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

This world is getting more and more chaotic; even Lucky Star has appeared. Shouldn't Clannad give one too? After all, Hiiragi Kagami is here; shouldn't someone like Fujibayashi Kyou, who's similar to her, also appear?

Lucky Star and Clannad were both released in early 2004, and the two works have many similarities in character design.

The twin sisters Hiiragi Kagami and Hiiragi Tsukasa, and the sisters Fujibayashi Kyou and Fujibayashi Kyō, have similar personalities and even similar hair colors.

The protagonist, Izumi Konata, also has only one father, and her mother passed away when she was young, just like the male protagonist of Clannad.

Clannad was supposed to be released in 2002, but the release was delayed. It's likely that Lucky Star drew inspiration from its character designs.

But the stories are quite different. Clannad is a very healing and heartwarming story, full of touching moments, and is considered a masterpiece.

Lucky Star is much simpler; it's a funny everyday story, mainly about the female characters' daily lives, with a little bit of light yuri (lesbian) elements, but not much. After all, it's a story about girls, so it's normal to have such elements, but it's mostly about funny everyday life.

Gao Yumo originally planned to draw Lucky Star after the Clannad sale, but now he doesn't. After all, the real star is right next to him, so why should he draw anything?

"Is there something you need from Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka?" The two of them were feeling a little awkward just walking together, so Gao Yumo wanted to find something to talk about.

Actually, if he didn't say anything, Hiiragi Kagami would have spoken up. She also felt that walking like this was a bit awkward, so it was good that she had something to say now, at least it wasn't so awkward.

"Well, I don't know. I was also conscripted." Hiiragi Kagami shook his head.

"By the way, isn't Hiiragi the class monitor? I remember that, so it's normal that the teacher drafted him." Gao Yumo said knowingly. In his memory, Hiiragi was the class monitor in the first semester.

Hiiragi Kagami hadn't expected that boys from other classes would recognize her and know she was the class monitor. Did they like her? No, they probably just heard about it. If that guy Konata found out, he'd definitely use it to tease her. She couldn't let him know, otherwise he'd definitely say something like, "Kagami's finally remembered by a boy!"

As if on cue, a girl's voice came from behind them: "Xiao Jing, you're here! I've been looking for you for ages."

Konata Izumi makes her dazzling debut in episode 040. Did she hear what I just said? This is what Hiiragi Kagami wants to know most right now.

However, it seems that she didn't. Izumi Konata only glanced at Takayuki, realized she didn't recognize him, and then ignored him. Instead, she started chatting with Hiiragi Kagami, apparently because she hadn't brought her books and wanted to borrow them for the next class. The two weren't in the same class.

"Can't you check your bag properly?" Hiiragi Kagami complained, but still told her to wait a moment. She would take Gao Yumo to the teacher's office first, and then take her to get it later.

"Oh, okay." Izumi Konata nodded with a smile, then suddenly put on a strange expression, leaned close to Hiiragi Kagami's ear, and said in a voice that Takahata Suzuki could hear, "You said you were taking him to the teacher's office, but you were actually taking him on a date, right? Kagami finally has a boy who likes her?"

"I already said no, it was Hiratsuka-sensei who contacted her." Hiiragi Kagami said helplessly. Izumi Konata always managed to tease her a bit, and she was getting used to it.

"Tch, I thought Kagami had finally gotten noticed by the boys, but it turns out it's still business. Okay, I know your seat, I'll go get it myself, bye!" With that, Izumi Konata left, leaving Kagami there clenching her fists, but with nowhere to vent her frustration. One sentence was fine, but two sentences in a row, and even though she was used to it, she still couldn't stand it. Was it her problem that she wasn't popular with boys? Besides, she had a lot of male friends, okay? It's just that no one liked her.

However, she quickly calmed down and said to Gao Yumo, "Don't pay attention to her, she likes to joke, haha."

"It's okay, this is great between friends." How could Gao Yumo care? This is life, and playing around with friends is part of it.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go to Ms. Hiratsuka's place. Don't keep her waiting." Hiiragi Kagami quickly changed the subject; she didn't really want to talk about this with a classmate she had just met.

