Hikigaya wants to be a novelist

Chapter 23: Chapter 22 Hikigaya Hachiman teaches you to recognize reality



" You don't look like the other  gentlemen who are tired of dealing with this occasion. Do you like it here? "

Yukinoshita Yukino also noticed the carefree look in Hikigaya Hachiman's expression , which was completely out of tune with the other children from other families present, including herself.

Yukino had just had an argument with her mother and ran here to hide. She knew that the consequences of her actions were very serious. This was the biggest gathering of the big families in Chiba Prefecture, and she had a more acute conflict with her mother than ever before. If others saw it, even a few gossips at the banquet would affect the reputation of the Yukinoshita family. But she didn't think she was wrong.

" Like ? How could that be? I'm not good at dealing with this kind of situation, but fortunately I don't need to socialize. No one knows me, and I don't know them. "

As Hikigaya spoke, he was thinking about how to get out of here. The girl in front of him, Yukinoshita Yukino, was staring at him closely.

" That 's great. I hope so, but my mother just wants to sell me as a commodity as soon as possible. She also said , "' This is the only way I can contribute to the family .' Ha, it's really ironic. Is this my value? "

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't care about her family's reputation, so she told the boy she had just met all the little things about herself and her mother without any burden. In fact, she didn't care who the other person was, she just wanted to find an outsider to talk to.

" I'm sorry. By the way, I said so many meaningless things. Just pretend you didn't hear them. Of course, it's okay if you want to tell others about them. I don't care. "

After pouring out her grievances, Yukino seemed to have regained some of her sanity. She left these words and stood up to leave.

" You know what I want to say , Ms. Yukinoshita? "

Hikigaya , who was originally planning to get away , suddenly decided not to leave and called out to Yukino, who looked at him in confusion.

" I can simply attribute what you said to you being a rebel against your family, but you know it's futile, don't you? You may not care about the reputation of the Yukinoshita family, but your mother must care a lot about it. How many times do you think she can indulge you, like today? "

Hikigaya thought that the situation of Miss Yukinoshita was not optimistic, and as a writer that both sisters liked, he should say something.

" Don't answer me in a hurry. Let me continue. Let me guess what kind of resistance you can carry out. Maybe study abroad? Or move out of the house? But this is not called resistance at all. This is called escape, because these things can only be done with the permission of your mother. You are still firmly controlled by her. "

" What do you want to say ? "

Yukino was a little annoyed because what the boy said was absolutely right. Now it seems that her choice to study abroad during her junior high school years did not reduce the family's control over her in the slightest.

" Since you didn't refute me, I think what I said is right. After what happened today, your mother will severely reprimand you, and she will also take care of your feelings. She will definitely not force you to get to know the young masters of other families in the short term. But this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, because the later this matter is carried out, the shorter the time you and the other party can get to know each other. Isn't it? "

Hikigaya Hachiman took a sip of juice and continued.

" I don't think your family will allow you to finish this before you graduate from college, so if you keep resisting in this passive way, you will be forced to get married in the end. The other party will be some young man you have never met, and he will probably be much older than you, because at that stage, men of your class will rarely be unmarried. Is this what you want to see, Ms. Yukinoshita? "

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yukinoshita who was becoming more and more angry and smiled.

" You told me all this, are you trying to tell me to just accept my fate? I don't know where you are from, but it's obvious that your family is much more open-minded than mine. What you said to me today was just the pity of a carefree rich young master. "

Yukinoshita Yukino was very sad and angry . Why could the person in front of her describe her future ten years later so casually, and she thought it was so correct, which made her even more uneasy.

" I am indeed carefree, but I don't pity you, Ms. Yukinoshita. I don't need to pity a lady like you who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Sports like horse riding are difficult for ordinary people to experience once in their lifetime, but for you, it is so frequent that it can leave marks on your hands, isn't it? "

Yukinoshita looked at her hands. She had not noticed that holding the reins for a long time had left a mark on her hands. Riding a horse was an activity she would do every weekend in the United States. She used a club pass given to her by her father. She did not know the price of the card, but she knew that almost all the members of the entire club were from wealthy families.

" So, Ms. Yukinoshita, while you are still enjoying horse riding, skiing, golf, tennis and other hobbies that ordinary people cannot reach, you should at least think about whether your current resistance is completely reasonable. "

The beautiful eyebrows of Yukinoshita Yukino drooped gradually. She had tried each of these hobbies and enjoyed them. She never had to wait in line for a court when she wanted to play tennis. When she went to play golf, three people would pick up the balls for her. She could get guidance from former champion riders in the horse riding club.

" So this is what my sister was talking about the other day, ' the right to choose ' ? "

Yukinoshita Yukino remembered the scolding that Haruno gave her that day, but she didn't think about it too much because of the other party's bad attitude.

" It's true that people always take what they have for granted, but pay special attention to things that make them unhappy, but you are a little too obsessed with it, Ms. Yukinoshita. "

Hikigaya finished his teaching. He hoped that the other party would really listen. It was New Year's Day, so why should he have such an unpleasant argument with his mother?

" I've learned a lot, Hikigaya-san. You should be a junior high school student, right? I'll call you classmate. But if I still want to change my fate, do you have any good ideas? "

Yukinoshita Yukino has completely returned to normal. Although she still refuses to accept her fate, she has figured out a lot of things.

" Change your destiny? This topic is a bit broad. In your current situation, if you want to escape from the control of your family, it will be too difficult. You need to make achievements that are recognized by your family when you are very young, and this achievement cannot be based on the help of your family, otherwise it will be no different from riding a horse. But if you just don't want to be arranged to marry and can continue to live in the family, it will be much simpler. You just need to find a partner who is recognized by the family, and then let this partner marry into your family. Then your mother will shift the focus of training directly to him, and you will naturally be liberated. There are too many such things. "

" Find a partner who is acceptable to the family and let him marry into the family ... "

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be thinking about something.
