Uneasy daily life

"Oh, so when are you going to sue Mom for a share of the inheritance?"

"No, I'm really busy..."

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) were startled, then said knowingly, "It seems Mom's life is in danger. Should I call the police beforehand? Of course, I'm also quite annoyed by Mom's autocratic tyranny. Overthrowing her rule with you is also an acceptable option—yes! Let's do something big together!"

On the street, the girl seemed engrossed in her conversation. Suddenly, she excitedly held up an ice cream cone, clasped her hands in a respectful bow, and declared in a resounding voice, "Having spent half my life adrift, I have yet to meet a wise ruler. If you do not despise me, I am willing to become your godfather and join you in this great undertaking!"

Many passersby looked over with puzzled expressions.

I am your father, what do you mean by "becoming your godfather"?!

"I can do the work tomorrow!"

Feng Bin's father, exasperated, agreed and let his daughter do as she pleased, who knew what strange stories she would come up with.

It's true, it's gone astray.

written request for leave

Ah—ah ah—ah ah ah—ah—ah ah…

The body-swapping plot was almost over, then it got stuck. I've gotten to the point where even tormenting Yukino isn't fun anymore, which is a really bad and dangerous situation. Lately, I've been having a lot of random thoughts. Maybe it's because the more I think, the more indifferent I feel on dates? Damn it, I can't even think of a funny plot.

He might turn into a master of lame jokes and a guru of bad memes.

Suddenly I understand why some elders like to tell unfunny stories and then burst into laughter!

If there's no work, we're done for; we need to think of something to do!

Why not have Bai Ying and Xue's father have a cowboy duel, then Xue's father commits suicide with eight bullets in his back? How does a son-in-law turn the tables on his father-in-law? Aba aba aba…

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fire! Match! Man!

To avoid being falsely accused by his daughter, Feng Bin's father reluctantly promised to go home today.

"Then let's agree on that."

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) ate the ice cream cone in a few bites and hummed happily, "I'm going back to Zongwu High School to play with my sister later. You're free to do whatever you want."

"Ah."

After a moment's thought, Feng Bin's father said, "Then I'll go back to the company."

Although he has a crooked way of thinking and likes to insult and criticize others, he still has the mindset of a child. In the end, he just wants to go home.

Do you think parents should get along well and avoid conflicts, and that even if their relationship is cold, resolving the issues will restore harmony? Things are never that simple.

Going home tonight?

Feng Bin's father smiled, "Let me show you the art of adult politeness. I'll definitely do it next time!"

She volunteered to work overtime as soon as she got back to the company! She'll probably get used to it over time... It's strange that she's making such a fuss today, isn't it? It's not like it's just been a one- or two-month-long thing that I've started being away from home so often.

"Wow, Dad isn't planning to stand me up, is he?"

"No."

Feng Bin's father remained expressionless.

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) peeked in with a smile: "Kids don't understand anything, it's normal for them to have some wild ideas, just give them a perfunctory response... Dad's face is full of that meaning."

"Really do not have."

Feng Bin's father remained expressionless.

"Really? That's great!" Feng Bin and Hua Ju (Bai Ying) said with beaming smiles. "I'll tell Mom the good news later. Dad said he's coming home for dinner—so Dad will definitely come home, right? Adults always keep their word, right?"

Feng Bin's father: "..."

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) lifted their chins slightly, their eyes curving as they confirmed again, "You will, right?"

"Kazuka, I understand your thoughts, but adult matters shouldn't involve you..."

Before Feng Bin's father could finish speaking earnestly, Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) raised their hands to interrupt him: "Then why does Mom keep thinking I'm not doing enough? Why does Dad keep trying not to be with me? You say that adult matters shouldn't affect children, but it seems that's not the case, is it? Sigh~ I understand, I just didn't understand the unspoken meaning of adults, and I couldn't understand the difficulties adults were trying to make excuses for themselves."

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) sighed, their expressions melancholy and resentful, and said, "The adults are trying so hard to shirk responsibility, how can I keep pressing them? They're so inconsiderate. We're family, we should be understanding. After all, even adults have things they can't do, and we should consider their feelings..."

