Uneasy daily life

The white-robed figure solemnly embellished the text with the following cultural embellishment: "A bright mirror reflects the mortal world, which cannot be wiped clean. It is inherently a mundane thing, so why question the human heart?"

"Since the Queen is the Queen, why is she troubled and bewildered by the flattery she receives? In my humble opinion, such thoughts are nothing but a fleeting, sentimental lament, commonly known as affectation and awkwardness." The white figure pointed, "A person who's living a fulfilling life should act like one! What's the point of pretending to be a literary youth?! Don't lay a hand on me—that's what the subordinate said!"

"#!"

Yumiko Miura slammed her hand on the table in exasperation: "Take him out and behead him!"

"Scumbag!"

The white figure bowed and accepted the order, then delivered a swift chop to Hachiman Hikigaya: "You big popular guy, give me your head!"

puff!

Hachiman Hikigaya has fallen.

"Then please welcome the next contestant!" The white figure gestured to Yukino Yukinoshita. "This hero is even more unwilling to cater to others, preferring to be a loner in any atmosphere. She emphasizes asking the truth about herself and others, and I'm sure she can provide you with the answers!"

Miura Yuko: "..."

"I'm actually quite surprised that you'd be bothered by something like this?" Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly. "Shouldn't you all be aware of this? Some people hide their feelings, some pretend to be crazy, some fake smile and flatter, and then there's a leader who forms a kind of positive social circle—take that classmate whose name I think is Ebina Hina, for example. She labels herself a fujoshi and talks about relationships between boys. Do you find that interesting?"

"Interesting?" Miura Yumiko thought of some rumors. "Interesting wouldn't be the best word; it's more like strangely interesting..."

“This is how that student integrates into the group,” Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly. “A circus needs a clown, and someone volunteers to wear the red nose. It’s that common. I thought you all should be aware of this… Did you think it was perfectly natural until Haku pointed it out? Because you’re popular and have strong social skills, you can bring others together into a lively and harmonious circle? It’s somewhat like Louis XVI claiming innocence and being difficult to judge.”

"You want to start a fight too, huh?!"

Yumiko Miura slammed her fist on the table in a fit of rage, her voice trembling with tears: "Chop her up too!"

"Scumbag!"

The white figure rolled up her sleeves, made a knife gesture with her hand, and approached Yukino Yukinoshita with a loud "Wah-yah!"

Yukino Yukinoshita raised her left hand, her gaze deep and unfathomable. Her slender, fair palm reflected the sunlight, as if it had gained a glint of cold light.

"Your sword has never been weak!"

The white figure shrank back, quickly skipping over this part of the story, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty! I have a brilliant plan!"

"Get out of here! I don't want to hear a word you say today! Drag yourself out and chop yourself up!"

Miura Yumiko was incredibly annoying; all she wanted to do was go on a killing spree.

"Your Majesty! Hear me!"

The white figure seemed to have been caught by an invisible person, struggling as it was pulled toward the door while shouting loudly, "The troubles you have now are the same troubles your sweetheart used to have! You're thinking about the same thing as him!"

what?

Hayato?

Miura Yumiko glared at him: "You come back here and explain yourself!"

"Prime Minister Bai broke free of the guards, swiftly resumed his original post, and returned unhurriedly to report..."

The white figure strolled back.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yumiko Miura, whose attitude had changed drastically, and felt quite speechless.

Arguing about logic, reality, and relationships was useless; in the end, love solved the problem?

Ok……

Although I wasn't confident enough to say that.

Chapter 120 The Prime Minister's Satire on the Queen's Acceptance of Advice Leads to His Death

"Your Majesty! Your troubles are the same troubles the Prince has!"

The White Prime Minister advised, “While the praise and adulation from others may give one a sense of self-satisfaction and affirmation, a closer look at those around us reveals that they harbor various motives. Their praise and adulation are not pure; they lack absolute loyalty to the Queen!”

