Uneasy daily life

However, it seems that unreasonable requests do indeed require the minister's name?

tangled.

Yukino put away the cat food, looking at the two kittens, one black and one white. Sakurajima had some work commitments to attend to recently, so she sent King here when she was busy. There was always this feeling that King was one step ahead of her in life.

Calm down, don't be hasty or impulsive. Let's discuss our future career plans with my father another day.

As for relationship issues...

What specific rights does a girlfriend have?

Ding Dong!

The doorbell rang.

Yukino Yukinoshita walked to the door, glanced through the peephole, and opened it: "Haku-kun?"

"I'm here to mooch a meal." Bai Ying lifted the bag full of ingredients in her hand. "Look, brave warrior, I've prepared all the ingredients for you."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced around and, not seeing any ingredients that would challenge her appetite, breathed a slight sigh of relief. She turned and let Shiro in to change her shoes: "It's not that I can't cook, but Shiro-kun is just waiting to eat?"

"I can also boss you around in the kitchen."

"No thanks." Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly decide to come over for a meal?"

"First, I hate that Calvin can't come up with any good descriptions! Second, I hate that the takeout restaurant downstairs is closed! Third, I hate... damn cat!"

Bai Ying held a plastic bag in her right hand and pressed her left hand against the back of the sofa, gracefully leaping across the sofa.

One black, one white; one thin, one fat; two streaks of lightning flashed by. One tried to squeeze through the gap between two sofas, while the other nimbly leaped onto the sofa armrest and pounced in mid-air. The white figure's eyes sharpened. He grabbed a cushion from the sofa and intercepted the cat in mid-air, pinning the black cat to the sofa. He then leaned forward and pressed the sofa down, narrowing the gap just right.

Knight's four legs kicked back and forth on the smooth floor, like Sun Wukong trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, struggling with his fat body and questioning his existence.

Yukino Yukinoshita was slightly lost in thought. She had a cat, and her boyfriend was fighting with the cat. What kind of daily family life was this?

"Sanhen, we're in a romantic relationship!"

The white figure easily subdued the two cats and handed the bag to Yukino Yukinoshita: "Isn't it natural to freeload? If the hero isn't in the mood right now, I can cook for him..."

"Forget it then."

Yukino Yukinoshita took the bag and turned to walk directly towards the kitchen.

Hmm? Something's not right.

Bai Ying touched his chin, realizing that things were not so simple. He took off his slippers and quietly made his way to the kitchen. He squatted down against the wall by the door and peeked inside.

Two black cotton-covered calves came into view, their delicate bones highlighted from the front, gradually revealing rounded calves from the back. Following the obvious cotton texture downwards, they curved at the ankles and disappeared into fluffy slippers with a large cat face pattern on the surface. Above, the white-edged socks covered the thighs, creating a slight indentation...

"You're still watching?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita raised her hand to hold down her skirt, took a step back with a tense face, and looked down at the white figure with a look of disdain and indifference, as if she were staring at some kind of pest. But deep in her eyes, there was a hint of shyness and a little annoyance... Why is it that she is always flustered by the white-kun?

The white figure squatted on the ground, resting his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

Yukino Yukinoshita widened her eyes slightly: "What are you thinking?!"

The white figure stood up, slammed his fist in his palm, and abruptly asked, "Hero, may I hug you?"

"what?"

Yukino Yukinoshita panicked and instinctively wanted to back away, but after taking half a step back, she wondered why she was retreating.

Bai Ying took a step into the kitchen, opened her arms, and smiled, "Can I hug you?"

"W-this...why are you suddenly bringing this up...you're probably trying to tease me again, I mean..."

Yukino Yukinoshita was a little clumsy and flustered. Not only did she avoid the white figure's gaze, but she also closed her eyes first.

Well, my not refusing means I agree...

The kitchen suddenly fell silent, as if nothing had changed.

Bai Jun... could he be teasing me and then running away again?

Yukino Yukinoshita quietly opened her eyes.

Hmm! It's still there!

"Hero, may I give you a hug?"

“This…” Yukino Yukinoshita took a breath, raised her hand to tug at her fallen hair, and muttered to herself, “Is Haku-kun suffering from a repeating syndrome? What does it mean to ask the same question over and over again…”

"Hey? Isn't this what you're struggling with?" Bai Ying teased. "You clearly crave a change in the relationship, but once it actually happens, you feel lost and confused, not understanding what you can do, what you should do, or what you want to do after the change—"

"This is clearly Bai Jun's problem. He's been too proactive, which has made me unsure of how to take the initiative. It's the same now."

