Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

But even if he wakes up now, Minamoto no Raikou will try to divorce him or let him continue to sleep.

The more I thought about it, the more the idea of ​​having a child lingered in my mind.

By the way, does this count as paying a large sum of money to have a child?

But she was still Her Royal Highness the Princess after all, representing the dignity of the Genji clan and the royal family. If the prince was still in bed, her bulging belly would be too ugly, and the matter of giving birth to a child needed some planning.

Although she is aware of her human attributes and that she is abnormal, once she has a goal, her motivation becomes very strong. Compared to ideals such as politics, the future of the country, and people's lives, what Minamoto no Raikou holds on to is very simple and clear, which is family affection. This concept of blood or love is the source of her strength.

"Sure enough, it was a bit hasty to position myself as a 'mother'." Her Royal Highness the Princess was rarely distressed.

But she soon put her worries aside. As the daughter of the Wu family, she was more accustomed to expressing her attitude through actions rather than using her brain.

She walked slowly along the red carpeted corridor and came to the room of Kato Megumi and her daughter. Although she was planning on having a baby, she did not neglect taking care of little Mei. Now she came to discuss the child's vaccination.

She knocked on the door gently, but no one responded. She found it a little strange. This child was too caring about the people around her, so she would respond immediately whenever someone called her.

Could something have happened? Minamoto no Raikou raised his eyebrows slightly, and the door was locked.

She bent her waist slightly, pressed her palm on the lock, and gripped the ground with her ten toes, as if she was going to use a short-distance force to break the hard door lock directly.

But before she could really break the lock, Kato Megumi opened the door herself. The girl raised her head slightly, her eyes a little moist.

"I'm sorry, Raikou mom, Mei just vomited some milk, and Mr. Hikigaya and I were in a hurry to take care of it."

"Oh, oh, is everything okay? Do we need Dr. Aizaki to come over and take a look?" Minamoto no Raikou asked.

The girl's face was just a little flushed, and she quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's been dealt with now."

After saying this, she lowered her head slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

This child has grown up completely after giving birth to the baby.

After all, she was not an evil mother-in-law, and she did not intend to expose the young couple's bedroom happiness and embarrass Kato Megumi.

However, thinking about what happened just now, Minamoto no Raikou's desire to become a mother became more and more urgent.

At this time, Hachiman slowly walked out holding Meiyi, and he was stunned for a moment.

Kato Megumi also felt that the atmosphere at this moment was too ambiguous, so she picked up the child, gave him a somewhat unpleasant look, and left the room.

This subtle expression is generally called coquettishness.

"Kyouko's expressions have become much richer now, compared to when I first met her," Minamoto no Raikou said with a sigh.

"Perhaps this is the subtlety of being a mother. Of course, acquired development is also very important."

Because Hachiman mentioned it casually, Xiaohui was really worried that her cold personality would be passed on to her daughter, so she learned to express her emotions more richly.

"Acquired development?" Minamoto no Raikou asked curiously.

"In fact, it is to let Xiaohui receive more sensory stimulation, so that her expressions will naturally become richer."

"Sensory stimulation... Come here and let me smell your breath." Minamoto no Raikou called out to the guy.

Hachiman was somewhat reluctant. Whatever he and Xiaohui did together was considered as their own private enjoyment, but it would be embarrassing if Her Royal Highness the Princess knew about it.

However, under Minamoto no Raikou's repeated urging, Hachiman still blew gently in front of her nose.

Her Royal Highness the Princess snorted slowly, and it was unclear whether she was blaming him for his mischief or whether she felt a sour feeling in her heart.

He no longer paid attention to Hachiman and followed Kato Megumi to the rest area in the courtyard. There was green grass all around. The maintenance of the grass here was expensive. Of course, this was also included in the operating expenses of the royal family. There was no need to worry about Minamoto no Raikou spending his own money. The operating expenses of the royal family were also allocated by Congress, which meant that it was all taxpayers' money.

