The disagreement between Hiratsuka Shizuka and Haruno has been going on for a long time, but they both know that the other is a stubborn person who will never change his opinion for a few words. And this time, Mori Yuesha's seemingly casual words once again activated Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Even Mori Yuesha can see that. Do you know how much you've gone too far?"

"Well, you sound like you're saying that girl is a fool." Yang No chuckled, looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka who was immersed in the drunkenness, feeling her thoughts paralyzed by alcohol, and the silent happiness diluted the depression.

"She's a surprisingly smart child."

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought about it and was very surprised. How could such intelligence be reflected?

"A fool can't tell." Yang Nai sneered at the woman, knocked on the bar, and ordered another round of wine.

"What's wrong with you today?" Shizuka Hiratsuka saw through Yukinoshita Haruno's abnormal attitude. Usually, she would just watch her drink, and occasionally persuade her to drink but would only take a sip. Why did she take the initiative today?

"Ah." Yang Nai pointed at her ears, pinched them with her hand, and lied bluntly: "Because..."

"Maybe it's because the music today is so nice."

Hiratsuka Shizuka rolled her eyes.

The hoarse and mature woman continued to sing to these animals whose true forms were revealed only in the night.

'In other words…'

'Darling kiss me.'

Chapter 35 Angels and Monsters

"Did they ask you to drink with those high-ranking officials again?"

Yukinoshita Haruno rarely reveals her true emotions. This is Shizuka Hiratsuka's analysis of her over the years, and once this happens, it proves that this girl has indeed been having a hard time recently.

Although her attitude towards her sister is criticized, it does not mean that she is relaxed. On the contrary, she actually endured a lot of things for Yukino that she should not have to endure.

She could have pushed those aside and lived freely.

"That's impossible." Yang Nai smiled and fanned her hands, "This is the best situation right now."

"I am very concerned about your condition and Yukino. Can't you change your twisted temper?" Shizuka Hiratsuka felt helpless as she looked at the girl's unchanging smile. Since when did she become like this?

"You are an adult. Children need guidance instead of creating difficulties for them with self-righteous methods. This also applies to you." Hiratsuka Shizuka wiped her face and sat up straight holding a tissue: "Sometimes I really hate you laughing like this."

Yang No shrugged, looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, and smiled even harder.

"Ugh."

"Don't talk about this kind of thing when you're out drinking. Shizuka, I know Yukino better than you do. She's 'my' sister..." The words implied that the person who said the previous sentence was meddling too much, and it was impossible for Shizuka Hiratsuka not to hear it.

But she still wanted to say it.

"That child... has become very taciturn. Her sensitivity and self-esteem make her very painful, and the pain keeps exacerbating her sensitivity. Her defense system begins to strengthen and harden. The slightest disturbance, even an inadvertent word, can make her think for a long time - striving for perfection, afraid of making mistakes in everything she does, but it is obvious that people can never pursue perfection."

"Until the end, so try hard..."

"You crushed me so easily."

Hiratsuka Shizuka put down her wine glass with a thump and looked at the thoughtful Haruno: "'The more awake a person is, the more painful it is'. You should change your philosophy of life - at least, don't use it on your own sister."

It would be nice if Yukino was like Mori Tsukisa, Hiratsuka Shizuka thought.

An optimistic, or a bit eccentric and naughty personality, can make her stand firm under the blows of Yang No... She may not even care about what her sister says or does. Or, it would be good for Yukino to be like those "ordinary" high school students: get hit once or twice, and succumb to the shadow of her sister.

Do your best to be a follower, at least you won’t suffer.

Who is suffering?

The one who is suffering is Sisyphus, the one who keeps pushing the boulder up the mountain, indifferently watches it roll down, and then repeats the cycle.

This painful time is eternity.

Yukinoshita Yukino is such a child, an indomitable challenger, an absolutist who either does it or does it perfectly - it will be a disaster when facing an elder sister who has higher stats than her in all aspects.

"She is flawed." Shizuka Hiratsuka ended calmly, picked up a cigarette and began to search for a lighter.

