Uneasy daily life

"Friend! Gift!"

The black-haired man, with a smile on his face, walked forward calmly, opened the bottle in his hand, demonstrated by pouring it into the air, took a sip, and then handed it to the other person in a friendly manner, radiating enthusiasm and a smile.

The 'savage' held a long stick in one hand, appearing alert, and took the bottle with the other. He looked at the unlabeled bottle with curiosity, then brought it to his lips and took a sip.

The blond man and the purple-haired woman saw the 'savage' seem to say something, and the black-haired man stared in disbelief, taking several steps back in shock.

The next moment, the 'savage' suddenly raised his arms and shouted, and the seemingly ordinary grass and trees began to rustle. The blond man and the purple-haired woman looked up and saw ghostly figures moving among the trees, seemingly both deep and close, as if they were ambushed from all sides!

"Bring a few guests along! Let them experience the local customs and culture of Tutoring Island! Hehehehe!"

"Savage!" shouted, letting out bursts of cold laughter.

blond man: "?"

Purple-haired woman: "?"

Holy crap! Japanese?!

……

Let's turn back time a little further.

Yukinoshita's father led the company's employees to clean up ash on a deserted island.

While it's called an uninhabited island, it's actually a private island. You can find some old buildings on the island, such as wooden houses and stone houses. When digging, you can even find remnants of daily life, such as instant noodle containers and coffee cans. As for being an inhabited island, it's not very lively. There are very few wild animals, and birds flying around are quite common. The vegetation grows wildly, showing no signs of being tended to.

From a businessman's perspective, this island has a superior geographical location and is situated in Izu, a place with a thriving tourism industry. It has huge potential. With proper development, whether it's building a resort, preserving more of the natural ecology, raising some animals, transplanting some plants, or planning and constructing roads, it can have a significant role to play as a tourist attraction. It would be a great pity to leave it to grow wildly like this.

From a father's perspective, could that kid have some strange background? What kind of rich second-generation heir? Otherwise, how could he have found a deserted island like this? As the saying goes, men other than me tend to go bad when they have money. Most people aren't bad people, they just don't have the means to be bad. The truly good people are those who could be bad but choose not to, like me!

The fact that the rebels have such connections shows they have ulterior motives. What if young and middle-aged goddesses are bullied, wronged, or mistreated?

The father's face was somber beneath the snow.

"What's wrong, boss? The project went perfectly, it was finished on time, could it be that the payment hasn't arrived yet?"

"It looks like she's nitpicking her daughter's boyfriend."

"Find fault?"

"If he did something bad, then he is a bad person and must be killed."

"...Did you learn your conjunctions from the PE teacher?"

"This is what social studies teachers teach us."

Yukinoshita's father turned around and glared at the two old employees who were whispering loudly: "What? I have a wife! And a daughter! Do you have a problem with that?"

“We have that too.” ×2

"Nonsense! Humph!" Yukinoshita's father snorted coldly. "I'm going to the toilet!"

Under the snow, the father walked away step by step, perhaps thinking that he was not stepping on a road, but on someone's skin.

The two employees continued smoking and chatting happily.

"The boss's daughter's boyfriend is supposedly a student at the same school?"

"Yes, I heard she lives in an apartment owned by the company. They rented out the apartment next door through someone. Don't you live in that apartment too? I've never seen her before?"

"That should be it. I once saw the boss's daughter and a boy coming back from a morning run at work."

"I guess their families are very strict, which is why they don't live together."

"Tsk, my son only knows how to play all day long. When will he come to his senses and bring a girl home for me to see?"

The second employee's voice asked, "You dare let him have a relationship so early?"

"He's still young? He's already a college student. I keep urging him to find a girlfriend, and he just gives perfunctory 'uh-huh' responses. When I mention the news about the country's low birth rate, I don't mean for him to follow suit."

Didn't they urge you in high school?

"Just don't get distracted in high school, why are you still nagging?"

Employee Number One, smoking a cigarette and gazing at the distant mountains and forests, said in a wise and experienced tone, "The boss is quite easygoing, daring to let his daughter date in high school, not afraid of causing trouble with premarital pregnancy. Young lads are all a bit dim-witted; getting married right after graduation is not a romantic thing."

The other person chimed in, "You can't say that! High school is when people are most innocent and fond of the opposite sex. People are willing to pursue success, which may have a probability of less than 2%, so why can't they pursue first love, which has an equally small probability? The boss is a prime example. He met the boss's wife in high school, and not only did he have his first love, but he also had success. He's a true winner in life! It's outrageous, ugh!"

