Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

In the face of life and death, nothing else matters.

The corners of her mouth gently curled up into a reckless smile that belonged to a young girl.

Holding a man's back, I feel extremely safe.

She burst into laughter.

"Faster! Faster!" she continued.

*

The top of Mount Tanzawa in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, is a great place to watch the sunrise. Lush green vegetation surrounds the mountains, and the winding roads are covered with fallen leaves. The sunlight shines through the morning mist onto the top of the mountain, golden like divine light.

At the entrance to the top of the mountain, the roar gradually subsided. Hachiman took off the helmet for the girl, but Nino seemed to still be immersed in the excitement of high speed, and her boiling blood had not cooled down yet.

As Hachiman helped her take off her helmet, he couldn't help but complain: "You little lunatic, do you know how fast we were going at the end? It was close to 300 kilometers. Tsk tsk, and you're still shouting that we need to go faster."

Nino was still excited and said, "But it's fun, isn't it?"

Hachiman patted her head and then walked into the park on the top of the mountain. Nino gently touched the place where he had patted her.

"Thank you!" the girl said sincerely.

After such a special experience, Nino seems to be able to accept herself now more calmly, and has also let go of her feelings for the boy.

But she also knew that the other party was not obligated to help her like this, especially to risk his life to go crazy with her.

Hachiman didn't seem to care as he lit a cigarette. His fingers were trembling a little, not as calm as he imagined. But he still said calmly: "It's nothing. After all, I promised your sister."

Nino was silent. Hachiman had emphasized several times that he helped her because he promised his sister. However, this was not the answer Nino wanted to hear.

Nino wants others to help her because of Nino herself, not because of anyone else.

Nino looked at the rising sun on the top of the mountain. It was so different from the rising sun in the sea breeze and the blue sea just now.

The girl stroked her hair and asked, "Why are you willing to help my sister like this? It's not just me, it also includes Miku and Mayu, right?"

Hachiman thought about the interests of the Shinomiya family. However, that was not the answer the girl wanted to hear at this time.

Hachiman smiled and said, "Maybe it's because your sister gave me her first kiss. A girl's first kiss is worth more than gold, so there's nothing wrong with doing something for her."

His judgment standard for things is different from that of ordinary people. It can be simply summarized in one sentence:

Money can't buy you my joy.

Thinking of how Ichika gave him her first kiss on a snowy night with a determined heart in order to break away from her past, Hachiman was somewhat touched.

Nino heard an answer that was somewhat expected, and thought of Yotsuba. Is it possible that competing for the same man is an inescapable curse for the Nakano sisters?

Nino raised her head, looked at Hachiman, and asked, "Are you and my sister a couple?"

Hachiman shook his head and said, "No."

He did not hide it, but told Nino directly what Ichika was thinking. She kissed Hachiman not out of love, but more like a symbolic meaning.

After hearing this, Nino's eyes were a little complicated, and she said softly: "Ichika, you idiot."

Although the five sisters are equal, Ichika is born first, so she always has a self-righteous sense of responsibility to take care of her sisters. In fact, she is always the one who sacrifices the most.

But at this moment, Nino was unwilling to accept Ichika's favor. She said to Hachiman, "Hey, come here."

"I won't say hello"

"What nonsense."

Hachiman quietly walked up to the girl and said, "What's wrong?"

Nino tiptoed gently, otherwise, Hachiman would be too good for her.

The next moment, Hachiman felt his cheeks were a little wet and had a nice touch.

Before Hachiman could react, Nino gently took a few steps back, her cheeks a little red and her eyes a little watery.

She raised her hand with some force and extended her fingers.

"My affairs have nothing to do with Ichika. I don't need her favor. This is my thank you gift to you. Don't think of it in the wrong way!"

Chapter 10: Nino, you don't want Ichika to get hurt, right?

This is a proud girl. Even when she is "down and out", she does not need the favor of others, especially the favor of her sisters.

How interesting, Hachiman thought, even though they are quintuplets, Ichika's gentleness and sense of responsibility are so different from Nino's pride. The personalities of the sisters are very different.

Hachiman felt the soft touch on his cheek and looked at the girl with a half-smile.

Although Nino looked straight at Hachiman bravely, her cheeks were already slightly red.

It was all Ichika's fault. He made her feel competitive and that's why she kissed him.

However, she, Nakano Nino, has a bit of a heroic spirit and rarely regrets what she has done.

"What are you laughing at?" Nino didn't even realize that there was a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

"I'm just wondering, why didn't you kiss on the lips?" Hachiman asked curiously.

As a result, Nino let out a sigh, looked at this shameless Minato and said, "How shameless."

Even though she was provoked by Ichika, Nino still knew her limits and couldn't give it her all like Ichika.

Besides, kissing is something that should be done with the person you love.

Hachiman smiled and said nothing more. As long as the girl could cheer up, it would be fine. He walked to the park on the top of Mount Tanzawa and watched the rising sun. Nino followed him silently and pursed her lips.

"I've decided." Nino said, looking at Hachiman's golden hair.

"What has been decided?" Hachiman turned around and asked.

"Sure enough, we should go home and let Yotsuba and Fuutarou see what we look like." Nino said energetically.

She had just said she wanted to give up, but after the motorcycle ride, she changed her mind.

"Have you decided?" Hachiman looked at her and asked.

"Yes, it's decided." Nino said affirmatively without a trace of reluctance.

