Uneasy daily life

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) slightly opened her eyes, pointed with her finger, and said with amusement, "Haku-kun, there's smoke coming out of your head."

The white mist emanating from Bai Ying's head lingered, faintly resembling the gathering of three flowers at the top and the convergence of five energies: "This means my divine skill has reached its peak, a good thing, not tiring at all."

"Whether you're tired or not is irrelevant. With your style, even if you were paralyzed and lying in bed, you'd still be full of energy and entertaining yourself." Yukino Yukinoshita teased him, seeing his stubbornness.

"If you can't move while lying in bed, then you can only use your brain."

Bai Ying wiped her sweat again and said confidently, "Anyway, I'm not tired. I'm much stronger than Yukino."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said with slight dissatisfaction, "I ran the 1500 meters and came in second place, while Shiro-kun only came in sixth in the men's long-distance race."

Bai Ying sneered, "One effort, then decline, then exhaustion, limbs weak, weak chicken Xue Nai, how laughable."

What appears to be a playful banter is actually a teasing of Yukino herself.

Yukino Yukinoshita said irritably, "Shouldn't you return what you secretly took?"

Bai Ying gripped the microphone tightly: "What fallacies are you spouting to the Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee, you mere temporary executive committee member?"

"You don't need to return the microphone and speaker." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) coughed lightly and suddenly said, "There's a task here that I need to hand over to the Executive Vice Chairman..."

Bai Ying exclaimed in surprise, "Does this mean I have to carry bottled water one by one?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) smiled and said, "No, that's not it... Since you like commentary so much, why not add a commentator job to your team? There's a soccer match between the Red and White teams this afternoon. If you, Bai-kun, are the commentator, it should make the event more lively."

Incidentally, this will naturally ruin someone's plan to form a male cheerleading squad, so they won't see a female version of a white figure bouncing around in front of them.

"Okay! Then the microphone and speakers are under my control!"

Bai Ying happily agreed.

So happy?

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) frowned slightly and keenly added a condition: "Of course, as a commentator, you have to be fair and impartial. You can't just cheer for the Red Team and point fingers at the White Team the whole time."

“This is bad.” Bai Ying shook her head, “As a member of the Red Team…”

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai): "The executive committee doesn't talk about this. Just do what needs to be done. If you insist on playing the game of right and wrong, then stop playing. I'll be watching you the whole time today."

"Very well." After some calculation, Bai Ying said with a clear understanding in mind, "I'll take this job!"

After a brief exchange of terms, Bai Ying excitedly grabbed her microphone and speaker and went to bother the other competition venues.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) returned to the consultation room, vaguely feeling that something was not quite right.

My father was nowhere to be seen under the snow; he was probably out dealing with the school's reception.

"Yukinoshita..." Yukinoshita Yukino (Mai) asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with Black Fan's conditions?"

"The jump rope competition is indoors, not on the playground. Hurry up and get to the gymnasium, time's almost up... Sakurajima, you should ask Haku-kun when he'll be free."

After pointing out the direction to a confused classmate, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little depressed. The downside of being the older sister was that she always felt a distance between herself and school events like the sports festival. Just now, the two of them were discussing the arrangements for the sports festival, and she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Hearing the other person's question, Yukino Yukinoshita said quietly, "Wasn't it obvious from the long-distance race just now? The first place winner is a member of the white team. What Haku-kun cares about is not the score between the white team and the red team, but the places where he can find or create excitement."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said knowingly, "So that means his commentary is probably just as weird as his running race commentary? He might even turn a ball game into a war drama."

It's too superficial; the understanding is too shallow.

Yukino Yukinoshita simply raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiling faintly without saying a word.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) tilted her head, smiled, and leaned on the table, asking, "What? Does my older sister want to hear me call her 'older sister'?"

“Sakurajima doesn’t need to act like that. I’m not interested in finding a younger sister.” Yukino Yukinoshita felt that the other person’s words were strange, so she didn’t hide it too much. She casually relayed someone’s nine-square grid theory of referees and then said, “Haku-kun’s understanding of commentary can also be divided into nine types.”

"Lawful Good Commentary: I will provide fair commentary on the match, cheer on both sides, prioritize friendship, and wish everyone a wonderful performance."

"Neutral and kind commentator: My team's highlights are replayed ten times in slow motion."

"Chaotic and kind commentary: I lavish praise on the team I support, while glossing over the opposing team."

"Orderly Neutral Interpretation: I am an interpreter, I only state facts, I do not use rhetoric."

