Uneasy daily life

[Sakurajima Mai is the best: Really? You're not kidding me, are you?!]

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: Woohoo! Mai Sakurajima is retiring from the entertainment industry! Good! The entertainment industry is full of bad people, and Mai Sakurajima couldn't be any better. It's good that she's retiring!]

[Sakurajima Mai is the best: You bastard! I'm going to tell my sister!]

Feng Bin and Hua typed the text in a fit of anger, only realizing their mistake before sending it.

[Bai Liang and Bai Ying: Isn't this a brilliant plan?]

[Sakurajima Mai is the best: Hmph, not bad.]

Should I type 'thank you'? Or just type 'Thanks'?

As Feng Bin and Hua pondered, their mood gradually brightened, and they both felt an urge to hurry home and start their daily online battles.

[Bai Liang and Bai Ying: What a pity.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: ?]

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: What a pity.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: ...]

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: What a pity.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Speak your mind!]

[Bai Liang and Bai Ying: This plan is good, but it depends on the person executing it being competent. If you remain impatient and react quickly to emotions, you'll only end up having a pointless argument, bottling up your anger and turning into a pufferfish, howling and wailing.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: You're the pufferfish!]

……

……

At night, with the living room lights on, Mai Sakurajima felt a little hungry and looked to the side with a mix of helplessness and headache.

"To make the first meal like this... I overestimated Mr. Shiro's Japanese cooking skills."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the table of dishes with a subtle expression and asked, "Where's Mai Sakurajima?"

"Here it is."

The white figure simply pointed to the air beside it.

Chapter 86 Two Little Sisters Two little sisters~

Who exactly is Mai Sakurajima?

Is the place where the white shadow lives the Sakurajima Mai family?

Yukino Yukinoshita found it extremely absurd. Shiro-kun clearly lived in a rented apartment, and she couldn't find any record of the so-called celebrity, Mai Sakurajima.

Verifying this is very simple; just go to where Bai Jun is currently staying, and you'll have the results in a moment.

Whether you believe it or not, go and see for yourself, investigate for yourself, and judge for yourself.

I'll just stay here for one night. I'm determined to figure out what Bai Jun is saying!

By the way, I'll also keep Bai Ying's promise to cook ten meals a day; yesterday I saw him preparing ingredients for Japanese cuisine...

"This should be grilled saury, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the few small, reddish-brown fish lying on their sides in the broth. "You grilled it?"

"One grilled saury per person is only enough to taste. I originally wanted to use the grilled saury for braising, but considering that grilled saury would easily fall apart if cooked in broth for too long, I changed it to braising instead of braising. I stir-fried ginger, garlic, scallions, broad bean paste, and a little chili to bring out the flavor, added water to make broth, added light soy sauce, salt, and sugar for seasoning, and after simmering, I removed the solids, thickened the sauce over high heat, and poured it over the grilled saury."

Bai Ying seemed quite pleased with herself: "By adding a complex salty and savory sauce to retain the texture and flavor of roasting, I can only imagine that it will be absolutely delicious."

"Grilled saury requires precise control of the heat to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior with a slightly charred texture. Seasoning only requires simple salt to bring out the saury's natural flavor," Yukino Yukinoshita said. "Shiro-kun, how did you learn Japanese cuisine? This is already a different dish altogether."

"How did you learn Japanese cuisine?" Bai Ying spread her hands and said, "I learned what ingredients each dish needed, and then I added some improvisational skills like a 'dead chef.' Although I think I did a great job, it's hard to say exactly what the taste would be like—let's get this straight, you're the one who asked me to make Japanese cuisine."

Great, I'll also let my creativity flow when I'm learning Chinese cuisine on my own.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the dishes on the table, suspecting there might be some hidden dangers. She looked up and glanced around the brightly lit living room, her brows furrowing slightly. "Haku-kun, where's Sakurajima Mai you mentioned?"

