Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

The girl stood in front of the stall, looking very conflicted. She bit her fingers and looked at the chicken legs sizzling on the charcoal fire, her saliva seemed to be watering. But she still didn't have the courage to go forward and take this delicacy.

Hachiman walked up to the girl, took the yakitori skewer from her, put it in one bite and ate until his mouth was full of oil.

Cool.

"Ah, my Yakitori." Nakano Satsuki seemed to have suffered a heavy blow.

"Why not just order more? It doesn't cost any money." Hachiman threw two skewers into the trash can next to him, and then took out a bunch of roasted green peppers. The green peppers produced in Japan taste a bit bitter, but they go perfectly with the greasy roast bird, and are very refreshing.

Seeing Hachiman enjoying the meal, Mayu swallowed a breath but still didn't move.

"I didn't hear Nino say you were losing weight." Hachiman asked curiously.

"No, I'm not trying to lose weight. Wow, I can't eat too much tonight. Why is such a top-notch barbecue buffet scheduled on the eve of the festival? Wouldn't it be better to hold it on the eve of the festival?" May said pitifully.

"Ah, is there any difference?" Then he ordered another skewer of roasted pork belly, which was really delicious.

"I beg you not to eat anymore, otherwise I can't bear it anymore." The girl said miserably.

Hachiman finally put aside his desire for food. He touched his stomach and found that he was not even half full.

"I say, are you really going to hold an eating contest tomorrow?" Hachiman asked with some confusion.

May's tears were about to fall, as if she had finally found someone to talk to. She said in self-abandonment, "What can I do? Look at the others. Nino was very impressive tonight. Yotsuba is also being looked after by Fuutarou. Ichika is rehearsing stage plays every day. I don't know what Miku is doing all day long. Everyone seems to have their own plans, and everyone seems to be determined to get their mother's relics, except for me. I just realized that I am a loser. It seems that I really can't do anything except the eating contest."

The girl eventually became the person she once hated the most.

Chapter 123 I, Nakano Satsuki, a Salted Fish

May's wish is actually the simplest, just to enjoy delicious food, and she doesn't even want to be called a food critic. It would be great if she could share her favorite things with others and let them like them too, but the most important thing is how she feels when she tastes the food.

May feels that if turning her hobby into a career means she can't purely enjoy the things she loves most, then it would not be worth it.

Similarly, she doesn't actually like any big eater competitions. She is a foodie, not a food show host. She doesn't want to be boasted about her appetite. The only thing that should be boasted about is the deliciousness of the food itself. She doesn't understand what those YouTube hosts who eat themselves to the point of being unrecognizable are thinking.

This is evil for her.

But now, it seems that she has to go down the evil path.

The main thing was that seeing other sisters working hard while she was still standing still felt terrible, and it made her, who was usually quite leisurely, start to get anxious.

Hearing her say this, Hachiman could understand her feelings to some extent.

He picked up the assorted skewers and handed them to May, saying, "Eat it. I don't think Mr. Nakano wants to see you torment yourself for your mother's relics. This is not his intention."

It was not known whether it was Hachiman's words that convinced Mayu, or whether she was already almost unable to hold back, but she took the skewer without much hesitation, bit off half of it in one bite, and ate until the corners of her mouth were greasy. She soon revealed a happy expression: "Mm, this teriyaki sauce is so good."

Pure smile, pure happiness, this girl Nakano Satsuki is so easy to satisfy. Generally speaking, she keeps herself in an optimistic state of mind.

Then Hachiman handed over another string, and Mayu blinked and took it.

“This skewer of grilled chicken hearts is also great.”

Another string.

"Ah, it turns out that cartilage has to be fresh to be crispy."

Hachiman extended his hand again, and Mayu didn't seem to know what he meant. But he soon realized it, patted his hand and said, "I'm not the puppy you feed."

However, Mayu was still in a good mood and picked up the skewers on the stall, continuing to show a happy smile. Hachiman sat aside and opened a can of happy water. Unfortunately, the school was full of underage students. Although there were teachers, in order to prevent accidents, only carbonated drinks and water were provided. Although iced beer and barbecue are a perfect match, happy water is not bad either.

After the first round of wolfing down, Hachiman slowly began to enjoy the food, and could spend half a day eating a string of grilled chicken skin.

However, May's happiness seemed to come to an abrupt end and she put down the stick.

"What's wrong?" Hachiman asked.

"But if that happens, I will have to completely give up competing in the Sacred Heart Festival."

As long as I admit that I am a waste, I will be invincible.

