Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"I was just talking casually. Why do you take it so seriously? Have you awakened some weird fetish? I'm going to beat you up." Xiangzi remembered that this man was sometimes weird and couldn't help but complain.

"You are insulting my personality!" Hachiman protested as he picked up the lavender toenail polish.

"You know how that child feels about you." Xiangzi said calmly.

Hachiman raised his head and asked, "Why does it sound so weird when you say this?"

Although everyone actually knows it.

"In the past I could pretend not to see it, but now it seems meaningless. So, let me ask you, what do you think of that girl?" Xiangzi asked.

Hachiman sighed and said directly: "Although she has a foul mouth, drinks and likes to drive fast, she is a good girl."

"Don't talk about other things, you know what I mean." Xiangzi wanted to stand up, but Hachiman held her legs.

"Don't move. I'm not responsible if you smear it."

"Hmm..." Xiangzi continued to sit obediently.

Hachiman thought about it, then said, "It doesn't matter what I think. I won't touch her. This is my basic respect for you."

"What about my sister and Yukino, you little liar who always tells lies as you please." Xiangzi said in a doting tone.

Hachiman gave a helpless bitter smile, feeling touched in a sore spot. He said, "It is precisely because I fell down once that I don't want to make the same mistake again. At that time... Hey, let's not talk about this. Because of this, I still don't know how to talk to Yukino."

Xiangzi couldn't help but put her arm around Hachiman's shoulders and comforted him, "I also heard about what happened in the past from my sister. Although you made a mistake, you can't be blamed entirely. Who told me that my sister is weak? Then let me ask you, do you have no feelings for that girl, or do you dare not have any feelings?"

"Is there any difference? Don't ask such meaningless questions." Hachiman said in annoyance.

Then Xiangzi said: "I know the answer... If I disappear one day, don't look for me, don't feel any psychological burden, just take care of that girl."

This was what Fujiwara Kaori planned. She had no intention of letting Hachiman know anything, nor did she intend to let him see the ugliest side of herself in her life. She wanted to imprint her most beautiful side in his heart forever.

She paused for a moment, then said, "I allow it."

What is allowed? Some things do not need to be stated explicitly to make the meaning clear.

Well, no, I can’t play around anymore, I have to tell Kaori the truth, Hachiman thought.

Chapter 111 I will help you take care of the children in the future (reward plus more)

"Xiangzi, I'm telling you, don't let your imagination run wild. You're not sick."

Hachiman thought about it and decided to tell the truth. Otherwise, if this continued, Xiangzi, who was already quite literary, would probably fall into depression.

"You're the one who's sick." Xiangzi said directly.

??? Why are you cursing? No, there's something wrong with this script.

"Wait a minute, let me feel it. Do you know that you are not sick?" Hachiman said.

"Does this count as early menopause?" Xiangzi rolled her eyes at him.

"But why did you tell Shiyu that you had breast cancer?"

"I lied to her, and my stupid daughter believed it. Even a piece of barbecued pork is smarter than her."

Xiangzi looked down upon her daughter's IQ again and said, "You are such a contemptible mother."

"So the result of the physical examination that Qingxue and Lord Raikou took you for was..." Hachiman continued to ask.

Xiangzi looked at the young man with some pity and said, "I have been in the Imperial Palace for almost ten years. Although I don't take it seriously, I have seen all kinds of insidious tricks. How stupid must I be to believe their lies?"

Wow, it turns out that the hipsters are more cunning than a needle hole. Those two straightforward fools can't beat him in a battle of cunning.

"If that's the case, why are you still pretending to believe it?" Hachiman blew gently on her toenails, which were lavender, somewhat charming, and somewhat noble.

"Of course it's because I want to find a suitable reason to travel with you." Xiangzi leaned gently in front of him, and the remaining scent of the beautiful woman after bathing began to penetrate into Hachiman's nose and heart.

Damn, this sudden turn is so tempting.

"If that's the case, why did you say you would disappear? I don't like to hear it. And you encouraged Shiyu and tried to bring us together even though you knew you were not sick? I'm really going to be angry." Hachiman said with a straight face.

