Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

Although Ai Haibara was very uncomfortable with this action, she could sense that Gao Yumo had no ill intentions at all. She was very sensitive to malice, but Gao Yumo had no malice at all, and neither did Yang Kui. They only showed concern and care.

She now believed that she might have really been found by a kind person and was truly safe. After finishing a bowl of noodles, she felt much more relaxed. She looked at the comic book that Gao Yumo was holding and placed in a suitable position for her to view, thinking that this boy was really thoughtful.

Is this really a heartwarming and funny comic? I thought it would be an action manga or a shonen manga, but it's actually a more mainstream type of comic? Does it have any romance elements?

As Ai Haibara watched, she thought to herself, "It's quite good." Her mood relaxed considerably, and the tension she felt before disappeared.

Once she relaxed, all the accumulated pressure from being locked up, hearing about her sister's death, her determination to take poison, and her worries about escaping was released at once, and she fell asleep immediately, collapsing into Gao Yumo's arms.

Yang Kui, who was eating noodles nearby, immediately noticed. She put her bowl down and gently tried to take Haibara Ai from Gao Yumo's arms, but Gao Yumo stopped her...

"You finish eating first, let me hold you for a while," Gao Yumo said softly.

"Okay." Yang Kui was a little disappointed, but she knew that Xiao Mo also wanted to hug Xiao Ai. After all, Xiao Ai was so cute, who wouldn't want to hug her more!

She picked up the noodles and continued eating; she was indeed quite hungry.

"So, does this batch of noodles have any special benefits?" she suddenly asked curiously.

“Yes, you should be able to feel it, right?” Gao Yumo nodded. He discovered that the special ability he gained after breaking through in his cooking skills was temporarily called “Buff.” This Buff ability was much more convenient than infusion. When infusion, one had to think about the story, emotions, and feelings to be infused, but with this Buff, one only needed to use it, and the Buff obtained was completely random.

Of course, control should be possible, but Gao Yumo hasn't figured out how to control the desired buffs yet, since she just acquired this ability.

So what was the boost from these three bowls of noodles? It was mental strength. Gao Yumo felt her mind was much clearer, and Ai Haibara must have fallen asleep for the same reason. Because of the sudden boost in mental strength, she relaxed and fell asleep immediately.

Yang Kui nodded: "I feel like my mind is much clearer. Some things I couldn't understand before suddenly become clear. What kind of enhancement is this?"

"Mental strength is about making your mind clearer and more agile," Gao Yumo explained to her. Of course, if someone had mental strength abilities, the benefits would be much greater than that, but Yang Kui didn't, so he didn't elaborate.

If it's Chestnut, many of her superpowers are related to mental strength, which would greatly enhance her abilities, since her mental strength is already terrifying.

"That's great." Yang Kui nodded. "If I had something this good at work, it would be so much more convenient! Some tasks wouldn't require so much brainpower."

"Then I'll try to figure out how to consistently increase the buffs on food. Maybe I can try it on other skills, like clothes." Gao Yumo suddenly thought of this.

"Clothes? Wearing clothes gives you a buff? Isn't that just like equipment in a game?" Yang Kui thought to herself, "That would be even more convenient!"

"Indeed, it would be great if you could wear something that boosts your mental and physical strength when you're working, and something that boosts your recovery speed when you're resting."

"Yes, that's great! Xiao Mo, do your best to finish it! I'm so looking forward to it, I really want it~" Yang Kui said to Gao Yumo in a coquettish tone. It was clear that although she didn't tell Gao Yumo about her work, she was actually working really hard.

"I will." Gao Yumo nodded. Of course he would do his best for Yang Kui.

"Alright, it's late, let's go to sleep." Yang Kui nodded. She was looking forward to it, but now was not the time to talk about it. Haibara Ai was asleep, and the two of them couldn't talk loudly, so it would be difficult to have a conversation. They might as well just go to sleep.

"Okay." Gao Yumo first placed Haibara Ai in the middle of the bed, then walked to the other side of the bed and got on. Yang Kui also carefully climbed onto the bed, afraid of waking Haibara Ai.

