A newbie's anime life diary

The bedside lamp was turned off, and the bedroom finally fell into silence, except in Xiaojing's room, where the two of them were still making love.

------

School trips and weekend breaks are coming to an end, and it's finally time to go back to school.

The requests from Tobe Sho and Ebina Hina were only half completed, as many things went wrong along the way.

However, none of that matters now. Hayama Hayato and his group are getting along as usual, and as for when the next conflict will erupt, no one knows.

With Monday approaching, another school-wide event began.

Student council re-election.

This year, the student council president, Shiromaru, is about to step down, and her last task is to elect the next student council president.

The announcement for the student council election was posted on Monday. Students were discussing who would be the next student council president.

In the afternoon, the Service Department.

Yukiteru propped his head up with one hand, leaned against the table, and said to Yukino beside him, "So, the student council election is over~ Don't you really want to run for election?"

Yukino had anticipated Yukiteru's response and replied without much reaction, "Haven't we discussed this topic before? If we do this, the club won't be able to continue. Unless you want to..."

“That’s right, it’s this unless.” He snapped his fingers, calling over Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama, who had been slacking off and eavesdropping. “Yui Yuigahama said before that she didn’t want this club to disappear, right?”

Yuihama thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's right! Although I know that if Yuki runs for student council president, she will definitely do a great job, I don't want this club to disappear!"

“I understand Yuihama’s concerns, but the solution is actually quite simple.”

Seeing Yukiteru's confident expression, Hachiman's quick mind immediately realized a possibility, and he instantly shook his head in horror: "No, absolutely not! I don't want to see something like this happen!"

"Hachiman, what's wrong with you? Yuki-kun hasn't even told you yet and you already know?" Yui looked at Hachiman with great surprise.

Swallowing hard, Hachiman said, "This guy wants Yukinoshita to become the student council president so he can pull all of us into the student council. That way, the Service Club won't be disbanded; instead, it will have a better way to accept commissions. Is that right?"

Nodding, Yuki looked at Hachiman with admiration: "As expected of you, you came up with it so quickly. What do you think? It's a great idea, isn't it? And it's for the student council, so it'll look really good on your resume!"

However, Hachiman was clearly not buying it, staring at him with his dead fish eyes and saying, "Sorry, my future wish is to be a stay-at-home dad. My resume and such are not very relevant to me. I just want to go to school and study peacefully."

"Is that so? Then it seems that the heavy responsibility of the work will fall on Yuihama's shoulders from now on." As she spoke, Yukiteru focused her gaze on Yuihama. "I heard from Komachi before that Yuihama had met Hikigaya's parents, right? Although it was just an accident."

"Huh? Ah! That...hehehe..." The topic suddenly turned to her, and Yuihama blushed with panic, while Hachiman secretly berated his traitorous younger sister.

However, what Xuehui said is true; he does have some nice dreams for his future, and Yuihama is one of them. But wait, asking her to go out and work... with her personality, she'd probably be fired every few days.

"So, does this mean I'm inevitably going to have to work hard in university and then go to work? It's not very realistic to leave it to Yui." Hikigaya said, slapping his forehead. No wonder Komachi always urged him to go to a good university; so that's what she meant!

"What?! Am I really that useless?!"

Yuihama's protest prompted all three of them to nod in agreement.

Okay, we've gotten a bit off-topic. Let's get back to the point. Yukiteru looked at the two of them and said, "So, if Yukino wins the election, will you join the student council?"

"Yes! I want to join! Although I know I don't have much ability, I want to help Yuki!" Yuihama was the first to raise her hand and said seriously.

Seeing her like this, Hachiman could only sigh deeply and say, "We've been tricked."

After seeing that the two agreed, Yukiteru looked at Yukino, who hadn't said anything, and said, "Well, we all support you. Go and achieve something so we can see for ourselves. By the way, surpass your sister and let her see what you've got."

Yukino glanced at Hikigaya and Yuihama, then at Yukiteru, who had always been by her side, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Then let's give it a try."

This is the second update. Although it's only 1000 words longer than the previous one, it was really hard to write. A chapter of 2000 words takes me about 40 minutes to write, but this one took me an hour and a half, and even longer if I took breaks in between...

Also, there will be a late update tomorrow.

