There are characters from various factions, including Hachiman Hikigaya, the five members of K-On!, and the Karasuma siblings.

The content is largely the same, and all relate to the evaluation results.

"Zong-kun, breakfast is ready!"

"coming."

Upon entering the living room, Masamune noticed his young daughter's mother staring at him with a strange look and couldn't help but ask:

"what happened?"

"As expected, Zong-jun should lock the bedroom door tonight."

"why?"

“Once Mashiro’s parents arrive and find out that you two have been sleeping together these past few days, something terrible will happen! They might get very angry and take Mashiro away, and Mom will definitely cry.”

"Well……"

At that moment, Masamune suddenly felt a stomachache.

I hadn't thought about this before, but now that I think about it, it's true.

Chapter 95 Taking advantage of his adolescent delusions, bullying him relentlessly.

Shortly after breakfast, Masamune suddenly received a call from Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Hayase, do you have time now?"

Yes, tell me.

"First of all, thank you. Although there are many things to complain about regarding the reward, it is really useful when writing."

? ?

Masamune paused for a moment, then asked in surprise:

"What was your reward? Last night I was only focused on my and Mashiro's rewards and didn't pay attention to the others."

"Why don't you pay attention to the other people too?"

Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but mutter a complaint, sighing:

"Alright, I'll explain from the beginning."

"My reward is Level 3 Loneliness, which means that I can do everything more efficiently when I'm alone."

"Last night, I tried for a long time, and my efficiency improved greatly not only in writing, but also in cleaning and doing my winter vacation homework."

"The most obvious thing is that I used to be able to type a maximum of 93 words per minute on the software, but now I can type 125 words per minute."

"This is less than half, isn't it?" Masamune couldn't help but laugh. "If I do the math, the efficiency has increased by more than a third."

"It's already incredibly impressive. More importantly, it's practically a superpower. If it weren't for the many other anime receiving awards around the same time, I'd be worried about being sliced ​​up."

At this point, Hachiman Hikigaya changed the subject and said:

"Of course, everyone is busy, and what I just said is not the main reason I called you."

"The important thing is that I have finally finished writing the first volume of the chuunibyou novel."

"I sent the text to your email last night. I've revised it several times, and in my opinion, there aren't any major problems. Could you please refine and correct it a bit more?"

“No problem, I’ll finish reading it as soon as possible.” Masamune smiled. “Don’t forget the light novel version of Oregairu either.”

"Definitely, this is my true home."

Hachiman Hikigaya finished speaking without hesitation, then added:

"I definitely can't use my own name as the pen name for the novel 'Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions,' otherwise there's no point in changing the paperback publisher."

“I talked to Togashi last night, and he was very envious of the skill I acquired, Loneliness, believing it to be the highest blessing from the abyss.”

"So, I struck while the iron was hot and asked him if I could buy his name and use it as my pen name."

“He has already agreed, and I am on my way to the Togashi family now. I will be able to buy his name soon.”

"The signing fee for Togashi is 500,000 yen. Can you reimburse that amount?"

Masamune was speechless. Was this the real purpose of the call?

However, using "Togashi Yuta" as a pen name is completely taking advantage of the other party's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) and thinking that he can be easily manipulated by saying some cool things.

Seriously, you've gone too far. Aren't you afraid that Togashi will come after you after graduating from chuunibyou and come after you?

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you directly. Please check your inbox."

"By the way, send me a copy of the signed contract so I can deal with Yuta Togashi's rampage in the future."

“No problem.” Hachiman Hikigaya replied without hesitation.

The reason for having the other party reimburse the expenses was to share the risk and prevent Togashi from causing trouble for only him in the future.

The reason for using Togashi Yuta as a pen name is twofold: firstly, as a gimmick to increase the popularity of light novels; and secondly, because he can't be the only one being persecuted.

……

Shortly after lunch, Masamune and Mashiro successfully picked up her parents outside the airport.