Good evening, Xiao Mo.

"Good evening, my dearest Yang Kui. I have to go to school tomorrow, so I'm leaving Ai in your care at home."

"Leave it to me."

Chapter 243 Adopting Ai Haibara! (3rd update)

Ai Haibara woke up from her sleep and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling. Still half asleep, she couldn't recall what had happened the night before. Startled, she sat up abruptly. Where was she?

Her movements naturally woke up Gao Yumo and Yang Kui, who were also asleep, and they both looked at her.

"Xiao Ai, what's wrong?" Yang Kui asked groggily, sitting up, rubbing her head, and pulling her into her arms. "Did you have a nightmare?"

Ai Haibara finally realized that she was safe. This was no longer where she used to live, nor was it the Black Organization's laboratory. She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded weakly in response to Yang Kui's question. Those things were nightmares for her.

"You must have had a nightmare. It's okay, we're all here." Gao Yumo said, patting Ai Haibara's head, while Yang Kui hugged her even tighter.

“That’s right, we’re all here, you don’t need to be afraid of anything.”

"Mmm!" Ai Haibara was held by Aoi, feeling her warmth, and relaxed again, falling asleep. This time she would sleep peacefully.

When Ai Haibara woke up again, it was when she sensed the person next to her move. She immediately opened her eyes, showing a very high level of alertness.

"Um, did I disturb you? It's okay, I got up to make breakfast. You and Yang Kui can continue sleeping. I'll wake you up when I'm done." Gao Yumo noticed that he had woken Haibara Ai up, so he patted her head and comforted her.

"Mmm." Ai Haibara nodded as she listened to Gao Yumo's words. She felt very safe and secure when she was with him, and she was even more at ease being held in her older sister's arms. She closed her eyes again and fell asleep. She was really tired and hadn't rested much these past few days.

Gao Yumo smiled, kissed Yang Kui on the forehead, and left the room to cook. Yang Kui was not woken up at all, probably because she trusted him completely and didn't have much of a sense of vigilance.

"Brother, you got up so early today." When Xiaoying arrived at the kitchen, Gao Yumo had already steamed several trays of buns. Xiaoying calculated the time; it must have taken at least half an hour.

Gao Yumo smiled. Actually, he had used the Time Torrent Pocket Watch slightly, accelerating time by dozens of times, so not much time had passed. However, he could only use it secretly for now. He could use it openly after he told the girls.

"It smells delicious, doesn't it?" Gao Yumo picked up a freshly steamed bun, still warm, and placed it in Xiaoying's hand. "Have one first."

"Then I won't be polite." Sakura took it, blew on it, and took a bite. "Delicious! Is this pork with glass noodles?"

"Mmm, pork and vermicelli buns, what a satisfying breakfast!" Gao Yumo smiled and continued his work. He loved making these traditional dishes; they were so delicious!

The breakfast at Gao Yu's house is basically different every morning, depending on what Gao Yumo thinks of and what she makes. She alternates between Chinese and Western breakfasts, and occasionally she'll have some breakfasts from this country. Although Gao Yumo isn't used to the food, she can still eat some without any problem.

Today's breakfast is a very traditional combination of steamed buns and porridge. I think many people have this for breakfast, right? It's convenient, filling, and not too complicated to make.

"It smells so good!" Umaru exclaimed, smelling the aroma wafting from the room.

One by one, the girls got up and went downstairs, already waiting in the restaurant. Gao Yumo and Xiaoying were making lunch boxes for everyone, something Gao Yumo prepared every morning.

He makes lunchboxes for dozens of people, whether they are students or working professionals, but Gao Yumo is happy to make them for them. He finds joy in it and is always happy to see the happy expressions on the girls' faces as they eat his food.

"Dinner will be served shortly." Gao Yumo and the girls who helped had already prepared all the bento boxes. They could just take their own when they went out. Each person had their own box with their name written on it.

