Uneasy daily life

Yukino Yukinoshita disagreed: "She's not as good as Sakurajima-senpai, who can act so recklessly in other people's homes."

"I heard you were quite unruly at school."

How could that be! I'm at school...

Yukino Yukinoshita was about to retort when she suddenly remembered that she had indeed kissed Haku-kun once at school: "...That time, Haku-kun talked about time reversal, and I acted impulsively."

"Isn't it the same principle?" Mai Sakurajima chuckled lightly. "When emotions run high, how many rules and agreements can one care about? Have you forgotten Angelina's written agreement?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

“If you like something, you like it. The most important thing is to satisfy your liking. What can you promise by making a deal to split up for a few days? Maybe when Yukino is happy, she'll still be agonizing over and complaining about the content of the deal.” Mai Sakurajima said calmly, “Black fans have their things to do, you have your things to do, and I have my things to do—when you like someone so much that you can't control yourself, then you can indulge in that feeling and satisfy that feeling. But you still have to go your own way. You can't live your life with so many rules and regulations.”

Yukino Yukinoshita instantly understood what Mai Sakurajima meant. After thinking about it for a moment, she wondered if she suddenly wanted to be intimate with Shiro, should she feel awkward because it wasn't her turn?

Making any kind of agreement is indeed a bit strange...

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, glancing at Mai Sakurajima's composed demeanor, completely lacking the awkwardness and restraint one would expect in someone else's home, and suddenly felt a little strange.

Just like a few days ago, when I was being rampantly infested by the white fungus that liked to bully others, I felt unusually calm when I groggily opened my eyes the next day. I thought a lot about things like "I shouldn't be too obsessed, people still need to realize their self-worth" and "I advised Bai Jun to restrain himself, live life to the fullest, and make the most of his second life." Then I seriously considered running for student council president...

"Sage state?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's consciousness stirred with doubt.

Sakurajima Mai asked in surprise, "Huh? What is that?"

"Ahem..." Yukino Yukinoshita coughed lightly, feigning nonchalance, and said, "I saw this online by chance. It's said that after one's desires are satisfied, one will develop a calm and rational state of mind, called the sage state... Is Sakurajima-senpai satisfied?"

"?"

Sakurajima Mai, her face disheveled by the wind, gritted her teeth and retorted with a slight smile, "Yukino is just sexually frustrated?"

"?"

Yukino, standing beneath the snow, was bewildered by the wind and couldn't find the right words to retort.

The awkward atmosphere in the living room dissipated, transforming into a subtle, understated feeling. Yukino Yukinoshita was engrossed in meticulously organizing her campaign plans, while Mai Sakurajima watched variety shows and dramas on TV. The two tacitly stopped discussing those strange topics, occasionally turning to other things, such as Hiratsuka Shizuka's attempt to drive away the 'mistress,' what Shirakage was plotting, and their assessment of the current trends in the entertainment industry…

Dinner time arrived quickly. Bai Ying cooked several dishes to go well with rice. The main dish was a pot of stewed pork ribs, with a rich broth made from tomatoes, carrots, pork bones, and other ingredients. The aroma was irresistible.

The white, humanoid stand-in dutifully served the dishes, looking like a laborer with several collars and chains on its body.

Sakurajima Mai asked in a strange tone, "Is this how you usually use your Stand?"

"Ordinary people can't see a stand-in, so it can't even play a supporting role when acting. Besides doing some manual labor in private, what else can it do?" Bai Ying shrugged and greeted people with the demeanor of a head of the household. "Come, come, sit down and eat. Let's see how good my soup-making skills are."

"I thought I'd see a table full of dishes sizzling with chili oil," Mai Sakurajima said, glancing at the food. "They shouldn't be the bland-looking dishes, right?"

Bai Ying said regretfully, "If I send the hero to meditate and seclude herself on the toilet, she might wake up in the middle of the night and kick me off the bed so I can change my position and go back to sleep."

