Uneasy daily life

"The ultimate deluxe ice cream! Triple chocolate scoop! Strawberry topping! Frosting! This is summer!"

A white figure flashed in front of her, and Angelina's eyes were instantly drawn to the ice cream in his hand.

"Do you want her to get diarrhea? This is just a mediocre creation made by simply piling on ingredients; there's no craftsmanship to be found at all!" A calm voice rang out as the fortune teller held up a paper tray with a five-tiered cake on it. "Look! A five-tiered cake! Soft and delicious! The walnut pieces on top are even more appealing! This is what a dessert should be!"

The two glared at each other, then turned to Angelina in unison: "Which one do you choose?" ×2.

Both look delicious.

Angelina looked around and coughed, "I think they're all good..."

"Which one do you want to eat first?" ×2!

"?"

Angelina replied irritably, "I'll eat whichever I want first! Do you have a problem with that?"

No! ×2!

The two obediently served at his side.

Angelina was in a good mood, and I ate and ate—this deluxe ice cream was pretty good, and that cake was especially delicious!

"Don't worry, 9527, I specifically asked the staff. This ice cream is the best-selling item, which means everyone loves it and there's absolutely no chance of it making you fat—on the contrary, the charlatan's fancy cakes don't sell well, I'm afraid... hehe."

"What a joke! The synonym for precious is scarce. Everyone loves to eat it, which means the things you're offering are very cheap. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and I recommend the death penalty!"

"Can't you all just get along peacefully?"

Angelina rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Hmm, the layers in this cake are amazing. The variations in texture, sweetness, and overall flavor... I really don't know how they made it..."

"Peaceful coexistence?!"

Bai Ying exclaimed in astonishment, taking two steps back in shock as he stared at the fortune teller and Angelina.

"Is there a problem?" Angelina said matter-of-factly. "All this back and forth, this sarcastic talk, can't you just talk properly?"

"Fine! Then let's make this clear!" The boy suppressed his anger and pain, and asked indignantly, "Between him and me, who do you choose?!"

what?

Angelina, with cream dangling from her lips, looked slightly bewildered. "Choose...choose to hang you all on the wall?"

"Ha, young man." The fortune teller straightened his back and said in a calm tone, "You can't give her a future at all, what right do you have to give her a choice? If I were you, I should honestly back off... Girls need to be carefully protected, you greenhorn, you can't be her father who shelters her from the wind and rain!"

Angelina was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense, you're not my dad!"

The fortune teller stood there, frowning, looking at her with displeasure: "What kind of talk is that?"

"What kind of talk is that?"

Angelina felt confused; something seemed off.

"I knew it!" Bai Ying exclaimed in surprise. "You really do care about me. This guy was just deluding himself!"

"...Yes, I was deluding myself, investing feelings I shouldn't have in a twisted relationship." The fortune teller seemed to understand. He took a deep breath, stepped back, and revealed a touch of sadness and self-mockery typical of adults. "Peaceful coexistence? I'm the father who gives you money, and he's the boyfriend who cares about you. You can have both, right?"

"what?!"

Bai Ying looked suddenly enlightened, her face flashing with shock, pain, and disbelief.

Angelina: "..."

Many people in the station looked over.

Although I don't know what happened, I have a feeling that you two are making up some weird character for me!

Angelina immediately shouted to prove her innocence: "What nonsense are you talking about! You're not my father, and you're not my boyfriend!"

"It's really amazing."

The fortune teller sighed, "I lost. I thought I could win you over... I predicted you would be happy for life, ha."

With a hint of sarcasm in his words, he turned and strode away.

Angelina was completely bewildered. She raised her hand as if to pull the fortune teller back and hang him on the wall, when she suddenly realized that a large group of people were staring at her... Ah, this.

Ugh! That treacherous traitor is trying to harm me!

Angelina suddenly turned her head to look at the white figure.

The white figure had already retreated several steps, his face contorted with pain and self-mockery as he said, "You only think of yourself..."