He was wiping his hands with a towel when he said to the girls, "If you're hungry, eat first. It's okay. I'll go upstairs and call Yang Kui down."

After saying that, he went upstairs. He didn't mention Ai Haibara's matter, treating it as a surprise. However, it also depended on Yang Kui and his cooperation. He wanted to see if they could tell a lie that could fool the girls without any prior communication.

After all, apart from Sakura, Gao Yumo doesn't plan to tell the others about Ai Haibara's background yet. He plans to show the girls the Minecraft part on the third basement floor first, which is different from the order in which Yang Kui reveals it.

The girls didn't start eating early, and it wouldn't take long for Gao Yumo to call Yang Kui down, so they could wait. Besides, it was Yang Kui. If it were any of the girls, they probably wouldn't wait, because if someone was late, the others wouldn't have to wait, but not Yang Kui. It's a very simple reason.

"Get up." After Gao Yumo arrived, he quickly woke up Ai Haibara. She was still a little groggy sitting there, but she was awake. However, Yang Kui had been calling her for a long time but she still wouldn't wake up, or rather, she was pretending to be asleep, which Gao Yumo could tell.

"Alright, what do you want me to do to wake up?" Gao Yumo said helplessly. Mainly, Ai Haibara was right next to him, what could he do? Yang Kui was still half asleep.

Yang Kui quickly realized that she and Gao Yumo weren't the only ones there, and after regaining her senses, she got up quickly.

"Good morning, Xiao Mo." Yang Kui hugged Gao Yu Mo's waist by the bedside and leaned against him. Although she was already awake, she still wanted to act cute.

"Good morning." Gao Yumo patted her hair. "Get up quickly, the girls are all waiting downstairs."

"understood."

Ai Haibara had already gone to the bathroom to wash her face, but she couldn't brush her teeth without her toothbrush. Speaking of which, the bathroom actually had a place where a small child like her could stand. Was the design taken into account the possibility of having children in the future? It probably was.

Seeing how quickly Ai Haibara adapted, it has to be said that she is really amazing. Yang Kui also got up and went to the washroom to wash up with Ai Haibara. She took out a new toothbrush and wanted to help Ai Haibara brush her teeth. Ai Haibara could not resist Yang Kui's enthusiasm and maternal love.

"Wow! Where did this cute little girl come from, brother?" When Gao Yumo brought Yang Kui and Ai Haibara to the restaurant, the girls' eyes immediately focused on Ai Haibara, and Umaru excitedly asked.

Ai Haibara looked at the number of girls in the restaurant, and Umaru was calling Gao Yumo "brother." Were they all his sisters? There were just too many of them!

"I found it." Gao Yumo's answer was perfunctory, and the girls could tell from that, so they looked at Yang Kui.

Although Yang Kui had a gentle smile on her face, her answer was exactly the same as Gao Yumo's: "We found it. We found it when we went out for a walk last night."

"Okay." Yu Xi shook her head helplessly. Most of the girls felt the same way. Since Yang Kui had said so, it meant that either it was true or it was a secret that couldn't be told for the time being, so they couldn't pursue it. If it was just Gao Yu Mo who said it, they might ask a few more questions if they were really curious, and Gao Yu Mo would probably tell them.

"Alright, everyone's here, we can start eating now. By the way, let me introduce this young lady to you." Gao Yumo and Yang Kui took their seats.

Ai Haibara was held in Aoi's arms and sat on her lap. Ai Haibara was very happy. She and Aoi were really close now. Even though they had only spent a short time together, she felt that this older sister was like her own sister. She took care of her in a very meticulous way, and she even felt the feeling of a mother.

While eating and introducing themselves, the girls and Ai Haibara learned each other's names.

"Ai-chan, you're so cute."

"Yes, and judging from their appearance, they should be mixed race, right? Could it be that someone came here on vacation and lost the child?" Kaguya thought of a possibility. She really believed Yang Kui's story about finding a child, and it wasn't that no one would believe such a lie.

“No.” Yang Kui shook her head. The girls looked at her, but could only see Yang Kui’s smile.

