Uneasy daily life

"In short, I have to find a way to give my child a complete romantic relationship, and I have to be careful not to let the stick figure take the opportunity to do something to him."

"?"

Angelina counted on her fingers, then squinted: "That white figure, we haven't been here long, and you seem to have already... you know... you know? Why are you suddenly so dignified? This isn't like your usual scumbag behavior!"

"You feed me every day, I'm so full."

Bai Ying adjusted his belt with a serious expression.

"W-What do you mean I'm providing meals!" Angelina blushed slightly, then immediately retorted, "It's clearly you who's being disrespectful! I was just forced to take the initiative a little!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I think that way, that's exactly what I think, it's all me thinking, not you thinking."

Bai Ying persisted, "Just like when you're thinking about naughty things, it's definitely not you who's thinking them, it's me who's thinking them..."

"Get out of here!"

Flying trapeze acts are also a common sight in the daily lives of college student couples living together.

Chapter Sixteen: The Beauty Trap

[A group without Bai Ying and Feng Binhua]

[Angelina: In conclusion! Bai Ying definitely has a little strategy book! He knows everything about who likes what, who's thinking, and who's planning, and he has a whole bunch of strategies for winning them over! This is pure cunning!]

[Yukinoshita: Indeed.]

[Sakurajima Mai: So this is how Kazuha's emotional journey went? She really is a stickler for feelings.]

[Yukinoshita: What else could it be? It can't be because you fell for that jerk, and Hana-chan used to always be watching you, so she unconsciously started to mistake the person you like for the person she likes, right?]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: My older sister's self-introduction was quite interesting.]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: No, no, no, this sounds more like Yukino-chan's self-introduction.]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: This isn't part of my envy of you.]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: Hmm~ No, wait, while Yukino's connection with that rascal is because of Yukino-chan, Yukino knew her own feelings long before Yukino-chan faced them. This process has nothing to do with Yukino-chan.]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: Really? I seem to remember that it was my older sister who was always causing trouble between me and Haku-kun, wasn't it? My sister, who is both protective and jealous, and who likes to lie to herself, her feelings unconsciously shifted while she was causing trouble, weren't they?]

[Sakurajima Mai: Alright, alright, I know your sisterly relationship is both strange and close. The hater is just a tool for your squabbles.]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: That's not true.]

[Yukino: Oh dear, I just remembered, if Hana-chan and I get messed up like that, then Yukino-chan will be all that's left, right?]

[Yukikinoshita Yukino:? 】

[Angelina: That's right! This is the goal of my new group! We need to stop Bai Ying's conquest plan, make sure his planned dates pass censorship, with no nighttime activities, allowing for the development of feelings but not physical intimacy! This is—the battle to protect Feng Bin and Hua's innocence!]

[Sakurajima Mai: ?]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: Senpai just wants to stir up trouble and watch the drama unfold.]

[Angelina: This is important! Today I'll give it to Yang, tomorrow to Mai, for two nights of peaceful sleep. I rise and look around, and the white figure is there again! But my girlfriends are limited, while my lust for beauty is insatiable; the more I offer, the more urgent the invasion. Therefore, without a fight, Hana Yuki is in grave danger!]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: Then I'll have to buy a high-definition camera to keep an eye on Yukino-chan's whereabouts for a while.]

[Yukikinoshita Yukino:? 】

[Sakurajima Mai: I've been quite busy with Hana lately, so it'll be difficult for me to find time to go on a date with the hater. It's best not to cause any trouble at this time. How about Yukino takes a leave of absence to cover for me?]

[Yukikinoshita Yukino:? 】

[Angelina: ? What?! Your virginity has started its countdown!]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: You're less concerned and more eager to watch the show!]

[Yukino Yukinoshita: Anyway, you're not allowed to interfere in what happens between me and Haku!]

Yukino Yukinoshita has left the group chat.

[Yukinoshita: Oh no! Yukino-chan is knocking on my door!]

[Yukinoshita: The culprit is Hei—]

[Yukinoshita Haruno left the group chat.]

Mai Sakurajima: They're so dramatic.

Angelina: Indeed.

[Sakurajima Mai: What are the haters planning to do?]

[Angelina: I don't know. Feng Bin must be pretty busy lately, right? He probably doesn't have time to deal with Bai Ying, but I really can't guess what Bai Ying is planning to do, so I can only keep an eye on him!]

[Sakurajima Mai: I see.]

Angelina disbanded the group chat.

……

……

In the afternoon, during club activities, Angelina entered the room carrying several light novels and found that Bai Ying hadn't arrived yet...

Two faces, filled with blood, tears, and pain, suddenly came close together.

"Deputy Minister!"

Before Angelina could even ask a question, the two were already shouting at the top of their lungs, "Does Shirakage have any dates planned lately?! Or is it with that Toyohama Kazuka?!"

“Yes,” Angelina replied casually.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!"

Two bursts of fighting spirit suddenly exploded before her eyes. Angelina shuddered, her hair flying wildly, feeling the terrifying power emanating from both forces—Stop! What manga plot am I thinking about?!

"Huh? How did you know?"

Angelina suddenly felt something was off. Wasn't this something Bai Ying had casually chatted about with her last night?