"Cough cough, don't say such strange things." Feng Bin's father said with a headache, "Let me put it this way, if I go home and stay with your mother, we'll start arguing again. Won't that be annoying for both of us? Do you enjoy listening to us argue?"

"happy."

"?"

"Make a lot of noise then." Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) patted their chests and said with a loyal expression, "I'm on your side. I'll help you argue with Mom! Two mouths are definitely more powerful than one. Watch me say a few words and she'll be speechless!"

"??"

You want to leave her speechless? And then make sure I never come back, is that it?

Fengbin's father tried to dispel his doubts and said earnestly, "Kazuha, the problem between adults..."

“I understand.” Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) gave each other an OK sign. “As long as we don’t interfere, it’s not a problem.”

Feng Bin's father stammered, "No, let's put it this way, as the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts..."

"When we did the math, we both felt we had given too little and given too much, and that the other party was too heartless, so we could no longer be brothers." Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) said knowingly, "I understand, so when are you and Mom going to blame each other, throw the blame, have a big fight, and start dividing the family property? Hua is willing to be the vanguard and testify in court!"

Feng Bin's father: "...I will definitely go home today."

"See you at home then."

Kazuka Toyohama (Shirokage) smiled and reached out, slightly tiptoeing, to pat the other person's shoulder: "Sir, you're good at finding reasons~"

The girl hummed happily twice and skipped towards Soubu High School, her blonde hair tied in a side ponytail swaying back and forth.

As a result, he ended up looking like a precocious little devil?

Feng Bin's father sighed helplessly. Oh well, he'd better go home. He ignored whatever his wife said and calmly suppressed his frustration.

Well, she should just accept the loss herself and consider it her mistake.

……

……

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana), standing by the playground, saw 'herself' bouncing in from the school gate from afar. She immediately got up with a dark face and started chasing after her.

At this moment, preparations are underway for a relay race using borrowed objects on the playground.

The rules of the relay race, where you run using borrowed objects, are very simple.

As the name suggests, each of the red and white teams sends out five contestants. The contestants first draw a slip of paper from the lottery box, find the object that matches the content of the slip, and bring it back to the starting line to complete the task.

Each team of five takes turns, and the team that finishes first wins.

Currently, there's a minor issue with the competition.

The deputy executive chairman pointed out a major flaw in the competition: "Eru, your thinking is too conservative and rigid! The things that are easy to find at school are nothing more than books, school bags, pens and test papers. The lottery box must contain these kinds of things, right?"

The project leader was Chitanda Eru, and the contents of the slips of paper in the lottery box were naturally prepared by her after much thought.

Then it was guessed in advance without any difficulty.

“Uh…yes.” Chitanda Eru scratched her head and said, “But it should be fine, right? Everyone’s on the playground, and all the stationery and books are in the classroom…”

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) nodded and said, "That's why I brought my backpack down with me. It will be convenient for the Red Team members to borrow things. The White Team, with its outdated tactical thinking, can only watch us complete the task as quickly as possible. Whew, when does the competition start? I can't wait."

Chitanda Eru: "?"

Miura Yumiko frowned and said, "Wait! Isn't this cheating?!"

"I guessed the game content based on my intelligence, so why should I be accused of cheating?" Bai Ying (Yang Nai) said righteously.

"Of course it's cheating!"

A righteous and eloquent voice emerged.

Yumiko Miura looked up at the sound and saw a blonde girl walking over naturally. Her summer short-sleeved shirt and knee-length skirt had green patterns forming a gradient, and the edges of her clothes were decorated with flower-like embellishments. The whole outfit was like green leaves, which set off the girl's gorgeous appearance and temperament.

If it weren't for the school badge on the chest, which resembles vines twisting and intertwining, one would never associate it with a school uniform.

Miura Yumiko made a good first impression, especially the girl who suddenly spoke up and walked to the side as if she were standing in a group.

The girl clenched her fist, facing the white figure (Yono), and said in a trembling voice, "How could you think of something I hadn't thought of? You're cheating!"

