Chapter 375: When Are You Planning to Get Married?

The sound of the door opening echoed, followed by the arrival of a slightly imposing woman.

"Kotonoha, Kokoro, I'm back."

Upon hearing the voice, the sisters hurriedly approached.

"Welcome back, Mom."

"Mom, you're finally back! Onii-chan has been here for a while already."

Hearing her youngest daughter's words, Kotonoha's mother, Manami Katsura, paused as she was changing her slippers.

"Oh, has Hikigaya-kun already arrived?"

"Yes, Mom, Hachiman-kun came earlier." Kotonoha nodded.

Upon hearing this, Manami nodded, finished changing her slippers, and led her two daughters into the living room.

As soon as Manami entered, Hachiman quickly stood up to greet her.

"Good afternoon, Auntie."

"Afternoon, Hikigaya-kun. I apologize for keeping you waiting." Manami nodded politely.

Since the last time at the Totsuki Resort, where Hachiman revealed he was dating Kotonoha, Manami had been eager to investigate him.

Through bits and pieces of information from her daughters, she learned that Hachiman was a light novel author, writing under the pen name "Wakamono." So, she conducted a thorough investigation into this pen name.

But what she found shocked her.

Through her investigation into the pen name "Wakamono," she stumbled upon the title of "King of Light Novels."

As a businesswoman, Manami understood the significance of such a title.

Further investigation revealed that Hachiman's two serialized novels had already exceeded ten million copies in sales, bringing unimaginable profits.

It seemed likely that Hachiman earned more in a year than her own company did.

Not only in the realm of light novels, but Hachiman's achievements in kendo also amazed Manami.

Because her daughter also practiced kendo, Manami usually had some understanding of kendo-related information.

If she wasn't mistaken, Hachiman was probably the talented youth who achieved the level of Sword Master at the competition a year ago.

And it didn't stop there. Because Manami's company dealt with ingredients, she also heard some rumors.

This Hachiman seemed to have established a partnership with the Totsuki Group, and their restaurant venture had become exceptionally popular in high society, with profits that made others envious.

No, it wasn't just about profits anymore.

Since Hachiman was chosen by the Totsuki Group as a partner, it proved that he had enough talent to attract such a top conglomerate.

Thinking about this, Manami felt both happy and worried.

She was naturally happy that her eldest daughter had such an outstanding boyfriend.

As for the worry, it was because Hachiman was simply too outstanding, to the point where she worried if Kotonoha could handle it.

As a mature woman, Manami deeply understood that the more outstanding a man was, the easier it was to attract the attention of women. Kotonoha's personality was something she, as a mother, knew very well. Kotonoha was too gentle, to put it bluntly, even a bit too weak.

The more outstanding a man was, the more likely it was for other girls to try to snatch him away. Manami deeply understood this.

Perhaps Hachiman was Kotonoha's boyfriend now, but what about in the future?

If one day, other girls appeared around Hachiman and tried to steal him away, what could her weak daughter do to resist?

So, the purpose of Manami inviting Hachiman over today was to test his attitude. If he didn't have the intention to stay with Kotonoha for a long time, then Manami would do everything in her power to break them up.

It's better to end it sooner rather than later. Rather than letting Kotonoha experience the pain of losing her beloved to another woman in the future, it's better to break them up now. Manami believed that her daughter would understand her intentions later.

With this in mind, Manami couldn't help but look at Hachiman not far away.

"Please, have a seat, Hikigaya-kun."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman nodded. "Please, have a seat as well, Auntie."

As both parties took their seats, Manami went straight to the point.

"The main reason for calling you here today, Hikigaya-kun, is to talk about the relationship between you and Kotonoha."

Unexpectedly direct, Hachiman raised an eyebrow.

"Please go ahead, Auntie."

"Today, I mainly want to ask you, Hikigaya-kun, whether you have any intention of being with Kotonoha in the long run." Manami's tone was serious.

Upon hearing her mother's words, Kotonoha's face lit up with hope.

Even her little sister, Kokoro, looked over, and not only that, she even pumped her fist in encouragement towards Hachiman.

"That's for sure. I'm serious about being with Kotonoha," Hachiman replied earnestly to the question.

Upon hearing Hachiman's almost confession-like words, Kotonoha's face showed a happy expression.

However, Manami wasn't easily fooled. As a strong woman, she had encountered many men.

In her youth, she had also received numerous suitors due to her beauty and figure, so she had heard too many sweet words from men.

Each one had claimed they would accompany her into marriage, but Manami knew deep down that these men were only after her beauty and body.

In her eyes, her eldest daughter had inherited her beauty and figure perfectly, but unfortunately, Kotonoha didn't have the same ability to see through men's true nature as she did.

Her gentle daughter was too easily deceived.

If she were to encounter a man skilled in manipulation, she might be deceived and even help count the money for the deceiver.

However, in her view, Hachiman might not be that kind of person, or at least, he wouldn't covet their family's wealth. After all, with Hachiman's current earning ability, he wouldn't even care about their family's property.

Even so, Manami still felt worried.

Because even if one doesn't pursue wealth, they may pursue beauty.

Just based on the beauty and figure of her eldest daughter alone, it's enough to attract men.

Moreover, from her observations, Kotonoha probably has already done "that" with Hachiman. What she fears is that Hachiman might be the type of person who denies it afterward.

So, for the sake of her daughter's future happiness, Manami decided to ask clearly.

"Now that Hikigaya-kun said he wants to marry Kotonoha, I'd like to hear about your plans."

"Plans? Auntie, what do you mean?" Hachiman asked.

At this moment, Manami was sitting on the sofa, her two voluptuous legs clad in flesh-colored stockings crossed together. Because she was wearing a low-cut dress, her ample bosom squeezed out a deep cleavage.

