Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"Actually, you know, Rumi-chan has body odor." Hachiman's expression at this moment was as serious as if he was an invigilator in the examination room.

Suddenly, Rumi-chan couldn't hold back her expression. She looked at Hachiman and then at Yoshino, only to see Yoshino looking at her with an incredible and stunned expression.

Yoshino couldn't help but say, "No wonder Tsurumi-san doesn't want others to get close to you. It turns out you have a hidden illness."

"I didn't, don't listen to what Hachiman said." Liumei was so anxious that she didn't even call him dad. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

Yoshino looked at the two of them with confusion in his delicate eyes.

Hachiman said casually, "My family is not very respectful. When I was a kid, I got used to calling him by his name. Now Rumi-chan doesn't even want to call me dad."

Well, every family has its own customs.

Yoshino nodded, "Well, body odor isn't a big deal. So that's why Rumi-chan avoids people. I will never look down on her for that."

What a good boy, truly a good boy like Totsuka.

"So, I didn't." Was this going in a strange direction? Rumi-chan's cheeks felt like they were on fire.

"Hey, if it's just body odor, it's okay, but you're Ayaka-chan's cousin, I can't bear to lie to you. In fact, in addition to body odor, Rumi-chan also has a bad stomach. She likes to fart when she eats, and it smells really bad. She also has sweaty feet. You know, every time after dinner, she sits on the sofa and starts picking her feet. After picking her feet, she habitually puts her nose up to smell it. Hey, I'm embarrassed to marry off a daughter like this. I'm already prepared to raise her at home for the rest of her life. Don't bring trouble to other people's families."

When I heard that the goddess of my dreams turned out to be a girl with body odor, frequent farts, and picking her smelly feet, the cold figure with long black hair casting a long shadow in the library under the red sunset seemed to be shattered into pieces of glass.

It's not that he despises this or that, but probably normal people can't stand the fact that girls have so many problems. He asked with a trembling voice: "Um, Tsurumi-san, is what your father said true?"

The oncoming question made Liu Mei silent for a moment and she was in a dilemma. Although she wanted to deny at the first moment that she did not have body odor and sweaty feet, and she did not pick her feet or fart...she was a pink beautiful girl, but if she really said that, Hachiman's plan to make the other party retreat would make her realize the difficulty.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems more like Hachiman is persecuting her. 10 seconds is neither long nor short. Finally, Rumi said with some humiliation.

"Yes, I am a high school beauty who has body odor, farts a lot, has sweaty feet, and likes to pick and smell them...

After admitting all this, Liumei felt as if something had been taken away from her soul. This world no longer had any meaning. She leaned on Hachiman's shoulders and kept butting him with her head.

Hachiman wanted to burst out laughing several times, but he finally held back and said to the black-haired handsome boy, "You can see that my Rumi-chan is just a beautiful girl with many problems. She is not a good match for you. The so-called love is a process of mutual understanding and mutual disappointment. If you are not disappointed to the point of being unable to bear it after understanding everything about the other person, the next step is marriage. So kid, give up now, and I hope you can keep the secret of Rumi-chan. Since you are Ayaka's cousin, I think you will be a good kid, right?"

After saying that, Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief. It's done. Even though Rumi-chan's soul is almost withered, the problem has been solved at least, right?

"Actually... I also have a secret." Yoshino said excitedly.

Hachiman tilted his head, which was not cute.

Yoshino blushed and said, "I actually have an odor fetish. That is, I like to smell all kinds of strange smells, including sweat, foot odor, body odor, and... the smell of farts."

Child, you are sick and need treatment, do you understand?

Then Yoshino-san looked at Rumi expectantly, "Originally this was a secret hidden deep in my heart that I didn't want to tell anyone, but today I saw Tsurumi-san bravely speaking out about her shortcomings. Tsurumi-san, think about how well we match each other. How many people in this world are like you and me, one exuding a strange smell, and the other liking to smell strange smells?"

What the hell is that? Liu Mei cursed in her heart. She could never have imagined that such a coincidence would happen in the world. What was even more surprising was that the quiet prince would have such a quirk.

Seeing the girl's surprise, Yoshino smiled and said, "Liking someone is a process of getting to know each other. Didn't your father in the United States say so?"

Then Liumei pushed her head against Hachiman's shoulder again and said, "You're the one who came up with all the bad ideas. Now you have to take care of them all for me." Then Liumei turned her head away angrily.

"Ah, this is such a coincidence..."

You've really let it go, brother. Hachiman's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he said to Liumei with some resentment.

"Hey, Rumi-chan, look at the kind of people you attract. You are the one with the perverted weirdo love physique, right? Those who like you are perverts or weirdos."

Liu Mei suppressed her anger and ignored him, just snorted.

Hachiman cleared his throat and said, "Well, it's not just that. Rumi-chan...is actually a boy."

Yoshino's eyes widened, and Hachiman continued without giving any explanation: "I actually always wanted to have a daughter, but Rumi was born a boy, so I raised her as a girl. I didn't expect that the older she got, the more beautiful she became. Even she herself didn't want to change back into men's clothes. This guy not only smells bad, but also has a cross-dressing fetish. Can you accept such a pervert?"

