Uneasy daily life

Through the security door, Bai Ying shouted loudly, "What happens in dreams is none of my business!"

"fart!"

An even louder shout followed, accompanied by the sound of the doorbell being rang. Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) gritted her teeth and demanded, "You must have made that dream! Who else but you bastard could come up with such an outrageous plot?!"

"I already said it wasn't me! The specific content of a dream cannot be manipulated!" the white figure roared back. "In my opinion, it was clearly you who did it!"

"what?!"

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) stopped ringing the doorbell and banged on the door: "Don't make false accusations! I'm not seriously ill!"

"Hmph, since you won't admit it, then I, Detective Baiying, will make you cry your eyes out and kneel down in repentance!" Baiying sneered, speaking through the door, "You must have thought about it, right? How wonderful it would be if you and Hero Plus were sisters—can you deny it? You can't! So, the fact that that kind of scenario appeared in your dream is clearly your fault!"

"You want to become even closer to Hero Plus, and be listed on the same household register, which is why so many people congratulated you and Hero Plus in your dream!"

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) lost her composure as her momentum waned.

These mere stick figures are no match for me...

"If one of Kaname's thoughts becomes part of a dream, then Black Fan is another part, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita (Kaname)'s smiling voice drifted in. "Black Fan, how do you think Kaname and I can become sisters?"

Bai Ying blurted out, "Your mom remarried."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Bang! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

Sakurajima Mai (Waka) banged on the doorbell: "Come out and face your death!"

"Am I stupid? No, you're the stupid one."

A sentence drifted out from the other end of the door, instantly overwhelming the doorbell.

"Everyone, calm down and think about it carefully! Can things in a dream really be considered a big deal? Besides, there are three of us who dreamed, and everyone has a share in the dream's content!" Bai Ying said logically. "The stick figure had a wish, and I fulfilled it for her. Brave Plus borrowed classic elements from EVA to create the dream, which resulted in the scene in the dream. Aren't we all in cahoots?"

“Yes, we’re in this together,” Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said with a gentle smile. “Why isn’t Hater-kun opening the door yet?”

Bai Ying pondered for a moment and said, "I sensed a dangerous undertone in your voice."

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) gritted her teeth and said, "Oh? You really have a lot of hearing functions!"

Bai Ying curled her lip and said, "This is called synesthesia, a rhetorical device in writing, just like how you, who are illiterate, are not really blind."

"Hey hater, open the door."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) asked with a smile, "Aren't we on the same side?"

The attitude of the hero plus is a bit subtle...

The white figure tiptoed and looked out through the peephole.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) smiled, seemingly noticing the change in the light and darkness of the peephole. She leaned closer to the door, stood on tiptoe, and looked through the peephole, asking with a smile, "Black Fan, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"

Clearly, witnessing the wedding scene, the brave plus openly opposes the pairing of his mother and Flower's mother, and is severely traumatized, his rationality completely gone.

If the scene that makes a stick figure wish it could explode and turn into pale ash on the spot is 'Oh my god,' then the scene that makes a hero plus wish he could erase his dream memories is 'The wedding of Sakurajima's mother and Toyohama's mother.'

"To be honest, the one who wants to be sisters with Hero Plus is Stick Figure. That scene where everyone claps around someone and says 'Oh my god,' should come from Hero Plus's memory of a classic scene. You guys should be bickering with each other, why are you bothering me?"

Bai Ying sighed, "Learn to see beyond the surface and grasp the essence. Even if I have a 1% problem, are you immune to 99% errors?"

Then it became a besieged city, with those inside wanting to get out and those outside wanting to get in.

key?

The key is, of course, in the hands of the real landlord.

"Ah sneeze——!"

Yukino Yukinoshita covered her mouth and sneezed. Had she caught a cold? She didn't feel anything wrong with her body.

"Maybe Sakurajima is the one who's stabbing you in the back."

Kazuka Toyohama (Yono), who had just gotten off the train, suggested, "Yukino-chan, why don't you make a little doll and stick it up too?"

“Sakurajima wouldn’t do that kind of thing, and even if she were to be a partner, it shouldn’t be me.”

Yukino Yukinoshita defended her rival and handed over the schoolbag hanging on her shoulder.

"Homework and notes?"

"Ah."

"Yukino-chan might grow up to be like her mother."

Yukino Yukinoshita did not answer. Wasn't her mother very powerful? There's nothing wrong with that.

"The kind of thing where your rebellious daughter betrays you."

Toyohama Kazuka (Yono) added with a smile.

