Uneasy daily life

"Didn't the hero disdain superficial social interactions? I'm just going along with the host's arrangements. Besides, what kind of heavy-flavored food is this? That's just your prejudice." Bai Ying (Yang Nai) quickly steered the conversation back on track. "This is still your cooking. Come, come, take a bite and experience a whole new world, ah—"

"I just followed the recipe; I have no interest in trying it myself."

After Yukino Yukinoshita refused again, she looked at the pork kidney on the other person's chopsticks, feeling somewhat resentful for having miscalculated: "I'm not very interested in offal or similar foods, it would be strange if you could accept it..."

"..."

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) stuffed the pork kidney on her chopsticks into her mouth, making a loud chewing sound: "I don't consider cooking with strong-smelling ingredients like offal, but these kinds of ingredients are very common at street vendors. After ordering them a few times at gatherings, I naturally don't have any psychological barriers to them. You probably feel like you're scrubbing off a layer of skin when you handle this kind of stinky ingredient yourself, right?"

Yukinoshita Yono (Yukino): "..."

Bai Ying (Yang Nai): "..."

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and the air was unusually quiet.

"How was it playing Haku-kun?" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled. "Was my cooking good?"

"Delicious, of course it's delicious." Shirokage (Yono) picked up another piece with her chopsticks. "Being able to eat the food made by Yukino-chan herself, Shirokage is already deeply moved by her affection! Yukino-chan, I love it the most!"

"Thank you."

Yukino Yukinoshita replied casually, "Sister, you should save your breath. Saying things like that to your own face is true narcissism."

"Damn it! How did I get exposed?!"

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) didn't understand: "Sakurajima Mai told you? That jerk told you?"

"I figured it out myself," Yukino Yukinoshita said quietly. "Surely you don't think you acted that well, do you?"

"Ugh—I'm exhausted from acting! The jerk character is totally out of my league!" Bai Ying (Yang Nai) put down her chopsticks, picked up the water glass on the table, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

“My sister is good at being a good girl and a social butterfly, which is quite different from Shiro-kun.” Yukino Yukinoshita smiled happily, and said regretfully, “It’s a pity that I let it slip and I couldn’t get my sister to add more scenes.”

"This has nothing to do with you letting it slip," Baiying (Yang Nai) said, pouting. "I noticed when you wouldn't obediently stick your mouth out!"

"what?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, how could Yukino-chan possibly refuse a jerk's food?!" Shirokage (Yono) said with certainty, holding a water glass. "You probably subconsciously looked around, then felt embarrassed but quickly accepted the food, then chewed it slowly at ten times the speed, and finally calmed down and pretended to naturally praise your own cooking skills!"

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita snorted irritably: "The way my sister makes up stories and argues so illogically is somewhat like Haku-kun."

Filled with the novel joy of successfully playing a trick, Yukino Yukinoshita packed up her lunchbox and left with light steps.

Bai Ying (Yang Nai) drank another glass of water, enduring the burning sensation on her tongue and the lingering dull pain. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Even if Yukino-chan sensed something was wrong, she should have been fooled by her own feelings first!

That was definitely the work of a bastard!

Ouch—it's so spicy, so spicy, so spicy…

……

……

[White Shadow is a Scoundrel: Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have such weird fetishes.]

[It's not about flowers: Please provide context.]

[Yang Nai Ben Nai: The teacher did not provide a standard question, so 0 points are deducted.]

[White Shadow is a Jerk: Yukino-chan just made me a really spicy meal, and after eating it I realized you're not good at eating spicy food at all. Now I feel terrible all over—you really do have this weird fetish of deriving pleasure from pain, right?]

[Yono Honno: A true warrior dares to face dripping blood! The difference between a psychopath and a warrior lies in the determination to overcome fear!]

[White Shadow is a Scoundrel: I see, so the conclusion is that you find eating spicy food painful, but overcoming the pain brings joy.]

[White Shadow is a Scoundrel: It's not impossible to understand, so do you prefer to step on him or pinch him?]

[Yonae Honnai: I think you completely misunderstand! The next day, you have to force yourself to be exhausted and listless, yet still be full of energy for a vigorous night's battle. Even if you have to sit on the toilet in a daze, you still have the resolve to order extra spicy barbecue and specify extra spice! Mere physical limitations can be completely overcome with the spirit!]

[White Shadow is a Scoundrel: Heh.]

