Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

?

Since it was a group activity, everyone first gathered at the agreed station and then walked there together.

After successfully meeting up with Yukino and Yui, the three of them headed all the way to Hikigaya's house.

Unlike him who lived in a residential complex, Hikigaya's home was a small two-story building, which was considered a single-family building in Neon. From this point alone, Su Qing could infer that the other party's family background was not bad.

At least they can be considered middle class.

After ringing the doorbell, the owner's voice was soon heard from inside the house.

It was a female voice that was still childish, with a hint of urgency, "Here I come, please wait a moment."

Not long after, the door opened with a "click".

Then, a petite girl with eyes identical to those of Hikigaya Hachiman came into view.

After guessing everyone's identity, she smiled, revealing a pair of little fangs, which was very cute.

"Are you your brother's friends? Nice to meet you. I'm Hikigaya Komachi, his sister."

"Hey...you guys are here."

Hachiman also came behind Komachi and greeted Su Qing and the others.

"Sorry for bothering you."

Xueno nodded slightly.

Because the weather was getting colder, Komachi didn't let everyone wait outside for long. She quickly invited everyone into the house and sat on the floor around the fireplace in the living room.

"Hachiman, is everyone here?"

Just then, another female voice was heard from the kitchen. She was very young and obviously not the mother of the Hikigaya siblings.

"Now that we're all here, it's the first time so many people have come to my house, and it feels really weird."

Hachiman scratched his ear, looking a little embarrassed.

"Stupid brother, stop saying those stupid things. Hurry up and serve tea to the guests, or go to the kitchen to help Sister Ayaka. Anyway, don't stand there like an idiot!"

Komachi seemed very dissatisfied with her brother's behavior and gave the order with her hands on her hips.

"learn……"

"I'm fine... I just happened to have finished my work. You guys always take care of me, so today I wanted to come here in advance to repay you."

Ayaka came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face to help Hachiman out, holding a plate of snacks and tea in her hands.

Seeing this, Hachiman immediately walked up to take it, "Let me help you get it..."

"Well, thank you."

Ayaka smiled at Hachiman, who immediately blushed.

"Don't squeeze me..."

In front of the kotatsu, Yukino was attacked by a ball of slime and whispered to Yui.

The kotatsu is not big, with four seats only enough for one person to sit, but it is still possible for two girls to squeeze in.

Besides, it's almost winter now, so it'll be warmer if we huddle together.

Therefore, the current seating arrangement is: Yukino and Yui, Ayaka and Komachi, while Su Qing and Hachiman, who are boys, sit by themselves.

"That won't happen, will it?"

Yui asked after adjusting her position.

"I'm sorry... the kotatsu at home is a little small."

Komachi noticed this and said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay. Xiaoxue and I are used to this!"

Yui replied subconsciously, but unexpectedly found the situation a bit awkward.

"What are you talking about..."

Yukino held her forehead with her hand and looked at Yui helplessly.

Although there seems to be nothing wrong with this, why does it give people a "weird" feeling when said in this situation?

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand you two. Your relationship is really good!"

Komachi didn't quite understand the details of the situation, but she still tried to smooth it over for him.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Yukinoshita Yukino, the club's president."

Because she came in so hastily, Komachi actually didn't know who was who.

"Su Qing, your brother's friend."

Su Qing said concisely.

“I’m Yuigahama Yui… Ado Ado, one of the members of the club?

Oh, by the way, except for Xiaoxue, we are in the same class."

Yui thought for a long time and didn't know how to position herself, so she just introduced the class.

Because Caijia arrived early, she did not repeat the introduction.

After the self-introduction, it was time for snacks and small talk.

Komachi explained the purpose of the invitation.

She said with tears in her eyes:

“Wow, I never thought that a stupid guy like me would make such great progress and make so many friends in my sophomore year.

As for me, Komachi, I was so excited that I couldn't help but ask him to invite you all.

He is really grateful for your care, thank you very much! "

"Pfft, stupid bro."

