Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Ichika pulled her into her father's study. Before she had time to pay attention to the serious-looking middle-aged man, she unexpectedly saw two familiar figures.

Shinomiya Kaguya and the maid Hayasaka Ai.

Shinomiya Kaguya was holding a black fan, but at the moment she seemed to have a headache, and she gently tapped her forehead with the fan.

Bing Huiye said in the tone of treating a naughty child: "Although I have long known that you are very good at provoking girls, I didn't expect that you would offend the daughter of the Nakano family."

Hachiman: “???”

Hayasaka Ai explained for her master: "Ms. Kaguya was invited by Mr. Nakano Maruo. If Mr. Hikigaya really did something to Miss Nakano Ichika, let us clean up the mess ourselves and not affect the long-standing friendship between the Shinomiya family and the Nakano family."

Hachiman probably understood what was going on. He hadn't reacted when Ichika said his last name was Nakano Hachiman. After all, this last name was very common, but he didn't expect it to be the Nakano family in the Liberal Democratic Party. This family started out in the medical industry, involving a series of medical-related industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical equipment manufacturing, and hospitals. He is not only a representative of the parliament, but also one of the few financial sponsors of the Liberal Democratic Party, and has always maintained a good relationship with the Shinomiya family.

At this time of internal turmoil within the Liberal Democratic Party, the support of the Nakano family is even more important to the Shinomiya family.

If at this time, Hachiman brought disaster to the daughter of the Nakano family, the scene would be so beautiful that Hachiman even imagined the scene where the annoyed Kaguya would sink him into Tokyo Bay out of justice.

Hachiman quickly declared his innocence: "Who do you think I am? Today, I helped Miss Nakano out of a sense of justice, and even treated her to a Christmas dinner. In the end, I sent her back intact. I didn't even touch Miss Nakano with a finger."

Yihua twitched her lips and looked speechlessly at the man who quickly distanced himself from her.

Although I know he is an old sea king, I still feel unhappy when it really happens to me.

My first kiss was thrown to the dog.

Chapter 39: An Eldest Sister is Like a Mother

Ichika was so angry at the way Hachiman was complaining.

This is someone's first kiss, are you just going to pretend nothing happened?

Don't even dare to admit it?

Although Ichika knew that Hachiman's denial would be good for her, she was still very unhappy.

Ichika resisted the urge to pinch Hachiman's waist, otherwise she would really look like a little wife, she asked in a low voice.

"Who are these two ladies?"

Perhaps Kaguya also heard Ichika's question, and said bluntly: "My name is Shinomiya Kaguya. Unfortunately, I am the wife of the thing next door to you, Miss Nakano."

"What is that thing, that thing!" Hachiman was very dissatisfied.

Even if you are Bing Huiye, you still lack respect for your husband.

Ichika covered her mouth, seeming a little bit unbelieving: "Is this your wife? Aren't you Miss Yukino's fiancé?"

Hachiman explained seriously: "In Chiba, I am a Chiba person and the fiancé of Yukinoshita Yukino. In Tokyo, I am a Tokyo person and the husband of Shinomiya Kaguya. Some things can only be seen clearly by existing in between the two."

Yihua was so angry that she laughed: "Why are you so proud? Isn't this just pure philandering?"

"No, this is called responsibility. As a Heisei man, I will never abandon any girl who likes me." Hachiman pounded his chest and swore.

Ichika took two steps back and said to the indifferent Kaguya: "It's a pity that this thing is your husband."

Ichika even felt a little sorry for the beautiful Kaguya.

She is such a beautiful person, why did she fall into this pile of shit?

Hey, if Hachiman is a piece of shit, then my words are just shit and don’t count.

"Who said it wasn't?" Bing Huiye shook her head slightly, as if she agreed with Ichika's words.

"I think you two have insulted me enough." Hachiman said unhappily.

The two girls snorted and turned their heads away. At this moment, Ichika's father, Nakano Maruo, took over the topic, holding a document that seemed to be a file in his hand, and spoke softly.

"Hikigaya Hachiman, 2 years old this year, was born in an ordinary civil servant family in Chiba. He attended Chiba Sobu High School. He was spotted by the second daughter of the famous Yukinoshita family in Chiba, and became a son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family. He used to be a city councilor in Chiba. Later, he met Miss Kaguya Shinomiya during the competition for county councilors. He has a good relationship with Princess Minamoto no Raikou of Chiba. During a series of internal conflicts in the Shinomiya family, he helped Miss Kaguya become the head of the Shinomiya family, and he himself became the son-in-law of the Shinomiya family. He is also the president of ByteDance Group, where the popular social short video software TIKTIK is located."

Hachiman heard the other party talking about his resume, and only then did he look at the serious middle-aged man in front of him. He was a little thin, which made him look younger than his actual age. His tone was cold and seemed a little unkind. Moreover, his appearance seemed to be different from Ichika and Yotsuba.

Hachiman glanced at Kaguya, only to see her shaking her head, as if to say that this was not something she had revealed.

