Uneasy daily life

"Uh-huh?"

Yukinoshita waved the paper and pen, signaling Angelina to quickly take it and write down the agreement.

“9528, I am your senior.” Angelina’s eyes flashed, and she said calmly, “The problem is very serious, concerning the comfort of the world and the survival of our commander. Put aside your lewd and strange relationship for now! We need to discuss important matters, very important matters! If you continue to act recklessly, I will hang you on the wall!”

"Oh?" Yukino shrugged. "I'd really like to try what it feels like to be hung on the wall..."

Then, Angelina hung Yukino Yukinoshita on the living room wall.

“Alright, let’s put all this nonsense aside. Angelina definitely has her own reasons, and I won’t say much about that. This is between you and the hater.” Mai Sakurajima shook her head and said, “Yukino doesn’t need to be too sensitive about this situation. The most important thing about this connection is always the feelings between each other, not what others might influence… Let’s talk about the news Angelina brought.”

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Angelina and nodded gently: "Anshinin-san, you tell us."

Hmm... I feel a little guilty, so I don't dare to hang them on the wall anymore.

Angelina put Yukino down and hung her on the wall with an air of self-righteousness and detachment, just as skillfully and calmly as she hung the Crimson Troupe on the wall.

"Time reversal is actually Koga Tomoe's puberty syndrome... Click click, the commander misjudged at the time and thought that time reversal was related to Killer Queen. In addition, I worked hard to study superpowers and was able to retain memories in time reversal, so he mentioned it to me... Gurgle, the news that the commander will disappear in the future was brought by the future Makinohara Shoko."

Angelina tried her best to put on a serious face, attempting to project the authority of a superpowered individual.

In just a few words, she had already eaten six cookies and drunk half a glass of orange juice.

“Superpowers… I don’t understand. I’m not a superpowered person, so I have no way to deal with these weird things.” Toyohama Kazuka said frankly, “Anyway, just trust that bastard, right? He can’t bear to lose me, so he won’t suddenly disappear.”

Yukino Yukinoshita was used to the other party's occasional bold remarks. She gently shook her head and said, "I also believe in Haku-kun, but Haku-kun seems to have made many preparations for the Killer Queen, including preparations for failure and disappearance... We have to think of a way."

"What other way is there? You can think of things, but that bastard definitely knows more and has thought of things more thoroughly."

Yukino Yukinoshita spread her hands and said, "That bastard didn't really care about this kind of thing... Ah, speaking of which, no wonder that bastard acted strangely that night, shouting things like I want to break fate and that the strong should take the initiative."

I guess it was a time reversal that interrupted what was going on between me and the rascal. As a result, the rascal rushed off to solve the problem, and after taking a nap, I thought about it for a bit and then went back to Tokyo from Chiba... It's really quite strange.

Before time rewinds, perhaps that jerk came home earlier and cornered me in the bedroom before I was fully awake, inadvertently cutting off my escape route. Hearing the door open and footsteps jolted me awake, my mind a mix of positive and anxious anticipation. So I took out what I'd prepared, ready to confront that jerk… huh?

Yukino Yukinoshita looked thoughtful, raising her hand to gently rub her temples. Why did she have such a strange feeling the more she thought about it? The more she thought about it, the more things that seemed to have been ignored and forgotten surfaced.

"If we're talking about superpowers, maybe I have some? It's probably due to the effects of puberty syndrome. I can become less noticeable to some extent, and people might overlook my presence... Of course, it's not as bizarre as puberty syndrome." Mai Sakurajima asked softly, "The time we swapped bodies, it was mainly because of Hana, right? Can you swap bodies with other people?"

"what?"

Feng Bin and Hua shook their heads blankly: "Superpowers? I don't feel anything at all."

"Perhaps because we were all affected, the residual effects were almost non-existent after the puberty syndrome was resolved?" Yukino Yukinoshita guessed, then frowned and sighed, "Haku-kun must have done everything he could... It seems like we can't help at all."

Angelina chewed on a cookie and couldn't help but straighten her back—what do you mean by not being able to help? Here, here, are superpowered beings who can make the earth tremble!

"I think I remember now, time seems to have reversed...twice?"

Yukino Yukinoshita murmured absentmindedly, "Before the flow reversed, he and I were in bed... The first time it reversed, he came to see me in the afternoon, and then went to do something I don't know... The second time it reversed, I went back to Tokyo from Chiba, and he came straight after me..."

Hmm? You can retain memories too? But didn't you say something strange?