[Yono Honno: It's a bit of a shame I didn't get to try the hero's heavy-flavored dishes. Given her meticulous nature, her skills should be almost as good as Japanese cuisine.]

[White Shadow is a Scoundrel: Is that so? Then let's switch back, and you'll be able to savor the lingering taste of Yukino-chan's Chinese cuisine.]

[Yang Nai Ben Nai: Slightly spicy in the chest, hot in the stomach, and tingling in the mouth and tongue?]

[The white figure is a scoundrel: How do you know that so clearly?]

[Yang Nai Ben Nai: So, the hero is already at the medium spicy level, and the extra spicy level is just around the corner. Besides, based on my experience, he'll be rushing to the toilet for a good, satisfying meal tomorrow morning.]

The chat was killed.

Even with her thick skin, Haruno couldn't withstand such a conversation.

Who wants to experience something so uninteresting!

We must find a way to switch back as soon as possible, to get back to our healthy body, free of bad habits!

Yukino's words conveyed a particularly sincere and intense appeal.

……

……

When Feng Bin's mother got home from get off work, she changed her shoes and walked into the house. She was thinking about her daughter's unusual behavior when she suddenly noticed someone watching TV on the sofa.

The moment she recognized him, she frowned and asked in a cold tone, "So you're finally not busy today?"

"...Didn't you tell me to take Kaori out to play?"

Feng Bin's father replied irritably, his eyes still fixed on the television screen.

When her daughter was mentioned, Feng Bin's mother's attention shifted: "How is He Hua? Is she alright?"

Feng Bin's father thought about the day's events and casually said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, he's very lively."

"She's fine like that?" Feng Bin's mother exclaimed anxiously. "She's not usually like this! You can't even tell something's wrong with her?!"

"How would I know what she had to do!"

Feng Bin's father snorted and turned his head away: "Isn't it all you who's in charge of her? If you're in charge of her, why are you asking me?"

Feng Bin's mother retorted angrily, "What do you mean, 'Why should I ask you this?' She's your daughter!"

"My daughter? Did you tell me what to do with her?!" Feng Bin's father also became agitated. "You have to do what you want..."

"What? Sakurajima Mai is your daughter, but Kazuha isn't?!" Toyohama's mother was even angrier.

"No, what does this have to do with Mai?! Tell me... never mind!"

Feng Bin's father slapped his thigh in anger and got up to leave. Suddenly, he noticed a head popping out from the corner of the living room and hallway, looking at him with great interest.

He paused for a moment, then coughed forcefully... He almost forgot that he and Hua had already gone home.

Following his gaze, Feng Bin's mother also saw her daughter peeking at them. She froze on the spot, swallowed back what she was about to say, and changed the subject: "When did you come back?"

"Keep going, this is the most exciting part!"

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) excitedly steered the conversation back on track. They entered the living room, arms crossed, and confidently declared, “As one of the parties involved, if I were to evaluate your debate from three perspectives—logic, emotion, and content—Mom’s logic was slightly weaker. Although she brought up the ‘father-daughter relationship,’ it wasn’t as convincing as Dad’s ‘whoever teaches is responsible’ argument. Emotionally, Mom’s feelings were strong and powerful, while Dad seemed somewhat guilty, remaining passive and evasive throughout, making him slightly inferior to Mom. As for the content, let’s not even go there. Both sides lacked wit, humor, and sharp wit; they were evenly matched, not worth close examination.”

"Overall, Mom wins in terms of emotion, while Dad wins in terms of logic. At present, they are evenly matched and it is difficult to determine a winner."

Feng Bin's father: "..."

Feng Bin's mother: "???"

The two stared dumbfounded as their daughter pointed and gestured. After she finished speaking, she stepped back slightly to make room, then raised her hand with a serious expression and said, "Alright! Intermission is over. Dad, Mom, get back to your positions. Family PvP, Round Two—Begin!"

A sharp slash of the hand descended between the two, as if severing their souls. Feng Bin's father and mother stared in disbelief, motionless.

Toyohama and Hana (Shirokage) remained standing in the position, still in the posture of slashing with their hands.

Quiet is the Toyohama family home tonight.

One thousand years later...

"Huh? Why are the two players just standing here in a daze?"

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Are you still going to compete? My sister and I are waiting to see!"

"elder sister?"

Feng Bin's mother hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where are you from...?"

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) couldn't hide any longer. She walked into the living room, her face full of black lines. Had she been tricked by that jerk again? Give me a break and understand who you are now!