Having said that, Dad will probably be very disappointed.

"Well, some people can't get things done because of their attitude, and some people can't get things done because of their ability. I think your attitude is very good, May." Hachiman tried to comfort her.

May looked at the man with bulging eyes and said, "I don't think anyone would be happy to be comforted into a waste."

"Ahaha, so you heard it." Hachiman said with a smile.

"Do I look that stupid? Even though you cook delicious food, I will still be angry." May said with a pout.

"Okay, sorry, I said too much just now. Let's get back to the topic. You care so much about competition because you want the relics left by your mother, right?" Hachiman asked.

May took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her lips. Although she looked a little silly, she was still very careful about how a girl should behave.

"Actually, I'm not as obsessed with mom's relics as Ichika, Nino, Miku, and Yotsuba. Well, if dad told me to give it to me directly, then I would definitely want it. But even if the bracelet doesn't get to me, I think my sisters will cherish it. That would be enough for me, and I would be very happy. I want to participate in this election because I don't want to disappoint dad, and I don't want to be left too far behind by others. After all, we five sisters are equal." May said seriously.

Hachiman showed a slightly surprised expression: "You really are a little different from Nino and the others."

Nino has a strong desire to win. In fact, although Ichi, San, and Si express themselves in different ways, they are actually similar in their desire to win.

But there are a lot of salted fish in May.

May showed a cute smile and said, "Maybe it's because I'm the youngest, and I've received too much from my sisters since I was a child. If I think something is delicious, then I think my sisters will also think it's delicious, but Ichika will share it with me first most of the time. But I think it's just delicious food, and Ichika doesn't value it, so she is willing to share it with me. But for the really important things, I don't want to fight, I think it's good this way."

"You really have a broad mind." Hachiman couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, what you said just now, couldn't that be considered sexual harassment? I was about to scream 'molest'." May said with a straight face.

"Eat your barbecue. What are you thinking about, little girl?" Hachiman stuffed a bunch of green peppers into her hand.

"Well, I don't like green peppers, they're bitter." The girl said with a bitter face, but she still ate the green peppers she didn't like. It was not okay to waste food. Because May herself had experienced the feeling of not being full.

Hachiman looked at the easily satisfied girl and said with some annoyance: "After listening to you say so much, I really want to help you."

May looked up, her expression unchanged: "It's too late to say anything now. Tomorrow is the Sacred Heart Festival. I don't have the perseverance to sing and dance like Nino."

Hachiman shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. It's not like there's no trick. But I promised your sister that I can't help anyone else except her this time."

"Oh, is that so? Never mind. I'll go back to class and help out tomorrow."

Although it is a little inconspicuous, at least he is not lying completely flat, which is somewhat acceptable to his father.

Having said that, Hachiman still felt somewhat unwilling to be left far behind by his sisters.

At this moment, Nino's voice came from behind: "May, uncle, why are you two mixed together?"

Her expression seemed somewhat flushed, and it seemed that she was still excited. After asking for help from her enthusiastic classmates, she ran to find Hachiman again.

But Hachiman turned around and scolded: "Look at you, you only care about yourself and you don't care about your sisters in trouble."

Nino was baffled by the scolding, so she walked up to the two of them and said, "What's going on? What happened to May?"

Wu Yue didn't know what to say. She could talk to an outsider like Hachiman about what she had just said, but if she talked to her sister, it would be like she was deliberately playing a pity game.

She, Satsuki Nakano, also wants dignity, although it's not much.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hachiman took the initiative to tell her about the conversation he and Mayu had just had.

It was only then that Nino realized that she had not been home for the past two weeks and naturally ignored the changes in her sister.

"Then uncle, why don't you help May?" Nino said naturally.

"But didn't you say that you don't allow me to help anyone other than you?" Hachiman was a little surprised.

"It's okay, May, it's okay, just help her, please, uncle."

Originally, the person she was on guard against was not the silly little May.

"Then I'll tell you something. When I say I'll help you, I'll do my best. It's not like giving you a consolation prize. Don't let something go wrong and then accuse me of being biased or something." Hachiman said.

"It's only one night, what else can you do, uncle?"

Not to mention that it was only one night, even with so many students preparing for so long, looking at the current situation, they were overwhelmed by her concert.

Hachiman gave a mysterious smile: "You never know."

As a result, Nino didn't care at all and said, "It doesn't matter. I am very confident in myself now. If I can lose like this, it means that I am not as skilled as others and I deserve not to get my mother's relics."