"She just went out to buy bread and milk for dinner."

The white figure glanced at the doorway. Sakurajima Mai probably noticed something special. After pausing for a few seconds by the door, she seemed to have used a wall-passing technique to walk through it.

Buy bread? Nobody's going to open the door and go out anyway.

Yukino frowned deeply as she stared at the white figure. Her initial agitation gradually cooled, and a sense of worry crept into her heart.

Could it be that Bai Jun's unconventional behavior has led to a mental illness?

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but have this suspicion. Her searching and questioning gaze gradually turned into worry and hesitation. She unconsciously wondered how to deal with the situation if Haku-kun was really sick...

"Brave warrior, when did you develop the delusion that you're mentally ill enough to defeat me?" Bai Ying chewed on a saury, a piece of fish tail swaying back and forth at the corner of his mouth.

"Bai Jun really has self-awareness."

Yukino Yukinoshita coughed lightly, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in her mouth, saying subtly, "...Why is it sour?"

"Because it is my innovation in Japanese cuisine."

"Shirofumi has absolutely no right to criticize Yuihama."

"Since when do you need a certificate to criticize? You can speak eloquently, look contemptuously, express emotions with your face, and use your hands to gesture. Even if you only have your feet left, you can still type and write!"

"I've recently started learning Chinese cooking."

"Remember to treat me to a meal when you've done a good job, and I'll give you a professional review."

Strawberry Mapo Tofu? Or Pineapple Mapo Tofu?

"Hero, you've turned evil, your heart is wicked!"

"If Bai Jun says that, shouldn't he reflect on his own actions?"

"I'm a bad person, Red Bean Paste Private Marseille."

"..."

The two chatted casually over their meal. Among the unique and innovative Japanese dishes on the table, there were always a few dishes that produced strange reactions due to their unique innovations, like someone who had never eaten salted pineapple before tasting its peculiar sweetness.

It's a bit like when we lived together before, but my mindset has changed quite a bit...

Yukino Yukinoshita was startled by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.

That Mai Sakurajima?

Bai Ying got up to open the door, and Yukino Yukinoshita followed immediately.

Sakurajima Mai's mother? Or was it through her persistent indoctrination that the hero finally remembered something about Hero Plus, making it impossible for her to use the wall-penetrating technique anymore?

As Bai Ying walked towards the gate, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. So he took a step back and shielded Yukino Yukinoshita in front of him.

"Brave warrior, charge!"

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the white figure speechlessly, then went to open the door.

The moment the door opened, a figure rushed over and grabbed him!

"?!"

Yukino Yukino was startled. Seeing that she couldn't dodge in time, she instinctively raised her hand to hug the other person's waist, preventing them from escaping. As long as she stepped on the midline of the other person's legs, blocking the position where they would change their strength, and then twisted her waist, twisted her shoulders, swung her arms, and slid her foot to disrupt the target's balance, she could throw them to the ground on the spot!

"elder sister!"

With her golden hair tied in a side ponytail, her eyes slightly red and swollen, and her mind elsewhere, Toyohama and Hana tightly hugged their "older sister," burying their faces in her arms. They called out to each other sadly and affectionately, with a lot of emotions they wanted to express. The tears they thought were gone couldn't help but flow out, and sadness flowed back into their hearts.

My sister hugged me; she comforted me; she was the closest person to me... my sister...

Huh? Why does my sister's embrace feel a bit spacious and firm?

Just as Feng Binhe and Hua managed to utter a half-sob, they vaguely sensed something was wrong. Their feet slipped, and as they lost their balance and fell, they used their hands to pull themselves up. Their vision blurred, and they involuntarily fell to the floor, where they were pinned down and restrained.

The grappling and suppression techniques don't hurt, but they lock the joints of the body, making it extremely uncomfortable. However, none of this compares to the shock of being suddenly thrown to the ground.

"Who are you? Let me go!"