"Absolutely neutral commentary: Behave yourself, play faster, cause less trouble, and leave work early."

"Chaos Neutral Commentary: If it were me, how would I have kicked that last time, blah blah blah..."

"Lawful Evil Explained: When Does Kicking a Football Turn into Kicking a Person?"

"Neutral evil commentary: If there's no spark, then light a fire; if there's no conflict, then create one, trying to turn playing football into kicking people."

"Chaotic Evil Commentary: I will attack all players equally, including this match. True commentators kill with their mouths."

After simulating someone's thought process, Yukino Yukinoshita fell silent, feeling that there was something wrong with the way she could simulate it. She coughed slightly and concluded, "If the standard of common sense and morality is in the upper left corner, then Haku-kun must be leaning towards the lower left corner. Which interpretation do you think he would give?"

"Aside from kindness, I guess I'm somewhat naive... I guess I was being inconsiderate in saying that..." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said wistfully, "Executive Chairperson Yukino Yukinoshita has misjudged people and abused her power, resulting in the rampant growth of white fungus everywhere. It's truly despicable..."

Yukinoshita Harano (Yukino): #!

Hmm, let me try to think of ways I'm better than my sister!

written request for leave

Sitting idly, I feel like I'm about to burst into flames; I scratch my head and fidget all day. The shifting light and shadows terrify me; I'll sleep soundly this morning.

As shown above, I'm not staying up late today. I'll just touch it... It's strange. I reversed my day and night schedule in one day, and then I stayed up late and then I got back to my normal schedule. It's like the beauty of the great Dao, where yin and yang are in constant flux.

Wow, I'm going to become an immortal!

Chapter 41 Let's get some explanation

[Search: Why did my 16-year-old daughter's personality change so drastically?]

The old father frowned and stared intently.

[Answer: Sixteen is a crucial age for children, a time of adolescence. Influenced by the external environment and interpersonal relationships, they are gradually developing a basic understanding of the world, but this understanding is still somewhat superficial. Their temperament is therefore sensitive and changeable, making them appear difficult to manage in the eyes of parents. At times, parents may feel they haven't grown up at all, while at other times they may perceive them as rebellious. This is actually a two-way cognitive process—parents will view their children differently depending on their age, believing that a sixteen-year-old shouldn't act like a child, ignoring the necessity for maturity through experience. Children, due to their physical growth and the accompanying mental and emotional development, will exhibit sensitivity and changeability. Parents should strengthen communication and mutual understanding, rather than simply labeling them as 'disobedient,' 'bad-tempered,' or 'rebellious.' Such simplistic and harsh judgments often trigger further 'disobedience,' 'bad temper,' and 'rebellion,' creating a negative cycle and leaving irreparable rifts.]

Aside from being completely illogical, there were also very logical answers.

As Yukinoshita's father ate the lunch provided by the school, he glanced at his phone a few times before putting it down. After regaining some composure from addressing her as "Dad," he increasingly felt that something was amiss with the two goddesses.

The little goddess always had a smile on her face and a very gentle and kind attitude. She even used the trick of calling him "Daddy" to coax him away.

The goddess in the middle always has a cold demeanor, but in her speech and actions, she actually has a bit of the air of a little goddess.

Are they still playing a role-playing game?

Or is there some hidden meaning in the attitude you express?

Or has something happened recently that you don't want to talk to yourself about?

Oh dear, being a dad is so hard!

"The food is very good. Learn more about hospitality. I can explore on my own without needing anyone to accompany me..."

After dismissing the school's messenger, Yukinoshita's father searched the campus for the white figure. It was lunchtime, and the lively atmosphere of the sports festival was still going strong, with students scattered all over the campus... Tsk, where did my little brother go when I needed him?

Oh, the school is quite clean; there are trash cans even in such a remote place.

I glanced inside and realized my brother wasn't hiding there.

Yukinoshita's father regretfully withdrew his gaze, looked around, and suddenly paused, "Hmm?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was munching on bread on the steps: "..."

Hachiman Hikigaya finished the bread in two bites, put away the wrapper, and calmly got up to leave, trying to pretend he didn't know the other person.

"Young man, please wait!"

A hand rests on his shoulder, conveying the steady and powerful invitation of an uncle.

Hachiman Hikigaya turned his head in confusion: "Uncle, is there something you need?"

"You and Yukino are friends, right?" Yukinoshita's father was relatively accommodating to this potential villain, pulling him back to sit on the steps and displaying the kind face of an elder, without any intention of harboring evil thoughts. "Young man, how have your studies been lately?"

"good."

