Uneasy daily life

Yang Nai, in truth, we are all just a bunch of animals from birth...

The father, Yuki, tidied his words.

“This is what it means to have a keen eye for talent,” Yukinoshita’s mother said. “You should hone your observation skills, understand a person’s potential, and then lead them to success. That’s what makes you worthy of the Yukinoshita family name.”

Yukinoshita Haruno laughed and said, "Haha, I see, Mother."

...stomach ache.

Yukinoshita's father sighed helplessly. The great goddess loved to use righteous arguments too much, but where in life could one find righteous arguments?

Humans aren't computers; they can't just input commands and expect to get results automatically.

The only truth is that everyone will die. But you can't say it, because if you do, you'll die.

After a moment of motherly love and filial piety, Yukinoshita Haruno felt that the map was long enough, and said with a smile, "Mother, I need to ask for seven days off from university. Shizuka invited me to join Yukino-chan's school trip."

"Yukino..." Yukinoshita's mother hesitated slightly, and amidst Yukinoshita Haruno's suddenly quickened heartbeat, she casually asked, "Yukino said she made friends. Do you know anything about this?"

Ouch—Yukino, what are you doing, Yukino?! It's one thing to be a rascal, but to deliberately jump around in front of your mother? And claim you've made friends?!

Have you been suppressing your emotions too much, leading to self-destructive tendencies?

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Huh? Yukino-chan actually made a friend? Who is it?"

The goddess's tone and expression seemed a little strange? It felt like... she was hiding something!

The father's gaze sharpened beneath the snow.

“She said their names are Yuihama and Hikigaya,” Yukinoshita’s mother said with a smile. “They’re the two kids involved in the car accident when they started school.”

"Sigh—" Yukinoshita Haruno was a little surprised. "Is that so? That's really a good thing."

"Hmm, it seems the car accident didn't affect her too much," Yukinoshita's mother pondered. "Should we let Yukino go home to live? We could also let her invite her friends over."

A family dinner?! What are you thinking, my goddess?! Who was it that bewitched my goddess without my knowledge?!

The father's gaze deepened beneath the snow.

"Haha, maybe it's better not to? After all, it's a car accident, and Yukino-chan might be reluctant to ride in the family car," Yukinoshita Haruno tried her best to smooth things over. "Besides, it can also help Yukino develop her independent living skills..."

Yukinoshita's mother smiled, squinting her eyes, looking at her with a hint of confusion.

Come to think of it, Haruno seems to have a key to that apartment and regularly performs her weekly "surprise inspections of Yukino's life." Yesterday was the weekend, so Haruno had time to conduct a surprise inspection—in other words, she might have seen Shiro? Could it be... that she knew but didn't report it?

Yukinoshita maintained a cheerful smile, but cold sweat was pouring down her back.

Oh no, I shouldn't have been so quick to deny it, because from my mother's perspective, I should be on her side, a compass to guide Yukino! Not to mention, she's an older sister who should be jealous of Yukino's freedom to leave home, someone she can entrust with things concerning Yukino, and I can then take a slightly roundabout approach to protect Yukino.

Good heavens! There's something wrong with her persona! Her mother is starting to have doubts!

The father's gaze darkened beneath the snow.

The Middle Goddess is hiding something, but the Great Goddess seems to have seen through it, yet she hasn't immediately exerted pressure or reacted. In other words... the Great Goddess is watching the Middle Goddess's panic and making fun of her, while the Middle Goddess is covering up the Little Goddess's secret. And based on her own wisdom and deep thought, that secret is most likely the Little Goddess's friend! And this friend is probably no ordinary friend, is she? To deal with that kind of friend, a heavy blow is necessary!

You agree, right? Hachiman.

"That's true. I hope that as the daughter of the Yukinoshita family, she can overcome her difficulties and get through this soon. Otherwise, it would be too outrageous. As for taking leave, let her take it. It's a good opportunity for her to relax. Remember to keep an eye on Yukino during her school trip."

The true head of the household can casually make a statement, and the matter will be settled without a doubt.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely urge and supervise Yukino well, Mother."

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Hikigaya-kun—hehe—Hikigaya-kun—hehehe—Hikigaya Hachiman—hehehehe…Hachiman, hahahaha!

Under the snow, the father smiled, as if Maitreya Buddha had been reincarnated.

The atmosphere at home appeared to have become harmonious.

Knowing the truth but not reporting it, concealing it, is truly infuriating. Could it be that Haruno suddenly wanted to go on the school trip just to resolve the issue of Yukino and Shirakage living together before I 'discovered' it, thus keeping the whole thing a secret? Hmph, none of them have improved at all... However, instead of revealing the truth and scolding me here, perhaps I could try to 'accidentally' bump into them during the school trip.

