A newbie's anime life diary

"I was just organizing the photos on the memory card I confiscated from Hata Ranko, deleting some things. Do you want to take a look?"

"Doing this to me while asking if I want to look at something else? Yukiteru-kun, you really are wicked... um..."

With a seductive moan, Shiyu instantly tensed her thighs. Just as she was speaking, Xuehui's hand had already slipped under her nightgown.

Unfortunately, her nightgown was a very short one, extremely alluring, and Xuehui's mischievous actions were clearly visible to everyone.

"Hey, what is Yukino doing?"

Hearing Xuehui's sudden question, Shiyu suppressed the strange feeling coming from her body and whispered, "After taking a shower, she went to her bedroom to study. She's much more diligent than you."

"Are you in the room...?"

After muttering something, Xuehui, with a mischievous grin, picked up Shiyu and placed her on the large desk, which still had plenty of empty space.

The suddenness of the situation startled Shiyu, but she quickly realized what Xuehui was trying to do and blushed as she asked, "In...in the study?"

“We haven’t done it anywhere other than the bedroom, have we? Anyway, it’s our own home, and it’s just Shizuka and Yukino. They’re not coming over right now. The soundproofing in the house is very good, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

As he bent down to explain, Xuehui licked Shiyu's chest, savoring the faint fragrance—it was truly irresistible.

Hearing Xuehui's words, Shiyu was actually somewhat tempted. She was usually quite open and flirtatious in front of Xuehui, but the sudden change of venue made our Miss Shiyu a little nervous.

"What if Yukino comes looking for me? That would be...too embarrassing!"

"It's okay. Yukino is very serious when she studies. She won't finish in less than an hour or two. We'll go back to the bedroom when it's almost time."

Xuehui spoke, trying to reassure Shiyu, while his hands never stopped moving. He was now quite experienced, and he knew exactly where to arouse Shiyu's desire most quickly.

However, there was one more thing he didn't tell Shiyu.

What if Yukino comes looking for us...wouldn't that be even better?

Okay, he admitted that his thoughts were a bit wicked, but what could he do? Every man has had those thoughts, right? Putting two beautiful girls, who belong only to him, into one bed.

However, not to mention the shy Yukino, even Utaha and Shizuka-neechan simply did not accept such a suggestion, and still insisted that Yukiteru only accompany one person at a time.

Xuehui wouldn't be too forceful in these matters and had to consider their thoughts, so some evil ideas accumulated.

Of course, he wouldn't let the opportunity pass him by if it really came his way.

'I guess we'll just have to leave it to fate. Right now, the most important thing is Shiyu.'

With these thoughts in mind, Xuehui began his wonderful nightlife for the evening.

Gintama is showing today, I'll try to see it sometime. Has anyone seen it?

Chapter 160 It seems they've almost forgotten they're from the inside.

Recently, Xuehui felt that his health was deteriorating day by day, but he specifically checked himself out and found that there was nothing wrong.

It seems to be psychological; the idea that I'm physically exhausted is simply not true!

Yukihiro woke up in Shiyu's room in the morning and, feeling his still energetic body, confirmed the question once again.

'However, to prevent that kind of problem in the future, we still need to pay attention to some things, such as diet and exercise. Speaking of which... how long has it been since I went out for a morning workout?'

Holding Shiyu's captivating body in his arms, Xuehui felt that he was becoming increasingly decadent.

Glancing around, she noticed there weren't any torn black stockings scattered around the room today, which was the first time in a while. You see, since moving in, Shiyu had been going out to buy new black stockings much more frequently.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The allure of long, black-stockinged legs is something you never get tired of, no matter how many times you see it.

However, since we started in the study last night, I surprisingly forgot about the black stockings after all that. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

"Oh no, the more I think about it, the more awake I become... I should get up and exercise."

With an embarrassed expression, Xuehui could only gently release his grip on Shiyu, lift the covers, get out of bed, and put on his clothes.

"Hmm..." Because she was suddenly sleeping alone, Shiyu woke up groggily and sat up to look at Xuehui, who was standing by the bed getting dressed. "Is it morning already?"

"It's only 6 o'clock, sleep a little longer. I'm going out to exercise." After putting on his pajamas, Xuehui sat on the edge of the bed, kissed Shiyu's forehead, pressed her back onto the bed while she was still sleepy, covered her with the blanket, and then left the room.

