Uneasy daily life

Kazuka Toyohama swore, "I absolutely will not run away!"

"Whether you run away or not has nothing to do with me catching you." Yukinoshita Haruno reached out and poked the other's cheek. "Instead of thinking about these things, you should think about how to face your mother and your little sister who ran away from home later."

Feng Bin and Hua glared angrily, shifting their heads: "Take your hands off me!"

Yukinoshita Haruno withdrew her hand with satisfaction, continuing to control Toyohama and Hana: "When your mother comes over later, have you thought about what to say?"

“What do I have to say?” Feng Bin and Hua puffed out their cheeks and muttered, “It’s just more of the same old thing about comparing with my sister… Let her say what she wants, I’ll just go back with her.”

Yukino reached out and poked him.

puff.

Feng Bin and Hua glared at each other, fidgeting, only to sadly discover that the other remained completely still.

"That wretched, super-strong woman!"

“You’re much more interesting than Yukino-chan,” Yukinoshita Haruno sighed. “It’s a pity that my cute little sister isn’t as fun as Hana-chan.”

"What do you mean by fun?!"

"Oh dear, isn't a little sister just something to play with?"

"Xinei!"

In a corner of the film set, the two were fooling around.

Sakurajima Mai, who had just finished filming a scene, took a sip of water and looked over there with some confusion. When did Kazuha and Yukinoshita Haruno become so close? Where did the hater go again? Something felt really strange.

"Everyone, give it your all! We'll have lunch and rest after this take! Actors, get ready!"

Okita was issuing commands with his beloved little megaphone.

Mai Sakurajima calmed herself down and tried to get back into character.

Sakurajima's mother watched this scene with satisfaction, not disturbing her daughter's state of mind, but instead pondering the issue of her daughter's career path planning.

Mai's transition from child star to celebrity was a hurdle she had to overcome, a problem she had to face – child stars only grow up in a few years, and their image undergoes a dramatic change, which naturally has a profound impact on their acting career. Later, she successfully transitioned and encountered a great opportunity to become very popular... Now, starting to transition into acting is not necessarily a wrong choice, after all, an actor's professional life is much longer than that of a mere idol.

In terms of acting, I have to thank the screenwriter for his guidance, which allowed Mai to make visible progress. If she continues to hone her skills in this area, her future is promising... This movie, which I had never been optimistic about before, suddenly burst out with a vitality that I couldn't understand. At least it no longer felt like a complete flop. It can be said that Mai had a discerning eye.

The projects I've been auditioning for recently... directors with proven track records... people I know in the acting world... the types of movies and TV series the market is currently chasing...

Sakurajima's mother glanced up and caught sight of Toyohama Kazuka chasing after Yukinoshita Haruno. She remembered the information she had gathered about them the day before, and a thought flashed through her mind—this Toyohama family's daughter, Nao.

She is a popular idol star who is almost famous throughout the country, but also a member of an idol girl group with not many fans.

Comparing these two side by side... what's the point of comparing them?

Sakurajima's mother continued to ponder the problems that would arise from changing her career plans. After having some ideas, she put away her phone, looked up, paused for a moment, and then her expression darkened.

The sight of Toyohama Kazuka being pulled along, along with her mother, Toyohama, came into Sakurajima's mother's view.

"Mom! If you want to go back, just go back..."

"Didn't you come here for an audition?"

"An audition?!"

“Yes, the screenwriter said you have great potential, and the director admires you,” Toyohama’s mother said earnestly. “Even though it’s a small supporting role, you should still take it seriously. Mai Sakurajima has played many supporting roles, hasn’t she?”

Screenwriter? Ah—! That bastard!

Feng Bin and Hua quickly said, "Mom, you've been fooled by that guy! The director never said anything like that!"

"Why would someone lie to me for no reason? I can just confirm this with the director."

The director and that jerk are practically inseparable! Ugh—! Did that jerk somehow conspire with the director beforehand?! I have no idea what kind of acting skills I have!

Feng Bin and Hua felt desperate and could only be led to the film set by their mother. They were trying to figure out how to get through this and go home with their mother as soon as possible. Their eyes subconsciously looked in a certain direction... Fortunately, their mother did not notice their sister's mother in the corner. But their sister's mother did notice them!

