64 Hikigaya's Life Opportunities

Dongda Hospital.

When Hikigaya woke up again, he found himself lying on a hospital bed. He looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and decided in his heart:

'I will never do such a risky thing again.'

If I made a mistake in judgement, or if Kido Jun's hand shook, the butterfly knife might stab my heart.

Then the mystery novel he was still serializing could be declared finished... Not for himself, but if Hikigaya Hachiman died, it would be the time for the Japanese mystery novel industry to lower its flag to half-mast in mourning.

"Hikigaya-kun! You're finally awake."

Not long after Hikigaya woke up, he was staring at the ceiling in a daze when Jabami Yumeko pushed the door open and came in. She grabbed a towel in her hand and rushed into Hikigaya Hachiman's arms.

"...Jabaka, there's no need to worry about me. My hand is just bleeding a little."

Hikigaya felt helpless. He felt the softness on his chest, then looked at his hands which were reinforced with layers of steel. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Is this considered worrying too much?"

This feeling of being a stranger in a foreign land, this feeling of being cared for by the opposite sex, made Hikigaya feel a little itchy.

'What does it feel like?'

At this moment, Hikigaya really wanted to use his own words to record the feelings that made him excited, but after racking his brains, he found that this feeling could not be recorded in his words.

This is probably the feeling that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

"Anyway, let the doctor remove the plaster on my hands first..." Hikigaya raised his hands in plaster helplessly.

I was speechless for a moment. What kind of doctor would put a plaster cast on the patient without even checking his symptoms?

It's just a knife wound on my hand...why put on a cast?

"No, Hikigaya-kun, this is just insurance to prevent your hand from getting hurt again."

Jabami Yumeko wiped her eyes and said, "I noticed that the calluses on Hikigaya-kun's hands are probably from long-term writing or typing."

"Plus, Hikigaya-kun is busy going home every night... I guess Hikigaya-kun must be engaged in a related profession." The tenderness in Jabaka's eyes seemed to overflow, and he held Hikigaya's plaster hand and stroked it gently.

"So please, Hiki-kun, just think of it as a good thing for yourself and your future health, and take a good rest these few days."

Hikigaya was silent.

It wasn't because of Snake's concern that he, as an egoist, quickly figured out some things.

Jabami's family background, though noble in his opinion, has fallen on hard times now, and there is no reason for him to order the doctors at Tokyo Hospital to cast him. This matter can only be handled by Momobami Kirari.

So the other party is likely to be able to deduce the secrets he is hiding now, and the fact that he is a mystery novelist is probably known to the other party. Thinking a little more... Has the other party also known about his plan with Juraku-senpai and the grudge with Mibu Omi Aoi?

Too many possibilities arise in Hikigaya's mind. Hikigaya deduces countless possible futures and then rejects them himself. He has to find the path that is most beneficial to himself among them.

But before Hikigaya discovered the path, he felt a cool touch on both sides of his cheeks.

It's Yumeko! She held up Hikigaya's face with both hands, forcing Hikigaya's dead fish eyes to look at her: "Hikigaya-kun, take a break!"

"Do snakes eat fish?" Hikigaya felt like he was being eaten.

The ghost responded: "Okay."

The only sound in the silent ward was the slanting wind and drizzle outside.

Hikigaya felt his heartbeat gradually speeding up, but this time he was subjectively clear about his prime number memory.

Prime numbers and the like can be memorized later.

Hikigaya didn't want to miss this feeling.

Until the sudden ring of a bell broke the atmosphere in the ward, which seemed a bit weird to Hikigaya.

He was startled, and the prime number was remembered again. He looked at the phone on the bedside and subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it. It was not until the plaster collided that he came to his senses and realized that he had lost the ability to take care of himself.

"Hikigaya Hachiman, look at how slow your thinking is!" Hikigaya cursed in his heart.

He looked at Jakuku awkwardly, not knowing how to start the conversation.