"Oh, oh..." Queen Miura nodded indifferently, "What's Prince Hayato worried about?"

"The prince and Her Majesty the Queen share the same sorrows, troubled by their relationships with others."

Prime Minister Bai said.

"Sigh..." Queen Miura sighed, "Thinking about it carefully these days, although I have many friends and receive a lot of praise, I always feel a sense of emptiness. Yui said I'm fine and don't need to worry about it, Ebina said she's fine and I don't need to worry too much. I had a conversation with Prince Hayato before, and he said it was all your nonsense."

"Your Majesty! I am utterly loyal!"

Bai Zai hurriedly explained: "The beautiful queen of Yuihama is a private queen; the beautiful queen of Ebina is a queen who fears; the beautiful queen of Hayato Prince is a queen who wants to cause trouble out of nothing."

Queen Miura roared in anger: "You're the one stirring up trouble!"

"Your Majesty is wise! I was only doing this for Her Majesty's sake!"

Prime Minister Bai spoke with great conviction and sincerity, saying, "Your Majesty sits on the throne of the top girl in Class F, and is generous and magnanimous, admired by all! Men and women around her all respect the Queen, everyone in the class obeys the Queen, and everyone from all directions praises the Queen... From this, it is clear that the Queen is greatly favored!"

Queen Miura: "Human language!"

"Doesn't Your Majesty feel that you've lost your way amidst the praise and adulation?" Prime Minister Bai said earnestly. "Your Majesty doesn't understand the needs of your subjects, comprehend their problems, or even know their difficulties. On the contrary, Your Majesty is only now realizing that you've merely enjoyed their praise and acclaim, without doing anything for them, and this has given rise to feelings of shame and unease..."

"Excellent." After pondering for a moment, Queen Miura made the final decision and ordered, "Those ministers and friends who can directly point out my faults will receive the highest reward; those who can offer advice to me in writing will receive a medium reward; and those who can criticize me on campus and whose words reach my ears will receive the lowest reward!"

As soon as the order was given, Prime Minister Bai immediately raised his hand and shouted in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty! I will assassinate you!"

"Say!"

"The Queen befriends the eccentric and ordinary Ebina to highlight her own beauty, subtly demonstrating her friendliness and tolerance! The Queen befriends the beautiful Yuigahama Yui to show that among pretty girls, she is the most eye-catching, subtly implying a desire to win her over through comparison and contrast! The Queen has always been dissatisfied with the Hero, not only because he is beautiful, but also because he doesn't consider the atmosphere, always acting alone and treating her as nothing special, subtly revealing her dissatisfaction, anger, and desire for conflict! From this perspective, the Queen's flaws are numerous!"

puff!

Before Queen Miura could reply, Prime Minister Bai immediately pulled out his phone, pointed at it, and showed it to Her Majesty the Queen.

【Your Majesty! You are also someone who causes His Majesty the Prince such distress! As for you, Yubi Binhai, while he claims to be close, is actually distant. The difference is that he has a clear understanding of this, while you do not, which is why he rejects your rash kindness!】

puff!

Miura's expression was contorted as she tried to calm herself down.

Prime Minister Bai is still in action!

He grabbed the eunuch Hikigaya, who had already been executed for offending the Queen, and whispered in a voice just loud enough for Queen Miura to hear, "Eunuch Hikigaya, Her Majesty the Queen is in a whim today, indulging in melancholy. She'll probably forget about it tomorrow and change her mind all the time... Judging from her emotional behavior, now that she understands why she was rejected, she probably doesn't want to be a hero. It seems she's neither willing nor suitable to be the executive chairman of the cultural festival..."

puff!

"What kind of cultural festival executive committee chairman is this? I'd rather not take the job!"

Queen Miura was furious and couldn't help but let out a few sobs.

"Ah... the prime minister has ulterior motives! He wants to provoke Her Majesty the Queen to abdicate so that he can support his niece to ascend the throne, allowing her to wear a sword and shoes in the palace, not to bow when entering the court, and not to be named when being praised, just like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao used to control the court!"