Watching the door close, Shiyu pulled the blanket tighter around herself on the bed, lying on her side and muttering to herself, "I wonder when I'll have a baby. It has to be the first one, hehehe..."

The house is still very quiet. On weekends, even Yukino chooses to sleep in for an extra hour and enjoy a leisurely life, not to mention Shizuka, who prefers to stay at home on weekends.

After a quick wash, Xuehui went back to his bedroom to change into sportswear and then went out to jog around the nearby green belt.

With his current physical strength, he wouldn't feel anything running one or two laps, so he exercised for more than an hour, lap after lap.

Having worked up a good sweat, Xuehui slowly walked back.

When I got downstairs, I saw the car that my assistant Matsumoto was driving.

Matsumoto, who was waiting in the car, immediately got out when he saw Yukiteru return and came to him: "I'm sorry, Young Master Yukiteru, for bothering you again on the weekend."

"Something must have happened? It's okay, I've already been slacking off." Shaking her head, Xuehui didn't seem to have any objections. "It must be something pretty big, considering that Sister Huangquan didn't come to school all day yesterday."

“Yes, something did happen. Miss Huangquan was busy all day yesterday, but there were some unexpected events today, so we have to urgently need more manpower.” Matsumoto nodded and then said, “Young Master Yukiteru, you should go upstairs and prepare. It would be good to also tell Miss Yukino and the other two that we will probably be busy all day today.”

"All day? I understand. Just a moment, I'll be right down."

After speaking with Matsumoto, Yukiteru went straight upstairs.

Back home, after taking a shower and changing his clothes, Xuehui didn't rush to leave but instead started making breakfast.

After quickly preparing the food and eating a simple meal myself, I placed the food I had prepared for Yukino and the others on the dining table, sealed it with plastic wrap, left a note, and then left the house.

Sitting in the speeding car, Xuehui felt that he was having a really comfortable time. He had spent the summer in closed training, and after returning, he went straight to school life. The only thing he did was related to a cult organization; the rest of the time he could be said to have been slacking off.

This time, it's been a long time since I've been on a mission.

Upon arriving at the association's branch, Xuehui ignored the staff outside and went straight into an office inside.

Upon opening the door, Isayama Yomi was found resting in a chair, covered with a thin coat, indicating that she hadn't slept all night.

Without disturbing her, Xuehui quietly walked to the table, picked up a stack of documents, and sat down to read them.

"Missing persons cases? These aren't uncommon; they used to be reported in the news from time to time. Hmm? Detailed information on the missing persons... all young women, all daughters of wealthy people and high-ranking officials? What's going on? Who's so bold? Locations... three in Chiba, two in Yamanashi, one in Shizuoka, three in Hiroshima... So many in just two months? Not kidnappings, and the missing persons' homes haven't received any ransom calls. Is the target the girls themselves? Rich girls, high-ranking officials... their identities..."

“Look closely, there are two unusual places where no similar disappearances have occurred.”

Just then, Yomi Isayama's voice came. Yukiteru turned his head and saw her stretching her neck with dark circles under her eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Huangquan. You said there are two special places?" Frowning, Xuehui looked at the data again, then realized the implication in the other person's words. "Wait, neither Tokyo nor Kyoto? Logically speaking, if the target is a rich girl or the son of a high-ranking official, Tokyo should be the first target, and so should Kyoto. So, you mean... the one in Kyoto?"

“It’s that fox.” Izayama Yomi nodded and sighed. “We originally expected it to take another 3-4 months before anything happened, but we didn’t expect it to be taking action already. Legend has it that Hagoromo Gitsune likes to eat raw liver, especially princesses in ancient times. Those girls all had special abilities or were of noble status. But now, it’s hard to find noble people with special abilities, so we’ve settled for second best.”

"What did the Kakeruin family in Kyoto say?"

“No movement, the seal remains intact, and the Kyoto yokai are lying dormant. It's likely they've used some means to contact yokai outside to sabotage things.” Isayama Yomi stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the now brightly lit street. “The mission I called you here for isn't too difficult. You'll be in charge of Chiba. We were already monitoring the situation when the second disappearance occurred, but unfortunately, they still succeeded. However, we've already set up a defense network, and the perpetrators are definitely still within Chiba territory. Your task is to find them and rescue the captured people.”

"Save people? I understand. As long as they're really in Chiba, we'll definitely find them."

