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

"Umaru, in the end we still had to rely on you. If you hadn't learned the Eight Gates, we might have been wiped out in the end." Yuki said, patting her chest with lingering fear. The last moment was really dangerous. If Umaru hadn't learned the Eight Gates and could even open up to the seventh gate, they might have been doomed.

"Hahaha, we know the plot perfectly well, of course we have a way to deal with it. With more than ten of us working together, a mid-stage boss in the manga is no problem at all! After all, we're experiencing a game setting, so learning ninjutsu and taijutsu is very easy." Umaru laughed heartily, clearly very satisfied with the final result. Her brother had told them that Pain was only a mid-stage boss in Naruto, and still a long way from the final boss!

"It's all thanks to Megumi who found Nagato in hiding and persuaded him, otherwise our previous victories in the war might have been meaningless," Gabriel said excitedly, looking at Megumi Kato. "As expected of Megumi, her stealth abilities are so strong even in the illusion. She's truly the most suitable person to be a ninja!"

"You flatter me." Kato Megumi nodded to Gabriel with a blank expression, but she was actually quite happy to be praised like that. "After all, as Umaru said, we all know the plot, so it's nothing for us to cooperate."

The girls chatted as they reviewed the final battle, after which they were released directly from the illusion.

For the first month or two, they did whatever they wanted. Later, Umaru gathered everyone together and they started discussing serious matters, namely how to defeat Pain. At first, they didn't actually plan to defeat him, since their characters were all ordinary characters and they thought they might not be able to beat him.

But as we continued to discuss it, we realized that it wasn't entirely without a chance.

In the end, it turned into an effort to defeat Pain. Fortunately, this time it was different from Ayano's first experience. She learned ninjutsu and taijutsu much faster. Otherwise, she might still have been treated as a grunt and killed in the end.

"By the way," Raphiel suddenly spoke after the girls had finished chatting, looking at Gao Yumo, "where were you, Mo-jun, during all the time we were training so hard, and during the final battle against Pain?"

The girls all looked at Gao Yumo. For the first time, Gao Yumo felt the girls' gazes were so oppressive, and she swallowed hard.

"And Kaguya-chan and Ai-chan too." Haruno moved closer to Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, putting her arms around their shoulders and smiling strangely. "You guys are with Mo-kun, right? Where did you go? Why weren't you there when we were working so hard?"

"You can see it on the friend system, right?" Kaguya wasn't nervous, at least not on the surface, and spoke calmly.

"You asked because you can't see them?" Haruno nuzzled Kaguya's face, and Kaguya dodged away uncomfortably. Haruno wasn't familiar with her yet, so she shouldn't be like that. Sure enough, she was angry because she hadn't seen them for almost two years.

Hayasaka Ai remained expressionless. The girls knew they wouldn't get anything out of her, so they focused their attention on Kaguya and Takahata. Everyone stared at them the same way, even the usually gentle Winette, because the three of them had indeed acted strangely this time.

Two years have passed since their first gathering. They couldn't find each other after that. If it weren't for the fact that the friends system showed they were still in the illusion, they would have thought the three of them had left the illusion.

However, the friend system cannot display the specific locations of the three of them. Everyone else can be displayed normally, but only the three of them cannot. It must be Gao Yumo who did it!

"Didn't you create this opportunity for Kaguya and me to be alone?" Gao Yumo tried to argue.

"But that's no reason for you and Kaguya to disappear so suddenly!" Sagiri moved closer to Takayuki, puffing out her cheeks and staring at her.

"So where did you guys go?" Sakura said, annoyed. "Do you know how hard we've worked? As our boyfriend, shouldn't you be someone we can rely on?"

"I'm sorry." Gao Yumo lowered his head. This time, it seemed he really had made a mistake. He stood up and solemnly apologized to the girls, "I'm sorry!"

The girls were taken aback for a moment, then they all dropped their dangerous expressions and burst into laughter, laughing very happily.

"As expected, we knew you would apologize to us after this performance, brother," Yuki said happily.

“We were just joking, how could we get angry over this?” Sakura said, and the others nodded in agreement.

“Defeating Pain doesn’t end the game immediately. We still have time to discuss things, so we came up with this prank. How about it? Were you scared by our prank?” Sagiri hugged Takayuki’s arm and laughed.

Gao Yumo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently.

"Yeah, I was startled."

"Hehehe." The girls laughed, a beautiful laugh; they had won this time!

"But there's one thing we're not kidding, and that is that we're genuinely curious about where you and Kaguya went," Eriri asked, arms crossed. They had indeed searched, but couldn't find you, so you must have left Konoha.

"Well," Gao Yumo scratched his head, then turned to look at Kaguya, "Can I say?"