Hikigaya suddenly feigned death and spoke, revealing Prime Minister Shiro's good intentions.

Queen Miura was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily, "White Shadow!"

“Your Majesty! Listening to both sides leads to enlightenment!” Prime Minister Bai argued. “I have criticized you to your face, submitted a memorial, and been ridiculed in the marketplace. I should receive rewards of the highest, middle, and lowest rank! Why is Your Majesty angry? If you lack the capacity to tolerate others, the country will be in turmoil…”

"You misunderstood. I said that those who directly criticize me will be punished severely! Those who offer advice to me in writing will be punished moderately! Those who slander me in the marketplace and whose words reach my ears will be punished severely!"

Queen Miura immediately changed her tune: "You shall be subjected to the three punishments: upper, middle, and lower!"

When the decree was first issued, many people submitted memorials to offer their advice, and as a result, the prime minister was executed. Several months later, people still occasionally submitted memorials to offer their advice. After a year, even if someone wanted to offer their advice, they dared not say anything.

"In the end, the cultural festival, spearheaded by Queen Miura, suffered a crushing defeat due to her stubbornness. This is a story that serves as a warning to those monarchs who refuse to listen to advice, urging them to take opinions seriously. I have titled it 'The Prime Minister's Advice to the Queen to Accept Criticism Leads to His Execution'..."

Bai Ying typed on the keyboard, writing the story with a sorrowful tone. Then, she frowned and pondered, "Hmm, this sentence feels like it could be changed? Those who directly criticize me will be castrated time and again! Those who offer advice to me via text message will be executed in the autumn! Those who slander me in the marketplace, and whose words reach my ears, will have their faces tattooed and be exiled thousands of miles away..."

"What does 'good intentions' mean? What does 'time after time' mean..." Hachiman Hikigaya started to complain, then changed the subject, "Never mind, it's better not to know about these things."

Yumiko Miura's fists were already clenched: "You're just trying to take this opportunity to insult me, aren't you?!"

"Look—I'm just telling you the truth, and you're going to kill me," the white-clad figure said defiantly. "Do you think anyone else will dare to tell you the truth after this?"

Yumiko Miura hesitated slightly.

"Don't get caught up in Shiro's words." Yukino Yukinoshita commented calmly. "Whether someone is willing to confide in you is one thing, but pointing fingers at you is another... In short, you have to decide for yourself what kind of changes you want in your relationships. Of course, if you're willing to entrust this to someone, I can help you."

Yumiko Miura looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with a very strange expression and mood, and said subtly, "You're not so bad after all..."

Whether you like me or not has nothing to do with me.

Yukino Yukinoshita casually said, "If you just feel embarrassed because your slightly dark thoughts have been pointed out, there's no need to worry. It's normal to have some extreme and dark thoughts at times. Rather than emphasizing whether they are right or wrong, facing them is the only solution... at least that's how it is for me."

She gently smoothed her hair, shifted her chair, and turned her laptop sideways towards Miura Yumiko: "Anyway, I've prepared a plan for the general flow of the cultural festival based on your feedback. Please take a look and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with or have any questions about... Hmm? What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Yumiko Miura looked away, suddenly finding this guy incredibly dazzling—what the heck?!

Tsk, I kind of understand this guy now. No wonder he doesn't have many friends. He doesn't go along with the atmosphere and instead picks on other people. How can he have friends? But if he just goes along with the atmosphere, he can't understand or get close to Hayato. He can only stay at the level of a superficial friend.

The two huddled together to discuss the cultural festival, while Yui Yuigahama, sitting on the other end, blinked, inexplicably feeling a bit out of place in the atmosphere.

"General, what do you think?"

"……what?"

"Yuigahama has become an outsider..."

"I don't know much about girls' stuff."

Wow! You two!