"You've said you want to marry Kotonoha in the future, so as Kotonoha's mother, I naturally want to hear about your future plans."

"For example, when do you intend to marry Kotonoha?"

Capítulo 376: [376] Hachiman's Ambition

Chapter 376: Hachiman's Ambition

"When do you plan to marry Kotonoha?"

Surprised by Manami's direct question about marriage, Kotonoha blushed.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Marriage is still too early for us."

Though shy, Kotonoha couldn't help but feel a hint of excitement. After all, as a girl, she did dream about marriage.

Ignoring her daughter's reaction, Manami continued to gaze earnestly at Hachiman sitting across from her.

Without hesitation, Hachiman shared his thoughts on the matter.

"While I do intend to marry Kotonoha, it's still too early for us. We're only high school students, after all. My plan is to get married after graduating from college. Plus, Auntie, I'm sure you wouldn't want Kotonoha to marry so soon either."

Though the government in Japan didn't oppose high school students marrying due to population decline, it was rare for couples to marry right after high school.

Graduating from high school was just the beginning. Even if they didn't plan to pursue further education and were ready to start working, how could two young individuals afford to support a household?

Basic necessities cost money, and even though they seemed trivial, they added up to a significant expense. Plus, accidents happened, especially among young couples. If they had children, it would only complicate matters further.

Despite Hachiman's financial success, he wasn't ready for marriage yet. And it wasn't just him— the girls felt the same way.

Sure, Hachiman was successful, but the girls didn't want to be mere accessories. If they married right after high school, wouldn't they just be relying on Hachiman for support? Some prideful girls didn't want that. They wanted to achieve something on their own, rather than be kept at home like pet canaries.

However, those are stories for another time.

...

Upon hearing Hachiman's words, Manami nodded.

In her mind, she had no intention of letting Kotonoha marry right after high school.

"As you said, getting married right after high school is indeed too early. It's good that you have such thoughts."

Looking at Hachiman's serious expression, Manami understood that he did indeed have the intention of marrying her daughter, at least for now.

As for the future, it would depend on whether her daughter could handle it.

Turning to look at Kotonoha, who was currently wearing a happy smile, Manami sighed inwardly.

"Furthermore, I'd like to hear about your plans for your future career, Hikigaya-kun. I know you've already achieved tremendous success in the light novel field, but do you plan to continue developing in this area?"

In response to this question, Hachiman smiled and spoke, "Rest assured, Auntie, I won't stay in the light novel field forever. Ultimately, light novels are just a hobby for me. Recently, I made an investment."

"An investment?"

Hearing this, Manami was somewhat surprised because she hadn't heard about this before. Moreover, investments were no trivial matter; one wrong step could lead to massive losses.

While Manami was surprised, Hachiman simply nodded faintly.

"Yes, recently I and the Totsuki Group each invested $150 million, totaling $300 million, in the American company Facebook."

$300 million...

Hearing this figure, Manami couldn't help but choke. While she managed a medium-sized food ingredient company, its annual profit was barely reaching a billion yen, which was less than $100 million when converted to dollars.

Although this $300 million investment also involved funds from the Totsuki Group, the amount contributed by Hachiman alone exceeded the annual profit of her entire company.

Before she could fully recover from her astonishment, Hachiman continued speaking.

"In addition, I've also ventured into the culinary industry. I collaborated with the Totsuki Group to open a restaurant, which I believe you've heard of, Auntie."

Upon hearing this, Manami nodded.

She was aware of the restaurant opened by Hachiman in collaboration with the Totsuki Group. Although it had only been open for a short time, it was highly favored by the upper class, and the prices of the dishes inside even surprised her.

"Not only that, but I also plan to enter the gaming industry in the future," Hachiman continued.

"Auntie, as you know, I've had some success in the light novel field, so I intend to adapt my novels into games."

After all, when talking about Japan, one couldn't ignore its unique ACG culture, which stood for Anime, Comics, and Games.

He had already ventured into anime and manga with his novels, so how could he overlook the gaming industry?

This idea had been on Hachiman's mind for a long time, after all, he was a transmigrator, and before his transmigrated, the gaming industry was one of the most profitable.

Moreover, he didn't aim for PC gaming but rather mobile gaming.

Nowadays, smartphones had become widespread, but there weren't many people exploring the mobile gaming market.

This was an untapped goldmine.

Hachiman had also done some research and found that some big IPs had yet to appear, such as the famous Type-Moon.

Even in his previous life, Type-Moon was a long-lasting big IP, and the mobile game "Fate/Grand Order" derived from it often dominated the top of the spending charts.

So Hachiman had already decided that the next novel series he would write would be the Type-Moon series.

As long as he firmly held onto the Type-Moon IP, then the game FGO would be within his grasp.

However, the development of mobile games still needed careful consideration. First of all, he needed to write several installments of the Type-Moon series.

"Kara no Kyoukai," "Tsukihime," "Fate/Zero," "Fate/stay night"...

So far, his "Sword Art Online" series sales were approaching twenty million, and "That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime" had nearly fifteen million in sales.

But "Sword Art Online" could still be stretched for some time, while "That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime" was about to face its conclusion.

Hachiman decided to speed up the conclusion of "That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime" in the near future and then start the serialization of the Type-Moon series.

Who knew if some unexpected event would disrupt his plans one day, so he wanted to act early.

However, Manami was taken aback by Hachiman's words.

She didn't expect Hachiman's ambitions to be so grand, actually planning to diversify.

Light novels, anime, cuisine, games...

If he could really succeed, then in less than ten years, he could build a huge business empire.

Looking at the determined Hachiman, Manami became even more worried.

Could Kotonoha really hold onto such a man?
