A newbie's anime life diary

Accompanying Senjougahara Hitagi?

Xuehui certainly didn't think it was about accompanying her back to her room to change clothes or anything like that; rather, it was about accompanying her to the police station for a routine questioning and to take a statement.

Logically speaking, with a female detective helping to take care of him, his task should have been completed by now.

But looking at the little girl holding his hand, Yukiteru felt that he, a person with ideals and aspirations, uprightness, kindness, youth, talent, knowledge and love, should lend a little help to Senjougahara Hitagi in her current lonely situation.

The other party's mother is unreliable for the time being, and the father is still on his way. According to the flight schedule, he will arrive at the earliest around 4 or 5 pm.

Left with no choice, Xuehui could only nod in agreement and then let her go change her clothes first.

With the bad guys in the family finally caught, Hitagi Senjougahara's previously gloomy mood improved considerably. Although her mother's condition was still not good, she felt there was definitely a way to resolve it.

She quickly changed her clothes and came downstairs. Then, together with Xuehui, they didn't take the police car, but got into their own car and followed behind the police car, heading straight to the police station.

As Xuehui accompanied Senjougahara Hitagi as she took her statement, news of a joint operation by police forces in multiple locations to eradicate a cult fraud gang spread like wildfire and quickly reached online media.

Meanwhile, Hiratsuka Shizuka, Yukino, and Utaha, who had been staying in the apartment, all learned about this information through various channels.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was never worried about these things. After reading the message, she put her phone back on the floor and continued doing her yoga. There was no way around it; Yukino was fine, but compared to Kasumigaoka Utaha, who also had a great figure, her age disadvantage forced her to admit that she needed to work out more.

After reading it, Shiyu didn't think about bothering Xuehui. Anyway, tonight was her time, and there was no need to join in the fun.

Naturally, that left only Yukino. Yukiteru had also contacted her last night, saying that after finishing his work, they could have lunch together and then go out for a walk.

Upon seeing the message, Yukino, who was reading a book in her apartment, checked the time and realized it was almost noon. So she took out her phone and dialed the number.

Yukiteru, who was in a meeting room at the police station with Naraku Isayama, listening to Hitagi Senjougahara's story, suddenly had his phone ring.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Seeing that his phone call had interrupted the recording, Xuehui immediately apologized and then walked out with his phone.

Once outside, Xuehui immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Yukino."

"It's almost noon. You promised yesterday that we'd have lunch together."

Yukino's calm yet slightly lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Yukiteru smile involuntarily.

"Don't worry, I won't forget." Xuehui checked the time and calculated, "It's 11 o'clock now. Here's what we'll do: you get ready first, and I'll come downstairs to pick you up around 11:30. Use this time to think about where to go this afternoon."

We're currently in Chiba City, not far from Yukino's apartment. I'll explain things here and head straight there; we have plenty of time.

After agreeing on a time with Yukino, Yukiteru returned to the room, and a few minutes later, the recording process officially ended.

"Alright, my work is almost finished. I have other things to do this afternoon, so I'll be going now. Uncle Naraku, could you please look after this child for a while? Her father should be here this afternoon."

Standing up from his chair, Yukiteru said to Naraku Isayama beside him, "We agreed to pick up Yukino at 11:30, so we can't be late."

However, before Isayama Naraku could speak, a small hand grabbed Yukiteru's clothes.

Then he saw Senjougahara Hitagi looking at him with teary eyes. Turning his head, he saw Isayama Naraku, the middle-aged man, also looking at him with a helpless expression, trying not to laugh.

Please, you're a police officer, be serious, okay?

With a sigh, Yukiteru bent down and patted the little girl's head, saying, "Well, I have things to do this afternoon, so how about Kuroi-chan stays at the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Can you stay?"

Clearly, Senjougahara Hitagi has developed some dependence on Yukiteru, the man who saved her family.

Being pestered by children, especially little girls, is definitely not a good thing for Yukiteru. Don't you see that little girl Mina is currently hiding in some unknown corner, secretly plotting something? Meanwhile, Yukiteru has also realized he has a knack for courting disaster. If he hadn't wanted to see what 13-year-old Senjougahara Hitagi was like, this situation wouldn't have arisen.

Shaking his head, Xuehui could only continue to persuade him: "I really have something to do this afternoon, and your father is on his way. You also want to see him as soon as possible, right?"

As expected, after resorting to the powerful tactic of bringing up her father, Hitagi Senjougahara began to waver, since she genuinely wanted to see her father.