Gao Yumo nodded, and the two walked towards the office.

Chapter 119 How could you call your teacher Jing Ke'ai! (3rd update)

"Then Gao Yumo can go in by herself. I need to go check on that girl from earlier." Hiiragi Kagami led Gao Yumo to the door of Hiratsuka Shizuka's office and then said he was leaving.

Gao Yumo smiled and nodded: "Go on, she'll copy your homework later too."

"Very likely! I'm leaving now!" Hiiragi Kagami immediately realized that this was something Izumi Konata would do—secretly taking her homework to copy or something, she was absolutely capable of it!

Watching Hiiragi Kagami run away quickly, Gao Yumo smiled, and the office door was opened.

"What are you doing at the door? Come in, have you taken a fancy to someone else?" Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned against the office door and joked with Gao Yumo.

Gao Yumo smiled and shook her head: "I just really like this kind of friendship. This is the joy of high school."

"You talk like you're so old. Okay, come in, I have something to tell you." Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled Gao Yumo into the office. There weren't many teachers in the office at this time, but they all looked over when Gao Yumo came in.

The teachers knew far more about Gao Yumo than the students, and they were much clearer about his background. Unlike the students, many of them didn't believe in his background, since how could a rich young master like him attend a school like theirs? The teachers knew quite a bit, which is why no one wanted to teach Class 3 and Class 4. These two classes had Gao Yumo and Shinomiya Kaguya, the two most troublesome students. It wasn't that they were troublesome as individuals, but rather their status. The teachers didn't dare to try, and only someone like Hiratsuka Shizuka, who wasn't so concerned about such things, dared to teach them.

"What does Hiratsuka-sensei want with me?" Gao Yumo asked curiously. Since the start of the semester, he hadn't had much interaction with Hiratsuka-sensei, but he knew that Hiratsuka-sensei cared about him a lot.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just wanted to chat with the young master and ask him how he feels about the school. The principal specifically assigned me to keep a close eye on you and make sure you don't cause any trouble." Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke very directly, and based on her observation of Gao Yumo, this approach was actually more effective.

"Oh, I really like this school. The students are very nice, and the teachers are very nice too," Gao Yumo said with a smile. Hiratsuka Shizuka knew he was talking about her.

“Praising me won’t work. The real reason I called you here today is…” Hiratsuka Shizuka revealed her true purpose for finding Gao Yumo. She sat down, crossed her legs, and pointed at Gao Yumo, “You’re not in a club at school, are you? Why? I need to find out. Clubs are very important.”

"Ms. Hiratsuka is a life guidance teacher, so I understand why she asked this. I originally planned to start my own club."

"Then why not? I checked and found that you created a club in middle school. Although you were the only one in it for three years, I can understand why it wasn't disbanded, since it was you. But is that why you didn't recreate the club when you went to high school? Based on my understanding of you, that shouldn't be the case."

"Have you even investigated my middle school club affairs, Ms. Hiratsuka? What a responsible and wonderful teacher!" Gao Yumo complimented Hiratsuka with a smile.

"Everyone says praising me is useless. Do you not want to join the club?" Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes at him, but still wanted to find out.

"Okay, the truth is my club has changed from a school club to a social club, and our club's game will be ready next month." Gao Yumo still told her about his situation, otherwise, given how responsible Hiratsuka Shizuka was, she would definitely have forced him into some club.

"A formal club or organization in that kind of society?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was a little unsure, but she felt that the young master in front of her was capable of doing such a thing.

"Yes, that's it. And my members are all very talented people in the industry, so it's not just for fun. Next month, Ms. Hiratsuka will be able to see our work. Also, the members in my club are all around my age. Isn't that amazing?" Gao Yumo continued to talk about her club, but she didn't say who they were. After all, most of them were actually from her school. She was afraid that Hiratsuka would bother them. Although Hiratsuka probably wouldn't, what if she did?

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded. For this young master, those things were definitely achievable. As for whether it was just a game or not, since he said that the results would be available next month, then let's wait and see.

