Uneasy daily life

“Hmm…” Angelina couldn’t help but complain, “So you guys have all read ‘I Don’t Want to Go to Another World’?”

"I have indeed seen it," Bai Ying nodded. "Aside from the eroticism, it's pretty average."

"#!"

Angelina exclaimed, "Those are just insignificant embellishments, a skin specially put on for the market! Interesting stories and plots, those are the most important things, the things that will excite me to keep reading!"

Wow! Today I'm going to stand my ground and fiercely criticize my superior's tragic creative madness!

"Ahem..." Yukino Yukinoshita finally couldn't stand it anymore. She coughed lightly and gently reminded him, "Since you've seen it, why did you pretend you hadn't seen it in front of Anshin-in in the first place?"

Angelina: "?"

The white figure gave Yukino Yukinoshita a sinister look, then said seriously, "Because it's quite interesting."

"What's so funny about this?" Angelina said irritably. "You've seen it and then pretend you haven't, isn't that just ridiculous?"

"What's so strange about this?" Bai Ying shrugged, took out her phone and started making calls. "Isn't it interesting to hear you praise me?"

Angelina froze, her mind racing...

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly, "What a tragic fate. If nothing unexpected happens, the light novel that Anshinin likes will be written by Haku-kun."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Angelina was bewildered. She tried to put the white figure and Teacher Wuxin together, but she couldn't. She immediately exclaimed in disbelief, "How could you be... Gu?"

Bai Ying took out her phone, which displayed the author's account on the light novel website, as well as the backend that only authors could see.

The proof is like a mountain!

"It's still impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Angelina's eyes widened: "Wu Xin-sensei would never write tragic stories like you. The light novels being serialized now are clearly lighthearted, enjoyable, and fun!"

"Huh?" the white figure asked, puzzled. "It's too long to read aloud. Shouldn't you already know everything?"

Angelina: "Huh?"

“The minister’s tragedy isn’t simply about writing a tragedy.” Hachiman Hikigaya coughed. “It’s about drawing the reader in with beauty, making them empathize, and then brutally destroying it, using the story to hurt the reader’s feelings and leave a scar…”

"Simply put, the seemingly lighthearted and enjoyable plot right now is just a way to lure people in," Yukino Yukinoshita said quietly. "Hasn't Anshin-in read that light novel written by Haku-kun that was canceled?"

"Ah, I've read that one, it's very well written..."

Angelina replied blankly, "If it hadn't been cut in half... Huh?! You didn't write that ending in a hurry because it was cut in half, did you?!"

Betrayal, choices, entanglements, the echoes of fate—the characters struggle within the story, ultimately withering away one by one.

Wasn't that ending written hastily because it was abruptly cut off?!

“You might not feel it much normally. Shiro-kun writes short stories and scripts with few words, so what you remember are the plot twists and tragic endings. But light novels have many words and chapters, and the setup is correspondingly much longer.” Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly. “It’s not that you haven’t seen the tragedy, it’s that you haven’t seen the tragedy yet.”

Yui Yuigahama complained, "It seems that the editor cut it short because the novice wanted to write it that way."

Angelina looked at the white figure tentatively, her eyes wide open, as if trying to confirm something.

Bai Ying lowered his head slightly, the angle of the sunlight casting a shadow on his face. He said in a heavy voice, "Some people will die, some will suffer a fate worse than death—oh, the protagonist will definitely die."

This is a spoiler from the author!

Angelina's pupils dilated as images of her favorite characters from the novel flashed through her mind, laughing and joking, before turning into grayscale photographs one by one.

"No, I don't want that kind of thing!!!"

……

……

Ding dong——!

The school bell rang late, reminding those students still on campus that it was time to go home for the holidays.

With her schoolbag slung over her shoulder, Yukino Yukinoshita closed the door to the activity room, turned around, and smiled faintly, "Well then, see you at the start of the school year."

"Ah, see you when school starts."

Hachiman Hikigaya yawned: "I can't wait to go home, lie down, play games, read novels, and wait for Komachi to feed me..."

Yui Yuigahama said excitedly, "How about we go on a spring outing together during the holidays?"

"Sorry, I might be a bit busy." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "I'll probably go back to visit my grandfather, but if you want to invite me, you can just say so, and I'll see how it goes."

"That's okay too."

As the three chatted, they glanced at each other with strange looks.

The white figure whispered in Angelina's ear, "Stars will die out, life will decay, and the earth will eventually become barren. Time will draw the curtain on everything, and bury itself in moments unknown to anyone—however, it will also etch the joyful stories that have happened, even if those things ultimately end in tragedy, they are still real, indelible things, so just laugh as much as you can..."

Angelina: (ˉ﹃ˉ).

Shouldn't we call the police? Someone is hypnotizing a high school girl here!

Unsteady on her feet, Angelina followed the group to the school gate. Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama said their goodbyes and headed home.

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke up: "If Haku-kun wants your creative methods to be recognized, shouldn't you be changing your creative philosophy the most? Instead of reciting strange things to Anshin-in—Anshin-in, it's already time to go home after school."

"what?"

Angelina snapped out of her reverie, looked around, and suddenly realized it was time to say goodbye. She quickly said, "Bai Ying, when are you going to come to my house? My parents want to see you."

Bai Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Meet your parents? It seems I need to make some preparations."

"Please, please don't prepare!" Angelina clapped her hands together, crying out in anguish, "Just be normal! Just a simple chat, a casual meeting!"

"what……"

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, "So Shirakami hasn't met Anshinin's parents yet?"