Seeing that the other party was wavering, Xuehui thought for a moment and continued, "How about this, since I'm one of the people in charge of this matter, you should first work with your father to handle the current situation. If you want to come out and visit me again in the future, just give me a call. I can also introduce you to a girl your age."

Xuehui took a pen and paper, wrote his name and phone number on a slip of paper, and placed it in front of the other person: "How about this, is it okay?"

"Hiratsuka... Yukiteru?" He took the note, repeated it softly, then nodded and said, "Alright then, it's a promise, Yukiteru-nii."

As he spoke, he extended his right little finger.

Is this a pinky promise? He's still just a kid.

Xuehui smiled and made a pinky promise with her, going along with her request. Anyway, if she really contacted him later, he could meet her and introduce Ryougi Mina to her. It would be more comfortable for girls her own age to get along with each other than with a boy like him.

Having dealt with the unexpectedly clingy Hitagi Senjougahara, Yukiteru finally left the police station, got into his car, and immediately urged it to speed up to Yukino's apartment.

Luckily, it wasn't far, and I arrived 5 minutes early. I also took the opportunity to visit Yukino's apartment building, which I had never been to before.

As for the two bodyguards who were originally protecting Yukino, Yukiteru didn't hesitate after yesterday's incident. He immediately had his own people take over their duties and sent them back with a message.

The replacement was also an assistant, helping Yukino familiarize herself with many things, so Yukino didn't feel uncomfortable.

Sitting in the living room of the apartment, Yukiteru crossed his legs and waited for Yukino, who was changing clothes, while observing the apartment and muttering to himself.

"When we move to a new house, how big should it be? A duplex would be better, with more space. With Yin-Yang magic to control the little shikigami, cleaning wouldn't be a problem at all. But those duplex apartments might be located in a rather far place."

“We don’t need a big place. There aren’t that many people. A place big enough will feel empty, just like here. It doesn’t feel like home at all,” Yukino said, continuing Yukiteru’s words as she changed into a dress and walked out of the room.

She didn't like her current apartment at all. It wasn't that it was bad, but living alone in a big house gave her a strange sense of emptiness and loneliness, which made her uncomfortable.

Or perhaps it's a lack of security.

"Hmm, that's true. Let's think about it some more."

Standing up, Yukiteru looked at Yukino who had walked up to him and nodded involuntarily: "You really do look beautiful in anything. Have you decided where we're going this afternoon?"

"Really, I can choose anywhere?" Yukino asked, her eyes sparkling with an inexplicable light.

Although Yukiteru couldn't guess what Yukino was thinking, he still nodded.

"Don't worry, we won't go too far," Yukino explained before saying, "We're going to Tokyo."

After lunch, Yukiteru was dragged by Yukino to spend the afternoon at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo to see the giant pandas.

Hmm...that's true. Yukino doesn't have any other special hobbies. She usually just reads books and really likes cats. Lately, she's been obsessed with giant pandas and things like Mr. Pan.

Or rather, are there people in this world who don't like giant pandas?

The answer is, of course, no.

So Yukiteru was happy to relax and spent the afternoon with Yukino at the zoo. Since they were in Tokyo, his own territory, he used a little convenience to let Yukino secretly interact with the panda cubs that were only a few months old. Although the time was short, it was enough for Yukino to reminisce about for a long time.

Yukiteru wasn't particularly excited because he had already seen Yukino several times before his transmigration. However, Yukino's performance still impressed him. She truly was a world-class cutie; no matter which country she went to, no matter how aloof a person was, they would be instantly captivated upon seeing her.

Thanks to these giant pandas, Yukiteru unexpectedly received a kiss from Yukino at the end of the trip, so it was definitely worth it.

They played until after 4 p.m. when Utaha finally called to inquire. Only then did Yukiteru finally end his afternoon of sightseeing with Yukino and set off back to Chiba.

Yukino didn't go back to her apartment either. Instead, she had Yukiteru take her to Hiratsuka Shizuka's place. It seems the two of them were planning to have dinner together.

That's good, it saves Yukiteru from worrying that Hiratsuka Shizuka won't cook for herself.

After dropping Yukino off, Yukiteru went straight to Utaha's house and rang the doorbell.

Because she was prepared, it didn't take long for Shiyu, dressed in casual clothes, to open the door and see Yuki standing there with a smile on her face.

