Uneasy daily life

Feng Bin and Hua touched the ground with their toes to ease the pain, and said irritably, "Who wants to play such a childish game with you?"

"Surrendering without a fight, you mere stick figure." The white figure lowered his leg regretfully, then said, "Are you planning to go back? Not waiting for the Hero Plus?"

"elder sister……"

Feng Bin and Hua Lian looked somewhat troubled: "Didn't my sister not know that Auntie was our agent? Besides, she's quite busy right now..."

Bai Ying suddenly frowned, her gaze sharpening as she realized that things were not so simple.

Behind the door of Yukinoshita's house.

Two heads were poking behind the peephole, observing the situation in the corridor and eavesdropping on the conversation between the two people.

"They acted so well..."

The real Toyohama Kazuka, bearing the appearance of Sakurajima Mai, couldn't help but mutter a comment: "Dayukinoshita seems to be quite the actress."

“I have some special experiences.” Yukino Yukinoshita, wearing the appearance of Yukino Yukinoshita Haruno, observed the situation in the corridor through the peephole. Usually, Shiro and Toyohama would play around and joke around, which seemed normal. But when she thought that Toyohama was now her older sister, she felt that this kind of playful fighting was quite strange.

Yukino Yukinoshita changed the subject: "In short, my older sister used to play the 'good daughter' in our mother's eyes, and in terms of acting skills, she was indeed very good."

“Oh…” Feng Binhua muttered, “No wonder I can’t be an actor and can only debut as an idol. I’m really not good at playing good kids.”

“This has nothing to do with whether or not you play a good child,” Yukino Yukinoshita corrected. “If you really want to become an actress, you should focus on how to improve yourself, instead of denying that you are not good enough. Nothing is born knowing how to do something. If I had to choose… well, I’m not sure about your views on your past experiences, but for me, exchanging those experiences for acting skills would be more painful than simply learning acting skills.”

"...That's true."

Feng Bin and Hua were a little annoyed by the scolding, but the thought of being able to play the role of a good child in front of their mothers made them feel extremely awkward and gave them goosebumps.

She changed the subject: "Do you think the jerk can recognize it?"

Yukino Yukinoshita watched the two bickering and arguing in the hallway, her tone gradually turning cold: "My sister's acting skills are indeed very strong, and with this incredible thing happening, something that falls outside the knowledge of ordinary people, it's not impossible for Shiro-kun to recognize her, given the vast difference in the breadth of Shiro-kun's thinking compared to humans..."

Feng Bin and Hua frowned and summarized their meaning: "You mean, you don't know?"

"Correct."

"Then why are you rambling on like this?" Feng Binhehua pouted. "Don't you get tired of talking so much?"

"It's better than being a fool who thinks a lot but can't express a single word."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Mai Sakurajima's face and instinctively snapped back.

Feng Bin and Hua glared at each other: "Who are you calling an idiot?"

"What do you say?"

"Stupid bounce back!"

"Really..." Yukino Yukinoshita swallowed the rest of her words, speechless, "Did you get infected by the white fungus?"

"...Ahem, keep reading—oh no! That bastard seems to have noticed something's wrong!"

The two of them moved closer to the cat and focused their attention on observing it.

So, does this count as spying or eavesdropping? Hmm, probably not... After all, it's my sister who wanted to do this, so what does it prove anyway? Would Bai Jun be happy if he recognized her, or unhappy if he didn't? It's completely meaningless.

As Yukino Yukinoshita pondered, she heard a sudden question from a white figure.

"Speak! Are you Bai Yinghua?!"

"Huh?" Feng Bin and Hua looked completely bewildered. "Who is Bai Yinghua? What's wrong with you now?"

"You've been exposed," the white-clad figure sneered. "I told the stick figure about the white hibiscus!"

"Have it?"

Feng Bin and Hua frowned and said, "I don't remember. What kind of fabricated memories are you giving me? Are you looking for trouble?"

(Yukino Yukinoshita: Do you know about white hibiscus flowers?)

(Toyohama Kazuka: I feel like I know, but I also feel like I don't... Who is Shiroi-ka?)

"Indeed, I only mentioned it to the stick figure, and given her meticulous nature, she's probably completely forgotten about it." The white-clad figure said, hands behind her back, her gaze piercing. "You've revealed your most serious flaw—Feng Bin and Hua! When did your feelings for your sister change?"

