Uneasy daily life

[Sakurajima Mai: I'm busy with the sports festival, and besides, Yukinoshita's reputation is so bad that none of my classmates are approaching me, and I have no interest in approaching them.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Sister, it seems like I've made quite a few friends...]

[Sakurajima Mai: It's okay, you acted very well. We're just friends. There won't be any problems when we switch back. After all, I'm not as awkward as Yukinoshita.]

[Yukinoshita: Sakurajima is the truly awkward one.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: My older sister isn't as awkward as you!]

[White Warrior: Exactly, you're such a weirdo!]

[Under the Snow: The white fungus that pretends not to understand is also awkward.]

[Not at all like Hua: Xiao Yang is not awkward at all. He eats when he's hungry, drinks when he's hungry, sleeps when he's hungry, lives a carefree life, and has friends all over the school.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: ?!]

[Toyohama Kazuka: What have you done with my body again?!]

[It's not just about Hua: I'm currently trying to make friends, and it's progressing well. I've already made ten friends, all of them cute and fun girls. Don't worry, there aren't any rumors like 'Hua-chan has a boyfriend, or that he's so-and-so from so-and-so'.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: You'd be lucky to find a boy in an all-girls school!]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Wait a minute! You're going to make me friends at school? Ten of them?!]

[Bai Yongzhe: That's indeed a bit few. Although three people are enough to form an organization, if we want to grow bigger and stronger, we need to make more good friends. Only with a large number of people can we expect to achieve great things.]

[Not just Hehua: I'll try to make more friends, form the Hehua Party, take over as class monitor in half a month, join the student council in a month, and sideline the student council president before the end of this semester. Then, when the time is right, I'll take over.]

[White Brave: Good. 】

[Toyohama Kazuka: What a joke!]

[Not Kazuka: Huh? Isn't Kazuka-chan exactly like that? I think I acted very well.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Where do they look alike?]

[Not just Kaori: You have excellent grades, are cute, and are a member of an idol group at such a young age. You must have outstanding social skills, be very popular at school, good at socializing, and have many friends—I think the character understanding is correct.]

[Under the Snow: At first glance, it seems to make some sense.]

[Sakurajima Mai: Kazuha is still pretty amazing.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: These are all problems!!]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Does excellent academic performance have anything to do with being popular? Does being cute have anything to do with being popular? We get along well with everyone in the group, but it has nothing to do with social skills! I'm busy with my studies and spend a lot of time practicing singing and dancing, so I don't have much time at school. I don't have any close friends at all. You've completely misunderstood!]

[Not at all, Kazuha: Oh, is that so? I'll break off all ties with them publicly tomorrow and never speak to them again, so I won't cause Kazuha any trouble.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Climb!]

That wretched heavy snow must be deliberately playing tricks on me!

Sakurajima Mai (Waka) rolled over in bed, fuming for a while before getting a headache, then her mind cleared up.

Anyway, once I switch back, I'll definitely be back to being busy with this and that, and those unfamiliar friends will naturally drift away, so it's not a big problem.

The important thing is to play the role of 'Sakurajima Mai' well.

Excellent grades, very popular, kind personality, famous star, large fan base, outstanding performer, flawless mature image...

Well, I'm a mature older sister now, I won't stoop to the level of Daiyuki.

Yukino Yukinoshita popped up in the group chat.

[Under the Snow: Impressions and reality are always quite different. Living as the older sister lately has been strange in many ways—what kind of person is the older sister? What are your thoughts?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Fair-skinned but cunning, enjoys playing pranks, not a kind person.]

The resentment runs deep.

Yukino Yukinoshita subtly empathized with what Yukino felt.

Mai Sakurajima: Very talented.

She used to be someone who helped Yukino, but now... she's become Yukino's formidable rival who betrays her.

[Not just Kazuha: Sweet little Haruno, piercing your heart, biu~]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Aaaaaah! You're dead, dead, dead, dead, dead!]

[White Warrior: Warrior, stop beating around the bush. You're being quite loud. Aren't you just wondering why your sister seems a bit isolated?]

[Under the Snow: What are your thoughts, Haku-kun?]

[Not at all, just kidding: Isn't this normal? Yukino-chan, you're making a fuss over nothing. University courses are more relaxed and allow for more freedom, unlike junior and senior high school which emphasize classwork. During my first semester of university, I went on a trip to Jindo and didn't care about relationships afterward. I declined all invitations to social events and parties. After that, a summer passed, and I didn't have many connections at school. Isn't that perfectly reasonable?]

[That's not Kazuha: Yukino-chan was just talking about others, but when it comes to herself, she's all confused~]

[Yukinoshita: I asked the teacher to copy the class slides. I'll send them to my sister later. Remember to catch up on the lessons; I'll check your homework.]

[Not by Kazuha: Yukinoshita-sensei, due to unforeseen circumstances, we'll have to skip the homework.]

[Yukinoshita: No.]

[White Warrior: You have this kind of arrogant, domineering attitude, like you're taking over from your older sister—Warrior, are you laughing?]

[Under the Snow: Why did Haku-kun change his nickname?]

[White Warrior: Yeah, you should change your name to Snow Demon King.]

[Yukinoshita: ?]

[Sakurajima Mai: In the battle between the White Hero and the Snow Demon King, swords flashed and shadows danced, forbidden spells and magic flew together. The White Hero clashed with each strike, shouting, "Those who follow the righteous path will find many helpers, while those who stray from it will find few." The Snow Demon King coldly replied, "Indeed." In that instant, the Hachiman monk punched the White Hero through from behind. The Snow Demon King pressed his advantage, causing the White Hero to fall in defeat, filled with resentment...]