"Have you signed up for any competitions at the sports festival?"

"Have."

"You're in the prime of your life, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"No."

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

What a rigid three-part response from an elder!

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Hachiman Hikigaya spoke up, "Uncle wants to ask about Yukinoshita?"

"I really do want to ask that. Yukino's been acting strangely lately. Has something happened to her?"

"What Uncle finds strange is that Yukino has become more gentle in her interactions with people, often smiles, and seems more tender than before?"

"..."

Yukinoshita's father gazed at her with a silent smile, pondering whether the reserve traitor could be upgraded to traitor number two.

First, they joined forces with the rebels to kill the second traitor, then joined forces with the little goddess to kill the first traitor, and then engaged in a righteous showdown with the rebels to eliminate the last major threat.

Hachiman Hikigaya sensed danger and immediately said, "Uncle, is it possible that Yukinoshita is actually quite gentle?"

Yukinoshita's father raised an eyebrow: "Young man, what evidence do you have?"

"For example, when there are difficulties and conflicts, she always thinks of taking on more responsibility; when getting along with friends, she is more likely to accommodate them; when helping others, she always does her best..." Hachiman Hikigaya gave a few simple examples, but suddenly sensed that the danger was getting stronger and stronger, and immediately said seriously, "This is what the captain summarized - the captain is Shirokage. Simply put, only people who are closer to her can see more of Yukinoshita's personality traits, while those who are more distant from her will only think that she is cold and aloof and difficult to talk to."

Yukino's father's hatred had been diverted, and he couldn't help but stroke his chin, saying, "You mean Yukino was always like this?"

"It's not that it's inherently like that. I dislike hypocrisy, and I'm the same way as Yukino... Perhaps Yukino feels closer to her uncle, so she's become much gentler."

Hachiman Hikigaya hesitated, pondering whether to use the department head as a shield, express some of his own speculations, or help cover up the past... Yukinoshita's change was somewhat abrupt, and the relationship between the department head and Yukinoshita didn't seem to have made any significant progress, so it was obviously not for that reason.

The reason must be something else.

For example, superpowers?

"The sensitive and changeable adolescence?"

Yukinoshita's father wasn't quite sure; to be honest, he had some bolder, more anxious, but uncertain guesses in his heart.

"Thank you, no wonder Yukino considers you a friend..."

"You're welcome."

Hachiman Hikigaya got up to leave, but found that the large hand on his shoulder was unusually strong and he could not break free.

"Young man, is there a girl you're interested in? I've been there, so I understand what you young people are thinking." Yukinoshita's father smiled kindly. "Would you like me to give you some advice?"

Hachiman Hikigaya quickly said, "Everyone knows that Yukinoshita has feelings for the department head."

In short, go after the minister! Don't mess with me!

I'm really not interested in teenage romance stories!

"Hahaha! Everyone knows?!" Yukinoshita's father gritted his teeth and coughed. "At your age, boys and girls, whether they're classmates, club members, or have only exchanged a few words, can easily develop feelings for each other and start to care about someone. This pure and simple youthful emotion is the kind of first love that's worth reminiscing about when you're older..."

This guy is really complicated. On one hand, he's relentlessly pursuing the club president, and on the other hand, he's relentlessly pursuing anyone who might become the president's love rival. I wonder if he'd be interested in relentlessly pursuing Yukinoshita's love rival. She's very close, she's in the second year. Hurry up and I'll attack this old man!

Hachiman Hikigaya internally ranted, but nodded in agreement, instantly coming up with a brilliant plan to escape: "Yeah, that's how I was in middle school. Just because a girl talked to me a few times, I thought she was special, and then I thought I was special in her eyes too, and then... sigh."

A sigh says it all.

Under the snow, the father recalls his childhood... Memories erased! Erased! Erased!

His hostility receded like the tide, and he patted the other person on the shoulder with great emotion.

We're all guys, so let's not talk about it. Everyone has a stupid past, right?

……

……

What I'm better at than my sister... is honesty?

Forget it, I can't convince myself. Not wanting to lie is a requirement I set for myself, how can I compare it to anything else? I need to start from my own perspective and truly understand where I am stronger than the older sister I admire. This is the solution Sakurajima found.

Learning? Talent? Ability? Being younger?

It's too general; it's hard to get a real sense of it.

In short, we need to resolve this puberty syndrome as soon as possible; the current situation is so awkward!

Yukino Yukinoshita took out her phone and sent her new discovery about puberty syndrome to the group chat. She then walked towards the playground, where the afternoon sports festival was about to begin.