Feng Bin and Hua glanced at him sideways: "Get up!"

"You have a mix of longing, liking, and dislike for Hero Plus. After resolving some inner conflicts and getting closer to each other, this longing has evolved into something else..." Bai Ying slowly paced around, speaking clearly and logically. "Distance creates beauty, and there is beauty in closeness and beauty in distance. You have experienced both kinds of beauty—the idol you admire, your half-sister, the person who gently helped you, and your roommate under the same roof... You crave a closer, more concrete, more real, and more possessive touch."

Why does Toyohama and Hana always get angry with me?

Why does Toyohama and Hana have such a complex and mixed feeling towards Hero Plus?

"Why is it that Toyohama Kazuka finds it so hard to tolerate the 'betrayal' of the Hero Plus, even if it's just a possibility, that she's willing to run here in the rain?"

"There is only one answer!"

The white figure pointed a finger and declared with imposing authority: "Toyohama and Hana harbor forbidden and immoral feelings for Hero Plus! Your acting is good, but you can't portray the emotions when Hero Plus is mentioned—"

Kazuka Toyohama stared in shock, her eyes wide. Kazuka-chan was actually thinking about something so interesting and exciting?!

"You are 9528, not Fengbin and Hua!"

The corridor became quiet.

pat.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and an angry Mai Sakurajima rushed out.

"Sinner! You're the one who's forbidden and immoral! You're the one who only has one answer! Don't look at me—I really didn't think about such disgusting things! Absolutely not!"

Her voice contained not only anger, but also a slight sob from feeling slandered, and a hint of self-doubt.

The white figure, who was being chased around, chuckled: "You don't actually believe that, do you?"

very good!

Today, it's either you die or I live!

With the strong help of Toyohama and Hana, they managed to bring Sakurajima Mai under control. Then, Yukinoshita, still reeling from the shock, invited the three of them into the house to discuss the incident in detail.

"The statement above already represents a tremendous change."

Bai Ying crossed her legs and said, "So, the stick figure is 9528, the Brave Plus is the stick figure, and 9528 is the Brave?"

“That’s right.” Yukinoshita Haruno nodded slightly. “Does Haku-kun have any clues?”

Bai Ying retorted, dissatisfied, "What about me?"

Yukinoshita Yono: "?"

Feng Bin and Hana asked with a smile, "Something very interesting has happened, but it has nothing to do with a certain person—does the bastard know who it is?"

"So why not me? Who are you looking down on? Show your puberty syndrome!"

The white shadow protested vehemently against the air.

"Come out here and let me switch! If that doesn't work, we can take turns! If you don't come out, I'll sue you for bullying!"

There was no change in the air.

Under the snow, Yang sighed softly.

I always felt that it was a stroke of luck that Baijun didn't turn into anyone. If Baijun had turned me into someone else, even if I could switch back, my life would probably be over.

Ding dong——!

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Sakurajima Mai...

Oh no, I should say Yukino Yukinoshita has arrived.

Chapter Fourteen: Old Ginger Stir-fried with Pork

"Another case of puberty syndrome? Ha..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's smile held a hint of helplessness: "Do I have some special connection with puberty syndrome?"

“The world is vast, and perhaps many people are experiencing puberty syndrome while unknowingly mitigating its effects,” Bai Ying said indignantly. “Judging from the way that guy casually mentioned ‘gift,’ she has probably spread puberty syndrome quite a bit. Why don’t I get it? She really looks down on me.”

"That rascal?"

Yukino looked at herself, feeling extremely awkward, and immediately pressed for details about who the culprit was.

"It's probably some kind of superpowered individual. After the Hero Plus's puberty syndrome was cured, they pretended to be the Hero Plus and wandered around in front of me for a bit, then disappeared without a trace. Last night I had a strange dream, and when I woke up, you all had changed your appearances. Based on my deduction, it's probably that guy who gave you all the puberty syndrome—except for me! Damn it!"

Bai Ying snorted, "I'm going to give her an awful nickname—I'll call her Stingy!"

Dream……

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the white figure with considerable surprise.

"Alright, this isn't anything fun, Baijun, don't make things worse."

Yukino looked around with a particularly troubled expression. They were all familiar faces, yet they didn't seem so familiar. Her impressions didn't match her expectations, and she felt completely confused and awkward.

