The two are now in a private room on the second floor of a cafe.

Kushida-san specially ordered it at a high price.

Of course, this was also because she took into consideration the arrival of her family and their nonsense, and then decided that no matter what, she had to bring them to a place where they could talk and discuss things first.

Anyway, her parents are very disappointed in her and even don't want to have any contact with her anymore.

Then being able to act is acceptable.

What she fears most is that the other party will talk nonsense, otherwise the image she has built up in the past two years will be destroyed again.

"We received the letter."

"But your father felt embarrassed and didn't come, so I came here. But let me make it clear, I don't have any extra face to embarrass you." said Kushida's mother.

Although Kushida's mother looks 50% similar to Kushida, she chose to dye her hair red.

So even when she's with Kushida-san now, people don't think they are mother and daughter because of the difference in hair color.

But Kushida knew very well that this was his mother's way of deliberately drawing a line between herself and him.

"I thought maybe things might change when you came to a new place."

"But on the way here, some students smiled and greeted you, and you responded one by one."

The mother said, "So, I'm wondering if you're trying to cultivate connections like before. But this school is different. If you blow up here, your future, and even your father and I, might be affected by you."

"Now we are just telling the public that our daughter did some stupid things because she was in a trance."

“But now, if you do it again, we really can’t accept it.

"I really can't accept it!" The mother became more and more excited and seemed to be becoming a little hysterical.

Kushida was also very glad that he had booked a well-sounded private room in advance, otherwise if he had taken his mother directly to the open cafeteria, her image would have been ruined immediately.

In other words, in her worry, her mother was actually more threatening and aggressive than Horikita Suzune, who she had been wary of from the beginning?

Kushida-san discovered the sad truth.

but.

This is the relationship between her and her parents, so she has nothing to say.

When I was in junior high school, I kept a blog that recorded the information of my classmates, my true thoughts, and the secrets of my classmates that I knew. After all of them were exposed, everyone collapsed, hurt each other, and the entire class was suspended.

Kushida was blamed for the incident and was suspended from school.

And I was also locked up at home by my parents.

In her parents' understanding, she didn't understand why she did this and thought she was crazy and had mental problems.

Then the principal called and said he was willing to recommend a school for her where she could start a new life.

So I have become a burden in my parents' eyes, and it would be better if I were dealt with.

So, she went to Ikusei High School and started a new beginning here. Then, she made the rebellious decision to start over again, and then she would build a more perfect Kushida Empire than the junior high school.

This is Kushida-san's resume.

But her relationship with her parents has reached a freezing point, and now when her parents received the invitation letter from the school, they thought something had happened to her again.

what.

As expected, I guess my parents have given me the title of a trouble-making child.

Kushida-san's mood also became awkward.

"Knock knock--" At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the private room.

"Are you the waiter? Then eat your meal." Kushida's mother was very angry just now, but she also knew that it would be even more embarrassing if there were outsiders present, so she restrained her expression.

"It shouldn't be." But Kushida checked the message on his phone, and an expression of relief appeared on his face. Then he ran to the door of the private room and opened it from the inside.

"Looks like we've made it." said the boy standing outside the door.

"Come in quickly." Kushida-san said, while making way.

Then Hikigaya-kun walked in.

As soon as he entered the room, he noticed a lady with short red hair sitting inside and she started to look at him, but Hikigaya was also paying attention to her.

He had actually arrived at the shopping street in advance, but did not come in immediately because he had to meet Kushida's parents, so he still had to get ready. So Hikigaya-kun actually went back to the dormitory first, got a pair of his own glasses, and then came over.

He had deliberately delayed coming here. After all, he was here to assist Kushida. But how could he convince the elders? He would definitely have to let them get mad first.

So he deliberately let Kushida and her mother stay for a while, and waited until Kushida was scolded before knocking on the door.

"This is Hikigaya Hachiman." Kushida-san took Hachiman and sat down opposite Kushida's mother. "He's my boyfriend."

Kushida's mother immediately noticed her daughter's condition, and her expression changed rapidly, seeming to be a little angry, but also a little dissatisfied, and then disappointed.

"Auntie, don't be angry first." Hachiman noticed that after Kushida introduced him, he stopped moving. Does that mean he wants to give the occasion to him?

"I am indeed dating Kushida-san."

"And now you are so angry because you think Kushida-san is still the same as before and hasn't changed at all?" Hachiman said.

"She told you about her past?" Kushida's mother seemed a little surprised.

Because from the school gate to the shopping street, Kushida met several groups of students, and those students were all greeting Kushida.

In her opinion, her daughter was just pretending to be good again. If someone knew her past, they would not be nice to her, but would avoid her awkwardly.

"--" Kushida.

Kushida felt that it was definitely the right time to ask Hikigaya to come over, because you see, her mother casually mentioned her past, and then the parents only needed to stay in the school for half a day, but she still had a whole year to stay.

So the relationship may have collapsed immediately because of the mother's stay of half a day.

Especially now that Class D is leaderless, even though Ayanokouji took on the responsibility last month, there's still a whole year of special exams ahead, and she needs to avoid being expelled, so it's going to be difficult. If the relationship is damaged, she'll probably become a target of public criticism immediately.

"Yes," Hachiman said. "Kushida has a very good affinity, and that's her strength. She seems to enjoy making friends widely, and treats them all as true friends. But later on, it's like completing a mission, treating everyone as a true friend, and they can talk about anything. However, a person's abilities are limited."

"So it was inevitable that she ultimately couldn't handle the consequences of making so many friends."