"You're on time, come in quickly." Nodding in satisfaction, Shiyu welcomed Xuehui inside.

As soon as Xuehui entered, footsteps came from the living room, and a man and a woman appeared in front of him.

Aside from the previous meeting with Yukino's mother, this was Yukiteru's first formal meeting with the parents, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

The formation of the troublemaking trio is in the works and will be seen soon.

Chapter 113 Everything Goes Smoothly

Xuehui is sitting next to Shiyu, with her parents sitting opposite them, and the four of them are having dinner.

After a little initial nervousness, Xuehui became more and more natural. Now it seems that there's nothing to be nervous about when meeting the parents.

When they entered, Shiyu's mother was already preparing dinner, so Shiyu chatted with her father for a while, and then the four of them moved their conversation to the dining table.

Dinner was a very traditional Japanese family meal, but it tasted quite good.

During this time, it was usually Xuehui and Shiyu's mother who were communicating. This lady was obviously very interested in her boyfriend who had suddenly gone from being a junior to her daughter. It didn't matter that he was a year younger than her daughter. Instead, she asked all sorts of questions, from how the two met in the beginning to all sorts of questions afterward.

Xuehui didn't think much of it; after all, it's normal for a mother to care about her daughter's social life, and he answered each question one by one.

Finally, as the questions became increasingly embarrassing, Shiyu couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted, "Mom, can you please stop asking? How can you ask such questions? We've only been dating for a few days!"

Shiyu couldn't hold back any longer. At first, it was fine; she was just asking about her and Xuehui's experiences of getting to know each other. But now? She's even starting to ask how far things have progressed between them...

The wife also felt it was a bit too much. There was nothing she could do; it was the first time her daughter had brought someone home as a guest, and it was a boy, and they were even dating. How could she not be excited?

"Ahem, I'm just concerned about you. Don't you know your own personality? Your father and I may not say it often, but we've always worried about whether you'll be able to find a good family in the future. I'm very satisfied with Xuehui-kun. You'd better curb your arrogant nature from now on, understand?"

"Please, I'm your daughter, okay?" Shiyu said with dissatisfaction, then glared at Xuehui beside her.

Xuehui smiled and then looked at his wife and said, "Auntie, Shiyu's personality has improved a lot now, and she has made several friends. There's no need to worry."

"Really?" The lady was clearly a little skeptical, glancing at Shiyu suspiciously. Seeing that both of them nodded in agreement, she temporarily accepted it.

While his wife was concerned about her daughter's relationship with Xuehui, Shiyu's father, standing to the side, had a different perspective. He unusually refrained from drinking during dinner today, and looked at Xuehui, asking, "We know you're also writing light novels, and they're selling quite well. But I'd still like to ask, what are your plans for the future?"

"The future?" Xuehui was also surprised that this uncle would ask this question, but thinking about it, it made sense. The other party was a middle manager of a large company, and he would care more about the man's achievements and future plans.

After thinking for a moment, Xuehui replied, "I'm still in high school. My current plan is to finish my studies while also writing the light novel I have on hand. In the future, I plan to start my own business, but for now, I'm still accumulating capital and learning."

Nodding, the head of the family was fairly satisfied with Xuehui's answer. Although there were some signs that the other party's identity was unusual, his confidence was still quite good.

"Well, although it's a bit out of place with the current atmosphere, I still have to ask, and it's for Shiyu's sake too." The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly turned somber. He looked at Xuehui and asked, "Your feelings for Shiyu aren't just for fun, are they?"

"father!"

Shi Yu suddenly panicked. She never expected that they would suddenly ask this question when they were having a good chat.

Xuehui looked at the calm-faced middle-aged man in front of him without much reaction. He first held Shiyu's hand to calm her down, and then slowly said, "Uncle, it's normal for you to ask this. Although I'm too lazy to care about some things, I'm always very cautious when it comes to feelings. Since I'm serious, I won't treat it as a game. I like Shiyu very much, no matter how much time passes."

After saying this, Xuehui smiled and stared at the other person without flinching.

Shiyu, whose hand had been held by Xuehui, was now experiencing a rapid heartbeat. Being confessed to in front of her parents made her, no matter how proud and aloof she usually was, feel like a shy little girl, her face flushed and her head bowed.

Upon hearing Xuehui's reply, not only Shiyu's father but also his wife, who had been silent, smiled in unison.

At first, they were worried that their naive daughter would be deceived, but now it seems that their worries were unfounded.
