Uneasy daily life

"?"

Yukino's cheek twitched slightly as she calmly retorted, "Why not use your hands like Yukino-chan does?"

Huh? Why haven't any viewers jumped in to comment on this explosive conversation yet?

Yukino Yukinoshita was a little unsure about Hakukage's script. Could it be that there was no one hiding in the room?

"Hmm... I didn't pay much attention at the time. Judging from the packaging, it seemed to be an advertisement that focused on the 'mature, married woman' vibe. The cover featured a purple-haired older woman wearing a sweater?"

"?" Yukinoshita Haruno was a little confused. "Ahem...you mean the bottle that Yukino-chan uses..."

"No, no, no, the advertising slogans are completely different!"

Bai Ying recalled for a moment, her expression turning serious. She then introduced the scene with dramatic intonation: "Silky smooth! Moist and viscous! Wave-like! This is the ocean's exquisite allure! Take this—the Overlord's Devour of Giant Breasts!"

How did you know, you bastard?!

Yukino's eyes twitched wildly. She subconsciously glanced at the small bag in her hand. To be honest, she was a little shocked by the variety of things humans had done when she bought it. Considering her own plans, she naturally chose a prop that looked more suitable.

Anticipation: This one looks perfect—hehehehe! As a mature and composed adult, I must be fully prepared to silence that scoundrel's foul mouth and leave him red-faced and fleeing in disgrace!

Reality: How did you know I bought this one?!

Damn it! Is the Japanese people's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) incurable?!

"Oh dear, what are you saying, you rascal? Xiao Yang doesn't have anything like that!"

Yukino Yukinoshita has a thick skin.

Bai Ying said mercilessly, "You also prepared a slip dress. You can just take off the straps and go all out. It's very convenient."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Oh, this? I, your older sister..."

Bai Ying: "That was a silk nightgown. The eye couldn't see through the clothes, but it perfectly showed the outline of the figure. It wasn't a tight-fitting dress, but it was better than one. I have to admit, you have an outstanding talent for showing your charm, and you have a perfectionist obsession with striving for perfection. Even the genius, the Brave One, is inferior to you."

Yukinoshita Yono: "..."

Bai Ying: "Say something, darling. Why do you look so lifeless? It's like your aunt has found all those wonderful little gadgets in the room and you're listening to her critique their effects and performance."

Yukino Yukino smiled brightly, turned from stillness to a sudden lunge onto the bed, and grabbed the serious and professional-looking white figure with her hand—I'm going to take you down in one go!

In the blink of an eye, the two were wrestling on the field. It was a real wrestling match—the kind where knees were pressed against each other's backs and arms were twisted with force. And the hitting was real hitting too—the "Dragon Subduing Ten Palms" were aimed hard at the fleshiest parts. Soon, thanks to their exceptional flexibility, they had each other twisted into a pretzel. The white figure twisted Yukinoshita Haruno's arm, trying to clean the ash from her nostrils with one hand, while Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed the white figure's leg, her knee seemingly about to be smashed.

The two men used their mutual deterrence and checks and balances to calm down considerably.

"How did you know? Surveillance? Deduction? Stalking?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked with a smile. "Tell me the truth! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and making sure Yukino-chan never has a chance to play again~!"

Have you ever heard of time travel?

"Huh?" Yukinoshita Haruno was taken aback, ruling out the possibility that this guy was lying. "What kind of mess have you gotten into this time?"

"What do you mean I've gotten myself into trouble? Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to cause trouble?" Bai Ying said irritably. "Even if I wanted to turn back time, I should at least wait until I'm done before pulling up my pants!"

Ok?

Yukinoshita's brow furrowed slightly, but she smiled brightly and asked, "What were we doing before the flow reversed?"

Bai Ying said seriously, "I'm pressing you down on the bed, lifting your chin with my hand, and saying some flirtatious sweet nothings to prepare for the main event!"

"Oh." Yukinoshita Haruno said knowingly, "You're lying stiffly on the bed, your heart pounding, looking at me impatiently, wanting to confirm my feelings, and also unable to help but anticipate what's about to happen—snap, time reverses?"

The white figure scoffed, "How dare you assume I..."

"I've already gotten all that information out of Yukino-chan. Besides, what do you think I came here with?" Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly leaned closer and blew a puff of air onto Shiro's nose with a smile. "Hmm~ Mature little brat."