Hachiman has also given it his all, Rumi-chan, you have to be patient.

But Yoshino-san widened her eyes, blushed, and said, "What a coincidence, I... I am actually a girl. My family has always wanted a son, so they raised me as a girl since I was a child. If you doubt it, I can take off the breast wrap and show you."

Hachiman was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Why are you stacking buffs for me here?"

Yoshino blinked innocently, "What on earth are you talking about, Liumei Dad?"

Tsk, this kid is more difficult to deal with than imagined, a sinister fellow. Just when Hachiman was thinking about whether to just throw this guy into Tokyo Bay, a phone call came in. It was from Shijo Shinki. She probably couldn't find him and thought he had slipped away.

"I'm going to answer a phone call." Then he walked out of the cafe.

As the person involved, Liu Mei was almost hurt from holding it in. When she saw Hachiman leaving, she looked at the smiling boy and spoke softly.

"Yoshino-san, do you know what my favorite book is recently?"

"Which one?" Yoshino asked curiously.

"It's 'My Man' by Sakuraba Kazuki. So, do you understand?"

There was a hint of ruthlessness and indifference in Liu Mei's expression.

Chapter 25 Chapter

A drizzle gradually fell from the night sky, causing Rumi to worry about Hachiman who went outside to smoke and answer the phone. He never cared much about his own health.

Liu Mei looked gently at the classmate in front of her. Seeing that he was surprised by her words, the girl confirmed that he had read the book just like her.

In this way, the conversation will be easier.

"Please don't mind what Hachiman said just now. He was just making it up. His purpose was just to get you to stop bothering me... I think you've figured it out yourself." Rumei said calmly. Yoshino nodded. In fact, he knew about Hachiman's nonsense halfway through, but he didn't expose it and continued to talk along with Hachiman's nonsense.

"'I looked up at his face and my heart sank. I leaned gently on his shoulder and my body couldn't help but feel happy'..."

There was a cryptic meaning hidden in Rumi's gentle words. These were sentences taken from that book, and she thought that Yoshino-san would be able to understand them.

After a moment of silence, Yoshino said, "When I first saw you in the library, I sensed a sense of danger from you. I didn't expect it to be like this. I understand."

It turns out that talking to smart people is fast.

But then Yoshino said: "But aren't you worried that I will tell others? If that happens, you won't be able to stay in school at all."

It is shocking that the class monitor, who has always been a role model, actually hides such a secret.

After saying that, she saw a look of expectation and fear on Rumi's face: "You can do that, but you don't want to see what Hachiman looks like when he gets angry. At that time, you will really be sunk into Tokyo Bay, literally."

Yoshino showed a trace of fear on his face, but smiled bitterly: "I didn't intend to tell you, but from your expression, it seems like you are looking forward to it being known?"

Liu Mei shook her head: "I don't expect others to know, but once I thought about how I could cry on his chest if the truth came out, I thought that maybe this wouldn't be a bad idea."

Yoshino-san was indeed frightened and said, "But your life is ruined. Is it worth it?"

Liu Mei looked at him and chuckled, "How do you know what my 'life' is?"

Yoshino smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand. I was just being sentimental. Your values ​​and morals really cannot be judged by the average person."

At this moment, Hachiman slowly walked back, with a hint of apology on his half-depressed and old face, a few water droplets on his hair and cheeks, and a faint smell of rain on his suit.

"Sorry, I just had to return a call for something urgent. How's it going? Where were we?"

Yoshino spread his hands and said, "I have given up. I will not bother Tsurumi anymore. Her rank is too high for me to handle. I will not tell anyone about what happened today. For the sake of cousin Totsuka, please don't throw me into Tokyo Bay."

Hachiman was a little puzzled. Ning was a pervert with odor fetish and cross-dressing fetish just now, so how come he gave up in just ten minutes?

However, it's always a good thing that he is willing to give up.

The three of them didn't stay in the cafe for long before saying goodbye at the door.

Even though Yoshino and Rumi were both going to the same dormitory, Rumi naturally wouldn't go with her at this time. What's more, Rikka and Akane were still in the Internet cafe. After all, they were friends who had been with her through thick and thin, and Rumi herself couldn't bear to leave them alone.

After solving one problem, Liumei was obviously in a good mood, and her steps were light and brisk. However, it was drizzling at the moment, and Hachiman got a big red umbrella from somewhere to cover the girl's head, but his shoulders were a little wet.

"What did you say to Yoshino? I don't think he is someone who can be easily fooled." Hachiman asked curiously. There were not many people who could talk nonsense with him.

Liu Mei smiled faintly, with water drops slowly pouring down from her black waterfall-like hair. Her eyebrows gently curved downwards, revealing a playful and lively expression as she said, "I don't want to tell you."

Hachiman shook his head and smiled, forget it, as long as the child tells him, it will be fine.

"What should we do now? Should we go back to the Internet cafe to find them?" Hachiman asked.