Xiangzi showed a seductive expression and said, "Then how does the master want to punish me?"

Hachiman suddenly realized that he was about to be overwhelmed, so he glared at her and said, "Be serious and speak properly."

Xiangzi smiled and said, "What if I say that I'm not joking?"

She really wanted to bring Hachiman and Shiwa together, even though she kept getting jealous and doing funny things along the way, she really wanted to pair them up.

"What about you?" Hachiman asked, holding her hand tightly.

"Me? Of course I am still Shiyu's mother." Xiangzi said as a matter of course.

Then Hachiman understood: "You want to take a step back."

What Qingxue and Lord Raikou said was really right. Xiangzi, who was already worried, had the idea of ​​"abdicating and letting the wise man take over" after learning about her daughter's thoughts.

Xiangzi lowered her head and said, "I won't really disappear, don't worry, I will just go out to travel occasionally, you and Shiyu just get along well, I will watch over you as usual, if sometimes you really want me to..., kissing the cheek is considered as the etiquette between relatives, okay."

She was like a child who hoped her parents would buy expensive toys. She knew that it would make her parents embarrassed, but she still wanted it, so she felt ashamed and was cautious.

Now she only wanted to watch over them like a family member.

"I will take care of your children in the future, okay?" Xiangzi shook Hachiman's hand coquettishly.

But his face still smells a bit stinky.

"Well, if it's not a kiss on the cheek, but an occasional kiss on the lips, and Shiyu doesn't see it, I can barely accept it, okay?"

The conditions that I had originally thought of gradually retreated amid the other party's silence and expressionless expression.

"So, why is that?" Hachiman asked angrily.

What do you think of the relationship between you and me? Do you really think I'm a scumbag with no moral integrity or bottom line?

Well, it seems he is.

"I feel inferior." Xiangzi said sullenly.

"Ah..." Hachiman was a little surprised.

"I said, I feel inferior." Xiangzi said angrily.

"Although you always say that I am your partner, when we walk together with Shiyu, everyone will think that you and her are a pair. I can't ignore other people's gazes like my sister and Lord Raikou, and that girl really likes you, so..."

Xiangzi shook Hachiman's wrist again and pleaded in a soft voice: "Promise me, I won't lose my temper anymore, I will definitely match you and Shiyu well, and I promise I won't be jealous in the future."

In his heart, Hachiman wanted to grab this woman and spank her. She was really thoughtful, but he couldn't completely ignore Xiangzi's feelings. After all, unlike Qingxue, Xiangzi couldn't help but care about other people's eyes.

The inferiority complex caused by the age difference will not disappear just by him saying a few sweet words.

Furthermore, forcing her would probably only have the opposite effect, and would only allow the emotion to slowly dissipate.

"How about I make a bet with you?" Hachiman said softly.

"Bet?" Xiangzi asked curiously.

"I won't deny your idea outright because you're too stubborn. So let's give it a try. Before leaving Kamakura, I will do as you said and try to get closer to Shiyu. If you can really endure and watch over us as you said, I will consider your idea for a while."

Hachiman was cautious in his words. In fact, he had no intention of accepting it. It was just a delaying tactic. When Xiangzi couldn't stand it anymore, she would naturally abandon this inexplicable idea.

I'm really smart.

"I, I understand. Don't underestimate me. You little brat, do you really think I like you so much?"

The rain stopped and then the sky cleared up, and Xiangzi felt that she was fine again.

Although I didn't agree to her directly, the result was unexpectedly good.

As a result, Hachiman stretched out his voice and said, "But, don't you think that if I agree to this, you should give me some advance payment?"

It's just the so-called second success.

"What do you want?" Xiangzi said with some concern. If he made any requests that went beyond the limit, should she agree to it, or refuse and then agree to it.

"Put out your hand." Hachiman said.

This guy couldn't be trying to do something weird with his hands, so Xiangzi stretched out her hand hesitantly.

The guy was rubbing his white and tender fingers. When she opened her eyes, she found that he was painting her nail polish with the same bottle.

Apply carefully.

