Uneasy daily life

Yukinoshita's father quickly denied it and took a step to the side to distance himself from Toyohama's father: "Yukino, you know, right? My first and last person in this matter was your mother! My experience in this area is far inferior to Mr. Toyohama's!"

That's how friendships between adults are; they can capsize in an instant.

"Ahem." Feng Bin's father couldn't help but cough. "Hehua, let's not talk about these things anymore, it's pointless..."

"Isn't it more interesting that we can't talk about it?"

Feng Binhe and Hua (Bai Ying) smiled teasingly: "As for Dad and Mom's affairs, that's all I know. What else can we talk about? We can't exactly talk about how they became sons-in-law and how their lives were in their wives' hands, can we?"

Yukinoshita's father: "..."

Feng Bin's father: "..."

Is this a topic that can be casually discussed in public?!

"My sister is waiting over there for the three-legged race to start," Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) said, trying to steer the conversation off-topic, even if it was a bit forced. "Haku-kun seems to be getting ready over there too."

Let's offer a sacrifice under the snow to temporarily divert attention from the heavy snow.

"It's normal for elders to talk about younger people, but is it wrong for younger people to talk about elders? But no matter which side is talking, the reaction is very consistent: they can't utter a single word for a long time."

Kazuha Toyohama (Shirokage) shook his head and muttered a complaint before heading towards the track with Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai), leaving the two men feeling awkward.

Fortunately, they were all mature sons-in-law who had seen a lot of ups and downs.

Toyohama's father said apologetically, "I've always been a bit disrespectful when talking to Kazuha, I'm sorry Mr. Yukinoshita had to see that..."

"It's not that bad. It's normal for teenagers to be a little reckless." Yukinoshita's father always felt that Toyohama and Hana were a bit strange, but thinking about it, there was nothing strange about it. He wasn't very familiar with them, but as the sister of the number one villain... in any case, he needed to be careful.

He added, "If there is a problem with education, it should be Mrs. Toyohama's fault."

“I also made mistakes, because it involved some conflicts with my wife, so I couldn’t interfere with the education and the flower.” Toyohama’s father sighed. “It’s normal for the flower to have grievances and speak to me with barbs, but it’s also dragged Mr. Yukinoshita into it.”

Yukinoshita's father was taken aback and said strangely, "You...you also didn't have much closeness and interaction with your child before, and now you're facing a situation where you don't know what to do?"

"Yes." Toyohama's father realized what was happening and asked curiously, "Ms. Yukinoshita too?"

Yukinoshita's father nodded: "Yes."

The two fathers exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

That's how mature friendships between sons-in-law and wives are—they can turn back into friendships just as easily.

The two slowed their pace and walked together toward the starting line of the playground where their daughter was, chatting casually as they went.

“Sigh, sometimes I really don’t know what to do. If I talk to her, I don’t feel I have the confidence to do so. If I don’t talk to her, she always says strange things…” Feng Bin’s father sighed. “She seems to have become more sensible, but she’s still immature and does things that are easy to cause trouble.”

Yukinoshita's father said knowingly, "Toyohama and Sakurajima Mai seem to get along quite well."

"To be honest, when she was in kindergarten, for some reason, she kept insisting that her parents give her an older sister." Feng Bin's father recalled, his tone complicated. "I was also annoyed by her pestering, so I casually pointed to Mai, who was still a child star, on TV... After she kept pestering me, I took her to meet Mai once—I remember that after that, they probably didn't have any contact."

Yukinoshita's father suddenly frowned and said, "Mr. Toyohama, is the reason you haven't taken care of your daughter's education because of conflicts with your wife?"

Toyohama's father smiled wryly, "Mr. Yukinoshita should understand this, right? After all, he's marrying into the family, so he's bound to feel inferior when they meet at home. It's not easy for him to express any opinions about her thoughts. As the weaker party, and given how sensitive and suspicious she is, she can't solve the problem and only makes the atmosphere at home tense..."

Yukinoshita's father suddenly interrupted, succinctly summarizing: "I met my wife when I was at a very low level, and it was through her encouragement that I became who I am today. I had great faith in her ability to teach others, but I misjudged the difference between the mother-daughter relationship and the husband-wife relationship, which led to quite a few conflicts in the family."

“I have explained these things to my two daughters.”

Feng Bin's father was taken aback: "This..."

"I cannot agree with Mr. Toyohama's idea," Yukinoshita's father said softly. "In my opinion, it's less about the child being ignorant and more about the adults subconsciously downplaying their own mistakes, not telling the child anything, yet making the child bear the consequences of concealment..."

"Doing nothing may be neither right nor wrong in itself, but making too many excuses for it is somewhat like knowing you're wrong but finding it hard to admit it... Ah, the situation is different after all. Mr. Fengbin, you don't need to take my words to heart. I'm just expressing my feelings about my past self."