Bai Ying sniffed the air and pointed, saying, "Chive skewers? You want to boost your virility? You even have to plan and think about what to eat. You're really thorough."

Yukino's smile froze, and she changed the subject with a slight twitch of her lips: "So, you're planning to make up for what you lost by going back in time?"

"This..."

Bai Ying shrugged, not aiming her finger at Yukinoshita Haruno's nostrils for the moment. She raised her index finger and flicked the other's bangs: "Should I say I'm somewhat hoping you'll remember and we can continue what we just talked about, or am I hoping you'll remember these things I'm telling you? Although I'm also a little looking forward to that kind of thing, it has to come later... After all, memories that we like only count if both of us remember them."

Yukinoshita blinked slightly, then her tone turned serious: "Hmm? You rascal, you're not planning to run away at the last minute with some weird excuse, are you?"

"9528, you don't want me to become proficient, do you?"

The white figure chuckled strangely: "Between pinning me down and being pinned down by me, you'd rather experience the former, wouldn't you?"

"Tsk!"

Yukino clicked her tongue, released Shiroki in annoyance, rolled over and smoothed her hair. She wanted to follow her feelings and continue doing what satisfied her, but reason told her that if she did, only the jerk would remember, and she would know nothing... so she couldn't be happy.

It's so annoying that the things I want to do often don't turn out to be satisfactory.

"Alright, how are we going to solve that time reversal problem?"

"I plan to repeat yesterday's events and see if anyone's actions are different," Bai Ying pondered. "However, I have a feeling it's not my problem, but rather Zichuan's. Why was he able to retain his memories during the time reversal? Was it because he was affected by puberty syndrome?"

Random thoughts obviously won't yield any results. After tidying up a bit, Bai Ying excitedly began searching for information.

[Bai Ying's Acting Skills Corner]

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: What day of the week was yesterday?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: The eighth day of the week.]

[White Shadow: Why is this stick figure so silly?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: You're the idiot! Can't you just look at your phone to find out?]

[Sakurajima Mai: Tuesday, what's wrong with the hater?]

[Under the Snow: I took leave to go home and write my manuscript, but I got so stuck that I lost consciousness and couldn't even remember the time?]

[On Snow: The jerk said time has reversed, do you guys have any clues?]

[Yukinoshita: ?]

[Bai Buliang Baiying: 9528, I'm handing over the document to you. I'm going to visit Azusagawa.]

Yukino raised an eyebrow and saw a white figure leap from the bed and leave the room like lightning. She quickly got out of bed and followed, only to see the door slam shut behind her.

They fled somewhat hastily.

She squinted and tapped her phone thoughtfully.

[Above Snow: @WhiteBadWhiteShadow, why are you running so fast? Are you worried I'll lose control and do something to gain experience, become more skilled, and then break records?]

[Yukinoshita: ???]

[Yukinoshita: What are you doing?!]

[On Snow: Guess?]

[Sakurajima Mai: Yukino, I think we should tell you what you did, right?]

[Toyohama Kazuka: Huh? What are you guys talking about?]

Yukino Yukinoshita is pretending to be offline.

Mai Sakurajima clearly wasn't going to let her off the hook.

[Sakurajima Mai: It's both surprising and not so surprising. To be honest, I'm even ashamed to say it, but I didn't expect Yukino to be so bold.]

[Yukino no Ue: After all, she's Yukino-chan~]

[Sakurajima Mai: Yeah, it's true, it sometimes makes people envious and resentful, making me want to try doing something myself.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: @Yukinoshita, what did you do?]

[Yukinoshita: This has nothing to do with you.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: ?]

[Sakurajima Mai: Yukino, who was the first to confide in us, actually said something so cold. But, it really is a private matter, I understand~]

[Above Snow: @Under Snow, that's right, Xiaoyang was secretly doing something naughty, it has nothing to do with you~ Hehe!]

[Under the Snow: @WhiteRogueWhiteShadow, White Fungus!]

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: Calm down, I just went out to practice my skills.]

[Yukinoshita: Shut up! Sword.jpg!]

[Toyohama Kazuka: What are you guys even talking about?!]

[White Shadow: A strange, thick barrier has been created.]

[Toyohama Kazuka: @WhiteBadGuyWhiteShadow, what riddle are you talking about? Show me!]

[Bai Bulang Bai Ying: I dare to talk nonsense? I'm asking for it! I suggest arresting the hero, giving him a three-way trial, and thoroughly interrogating him!]