However, the girl did not answer, but took a brisk stroll under the neon lights in the drizzle. The rain had soaked her round-toed leather shoes and socks, but Rumi did not care. She was enjoying the feeling of being alone with Hachiman at the moment, or to be more precise, the feeling of him holding an umbrella to shield her.

The two walked slowly to an unknown park, where they saw a wild cat with yellow spots, which was soaked and shivering. It seemed to be another stray cat that no one wanted.

For some reason, this scene always made Hachiman feel that Rumi would rush over to help the stray cat find a place to shelter from the rain and get some food.

If it was Yukino, she would definitely do the same. That guy is such a cat lover that he can't tolerate seeing a cat suffer in front of him.

Liumei gently pulled Hachiman's sleeve and thought to himself, is it really here? Is it true that daughters always learn from their mothers?

"Hachiman, look." But what Liumei wanted to see was not the yellow spotted cat, but a small bird's nest on the tree that sheltered it from the rain.

"Hachiman, please help them and drive away that annoying cat." Rumi continued to pull Hachiman's sleeve and said softly.

Hachiman looked carefully and saw that the stray cat was not hiding under the tree for shelter, but was trying to climb up the tree. Needless to say, its target was a bird's nest with several hungry little sparrows.

Liu Mei couldn't help but say, "Cats are really annoying animals. They don't eat birds that are good for the city environment, but they bite them to death and use them as toys. They are clearly destroying the ecological chain of the city, but they are loved by humans. Hachiman, what do you think?"

She raised her head slightly, looking at Hachiman with clear eyes, as if seeking some answer. Hachiman slowly put away his umbrella and said, "I just feel like you are hinting at something, little girl."

After saying that, Hachiman waved his umbrella and knocked the stray cat down from the tree. The cat fell to the ground and rolled over nimbly, and immediately became furious at Hachiman. However, after seeing the terrifying Homo erectus holding a long-handled weapon, the fear hidden deep in its heart soon took effect, and it quickly ran into the bushes and disappeared.

Hey, if he was with Yukino, he would have pampered this stray cat. Why does he feel a little bit despicable himself?

Chapter 26 Chapter

Hachiman looked at the sparrows on the tree. When the adult sparrows saw that the wild cat had disappeared, they circled around in the shade of the tree, as if timidly showing their goodwill.

When he turned around, he saw Liu Mei standing in front of him, looking up at him.

"What's wrong?" Hachiman asked with some disobedience in his heart.

"The smell of rain." The girl said softly.

Hachiman was puzzled, but he saw the girl's nose gently approaching his chest: "You smell like rain, it smells good."

"Is getting wet the smell of rain?" He couldn't help but stroke the water droplets on the girl's cheeks. Her budding skin was surprisingly tender and smooth, like tofu just out of water, as if touching her would defile her.

But the next moment, Rumi hugged Hachiman's waist, as if seeking some reassuring sense of presence.

"It would be nice if Hachiman was really my father," she sighed quietly.

"What kind of emotion is this?" Hachiman really didn't understand the girl's worries.

Liu Mei pouted from an angle where he couldn't see and said, "I can tell any woman I don't like to get out openly."

"Your dream is really great." Hachiman smiled but did not blame him. He slowly felt the weight of the girl in his arms and felt a little warm.

But soon he patted Liu Mei's head and said, "Go back quickly, I'm afraid they will be waiting anxiously... The little girl is so good that she doesn't want to learn. Who did she learn this from when she always pouts?"

Hachiman lectured softly, gently pushing Rumi away, but the girl quickly took his arm.

After resolving his doubts today, the monitor was much more frank than usual.

"We have a parent-teacher conference next month. I don't need to inform my parents. Do you want to come?"

"Haha, your homeroom teacher, Mr. Hiratsuka, is so familiar with me, just kill me."

"We still have two days before we return from Tokyo. I've already had a good time exploring Tokyo. I can sneak out when they organize activities."

"I should be able to find time to come out, but don't act on your own. Tell the teacher."

"I heard from Rikka that the subsequent plot of the TV series has already been revealed. I'm really looking forward to it."

"I feel that if you keep filming that crappy movie, sooner or later you'll chop off my head and say something like we'll never be apart again." Hachiman couldn't help but complain.

Suddenly, Hachiman noticed that there was an inexplicable loving expression in Rumi's eyes when she looked at him, which was a little creepy. He gently patted her head.

"Little girl, study hard and do well in college so that you can have a great future, you know?"

"You obviously got into college through the back door, too?"

"Then I am also considered outstanding!" Hachiman argued.

"Doesn't this further prove that personal connections are more important than ability in this country?"

Who is this child? He is so realistic and not cute at all.

Hachiman dragged Rumi slowly back to the Internet cafe. At this time, a man in his thirties or forties like Hachiman dragging a high school girl would not normally make people think they were father and daughter, but rather...

Just as they were thinking this, a group of a fat uncle and a young girl wearing a mask came towards them. The fat uncle looked at Hachiman with an ambiguous smile.

Oh, you too...

Yours is also good...

After the two sides passed each other in this seemingly ambiguous exchange of information, Liu Mei said calmly: "They thought I was a girl who did the work of a father."

"I warn you, don't easily tease a man who is full of blood." Hachiman warned.
