Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Am I dreaming... Yukino?" He couldn't help but tremble softly. If the devil appeared in front of him and asked him what he would give in exchange for seeing his deceased wife, he would probably say the whole world.

He couldn't help but hold Yukino (?) in his arms. Although ghosts are generally considered to be terrifying things, when Yukino just passed away, he hoped that his wife would turn into a ghost, even to seek revenge on him.

"I... don't know what happened, but when I woke up, I just knew that I was possessed by Yangyan, and I could only come out after she fell asleep at night. I would be forced to fall asleep before dawn at the latest, so I wrote down a note to guide Yangyan to find you." As she spoke, Yukino's tears began to flow again.

Hachiman's nose began to feel sore. He didn't want to doubt the authenticity of this matter. In other words, even if it was fake, it would be nice to be able to live in this dream here.

Hachiman wiped away his wife's tears, and Yukino seemed to realize something, so she whispered in his ear.

"If you still have doubts, I can tell you a secret that only the two of us know. That is, when we were intimate for the first time, you accidentally..."

"Stupid, idiot, you are already an old couple, why are you still talking about such things? I didn't say I don't believe you." Hachiman interrupted Yukino hastily. He was panicking. That was something that he absolutely couldn't let Rumi know. It was a lifelong black spot on her father's body.

But because of this, Hachiman became more and more convinced that Yukino who was possessing Yangyan's body at this time was real, because this was really a little secret that only he and Yukino knew.

Hugging his deceased wife, whom he thought he would never see again, Hachiman was really excited, and naturally, his hands began to caress her waist.

But when he realized something, he moved his hand away awkwardly.

Yukino, who was originally very excited and wanted to reunite after a long separation, looked at Hachiman strangely.

"Hachiman-kun, could it be that after being away for so many years, you have degenerated due to not being used for a long time?"

Okay, this is my dear wife, and she still has the familiar sharp tongue.

"What are you talking about? I'm having a great time..." Hachiman said casually.

"Haha, are you feeling great? Where do you get the basis to say that?"

Oh no, so you set a trap here and waited for him. You are really amazing.

Yukino asked coldly. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Hachiman felt that the temperature around here had dropped by several degrees. Even her eyes had a hint of bloodshot. Oh my god, would it change?

This reminded Hachiman of the days when the two of them bickered and set traps for each other.

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. What I mean is, this is your sister's body. How can I touch her, and without her knowing it?"

Hachiman said in great distress that for a normal man, the most painful thing might not be becoming a widower, but having his wife come back as a ghost, with the beautiful woman right in front of him but he cannot eat her.

Well, strictly speaking, it’s not his wife, his wife’s ashes are now scattered…

"Ah, it seems so." Yukino also began to think of this, but her watery eyes seemed to be telling of her own desires.

Both of them felt a little uncomfortable.

"Or, you can kiss me first." Yukino said. It would be good to comfort the pain of missing someone a little.

Hachiman thought about it and decided, okay, after all, kissing doesn’t seem to be too inappropriate.

As a result, when Yukino stuck out her lips again, he began to wear the mask of pain again.

He covered his face and said, "Which brother-in-law and sister-in-law would kiss each other? This is inappropriate, my wife."

Yukino also got a little angry and said, "It's not like there's nothing."

"But Yang Yan and I are innocent."

"It's just a kiss. Now I'm Yukino. After the kiss I'll wash her so she can be brand new when she wakes up tomorrow."

How the hell can it be brand new? Honey, your logic is a bit crazy.

"If you say so, then actually we... wash it and it will be brand new too?" Hachiman complained.

"No way." Yukino shook her head.

Hachiman suddenly thought of something, and then used the Mask of Pain*2.

"What on earth were we thinking?"

Suddenly, they both couldn't help laughing, and finally they chose a compromise, and Hachiman kissed her gently on the forehead.

"If it's just a kiss on the forehead, it can be used on the younger generation, right?" Hachiman said with a smile.

But Yukino seemed unsatisfied and gently pointed to her cheek.

"Okay, kissing on the cheek is a daily routine for Westerners," Hachiman said, kissing Yukino on the cheek again.

