Then she sat down on the sofa nearby, first looking at her daughter, then at the two people beside her daughter, whom she hadn't looked at closely just now.

However, she did not deny that her son was a bit stupid, but he had good vision. These two people each had their own unique characteristics.

[One is youthful and cute, the other is steady and intellectual.]

[Of course, this look, like a mother-in-law examining her future daughter-in-law, still made Ebina and Isshiki very nervous.]

【Come to the chat group.】

Isshiki: "Senior, what should we do now? @Hikigaya Hachiman."

Hikigaya: "Don't ask me. I don't know. My mom will be home today. She might not even be home during the New Year."

Isshiki: "Senior, please think of a solution quickly. Your mother is watching me."

Hikigaya: "This, this isn't something I can do. I can assure you, if I go out and say anything now, my mother will glare at me and send me back to the kitchen. After all, my status in the family is even lower than my own cat's."

Miura: "Huh? Huh! Huh! Wait, so that means Hikigaya's mother is watching you, Himena, too, right? @Ebina Himena."

Ebina: "Yes, Yumiko. And not only did she look, but Hikigaya-kun's mother even smiled at us."

Miura: "This, this, this is like meeting the parents, right? Isn't this moving a little too fast?"

Komachi: "Oh, don't worry, sisters. Mom isn't that scary. As long as Dad isn't around, she's still very gentle."

[Okay, let's get back to reality. After all, to be honest, no one in the chat group can help these two right now.]

[Of course, some people's back teeth are already broken, and although they may feel embarrassed, I believe that this feeling of winning at the starting line is very important to some people, right?]

If someone performs a little better, or works a little harder, and is recognized, wouldn't most people be in trouble?

No, they didn't want that. Two people who had always been on the track, and one who had been at the end since joining the track, felt deeply dissatisfied.

The Hikigaya household is unusually quiet right now; you can even hear the sound of Hikigaya chopping vegetables in the living room.

Hikigaya's mother isn't stupid. She knows her sudden appearance must have disturbed something, but it's a rare occasion for her to come back, and she doesn't want to leave.

[My daughter is the same. She's trying to find a topic right now, but why is she so stunned? Both my son and daughter are so stupid. Sigh.]

[It's okay with my daughter, but why is my son so stupid too? Never mind, let me, as a mother, handle this.]

Hikigaya's mother coughed, attracted the attention of the three people, and then slowly spoke.

【"So, Komachi."】

"Eh? What's wrong, Mom?"

Hikigaya's mother looked at Komachi, who was bewildered, and sighed inwardly. "You really are stupid. We are mother and daughter, why are you acting like you're just accepting orders?"

Hikigaya's mother continued, "Have you finished your homework? It's rare for me to come back, so I'd like to help you with your homework. Is that okay?"

[“Eh? Mom? Homework help? This…”]

In fact, Xiao Xiaomachi really wanted to say that she had finished her homework, but looking at her mother's "kind" face, she finally shook her head and said, "Okay."

"Ah~ You haven't done your homework? I'll teach you then."

[Hearing her daughter say this, Hikigaya's mother was overjoyed and quickly spoke.]

Hikigaya's mother said this as she quickly dragged Komachi towards her room on the second floor. As they were going upstairs, she said to Ebina and Isshiki, "You guys play with Hachiman. I'm going to help Komachi with her homework."

[I can only say that this really made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.]

Author's words: "Update, update, update, then go to sleep. I'll update tomorrow morning, and then tomorrow night as well."

The author must pay back what he owes.

Otherwise, I always feel like I still owe people something even though the New Year is approaching.

Woo woo woo.

Please vote, please vote, please vote.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

No. 20: Hikigaya Hachiman, who is very calm

As expected, after Hikigaya's mother took Komachi to help with homework, the originally somewhat tense atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Isshiki and Ebina exchanged glances and gave each other a wry smile.

Now they really feel a sense of sympathy.

[Because meeting the parents is something that would make anyone nervous, and they are the same now.]

Hikigaya also emerged from the kitchen at this moment. He looked at Rufu and the two of them and said calmly, "Don't worry, Mom. She's actually quite peaceful. As long as you don't disturb her sleep."

Hikigaya still shudders when he thinks of the time when he and Komachi were little and woke up to their mother's sleep and how angry she was.

After saying this, Hikigaya returned to the kitchen to get busy.

[The two of them stared at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.]

【I can only say, I give you a blank stare. 】

Hikigaya is a fast cook, and in no time, he's finished making fried chicken and spareribs.

[And these two are actually not very troublesome, except that the curry needs to simmer for a while. ]

[Also, the food Mom bought needs to be prepared, and this amount probably isn't enough for five people, right?]

"Vegetables, natto, fish, lobster? Mom, what are you doing? Buying such expensive things?"

