Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Lady Shinjo Akane, please be sure to take off your stockings first." Hachiman pleaded painfully.

Damn KFC, damn the original batch.

"Haha, no, I'm hungry." Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and playing hard to get are the basic qualities of a top trainer.

The sharp-tongued maid stepped on Hachiman like a queen and said, "So, is it the master who should go to receive it or should I?"

Suddenly, Hachiman saw that he was only left with his shorts. If he went out to get takeout, people would probably call the police.

"Of course this kind of work is the responsibility of Meidou." Hachiman said as if shirking responsibility.

"I only provide services that make my master happy. I won't do this kind of housework unless..."

She blew gently on her fingernails.

This little bitch... Listening to the increasingly impatient doorbell ring, Hachiman said, "What do you want?"

"I want the new Gaigula figure from Tsuburaya's Zeta." The little girl finally revealed her ambition.

"Does ordering takeout require so many thoughts?" Hachiman showed an expression of admiration. What on earth does this guy look like? Why does he have so many thoughts?

Seeing Hachiman nod helplessly, the victorious Akane Shinjo opened the door humming a little tune.

But what surprised Xin Tiao Qian was that the person standing outside was not a delivery man in uniform, but a sassy woman in jeans and a printed shirt, with a stern heroic look on her face and a unique charm.

"Hikigaya, my hometown sent me some pickled radish... Come over... Who are you?"

Kudo Mika, who had just woken up, felt a little embarrassed to eat Hachiman's meal for free, so she brought a jar of hand-pickled radish to give to Hachiman. Then she saw a petite maid with white silk stockings who seemed not to be very old. Due to her professional habit, Kudo Mika was very good at observing people. When she was a detective, she naturally came into contact with all kinds of people.

This little girl has a strong charm in her eyes, and there is only one type of person who has such temperament at this age.

"Police, come and check the room!" Kudo Mika, who felt angry for some reason, shouted and rushed in. Then she saw a man in his shorts lying on the ground eating potato chips.

"Ah, police..." Akane Shinjo seemed very panicked.

"Master, the police have broken in, I...I..." He was so scared that he seemed unable to move.

“???” Hachiman had a head full of question marks. The police are checking the room. Are you kidding me?

"Hikigaya Hachiman, I now have reason to suspect that you have had an improper relationship with an underage girl. You have the right to remain silent, but what you say will become evidence in court." Kudo Mika said it smoothly, reminding Hachiman of the tension when he first met her.

Seeing her angry look, he remembered his unrestrained postmodern style of dressing. Then he glanced at Akane Shinjo who was watching the fun and knew what was going on. This was because Kudo suspected that he was looking for the girl with round corners.

Hachiman glared at Shinjo Akane, but the sharp-tongued maid stuck out her tongue nonchalantly.

"Since you're here, why not stay for lunch, Kudo?" Hachiman said nonchalantly. Just as he was about to find clothes to put on, he heard Akane Shinjo say in a cold voice.

"I told you not to wear it today. Don't try to get away with it." Xin Tiao Qian said again.

Hachiman snorted, okay, he did mean that, which made Kudo Mika a little confused.

About ten minutes later, the KFC meal was finally delivered, and Kudo Mika said while biting a fried chicken leg.

"In other words, you and Akane Shinjo are old acquaintances, and you rescued her when you saw her being molested by some hooligans while running, and since she ran away from home, you lent her your place to stay?"

Kudo Mika looked at Hachiman, who was still only wearing shorts, and sighed. It was not that she did not believe him, this guy might do bad things, but he would not lie. In other words, she had no right to make him lie.

But I'm still angry.

Kudo turned to ask Akane Shinjo: "Little sister, where are your family members?"

"I don't have any family." Xin Tiao Qian smiled sweetly.

This little girl is not an easy character to deal with, and her words are full of hidden ulterior motives.

"Then why are you only wearing a pair of large shorts? Don't you think this affects your appetite?" asked Kudo Mika.

But before Hachiman could explain, Shinjo Akane interrupted, "We were playing a passionate fighting game just now, and the master lost too much, so he got excited and took off his clothes."

Hachiman has already given up. No matter what Kudo Mika thinks, damn it, the image of a reformed warm-hearted man that he just established yesterday is completely ruined.

He replied in a bored tone, "Want to play together? Hot-blooded fighting."

Kudo Mika was somewhat sensitive enough to sense something hidden under Shinjo Akane's smile, and responded, "Okay."

Chapter 11: Claiming Sovereignty

After all, Hachiman still didn't have the courage to play "Hot Blood Fighting" in front of the former detective, for fear that he would be kicked away by the female detective who hated evil. Although she is no longer a police officer, she must have many old friends in the Metropolitan Police Department.

