A newbie's anime life diary

Hiratsuka Shizuka had laughed herself awake several times because of this.

After exchanging a few words, the Ryougi family's car slowly pulled up in front of the four of them.

The driver got out of the car first and ran over to open the door. The first to get out was Saeko Busujima, dressed in a dress. She glanced at the three people next to Yukiteru, smiled, and then made way for him.

Following behind was a small figure, who was no longer dressed in a dress, but instead wore long pants. She probably changed into them because she wanted to play more.

As Ryougi Mina descended, she was unexpectedly holding the hand of someone else: Tsurumi Rumi.

This little girl, whom I haven't seen much since we parted ways in Chiba Village, was actually brought here by Ryougi Mina this time. It seems that the two of them have a really good relationship.

Finally, there's Ryougi Shiki, dressed in a standard kimono.

It's estimated that Ryougi Shiki is the only one dressed like this in the entire Soubu High School today. And Ryougi Shiki certainly caught everyone's attention when she appeared. She's someone who can perfectly pull off any style of clothing; wearing a kimono, combined with her mature face, she looks like a cold and elegant lady.

After Ryougi Shiki came down, Yukiteru led a few people forward and said, "Teacher, welcome to the cultural festival."

After saying that, he looked at Ryougi Mina and Tsurumi Rumi on the side: "Mina and Rumi too, especially Rumi, it's been a long time."

After Yukiteru finished speaking, Yukino, who was standing to the side, also respectfully said, "Teacher."

Ryougi Shiki nodded, then looked at the somewhat nervous Kasumigaoka Utaha and said, "Kasumigaoka Utaha, right?"

"Yes...yes." Although it was just a very ordinary sentence, it has to be said that Ryougi Shiki's aura was still very strong, and Utaha had never met such a person before, so her heart was in her throat again.

Nodding, Ryougi Shiki didn't do anything to make things difficult for her, and said, "I know you. From now on, just like Yukino, call me teacher."

“Okay, teacher.” Shiyu immediately responded, and after seeing Xuehui nod slightly beside her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She finally understood what Xuehui meant by “big shot”; his aura was incredibly strong.

As for Hiratsuka Shizuka... she's already gotten used to not communicating with Ryougi Shiki; they just don't get along.

"Alright, let's not stay here any longer. Let's take everyone inside and have a good look around."

Standing at the entrance wasn't going to work, so the group went straight into the school.

As they prepared to visit the teaching building, Saeko Busujima, who had been silent all along, said, "Teacher, everyone, I'll be leaving for a bit. The kendo club has invited me to visit and watch a performance. If you have time later, please come and watch too."

Everyone looked at Ryougi Shiki, and finally she nodded and said, "Go ahead, you'll be there when the time comes."

After apologizing to everyone, Saeko Busujima left the group, but the look she gave Yukiteru before leaving made Yukino frown slightly.

A while after Saeko Busujima left, Shizuka Hiratsuka also took her leave. As a teacher, she still had things to do, and her previous visit was only out of courtesy.

With these two gone, the number of people on the team shrank to six. Although they were still somewhat conspicuous, things were much better after Xuehui and the other two removed the executive committee members' badges.

There were many interesting things at the class presentation, so Ryougi Shiki and Tsurumi Rumi had a lot of fun. During this time, Yukiteru also learned that Tsurumi Rumi was coming because Mina had contacted her the day before, saying that she had to meet her when she came to Chiba.

It seems we've become pretty good girlfriends.

When they arrived at the second-year floor, they inevitably ran into Yukiteru's class. Hikigaya and Yuihama were at the door, taking attendance before the performance.

Yuihama was busy, but Hikigaya did see Yukiteru and his group. However, after noticing Yukiteru's deliberate actions and the fact that they weren't wearing armbands, Hikigaya nodded knowingly and slowly blocked Yuihama's view with his own body, allowing Yukiteru and the others to pass through.

