A newbie's anime life diary

This time it's not a scam, it really is back to 3k!

Chapter 200 News After Returning Home

Friendships between women can sometimes develop in strange ways. In just one meal, Nozomi Tojo had become very familiar with Utaha and the other two.

That's right. Even Utaha, who is usually hard for girls to get close to, has become familiar with Tojo Nozomi. Does she have some kind of friendly aura?

Emmm~ Judging from her appearance, she does seem quite approachable.

However, Yukiteru didn't have any objections to this. Although she had obvious flaws, as a friend, Tojo Nozomi, this shrine maiden, was still very reliable.

After a meal and a short rest, the four of them got up and left.

Before leaving the store, Yukiteru turned to Tojo Nozomi, who had come to see them off: "If you encounter anything you can't handle, I don't need to say more, right? Just go to Ryougi's place, or you can call me. Also, although I know you don't do things you're not sure of, I still want to say, good luck with Love Live!, I'll be there for the finals."

"Thank you for your kind words. See you next time, Yukiteru-kun, and the others as well." With a wave of his hand, Tojo Nozomi watched the three of them leave the store.

By this time, Muse's promotional activities had already ended, the official staff who came to take photos had left, and the store was taking a short break.

Stretching her arms, Nozomi Tojo greeted the store manager and was the last to arrive at the lounge, where the members of Muse were already gathered.

"Ah, Nozomi, has your friend left?" Honoka Kousaka asked Nozomi Tojo as she took off her maid outfit, her coat halfway on and her belly showing.

"Yeah, he just left. I didn't expect to run into him. He lives in Chiba."

"I really didn't expect that Nozomi would have a male friend. This is the first time I've seen one." Sonoda Umi, who was the first to change her clothes, asked curiously. She had been busy before and had only seen him from a distance. Now that she had some free time, she naturally wanted to find out more.

Upon hearing this, Tojo Nozomi turned around and realized everyone was staring at her. Unable to do anything else, she offered a brief explanation: "As you all know, I work part-time at a shrine, as a shrine maiden. That job was arranged for me by that boy's teacher. We're supposed to be friends, but today was only our second meeting. However, because I'm quite familiar with his teacher and his junior sister, the interaction wasn't awkward. My advice is, don't be too curious; that guy is quite the playboy."

"Oh my god!!!!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

"Achoo!" At the same time, on the streets of Akihabara, Yukiteru suddenly sneezed.

"Someone must be talking badly about me behind my back, and it's probably that Demon King hope."

"You guessed so accurately? And why is it called Demon King hope?" Shi Yu, who was walking beside her, asked with some doubt.

After rubbing her nose to make sure there wouldn't be a second time, she said, "Don't think that her true nature is the same as when she was in the store. That girl has obvious yuri tendencies and is a breast-groping maniac. Saeko-nee and Yomi-nee have both fallen for her tricks."

On the other side, Sawamura Sayuri was even more surprised: "A popular school idol, has such a hobby? That girl is really interesting. Yukiteru-kun, do you think she might be the seme?"

"Ah, absolutely, and he's a cunning seme. As for the uke, it's that blonde girl, Ayase Eli. In an all-girls school, this isn't surprising, and Tojo Nozomi has always had some tendencies like that." Shrugging, Yukiteru discussed the topic without a care, since he was certain that the other party had been gossiping about him before.

"Huh?! In that case, will there be a problem with my fortune telling just now?!" Eriri, compared to Tojo Nozomi's sexual orientation, was more concerned about her own fortune telling.

In response, Xuehui offered some reassurance: "Don't worry, she is a professional shrine maiden after all. Putting aside everything else, she still has some professional ethics when she does things. If she says she'll be serious, she means it, so there's no need to worry about the divination results. Of course, divination is only one aspect in the end; ultimately, you still have to rely on yourself."

"I...I know! At least knowing gives me some confidence." Eriri retorted with a slightly flushed face, then fell silent.

As they walked, the four reached an intersection, and Xuehui asked the mother and daughter beside him, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Next?" Sawamura Sayuri repeated, her eyes gleaming with a strange light. "Next, of course, is the main event! Hehehe..."

With that look, one could say it's no wonder she's developed the aura of a homebody over the years? Eriri was so frightened that she immediately hid behind Yukiteru.

"Hmm." Seemingly realizing she had gone a bit too far, Sayuri immediately composed herself, concealing her expression before saying, "It seems Eriri isn't coming with me. So, Yukiteru-kun, I'll have to ask you to look after Eriri for the rest of the time. About two hours should be enough, right?"

