Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just, what a coincidence, I invited Chizuru to my house today." Ichika said.

Hachiman chuckled and nodded, "Sorry, there's something wrong with my eyes, so I can't see for the time being."

Only then did Qianzuru notice his bamboo stick and felt a little worried about him, but she found that her emotions were wrong.

"Good evening," she whispered, regretting a little bit for accepting Ichika's invitation.

Hachiman just smiled.

Ichika tilted her head slightly. Hachiman didn't seem like the type of person who would come over for a free meal, so she asked Nino, "Was this your idea?"

Nino put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course, you know about Miku's situation. After all, Uncle has helped Miku and me so much, so of course we have to create opportunities for them to reconcile. Otherwise, everyone will be like you. Uncle has been nice to you, but you don't care."

Yihua immediately became unhappy: "Why are you blaming me?"

At this time, someone returned to the door of the Nakano family, and Hachiman said softly: "It's really lively tonight."

Yotsuba and Fuutarou are back sweetly.

Chapter 82 Sharing

The Nakano family is always so lively at night, but compared to the usual five sisters, there are now three more people, Hachiman, Fuutarou and Chizuru, and not all of them are familiar with each other.

For example, Fuutarou and Chizuru, although both were students of Shuchiin, did not know each other, and Chizuru only knew the names of the other Nakano sisters. Therefore, this unintentional gathering was quickly divided into several parts.

Before Mr. Maruo Nakano came back, Nino and Hachiman, the only two people who had cooking skills, were busy in the kitchen, Ichika and Chizuru were drinking tea and chatting on the balcony, and the remaining three, four, and five were sitting on the sofa with Fuutarou watching TV, chatting about the upcoming Sacred Heart Festival. It happened that they were all in the same class. So they were discussing what programs the class should produce. After all, as the student council president, Fuutarou might not have so much time to take care of the execution, so he needed Yotsuba to assist.

On the balcony, Chizuru, who felt uncomfortable after taking a sip of tea, said, "I'd better go help in the kitchen."

The girl, who was used to being hardworking, felt uneasy when she saw others busy in the kitchen while she was sitting here drinking tea.

After all, her cooking skills are pretty good.

But Ichika quickly pulled her back and said, "Forget it, you are my guest. If you go to the kitchen to help, how can I still sit here? Let's leave it to Nino. Rather, the kitchen is a forbidden area without her permission. Going to help without permission will make her angry. Besides, Mr. Hikigaya is still in the kitchen. Aren't you avoiding her the whole time?"

Indeed, Chizuru asked softly, "Then isn't Mr. Hikigaya also a guest? Why is he busy in the kitchen as a matter of course?"

"He's a little different. He's a great cook and is very close to Nino. He's been a guest at the Nakano household before."

Chizuru looked at Hachiman who was still helping in the kitchen despite being blind, and was chatting and laughing with Ichika's sister, and couldn't help but say: "Hikigaya-kun, as expected, you will have good girls wherever you go."

That's why I misunderstood before and thought that my relationship with Mr. Hikigaya was special and unique.

But that's not the case. It's just that Mr. Hikigaya is nice to many girls, and I'm just one of them.

When Chizuru realized this, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart.

She took a sip of her tea, hiding her emotions well.

"Hey, Chizuru, are you jealous?" Ichika said jokingly.

But Qianzuru said calmly: "If you like someone, isn't it normal to be jealous? You want the person you like to only look at you, and want his love to belong only to you. This is also a very normal thought, right?"

Ichika folded her hands together with a weird and funny expression, as if she was in deep thought, but it looked like she was just being exaggerated.

Chizuru was amused and laughed, "What's with that expression? Did I say something wrong?"

Ichika shook her head and said, "I'm not wrong, but after hearing what you said, I realized that the education in my family is indeed different from that of ordinary people."

Chizuru showed a puzzled expression, as if asking, what do you mean?

Ichika smiled and said, "Do you know what the first thing I learned from the moment I became aware of myself was?"

Qianzuru thought about it, but couldn't guess, so she shook her head.

Ichika said calmly, "It's sharing."

Suddenly Chizuru realized that Ichika was a rare pair of quintuplets.

"Although my family lives a good life now, when I was a kid with my mother, we really didn't have much money, and we lived in a not-so-good rental house. I don't know if the other sisters still remember it, but I still remember that the power would go out from time to time in that rental house. Children are probably afraid of the dark, and we would often cry at night without lights. Especially Miku was the most afraid of the dark, and she cried the most. Sometimes my mother didn't have time to get off work, and I could only suppress my fear and comfort my sisters. After all, I am the eldest sister."

Ichika casually shared some "interesting things" from her childhood, which might not have seemed interesting back then, but are now worth reminiscing about.

Chizuru was the opposite of Ichika. Although she was a little poor, she lived a happy life before junior high school. She just had never experienced what it was like to have brothers and sisters, so she listened with great interest.