"Say what you want to say," Kaguya said, turning her head away and blushing. The girls immediately began to speculate: had the opportunity they had created for Kaguya actually succeeded?

"Then I'll tell you. The three of us accepted a mission, an escort mission. I won't go into the unimportant details. The destination is another small village outside Konoha Village, and then..."

"And then you just stayed there and never came back?" Shi Yu guessed as soon as he said it. "Such a simple story."

Gao Yumo scratched his head. "Hahaha, right?"

"So why didn't you come back? You could at least have told us!" Umaru puffed out her cheeks; she was genuinely angry! After all, she wanted to see how her brother played! Her brother was so good at games, so good in real life, he must be amazing in this game too, right? But she didn't see him! Damn it! She'd been so excited! She thought her brother would make a grand entrance at the end!

"Well, it's about doing what you want to do. Isn't that what I told you at the beginning? Kaguya, Ai, and I all chose to do what we wanted to do, which is to experience a peaceful life just for the two of us."

"Okay, you're right, but you could have just created a new setting, something like a heartwarming slice-of-life story. But this is Naruto! Shouldn't it be more action-packed?" Ayano couldn't stand it anymore, slamming her hand on the table and standing up. "This is a desecration of a shonen manga!"

She always talks like this when it comes to comics; it's kind of an occupational hazard, isn't it?

"Kaguya doesn't like fighting and killing, so since I'm teamed up with her, of course I have to go along with her." Gao Yumo smiled gently, and the girls immediately stopped questioning him when they saw this smile. Sure enough, Gao Yumo was still the same old him; he was always so kind to everyone.

If they hadn't given the opportunity to Kaguya in the first place, but instead had teamed up with Gao Yumo instead, would Gao Yumo still have fulfilled their request? They understood that that kind of life was what Kaguya actually wanted—a peaceful life without fighting and killing, where she could simply live her daily life in peace. Gao Yumo was merely fulfilling Kaguya's wish.

"I should have competed from the beginning," Haruno said to Kaguya.

Kaguya blushed; the two years she spent with Gao Yumo were far from simple!

I've gotten used to it in the illusion, but even after I come out, the thought of it still makes me feel so shy!

"Oh, it seems Kaguya-chan is hiding something." Haruno looked at her expression and immediately guessed that something was going on, and it must be quite interesting.

This piqued the interest of the girls who had given up on asking questions, and they looked at Kaguya, while some also looked at Gao Yumo, since he must know as well.

"Mo, tell us." Zhenbai said calmly, as if Gao Yumo should tell her.

“Mashiro, you can’t say that directly,” Nanami quickly said.

"Isn't Nanami curious?" Mashiro looked at Nanami, tilting her head. "Not curious?"

"Curious," Nanami said shyly, blushing.

“Tell us.” Mashiro looked at Gao Yumo again and spoke once more.

Gao Yumo, seeing Zhenbai's innocent gaze, gave up and sighed, "Alright."

"Yay!" the girls exclaimed excitedly, all looking intently at Gao Yumo.

He briefly described his life with Kaguya for a while. Because it was a small village, there wasn't much entertainment or anything interesting to do. But neither Kaguya, Takayuki, nor Hayasaka Ai were the kind of people who would get bored because of such things.

Gao Yumo is good at finding interesting things, Kaguya can endure loneliness, and Hayasaka Ai is simply good at being patient.

The girls listened intently to the heartwarming, everyday stories that began with Gao Yumo, who was a very skilled storyteller.

Of course, he doesn't tell stories every day; he mainly tells stories he finds interesting.

Then, as the girls listened, they sensed something was wrong. Gao Yumo, Kaguya, and Hayasaka Ai were having more and more contact, and it sounded more and more like a lewd story to them.

As expected, the final step has been completed. Since it is an illusion, neither Kaguya nor Hayasaka Ai has any burdens in reality. Although their bodies in the illusion are exactly the same as their real bodies, they are not their real bodies. Even if they do something in the illusion, their bodies in reality are still intact, so there are not so many concerns!

Then the girls listened to Gao Yumo recount the incredibly detailed process, and their faces instantly turned red, even those who had experience before. This was because it was Gao Yumo who told the story, and in front of everyone, and in such detail, coupled with Gao Yumo's storytelling skills.

The girls even felt as if they had seen it with their own eyes!

Then the girls discovered that Gao Yumo's story had nothing else to do but those kinds of things, from the two separating to getting back together, to various positions. In any case, in the illusion, Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai were not so reserved.

Or let's talk about Kaguya specifically. She was a bit too uninhibited in the illusion. She was willing to try many things that Gao Yumo and the other girls had not. As long as Gao Yumo asked her to, she was willing to try. Although she would always say a few sarcastic and arrogant things, she never refused.