Angelina slowly opened her eyes.

"It's not very clear, it feels like it's been forgotten, it needs a trigger to remember." Yukinoshita Haruno rubbed her temples and asked curiously, "Have you guys remembered anything?"

The three shook their heads.

"Could it be because I was with that jerk back then, or had frequent contact with him? Xiao An'an, why don't you try letting us use that superpower of preserving memories?"

Yukinoshita Haruno fell into deep thought.

"Wait a minute!" Toyohama Kazuka suddenly exclaimed in shock, "You're in bed with that bastard?"

Yukinoshita blinked, pointed at her younger sister, and shifted the blame, saying, "Yukino-chan started it! Yukino-chan is just imitating Yukino-chan!"

Toyohama and Hana looked at Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Is this the time to talk about this?!" Yukino Yukinoshita said irritably. "Besides, this is between me and Haku-kun—Sakurajima-senpai, didn't she film a kissing scene with Haku-kun? It wasn't just a simple kissing scene... she even French kissed him in public!"

Toyohama and Hana subconsciously looked at Sakurajima Mai.

Mai Sakurajima looked away and said calmly, "Since it's a romantic relationship, isn't this normal?"

What, what's going on?

Feng Bin and Hua looked around in slight confusion, suddenly feeling like they didn't belong.

Huh? I don't need to think about anything special, nor do I need to do anything special. Just playing around and bickering with that jerk is already enough to make me happy...

But what's going on? This strange atmosphere where only I feel helpless.

"You two really do have a very lewd relationship!!"

Angelina couldn't help but complain loudly, and then stuffed a cookie into her mouth.

The circle of scumbags is too messy! I don't want to join!

Chapter 88 Maple and Flower Maple

When they discussed it, they couldn't seem to come up with any conclusions or plans. The only thing they could do was cheer Bai Ying on.

Also, I'd like Angelina to follow Bai Ying around more often; it would be helpful if she could.

"Sigh... Superpowers can be annoying sometimes. I've been feeling really awkward lately, like I'm wearing my clothes inside out."

Angelina sighed and popped a small cookie into her mouth.

"I don't know much about superpowers."

Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head, picked up the brewed black tea, and began pouring tea for the others. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Haku-kun doesn't hide these kinds of things, but..."

"He glosses over it casually, sprinkling it in random, nonsensical remarks, and his behavior and tone are never serious..." Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but laugh. "Yukino doesn't need to be too hard on herself—liking someone is a matter between two people, mutual liking is a matter between one person, and the hater won't be so stubborn and arbitrary, right?"

Feng Bin and Hua took the black tea and nodded slightly: "That's right."

"Yukino-chan, if you keep acting like this, be careful you don't get tricked by that jerk." Yukinoshita Haruno shook her head with a tsk tsk. "Believe it or not, if that jerk sees you like this, he'll immediately create a lone hero for himself, bearing everything alone, and then open his heart to you. Just when you've been comforted enough, he'll suddenly jump up, point at you, and burst out laughing..."

Feng Bin and Hua thought for a moment: "That's right."

"That's true. Bai Jun will definitely take it seriously. Being able to be happy and relaxed on that basis is not a bad thing."

Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a moment, then understood the logic, but a complex feeling still lingered in her heart. She slowly said, "Hmm...maybe, I sometimes have those thoughts too, like...I wish Haku-kun could rely on me a little? Even though I can't be of much help, at least I could hug him..."

Toyohama Kazuka: "That's right."

"Great idea! I'll take it, sis!" Yukinoshita Haruno said with a grin. "When it comes to building rapport and stealing the spotlight, you really have to go for the serious Yukino-chan. How can there be a story if you don't take it seriously? Hehe~"

"Thinking about it that way, it makes sense," Mai Sakurajima agreed wholeheartedly. "Because Yukino is sensitive and awkward, we had more experience interacting with her. Is this what they mean by 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease'?"

"#!"

Yukino Yukinoshita said irritably, "You two, stop teasing me. I'm serious. It's not some kind of premeditated scheme!"

"Ugh, this sounds like a lot of trouble," Toyohama Kazuka said nonchalantly. "Anyway, just trust the bastard!"

"What an enviable, simple formula."

"Or what? Twist into a pretzel like you?"

The group chatted casually, and Bai Ying's presence gradually decreased during the conversation, occasionally interspersed with some playful banter.

Angelina, who was eating cookies, felt out of place.

What's going on? Why is there this atmosphere where only I'm not doing well?