Yukino Yukinoshita gave him a cold look that was hard to put on. She touched her left arm with her right hand, shifted her heels uncomfortably, and thought of Shiro's behavior in the elevator that day... After taking a shallow breath, she raised her hands but then felt something was wrong, so she put them behind her back, her slender fingers shyly twisting into a knot.

"Bai Jun, give me a hug."

The words, intended to be forceful commands, were unbelievably soft.

"Come on~"

The white figure opened her arms and readily embraced Yukino Yukinoshita.

Hesitate for a second! Doesn't being this quick make me look awkward?!

A few murmurs of unease rose in the girl's heart, but quickly subsided. She was incredibly calm, though her heart pounded wildly. The thought of him possibly hearing them made her blush. Hmm… the embrace was broad and strong, giving her a sense of being enveloped in comfort. There wasn't a particular scent, but it was a pleasant aroma that made her feel slightly dizzy. She could feel his arms pressing against hers, closing around her waist, and then gently pulling them together.

She tiptoed slightly, a little shyly wanting to separate herself a bit, but when her chin rested on the other person's shoulder, she couldn't help but want to take a nap.

Her slender body tensed in a panic, then quickly softened, becoming as fluffy as cotton candy, clinging to me and impossible to remove. Her hair carried a faint scent of shampoo; she was, after all, very clean, perhaps even a little obsessive-compulsive. Shyly and belatedly realizing her mistake, she chased after me, cautiously struggling for a moment before clinging back even closer…

Liking someone is like cotton candy soaked in alcohol; not only do you get drunk, but you also want to get others drunk too.

Getting too drunk is not a good thing; even if you enjoy a drink, don't overindulge.

With a sudden burst of strength, Bai Ying leaned back slightly, lifting Yukino Yukinoshita, whom he was holding, into the air. The feeling of floating with her feet off the ground startled her, but her hands were held by Bai Ying's sides, and she couldn't pull them out for the moment, nor could she see Bai Ying's movements.

"Huh? Bai Jun, what's this...?"

"I carried the girl forward. She seemed flustered because her feet weren't touching the ground. Her long legs wrapped around my waist, and with some force, the roundness and elasticity of her thighs were transmitted to me without reservation..."

"?"

Who would use their legs to clamp around your waist?

Yukino Yukinoshita felt like a mosquito had gotten into her brain, buzzing and suddenly becoming a jumbled mess. What was that white fungus up to now?!

The white figure hugged Yukino Yukinoshita like a giant body pillow, and walked from the kitchen to the living room. He seemed to be conceiving a scene in his mind, and his voice became solemn and dignified, like a believer in prayer.

"The thin clothes couldn't hide the burning heat of our skin touching. My hands gently lifted her soft buttocks and gently and precisely lowered her..."

And so the night passed!

"This is obviously not acceptable; it won't pass censorship! It needs to be more elegant!"

"Slender feet, weary and reluctant to be touched by dust, teeth clenched between jade fingers, dare not utter a sound. Flower buds on the cliffside, hearing the wind and rain, unfurl and unfold a branch of spring..."

boom!

He delivered a powerful blow to the calf with his toes.

The white figure shuddered, solemnly setting Yukino Yukinoshita down. Before Yukino could react, the figure feigned a fall to the ground, clutching his leg and howling, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! My leg's broken! My leg's fractured! I'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life! What a terrible kick! This is what they call athlete's foot..."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "#!"

Why do I mop the floor every day?!

"From now on, that perverted, lewd, and disgusting Baijun will share a bowl with Knight!"

Seizing the opportunity, she kicked the white figure in the buttocks as it rolled over, then stormed into the kitchen after uttering a string of words in embarrassment and anger, slamming the kitchen door shut.

Bai Ying jumped up at lightning speed, dusted off her clothes, and exclaimed happily, "Hero! I've got an idea! Time to go back and write..."

"stop!"

A low shout, still tinged with embarrassment, came from behind. The kitchen door opened a crack, and Yukino Yukinoshita revealed one of her deep, piercing eyes, asking, "You want dinner... at 7 o'clock? Come and have dinner!"