"Hmm...huh?"

Angelina was taken aback. Why did that tone sound so sour? Wait a minute!

She thought about it with lightning speed; could it be that Yukinoshita was mistaken—

"You guys chat first, I'm going home."

Yukino Yukinoshita said something softly, then turned and left with a complicated feeling. Although she had a vague feeling that this was going to happen, no matter what, in her eyes, there was another person... Was this really okay? If it continued...

pain.

Suddenly, the back of her head was tugged, and Yukino Yukinoshita glanced sideways at the person behind her with annoyance.

Bai Ying reached out and grabbed a large clump of Yukino Yukinoshita's hair. It felt soft and silky to the touch. He nodded and said, "No problem, I'll definitely help you out."

"Ah, umm! Anyway, remember to let us know in advance if you're coming... Ah, I'll ask my parents about their schedule and then let the officer know in advance!"

Angelina nodded repeatedly, then, feeling inexplicably guilty, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and ran off.

After walking a distance, you can still vaguely see the two people at the school gate when you look back. The officer seems to be acting strangely again, which has angered Yukino. He grabs Yukino's hair, and the two of them are spinning around and chasing each other.

It really feels like youth.

The commander really likes Yukinoshita, doesn't he...? Huh? What am I thinking!

That's that white figure!

Angelina tossed her two short ponytails to the side of her head and ran quickly toward home.

Think about happy things, it's vacation time!

Oh, right! To avoid the boss going crazy, let's have Dad bring back a few cats!

……

……

The hero's hair is so beautiful, long and reaching his waist, smooth and shiny, slightly cool in the late winter chill. When you grab it, it's like holding a handful of water; when you gently release your fingers, you can feel the strands of hair flowing through your palm and between your fingers...

It's laughable that Bai Jun suddenly started praising and flattering me at this moment. I don't need your ulterior motives.

No, no, no, I mean it's a shame to not use this hair for a makeover.

beat?

It's the kind of typing you know, just with hair instead of hand typing—have you ever heard of hair-to-hair typing?

Enraged, he chased the white figure back to his lair, but ultimately lacked the courage to take out his keys and break in. Instead, he fled into his house in a somewhat panicked manner...

Adhering to the spirit of seeking truth from facts, I searched online.

Staring at the content appearing on the computer screen, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, pinching King on her lap and letting out a meow.

Incomprehensible! Incomprehensible!

Wow, there really is such a way?!

This, this, this, this...

What strange things are going on in a guy's head?!

"Meow!"

"Ah, ah, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly stroked the frizzy King, gritting her teeth as she wrote this note on someone's head.

This white fungus keeps saying strange things!

Ding dong——!

Hmm? Could it be that my older sister is on vacation and came to visit me?

Yukino Yukinoshita put King back on the bed, walked out of the bedroom to the door, and looked through the peephole.

A white figure stands at the doorway.

As if sensing the change in the light in the cat's eyes and discovering that someone was watching at the door, he immediately raised his hands with a smile, his fingers forming claws, and kneaded the air in a wicked manner. A strange sound of "Awoo~ Hehehe" could be faintly heard through the door.

"..."

To be honest, when I exposed Bai Jun's true identity, I thought that at most Bai Jun would pretend to be abnormal, while I would remain calm and unmoved, to see what tricks he could pull. In any case, given Bai Jun's behavior so far, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything out of line to me...

The doorbell rang again. Yukino Yukinoshita panicked slightly, as if she remembered something. She quickly went back to the bedroom, hugged King in her arms, calmed herself down, and walked towards the door.

Hmm, I really envy my confident and composed self back then.

Chapter Eleven: The Tail End of Winter

"Ok?"

Bai Ying asked in surprise, "Why is the hero holding a cat, looking as if he's facing a formidable enemy?"

"To drive away harmful bacteria." Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't flustered at all, hugging King as if she were holding onto a deterrent. "Did the white bacteria come here for something? Are you going to settle some inexplicable score with me?"

"that……"

The white figure smiled and walked into the room. Yukino Yukinoshita, holding the cat, turned around and went into the house. Hearing the door close, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Calm down, I have a cat.

"Does the hero know why I hate cats?"

"Because cats are beneficial animals and natural enemies of harmful bacteria. If they are natural enemies, then naturally you can't like them."

"Wrong, wrong, wrong."

The white figure slowly walked over: "Because the cats like Yoshikage Kira, and I hate that boring and inescapable guy, I wanted the cats to hate me—but these cats are stubborn and incorrigible. After several attempts, I finally understood the relativity that if the cats don't avoid me, I'll avoid them..."

Cats are indeed the cutest and most powerful creatures; even Bai Jun can't handle them.

Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curved into a slight smile, then her expression suddenly froze.

The white figure calmly reached out and grabbed King by the back of the neck, lifting him from Yukino's arms.

"Meow!"

King scurried through the air a few times, barked fiercely, and was then tossed onto the sofa by the white figure.

It stood on the sofa and howled at the white figure a few times in dissatisfaction, then dashed off to the bedroom.

"Huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita exclaimed in surprise, "King... is it being aggressive towards you?"

"Of course it's because I'm cutting ties with Yoshikage Kira. The cat likes that hand fetishist, not me." Shiro said matter-of-factly. "I always do the opposite of what Yoshikage Kira likes and is liked, which helps keep that guy locked up. But since I said I'm going to date you guys, I naturally have to find a way to get rid of Yoshikage Kira."

"I don't think I have any opinion on the matter of superpowered individuals."
