Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"...I'll wait for you."

This woman can definitely do it.

Beidou turned around and walked into the library with automatic door opening and closing. He seemed to be entangled by a strange guy, and he was the type he was least good at dealing with.

Since classes had not started yet, there were still many students coming to the library to borrow and return books. The administrator at the front desk seemed quite busy. He walked over and asked, "Um, I'm a transfer student, and I'm here to pick up textbooks."

The administrator pointed to a shelf not far away without even turning his head. Beidou frowned slightly, but ultimately said nothing. He walked over and saw a bundle of packaged new textbooks with a printed note with his name on it.

After thinking about it, he didn't take the bundle of textbooks for the time being, but walked around the library casually, looking at the books collected in the library. He didn't have many hobbies, except watching VTB and the girls in the dance area, probably only novels.

He came to the shelf of popular novels, and to his surprise, he saw "Waiting in the Dark" by Otsuichi, an author he admired very much, and the book was also quite interesting. It told the story of a fugitive wanted for an unjust crime who accidentally came to the home of a blind girl waiting to die. The two tacitly pretended not to know each other's existence and began to live together. It was a slightly cold and warm story, and it was a novel he liked very much.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but was unexpectedly touched by another slightly warm hand. He looked to the side with some surprise and found a girl in school uniform standing next to him.

"Ah, um, please." The girl's voice was very soft, and she seemed a little nervous talking to a stranger. Her bangs were a little long, slightly covering her eyes, making her look a little gloomy.

Beidou took out the novel without hesitation, and a smile appeared on his face. The girl seemed touched by the smile, and she mustered up the courage to ask, "Well, do you like this book too?"

Beidou nodded naturally and said, "Well, this is a very warm story...a story of mutual rescue."

The girl's eyes, which were hidden by her bangs, seemed to be shining. "Hmm... Well, I think so too. This book is really, really good."

Her voice was still as soft as a mosquito's, but it seemed to have more joy.

However, after Beidou looked at the cover, he put the book back on the shelf helplessly.

"What...what's wrong, you don't want to lend it?"

"I forgot that I don't have a library card yet... I'm a transfer student, and I can't borrow books even if I want to." Beidou said with some regret. He still wanted to revisit this book.

The girl stood in silence for a moment, then said, "How about...using my library card?"

"Eh...wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?" Beidou was a little tempted.

The girl nodded shyly: "It's okay. It would be very uncomfortable if you can't read the book you want. I understand your feeling."

Beidou immediately developed a good impression of this girl. She was a good person and someone he could get along with.

So the two of them went out with the books, and Beidou took the bundle of textbooks with him as well.

"Um, I want to borrow a book." The girl whispered while standing at the front desk.

But the administrator at the front desk seemed not to hear and continued to be busy with other people's book borrowing matters.

"Um, I want to borrow a book." the girl repeated.

The administrator at the front desk still ignored the girl, which made Beidou frown when he saw it.

"Well, I want to borrow a book." The girl said again with effort.

After the administrator still didn't respond after the third time, Beidou walked over and took the book and library card directly from the girl's hand, and said in a slightly louder voice: "Sorry, I want to borrow a book."

The administrator at the front desk seemed startled, as if to say, why are you yelling so loudly.

However, he helped him borrow the book without saying a word, and the girl seemed relieved.

After Beidou got the book, he rarely said thank you. Instead, he walked to the side with the girl and complained, "Really? This guy is so rude."

But the girl shook her head gently and said, "Don't say that. I'm actually used to it."

"Next time you can just complain about him to the teacher directly." Beidou said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

The girl remained silent, handed the book to Beidou, then bowed to her gently and walked slowly towards the exit.

Just now, Beidou glanced at the library card casually. She is still a senior in high school, but she doesn't look like one.

But soon the girl came back, blushing a little embarrassedly, and said, "Um, could you please help me open the automatic door?"

"Hey, what does it mean to open the automatic door? Is the automatic door broken?" Beidou said curiously.

But the girl just shook her head vigorously. Out of curiosity, Beidou followed the girl to the entrance of the library. The girl approached the automatic door, but what surprised him was that the automatic door did not respond at all. Just when he thought it was broken, he approached the automatic door, and then the door began to open slowly again. The girl took the opportunity to walk out, and Beidou followed her out.

Beidou thought about it and looked at the slightly gloomy girl. Could it be that this girl’s presence was so low that even the automatic door couldn’t sense it?

The administrator just now didn't ignore the girl intentionally, he just ignored her because he couldn't sense her presence...

"Well, thank you. I'll leave first." The girl said in a low voice.

“.................”Are there really people in the world with such a low sense of existence?

Suddenly, Beidou saw Yukinoshita Yukizuru walking towards him. This woman was completely different from the girl with long bangs, and her presence was very strong.

"Oh, Kato, you come to borrow books so early." Yukinoshita Yukitsuru said with a smile.

The girl named Kato nodded slowly and left.