Then, the greedy woman stretched out her hand, said nothing, and just looked at him calmly.

Hachiman shrugged, then stood up and knelt on one knee, like a knight serving a princess.

If Liumei was awake, she would definitely be surprised at what was going on with this somewhat flirty old man, as he was usually very dull and boring.

If he was really boring, how could Yukino, the daughter of a famous family and an excellent person herself, fall in love with him?

However, as he said, the moment his wife died, half of his soul also died with her. And because of this, when his wife came back in such a miraculous way, his soul seemed to be reborn and became restless.

"My beautiful princess, please allow me to kiss the back of your hand to show my eternal love and longing for you." Hachiman was like a character in a Shakespeare play.

"Allowed, my eternal knight." Yukino wanted to cry again. Damn it, this guy wouldn't use this to trick the little girl.

Hachiman gently kissed the back of her hand, feeling the real body temperature. Yes, although it was a little embarrassing and helpless, his wife really came back.

So what if it’s Platonic love? It’s the light and hope in his life, and the lantern that guides him forward. As long as Yukino is there, he will feel that he is a man who can make the impossible possible.

In the end, Yukino was in Hachiman's arms, and the two of them intimately reminisced about the past. All their bickering and sweet words turned into love after a long separation.

However, Yukino wrapped herself in a blanket and was held by Hachiman.

This jealous woman.

Play within a play: Having a rebellious father is a real headache

In the early morning, Liumei woke up quietly. The sunlight shining on the gauze window seemed particularly comfortable. The beautiful morning sun dispelled the gloom of yesterday.

Including the fact that his father fell in love with the daughter of his classmate, and the fact that his aunt had taken over his father's home.

All along, this family has only consisted of herself and her father. It was like this before, and she wants it to be like this in the future.

From the moment she was four years old and secretly listened to her father crying under the quilt outside the door, the childhood and rebellious period of the girl named Hikigaya Rumi ended.

I must protect him, and this feeling has always been her motivation.

Well, even though dad has been doing some pretty shitty things lately, such as playing with his daughter's classmates and bringing his aunt home, adding a stranger to the house, Liumei's love for him will never change.

Having a dad who is in his rebellious phase is a real headache.

She got up, shaking her head, and then calmed herself down. If she was always angry, men would stay away from her. Dad was also a man, so today she would make him his favorite pork fillet burger to appease him.

Liu Mei opened the door while humming a little tune, and then saw a scene that shocked her for the rest of her life.

Her father actually fell asleep on the sofa in the arms of his aunt.

Suddenly, a burst of anger and greenness gushed out, and she screamed: "What the hell are you two doing!!!"

It seemed that even the chandelier on the ceiling was shaken, which naturally woke up Hachiman who was still sleeping.

He opened his eyes hazily, and then saw his daughter standing in the distance with red eyes, breathing like a bellows, obviously too excited.

Only then did he remember the dream-like experience late last night. Was it... a dream?

But the body temperature in her arms made her feel happy again. It was not a dream. The person last night was indeed Yukino.

But the girl in front of her, whose anger was like a volcano, made her body stiffen.

So, from the perspective of Chinese students in the United States, dad just "slept" with aunt in his arms all night?

As luck would have it, at this moment, Yang Yan seemed to be woken up in a daze, stretched out her hands from under the blanket and hooked them around his neck, and shouted in a creamy sweet voice: "Brother-in-law, don't... there..."

So, what the hell did you dream about, cleaning?

"You two!!!" Well, the furious Liu Mei has completely lost control.

The noise slowly woke Yang Yan up, and then he looked at the scene carefully, looked up at Hachiman and started to blush, looking very weak, like a maidservant helping her up.

"Brother-in-law, good morning."

"I say, you did it on purpose." Having to deal with such a sister-in-law and daughter, he wanted to die.

But now that my wife is back, I can’t die.

Hachiman quickly untied himself and Kagero, and hurriedly explained to Rumi, "Rumi, listen to me, the one I'm hugging is not Kagero, but my wife."

"So, you have even agreed on the marriage?" As if hit hard, Liu Mei felt dizzy and took a step back.

"Hate it, brother-in-law, I haven't agreed to marry you." Yang Yan patted his shoulder heavily as if she was shy.