The executive committee members who were discussing the matter fell silent for a moment.

Miura Yuko: "?"

“That’s true.” Bai Ying (Yang Nai) nodded in agreement. “It’s not that the rules are wrong, it’s that I’m the one who found the problem with the rules. I failed to understand Miura’s slow thinking, and I’m very sorry about that.”

Kazuka Toyohama (Shirokage) patted Yumiko Miura on the shoulder: "It's okay, that bastard is no good, it's right to criticize him, I'll help you criticize him!"

Miura Yuko: "#!"

You're no better than me!

Impressions of blonde girls - 999.

"No, it's my fault." Chitanda Eru apologized earnestly. "When deciding on the lottery items, I thought I should first make sure that everyone could find something before I started preparing the lottery items, but I was too simplistic, which is why this oversight occurred. I'm very sorry."

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) pressed on relentlessly, "What's the use of just apologizing? I..."

"Don't get too cocky, you bastard. Chitanda apologized because she was sorry for her immature thinking, not specifically to you," Toyohama Kazuka (Shirokage) said with a sneer. "I advise someone not to be so self-important—and don't even think about using this as an excuse to let you write the lottery results. No way!"

"You're slandering me out of thin air." Baiying (Yang Nai) glared at the other party and said in a stern voice, "I never thought of writing things like 'the person I like' or 'Baiying's approval' in the lottery results."

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) rolled their eyes and asked the others, "What do you all think of my suggestion to expel him from the discussion?"

Everyone agreed. Chitanda Eru's preparations might have some issues, but if Hakukage were to join in, wouldn't that turn a small problem into a big one?!

This guy isn't so bad, is he?

Miura Yumiko has somewhat restored my impression.

“But the specific content still needs to be changed.” Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) shook their heads and said, “If the content is too simple, some people may notice the loopholes and prepare the items needed for the competition in advance. If the content is too specific, it should be a project that allows the contestants to use their brains. However, the freedom of choice is sealed off from the answer. Such a competition is very easy to get boring.”

"Yes, I've been thinking about that too."

Chitanda Eru racked her brains, somewhat troubled: "Does Toyohama have any good ideas?"

"That's simple. Although the rules are a competition using borrowed objects, the definition of 'object' can be broader. For example, a song or a dance, allowing the contestants to perform an artistic act on the spot. Furthermore, the ideas can be expanded even further. Simply using colors is also acceptable. You could even deliberately write the drawing of lots in an abstract and general way, and when the contestants find their objects and come to the starting line, the referee could ask them to explain their reasoning or something like that..."

Toyohama and Hana (Shirokage) came up with a bunch of ideas, waved their sleeves, and disappeared into the crowd, vanishing so quickly that Shirokage (Yono), who was preparing to catch them, didn't even notice.

Strange? Wasn't this place just now?

When Mai Sakurajima (Wahana) walked over, she looked around for someone, while the slightly delayed relay race had officially begun.

Angelina, a member of the Red Team, and Houtarou Oreki, a member of the White Team; the former looked focused, while the latter looked listless.

"Well then, thank you for waiting—the match begins!"

Chitanda Eru excitedly announced the start of the match.

The two pulled out a note from the box.

The note had a single white character written on it.

White?

White shadow?

Or something white?

If there's only one white character, then capturing a white shadow could also explain it!

Angelina immediately thought of her target, glanced around the playground, and instantly spotted a figure in the crowd. She excitedly ran towards her target.

After watching his opponent leave, Oreki Houtarou, who hadn't moved from the starting line, coughed and raised his hand, saying, "I've finished the race."

"Huh?" Chitanda Eru asked, puzzled. "Oreki-kun, what are you looking for?"

"What I'm looking for is 'blue'."

Houtarou Oreki unfolded the note in his hand, placed it on the table, and gestured, "Please take a look."

The note had a single word written on it—Blue.

Chitanda Eru: "..."

Completely irrefutable!

Houtarou Oreki successfully slacked off, leaving Eru Chitanda feeling subtly conflicted.