Meeting the gaze directed at her, Feng Bin and Hua felt a pang of stomach pain and subconsciously resisted her mother's strength.

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Fengbin's mother asked curiously, subconsciously following Fengbin and Hua's gaze.

...With my ability to expose my mistakes so easily, what kind of acting is that!

Toyohama Kazuka covered her face with her hands, crying out, "Sister! Help me—!!"

As if hearing her heartfelt cry, the director had just finished filming the last scene of the morning. Mai Sakurajima breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Kazuha Toyohama and Toyohama's mother at the entrance of the film set. Turning her head to the side, she saw her mother with a furrowed brow.

The two mothers stared at each other from a distance, sparks flying like lightning, a comet crashing into the earth, and a sudden burst of cool air rising from the sweltering heat. For the sake of the unspoken social etiquette among adults and the restraint of the film set environment, their behavior was limited to childlike mutual respect rather than a physical confrontation...

"..."

Sakurajima Mai closed her eyes briefly, feeling the increasingly bright summer sun was a bit dazzling. She even wondered if her blood-related father would make a dazzling appearance when she opened her eyes, but it didn't matter whether he appeared or not!

I just had a heart-to-heart talk with Kazuka, do I want to watch her be embarrassed and troubled in this situation?

Kaori's mother always used herself as a benchmark for Kaori, so should she stand in her mother's shoes and look at things from her mother's perspective?

Originally, I wanted to express my thoughts to my mother through actions, but now, can I just 'betray' her like that?

This is a great opportunity to make everything clear, to clarify everything, and to make a final decision... it's just that the difficulty has increased a little bit compared to the original plan.

In short, first calm down and sort out the situation... Hmm?

Mai Sakurajima opened her eyes and reached for her phone.

Mai Sakurajima Fan Club

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: @Want to be a bunny girl, sorry, I'm an undercover agent.]

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: @Want to be a bunny girl, so happy, I'm an undercover agent.]

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: @Want to be a bunny girl, hahaha, you're an undercover agent.]

[Crow: Prime Minister Dong has finally gone mad!]

[Wooden Fish: An Undercover Award Ceremony?]

...? !

Wait a minute! An undercover agent? Who's the undercover agent?!

Are you an undercover agent? Aren't you a hater in the hater group?

Am I an undercover agent? In a sense, Mai Sakurajima is the leader of the Mai Sakurajima hater group, so she is indeed the biggest undercover agent—you've infiltrated me, the undercover agent!

Sakurajima Mai's eyes widened as her thoughts instantly pieced together. There were those who showered her with compliments in the group chat, and those who pointed fingers at her excessively on set—she thought they were just a two-faced tsundere, yet she still tolerated all the criticism…

Isn't this just a complete replay of the previous "I know you're a hater" approach, only to be reversed to "I know you know I'm a hater"?!

No wonder I didn't see anyone—you're just going to give me a few big ones and run away, huh?!

Black! Pink! Lord!

Mai Sakurajima's lips twitched slightly. She suddenly laughed and loosened her grip on her phone.

She walked straight up to her mother and said, "Mom, I have something very important to talk to you about later."

Sakurajima's mother paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

I always felt that Mai possessed a strange kind of charisma...

Mai Sakurajima turned around and quickly walked to Toyohama and her daughter: "Wahana, Auntie, please wait a moment. I have something to tell you when I get back."

“Okay!” Feng Bin and Hua responded immediately, and couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, what’s the matter, Mai-san?”

"Settling accounts!"

Mai Sakurajima left the film set in a running manner.

Seeing your haters jumping around like this is even more distressing than seeing a mess in my own house!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: I'm an Undercover Agent

[Bai Liang and Bai Ying: A true man is flexible and adaptable, moving freely between different social strata, advancing and retreating with ease. He uses flattery and praise to deceive the enemy, turning black into white; he uses criticism and attack to erode the enemy's power, turning white into black. He delights in praise of Sakurajima Mai, tolerating and contradicting her as if he were wise, but he is truly a frog in a well, his mind limited to a small world; a carp in a river, a shallow stream into a vast ocean—a laughingstock indeed. He has connections with his mother and sister, forming alliances and leveraging external forces to trap Sakurajima Mai. The opportune moment has arrived; he acts decisively and swiftly, crushing all opposition. His anti-fan campaign is complete; he has already planned his escape route, ensuring a safe retreat.]

