Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

This is not something that is difficult to understand. After all, Fuutarou's own father is too unreliable. He is a good man but owes a lot of debts, which makes him, who is only in high school, feel uneasy and have to work to pay off his debts. Although he is neither a domestic abuser nor an alcoholic, it is really difficult to respect such a father.

But Mr. Nakano Maruo is different. He is calm, logical and organized in his work. He loves his daughter from the bottom of his heart but is not clingy. He is also very restrained in expressing his emotions. He can be said to be the opposite of his father and also his ideal image.

Because of this, after dating Yotsuba, she longed for Mr. Nakano's approval even more.

The reason for going abroad, in addition to the practical consideration of improving one's own living environment, is also partly to gain the recognition of Mr. Nakano and make him feel that he is worthy of Yotsuba, rather than leaving indifferently like now.

Fuutarou clenched his fists tightly and gently rang the doorbell of Nakano's house. Soon, someone came to open the door, and after seeing Fuutarou's appearance, he said with some disgust: "What? It's you."

Fuutarou smiled bitterly, then said, "Nino, good morning."

Nino nodded gently, then turned and called out, "Ichika, Fuutarou is here."

Ichika inside responded, and then there was a sound of hurried footsteps going up the stairs, obviously returning to the room.

Nino then stepped back and said, "Come in."

Fuutarou nodded gently. He knew that Ichika had returned to her room to change clothes. In the past, Ichika dressed casually at home, and sometimes Fuutarou didn't know where to put his eyes. But since he started dating Yotsuba, Ichika has paid more attention to her clothes at home, at least when he came to Nakano's house.

Fuutarou was slightly impressed by the small changes in the Nakano sisters, and followed Nino to the living room, where he was greeted by Yotsuba who came out with breakfast.

The girl immediately smiled gently: "Fuutarou, good morning, have you had breakfast?"

Fuutarou felt warm in his heart and said, "I have eaten, you guys can eat now, but be careful of the time, or you will be late if you delay too long."

Nino next to him couldn't help but complain: "I was the one who made breakfast."

After a while, May, who was a little sleepy, and Ichika, who had changed into a new suit, also came down and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast.

Fuutarou couldn't help but ask: "Um, where's Miku? Is she still sleeping?"

Suddenly, the originally relaxed atmosphere at the table became somewhat stagnant.

Fuutarou was a little confused, but finally, Nino couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Ah, really, let me tell you, Ichika and Miku had a big fight yesterday. Ichika told Miku to wear her school uniform to school today, but Miku didn't want to, so they started arguing, and Miku didn't leave her room today."

Fuutarou couldn't help but glance at Ichika, and saw Ichika pick up the bread on the table and said, "I'm going to school first. I still have storybooks to practice. You guys take your time to eat."

After saying that, she left, obviously annoyed by Miku's stubborn attitude.

As the eldest sister, she should have guided Miku to slowly come over, but the girl's stubborn attitude made Ichika gradually lose her patience, and a quarrel broke out at the beginning of the school year. Now Ichika is still angry and doesn't want to care about it anymore.

Ichika left the Nakano household directly. Yotsuba seemed to want to stop her, but in the end she remained silent.

Fuutarou waited until Ichika left and said, "How about I go and persuade Miku?"

The three girls couldn't help but look at him. There were still grains of rice at the corners of May's mouth.

Nino said impatiently: "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Why did Miku become like this?"

Yotsuba immediately interrupted her, "Nino!"

Yotsuba stared into Nino's eyes and said seriously, "Miku is isolating herself, it's her own problem. Everyone is trying their best to help her, and Fuutarou is no less worried than us. So stop saying those words that are venting your anger on others."

Erno knew he was unreasonable, so he just shut his mouth and turned away.

Even so, Fuutarou still said: "I still want to try."

Yotsuba nodded slightly, and Fuutarou went up to the second floor, came to Miku's door, and knocked gently.

There was no response, so Fuutarou said, "Miku, it's me, Fuutarou, can you open the door? I have something to tell you."

But to his disappointment, there was no response from inside, as if there was no one inside.

"Sanjiu, I'm going abroad soon. I miss the days when we used to talk and laugh. I hope we can still go to school together in the remaining days, even if we can't be lovers. But Sanjiu, you are all important family members to me. I really hope you can get better."

Fuutarou said sincerely, but unfortunately, there was still no response, and Miku even closed her heart to him.

After a long while, Yotsuba walked up and said, "Fuutarou, it's almost time to go to school."

Fuutarou nodded a little disappointedly, and Yotsuba said loudly: "Miku, there is a prepared breakfast in the refrigerator. If you are hungry, remember to heat it up in the microwave before eating."

Then Yotsuba took Fuutarou away.

In the second grade class in the Shuchiin teaching building, Nino looked at the new classmates around her with some curiosity, and said to Yotsuba beside her: "I didn't expect that you two would be grouped together, Fuutarou, did you really not tell the teacher? How could it be such a coincidence?"