“I’ve decided to adopt her. What do you all think?” Yang Kui said something that surprised the girls.

"Adopt? Shouldn't we avoid making a decision so soon without knowing if she's actually a lost child?" Kaguya was still agonizing over the matter, while Hayasaka Ai shook her head helplessly beside her. Did the young lady really believe such an obvious lie? It sounded like a hoax.

Why did Kaguya believe it? Of course, it was because Yang Kui said it. If it were just Gao Yumo who said it, she wouldn't believe it, but since Yang Kui also said it, she would believe it, after all, it was Yang Kui.

"Mom, are you going to adopt her as our little sister? I agree!" Umaru didn't believe it at all, but she didn't hesitate. When she heard her mother say she wanted to adopt her, she immediately agreed.

Gao Yumo's younger sisters looked at each other and then agreed, while the other girls remained silent, believing that saying nothing was the best course of action in such matters.

Kaguya, seeing that everyone had agreed, had no choice but to agree as well. Her only concern was that the child might be lost, but thinking about it, with Mo's abilities, if the child really was lost, he would probably find her family in a matter of minutes. What was she worried about?

Ai Haibara's face was now filled with surprise! What had she heard?

"Mother?"

"Hey." Yang Kui heard her call and responded with a smile, in a good mood, thinking that Xiao Ai couldn't wait to call her "Mom".

However, Ai Haibara was actually just surprised by the relationship between Takahata and Aoi. But she quickly calmed down. She had been prejudiced; she thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend last night, which was why she had that impression.

But if that's the kind of relationship, then what happened last night is also plausible and there's no problem; it was just that they got a little too intimate. But she doesn't have much of an impression of her own parents, so she doesn't know the specifics.

"It seems Ai has agreed, Yang Kui, that's great." Gao Yumo said from the side, but he actually saw what Ai Haibara's reaction meant just now, but he didn't expose it.

The girls, unaware of the cause and effect, couldn't possibly guess what was going on, while Yang Kui, immersed in the joy of having another adopted daughter, paid no attention.

Breakfast ended quickly in this atmosphere. Gao Yumo and the girls went to work or school, while Yang Kui took Haibara Ai to complete the adoption procedures. But before that, she needed to make a fake identity for her, which was very easy for Yang Kui.

Ai Haibara finally understood what kind of person had picked her up, and she also learned a lot of things, such as that she seemed to no longer be in the previous world. After leaving the Takaha family, she quickly discovered that many things were not right.

The key evidence was the Gao family, a large clan she had never heard of before. It was impossible for her not to know about such a large family. After eliminating all the impossible, what remained was the truth.

Ai Haibara considered many possibilities, and the final answer was that she was no longer in the previous world. Ai Haibara quickly accepted this setting. After all, as a scientist, she had a clear understanding of the concept of parallel worlds, and she could accept it completely.

She had no recollection of how she got here, but she completely relaxed. There were no dangerous black-clad organizations here, and she was completely safe!

After guessing what had happened, she didn't tell Yang Kui anything. She decided to bury the past and stop thinking about it for now. Perhaps being adopted would lead to a good life?

Chapter 244 Kokomi Teruhashi: Is Kurumizawa suffering from chuunibyou? (1st update)

"I wonder how Ai and her mother are doing at home, and whether Ai is getting used to it." On her way to school, Umaru chatted with other people, and it was clear that she really liked Ai Haibara, after all, she's so cute!

"Didn't Mom say she was going to adopt Ai? She should be taking her to complete the procedures today, and Ai's identity information also needs to be updated." Sakura answered her with a smile. Sakura was one of only two girls who knew how Ai came to be; the other was, of course, Kuriko.

Of course, she was just guessing and hadn't asked her brother yet, but it should be true. She and her brother should have the same origin, having been summoned to this world by her brother. However, they were probably not from the same world. She wondered when her brother would tell everyone about this.