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place!" Nojima Gen, whose recent bout of pretentious intellectualism has flared up, exclaimed, "The bright blue sky will not tolerate any filth!"

"That's not important!" Shinichiro Yamamoto said bluntly. "What's important is taking down that guy who's planning to go on a date!"

"Oh."

Angelina gave a brief reply and sat down to read her novel...

"Speaking of which... Vice Minister!" Nojima suddenly appeared in a flash, "The Minister isn't even planning to ask you out on a date! That's outrageous!"

"Uh-huh……"

Angelina is immersed in the world of the novel.

"A fickle scumbag! A two-faced scoundrel! A worthless, disreputable man!"

Nojima Gen is making a great effort to use idioms.

"Yep……"

Tsk, either the male lead or the female lead is in heat right from the start. What's going on with light novels these days? Are readers tired of all the drawn-out stuff and just want something more direct, or are authors too lazy to write the drawn-out stuff and just going straight to the point?

Angelina put a lot of effort into criticizing the author.

"Vice Minister! Please go out with me!"

Nojima Gen confidently and profoundly lowered his head and reached out his hand.

"Pfft..."

What the heck?! Still using the "lucky pervert" trope these days? Is this author living in the past?... No, no, no, this kind of scene where the female lead trips up, spins sideways, knocks the male lead down, and then mounts him is already a comedic trope! Could this be the author's real intention?!

Angelina smiled, then suddenly remembered if she had heard something strange. She subconsciously looked up and saw a grayish-white Nojima Gen squatting in the corner, and a Yamamoto Shinichiro pointing at Nojima Gen and laughing wildly.

What's wrong?

"Nothing much, just an overconfident fool." Yamamoto Shinichiro adjusted his collar, pulled out a comb from somewhere, and ran it through his bangs. "Anshin'in, look, Shirokage already has another girlfriend. Why don't you consider other boyfriends? Like me..."

Angelina: "..."

Shinichiro Yamamoto poses.

"Uh, I think I said that, right? I didn't?" Angelina tilted her head in confusion. "The girls you met that day, including me, were all Bai Ying's girlfriends."

The activity room fell silent for a moment, then two even stronger bursts of fighting spirit erupted!

No—there were also two streams of fighting spirit that suddenly rushed in from outside the door!

boom!

The door suddenly opened, and Angelina instinctively looked over. Could it be a white figure...?

"Damn harem man! I, on behalf of Lala, will punish him with divine retribution!"

"Holy crap! I hear someone's death is imminent!"

"It's time to hunt down those scumbags!"

Kitahara Iori, Imamura Kohei, and Mitarai Yu make their dazzling debut!

Angelina leaned back slightly, feeling that the Aid and Service Department should be renamed—for example, the Scarlet Theater Izu University Branch or something.

Five boys stood together, their expressions serious, and the entire space was filled with a strong aura of scum.

That's right! Compared to not being happy myself, the happiness of others is the most glaring thing!

The group exchanged glances and reached a consensus!

"Everyone, I'll go first!"

Nojima Gen was the first to raise his hand and speak, and everyone praised him.

"As expected of Nojima, his mind is always full of schemes and tricks."

"Indeed, when it comes to being disgusting, you have to look to Nojima."

"I'm ashamed to have a friend like you."

"What a reliable scumbag."

Nojima Gen smiled confidently, swept his bangs back, and beamed: "Everyone, I'm famous now..."

……

"It seems like he's developed an immunity to lethal blows," Yu Mitarai said, spraying everyone with disinfectant. "What do you guys think is the best way to punish a scumbag?"

"It's tough." Kitahara Iori wiped the blood from her hands with a tissue. "That guy's fighting ability is terrifying, and he's extremely alert. He's also good at sweet talk and can easily incite infighting..."

Kohei Imamura nodded repeatedly and sighed, "Yes, you scum have absolutely no principles."

"But we should be united now!" Shinichiro Yamamoto slammed his fist on the table and roared. "Are you all just going to let that guy be so happy?!"

Kohei Imamura: "What if he introduces you to a girl?"

Shinichiro Yamamoto: "Then I can sell your bodies too."

……

Nojima Gen frowned, kicking the traitor's corpse aside: "At times like these, it's even more important to maintain the purity of the group! Anyone who ever deviates from the masses will suffer the same fate..."

Everyone nodded solemnly.

"Crunch! Huh?" Angelina had already started cracking sunflower seeds without anyone noticing. "Are you two swearing to stay single forever?"

Everyone: "..."

"NO Problem!" Kohei Imamura solemnly swore, "I will dedicate all my purity to the world of anime..."

"No, no, no!" Nojima Gen waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't lump me in with otaku like you!"

Angelina asked curiously, "But aren't you also a fan of voice actors?"

Imamura Kohei: "..."

The enthusiastic atmosphere was subtly interrupted once again, as Kitahara Iori waved his hand dismissively: "None of that matters. What matters is that Shiro is going on a date with a girl! Maybe it'll be an amusement park in the morning, a Western restaurant for lunch, a movie theater in the afternoon, and a love hotel tonight!"

"That's right! We must defeat him!"

"That wicked harem man!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"I will never allow such a person to attain happiness!"

The atmosphere became heated again, and even Shinichiro Yamamoto was resurrected due to jealousy.