Yukiteru glanced at Sayuri Sawamura, then at Eriri behind him who absolutely refused to go to the women's-oriented shop with her mother. After exchanging glances with Shiho, he nodded in agreement after receiving Shiho's consent: "Alright then, don't stay out too late, Shiho and I have to go back to Chiba later."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't delay." Waving her hand, Sawamura Sayuri immediately turned to head towards her destination. "Well then, I'll leave Eriri in your care~"

Watching Sayuri's cheerful steps and her departing figure, Yukiteru glanced at Eriri, who had come to his side: "Having a mother like this must be exhausting, right?"

"...It's alright. After all, apart from being a bit eccentric and yaoi-ish at times, I'm quite competent most of the time, and I'm used to it." With a helpless smile, Eriri looked at Yukiteru, then glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was staring at her, and said, "From now on, you guys can just relax and have fun. Just treat me like I'm invisible."

This time, however, Shiyu didn't go along with Eriri's words to bully her. Instead, she said, "Don't treat us like people who like to bully others, okay? Your mother asked us to take care of you, so of course we have to fulfill our responsibilities."

Then, seeing Eriri's delighted expression, the tone abruptly changed: "Then let's go, Eriri-kun, don't fall behind!"

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! I thought you'd changed your personality!!!"

Meanwhile, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, Sayuri Sawamura strolled into the women's section of a game store. As she browsed through the game discs, she muttered to herself, "Fortune telling, huh? It sounds plausible, but it doesn't sound like it's about Tomoya-kun at all. Could it really be him? Or perhaps...?"

----------

In the evening, after waiting for Sayuri Sawamura to return with her purchases, Yukiteru and Utaha said goodbye to the mother and daughter, one satisfied and the other exhausted, as they planned to eat out, and took a car back to Chiba.

Originally, I wanted to go to Shio's parents' house, but Shizuka and Yukino have already returned, so the plan has to be postponed by one day.

When I returned from grocery shopping, Yukino and Shizuka had just changed their clothes and made tea; the timing was perfect.

After dinner, the four of them sat on the sofa and talked about what had happened that day.

What was interesting about Yukiteru's side was that he ran into Eriri and her daughter, as well as Muse. Yukino, on the other hand, was quite normal. Since she no longer had to worry about the so-called arranged marriage, staying at home had become much more relaxing.

Only Sister Xiaojing seemed to have something very important to say.

However, after everyone had finished speaking and all eyes were on her, Sister Xiaojing became a little timid.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't say anything. Matsumoto and the other guy are with us too, right? It'll be the same if I ask them."

"No, no, no, I'll tell you, okay!" Xiaojing hurriedly grabbed Xuehui's hand holding the phone, sighed, and said, "Well, my mom does know."

"Did my aunt object?"

"Um...not really." Scratching her cheek, Xiaojing blushed for the first time ever, and said, "Well, I have a question for you guys. At 27, am I considered an advanced maternal age? My mom keeps telling me I'm getting old and should hurry up and have a baby..."

"......" x3

Yukino and Utaha never expected things to turn out this way. They were going to have a baby without even talking? What kind of crazy thing is this?

Xuehui sighed and said, "As expected, it's still as unexpected as ever, my aunt. So, Sister Jing, what are your plans? Strictly speaking, given your physical condition, there's not much difference between 27 and 20 years old, so there's no need to worry about it."

"I know, but my mom said so, what can I do? She also strictly told me that I have to bring the baby back next year at this time, or I'll be in big trouble. But I don't want a baby!" With a bitter face, Sister Xiaojing lowered her head, touched her lower abdomen, and asked Xuehui, "I've been wanting to ask, I haven't seen you do any precautions, how come you haven't gotten pregnant yet? Could it be that you did something?"

Upon hearing this, Yukino and Utaha also looked at Yukiteru. They realized what he meant; indeed, under these circumstances, the number of people in the family should have increased long ago, but there was still no sign of it.

Yukiteru, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, turned his head away and whispered, "Please, Yukino and Utaha are still students, so it's best if they don't have children. Shizuka-nee, didn't you say you didn't want any yourself? This is no problem at all."

"Sigh~ This is really convenient! But since that's how it is, then starting today, don't use this method on me anymore. It's just a child, it's not a difficult thing. Come on, let's make a baby!"

With a slap on her thigh, Xiaojing immediately stood up, grabbed Xuehui, and headed into the room, leaving Yukino and Shiwa dumbfounded, completely stunned.

It's been a while since I've reached 3,000 words. I'll still post two updates today, and I'll try three tomorrow.

Chapter 201 Preparations for Childbirth

After a full ten seconds, the two finally reacted and rushed out, catching Xuehui and his companion who were about to enter the room.

Fortunately, Xuehui hadn't intended to start so directly and was just about to pull Xiaojing aside. Clearly, this young lady was driven to desperation by her mother's nagging.