"But this thing is quite troublesome to prepare. Forget it. Let's just make a lighter soup. The previous dishes are a bit too strong."

Hikigaya picked some vegetables and washed the fish in the sink.

Then he took out some ingredients and prepared to cook a dish, which was of course just some simple home cooking.

[Little did I know that while I was picking and choosing, the two girls who were originally sitting on the sofa had quietly moved outside the kitchen to observe furtively.]

[(There's a wall in that Japanese kitchen that's half hollowed out.)]

【Hikigaya, with his back to them, didn't notice anything at all.】

The two watched him work hard at cooking and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They had to admit, when Hikigaya Hachiman got serious, he was really handsome.

[Although he is very handsome, it is just his dead fish eyes that ruin his beauty.]

[If he squints his eyes a little, or wears glasses or something, there might be a new school idol.]

[“Gudong.”]

Isshiki couldn't help but swallow her saliva. It was no wonder she reacted so strongly. The food was already delicious, and she was a bit obsessed with looks. Not everyone could resist this kind of temptation.

[If a certain silly kid were here, his reaction would be even bigger than Isshiki's, right?]

[Ebina has also switched forms now, but she's not as superficial as Isshiki. Although she's certainly handsome, she's now considering how to compete with those two.]

[After all, if she can't win, I believe she will feel very regretful, right? ]

She hadn't originally wanted to compete, after all, she was just a fool, but everyone has their own selfish motives.

"Hikigaya-kun, you're such a hot commodity! But it's also true that few can escape your gentleness." Ebina muttered to himself.

Hikigaya was concentrating on cooking, completely unaware of the presence of someone behind him.

Isshiki, standing by, also watched Hikigaya cook intently. She swore she had absolutely no inappropriate thoughts.

[Of course, they weren't the only ones looking at him.]

[There was also a mother and daughter upstairs watching them and her.]

[The temptation of gossip and gossip for girls is always irresistible.]

【Not to mention that it was her son's melon, so as a mother, she definitely had to enjoy it.】

[Watching my son and his two girlfriends watching him with my daughter is such a thrilling sight!]

[She suddenly felt more interested in chatting with her bestie.]

[Of course, I believe her best friend would think this is normal, after all, her best friend has four younger sisters.]

[But of course, best friends come second. They say sons resemble their fathers. I wonder if her lovely husband has done anything to let her down?]

She wouldn't advise her son to do that, but if he dared, he'd be in big trouble.

[And this can also be a way to improve the relationship between husband and wife, because I haven't scared "him" in a long time, hehehehe.]

Hikigaya wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally getting it done.

[He turned around and was almost startled. Two pairs of bright eyes stared at him, and he was so scared that he almost dropped the food.]

"What are you two doing?"

Hikigaya asked in surprise, "Weren't you just in the living room? How come you're here in the blink of an eye?"

He really didn't realize he'd been cooking for half an hour.

Ebina and Isshiki exchanged glances, then replied in unison, "Look at you."

[The two of them had somehow come to a point of cooperation. After all, the other party had quite a few people. Since they had both met their parents, they might as well join forces.]

"What's so good about me?"

Hikigaya muttered something strange, then began to serve food to the table.

"I'll help."

[“I’ll come too.”]

[Both of them wanted to go forward to help, but were stopped by Hikigaya.]

"It's very hot. No need for your help. I can handle it on my own."

He was serious for once.

[I can't blame him for making a big deal out of nothing, because this kind of thing has happened before. The sight of Komachi's red fingertips made Hikigaya feel so distressed.]

[In the end, the two of them couldn't persuade him, so they could only stand aside and continue to watch him.]

[Of course, if there's only one girl, the other girl watching will definitely think to herself, "Just pamper her, huh."]

[But now, the water is actually quite fair.]

"Of course, this is only when we're alone. If something bad happens in a group or video chat, neither of us can guarantee whether Hikigaya's soft flesh hurts more on the left or the right side."

[After all, can you adjust the intensity when you're angry? ]

Author's words: "I'm going to write a big chapter while I eat. Today is a double update. Ebina can probably write another six or seven. Everyone, please wait for the next one."

Please vote, please vote, please vote.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Chapter 21: Ebina: "This is a reward for helping me, Hachiman-kun."

After Hikigaya brought the dishes to the dining room, Hikigaya's mother and Komachi also came down from upstairs.

[And they quickly sat down on one side, leaving no empty seats there.]

"Come, come, it's time to eat. Come and sit down. Come and sit down. You must be starving."

【Mother Hikigaya happily greets the two of them.】

“Thank you, Auntie.”

[The two men quickly stood up and bowed in thanks.]

Hikigaya wiped his hands and asked the others, "How much can you eat? I'll serve you some rice."

"Onii-chan, I'll keep it the same as always. More curry, less rice, and more meat."