Chapter 202 Get it Back

The deadline for registering for the student council president election is this Friday, so Yukino isn't in a hurry to fill out the form and register right away. Luckily, there's a teacher at home, so she'll go check on things tonight.

Eriri didn't come to the Service Club today. It seems she was called away by Aki Tomoya to discuss game concept art, and left school after class.

As for Shiyu, Xuehui was coming to her house tonight, so she left early to help her mother prepare dinner. Although her cooking skills hadn't improved much since she'd been away from home for a while, she still wanted her mother to see some progress.

Therefore, the Service Department today is just the original standard setup, with four people doing their own thing while waiting for commissions to come to them.

However, it seemed that everyone was discussing the election today, and after more than half an hour, no delegation had been made. So after discussing it for a while, everyone left early.

Just as they were leaving the school, a girl with a stiff expression was being led by several of her classmates to the faculty office...

After getting into two separate cars with Yukino at the school gate, Yukiteru went to Utaha's house. Yukiteru was quite familiar with Utaha's parents, so he didn't feel awkward when he arrived. They had a pleasant dinner together, chatted for a while, and then Yukino went home with him.

"It seems you're becoming more and more relaxed at my house."

On the way back, Shiyu leaned on Xuehui's shoulder, her face beaming. Although there were many things she couldn't be honest with her parents about, they were getting along so well now that Shiyu didn't ask for anything more. Besides, Xuehui had said he would find a way to solve any future problems, so there was no need for her to worry. The anxiety and unease she had felt before had gradually disappeared over the past few days.

When I got home, I saw Yukino and Utaha each holding a teacup and a cat in their arms, leisurely watching TV.

"Have you settled things regarding the student council election?"

After putting down his schoolbag, Xuehui went over and picked up some snacks from the table to eat. He had bought a lot when he came back from Kyoto, so he could eat them for a few days.

"Weren't you full from that family feast?" Shiyu looked at Xuehui speechlessly, then picked up a bean cake and started eating it in small bites.

No girl would refuse desserts.

Seeing Shiyu's actions, Xuehui rolled his eyes, threw the small bean cake into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it: "Isn't this what you guys learned? Desserts are stored in another stomach. Hmm, it tastes pretty good, have another one."

"I almost forgot you're a total foodie too." Shizuka chuckled, then quickly grabbed one and held it in her hand before answering Yukiteru's question. "What's there to say about the student council election? Although there will be some first-year candidates, there aren't many who are truly competitive, let alone the second-years. Honestly, who can compare to Yukino? There are no competitors at all~ As long as Yukino runs the election smoothly, she'll definitely win. I even think that if the third-year student council president knew that Yukino was running, she'd probably just pre-select her."

When Shizuka mentioned it, Yukiteru remembered that the current student council president, Kagehiro, was someone Haruno had mentored when she was president. He had always held high expectations for his senior's younger sister, Yukino.

However, according to what Sister Xiaojing said, even if it's not predetermined, it's practically a sure thing.

"It seems Yukino should consider the student council's policy after being elected."

Upon hearing this, Yukino glanced at him indifferently and said, "Do you think you can escape this? Don't forget you're going to join too, so why not just be the vice president?"

"Um... could you tell me first what the vice president of the student council mainly does?"

Yukino didn't answer, but Shizuka, who was standing next to her, acted as a good explainer: "The vice president's job is not that complicated. She records the student council's schedule and carries out the president's instructions."

Isn't this just pure manual labor?!

At this point, Shizuka glanced at Yukiteru, whose expression wasn't very good, and then said to Yukino, "Yukino, let me tell you a principle: the lowest level labors with physical strength, the middle level labors with intelligence, and the highest level labors with manpower."

This was said in Japanese after being translated, but Yukino still understood the general meaning. She immediately put on a look of sudden realization and looked at Yukiteru: "I understand, it is indeed a wise saying. If I am elected, I will make good use of this vice president and not give him a chance to slack off."

"Tsk, all you do is bully me."

After muttering something in annoyance, Xuehui could only bury his head in his food, thinking that he would definitely get his revenge in bed later for the oppression he was suffering!

It seems like this is the only time he can bully them. I don't know if it's lucky or tragic...

In conclusion, with Shizuka's explanation, Yukino's election process should not encounter any difficulties.

