A newbie's anime life diary

Yukiteru was also taken aback, looking at Machida Sonoko: "Why did you bring this up again? Are those animation companies still bothering us?"

"There's nothing we can do. The frequency of light novel adaptations is getting higher and higher these days, and with your novel selling so well, of course they're keeping a close eye on you." Machida Sonoko picked up a few posters from the table; they were all promotional posters for some light novel works that were going to be adapted into anime in the next round.

"Animation adaptation?" Yukiteru rubbed his chin, thinking there was no need to delay any longer, so he nodded. "Alright then, you can arrange for me to meet with a few of the best animation studios in the industry to discuss it."

Well, that's great! Not only is the manga version finalized today, but the anime version is also half-finished.

After a while, Rena Kawada returned and signed the agreement with Eriri and Yukiteru. The manga project officially began preparations, and online and offline promotions would gradually roll out over the next two days.

After finishing their work-related discussions, Kawada Rena naturally invited the three of them out for dinner to celebrate this joyous occasion.

Yukiteru and Eriri didn't refuse, and they had a nice barbecue at a high-end barbecue restaurant outside, before taking a car back to Chiba.

Chapter 141 Shocking! Beautiful Girl from Soubu High School Suspected of Living with Someone!

After dropping Eriri off, Yukiteru got home at 8 p.m.

As I opened the door and stepped into the living room, I was surprised to find that everyone had arrived. Shiyu was also there, and the three of us were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Is there no one to welcome me back?"

Taking off his coat and wearing only a shirt, Xuehui approached the three women. Looking at them on the television, he felt ignored and needed to assert his presence.

The next second, all three of them looked at Xuehui, then reached out and pointed to the single sofa next to them.

"..."

Three to one, I'll endure it.

Xuehui silently sat down on the designated sofa, and after watching the three people sit down, he found himself in a large sofa with enough space for him to sit down, remaining silent.

Jingjie always enjoys seeing herself get the short end of the stick, and Yukino, just as she said yesterday, is trying to find a way to "teach" her a lesson. But why is Utaha the same way?

Yukiteru turned his gaze to Utaha, who was closest to him. Upon seeing this, Utaha cautiously pointed to Yukino, who was sitting in the middle of the three, making her meaning very clear.

Well, does this mean the status of the empress is unshakeable?

Yukiteru immediately said that since Yukino wanted to play, he would play with her for a few days and be a proper good boy.

After sitting for a while, seeing that the three of them were watching TV, Xuehui went to take a shower.

After Yukiteru left, the three looked at each other. Utaha frowned and looked at Yukino, saying, "Was what we did a bad thing? I'm starting to regret it."

Yukino didn't speak, but Shizuka said, "There's no need for that. Yukiteru understands everything, and he's accepted it himself. It's not that you shouldn't be clingy to him, but you should know how to restrain yourself. Women should be reserved when necessary."

"The consequence of my restraint is that you beat me to the punch," Shi Yu replied expressionlessly, causing Sister Xiao Jing to turn her face away awkwardly and remain silent.

At this moment, Yukino spoke up: "Don't worry about Yukiteru. Let him rest for a couple of days. The effect this morning was quite good. He slept surprisingly restlessly. Let's not talk about that for now. Tomorrow is Wednesday. For the next three days, we can finally have time to choose furniture after school and set up the room. Three days is just right, one day per person."

Yukino's suggestion piqued the interest of the two of them. Although they hadn't mentioned it before, they had been making plans for their new home and imagining how they wanted to decorate it.

"However, if each person gets one day, how should we arrange it?" Sister Xiaojing's question instantly chilled the atmosphere between the three of them.

......

Two minutes later, three slips of paper were placed in front of the three people, each marked with a number: one, two, or three. They crumpled the three slips into balls and threw them into a small cardboard box next to them.

She picked it up, shook it, and put it back in the middle: "That's fair, it all depends on luck."

"I've always been lucky." Sister Xiaojing smiled and took out a crumpled piece of paper.

“Me too.” Yukino replied, quickly picking up a crumpled piece of paper.

"Let's have a competition then." With that, Shiyu took out the last crumpled piece of paper, and the three of them sat around it and opened it together.

----------

The next morning, Shizuka left early because she had a meeting. Yukiteru, on the other hand, had breakfast with Yukino and then leisurely went out.

Yeah, I was still in a bad mood when I woke up this morning.

Sitting in the car, Yukiteru looked at Yukino beside him. Although she was expressionless as always, Yukiteru, who had spent a lot of time with Yukino, could tell that she was not in a good mood.

"What's wrong? Why the long face?" She shifted her position, moved closer to Yukino, and put her arm around her, asking softly.

Being hugged so suddenly made Yukino blush a little, but she quickly recovered: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about buying furniture?"

"furniture?"

Yukino nodded and said, "We've decided that each of us will spend one day over these three days choosing furniture to decorate our rooms, and you'll accompany us the whole time."

"Of course, I'll definitely be there for something so important. But what's there to be unhappy about?"

After a few seconds of silence, Yukino said, "The three of us will draw lots to decide the order, and I'll be the last one."

Who was the first one?

"Poetry Feather".