"Ah, it's over. Shizuka-chan is going to have a bad impression of me because of Yukino..." Yang No said casually. She knew what Shizuka Hiratsuka meant. "Oh, I'm such an incompetent sister."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked up and glared at the indecent Haruno, then continued to search with her head down.

Hey, where’s the lighter…?

Snapped.

A slender hand held a metal lighter, and the small flame was facing Hiratsuka Shizuka's cigarette butt.

The woman looked up in surprise and saw an extremely beautiful face...looking at her.

While sipping, the man raised his hands steadily, sat down next to Hiratsuka Shizuka, and ordered a glass of low-alcohol wine.

"I'm sorry, I just passed by and overheard your conversation." He didn't use his handsome face. Instead, he frowned and stared at Yukinoshita Haruno with a look of resentment and looked past Hiratsuka Shizuka.

“Oh…? Is this an apology?” Yang No raised her eyebrows and pointed at the lit cigarette in Hiratsuka Shizuka’s mouth.

"It would be great if you can." The man had long hair in a low braid on his back and was wearing a shirt. "I'm Noguchi."

"Such a serious introduction, I thought the gentleman was here to blame me."

Noguchi Tadashi really couldn't help himself. Ever since he heard the conversation between Yono and Hiratsuka Shizuka, he was furious.

He had followed Tojo Aoi for a long time, but he had witnessed how that girl fought her way out of a hell full of thorns.

and so.

He hates people who glorify suffering.

What did suffering bring to Tojo Aoi? Only pain and silent wailing.

"Oh, Mr. Noguchi wants the child to live like an angel?" Yang No looked at the man not far away quietly, with a hint of danger in her eyes. She could accept Shizuka Hiratsuka's questioning, but that didn't mean she could let strangers accuse her.

"Angel, a child who was raised with tender care has no resistance to those monsters. How does Mr. Noguchi understand the word 'at the mercy of others'?"

Noguchi Tadashi felt that Tojo Aoi had nothing to do with being at the mercy of others. Even if she had not experienced those things, the adult in his family would definitely be a mature, sharp and talented entrepreneur.

Yukinoshita Haruno bent her head and looked around Hiratsuka Shizuka with a playful look at the increasingly dissatisfied man: "Angels need a huge amount of money and devout faith to comb their feathers. Can Mr. Noguchi give it to them?"

“If the angels who only live beside God and in the Kingdom of God come to the human world one day and find that it is not as good as the divine world…”

"Angels who don't fit in and fall into the mire become prey to monsters."

But monsters are different.

Monsters are different. They grow wildly, and no matter they are thrown into a mud pond or a wasteland, they can find a way to survive. They eat grass roots, soil, and rotten animals; they plunder, fight, and compete to kill; they never stay in one place, and constantly look for new possibilities.

Their prey is the angels.

The light string music was mixed with some naughty saxophone, and the light banana-flavored jazz became more lively. The man who was not good at speaking always felt that the woman was making sophistry, but he didn't know how to refute her, so he had to hold the wine glass and sulk.

"It's not always like what you said." This was the man's final rebuttal, weak and monotonous. Yukinoshita Haruno could find countless loopholes to criticize him, but today, she didn't want to.

The woman lifted her short hair and let out a faint sigh.

"Yes, there are always some kind of elf-like creatures that can save monsters. Those active, sensitive natural creations to the core; those innocent, unworldly but extremely powerful and dangerous children favored by gods in myths; those races that cross the forest just to see a flower bloom..."

"If there's any way to save the monsters, they're the only ones."

Noguchi Tadashi said nothing. He absolutely did not agree with the woman's remarks about so-called angels/monsters - but he agreed with the argument of 'salvation'.

Isn’t Mori Yuesha that elf?

When will she come to save her own adults?

As she was thinking with a frown on her face, Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly touched the man's arm with her arm.

"Um... Mr. Noguchi, why are you here...?"

Yang Noya smiled and continued, "Yes, come to think of it, Mr. Noguchi, did you introduce yourself all of a sudden just to blame me?"

Noguchi Tadashi almost forgot about the main business.

He scratched his head and looked at the two beauties in embarrassment. After putting down his wine glass, he adjusted his collar and blinked in a very artificial manner.

"Hi! I'm Noguchi, do you want to date me?"

