Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Chizuru glanced at Hachiman with mixed feelings. No one could tell whether silver jewelry could reflect one's thoughts, but it was true that silver jewelry was cheap.

Suddenly, Mami next to him smiled and said, "The silver jewelry store you mentioned specializes in selling a kind of silver jewelry called silver filigree craft. It's very beautiful. I see a lot of middle-aged ladies picking things there. I know someone who can give me a discount."

Hearing even Asami say this, Kazuya nodded as well.

Then Hachiman said, "And some ginseng tea for your father."

Kazuya said curiously, "Do you have any better ideas? But my father is more concerned about his appearance."

In other words, there can be no more tricks in giving gifts to his father.

Hachiman shook his head and said, "No, ginseng tea is good. I just remembered something. What brand of ginseng tea do you want to buy?"

He also mentioned a brand name.

Hachiman picked up his phone, and under everyone's gaze, he dialed the number, and then said: "Yukino, did Councillor Miga from Wakaba District send us a few boxes of ginseng tea? Well, can you have someone send two boxes over? The address is..."

After hanging up the phone, Hachiman smiled and said, "You don't have to buy it. My house just so happens to have a lot of New Year gifts from others, and my girlfriend is still worried about what to do with these things."

It is true that for the Yukinoshita family, dealing with the mountains of gifts every year is a hassle.

Chizuru hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, and then Hachiman smiled and said, "Instead of selling it in a used store online, I might as well sell it to you at half the price. It's just right for me to clear out my stock. Speaking of which, Miss Chizuru is still an employee of our company, so I'll give you an internal price as a benefit."

Kazuya seemed to feel relieved and said, "Hey, is it really possible?"

"No problem. If these things are not disposed of, they will be thrown into the warehouse."

Kazuya nodded slightly. In fact, his family was sometimes in the same situation, so he was not surprised by Hachiman's thoughts.

The value of a product is different for different people.

But Chizuru was not as naive as her boyfriend. She knew that Hachiman was deliberately helping her and was aware of her predicament.

Maybe Hachiman knew that Chizuru would not accept it if he said he would give it to her directly. That's why he said it was half price and talked about second-hand store and employee benefits.

This kind of casual consideration was in stark contrast to Kazuya's attitude just now, which made Chizuru feel even more complicated.

This is not even about money, Kazuya is not short of money. But he is always self-centered in dealing with things, not paying attention to other people's feelings, which is immature, like a high school boy.

However, Kazuya is just a high school boy, and she knows Kazuya-kun's strengths.

In the final analysis, once you have seen the ocean, you will never be impressed by other waters. I am being too harsh on myself.

After the four of them discussed it, they saw the silver jewelry store with unique craftsmanship in the mall, and finally chose an exquisite silver bracelet woven with fine silver threads. What Hachiman didn't expect was that Asami actually knew someone, and gave Chizuru a 10% discount when she checked out, so the price was already within Chizuru's acceptable range.

Because they still had to wait for the people from Chiba to deliver the ginseng tea, everyone could not leave the mall for the time being.

Hachiman asked Chizuru, "Have you received any notice recently?"

Due to the intervention of Hachiman, the short drama project of ByteDance Group needs to be readjusted and cannot be launched so quickly. Therefore, Chizuru cannot join the crew for the time being. However, after Chizuru signed the artist contract, Yang No provided her with a formal agent. The biggest benefit is that he can help Chizuru get resources and run announcements, and her acting career is just about to begin.

For Yawata's company, letting Chizuru accumulate some acting experience first, so that when the future drama is decided, Chizuru can adapt to the crew as quickly as possible.

Qianzuru said with some distress: "I did take a role, it's about a high school girl who got into a gang and was forced to round a role."

Hachiman looked at Chizuru with a half-smile, and Chizuru said with a little annoyance: "What can I do? I don't get to choose the role now. I am satisfied as long as I can act."

Hachiman said innocently, "I didn't say anything. Did you encounter any problems?"

Qianzuru said somewhat unwillingly: "The director said that I was not into the role enough and did not act like a round-cornered JK."

Just when Hachiman wanted to say something, Kazuya next to him was not very happy, and he always felt that he could not keep up with the topic between the two. Moreover, since Chizuru got an agent, he had less contact with Chizuru. Most of the time, Chizuru was either in the crew or busy memorizing the script and auditioning. Kazuya always felt that Chizuru suddenly became a member of society, which made him a little confused.

It's just that right now, he doesn't want Chizuru to have too much contact with Hikigaya Hachiman.

"By the way, it's pretty boring just sitting here. Are there any fun places nearby?" Kazuya said.

In fact, he just wanted to change the subject, but unexpectedly, Mami said enthusiastically: "I have a friend who opened a tattoo shop nearby. I agreed to go to her place to have fun. Elbow, let's go over there."

Kazuya was a little surprised, but Hachiman and Chizuru had no objection. Hachiman just complained, "You have so many friends," and followed Mami.

Soon, the four of them arrived at an exquisite little shop. Asami's so-called friend was the proprietress here. Unlike the stereotype, she was about the same age as Hachiman and had a girl-next-door smile.