"As ordered!"

Bai Ying saluted.

……

……

dinner time.

Exquisite dishes were laid out on the table.

Yukino Yukinoshita, with a cold expression, placed two bowls for Shirokage, one containing rice and the other containing air.

"Does Baijun have anything to say?"

Simply put, it's about sourcing materials.

Bai Ying explained seriously, "I've been struggling to figure out how to portray the feeling of interacting with a cold, sarcastic, flat-chested, aloof maid character. Fortunately, the hero gave me a lot of inspiration..."

"I didn't say that!" Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't hold back any longer. "You...you...you..."

“I know you might be unhappy that I didn’t have BOKI,” Bai Ying sighed. “But it would be strange to have BOKI in that situation. In short, it’s just a simulation, some research, some brainstorming, some polishing… If you doubt me, then let’s do it again!”

Bai Ying clenched his fist, looking at her with unwavering determination, his face full of "I will definitely succeed this time."

"Stop! Let's not talk about that kind of topic!" Yukino Yukinoshita raised her hand to rub her temples. "I can understand that you're writing a light novel, but taking inspiration from your girlfriend and writing a fantasy light novel for others to read... doesn't Haku-kun find that strange?"

"Huh?" Bai Ying said in surprise, "If this logic holds, then wouldn't it be even stranger if I found some stereotypical labels on the hero and then used those labels to portray another aloof maid-type character?"

"This... seems to be true..."

Yukino Yukinoshita sorted out her thoughts and found that her previously disturbed ideas were still in a mess. She pursed her lips and hummed softly, "You're making me happy, Haku-kun. That's your condition for gathering material."

“Yukino Yukinoshita isn’t aloof at all. With just a little warmth, she becomes incredibly gentle and soft. When she softens, her coldness and disdain are merely protective shells she uses to mask her shyness and awkwardness,” the white-clad figure said, stroking her chin. “Yukino Yukinoshita isn’t just any character; she’s the heroine right here, not the cold, sharp, loyal maid I created who can pull all sorts of magical gadgets out of her skirt at any moment…”

"Alright," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly. "Is the character you're trying to create some kind of maid version of Doraemon? That sounds absurd enough."

The white figure said strangely, "Hey hero, do you have to be jealous of even the characters I create?"

"...Isn't light novel just a double delusion of the author and the reader?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze wandered as she desperately searched for seemingly reasonable yet awkward evidence.

Bai Ying scratched her head and said, "But in my setting, this maid character is actually loyal to a villain. She's just following orders to come to the male protagonist's side and temporarily obey his commands. Loyalty is her greatest characteristic. When the audience cheers and praises for this characteristic, they'll find that she remains loyal, loyal from the beginning, but not loyal to the male protagonist. At that time..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything."

I almost forgot Bai Jun's eccentric tragic aesthetic of 'luring people in and then killing them'.

Yukino pushed the bowl of rice towards her.

After dinner, Bai Ying washed the dishes and strolled back, exuding an aura of boundless inspiration and the determination to create a legend.

Yukino Yukinoshita took a bath, changed into her pajamas, and sat on the sofa to watch a movie and relax, with a cat in each hand.

Hmm... It feels so comfortable in Bai Jun's arms. If Bai Jun were sitting on the sofa, it would be nice to lean against him, right?

It's time to bring up the idea of ​​having Bai Jun come and live with us.

But it's a bit infuriating—just when we were hugging and feeling very safe, he suddenly started making inappropriate jokes, making you want to knock him on the head!

Isn't this just like when you officially become boyfriend and girlfriend?

It was intentional! Bai Jun definitely did it on purpose!

As Yukino Yukinoshita petted the cat, her thoughts drifted, and she felt a deep familiarity with the tender yet embarrassed emotions welling up inside her.

Is there any way to have the best of both worlds?

Ok?

Invite Bai Ying to watch that movie made that year?

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up, sparkling with eagerness and anticipation.

As his girlfriend, I absolutely have to win this round!

As she was pondering, a cold wind blew in from outside the window, and Yukino Yukinoshita shivered slightly before getting up and going to the window.

Ok?

In the night sky dotted with cool starlight, tiny specks of dust drifted and fell.

Why did the snow come so early this year?

Although it's a bit superstitious, is it a good omen?
