The Hikigaya Couple's Youth Romance Story Is Definitely Not Problematic

Everything

With sunglasses on and her makeup expertly applied, Haruno spoke to Hachiman.

Hachiman opened the car door and got in.

As soon as he got in, Haruno poked his cheek. Seeing Haruno's annoyed expression, Hachiman was a little confused.

This person in front of him wouldn't easily show such an expression.

Do you know how much I sacrificed for you and Yukino's matters? And you even hung up on me, your sister is truly heartbroken.

Hachiman looked closely at Haruno and noticed a faint, almost imperceptible dark circle under her light makeup. Hachiman's expression softened.

Do you need any compensation?

No, thank you.

Haruno bit her lip and stared intently at Hachiman.

Just treat Yukino well, and don't go flirting around with others.

I will.

That would be for the best.

Haruno nodded and drove off.

Amidst the roar of the engine, Hachiman was quickly brought to the Yukino mansion by Haruno.

Before Hachiman could get a good look, Haruno hurriedly pulled him inside.

How undignified, rushing like that.

As soon as Haruno entered, she was scolded by Mother Yukino.

You must be Hachiman-kun, I'm indebted to you for taking care of my daughter.

Mrs. Yukino turned and gave Hachiman a faint nod.

No, you flatter me, it's my duty.

Hachiman's attitude was very sincere.

No, you don't need to be modest.

She knows her own daughter clearly; you and I both know what Little Snow was like before.

Seeing Hachiman's humble and teachable demeanor, Mother Yukino was very satisfied.

But from what I've gathered, Little Snow has become much more cheerful since she started dating you.

This is something I, as a mother, am very happy to see.

I believe that Yukino's feelings are what I should be concerned about.

Hachiman looked calmly at Mother Yukino, his tone neither subservient nor arrogant.

Mother Yukino was very satisfied with Hachiman's attitude.

But how do I know you're not after the Yukino family's fortune? Mother Yukino changed the subject, looking at Hachiman somewhat sternly.

Until Haruno appeared, Yukino had never mentioned her family situation. It was only after we confirmed our relationship that she mentioned her family was quite well-off.

Mother Yukino remained silent, just watching Hachiman.

A full ten minutes passed, and seeing that Hachiman remained so composed, Mother Yukino finally spoke again.

Then I will trust you this once. If you do anything to wrong Yukino in the future, don't blame the Yukino family for using their influence to bully you.

I wouldn't dare.

That would be for the best.

Mother Yukino gestured for Hachiman to sit down.

But there's one more thing I need to say.

Only after Hachiman sat properly in front of her did Mother Yukino continue.

Please, go ahead.

Although the Yukino family can be considered a prominent one with considerable wealth, Yukino cannot continue to rely on the family's money to support an outsider.

What do you mean? Hachiman asked, unsure.

I also need to consider my daughter's future happiness.

Mother Yukino thought for a moment before continuing: How about this: after you graduate from university, the Yukino family will provide you with a platform. If you can meet my requirements, then it's settled.

What if I can't meet them? Hachiman asked, a little nervously.

I thought you were always so calm. Don't worry, if I don't let you two be together, I fear Yukino will resent me for life.

So even if you can't meet them, you'll just be marrying into the Yukino family.

Is that all? Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.

What else do you think? I'm not an unreasonable person, and the losses caused by Yukino have already been paid for.

Mother Yukino glanced at Haruno, who was standing quietly beside them.

Alright, Hachiman-kun, Yukino is waiting for you in the back.

Mother Yukino slowly showed him the door.

Only after Hachiman turned towards the backyard did Mother Yukino gently stand up and say as she passed Haruno.

Don't forget what you promised me.

Got it.

Haruno replied through gritted teeth.

Hachiman walked to the backyard and found Yukino sitting blankly in the courtyard.

He quietly walked up to her and hugged her tightly.

Yukino let out a startled cry, then turned her head to see Hachiman, happily enjoying his embrace.

That's not right, didn't Mom call for you? Why did you come to the back?

It's all settled.

Hachiman inhaled the sweet scent of Yukino's hair.

What did Mom say to you? Yukino asked.

She said she wants me to marry into your family.
