Let's do it again, Yukino.

……

…………

She should have her own life; she should have lived like her sister.

It's the kind of posture that draws everyone's attention, everywhere.

She should be the center of attention among high society.

but,

Kasuga-kun,

You're the one who ruined my daughter.

This caused her to prioritize personal gain and etiquette over those of the snow-covered figure.

This caused her to avoid the people and things she should have known.

This caused her originally planned life path to take a different, more ordinary direction.

Is it sitting with you on the school rooftop, eating lunch together?

Was it riding a bicycle to take her home under the blood-red setting sun?

That wasn't something the girl bearing the surname Yukinoshita did.

……

Do you believe it?

Just one year

If I send my youngest daughter abroad for a year...

You will forget her.

And she will forget you.

Kasuga-kun, would you like to make a bet with me?

……

…………

"Xiaoxue, do you remember when we were in college, your older sister Yukinoshita Haruno was transferred to the Yukinoshita family's overseas subsidiary and did an internship and training there for a whole year? Actually, that was originally a 'training experience' arranged by your mother for you, Xiaoxue."

At this point, a sly smile appeared on Chunri's lips.

"Your mother, that woman, was just as sweet as you back then. Did she think that my nodding in agreement to her so-called bet meant I agreed to send you away? Has she forgotten my past? Thugs are best at lying when the wind blows and acting decisively when the opportunity arises. I can't help but laugh when I think about how that woman found out it was Yang Nai who boarded the plane instead of you. Hahahaha."

"You're so mean..."

Xiaoxue couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at this childish fool.

Because Yang Nai had initially insisted that everyone keep this matter a secret from Xiao Xue.

Therefore, even after learning the truth, the girl did not feel a strong sense of reality.

“Xiaoxue, although I don’t like talking badly about people behind their backs, especially about the person who was supposed to be my future mother-in-law, you just need to know one thing: your mother is indeed much worse than me.”

Haruhi was also somewhat grateful that she had spent her childhood with Junko. Although life was poor, at least she had the freedom she wanted.

That night, he told Xiaoxue about many of the things her mother had done behind her back, and how he and Yang Nai had resolved many of these issues without Xiaoxue's knowledge.

but,

Chunri thought about it and ultimately didn't tell Xiaoxue about the woman's request for her to accompany Xiaoxue to abort her child.

Let's just say it's to give my future mother-in-law the last bit of face.

……

I don't know how much time passed.

The delicate body in his arms trembled slightly.

Looking down in the spring, for some reason, Xiaoxue, who had been calm and happy, suddenly burst into tears.

"...Why are you crying again? You're laughing one minute and crying the next. If you think I shouldn't have said bad things about your mother, or if you think I'm lying, then I'll never say these things to you again."

Xiaoxue had also accompanied him countless times in facing her mother, and each time she maintained a firm and unyielding attitude.

Even when faced with difficulties and scolding from her family, she never bowed her head or uttered a sound.

Before Haruhi could wipe away the girl's tears, Yukino had already wiped them away first.

In the past, she would maintain absolute composure in front of her mother, father, and even family members.

But now...

The tear stains on Xiaoxue's face were still visible, but they made her appear even more beautiful and charming in the tranquil night. Her delicate nose was slightly rosy, and the girl raised her face slightly, looking at Chunri without flinching.

"Don't cry. I didn't mean to say bad things about your mother. I just made it all up."

"I...I had no idea that my family was putting so much pressure on you."

Xiaoxue seemed to have been touched on some tender nerve and started crying.

She really couldn't imagine that this arrogant and conceited fool, when faced with countless difficulties from his mother, would lower his head and seek help from Hayama, Hachiman, and even the girl he hated the most, Haruno.

She really couldn't imagine it.

Oh, so that's what it is...

Hearing Xiaoxue's explanation, Chunri breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head, and chuckled foolishly.

"That's not true. I'm a very thick-skinned person. Even if your mother criticizes and mocks me harshly, I won't care too much. Besides, I genuinely want to treat your mother as my own."