"Living in a rental house like that, it's natural that our daily life wouldn't be very affluent. Sometimes mom would buy some small cakes for us, but we five sisters would each take a bite and they would all be gone. But despite this, we still laughed happily because we five sisters were used to sharing the things we like. After all, mom taught us that since we were young."

Chizuru hesitated for a moment, and seemed to hear the hidden meaning behind Isseki's words.

"So what about the fact that you both liked President Uesugi at the same time?"

Ichika nodded gently and said with a smile: "Although there are often such plots in animated movies. But don't you think it's strange that five sisters pursue a boy together? Normally speaking, if the sisters know that the other party likes the same boy, they will quietly withdraw instead of doing what we did."

Qianhe nodded gently, and she put herself into the situation. If she had a younger sister, and she and her younger sister liked the same boy at the same time, she would most likely choose to withdraw.

Ichika said, "We are identical quintuplets. We grew up together and have similar tastes. So it's not surprising that we like the same boy. We were also taught to share good things. So it's not surprising that five sisters chase after the same boy at the same time. You see, this is the difference between people, or the difference in educational philosophies."

Qianzuru nodded slightly, as if a question came to her mind, but she didn't know whether to say it out loud.

But Ichika seemed to be able to read Chizuru's expression, or rather, she was thinking about the same thing herself.

"Are you trying to say that since we are all used to sharing, if Fuutarou-kun is a playboy like Hikigaya-san, will the five of us sisters follow him together?"

Qianhe quickly clarified: "You said that, I didn't ask anything."

This caused Ichika to laugh out loud, and it looked like she really didn't mind. She took a sip of her tea and said, "Actually, I've thought about this question since Fuutarou chose Yotsuba. Why don't we all be Fuutarou's girlfriends? That way, we can all be together in the future. But as you said, what we're sharing now is not food, but one person's love. This is different. Of course I know this, so my answer is, I don't know either."

Qianzuru leaned her delicate head forward slightly and said, "You mean I don't know?"

Ichika said she didn't know, not a negative answer. In other words, Ichika did not deny the possibility of sharing her love with her sisters.

"Of course, after all, this thing hasn't happened yet, right? Who knows the result? After all, Fuutarou is a bit old-fashioned and has never thought of the possibility of "I want it all". So, I just don't deny this possibility. "

Chapter 83: Empathy

Ichika looked very relaxed at this moment, as if she was just describing an interesting past event to her classmates.

Seeing Ichika like this, Chizuru felt relieved. She was originally worried that Ichika still had feelings for her and this would easily create a rift between her and her sisters.

But then, Ichika looked a little lonely, and Chizuru couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

Ichika looked at the ripples in the teacup and whispered, "It just suddenly occurred to me that there won't be many more lively days like this."

After Ichika finished speaking, she looked towards the living room and kitchen. Her sisters were all there, as well as her close friends and her father who was about to return.

"I originally thought that the five of us sisters would have to wait until college to separate. But now it seems that Yotsuba might be the first one to leave us sisters. The first was Yotsuba, and then who would be the second, Nino or Miku? I have never thought about this problem seriously. Subconsciously, I believed that we sisters would definitely stay together forever. But now that I think about it, I just don't want to face it." There was a hint of loneliness in Ichika's tone.

"But, isn't it natural that everyone grows up and goes their separate ways, even though it will definitely make you lonely?" Chizuru thought of her father and felt a little sad, but she didn't want to show it.

Ichika smiled and said, "That's true, but maybe we are a little different."

Chizuru understood what Ichika meant. In a normal family, brothers and sisters would quickly adapt to separation. But the Nakano sisters were different. They were a whole. Just like a human body, even if they could adapt to losing arms and legs, it would still leave deep scars.

The heavy topic ended here, and the two returned to the light-hearted life that high school JKs should have.

What Ichika didn't know was that behind the curtain, Yotsuba was holding a plate of snacks, seemingly intending to give them to Ichika and Chizuru. But no one knew how long she had been "eavesdropping" here.

The words Ichika just said just now appeared in Yotsuba's mind.

I'm afraid Yotsuba will be the first one to leave us sisters.

Originally, she was planning to use the opportunity of delivering snacks to announce to Ichika that she would be going abroad with Fuutarou. She didn't plan to announce it in public, but to inform the five sisters one by one. That way, she could clearly see everyone's reaction and "ask" for everyone's forgiveness.

After all, she had always said that the five sisters should always be together.

But for her own happiness, she was the first to leave here.

It felt like I had broken my promise, so naturally I felt a little guilty.

But from what Ichika said, it seemed that her elder sister had already seen through her and had confirmed that she would be the first to leave.

This made Siye feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

So in Ichika's eyes, am I such a hypocritical person?

And, she was right.

"Yoshiha, what's wrong with you? Why did you bring the snacks back again?"