However, compared to the fact that the Congress spent 7.2 billion yen to develop a useless app, Minamoto no Raikou felt that he was actually very frugal.

Now there is only a resting area in the atrium consisting of a few parasols and tables below. It looks a bit simple. After all, in the past this was just a place for her to take a short rest after practicing martial arts.

She thought of expanding the atrium so that Kato Megumi could be more comfortable when bringing her children out to bask in the sun.

Soon the servants brought up the snacks. Kato Megumi was of course playing with Mei, while Hachiman was watching the news on his mobile phone, but his expression was a little more serious.

Minamoto no Raikou couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong, Hachiman-kun?"

Hachiman silently turned the phone around to show her.

"The Shijo Group's large entertainment ecosystem is making further efforts to invest in Jess Tentacle Nerve Entertainment?"

"What is this?" Minamoto no Raikou asked.

Hachiman smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. This may be good news for me. The invincible Shinomiya family in the past two years is not doing well. The Shijo multinational group has returned from overseas and started to snipe the Shinomiya family from all directions. And it seems that the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office's Special Investigation Department is behind it."

Although the grudges between the Shinomiya and Shijo families were only rumors, the muddier the waters in the Shinomiya family, the more beneficial it would be for Hachiman.

After all, what he is best at is fishing in troubled waters. If the Shigong family has neither external worries nor internal troubles, wouldn't they be able to free up their hands to deal with him, the prospective son-in-law?

The evidence is that he and Shinomiya Kaguya have been "married" for two months, but the Shinomiya family has not shown any signs of making a statement. Combined with what Hayasaka Nao said, perhaps his value to the Shinomiya family is greater than imagined.

Chapter 49: Moonlit Night

It's past eight o'clock in the evening, and the night is getting darker. In this palace full of lush greenery, the sonata of insects can be heard at night.

Kato Megumi took the child to rest, and Hachiman held a piece of paper with Minamoto no Raikou's handwriting on it, which read "Come to the wine cellar to find me after dinner" in beautiful penmanship.

To be honest, he really didn't know that the Gong family had such a thing as a wine cellar. However, after all, he usually moved around in the rooms on the second floor, the hall on the first floor, and the lawn outside. The cold feeling created by a house that is too big would hinder others from exploring.

Perhaps even this aspect has been taken into consideration, and there is even a map of the route to the wine cellar on the back of the paper.

He went downstairs. In a house like this, if the dark lights were turned off at night, then walking here with an oil lamp would turn it into a classic castle setting in horror movies.

Hachiman walked through the hall along the route drawn on the paper, and was surprised to see a secret passage from an inconspicuous corner. Wow, is it true that a dark room is standard in such aristocratic building?

He walked down the stairs and came to an ancient mahogany gate. He gently knocked on the iron ring on the lion relief on the wooden door, but there was no response.

So Hachiman pushed the door hard, and unexpectedly it was not locked. But after pushing it open, he thought he had come to the wrong place.

The crystal chandeliers covering the ceiling diffused the bright yellow light throughout the "cellar", exuding a warm touch. In addition, a wide variety of wine bottles filled the bar and the wine cabinet, making him feel as if he had arrived at a high-end bar that was about to open.

Hachiman slowly walked into the wine cellar which was decorated as a cozy bar, and the owner of the wine cellar was sitting on a chair at the bar.

"Welcome to my private bar "Oboro", you are the first guest here."

The owner of this bar, Princess Minamoto no Raikou, spoke in a soft voice. At this moment, she was dressed very strangely. Putting this aside, Hachiman was more interested in the name of this bar.

"hazy?"

"It's hazy like the moon, and psychedelic like a dream. Perhaps it will disappear the next day after you leave here. What else could it be but hazy?"

For a moment, Hachiman thought he was dreaming. After all, the dazzling lights here, and the beauty in front of him, who was different from usual and somewhat seductive.

Fujiwara Kaori likes to wear purple, but the purple she wears can easily be misunderstood as black, making it difficult for people to approach her.

