Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"what......"

"Then let me introduce myself!" Having said that, Yukinoshita's father kicked off his shoes and ran to the kitchen.

"...Hey." The wife of the head of the Yukinoshita family sighed.

She picked up his discarded shoes, carefully placed hers next to him, and followed him. "Please respect other families' homes..."

Ms. Ono was the only one left behind.

Looking behind her, I could see a small group of men in black, sunglasses, and headphones standing at strategic points throughout the block.

With nowhere to run...I got caught like a mouse.

"Yeah~ Mr. Hikigu. Won't you let me in?"

"Ah... yes... um..."

Yang Nai gracefully took off her shoes and put them aside.

"What are you doing here?"

Ms. Yang Nai turned around with a bright smile on her face.

"Isn't it obvious?"

......

......

At this time, I suddenly had a thought, like lightning.

"Because your sister is here..."

Yang Nai smiled. "My parents were very curious why Yukino-chan skipped school for two days in a row...then this morning a boy left the apartment with her and he asked our limo driver to take them to an unknown place... ...then throughout the morning several family partners were called in to help...”

"I have a cold." I explained nervously, unable to meet her gaze.

"So, in selflessly caring for the poor, my sister appeals to the strength of the Yukinoshita clan. You know it's kind of taboo for her, you know? She's not the type to want to depend on others, especially Derived from our parents' names."

"That's because she did..."

Pieces are falling.

Ms. Yono took a step forward and pushed me against the wall.

"No. My parents aren't interested in what Yukino-chan was doing this morning...but...why..."

Take a step closer and the door closes.

I now have my back to the door.

She moved closer to me, our breaths almost touching.

The outside wind was blocked by the closed door, and the only moving air came from Yang Nao's mouth, which smelled like the fragrance of lilies...

But the next thing she said made me shudder.

"...they're interested in you."

Yang Nai approached step by step, forcing me to the door.

I can feel the cold door against my back.

-------------------------------------

My sister Komachi finally came home.

The Hikigaya family and the Yukinoshita family sat facing each other.

On a sofa sat Yukinoshita's mother and father, and Ms. Harino.

On the other side are my sister, mom and dad.

Between them, Yukinoshita and I sat on the two-seater sofa.

I was still wearing my yukata, and Yukinoshita was still wearing an apron.

We all drank tea with the help of Mom, with the help of Komachi and Yono.

They greeted each other with smiles all around them.

All right......

"Haha... so this time my son did it..."

looks normal enough...

"Ah? Is that so? My daughter is good at studies. Top scorer in the league! Daddy's youngest daughter, haha!"

But that doesn't explain it...

"Haha, it's true that my son should study a little more. Hmm...they at least seem like good friends?"

Why does this vibe feel like a marriage interview?

I looked at Dad, who was quiet for most of the conversation.

Maybe he's trying to save face with a congressman by saying nothing and saying nothing?

That strategy doesn't work! Try to get us out of this!

He could only glance at me apologetically and shrug.

Komachi was busy eating snacks, while Hino was drinking tea quietly.

The most mysterious of them all is Yukinoshita's mother, who doesn't even know of my existence.

She didn't even say a word about me or about me.

To her, I'm probably worthless... Speaking of which, this is the third time I've failed to properly introduce myself to her.

my stomach...pressure...

"Sit up straight, Hikigu-kun." Yukinoshita said softly to me.

"Why should I?" I hiss back.

"Appearance is everything now," she replied softly.

"A man in a frilly white apron is not entitled to speak."

It is the children's mission to behave well in front of other people's houses.

You bring well-behaved kids so you can show other parents "Hey! I'm a better parent than you!" Then they can use those kids as role models for their own kids.

That's why your parents will say to their kids, 'Why can't you be more like Genius or Police?' and then when the parents realize they've raised a bunch of kiddos, they slowly put Get yourself drunk.

what.

I'm definitely not just a brat.

Yukinoshita sighed.

"I know it's hard for you...but please at least try to look impressive. Despite your many flaws, you have to emphasize some positives..."

"Why would I care to impress your parents?"

Yukinoshita said nothing.

Komachi asks everyone to forgive her for doing her homework, with the demeanor of a political guru.

So the two agreed to fire her.

I envy her abilities. Although Komachi is my younger sister, there are many things I envy my younger sister who is usually very unreliable.

Before the head of the Yukinoshita family turned to me, the conversation about scores and other things continued.Clean-shaven, smiling, with neatly combed hair, he asked me a question with his rain-white teeth:

"So, Mr. Biqigu, what do you think of my daughter?"

"Uh...uh...wait...what are you asking me?"

Yukinoshita sighed and put his palm in front of me.

My parents are ashamed that I am their son.

Ms. Ono sat there, silent as a cat—not quite still, not quite gone, as if she was waiting in the bushes for the moment when I fell.

Not to mention there was her mother, who didn't even glance in my direction...

OMG, Yukinoshita's family will eat me raw!

I didn't expect Yukinoshita to investigate.

"I guess I should be more specific..." Yukinoshita's father sighed. "Hikigu-kun... what is your relationship with my daughter?"

"I...um...we went to the same school?"

Yukinoshita's father blinked. "I...understand...I was wondering if I could gain insight into your personal relationship with her. Are you her boyfriend?

"No." I said hastily.

"You talk too fast," he said with a laugh. "It's reflexive for them to tell a lie. I should know because I've seen a lot of liars. I'm a politician after all!" My parents probably laughed just to ease the tension.

This person wants to know about my relationship with Yukinoshita.

OMG what should I say?

"We're in the same club, Dad."

"Huh?" I looked at Yukinoshita next to me.

"Aren't we?" she asked, leaning her head towards me.

"Yeah...we're all in the ministry," I explained. "We do things... you know, like helping people and all that..."

I know I should have acted more calmly now.

But nerves battered from the cold start attacking me... oh, oh...stomach ache...too much stress...

"I see...same society, eh...?"

He leaned back, holding a finger parallel to his lips.He gazed into my heart and soul, brooding.Maybe his gaze has gone to another dimension, as if he is staring at the door of truth.It's a no equal exchange, I just have to live, no matter what he takes from me.

"Father." The eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Yang Nao's voice came.

"Um?"

"I know Hikiya-kun myself. He's a man of integrity. While he may have a few minor character flaws, he has his own charm, doesn't he?"

"Aha! Then he is!" my mom chimed in.

Mom, you stay behind the scenes! Do I need to teach you one of my 108 professional skills?

Stand outside the crossfire!

Yukinoshita's father smiled.

"So you're just from the same society, right?"

"Yes......"

I wish I could look sideways at Yukinoshita's reaction.

I want to know what she's thinking, I want us to communicate with each other and know what we're trying to say...what are we?

"So I guess no matter what I say, your relationship won't change?"

"No." I said hastily. "What do I mean? What I want to say is that we are partners in the society." I choked up nervously.

Yukinoshita's father crossed his legs, lost in thought again.

"So, if I tell you that my daughter and Hayama Hayato were once engaged, your relationship will not change?"

"Do not--"

--meeting ?

and many more.

what?

"Um...say it again?" I said.

Yukinoshita's father laughed. "I said that my daughter Yukinoshita Yukino and my good friend and close associate's son Hayama Hayato were once engaged. You must know that they were childhood friends? If I remember correctly, Hayato was very popular Welcome, Yukino must be very popular too..."

"what......"

Realizing this, my heart almost jumped out.Maybe I should be stuffed into a barrel, buried under a mountain, and turned into a Buddha.At least then, I might have some insight into how I'm feeling right now.
