You saw something dirty, you need to wash your eyes."

"Hmm? Weird."

Then the door of the president's office opened again. At this moment, the two sides were clearly separated by a line, and Hachiman was once again trained like a grandson.

Two sisters who looked almost identical came into the president's office. Yukino looked at her fiancé in surprise: "Hachiman-kun, why are you here?"

At this time, the two people who were just playing the filial piety trick of the mother-in-law and the son-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the sister next to Yukino smiling faintly.

It seems that whether we can rest assured is still unknown.

"I was the one who called Hachiman-kun over here. You sisters are all here, and Hachiman-kun is here too, so it's a good opportunity to explain everything all at once."

"Tell me clearly, what's the matter?" Yukino couldn't help but ask.

However, Qingxue, who was supposed to answer this question, looked at the daughter she had just adopted, as if waiting for her to speak, and seeing this, Hachiman and Yukino also cast their gazes on Kagero.

Kagerou smiled gracefully and said, "I want to represent the Yukinoshita family and participate in the election for county councillor."

The remaining three people had very different reactions, because Kagero had already revealed it to Hachiman before, and he had a general idea of ​​it. Kagero also seemed to have mentioned this request to Kiyoyuki, but when she said it now, her mother-in-law still frowned. Yukino was the most surprised, as she had never heard Kagero mention it before.

"This is impossible. Even if we don't cooperate with Miss Kaguya now, the votes of the Yukinoshita family should naturally be combined with Hachiman-kun in order to safely win the position of councilor." Yukino immediately raised a negative opinion.

When Yukino looked to her mother for support, she unexpectedly found that President Yukinoshita remained silent.

Then she looked at Hachiman, and the guy smiled at her, which made Yukino a little confused for a moment.

"Is it really a good idea to let the Yukinoshita family's votes help my brother-in-law in his election campaign?" Yang Yan said slowly.

Yukino was not stupid, she just lost her composure due to an accident just now. Now she came to her senses after being reminded by Yangyan.

"If I hadn't published my election manifesto, I might have been able to return to Yukinoshita's base, but now the effect is not ideal."

Hachiman directly stated that his political platform was not a convention for transferring local benefits, but was based on the concept of the freedom and rights of the pan-ACG group to attract common volunteers, most of whom were young otaku.

However, the main source of votes for the Yukinoshita family is the employees of the internal group. Hachiman's political platform has basically nothing to do with them. This kind of "liberalism" may even arouse the disgust of the older generation. Even if Kiyoyuki uses his prestige to force them to vote for Hachiman, even if he sits on the position of member of parliament, it will only result in self-destruction, which is not in the interests of the Yukinoshita family at all.

This also illustrates a fact that Hachiman's campaign and political career have actually long been decoupled from the Yukinoshita family.

Therefore, in fact, the Yukinoshita family is independent of the Hachiman and Shinomiya families, and running for election as a third-party force is also a possible way.

Not only does it highlight Yukinoshita's presence in the local area, it also serves as an insurance policy in the event that Hachiman loses the election.

Xueno looked at her sister, who had been acting cute and well-behaved since they met. This guy...

"I have two questions?" Yukino said.

"Sister, you say." Yang Yan smiled faintly, but the atmosphere between the two sides completely became a negotiation atmosphere rather than a conversation between family members.

"First of all, it's a question of identity. You've just returned to the Yukinoshita family. Even if you're running for election, how can you maximize and reasonably utilize the various connections of the Yukinoshita family?"

If a third young lady from the Yukinoshita family suddenly appeared and ran for election, it would only confuse the supporters.

"This is indeed a problem, so I don't plan to participate in the competition using my own identity, Sister Yukino."

"You're not thinking..." Yukino said in surprise.

"Yes, I plan to run for the council election as 'Yukinoshita Yukino'. It would be a good topic for an unmarried couple to compete for the council seat together."

"This..." Although Yukino felt it was a bit absurd, after thinking about it carefully, cleverly utilizing the identities of the twins was indeed a solution.

But at this time, Hachiman interrupted and said, "But this will cause another problem. We don't need you anymore. Can't Yukino just run for the election herself?"

Yang Yan looked at Hachiman, then at Yukino, her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts: "Brother-in-law's question is actually related to my second question."

Yukino frowned slightly: "Do you know what my second question is?"

"That's it. If I run for election, how can I be sure of being elected as a senator? If I simply use the votes of the Yukinoshita family, then what's the difference between my sister and me? And from the overall situation, it's just to disperse the votes. The votes of the Yukinoshita family itself will not be more than those of the Shinomiya family supported by the Kinjiang Society..."

Then, Yang Yan looked at everyone and said, "Because I am the leader of the Zunxing Sect, the Chiba branch of the Zunxing Sect itself has thousands of people that can be mobilized. The votes of the Yukinoshita family plus the votes of the Zunxing Sect teachers are enough to become a competitive force."

Xue Nai suddenly stood up: "You are lying, why are you the leader of Zun Xing Sect?"

But Yang Yan did not answer her sister's question. Instead, she gently pressed her finger to her lips, chuckled and said, "Secret."

However, Hachiman and Kiyoyuki already knew this.

"I have confessed my thoughts, so mother, can you agree with me?"

It feels a bit like forcing a palace, the whole situation is tense.

Although this is the option with the greatest benefits, Qingxue is concerned about Yangyan's background.

As for Yukino, she went to Kaguya in order to investigate the cause of her father's death and also because of family interests.

However, after a series of changes in the situation, the Yukinoshita family had a chance to reunite with Hachiman, but Kagero suddenly appeared for no reason.

Even though what she said was completely rational and in line with practical interests, Yukino found it emotionally difficult to accept.

There was a hint of helplessness in Yang Yan's eyes.

Then, everyone heard the sound of soft clapping of hands. It was Hachiman, who attracted the attention of the mother and two daughters, and eased the tense atmosphere a little.

"Now that we are all here, let's go shopping as a family." said Hachiman.

About the possible Spring Festival extra story

The Spring Festival is coming soon. Considering that the main storyline will be controversial, it doesn't really fit the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. So I want to write a Spring Festival extra. The heroine is Tuanzi's mother, and it will be written in a more relaxed and joyful tone (I'm still thinking about it for the time being, after all, this idea just popped up). Now I'd like to consult everyone's opinions. After all, the semi-extra story within a play has just ended. Continuing to write extras will affect the fluency of the main storyline to a certain extent. Everyone can give a like or a dislike in the post, and I'll see what everyone thinks.

rua, I forgot to post this thread and now I haven’t voted for it. I’ll put a vote at the top of the book review.

Chapter 32 Mother and Daughter

Hachiman stood up and looked at the mother and daughter who were arguing just now, but he did not smile playfully. Instead, he spoke with a slightly stern tone.

"I don't like it... No, I hate it when my family members talk to each other in such a penny-pinching tone. Do you want to exchange your identities as daughters and mothers for practical benefits? Think about why the Yukinoshita family has been able to stand until now."
