Marrying into the Family and Living off Your Wife Really Is Pretty Nice. / Sakayanagi Arisu Would Obviously Get Jealous.

After hearing Koenji Morito's sudden explanation, Hashiba Hikaru was immediately filled with question marks.

"You want me to become the son-in-law of the Kujo Family? Why?"

"It's probably because Hashiba- kun is too capable. Although you haven't officially entered our circle yet, your name is already known to many people."

Koenji Morito; he was simply stating the facts.

From Higashiyama Majo to Sakayanagi Narimori, and the various situations involving the Kujo Family and Koenji Family, the name Hashiba Hikaru suddenly appeared in the circles of high-ranking zaibatsu, attracting a lot of attention.

"... Shouldn't I be able to refuse something like this?"

Hashiba Hikaru realized the other person wasn't joking, so she said seriously, "I have no interest in becoming a son-in-law of a zaibatsu family. Mr. Koenji, could you help me decline?"

"That won't do, Hashiba- kun. We haven't completely broken ties with the Kujo Family yet; they are still a behemoth."

Koenji Morito explained earnestly.

"Although I roughly know why Hashiba- kun disagrees, you still need to tell the Head of the Kujo Family yourself, since he's an old man who won't give up until he gets what he wants."

"He wants to meet me?"

Hashiba Hikaru understood what the other party meant, and her expression changed slightly.

"That's right, don't forget, the Kujo Family also holds a place on the School Board of Tokyo Advanced Educational High School."

Koenji Morito smiled. "He'll probably choose to come to the school to see you in person."

"..."

To be honest, this is a problem that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The Kujo Family is, after all, a noble family with a history of hundreds of years, and also one of the major shareholders of the school's School Board. If I don't go to see him, it would be too disrespectful, and it might even affect Sakayanagi Narimori's side.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous. The Head of the Kujo Family has offered me a lot of concessions. I believe that Hashiba- kun will make the most appropriate decision. After all, you are a very thoughtful young man."

Koenji Morito planned to test Hashiba Hikaru's heart at this time. If she was really tempted by the Kujo Family's sweet talk, there was nothing that could be done, since the Koenji Family couldn't really keep her at the moment.

"Concession?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow. In his impression, the conditions for chaebols to find sons-in-law were very harsh. After marrying into the family, not only did they have to change their names, but they also had to lose a considerable amount of their personal autonomy.

As a reborn individual, the boy absolutely could not accept such a thing.

"Besides the head of the Kujo Family, there are only two young girls left in this generation of the main Head of the Kujo Family; they are the Head of the Kujo Family's granddaughters."

"Then what?"

"What the Head of the Kujo Family means is... as long as Hashiba is willing to marry into the family, both of these little girls can marry you."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Hashiba Hikaru's expression became even more bewildered.

What's going on?

Isn't it said that the sons-in-law of wealthy families face a difficult situation? Not only do they suffer from suppression by the powerful wives' families, but they also have no personal space of their own.

What is it like now that allows me to enjoy the blessings of having two wives?

"Hehe, no need to be so confused, Hashiba- kun."

Koenji Morito, sensing Hashiba Hikaru's confusion, explained directly, "The Kujo Family didn't rise to power through the business world; they're a Court Noble Clan that has been passed down through generations. Their definition of a son-in-law who marries into the family is completely different."

"How so?"

Hashiba Hikaru wasn't interested in the suggestion, but she was genuinely curious.

"In the process of passing down their lineage through generations, Court Noble Clan would, in order to ensure the continuation of their family line, seek out outstanding men in society to serve as prospective sons-in-law if the family had only daughters. The selection process usually began very early, generally starting in their teens."

"Although he is nominally a son-in-law, he is practically an adopted son. He not only possesses power but can also rightfully become the de facto manager of the Kujo Family."

This statement basically summarizes the "special" position of a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family.

Koenji Morito continued, "If Hashiba- kun marries into the family, you will become the heir to the head of the family, and you will have a child with a woman from the Kujo Family's generation who will carry the Kujo bloodline. That child will also become the next head of the family."

"Besides changing my surname, it's like giving you the entire family fortune."

This temptation is one that few people could resist.

Koenji Morito listened to the voice on the phone, wanting to know Hashiba Hikaru's true reaction.

"Oh, is that so?"

The boy was hearing about this for the first time and was very surprised.

If that's the case, then marrying into a family is not a disgrace, but rather the fastest shortcut to success.

After all, it's very difficult for ordinary people to enter the circles of the powerful and wealthy, but if they successfully marry into a prestigious family, they can not only take over everything naturally, but also achieve a meteoric rise to power.

But...

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at her System Panel and suddenly smiled.

"Although it sounds good, I still think marrying into a family is boring."

Hashiba Hikaru always plans before doing anything. He has a deep understanding of his future and would never accept marrying into another family.

Even if I'm going to be a kept man, I should be a kept man from my girlfriends, not from a chaebol family.

"Haha, it seems that Hashiba- kun's ideas are indeed different from ordinary people. I am truly impressed by you. In that case, I will stop my explanation here."

Koenji Morito was very satisfied with Hashiba Hikaru's answer and laughed heartily.