"Hey, Xuehui-ge, why don't you go check on your class?" Ryougi Mina knew that Xuehui was in Class 2-F, so she originally wanted to go check on him, but Xuehui stopped her and she asked out of curiosity.

Shaking his head, Xuehui replied, "Well, you guys shouldn't watch this show. Some of the plot points aren't suitable for you."

Ryougi Mina glanced at Yuki with a puzzled look, then ignored her. As long as there was something to do, that was fine.

Continuing down the path, they finally arrived at a place that Xuehui had wanted to visit yesterday but couldn't.

Class 2-B, this is the exhibition event, the maid café.

Before even getting close, you can see a boy dressed as a waiter beckoning interested students in at the door; it is none other than Aki Tomoya.

That's right, this is their class activity.

Of course, this wasn't his doing. After all, he's an otaku who only likes anime girls. As for real-life girls... well... recently he seems to have developed a strong interest in Kato Megumi. However, due to his own actions and various other reasons, game development has been temporarily put on hold.

Turning to the group around him, Xuehui suggested, "We've been walking around for quite a while, why don't we sit here and rest for a bit?"

"I think you just want to go, don't you?" Yukino glanced at Yukiteru without any politeness.

"Well, what's so interesting about these? Yukiteru-kun, I can wear one too if you want to see." Utaha didn't seem to care much. After all, it's a maid outfit, and most normal guys would like that kind of thing. So she said that to Yukiteru, and also to provoke Yukino.

However, this seems different from before, and it doesn't seem to have any effect on Yukino.

"I'm so sorry, I've already worn it once." As she spoke, Yukino glanced at Utaha without showing any weakness, which made Yukiteru a little confused. What's so great about wearing a maid outfit? Besides, she's not the only one who wears it.

However, we decided to go in and sit down in the end because the two girls wanted to have something to drink.

Aki Tomoya also saw Yukiteru and his group, but because he saw Ryougi Shiki and the two little girls behind them, he didn't chat with them much and directly led them inside, even putting together a large table.

After sitting down, Xuehui observed the maid outfits that were busy around. Just as she had thought, they were not the short skirt style, but rather the more traditional style of long maid outfits, only revealing a section of the calves wearing white stockings. However, the style was quite nice.

"How strange, why didn't any maids come to serve us after we sat down?" Ryougi Mina sat in her chair, swinging her legs, looking very puzzled.

"No... actually, it's already here."

Xuehui rubbed his forehead, looking a bit troubled, and pointed to Kato Megumi, who was holding a menu and looking somewhat distressed.

This faint presence, which I haven't seen for a while, has now become so pervasive that it can envelop others?

I've already booked the third update; the next chapter will be all about the drama, all sorts of things.

Chapter 105 Mars is about to collide with Earth

Ryougi Mina and Tsurumi Rumi finally saw Kato Megumi dressed in a maid outfit and stared at the young lady in shock.

When did this arrive?

Not only the two of them, but even Ryougi Shiki looked at Kato Megumi with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Although she sensed his gaze, Kato Megumi maintained a calm expression. It was unclear what she was thinking inside, but on the surface, she remained completely unfazed.

"Um...would you masters like to order some food?"

It's still the same old, unremarkable lines, but paired with a maid outfit, well, how should I put it, it's slightly...exciting?

Maids and such with barely any presence...

I guess it can become a signboard to attract customers.

After ordering, Kato Megumi took the order slip to the kitchen.

After the other person left, Ryougi Shiki looked at Yukiteru and asked, "This girl is so hard to spot?"

Xuehui nodded and said, "According to her own words, she is too unremarkable and too ordinary, so over time she has lost her presence. Even when she is chatting with others, they will unconsciously forget about her. But I think her own statement is a bit wrong. She is clearly a pretty outstanding girl."

After saying that, Yukiteru realized something was wrong. Sure enough, Yukino and Utaha, who were sitting on either side of him, were already looking at him coldly.

Don't look at me like that. I like girls with long, straight black hair. Seriously, the previous hundreds of thousands of words can prove it.

