Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Hachiman couldn't help but ponder this question in his confused mind.

She is the person closest to him.

She is her favorite.

She is the warmth that must be protected at any cost.

Hachiman kept waving his limbs and swam upwards with all his might until he was finally able to get closer to the sound.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a woman with swollen eyes from crying.

The moment Hachiman opened his eyes, an expression of nervousness and joy was revealed on the woman's face without any disguise.

"Hachiman-kun!"

At this moment, Hachiman felt that he was lucky to have someone worry about him so much.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he still couldn't help laughing.

"You can still laugh. Do you know that you have slept for two days?"

The woman's frowning look seemed a little serious, but in his eyes she looked cute.

"I'm back, Yukino." He said softly.

After hearing what Hachiman said, Yukino's unconsciously clenched fists slowly relaxed.

"Don't make people worry, you idiot."

"Sorry." Hachiman stretched out his slightly slow right hand and gently stroked Yukino's face.

Just at this moment, the door of the room was opened, and the pink-haired girl pushed the door open. She was a little surprised to see the two people beside the bed.

"Xiaoqi, you're awake." Her voice was as cheerful as ever, but with a hint of surprise.

"Ah, you two, you're being affectionate while I'm not around, you're so cunning, I want Xiaoqi to touch my cheek too."

Yui's silly voice seemed to bring Hachiman back to his high school days.

Yukino couldn't help blushing and put on a serious expression: "Yui, what nonsense are you talking about."

"See, every time I hit you in the sore spot, you put on a serious face and lecture me. I don't buy it, lelelele."

Most people would be scared by Yukino's stern face, but the two people in the room looked at each other and didn't buy it.

"Yui, you bastard!"

Just when the two seemed to be about to quarrel, Hachiman got up from the bed, put his arm around one of them, and put an end to the tension between the two. He said sincerely, "It's great to see you again."

In the warmth of that big hand, the two girls couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

"Hachiman-kun"

"Small business"

Hachiman held a girl in each hand and was gentle with her for a long time before asking, "So what happened to me?"

"That's what I wanted to ask. Xiaoqi, you suddenly fell asleep and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we tried. You've been sleeping for two days. Mom said that if you don't wake up, we'll have to call an ambulance to the hospital. Xiaoxue hasn't closed her eyes at all these two days. She's been taking care of you the whole time."

Hachiman glanced at Yukino. Her expression was indifferent, as if it was a matter of course and not worth mentioning.

Hachiman couldn't stand seeing her being so nonchalant, so he kissed her cheek hard.

Yukino quickly became embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "You haven't brushed your teeth yet!"

"Hey, it's always like this. I want one too. Even if it's as stinky as this, I want one too."

Yui said from the side, and Hachiman kissed Yui on the cheek as a matter of course.

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there's no need to go to the hospital. I roughly know what the problem is."

Hachiman remembered that before he fell into a coma, he should have been in the "Online Dream" and had a lot of fun playing it.

Now it seems that "online dreams" have side effects, and carrying so many people online at the same time will put an overload on his brain.

The two-day coma was probably a protective mechanism for his brain. If he continued playing, his brain would be damaged.

However, Hachiman couldn't help but think again, whether he could actively grasp the ability of the online dream. Since more than four people would put a burden on the brain. If he only pulled one person into the dream, his brain should be able to bear it.

Everything is still unknown, but the previous online dream can no longer continue.

After all, he has the responsibility to bring happiness to many people, and nothing can go wrong for the time being.

That's it, with a hint of regret.

But as long as life keeps moving forward, good things will happen.

Just after Hachiman sorted out the causes and consequences, the door was pushed open again.

Mrs. Yuigahama walked in slowly, "I heard that Hikigaya-kun has woken up."

“Yeah, you’re still very energetic.” Yui replied.

"That's great." Mrs. Yuigahama seemed relieved, and even took a step back in a trance as if her body was disconnected.

Seeing that her face was a little pale, Hachiman asked, "Mrs. Yuigahama, didn't you get enough rest these past two days?"

Mrs. Yuigahama gave a forced smile and said, "Well, I've been suffering from insomnia these past two days."

Hachiman sensed that the other party was worried about him, so he just nodded slightly.

"Okay, go take a shower quickly, you stink now." Yukino said from the side.

Hachiman smiled, followed Yukino's instructions, and pretended that he hadn't recovered yet when he stood up: "Oh, my body seems a little weak. I think I can't take a bath alone."

Yukino rolled her eyes at him, and Yui supported him with a smile, and didn't seem to mind rubbing Hachiman's back.

Mrs. Yuigahama covered her mouth gently, but ultimately failed to stop her daughter and Hachiman's ridiculous behavior.

About an hour later, Yukino and Mrs. Yuigahama were cleaning the house, while he and Yui were lying on the sofa watching TV like two idlers.

After coming out of the bathroom, Yui's cheeks were a little red, and she was obsessed with Hachiman and didn't want to leave, even though she had an injury on her leg.

Yui watched her man seriously watching the political news on TV and was stunned for a moment before she asked, "Xiaoqi, what's wrong? You look so serious."

Hachiman's frown finally relaxed, and he explained to Yui, "What's being broadcast on TV right now is the recent voting on the Liberal Democratic Party's Watershed Bill."

The Watershed Act is a bill regarding the demolition and reconstruction of the Mitsui Shipyard in Tokyo Port and a series of affiliated buildings. It involves the jobs of 3,000 workers and has been controversial.

Getting this bill passed within the party is a key task for the Liberal Democratic Party before the mid-term elections, and is also the key task of the Liberal Democratic Party leader, the head of the Shinomiya family, now Kaguya Shinomiya.