One of them is the one Yuki mentioned today! I didn't expect Kaguya to experience it before her. I'll ask Kaguya how it felt later? Did it hurt? Was it comfortable?

The girls listened in stunned silence, none of them remembering to ask Gao Yumo to stop. Gao Yumo, engrossed in his storytelling, showed no intention of stopping. In any case, the girls' relationship with him had already reached a point where they could take this step, so listening was just a preview.

The only ones who might still be reacting are Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai. They're both blushing and lying on the table. Even Hayasaka Ai, who's usually calm in her maid form, can't hold back anymore. How could she say something like that to someone's face?!

But they didn't stop Gao Yumo. After all, Gao Yumo seemed to be having a good time, so there was no need for them to disturb him. This was just something they were doing in a bad way. But they had done all sorts of things in the illusion, and Gao Yumo was already the image in their hearts. They even felt that they didn't have to be so conflicted in reality!

Specifically referring to Kaguya.

Chapter 189 With the arrival of vampires, is the steamroller far behind? (2 updates)

Gao Yumo smiled as she looked at the girls in the restaurant who had once again entered the illusion. After all, they had only eaten half of their double-skin milk pudding, and they didn't want to waste it. Besides, they hadn't had enough fun in the illusion yet.

Of course, Ayano took a new one, but this time she finished eating it before joining the illusion, just like before.

The two years in the illusion were not actually two years in terms of their mental state. Gao Yumo didn't know how the system managed to do it, but that was how it was.

Even if you spend two whole years in the illusion, once you come out of the illusion, those two years will just be a memory. You'll remember them clearly, but you won't feel like you've actually spent the year.

This is actually quite good. Otherwise, playing a fantasy game would make one's mental age much older, which wouldn't be good. This way, it's just a game to play, so it has both advantages and disadvantages.

Of course, Gao Yumo felt that it was possible to continue developing this aspect, meaning that it could be controlled, but most of the time it was best to leave it as it was.

The story was already over, and the girls' final reactions were quite amusing. When Gao Yumo looked at them after he finished telling the story, none of them dared to meet his gaze, because they already knew from Gao Yumo's story how powerful he was. Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai didn't refute it at all, which meant it was true!

The girls who had been with Gao Yumo realized that he was actually letting them have their way; he hadn't really enjoyed himself! They were too weak, they were sorry! But every night, they could only last until one or two in the morning before they couldn't go on anymore, and the time they could last was getting shorter and shorter. Shouldn't they be getting trained? But they weren't; the time they could last was actually getting shorter.

They hadn't understood before, but now they realized it: Gao Yumo was getting stronger and stronger! Was it really impossible for one person to completely defeat him? Did he usually force them to come out? Was that something he could control? Was he just trying to reassure them? The girls had many questions!

The girls' thoughts were all completely different, but they all understood one thing: Gao Yumo's desires were much greater than they had imagined!

They also began to understand why Gao Yumo had gathered so many people, because they were simply no match for each other individually!

Her thoughts wandered further and further away. Li Zi shared everything the girls were thinking with Gao Yu Mo. Although she was also very, very shy, she felt it was necessary for Gao Yu Mo to know these things.

"Do you think I can handle you?" Chestnut asked curiously.

This question immediately silenced Gao Yumo. Just when Li Zi was about to think that the connection between herself and Gao Yumo had been severed, Gao Yumo finally spoke.

You overestimate me and underestimate yourself. If the two of us come, we'll need to find a sturdy spot. You'll need to control yourself, though of course you won't be able to control yourself when things get exciting, which is why we need a sturdy spot. Otherwise, we'll be homeless, and I might get hurt.

Chestnut was taken aback, then realized that Gao Yumo was still just an ordinary person. If she did something with him now, it seemed very dangerous for him. After all, she wasn't sure if she could control herself in that situation.

Should we put our business aside for now?

So you really want to try it after hearing about it? Go ahead and try it. I have a creative mode, remember?

That makes sense. Chestnut suddenly realized, nodded, and said, "Let's do it soon then. I want to try it sometime."

Gao Yumo smiled. Could it be that Chestnut couldn't help herself either?

Or perhaps after hearing his detailed explanation and understanding his needs, coupled with the increased goodwill the girls had shown due to the previous double-skin milk incident, almost all of them were ready. It's likely that only a minority of the girls could resist, or perhaps none at all. Now, it's just a matter of not having enough time to divide things up, so let them arrange it themselves.

Back to the present, Gao Yumo thought about the next steps. After all, the girls had fallen into the illusion again. Even if the time it took to get out was shortened because they had adapted, they would still come out at the same time, so the time wouldn't be too short. They could go do what they wanted to do before.

