Uneasy daily life

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly, realizing what she meant, and couldn't help but let out a cold sigh: "Does Shiraki-kun mean that I will become weak?"

"No no no..."

The white figure paused briefly to prepare.

……

……

My time is coming to an end.

In a daze, Granny Yukinoshita saw the finish line. She calmly put down the book in her hand, her silver hair neatly coiled on her head, and her kimono was clean.

Looking up at the time, Grandma Yukinoshita thought of her close friends of many years.

Even though we saw each other less and less because of college and our own paths in life, we still kept in touch. Just last week, they had a gathering for seniors in the park. Little did I know that would be the last memory I left them...

Looking at the hands of the clock, Granny Yukinoshita recounted her life. She thought that she had adhered to the ideas of integrity, righteousness, and courage, and that she had never had any regrets in her life, which was already quite perfect.

She suddenly longed to see her friends and say a final goodbye, even though they were all at this age and had mentioned it in many gatherings and jokes, even betting on who would go first... But when the time actually came, her feelings were different.

Unable to say goodbye to friends in other places, my strength is gradually fading away, and I don't even have the chance to send a text message.

How wonderful it would be to hug them.

It turns out that the last breath a person takes is called regret.

……

"Simply put, that's it!"

Bai Ying clenched her fist and said, "The more people value something, the more regrets they will have about it..."

"And what about you?" Yukino Yukinoshita interrupted him, squinting her eyes.

"Me? I've always been curious whether the big truck is really a teleporter to another world."

Bai Ying was indeed quite curious: was the coffin a teleportation device to another world, or a large truck?

"I mean, why aren't you in the story?" Yukino Yukinoshita corrected, a little annoyed.

Bai Ying suggested an idea: "Because I've already been taken away by a big truck?"

Yukino Yukinoshita chimed in with a grin, "Because I was out wandering around with that rascal, and when I got home I found out that Yukino-chan had passed away peacefully?"

That sounds even more tragic than Bai Jun's tragic ending!

"Let's leave the topic of looking ahead to the end of life here, Shiro-kun, stop making a fuss about it." Yukino Yukinoshita changed the subject, "What are you planning to buy, sister?"

Yukinoshita, stroking her chin, gave an example: "Large pet dogs?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: “?”

"Wang Wang!"

Some people on the street subconsciously turned their heads—Huh? I don't see a dog? Where did that barking come from?

"Mommy! It's Dog Brother!"

The little girl, being led by her young mother, pointed curiously at the white figure.

The young mother, who was looking at her phone, felt a little embarrassed. When did her child learn to swear?

"Woof woof!" The white figure peeked out and smiled at the little girl, letting out a pure dog bark.

The little girl giggled.

"Woof!" The white figure let out a soft, youthful bark.

The little girl's eyes widened, and she puffed out her cheeks: "Woof?"

The two were exchanging glances across the distance.

The young mother felt a little embarrassed and scared—anyone can imitate a dog's bark, but to imitate it so well, with such a lifelike expression, was something else entirely.

Yukino Yukinoshita stretched out her hand in front of the white shadow, startling the white shadow into jumping back.

The young mother quickly pulled her child away.

"Woof?!"

"Don't learn this!"

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The little girl barked at her mother in a crisp, clear dog-like voice.

"I can't learn to read characters, but I learn these things very quickly."

The young seedling has become a little crooked.

Bai Ying said regretfully, "This child's potential is unfathomable; he has the potential to learn my unique skill..."

"It's not a good thing that Shiro-kun is infected." Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head and clicked her tongue. "That rascal is quite good at playing with kids. He'll definitely become the kind of person who spoils children in the future."

“That’s definitely not the case,” Bai Ying recalled. “According to my child, he was very grateful to have escaped with his life from me.”

Yukino Yukinoshita: "A child?"

Yukinoshita Haruno asked playfully, "When you were playing house, you were the dad?"

"Yeah, when we played together in the park, I won rock-paper-scissors and became the dad. I gave that kid a few math problems on the spot. If he could answer them, he could play on the slide. If he couldn't answer them, he could only watch me play on the slide..." Bai Ying concluded with lingering enthusiasm, "Other people's kids are so much more fun."

"Don't you have your own children?"

Yukino Yukinoshita suppressed her subconscious reaction and suddenly asked curiously, "Didn't you come out to go shopping, sister? You've already passed by several different types of stores, haven't you?"

"Oh right, it's time to find a store to buy something."

Yukinoshita Haruno replied with a smile.

She did indeed quickly find a women's clothing store and led the two of them inside.

Hmm... I have quite a few styles that I like.

Yukino Yukinoshita walked through the clothes rack and was suddenly struck by a bright feeling. Autumn was just around the corner, and she hadn't prepared any autumn clothes in her wardrobe yet.