In fact, he himself did not expect that he could get along with Kudo Mika so well without any grudges, and completely let go of what happened in Chiba before.

Sure enough, properly resolving Yukino's issue brought about a huge change in myself.

In the past, he had to be on his toes all the time, fearing that his plan to weave a fairy tale for Yukino might change, so naturally he didn't have that much leeway.

Now he felt a bit like a student who had just finished the college entrance examination, and he played the fighting game normally with Kudo Mika.

"Don't you have to go to work today?" Hachiman asked.

"Well, I'll go there later today...Okay, this way, dynamic light wave, I win."

Kudo Mika shouted, with a rather smug tone.

Hachiman looked at Kudo and said, "Have you ever played this game before?"

"Oh, no, it's quite interesting." After all, she is a female detective and her reaction nerves are first-rate.

He made a "tsk" sound and had to admit the regrettable fact that he was just a vegetable.

"Again." But he was addicted.

"I'm afraid you can't." Kudo raised his head slightly.

"Uncle, I'm hungry." Xin Tiao Qian shouted.

"Isn't there still fried chicken?" He operated the handle, his mind on the monitor.

"But it's all cold. Where's your wallet? I'll go to the convenience store."

"It's inside your pants, take it yourself." He didn't even look at it.

Akane Shinjo silently took out her wallet from her pants and left.

"I say, is it really okay?" said the somewhat outspoken Kudo, biting a relish stick and beating up Hachiman's Gaia.

"What do you mean it doesn't matter?" Hachiman asked a little dully.

"It's this little girl. She was unhappy just now, probably because of me." Although she said so, Kudo Mika didn't seem to feel embarrassed.

"Idiot, she and I are not in that kind of relationship, and that guy is a lesbian." I lost another game, I'm so angry.

"You are the idiot. I am a woman after all, and I can still distinguish the hostility of the same sex." Kudo rolled his eyes at him.

"Haha, you're such a rough-minded person?" Hachiman complained.

"...Indeed, Shirai Shou, do you remember? That guy liked me for almost five years, but I never knew it."

By the time you find out, it's already too late, Kudo said somewhat dejectedly.

"Sorry," was all he could say with a frank apology.

"Idiot, haven't I already forgiven you? Besides, I was not innocent in Chiba's matter to begin with." Kudo shrugged and said.

Although she said it lightly, Hachiman didn't think that Kudo would let go of the hurt she had suffered so easily, otherwise she would not have resigned.

But Hachiman was the only one who didn't know what to say, so he returned to the topic of Shinjo Akane.

"I think that guy neither likes me nor hates you. He just feels that you have invaded his territory."

Judging from Akane Shinjo's personality, she is extremely shy and hates strangers. In fact, she just lacks a sense of security.

"Just like a puppy would pee in its territory to declare its territory?" Kudo's example was a bit offensive, but it made Hachiman laugh.

Just as Akane Shinjo would never like Kudo, women would never like women who are inexplicably hostile to them.

Seeing that Akane Shinjo had not returned yet, Hachiman told Kudo about picking her up yesterday, including how she was harassed by gangsters and almost raped.

Soon, Kudo's expression became serious and he couldn't help but ask.

"You said those blond men mentioned that they were members of the 'Moriyama Group'?"

"That's what he said."

"Although we cannot rule out the possibility that the guy just used the name of the gang to scare people, but this place is not far from Kabukicho, so we should be careful."

"So what is the origin of this 'Moriyama Group'? Both of your eyebrows are wrinkled." Hachiman said with a smile.

Seeing Hachiman's smile, Kudo immediately relaxed a little and almost forgot the identity of the person in front of him.

Although he is hiding his identity in this half-dilapidated apartment, in terms of status, he is already a member of the noble family and controls the largest family in Chiba. On the surface, he is also the helmsman of a rising high-tech enterprise, while the declining gangs in Japan are at most the chamber pots of politicians.

But precisely because of this, if Hachiman were to capsize or have any accident here, it would be too late to regret even if the gangsters were crushed to ashes, so he still needed to be reminded.

"The Moriyama Group was originally one of the dozens of gangs in Kabukicho. It was only of medium size. After all, it has only been 30 to 40 years since its establishment. There are many well-known gangs in Kabukicho that have been famous since before the war. However, the leader, Moriyama Matachiro, is also a great man. He was a minority in Hokkaido and fought hard to become a well-known boss in Tokyo. However, it is said that he will hand over the baton to his only son in the next two years..."

