The Hikigaya Couple's Youth Romantic Comedy Is Definitely Not Wrong

Alright, satisfied? You almost made her cry.

Yukino interjected.

Well, well, isn't that something.

Hachiman looked at Rumi's teary eyes and said she was made of water, unlike her mother, who was made of snow.

What did you say? Yukino raised her voice, clearly displeased.

Nothing, just praising your fair skin, like snow.

Is that so?

Yukino could only look at Hachiman, who was full of sweet talk, with a helpless expression.

Of course! Don't you know whose wife I am?

Hachiman said with unusual pride.

Who's your wife? Yukino retorted.

Daughter, who are you calling your mom?

Hachiman pinched Rumi's little nose.

Rumi didn't say anything, just squinted comfortably and pointed in Yukino's direction.

See? Our daughter said it, you can't deny it.

Hachiman teased Yukino.

No... you haven't... Yukino said shyly.

Haven't what? Hachiman asked, confused.

You haven't proposed to me yet... Yukino whispered.

Pfft... Hachiman burst out laughing.

What's the big deal? Do you want me to buy a ring right now? Hachiman asked Yukino with a smile.

No, even if you bought one, I wouldn't accept. You have no sincerity.

Yukino playfully pouted, annoyed.

Hmm, I did forget about that.

Thinking this, Hachiman secretly made a decision to give Yukino a surprise.

Chapter 43: Little Rumi's New School

Masami Nakajima is a 26-year-old Japanese language teacher at Chiba City Takasu Elementary School. She is popular with her students for her sweet looks, gentle personality, and soft voice. She has also been entrusted with important responsibilities due to her solid teaching skills, becoming the life guidance teacher for Class 5-E.

Today is the opening day of Takasu Elementary School. It would have been a very ordinary day, but it was disrupted by the arrival of three people.

Masami Nakajima stared blankly at the three people in front of her, who shared the same aura.

Um... excuse me, are you a family of three? Masami looked at Rumi and Yukino, noticing that the two bore a striking resemblance, the only differences being their eye color and pupil shape.

Yukino's navy blue eyes and cat-like vertical pupils appeared exceptionally noble, but Rumi's eyes inherited Hachiman's lineage.

This... as expected of father and daughter, they have such similar temperaments.

Masami observed Hachiman and Rumi, thinking to herself.

You could say that.

Hachiman smiled and nodded.

Then, could you please sign here and leave your name and contact information? It would be convenient for me to inform you two about your daughter's situation.

Masami Nakajima said politely, with a gentle smile on her face.

Of course, it's our pleasure to trouble you.

Hachiman bowed to the teacher in front of him.

Hachiman Hikigaya? So, she took her mother's surname, but that doesn't seem right... Masami Nakajima thought to herself.

After Hachiman finished writing, he handed the pen to Yukino.

Yukino Yukinoshita? What's going on... Wait, Yukinoshita? Masami Nakajima saw Yukino's name and was surprised.

From the Yukinoshita company...?

Then that's it. We may have to bother you two more in the future, please bear with us.

Masami said politely.

It's our duty. We'll be counting on you with this child.

Mm, now go to the academic affairs office to get your textbooks and then introduce yourself to your classmates.

I'll go get the books. Yukino, you stay here and chat with the teacher.

Hachiman, holding the signed proof from Masami, turned and walked towards the exit.

Rumi, come here, say hello to the teacher.

Yukino gently called over Rumi, who had been hesitant from the start.

"Good morning, Ms. Nakajima."

Rumi said coldly.

They really are mother and daughter, even their voices are so similar.

But that doesn't seem right.

Masami Nakajima, who had never even had a boyfriend until now, looked at Yukino, who appeared much younger than herself, with confusion.

Her daughter is this old, yet she looks so young and has such a good figure. She truly is a wealthy wife, isn't she? She takes great care of herself.

"Please bear with her, Teacher. This child isn't very well-behaved."

Yukino's smile was as impeccable as her older sister's.

"It's my duty."

Masami Nakajima responded.

Was she spoiled as a child? It's my bad luck to be stuck with this trouble.

She thought to herself.

"Rumi, pack your books."

Hachiman knocked and entered, handing the books in his hand to Rumi.

Once Rumi had packed all her books and put on her backpack again, Hachiman took Yukino's hand and prepared to leave.

"Teacher, we'll be going now."

"Wait a moment."

Masami Nakajima called out, stopping the two.

"Is there something else?" Yukino asked, sounding a little confused.

"Yes, our school is only for registration today; we won't be having classes. So, after Tsurumi-san finishes her introduction, you can leave."

Masami Nakajima explained.

"I see. Then we'll be intruding."

Hachiman nodded and stood beside Rumi again with Yukino.

Seeing the two return, Rumi, who had been flustered, calmed down again.

"Then I'll take you to the classroom."

As Masami Nakajima spoke, she stood up. Her figure was perfectly accentuated by her teacher's uniform.

"That outfit looks good. How about wearing it for me later?" Hachiman whispered to Yukino.

"Pervert. You're always thinking about things like that,"

Yukino pinched Hachiman irritably.

Seeing that Yukino didn't object, Hachiman knew he would have a feast for his eyes again. He hummed a little tune and proudly walked along, holding Rumi's small hand.

When they reached the classroom door, a noisy clamor could be heard from inside. Masami Nakajima gave Hachiman and Yukino an embarrassed smile, gestured for a moment of her time, and entered the classroom.

The students inside, seeing their teacher enter, immediately turned into good little angels and quietly sat in their seats.

Masami Nakajima nodded with satisfaction and said in her soft voice, "Today, as usual, we'll first hand in our homework, then distribute textbooks, and after that, you can go home."

Seeing no reaction from the students below, Masami Nakajima continued unperturbed, "However, before that, we have one more thing."

At this point, the elementary school students couldn't help themselves and were all curiously asking questions.

"Alright, everyone quiet down."

Only after the students quieted down again did Masami Nakajima continue, "Today~ we will be welcoming a new classmate."

As Masami Nakajima spoke, she gestured for Rumi at the door to come in. Rumi hesitated for a moment before slowly walking in.

"This classmate will be studying in our class from now on. Please introduce yourself."

Masami Nakajima looked at Rumi gently.

Rumi looked at Hachiman and Yukino, who were cheering her on from outside the door. She gritted her teeth.

"My name is Rumi Tsurumi. It's nice to meet you all."

Rumi wrote her name on the blackboard and then bowed to her classmates.

Seeing Rumi's perfect etiquette, Masami Nakajima nodded secretly. As expected of a child from a prominent family.

The moment Rumi finished her introduction, the classroom erupted.

"She's so pretty."

"Yeah, and her voice is nice too."

"But she seems a bit cold."

"Maybe she's just shy. She'll warm up once she gets used to us."

Hachiman listened to the praise for his daughter in class and genuinely smiled.

Heh, who do you think her father is?

Hachiman thought smugly.

"What's with that expression? You look happier than if you'd eaten honey," Yukino teased, looking at Hachiman's face.

"Aren't you happy your daughter is being praised?" Hachiman retorted.

Yukino pouted dismissively.

"How does it feel?"

Hachiman held Rumi in his arms and asked for her thoughts.

"Just so-so. A bunch of idiots," little Rumi said haughtily.

"Hahaha, alright, alright, you're the smartest," Hachiman said, happily flicking Rumi's little nose.

"But you know, when you're in a new environment, you have to get along with others. Even if you don't want to curry favor, you can't just give them the cold shoulder when they try to befriend you."

Hachiman lectured.

"Your mother and I went through so much trouble to get you transferred here."