When she came to her senses, Yotsuba found herself back in front of the sofa, Fuutarou questioned herself.

"Ah, Ichika and Ichinose-san were having a great time chatting, so I didn't bother them."

Fuutarou wondered in his mind how much fun they were having chatting that Yotsuba couldn't bear to even send her a snack, but he still didn't ask.

Yotsuba seemed a little restless and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help with."

*

In the kitchen, since Hachiman is blind, he is mainly responsible for cooking, washing vegetables, cutting meat and seasoning for Nino. Originally, Nino thought that since he is blind, he just needs to help her try to season, but she didn't expect that he can still handle the ingredients smoothly. This is probably the legendary mind, the girl thought in a childish way.

"When Miku came out to greet us just now, she didn't even look at you. This is very inconsistent with Miku's character. I say, did you force Miku to do something weird?" Nino asked while slowly frying onion beef patties in a frying pan.

Miku was quite stubborn, so Nino wanted to be a peacemaker but didn't know where to start.

"Well"

Miku really got it right, but the direction was a little off.

I'm just forcing Miku to choose between sending my best friend to jail and letting her go unpunished. It doesn't seem like a big deal.

If it were him, he would definitely forget it in two days.

High school girls are just stingy, and it turns out that soft, mature and juicy wives are better.

"You hesitated! You hesitated as expected! You wouldn't really do that to Miku..." Nino showed an expression as if she was looking at a scumbag.

Hachiman cut the cabbage on the chopping board into shreds. If this were an animation, the number of drawings, which were originally insufficient in budget, would have increased dramatically.

"If I really did something weird to Miku, wouldn't you feel it?" Hachiman asked curiously.

Nino originally thought that this guy was talking about something strange. But she soon realized something and hit Hachiman on the head with a shovel: "What are you thinking about? Have you read too many weird comics?"

"Eh, nothing?" Hachiman was surprised and a little disappointed.

Nino naturally realized what Hachiman was referring to. In many movies, TV shows, and anime, twins and the like have some special empathy. In fact, many documentaries have recorded similar things. Then such settings will be used in strange places.

For example, when one of the twins is having sex, the other will also feel it.

"No way!" Nino answered affirmatively.

"It turns out there really isn't one." This made him look forward to it. What an exciting setting.

However, after the affirmative answer, Nino seemed to recall something and said, "If you put it that way, I do remember one time when May broke his arm. When I got home and saw it, I also felt vaguely that my right hand was not feeling well, but I never asked other people if it was the case."

Hachiman couldn't help but complain: "This is just pure phantom pain."

For example, when gay men see a video of a pet cat being sterilized while watching videos, they will unconsciously feel a chill in their bones.

"Hahaha, that may be the case." Nino didn't care too much. After all, from childhood to adulthood, people always thought that the five sisters would have some strange abilities.

"So, when Yotsuba was being intimate with Uesugi-kun, you didn't feel anything." Hachiman asked.

Nino rolled her eyes and said, "Who knows, Yotsuba and Fuutarou probably..."

Before she did anything, Nino seemed to realize something and said, "Uncle, are you jealous?"

But Hachiman said calmly, "I am worried about your future boyfriend. If you really feel the same way, it would be really annoying."

Nino thought about it and felt that it was indeed quite disgusting. She hadn't done anything wrong, but it felt like she was cheating on her boyfriend.

"So Yotsuba and Uesugi-kun haven't done it yet?" Hachiman said with some sigh, as if he knew something unexpected.

Nino didn't take Hachiman's joke seriously, but she suddenly realized that since Yotsuba and Fuutarou hadn't done it yet, it meant that none of the five sisters had tried it. What if, she said just what she meant, the uncle's bad words really came true?

Chapter 84: Reina's Relics

Although this topic is very interesting and can satisfy the otaku thoughts in Hachiman's mind, it is indeed disrespectful to Yotsuba to keep talking about it, so he quickly changed the subject.

Then Hachiman heard Nino say, "By the way, uncle, are you good at Chinese cuisine?"

Hachiman said modestly, "It's just a little research. After all, it tastes good, doesn't it?"

Nino nodded gently and said, "Uncle, when your eyes are healed, can you teach me?"

The man said cheerfully, "Sure, but why? When I asked you before, it seemed like you had no interest."

Nino flipped the beef patties that had been fried to 80% doneness and added a special soy sauce to season them.

"It's just that I suddenly realized that the opportunities for the five of us sisters to eat together at the same table like this are becoming fewer and fewer. So in the remaining years, I just wanted Yotsuba and the others to try more flavors." Nino's voice slowly lowered, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

Like Chizuru just now, Hachiman also thought that the relationship between the Nakano sisters was different from that of ordinary sisters, and he could understand why Nino felt so melancholy, so he said: "Well, there are still a few years left, let me train you to be a Michelin-level chef!"