Hachiman said, "It would be awkward if you painted your toenails but not your fingernails. I won't be able to paint them for you in the next few days, so I'll paint your fingernails first. Also, this lavender color suits you very well."

Xiangzi looked at Hachiman who was applying nail polish with his head down and pursed her lips.

Damn it, she felt reluctant before it even started.

Author's words: Thanks to "举个栗子?" for the 100 blades and other readers for the tip. More chapters are here.

Chapter 112: Hachiman-kun painted it for me, do you have it?

When Shiyu returned to the hotel mysteriously, she happened to meet Hachiman humming a song as he came out of his mother's room.

The girl showed a suspicious expression: "I say, you didn't do anything strange to mom while I was away, did you?"

"You mean, about having children?" Hachiman asked bluntly.

“Waaaaaaah…I don’t want to listen to it.” Then Shiyu herself couldn’t stand it anymore.

"I didn't do it." Hachiman said.

The Chinese teacher praised my skillful use of inversion sentences.

"You can't get along without teasing me, right?" Shiyu said in a muffled voice.

He waved and left: "Who told you to have such a cute reaction? By the way, you took a long time to shower just now."

"Well, I'm not going to take a shower. I borrowed a set of clothes from a friend and will give you a surprise at the basketball game tomorrow." Shiyu said mysteriously.

Although Hachiman wanted to ask what the surprise was, the other party probably wouldn't answer her.

However, Hachiman found that she seemed to be sweating profusely, and there seemed to be some dust on her body, but her eyes were bright and became even more beautiful.

"Is your hand scratched?" Hachiman asked.

There was a small cut on Shiyu's hand: "Oh, I'll take care of it later. I was careless just now..."

"That's weird." Hachiman said and went back to his room.

Shiyu watched the young man leave, then walked into her mother's room and found her carefully blowing the nail polish she had just applied.

The girl sarcastically said, "It's childish to still paint your nails at such an age."

Xiangzi glanced at her and said, "Hachiman-kun applied it to me, do you have it?"

"You are looking for death, you are sick!" Shiyu said excitedly.

Xiangzi put down her arm that was showing off, and then said: "So you have to work hard to snatch Hachiman-kun from me."

Shi Yu sneered and said, "That being said, I don't know who is causing trouble. I can smell the vixen's stench from two meters away."

She still remembers what happened on the beach today.

Xiangzi blew on her nails gently and said, "Who told me that I was born with a beautiful appearance and I can't give up. If I were in ancient times, I would have been a beautiful concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people. It's true that beauties have always had a short life."

"I...I've never seen anyone so shameless." Shiyu couldn't resist the other party's conceit.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. There is one thing I want to make clear. If Hikigaya-kun wins the basketball game, I will take the spot for the Son of the Sea." Shiyu said directly.

"No problem." Xiangzi agreed casually.

Shi Yu was suspicious: "Could it be that he said he agreed, but when the day came, he insisted on going up there himself?"

In fact, after today, Xiangzi's credit value has fallen below negative in her eyes.

"Silly girl." Looking at the cautious girl, Xiangzi, as a mother, suddenly said in a doting tone.

Shiyu felt confused and heart-wrenching after hearing these words.

Xiangzi said, "How many years have we not had fun together like this?"

She narrowed her eyes slightly and talked about the past.

"Stop kidding me, you've never taken me out to play before, there's nothing you can remember." Shiyu complained.

"Hey, I took you to the park when you were little, right?" Xiangzi retorted somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Hahaha, it's not that bad. I was in the park, building castles in the sand pool with other kids. Then I saw a bookstore nearby, so I ran in. At dusk, other parents picked up their children and went home for dinner. I watched the children go home one by one with their parents. In the end, I was the only one left, and I had to walk home by myself." From then on, she despaired of Xiangzi's motherly side.

"Oh, no wonder I only remembered that I left you in the sandpit when I came home after buying books that day. But when I got home, you were already watching TV on the sofa. My daughter is so smart." Xiangzi praised.

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" Shiyu rolled her eyes at her.

"You are really stupid. I am not qualified to be a mother. I am sorry for letting you suffer so many unpleasant things since childhood." Her hand gently stroked the girl's cheek.