"If you don't produce the work you mentioned next month, I'll definitely put you into the club I originally wanted you to join," Hiratsuka Shizuka warned. Gao Yumo understood her thoughts. She was afraid that if Gao Yumo didn't join the club, she would miss out on a part of high school life. She genuinely wanted to help Gao Yumo, and no matter the reason, the result would be good for Gao Yumo.

"Of course I'll let you see it, Ms. Hiratsuka. By the way, does Ms. Hiratsuka usually like action-packed manga?" Gao Yumo nodded first, assuring Hiratsuka that he had always had a good impression of her. She was the kind of teacher who was very responsible to all her students. Such a teacher would be liked by students no matter where she was. Of course, if she weren't so violent, even more students might like her.

"Yes, how did you know?" Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in confusion. How did Gao Yumo know such a thing? Could it be...?

"Just guessing!" Gao Yumo said before she could let her thoughts wander. Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes, but stopped guessing. Let him be the one who guessed; knowing anything wouldn't do her any good.

"So? Why are you asking this?"

"Have you read Weekly Shonen Jump? There are four super awesome shonen manga in it." Gao Yumo started promoting her manga.

"Of course I've read them. To be honest, after reading those four books, the others didn't seem as good. The plot design wasn't as good as those books, and the illustrations weren't as good either." Hiratsuka Shizuka thought that Gao Yumo just wanted to chat with her. She didn't mind chatting with students to build rapport, so she said with great interest.

"I have a surprise for you, do you want to know?" Gao Yumo glanced at the teachers around her and, finding that no one was paying attention to the two of them, whispered.

"What?" Hiratsuka Shizuya became curious. So mysterious?

"The authors of those four comics are all in my club!" Gao Yumo whispered in Hiratsuka Shizuka's ear. What he said was indeed true, after all, he was the author and he was indeed in the club, so there was no problem with it.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Gao Yumo in surprise, almost exclaiming out loud. But thinking of Gao Yumo's expression of not wanting others to know, she held back. Telling her didn't mean she wanted everyone to know, but her surprise was no less, as could be seen from her wide-open mouth.

As for whether to believe it or not? To be honest, she believed it. Gao Yumo had no reason to lie to her like this; it was an easy lie to expose. He was probably just trying to increase the credibility of his game next month. After all, she hadn't quite believed it before, but now she was starting to believe it.

"Do you believe me?" Gao Yumo asked with a smile. Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at his expression, raised an eyebrow, and clenched her fist at him, meaning that she would hit him if he didn't tell her. Although Gao Yumo was not afraid, he still cooperated and took a step back, pretending to be scared. He had a good feeling about Hiratsuka Shizuka, so he didn't mind playing along with her.

“Really?” Gao Yumo emphasized, and what he said was indeed true.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded: "I'll believe you then. If it's true, then please tell them that I really like their work. By the way, you said that everyone in your club is about your age. I didn't expect those four manga artists to be so young. They're so talented."

She remarked with admiration that Gao Yumo was quite impressive. Although she might have been recruited with money, her achievements suggested she wasn't just dabbling. She was still looking forward to the works Gao Yumo would be discussing next month.

"I'll pass it on for you, Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka. Do you need me to get your autograph again?" Gao Yumo's smiling face held a hint of mischievousness, but Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't realize that what she needed to convey had already been done. Gao Yumo had already told her, hehe.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was somewhat tempted, but she shook her head: "Never mind, it would be too much trouble for you."

"No trouble at all. I'll bring you the autograph tomorrow. It's settled then."

Since Gao Yumo had said so, Hiratsuka Shizuya had no choice but to agree. Since Gao Yumo thought it wouldn't be troublesome, she would just ask for an autograph. She really liked those four comics, and four autographs at once would be nice. It was one of her few hobbies.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going?" Gao Yumo asked finally. Hiratsuka Shizuka waved to him, indicating that it was fine with her.

