Uneasy daily life

"!!!"

You devil, you actually want to attack my sister?!

Hachiman Hikigaya was drenched in sweat, his mind racing with thoughts. He no longer cared about escaping safely! He had to at least retaliate, even if it meant dying, he wanted to splatter the guild master with blood and teeth!

Think carefully, think carefully, is there any weapon...?

Perhaps due to his intense focus, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly caught a glimpse of the conversation between the group of elementary school student extras.

"So the performance was improvised," one child said regretfully. "I was so scared of Gatanothor that I didn't run over according to the script..."

"Yes, when Gatanothor charged at us, we instinctively ran away as well."

"No, no, that's not Gatanothor, that's Gatanothor."

"Tsurumi is amazing! He just charged out right away!"

"Yeah, yeah! If I hadn't seen Tsurumi run away, I would still be standing there like an idiot!"

Rumi Tsurumi was subtly surrounded by other elementary school students.

Rumi Tsurumi seemed a little flustered and coughed lightly, saying, "N-nothing, just say what you think..."

"Tsurumi, where did you get that Ultraman Tiga lamp?"

“Oh, that thing was knocked away by White… Gatanothor before, and it landed on the stage. I happened to see it then.” Tsurumi Rumi thought for a moment and slowly said, “I picked it up and put it back on Tiga, and that was it.”

"Wow! That Gatanboa looks terrifying." The child said, still shaken. "Especially when it gets close, it feels like it's twice my height and so big—isn't Tsurumi afraid?"

"This one……"

Rumi Tsurumi thought about the scene back then, pursed her lips, feeling a rare bit embarrassed, yet also having a lot to say to others.

“I… really like Ultraman Tiga, so… I don’t want to see Ultraman Tiga lose—in front of Gijera, Daigo believed in humanity, believed in everyone, and in the end, humanity chose to defeat Gijera… But I think it was also because Tiga went to fight Gijera that humanity realized they could choose something else instead of Gijera…”

"The so-called belief is mutual trust. Tiga believes in humanity, and humanity believes in Tiga, so Tiga will never lose."

"Everyone's Ultraman Tiga will not lose."

Seeing that the others were still staring intently at her, Tsurumi Rumi quickly summarized, "That's it."

"Uh...what do you mean?"

"Can't understand."

"Does 'trust' mean mutual trust?"

Is it possible that, based on the plot development at the time, the white figure would actually kill Tiga with a single stab?

Rumi Tsurumi had a vague feeling that the plot's direction had been altered by her impulsive actions? Unfortunately, a bunch of idiots simply didn't understand...

"Wow! Anyway, Tsurumi is amazing!"

"Yes! Although Tiga was never going to lose, Tsurumi was super cool when he stopped Gatanothor!"

"Gatainbeer is terrifying, even more terrifying than Gatanothor."

The students chose the "cool and impressive" logic, hoping that they can quickly enrich their worldview when they enter junior high school; otherwise, they all have the potential to become eccentric and unconventional.

but……

Hearing her classmate's naive remark, Tsurumi Rumi couldn't help but smile: "Yes, Tiga is invincible."

As long as you still believe in the light, as long as you still have hope, as long as you still believe in Tiga, Tiga will never lose.

Hmm? Come to think of it, at the time, I was driven by a feeling of 'I don't believe Tiga will lose,' and impulsively stood in front of the white figure... My mind went blank; all I could think about was putting the flash back to Tiga and shouting that Tiga wouldn't lose. As for what the white figure said, I only half understood it...

So, according to the existing plot, the performance should be like this... wait, in this performance, the script is probably only part of the content, right?

My actions were definitely not in the script.

As Tsurumi pondered, she suddenly understood something and subconsciously looked at the white figure torturing the traitor.

Gatambark doesn't seem so scary, on the contrary...

That's right! That's exactly it! The script the minister originally told himself was to have himself beaten to ashes by Gatanbeer, to teach those kids a lesson, to let them know what it means to 'worship light ≠ you can become light', 'to regard Tiga as a god and idol is the emotion furthest from Tiga', 'foolish children who want to become light, do you have the courage to face the darkness?', to give them a full mental blow.

Then it ends with, "Delicious little friends, Uncle Gatenberg is about to dig in!" and he chases after the children...

It was the chairman who took the initiative to change the tragic ending!

The president ordered Angelina to use her superpowers to control this ending!

It was the chairman who had his character, Ultraman Tiga, defeat Gatanothor!

The president betrayed the story!

It was the guild master who killed Gatanbeau!

It's suicide!

"The president is really cute."

At the critical moment of life and death, Hachiman Hikigaya's words astonished everyone present!

