A newbie's anime life diary

Xuehui picked up a towel and wiped his hands clean. He turned around, hugged Shiyu, and kissed her slightly upturned cheek.

Good morning, Shiyu.

"Yes, the morning was really great, an unprecedented experience." Shiyu squinted and smiled at Xuehui.

"Um...hehe, well, I'm sorry about last night, I lost control for a moment." Xuehui looked embarrassed, and all he could think of now was to apologize.

"There's nothing to apologize for. You're my man. But you're not allowed to think about what happened last night anymore."

Upon hearing this, Xuehui immediately nodded, as this was arguably the best possible outcome.

But Shiyu wasn't finished. She pointed upstairs and said, "I'm not that angry, but Yukino is a very shy person. If you don't handle her well, you'll be in for a world of trouble."

“Well, that makes sense.” After thinking for a moment, Yukiteru said, “I’ll take breakfast out first, and then I’ll go find Yukino.”

Several plates of breakfast were placed on the table, and Shiyu was allowed to eat first before Xuehui went upstairs to the second floor.

As soon as I came up, I saw Yukino walking out of the bedroom in her school uniform.

Upon seeing Yukiteru come up, Yukino immediately put on a poker face and prepared to walk past him downstairs without even looking at him.

"Uh, this is tricky."

Seeing Yukino's expression, even though Utaha had said that Yukino wasn't that angry, she wouldn't be giving her a pleasant look anytime soon.

However, Yukiteru didn't want to spend the whole day in this state with Yukino.

With a determined heart, Yukiteru immediately grabbed Yukino as she passed by him.

The moment she was pulled, a shy look flashed across Yukino's face, and she glared at Yukiteru: "Let go, I'm going downstairs for breakfast."

Without saying a word, Yukiteru simply grabbed Yukino's hand and pulled her into his room.

Entering the room, pinning someone against the wall, and locking the door—all in one smooth motion.

Are you still angry?

"I'm not angry, just let me out." Turning her face away, Yukino didn't dare look at Yukiteru; his apologetic expression almost made her soften. But she had to make her stance clear.

"You're clearly angry. I don't want things to stay like this, so I can only try to get your forgiveness in my own way." As he spoke, he ignored Yukino's surprised expression and kissed her directly.

Half an hour later, when everyone had gotten up, Yukino ran out of the room, her face flushed, and went into her bedroom.

Xuehui, on the other hand, shamelessly went downstairs and sat at the dining table, eating breakfast amidst everyone's strange expressions.

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen people doing morning exercises before?

Chapter 175 The Bad Places of a School Trip

Haruno, Shizuka-neechan, and Machida Sonoko were unaware that Yukino and Utaha were in Yukiteru's room last night.

When they finished washing up and came to the living room, they only saw Shiyu alone.

"Huh? Where are Yukiteru and Yukino? Have they already gone to school?" It was Shizuka who asked this, but she thought it was unlikely.

Shiyu didn't say anything, quietly eating her bun while pointing upstairs.

Hmm? Upstairs?

These people were not ignorant; even Yang Nai was a powerful eavesdropper.

However, Yang Nai pondered for a moment. In her dazed state earlier, she seemed to have heard Yukino's voice come in. Could it have been her imagination?

Xiao Jing didn't seem to feel anything, but Machida Sonoko looked upstairs with a puzzled expression, then looked at Shiyu across the street.

She wanted to ask this yesterday: Yukiteru and Yukino are obviously a couple, so why is Utaha living here?

However, since there were other people present, she didn't ask, thinking she would find another time to have a proper chat with Shiyu privately.

Finally, Yukiteru came down, and Yukino followed a few minutes later. However, compared to Yukiteru's shamelessness, Yukino sat down with her face flushed and her head down. If Yukiteru and Haruno hadn't been serving her food, Yukino probably wouldn't have even had the courage to pick up her chopsticks.

'Wasn't this a bit too much? Although they both seemed to be having a good time, it's clear they forgot about Yukino's thick skin.'

At that moment, while wiping the table, he saw the two sisters whispering to each other on the sofa, and Yukino's blushing face, which seemed to want to speak but dared not utter a word.

With a hint of curiosity, he secretly eavesdropped for a bit.

"Although I know you two have a good relationship, you still need to know how to exercise restraint."

"I've already told you it's not what you think, sister!"

"Well, it's not all bad, I might be able to see Yukino's child sooner!"

"..."

"..."

Not only Yukino, but even Yukiteru, who was eavesdropping, was speechless.

After getting ready, everyone went out together. Machida Sonoko had her own car, so there was no need to give her a ride.

As for Haruno, she also went to Tokyo with Machida Sonoko.

Along the way, Yukino didn't sit in the back seat this time, but instead sat in the front passenger seat. Sitting in the back, Utaha nodded at Yukiteru, then pointed at Yukino in the front, her eyes full of questions.

Xuehui could only respond with an awkward smile.

–––––––

In the classroom at school.

When Yukiteru arrived, Yui Yuigahama, who had been chatting with her friends, ran over.

"Yukiteru-kun, Yukiteru-kun, how was your party yesterday? Was it fun?"

"Something came up and I only got home yesterday afternoon. Overall, it was alright, although we all got quite drunk last night. You can ask Yukino for details. Yuihama, what about you? Didn't you say you went back to your hometown?" Looking at the curious Yuihama, Yukiteru briefly summarized yesterday's gathering and then changed the subject.