"Then I'm leaving, Jingke." Gao Yumo finished speaking and ran away, leaving Hiratsuka Jing standing there in a daze. By the time she realized what was happening, Gao Yumo had already disappeared.

"You wretched brat! How dare you use such a strange name." She already wanted to take some kind of revenge on Gao Yumo that only a teacher could do. Double the homework was too low-level. What she wanted was a precise revenge on the student, something that the student disliked the most. And it was obvious that Gao Yumo disliked it. Hmph, let you call me that.

The other teachers in the office glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka. Gao Yumo hadn't kept her voice down at all; everyone in the office had heard the last part. They hadn't expected Hiratsuka Shizuka to be so popular with the students. What was that nickname all about? It was rather cute.

Feeling embarrassed by being watched by her colleagues, Hiratsuka Shizuka's desire for revenge against Gao Yumo intensified.

Gao Yumo guessed that Hiratsuka Shizuka would dislike being called that for the first time, which was normal. But he just wanted to be exciting. He could guess what the revenge would be. That was the effect he wanted. Everything was going according to plan!

("Seeking flowers", "Seeking tips", "Seeking favorites", "Seeking monthly tickets").

Chapter 120: The official release of the comic! (1st update)

As soon as Gao Yumo returned to the classroom, Eriri came over to ask what happened, and Kato Megumi, who was in front of her, also came over to want to know what was wrong.

"It's nothing, it's just that Ms. Hiratsuka asked me to do something," Gao Yumo explained. They nodded in understanding and didn't say anything more before returning to their seats.

Time flew by and school was over. Gabriel was listless all day, but she hadn't slept in class. Last night, Winette had slept in her room with her. Gabriel hadn't expected that after being spared by Gao Yumo, she would end up sleeping with Winette again. Winette was no longer as indulgent as before and was much stricter with her!

"Is there anything going on today? If not, we'll head back to work," Eriri asked Takayuki.

"No." Gao Yumo shook her head.

“Okay, then let’s go back first, Megumi.” Eriri said to Kato Megumi. Gao Yumo was taken aback, then smiled. The reason for her smile was simple: Eriri had begun to notice Kato Megumi. She herself didn’t seem to have noticed this, after all, it was indeed a gradual process.

Judging from this, Hui should be able to find out by the girls at home now. They'll know whether this matter works or not once she gets home, which is a success in itself.

"Okay." Kato Megumi nodded, said goodbye to Gao Yumo, and left with Eriri. Of course, she noticed it herself and was very happy, but her expression remained unchanged.

The two left, and Gabriel was also pulled home by Vinai173. Gao Yumo has been walking home alone after school recently. After all, there is no need to walk together. Anyway, we are all going home, and we live together. Of course, if a girl wants to walk with him, he is happy to accompany her.

He had just stepped out of the classroom when a girl rushed towards him and bumped into him.

Last time, Nanami almost bumped into her, but this time she was really hit. Gao Yumo didn't move at all, but the girl fell to the ground.

"Ouch, I'm so sorry!" After realizing she had bumped into someone, she ignored the pain in her bottom, quickly got up from the ground, and bowed to Gao Yumo to apologize.

The girl had short purple hair and a face exactly like Hiiragi Kagami's, except that her eyes looked gentler. She was Hiiragi Kagami's twin sister. What a coincidence that I ran into the two sisters on the same day, and the encounter was so dramatic.

"It's alright. Is there something urgent? Even if there are fewer students after school, you still need to watch your step when you're running in the hallway." Gao Yumo smiled, not seeming to care much.

"By the way, are you hurt? Did you fall and hurt a lot? The ground is quite hard." He asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm fine, um, I..." She wanted to say something, but she was too flustered to speak, and her hands were trembling nervously.

"Do you have something to do? Go on." Gao Yumo stepped aside to let her pass, so she wouldn't bump into him and fall again. "Be careful when you run."

"Mmm." She nodded hurriedly and ran away, glancing back at Gao Yumo as she ran, as if to confirm whether he had really let her go. This girl's personality was completely different from her sister's.