"..." Kushida's mother. "Are you saying that her past problems were all due to making friends?"

"Then let me put it another way," Hachiman said. "Auntie, have you ever had a true friend? I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I only have three and a half friends right now."

"..."

? ?

True friends, and then three and a half?

"If you're a true friend—" Kushida's mother said.

"A true friend is someone who trusts you and tells you secrets that they wouldn't tell anyone else, not even their parents, like when you had rounded corners in middle school."

"—"

what?

Kushida's mother looked at the boy subtly because of what he was saying.

Because who will tell you how bad things were in the past.

"A true friend of yours would be someone who could tell you if you've been cheating recently, who you've been cheating with, or if your husband is cheating, but you still want to stick with him," Hachiman said. "After all, a true friend is the type you can tell anything to without worrying about any problems."

"——" Kushida's mother now had this expression.

She kind of understood what the boy wanted to say.

Are you trying to whitewash Platycodon?

"You mean Kikyo used to make friends based on this standard? And then in the end, she was exhausted and couldn't control herself because of one person." said Kushida's mother.

"It's probably like this. She's not good at it but she wants to have fun. However, she can't compare to others in terms of physical fitness, academic performance, or various talents. As a result, she finds that she seems to be able to get close to others very easily, so she takes advantage of this and gets it to an outrageous level." Hachiman said.

Hikigaya-kun knew that Kushida-san, who was listening to him, seemed to be about to break down as he said this.

So I immediately changed the subject.

"The school we are in now is quite special. Although Kushida seems to have brought out her junior high school ways again after coming to this high school, her actions are beneficial to us," said Hachiman.

"You said there are benefits to doing this?" Kushida's mother looked at them with a puzzled look.

I originally thought that this boy named Hikigaya was a lobbyist hired by my daughter, and now he is indeed a lobbyist.

But why does it feel like he not only understands her daughter's affairs, but... also condones and even encourages her to continue this way.

"It's beneficial," Hachiman said. "This school provides a certain amount of support to outstanding students, and Kushida-san has already received free admission to the University of Tokyo without taking the entrance exam."

"Do you think that if it was something bad, she would be able to get such an admission?" Hachiman said.

"—"

Can't understand.

This is probably what Kushida's mother's current expression reflects.

Because she still thought her daughter was just messing around here, and was just like she was in junior high school, completely unrepentant, and would eventually bring trouble to them as parents.

As a result, it seems like it is about to take off now?

"Are you sure you can be admitted to the University of Tokyo?" Kushida's mother felt that she had heard it correctly.

"Tokyo University, Keio University, and Yatsuhashi University are all good options. Kushida-san wants to become a lawyer and is currently preparing for that, so he will probably choose Yatsuhashi University in the end."

Although Yatsuhashi University is not as famous as the University of Tokyo, each university has its own specialties. The University of Tokyo excels in science, medicine, literature, engineering, and civil engineering, but when it comes to law, Yatsuhashi University is more famous.

There is nothing to say about this.

Although Yatsuhashi University ranks behind the University of Tokyo, it is also a highly ranked university and is a university that very outstanding talents have the opportunity to attend.

As for Kushida's parents, his mother became a full-time housewife after graduating from high school, but his father only attended an ordinary local university and could not compete with these famous schools.

"The admission quota has been confirmed," Hachiman said. "And since you're attending Kushida-san's three-way meeting this time, you should also be able to get this information from her homeroom teacher."

"So, Kushida-san must have made the right choice by coming to this school."

"And the future is bright. You don't need to worry about that," said Hachiman.

“——” Kushida’s mother.

"..." Kushida's mother.

This is not about not worrying, but also about being proud. Because whose children can easily go to the University of Tokyo and Yatsuhashi University?

Moreover, if Kikyo wants to become a lawyer in the future, being a lawyer is also a high-tech and respectable profession.

"Can you really continue like this?" Kushida's mother looked at her daughter with a searching gaze.

"If there are no deviations at the moment, it should be like this," said Kushida.

Yawata has already said that even if he doesn't marry her, he will pay her 2000 million yen for promotion fees, and then she will get a ticket to university.

If you graduate successfully, your future achievements will probably be great.

"Is that so—" Kushida's mother began to calculate the gains and losses.

I originally thought that this daughter was hopeless and would only bring shame to her parents, but now I see, isn't this a great honor?

"Well, this...um, Hikigaya-kun." At this time, Kushida's mother looked at Hachiman.

Hachiman already knew what she wanted to ask.

That is, if you suddenly find out that your daughter has taken off, then what about the situation of your daughter's boyfriend?

"After graduating from high school, I will be directly admitted to the University of Tokyo to study medicine," said Hachiman.

"Is that so—" Kushida's mother seemed to nod, no longer showing any dissatisfaction.

"Auntie, you've worked so hard to get here. Why don't you eat something first? We have to attend the three-party meeting with Kushida-san later," Hachiman said. "But my dad will be here soon, so I have to go pick him up now. Kushida-san will have to accompany you."

"By the way, this is a last-minute gift I bought. It's not meant to be a token of respect, but since this is your first time meeting Kushida-san, please accept it."

"Yeah." Kushida's mother had already calmed down.

Then, Hachiman looked at Kushida, and with a gentle wave from the other party, he left the private room.

Even though he had already eaten lunch and couldn't eat any more, he wanted to create an opportunity for Kushida-san and her mother to continue to talk alone.

What Kushida-san wanted was to worry that her mother would talk nonsense about her past, but now, she has been given a buff.

Her future is bright and promising, and any intelligent parent would know what to do at this point.