Fuutarou smiled and said, "I did express my wish to be in the same class with Yotsuba, but I don't have the final say on how to arrange it."

Even though it's the last semester, Fuutarou is not so stubborn as to not even use this little privilege of being the student council president.

What's more, Shuchiin has never advocated a culture of abiding by the rules. It is more of a system of rewarding the most capable people, and capable people have more legal privileges.

This time, not only Nino, Yotsuba and Fuutarou are in the same class, but Miku is also in this class, but she has been absent from school.

As for Ichika and Satsuki, they went to other classes. After all, the quintuplets were in the same class, and one-sixth of the class had the surname Nakano, which could easily lead to dissatisfaction. Now, at most, those who cared would say a few words.

Nino said, "Fuutarou, have you asked who will be our homeroom teacher this year?"

Fuutarou hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be Mr. Inoue."

Nino immediately showed her dissatisfaction: "Ha, why is it that bald guy again? Last year I had enough of that guy's meddling."

Yotsuba couldn't help but smile bitterly. Nino's personality was a bit casual, and she was used to it. The bald man she mentioned, that is, Mr. Inoue, was a more rigid and stubborn person. He was a good teacher, but he just didn't get along with Nino's personality.

Just when Siye was about to comfort her sister, someone greeted her: "Siye, I didn't expect to be in the same class with you this year. Oh, our president is here too. That's great, Siye, you can go in and out with your boyfriend."

Yotsuba smiled and replied, "That's not the case. By the way, the track and field teacher told me that there will be a training camp after school today, so I'll let you know."

Suddenly, the two girls in front of them couldn't help but wail. They, like Yotsuba, were members of the women's track and field club. Since there were not many people in the club, everyone knew each other well.

After the two girls left, Nino gently poked Yotsuba's shoulder and said, "Do you think that girl looks familiar?"

Yotsuba followed Nino's gaze and said, "Ah, it's the girl Ichika was walking with last time. What was her name?"

Nino had a better memory and said, "I think her name was Chizuru, but I forgot her last name. Do you want to go over and say hello?"

Yotsuba was a person who liked making friends, and was about to agree, but then the class bell rang, which made her feel a little regretful.

Although Shuchiin is an aristocratic school, there are still very few students who openly resist their teachers.

Xiuzhiyuan does not need a noble student like you to prove its worth. It is these students who need to use Xiuzhiyuan's graduation certificate to prove themselves.

It’s very similar to the relationship between the game of the year and various substandard game charts.

Soon, their class teacher walked in slowly. Nino had a surprised expression on her face and looked at Fuutarou, as if to say, where is Baldy Inoue? But Fuutarou was also a little confused at this time.

A woman in a business suit walked in gracefully. Then she wrote her name on the blackboard. Few of the noble students present did not recognize her, and they all showed astonishment.

The woman smiled as confidently as a man-eating crocodile and said, "Hello everyone, I think many of you know me, but it doesn't matter if you don't. Let me introduce myself. I am Kaguya Shinomiya, your homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher for the next year."

The students looked at each other in bewilderment. The head of the Shinomiya family would come to be their teacher?

Although they knew that she was vying for a position on the board of directors of the Shuchi Institute, this kind of "lowering her status" behavior still caught them by surprise.

This is too much of a fight for votes.

Then, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at these students with a slightly cold look and said softly: "You come in too."

After that, a man pushed the door open and walked in. This time, most of the students were confused, but Nino Yotsuba Fuutarou and Chizuru who was not far away were a little surprised.

"This is my assistant, Hikigaya Hachiman. If you have any questions and can't contact me, you can contact Hikigaya-kun."

Hachiman looked at the familiar faces in the audience and said in a lazy voice: "You can just call me Assistant Hikigaya. You can come to me if you have any problems in study or life."

As for why it is an assistant and not a teacher, it is of course because teacher-student romance is prohibited!

Chapter 21: Playing with Heartbeats

Back in the academic office, Kaguya Shinomiya, who was serving as a teacher for the first time, felt quite fresh, but her throat was indeed a little dry from talking so much.

She sat down and noticed the gazes of other teachers. She walked around the academic office with interest, and many curious teachers naturally lowered their heads.

This is good, even though she has lowered her status to become a teacher. But this is just a stopgap measure. Since the students want to play the election game, then she will play along. When she becomes the chairman, the first step is to deprive the student union of its excessive power.

She looked down at the other teachers, which was intentional. If these teachers felt that they were equal to her just because they sat in the same teaching office, it would bother Kaguya.

Compared to the blue brain inside her body that was blinded by love and thought that everyone was equal, Kaguya sitting here naturally thought that she was superior to others. This was the pride given by her surname and the confidence given by her abilities.

Teacher Xiuzhiyuan might be proud of his status when standing outside, but he is still far behind her.

She was too lazy to do this kind of social activities, but now she had a big trouble that she had to deal with.