[Little Pockmarked Guy: What's wrong with this guy now?]

Near noon, next to the bus stop, a white figure carrying a large backpack and Yukinoshita Haruno carrying a guitar were waiting for the bus.

"The most exhilarating thing about playing cards is having a bomb in your hand, and then throwing it out when your opponent thinks you're out of cards—"

Bai Ying put away her phone and snapped her fingers: "Boom boom boom! Brave Plus must be completely dumbfounded right now, just thinking about it is exciting."

“Is that so…” Yukinoshita glanced at the sign next to her and guessed, “So you’re waiting for Sakurajima Mai to take the bait? Just like that day when you ambushed me by the river?”

"That's not called ambushing you, that's called giving you a little bit of a shock to your mother." The white figure peeked out, "The next bus should be coming soon..."

Yukinoshita Haruno seemed thoughtful: "Do you think Sakurajima Mai could handle that kind of situation?"

"That kind of scene? Her mother and her sister's mother aren't going to be pulling each other's hair and scratching each other's faces on set. At most, they'll give each other a few cold looks and exchange a few words, and then pretend they don't see each other." Bai Ying waved her hand and said, "She doesn't have the resentment you've been suppressing for more than ten years. They have a deep mother-daughter relationship. Even if things get really big, it's just a fight. You, on the other hand, have the idea of ​​going abroad and never seeing each other again, running away to solve all your problems."

Yukinoshita Haruno said with a grin, "You rascal, what do you think I'm thinking with that expression on my face right now?"

"You want to hit me."

Bai Ying, hands on hips, said smugly, "But 9528, subordinates are not allowed to disobey their superiors!"

Yukinoshita Haruno snorted, "You jerk, aren't you being a little too quick to kick me while I'm down?"

Bai Ying said earnestly, "This is called bridge resource recycling and reuse."

Yukino raised an eyebrow: "So you're just not letting me pass?"

Bai Ying clapped her hands: "What are you talking about? You are that bridge!"

So I'm not even a human being...

Yukino suddenly shut up. What was I even talking about with this guy?!

"Huh? Why aren't you answering?" Bai Ying asked in surprise. "We worked together so well! Your acting skills and talent made me so proud..."

"I have no interest in being a comedian." Yukinoshita Haruno twitched her lips and rubbed her temples. She had been somewhat influenced by the performance stories this guy had been stirring up, and had unknowingly developed some terrible habits.

"How can this be called a comedian? This is art, and art can't be called comedy."

The white figure reached out and pushed, saying with enthusiasm, "You are the sewing machine, the bicycle, the crossbeam of the chair, the insole in the shoe..."

“That means you can trample them all…” Yukino Yukino’s words trailed off abruptly, her eyes slowly darkening, her expression gradually turning murderous.

"Hahahaha—Brave Sister, you're really versatile." Bai Ying gave a thumbs up and reminded her, "Just be careful not to accidentally slip out the lyrics when you're playing guitar and singing in the future."

This wine is poisoned!

Yukino watched silently, pondering how many ways the white figure could die.

"Come learn from me when you have a sense of self, 9528." Bai Ying said with a smile. "Once the repression and pain are gone, go find hobbies and life to fill your time. Aren't you afraid I'll stuff some weird things into your heart by staring at me like that?"

“There’s nothing I can do about it.” Yukino Yukinoshita sighed. “I just feel like the things around that jerk are more interesting. The other people and things are just too boring.”

"A bored person couldn't write that piece of music."

"...Tsk, didn't you say you were going to write lyrics? Have you thought of a song title yet?"

"Transformation from a cocoon".

Metamorphosis...

Yukinoshita pondered the name, squinting at the clear sky, her emotions slowly overflowing. She let out a soft breath and said, "It's a very fitting name."