"Hey~ Praising Komachi at a time like this won't do any good." The white figure smiled, not only in tone but also in expression, strikingly similar to Komachi. "Was that what Trash-chan said as her last words? That's a real shame..."

hiss!

As someone with exceptionally keen observation skills, Hachiman Hikigaya was quite proud of his abilities. He could accurately and effectively discern which people's expressions were feigned and guess their true intentions. In other words, he unconsciously observed and read people's expressions without attracting attention in a short period of time...

Now, Hachiman Hikigaya hates his own abilities.

Not only is the student council president now imitating, but also surpassing, Komachi in details such as tone, expression, and movements...

No! The president is imitating...

Bai Ying smiled with satisfaction: "However, I still have to praise Onii-chan. It made Komachi especially happy that he volunteered to perform on stage. I even want to cook him a big meal as a reward~"

It's Komachi from Hachiman's impression!

Oh no! The images of Komachi and the student council president are merging in my mind! They're launching a mental attack! Stop it!

“President! You’re so cute!” Hachiman Hikigaya immediately struggled to his feet. “Even if you’re trying to satirize idol worship for deviating from Tiga’s original meaning and want to give the kids a mental blow, and you’ve carefully crafted a tragic story for that purpose—it’s Tsurumi Rumi who made you change the script on your own initiative!”

"In order to protect the world of children, he was willing to abandon his long-standing tragic style of writing, yet he would not admit that he had voluntarily changed the script, acting as if he absolutely believed in his own script, and even held a traitor trial for this purpose..."

"President! You're so cute!"

So, can you handle this kind of psychological attack?!

Hachiman Hikigaya was confident that if someone said such a thing to him, he would be so ashamed that he would explode on the spot!

Bai Ying raised her hand and tapped her head, sticking out her tongue and acting cute, "Sigh~ Garbage-chan found out about this? I'm really sorry."

puff--! !

Hachiman Hikigaya clutched his chest. Damn it! I don't believe it! I don't believe that a battle fought with everything would be unrewarding! I don't believe that the guild master is immune to all poisons because he possesses all five poisons!

Bring it on, Minister! A self-destructing mental shockwave with a radius of twenty meters!

"I don't dislike the president's adorable qualities at all..."

"Is it is it?"

Shiroki excitedly hugged Hachiman Hikigaya's left hand, then shyly hesitated before saying, "Hey~ I also think Shiro-nii is really cute, Onii-chan, can you help me get closer to him?"

……

Hachiman Hikigaya died.

"A worthless opponent."

Bai Ying stared at the corpse and said coldly, "I'm just leaving the tragedy to them to write in their future lives, letting them experience firsthand how much courage it takes to become light. On stage, I'm just fulfilling my mission as an actor. Back in the day, there were plenty of people in the troupe who improvised and changed stories."

"No, I don't believe it..."

Hachiman Hikigaya struggled to revive a little, and forced himself to say, "If... if it were the chairman, he could have continued to defeat Tiga as Gatanothor... proving the insignificance of human power in the face of reality..."

"Foolish! That's practically me ruining my own story! How are you going to convince a 'Tiga will never lose' hero Mini through the story? I've given so many reasons that could easily break an adult, yet I can't convince a hero Mini who believes in Ultraman Tiga. Is that the hero Mini's problem? When a child overcomes fear and confusion and speaks out in the story, you insist on forcibly changing the story to your own liking..."

Bai Ying cast a disdainful glance, then added in a slangy tone: "Trash-chan, you're really going too far by using any means necessary to win."

puff--! ! !

Seize the opponent's weakness and deliver the final blow!

Hachiman Hikigaya is probably completely dead.

"Hmph, killed some more boring things... but the death toll isn't high enough for today."

As Bai Ying muttered to herself, she turned her gaze to her greatest threat: "And you! Not only did you tamper with the performance, but you also enacted such a vulgar scene in the story—"

"Hmm! Compared to Uncle Bai's script, the love story that Oreki and I performed was completely lacking in light!" Chitanda Eru said earnestly and apologetically after observing the conversation. "I'm sorry, Uncle Bai, I interfered with your performance by acting on my own. I'm still too weak in this area..."

"It's alright, you're not the culprit," Bai Ying comforted her earnestly. "Besides, acting skills can be improved with practice. If you're interested, I can teach you how to act and even write you a good script, aiming to make 'The Veil Stick Figure' surpass 'Hero Plus'..."

Chitanda Airu nodded seriously: "Then I'd like to act out a love story with Oreki-kun again. A post-apocalyptic couple seems like a great idea! Let's try to make up for this regret. Uncle Shiro, do you have any scripts... Huh? Uncle Shiro!"