Yukinoshita Yukitsuru looked at the novel in his hand with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Yuan-jun met a senior just after arriving at school. That's great."

Beidou didn't want to respond to her teasing at all, and said, "You said you had something to tell me, what was it?"

Yukinoshita Yuzuru rolled her eyes and said, "I see that Gen-san hasn't decided which club to join yet, right? I would like to ask you to go to the club I recommend and... help me monitor their club leaders."

Bokuto saw Xuezuru with a strange look, staring at her.

Xue He smiled softly and said, "Are you wondering how shameless this woman thinks she is?"

Beidou: “Hehe.”

"Very good, I feel the irony. You are the first boy who dares to mock me in person. You are worthy of it." Xuehe smiled even more happily.

Looking at the woman's smile, Beidou had a bad feeling, because when the woman he was familiar with smiled like this, he was usually in trouble.

"Our Yukinoshita family is the local boss of Chiba. Of course, we can't be compared with your Kansai Genji. Do you think I'm right, the eldest grandson of the Kansai Genji, Minamoto Hokuto?" Xuezuru said softly and gently.

Beidou showed a surprised expression, but before he could speak, the woman said, "Are you surprised that I know your identity? I heard that the Yukinoshita family is the local boss of Chiba. If there is any famous person visiting Chiba, our family will naturally be the first to know. I know that yesterday, Princess Minamoto no Raikou of Chiba moved back to the Chiba Palace from Kansai. Haha, Minamoto-san also happens to have the last name Minamoto. What do you think will happen to the peaceful campus life that Minamoto-san expects if I broadcast this news to the whole school?"

"You really know how to abuse the power in your hands." Beidou sneered.

"Of course, otherwise what's the point of me being the president of the student union." Yukinoshita Yukinakaru was happy to do it.

The two stared at each other for a while, and finally Beidou gave in. He didn't care about joining the club.

"Surveillance or something like that, I can't do such advanced things. If it's just to join the club you recommend, I don't mind."

"That's enough. The child will definitely be very happy when he knows it." Yukinoshita Yukitsuru said with a smile.

Beidou didn't know who the child he was talking about was, nor did he want to know. After Yukinoshita Yukitsuru handed him a note, she seemed to have lost interest in him and left.

Beidou admired how realistic this woman was. She really didn't even bother to take him to the classroom, so he had to leave and find his way to the teaching building.

Xuehe, who was not far away, looked at the back and said with a smile: "Well, I am looking forward to your performance, little brother... Oh no, shouldn't I call you Onii-chan?"

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

When he arrived at the classroom, class was in progress. Under the guidance of the instructor, he made a brief self-introduction in the class. Perhaps it was a bit strange to transfer schools at this time, everyone was inexplicably interested in him.

After he dealt with it a little, he saw two familiar faces, the reckless girl Yuigahama Yui and the fierce girl Kato.

Yuigahama was still waving enthusiastically from below.

Well, it’s never a bad thing to have someone familiar, so the teacher arranged for him to sit in the lower left corner by the window.

Then classes went on as normal. The teaching progress in Kansai was a little faster than that in Chiba, so he didn't have much problem adapting. After class, there weren't a lot of people gathering around him asking him questions like in the anime, which only happened with his celebrity sisters.

However, Yuigahama did come to say hello, and just like that, the morning passed slowly in the unfamiliar environment. When the bell rang for the end of get out of class at noon, Beidou declined Yuigahama's suggestion to take him to the cafeteria, walked out of the teaching building on his own, and took out the note that the woman gave him, on which was an address.

"What the hell is the Service Department..." He complained about the crappy name, then followed the instructions to a media teaching building.

As it was lunch time, the place seemed empty, and the bright sunshine made the cicadas in the banyan tree in front of the Media Teaching Building buzz.

Beidou climbed up to the third floor. Maybe there was no one in the club activity room now, but he just wanted to take a quick look first.

Soon, he came to a slightly old classroom with a nameplate on it that read "Service Department". Beidou gently pushed open the door. Perhaps because the window inside was also open, the instantaneous convection produced a strong airflow.

His eyes saw the long black hair like a wet crow floating in the air, facing the green leaves and summer.

A thin girl was sitting quietly on a chair, holding a thin paperback book in her arms. The picture-like composition seemed so peaceful that no one dared to disturb her.

Perhaps it was because the scene was too beautiful that Beidou took a while to come back to his senses. He found that the girl with a face as delicate as a doll had fallen asleep on the chair.

"Excuse me, is this Yukinoshita Yukino-san?" he asked in a low voice.

To be continued.

Chapter 1 Chapter

At the Chiba Palace, in the early morning, the rays of the rising sun had just spread to the earth, and the not-so-bright sunlight seemed very warm.

The courtyard with its emerald green lawn was full of spring, but the sharp blade broke the silence.

"Ha!" With a light shout, the sharp blade of the naginata swung upwards, making a sound of breaking through the air. The beauty swung the sword, but it made people feel cold. The action that only left an afterimage seemed to be able to easily catch the sparrows in the sky.

