…
"Grandpa, you know that this sort of training can kill your grandson right?" I point out the not so safe training equipment he had prepared.
"Haha, no need to worry, I assure you these types of equipment are useful and very safe." He waved his hand in a dismissive manner.
Hm, I wonder how can he say that while having a genuine smile on his face.
"Weren't you the one who asked me to train you?" He cockily asks and continues to talk;
"And here I thought you had finally grown some balls, but don't worry since you asked, I won't stop until I made a man out of you just yet." He sharply nods before promptly running towards me, indicating that training had started.
"Ouch!" I wonder what hit my head when I asked him that.
...
*Flashback*
Service Club
While I was reading my new light novel. I heard three women talking, Yep not two but three. Isshiki did butt in again, why does this fox always keep coming here, does being a president really gave her a lot of time? or is she forcing her members to do the work? Is this what they call; Power? Wow, I didn't know that she really abused her power that much. Oh wait, why am I monologuing again?
Oh right, I'm listening to their conversation.
"Nee, Yukinon! Summer vacation is right around the corner, We will not see in each other for some time, I will really gonna miss you! I know." The bubbly head said while hugging the Ice bitch!
Which forces Yukinoshita to back away and create some distance from her while mumbling; "Too close."
"Indeed, summer will begin but that doesn't mean we can slack off in our own studies." Too strict Ice Queen, Too Strict!
"Hehehe, but we should at least enjoy it and study later." WOW, a big word coming from the bubbly head.
"Oh right! What will you do during the vacation Yukinon?"
"Hmmm, I think I'll go home and if there is a new release of Pan-san I might as well buy some," Yukinoshita answered while blushing. Why are you embarrassed about Pan-san when we already know how addicted you are to those idiotic looking Panda?
"Ohhh! If there is a release, feel free to invite me Yukinoshita Senpai!" The fox said while Yukinoshita looks at her with a face like someone who found a comrade in arms.
"I also want to join but we will go to my grandparent's house this vacation," Yuigahama added with a somewhat lonely face.
"Don't worry Yuigahama-san, there is another time to go since Pan-san will always release something new!" Yukinoshita consoled her while being happy about the upcoming Pan-san merchandise.
"Woahh, Yukinon!" Yuigahama hugged her again.
What's with this room? There's too much YURI! why don't you two just marry each other?
"Oh right! What will you gonna do this summer SENPAI!?" She looks at me.
Shit, the fox noticed my presence, is stealth Hikki getting weaker? Maybe she has a Haki or something?
"Yeah Hikki! What will you do this vacation?" Yuigahama also asks.
"You shouldn't ask him that kind of question since Hikilazy-kun will probably laze around while Komachi-san will be the one who does all of the chores and her additional baggage. Right, Hikibaggage-kun?" Yukinoshita mockingly said.
Why does this woman always answer questions that are meant for me? Are you my wife or something? Wait does this mean being a househusband is acting like this? Shit, I think I need to reassess myself with this occupation of mine. Wait? Mom said that grandfather is coming this weekend, I heard that my grandfather is a strong man, I think I should at least remove that one of the requirements that I have. I wonder if I can ask some self-defense move.
"Heh, sorry to get your hopes down, because I will go to my grandfather house this summer," I answered.
"Ehh, SENPAI! Why?" The fox asked while mumbling about a date or something. Too noisy woman, you are being too noisy.
"Fufu, I'm glad you ask Isshiki..." I point my fingers at her. And ask;
"...do you know the manga gokushufudou?"
She nods. "That's the one with the ex-yakuza who becomes a house husband right? So what's that have to do with anything?"
"I have been enlightened about how holy my dream job is." I looked at my fist.
"Yukinon, Hikki is acting creepy." Yuigahama closed her distance to Yukinoshita.
"Don't mind him Yuigahama-san, he just got enlighten by a fake faith." the three of them gave me a sympathetic look.
"Oi, I'm only doing this for my future occupation." I rebutted.
"Oh is being a Househusband an occupation? You think I would let you do something as lazy as that?" Yukinoshita answered again with a question while looking me coldly. Too scary woman, too scary but I won't give in.
"It is an occupation!, Why do only females have the right to become a housewife? I thought we have gender equality, so a househusband should also be an occupation! and besides, it's not like you should worry about things such as this! That should be left to my F-U-T-U-R-E W-I-FE!" I answered like my life is on the line.
I should start looking for my future workaholic wife.
"...". The room became silent, What happen did I won easily to the Ice Queen? Do I only need to bet my life on the line to win on her? It seems the fox and Yuigahama look on Yukinoshita and me back and forth while the Ice queen is looking down while her ear has a tinge of red?
"Why is the room silent?" Another voice had disturbed the silence in the room.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, Please knock," Yukinoshita said It seems she has regained her composure from her loss to the great I!