Sakurajima Mai looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with surprise: "Woke up in the middle of the night?"

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita picked up her chopsticks and said with a straight face, "It's just sleeping—eating, don't mention those strange things."

Bai Ying shoveled a mouthful of rice, staring at Sakurajima Mai with a glint in his eyes.

Sakurajima Mai rolled her eyes dismissively, pretending not to see Yukino's antics. She thought to herself that with Yukino's personality, seriously trying to define who would get what on which day was just asking for trouble and causing a scene...

Dinner was quickly finished, and Yukino Yukinoshita took the initiative to wash the dishes. Mai Sakurajima went home to get her pajamas and brought her own shower gel and shampoo into the bathroom, clearly planning to stay there for the night. Yukinoshita's house also had enough rooms.

Bai Ying sat in the living room, meditating in front of the computer screen, lamenting the lack of material. The creation of the second chapter of "The Legend of the Generals" was fraught with difficulties.

A short while later, Mai Sakurajima, who had just finished showering, sat down next to him, drying her hair, while Yukino Yukinoshita, who had just finished washing the dishes, walked into the bathroom with her pajamas.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Mai Sakurajima asked, "Black Fan, how far have you gotten?"

The white figure returned a mysterious look.

Sakurajima Mai felt that this guy was fishing for her attention, so she continued to blow-dry her hair.

A moment later, Yukino Yukinoshita, wearing pajamas and still warm, walked out of the bathroom: "Haku-kun, it's your turn to take a shower."

"Okay, go wait in bed." Bai Ying said, and before Yukino Yukinoshita could react, she grabbed her pajamas and ran into the bathroom.

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes twitched slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Mai Sakurajima.

Sakurajima Mai blinked, ran her left hand through her smooth, fragrant hair, and handed over the hairdryer with her right: "Hmm?"

Yukino Yukinoshita sat down to one side, took the hairdryer, and silently started drying her hair. That faint, strange feeling from before resurfaced—it was like buying a new outfit, having already seen what it looked like, but still feeling unfamiliar and strange when you put it on.

"To fall asleep together under the moon, to be awakened together by the sunlight..." Mai Sakurajima said with a smile, "As expected, when it comes to reminiscing about the past, Yukino is the one who is most unsatisfied."

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "Don't blame others for your lack of initiative."

Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but smile: "Then, to be fair, I'll sleep in Black Fan's room tonight?"

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita's expression stiffened slightly, and she turned the other person's words back, "Didn't Sakurajima-senpai also say that matters of the heart cannot be measured by fairness, rules, and agreements?"

Mai Sakurajima said knowingly, "Yukino is still unsatisfied."

"#!" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Yes, so I'll sleep with Haku-kun. Haku-kun's room is fine for Sakurajima-senpai to sleep in for one night. After all, only the room my sister occasionally stayed in here has any life. The other rooms are too cold and deserted, not the way to treat guests."

While the two were exchanging glances, Bai Ying had already quickly finished showering and came out, saying with a smile, "Have you two come to a conclusion yet? I'm still waiting to reap the benefits."

Fisherman profit?

You're kidding me!

Yukino Yukinoshita hummed softly, "The white fungus should go back to its own petri dish and rest."

"Sister was so warm and welcoming a few days ago, why are you so cold to me today?" Bai Ying's expression fell, and she raised her hand to wipe her eyes resentfully. "It's only been a few days, and you're already so indifferent. Have you already grown tired of my body? Well, it's just that I think I'm pretty. In my eyes, I'm nothing more than an insignificant little flower. I tend to it when I'm interested, and then I forget about it when I'm not. I'm afraid that having me around like this will only annoy you. I'm just being ungrateful..."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes twitched, and she couldn't help but clench her fists. Before she could even retort, the white figure's expression changed, and she said to Mai Sakurajima, "My lord, it's time to come to my room to rest."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima sighed mournfully, "Since my sister can't find Yukino-neechan, she comes to seduce me. It's not that she's deeply in love; she's just afraid of being lonely..."