"Exactly! Pshaw!"

"Sometimes, life is like a steaming hot meal, the most fragrant and delicious when it's fresh out of the oven. Just when you're about to enjoy it, some people remind you to get your chopsticks, some tell you to brush your teeth, some tell you to take a shower, and some suddenly call to discuss something with you. When finally no one bothers you, you put the food in your mouth, and you can't tell whether it's the temperature of the food or the temperature of your mouth. But you're hungry, and you can't not eat."

The other person sighed with a sense of life's hardships, "Life is just leftovers."

Employee Number One took the last drag of his cigarette, turned around, and asked with a smile, "Why are you suddenly being so artistic today?"

Employee number two watched him silently and nodded.

Employee Number One turned around and saw the white figure squatting beside him, recording with his phone. He froze for a few seconds, then instantly recognized the person—Holy crap! Isn't that the boyfriend of the boss's daughter?!

Bai Ying smiled slightly, put her arm around the other person's shoulder, and resumed her original voice: "Uncle, you don't want my brother to know that you're talking badly about him behind his back, do you?"

Employee Number One asked in surprise, "What bad things did I say about the boss...?"

Wait a minute! It seems they really said that?!

"You said it yourself!"

"You're not joking, are you?" Bai Ying smiled.

Employee Number One twitched his eyebrow: "What do you want to do?"

"At your age, you're clearly an experienced employee. You can set an example for others and have a lot of authority..."

The white figure took out a large bag from behind and threw it on the ground. Inside the unfolded package, strange clothes woven from vegetation could be seen.

……

"Honey, you've arrived? Yeah, just take the car to the pier. There are yachts arranged there, so we can just come over. It'll be more convenient if you come with Yukino Haruno... The process here is almost done... Once everyone's here, let's ask Yukino Haruno to go sightseeing in Izu together..."

Those despicable rebels!

You can stay on the deserted island and play house with your classmates while our family goes off to have fun!

Yukinoshita's father sneered. The last time the whole family went out together, it felt more like visiting his father-in-law than a proper trip and fun. Plus, there was that troublemaker. This time, being able to put together a family trip was a good thing that the troublemaker had done something wicked... Oh no, it should be thanks to him that he was able to cleverly organize a family trip!

Next up are the rebels, and the solution isn't difficult.

A group of students are tricked into going to a deserted island for special tutoring. Even if the rebels had extraordinary abilities, they couldn't manage it all by themselves. At this time, the rebels can lend their subordinates to the rebels and then lend out the little goddess... oops! They can rescue the little goddess from her work. You do your thing, and we'll do ours. Isn't that wonderful?

This plan for exchanging benefits should be flawless.

Thinking this, Yukinoshita's father walked back to the resting place and found that something was wrong.

"What are you wearing? What are you putting on your faces? What are you doing?"

Has nature awakened our wild side?

"Huh?" an employee who had transformed into a wild man asked in surprise, "Boss, isn't this the welcome activity you asked us to prepare?"

Yukinoshita's father: "?"

Who is falsely conveying the imperial edict?!

"Big brother! You're here!"

Suddenly, another member of the rebels, also dressed as a savage, appeared, holding a set of savage clothing in his hand. He enthusiastically promoted it, saying, "This is a new era of clothing made based on the logic of human attention. It covers more area than women's clothing in summer, but uses common sense to make people mistakenly believe that you are naked. It's simply a perfect creation! You've come at the perfect time. We're just missing you!"

"???????"

Yukinoshita's father looked at the twenty-odd savages and his eyes twitched. He coughed slightly, trying to put on a stern face and intimidate them with the authority of his high position: "Alright, alright! You can wear it, but everyone else, get out of here and change. What kind of talk is this..."

"Huh?"

A cryptic smile flickered across the rebel's face. He raised his hand and waved, "Someone! Help our leader change his clothes!"

Ah, someone's here? Who's the boss? Who's the employee? Who's the guy who's worked alongside us for years to build this company to its current success? Who came with you...?

The father sneered disdainfully at Yukinoshita, then was pushed down.

Holy crap! They've mutinied!