"Hi, hi." Jabami Yumeko patted her thigh, walked obediently to the bedside, picked up the phone, answered the call, and put the phone to Hikigaya's neck.

After Hikigaya clamped it, he very considerately retreated to the gate to avoid hearing Hikigaya's conversation.

When it comes to details, Yumeko Jabami really has no clue.

Only then did Hikigaya hear who was on the other end of the line.

Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Hikigaya-kun, how did you do it?!" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and Hikigaya could clearly feel her emotions.

Overflowing with joy.

"What did I do?" Hikigaya was a little confused.

"Member of Chiba Prefecture, Kiwatari, was arrested last night. She is my father's mortal enemy and has been targeting him in business..."

What Hikigaya was concerned about was not this, but that he had just realized that he had been unconscious for a day.

Wouldn't that be...

Hikigaya's body stiffened.

"Hikigaya-kun, are you listening to me?"

Hikigaya Hachiman took a deep breath and said, "I'm here."

"The people above told my dad that it was someone from the Bai Kui family who gave the signal. Today, the threshold of my house was almost broken down..."

After all, she is a girl who has worked hard to run the family for many years, but she didn't expect that her family would take off one day because of the Hyakuma family?

So how did the Yukinoshita family get in touch with the Hyakuma family? This puzzled Mrs. Yukinoshita, and after finding Haruno, Haruno was also in a state of confusion.

But she quickly realized that the only connection between her family and the Hyakuha family was Hikigaya Hachiman.

Although Hikigaya Hachiman is not a complete family member, he has become a close partner with Yukinoshita Haruno over the years, so he can be called half a member of the Yukinoshita family.

Yukinoshita Haruno figured out what had happened almost instantly. It must be that Hikigaya Hachiman did something to make that woman Momobami Kirari happy, which made her love the woman and raise the status of the Yukinoshita family in Chiba.

"Did you win her...in gambling?" Yang No lowered her voice on the other end of the phone.

"No." Hikigaya's brain has started operating in two threads. He has bestowed such a great blessing on the Yukinoshita family far away in Chiba, so what about him, the primary contributor, Hikigaya Hachiman?

Hikigaya felt his heartbeat quicken again, and it was impossible for him not to be excited. He had made such a great sacrifice, thinking about improvement from the first moment of school, wasn't it for this moment?

"Then....Isn't it possible that she has taken a fancy to you?"

Yang No's tone was a little hesitant. If that was the case... then Yukino would have to suffer, for the sake of the family... No, that would be putting the cart before the horse!

If the prosperity of the family is achieved at the cost of Yukino's happiness, is this a victory? Haruno is caught in a dilemma... But now, Hyaku has already handed the benefits to the Yukinoshita family, and there is absolutely no possibility of taking it back. If she does it again at this time... I'm afraid her fate will not be much better than that of Councillor Kiwa.

"Nothing, I just blocked a knife for her and saved her life."

"Huh? You're hurt?!"

"It's really rare that Miss Yang Noi actually cared about me first."

"Stop interrupting." Haruno frowned on the other end of the conversation. Although there were some personal emotions mixed in, Hikigaya was half a wife after all, and her position in Haruno's heart was far greater than Momobami Kirari.

In Hikigaya's words, she is an imperfect careerist.

"Injured, in the hospital."

"Where is it? I'll drive to see you tomorrow."

It takes about half an hour to drive from Chiba to Tokyo. Yukinoshita Haruno, who is busy with many things, decides to take a day off from her schedule to meet her cash cow.

I've made a lot of money working part-time as Hikigaya's agent over the years.

"No need, it's just a minor injury, I'll probably be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

Hikigaya looked at the kind-faced Jabami Yumeko not far away, and felt inexplicably uneasy. He decisively rejected Haruno's request to visit.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the woman who appeared also made Hikigaya Hachiman give up the idea of ​​continuing to talk on the phone. He hurriedly said a few polite words and hung up the phone.

