A newbie's anime life diary

A few minutes later, watching the car drive away downstairs, Xu Hui turned and went into his home. Looking at the apartment where he was all alone, he said, "Well, let's clean the place first."

Working until evening, Xuehui finally finished cleaning all the rooms. After wringing out the rags, she leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally, I'm done with all this work."

I checked my phone; it was almost dinnertime.

"However, there isn't a single ingredient or seasoning in the kitchen... Oh well, I'll just order takeout today. It's too much trouble for me to go out and buy a whole bunch of stuff all by myself."

With that, Xuehui lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Let's take a break first...

Meanwhile, in Hiratsuka Shizuka's upscale apartment.

Back home, Hiratsuka Shizuka silently kicked off her shoes, went barefoot into the living room, turned on the TV, picked up the controller, and started playing the game she hadn't finished.

As the sun set, hunger pulled her from her game world. Hiratsuka Shizuka put down the controller, turned around, and said, "It's time to make dinner. Yuki... Ah, I completely forgot he just moved out. Ugh, what am I going to do for dinner!"

Lying on the sofa, swinging her toes incessantly, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt somewhat uncomfortable in such a quiet and deserted house.

"Was that night really not a dream? Otherwise, why would they move out so quickly? Is it because they don't want to face it... Ahhh, I don't want to think about it now. I'll just order takeout. I'll start learning to cook tomorrow. No matter what, I can't always be taken care of."

Then he silently picked up his phone.

Chapter 30 Opens the Door to a New World (Just kidding)

When a person habitually places themselves in the perspective of an ordinary person, what they see will never exceed their cognitive range. They will only subconsciously seek scientific explanations for paranormal phenomena, water monsters, and snow monsters.

This is something that ordinary people, people with so-called "common sense," would do.

Xuehui knew he was in an unusual world, he had known that since the first day he arrived. Perhaps even his original world held secrets unknown to him.

Although a month has passed since he came to this world, Xuehui has been busy with school life and writing novels in preparation for his future.

Now that everything is settled, it's finally time to explore the other side of the world that I've always longed for.

The day after moving out and returning to his own home, Xuehui ate dinner and, after nightfall, put on a sweatshirt and went out.

Although he didn't know how to discover anything different, Xuehui thought for a moment and decided to start by looking at the places that few people went through.

Two hours later.

Xuehui walked out of a side path onto the street and stretched his shoulders.

"Seriously, as expected of a country where a society is legal, there are just too many thugs at night. It's only been a short time and I've already encountered three groups. Luckily, they're just lowlifes. Teaching them a lesson will fill my pockets. Could it be that I've discovered a way to get rich? Although it's not exactly a good thing, if I treat it as robbing the rich to help the poor, then it's fine, right?"

He patted his already bulging wallet. Although he hadn't discovered any supernatural events, he was still quite satisfied with filling his little stash.

After wandering around for a while, Xuehui was now getting further and further away from his home, having already walked about two blocks.

"So it's because I'm just an ordinary person after all? No matter how strong I am, it's all superficial. Although it's a little strange, I'll do it again to satisfy my curiosity."

Swallowing hard, Xuehui walked into a small path. When she came out again, she had transformed into a petite girl who was only 1.6 meters tall.

"Holy crap, I don't feel ashamed at all! What the hell is this feeling of comfort?! Am I about to open the door to a new world? No, absolutely no! Cold-blooded, I can't stay calm!"

The aloof girl speaking in a masculine tone, hidden beneath the hoodie's hood, seemed particularly incongruous.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. When we have more exchange points later, we can exchange them for other abilities and shelve this one."

Thinking this, Yukiteru, in her female form—or rather, in her transformed state—stepped onto the street. Although wearing a men's coat was somewhat conspicuous, it had already reduced most of the attention compared to her current appearance.

After all, as long as you don't cause trouble for the people of this country, they won't bother you.

Wandering around quietly, the time gradually approached midnight.

Suddenly, the body, now imbued with magical power after the transformation, resonated instinctively, and the strange sensation made Yukiteru raise his head.

On an empty street, next to a telephone pole, a small figure was squatting.

She was wearing an elementary school uniform, had her hair in pigtails, and carried a schoolbag on her back.

They should be students from a nearby primary school.

"So we finally met? But this isn't a very pleasant start..."

Xuehui sighed, slowly walked over, squatted down, and looked at the translucent little girl in front of him.

This child is a ghost.

Xuehui didn't know if heaven or the underworld existed, but he believed that even if people had souls after death, they wouldn't stay in this world.

However, I've heard some legends that say if a person has unfulfilled wishes before death, that lingering attachment will allow them to remain in the world after death.

Why is this girl still alive?

Looking at the little girl, Xuehui asked softly, "Little sister, what are you doing here?"

Xuehui looked at the other person, and the little girl was also looking at him. She originally thought the other person was searching for something, but she didn't expect that the other person could see her.

"Big sister, can you see me?"

Big sister… Xuehui’s eyes twitched. He really couldn’t refute this title. If he weren’t in this state, he wouldn’t even be able to see her.