"Me? So-so. It was alright to see people from my hometown, hehe."

After chatting for a while, Sister Xiaojing walked into the classroom, and today's morning meeting began.

Originally, today's school life should have been no different from usual. However, during the last class in the afternoon, after Sister Xiaojing finished her lesson, she mentioned a piece of news that the school had just released that day.

School trip.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience in high school, and these second-year students have been looking forward to it ever since the start of the new semester. Even Ranko Hata's unofficial school newspaper had a section dedicated to this.

Today, the specific information has finally been released.

This year, the second-grade students' school trip destination is Kyoto.

Not a very good place, at least for Yukiteru. After all, he had just encountered the thousand-year-old yokai from Kyoto last night.

In the Service Club, watching Yuihama and Hikigaya discuss information about Kyoto, Yukino whispered to Yukiteru, "Kyoto, is it okay to go there? Should we use our privileges to change the destination?"

"I never expected you to suggest such a method of relying on power." After a moment of reflection, Xuehui shook his head. "I already asked about it, and it was indeed the teacher's doing. Originally, the school planned to go to places like Okinawa, but it was changed at the last minute."

At this point, he looked at Yukino and Utaha on either side of him and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'll protect you, and people from Kyoto will come looking for us as soon as we get there. The teacher just asked me to do some things along the way, so don't make a fuss."

"Really? That's good. Yukiteru-kun will have to keep a close eye on Yukino, since she's not very good at remembering directions." Seeing Yukiteru's confident statement, Utaha stopped pressing him for answers and instead started joking with Yukino, which also helped Yukiteru distract Yukino.

Yukino, though not so easily swayed, was clever enough to understand Utaha's meaning, so she went along with it and started bickering with her.

Listening to the two bickering, Xuehui smiled. It was impossible for him not to have some opinions about the arrangements for Ryougi Shiki, since there would be a lot of people attending.

Although the intention was to join forces with the Keikain family to investigate the secrets of the yokai in Kyoto, there were still many risks involved.

'Based on past experience, the Kakeruin family might have a few capable members, and their Onmyoji techniques are well-established, but I still feel they're somewhat unreliable. Well, I'll have to be careful then.'

Turning his head, Xuehui suddenly realized that one person was missing today.

A certain blonde rookie comic artist didn't come, even though I saw him this morning.

"Looking for Sawamura? I ran into him when I came here. It seemed like Aki Tomoya was talking to her about game development, and he rushed off campus. He even asked if I wanted to come along for this scriptwriting project, but I declined," Shiyu said, flipping through the manga in her hand.

"Hmm~ Is that so?" Nodding, Yukiteru recalled the scene he saw on his way back after the sports festival.

It's likely that Aki Tomoya had a new idea after talking with Kato Megumi.

As far as Yukiteru knows, the only evaluation he can give of Aki Tomoya's ongoing game is that it's just so-so.

It's not that Shiyu's scripts are bad; on the contrary, they're quite good. However, simply using them for fan-made games doesn't fully showcase their potential.

There was a lack of time, funds, and manpower. In addition, Aki Tomoya lacked the ambition that a game producer should have. Calling him a producer was really just about bringing together a group of excellent screenwriters, illustrators, and musicians.

He has a long way to go to become a qualified producer.

After a brief moment of thought, he put the matter aside and focused on discussing with everyone where they should go for fun.

Chapter 176 Successful Confession? Not a chance!

There are many places worth visiting in the Kyoto area, such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kinkaku-ji Temple, and Fushimi Inari Shrine. If you have enough time, you can even visit Arashiyama (I personally did not visit all of them).

Compared to the modernity of the Tokyo area, Kyoto has more famous traditional buildings, making it a good destination for school trips.

Furthermore, Soubu High School has always had a sufficient budget in this regard, so this trip is definitely worth looking forward to.

Even Yukino, who had been to Kyoto, was marking the places she planned to visit in the travel guide.

As for Yukiteru, although he hadn't been there before, since Yukino was already making plans, he didn't bother to pay much attention. He figured he'd definitely be with Yukino anyway. If there was anything he didn't understand, he could always ask the locals.

Although Yukiteru completely misunderstood how he used those guys...

'But speaking of school trips, isn't it time to rewatch the storyline?'

Thinking this, Xuehui felt a little helpless. If nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be such a situation, but judging from the current atmosphere in the Service Club, the way it would be handled would be quite different.

At least, that self-destructing teenager won't actually do it.

Feeling a strange gaze, Hachiman involuntarily shuddered and looked up at Yukiteru: "Are you thinking of something bad?"

"Well, no, you're just being too suspicious." Shaking his head, Xuehui looked away again. Although the self-destructing boy had stopped self-destructing, he was still exceptionally powerful in certain aspects.

For example, the ability to sense malice.

Xuehui waited in the clubroom until it was time to leave school, but no one showed up. He had no choice but to leave with everyone, feeling a little disappointed.

After locking the door and going downstairs, Yukino asked, "You seemed to have been waiting for something?"

"Huh? Did I make it that obvious?" Xuehui was taken aback, and had to explain, "I was just thinking that we haven't received any requests in a long time, and I thought that a few people should come by now, but in the end, none of them did."

"But even if you're asked to participate, you're too lazy to get involved, aren't you?" Hikigaya bluntly revealed Yukiteru's thoughts.

"Some things are better left unsaid; it's better to keep them to yourself. While slacking off can be quite comfortable, a little something different every now and then is nice, isn't it?"