Yukinoshita's father noticed the little goddess and the middle goddess ahead, quickened his pace slightly, and made a sudden turn like the wind, running away as soon as he finished speaking.

That's how mature parent-child friendships are; they can break down in an instant.

……

……

At the starting line, the members of each team were warming up and chatting, waiting for the start of the race.

Yukino Yukinoshita stood on the grass inside the track, staring coldly at the white figure (Yukino) on the track, and Angelina next to her, who was warming up by standing on tiptoe and doing small jumping movements.

I didn't look, I didn't look, I didn't look at myself—I glanced!

Angelina instantly looked away, her warm-up jumps becoming stiffer and faster. She lowered her voice and asked, "Sir, why is Yukinoshita's sister staring at us?!"

Hakuei (Yonai): "What kind of person do you think she is?"

"Hmm...it feels like we're not very familiar," Angelina muttered softly, "but it also feels kind of scary..."

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) smiled: "To be more specific, this is how elementary school students express themselves."

Angelina: "What would it feel like to have superpowers and be able to join an organization directly as a full member?"

Baiying (Yang Nai): "I just told her that you should be the most broad-minded person in the whole grade."

“……?……!”

Angelina jumped back warily, her hands subtly covering her chest, and said with displeasure, "Making lewd jokes will make you disliked, you'll be labeled a pervert and looked down upon—besides, Yukinoshita's older sister has a powerful foundation!"

"It's okay, I'm already weird enough."

Hakuei (Yono) spoke with righteous indignation—of course, she actually praised Anshinin in front of Yukino-chan, calling him a capable assistant, an obedient subordinate, and a fellow esper, whose simple plan was incredibly effective on Yukino-chan, making Yukino-chan think it didn't matter, but in reality she cared a lot.

Noticing the interaction between the two people in front of her, Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent in thought.

How should I put it? I felt that Bai Jun was really infuriating today, the kind of person who makes me want to argue or even fight...

"Yay, Yukino-chan~"

Toyohama Kazuka (Shirokage) peeked out from above her left shoulder.

"Huh? Sis..." Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"Hmph, Yukino-chan has gotten bolder, daring to provoke Yukino." Toyohama Kazuka (Shirokage) sighed, "If we don't fight, I won't be the only one who suffers. How can that be allowed!"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Yukino) became alert and looked around, seeing the father duo and Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) approaching.

When I looked back, my older sister was already by the track, playing on her phone and making monotone reading sounds.

"Wow! That's amazing! So there's a campus legend about three-legged races where couples who complete the course together receive a mysterious blessing and their relationship goes smoothly?"

Kazuka Toyohama (Shirokage) looked at the groups at the starting line with a knowing expression, muttering to herself, "Write down the names of the male and female teams and hand them to the teacher. Maybe you can get a position second only to the teacher..."

Houtarou Oreki: "This shouldn't be any of our business, right?"

“This is none of our business,” Yoshiteru Zaimokuza replied forcefully after warming up. “Now, the Sword Saint General is about to draw his sword!”

Hayato Hayama looked at Yumiko Miura with some surprise. Yumiko Miura looked away and sneered, "I haven't heard of any school legends... You, you seem to be that so-and-so? Not from our school, are you?"

"I'm from the Sakuraha Academy Student Council, and I'm here to research and learn from their experience at the Sports Festival."

Kazuka Toyohama (Shirokage) said regretfully, "It's a pity we're an all-girls school; the three-legged race legend is a bit too strange."

Several couples participating in the competition felt a subtle unease—like being happily playing a game of throwing pillows in the dorm room when suddenly a teacher walks by the window with a flashlight, and the dorm room becomes deathly quiet in an instant.

"No, there's no such campus legend."

Angelina retorted, "It was Bai Ying who posted this and even asked me to repost it... *sigh*."

A powerful man splits a skull.jpg!

"I think a school without its seven ghost stories, seven legends, and seven rumors is an incomplete school," Shiro (Yono) said emphatically as she corrected Angelina's thinking. "From today onwards, the three-legged race at the sports festival will become a campus legend about love..."

"I see."

Kazuka Toyohama (Shirokage) said knowingly, "Each of us has one foot tied together. In order to move forward together, we have to coordinate our steps, and our bodies inevitably stick close together. Summer clothes are so thin that they probably can't hide our rapid heartbeats, but fortunately, we can use the fact that the exercise is too intense to cover it up..."

The atmosphere between male-female pairs is weird! The atmosphere between male-male and female-female pairs is even weirder!

Yui Yuigahama, acting as the starter, quickly prepared to begin the competition.

