Uneasy daily life

Doing a good job is expected, doing a bad one is a private matter. From a political cost-benefit perspective, it's a thankless task, and other members of parliament are happy to have someone fill in for this kind of unavoidable job... If we're talking about the future of this young goddess who wants to enter politics...

Forget it, these things are too far off, too vague and abstract for the little goddess. Right now, she's happy to be able to touch the things she longs for, and she's very motivated to do something, which is a good state to be in. That villain's outburst did reduce some of the self-imposed pressure on the little goddess.

A villain is indeed a villain, cunning and treacherous.

Yukinoshita's father gave a gentle smile, then his expression changed, and he sneaked away from the office.

Goldfish scooping, target shooting, takoyaki selling... these are all classic activities. I imagine there are also people who don't apply for stalls and operate on a mobile basis... for example, selling candied apples, which doesn't have much profit margin, and you can just walk around with a straw stick. From what I've gathered, there are quite a few of these. Restricting them is unnecessary, but we can't support them either. Otherwise, those who apply for fixed stalls can break down into smaller units and operate on a mobile basis, plus there are many residents and tourists...

The chaos was predictable.

Yukino tried hard to recall her childhood memories of attending fireworks festivals, vaguely remembering some things, but the occasions were few and far between. Most of the time, she was accompanied by her mother. Because her mother preferred quiet, they would usually choose a spot with a good view, watch the fireworks, and then the festival would end.

Hmm? A school club applied to set up a stall to sell local specialties as a form of social internship. Upholding the pride of labor, they are working diligently and creatively to achieve results and gain experience, making the fireworks festival even more spectacular…

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at an application, which was full of nonsense and empty words.

His gaze shifted slightly downwards.

Application organization: Soubu High School Aid Department.

Applicant: Bai Ying.

"?"

Let's put it on hold for now.

Setting aside the vague application, Yukino Yukinoshita picked up the next one.

The band applied for a prime location in the center of a fireworks festival, hoping to build a temporary stage to offer free performances, hone their skills, and promote the band, all in an effort to make the festival even more spectacular... In short, they want public funds to cover the budget for building the stage and offering free performances?

Fireworks festival and music...a competition between fireworks and music to see who can make the loudest sound?

His gaze shifted slightly downwards.

Applicant: Yukinoshita Haruno.

"?"

……

……

Tokyo, Shimokitazawa Station.

Under the snow, the father held an umbrella, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd in the station.

That's for sure, the goddess will be performing at a showroom called "Starry Sky" in Shimokitazawa...

Snapped.

A hand landed on my shoulder, and a familiar voice came from behind me.

"Oh, isn't this Father?"

The goddess? !

"Ha ha……"

Yukinoshita's father turned around with a big smile on his face.

The white figure smiled.

Chapter 126, If You Don't Abandon Me, Let's Become Brothers

The rain kept falling, and the atmosphere wasn't very harmonious.

Under different umbrellas, you gradually feel your heart changing.

It was probably murderous intent.

"Are you following me?"

The father quickly regained his composure under the snow and took the initiative to seize the high ground.

"Why do you say that, Father?"

Bai Ying walked beside him and said incredulously, "I'm the child you just recognized. How can traveling together be considered stalking?"

"Take back that damned title immediately." Yukinoshita's father's expression was somewhat ferocious, with veins bulging on his forehead and his blood pressure throbbing. Generally speaking, it was only a matter of time before he heard that title from someone other than the "Little Goddess."

From an emotional perspective, I want to trade one for one with the other person.

Rationality is a combination of emotion and manifests in people as calmness, wisdom, courage, and other characteristics.

Therefore, one must calmly, wisely, and bravely engage in a one-for-one exchange with the other party. For example, if a villain is sent to another world by an unknown truck, it has absolutely nothing to do with me. Even if it happens, facing the little goddess's accusations and hostility, I... I also...

puff--!

Logical conflict, rational collapse, and madness.

"Father, are you alright?"

Bai Ying asked with concern.