Yui Yuigahama rolled her eyes angrily in the other direction, feeling even more awkward. She felt that her efforts to join in on Yuki and the others' conversation had only confirmed Shiro's words...

Hachiman Hikigaya looked down and flipped through the light novel, feeling a little sentimental. Yukinoshita seemed to have changed a bit. She no longer viewed other people's superficial interactions with coldness and sarcasm, but instead gradually became more tolerant and understanding... If you really want to talk about it, maybe she herself has changed a bit too.

It seems like it's been a long time since we've heard people say "real-life people are going to explode," but instead, we're the ones being told "real-life people are going to explode."

Damn, high school life is full of problems!

……

……

After discussing the cultural festival, Miura Yumiko left with a heavy heart. As it was nearing the end of the school day, Yui Yuigahama and Hachiman Hikigaya noticed the unusual atmosphere and consciously went home first.

The white figure was furiously typing on the keyboard, probably because he had just made a scene and enjoyed the excitement, and his inspiration was bursting forth uncontrollably.

"Bai-kun, what happened between you and my sister the other day?" Yukino Yukinoshita coughed lightly and asked. "Yesterday I called my mother and she told me not to worry about my sister. Later I called my sister again... Hmm, I can't tell if she was telling the truth or not. She was more or less teasing me."

"in short……"

Bai Ying took a moment to reply: "Your sister is ungrateful! She used her ancestral Aikido to slam me to the ground! What an ingrate! Awooo!"

"So..." Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, then said calmly, "Could it be that when my sister asked for help, Shiro pushed her away?"

"NONONO! 9528 is not a hero. She doesn't have the habit of relying on others. Let me give you a real demonstration."

"Ok?"

Bai Ying paused typing for a moment, gripped the edge of the chair with both hands, stuck his buttocks to the chair, and moved over to Yukino Yukinoshita in a few quick steps. His expression turned serious, and his gaze fell on Yukino Yukinoshita's puzzled face. His eyes met, then moved to her cheeks, and finally landed on her pale lips, which were like cherry blossoms.

stare--!

Yukino reached for a book beside her, using it to cover her nose and below, her eyes seemingly dim and lifeless: "Could it be that my sister wants to..."

"She wanted me to stay the night; she had ulterior motives!"

"?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes widened involuntarily.

"Then the aunt and brother on the other end of the phone overheard it."

"..."

No wonder the mother sounded like she knew everything.

Yukino Yukinoshita thought she was already very mature, but she still held back for several seconds before finally exclaiming, "The white fungus is really resilient to survive, even though it wasn't killed by my sister."

"Hahaha! That's right!" Bai Ying moved herself and the stool back, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I was on the phone at the time, and there were aunties and brothers listening in. If there hadn't been a phone call, I would have had another, even more brilliant excuse in mind, which would have made 9528 completely bewildered and run away in panic..."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned almost imperceptibly: "Hmm? What excuse?"

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, let's start with a questionnaire. Do you prefer the missionary position, the woman-on-top position, the front-woman-back-man position, the side-woman-back-man position, or the side-man-back-woman position..."

Halfway through Bai Ying's rambling speech, Yukino Yukinoshita was already bewildered, her face filled with panic and helplessness. Holding a book in her hand, she slapped Bai Ying's head repeatedly, interrupting his incoherent rambling.

"You filthy, perverted white fungus, go crawl into the sewer with your dog-crawl-like handwriting!"

Leaving behind a sarcastic remark that had little real impact, Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed her schoolbag and fled to the classroom door. Suddenly realizing what had happened, she turned and glared at the white figure inside with murderous intent.

The white-clad figure, who was grinning wildly, froze. He quickly sat up straight, raised his hand to his chin, and spoke with an air of maturity and earnestness: "The hero has changed a lot. Not only can he genuinely face his predicament, but he can also detach himself from prejudice and calmly view those relationships that he doesn't approve of. This will surely make him an upright and hardworking person..."