"Ahem! Little Flower, don't speak! Contestants, take your positions!"

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Young Girl's Lifespan Is Shortened

"Bai, are you confident about the competition?"

Kazuka Toyohama (Shirokage) attempted to conduct an interview.

“My physical fitness is quite strong.” Bai Ying (Yang Nai) smiled with her eyes narrowed. “And in this kind of competition that tests teamwork, Tai Changnian and I will not lose.”

"It's Anshinin Angelina!"

Angelina rolled her eyes.

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) put their hands behind their backs and peered around, saying, "This body does look quite imposing."

"Of course, heave-ho!"

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) raised her hand, clenched her fist, and pounded it against her chest. Sometimes she bent her arms from her waist in front of her body, sometimes she raised her fists and tensed them, highlighting the muscles on her arms. Sometimes she swung her arms from side to side and pointed them diagonally to the sky, like Ultraman preparing his beam. With a pre-casting gesture, she said in a deep voice: "Strong! Brave! Infinite! Can you feel the heat rushing towards you, the heat that can ignite you? Stickman."

"Take this kick!"

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) suddenly kicked out with lightning speed.

Wow, that rascal's dynamic vision is pretty good too...

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) reacted quickly and took a step back. Just as she was about to continue showing off in her white skin, she suddenly felt resistance on her legs.

"Ugh?!"

Angelina's bound left leg was pulled, and she was caught off guard and pounced on Shiro (Yono). With a thud, they collided, and Shiro (Yono) stumbled, pulling Angelina along with her. The two almost fell over together, but managed to regain their balance after a couple of hops.

"Don't move!"

Angelina quickly distanced herself and shouted angrily.

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) subconsciously looked at the culprit, who seemed to be stunned for a moment, as if surprised that Bai Ying had unexpectedly failed. After she (he) reacted, she immediately chuckled and whistled in a nonchalant manner, increasing the sarcasm.

"It's alright." Shiro (Yono) quickly reintegrated into her role, giving an inhuman example, "Even if I have to use a rolling method, I can still lead you to first place!"

"Who would compete like that!"

Angelina emphasized cautiously, "The competition is secondary; safety comes first!"

If the officer insists on running away later... that's quite possible! After all, he's the officer!

Just imagine a scene like a hellish scroll painting; the only thing you can do is secretly use your superpowers to carry the white shadow (Yinuo) away!

Yui Yuigahama was about to cry, but fortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita took the initiative to help, and with a cold face, persuaded Toyohama and Hana (Shirokage) to leave the starting line.

"On your marks, get set—!"

Yui Yuigahama drew out her voice and pulled the signal gun.

boom! !

The contestants, in pairs, surged forward.

"With the sound of the referee's gun, the contestants charged forward like pigs. Oh, oh, oh—Hayama and Miura are advancing rapidly, leading the charge. As expected of the seeded players in this match, Angelina and Shiro have fallen behind in comparison..."

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) had to slow down her pace and match Angelina's steps. The feeling in her body was more like strolling than running—this was bad. Was this esper from the same dorm as the rascal in a weak body?

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) stood by the track, jogging and bouncing, leisurely reciting: "Oh dear, Bai Ying, who boasts of being strong and healthy and said that first place is a piece of cake, has fallen behind from the start, looking like her freedom is bound by gravity."

I didn't use gravity to bind the white shadow... Wait a minute! Who are you talking about as gravity?!

Am I a superpower that allows me to control gravity?!

Angelina mentally ranted, taking a few breaths as she felt herself being prompted, and quickened her pace slightly.

"Wait a minute..." Bai Ying (Yang Nai) was caught off guard and instead tugged at Angelina's leg, "Don't go fast or slow all the time, keep running at a steady pace!"

Angelina tried to adjust, but the more she tried, the more chaotic it became.

"Awoooooo! Charge!!"

"..."

Anyone who can unleash a battle cry on the field must be quite unusual.

Yoshiteru Zaimoto shouted and strode forward, his teammate being Houtarou Oreki. The two ran past each other, overtaking other competitors one after another. Surprisingly, the combination of the thin and fat pair did not slow down or lose balance due to their size difference!

"They're coming up! It's Yoshiteru Zaimokuza and Houtarou Oreki! Although their steps are held by the rope, they've become one by linking their arms around each other! What a brilliant idea! As long as they're one, they won't be held back by each other, and their speed is noticeably faster! In comparison, the other contestants are too shy to hug and cuddle. Is it true that the opposite sex only hinders the speed of a three-legged race?"

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) jogged along the side of the track, keeping up with the live broadcast.

strangeness……

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) and Haruno Yukinoshita (Yukino) subconsciously looked away, glancing at Toyohama and Hana (Shirokage) with a rather subtle expression, and frowned in unison.