With a sigh, Xuehui could only explain, "It's just a very ordinary and objective evaluation, nothing special. And to be fair, Kato's evaluation is indeed not as ordinary as it seems."

"Oh~ So that's how Hiratsuka-san sees me? I'm really grateful."

Kato Megumi reappeared silently beside her at some point.

After putting down the two drinks, Kato Megumi smiled slightly and then took the tray to do other things.

Yukiteru was prepared for Kato Megumi's sudden appearance, and simply glanced at Yukino and Utaha.

They turned their heads in perfect unison, clearly realizing they had gone too far. While Kato Megumi was still present, they observed each other from a distance for a moment longer.

She has fair skin and regular features. Her original bob haircut has grown long since she started working on the game, and it's almost shoulder-length now. She also has a good figure, which is better than that of the average high school girl.

She's not the kind of person who's stunningly beautiful, but she has a charming, understated beauty that grows on you the more you look at her.

Overall, Xuehui's evaluation was somewhat low.

This is the conclusion that Yukino and Utaha came to after careful observation. They hadn't paid much attention to Kato Megumi's presence before, but now they realized that she was truly a hidden talent.

Fortunately, Kato Megumi has had little contact with the Service Club and Yukiteru, and with Aki Tomoya's situation, game production is also temporarily suspended, so there's no need to worry about anything happening between her and Yukiteru.

Just then, another maid came to the table carrying a plate.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for your drinks."

Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Xuehui turned around and saw two golden twin tails swaying from time to time, as well as a somewhat displeased face.

"Pfft... What are you doing here? Aren't you from the next class?"

Yukiteru burst out laughing. Sawamura Spencer Eriri, what's that blonde loser doing here? Wasn't it said that her relationship with Aki Tomoya hadn't improved yet?

But... do young ladies these days all like to wear maid outfits?

Yukino wore it once before, and now Eriri has worn it too.

"Do you think I wanted to come here?" Because there was someone who looked like an elder present, our Miss Eriri was quite tactful, putting down the drinks and snacks on the tray while saying with dissatisfaction.

Hearing what the other person said, Shi Yu raised her head and turned around in the room.

Sure enough, a petite girl with twin tails, also dressed in a maid outfit, was clinging to Aki Tomoya, and Aki Tomoya was also smiling as he spoke to her.

"Hmm~~ It seems you're having a really tough time. The other person isn't paying attention to you at all and is busy flirting with a junior."

Seeing Eriri Sawamura rushing over angrily after hearing her words, Utaha smiled slightly and glanced at Yukiteru beside her. Although it was a bit late, he wasn't a hopeless blockhead, even if he had a few too many flowers blooming on him.

Meanwhile, Aki Tomoya was caught in a chaotic scene with his junior and childhood friend, but no one paid any attention to him. Instead, Kato Megumi calmly went about her business, and even when ignored by the customers, she didn't get angry. This piqued Ryougi Shiki's interest.

Upon seeing this, Xuehui had a bad feeling.

"Teacher, you wouldn't happen to be...?"

Ryougi Shiki did not deny it, and said directly, "That girl, also known as the potential of a top assassin, has such a rare presence that I have never seen before."

Slapping his forehead, Yuki knew that Ryougi Shiki's habit of scavenging talent had struck again. Although he had previously complained that Kato Megumi would be an absolutely perfect candidate for an Assassin, that was just talk.

After much effort, they finally managed to suppress Ryougi Shiki's thoughts, and the group, having rested enough, left the maid café where various power struggles and intrigues were taking place.

I guess only Kato Megumi, who was standing at the door waving to them, could remain calm.

Although the sage Hui and Zhuge Hui have not yet revealed much, Xuehui already admires them greatly.

After being led around for a while, Ryougi Shiki no longer asked Yukiteru and the others to lead the way.

"You all have your own work to do, so go ahead and take care of it. Don't worry about us. We'll meet up for lunch."

After thinking it over, Xuehui agreed. There were guards around, and Shiki was no ordinary person, so there was nothing to worry about.
