Chapter 4

"I'm back!" I yelled.

I enter an old house which I stayed for more than two months.

"Welcome back Hachiman…" An old woman welcomes me. "…why did you go and exercise when this will be your last day here?"

"I think it became a habit of mine, Grandmother…" I smile at her. "…Besides, I at least want to enjoy the view here one last time"

"If you say so, Here take this…" She throws a small box at me. "…Maybe it's late but Belated Happy Birthday Hachiman"

Oh yeah, my birthday passed by when I'm training, maybe I forgot it due to my priority to survive this hell and Grandmother is in our house around that time.

"Thank you, Grandmother, can I open it?" I asked her.

"Of course!" She nods and observes my reaction.

I open the small box and a not so expensive and not so cheap bracelet enters my vision with '8man' written on it.

"A bracelet with my name on it…" I raise the bracelet as I look at the name.

I look at my grandmother and give her a smile. "…I'll treasure it with my life on the line"

It's been a while since I got something like this.

"I'm glad you like it…" A relief expression showed on her face.

"…and how about you?..." She looks at the old man lazily watching television while munching his breakfast. "…you should at least prepare some gift to our grandson, right?"

*cough**cough* He got choked, I repeat he got choked.

I walk and pass him some water.

"I … I" He said while signaling me to help him.

A smile plastered in my grandmother's face that gave me a chill. If I feel like this, how does the receiver feel then?

Oh well, might defuse the situation

"Grandma, Grandpa already gave me a gift…" She curiously looks at me.

I sigh and point at my grandfather. "…He already gave his time for 2 months of training me"

She doesn't look convinced.

Might as well follow up some other diffuser "…In the time of training, he always prepares some materials to use and he even used most of his time with me. You can see the outcome on me. Isn't his effort considered as a gift?" My grandpa looks at me thankfully.

"Alright…" She sighed "…Go eat and prepare the things you need."

"Okay" As I go sit beside my grandfather. I clasped my hands "Itadakimasu"

….

"Do you need something Grandma?" I'm currently putting my dirty clothes in a plastic

"It seems your grandfather's training is worth it…" I just smiled at her words. She picks up some of my appliances like my Vita-chan and put it in the front pocket of my backpack.

"So, what's the matter, Grandma?" Better ask her.

"I'm just here to have bonded with my cute grandson" I blushed.

That's embarrassing words you got there ya'know.

"Ehhmph…" I fake my cough. "…And?"

"To say Thank you!" She smiled.

"Your welcome." I already know what she is thanking.

She lightly chuckles on my words. "Aren't you clever?"

I just smile at her question.

"Our son, your father is like your grandfather a hard worker…" I stop packing my clothes and focus on listening in my Grandmother's story.

"…but they born in a different era…" She sighs and looks at the window.

"…We born in times of War, while your father born in the time was the War already ended, so their viewpoint is different…" I nod on her words.

My grandparents live where World War II happens.

"…Your grandfather is one of the people that focus on training rather than studying in our time…"

Is he a soldier?

"…he said to us, that he can't protect us with knowledge so you can see how twisted he is right now…" I immediately nod multiple times.

Grandfather is not twisted; he is both S and M. He gave me a taste of hell and asked me to at least give him an ache.

"…while your father believes that he had the responsibility to give his parents and family a good life, so he focuses more on studying which can be seen on what he achieved right now…" After saying those words, she looks at me.

"…So you can see that they both respect their decision but don't have the bonding as a father and son which is why I'm thankful that you at least gave your grandfather a feeling that he didn't felt before..." She then caresses my cheek.

"…but it seems my grandson is an intelligent one, and now you may not be as strong as your grandfather, but we can say that you are better than the other kids…" She smiles at me and gives me a questioning look.

"I wonder what my grandson wants."

I want to be a Househusband is something I can't say in this atmosphere, right?

"Let's just say that my goal is inclined with Grandpa and Dad." I didn't lie.

She nods at my statement. "Fufufu, It seems the Hikigaya-genes is running into you as well."

Yep, just remove the M, I don't mind the S but the M. It's NO!

…

…

"You didn't forget anything," Grandma asked.

I am currently in the station with my grandparents as they want to see me one more time before I depart.

I shake my head. "I didn't and you also helped me, so I ensure everything I need is here"

"Take care Grandma…" I hug her

"…and Grandpa." I saw the old man opening his arms wide.

Isn't it embarrassing when we both hug each other in a public place?

Grandma just nudges me to entertain the embarrassing act that my grandfather shows.

I hugged him reluctantly, but he gave me an overpowered hug. "Hahaha, I only trained you so don't say such thing as taking care, and focus on training…" He then removes his very painful hug and looks at me.

A burning eye can be seen in his eyes. "…Remember! We Hikigaya's don't have any limit so strive harder, the next time we meet I want a better result!"

Ehhh! I don't want to go to hell anymore.

I just nod which earned him a loud laugh. It's really embarrassing, and it seems grandma feels the same as she smacks his head to stop.

I wave my hand and they also did the same.

I turned around and head inside.

*Several hours passed*

"We have arrived at Chiba Station, please check your luggage before leaving the train"

I stand up and checks my luggage. "Backpack check, Ticket check."

"Have a nice day sir." A female attendant said to me while checking my ticket.

"Thanks," I said to her.

I'm out of the station and check the surroundings. It feels like forever when it is only 2 months.

"Chiba-chan, I'm back".
