Uneasy daily life

Yukinoshita's father: "?"

Where did this goddess get her intelligence network?!

Wait a minute... First, let's rule out the possibility that Yukino-chan and Mother mentioned it.

Yukino's brow twitched: "Mother... what did Hakurage say to you?"

"If 9528 brings a guitar home, ask her to play a song for you. If she doesn't bring a guitar home, it means she's too shy to play for you. Another simple way to start a conversation is to ask, 'Have you eaten yet?'"

Yukinoshita's mother briefly recounted the story, adding, "But your dad just said he'd already eaten, so I made a few minor changes. Also, there's that audio he sent... I think listening to 'Breaking the Cocoon' live might give you a different feeling; it's better than just listening to the audio."

"Also, what's with 9528?" Yukinoshita's mother asked, puzzled. "Is it a nickname Hakukage gave you? Is it a trend among young people these days?"

Yukinoshita's father: "..."

When did the rebels infiltrate our headquarters? Damn it! Why is the concentration of traitors in the air so high?! And what about Haruno, Yukino, and the rebels...? We might as well just perish together.

"……hehe."

Yukino's smile had a hint of murderous intent.

Singing and playing "Breaking the Cocoon" in front of my mother... it's a bit of an overreaction to filial piety.

I shouldn't have gone home. I should have just gone and bothered Yukino-chan!

That bastard!

……

……

"Ah sneeze——!"

The white figure sneezed.

"Brother Bai has caught a cold?"

Hikigaya Komachi expressed concern.

"There must be someone who is thinking of me and missing me. Let me do some calculations..."

Bai Ying gestured, her brows furrowed.

"Brother Bai has figured it out?"

"Telecom companies, banks, directors of 'The Untamed,' finance departments, water companies, gas companies, intermediaries from all walks of life, fervent fans..." Bai Ying sighed, "It's truly a society full of human warmth."

Hachiman Hikigaya said, "I can also be added."

"My brother's opinions are all rejected!"

Komachi Hikigaya waved her hand and said, "Let's go out and play with Brother Haku!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Hachiman Hikigaya responded helplessly.

"Hehehe! Let's go!"

The white figure sets off with Hachiman Hikigaya in tow.

Sigh, when will a girl come to my door asking me to go out and play?

Hikigaya Komachi sighed, hands on her hips.

Meanwhile, on the way to their destination, Bai Ying said with a hint of doubt, "Strange, why is my dear general so resistant today?"

"..." Hachiman Hikigaya retorted, "The captain must already have a plan to make me submit, right?"

“Of course!” the white figure said proudly. “I’m all ready to use your voice to tell Komachi, ‘Komachi! I love you!’”

Just imagining it is unbearable. Regardless of whether Komachi responds or not, it feels like a devastating blow to her! As expected of the club president, she came up with such a terrible and vicious plan so easily!

Hachiman Hikigaya said, "It's not something interesting, so I clicked the skip button."

"So you resign yourself to fate because you can't struggle anymore? When have the generals I know ever been so dejected? You should be a salted fish struggling with all your might until you're powerless!" The white figure looked puzzled. "What changed your shape, making you so loose and weak?!"

"It's because I have a deep respect for the minister."

Hachiman Hikigaya kept his eyes straight ahead and changed the subject, asking, "So, what does the minister want with me?"

Hold back, observe secretly, understand, and find out the truth...

You can't ask if superpowers exist!

You can't ask the minister if he's Yoshikage Kira!

Damn, everyone's just using JoJo's Bizarre Adventure references, so why might the club president be serious?!

Chapter 133 Too Long to Read: Should We Silence Them?!

"Our General Armament High Assistance Department, the first organization in the world founded by me, is about to do something big today."

As they walked, the tall buildings gradually decreased, the atmosphere became increasingly mysterious, people started disappearing, news reports began, and unsolved cases emerged...

The white figure led the way, while Hachiman Hikigaya followed behind, feeling a little uneasy. He wondered if his decision to follow was the right one, but it seemed pointless whether he wanted to or not, since the club president had come knocking on his door...

The strange contents recorded in that notebook, the subtle contradictions that vaguely resonate with me, the world that seems so strange and bizarre, beyond my comprehension.

Did Mai Sakurajima disappear before? And then reappear? I seem to have witnessed the indirect effects of her being forgotten, and then I seem to have forgotten about it myself? I wrote that notebook myself... If we assume this is possible, then let's expand our thinking in this direction.

The cat likes the minister, but the minister dislikes the cat.

The minister liked hands, but there was no mysterious disappearance under the snow.

The minister doesn't seem to be the same as Yoshikage Kira...

Summarizing all those fleeting guesses and details, as a solitary observer, it seems I've noticed something extraordinary!

In a flash of lightning, Hachiman Hikigaya stopped in his tracks, following the white figure that had halted ahead, and discovered that two people were already waiting there.

Too long to read... oh no, it should be Angelina from Anxin Academy, and a strange young man, with four spray backpacks on the ground... those manual pesticide spraying tools.

"Minister, what are we doing?"

Hachiman Hikigaya felt a little relieved. He looked around curiously. The scenery was nice, the road was clear, the view was wide, and there was a mountain in the distance. He could vaguely see the steps leading up the mountain and the vermilion shrine.

It had just rained yesterday, and the roads were a bit muddy. The air after the rain was exceptionally crisp, and there were hardly any pedestrians around.