Well, Yukiteru finally understands the whole story. He thought it was something serious. But it seems they reached the same conclusion together. Yukino is just a little upset that she didn't get the first one.

Wait, the third one is on Friday, so I can make some plans...

And so, on his way to school, Xuehui began a series of plans, his little schemes running wild.

Upon arriving at the school gate, the two got out of the car and walked into the campus as usual, a sight that seemed unsurprising to those around them.

However, as noon approached and Yukino and Yukino were on their way to have lunch with Utaha and Shizuka, the people's gazes became increasingly strange.

"Is there anything dirty on my face or body?" Yukiteru asked Yukino, while looking himself over from all angles.

“Nothing strange, they’re looking at me too. What’s going on?” Yukino said, feeling completely bewildered, without a single useful clue.

Until the two of them met up with Shiyu and Sister Xiaojing.

In the Service Club's classroom, four people sat looking at a newspaper in front of them.

"The General Martial Arts Academy Newspaper? When did our school get something like this?" Xuehui looked at the newspaper in front of him, feeling a bit strange. He also didn't know why Sister Xiaojing had brought this over.

"That's not what I wanted to talk about. Look at the newspaper." After saying this, Xiaojing opened her lunchbox and started eating. Shiyu did the same, but her expression was definitely a bit...unhappy?

Without much thought, Yukiteru and Yukino started reading the newspaper together.

A comprehensive summary of preparations for the Sports Festival? No problem, it's well-written.

Guessing the school trip destination? Yes, the school trip is coming soon, that's great!

Um...

Looking at the content on the bottom right corner of the page, Xuehui realized he couldn't laugh anymore.

Shocking! A beautiful girl from Soubu High School, suspected of living with her boyfriend, did this!

My god! Who came up with this headline? I'm reporting to UC tomorrow!

The title is secondary; the main thing is the accompanying picture, which features himself and Yukino!

There are photos of Yukiteru and Yukino holding hands on their way to school, as well as photos of them walking and chatting together to their club after class. There are even photos of them going grocery shopping together on Monday!

From holding hands while picking out items to checking out and leaving the supermarket, everything is provided.

Thankfully, the kind of suggestive photo mentioned in the title didn't appear; everything was just the author's speculation based on the photo. Although the guesses were entirely correct, it could indeed be considered cohabitation.

After reading it, Yukino was speechless. Yukiteru picked up the newspaper, read it through again from beginning to end, and then looked at Shizuka-neechan: "Who published this newspaper? A club? Or the student council?"

"I'm not sure, but it was posted on bulletin boards everywhere after the first class today. By now, all the students should have seen it." Sister Xiaojing swallowed the food in her mouth and talked about what she knew that morning.

"Then why are you only telling me now?"

"I only found out from my colleagues. You're my cousin, so several teachers came to ask me about the details." Xiaojing's older sister looked helpless, indicating that she couldn't help.

However, compared to Sister Xiaojing, Shiyu's reaction was a bit strange. She said rather unhappily, "So, there really is a trade-off between gains and losses?"

"???What's the meaning?"

"I want a chance to be in the newspaper, especially to appear alongside Yukiteru-kun! I want that too!"

"Go eat your food." After giving Shiyu a speechless glare, Xuehui suddenly remembered, "Newspaper, right, the news department! Isn't there a news department?"

"Um... our school doesn't have this club."

Xiaojing's answer surprised Xuehui: "That's not right. I met Kato Megumi before, and she told me that a junior invited her to visit the newspaper club."

"Really? This kind of gathering probably wasn't officially registered; it's more like an underground club or hobby group."

"But at least we have a clue." Xuehui smiled, not caring. He already knew from Kato Megumi that there was indeed a news department, and this newspaper could only have been produced by this unseen club.

The only question is why I didn't notice these photos when they were taken?

"The next step is to go and verify with Kato Megumi, and then we will have the answer."

Suddenly, his sleeve was tugged, and Yukiteru saw Yukino standing to the side with a serious expression: "I want to go too! We absolutely cannot tolerate things that expose our privacy!"

"Hmm~ Yukino's expression is so scary. It's a pity I'm not involved in this. I'd better just stick to writing my novel." Utaha glanced at Yukino and then pouted. If Yukiteru wanted to, he could definitely find that newspaper club. At most, they'd just have a little bad luck dealing with the troublesome Yukino and Yukiteru at the end. There's nothing else interesting about it. I'd rather think about buying furniture after school.

After lunch, Yukiteru returned to the classroom and shooed away Tobe Sho and the others who wanted to come closer. He then sat back down and was met with the gaze of Mr. Hikigaya next to him: "Living together, how does it feel?"

"Tch, so even you know now."

"It's hard not to know, it's posted in such a conspicuous place. Look, Yui is curious too, but it seems she can't get through to Yukinoshita on the phone."

Yuki turned his head and saw Yui Hama holding her phone and gesturing to him repeatedly.

This was an inevitable result. Yukino, who had anticipated this, decisively turned off her phone at noon, leaving Yuihama with nowhere to gossip.

This has really blown up. I'll go find Kato Megumi later and find out who exactly is in this shocking department.