Of course, the files on Hachiman in Nakano Maruo's hands are not complete. For example, he is not only the son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family and the Shinomiya family, but also the son-in-law of the Genji. Of course, this point is hidden more deeply. This also means that although Nakano Maruo spent half a day collecting information about him, the coverage is wide enough, but the depth is not enough, and most of it is public information.

But before Hachiman could say anything, Ichika said nervously, "Father! What do you mean by this?"

It is extremely rude to investigate your friend's information in this way.

But Nakano Maruo said coldly: "I asked you to go on a blind date with the son of the Arai family, but you left your bodyguards behind and ran away. Shouldn't I investigate Mr. Hikigaya's information?"

This is what every father should and will do.

Ichika became even angrier and said, "It's all your fault, father, for forcing me to go on a blind date. And who were the people you chose? That guy looked at me with lustful eyes."

"It's just a young man, what's so strange about that? If you don't like the son of the Arai family, I will choose other young talents for you."

"I don't want anyone, and I look down on everyone." Ichika said coldly.

Nakano Maruo seemed to have no reaction to his daughter's resistance, and continued calmly: "Ichika, I gave you two choices at the beginning, one was to go on a blind date, and the other was to study abroad. You chose the blind date, so don't regret it now."

Ichika shook her head and said, "It's not me who chose the blind date, but you forced me to go on a blind date. Otherwise, you would have sent the other four sisters except Yotsuba to study in different countries, and you know I would never agree to that."

Nakano Maruo looked at the girl in front of him who looked like the white moonlight in his heart, and his tone was still calm: "How about letting me watch the four of you continue to degenerate because of the sadness of not being able to get Uesugi Fuutarou, and even unable to live a normal life? Rather than this, it is better to let you separate for a few years."

Despite his calm tone, Nakano Maruo felt a little anxious inside, regretting that he had allowed Uesugi Fuutarou to become the five sisters' tutor.

He tried to stop them, but by then, Uesugi Fuutarou had already established a bond with them. Even if it meant running away from home, they were unwilling to sever their relationship with Fuutarou.

Ultimately, he succumbed to the courage shown by the five sisters.

Just like their mother, stubborn and obstinate.

But at that time, Nakano Maruo had a hidden worry in his heart. Compared with the stubborn boys and girls, as the adoptive father of five sisters, he had more experience in life.

His worry was simple, a simple matter of numbers. There was only one Fuutarou, but they had five.

In the end, his worries became a reality. Uesugi Fuutarou chose Yotsuba, which also meant he rejected Ichika, Nino, Miku and Satsuki.

This is not a game for beautiful girls. As long as you conquer one of the girls, you can live happily ever after.

Except for Yotsuba, all the daughters fell into a haze similar to that of a broken heart and were unable to get out of it.

Even on Christmas Day, he didn't want to go home.

Even so, Nakano Maruo still did not stop Yotsuba from dating Uesugi Fuutarou.

But he couldn't just watch his other daughters become decadent. What he wanted to do was to separate them and let them slowly walk out of the unfamiliar environment.

Even if his daughters will end up hating him as a father.

"No, I have decided to move on and will not indulge in it anymore. But I will not let you, father, send Nino, Miku and Mayu abroad. The five of us sisters must always be together. This was our mother's wish before she died. I will help them move on." Ichika said firmly.

"How can you guarantee that you can do it? Mere words have no power." But Nakano Maruo still denied it.

"Because I'm the eldest sister, I was born into this world earlier than them. Since our mother is gone, I have the responsibility and obligation to help my younger sisters. This is my promise." Ichika said firmly, placing her hand gently on her chest.

Chapter 40: Mr. Hikigaya, you don’t want to...

Ichika's words silenced everyone, and they all felt the girl's determination.

Although all five sisters are equal, only Ichika is different. No matter if she gave up Fuutarou or not, she now protects the other sisters. Because she is the eldest daughter, because she was born earlier than the other sisters. Because her mother once stroked her head and said before she died: "Ichika, you are the elder sister, you must take good care of the other sisters."

So the sisters can't be separated like this, they have to stay together forever.

Nakano Maruo was silent for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "I understand your intention, but I won't agree. Let's not talk about you, Nino Miku and Mayu both need a new environment. Especially Miku, you don't want her to continue to be like this, right? She can't stay in Shuchiin anymore."

Thinking of how Miku was unwilling to even go out of the door, Ichika's heart sank. Perhaps it was really as her father said, and it would be better for Miku to change her to a new environment.

However, they sisters will be separated from each other. She doesn't want to be together since they were born, but she also thinks that what her father said is right, so she is very conflicted at the moment.

Subconsciously, Ichika turned her gaze to Hachiman. Even though she knew Hachiman was an outsider, he was the only one Ichika could turn to for help now.

Hachiman accepted Ichika's request for help, but he was a little hesitant. After all, if he was involved with Ichika, Nakano Maruo, as his father, would probably not be happy.

If I get in the way and Bing Huiye has to clean up the mess, she will probably look down on me even more.

Perhaps sensing Hachiman's hesitation, Ichika stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Please, Hikigaya-kun, help me. You don't want your father to know that we kissed, do you?"

This Liben woman, please take a moment to savor it.

He even threatened her. Hachiman regretted not being able to control his mouth and couldn't help but glare at Ichika.

