A newbie's anime life diary

After hearing this, Yukino finally nodded happily: "Yes, that's great, and I won't have to be separated from Yukino. Okay, I agree."

Upon seeing that Haruno had finally agreed to the invitation, Yukiteru breathed a small sigh of relief. After all, this wouldn't harm Haruno herself. Moreover, even with just a slight involvement, the Yukinoshita family could certainly live comfortably in Chiba for decades without any worries.

As for their father, that Yukinoshita councilor, he shouldn't think about promotion for now; he should stay in Chiba for a year or two before making any decisions.

After the chat ended, Yang Nai left alone. She had to go home first. She couldn't talk about what happened inside yet, but she could reveal some other things. She would settle everything when Yukiteru and the others met face to face.

Yukino was escorted back to her apartment by Yukiteru. The two were already dating, and Haruno didn't care much anymore; she even hoped they would get pregnant soon.

She has never experienced taking care of a child before.

"Yukino, how about we move back to our old apartment?" Yukiteru asked, holding Yukino's hand as they sat in the car.

He finally understood today that the so-called inability to have close contact with them was nothing more than a way for the three of them to keep an eye on each other. As for when they were alone, who knew?

Listening to Yukiteru's words, Yukino was also thinking. To be honest, living a bit far away now is indeed a bit inconvenient. Moreover, Kasumigaoka Utaha is particularly fond of teasing people. What if she doesn't keep an eye on things and someone else beats her to it?

As for Hiratsuka Shizuka... her pride as the older sister prevents her from being too arrogant, and besides, she gets along quite well with Yukino, so there's no need to worry about her.

Or, how about we move back?

Just as he was about to answer, Xuehui shook his head and said, "No, that's too much trouble."

"Ugh?"

"Why don't you move in with me, Yukino?" Yukiteru revealed his ulterior motives with a broad smile. They both lived alone; now that they were dating, wouldn't it be better for them to move in together?

We can help each other in life and see each other all the time, which is so much better than living across the street or anything like that.

cohabitation?

Upon hearing Yukiteru's suggestion, Yukino's face immediately turned red. Living together... didn't that mean...?

Recently, I've started browsing dating forums online, and I'm learning more and more about Yukino. I'm quite aware of what Yukiteru is up to.

But thinking about it, since I'm not going to be interested in anyone else anyway, this might not be a bad idea...?

Of course, she still maintained a certain level of reserve. She shook her head slightly and said, "Well, haven't you thought about the future? Your house only has two rooms, and I won't be the only one moving in later."

Xuehui was taken aback, then realized what was going on. Her own apartment was a two-bedroom unit, but with Jingjie and Shiyu, there were four people in total, so they should at least have a three-bedroom unit.

What? You're asking why three rooms instead of four?

Still too young.

After thinking for a moment, Xuehui said, "We don't need it for now. Shiyu lives with her family and it's unlikely she'll move out anytime soon. Why don't you move in first, Yukino, and then we can look for a place slowly? We don't need your help, teacher. I have quite a bit of royalties now, and in about six months, buying a nice duplex outright will definitely not be a problem."

Xuehui hadn't checked the bank card he kept for novel royalties in a long time, only glancing at it when he received a text message notification. The novel's sales had been consistently good; now... it should have surpassed 100 million yen by now.

In a while, we can start discussing the anime adaptation, which will increase our income. Buying a house in Chiba won't be a problem at all.

Hearing that Yukiteru had already made up his mind, Yukino didn't know what to say. If she refused again, Yukiteru would probably be very disappointed. So she could only say, "Um, give me a few days to prepare."

If there's no refusal, then it means it's okay?

They said they'd prepare for a few days, but I guess they're just shy.

Yukiteru certainly didn't mind waiting a few more days. After all, he'd soon be living under the same roof as Yukino-chan. Even if they didn't immediately share a room, wouldn't it be normal for some sweet things to happen from time to time?

Then we can move to a different house, and after Shiyu graduates, we can all live together. It's such a wonderful future!

Emmmm~ I need to cool off a bit.

We should strive for purity; our dream is beautiful love, and physical intimacy is merely a natural consequence of this process, not the most important thing.

No problem.

After seeing Yukino off, Yukiteru returned to his apartment. He called Shizuka and Utaha, chatted for a while, and then went to bed early, since he had very important things to do tomorrow.

