Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Nino snorted, and the next moment Hachiman's hand was hugged by someone. The girl with sharp eyes said, "Come on, uncle, let's go eat."

"Hey, wait a minute." Hachiman was pulled out of the classroom.

*

On the rooftop of the Shuchiin teaching building is a small sky garden. It is worthy of being an aristocratic school. This design distinguishes it from ordinary schools.

Sitting on a bench in the shade of a tree on the rooftop, holding a bento from the Shuchiin cafeteria, the simple combination of seaweed rice balls and pork miso soup was very much to Hachiman's taste.

"Tell me, Yotsuba is very annoying!" She was eating her bento like a madman without any ladylike manners, as if she wanted to turn all the anger and grief she received from her sister into food intake, while continuing to complain to Hachiman.

"Can I have one of the rice balls?"

"Please feel free to do so." Hachiman said.

Nino picked up a small seaweed rice ball with chopsticks and took a bite, showing a happy expression: "Well, the food in our cafeteria tastes really good."

Hey, you are actually May in disguise, right?

Nino put down the lunch box with a satisfied look, then opened the yogurt beside her and took a sip, saying, "Uncle, please say something. I just said so much, but you didn't even agree with me!"

Which side are you on? Nino said with a pout.

"Well, although I also want to say something you like, I have to say that Yotsuba-san and Uesugi-kun did a pretty good job. They cleverly used the loopholes in the rules to achieve their goals without being caught. I think the relics left by your mother will belong to Yotsuba-san without any surprises."

Nino said with a bitter face, "Even you think so, uncle?"

Hachiman nodded gently and said, "I remember you worked in the student union for a while? Then you should also know that the student union of Shuchiin is decisively different from that of ordinary schools. Whether it is the amount of funds that can be accessed or the number of resources from various channels, being able to skillfully use these resources is also a talent of Uesugi-kun. I can bet with you that during the next period of time until the Sacred Heart Festival, you will see posters of your sister everywhere in the school. The massive and violent bombardment will make all students have a deep impression of Yotsuba. I tell you. Most students are not that opinionated. Most of the time, they will only vote for people they are impressed by. This trick of Uesugi-kun and Yotsuba. For you students, it is unsolvable. It is a dimensionality reduction attack, which is far from comparable to holding a maid cafe or a test of courage."

Hearing how Hachiman praised her "enemy" so highly, Nino looked unhappy. But she also knew that what the uncle said was true, so she put down the yogurt and pulled Hachiman's sleeve.

"Even you, uncle, can't do anything about it?"

Hachiman finished drinking the pork miso soup, glanced at the girl, and said, "Not really, there is absolutely no way, didn't I just say that? For you students, there is no solution. But I am already a working person with my own school, hahaha."

Nino's eyes lit up, and then she said, "Uncle, help me!"

She shook Hachiman's hand vigorously, and her tone became coquettish. Girls are born knowing how to act coquettishly and don't need to learn it.

As a result, Hachiman ruthlessly refused: "No, it's too troublesome."

Nino couldn't help but glare and said, "Uncle, you can't be like this. You were so attentive when you helped Miku. Is Miku more lovely than me? Why do you treat me differently?"

But weren't you the one who asked me to help Miku? Hachiman looked at the girl speechlessly.

"Please, uncle, this is the only wish I have in my life." Nino kept shaking Hachiman's body, and Hachiman's body kept shaking like a willow branch in the wind.

"I'm not trying to be perfunctory with you. There's no shortcut to dealing with Uesugi-kun's move. You can only use your strength to make a miracle happen. But that's too much trouble. It's just a school festival." Hachiman said.

"You also know that what I care about is not the school festival, but the relics left by my mother. Please, uncle, this is my lifelong request! I will agree to any conditions you give me." Nino said seriously.

Suddenly, Hachiman's expression became a little playful. He kept looking at Nino's body and said, "Can you do whatever I ask you to do?"

Nino seemed to know what this meant, her cheeks turned red. Damn it, are all men really like this?

But Nino's mind suddenly popped up the words Yotsuba said.

Who told you that you don’t have such a good boyfriend?

"Well, what do you want?" Nino said hesitantly. If the uncle really proposed it, would she agree?

Then, Nino saw that Hachiman's expression became even more evil. She clenched her fists for her mother's relics. "I want you to get into the University of Tokyo," Hachiman suddenly said seriously.

The air was stagnant for a moment.

"I can't do it!" Nino couldn't help but shout.

It would be worse than ruining her!

Chapter 103: Let You Know What is Despicable

"Hahaha, I think so too. It is really difficult for you sisters to get into the University of Tokyo with your brains." Hikigaya, a graduate of the University of Tokyo, Hachiman said with some pride.

The poor student Nino was being looked down upon openly, and couldn't help but puff up his cheeks: "Uncle, you underestimate me too much."

"Do you want to say that you are the kind of kid who can do anything if you want to?" Hachiman teased.