Thick stockings? Or thinner pantyhose? This light blue long-sleeved shirt is nice, and that white dress over there is quite pretty, although keeping it clean is a bit of a hassle... Maybe we should ask Baijun for her opinion?

Yukino Yukinoshita came to her senses and realized that her older sister and Shirokage had disappeared.

What about people?

She looked around and took a few steps toward the door.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Shirokage sat on the men's waiting bench at the entrance, looking down at their phones.

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and approached him slowly, her gaze cold and sharp.

"Your bragging isn't very good. Watch me."

"Hmph~ You're quite the scoundrel. Looks like I need to change my approach and try using reverse psychology."

The two exchanged a casual remark before continuing to use their phones.

Yukino Yukinoshita peeked out and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm having a bragging contest with 9528!"

Bai Ying took a moment to reply.

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita looked puzzled. Seeing this, the two moved aside to make room for Yukino Yukinoshita and took the opportunity to show her the contents of their phones.

It was a video website, and the screen displayed the ever-growing number of comments in the comment section.

[Guitar fan: What an amazing guitar! The poster must have overcome countless difficulties to achieve this level of skill!]

[Guitar Hero: It's not that exaggerated.]

...Is this Goto?

Yukino's expression was subtle.

[Guitar fan: It must be like a sword blade on a whetstone, pushed and pulled in lead-gray sewage, refined by time, before revealing its cold, sharp edge!]

[Guitar Hero: Uh... it's alright.]

[Guitar fan: Absolutely fantastic! So good it's clearly the result of a long time's work! It's incredibly beautiful!]

[Guitar Hero: It didn't take too long.]

[Guitar fan: I'm so envious of the uploader's skills! With such amazing guitar playing, the uploader must be very popular!]

[Guitar Hero: I guess so, I'm pretty popular.]

[Guitar prodigy Shang: I'm so envious. I also want to be a popular girl at school, eating lunch together and chatting about celebrities and fashion.]

Guitar Hero: Terrifying!

[Guitar prodigy: ?]

[Guitar fan: Being so popular must sometimes be a problem, right? Like not knowing which friends to hang out with.]

[Guitar Hero: Yeah, that's a downside of being too popular. I often don't know whether to go to karaoke with one friend or go shopping with another. It's quite a dilemma, haha.]

Of these three people, the two smaller accounts are clearly Bai Jun and her sister.

Guitar Hero... that's Goto, right?

Yukino Yukinoshita had a strange look in her eyes.

[Guitar prodigy: Really? I feel like the uploader is exaggerating?]

[Guitar fan: This uploader is a real social butterfly, why would he need to brag to you?]

[Guitar Hero: Yeah, I wasn't bragging.]

[Guitar prodigy: The uploader always wears pink tracksuits in his videos, which is so unfashionable, how can he possibly be popular?]

[Guitar fan: Vulgar people follow trends, brilliant people become trendsetters, and those with their own taste are truly fashionable! In this instrument section where clothing is becoming increasingly scarce, the uploader goes against the grain, insisting on wearing sportswear while playing guitar, proving their musical talent!]

[Guitar Hero: Yes, I hope people will listen to my music, rather than focus on my outfits. Of course, I do wear nice clothes sometimes.]

[Guitar fan: The uploader's skills are so good, they must be a very famous musician, right?]

[Guitar prodigy: Really? I don't believe it, the uploader looks quite young.]

[Guitar fan: Ha, never heard of a genius? If a bunch of old men represent the pinnacle of music, it only means the industry is doomed.]

[Guitar Hero: Haha, I might just be a genius.]

[Guitar fan: Exceptionally talented, famous at a young age, cheerful and outgoing, popular—how annoying! Why is the uploader's life so perfect? ​​I'm so envious.]

[Guitar Hero: It's alright~]

[Different strokes for different folks: @GuitarHero: What a load of rubbish! How long has it been since you updated? I thought Guitar Hero was dead!]

[Guitar Hero: I've been busy with my studies lately, so updates will be coming soon!]

[Guitar fan: Is the uploader busy with studies? Perhaps a student at the University of Tokyo?]

Guitar Hero didn't reply, probably thinking about the video.

"I think I won."

Bai Ying turned her head and said.

“Without my objection, how can your praise stand out?” Yukinoshita Haruno said. “I think I win.”

Yukino Yukinoshita said quietly, "I think you two need to reflect on your actions and apologize to Goto properly!"

"Hiss—!" Bai Ying gasped. "What a vicious heart the hero has! She actually wants us to publicly strip the hero pro of her disguise and humiliate her severely. How terrifying!"

Yukino sighed, "Alas, Yukino-chan has finally followed the path of Mother's lack of understanding of people's hearts. I am very sad."

＃！

"You're even singing in unison..."

Yukino Yukinoshita finds it hard to imagine what Goto Ichiri's state is like.

These two are indeed having a bragging contest, with Goto Ichiri's life as the stake.
