Uneasy daily life

Fengbin's mother stammered, "Although Hua has changed, she no longer argues with me and does everything very well, but I just feel... she's a bit of a stranger."

[This is unfamiliar... It reminds me of what happened to Mai before. Before she spoke out and caused the controversy surrounding her retirement from the entertainment industry, I didn't think Mai had any resentment towards me. She did a very good job both at work and in life, and our mother-daughter relationship was fine.]

After a brief silence, Sakurajima's mother spoke: "Seemingly close, always smiling, listening attentively to me, never complaining or arguing… perhaps my child hasn't even grown up yet, but has already learned polite social niceties in front of their parents—closeness and smiles don't equate to a good relationship, but rather to appease each other's status and the nature of the relationship."

Feng Bin's mother frowned: "What you're saying..."

"When Mai was in junior high, I arranged a photo shoot for her, overlooking the potential harm that taking swimsuit photos in front of a crowd could cause her as she grew increasingly sensitive to gender issues," Sakurajima's mother said with some emotion. "She still completed that job diligently, maturely relinquishing the right to express herself, enduring the troubles and pain, and gradually seeing me as her manager in the guise of a mother... Perhaps every child goes through this phase as they grow up, and one day they begin to see their family as strangers in a familial relationship."

Feng Bin's mother hesitated and said, "If she's annoyed, she'll definitely argue with me..."

"Who would argue with a stranger for no reason? The concepts are different, but the underlying thoughts are probably similar," Sakurajima's mother remarked. "Isn't this a wish fulfilled for you? She has indeed improved a lot and doesn't need your concern anymore."

Feng Bin's mother raised another point of view: "Do you think Kazuka and Hana are in a relationship too early?"

[Early romantic relationships? Shouldn't early romantic relationships lead to distraction, causing poor performance in work and studies?]

"It's also possible that after falling in love early, they realized they weren't good enough, so they worked hard to do better."

【maybe.】

Sakurajima's mother did not deny it.

This topic obviously cannot be discussed further, otherwise it might veer off to the point where the two people are at odds.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Bin's mother became increasingly worried. Something must have happened to He Hua, but she felt that she couldn't ask her... After all, He Hua was doing exactly what she asked, and if she said anything more, it would be like making trouble out of nothing.

We need to think of a way...

Feng Bin's mother hesitated for a moment, then dialed the number again.

Hello? What's up?

"About Kazuka, she's been acting strange lately. She's suddenly become much more obedient, and I feel like there's something wrong with her..."

Feng Bin's mother briefly recounted the events.

You manage everything at home, and you ask me for advice. How am I supposed to know what to do?

"Aren't you going to care about the money?!"

What can I do to manage this?

"Take her out to play, chat with her or something."

If you have a way, why don't you go yourself?

Are you going or not?!

Okay, okay, I'll go.

……

……

[Toyohama Kazuka: Aaaaaah—!]

[Wahana: Hehehe~ Once I become the student council president, I'll make everyone call me 'Wahana-sama'. What do you think of that idea?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: I feel like we could die together! Don't use other people's bodies for your own purposes!]

[That's just what I mean by "someone else's body." It's clearly just that I happen to look exactly like Waka-chan.]

[Toyohama Waka: Nishiuchi! 】

Toyohama Kazuka (Yono) was lying in bed. She had just teased the real Kazuka-chan with her new nickname, successfully transferring her bad mood to someone else, and her mood immediately improved.

Other people's mothers are definitely not your own; no matter how you get along with them, you just can't feel that connection. You can only pretend.

Once their appearances return to normal, it will be very interesting to see them struggling to take over the situation with Hana-chan.

Hmm... I've almost finished what I needed to do here. I've already asked for leave for tomorrow, so I should go to Soubu High School's sports festival to join in the fun.

Yukino-chan is really getting arrogant. How can you be so sure that I have those kinds of thoughts and feelings for that jerk?

I've never seen anyone so eager for someone to become their love rival.

Amidst her fluctuating and chaotic thoughts, Toyohama and Hana (Yono) closed their eyes and fell asleep.

……

……

The next day.

The white figure opened its eyes.

An unfamiliar ceiling.

Ok?

Bai Ying immediately sat up, instantly feeling something different about his body. He looked at his hand—hiss! He actually found this hand rather attractive, worthy of use?!

No way? Could it be...?

Queen Killer!

As crimson energy surged, a familiar Stand formed beside him.

"Fortunately, my hand fetishism and potential involvement with social troublemakers haven't been exposed."

Bai Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at the strand of golden hair sticking to her face, and then went to the dressing table to look at Feng Bin and Hua's appearance in the mirror.

Although I don't know if it's 9528 or a stick figure possessing me, it probably won't make headlines for a pervert attacking a teenage girl, so...

"Hehehehe! Alright! From today onwards, I am Toyohama and Hana Plus, hahahahaha!"

Outside the door, Feng Bin's mother, who was about to call her daughter for dinner, froze and gasped.

There's really something wrong with Kazuya!

written request for leave

Attending a cousin...cousin? Grandpa's daughter's son, that should be the relationship, right? Speaking of the relatives I played with when I was little, I really don't remember having any formal names for them. We just called each other "kid" or "kid". I guess the adults called each other that, and we kids learned to call each other that too. We got used to calling each other that.

I never imagined he'd be married so soon. Time really flies; it's the last thing you notice.

Fortunately, during the banquet, I didn't sit at the same table as close relatives. Instead, I mingled among the elderly and children, successfully avoiding awkward questions like, "Hey, you've gotten so fat!", "Hey, Y is married, when are you getting married?", and "Hey, how's that novel you're writing lately?"