Nino thought about it and felt a little discouraged: "Although I really want to say this, I really can't do it except to get into Tokyo University."

Although the movie "Gal" is very famous, the story of a dumb hot girl who got into Keio University through her own efforts has inspired countless students. Isn't it because this example is so bizarre that it is worth making into a movie?

Nino thought sadly that she might not be that rare flower.

"Ah, that's nothing we can do. I gave you the chance but you didn't make any use of it." Hachiman's tone sounded quite asking for a beating.

The girl clenched her fists. She knew clearly that it was impossible for her to defeat Yotsuba and Fuutarou with her own abilities. If she wanted to win this zero-sum game, the biggest bargaining chip for the remaining four sisters was to get the man in front of her.

"Uncle, as long as you help me win my mother's relics, I can agree to any of your conditions!" Nino said with a tense face.

Hachiman looked at the girl in surprise and said, "Hey, is this really okay? Although applying to the University of Tokyo is a bit of a joke. But you are almost an adult, and you should know that adults' minds are often dirtier than public toilets. If you put forward such a condition, I will really eat you."

Nino pursed her lips. If she was talking to any other man, she would not have made such a condition.

"I won't regret it." Nino's face was tense, as stubborn as bonito.

Hachiman sighed deeply and said, "I am really impressed by you. I didn't expect that this bracelet would be so attractive to you. It's understandable. I was just joking just now. I don't need you to agree to any conditions of mine. Indeed, since I helped Miku once, it would be fair for me to help you once."

Nino couldn't help but open her eyes wide, with a look of joy on her face: "Really, uncle, is it true?"

"Really, really, so stop shaking me, my old bones are about to fall apart. Well, it's indeed my fault that I didn't agree to you just now. It's mainly because I just think it's too much trouble, and I'm staying in Shuchiin mainly to retire." Hachiman said with a smile.

Nino's beautiful black eyes looked at the man with a big puzzled expression on her face: "Will it really be troublesome?"

Hachiman said, "It's troublesome. If we want to defeat Yotsuba-san and Uesugi-san, we have to use a more thorough and violent propaganda bombardment to cover up the impact of the student council. And we only have two weeks. Just thinking about the workload makes my scalp numb."

Then, while Nino was confused, Hachiman began to explain to Nino exactly what he should do to push her to the throne of "MISS Shuchiin".

Nino's expression kept changing until Hachiman's saliva was a little dry from talking. He took a sip of mineral water and saw that Nino's expression became hesitant.

"So it's going to be so troublesome, uncle. Forget it. It's really too much trouble for you."

Just as Hachiman said just now, Uesugi Fuutarou's move can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack on the students, a water drop weapon, while Hachiman's approach is a higher-dimensional two-dimensional foil attack, which also means that the cost involved is far beyond what a school festival program should have.

"Are you backing down now? Didn't you say you were willing to do anything for mother's relics?" Hachiman raised his eyebrows, and the two men switched positions.

Indeed, even for Hachiman, this action was somewhat like playing tricks on the princes with fire.

However, money cannot buy my willingness, and he has long passed the stage where he will only take action when he needs benefits.

"But!" Nino became a little excited.

"Since you have made up your mind to do it, you must be determined to do whatever it takes to achieve your goal. Even if you feel that you owe someone, you must stride towards your goal with guilt in your heart. I don't remember educating such an indecisive child." Hachiman said seriously.

Nino didn't complain about not being taught by you. She looked at the man in front of her with excitement. It was as if salt, oil, sauce, vinegar and tea were stuffed into her mouth at the same time, and she suddenly felt a mixture of all kinds of flavors.

Her heart felt sour and her nose was a little sour. As expected, she was still - "Uncle, why are you so nice to me? Don't use Miku as an excuse. You know this is different. Miku has a problem with her life direction, and I'm just..."

"That's probably because you came to me first, Nino. I'm glad you remembered me when you needed help."

You remember Uncle Ba, and Uncle Ba is very happy.

"Is that all?" Nino was a little surprised.

"Yeah, is that not possible?" Hachiman smiled and touched Nino's dog head.

Nino held her head with both hands and pouted, looking a little unhappy. But soon, her eyes became bright.

"Uncle, I changed my mind." She said with a clenched fist.

"Oh? What do you say?"

"My promise is valid. I can agree to any condition you give me. Don't refuse. It's your business if you don't need it and it's my business if I owe you money. However, I have to add a prerequisite."

Who told you that you don’t have such a good boyfriend?

Siye, that may not be the case.

Then, Nino told Hachiman her idea.

The man couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Hey, hey, what you did is a bit despicable."

Nino said with a straight face: "Who just told me that even if I feel guilty, I must stride towards my goal."

Hachiman couldn't help but laugh: "You learn really fast."

"It doesn't matter who you teach. I'm not as awkward as Sanjiu."