"Ami-chan, you actually came here. I thought you were fooling me." The neighboring proprietress said with a smile.

"What are you talking about? I just wanted to come over and see if there are any interesting new things. I even brought my boyfriend with me." Mami said with a giggle.

Hearing that her boyfriend had come over, Kazuya subconsciously looked up, and then saw Asami throwing herself on Hachiman. He naturally turned around and pretended to look at the decoration inside the store.

Hachiman pushed Asami away with some disgust and said, "She was joking. I'm just her friend."

The proprietress seemed to know how unreliable Mami was, so she just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

At this time, Kazuya said, "Are there usually a lot of gangsters coming here to support business?"

With just one sentence, the atmosphere in the store became a little cold. Kazuya was still confused, wondering if he had said something wrong.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. After all, the impression of tattoos in Japan is that they are gangsters. Apart from the Yakuza, no decent person would get a tattoo. There is even a rule in public baths that people with tattoos cannot enter.

What he said was true, it's just that there's a kind of KY (not pronounced air) beauty to pointing at a monk and scolding a bald man.

However, the lady boss didn't seem to care much. After all, she was used to being misunderstood in this industry. She smiled and said, "I usually take orders from customers, but I don't pay much attention to what their occupations are. What's more, we have expanded our business now. We don't just specialize in tattoos, we also sell tattoo stickers, which are quite popular among young people."

The lady boss took out a sticker-like thing from the basket on the table. It had vine-like patterns on it. Once you stick it on, it will have the effect of a tattoo. It is painless and not as difficult to wash off as traditional tattoos. This is very popular among young people who are a little rebellious and want to try something new but are not very brave. It is also the key direction for the transformation of traditional tattoo shops, such as customized tattoo stickers.

Hachiman took a look and unexpectedly found something very special.

For example, um, honeysuckle pattern stickers.

Chapter III Quarantine Certificate

When Hachiman saw the honeysuckle tattoo sticker, his mind suddenly became filled with associations. If he didn't know, he would have thought it was a sex toy store.

And this is just one of them. There are many weird tattoo stickers. For example, he saw a tattoo sticker that said "Public Toilet".

Even Kinoshita Kazuya couldn't help but cast his eyes towards Hachiman. The lady boss didn't seem embarrassed. After all, she was a professional. She said, "Recently, many young couples and girls who play COS like to stick this. Especially those that stick under the belly, the sales are much higher than those of ordinary shapes."

Kinoshita Kazuya was amazed, as if he had opened the door to a new world, and then he couldn't help but look at Chizuru. If Chizuru could also have a honeysuckle tattoo on her belly and be intimate with him, he couldn't help but fantasize in his mind.

However, with a serious personality like Chizuru, she would definitely not want to do this, and Kazuya felt a little sorry about it.

Nanami Asami glanced at Kazuya, not knowing what was on her mind, and then said to Chizuru, "Chizuru-chan, aren't you thinking about how to look like a round-necked JK? Why don't you try a tattoo? It will make you look more like one."

After hearing this, Chizuru couldn't help but feel proud, but she didn't want to touch those that were too extreme. She just picked up a tattoo sticker with a handwritten signature in English. It looked like it had some sense of design and would be more suitable if printed on her hand.

So she couldn't help but ask, "Um, is this waterproof? Will it fade when it comes into contact with water? Also, is it difficult to wash off?"

The lady boss smiled and said, "My tattoo stickers are made with a brand new process, a special dyeing starch. The color won't fade when it comes in contact with water. However, if you use a special cleaning solution, it can be easily wiped off without leaving any traces. You can ask Mami about this. She bought some from me before and used it."

Mami nodded continuously and said, "This stuff is very difficult to remove if you don't wash it off specifically."

Kazuya couldn't help but ask, "What if there's an emergency?"

The proprietress smiled and said, "It's not that there is no solution."

Hachiman said, "Could it be with saliva?"

This time it was the boss lady's turn to be surprised: "How did you know?"

"You are talking about this special kind of starch. It is common knowledge that there is amylase in saliva." Hachiman said.

The proprietress looked at Hachiman with some surprise, and Asami happily hugged Hachiman and said, "See, my boyfriend is amazing, isn't he?"

The lady boss laughed and said, "Well, if there are special circumstances, you can try to handle it this way."

Then, Mami started to pick out tattoo stickers like crazy. In addition to the honeysuckle tattoo that Hachiman had just asked about, there were also tattoo stickers with a series of popular words such as "public toilet", "sow", "positive", etc.

Even the proprietress couldn't help but ask, "Mami, you're going to play so big this time."

Mami blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "I'm going to have a big fight with uncle tonight."

Kazuya couldn't help but look at his ex-girlfriend, and in his mind, he saw the charming image of Asami with honeysuckle tattoos on her lower abdomen and various fonts printed on the edges of her thighs, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly. However, the next moment, he saw the image of Hikigaya Hachiman pressing Asami under him and letting her enjoy his pleasure, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

So he couldn't help but say, "Ama Mi-chan, don't you have to go home to be with your parents tonight?"