Sigh... I have a strong feeling that one day during a meal, my parents will bring this up and give me all sorts of hints.

I'm taking a day off today to avoid falling back into the reversed routine of writing and staying up all night. I'm trying to get back to updating twice a day... I just realized it's been three and a half months since I last updated once a day, damn it...

Chapter Forty-Nine: A Clever Trick Backfires

Open your eyes.

There's a feeling of lightness and freedom, a sense of energy throughout the body, like being filled with a balloon. There's no grogginess from waking up from a dream; you simply illuminate the world with your gaze.

"Huha..."

Yukino sat up, stretched slightly, and seemed to have slept very well last night. She was full of energy and wanted to rush to Soubu High School immediately to find something for her two little sisters to do as Toyohama and Hana.

Perhaps they couldn't wait to see Yukino-chan and Waka-chan's expressions?

Ok?

Something just doesn't feel right?

Why are my hands so strong?

Is that how Hana-chan's body is?

Yukinoshita instinctively opened her palm in front of her eyes, thinking she had turned back into herself...

Although this hand looks quite long, it's not exactly delicate, and the bone structure is noticeably larger.

The bedroom was clean and tidy with only a bed. Reaching out of the wardrobe, I found several sets of clothes copied and pasted.

Wait, could it be that I am...?

Yukinoshita Haruno quickly went into the restroom.

A face that was both strange and familiar was reflected in the mirror. It was familiar in appearance, but strange in its somewhat indifferent expression.

Jerk?!

Wait a minute, this seems different from last time, right? Last time I turned into Hana-chan directly, how did I end up at the bastard's house this time? So last time it was my appearance that changed, but this time it's me possessing his body?!

Yukinoshita couldn't help but raise her hand to press her forehead, looking somewhat bewildered by the wind.

Wait! The phone on the bedside table!

Rushing back to her bedroom, Yukino picked up the unfamiliar phone—presumably Shirokage's. She assumed it was locked, but pressing the power button brought up the screen, which went straight to the home screen. It was very simple, with only a few chat app icons. She tapped one to see…

The chat group, nicknamed Bai Liang Bai Ying, has several names that are quite ridiculous. It's definitely a lousy phone.

Huh? Sakurajima Mai's fan club? Someone's still tagging her?

Yukino raised an eyebrow and clicked on the chat group with a rather intriguing name.

[Little Ma Zi: @Bai Liang Bai Ying, Big Brother! What happened to the promised autograph from Miss Sakurajima?! I'm your half-father!]

[Insomnia: Give up, you've been howling about it for days.]

[Crow: The admins and group owner haven't been active these past few days, it's getting a bit boring.]

[Wooden Fish: It would be strange if you guys were always active in the group chat, right? The group owner and admins probably all have their own jobs, don't you guys go to work?]

[Crow: I'm not old enough to be in class yet.]

[Wooden Fish: It's alright, you can prepare in advance.]

Did that jerk join a Mai Sakurajima fan group? Probably just to cause trouble for Mai Sakurajima.

[Want to be a Bunny Girl: @LittlePockmarkedOne, the admin is always slacking off, they probably forgot about you a long time ago. I do have Mai Sakurajima's autograph, but there are a few conditions.]

[Little Pockmarked: I've drifted through half my life, never encountering a wise ruler. If the group leader doesn't abandon me, I'm willing to become his godfather and faithfully follow the righteous path.]

[Insomnia: You really are a father figure to everyone.]

[Little Pockmarked Guy: Being a fan isn't shameful.]

[Crow: We're all group members, it's not shameful.]

[Wooden Fish: I'm getting old; I can't keep up with your young people's way of thinking.]

[Want to be a Bunny Girl: @LittlePockmarkedOne, a loyal minister does not serve two masters. Since the general is willing to become my disciple, he must demonstrate some ability. Firstly, without achievements, it will be difficult to gain the respect of the masses; secondly, maintaining ties with his former master is not appropriate.]

[Little Pockmarked Guy: Hmph! Suspicion is the root of disloyalty!]

[Little Pockmarked Boy: I want to inspect the goods first! Where is Red Hare?!]

The group owner went anonymous and didn't reply for a while.

The group chat gradually veered off-topic to the next topic.

Yukino looked at the group chat but didn't feel like saying anything. It was clear that the relationships between the people in the group were quite messy. Speaking with a jerk's account gave off a feeling that he might be exposed at any moment... This feeling also proved that this was a jerk's phone, right?

Yukinoshita began to think like lightning.

First of all, that jerk is a jerk.

Secondly, a jerk is a jerk.

In the end, a jerk is still a jerk.

Now that I've mentally prepared myself, I can go straight to check Hurry up with the jerk's web search browsing history!

Oh dear, if it were Yukino-chan, she would probably contact Junkyu immediately. She would be very curious but try her best not to go through Junkyu's phone. That's why she's called a pushover. Given Junkyu's personality, he wouldn't care about such things at all—he might even use it to make fun of Yukino-chan.

Yukinoshita opened her browser in a cheerful mood, and several search browsing records appeared.

How to recover web search browsing history that has been deleted by the phone owner?

[What should you do if you switch from being a girl to a boy and need to use the restroom?]

Is it considered an invasion of privacy to possess someone else's body?

...That jerk really is that jerk!

Yukino's eyes twitched slightly as she opened the chat app and initiated a private message to a certain account.

[Bai Liang Bai Ying: You bastard, are you awake yet? Did you do this?]