"Nonsense, utterly meaningless."

Yukino Yukinoshita commented, "Having children and being a mother is such a distant prospect; it's incredibly difficult to even imagine... If I had a child, how would I raise him/her? Knowledge and character are definitely important to cultivate. The former can be reflected in academic performance, and the latter in social skills. So, I would require him/her to excel academically and be able to make friends..."

Hmm? As I think about it, my actions are starting to resemble my mother's?

Yukinoshita Harano (Yukino) has a subtle expression.

A finger poked her cheek, leaving a shallow dimple. Yukinoshita glanced sideways and saw a pretty face with a mischievous smile. Her blonde ponytail tied to the side added to her playful charm.

"Wow, wow, this is incredible! Yukino-chan is even ready to have a baby!"

"—!" Yukino Yukinoshita froze, while a hazy mist soared into the sky. "No, no! I was just thinking about all sorts of issues related to parenting..."

"Wow, wow, this is incredible! I never expected that twenty-year-old Haruno could make such a cute expression. As expected of me~"

Yukino Yukinoshita's face tightened. She took a deep breath to suppress her emotions and calmed down a bit: "Sister!"

First, let's clarify the cause and effect. You brought up that embarrassing topic first, which led me to connect it to the past; it wasn't me who thought of it first...

With her schoolbag on her back, Toyohama Kazuka (Yono) had already run more than ten meters away.

My sister is getting more and more infuriating! Not only has she not changed her twisted hobby, but her condition has worsened—it must be caused by the fungal infection!

Yukino Yukinoshita (Yukino) strode after him in annoyance.

[Moving...]

The scene shifts, and the two sisters bump into the two sisters who are blocking the door.

Yukino Yukinoshita was not surprised. She reached out and took out her key to open the door. It would be strange if Shiro-kun didn't make people angry... If he really didn't make people angry, he would always make strange things happen. There would probably be more rivals in his love life.

Although I'm sure I'll win.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Bai Ying's Amazing Acting Room."

The white figure sat in the living room, looking like he had been waiting for a long time: "9528, Hero, did anything funny happen during your role-playing? For example, Hero appeared in the Starry Sky with a cold face, causing others to think you were in a bad mood, which made the atmosphere very tense, so Hero Pro crawled into the trash can and performed the Goto Ichiri Disappearance Technique..."

"No." Yukino Yukinoshita tugged at her short sideburns and said coldly, "Without Haku-kun's presence, strange things are relatively rare..."

Bai Ying stroked his chin and said, "Where did the Brave Pro go? Please don't avoid the question."

Yukino Yukinoshita said irritably, "...She seems to have mistakenly thought that I was dissatisfied with her, and suddenly she looked sad and offered me the guitar."

Bai Ying said knowingly, "Oh, you collect protection money."

Yukino Yukinoshita said speechlessly, "She's being too sensitive, insisting on paying protection money... How are things going for you guys?"

"Nothing particularly interesting has happened to me." Toyohama Kazuka (Yono) leaned back on the sofa casually, spreading her arms in a boss-like manner. "I just became the leader of Sweet Bullets, moved home and received praise from Kazuka-chan's mom, who praised me three times a day. I've made many friends at school, and I've successfully infiltrated the student council. I'm just one opportunity away from becoming the student council president..."

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) widened her eyes and raised her hand to cover her chest.

"What...what are you doing?!"

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Twisted Monster's Love and Hate

The cosplay of Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) and Haruno Yukinoshita (Yukino) is decent, without being overly deliberate in trying to be a one-to-one replica. There are occasional slip-ups, but they are not a big problem. At least if the bodies were suddenly switched back, it wouldn't cause too much trouble for the actors.

The portrayals of Kazuka Toyohama (Yono) and Mai Sakurajima (Waka) highlight their dedication and high-intensity effort, putting in even more effort than when learning to do things based on their own appearances. They are determined to ensure that the characters they represent develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically in an all-round way, thus helping them become popular.

"First, make more friends in class, then perform well in your work and studies to become very popular, and then prove your excellence by joining the student council, running for class committee, etc..."

Kazuha Toyohama (Yono) analyzed each point one by one, then asked with a smile, "Why are you angry with Kazuha-chan? Aren't we the same?"

"Different."

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana)'s cheek twitched.

"How is it different? In your heart, Sakurajima Mai is a flawless, universally adored beauty, and so am I." Toyohama Kazuka (Yinno) patted her chest and said, "In my heart, there is only one sun, and that is the flawless, universally adored Kazuka-chan. To play your role well, Yinno will give it her all..."