This refers to visiting the neighbor I mentioned earlier. Of course, while we're called neighbors, our homes are actually quite far apart, even though we live in the same area. The walk isn't as far as to the school—less than ten minutes—but we could hardly be considered neighbors. However, this was the closest neighbor to Gao Yumo's house.

"This is my first visit, so let's prepare some gifts." Gao Yumo walked into the kitchen. The gifts she prepared should naturally be her best work, but considering the neighbor's special circumstances, it seemed that she didn't have any suitable ingredients at home.

"Then let's go buy groceries first." Gao Yumo turned and went out as soon as he thought of it. The girls were all in the illusion, so he really had to go by himself. Otherwise, he could ask Sister Nami to go buy groceries, since she was more professional at it.

"But the black-haired girl Hui mentioned running over this morning must be her, right? I don't know if I guessed wrong. I should have visited her before, but I never had the time. This time it's just the beginning for them, right?" Gao Yumo muttered to herself as she changed her shoes and headed out to the supermarket. This time the ingredients were special, so she didn't know if they would sell them.

"After traveling to many places, I finally managed to buy it." Gao Yumo looked at the bag in her hand and shook her head. "It was indeed hard to buy. Does this country not have many people who eat this? I'm starting to miss my hometown."

Looking up at the sky, I wonder when I'll go back home. I'll bring the girls from my family with me, and also my most precious daughter, Yang Kui.

Back home, the girls were still playing in the dream world. Gao Yumo smiled and walked into the kitchen to prepare the dishes for their visit to the neighbors.

"This is a dish I've never made before. I wonder if the neighbors will like it? But I guess the girls might not dare to try it?" Gao Yumo packed the cooked food into an insulated lunchbox, then packed the lunchbox, picked up the bag, and prepared to leave.

There are still plenty of ingredients left; he bought a lot. He'll try making it again tonight and see if the girls dare to try it. It's just that the ingredients aren't common, but it doesn't taste strange. It should be fine, since he made it.

Leaving home and heading towards the neighbor's house, I wonder if it will turn out as he imagines?

Looking at the Western-style mansion in front of him, it was indeed the one he had been thinking of!

"Isn't it closed?" The door at the entrance wasn't closed, and Gao Yumo thought for a moment before walking in.

Arriving at the entrance of the mansion, he knocked on the door, but there was no response. After a while, he heard footsteps approaching from inside.

"You're here. May I ask who you are?" A girl with short black hair opened the door, looked at the strange man at the door, and asked curiously. She didn't seem scared or anything because she suddenly saw a stranger at her door. I don't know if she was just carefree or if there was another reason.

“I’m your neighbor. My family said you just moved in, so I came to visit you.” Gao Yumo said, using carefully chosen words, and handed over the lunchbox in her hand. “This is a meal I made myself, please accept it.”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then took the lunchbox from Gao Yumo before she came to her senses.

“I just moved here, but there were people living here before.” Her voice suddenly softened when she mentioned people.

"Oh, I had no idea." This is a lie.

"Hey, who is it?" Just then, perhaps because the girl had been gone for a while and they were a little worried, another girl came over and asked curiously.

The girl who arrived was a girl with long, silver, silky hair, porcelain-like skin, slender legs, and a doll-like appearance. Gao Yumo immediately recognized her; it was indeed her!

"Oh, Sophie-chan, she's our neighbor, she's here to bring us food," the girl called Lantern said to the girl she called Sophie-chan who had just come out.

"Neighbors?" Sophie thought for a moment, then glanced at Gao Yumo before remembering, "Oh, they live in that big house over there, right? Why would they come to visit now?"

She was a little curious, after all, she had lived here for a long time.

"Maybe it's because I ran past their house today?" Deng said, scratching his head.

“That’s right. My family saw her running past our house with luggage. They thought she was a new resident because no one has lived in this area for a long time, which is why I wanted to come and visit her.” Gao Yumo nodded, indicating that she was right.

"Thank you for the meal, although I can't finish it." Sophie nodded in understanding and thanked Gao Yumo. She didn't refuse her neighbor's kindness; she could accept the meal and give it to Deng.

"Can't eat? Is it because you're picky about food? Or is it because of some illness? You should go to the hospital to see a doctor as soon as possible," Gao Yumo said, wanting Sophie to tell her the answer herself.

"Because Sophie is a vampire! So she can't eat anything other than blood." Before Sophie could say anything, the lamp said it first.

"Lights! Don't say that suddenly in front of strangers!" Sophie warned. "It'll scare them."

"Hey, but didn't Sophie say the same thing when she first met me? She said she was a vampire right away," Deng said matter-of-factly, looking at Gao Yumo. "And look, he wasn't scared at all, was he?"