He turned his head, raised his hand to cover his face, and rushed straight towards the tram that had arrived at the station.

Hey! Stop right there!

Angelina immediately took off after him.

……

……

"Daddy's here? What a two-timing woman who wants it all?"

In the empty carriage, Angelina's cheeks twitched as she recalled the scene that had just unfolded...

The great me used my superpowers to subdue two erratic members of the Scarlet Troupe, making an outstanding contribution to world peace (×).

A woman who wants both love and money, who seduces both a wallet and a heart, and who also wants both to coexist peacefully (√).

You're the one who's a jerk who wants this and that!

Angelina smiled, staring at the motionless white figure frozen in place, and gritted her teeth, saying, "You scumbag, how many meters do you want to be hung up like that?!"

Today, I'm going to fly you like a kite!

"9527, calm down first," Bai Ying said calmly. "Look at my hand."

Angelina's gaze shifted downwards, noticing a slip of paper tucked between Bai Ying's fingers. She picked it up and saw it was a printed shopping list, clearly listing the prices of two desserts...

Wow! That's more than the pocket money I have on me!

Hmm? Why are there two desserts?

Oh... they're in cahoots!

They formed cliques for personal gain and plotted to seize power!

Angelina's mind raced through a series of thoughts, then suddenly she froze—it's said that those who owe money are the ones in charge.

"Don't worry, it's on me. You don't need to pay me back." Bai Ying sighed and said generously, "Consider it a performance fee for this impromptu show."

"Hmph... Fine."

Angelina, with a sour face, raised her hand to release the immobilization spell.

"Your superpowers are getting more and more sophisticated," Bai Ying remarked. "Now that we're even, if you still want to hang me on the wall, that's petty, vindictive, and a really ungentlemanly girl!"

"We're even! You're the one being dramatic!"

Angelina's cheeks twitched slightly, her anger flaring. She muttered indignantly, "How can two desserts compare to the damage to my reputation? I don't think this is fair!"

Bai Ying: "See, you're already bringing up old scores!"

Angelina: "#!"

Damn it! Next time, I'll use the excuse that the officer actually spoke and hang him on the wall!

Angelina, after much painful reflection, realized that she was ultimately just a less formal member of the Scarlet Troupe, completely unable to withstand the audience's scrutiny. If she hadn't cared about the audience's opinions and had reacted even a little faster, she could have found a way to resolve the situation. For example, she could have won over the superior, played the role of a couple disapproved of by her father, and thus damaged the fortune teller's reputation... She had been too complacent, thinking she held absolute power, but this had only led to the superior and the fortune teller joining forces, causing her to be misled by sweet talk and react too slowly, ultimately resulting in the damage to her reputation.

"Although I don't know what you're thinking, your eyes have the style of our troupe."

Bai Ying said with satisfaction, "This kind of planned performance, framing accomplices, and determination to dominate the stage, is full of scheming and intrigue in their eyes..."

Angelina suddenly realized what was happening, reflected on herself, and immediately denied it: "I'm not a lunatic from the Scarlet Theatre!"

"it is good!"

Bai Ying slapped his thigh and exclaimed happily, "That statement criticizing the theater troupe is the essence!"

"Waaah! Stop it!" Angelina screamed, scratching her hair with her fingers like claws. "If you say it again, I'll tell everyone online!"

"What did you say?" the white figure asked dismissively.

“Tell me you’re going to end the light novel in a tragedy! And list all the evidence, and file a formal complaint!” Angelina had a sudden inspiration and chuckled, “Heh... If we know in advance that the story will end in tragedy, when the commander connects the foreshadowing and reveals the tragic ending, no one will feel anything, right? At that time, the tragic story that the commander carefully prepared will not resonate with anyone at all.”

That's right! This is the art of major spoilers!

As Angelina gloated, she noticed that Bai Ying's gaze was even more gratified.

"do you have any opinion?"

