A newbie's anime life diary

There was no way she could help but think this way, given Yukino's current calm before the storm.

At the same time, Yukino breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the method she, Utaha, and Shizuka had come up with to deal with her older sister was indeed effective.

Once the initiative is in hand, things will be much easier. Even someone as cunning as Yukino, when faced with the traps that Yukino, Utaha, and Shizuka might set, will inevitably fall into them if they are caught off guard.

Then Yukino continued, "It seems that you do have some feelings for Yukiteru, otherwise you wouldn't have left so impulsively. If you had stayed here, Yukiteru wouldn't have reacted so strongly, and I wouldn't have noticed. Instead, you explained everything clearly."

"It seems you know everything." Yang Nai's expression calmed down at this point.

"Yes, I know everything, including your strange ideas, sister. I don't know how you even thought of saying that to Yukiteru. So, sister, you can be all looks and no brains too? Yukiteru could never accept your suggestion." Yukino shifted her crossed legs and frowned as she said, "After saying so much, let me just say what I think. There are already enough people in the family, and I don't want to add any more. Anyway, you wouldn't agree either, so let's think of a way to put an end to Yukiteru's hopes."

"Think of...a solution?"

"Ah, that's right, let's think of a way." Nodding her head, after finishing her complaints, Yukino officially began to probe Haruno. "Actually, it's not that complicated. As long as the three of us firmly disagree, I think we can still stop Yukiteru-kun's actions. But that's not enough on our own, so you have to do something too, sister."

You mean...?

"Didn't your mother tell you to find someone soon? But you don't want to get married, so why not find someone easy to control and be a puppet? After the marriage, you can keep them from touching you. After that, you can still live your own life, and you can also put an end to Yukiteru's thoughts. What do you think?" Yukino said, her heart pounding as she looked at Haruno.

'I feel like this is going a bit too far. Is Shiyu's method really going to work? It even involves using that kind of thing.'

"..." After hearing Yukino's words, Haruno looked at her younger sister with considerable disbelief. "You... really think that way? Is this really your idea?"

"What, you don't believe me? Although I can be quite easygoing sometimes, my tolerance is still limited, even if you're the older sister, that's still not acceptable. Besides, isn't this fine? Or is it that you don't actually think that way at all, and are just hiding your true feelings?"

"..." Yang Nai fell silent, her breathing becoming rapid.

"What, you won't tell me? Sister, I didn't expect you to be wearing a mask even for something like this? You're really different from when you were little. Where did the sister who used to snatch my favorite toys and break them in no time go? Why are you so timid? You won't even tell the truth anymore?" As she spoke, a talisman faintly glowed in the palm of Yukino's hand.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, Yukino finally opened her mouth: "Yukino, I..."

----------

Late at night, in Xuehui's bedroom.

After a suppressed groan escaped her lips, Yukino finally lost her straddling position. Her slender body slumped down, resting on Yukiteru's chest, panting heavily.

Letting out a comfortable breath, feeling his energetic companion still inside her body, Yukiteru didn't take any further action. Instead, he gently stroked Yukino's back and asked, "What's wrong? Still feeling down?"

"Hmph, how can I not be annoyed? I was thinking I could finally get my sister's true feelings out of her, but it turns out she has that powerful amulet!" Yukino replied resentfully, then looked up and glared at Yukiteru. "You really didn't give it to her?"

"I swear, I really didn't give it to her. Besides, when I brought Yang back before, her body didn't react at all. How was I supposed to know she had such a protection device? I guess it was given to her by the teacher or someone else." Xuehui quickly raised his hands to show his innocence.

"I hope that's really the case." Nodding, Yukino lay down again and whispered, "Although I still managed to talk to my sister successfully afterward, I'm so unwilling. It's not easy to have a chance to beat her once."

"Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future. Didn't we agree that you sisters would manage the company together in the future? Just beat her in the area where Yang Nai is most proud."

"What, are you relieved now? You can finally talk about your sister in front of me without worry, right?" As she spoke, Yukino reached out and pinched Yukiteru's waist, saying in an annoyed tone, "Don't be so smug. Do you think my sister is so easy to win over? Don't even think about succeeding in two or three years. We agreed not to use any force."

"Well, I'm already grateful that you've been so forgiving in allowing me to do whatever I want. We'll see what happens in the future. Anyway, I believe that life will only get happier from now on." Yukiteru said with a smile, holding Yukino's smooth body tightly.

"Hmph, wouldn't it be even better if we added a few more? Then we could get a bigger villa, and a bigger... bigger bed or something? Tell me, how many do you want?"