She punched and kicked the white image in her mind, throwing it around, while Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) awkwardly greeted it.

"Ahem, um... Auntie, Uncle, Uncle, good evening."

Chapter Sixty-One: Taking Down Your Household Registration Book

Fengbin's house.

The child's room.

Sakurajima Mai (Waka) took a closer look at her room and noticed many new signs: an overly tidy wardrobe and desk, with girlish decorations on the desk, including a small cactus pot.

I don't know if it was done under the heavy snow, or if it was done by some jerk, but touching someone else's room inappropriately is really...

"Hey—you didn't go through the closet, did you?"

Sakurajima Mai (Waka) suddenly realized something she should have thought of long ago, and couldn't help but show a horrified expression to Toyohama Waka (Shirokage).

"Not yet."

Feng Bin and Hua (Shirokage) sat on the edge of the bed and replied honestly, "If we delay for a few more days, things like taking a bath, going to the toilet, and changing clothes will be unavoidable."

"Then switch it back right now! Get that Darkshine to switch it back!" Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. "Or do you want to be a pervert?!"

"Although I don't shower, don't like using the toilet, and only change my clothes once a month, I'm definitely not a pervert..."

"Isn't this abnormal?!"

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) took a step back in horror, completely unable to imagine what kind of creature's ecological habits this was!

"So?" Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) shrugged. "Going forward is perverted, retreating is perverted too. Stickman, you're too troublesome, aren't you?"

"This... isn't right!" Mai Sakurajima (Wahana) straightened her thinking and retorted, "You, a boy, have been a pervert ever since you turned into a girl!"

"Have it?"

The blonde girl tilted her head slightly, composed herself, exuding a natural tranquility. Her brows were slightly lowered, revealing gentleness, and her lips were subtly pursed, holding a friendly smile.

Sakurajima Mai (Waka) was bewildered by the wind. It was clearly her own face, but she seemed to be exuding an aura that was completely unlike her, more like a young girl's?!

"You...you...you can act like a girl so convincingly? You're a real pervert!"

"This is no good, that is no good. Sister is always so strict. What can I do to please her?"

The blonde girl sat sideways on the edge of the bed, turning her head away. She used one hand to prop up her delicate, willow-like body, while raising her index finger to catch tears. Her lips parted slightly, and she sobbed softly, as if lamenting, "Today, I've realized it's not that this or that is bad, it's that I'm making you feel bad, it's that I'm unworthy of your attention... *sobs*..."

Mai Sakurajima (Wahana) felt her restless feet overwhelm the strange feelings she had about facing 'herself'.

Why does this guy seem more...more like a girl than me?!

Yeah, like those annoying same-sex guys who make you want to punch them.

Hearing voices outside, Sakurajima Mai (Waka) snapped out of her daze. Her mother was back?! She was immediately flustered. Damn it, it was all that jerk's nonsense, he forgot to ask what to do later.

"Hmm? It sounds like they're arguing?"

Feng Bin and Hua (Bai Ying) instantly dropped their mournful expressions, excitedly ran to the door, grabbed the doorknob and gently pushed the door open to prevent it from making a sound due to the gap, and then pressed the handle to open the door silently and slipped out through the crack.

How are you so skilled? Do you have extensive experience as a thief?

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) watched this scene with a strange expression, and quickly took a step to chase after it.

In the living room, Feng Bin's mother and father were having a heated argument, and the tension was building. The closer they got, the louder the sounds of their argument became.

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) felt a jumble of emotions welling up inside her, and her steps gradually slowed down. Was it fear? Worry? Hesitation? She couldn't tell what she was feeling, but... she just couldn't take a step.

I felt like a rabbit hopping through the forest, vaguely aware that the area ahead belonged to predators, so I cautiously kept my distance. Meanwhile, another rabbit, much like myself, whether naive or incredibly bold, peeked out from around the corner, looking like it was ready to watch the show...

Ugh, this is so annoying, what am I even thinking?

At the corner, Toyohama Kazuka (White Shadow) peeked around for a while, but didn't see any other heads. She turned around and looked at Sakurajima Mai (Kazuka), who was standing there in a daze, and waved her hand: "What are you standing there for? Come and see, your dad and mom are arguing so loudly."

踹。

Sakurajima Mai (Wahana) responded by kicking the other person's shin in annoyance, her face full of frustration, and she didn't want to talk.