That cult group has planned to cause trouble.

We must seize the opportunity and eradicate them completely.

Meanwhile, at the Kasumigaoka family home, Utaha was in her bedroom, her face flushed, talking to her mother.

It had already been arranged that Xuehui would be a guest tomorrow, and she didn't plan to reveal anything about their relationship so soon.

As a result, when she was on the phone with Xuehui in the bedroom, her mother was eavesdropping outside the door. She could hear the tone of her voice, and she couldn't hide it anymore.

It seems that tomorrow night's ordinary visit will turn into a scene of the father-in-law and mother-in-law looking at their son-in-law.

I've been slacking off these past few days, and I haven't had the motivation to write anything. I only managed to finish the last chapter after dinner.

But even when I'm slacking off, it's already past midnight.

Chapter 110 Opening the Door, Community Brings Warmth

On Sunday, Xuehui got up early after a good night's rest, did some exercise to warm up, and left the apartment after breakfast.

Today's destination is a villa area in eastern Chiba Prefecture. Although it is quite different from a mansion like the Yukinoshita family's, it is still considered a luxury residence. The residents here are mostly executives and managers of foreign companies, as well as some wealthy businessmen.

The reason I decided to personally confront that cult group today is because of one of its members.

When Yukiteru saw that Kaiki Deishuu was on the list of fraudsters, he already had a premonition. As it turned out, the subsequent events confirmed his premonition, and he was also somewhat relieved.

One thing I'm glad about is that when I chose to be a plagiarist, I didn't choose the Monogatari series of novels. At the time, I thought there might be similar things in this world, and I might run into someone else. Plus, the Monogatari series of novels has too much nonsense and is too verbose, so the safety factor isn't very high.

The second positive point is the timeline.

Although we don't know how many characters will appear, this timeline is definitely quite early.

While the car was traveling, Xuehui closed his eyes to rest and asked, "Have the other areas all been prepared?"

Matsumoto, the assistant driving the car, immediately replied, "We've been ready for a long time. The gangs in the other areas are all lying in wait, but we've specially contacted a group of professionals. After they learned what we were going to do, they readily agreed to cooperate and have been monitoring us perfectly around the clock. They've been working with the assault team to subdue the special-ability accomplices the other side recruited. After that, the Metropolitan Police Department can take over."

Nodding, Xuehui also had a headache: "A cult organization is able to recruit so many people with all kinds of abilities, and it's an outside group. I really don't know how the immigration authorities manage it. That's why I said the official people are unreliable. At this time, we have to bear the extra manpower costs ourselves. Fortunately, it's a cult organization, so no one cares. Otherwise, even if we solved it, it wouldn't be easy to handle."

Yukiteru had originally planned to contact the official Onmyoji organization and have them carry out this operation, while also seeing how capable the Mikadoin family, who controlled the official forces on the inside, really were. However, they were unexpectedly entrusted with the operation in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police Department without any hesitation, and they didn't even provide much financial support.

It seems those people are planning to investigate all the way to the bottom.

Now they have to pretend to be an official special forces unit, and when making contact, they can only contact a small number of high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Police Department, which causes all sorts of trouble.

But before that, Yukiteru had one more thing to do.

"The shell boat hasn't moved from its current location, has it?"

"They've been in a nearby coffee shop for half an hour now, apparently waiting to make contact and make a killing. They've noticed the surveillance, but surprisingly, they haven't left."

With a hint of surprise, Xuehui narrowed his eyes: "It seems that we really can't underestimate this group's intelligence network. Although it's a bit unpleasant to make money from something like this, they still have some bottom line."

Ten minutes later, the car pulled up directly in front of a coffee shop. I had deliberately chosen a very ordinary sedan today, so it wouldn't attract any attention.

I pushed open the door and went inside. The waiter, who was still a bit sleepy from work early in the morning, immediately came up to me.

"I'm here to find someone." Xuehui pointed to the only customer at the table by the window, readily ordered a coffee, and then went over and sat down opposite the man.

"A shell-wood mud boat, that's right."

Looking at the middle-aged man opposite him, dressed in a black suit, with his hair slicked back with wax and combed meticulously, and with a calm expression, Xuehui said indifferently.