Beside the middle-aged man she had met once before, there was a slender woman wearing sunglasses and with long, flowing blonde hair. She was relatively tall for a woman, with a good figure and a face that bore a slight resemblance to Mashiro.

As the distance between them shortened, she suddenly hugged Mashiro excitedly, looking her up and down while asking her questions.

However, although her written English scores were excellent, Masamune was not very good at spoken conversation. She spoke so fast and unclearly that I couldn't understand a single word.

I only vaguely heard a few words, but I wasn't quite sure.

Soon, her gaze shifted to them, and she said something that seemed to be a greeting.

"??"

Noticing the question mark on Masamune's face, the woman smiled and said in Japanese:

“I’m introducing myself to you, Masamune-kun. I’ve often heard your name mentioned by Mashiro on the phone. I’m Mashiro’s mother, you can call me ‘Sai’.”

what?

Sai? Seren? Saiya? Or Celia?

After thinking for a while, Masamune still couldn't figure out how to translate the foreign name, so he decided to temporarily refer to her as Sai.

In everyday conversations, try to omit names.

"I am Hayase Masamune. I am a little curious about why Mashiro mentioned me, but you must be tired from your long journey. Let's go to the hotel first and talk in detail later."

"Sure. How old is Masamune-kun this year?"

"I'm graduating from high school this April, and I'll be 19 next week after my birthday."

“Mashiro just had her birthday. She’s exactly three years older than Mashiro. Hmm… in terms of age, they’re a perfect match.”

Once outside the car and after Mashiro sat down in the passenger seat, Sai suddenly wrapped her arms around Masamune's neck and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Have you done it?"

Because it was spoken in Japanese, Masamune was somewhat embarrassed, but he really couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it.

"No."

Do you hate Mashiro?

No, I like it very much.

"Aren't you dating yet?"

“She’s still young, only 16 years old. I plan to wait another year or two. Besides, I’m not ready to take on the responsibility for her entire future right now.”

"The legal marriage age here seems to be 16."

"Since the marriage age for women is 18 in the vast majority of countries in the world, there must be a reason for it."

"So this is what Masamune-kun's personality is like. He's quite different from the one in the anime."

Do you watch Musashino anime in the UK?

"Hmm... because K-On! is super amazing, and there are a lot of famous memes about it online. Also, I'm really curious about who exactly kidnapped my daughter."

"It seems that K-On!"'s overseas sales can still see another boost."

Sai glanced at Mashiro in the car, leaned close to Masamune's ear, and whispered teasingly:

"By the way, do you really like Mashiro? When you like someone, shouldn't you be thinking about how to have her completely?"

"It's precisely because I like it that I want to cherish it even more," Masamune said softly.

At this moment, Sai suddenly fell silent.

After getting in the car, she turned and chatted with Mashiro with a smile.

This time, both of them used Japanese.

"Mashiro, after you returned to Japan, did you continue painting oil paintings besides manga?"

"Yes, it's being painted."

"How are your studies? Have you been attending school diligently?"

"I went to school."

After this question-and-answer session lasted for five or six minutes, while waiting at a traffic light, Masamune couldn't help but interject:

"Didn't Mashiro tell you this on the phone before? All the paintings she's collected are kept in her studio."

"The studio contains some very important paintings, while the less important ones have been given to Kawafuji to participate in competitions or sell directly."

"By the way, Kawafuji is a high school classmate of mine. He took over the family's calligraphy and painting business, and he has a good eye and connections in this field."

Does Mashiro still have an art studio?

Although Sai had heard from the beginning that the Hayase family was very wealthy and that the K-On! anime had obviously made a lot of money, she was still somewhat surprised that they would set aside a studio for her.

Moreover, they even contacted art dealers.

"How's Mashiro's drawing? Has it improved?"

"Yes. Many professors at the Tokyo University of the Arts have praised her highly, believing that she is progressing very quickly and may be able to realize her national treasure-level talent before graduation."