I haven't retired yet!

written request for leave

Good heavens, while trying to figure out how to write this, I suddenly realized that I had unknowingly crammed a bunch of characters into one place... Hayama, Isshiki, Miura, my niece, my biggest nemesis, the Yukinoshita family, Hachiman, Yui, my girlfriend group, and even the PAB members who set the stage for my university days...

Ugh, I realized I've made a huge mistake without even realizing it. The more I think about the relationships in my head, the more tangled and confusing they become. I also feel like I've developed a bad habit: I can never maintain a protagonist's perspective, and no matter how much I get caught up in the relationships, the more confused I get...

I can't figure it out, I can't make sense of it, so I'm taking a day off.

Chapter 41 Water? Ice!

"High school life is tough, but college life is great. To achieve a better life, hard work will help you climb higher! Let's strive for college!"

twitch.

"Parents' urging, school's admonitions, endless private tutoring... I know that these are things that everyone doesn't want to talk about, but as long as we get through this final hurdle, a breathtaking view awaits us!"

distortion.

"We've made it through three years, are we really going to let our guard down at the last minute?!"

struggle.

"The plum blossom's beauty cannot withstand the bitter cold; its ambition is as lofty as a mountain. Soaring to the clouds is its own ambition; why should it ask about the ease or difficulty of the human world!"

what?

"Of course, we also provide entertainment services. Since you refuse to accept the cramming of civilization, then embrace the call of the wild! There are plenty of savage outfits here. Students who strongly resist tutoring can come up and get one. Let's spend seven carefree, woohoo-hoo days... What? Go outside? I don't recommend swimming. There might be sharks in the water."

This seems like a choice, but in reality, there is no choice. The essence is that the chosen one uses familiar rhetoric and barbaric logic... Wait a minute! A savage?!

The chemist suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, looking around blankly. He found himself and his companion locked in a simple wooden cage, with a campfire burning outside the cage.

The open space was teeming with people, a bustling crowd surrounded by about twenty savages. A log, cut from some tree, was planted on the ground, and the savage leader stood atop the log, waving the stick and shouting loudly. Sometimes he spoke in a very un-savage manner, sometimes he spoke in a familiar, incoherent manner, and sometimes he spoke in a passionate and impassioned manner...

"Ah, you're awake."

"Hmm..." The chemistry guy patted his head blankly. "Am I still drunk? Still dreaming? Were those savages?"

“No, no,” the blond man chuckled, giving a thumbs-up. “We just accidentally wandered onto a private island and were temporarily detained by security personnel disguised as savages. The other guys seem to be high school students here for some extra lessons on the deserted island…”

High school student?

The chemistry guy was a little dazed: "No wonder those words sounded so familiar."

"By the way, why did you suddenly collapse earlier?"

“Oh, I think I heard him say, ‘Your liking is self-entertainment, it’s about someone liking you, it’s a one-man show for yourself’…”

The chemist subconsciously recalled the events, muttering to himself, when suddenly his old injury flared up again, and he collapsed with a ferocious expression.

"Hey! Hang in there!"

"Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath now!"

"Live!"

The three men immediately tried to resuscitate him, but the chemist still appeared listless and struggling in pain.

The black-haired man frowned and said, "Damn it! The water has all been confiscated, otherwise we could have saved him!"

"Speaking of which, how did the plan to make friends over water fail?" the blond man asked curiously. "You seem quite shocked..."

The black-haired man hesitated for a few seconds, then said with a heavy heart, "To put it simply, I've been caught red-handed with evidence of my crimes."

Evidence?

Question marks appeared above their heads, but before they could ask, the black-haired man put the chemist, who was probably beyond saving, aside and couldn't help but touch his throat: "Ah, I feel like drinking water..."

Upon hearing this, his two companions couldn't help but swallow hard. The purple-haired woman was somewhat better off, but the blond man shifted uncomfortably a few times, uttering the same sentiment: "Yeah, I really want some water..."

As the group was arguing, Yukino Yukinoshita walked over with a cold face, flanked by savages on either side.

"Baijun, I don't recall the plan being this outrageous. And Father, you actually went along with his nonsense? I really want Mother to see how disgraceful you are."

"I didn't cooperate! I was forced! This kid somehow fooled the others and they all joined forces to rebel!"

"Big brother, even though I'm the scapegoat, you can't use me like this! It was clearly your idea to make us highlight your masculine charm. If you don't believe me, go ask the others and see if you ordered them to dress up as savages for the welcome party."

"Well, you brat! You even forged an imperial edict?!"