"Rumor has it that the husband of the next head of the Ryougi family, Hiratsuka Yukiteru, is indeed even stronger than the rumors suggest. I wouldn't last three rounds against you." Kaiki Deishuu sipped his coffee leisurely, smiling slightly at Yukiteru, as if he wasn't worried at all that Yukiteru might suddenly attack and subdue him.

Raising an eyebrow, Yukiteru was a little confused by the term "husband" used by Kaiki Deishuu. Where did this news come from? He would have to ask Shiki about it later; it would be troublesome if Yukino and the others found out.

Seeing that Xuehui did not speak, Beimu Nishu continued, "It seems that my business here is not going to work out?"

"May I ask, how many times did you originally plan to do this kind of business?"

"A few times?" Kaiki Deishuu smiled nonchalantly and replied, "I believe in money, but of course I also adhere to certain principles while making money. After these two times, that should be enough. Even if you Hiratsuka-kun don't take action, I estimate I will find an opportunity to take care of them."

"Just you alone? I doubt it." Xuehui didn't believe the man's explanation. At first, he thought Beimu Nishou was very powerful, but now that he saw him, he realized that, just as he said, he posed no threat at all.

When facing those powerful demons, Yukiteru always felt like a lazy bum, but now he realizes that he has become a big shot outside.

Does it seem a bit too low-key?

Well, he's not really interested in fighting all the time, and he doesn't need to deal with trivial matters. He only needs to do something like today once or twice.

“You’re absolutely right. With my abilities, I can only take down one of their strongholds at most. I have limited manpower, and that’s all I can do.” Bei Mu Nishu didn’t refute Yuki’s doubts about him. He was quite self-aware, and besides, the profession of a con artist doesn’t rely on brute force.

"I'm not interested in your abilities, but I'm quite surprised by your intelligence network. You always seem to find big deals accurately, and you've managed to get close to this elusive group several times. Have you ever thought about getting involved in the intelligence business?"

At that moment, the waiter brought Xuehui's coffee.

Xuehui took a sip and continued, "You know no one ever thinks they have too much intelligence, especially when it's an intelligence network of unconventional guys like you."

"Can you tell me what kind of information you need?" Kaiki Nishu was clearly very interested in Yukiteru's business. After all, the other party represented the Ryougi family and wouldn't be stingy with a little bit of information.

"Information like today's, information on criminal gangs involving individuals with special abilities, we welcome all submissions, and of course, the price will definitely satisfy you, as long as the information is accurate." Xuehui stared directly at Beimu Niishu, calculating his options.

These days, it's getting harder and harder for anyone to make money, and inevitably some capable people will take advantage of their skills to commit crimes. These people are very good at hiding themselves, not to mention they often operate as gangs.

Like this time, this gang used ability users as a cover to mislead people and achieve their own goals. It wasn't discovered until now, which is much more troublesome than dealing with one person.

Fraudsters like Bei Mudshou travel all over the country and have their own intelligence network. Although it may not be as large as that of major forces, they are often able to find some interesting information.

After thinking for a moment, Bei Mu Nishu nodded slightly: "This business is feasible. I also know some of your branch addresses. I will directly give you the information. We can also settle accounts on a periodic basis. For big business, I can treat it specially."

As he spoke, Bei Mu took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote down a string of numbers, and placed it in front of Xue Hui.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you." After putting away the bank account slip, Xuehui wasn't ready to stop there. He continued to look at the other party and asked, "I have another big private order here. Are you interested? It's exclusively for the Ryougi family, but it's a bit dangerous."

"Tell me, you can rest assured, I never divulge client information." Bei Mu Nishu's eyes lit up again. Although the original business deal fell through, there was an unexpected gain.

Xuehui waved, took the paper and pen from Beimu's hand, and wrote down a string of words.

[Abe no Seimei, Mikadoin, Hyakumonogatari Group]

When Bei Mu Ni Zhou took a look, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. These were no ordinary things.

"Let me think about it. I might need to discuss it with a few colleagues. This isn't an order I can handle by myself."

"I hope you've found someone with the professional qualities of an intelligence operative." After finishing his coffee, Xuehui stood up. "Then I'll await your good news, Mr. Beimu."

"See you next time, Hiratsuka-kun."

After leaving the coffee shop, Xuehui got into his car and arrived at a parking lot near the villa area.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, news came that all the other party's personnel had appeared. Xuehui took a deep breath and got out of the car.