It seems like the superior's circle isn't so promiscuous? It's just like ordinary friends having a meal and chatting...

So it was the superior officer who was promiscuous, and not someone else?

"We should ask Bai Jun about this and see if he has any leads. Anxinyuan student..."

Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously reached out to eat a cookie, but her fingers suddenly grasped nothing.

She looked down and saw that the baked cookies on the plate had vanished without a trace, with the last one in Angelina's hand.

Angelina blinked and politely handed the cookie to Yukino Yukinoshita.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita withdrew her hand and said calmly, "If possible, I would like to have Anshinin stay at my house for a while, so that if any unexpected changes occur, it will be convenient to help Haku-kun nearby."

"Oh, I'll go back and ask my parents."

Angelina put the cookie in her mouth; it would be impolite to refuse.

Hmm... compared to Chitanda's cookies, Yukinoshita's cookies have a different flavor.

I'm not sure which one tastes better, so I suggest I try them all.

Yukino Yukinoshita casually remarked, "Yukino-chan is proficient in making various kinds of sweets, and she has all sorts of tools for making sweets at home. She usually likes to cook to relax and also to treat herself to some sweets."

“Leave it to me!” Angelina immediately patted her chest and promised, “I will definitely convince Mom and Dad!”

……

……

"Now I'm used to coming to Yokohama on Saturdays."

"Yeah, I don't know what I've been through, but my weekends have turned into workdays..."

"Cheer up!"

After getting off the train, Yui Yuigahama promptly slapped the listless Hachiman Hikigaya on the back: "You have to work hard! You have to be positive! You have to make Kaede happy and not afraid!"

"Oh..." Hachiman Hikigaya gave a perfunctory reply, then asked curiously, "Where's the captain? Did he take leave? Then I need to..."

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "He's writing a manuscript at the police station."

Hachiman Hikigaya: "I don't want it anymore."

“Sir…” Angelina said with some hesitation, “It’s really not surprising at all, very much like the Scarlet Troupe.”

Could that so-called corpse be a fortune teller?

Is he really dead? Or is he faking it? Is he dead or not? It's not worth risking your life to cause trouble for your accomplices, is it? What if? If a fortune teller's aesthetic is prophecy and fate, then doing something like this isn't so unbelievable, is it?

Ah, the Scarlet Troupe.

The group chatted as they walked toward the area where the Azusagawa family lived. Before they even reached their destination, they saw two people walking toward them on the road ahead.

One was a middle-aged man who appeared refined but had a rather weathered look, and the other was the target of the commission, Azusagawa Kaede.

"Xiao Feng?"

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up, and she ran over excitedly: "Out playing again today? I even prepared some new games! And this uncle is..."

Before Yuigahama Yui could finish her rambling, Azusagawa Kaede frowned slightly, moved a little closer to the middle-aged man beside her, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"what?"

Yui Yuigahama froze, and subconsciously replied, "I-I am Yui Yuigahama."

The others have already come over.

"I don't know you." Azusagawa Kaede frowned and hesitated. "Are you... a friend of my brother's?"

Brother?

Everyone froze in place.

"Are you Sakuta's friends?" The middle-aged man nodded politely and greeted him. "Hello, I am Sakuta's father... Kaede's dissociative disorder has been cured, so she may have forgotten about you."

"Ah... ah?"

Yui Yuigahama opened her mouth, looked at Azusagawa Kaede whose expression was completely different, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I'm taking Kaede to visit my wife, so I won't chat any longer." The middle-aged man smiled, paused slightly, and then said, "Sakuta might be in a bad mood, so please try to cheer him up."

The middle-aged man held Azusagawa Kaede's hand, or rather, Azusagawa Hanakaze's hand, and walked away along the road.

Yui Yuigahama was somewhat dazed: "H-Hachi... what is this...?"

"It's the worst-case scenario," Hachiman Hikigaya took a deep breath, "The illness is cured, and Kaede Azusagawa is cured too..."

"Huh? Ah? Ah?" Angelina stammered twice. "Then, what about Feng...?"

"Let's go see Azusagawa-kun!"

Yukino Yukinoshita snapped out of her daze and said with a furrowed brow.

The group rushed to the Azusagawa house. Yukino Yukinoshita rang the doorbell a few times, but no one came to open the door.

"I come!"

Angelina volunteered and used her superpower on the door lock. An invisible force opened the lock, and the group filed in, but they did not find Sakuta Azusagawa in the house.