"You seem to know a lot about it?" Hachiman asked.

"Well, you are a former detective after all. You know that Kabukicho is a crime-ridden area. They say that violent gangs are taking the initiative to maintain law and order. You have seen too many marketing accounts... Hey, don't interrupt me." Kudo said dissatisfiedly.

Hachiman held out his hand, signaling you to continue.

"But the Moriyama Group has suddenly become more powerful in the past two years. They often fight with other gangs for territory in Kabukicho, and poach many people from other gangs. In addition to collecting protection fees, they also started businesses such as filming small films... It is rumored that they have the capital to expand their power because they are involved in the narcotics trade. In fact, they have been targeted by the Narcotics Control Department, but no evidence has been found yet."

"In the past, the Moriyama Group rarely had such a bad thing as raping and kidnapping girls in the street. It was probably the work of the new recruit. But you have to be careful, because it is because of these scoundrels who don't know the rules that they are prone to extreme actions."

In fact, there are shadows of violent gangs behind many of Japan's pornographic film industries. Many female Us did not enter the industry voluntarily but were induced by violent gangs to borrow high-interest loans and could not pay them back, so they were forced into the industry by violent gangs. In particular, there are many graduates of girl groups such as A*B4*, who are simply ideal targets for violent gangs.

I guess what the yellow-haired guy wanted to do was to take Akane Shinjo to shoot a short movie.

What about chivalry, benevolence, and loyalty? Whether it is in games or film and television dramas, Japan has no shortage of works that whitewash violent gangs.

The gangster boss plays a cute contrast, as if each fierce Yakuza is a clumsy guy who is fierce on the outside but gentle on the inside.

If you really believe these things and forget the illegal and criminal nature of the gangs, then dying is a stupid death.

Chapter 12 Tea Master

After Akane Shinjo came out with Hachiman's wallet, her face looked unhappy. To be honest, getting along with Hikigaya Hachiman was unexpectedly pleasant, including his reactions and chattering, and his deliberate cooperation when she "abused" him, all seemed so natural.

But when the policewoman came, she almost took away all of Hikigaya Hachiman's attention, making her feel like her territory was being invaded.

She had not forgotten her purpose, so the policewoman was a threat.

When they arrived at the 711 closest to the old apartment, the male clerk was stunned for a moment by the sight of Akane Shinjo's maid outfit, but he quickly regained his professional attitude.

"welcome."

Looking at the petite and plump girl, the male clerk's heart beat faster.

"Please give me a box of Okamoto 01." Akane Shinjo said with a smile.

Then, he broke up, and the male clerk handed a box of condoms to Xin Tiao Qian with a disappointed look on his face.

A person like her who is good at seeing through people's minds can naturally judge what a man is thinking from his reaction.

It seemed that the negative emotions that Shinjo Akane had been accumulating in her heart because of the policewoman finally had a place to vent.

She took out a men's wallet and handed out a black card of extraordinary quality. She said, "Can I pay with the card?"

"Ah... Ok, sure." Although few people would use a bank card to buy something.

As if to show off his noble black credit card, the male clerk took out the POS machine with mixed feelings.

Shinjo Akane took Okamoto 01 in her hand and played with it, saying in a bored tone: "So these uncles are really annoying. They like to play this kind of boring game, making people wet, and then asking them to come back to buy balloons. Haha, it's really a bad taste."

There was a look of sadism in Akane Shinjo's eyes as she looked at the silent and even depressed male clerk.

She knew that she could easily impress men, so when a man who liked her heard these words, how would he be hit?

"Give me a pack of Marlboros, please."

Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard. Akane Shinjo looked over and found that it was indeed Kudo Mika.

"Oh, please wait a moment." The clerk placed the black card in front of Xin Tiao Qian and turned to get a cigarette from the cigarette cabinet.

Shinjo Akane's face turned a little ugly. After Kudo Mika got the cigarette, she paid for it and said to the girl.

"Hikigaya asked me to call you back. He kept his promise to you... and he's still wearing his shorts."

Akane Shinjo hid Okamoto 01 in her pocket to prevent the policewoman from seeing it, and turned and left.

Kudo followed behind her, but what he didn't tell Akane Shinjo was that after Hachiman heard her explanation of the Moriyama Group, he was a little worried about Akane Shinjo who was going out alone, so he asked her to follow him out.

Without the man around, Akane Shinjo didn't seem to hide her dislike for Kudo and just walked forward.

"I say, is this how you usually hurt other people's kindness toward you?"

Suddenly, Kudo Mika, who had been behind her, spoke in a lazy voice.