The girl gently stuck out her tongue, which was cute.

Don’t think you will be forgiven if you act cute!

"What's wrong, Mr. Hikigaya?" Nakano Maruo became wary when he saw the little interaction between his daughter and Hachiman.

If the poor boy Fuutarou Uesugi could barely get into the eyes of his father-in-law because of his good character and excellent grades, then the Hikigaya Hachiman in front of him was a piece of biochemical garbage that he absolutely could not let his daughters touch. Her emotional relationships were extremely messy, and all the men she hooked up with were daughters of powerful and influential families.

Could it be that he wanted his daughter to become sisters with the young lady of the Shinomiya family?

Hachiman still doesn't know that Nakano Maruo looks down on him as his father-in-law, but he will have to pay the price for his own love, and he really can't let Ichika reveal the fact that they kissed.

"Ichika-chan, how many people do you know in Shuchiin? What positions do they hold?"

"Why, why are you asking this? I'm the director of the performing arts department. Every year, I arrange performances for the Fengxin Festival. Well, I know a lot of people there." Although a little puzzled, Ichika still answered the other party's question.

"What about your other sisters?" Hachiman continued to ask.

"Nino knows a lot of girls. She's a member of the student union. Miku can't do that because she's shy. Yotsuba is the leader of the track and field club and a member of the sports committee. As for Satsuki, she likes food and has a group of like-minded people in the academy. They often go out to find food."

Then, Hachiman looked at Kaguya, only to see that Kaguya raised her eyebrows slightly. Hachiman smiled at her, and Kaguya glared at him in response.

As if to say, don't think I don't know what you are planning.

But so what, Bing Huiye would not get up early without benefits. But on the other hand, as long as there is benefit, she will strive for it.

"What's wrong, Miss Shinomiya?" Nakano Maruo asked in confusion.

Kaguya didn't keep the secret and explained directly: "Uncle Nakano, you also know that your niece is preparing to participate in the election of the chairman of the Shuchiin Institute recently, right?"

Nakano Maruo nodded slightly and said, "I have heard that Shuchiin has reformed the board of directors election this year. The chairman will be elected by all students through voting. What do you mean?"

Kaguya nodded and said, "Uncle Nakano, I know it's inappropriate to interfere in the family affairs of the Nakano family, but the daughters of the Nakano family seem to have a wide network of contacts in Shuchiin, which is very important for me who is about to participate in the election. If there is anything I can do to help the daughters, my husband and I will do our best."

Suddenly, Nakano Maruo hesitated, not knowing how to reject Kaguya. After all, the Shinomiya family was also an important ally of the Nakano family, and it was not easy to reject them bluntly.

Seeing his father's hesitation, Ichika said with a hint of excitement, "Please believe me, father. I will definitely lead everyone out of this."

Nakano Maruo looked at the excited Ichika and seemed to recall the appearance of their mother, who was also her teacher, Nakano Rena.

His cold expression softened a little. Unconsciously, these children had grown up. Should he let them go and try to walk their own paths?

He took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I can agree to your request."

But before Ichika could smile, Nakano Maruo continued, "But I'll only give you one semester. If your condition doesn't improve by then, I'll send you abroad to study, and you'll have to be obedient by then."

After hearing this, Yihua frowned slightly, knowing that this was her father's bottom line.

"I understand. That's all." It's better than being sent abroad to study now.

Ichika quickly expressed her gratitude to Hachiman: "Thank you, Mr. Hikigaya."

But before Hachiman could smile, Nakano Maruo added, "There is another condition, that is, you cannot have any ambiguous relationship with Mr. Hikigaya Hachiman. Otherwise, all the conditions mentioned above will be invalid, and I will send you out of the country immediately. Miss Kaguya, is this okay?"

He didn't want his daughter to fall into a wolf's pit just after escaping from the tiger's den.

The son-in-law can be anyone, but he must not be Hikigaya Hachiman, unless he has to step over his father's dead body.

Hachiman could see that although Mr. Nakano looked like an ice cube, he was actually a super daughter-control freak and would not allow his daughter to come to any harm.

"Hahaha, father, just relax. Mr. Hikigaya is such a playboy. How could I fall in love with such a scumbag?"

The same thing happened with that kiss. I gave it to him because I knew what kind of person he was and I would never fall in love with someone like him.

Hachiman couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "It was really in vain that I helped you just now."

Ichika gave him a smile as bright and blue as a sunflower.

Well, although they couldn't be lovers, she also knew that Hachiman was a righteous man. He would really help when something happened, just like what happened just now. This friend could get along well.

Chapter 41 When You Walked Past Me

Since she persuaded her father, she doesn't have to go on a blind date or go abroad. Today's Christmas is really a turn of events for her.

Therefore, she was in a good mood and sent Hachiman, Kaguya and the others out, while Yotsuba and Fuutarou watched it all from the side.

Yotsuba was a little confused as to why Ichika's mood had improved and she just frowned slightly, not liking the idea of ​​this strange man having anything to do with Ichika anymore.

After seeing Yihua send a few people out, Yotsuba asked, "Yihua, have you eaten?"
