Uneasy daily life

"Huh?!" Yumiko Miura's expression instantly turned ghostly. "What are you saying with those dead fish eyes?!"

Hachiman Hikigaya immediately turned to his novel and casually said, "I worry about whether the girls I like have good relationships with their classmates, what troubles they have, and whether they're being neglected. For example, if someone was a little embarrassed to talk about joining the Service Club and started to hesitate, I would assume they must have encountered some unspeakable problem and I would have to call them over and interrogate them to find out the truth... Isn't there a saying online? There's a kind of worry called 'Mom thinks you have worries'?"

Yuigahama Yui: "..."

"Who's acting like a nanny!" Miura Yumiko roared. "Want to start a fight? I'll kill you!"

"Hmm... she does give off a traditional mother vibe, doesn't she?" Yukino Yukinoshita pondered. "Although she cares a lot about people she likes, she only cares in her own way, doesn't really understand their inner troubles, and tends to overreact, causing distress to the people involved, without even realizing it herself..."

Yumiko Miura retorted sharply, "You're the old woman!"

“I was just thinking about what happened with Yui.” Yukino Yukinoshita pondered, “I noticed that Yui seemed to be troubled, so I interrogated her in the classroom, ignoring everyone else. Thinking about it, it was a bit like a mother’s behavior. I misunderstood you back then and thought you had some kind of abnormal controlling desire, even controlling who your friends were friends with. Now I think it was just a normal overflow of maternal instinct. I’m so sorry for misunderstanding you.”

Yumiko Miura blushed, slammed her hand on the table repeatedly, and argued in a loud voice, "That's called concern!" "You're the one overflowing with maternal instinct!" "I was just worried that Yuihama's friendship with a weirdo would lower her reputation!" and so on.

"Isn't this what it feels like to avoid hanging out with underachieving students?"

Hachiman Hikigaya subconsciously translated it.

Yumiko Miura suddenly turned her head, her fist clenched, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and her face contorted with an angry smile: "You're that weirdo!"

There's a subtle feeling about the snow beneath the snow... This expression and attitude seem familiar.

Yui Yuigahama quickly tried to smooth things over: "Ah! Weren't we talking about Ebina?"

"Ahem! I have a plan..."

Hachiman Hikigaya quickly tried to redeem himself, raising his index finger and saying, "Ebina's problem is that she's very comfortable in your circle. Although she hates having to pretend to be a fujoshi, she's more worried about being ostracized by the group, so she doesn't want any changes... Why don't you strongly criticize her for having incorrect ideas when she expresses fujoshi content? That way, Ebina can naturally change her persona and give others the feeling that Ebina had to change because of your criticism."

In short, top figures in social circles, please make the necessary sacrifices!

Yumiko Miura frowned and pondered.

"No way!" Yui Yuigahama objected loudly. "If Yumiko does this, it will only make Hina more vulnerable to being ostracized! Besides, how can we let Yumiko do something that will make people dislike her! Why does Hachiman always come up with such terrible ideas!"

“Okay, then let me do it.” Hachiman Hikigaya said matter-of-factly, “Anyway, I’m already a big popular person, so it doesn’t matter whether people like me or not. Ebina’s way of integrating into the group is too extreme. Clowns can certainly generate topics, but they are also easy to dislike. As long as I speak for everyone’s dissatisfaction and accusations, I can give Ebina a chance to change his image…”

"?"

Yui Yuigahama exclaimed angrily, "Hachiman is a big idiot!"

Yumiko Miura: The Death Gaze.

Hikigaya Hachiman: "..."

Ah, so annoying.

Is it true that when people are bound by constraints, they easily become restricted and even unable to do so, to the point of harming themselves?

"I really don't understand whether you two have a really good relationship or if it's just superficial." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head slightly, took out her phone and pressed some buttons. She really couldn't figure out the situation and could only consult someone outside the venue.

"Hmm, you replied quickly... The way to defeat fake fujoshi is to defeat heterosexuals with homosexuality?"

Yukino tilted her head, a bunch of question marks appearing above her head.

The three of them roughly guessed who Yukino Yukinoshita was contacting, so they all looked over.