"We have another little sister now!" Umaru smiled, she was especially happy, after all, having another little sister meant she could play games with her, how wonderful! But Umaru could only be disappointed, since Ai Haibara wasn't very interested in games.

Seeing their happy expressions, Gao Yumo considered whether to tell them Ai's identity. She didn't want to say too much, but at least she could tell them that Ai was a few years older than them. After thinking about it, she decided to wait and tell them all at once later.

"Study hard today," Gao Yumo said to Gabriel.

"Okay." Gabriel has already asked Winette for tutoring. After all, if she fails any exam or her grades drop, Gao Yumo will definitely be stricter with her. She doesn't want to lose this carefree life she's been enjoying these past few days. Gao Yumo hasn't been paying much attention to her playing games these past few days, and while Winette still supervises her, she's not as strict as before. Gabriel has been having a lot of fun these past few days.

But she also knew she couldn't go too far, so she was relatively self-reliant these past few days. She could play games, but not too much, so Gao Yumo and Winette wouldn't interfere too much.

"Gao Yu, why have you taken the past two days off? Are you sick?" Teruhashi Kokomi asked Gao Yu Mo.

Gao Yumo looked at the girl with stunning beauty. He really couldn't talk to her much before because he would involuntarily make "oh" sounds. Gao Yumo thought that was a bit awkward, and of course, there were other reasons as well.

But now that he has the experience of being with so many girls, plus the experience of spending so many days with Tsukuyomi, he is not as bad as before when facing Kokomi Shiohashi. He can just hold back from making strange noises like "oh ho". He probably has never made such a sound even once.

"Pretty much. I did go to the hospital on the first day, but yesterday I actually went to a concert with my family," Gao Yumo said with a smile. It was the complete truth, wasn't it? "Don't tell anyone that the reason I asked for leave yesterday was to go to the hospital again. It wouldn't be good if Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei found out."

"I understand, I won't tell anyone."

Kokomi Teruhashi's smile is very beautiful, and she always attracts a lot of attention. Right now, many people in the class are looking at her, regardless of gender; that's just how charming she is.

Several people were standing at the back door of the classroom, secretly watching her. They were probably students from other classes. Her fan club at school had been established just a few days after the start of the semester, which was quite exaggerated.

What's wrong with Gao Yu?! Why is he talking to me today? And so gently at that. Shouldn't he dislike me? What happened these past two days? Teruhashi Kokomi wondered to herself. Her thought process was actually quite peculiar, and her ability to win people over was extremely strong.

If Gao Yumo hadn't always known most of Teruhashi Kokomi's thoughts through Li Zi, he probably wouldn't have known that her feelings for him had reached a bizarre level, a level Gao Yumo had never imagined. How things had turned out this way was something Gao Yumo would never have guessed if he hadn't always known through Li Zi; her thought process was truly peculiar.

She had fallen for Gao Yumo in a rather unusual way, something Gao Yumo never expected. Because of this, he was even more at a loss for words when it came to talking to her. But things were different now; he was no longer the same as before! He had been completely transformed!

"By the way, is Teruhashi free after school today?" Gao Yumo asked her, having come up with a good idea.

"Yes, yes," Kokomi Teruhashi replied. "Is there something wrong?"

Bian thought to herself, "It's definitely different now. Her attitude towards me is completely different from before. Why is that? What happened? All my efforts were useless, and after just two days, things have inexplicably changed like this? Were any of her previous actions even effective?"

"Oh, I'm going to the hospital to visit a friend and I was thinking of inviting you to come with me. I just suddenly remembered, and I don't know if you'd like to." Of course, he was talking about Yui Yuigahama. He would go see her a day later. It was still a long way from her discharge, after all, it was a leg fracture, and as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone.

“Sure, I happen to be free today, I can go with you.” Teruhashi Kokomi nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Then it dawned on me: what if Gao Yu misunderstood something? Did she think I actually liked him? I only had a slight liking for him, it wasn't love at all, absolutely not.

It's just because he doesn't pay attention to me or say anything. I've only ever met one person like this in my life, so I have to use my charm to make him like me!