"The Head of the Kujo Family will probably contact you before the end of the month, and he might even bring his two granddaughters with him. I hope your answer will be the same then Hashiba- kun."

"Good."

Goodnight, Hashiba- kun.

After hanging up the phone, Hashiba Hikaru stared blankly at her phone.

This is probably the butterfly effect caused by a series of chain reactions. The fact that the Kujo Family had such thoughts only made him feel troubled.

Through Koenji Morito's explanation, it becomes clear that the Kujo Family only has daughters in this generation, which is why they chose a representative to maintain the family's prosperity.

However, after Ayanokoji Atsuomi was completely kicked out, the Kujo Family had another idea.

Taking a son-in-law as a son-in-law.

It's possible that my high level of involvement in various matters attracted the other party's attention.

"The prospect of marrying into another family is appealing, but I don't want to change my surname."

Hashiba Hikaru wasn't actually that eager for power and status. Besides, now that he had the system, he could easily do things that ordinary people couldn't do even if they tried their whole lives, so it was even less likely that he would consider marrying into the family.

The problem is... how should I refuse the Kujo Family?

After all, the Kujo Family is one of the core members of the school School Board, and if a conflict breaks out, the situation will definitely become very ugly.

"This is such a hassle."

Hashiba Hikaru touched her hair and let out a long sigh.

Chapter 815 Of course, Sakayanagi Arisu would be jealous.

On Monday morning, Hashiba Hikaru finished her morning exercise and then quickly took a shower.

After he finished getting ready, he prepared to leave for class. As he walked out of the dormitory, he encountered Sakayanagi Arisu had been waiting for him by the roadside.

Good morning, Classmate Hashiba.

"Good morning."

Although they are a very close couple in private, they cannot act too affectionate on the surface, since it is rush hour for students going to school and many students will pass by.

What time is the Kujo Family's press conference?

Hashiba Hikaru and Sakayanagi Arisu walked side by side, asking about this extremely important matter.

"At 10:30 AM, there probably won't be many announcements, except for Ayanokoji Atsuomi, who's the real focus."

The silver-haired girl walked lightly and explained slowly.

"It's a pity I can't go and see it in person."

Hashiba Hikaru stroked her chin, her tone slightly teasing.

According to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, his father was an arrogant man, and now that he has been kicked out of the inner circle in a way that is "announced to the world," he might break down.

"There will be a live news broadcast. A reporter from the Sakayanagi Family will be on-site. Would you like to see firsthand reports Classmate Hashiba?"

Sakayanagi Arisu then suggested a good approach.

"Then there's no need for that. I'm more looking forward to the final result."

Hashiba Hikaru thought for a moment, "What Ayanokoji mentioned last time is still quite important. Besides making Ayanokoji Atsuomi lose hope in the election, we also need to deal with his [White Room]."

"This matter may have to wait until after the election, at which time Classmate Hashiba can talk directly with the Koenji Family."

When this matter was mentioned, Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly turned her head and glanced at the boy.

I recently heard something.

"What's up?"

As he entered the teaching building, Hashiba Hikaru looked at the silver-haired girl standing beside him with a hint of doubt. The girl was examining his face closely as if appraising an auction item, her expression quite strange.

"I heard a rumor about the Kujo Family."

"The Kujo Family?"

Hashiba Hikaru frowned immediately, because he instantly guessed what the other person was going to say.

"I heard that the Head of the Kujo Family plans to find a son-in-law who will live with him, and the word has already spread in the family. He probably wants a grandson as his heir."

"This kind of thing must be quite common, after all, I heard that the Kujo Family only has daughters in this generation."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't respond, replying in a flat tone.

"But I've heard something else too."

Sakayanagi Arisu's gaze swept across Hashiba Hikaru's face, as if searching for some flaw.

"What?"

"I heard that the old man of the Kujo Family has gone all out this time, planning to marry both of his granddaughters to this man. This is something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years. The blessing of having multiple wives is truly something to envy."

Sakayanagi Arisu spoke in a deliberately affected tone, as if even she, a woman, was captivated.

"That certainly takes guts, but I'm curious, will the two daughters of the Kujo Family really agree to such an absurd request?"

Hashiba Hikaru did indeed have doubts about this. How could a young lady from a prestigious family possibly accept the absurd arrangement of sisters marrying the same person?

"They will agree."

As someone from the upper class, Sakayanagi Arisu spoke with absolute certainty, "The Kujo Family is a noble family with a history of hundreds of years. Their daughters receive a very systematic traditional education from a young age and would never disobey the head of the family's orders."

"Traditional education? It sounds like it makes you lose yourself."

Hashiba Hikaru curled her lip, scoffing at such feudal dregs.

"Hehe, that's because Classmate Hashiba hasn't grasped the deeper meaning of the phrase 'traditional education' yet."

"Um?"

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly and explained softly, "For a young lady who has received a traditional education since childhood, there is a very important subject in her private family lessons."

"What content?"

"How to serve one's husband... is what is known as the bride's spiritual practice."

"..."

"Isn't it amazing how the two of you could both marry into that family? That would be the path to absolute happiness!"

Sakayanagi Arisu teased as she looked at Hashiba Hikaru's face, but found that the boy's expression remained calm.

"This is incredible! I wonder who this lucky person will be."