"?"

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the two drama queens and thought, "It's a good thing my sister isn't here, otherwise my blood pressure would have skyrocketed!"

"Anyway, go back to your room and rest. You have to go to school tomorrow, so go to bed early!"

Yukino Yukinoshita got up in annoyance.

Bai Ying muttered to herself in a perfectly timed voice, "Looks like I'll have to take initiative and sneak into the room tonight... Remember to leave the door open for me."

"?"

Sakurajima Mai couldn't hold back any longer and decisively stood up, saying, "I'll sleep with Yukino tonight. I'll remember to lock the door from the inside, so don't worry."

The white figure immediately took three steps back, his face filled with disbelief.

"No—! The hero leaned against me, his breath occasionally brushing against my neck, creating a ticklish sensation. Sunlight woke me from my drowsiness, and I opened my eyes in a daze. I could reach out and touch her slender, soft body at any moment. I tilted my head and secretly sniffed, the fragrance of her hair swirling around my nose. Occasionally, I would steal a glance and meet her evasive gaze... I've developed a habit of not being able to fall asleep without holding my girlfriend!"

Who gave you permission to share your thoughts!

"Then change your habits!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was filled with shame and indignation. She decisively pulled Mai Sakurajima back to her room and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

The two ran away, and Bai Ying slowly concealed the grief on her face, a smile gradually spreading across her lips.

The plan goes through!

Bai Ying sat down to continue brainstorming her storytelling content, and casually took out her phone to send a message.

[White Shadow Power-Up: Calling! Calling! 9528, my violent teacher found out I did the splits on several boats!]

[Yukino: What? There's something so fun about this? Who gave it away? Yukino-chan was caught by Shizuka flirting with a married man, and couldn't resist the questioning before confessing?]

[White Shadow Power-Up: It's the Hero Plus who's been discovered. Confess to the Hero as well, but you haven't been exposed yet.]

[Yukino: That's true, otherwise Shizuka would have called me—I have to get involved in this. I'll come over tomorrow.]

[White Shadow Enhanced Version: Trash!]

After chatting for a while and estimating the time, I lay on the floor and peeked into the bedroom, where the lights were already off.

Bai Ying closed her laptop and tiptoed to Yukino Yukinoshita's door.

Hehehe! Brave warrior, I am a superpowered individual. All I need to do is send my Stand into the room, unlock the door through the wall, and that's it...

Click.

Bai Ying looked down at the doorknob turning downwards and was taken aback—I hadn't even called for a stand-in yet, and the stand-in had already appeared and started to act on its own?

The door was gently pushed open a crack, and in the dim light, Mai Sakurajima was opening the door quietly. Through the crack, she saw a white figure standing outside. Her movements paused, and her deep eyes widened slightly, silently revealing doubt and surprise—What are you doing?

Hey? Isn't this the easiest way to save trouble?

Bai Ying decisively reached out and pulled the door open, then strode in confidently. Sakurajima Mai subconsciously took two steps back and turned around to check on Yukino Yukinoshita's sleeping condition. Before she could react, a hand reached around her knees and used its strength to lift her off the ground in a princess carry.

Sakurajima Mai's eyes widened, and she quickly realized that they had bumped into each other. She reached out and hooked her arm around the white figure's neck, preparing to lean in and whisper something...

The white figure pressed down with its heel, slamming the open door shut with a bang.

"?"

"?"

On the bed, Yukino Yukinoshita had just fallen asleep when she heard a noticeable noise. She opened her eyes in confusion and vaguely saw a figure approaching the bedside in the dim light. Mai Sakurajima's voice followed: "Going to the bathroom, you closed the door a little too loudly."

Yukino Yukinoshita's sleepy eyelids were closed by drowsiness, but even in her drowsy state, she couldn't resist her sarcastic nature: "Hmph, Mai-senpai is probably out having sex with someone..."