Back in the living room, Xiaojing, her face flushed, lay sprawled on Xuehui's lap, clutching a cushion: "Ahhh! What should we do?!"

"It would be better to discuss this matter properly." Yukino said this with a faint blush on her face. Clearly, having children was a bit too advanced for her, and she hoped to wait until she was older before moving on to the next stage.

However, Shi Yu then expressed a different opinion: "I think it's a good idea. After all, Sister Jing is getting on in years, and it would also be a good opportunity for us to learn something, so we won't be completely clueless when the time comes."

Even so, Shiyu still felt a little regretful, since she had initially planned to be the first one. But now that Sister Xiaojing was facing this issue, Shiyu had no choice but to make some concessions.

"Oh, by the way, wait for me a moment." After saying that, Shi Yu got up and went upstairs. She returned to her room, took out her laptop, put it on the coffee table, and opened a document.

"I had collected some information before, intending to use it later, but it has come in handy ahead of time."

Turning the screen around, Xuehui and the others crowded around.

Preconception Care Guide

"..."

Xuehui glanced at Shiyu, whose gaze was somewhat unfocused, and thought to herself, "You're so unpredictable! You didn't even tell me. Luckily, I took precautions, otherwise I would have been in for a lot of surprises."

Of course, Xuehui doesn't dislike children; he just feels it's a bit too early now.

Seemingly unable to bear Xuehui's gaze, Shiyu hummed in response and said, "I'm just being prepared, so I looked up a lot of relevant information beforehand. Don't worry, it's all from medical websites, so there won't be any mistakes. If you're mentally prepared, just follow the instructions. Given your health, you should be able to finish it quickly."

Wow!!! That's amazing!

While clapping her hands, Sister Xiaojing watched intently.

five minutes later...

"Ugh!!! Can't we even eat raw seafood anymore? Sashimi, oysters, and everything else!!! I've already quit smoking and drinking, isn't that enough?"

Looking at the list of distressing suggestions above—quitting this, preventing that, supplementing this, supplementing that—Sister Xiaojing lay down again and said, "Why is having a baby so difficult?"

"These are all very basic things, after all, we have to be responsible for our offspring. But you can go to the hospital for a check-up first to see the specific situation." Yukino had also seen the contents above, but she didn't show any surprise. After all, the health of the parents is very important for the offspring they have, and information about this has become more and more widespread in recent years.

After thinking about Yukino's suggestion, Shizuka had no choice but to agree. It was just a physical exam; her body had always been in great shape, and there couldn't possibly be any problems.

night.

Although the baby-making plan has been postponed, Xuehui still went to Xiaojing's room tonight.

Yukino and Utaha, on the other hand, went to a room together tonight.

With the bedside lamp on and them snuggled in bed together, Shiyu lay on her side and looked at Yukino beside her, saying, "What, not ready yet?"

"Of course! I'm only 17, okay? Yukiteru is too. We're both too young. There's no need to rush." ​​Yukino glanced at Utaha with a hint of certainty and asked, "You...you wouldn't have been planning to do this all along, would you?"

"Hmph~" Shi Yu chuckled smugly, sat up, and said, showing off her figure, which even her nightgown couldn't hide, "Of course, bearing a child for Xuehui-kun is something I've been planning all along. Haven't you seen how careful I am with my diet? I just didn't expect Xuehui-kun to have secretly done something to me. I was wondering why there was no progress."

"...You're still a student, isn't that inappropriate?" Looking at Shiyu's expression, Yukino didn't know what to say. It was indeed difficult to stop her from having such thoughts; it was a normal desire for a girl. If Yukino hadn't been self-aware and thought about waiting until she was old enough, she might have done the same.

Utaha didn't seem to care about Yukino's question. Instead, she said, "What's the big deal? It's not uncommon for pregnant women to go to school these days, and it's not uncommon for high school couples to be together. Besides, we're not short of money, and our grades are perfectly fine. At worst, we'll just have to take a break from school for a while."

"...There's no way to refute it."

“However, it seems we’ll have to postpone the plan for now. Let Jing-jie go first. I heard childbirth is very painful, so let her experience it first and we can learn from her experience.” As she spoke, Shiyu lay back down in bed and snuggled up to Yukino, saying, “If it’s our turn, it’ll be at least a year from now. How about we arrange who goes first?”

Utaha was always more thick-skinned than Yukino when it came to discussing this kind of topic, so as soon as she said this, Yukino immediately turned away: "Let's talk about it later, I don't have any plans for that yet."

"Hmm... I see. Okay then, but it's also possible that they'll happen at the same time."

"No way! Turn off the lights!"

"Okay, okay~"