Mami's smile couldn't help but pause, and she said, "Didn't I tell you that I don't have a mother?"

What a hell of a joke?

Although he is the ex-boyfriend, Kazuya doesn't know much about Nanami Asami. He knows that he has made a mistake and looks a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I didn't know."

Mami suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't care."

Chizuru looked at Mami who had become generous and felt a little strange.

Soon, Mami selected a bunch of tattoo stickers, and then said to Chizuru: "Chizuru-chan, you come and help me put them on, I won't ask the boss lady for help."

Chizuru thought it was nothing, so she nodded. Then, Mami suddenly said, "I suddenly want to drink milk tea."

Knowing that he had said something wrong, Kazuya, who was eager to make amends, immediately said, "I'll go, I'll go buy milk tea for everyone, but is there a milk tea shop nearby?"

The lady boss said, "After you exit the mall, turn right and walk about two kilometers. There is one, but it's quite far away."

After hearing this, Asami said with regret: "Is that so? Forget it then. It's too much trouble for Kazuya-kun."

Now Hachiman felt strange. When did you, a little bitch, consider other people's feelings?

Kazuya quickly said, "It doesn't matter. We're just sitting here waiting anyway. Can you please give me an address, Madam Boss?"

Asami immediately showed a happy expression and said, "Thank you so much, I'm so happy, Kazuya-kun is really gentle."

Kazuya was getting happier. He didn't expect that Mami would praise him just for helping to buy milk tea. When he was dating her before, it was a matter of course.

Obviously he didn't manage his facial expressions very well. He acted so happy about his ex-girlfriend's words in front of his current girlfriend. Chizuru didn't know what to say.

Soon Kazuya himself realized this, and quickly put away his smile. After receiving the address of the milk tea shop from the proprietress, he left the tattoo shop.

Chizuru felt a little strange in her heart. She always felt that Asami intentionally sent Kazuya away, but she couldn't think of any reason.

But never mind, there are so many weird things about this guy Mami.

Soon, Chizuru was caught by Asami, leaving Hachiman alone to look the proprietress in the eye.

In the tattoo room, Qianzuru looked around curiously. It looked clean. There was a bed in the middle with white bedding. It should be used for tattoos. However, the tattoo stickers they were playing with now would not be needed.

Mami picked up the remote control of the air conditioner and turned down the temperature without hesitation. Soon Chizuru felt a little cold and said, "Why did you turn the temperature down so low? It's cold enough outside."

Asami smiled and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to dry the tattoo as quickly as possible after it was put on."

Chizuru felt something was strange, but since Mami knew more about tattoos, she didn't say anything. Soon Mami started to take off her skirt, leaving only a pair of black lace panties on her lower body. Chizuru couldn't help but look sideways, as the color and pattern were a bit bold for her.

Asami began to choose tattoo stickers, Chizuru couldn't help but say, "Asami, do you really want to put so many tattoo stickers on your body?"

Mami said in a somewhat strange tone: "What else?"

Chizuru pursed her lips and said, "Are you really going to do that with Mr. Hikigaya tonight?"

Mami suddenly laughed and said, "If Chizuru-chan says you don't want to, I don't have to do it with Mr. Hikigaya, as long as Chizuru-chan is willing to ask."

Qianzuru didn't expect the other party to answer like this: "I"

Then she couldn't say anything, as she saw Asami narrow her eyes slightly, as if searching her mind.

"Are you uncomfortable hearing that I'm going to sleep with an uncle?" Asami took a few steps towards Chizuru, as if questioning her.

Chizuru still didn't know how to answer. Just when she felt a little embarrassed, Mami smiled and said, "I knew Chizuru actually cared about me. Don't worry, I will take safety measures."

Qianhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she inexplicably felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Chizuru-chan, can you please help me put this on my butt? I can't reach it with my own hands."

Chizuru was so surprised that she was speechless when she saw the tattoo sticker on her hand that read "Sow Quarantine Passed".

*

"Chizuru-chan, hurry up, your butt is freezing!" Asami said anxiously.

Qianhe couldn't help but complain: "Who told you to turn the air conditioner down so low?"

The girl tore off the backing paper of the sticker, and then pressed the sticker on Mami's exposed butt. Then she tore it off, and finally, the words "Sow quarantine passed" were printed on Mami's butt.

Qianzuru felt it was a bit awkward and weird watching it.

"Chizuru-chan, is it done?" Asami asked.

Chizuru hummed, and Asami quickly put on her long skirt, giggling.

Chizuru asked in confusion: "Asami, don't you think posting words like this is a waste of your dignity?"

The girl was puzzled.

But Mami blinked and said, "But, Chizuru-chan, if you can make the person you like happy, you will also be happy if you do it yourself."

After hearing this, Chizuru could not help but fall silent. Mami said maliciously: "Why don't you put the honeysuckle pattern on your lower abdomen and let Kazuya see it. He will definitely be very happy."