The first thing that catches your eye is a pair of brown leather boots, and further up is a pair of plump legs in matte black stockings.

The beautiful face still has the dark blue eye shadow and lip gloss painted on it. It is Momobami Kirari who has come to visit!

Hikigaya was facing a formidable enemy, knowing that this might be his chance to take off.

'I have to consider whether this is my only chance in this life, a chance to save at least ten years of hard work!'

"Jabuku-san, can you please leave Hikigaya-kun and I alone for a while?"

Jabami Yumeko was startled and cast a questioning look at Hikigaya Hachiman. After getting his permission, she said, "Hikigaya-kun, my sister and I are staying in Ward 101. If you have any questions, you can find me there."

"Then I'll leave first~"

Jabami Yumeko gently closed the door, and in the empty single room, only Hikigaya Hachiman and Momobami Kirari were left.

Hikigaya keenly discovered that Momobaku was holding a file bag that looked very thick in his hand.

At this moment, Momobaku was still wearing his school uniform, and considering the weather outside, he looked like he had just come out of school.

"Hikigaya-kun, what I have in my hand is the investigation file on you. Do you want me to open it?" After sitting down, Momobami Kirari squeezed her beautiful legs together and sat on the chair next to Hikigaya very ladylike.

Hikigaya Hachiman could smell a faint floral scent from her.

"This file was sent to me by Tsinghua University and has not been opened yet~"

"I can destroy it if you don't want me to."

Momobami Kirari leaned down, her full chest almost touching Hikigaya Hachiman's chest. Her warm breath hit Hikigaya's face as she spoke, and her deep blue eyes stared at Hikigaya.

Under her eyes, all lies were exposed.

This is the purpose of the Hundred Flower King Academy, the cultivation of mind reading. In addition to gambling, it can also be applied to all aspects of life.

And Hikigaya obviously knew this, or rather, his thinking was too quick, and he gave the answer before Momobaku realized that he was thinking.

"Please go ahead, President Momobaku." He answered without any hesitation.

Although Momobami Kirari's opening remarks were slightly different from what he had imagined, the situation remained the same and he had taken this situation into consideration when thinking about countermeasures just now.

Sincerity is the only surefire way!

He wanted to gain Momobaku's trust! Unconditional trust!

He believed that Momobami Kirari had never read his file, and he also believed that the other party would not have any grudges after his rejection, but this would block his path to progress.

Besides, there was nothing shameful about his information. He had intended to use it as a trump card to deal a fatal blow to his opponent one day, so it made sense to use it to gain Qi Luoli's trust now.

Hikigaya's decisiveness made Momobaku's calm eyes flicker slightly. She reached out to the file bag and untied the thin rope wrapped around it one circle at a time.

Momobami Kirari held pieces of white paper with his information printed on them in her hands.

Hikigaya only took a quick glance and realized that the things above were things he had memorized since elementary school.

No matter the details.

Even he himself forgot about things like who his deskmate was in first grade. For a moment, Hikigaya felt like he was stripped naked and lying on the dining table. The white papers were covering his body parts, and Momobaku was picking them up one by one with chopsticks.

What is male body...

In order to get more information and test Momobami Kirari's attitude, Hikigaya Hachiman spoke first: "I heard that Councillor Kiwatari of Chiba City was arrested."

"Ah."

Momobami Kirari stared at the file without raising her head: "Hikigaya-kun is more informed than I thought."

"How is Kiwa Jun?"

"He woke up earlier than Hikigaya-kun and is now in prison. Because Councillor Kiwatari is a councillor, it will take some time for them to be reunited."

Hikigaya Hachiman was startled. This was the power of the Momobami family, which completely skipped the judicial system of trial.

The notorious bully of the second year of Hyakkaou Academy was wiped out in such a casual manner.

Finally, Momobami Kirari finished reading the [Hikigaya - Elementary School Report] in her hand.