But the Minamoto no Raikou in front of him was different. The cheongsam dyed violet wrapped around the princess's graceful and exaggerated figure. The light fell on the expensive silk dress, emitting a dazzling luster. This was charming purple.

"King..." But before he could say anything, Minamoto no Raikou gently pressed his lips with his fingers and then said.

"Tonight I am just Raikou, Hachiman-kun, just for now, don't put other shackles on me."

Although Hachiman didn't understand, he still obeyed obediently. It was because Minamoto no Raikou's devilish aura seemed to suffocate people, and he couldn't refuse her request.

Sitting at the bar, Minamoto no Raikou poured him a glass of amber liquid, added a piece of ice, and placed a small plate of nuts on the bar as snacks.

"Rai...Raikou, what's wrong with you tonight? You seem a little different." Hachiman asked.

"Today is my birthday." Minamoto no Raikou said softly.

Hachiman said "Ah" in surprise, and then quickly said: "Why didn't you tell me, otherwise I could prepare a gift for you in advance."

The beautiful princess just chuckled and said, "After a woman turns thirty, her birthday is no longer a blessing."

"Who said that? A woman's beauty is not just in her youthful appearance. The charm brewed over the years is like this glass of aged wine. The more you taste it, the sweeter it becomes."

Hachiman gently sipped the wine in his glass.

Minamoto no Raikou's eyes were a little hazy, as if he was drunk, or maybe he was just intoxicated. He said, "Did you rely on your honeyed mouth to get so many good women into your pocket?"

No matter how stupid Hachiman was, he would not answer this question directly. Instead, he said, "In my heart, you have always remained as the dashing figure who bravely rescued me under the horse's hooves."

Just like the Valkyrie in Norse mythology, Minamoto no Raikou is the Valkyrie in his heart.

The tipsy Minamoto no Raikou's eyes became even more charming. She whispered, "But in fact, I am not as pure, flawless, and brave as you think."

Watch her sip a glass of wine and talk about the past.

"My father only had me as his daughter, but he wanted an heir. I even knew he had several other women outside. But I don't blame him because I know how heavy the pressure of the word 'source' was on him. In the end, his wish was dashed, and he turned his attention to me again, unconsciously raising me as a man."

"Bending the bow and shooting arrows, riding a horse, I am truly skilled in archery and horseback riding, the kind that could have been sent to the battlefield in ancient times. As a warrior, all the talents are gathered in me. In order not to disappoint my father, I have always regarded myself as the 'daughter of a warrior family'. I also took the historical ancestor Minamoto no Raikou as an example, and even changed my name to Guang."

Therefore, in this generation, Genji raised a woman who was more powerful and heroic than any man.

If she were a man, she would probably be able to ask Genji to leave the Shinomiya family behind, revive the reputation of the noble family, and even have the hope of achieving the glory of becoming the most prestigious family.

It’s a pity that she is a woman, a woman.

Minamoto no Raikou gently looked at Hachiman, stroked his face, and said, "My father taught me a lot, archery, swordplay, military tactics, Buddhism, but in the end, he just wanted me to get married, to marry the Crown Prince, so what was my hard work and self-control for the past eighteen years? Was it just like flower arrangement, to add added value when getting married?"

But in the end she did not resist and married into the royal family obediently.

This is her obligation as a Chinese, so she will do it even if she is reluctant.

Minamoto no Raikou looked at Hachiman and said with a smile: "I saved you so decisively at the beginning. Wasn't it the manifestation of my subconscious desire to resist my father's decision? I'm sorry, Hachiman-kun, I saved you, but the rebellious period of youth came a little late."

Hachiman remained silent and said nothing, because he knew that she just needed a qualified listener now.

What's more, he didn't think so at all. He always judged the actions first and then the heart. No matter what she thought at the beginning, the fact was that she saved him. For Hachiman, that was enough.