Kaguya picked up the kettle on the table that the maid Hayasaka Ai had prepared for her, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then asked, "Are you dissatisfied, Mr. Assistant?"

If it was someone else, Kaguya might not bother to explain, but the person in front of her was her "husband" after all.

Hachiman said with a somewhat teasing expression: "I am the boss behind a large media group after all. Do you think it is appropriate for me to be a small teacher's assistant?"

Kaguya couldn't help but smile, but she was very sarcastic: "Oh? But I haven't heard that you have participated in any public activities. You still leave everything to your aunt Yukinoshita Haruno, and you have nothing better to do than flirt with your younger sister."

Hachiman denied it seriously, "I didn't pick up girls casually."

Kaguya raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I didn't flirt with any girls randomly, but I didn't see you during the New Year period either."

Suddenly, Hachiman's face showed a funny expression. Kaguya knew that she had said something wrong. It was as if she was an ignorant woman who was jealous of a man.

In fact, since she had to take care of the affairs of the Shinomiya family, it was impossible for Kaguya to really be a teacher. It was said that this was just a gimmick. At most, she would come to teach classes. She might not even have the time to correct homework. These naturally needed to be handled by an assistant. Originally, the most suitable person for this assistant position was Hayasaka Ai. Hayasaka Ai had a team under her that specialized in handling clerical work, so she was more than qualified to be a teacher's assistant.

However, perhaps influenced by the consciousness in her body, she actually felt a little unhappy when she saw the man who had not appeared throughout the New Year. This overly sentimental emotion should not have appeared in her, and it made her very helpless. However, thinking that this guy had nothing to do while she had to make many plans made her feel very unbalanced, and finally she pulled him over to be her assistant.

Hachiman said seriously: "Although in your opinion, I seem to be not doing my job properly."

Kaguya taunted, "So you have this awareness?"

Hachiman tutted his words and continued, "Don't interrupt me, but in fact, I have been canvassing for you in my own way, and now I have a feasible idea."

Kaguya shook her head and said, "I don't believe it."

Hachiman said, "How about we make a bet and see how many votes I can get for you by myself."

Kaguya's slightly indifferent look finally changed slightly, and she said softly: "Two hundred votes?"

It is true that Shuchiin is an aristocratic school, but there are students with excellent academic performance from all over the country who want to get in, so the number of students in the school is not small.

There are about 30 people in a class, and there are 10 to 12 classes in a grade. The number of students is maintained at about 1,100. Adding the number of faculty and staff, there are about 1,300 people with voting rights in the school. Of course, the votes of teachers have a higher weight. But this is a later story. Therefore, even if Hachiman can win 200 votes from the students, it is still a very objective number.

Hachiman shook his head and said, "Five hundred votes."

Give Miss Kaguya a little son-in-law shock.

Kaguya's pupils shrank and she tilted her head slightly: "Are you sure you're not kidding me? What you mean is that everyone in my team doesn't need to work anymore and can just wait for you to get back 500 votes and win without doing anything?"

Hachiman laughed and said, "Not really."

Although the total votes are 1,300 and 500 votes seem to be a sure win, considering the weight of the votes, it cannot be said to be a sure win. After all, this is a zero-sum game.

But of course Kaguya was joking just now, her team would also run publicity. If Hachiman could really get 500 votes by himself, she would definitely win.

But is it really possible?

Hachiman said, "Do you know what's wrong with the way you and Shijo Tei are doing?"

Kaguya went down to the classroom to be a teacher, and Shijo Tei was not completely idle. He also helped the students to gain benefits and win their favor.

Kaguya frowned slightly and said, "What's the problem?"

Hachiman smiled and said, "It's not deep enough into the grassroots of students, and it's not down to earth enough."

Kaguya felt a little unhappy: "I'm already a teacher, isn't that enough?"

Hachiman smiled but didn't respond, causing Kaguya to frown and say, "Playing mysterious."

Men don't care what you say.

Kaguya continued, "Are you sure you can really get 500 votes?"

"Didn't I tell you? I'm making a bet with you. If I don't get the corresponding number of votes, I lose, and you can punish me however you want."

"It's okay for me to let you be a dog?" Kaguya's smile was a little sadistic. If Hachiman really lost, she would really let him be a dog.

"Can I lick you?" Hachiman asked.

"roll."

Hachiman smiled, and then came the point: "But what if I win? If I lose, there will be a punishment, but if I win, I can naturally ask for a reward."

If Hachiman can really get 500 votes, then Kaguya's position as a director will be secure.

"What do you want?" Kaguya asked in a low voice.

Hachiman looked at Kaguya's tight calves wrapped in black stockings under her formal professional suit. Kaguya naturally felt the man's gaze and her expression began to become annoyed.

Hachiman whispered in her ear, "If I win, I want you to do it with me in this black business suit, and you have to call yourself a teacher."

Kaguya tightly grasped the kettle in her hand, her face full of shame and anger, and she seemed to be hesitating whether to splash out the hot water in her hands.