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) was so angry that her breathing became heavy, and she decisively tried to drag someone into the mess: "Hey! Yukinoshita, your sister doesn't like you anymore!"

“If that’s the case, it would be a good thing.” Yukino Yukinoshita sighed. “If you’re not used to it, you’d better get used to it. The more she likes something, the more she’ll tease it.”

"Wahana can play any kind of 'Sakurajima Mai', it would be even better if she could bring out her personal style." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) crossed her arms and crossed her legs. "I've already talked to Black Fan about Wahana, and she understands it, so Yukinoshita doesn't need to worry too much."

"Huh?" Toyohama Kazuka (Yono) asked in surprise, "Kazuka-chan already knows that her portrayal of you doesn't resemble you at all?"

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana): "I'm really sorry for not acting well! Anyway, just shut up and don't continue..."

Kazuha Toyohama (Yono) solemnly said, "Okay, when I get back I'll forcefully quit the student council, resign from my position as leader of Sweet Bullet, have a huge fight with my aunt, and then run away from home..."

"Just keep acting the way you want!"

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) thought about her upcoming role as the older sister and couldn't help but grind her teeth several times over.

It's infuriating. I can't fight back, and if I accuse the other party of making things up, I feel like I'm insulting myself.

"Let's put these trivial matters aside for now." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the silent white figure and teased, "Is Haku-kun pretending to be possessed by someone?"

The white figure raised her face, revealing listless, dead fish eyes, and asked with a mixture of confusion and forced composure, "Hmm...? Yukinoshita? Where is this?"

They look remarkably alike.

"The hater has found something more interesting and probably doesn't care about his thoughts anymore."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said with her arms crossed, "I think I should tell you about 'Darkshine'."

Black light?

Slightly puzzled, the two observed the others and noticed each other's confusion.

I feel like an outsider.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) talked about the recent events concerning dreams and the mastermind behind the scenes. Of course, the specific details of the dreams were only briefly mentioned. The main point was that Shiro and the mastermind were in cahoots. The puberty syndrome was already troublesome enough, and now they were adding to the mental attack through dreams, causing trouble for both the body and the soul.

Bai Ying retorted that the fault did not lie with her, and that everyone had a share in the dream.

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana) has filed a formal complaint, accusing the person upstairs of being the culprit.

"So what did you dream about?"

Yukino Yukinoshita directly asked.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai)'s lips twitched slightly: "It's unbearable to recall."

Unbearable to recall?

Yukino Yukinoshita became slightly wary and asked calmly, "Why don't you just say what you want to say? There can't be anything shameful in a dream, right?"

Just as Bai Ying was about to speak, Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) retorted with an emotionless smile: "It's really unbearable to recall. Yukinoshita, you'd better not inquire about it anymore—and you're not allowed to say anything either, Black Fan. Later, I'll approve a few of your suggestions at the Executive Committee meeting, depending on the circumstances."

"it is good!"

Bai Ying readily agreed, then met Yukino Yukinoshita's (Yukino's) gaze. He reached his left hand to his mouth, made a zipping motion, and then shut his mouth with a straight face.

Something is wrong!

"Oh dear, did something unforgettable yet embarrassing happen in your dream?" Toyohama Kazuka (Yono) asked with a smile. "Kazuka-chan, what happened in your dream?"

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana): "No comment."

A dream is just a dream, but a dream this vividly remembered, involving multiple people, is definitely not a normal dream... What will Bai Jun do in the dream? Will he be unable to control the urge to lick his hand? Or will he not keep his distance as he does in real life? Or perhaps, because it's a dream, some special interaction will occur?!

Yukino Yukinoshita, her thoughts wandering, coughed slightly and said, "Haku-kun, there are other ways to express oneself besides stating things..."

The white figure shook its head and said, "Brave warrior, I don't understand."

Yukino's voice was slightly cold: "Oh? What don't you understand, Shiraki? As a creator, rhetorical devices and other such techniques should be basic skills, right?"

Bai Ying frowned in thought, then suddenly realized: "Just like when you don't want to lie or be honest, do you prefer to keep quiet or gloss over it?"

"?"

"I get it!" The white figure slapped his thigh. "The hero wanted to become even closer to the Deadly Chef, so he kicked his older brother out of the house and arranged for his aunt to marry the Deadly Chef's mother. He even invited me to be the priest and officiate at the wedding. In this way, the two became half-sisters, making everyone applaud and offer their blessings of 'Oh my god'..."