“Judging from the current situation, I have become Yukinoshita, Kazuha has become me, Yukinoshita has become Yukinoshita’s older sister, and Yukinoshita’s older sister has become Kazuha…” Yukinoshita Yukino glanced around subtly, and couldn’t help but raise her hand to rub her temples.

With a cold expression and slightly furrowed brows, Yukinoshita Haruno is trying her best to analyze the current situation and speak up in an attempt to bring the parties involved back to a normal discussion.

On the other sofa, the two sisters were sitting together. Toyohama and Hana were all smiles and were touching and touching Sakurajima Mai inappropriately, completely taking the lead. Sakurajima Mai looked angry and would occasionally bristle and struggle to protest.

It's all too confusing in every sense.

"Now, Hero Plus has to call 9528 'little sister,' Hero has to call the Stickman 'big sister,' 9528 has to call Hero 'big sister,' and the Stickman has to call 9528 'big sister'..."

Bai Ying did some calculations and shook her head, commenting, "The circle of girlfriends is really chaotic."

"It's quite a mess, and this situation probably won't be resolved anytime soon." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded her chin and chuckled. "In daily life, you definitely have to be careful about how you address people in front of them, and you also have to remember who is who in private. You probably have to be able to tell the difference clearly in your mind. If you accidentally say something wrong..."

Bai Ying gave an example: "For instance, in front of the eldest brother, Yukino Yukinoshita called Yukinoshita Haruno 'You Yukinoshita' directly... Tsk tsk tsk, the eldest brother's expression must have been quite interesting."

"Ha..." Yukinoshita Haruno started to get a headache thinking about her trip home today. "So, is there any way to get rid of puberty syndrome?"

"What's there to solve?" Toyohama Kazuka said with a grin. "Yukino-chan can go to school and study in my place, sing and play instruments at the entertainment hall, and I can even debut as an idol using Kazuka-chan's appearance. I'll look three years younger all of a sudden, so why would I need to solve it?"

Sakurajima Mai fought back fiercely, grabbing Toyohama Kazuka's face and crying out indignantly, "Give me back my body!"

"Whether this is related to Hana-chan's body is another matter." Toyohama Kazuka pinched back, "It's also possible that it's like plastic surgery, it's still her own body, just with some changes."

"This is hardly a change!"

Sakurajima Mai gritted her teeth: "Damn it, think of a way to solve this!"

"Hello, the Doraemon you called is not in service. There is a message here—Ding! Want your wish to come true? Then go find the Dragon Balls. I have placed them in the hands of seven powerful ninjas in the ninja world!"

Bai Ying shouted enthusiastically, then lay down and collapsed, saying, "But what does this have to do with someone like me who has no desires? I'm not convinced! Why am I not included? This is unfair!"

I'm already a useless fish waiting to be pickled.

Feng Bin and Hua raised their hands and poked: "Hey hey~ Is the blow really that big? Let me show you your hand."

"Tired of it."

Bai Ying, seemingly uninterested, suddenly sat up: "Speaking of which, shouldn't you all change your names now, to make them easier to remember? If 'Hero Plus' is now in Hero form, we'll call you Yukinoshita Mai; if 'Stickman' is in Hero Plus form, we'll call you Sakurajima Kazuka; and if '9528' is in Stickman form, we'll call you Toyohama Haruno. Hero..."

Bai Ying looked at Yukinoshita Haruno's skin and hesitated for a moment: "Yukinoshita Haruno?"

"Let's talk about puberty syndrome."

Yukinoshita ignored the white figure and pondered, "I don't know much about it. I only know that the symptoms of puberty syndrome may be related to certain psychological states. Does Sakurajima have any clues about this?"

"A clue..."

Yukino Yukinoshita calmly said, "There's a clue, but we haven't figured out the real situation yet. It's also possible that the hater is being targeted, which is why the people around him are experiencing puberty syndrome?"

"Hmm? Very likely."

Bai Ying took out her phone and made a call.

A moment later, the call was finally answered after a long delay.

[Minister, is everything alright?]

The white figure asked in a serious tone, "Hachiman, who are you?"

Who do you think I am?

"You are Hachiman Daibosatsu!" The white figure slapped his thigh. "The very origin of the universe, the embodiment of the truth of the world, the ultimate answer to all questions, the cyclical destiny that is both the beginning and the end..."

pat.

Hachiman Hikigaya hung up the phone.

"It seems he hasn't changed at all."