Urging for more updates + My niece is going to act out a love story with my biggest nemesis!

The white figure was probably faking death.

"Tsk tsk, the biggest traitor is actually the one closest to you..."

Angelina happily ate the melon.

"This kind of plot development is quite common."

Chapter 88 Be Confident!

During the break before the formal ball began, Principal Zongwu and Principal Haibin strolled around the campus and chatted.

"As expected of Zongwu High School, it exudes a long history everywhere. In the field of inheriting and carrying forward traditional culture, our school is inferior."

Your General Military Academy has outdated facilities, backward teaching methods, and rigid thinking. It's likely to be crushed by the train of the times!

"You flatter me. Although your school has only been established for a short time, it has abundant capital and invests heavily in the field of education. With careful management, it will eventually achieve this state."

Your Seaside Comprehensive High School is nothing but a nouveau riche who spends money recklessly for a short time. If you want to have the status that General Affairs High School has now, you'd better work hard for a hundred years first!

"Thank you for the current principal's kind words. There is still a long way to go for Haibin. Although the destination is far away, the scenery along the way is no less beautiful."

The principal of Soubu High School raised an eyebrow and actually said that Soubu High School was already outdated. Haibin didn't even consider Soubu High School a match?!

"The former vice principal is absolutely right. The scenery along the way to education is indeed important. Haibin High School and Zongwu High School each have their own characteristics and cannot be generalized."

Principal Haibin's brow twitched. They actually brought up his past resume, mocking him by mentioning that he was once the vice principal of Zongwu High School!

New grudges and old scores, the more I want to see them, the more disgusted I become!

Principal Hai changed the subject, taking a step back for the moment: "The program organized by the students today was quite interesting."

"Indeed, both the opening and closing performances were impressive," Principal Zongwu nodded. "Although the relationships between the characters in the first performance were a bit confusing, it was an excellent dance performance. The last performance, while unconventional and somewhat clichéd, was well-crafted in terms of acting and props. The students were very focused and enthusiastic, which probably reflects a generational gap in their understanding. However, judging from the atmosphere, it was a great show."

Seeing that the other party had lowered their guard and revealed a flaw, Principal Haibin immediately replied, "You flatter me, you flatter me. These are just some of the ingenious ideas of our students."

The principal of Zongwu High School asked in surprise, "A student from Haibin? Who?"

"The closing program is a theatrical performance jointly presented by three parties, and I'm referring to the first stage play, of course." Principal Hai Bin avoided the trap he saw, his composure revealing a hint of pride. "The performances of the three students were quite wonderful, with unique dance designs and different styles that fit the background story, which is truly remarkable."

The principal of Zongwu High School clicked his tongue in amazement: "Students should have fewer interests and more studies."

Principal Haibin stood tall and straightened his back, smelling the pleasantly sour scent: "What era are we living in? We need to learn at any time, and we can learn at any time. But the deviation value can only confirm whether a student's performance reflects their academic performance. These three students were able to give an excellent performance. Does that mean they don't need to learn? I think they have learned very well."

The principal of Zongwu High School nodded slightly, neither confirming nor denying: "Perhaps."

Maybe? Wait a minute, why is this guy less aggressive?

Principal Haibin realized what was happening and became vaguely alert.

Tsk, have we been exposed?

"Ahem..." Principal Soubu High School coughed twice and smiled, "The deviation value not only reflects academic performance, but also a student's diligence, perseverance, courage, and other qualities in their studies. Shirayuki, Mai Sakurajima, and Kazuka Toyohama, these three students not only have special talents in their interests, but also have outstanding academic performance..."

Principal Haibin's eyes widened instantly: "Huh?! Are you trying to poach him? Do you know how much of a blow this would be to a student who has made friends? How serious the impact would be? How terrible the reaction would be? This is breaking the rules!"

“…You’re right, hmm.” Principal Soubu High School said casually, “Shirokage, Sakurajima Mai, and Toyohama Kazuka have been outstanding students of Soubu High School since ancient times. Other schools are not allowed to covet them, let alone try to snatch outstanding students. This would disrupt the admission regulations, and if we report it to the Ministry of Education, we will definitely suffer the consequences.”

"?"

Principal Haibin: "You're talking nonsense!"

"They're clearly outstanding students from our school, what do they have to do with your Zongwu High School?! You can make a fortune faster than robbing a bank!"

"Oh dear, it seems that you, as the principal, don't care much about the school. You can even mistake a student who isn't from your own school. It's shameful to be associated with you..."

Principal Zongwu, with his hands behind his back, casually glanced around and said, "Student Bai Ying is quite well-known in the school. You can ask any student if you don't believe me."