Moreover, for Nino now, the final result is no longer the most important thing.

Hachiman patted Mayu's shoulder and said, "Did you hear that? Your sister helped the enemy herself, so don't blame me for giving her a hard time."

May looked at the two of them in confusion.

"Ha, just you, uncle? You think too highly of yourself." Nino said confidently.

"The little girl is getting wild. Let me show you what it means to be mean as an adult."

Chapter 124 Nakano Miku's Revenge

"Speaking of which, where did Ichika and Miku go? I know Yotsuba. She's still helping Fuutarou maintain order at the scene."

The matter concerning May was decided like this, and Nino didn't seem to care too much. It seemed that she really didn't intend to treat May as an opponent.

If you ask her, she will definitely say that this is the confidence that ByteDance gives me.

She was more curious about Ichika and Miku's movements.

Ichika is needless to say, and Miku has become mysterious recently and no one knows what she is doing.

"Ah, I know about Ichika. I asked her out the night before the festival. But she was still rehearsing a stage play with others and couldn't come." May ate the chicken cartilage with relish. It made a crunching sound. She had really good teeth. After completely giving up her worries, the girl became that optimistic person again.

Even at this time, Ichika is still working so hard. She had clearly told Nino before that joining the drama club was just for fun.

Nino couldn't help but look at Hachiman. Seeing the man smiling, she felt a little sad. If she worked harder, she would not lose.

"But I don't know about Miku. She didn't even reply when I called her." May said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"If that guy hasn't been like this lately, maybe he just fired a blank shot and has no intention of joining the war at all. After all, that guy looks like he has no desires or ambitions." Nino shrugged and said.

She still hasn't figured out the reason why Miku broke up with the uncle. If they really broke up, it wouldn't be a big deal, but after talking about the other sisters, Nino's mood became a little complicated. She immediately dragged Mayu and Hachiman's hands and said, "Let's go, let's go have a big meal. I just saw a stall making Kobe beef fillet, which looks delicious!"

But the girl quickly adjusted her mood, and then dragged the two of them to eat, without paying any attention to other people's eyes, nor caring about others taking photos of her and Hachiman appearing intimate.

"It would be nice if there were fireworks now." The girl couldn't help but say after she had her fill.

"Won't the fireworks display be held until the night after the festival?" Hachiman also said, putting down the disposable plate.

"But the highlight of the after-night festival is the bonfire party, so it would feel weird to light fireworks." Nino said with a smile.

"That's not difficult." Hachiman said and made a phone call. Not long after, brilliant fireworks rose up beside the embankment not far from the school, one after another.

The students gathered on the football field all raised their heads to the sky and sighed in varying degrees.

"So beautiful." The blue color kept changing on Nino's cheeks, and the girl's eyes became very bright.

Then she pouted and said, "Uncle, you looked really domineering when you casually arranged for people to set off fireworks. I'm sorry, it was obviously my own request, but I want to laugh when I think of those scenes."

Hachiman shrugged and said, "But I really am the president. I can't just say I'm not."

Although he is such a nice president!

Nino covered her mouth with both hands, exhaled softly, and said, "Everyone is watching these fireworks, but I think these fireworks are for me alone, right, uncle?"

Hachiman said, "Well, because you asked me to do so."

Nino turned her head and looked at the man, because she was the first one to ask him for help. So the uncle only helped her, because she was the one who asked to watch the fireworks. So the uncle lit up the sky for her.

If you ask for it, he will fulfill any of your wishes.

But this also means that if you don't say it, he won't take the initiative to do anything.

If it was Ichika who asked, he would probably do the same for her.

"Uncle, I kind of understand why Miku is angry with you." Nino said calmly.

"Maybe it's because I don't want to deceive you and have any unrealistic fantasies about me." Hachiman said with a smile.

Nino chuckled and said, "But I'm not Miku. I'm just a fool who keeps rushing forward. When I fall and get hurt, when it really hurts, I will think about whether I will regret it or not."

Hachiman was silent. Mayu, who was beside him, biting a toasted bun, said, "What are you two talking about?"

Riddler, get out of Shuchiin!

The rising fireworks brought the atmosphere of the festival to a climax, and everyone thought that this was a pre-arranged plan by the student union.

"I didn't expect that our wooden student council president would have such a romantic mind."

"Oh no, I've become a fan."

"From this perspective, President Uesugi is pretty good. The fireworks are really generous. He doesn't look like a stingy person."

These comments were heard on the school forum one after another, and they inadvertently helped to restore the current president's declining reputation.