In what was probably a state between dreaming and waking, Yukino Yukinoshita's voice carried a hint of delicate melancholy.

The mattress sank, causing the blanket to tug and shift. Yukino Yukinoshita, used to people moving around in her bed, instinctively rolled over and covered herself with the blanket. Just as she was about to drift back to sleep, her cheek was suddenly lightly touched… um… not touched, but kissed…

relative?

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly opened her eyes, her drowsiness instantly vanishing with fright. Her bright eyes widened as she vaguely saw a figure on her pillow. A thought flashed through her mind—she had thought it was to restrain the other party, but it turned out to be inviting a wolf into the house?!

"Sakurajima, you—"

"I'm here."

A faint voice drifted from the other end: "I thought it was just a secret rendezvous, but I didn't expect the hater to be so bold."

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned. She then propped herself up and tried to reach for the bedside lamp, but as soon as she made the move, a hand precisely shoved her elbow, which was propped up on the pillow.

Yukino Yukinoshita fell back onto the pillow with a soft "plop." The white figure moved closer and placed a hand on the other's shoulder: "Hero, don't move, or I'll have to lock myself in your arms and sleep with you all night, so you'll wake up with your head crooked tomorrow morning..."

"Shiro-jun!" Yukino Yukinoshita finally saw the person in front of her clearly. Lying on her side on the bed, she couldn't help but feel bewildered. "What are you doing?!"

"Hmph! Of course I'll sleep with you all!"

Bai Ying said matter-of-factly, "Did you think I'd have to back down just because there are two of you? I can sleep with two people too!"

"#!"

Yukino Yukinoshita said irritably, "Go back to your room and sleep!"

“Well…” Bai Ying suggested a new idea, “Why don’t we let the Hero Plus go down and sleep in my room?”

"?" Sakurajima Mai rolled her eyes and kicked the white figure under the covers. "I think we can let Yukino go downstairs."

Yukinoshita Yukino: “?”

This is my bed!

wrong!

"Sakurajima-senpai!" Yukino Yukinoshita tried to emphasize the seriousness of the problem, "We've talked about this before, right? Even if our relationship is like that, this kind of thing..."

Mai Sakurajima said quietly, "You could try to persuade the hater-kun; he seems to be serious."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze away.

"I want to experience the sleep quality of having two women on my left and right," Bai Ying comforted her. "Don't worry, I wouldn't do anything to you or the Hero Plus at a time like this, that would be too weird..."

Yukino Yukinoshita, her face contorted in a grimace, gritted her teeth, breaking the rare barrier of only talking and not acting. She reached under the covers and pinched the white figure's side hard: "You're being reckless! You shameless, unruly creature! This kind of thing..."

"Hiss! Calm down! Calm down, to be honest, I'm starting to regret it too..."

Bai Ying was attacked from both sides. Don't be fooled by Sakurajima Mai's calm demeanor; she had already used her two-finger technique, twisting left and right: "If it were just sleeping with one person, I could justifiably touch them all over. But the Three-Body Problem, with three people lying together, is far too complicated to calculate!"

“If you keep acting recklessly, I will still get angry.”

Yukino Yukinoshita snorted irritably, turned over, closed her eyes, suppressed her chaotic thoughts, and made a gesture as if she was going to sleep.

Mai Sakurajima chuckled, then turned over to face away from the middle, pulling the blankets taut on both sides and pressing them against the white figure in the middle.

The white figure lay in the middle, not feeling much lust. Smelling the intertwined fragrances, she closed her eyes contentedly, ready to sleep.

When I open my eyes tomorrow, what position will the hero be sleeping in? What position will the hero plus be sleeping in? What kind of expression will they have when they wake up? How long will I have to watch them before they wake up? And what kind of expression will they have when they wake up?

Waking up and falling asleep feels like a journey through life and death, and every glance I see is of you, only to realize that I've been asleep all day.