[Under the Snow: White! Fungus!!]

With a few clever tricks, I've mastered the art of forming alliances and sowing discord, perfectly demonstrating my skill in creating division and conflict.

The relationship is getting more and more complicated...

Even the bravest, who pursues the purest and most sincere love, will occasionally feel dissatisfied and annoyed by others; the bravest plus, who persists in their own love, will also have similar feelings, not to mention 9528, who was more or less influenced by the brave when planning today's actions... In a sense, it is the stick figure who thinks less that truly thinks very little.

I suddenly feel like beating up my past self—damn it! Look what you've done! Why did I suddenly have to be so unreasonable and create this mess for myself?

Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. I'm very good at drawing attention away from things and preventing people from accumulating negative pressure.

but……

Bai Ying felt that she was troubled by something else. If it was about liking someone, it would be difficult for her to show them everything—not the question of how to divide herself, but the question of how to tell them who she really was.

Huh? The idea that if you like someone, you should show them everything about yourself is so naive it's almost foolish, and it's no longer suitable for the current version of love.

But it suits me, and it suits them too.

After being smeared in the face by the hero, and then having the hero smeared in his face again, there was a feeling of being smeared in the face again... no, I should say I felt something strange about myself, a rare, hazy feeling of not being able to see myself very clearly.

"Ugh, so annoying!"

The white figure hummed a nonsensical tune as she arrived in Yokohama from Chiba. She went to the shop where Sakuta Azusagawa worked, found a table to sit down, casually flipped through the menu, and shouted.

"Give me a waiter!"

Sakuta Azusagawa, who was in the kitchen, peeked in and immediately went over: "The waiter you ordered is here. What would you like to eat?"

"I'll treat you to Mapo Tofu, Claypot Rice, and a Beef Bone Broth." Bai Ying casually ordered a few dishes. "Even if time could be reversed, you'd still be working. You're at least an 80-point office worker."

"Fortunately, it's just a matter of time going backwards."

Sakuta Azusagawa wrote down the dish's name: "If the world were to end, I wouldn't even be able to go to work."

"Anyway, is there any new intelligence?" Bai Ying asked, resting her chin on her hands.

"Futaba said that if time travel wasn't because I was confused, it's probably because I had some kind of quantum entanglement with the person who caused the time travel..."

"This doesn't make sense, quantum spacetime?"

"That's so Futaba, isn't it? But it's not quantum time. Her example seems to be something like Laplace's demon? Reversing time is to change some possibility, so time reverses. Anyway, I don't really understand it." Sakuta Azusagawa shrugged and asked curiously, "You're very concerned about this? Because it's like Killer Queen, where time can be reversed?"

"This doesn't involve any superpowers..."

Bai Ying asked himself a question and then analyzed it precisely: "If I had to say, it would probably be sexual desire."

“…” Sakuta Azusagawa paused for a moment, then said strangely, “It’s very much in your style, but I don’t quite understand it.”

"Let's say today you were the one confessing to Big Xiangzi, and miraculously succeeded. Suddenly—" Bai Ying slapped the table, "and you're back to today. How would you feel?"

Sakuta Azusagawa pondered, "Isn't that a good thing? I have another chance to express my feelings to Shoko-san. This time I can say what I couldn't say last time."

"Thinking about it that way, it makes sense. Your purity is quite high."

Bai Ying shrugged: "So I came for nothing?"

“You can do some work for me for free, so it won’t be a complete waste of time. The boss keeps saying he wants to hire another waiter and has been asking us if we have any suitable candidates.” Sakuta Azusagawa shrugged. “As for time travel and stuff, let’s wait until tomorrow. Maybe everything will be back to normal by then.”

"That's true—come to think of it, I haven't worked in a long time, ever since I met that unlucky director of 'The Untamed'..."

To give the later full-time employees a little test, temporary worker Bai Ying decided to put in her best effort, serving the restaurant with a courteous and attentive attitude, occasionally taking on some kitchen work. She was able to accurately identify potential customers looking for food at the entrance and invite them into the restaurant, and also take initiative to actively clean up to ensure there was no trash or dust.

Then I politely declined the boss's offer to make me a permanent employee.

I'm so dedicated not so that I can remain dedicated forever, but so that future generations can be dedicated.

I'm having fun, but the work is for those who come after me.

I got home, lay down on the bed, and looked at my phone while waiting for the time to pass.

At midnight, the lights go out, and Wednesday remains the same.

Gan!