"Hey, is there something wrong?" Yui, who was a political novice, tilted her head and asked.

"The bill has now been defeated within the party by two votes," Hachiman said calmly.

The rejection of the bill itself is not a big deal, but it reflects a message that is worth paying attention to.

Kaguya Shinomiya is losing control of the Liberal Democratic Party.

This is extremely dangerous information, and even Hachiman can't just sit back and watch.

What we need now is to go to Kaguya to find out the specific situation.

Just looking at Yui, he was a little hesitant, since he had clearly promised to accompany her to recover from her injuries.

The girl smiled and said, "Just go find any job in a small company."

Hachiman felt a little guilty, but he nodded in the end.

After having lunch at Yuigahama's house, everyone saw Hachiman off at the door.

Yukino still stays at Yuigahama's house to take care of Yui who has a leg.

Hachiman didn't need to say too many farewell words to them.

But he felt a little complicated when facing Mrs. Yuigahama, and Mrs. Yuigahama also lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Hachiman laughed and said, "Hey."

Mrs. Yuigahama looked up in confusion and saw Hachiman saying.

"See you in the side story!"

★ Volume 10★

Chapter 1: Ice Kaguya Appears

Hachiman returned to the ancient and experienced mansion of the Shinomiya family again. The sky was already getting dim.

At this time, all the men who could support the Shinomiya family had died, leaving only orphans and widows in the eyes of outsiders.

Now Sayoko is mainly in charge of Tokyo Electric Company. As for the political resources, they were all inherited by Kaguya.

But precisely because of this, a hidden worry is buried. Kaguya is still too young, and in politics, being young is never a good thing.

Before, it was still okay because the Shinomiya family still had some influence, but now the Watershed Act is out of control, which seems to mean that the Shinomiya family's control over the Liberal Democratic Party is beginning to have problems.

Hachiman walked into the Shinomiya family's gate. He walked through the deep gate easily. As he passed by, the servants nodded to him to show their respect.

After all, his current identity is the husband of the head of the family, but Hachiman is not familiar with them, and has never even seen many of them.

This is not surprising. After Kaguya became the head of the family, she dismissed most of the "servants" and asked Hayasaka Nao to recruit and train a new group of servants.

Hachiman came to the courtyard where Kaguya was, and happened to meet Hayasaka Ai, who was wearing a light maid uniform and cleaning up fallen leaves with a broom.

After seeing Hachiman, Hayasaka Ai stopped what she was doing and greeted him with a cold expression.

"Mr. Hikigaya, you're here."

Hachiman thought to himself that this guy wasn't at all surprised that he was here.

After all, she probably guessed that the Watershed Act would fail, and Hachiman would be restless.

"Where is Kaguya now?" he asked.

"Ms. Kaguya has just finished her bath and is changing her clothes." Hayasaka Ai said softly.

If you put it like that, I won’t be sleepy anymore. Hachiman said impatiently, “Then I’ll go find Kaguya. If there’s nothing important, don’t let anyone else come in and disturb me.”

But after hearing this, Hayasaka Ai's face looked a little strange, and she said, "Mr. Hikigaya."

"Well, what's wrong?" The man who transformed into King Gigi stopped.

Hayasaka Ai's expression was very strange. She seemed to want to laugh but was forcing herself to hold it back.

Finally, she bowed slightly and said, "Please enjoy your meal."

Hachiman's comment: "Sensible."

Then he trotted off to find Kaguya, but Hayasaka Ai's eyes stayed on him until he entered the room.

Hachiman came to the door of Kaguya's room, quietly opened the sliding door, and entered without making any sound.

He decided to give Kaguya a surprise. After all, even as a couple, they needed a little excitement in their daily lives.

The room was filled with a light orchid scent, which was different from the violets that Kaguya used to like. The orchid scent was much "colder".

Could it be that Kaguya has grown through the training during this period, and even her taste has become more mature?

With this in mind, Hachiman tiptoed to the inner room.

Inside the inner room, the sunlight from the courtyard shines on the tatami, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold inner room.

Perhaps because she had just finished a shower, Kaguya's burgundy hair was loose, covering her delicate neck as white as mutton-fat jade.

She was wearing a white shirt that did not fit her petite figure at all. The shirt covered her hips like a skirt, leaving only two beautiful legs as white and slender as jade lotus roots.

Kaguya seemed to be enjoying the warm sunshine and didn't even button up her shirt.

Behind her, Hachiman could even see the mysterious purple underwear through the half-white shirt.

Hachiman was really moved to see Kaguya like this, and even remembered that this shirt was the one he left for Kaguya.

It is the so-called boyfriend shirt, and it really has a different charm when worn on Kaguya.

Unable to hold back any longer, Hachiman quietly stepped forward and decided to give Kaguya a surprise.

He made sure his steps made no sound. Although he could only see Kaguya's back, he had no doubt that she was enjoying the sunshine with her eyes closed.

When he was only two or three steps away from Kaguya, Hachiman pounced on Kaguya like a hungry tiger, wanting to eat the girl up.

But when she was in mid-air, she saw Kaguya turn her head, and Hachiman saw a pair of dark black eyes. There was no reflection in the eyes, and she looked at everything in the world coldly. This was an expression Hachiman had never seen on Kaguya's face.

The next moment, Kaguya grabbed his right hand with both hands, and took advantage of his flying force to turn around. It was hard to imagine how such a petite body could have enough strength to throw him over the shoulder, but the next moment, Hachiman fell heavily to the ground. Then, Kaguya stepped on Hachiman's chest with her feet.