"Yan Fan." The woman uttered two words lightly, and three extremely sharp blades seemed to slash towards the void at the same time.

In the distance, Hachiman was watching Minamoto no Raikou exercising with a leisurely expression. In his arms was his one-month-old son, whose bright black eyes were staring blankly at his father.

Hachiman yawned softly, and the child followed suit.

Hachiman pinched his cheek gently and said, "What's wrong? Are you sleepy now? You were making a fuss just now and refused to go to sleep. You kept me awake all night."

Looking at the little ball of flesh in his arms, Hachiman's heart softened. During this month, he had hardly paid attention to other things and focused on accompanying Minamoto no Raikou who had just given birth.

But Prince Raikou is no pushover. After just a month's rest after giving birth, he couldn't help but start holding a knife and started formally exercising this morning.

After a long while, Minamoto no Raikou finally stopped, handed the naginata to the maid, took the towel and gently wiped the sweat on his hair and cheeks, then walked to his young husband and son. However, Minamoto no Raikou's face was a little solemn, and he said softly: "As expected, the realm of martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. I have never felt that the naginata is so stagnant as I did today."

Hachiman gave a bitter smile: "With your speed and strength just now and still saying such things, I will just be killed by hitting myself with a piece of tofu."

Even though he had just recovered from giving birth, Minamoto no Raikou's terrifying strength and speed were enough to suppress him.

If he had lost to someone else, Hachiman might still be unwilling to accept it, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all when Raikou's mother said that.

Minamoto no Raikou raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly, "Come to think of it, Hachiman-kun has been with me this month. Maybe you haven't exercised enough, which is not good..."

Next, Minamoto no Raikou began to lecture him as usual, but Hachiman quickly surrendered and said, "My dear wife, I have been busy taking care of the child this month. It was you who asked me not to leave the raising work to the maids but to raise the child myself. How many days can I sleep normally this month? What about exercising?"

After hearing what Hachiman said, Minamoto no Raikou looked at the faint dark circles on Hachiman's cheeks, feeling both distressed and moved.

In fact, it was all because of her willfulness that she asked Hachiman to accompany her. Let's not talk about one child, but it was normal to let the maid help out when she had to take care of three children at the same time. However, Minamoto no Raikou stubbornly wanted to raise her own children by herself, at least during the period when their children were just born.

Therefore, when the child cried in the middle of the night, he would often have to get up to see what was going on, and Hachiman would suffer as well.

However, it was during this month that Minamoto no Raikou, who had always considered himself an "elder", began to feel more dependent on Hachiman as his wife.

In the past, she always regarded herself as Hachiman's elder, and tried hard to match Hachiman with other girls. In their relationship, she was more like a sister and a mother.

Even in matters between men and women, she only wanted to satisfy the demands of her willful "brother" and hope to have children of her own.

In short, her feelings towards Hachiman were more doting, but when she really gave birth to a child, this excess maternal love was transferred to the child, and her perception of Hachiman also became more like that of a man.

And Hachiman did not let her down and showed his sense of responsibility as a man, making her feel an unprecedented emotion.

Of course, she would still spoil him when necessary. After all, she knew that Hachiman actually enjoyed the feeling of being spoiled by his "elders".

This guy has been lacking love since childhood.

"Don't call me wife. It sounds really uncomfortable. Let's save this title for Xiaohui and the others." Minamoto no Raikou pinched Erza's little fleshy cheek and said gently.

"Well, but what should I call you if not my wife? Raikou-dono is too distant, and calling you Raikou now... is too weird."

Minamoto no Raikou smiled faintly and said, "How about calling me sister?"

Hachiman's mind turned, and then he said, "Raikou-sister? Not bad."

It not only expresses respect for His Highness Raikou, but also avoids being too distant due to seniority.

At this moment, the child in Hachiman's arms burst into tears, and no matter how he tried to comfort him, it was of no use.

After replenishing some water, Minamoto no Raikou said, "Let me hold him. Lex must be hungry."

After saying that, she took off her clothes and started to feed her son, but Minamoto no Raikou noticed that Hachiman had been staring at him, so he rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go away, there's no share for you. There's still enough to feed three children."

Hachiman immediately showed disappointment.

"It turns out that Mr. Hikigaya's bad taste isn't just for me." A familiar girl's voice came.

Hachiman showed a hint of surprise and turned around to see Kato Megumi, who was pushing a stroller and holding a parasol.

"Xiaohui, long time no see." Minamoto no Raikou also said happily.

"Long time no see, Your Highness Raikou, congratulations on your successful childbirth." Kato Megumi smiled faintly.

As the university curriculum became more intense, Kato Megumi, who had to attend classes seriously while taking care of her children, could not find time to go back to Chiba to visit Minamoto no Raikou.

"Haha, thanks to Xiaohui for her guidance during my pregnancy."