Let's just bear with it for today...

Thinking this, Xuehui said to the little girl, "Can you...tell me why you're here? You should be dead by now, right?"

Although asking this question might be a sore point, Xuehui had no choice but to ask; he needed to know the cause and effect.

“Um…” The little girl nodded and said with a disappointed look, “I was in a car accident here on my way home from school about two weeks ago.”

Oh, is that so? I saw what looked like an elementary school nearby when I came over.

Xuehui nodded and asked, "Then can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Mei Hui, what's your name, sister?" The little girl named Mei Hui was very happy to finally meet someone she could see.

"Just call me Xuehui," Xuehui replied with a smile, then said, "Can you tell me why you're still here? Logically speaking, a person's soul shouldn't remain in the human world after death."

“I don’t know either… I lost consciousness after being hit by a car. When I woke up, I found myself here. Nobody could see me, and no one responded to anything I said. I couldn’t leave even for a moment. It’s only now that I’ve met you, sister, who can see me.”

Xuehui listened to the little girl's answer and seemed to be deep in thought.

Are they earthbound spirits? I have a serious lack of knowledge about this. But if they are earthbound spirits, they must be formed because of unfulfilled wishes.

Thinking of this, Xuehui asked, "Mihui, before that, were there any wishes of yours that you hadn't fulfilled?"

"desire?"

“That’s right, a wish.” Xuehui nodded. “Because you still have a wish that hasn’t been fulfilled, you’re trapped here and can’t be reincarnated. Think carefully, is there anything you wanted to accomplish but didn’t do before?”

“A wish…” Meihui lowered her head and pondered, then suddenly put down her schoolbag and rummaged through it. She took out an envelope and said to Xuehui, “This! It’s homework the teacher gave us in class. We were supposed to write a letter to our parents and give it to them! But I didn’t have time to write it before it turned into this, so I can only write it here.”

Is this her obsession? But if she doesn't encounter special groups of people, she really can't help them.

Since we've run into each other, let's lend a hand.

After making the decision, Xuehui said, "Mihui, I can't take you to meet your parents, but I can help you deliver your letter."

"Really?" Miho exclaimed with delight, but her expression quickly soured. "But others won't be able to see this letter..."

"Um... this is a bit troublesome," Xuehui thought, placing his hand on the envelope.

Then, something surprising happened. With a flash of light, the translucent envelope that was originally in Miho's hand became solid and appeared in his hand.

"Although I don't know the underlying principle, it seems like it can be done."

Looking at the envelope in their hands, the two smiled at each other.

Let's start with the Otherworld, and think carefully about which worlds would be most fun to add.

P.S.: I bought the PS4 version of Ys VIII yesterday, and the 8,60fps HD version is incredibly smooth. The PS Vita version is just garbage!

Chapter 31 An Encounter

After taking the envelope from the girl, Xuehui left the street under her expectant gaze.

After obtaining the address, Xuehui took out her phone and quickly arrived at an apartment building following the map's directions. She went up the stairs to the third floor and rang the doorbell for apartment 206.

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard, and someone stopped behind the door. Upon seeing a little girl, the person opened the door.

'It seems there are some advantages to this approach; at least it avoids being rejected by some people.'

As Xuehui thought this, he watched the door slowly open. Behind the door was a young woman wearing pajamas and a coat, but her face was filled with a deep sense of melancholy.

"Excuse me, little sister, is there anything I can help you with?" the woman asked Xuehui.

Although I do look like a woman now, I still feel really uncomfortable...

Xuehui breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the other person, saying, "I met a little girl on the road just now and learned some things. She had a letter that she asked me to give to you."

As he spoke, he took out the envelope and handed it to the woman.

On the envelope were a few delicate words.

'For Mom and Dad'

Upon seeing the familiar handwriting, the woman was so shocked that her eyes quickly turned red.

"Take a good look; this is her last wish."

Having said all that, Xuehui knew the other party had already guessed, so he didn't linger any longer and turned to leave without waiting for the other party to speak.

A few minutes later, the sound of a young couple crying softly came from one of the apartments.

However, none of this mattered to Yukiteru.

When he returned to that street, he only had time to see the glimmer of light dissipate in the spot, and within it, a cheerful smiling face.

"This world isn't as exciting as I thought..."

After muttering something to himself, Xuehui found a secluded corner, transformed back to his original form, and slowly walked towards home.

It was already 1 a.m. when he got home. He didn't do anything extra. He washed his face and lay down on the bed. The fatigue from the transformation made him fall asleep quickly.

"Damn, this feels so bad..."

The next day, Xuehui was awakened by pain. An indescribable pain spread through his body, which was more unbearable than the simple fatigue he had experienced before.

"Is this some kind of cheat ability? Even the Seven Injury Fist isn't this bad... Hmm? It's already 12 o'clock? He's sleeping so soundly."

After stretching his slightly sore limbs, Xuehui slowly walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the hot water wash over his body, which made him feel a little better.