After agreeing, Xuehui took the documents and left the room.

Before taking action, he also had to take some precautions.

Hmm... seems a bit late? Uncontrollable force majeure... uncontrollable force majeure _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 161 Before Departure

After leaving the office, Xuehui went into another empty room and took out his mobile phone.

Although Yukino and the others had given themselves protective charms—items made by gods and humans that could easily withstand an attack from a powerful youkai—there were still others who needed a reminder, especially Haruno and Eriri.

Both of these individuals come from families with members involved in business and politics, and they meet the requirements in terms of identity, age, and other aspects.

"In Chiba, both incidents are recent. Does that mean they're casting a wide net? They have teachers in Tokyo, and the Keikain family has always been very cautious in Kyoto, so they're looking elsewhere. Have they unknowingly spread their reach to the Kanto region and started causing trouble?"

With a small sigh, Xuehui sat down in the chair and dialed Yangnai's number.

The call was answered after a while, and then Yuuno's lazy voice came through: "Oh my, how strange, Yukiteru-kun actually called me? Is he secretly activating his sister-in-law line behind Yuuno's back?"

"Have you been playing too many visual novels? Get back to school, you jerk!"

After giving Hino a blunt critique, Yukiteru said irritably, "Where are you right now?"

"And you're talking about me? Your question is so ambiguous, asking a girl's location right off the bat." On the other end of the phone, Yang Nai, having also sobered up, stretched and said, "I'm at home now. I came back after class last night. By the way, I heard you did really well at the sports festival. Did you gain a lot of female fans?"

"Are you ever going to stop...?" With a sigh, Xuehui was too lazy to argue with her anymore and said directly, "If you're at home, can you tell me what your plans are for today? Of course, I'm not here to see you."

"Why are you asking if you're not looking for me?" Yang Nai was also confused by Xue Hui's question, but she still answered it anyway, "Yesterday, I made plans with a few young ladies from Chiba to go shopping together. You know how family relationships are. Aren't you coming? They're all very beautiful and capable girls, the same age as me, and still single!"

"You're sincere, aren't you... I'm asking you a very serious question!"

"I answered your question very seriously, Yukiteru-kun~" Although he couldn't see it, Yukiteru could imagine the joyful smile on Haruno's face on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, okay, that's enough. Um, you should probably cancel your plans for today." Xuehui said, letting out a breath. "I don't know if you've heard, but there have been three missing persons cases in Chiba recently."

"A missing person case? I haven't been paying much attention to things in Chiba lately, but I think I've heard someone mention it. What's wrong?" Hearing Yukiteru's words, Haruno felt that the other party wouldn't just tell her something casually, so she thought about it carefully.

"The cause of this matter is a bit complicated. To put it simply, there are three young ladies in Chiba whose status is similar to yours who have gone missing. Although they are expected to be alive and in Chiba, their situation is not good. Although I know you always have two bodyguards with you, the ones who attacked this time were not human, so just in case, you should cancel your plans. By the way, come to my house today and stay with Yukino. I can feel at ease with you there."

"Hmm? Is that so?" Although it wasn't explained in great detail, Yang Nai understood that there were many things involved, and it wasn't the time for her to make jokes. She nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll be there in a bit. As for the other people I made plans with, I'll make sure they stay home."

Xuehui nodded in agreement: "Yes, there's no need to go into too much detail. If their identities are similar, they should be able to find out some information themselves. I'll handle it right away, and if I'm lucky, it should be over in one day. Also, the car that's going to pick you up will be waiting outside your house, and there will be plenty of security personnel, so don't worry."

"With Yukiteru-kun's arrangements so thorough, I have nothing to be afraid of. Alright, I need to get ready to get up now. Yukiteru-kun, you can go do your own thing."

After hanging up the phone, Xuehui stared blankly at the wall in front of him, then sighed.

Every time I talk to Haruno, it feels quite agonizing, especially after our relationship gradually improves. I can't be too harsh with my words, so I have to resort to teasing.

After finishing speaking, Yukinari gave her assistant instructions on how to pick her up, and then dialed Eriri's number.

Hmm... no one is answering the phone.

"Ha, that's true, how could that guy possibly get up so early?" Xuehui sighed as he looked at the 9 o'clock mark on his phone, then opened another phone book, found a number named "Sawamura Sayuri," and dialed it.

"Hello, who is this?"