Her mood was different now. If she had felt a little reluctant to let Hachiman pretend to be her boyfriend before, now she was completely relieved and just wanted to show her attitude and proof to Yotsuba and Fuutarou.

Nino can live well on her own now, so don't worry about her anymore.

"Then I can charge new fees. In addition to the special service of the motorcycle ride, I will charge a little surcharge." Hachiman said calmly.

Nino looked at him and couldn't understand this guy. He looked extremely poor, but he didn't seem to be pretending. However, the price of this Honda motorcycle should be no less than 10 million yen.

"It's up to you." Nino didn't care at all.

She is indeed a rich lady, Hachiman thought to himself.

"By the way, you said Yotsuba and Fuutarou know you?" Nino asked.

It's not just acquaintance, there's also some grudge involved. Hachiman nodded slightly.

Nino frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, then I need to help you change your identity. Anyway, your current attire has changed."

"No problem. Now I am Hikigaya Kyuuban, the younger brother of Hikigaya Hachiman."

He is also Kasumigaoka Utaha's fiancé.

I, Hikigaya Kyuuban, am here again.

Nino glanced at him and said, "I see you are quite skilled at switching identities."

Hachiman laughed, not minding Nino's teasing, and continued: "Then, my identity is a gangster in the Nitta Group."

"Nitta Group?" Nino asked curiously.

"Tsk, how come you forgot about those young men who just attacked you and Mami in the blink of an eye?" Hachiman patted her head.

It's because you gave her too much sense of security, so she was easily dealt with by you before she even posed a threat.

After the discussion, Nino was in a good mood and said, "By the way, let's take a photo here too."

"Hey, do you want to take more pictures?" Hachiman asked doubtfully.

I actually took a lot of photos at the beach just now.

Nino didn't explain, but hummed softly and said, "This photo is different."

Hachiman didn't care. The two of them stood next to the guardrail, without trying to act close. Nino just hugged Hachiman's right arm, and they took a photo together facing the sunshine on the lush mountain top.

Nino seemed to take this photo very seriously and continued post-processing with her phone. Hachiman went to check the condition of the motorcycle. After all, it was almost at top speed. Although the motorcycle had just been maintained, it was still necessary to check it for safety.

After Nino finished editing the photo, she glanced at Hachiman's back and sent the photo to Ichika's private LINE.

After a while, Hachiman shouted, "Let's go back to the city."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Nino shouted.

Just at this moment, Nino's cell phone rang. She opened the phone and saw a new message on LINE. The girl opened it.

"What do you mean?"

There is only one sentence on LINE.

Nino smiled knowingly and looked at the back of the man who was checking the motorcycle.

This time, she won't lose.

*

About an hour later, this time Hachiman didn't ride very fast, and the two rode the motorcycle back to downtown Tokyo. Originally, Hachiman planned to go directly to Nino's house. He had taken Ichika home last time, so Hachiman knew the way there.

But when they passed a commercial street, Nino patted Hachiman on the shoulder and said, "Hey, stop, I want to buy some milk tea."

That’s why little girls are really troublesome and cause a lot of trouble.

But Hachiman still stopped. After Nino took off her helmet and got out of the car, she said, "By the way, you should practice your gangster tone. The tone you used just now was totally wrong. What about me and uncle? There was no sense of oppression at all."

Nino accused.

Hachiman frowned slightly and asked, "What else can we do?"

He has never been a gangster, so how does he know what it's like to be scolded to death by the Yakuza?

Nino rolled her eyes at him and said, "Think for yourself, well, you need to look a little fierce and mean, I'll check it when I come back later."

"It's really not easy to earn your money, Miss Nino." Hachiman couldn't help but complain.

"Stop talking nonsense." After saying that, Nino waved her hand and ran into the milk tea shop on the shopping street.

As Hachiman put the motorcycle away, he said, "You didn't even ask to buy me a drink."

After letting go of the motorcycle, he ran to the bathroom, still wondering what a fierce and despicable gangster should be like.

Well, that's the only one he's familiar with.

Just as Hachiman was thinking this and leaving the bathroom, he happened to see Nino walking by with a cup of milk tea.

It’s strange. He saw that there were quite a lot of people in the milk tea shop just now, but he bought one so quickly?

But Hachiman didn't care much about it. Thinking of the fierce and despicable tricks, he walked up and grabbed the girl's arm.

Nino seemed to be looking at him in surprise, but Hachiman ignored her and dragged the girl into the alley, then pressed her against the wall with a wall bang.

"Is it you?" Nino's voice trembled a little.

Hachiman tilted his head. He was actually acting?

"Don't do anything rash, or I'll shout." Nino said timidly.

Not bad, not bad, this is just right for me. Hachiman grinned, revealing a sinister smile, and said, "Nakano Nino, you don't want Nakano Ichika to get hurt, do you?"

Well, after thinking about it, Hachiman still didn't know what a gangster should look like, so he could only use the one he was most familiar with.

Chapter 11 Yellow Hair Is Still Suitable for Me

"Nakano Nino, you don't want Ichika to get hurt, do you?"

Hachiman looked at the girl with a sinister expression. But he thought to himself, this guy is not a gangster, but a yellow-haired guy.

Unexpectedly, the girl looked at him in astonishment, as if she was really frightened.

Oh, that's just right.

You were so arrogant and domineering just now, why are you so weak now?