[Yukinoshita: ? ?]

[Sakurajima Mai: It seems that the inspiration for Zaimokuza's novel came from the banter between Yukinoshita and the hater?]

[Yukinoshita: Strictly speaking, it was a debate, and it's not that strange... If it were Zaimokuza-kun, it wouldn't be strange at all.]

[Not Just Flower: And then? The hero was captured by the Demon King and taken back to the Demon King's castle to become his subordinate. However, she overestimated the hero's strength and underestimated his ability to cause trouble. As a result, the hero used the Demon King's name to stir up trouble, and the Demon King unknowingly became the enemy of the world. He truly lived up to his name, which is quite gratifying.]

[Sakurajima Mai: This development is quite interesting; it can be used as a reference or suggestion.]

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) was browsing the chat while diving, then turned over and stared at her phone screen.

Watching people have fun is indeed a form of entertainment.

Under this wretched heavy snow, I wish you fail your exams, get a scolding by the ear when you get home, be sent to cram school, and never be reincarnated.

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana) hadn't been laughing for long when she suddenly realized that the group chat topic had turned to her.

[Sakurajima Mai: I'll be shooting a commercial soon, is it okay with flowers?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: No problem! I definitely won't let my sister down!]

[Not Kazuha: Kazuha-chan, your mom called and asked me to come home. It should be okay for me to come home, right?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Of course there's a problem! I'm rejecting it!]

[It's not Kazuha: But I already agreed.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Are you trying to pick a fight?!]

[That's not Kazuha: Kazuha-chan, don't worry, of course I'm on your side. I won't put on any mother-daughter drama. You'll definitely nail the 'rebellious girl' image.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: I don't believe it!]

[Not Hehua: Don't worry, wait until we get home, and you'll hear what I have to say...]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Hey! Don't do anything reckless!]

[White Warrior: With 9528's ability to wield Frostmourne, I imagine after a few words, it will be a scenario of mother and daughter parting ways, being kicked out of the house, severing ties, and becoming complete strangers.]

[White Warrior: Inspiration strikes! I'm so excited!]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Hey! You bastard, are you trying to cause trouble?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Where are you all? Come out here!]

Neither of them continued to post, and it was unclear whether they were lurking and watching him rant, or preparing some kind of scheme.

Bastard + Self playing the role under the heavy snow + Mother = ?

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but bump her head against the headboard. Now she couldn't lie flat anymore!

She immediately got up, stormed out, and hurled a tirade at the doorbell next door.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

Before the doors even opened, the elevator dinged, and a uniformed waiter carrying a bag came out, glanced at the door number, and walked straight in.

Did you order takeout?

"It wasn't me. Was the person who ordered takeout named Bai Ying? Give it to me, I'll pass it on to him."

"Thank you for your help."

After thanking them a few times, the busy waiter hurriedly ran back before the elevator doors closed.

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) continued to ring the doorbell with a dark expression.

"I'm coming--"

After a series of thumping footsteps, the door opened, and the white figure revealed a warm welcome, then met Sakurajima Mai's (Wahana's) fiery gaze.

Bai Ying slammed the door shut a crack, peered through the gap at the takeout bag in her hand, and asked, "When did you become a takeout delivery girl?"

"Let me in..."

I didn't order 'Sakurajima Mai' from my takeout order.

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana): #!

"Old grudges and new hatreds! Today is your death day, you bastard, Sine—!"

Sakurajima Mai (Waka) peeked through the crack in the door, gritting her teeth, trying to break it down.

A savage atmosphere pervades the air, reminiscent of the traditional beauty of primitive people who married after a period of intimacy.

"Calm down! You can't!" Bai Ying shouted frantically, trying to hold the door shut. "Isn't it just that you find your mother both annoying and close, and are afraid that 9528's actions will cause you to lose your mother? I can feel your deep filial piety towards your mother! Don't feel ashamed, and don't think you're being pathetic..."

The pressure on the door suddenly eased, and a loud bang came from next door as the door slammed shut.

"Wait a minute! My midnight snack!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: Getting a New Nickname

"I am coming."

"climb."

"If you tell me to come and I come, if you tell me to climb and I climb, wouldn't I lose face?"

"Huh? When did you get the nerve?"

"Stickman, I advise you to behave yourself. Now you dare to steal my midnight snack and tell me to get out of there. If you don't use 'please' and 'you' when you speak later, I won't approve."

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Okay, then I'll go."

The white figure turned around with a sigh: "Poor stick figure, so young and already a child without a mother..."

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana): #!

"Get back here!"

"There was once a younger sister who admired her older sister. She accidentally replaced her sister in an advertisement shoot, but due to her poor acting skills, she kept making mistakes and couldn't fulfill the contract, forcing her to pay a penalty. This news was seized upon by reporters chasing clicks, and within days it made the front page headlines: 'Shocking! Mai Sakurajima is all show and no substance, lacking professional ability!' 'Fake talented actress, real idol' 'Film director acts like a diva, unable to fulfill contract, the true face of Mai Sakurajima'..."

The white figure read aloud in a narrative tone, then walked to the door and reached out to press the doorknob.

"Please! Climb! Back!

Mai Sakurajima (Waka) is meticulous with her words and very kind.

The white figure turned around: "Late at night, a woman robbed her neighbor's takeout. The woman turned out to be Mai Sakurajima. What's the reason behind this...?"

"Eat here."

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) placed the takeout on the table with a disgruntled expression. Anger sparked a flash of brilliance in her mind, and she revealed a menacing smile, gesturing with her lip, "Hey! Eat up!"

"okay!"

Bai Ying returned to the dining table and sat down, easily and happily unpacking her takeout.