Gao Yumo watched her retreating figure and muttered to herself, "I hope she doesn't bump into someone again. She doesn't even look ahead when she runs."

He had barely finished speaking when two cries of "Ah!" came from the other side. He looked over and saw that she had bumped into someone again. It would be strange if she hadn't bumped into someone after what she had just done.

But was it Sakura who got hit? It seems so. Gao Yumo quickly ran over and helped them both up.

He first asked Sakura with concern, "Are you alright? Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, brother, it's just a little pain." Sakura shook her head and looked at Hiiragi Tsukasa, while Takahashi also looked at her.

Hiiragi Tsukasa is in a panic right now. He just bumped into someone, and now he's bumped into someone else. How embarrassing!

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" she quickly bowed and apologized.

However, Sakura quickly helped her up and said, "Tsukasa, it's okay, I'm fine."

"Ah, it's Sakura. I'm sorry I bumped into you." Only then did Hiiragi realize who he had bumped into—his sister's classmate.

"You two know each other? That makes sense, her sister is in the same class as you, right?" Gao Yumo was taken aback at first, then realized why. Sakura and Hiiragi Kagami were classmates, so it was normal for her to know Hiiragi Tsukasa.

"Yes, okay, Tsukasa, are you running so fast to find Kagami?" Sakura asked Tsukasa.

"Yeah, we were supposed to go home together today, but I got called away by the teacher. I wanted to come back as soon as I was done because I was worried my sister would be waiting." Hiiragi Tsukasa nodded awkwardly. She hadn't expected to bump into a brother and sister. She was really something else, making her doubly embarrassed.

"So you bumped into someone?" Hiiragi Kagami heard the commotion and quickly came over. She had heard what was just said and felt it was a bit strange. She had just met Gao Yumo today, and her sister had bumped into him this afternoon, and even bumped into Gao Yumo's sister.

"My sister is a bit careless and bumped into you. I'm so sorry." Hiiragi Kagami led Hiiragi Tsukasa in bowing deeply to Takayuki and Sakura. As the older sister, she felt it was her duty to help her sister solve the problem.

"It's alright, Xiao Jing." Xiao Ying quickly waved her hand, and Gao Yu Mo also waved his hand indifferently. Xiao Ying had forgiven him and that was fine; he didn't care anyway.

"Shall we leave now? We have urgent business to attend to." Hiiragi Kagami asked uncertainly. She needed to take Hiiragi Tsukasa away quickly; she still had things to do today.

"Goodbye, Kagami. Go quickly if you have something to do." Sakura waved to them and watched them leave before looking at her brother.

"Shall we go home together, brother?" she asked.

"Okay." Gao Yumo nodded with a smile. It had indeed been a long time since the two of them had gone home alone together.

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye, and today was a very important day for Gao Yumo. It was the day his two new comics were published in Weekly Comic Book. To be honest, he didn't feel this way when his previous four comics were published in Shonen Jump.

It might be related to the fact that there weren't so many people at home when I was drawing those four books; without a lively atmosphere, I wouldn't be in the mood for so much.

Anyway, the whole family came out today, even Izumi Sagiri went out. Of course, the way she went out was by holding a tablet in her arms and making a video call to her. For Sagiri, that was all she could do. Stepping out of her room was already her limit.

Of course, so many of them couldn't walk together. If more than ten people walked together, all of them beautiful girls, and Gao Yumo was the only boy, he would be stared at relentlessly. The girls didn't really like that either.

They divided themselves into groups, and I don't know what method they used, but in the end, Eriri and Shiha, along with Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, were the ones who left with Gao Yumo.

Even so, they still attracted the attention of people on the street. After all, they were a handsome boy and a beautiful girl, and a group of one boy and four girls. The boys on the street looked at Gao Yumo with envy.

"You're here so early? I haven't gone out this early on weekends in ages." This is what Eriri, who's a bit of a homebody, said. Aren't Saturdays and Sundays supposed to be her days for drawing at home?

"Do you usually go out?" Shiyu glanced at her and casually retorted. Since they were outside, Eriri didn't bother with her and ignored Shiyu's question.