She was even cruelly punished for this. Ten years of meditation and following the Buddha's teachings. How many decades can a woman have in her life?

"Hachiman-kun, when you brought me out, you told me that you would let me see a wider world, a world wider than that temple. You did it, and now I am very happy every day."

Hachiman shook his head and said, "There will be more happy things in the future."

Suddenly, Minamoto no Raikou looked at him, then gently kissed his forehead and said, "Just today, happy things are not enough."

Chapter 50: ** in India

The next day, Hachiman got up a little late. When he went downstairs, Kato Megumi was already having breakfast. Minamoto no Raikou was holding the child, trying to feed little Mei some liquid food, but the little guy kept leaning against Minamoto no Raikou's chest, which made Her Royal Highness the Princess smile.

"Mei-chan, I can't feed you now."

Then patiently feed the rice porridge into the child's mouth.

"Good morning," Hachiman greeted, pulling out a stool.

Kato Megumi nodded gently, and Minamoto no Raikou raised his head and looked at Hachiman with a softer gaze.

Hachiman recalled the dream-like scene from yesterday. To be honest, he wasn't sure if it was a dream or not. After all, he seemed to have drunk some alcohol and was in his own bed when he woke up.

"Good morning, Hachiman-kun." Minamoto no Raikou said softly.

Hachiman bowed his head, then said, "Your Highness, when will the bar open next time?"

"Bar?" Kato Megumi asked.

"Ah, Your Highness took me to a very nice bar yesterday. I'll take you with me next time when the time is right." Hachiman said with a smile.

Kato Megumi didn't notice anything strange, so she nodded.

Minamoto no Raikou turned his head slightly, his face lightly stained with rouge, and after a while he said: "That is a place that can only be opened on a special day."

"That's such a pity." Hachiman sighed while eating breakfast.

After breakfast, they rested for a while. Normally, Minamoto no Raikou and Hachiman would have their daily sparring, but Lord Raikou was unusually unwell today, so the two adults and one child sat in the corridor and watched Hachiman perform a set of Eight-Section Brocade, which he even taught to Kato Megumi. It is good to move the body in the morning, so they entered the retirement mode early.

The only thing is that today's weather is not really good. The sky is cloudy and sunny, which makes people feel a little irritable.

This little girl is not really difficult to take care of. For example, she seldom wakes up and makes noises at night. Occasionally, she wakes up and cries in the middle of the night, but it is mostly because her diaper is wet. After she is changed, she falls into a deep sleep quickly, just like now. After getting tired of playing, Hachiman held her and sat in the corridor in a daze.

"You really have become a full-time dad." A voice sounded softly, surprising Hachiman. He turned around and saw a black-haired, red-eyed girl standing behind him, holding an expensive sandalwood fan with an embossed pattern in her hand.

Behind her, a maid with blonde hair tied in a side ponytail stood behind her.

"Shigong...why are you here?" he said with a slightly surprised voice.

But Kaguya said with some dissatisfaction: "I am your official wife after all, what do you mean by 'Why are you here?'? What kind of words are you talking about!"

"Oh, ahhh, there's such a thing... Hey, don't come over here, Meiyi-chan is still sleeping."

Seeing that Kaguya Shinomiya wanted to run over and teach him a lesson, the scumbag father quickly used his daughter as a shield.

Kaguya rolled her eyes naturally, but she was still quite interested in the child. She sat next to Hachiman and looked closely at her husband's illegitimate daughter... Well, legally speaking, they didn't actually get a marriage certificate, they just had the wedding banquet first.

However, children's charm is infinite. Just when Kaguya looked at her, the little girl opened her eyes, blinked her dark eyes, and bubbles appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"So cute, how could this happen, this child is so cute, Hayasaka, come and take a look."

"Forget it. I'm not sensitive to children." Hayasaka Ai gently rejected Kaguya's request.

Then the girl seemed to have forgotten the purpose of coming here and just focused on teasing the children until lunch time when Kato Megumi came to call them to eat.
