Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

One flower is gentle and cheerful, Two has a hot temper, Four leaves are energetic and lively, and Five is all about food.

In short, the four sisters each have their own characteristics, and are generally very extroverted. They have their own circles, and have made many friends, and even their friends do not overlap.

Only Miku herself has a gloomy personality and always revolves around the four sisters, so she doesn't have many friends.

Well, that's typical self-denial among people with depression.

After an unknown amount of time, Miku heard someone knocking on the door. She took off her headphones in panic and found that it was Nino's voice.

"Sanjiu, come out. I'll take you to school. I'm telling you, we're in the same class, so don't be afraid. I'll protect you."

Level 3 pursed his lips, feeling anxious, complicated and conflicted.

She doesn't want anyone to control her, but immersed in loneliness, she hopes someone will come to save her.

When someone cares about you, you will appear particularly scared.

In the end, Sanjiu still chose not to respond.

Nino is really a good person. She even came over during such a short lunch break and tried to take her to school.

However, she was still unwilling to leave the room. Everything outside was so strange and scary to her.

After an unknown amount of time, a sigh seemed to be heard from outside the door, and then there was no sound, and Nino seemed to have left as well.

Miku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She could return to the embrace of solitude, but deep in her heart, she felt a little lost.

At this moment, Miku suddenly heard a violent scream.

It's Nino's voice!

But why?

It was as if Nino had encountered some accident.

Did he fall down the stairs? For some reason, this thought popped up in Miku's mind, but she quickly shook her head, thinking it was unlikely.

"No! Don't come near me!" Nino's voice was trembling.

Mijiu couldn't sit still anymore and got off the bed, but she found that her legs were a little weak because she had been lying down for too long. But she quickly steadied herself, stood at the door and hesitated for a while, finally turned the doorknob and opened the door. The bright sunlight shone into her eyes, making her a little uncomfortable for a moment.

But soon, after her eyes adjusted to the environment, she saw from the corridor on the second floor that her sister Nakano Nino was being pinned down by a hooded man on the sofa on the first floor and struggling desperately.

Chapter 24: Murder

Is this a burglary?

This word popped up in Sanjiu's mind at the first moment. However, this is a high-end residential area with strict security, and she has never heard of theft before.

But this was just a momentary reaction in Miku's mind. Now that the suspicious man wearing a hood had already pressed Nino under him, what was the point in finding out how he got in?

Nino was still resisting desperately: "Help, save me, Dad, save me!"

But what he received was a brutal slap in the face, the sound of which was so heavy that even Miku on the second floor could hear it clearly.

"Shut up, bitch, or I'll kill you." The suspicious man's voice was hoarse like a middle-aged man.

Nino seemed to be stunned by the slap and just sobbed softly.

In the face of absolute violence, people are afraid.

Miku, who was standing upstairs, also felt this fear and felt a chill in her heart.

But they were her sisters, sisters who had lived together since their mother's womb.

"Miku, save me." Then, she heard Nino's cry for help while she sobbed softly.

Suddenly, the introverted and timid girl forgot the physical gap between herself and the adult gangster, and ran down the stairs quickly, even almost falling down the stairs because of her anxiety.

It would be really hard to laugh if I fainted from falling down the stairs before I could help my sister.

She ran down the stairs, her heart pounding, and reached the edge of the sofa in two steps. From a close distance, the masked gangster looked even more muscular.

Miku suddenly pulled the clothes on his shoulders and shouted in a soft voice: "Don't hurt Nino, leave her!"

She couldn't even speak clearly. She pulled at the other person's clothes, but found that he was like a mountain, motionless.

But the next moment, this terrifying man stopped violating Nino and turned to look at Miku.

It was as if Miku could complete his hideous smile from under the hood.

"It turns out there's a little one left. Wait until I finish eating this hot-tempered one, then it'll be your turn."

The man's hoarse voice sounded like dry bark rubbing against each other.

Sanjiu's heart seemed to be frozen. The next moment, the man just pushed her hard.

"Get out of the way."

Then Miku seemed to be hit by a huge force and fell out, falling to the ground with a thud. Fortunately, the wool blanket on the ground blocked it, otherwise she would have been at least scratched.

After pushing Miku away, the man continued to violate Nino, and with a tearing sound, he pulled open Nino's school uniform shirt.

"Do not"

Miku heard Nino's trembling voice. Nino, who usually had a explosive temper, looked even weaker than her in the face of absolute violence.

Mijiu's whole body was trembling with fear, and this feeling of powerlessness even made her feel very familiar.

Mijiu saw a silver fruit knife on the table. The blade of the fruit knife was so conspicuous that it immediately attracted her attention.

The next moment, Nino let out a scream.

When she came to her senses, the girl had already picked up the fruit knife. Her mind was blank and she didn't even hesitate. She held the handle of the knife straight, rushed over and stabbed the fruit knife into the man's waist.

The man also reacted and grabbed the handle of the knife, but the blade had already completely penetrated his body.

The terrifying man screamed like a hungry beast, and gradually, blood flowed onto Miku's hands.

"Bitch!"

The man stood up and kept backing away. More and more blood oozed out. Finally, after letting out a scream, he fell straight to the ground.

Miku looked at the fallen man blankly, then looked at her hands covered in red liquid.

What did I do?

Nino, who was lying on the sofa, said in a trembling voice: "Miku, you killed someone."

Immediately, Miku realized that she had really killed someone.