Haruno looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, and Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Haruno.

Where did this fool come from?

Chapter36 Is alcohol poisonous?

The big fool Mr. Noguchi didn't get the 'good news' in the end.

I won't talk about Haruno. She doesn't have any interest in someone like Noguchi Kaze who can be seen through at a glance. And Hiratsuka Shizuka thinks this guy is too pretty...

Not even being pretty?

"You have to know your limits, sir. You can't be prettier than your girlfriend." Yang Nai felt that this man really had no experience at all. "Xiao Jing doesn't like weak men."

Noguchi Chuanxin knew that he had no way to prove that he was not weak, so he drank a glass of wine in depression and sat still in the chair - there would be no gain tonight anyway, so he might as well stay with two beautiful and mature women, maybe he could gain some experience or something.

"Look more, Mr. Noguchi. If you have any plans, courage comes first. The good news is that you already have it."

"What's the use... They all say I'm a fool... I might as well make a wish..." The pretty man muttered as he took the cigarette handed to him by Hiratsuka Shizuka - after holding the lady's slender cigarette, his long hair made him look even more feminine...

"Make a wish?" Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately took out her phone and logged into a certain interface: "Is this it?"

Noguchi nodded.

"Ah, this website is the one that's been talked about the most recently." As he spoke, he checked his personal information on it: "Let me see... Hey, is it enough to just post it? It's hard to believe it's so popular."

Shizuka Hiratsuka lightly touched the roots of the giant trees with her fingers, picked one she liked, and left a line of words on it.

"Alcohol is poisonous"

"What a weird wish." Yang No glanced at her and said, "Are you going to torture yourself too?" She knew that Hiratsuka Shizuka lived on alcohol, so how could she make such a wish.

"It would be nice if all the alcohol in the world could be poisonous one day. At least I could quit drinking. Well, it's just for fun. I can't leave a real wish like those young people do." The woman waved her hand, "My wish is not as easy to realize as the one just now."

"Like finding a boyfriend?"

"It's marriage..." Speaking of marriage, the woman looked scared and shook the cup. The ice cubes collided and splashed a few drops of amber liquid.

"Is getting married a scary thing? What do you mean by that look of as if you've seen a ghost?"

Don't talk nonsense, ghosts are not that scary.

Shizuka Hiratsuka slumped on the bar, and after Tadashi Noguchi left, the two women couldn't help but fall into their own thoughts. In the small sofa at the back, a silver rabbit pendant was swinging on her wrist. Coming from the colorful and prosperous field to the unique bar, the animals didn't care that there was an extra rabbit in their group.

"Well, let's play a game, Mr. Peacock?"

The trendy young man took off his headphones and looked at the familiar woman opposite him - she was sexy, pretty, and had huge sunglasses covering half of her face. Most importantly... she was very proactive.

A rare beauty.

The boy sat up with a sly smile: "What are you playing?"

"How about a bet?" The woman stuck out her tongue playfully and scratched the table with her nails.

…………

……

"Are you going to go like this?" Yuno Agatsuma grabbed the corner of Mori Yuesa's clothes. The girl was running forward with all her might "in place" - before the girl in the short skirt could touch the door handle, she was pulled back to the bed by Yuno Agatsuma.

"Mori Yuesa, get dressed."

"I'll just go out for a while..."

"Stop lying, I saw what's on your phone." Yuno smiled and approached Mori Yuesha. Ever since Ansuna started learning to shop for herself, she often brought back all kinds of 'inappropriate' clothes for her and Mori Yuesha.

For example, low-cut dresses that almost reach the navel, shorts that look like underwear...

Agatsuma Yuno would absolutely forbid girls from going out dressed like this, and given her ADHD-like personality, it is hard to imagine whether the undecent Miss Yuesha would accidentally give benefits to someone.

"It's enough to wear at home, but you still have to..." The clothes in the closet were all picked by Yuno. Some of the ones bought by Ansuna have been thrown away. The one that Mori Yuesa is wearing now was newly given by Ansuna.

"Here."

The pink-haired girl in pajamas handed the clothes hanger to the reluctant girl. It was a set of clothes that was almost like the clothes Imhotep wore before he was resurrected.