"Hey! Shut up!" Yukinoshita's father, his face contorted with rage, endured the pain and unleashed a Seven Injury Fist. "If you attack me again, I'll record your address and send it to Yukino!"

"Haha."

Yin Baiying chuckled dismissively, "Then wouldn't the hero and I be half-siblings?"

"Hmph!" Yukinoshita's father sneered, "Having a son like you is truly the worst luck imaginable..."

After thinking about it for a moment, I became conflicted—what if…

Suddenly, Yukinoshita's father smiled broadly and said, "Young man, I see that you have extraordinary talent and are destined to be adopted. What do you say?"

"Huh?" Bai Ying was taken aback for a moment, then, after a quick thought to understand the other person's train of thought, he chuckled, "If I call you 'Dad,' would you dare to answer?"

If I were to actually agree to this unfilial son's request, wouldn't I be leading a villain into my home? Tsk, I'm being a bit desperate and grasping at straws.

Yukinoshita's father snorted, showing through his actions that he dared not, while his words, of course, were that his parents had no relatives or friends—no uncles.

Score: 1-0.

It's okay, best of three.

The two continued walking through the streets of Tokyo in the rain, holding umbrellas.

If this treacherous villain enters the house, disaster will surely follow...

Under the snow, the father looked downcast, glancing sideways.

The sound of water splashing echoed on the flat road. A white figure hummed an unknown tune, occasionally shoveling water from the ground with his sandals, causing the water to splash and spray in front of him.

If a direct assault doesn't work, then we'll try a roundabout approach!

"Young man," Yukinoshita's father said kindly, "Where do you plan to study at university? Back in China or in Japan?"

“I might not take the college entrance exam either,” Bai Ying said.

"Lacking ambition and foresight," Yukinoshita's father commented, then changed the subject, "If you're not going to university, do you want to go back to the Scarlet Theatre Company and continue touring around?"

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." To defeat a villain, you must first understand him. However, the investigation results are quite surprising. He went to Japan in junior high school? And toured around with the Scarlet Theatre Troupe? Where is his guardian? How did he pass the vetting process? He started working at such a young age, working part-time while studying, and still got into Soubu High School? The Scarlet Theatre Troupe is also quite strange. They have a history of global tours and a loyal audience, but they've never really connected with professional circles, so they're not very well-known. And in recent years, they've been mostly in Japan…

It highlights a problem that seems fine at first glance, but upon closer inspection, is riddled with issues.

"It's hard to say."

Before the other party could start pointing fingers, Bai Ying immediately launched a counterattack: "Why would an old man want to commit suicide?"

"What shortsightedness?" Yukinoshita's father said. "This is called 'He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present.' Young man, one must consider the future..."

"That is incorrect. It is clear that people who have foresight are bound to be short-sighted."

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita's father sneered, "If you don't give me a straight answer, don't blame me for getting angry."

"What name are you planning to give your grandson, uncle?"

The white shadow killed the game.

Score: 2-0.

It's okay, best of five.

"As the saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots. Young man, you'll have to go back to your country sooner or later, right?"

Yukinoshita's father casually brought up the matter.

"The autumn wind howls, the grass roots turn yellow, the winter snow is cold, the veins of the leaves are chilled. Do not lament the bare branches, for the spring rain weaves a new dress." The white figure shifts to a poetic tone in the rain, treading on the water and reciting poetry, smiling and sighing, "The leaves fall, perhaps weighed down by the accumulated snow. When the fallen leaves return to their roots, they may be carrying snowflakes with them."

puff--!

score……

I'm tired of the red tape of human competitions! Physical victory or defeat is the ironclad law of nature!

Yukinoshita's father approached directly, holding an umbrella in one hand and forcibly locking the man in the other, laughing with murderous intent in his heart: "You scoundrel, I mean young man, the threshold of the Yukinoshita family is very high!"

Bai Ying waved her hand and said, "It's alright, I can kneel to go in."