What on earth did she do? Just half an hour ago, she was still a slightly depressed stay-at-home girl.

But in just half an hour, her life changed dramatically.

Her legs went weak and she immediately fell to her knees. Compared to the judgment of legal responsibility, Sanjiu felt more guilty for taking the life of a living fellow human being.

Because she is a bit of a homebody, she has read a lot of books, many of which reflect on the meaning of life.

But no matter what the meaning of life is, these books all express one point: life is precious, and the act of taking another's life is itself a sin.

Tears couldn't help but well up in Miku's eyes, as if she had completely collapsed.

"Want a tissue?" a voice asked.

"No, no." Mijiu answered subconsciously, but right after she answered, she realized something was wrong. She looked up and found the hooded man sitting on the ground.

She was stunned for a moment, but before she could feel relieved or scared, Nino, who was sitting on the sofa, burst into laughter.

"Uncle, your acting is really good." Nino said excitedly.

Then Miku heard the masked man's voice.

"Your acting skills are not bad either, the screams sound like a pig being slaughtered."

But at this moment, the man's voice was no longer as dry as tree bark. Instead, it had a strange warmth that Miku was very familiar with.

The next moment, the man took off his hood, and it turned out to be the man in his memory.

Hikigaya Hachiman.

In her heart, the man was labeled as a devil.

No matter how dumb Sanjiu was, she knew she was being fooled, but she still asked anxiously: "But, the fruit knife?"

The fruit knife was indeed stuck in the man's waist. As a result, Hachiman picked up the fruit knife and stabbed it into his shoulder. Then Miku discovered that the blade, which looked very real, was slowly retracting into the handle, and it looked like it was stabbing into the body.

Mijiu was a little speechless. No wonder she felt something was wrong when she stabbed someone just now. But it was her first time stabbing someone, so she had no experience and was in a panic and didn't have careful judgment.

"What about the blood?" Her hands were still covered in blood.

Nino sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking carefree, and said, "My uncle and I went to the prop store to get fake plasma. It looks pretty real, right? I was afraid that the plasma was too fake if it was cold, so I heated it up."

Thank you so much!

After hearing this, Miku was shaking with anger. She was so worried about her sister that she even committed murder for her, but she just wanted to play tricks on her.

No matter how good your temper is, you can't stand such teasing.

"Why do you do this?"

Hachiman stood up at this time, walked to her side and said: "This just wants you to experience that the whole world you think is actually just very small. You think you have understood this world and feel bored. But it's just because you haven't experienced many things in person, whether they are good or bad."

Chapter 25: Service Department Shuchiin Branch

“You think you know enough about the world and have no interest in life. But it’s just that you haven’t experienced many things in person, whether good or bad.”

Hikigaya Hachiman's words reflected in the girl's originally calm heart, and then caused ripples.

Mijiu gently raised her head and looked at the big villain in front of her, but found that his expression was unexpectedly gentle, as if he was recalling something.

Then he raised his thumb and said, "Trust me, this is based on experience."

Before Miku could think clearly, there was a loud knock on the door and Nino shouted in annoyance, "Who is it?"

Nino tidied her clothes, went out to open the door, and came back with a strange expression on her face.

Hachiman couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Nino said with a bit of a smile: "Weren't we yelling just now?"

He was shouting happily, saying "No" and "Help" etc.

"Then the security guard heard it and thought something had happened, so he called the owner, who is my dad."

After saying this, Nino stuck out her tongue slightly.

Hachiman also slapped his forehead. It was indeed a high-end residential area. Even if the immediate response was not enough, they would not pretend that nothing happened.

Nino said speechlessly: "I told the security guard that we were just joking, but he said the call had already been made."

Sure enough, Miku's phone rang soon.

For some reason, Miku pressed the speaker button when she answered the phone.

Mr. Nakano Maruo's voice remained calm, but it was obvious that he was suppressing his emotions.

"Sanjiu, are you okay? Who is with you now?"

Mijiu felt a little touched. Although her adoptive father seemed to be selfless and impartial in many things, and was criticized by her sisters as being cold-hearted and like those domineering presidents in novels, when something really happened, he cared about them more than anyone else. It was her father who first noticed her abnormality and sent her to the hospital.

After learning that she was ill, I never forced her to do anything. If she wanted to skip school, she didn't have to go to school. If she wanted to stay at home, she stayed at home.

Mijiu also knew that there were thousands of people suffering from depression, but how many of them had the capital to be so willful like her?

"I" Suddenly, Miku looked up at the two of them, and saw Nino clasping her hands together and begging her. And the arrogant man also looked away in embarrassment.

Mijiu realized that the initiative was in her hands at this moment. It was like playing with the neighborhood children, and one of them was bullied and cried, and the father of the bullied child came over.

However, after hearing Miku's hesitation, Nakano Maruo became anxious: "I will go back immediately."

"Wait a minute, Dad, I was just playing with Nino, nothing happened." Miku said softly.

Nino immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If her father really knew that she was so unreliable, she would definitely be scolded.

Having said that, even the fearless Nino is a little afraid of her father.

"Let Nino answer the phone." Nakano Maruo didn't completely believe his daughter's words, fearing that she said this because she was threatened.

Soon Nino answered the phone: "Hello, Dad, it's me."

Nakano Maruo said coldly: "What's going on? Shouldn't you be in school now?"

Nino quickly said, "Nothing serious, I was just joking with Miku. I want to take her back to school."