"Why is your face red? Are you sick?" Hiratsuka-sensei asked while ignoring the Ice Queen's complaint.
"I-I'm fine, What are you doing here sensei?" Nice dodge, it seems that I underestimated the Ice Queen in terms of conversation.
"Nothing I just want to say that as an adviser, I should at least give a little word to my students before having their vacation right?" Hiratsuka-sensei proudly said.
Seriously? you thought that would let us feel proud on you, especially to me who had become your punching bag on many occasions.
"I don't need it, maybe you should just focus on finding apart-", I felt a glare and a sound of knuckles can be heard.
"Ehh, party, right maybe you should throw us a party like a teacher," I said rushedly.
"Yeah! Sensei we should at least throw a party!" Yuigahama added.
"Yeah, please count me in Senpai!" Isshiki agreed.
"Don't ask me! You're not a member of Service Club so why are you tagging along?" I questioned her.
"Indeed, I don't want to admit it, but Hikigaya-kun is right this time," Yukinoshita added.
"Ehhh! But I also help the club sometimes right SENPAI!" Isshiki looked at me with puppy eyes, how does this girl know that kind of look? did Yuigahama teach her that?
Urggh this vixen pretending to be a puppy when she is a fox, the Onii-chan mode is tingling.
"Uh, I guess you could come along." Dammit, I can't deactivate this skill of mine. Yukinoshita gives me another cold look. I also gave her a 'What? If you don't want to, you should at least say her.' look.
"Hmmm well since it is settled then we can go now," Hiratsuka-sensei said.
The party is of course from a Ramen Shop, don't think that I and Hiratsuka forced this place but since we love democracy we vote on different places that we suggest and unknowingly Isshiki also voted a Ramen that me and Sensei vote, maybe my practice date with her on a Ramen Shop bore fruit. I'm proud of you! Oops, my Onii-chan sense is tingling again, Deactivate! Deactivate!
And that is how I ended my school life before I threw myself in this Hell.
Present Time
If only I didn't want to show them the power of being a Househusband I would've put this 'must protect your loved ones' responsibility on hold. Well, I'm confident in protecting through mental one with my Logic but the problem is the Physical.
"You're good now right?" I shake my head.
"I'm most certainly not, and I think I'll never be the same and besides I only ask for self-defense, why it is so brutal?."
"Haha, you really like to joke around..." He chuckles.
ME? Joke? You turned me into a punching bag and yet you think I'll make a joke about this?
"...and for your question, why get a half-ass course when you can have the full course!"
I immediately shake my head. "No, no, no, I know my limitations and the so-called half-ass course is enough for me."
"Okay I'll teach you my own fighting style, I call it; Hikigaya-style."
Oi listen to your Grandson's protest, I thought our Family follows Laissez-faire, why are you acting like a dictator?
He showed me a stance which caused me to stop thinking about my complaint, instead, I want to be blind.
Oh my God! I can't look at it, how can you show it to this former 8-grade syndrome child, I'm reminiscing my childhood days! I mean my sister's brother childhood days!
Unexpectedly, he shows me several different irregular forms. At first, I peek a little then he showed different momentum, and before I knew it.
"What the fuck, Oops! sorry for the aggro word!" I bowed.
"What was that?" I asked.
"HAHAHAHA! Isn't your Grandpa cool?" He bloated his own ego.
I idiotically nod. Don't misunderstand, I didn't find it shocking because I'm a former, I mean my sister's mother's son is a former Eighth Grade Syndrome patient. It's just that he almost did the impossible. Yep! He tried to attack the leaves falling down and without a proper position, most of it had been either punched or kicked.
"It seems that you have noticed something." I nod which causes him to laugh loudly.
Oi if you don't do that I will actually find you cool! I felt like he is boasting at me, Tch.
"Okay, since you are still injured." What? You already know and you said I'm not fine before.
"I'll explain everything to you."
"It starts when I was a child..." I don't care about that gives me the main point.
"...Bla Bla Bla, Then I meet your grandma..." So what's the connection with the style?
"...and your father is born..." Is this a bibliography?
So according to my damaged brain from his bibliography, there are only two key points.
"SERIOUSLY? There are only two of them, and I had to listen from start to finish and find it!" I exclaimed.
First is Irregular Fighting Style which allowed to move but the main key point here. "It is to minimize the effort to move but can fight or counter." I like it, the word Minimize and Effort = Laziness!
Second is a little complicated, being sensitive with all of the senses. "It's weird and unlike the first, it is the opposite, extremely hard work is necessary.
These are polar opposites but, with proper hard work and effort, things can be done minimally which; equals the Laziness.
The old geezer not only gave me physical damage but also a mental one!
I sigh… Okay House Husband occupation, I'll force you to submit to me!...
