Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Hime laughed and didn't care. She said, "I see that you and Hikigaya-kun get along well. You never spent this much time buying gifts before. You even specially set up rewards or something. I thought you were educating your son like a mother."

Yumiko glared at her and said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak."

It's amazing that he can make people angry to death with just one word.

Himena gently pushed up her glasses and said, "So, have you forgotten about Hayama-kun now?"

This was a soul-searching question for Yumiko. After a moment of silence, she said, "I miss him less often than before."

If she could forget so easily, she wouldn't be Yumiko anymore. However, she is now confident that if she is given more time, she will be able to treat Hayato normally.

"So, how about comparing with Kigaya-kun?" Hime asked again.

Yumiko thought about it for a longer time this time, and then said, "The best thing I did during this period of time was probably to take him home."

"I'm so envious. I also want to be surrounded by handsome guys." Hime said sincerely.

"Unfortunately, the scripts I get most often are those for supporting actresses." Or those scripts for supporting actresses that were kicked away by the handsome guy.

Moreover, even for Hachiman, Yumiko always felt that he was like a butterfly, and it would not be strange if he disappeared at any time. Thinking of this, Yumiko felt empty in her heart. She hoped that one day she could give away her lighter.

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

At night, Hachiman opened his eyes because he had to pee urgently. Of course, it was just because he drank too much soup at night, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the prostate.

Then when he opened the door and was about to go to the bathroom, he saw a figure moving up and down in the corner of the dining table in the living room.

The other party seemed to pause after noticing Hachiman.

However, Hachiman was really impatient and ignored it, humming: "susu, susu..."

He went to the bathroom to run the shower. After a refreshing rush, he washed his hands and came out, only to find that the figure was still moving at the corner of the table.

"Um, Miss Ebina?" Hachiman called out, really not wanting to get closer.

"Ah, Hikigaya-kun, please wait for me for two or three minutes." said the voice, which was as wet and sticky as seaweed.

Hachiman actually just stood at a distance with his hands folded, watching silently, mainly out of curiosity.

After a while, Hime slowly walked out from the darkness, her cheeks still a little flushed...Oh, she is wearing a skirt, Hachiman thought belatedly.

"Would you like some milk?" Hachiman asked.

"?" Ji Cai asked a question mark.

"Replenish water." Hachiman said again.

"Then I'll heat it up." Hime raised her hands.

About ten minutes later, Ji Cai came out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa, where a cup of warm milk was placed.

Hachiman looked at the girl who was gulping down the milk with a scrutinizing gaze.

Whether it's her words, life choices or actions like just now, the girl Ebina Hina gives Hachiman a unique impression.

"I say, actually you like Yumiko, right?" Hachiman said softly while sitting on the chair.

Jicai raised her eyebrows, a little surprised, but not completely surprised: "Ah, you finally found out?"

The love that Hachiman is talking about here is not the love between friends or besties, but the love between the opposite sex...well, the love between the same sex.

"Otherwise, who would do such a thing in front of their best friend's house? I'm not a psycho." Hachiman shrugged.

"Hahaha, but I think it's crazy enough to do this kind of thing in the home of the person you like." Hime said with a smile.

"So you are self-aware." He couldn't help but complain.

"Of course, I'm not really crazy."

Well, the conversation between these two rather sinister guys is a bit stream-of-consciousness.

"But I don't think you are a lesbian. Whether you were watching what happened between Miura and Hayama, or when Miura picked me up and took me home, you didn't seem jealous." He said strangely.

Hime put down the cup. It was really comfortable to drink a cup of warm milk after intense exercise. She thought for a moment and said, "After graduating from college, I tried to commit suicide once by cutting my wrists. Yumiko happened to save me. After I woke up in the hospital, she cried and slapped me, saying that she would be very sad if I died. So I survived for Yumiko."

"As for whether the person next to her is Ye Shan or you, it doesn't matter. As long as Yumiko is happy, that's all that matters. As for why I'm not jealous..."

Hime looked at Hachiman, her eyes behind the glasses a little empty, she said: "Hikigaya-kun, don't you think it's scary to open your heart to other people? Because I have so many inferiority complexes, cowardice and despicable thoughts in my heart that I can't say them. I feel so dirty that I want to vomit. Can I really tell all this to the person I like? I can't do it, at least I can't do it."

Hina Ebina is a person who keeps her heart tightly locked up. She is naturally unable to show her true self to others.

As long as you imagine that the other person knows your most disgusting side, you will find it unbearable and choose to escape.

Himena said, "I'm a coward, Hikigaya-san, so as her best friend, my best position is to stand next to her, not too far away but not too close."

Then, Hime looked at Hachiman and smiled again: "Besides, Hikigaya-kun is the same type of coward as me. As expected, people of the same kind smell alike. What should you do if you don't want others to see your true self? Just keep running away, avoiding family, kinship, marriage, and friends. In this way, no one will be able to see your heart, and even if you come into contact with others, it will only be a brief taste, just like you, Hikigaya-kun, now."