Yukinoshita's mother gradually came to understand everything.

Phew, I managed to hide it, but it's hard to hide it completely. I have a feeling that my mother might have noticed something. But since Yukino used her other two friends to fool her mother, she'll use Hachiman and Yui to keep Hakukage hidden as much as possible—and she absolutely has to resolve the cohabitation issue during the school trip! And get some revenge while she's at it… Unfortunately, I'm curious about Hakukage's apparent knowledge of my mother, but it's not good to ask her directly, as it would give me away. I'll investigate from other angles.

Yukinoshita gradually came to understand everything.

Wow! Wow!! That's really impressive!! Building a friendly impression with the top goddess, cultivating goodwill with the bottom goddess, becoming friends, and then using the bottom goddess to manipulate the middle goddess for cover! I never imagined that shifty-eyed Hachiman-kun would have such wicked methods! Now he's friends with the bottom goddess, what does he want to be in the future? I can't even imagine! Looks like it's time for a king-to-king, general-to-general showdown, let me see what you're really made of! Let me show you what a son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family really is!

Yukinoshita's father gradually came to understand everything.

……

……

A-choo——!

Yukino Yukinoshita sneezed and glanced at the French windows of the balcony with a puzzled look. It wasn't even winter yet! Not to mention Knight was right there on her lap, very warm.

She closed her book, checked the time, and realized it was time to sleep, so she picked up the cat from her lap.

Phew, almost a week has passed safely, and my family hasn't found out. Once I get back from my school trip, this temporary cohabitation can end... Hmm? Has Bai Ying been looking at rentals lately? Should I ask her?

...Never mind, I won't ask.

Speaking of which, Bai Ying seemed to have bought some things in the afternoon. I remember he had scissors, cardboard and such. What exactly is he planning to do?

Yukino Yukinoshita carefully opened the door and glanced at the guest room diagonally across the corridor.

Light was still shining through the crack in the door... Hmm? Can I hear some voices?

"I decide where the first performance of my play will be held."

"Oh well, it's not like it's a formal performance by the troupe... Fine, fine, I'll find someone myself."

'Phantom, huh? I'll treat you to a vacation, let's go!'

'Hey, can you lend me a hand? Okay, okay, I'll do you a favor and do you a voiceover next time...'

Alert.jpg

I hugged the cat and went back to my room, gently closed the door, thought for a moment, and then locked it from the inside.

Yukino lay down on the bed and started to sleep, stroking the cat lying next to her pillow, hoping that there wouldn't be any problems with her being boarded at the pet store.

After all, we were going to a remote rural area, and Knight was just a kitten; he could easily die if we weren't careful.

What exactly is Bai Ying plotting?

Yukino Yukinoshita cannot understand this.

Chapter 84 It must have been Hikigaya who did it!

"A strong wind rises—the clouds fly high—"

"O vast ocean—the boundless waves—"

The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. Students are preparing to embark on their journey.

The melodious and uplifting opera singing drifted on the wind as a white figure, carrying a backpack, walked energetically toward the meeting point.

For a seven-day school trip, students naturally need to prepare changes of clothes. Of course, if you have enough thick skin, you can wear the same clothes for seven days—even the sloppiest boy wouldn't have such a thought, after all, it's a group trip. Girls, in particular, try their best to pick out the most suitable outfits from their wardrobes for the school trip.

During the school trip, there was no need to wear school uniforms all the time. In other words, it was a time to show everyone a completely new look. Even Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously wore casual clothes that were easy to move in and mingled with Yui Yuigahama, Hachiman Hikigaya, Eru Chitanda, and Houtarou Oreki.

Bai Ying was the only person present wearing a school uniform.

He was the only one wearing a school uniform, which made him stand out among the many students. He had a natural aura that attracted attention, truly demonstrating his understanding of the essence of contradiction.

"Stop singing nonsense and get back in line! Everyone, board the school bus in an orderly fashion! Don't crowd! Anyone who tries to push will sit with me!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka was still wearing a white coat, and she used a small megaphone to speak, her words carrying a strong sense of intimidation.

Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and grabbed Yui Yuigahama's hand, subtly moving forward, her pace slightly faster, overtaking the other chatting and laughing students to get on the bus.

My God! How terrifying! Hachiman Hikigaya reached out and pressed down on the sun hat that Komachi had given him, then lowered his head and followed the flow of people toward the car... Just looking at the captain's very full-figured backpack, which looked like that of a private school student and could be used as a flail or a gym equipment, he already felt a strong sense of threat!