If there were any potential candidates, Eriri might be the only one, as only she could rival Yukino in popularity among the second-year students. However, it's highly unlikely that Eriri would participate in the election; firstly, she lacks the relevant talent, and secondly, she simply doesn't have the time due to her manga-drawing commitments.

"By the way, Jing-jie, are you going to the physical exam we talked about yesterday?"

While sipping tea and stroking the vanilla that had slipped from Xiaojing's hand onto his lap, Xuehui recalled their conversation from the previous night.

"Although I feel fine, I'll still go, but Yukiteru, you have to come with me."

"Hmm? I'll go with you? That's no problem, I'll make the arrangements. The hospitals in Chiba... public ones might be crowded on weekends, and I don't know much about the private ones, let's go directly to one in Tokyo. I'll have someone make an appointment, that way we won't have to wait in line."

After thinking it over, Xuehui decided on a time to take Xiaojing for a physical examination. As for which hospital to go to, he happened to run into a rich girl from a private hospital over the weekend, so he decided to go there.

"Tokyo?" Shiyu's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "Nishikino General Hospital, right? That girl is quite cute."

"The location is right, but I don't have any dirty thoughts. I just know that the standards there are good, and I've heard that wealthy people go there for checkups and treatments." Xuehui explained, taking a leisurely sip of tea.

He wasn't lying, of course. He wasn't the type to flirt with every girl he met; he didn't have that much time or energy. Besides, the Muse group was involved in all sorts of cross-dressing lesbian relationships. Although they seemed innocent, sometimes it really was a messy situation in every sense of the word.

Remember Storm in Lover? With lyrics by Umi Sonoda and music by Maki Nishikino, it profoundly reflected the various interwoven yuri storylines within the muse. Of course, there were also songs like Glass Garden; while it's unclear if these will appear here, Yukiteru clearly understands their underlying meaning.

It's best not to get involved in such a group. Having contact with Tojo Nozomi is already the limit.

Xuehui's explanation was reasonable and well-founded, and his previous behavior did not contradict what he said, so Shiyu stopped talking and just flirted a little to let it go.

However, Shiyu's attitude really needs to be corrected.

As for how to properly educate her, that's something to do after she falls asleep.

However, Yukino isn't the only one who needs to be educated today. Although she dug her own hole and stepped into the student council pit, Yukiteru still decided to give Yukino a good talking-to.

So when she saw Yukiteru clearly pulling Yukino into the bedroom, Utaha, who was following behind, laughed gleefully.

"It seems Yukino is feeling better tonight. It's so good that I'm not involved. Hmph, serves you right for not knowing how to be cute."

However, Shiyu, who was secretly pleased with herself, did not notice the wicked smile on Xuehui's lips as he entered the room.

More than half an hour later.

In Shi Yu's room, Shi Yu, who was curled up in bed, suddenly threw off the covers and sat up, revealing her pretty face flushed red. No matter how she covered her ears, the sounds still reached her ears.

"Damn it! Why did they have to play such a trick on me, making sure their voice came through here?!" Feeling her body getting a little hot, Shi Yu forced herself to refrain from doing anything that might cause her to generate heat.

"And Yukino too, even if it really felt good, was it necessary to make such a loud noise? Her image is ruined!"

She had even tried listening to music with headphones, but Shi Yu had no choice but to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich, wrapping herself in the blankets, forcibly closing her eyes, and refusing to listen to the sounds directed at her.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the evocative sound disappeared.

"Finally, I can rest..."

Talking to herself, Shi Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a little uncomfortable and her consciousness was a bit blurred.

In a daze, Shi Yu seemed to hear the sound of the door opening, then the blanket over her head was pulled off, and a pair of strong arms picked her up, gently biting her ear as they carried her out of the bedroom.

"Ugh...you actually had such a plan..."

It was a small gesture, but Shiyu couldn't help wanting to please the other person, so she could only say this weakly.

"This is just a small punishment. Let's see if you dare to doubt me again." Xuehui said with a malicious look, carrying Shiyu into his bedroom. Yukino was lying on the bed, panting heavily. Even though she knew what Xuehui was up to, she didn't have the energy to stop him.

As the saying goes, "To die beneath a peony is to die a romantic death."

Is there anything better than this?