Feng Bin and Hua shouted, struggling to move, and hurriedly turned their heads to try and see the other person clearly. They saw a white figure in front of them, and she exclaimed, her eyes widening, "Why are you at my sister's house?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback, realizing she might have overreacted.

"Your sister is finished."

The white-clad figure sneered, "Next, it's your turn! Quickly stuff her into a sack, weigh her later, and sell her under the cover of night..."

"Sell your head my ass! You idiot!"

Feng Bin and Hua were completely unafraid and even bravely fought back.

"Hehehehe, hahahahaha, hehehehe..."

Bai Ying merely revealed a playful smile, her eyes filled with pity and mockery, and said softly, "Little girl, guess why I encouraged you to quarrel with your mother? As long as there is a fierce argument, you will run away from home. And if you run away from home, you will have no friends, and you will want to find someone to rely on and confide in, so naturally you will choose your sister's house."

"Don't be afraid. You won't need to worry about your issues with your mother anymore. When you get there, you need to control your temper. The people who bought you won't be lenient with you. They'll beat you three times a day with extra meals..."

Feng Binhe's forehead veins bulged with anger as he shouted, "Sell me! Let's see where you can sell me, you bastard!"

"Tsk, you're not as fun as before." Bai Ying was quite disappointed. "Arrogant when you're far away, and disrespectful when you're close. I'll definitely sell you out later to teach you a lesson."

Yukinoshita vaguely understood, so she let go of Toyohama and Hana.

Feng Bin and Hua quickly got up and looked back, their faces showing realization as they frowned and asked, "Who are you? Why are you at my sister's house?"

"My name is Yukino Yukinoshita. I've come here to meet your sister." Yukino Yukinoshita said frankly, "When you suddenly appeared before me, I thought you were being attacked, so I instinctively knocked you down. I'm sorry."

"Ah, oh..."

Feng Bin and Hua scratched their heads, their tone softening: "It's nothing, I just mistook you for my older sister."

Mistaken for her older sister?

Yukino Yukinoshita paused slightly, then asked sharply, "Your older sister has long, straight black hair, and is about the same age and height as me?"

“Yes…” Feng Bin and Hua were a little suspicious. Didn’t you know you were still at your sister’s house?

Bai Ying shook her head and complained, "You're such a bad fan. You don't even recognize your own idol and sister. You hugged the wrong person right away. You'll have to tell Brave Plus about your embarrassing moments later, hahaha..."

"No!"

Feng Bin and Hua quickly denied it, saying, "I realized I had mistaken you for someone else as soon as I hugged you! It was an accident!"

Bai Ying said in bewilderment, "That's strange. In my opinion, the appearance of the 'Hero' and 'Hero Plus' is very similar. How could you, a little blind fool, possibly distinguish them quickly when you're in a daze? I think you're a wise man before the fact and a shrewd one after the fact. Being stubborn doesn't mean you've lost."

"Of course, it's the chest..."

Feng Bin and Hua realized what was happening and quickly shut their mouths and coughed a few times.

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was deep and unsettling. She subconsciously glanced at Toyohama and Hana, and immediately felt much better.

"Let's have a good talk about Mai Sakurajima."

"Oh right, where's my sister?!"

Feng Bin and Hua looked around before gazing at the white figure.

Bai Ying observed the expressions of the two and pondered, "Brave Plus... is attempting to reconnect."

“?”×2.

……

……

"Cashier, checkout."

"Okay! Ms. Sakurajima, I've already bought the tickets for your movie and I'm going to see it!"

"Um... thank you for your support."

"I'm a fan, you know. Alright—take care, Ms. Sakurajima."

The cashier said goodbye warmly.

Aside from a few isolated individuals, many people are able to discover themselves, but it's unclear how long this discovery will last. In a way, the current situation is quite similar to the entertainment industry; one must take action to gain more attention in order to become popular. If popularity gradually cools, the entertainment industry can forget about someone in less than a month or two.