The third sister, who was having dinner with Yukino, sneezed.

"So, uncle, do you agree to this condition?" The girl clenched her fists and looked a little nervous. She knew that this prerequisite was somewhat embarrassing for the other party.

Hachiman sighed and said, "I see. After all, you were the first person to come to me."

"Great!" Nino raised her hands to celebrate, and Hachiman couldn't help but laugh.

"I've disliked that Uesugi Fuutarou for a long time. He's just a student, but he acts like a fool and doesn't have the liveliness of a DK at all. Humph, this time I'll let him see what it means to be a mean-spirited adult." Hachiman snorted twice.

At this time, Fuutarou, who was having dinner with Yotsuba, sneezed.

Nino also clenched his fists: "That's right, let's show those two dogs what meanness is."

Yotsuba, who was having dinner with Fuutarou, couldn't help but sneeze.

Maybe the flu is coming.

Chapter 104 It was obviously me first...

During the lunch break, Nakano Ichika did not return to class after lunch, but sat in the drama club's office with Mizuhara Chizuru. Although the drama club's office was large, it was filled with large and small cardboard boxes, which were filled with props from the stage plays that the drama club had arranged in the past, and were also considered the accumulated assets of the drama club.

Qianzuru took a sip of unsweetened green tea, and looking at her friend with a bitter face, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Who on earth said before that he had no motivation and just gave up, but now he doesn't even let go of the lunch break and drag me over to plot."

Ichika dropped the pencil she was holding between her lips onto the table and said, "You were there that night, too. How can the situation be the same now? I must win the Miss Shuchiin title this time. And you also heard Fuutarou's announcement this morning."

Chizuru nodded gently, "Indeed, Yotsuba-san, with President Uesugi's support, has won too much from the beginning."

Ichika also had a frustrated expression on her face, and felt similarly to Nino: "Yotsuba is too mean, I was planning to compete fairly."

Having said that, after all, she already holds the card of the drama department, so she is not in a hurry, but now she feels that the cards in her hand are not enough.

With the publicity efforts of the student union, if it were just an ordinary stage play, it would most likely not be able to compete.

"So, what was the theme of the stage play you originally prepared?" Chizuru asked.

"Romeo and Juliet, there will be no mistake in playing this because I've played it before and this is what I thought." Ichika said in a low voice.

Indeed, as a classic work of Shakespeare, it has been adapted for the stage and screen countless times, and there are many versions to refer to. Most importantly, Ichika has performed in this stage play before and has experience.

"But now it's no use. If we only play Romeo and Juliet, we won't be able to beat Yotsuba-san."

"I know it's not topical enough, not innovative enough, and not eye-catching enough," Ichika said with a distressed expression.

"I have an idea." said Mizuhara Chizuru.

"Oh, tell me about it." Ichika immediately raised her body. People who lack inspiration want a straw the most.

"It's about innovation. Even a classic stage play has to keep up with the times, right? So how about we write a love story between a black Romeo and a male Juliet. Absolutely innovative, absolutely epoch-making, absolutely eye-catching, and absolutely correct!" The more Chizuru spoke, the more she felt that her idea was reliable.

It is so true that no one dares to say that this stage play is bad.

The next moment, he was hit on the head by Ichika's ruler.

"it hurts."

"Adaptation is not random writing. You can attract attention by doing this, but the voting rights are in the hands of every student. I don't want to be at the bottom among the five sisters in the end. After all, I am the eldest sister. That would be too embarrassing." Ichika said helplessly.

"So what are you thinking now?" Chizuru asked.

"Well, as expected, I am more inclined to adapt classic literary works. This is relatively safe and well-known enough. It can also take care of the parents of students who come to watch the play. Considering the length of the stage play, it will probably be found in short stories or fairy tales. However, in this case, the topicality may not be enough, and I can only rely on my own acting skills to make up for it. The reason I am stuck now is that I can't find a stage play that suits me. After all, there are only two weeks, and the only way to give a stunning performance is to use the experiential method." Ichika said seriously.

"So the question now is, Ichika, can't you find a stage play subject that suits your mood?" asked Mizuhara Chizuru.

Ichika nodded gently, and Chizuru seemed to have thought of something and said, "Why don't you go ask Mr. Hikigaya for help? I think he will definitely have an idea."

Ichika said with a half-smile: "Oh, you were avoiding Mr. Hikigaya so much, and you didn't ask him to take you home that night, but now..."

Chizuru planned her words and said, "That's my own problem. I have never denied Mr. Hikigaya's ability."

Ichika's expression became conflicted, and she said, "But it feels bad to rely on others without any effort on my part."

Qianzuru disagreed and said, "If it is normal, it is true, but your sister relies on the student council president first, and the resources she can mobilize are not comparable to those of ordinary students. It is a bit presumptuous to think that you can rely on your own efforts at this time."

Ichika sighed and felt that what the girl said made sense.