Hachiman said: "According to what you said, should I prepare to escape?"

Hime said with a smile: "You know, for people like us, Yumiko is like the shining sun. Her heart is so pure that as long as you stay by her side, you will be attracted to her sooner or later."

Hachiman recalled the pure kindness in Yumiko's eyes when she handed him two boxes of smoking cessation candies.

As if his heart was completely seen by her, Hachiman announced that this week, Ebina Hime was the person he hated the most.

Chapter 14 Mosaic Sunscreen

Ever since Hina Ebina confessed her feelings to him that day, Hachiman has been on guard against her intentionally or unintentionally.

This feeling is like seeing a female version of myself, and in that case, the only thing left is disgust.

Hachiman has always felt that he is sick. After graduation, he actually had a pretty good job. In a sense, he was also valued by his boss, although that boss was a bit weird. He was very smart, and this is not bragging. Under the guidance of that boss, he quickly mastered the rules of survival in this society and used these rules to profit for himself.

In the words of that boss: You are the person who knows how to hide your inner self the best I have ever met. Your sincerity is like melting into the ocean and no one can find it. That’s why no one can threaten you and you won’t get hurt.

However, her words were undoubtedly a curse to Hachiman. He deliberately pursued other women and dated them, but it felt wrong. He didn't even look for a girlfriend because he was lonely, but just because this social family thought he needed a girlfriend.

Even before she could realize that she was weird, Hachiman broke up with her under some pretext.

After realizing that he was so hopeless, his mental state was very bad, and he even developed depression. Hachiman soon resigned on his own initiative, and his father got furious and kicked him out.

But unexpectedly, the life of a tramp who only has short-term relationships with others is very suitable for him. People with good brains can do better than others no matter what they do. He lives like a duck in water by comforting wealthy and lonely women. He has traveled to many places and witnessed many things that are only recorded in books. He personally delivered a calf, witnessed the flowers completely withering overnight, climbed the most dangerous Mount Fuji, and almost had sex with a Mao girl on the peak...

He originally thought that this would be his future life, and there was nothing wrong with being alone. He almost called himself the king of loneliness.

But then you were slapped back by Ebina Hina and had to face the disgusting self again. You are just a coward who dares not open your heart.

Well, thinking of this, Hachiman wanted to throw the guy off the balcony again.

This girl still stayed in Yumiko's apartment and refused to leave. She lived and ate with them and drew fujoshi in the living room when she had free time. Yumiko was too busy with the internal competition to pay attention to her.

It was a hot weekend, and the worst thing was that there was a power outage. The chirping of cicadas in my ears seemed to be the best catalyst for sweat, but Yumiko could still lock herself in the room to write a plan. This is probably what a strong woman is.

"Hikigaya-kun, let's go to the beach and play in the water. I can wear a swimsuit for you to see." Hime said, almost melting with the heat. After all, it is midsummer now, and it is well known that otaku cannot stand the heat.

"I have no money." Hachiman couldn't stand the heat either, but his body was actually fine because he walked all year round. In the past summers, he would usually go to the mountain villages near Minamiboso City to escape the heat. The clear streams and super-large watermelons were really the best way to relieve the heat.

"I have money, but my wallet is at home." Ji Cai shouted weakly.

"You're obviously just trying to eat and drink for free." Hachiman couldn't help but said with contempt.

"Hehe, only Hikigaya-kun has no right to say anything about me. Besides, it doesn't matter if we don't have money. Yumiko does. She's a wealthy woman." Hime said with a smile.

Finding Yumiko when she has trouble has become her only motto in life.

"If you want to go, you go. I don't want to play in the water." In fact, the main reason was that I didn't want to go along with her wishes.

"Oh, don't you want to see Yumiko in a swimsuit? Golden hair, red bikini, snow-white skin, that's a completely different style from usual." Hime said quietly.

"......I say, it seems like Miura hasn't had a rest for a long time. If she continues like this, her body won't be able to take it." Hachiman suddenly changed the subject.

Ji Na spat at him, "Hypocrisy."

About twenty minutes later, in a taxi heading to Makuhari Citizens Beach, Yumiko crossed her hands and said unhappily, "I say, you two really think of me as an ATM, don't you?"

I was already having a headache because the planning project was not progressing smoothly, and the power outage made me even more upset, and as a result, these two guys dragged me out.

"But, having said that, Yumiko still carefully picked out a swimsuit." Hime gently exposed her hypocrisy.

"I paid for it. If I don't have fun, I'll be at a loss." Yumiko pinched Hime's shoulders.

Hachiman, who was standing next to him, said in a deep voice, "I'm actually looking forward to seeing Yumiko's swimsuit."