"Uncle Bai! Uncle Bai—!"

Chitanda Eru waved energetically, then turned to look to the side: "Oreki-san... Huh? Where is he? Anshinin-san, have you seen Oreki-san?"

"I just saw him walk towards the school bus, let's go over there quickly!"

Angelina grabbed the still-unresponsive Chitanda Eru and quickly headed towards the school bus.

Hmph, you think you can hide forever? We have plenty of time to play games with you.

The white figure glanced disdainfully at the crowd, pinpointing a few figures who avoided him like the plague, and slowly followed the group to get on the bus.

When we boarded the train, most of the seats were already occupied, but that didn't matter—don't you think? My dear subordinate.

The white figure looked towards a row of seats in the back corner, where Hachiman Hikigaya was sitting on the inside, with the seat next to him empty.

Because he had no friends, he was avoided and disliked by others. Even though he boarded the train earlier than Hachiman Hikigaya, he was still alone.

Hikigaya Hachiman: "..."

Oh no, this is a miscalculation! But... but what can we do now? Are we supposed to just pull someone over to reserve a spot? I can't pull anyone over!

Could this all have been part of the minister's plan?!

Hachiman Hikigaya broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the white figure approach...

"Ah, sorry to bother you."

At this moment, Houtarou Oreki, who had not been able to find a seat in the back, returned, nodded casually, and sat down next to him, properly fastening his seatbelt.

Hachiman Hikigaya moved his lips and whispered, "From now on, we are half-brothers."

Houtarou Oreki glanced at his tired-looking eyes and said, "Next time, take a hit for me."

After all, that was Chitanda Eru's Uncle White. I always felt like I couldn't get rid of that shadow for three years of high school... It's only the first semester of my first year of high school, and I already feel like I'm burning out. It's too energy-consuming.

Is that person's energy production method nuclear fusion?

Hachiman Hikigaya sat up straight and mumbled, "See?"

"Hmm, I see. This is a case of brothers turning against each other." Oreki Houtarou closed his eyes to rest.

The white figure's gaze swept across the room, searching for an empty seat. Wherever his eyes passed, all fell silent. His intimidating presence was even stronger than if a teacher had come.

"Bai Ying, please sit here."

Hayato Hayama stood up from his seat, greeted him with a smile, and then sat down next to Shizuka Hiratsuka in the front row, carrying his schoolbag.

"Thanks, the theater will reserve a VIP seat for you."

The white-clad figure said something mysteriously and sat down in the vacated seat.

Hayato Hayama pondered... Could this be considered repaying kindness with enmity?

"Hayama, don't spoil him," Hiratsuka said leisurely. "Be careful he doesn't trick you into acting in a play one day."

Hayato Hayama smiled and said, "I'll be careful."

In the original seat.

Yumiko Miura's expression was stiff, her gaze fixed on the person next to her, as if she wanted to say something loudly, but hesitated to speak.

Why did Hayato give up his seat to this strange guy?

Miura Yumiko muttered to herself, then suddenly felt something was off. She twitched her lips and glared at the white figure beside her with disgust—after that day, she had an extremely deep impression of her own voice.

"I can only give your facial expressions a five out of ten." Bai Ying cheerfully shoved her bulging backpack into her arms. "Do you know why the ever-responsive True Lord gave me his seat?"

Miura Yumiko snorted coldly: "Of course it's because Hayato is kind-hearted. He's even willing to help a weirdo like you. Also, don't give Hayato weird nicknames!"

"How can you be so lacking in aggression?" Bai Ying shook her head and said, "If it were Yukinoshita, she would definitely answer me that 'caring for the disabled and vulnerable is a traditional virtue.'"

Miura Yumiko's eyes twitched, and she said in a dark tone, "You want to argue with me, don't you?"

Bai Ying added, "If it were Yukinoshita, she would have replied, 'Oh my, Shirai-kun actually has some self-awareness? Congratulations!'"

I f***

Yumiko Miura really wanted to yell out a Japanese swear word on the spot.

"You really do hate Yukinoshita."

Bai Ying was genuinely puzzled: "From what I've observed, you two seem to have a 'live and let live' relationship, disapproving of each other's behavior and ways of doing things, so you keep a certain distance from each other. Yukinoshita certainly does that, so it's a bit strange of you..."

Yumiko Miura retorted sarcastically, "How can I compare to you, you strange, famous drama fanatic?"

"I always feel that your dislike for Yukino is 10% due to incompatibility and 90% due to your personal, one-sided emotions."