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was quite interesting. Beneath her cold exterior, there were moments of confusion, moments of oddness, moments of suppressed laughter, and moments of speechlessness. As she was pressing her phone, she suddenly noticed that there was no sound around her. She subconsciously looked up and met the gazes of the others, feeling a pang of embarrassment. She forced a straight expression and said, "Haku-kun's proposal is a performance. You find Hayato Hayama to practice romantic comedy, and he will play the one who steals your love."

Miura Yumiko's face instantly scrunched up like a bun: "That guy? What the hell? Shouldn't you be the one going up?"

"You may have misunderstood something."

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "When he said 'stealing love,' he meant taking away Hayato Hayama."

Miura Yuko: "???"

……

……

On the playground, Angelina raised her hand to turn off the small speaker. Chitanda Eru, who had just finished a festival dance, asked excitedly, "Uncle Shiro! How did it feel?"

“Niece, your subordinates are excellent; they’re mine now.”

The white figure affectionately embraced Houtarou Oreki.

"Uncle Bai, I meant dancing!"

"Hmm..." Bai Ying stroked her chin and said, "There's not much of a plot, it's not very exciting, the music is quite hypnotic, and the dance is slow and leisurely, not as good as a backflip."

"Well……"

Chitanda Eru frowned and said, "So you're really out of touch with modern trends?"

"Dances with sacrificial connotations are ultimately about praying for blessings and warding off disasters. Purely praying for blessings is meaningless; it has to include some element of warding off disasters," Bai Ying said. "If we're talking about classic elements of disasters, it's definitely evil spirits! Legend has it that there's an evil spirit that eats a priestess every year, and then a samurai happens to pass by, slays the evil spirit with a snap, and saves the damsel in distress..."

Houtarou Oreki: "This is so cliché."

"It's okay, you're playing a demon, so I'll be quick and ruthless when I strike."

Bai Ying patted his chest and assured him, "You won't feel any pain."

"Hmm... adapting the festival dance into a stage play? That seems like a way to increase the fun..."

Chitanda Eru was deep in thought and didn't notice Oreki Houtarou's pleading eyes.

"The hero rescuing the damsel in distress is such a cliché," Angelina complained. "It's a plot point that's been overused in light novels..."

“Indeed, besides, I’m not very good at portraying demons.” Houtarou Oreki calmly offered his suggestion, “I think Hakuei’s acting skills would be more able to vividly portray demons.”

"Then let's go against the grain. The shrine maiden and the demon are true love, and the samurai is just a self-righteous accident."

Bai Ying nimbly changed direction and said, "I will definitely portray the evil spirit as extremely affectionate and extremely ruthless!"

Houtarou Oreki retorted, "Is this some kind of contradictory acting method?"

"Hmph! Then let me show you my acting skills..."

Bai Ying sneered, and was about to flex his facial muscles when Angelina exclaimed, "Wow! He really does have a very expressive and cold demeanor!"

“9527, although I know you are loyal, that doesn’t make me seem like a good actor.”

As Bai Ying shook his head and sighed, trying to gather his emotions, he suddenly felt a tightness in the top of his head and couldn't turn his neck.

"Hehehe, isn't this the infamous rebels? What a coincidence to run into them here."

Yukinoshita's father peeked out from the side with a smile, his expression very rich, his eyes exceptionally cold, his tone gentle as a spring breeze, but his words were full of dark clouds.

"Hmm? Big Brother is here..."

"Come with me!"

Under the snow, the father embraced the white figure and moved quickly towards the corner of the playground, hiding behind a large tree.

The remaining three looked at each other in bewilderment.

"That looks like Yukinoshita's father, doesn't it?"

Oreki Houtarou seemed to realize something, and his expression brightened.

"Huh? Someone from outside the school?" Chitanda Eru was more concerned about the school rules.

"Oops!"

Angelina rushed over.

Could it be that Bai Ying's past as a scumbag boyfriend has been exposed?!

Hiss—! A superior officer brutally murders his abusive father-in-law and then flees to the ends of the earth?!

Behind the big tree.

Under the snow, the father's eyes were bloodshot, his gaze devouring anyone who might harm him.

"Brother! Let's talk this out!"

The white-clad figure broke free from the powerful hand that had split her skull. Looking closely, she exclaimed that she had gone mad with qi deviation: "They attacked first!"