Angelina cautiously shifted her position to the side.

“Targeting and countering the aesthetic and artistic concepts of our peers with precision…” Bai Ying clapped his hands slowly, revealing a fatherly smile, “It’s too long to say, you’ve already graduated.”

Angelina looked bewildered, her hands trembling slightly as she recalled the performance art of her accomplices and compared it to her own thoughts.

The plagiarism rate is extremely high; it is recommended to rework it.

Goo!

"Bai! Ying!" Angelina grabbed Bai Ying's shoulders and shook him violently. "Waaaaah! You're the one who turned my brain into this weird shape! You owe me!"

Bai Ying retorted, "Is it possible that you inherently possessed this potential?"

"Yeah, right!" Angelina exclaimed indignantly, "It's all your fault!"

"No, think about it again!" The white figure spoke clearly despite the rapid shaking, "Think back to when we first met, how you could imagine a magnificent world of superpowers, wanting to become a dazzling beautiful girl who would save the world, full of chuunibyou power..."

"Shut up!"

After venting her anger on the white figure, the ashen Angelina leaned back in her chair, lost in thought, muttering "Aba aba."

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Bai Ying asked with interest, "Can you help other people retain their memories when time is reversed?"

"I don't know... but it doesn't feel right..." Angelina barely managed to regain some of her composure. "How should I put it... it feels more like I'm emitting gravity, using that gravity to hold myself in place, to prevent my things from getting lost..."

"If a being could know all the matter that makes up the universe and all the forces that make up the universe, then all motion could be calculated like a formula, meaning that the future could be predicted by it. Such a hypothetical being would be Laplace's demon."

Bai Ying conducted an analysis that was anything but scientific: "You can manipulate gravity... no, I should say attraction, and you can instinctively sense what is affecting your movement. This is unfamiliar and unnatural to you, and you will feel very awkward. Similarly, when you consciously use gravity to restrain yourself, your stability is greatly improved, so you retain your memories in the time reversal."

"Oh..." Angelina was confused. "So?"

"so……"

Bai Ying paused slightly, then laughed, "Perhaps you can not only be very heavy, but also exceptionally hard."

Hmm? Something's not right... Although the officer has always seemed a bit off, this feels even more off now.

Angelina blinked, scratched her head, and suddenly asked, "White Shadow, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ah You……"

"Even though I like you, you scumbag."

Angelina snorted nonchalantly, "Isn't that what scumbags are all about? They want this and that, right? Bai Ying must be very good at getting things for free and taking advantage of others."

“Hmm…” The white figure pondered for a moment and said, “If I disappear one day, please take care of Yoshikage Kira.”

"what?"

Chapter 78 Every Man Wants to Be a Father

He's gone? How did Kira Yoshikage get out of there?

Angelina was stunned for several seconds before her mind came to a head—Killer Queen's ability to reverse time with Bites the Dust? The commander couldn't control Killer Queen anymore? She'd never seen him do this before; he usually made Killer Queen make faces, pick her nose, do splits in mid-air, and stuff like that…

"Hey!" Angelina exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "Bai Ying, what happened to you? What did you mean by those words just now?"

"This..."

Bai Ying hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled, "Anyway, just remember it."

"Oh, I see..."

Angelina smiled and nodded, looked around, and then widened her eyes: (＃`O′)！

"Pretend you didn't hear me? Do you think I'm a fool? Tell me everything right now!" Angelina threatened. "Otherwise, I'll hang you on the wall—head down and shake you like crazy!"

"Now that things have come to this, I can't hide it anymore."

Bai Ying sighed and said seriously, "It's too long to tell you now, but I feel that since you accepted your superpowers recently, you've become particularly unruly and violent, not even bothering to hide your rebellious nature. As your superior, in order to consolidate my power, I need to play the victim and gain your sympathy, so that every time you think about using your superpowers, you'll think, 'The commander is already in such a miserable state, let's just forget about it,' and that way I can regain control..."