"Your mother is actually quite pretty, though not quite as pretty as Junko; and she has a bit of a bad temper, but I don't care. In this rebirth, I'll try my best to leave a better impression on your mother."

Under the moonlight

Seeing that Haruhi's expression was genuine, Yukinoshita finally broke into a smile through her tears once again.

"You know how to talk..."

Is there a reward for being able to talk?

What reward do you want?

"What a beautiful day! Under the delightful moonlight, Xiaoxue, it wouldn't be too much for you to give me a kiss, would it?"

He looked at the girl and grinned wickedly.

And in an instant...

The boy felt a warm sensation on his forehead.

(P.S.: Also, since Yukinoshita's mother never has a name in the original work, let's just call her Yukinoshita's mother for now, so we don't get embarrassed if we're wrong later. A new week is coming soon, please support us!)

Book recommendation: "The Awakened Must Win"

It was an ordinary day. As usual, I was discussing Buddhism with the female bodhisattvas at Lingshan.

Then I saw Sun Wukong, who was pinned down on the mountain with his butt facing outwards, leading a group of spiky-bearded monkeys into Mount Ling. When those monkeys used their powers, their hair flashed like a carousel, displaying all sorts of colors: yellow, black, red, blue, and white.

There was also a seductive woman who called herself Happy Heaven, who led a group of strange and bizarre demons into the Great Buddha Hall. These included a different kind of demon god with a holy demonic embryo, a dark titan with a true body ten thousand feet tall, a Buddha-demon without heaven incarnate as a black lotus, the Demon Lord Chonglou who was obsessed with love, the Primordial Heavenly Demon who slaughtered gods and immortals, and a dark giant with fire on his head...

I was scattered within three days, even the relics were dispersed! (I bet the Green Emperor's new book a month, how long do you guys bet?)

Chapter 106 Troubles Beneath the Snow

"Hey Chunri, you look pretty tired today."

Saturday was a sunny day.

Inside the Fengliu Temple, seeing that Chunri, who was usually full of energy, seemed a little absent-minded while working today, Manager Xin couldn't help but put down his work and go over to ask her with concern.

Is it because of the exam in a few days?

He was friends with Yukino-sensei, so he had heard some of the trivial matters about Soubu High School.

"No."

Chunri was wiping down every table in the restaurant when she heard Manager Xin's words. She lowered her head, shook her head, and sighed without offering any explanation.

Unconsciously, Manager Xin's gaze fell on Kawasaki Saki, who was also tidying up the lobby not far away.

"Don't look at me, I'm not too sure either, but it should be related to that Yukinoshita-san."

Since Haruhi and she were the only two from the same school in the entire Fengliu Temple, their relationship in the restaurant wasn't too strained. At least when Haruhi struck up a conversation with her, she could still reply with a few words.

"That's true. If it's not related to studies, it must be related to romance."

Nobunaga chuckled with a gossipy grin.

"..."

Looking at the group of gossiping men and women, Chunri ignored them and continued with what she was doing.

Indeed, there is no such thing as a day when nothing happens.

Even after rebirth, there is no exception.

These past few days, Chunri has also been troubled by certain things.

Putting aside the invitation from Kaguya Shinomiya to the school festival next weekend, he hasn't found a suitable reason to invite the three members of the Service Club to go together.

Yesterday, Junko made things even worse by calling me again from nowhere, saying she was coming to inspect my apartment tonight.

In addition, Yuki told him this morning that she had accepted the invitation from the Hikigaya siblings to choose a birthday present for Yuihama's birthday next week.

Three things, each more troublesome than the last, plunged Chunri's already exhausted brain into a semi-crash, unmanageable state.

That's the adorable Yuki in her twin-tail form, a look I've only seen a handful of times...

Jealousy is making my plasmolysis break down...

Moreover, there's the idea of ​​Komachi Hikigaya, a girl a few years younger than him.

He could guess the general idea even with his eyes closed.

Isn't all she does is plant flags for her brother and all the girls she's connected with?