"It was clearly you who did it! If you're a man, take responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita's father flew into a rage. Thinking of the tossing and turning, the sighs and groans of the past few days, and the worried look on his face, he became even angrier.

He reached into his suit jacket and slammed a sword to the ground. He recalled his father-in-law's face and felt a deep resonance with it.

Father-in-law! I understand you now. The guy my daughter likes should be executed!

"You! Kill yourself!"

Bai Ying asked in disbelief, "Big brother, are you serious?!"

Yukinoshita's father resolutely declared, "Where have I not been serious?!"

The white-clad figure picked up the sword from the ground, drew it, and saw that the blade gleamed with a cold light, clearly a high-end collectible. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a fine sword!"

Yukinoshita's father sneered, "Of course it's a good sword, I'll make sure you feel no pain whatsoever!"

The white figure held a sword, looking at her father beneath the snow.

Yukinoshita's father: "Aren't you going to do it? What are you looking at?"

Bai Ying: "..."

Yukinoshita's father: "..."

Chapter 123 There are also differences between father-in-law and son-in-law.

Faced with the rebels' hidden sword, Yukinoshita's father recalled that afternoon many years ago when the great goddess brought him to visit. In the reception room, his father-in-law, a kind-faced man with a commanding presence, tossed him a hidden sword that, even after twenty years, was still as sharp as ever. His command, "Commit suicide," still resonated powerfully across time.

I was so stupid back then, all I could do was scream in my heart for my goddess to save me!

Why didn't I think of picking up my sword, relying on my heroic spirit, and taking my father-in-law down in a fight?

"How dare you rebel!"

Yukino's father shouted sternly, taking a step back: "What do you intend to do?!"

"Rebels?" Bai Ying asked doubtfully. "Brother, are you talking about yourself?"

"What?!" Yukinoshita's father glared angrily. "I'm a legitimate son-in-law!"

"Auntie is on my side, 9528 is on my side, the hero is on my side, and even the sword is in my hand..."

Bai Ying brandished the sword in his hand, revealing a kind smile: "Don't talk nonsense about rebels. What rebels are there? Labeling people and attacking factions is not good for unity."

"...Hahaha, my brother is right. I was confused for a moment, please don't take offense."

Yukinoshita's father's expression changed instantly, revealing a kind smile.

"That's good."

Bai Ying put the sword back into its sheath with satisfaction.

Yukinoshita's father immediately reached out and grabbed Shiro's shoulder, choking her with a swagger, his face contorted with rage: "You traitor who dares to provoke the goddess of the middle and lower realms, die!"

Thinking he had won by surprise, Bai Ying grabbed Yukinoshita's father with a reverse chokehold, and the two were instantly tangled together.

"Hehehe! Big brother, face reality! Even if you want to change things, the old ways are hard to reverse. As their father, you can't understand their inner struggles. It was me who successfully raised 9528 and the hero to adulthood!"

The white figure's provocative shout was highly effective.

puff!

"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

Under the snow, the father couldn't help but let out a blood-and-tears roar.

Once, as my daughter grew up, I would occasionally imagine what the future would hold and think that I would be sadder than my father-in-law—he only needed to marry off his daughter once, while I would probably have to marry twice. But that was something that never happened. In short, I could never be as cold and heartless as my father-in-law.

Later, as the young goddesses grew older, he, as their father, became increasingly estranged from them. The father-daughter relationship was both something that was difficult to break and something that was impossible to bridge, a distance that was firmly stuck. It was much like the relationship between a father-in-law and a goddess: one was somewhat chauvinistic, and the other was strong-willed and competitive. Neither side could get close to the other. If one had to describe whether the relationship was good or bad, it could only be described as a father-daughter relationship.

Now—who has secretly crept into my precious daughter's heart?! Who has done what they themselves couldn't?! Who has such a close relationship with my daughter?! Who is trying to steal the child I've watched grow up?! Does this person have ulterior motives? Does this person have malicious intentions? This person is definitely suspicious!

This mixed feeling and the sudden surge of displeasure...

Slander your father-in-law, understand your father-in-law, and become like him!

No! My pain is quadratic; my pain surpasses even that of my father-in-law!

Today, I'm going to become the father-in-law plus version, and beat my successor!

"Rebels, prepare to die!!"

Yukinoshita's father appeared to be possessed, determined to eradicate the root of his troubles.

boom!