"Climb for me, gigolo. You want me to buy you swimming trunks, right?" Youmeko raised her middle finger in contempt.

"Hate it, as a man who longs for sea breeze and freedom, I can actually */+**-+"

Before she could finish her words, Youmiko covered her mouth. The driver looked at them strangely, thinking they were shameless, while she was still a well-known figure.

Oh, really, why are all her roommates not quite normal in their brains?

When you arrive at the beach, even the sea breeze carries a fishy and salty smell. Seabirds fly freely in the cloudless blue sky, and by the way, they poop for the terrifying upright apes that occupy the beach below.

After Hachiman put on his swimming trunks, he finally found an open space to put up his parasol, and then he heard Yumiko's voice.

"Hikigaya, please put some sunscreen on me."

Hachiman turned around and said, "Let Ebina-san apply it on you..."

A dazzling red color wrapped around her beautiful figure. As she had been exercising regularly, she looked like she had no extra fat in her swimsuit. Her full and fit figure was hidden under the veil. Even so, there were still many eyes following her.

"Hey, that woman in the red swimsuit looks familiar, is she the hostess?"

"Ah, my parents watch her news every night. I think her name is Miura?"

"She has a great figure, and she's even prettier now than with makeup on..."

As the top host of a local TV station in Chiba, she is quite well-known locally and knows many people.

She was in a hurry when she went out this time and forgot to bring her sunglasses.

Yumiko took the initiative to come over and hooked his hand, saying, "Stop talking nonsense. Just now, there were a few men following me and trying to strike up a conversation. They even offered to buy me coffee. What a lunatic. We're already at the beach, at least offer to buy me a smoothie."

Generally speaking, as long as you express that you are taken at the beach, most people who come to approach you will back off.

Hachiman exchanged glances with those men for a few times, with some hint of confrontation, but the other party soon backed down. After all, those idiots who wanted to step on others and steal women without any reason were a minority.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will take a picture and say you have a boyfriend?" Hachiman asked.

Yumiko lazily sat on a beach chair and said, "Compared to being an idol, the biggest advantage of being a female host is that although I am famous, that little bit of fame won't affect my life. If I have a relationship, I will be criticized by others."

Then he pointed to his back.

"I say, it's okay for me to put sunscreen on you, but I want to specify the brand," said Hachiman.

"What do you mean? I only brought a bottle of Kanebo, but it seems that Sea House has sunscreen for sale." Youmiko felt confused. What does the brand of sunscreen have to do with her?

"No, I want the mosaic one," said Hachiman.

"Never heard of it." Now the adults have a lot of question marks in their heads.

"Look, if you use Mosaic sunscreen, just apply it on your body and your body will turn into Mosaic. It's very convenient, right?" Hachiman said with a smile.

"Your channel finally matches Hime's?" Yumiko complained.

"Hey, you definitely can't understand this kind of high-dimensional conversation, superficial woman." He said with a look of greatness, and then was hit in the face with sunscreen by the other party.

Chapter 15 Fish Eyeballs

Despite applying sunscreen, Yumiko didn't seem to have any intention of going into the sea.

Many people have noticed Yumiko. What I just said about her being a little famous was a bit modest. She is able to serve as the female host of the news department at such a young age, and she appears in Chiba every night. It can be said that she has more exposure than many young idols.

What's more, although this guy looks upright, he is not stupid at all. He is very good at adding some harmless personal opinions to increase his popularity.

After all, if the host is just a script-reading robot, who else can be put there?

Expressing opinions is the basic and core competitiveness of every media person.

"Um, Ms. Miura, my mother is your fan, can you take a photo with me?"

In fact, Youmiko is not as cold as she seemed at first glance. The arrogance she had in school has been smoothed out by social and emotional experiences over the years. She is quite generous in accepting strangers with good intentions.

Many young girls or elderly couples come to take photos with her without seeming impatient.

If a man comes up to her and asks for a photo, Yumiko will push Hachiman out no matter the reason. At this time, he, as a tool, becomes very useful.

As for women of similar age, who the hell would have the time to take photos with a woman who looks so much better than themselves? Is that self-torture?

A cool sea breeze blew by, and Hachiman asked, "Hey, don't you want to go swimming in the sea?"

"My name isn't Hey, my name is Yumiko... Forget it, after swimming a few laps my mind will get confused again." Yumiko said.

Well, it turns out that she is still thinking about the planning of the variety show. This woman is really terrifying when she works hard, comparable to a full-time writer. He also heard from others during his travels that full-time writers are extremely magical creatures, who can run back to write when they get a sudden inspiration while being intimate with their girlfriends in a hotel.

"I say, if you continue like this your head will explode sooner or later. Don't you know that you should combine work with rest?" Hachiman advised.

Yumiko rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just go down and swim by yourself. I don't really need you to be by my side."