"Simply put, it's doing volunteer work." Bai Ying patted the sprayer backpack and explained, "The stuff inside is a kind of drying agent that can quickly absorb moisture and then break it down into invisible particles, thus drying the ground and the environment..."

"Uh...why do we need to do this?" Hachiman Hikigaya was completely baffled.

White Shadow: "Clean up the battlefield."

Angelina: "Exercising."

Props maker: "To create a sales platform."

"..." Hachiman Hikigaya said meaningfully, "It is said that there is a form of group activity that makes students provide free labor, euphemistically called social practice, including but not limited to blood donation, internships, etc."

"Is there anything wrong with that? Experiencing social manipulation at such a young age, preparing for a life of hard labor in the future." Bai Ying scratched his chin. "This is very much a social practice."

Hachiman Hikigaya hesitated and asked, "Since it's in the name of the Aid Department, could it be a match against Yukinoshita?"

"No, not at all," Bai Ying said. "It's just that this place is too nice."

It is indeed a good place to kill and bury the body.

Hachiman Hikigaya suppressed the thought that had just crossed his mind: "What's so good about it?"

"Wouldn't it be wonderful to place two Gatling guns with fireworks at the entrance to the mountain road leading to the shrine, which would be enough to block off the entire viewing area?"

Bai Ying clenched her fist, her face full of excitement.

Hachiman Hikigaya nodded and said, "Oh... can I call the police directly?"

"Ha! Want to be a traitor? You'll have to live to say that!" Bai Ying stretched out a hand to the side and shouted, "Props master, bring on the fireworks!"

The prop master expressionlessly pulled a long, thin firework tube from his bag.

Bai Ying took the firework tube, shoved it into Angelina's hand, took three steps back, and ordered, "It's too long to read aloud. Let Hachiman see what's going on."

"?"

Angelina froze, glancing incredulously at the white figure, then at the prop master, and finally at Hachiman Hikigaya, whose face was full of doubt and wariness.

Judging from the tone of the superior officer, the behavior of the prop master's superior, and the familiar fireworks that ended up in his hands.

Angelina tentatively handed over the fireworks: "Um, Hachiman, do you want to play with fireworks?"

Hachiman Hikigaya slowly stepped back: "I apologize for declining."

"Too long to read! Don't be afraid! Light it! Let Hachiman experience what it means to be himself amidst fireworks!"

The white figure cheered loudly, the sound fading into the distance.

The prop master suddenly said, "I just lit the fire."

"Ok?"

Angelina looked down and saw that the firework tube was emitting a light smoke and some hissing sparks.

"Hey hey hey hey ee ee ee ee ee—!!!"

With a terrified scream, Angelina instinctively raised her hand and flung it forcefully. The firework tube traced a graceful arc before falling to the location of the white figure.

"Holy crap?!"

Bang bang bang bang!

After a spectacular and deadly six-bar blast, Bai Ying demonstrated the safety of fireworks through her actions.

Wow, these are fireworks that won't hurt anyone! Technology is advancing so fast these days... That's probably what I used to think.

This must be a superpower! That's what I think now.

……

"Finish the job today, and I'll give you a free box of fireworks ammunition: twenty fireworks grenades, three fireworks AKs, and one fireworks Gatling gun. After all, it'd be too boring if you didn't put up a fight during the fireworks festival, hehehehehe—!"

"A fireworks display? The minister is planning to help Yukinoshita?"

"Brave?"

Bai Ying took out his phone and dialed a number, saying loudly, "Tsk tsk, a coward who doesn't even dare to defy the heavens, just because it rained, he's already planning to change locations, a mediocre person who is always trembling with fear and doesn't want to make any mistakes."

While spraying a special desiccant to quickly dry the ground, which had a high moisture content, he held his cell phone, which was on the phone, and pointed out things to someone.

[White Fungus, what are you trying to say?]

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice, though gentle, is filled with murderous intent.

"I mean, in order to solve the hero's problem, I have come to the vicinity of the Ruri Shrine to remove the moisture and turn it into an excellent location for a fireworks festival!"

Are you kidding me?

"What do you mean 'joking'? You know nothing about technological advancements—that's just how it is. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself later."

"Of course I need to investigate, you..."

Bai Ying hung up the phone, a broad smile on her face.

Hmm? Does Yukinoshita know that the minister is planning to turn the fireworks festival into an arms race?

During the work of Hikigaya Hachiman, there was a hint of tattling in his mind. Given Yukinoshita's serious and earnest style, she would definitely reprimand and stop the minister's behavior severely, right?

Thinking about it, I decided against it. Yukinoshita's fighting strength is somewhat weak, and besides, given the minister's style, he would definitely try to organize a fireworks competition. My little report might not be useful—it's definitely not because these fireworks look fun.

Hachiman Hikigaya relaxed, and the white shadow withdrew its scrutinizing gaze. It was a pity that they hadn't caught any fish.

"Hachiman, have you heard?"

Bai Ying's voice became mysterious.

Hachiman Hikigaya asked warily, "What did you hear?"

“Yuihama is going to confess her feelings to you,” the white-clad figure said seriously. “This is firsthand information from me.”

"what?"

Hachiman Hikigaya chuckled, "When did the captain's tricks become so straightforward and monotonous? Trying to trick me into misunderstanding and making a big joke of myself is underestimating me. I'm not the kind of person who's overly self-conscious, who immediately believes a girl likes him and gets excited without any rationality."

After several days of rest and recuperation, the generals' rebellious nature has become increasingly hardened.