Su Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"Please don't make me sound so pitiful..."

Hachiman tried to fight for a say, but Komachi's death stare made him shrink back.

Seeing that her lonely brother had calmed down, Komachi nodded in satisfaction.

"Komachi was telling the truth, so your rebuttal to me makes her score very low! But you cut your losses in time, so I can get some points back."

After saying that, Komachi smiled again, showing her pair of little fangs.

"You two siblings have a very good relationship."

Su Qing's eyes revealed memories as he sighed.

"Huh? A normal person would probably feel bad seeing us fighting each other like this, right?"

Komachi looked over and asked curiously.

Although this is a common way for siblings to get along, it may not be the case to outsiders.

“That’s what happens to people who are close to each other.”

Su Qing took a sip of tea and didn't say much.

[That being said, I think it’s more like one-sided bullying than fighting back]

Hachiman complained in his heart, and then asked with concern: "By the way, do you have a sister too?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Hey, I want to ask that too, because Xiaoqing gives people the feeling that he is very caring, right? He feels like a brother."

Yui also echoed.

"Indeed...sometimes I feel like he's a bit like my sister."

Xueno frowned slightly. In fact, she felt that Su Qing was more like a father, of course, she meant that kind of reliable sense of déjà vu.

But it's so strange, and just as Yui said, he really looks like his brother.

But that’s not right. Su Qing is an abandoned child, so where does his sister come from?

"I don't have any brothers or sisters. I used to help others take care of their younger brothers and sisters. Maybe this is the reason."

What Su Qing said was still conservative.

Not to mention direct relatives, even collateral relatives cannot be found.

But he would not talk about his background in such occasions.

The reason why I felt so emotional just now was that I remembered that when I was in the orphanage, some little girls kept clamoring to marry him in the future.

But later they were all adopted one after another, and Su Qing never saw them again until the dean passed away.

"So that's it..."

Yui nodded thoughtfully, but her hand uncontrollably reached for the source of the fragrance that filled the air.

"Mmm - delicious, Xiaocai!"

After taking a bite of the snack, Yui covered her mouth and said in surprise.

"Phew, that's good. There's still plenty left. You can eat without worry."

Ayaka smiled.

With Yui's positive review, several people couldn't suppress their curiosity and tried the food one after another. Naturally, the result was unanimous praise.

"Aika-sister is really amazing."

Komachi was originally worried that her brother had been deceived by a bad woman.

After all, think about it, a person who doesn’t socialize normally has you as his only friend.

But one day, I suddenly got a pure and lovely girlfriend. It doesn’t seem right no matter how I think about it!

"Oh...of course."

It was Hachiman who spoke.

"Stupid brother, I'm not praising you!"

Komachi said as she stared at Hachiman with a confused look on her face.

Seeing the two of them getting along so harmoniously, the other three women couldn't help but laugh.

[What a harmonious relationship...]

Yukino suddenly thought of her sister. Since the last time she said she wanted to live with her, they haven't had any contact since.

After all, Yang Nai is the heir and is responsible for a lot of family business, so it is normal for her to be busy.

Yukino told herself this in her heart.

At the same time, a gray and white kitten just poked its head out from the living room. It seemed that it noticed that there were several uninvited guests in the house today, so it seemed a little shy.

"Kamakula, you're awake now. Don't be afraid. Come here and I'll hold you to keep you warm."

When Hachiman saw his silly cat waking up, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, so he made a gesture as if to hug him.

"Meow~"

Kamakura called out lazily, as if responding to Hachiman.

Then she walked over with light cat steps.

Yukino suppressed her inner excitement and felt as if her heart was about to melt.

Then, Kamakura passed Yukino and Yui and soon came in front of Hachiman.

Just when he was full of joy and wanted to hug it, Kamakula seemed not to see him and walked towards Su Qing.

Finally, he jumped lightly and lay on Su Qing's thigh. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very comfortable.

Yukino: Oh no, I forgot there's a succubus among us.

Hachiman: May I ask?