You definitely did this on purpose.

Then Hachiman saw tears in Rumi's eyes, and I was like, what's going on with this subtle atmosphere like someone was caught cheating?

Hachiman complained madly in his heart, stood up and walked over to hold Rumi's shoulders: "I'm not talking about Yangyan, but your mother."

"I will never call this woman mom. My mom is dead." Liu Mei shouted and then pushed him away.

Hachiman was confused as to how to explain: "That's not what I meant. Your mother is dead. Your mother is indeed dead..."

"Brother-in-law, why are you cursing at me?" The sister-in-law enjoyed watching the fun.

"Just shut up now." Hachiman turned around and shouted.

"Hate it. You were calling me Sweetie yesterday..." Yang Yan gently pulled aside the quilt, revealing her white thighs under her nightgown.

My goodness, Liu Mei’s blood pressure has risen.

Hachiman quickly explained: "Don't listen to her nonsense. What I want to say is that your mother is dead, but not completely dead. Last night she came back to me in the body of your aunt, so I fell asleep holding her."

Hmm? Although I have explained it, it still seems a little strange.

The air in the hall was getting colder, and Liu Mei's eyes were getting colder and colder: "Dad, do you think that the daughter you raised for so long only turned out to be an idiot?"

"Liumei-chan, don't swear," he reminded carefully.

But after being glared at by Liu Mei, he dared not speak.

"Which one do you think I should believe, between the two facts that you are having an affair with this woman and that your dead mother possessed this woman and came back to have a tryst with you?" Liu Mei said coldly.

"I choose death." said Hachiman.

"What?!" Liu Mei raised her voice.

Hachiman thought, well, this is really ridiculous. God of Creation, what about the saying that this is the real plane?

Seeing Hachiman lower his head in silence, Rumi continued in a cold voice: "If one day, you just woke up and found me sleeping on the sofa with a man, and also said that my mother came back and possessed him, and we were just rekindling the mother-daughter relationship, what would you think?"

"I killed his mother." Hachiman said excitedly, but soon lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.

But what he said was true. However, words alone are not enough to prove it. How could people believe such metaphysical things?

It turns out that teaching children to "believe in science" from a young age can have such disadvantages. Hachiman couldn't help but want to cover his face.

Suddenly, Hachiman remembered that there was another witness at the scene.

She turned her head, looked at the girl who was admiring herself on the sofa, and said, "Yang Yan, say something!"

The girl who was named paused, then asked, "What do you want me to say?"

She looks like a mistress who doesn't care even if caught by the wife. She is an old mistress.

"You must have come to me because you knew about Yukino's situation. Just explain to Rumi that there is no private relationship between you and me."

Yang Yan tilted his head, thought about it, and then said with a smile: "Ah, this is true. After all, my brother-in-law and I do not have a private relationship."

Then she turned her head and looked at Liu Mei, saying, "Actually, it was my sister, your mother, who possessed me last night. Then my brother-in-law and sister were so excited that they slept together in each other's arms. I had nothing to do with it. After all, my brother-in-law and I have no private relationship at all."

Yang Yan deliberately "emphasized" the word "affair".

Then she smiled at Hachiman again and said, "Brother-in-law, I am right, right?"

This woman must be a witch.

"Hikigaya Hachiman, sit down! Call a family meeting now!"

Oops, my stay in the US is totally ruined.

Drama within a drama: My brother-in-law will never let Yangyan get married!

It was called a family meeting, but it was more like a torture scene. The point was that Liu Mei, who was the prosecutor, also served as a judge, and was responsible for both investigation and conviction.

Moreover, the angry Liu Meizhen's fighting power was off the charts. I don't know if he inherited his mother's sharp-tongued gene, but he would always insert a sarcastic remark or two when he was explaining things.

"Oh, when are you planning to get married? Isn't it time to buy a big house?"

"Do you need me to move out? After all, it will interfere with your newlywed life."

"I wonder if you want to give me a brother or sister next? It's really exciting."

It is said that words are a form of violence, so he must have been executed by slow slicing. It's so tragic. Who raised this child? Why is he so annoying?