"A man should have lofty ambitions, a heart filled with the spirit of war, and the desire to make a name for himself throughout the world—that is the true romance of a man!" Yukinoshita's father exclaimed. "How can you be so old? You should have ambition! How can a man bow and scrape to become a live-in son-in-law?!"

Bai Ying, holding an umbrella in one hand and a chokehold in the other, said in a loud voice, "Uncle is absolutely right! We men should stand up and speak loudly. No one should make us kneel! I never imagined that beneath your complacent exterior, you actually harbored such ambitions. I was too naive!"

"Well said!" Yukinoshita's father revealed his true intentions. "Then go forth and roam the world. When you have achieved great success and become the chairman of the Earth Human Alliance, then cross that threshold!"

"Is the uncle's wish really that grand?" Bai Ying nodded. "Then let's start with what's in front of us and take over Auntie's bird spot first..."

“Young man, you’re joking.” Yukino’s father suddenly looked old. “Everyone has to admit they’re getting old eventually. I’ll leave this ambition to you.”

Bai Ying nodded and said, "Then I'll take over the Yukinoshita family and seize Auntie's bird throne..."

"Be bold!"

Enhanced version of Strongman's chokehold!

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

"I mean, what audacity... Never mind, let's all speak frankly."

Yukinoshita's father coughed lightly, straightened his expression, and said, "The Yukinoshita family has reached a point where it is enough for us as a family. At least I don't think we need to ask for any further advancement. Just doing things steadily is enough... My greatest wish is for the whole family to be able to go on a trip together in harmony, to be able to eat together every day, and to have no resentment or ill will in our hearts..."

As he spoke, Yukinoshita's father thought of his parents, whom he had long since lost contact with, and his home, which was in complete disarray. Strangers are neither loving nor hateful; only those with whom one has a deep and intertwined relationship can love and hate deeply.

Going out for a family trip sounds easy, but it's actually incredibly difficult.

Everyone may not have their own wishes and thoughts. If one party forces another in the name of family, it is essentially just forcing them to swallow their pride and submit to the abstract concept of "family"... That's why Yukinoshita's father never organizes company team building activities, at most he will issue some travel vouchers internally.

"If it were before, if Uncle suggested a family trip, Aunt would definitely make the decision, and the Brave Ones and their sister would have no choice but to agree to reach the destination and complete the mission. So, Uncle never voiced his wish?" Bai Ying said knowingly. "Recently, Uncle saw a glimmer of hope and suddenly developed a wild ambition."

"Young man, how do you feel about me?"

Yukinoshita's father did not deny it.

"Uncle, look." The white figure pointed to the puddles on the ground.

Yukinoshita's father looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You can see what you look like, so why are you asking me if I'm handsome?"

"You treacherous villain!"

Under the swaying umbrellas, the two men locked throats and fiercely exchanged opinions. In the end, Yukinoshita's father, being older, was no match for the strong and healthy young man.

"Wait a minute!" Yukinoshita's father dodged the scissor-like hand that was shoving at his nostrils and said breathlessly, "Don't you have any respect for me, kid?"

Bai Ying clamped the other person's arm around her neck: "If I respected you, would you dare?"

...Damn it! Why is this happening? My father-in-law once gave me a hidden sword and made me commit seppuku, but now I can't even suppress a mere traitor!

Yukino's father, in a moment of quick thinking, said: "You show respect to one person first, and see if I dare to do it!"

Hmph! The traitor hasn't yet been... oops! The traitor hasn't yet conquered the little goddess, so he certainly won't dare to offer me a title of respect to his face. Thus, I can turn the tables and kill him! This is the principle of nuclear deterrence, this is the game theory that requires an iron will to achieve victory!

I, the son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family, rose from a lowly hoodlum to the position of head of the family, making the Yukinoshita family bigger and stronger, spanning both the political and business worlds. All the cats in Chiba have to bow down to me. After years of being beaten by the great goddess, my will has long been as hard as steel!

"Yue..."

"shut up!"

The middle-aged man's sharp shout revealed his utter dejection; his iron will had been defeated by a junior?!