"Hehe, no, no, that's enough." Xuehui immediately shook his head in response, "I have limited energy, I have limited energy. I need to focus on my work from now on, I don't have time for that."

Yukino immediately covered Yukiteru's mouth with one hand, then propped herself up against his chest, tilting her head back. Under the light of the bedside lamp, strands of hair were sticking to her cheeks with sweat, but she ignored them and continued to say to Yukiteru, "Don't be so sure of yourself. That blonde, twin-tailed, tsundere manga artist and our student council treasurer, don't tell me you didn't take her seriously. I've come to understand her these past few days; you're still quite greedy here."

As she spoke, Yukino tapped Yukiteru's chest with her finger.

"..." Holding Yukino's small hand and pulling her back into his arms, Yukiteru asked softly, "Then why didn't you stop me? Instead, you indulged me like this."

"I... I don't understand it myself either. Maybe I really have been brainwashed by the teacher." Yukino said with a self-deprecating laugh, then shrank back. "But now I've gotten used to these lively days. Everyone gets along very well, which is quite nice. And I also know that you're destined not to keep your focus on these mundane days forever. It's not bad to keep Shizuka and the others company when you're not around."

"The more you say that, the more I feel like I haven't done enough." With a sigh, Yukito composed himself, flipped over and pinned Yukino beneath him, and put on a smiling face again. "Alright, we've finished talking about all the miscellaneous things. Now I've made another decision, which is to hurry up. A moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and I'm also looking forward to seeing what kind of child Yukino and I will have."

"Huh? Wait, didn't we agree that Jing-jie would go first... Ah! Slow down, I haven't recovered yet... Hmm~~~~"

The double bed in the bedroom began to sway incessantly again under the dim light.

The next day, both Yukiteru and Yukino sat down at the dining table with dark circles under their eyes.

While yawning, Xuehui peeled a hard-boiled egg. He couldn't help it; the urge to have a baby was so strong last night that he spent too much on in-game currency, spending one transaction after another.

If it weren't for Shizuka coming to kick the door when she got up in the middle of the night, and Yukino also being unable to hold on any longer, Yukiteru would have almost forgotten the time.

On the other side of the table, Yukino, having regained her composure, sat down and ate her breakfast. She watched the two people opposite her with great interest and then said, "Although I've said it before, given the current situation, Yukino, why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up in a few days? Maybe you'll be pregnant."

"..." Yukino put down her coffee cup, looked expressionlessly at her sister who was gloating again, and said, "Don't be so smug, it'll be your turn soon."

Hmm... Let's leave it at that for now. After all, Haruno isn't someone who's easy to deal with. We need to find a more suitable opportunity.

Chapter 252 Christmas Eve

After breakfast, the group went to school or work.

After going downstairs, there were two cars waiting. Yukiteru got into one with Haruno, while Yukino and the others got into the other one.

The first stop was naturally the school. Sitting in the car, Xuehui looked at Yangnai, who was constantly tapping on her phone, and asked, "Aren't you going to class today?"

Yang Nai nodded in response, "Ah, let's not go for now. Let's finalize the company's office location before the end of the year. We also need to plan the number of people we'll recruit initially."

As she spoke, Yang Nai raised her head and looked at Xue Hui: "Let me ask you a question. Besides the head office, you mentioned that you also wanted to open a subsidiary company to develop related games, right? How do you plan to choose the location? Should we put both companies together, or separate them?"

After listening, Xuehui thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... how about this? Anyway, the game company just needs to focus on developing projects, so let's not put it together with the headquarters. Let's choose a nice place in Chiba as the headquarters for the development department, somewhere close to the stealth equipment R&D lab. As for the head office, which is responsible for publishing and launching the game, we can keep it in Tokyo."

"You're just adding to my workload. But thankfully, I don't have to worry about the research lab. Ryougi has already found a location in a tech park in Chiba and started construction. Once it's finished, the staff will be in place. So, let's put the game development department's address there. I'll go there later and grab a good spot while there aren't many companies moving in yet. Then I'll go to Tokyo. Hmm... what do you think of Roppongi? There are quite a few big companies there."

Yukiteru had no objection to Haruno's suggestion, since she had already thought it through very clearly.

"Um, Yang Nai..."

"Oh right, I talked to the researchers your teacher transferred here who are in the preparatory stage. They said that once the research lab is completed, the initial equipment development can be finished within three months, and the first-generation product can be put into production. Once the safety test is passed, we can announce it directly, how about that?" Before Xuehui could even finish speaking, Yang Nai had another idea pop into her head.

"Yeah, once the finished product is released, an announcement is a given. After all, when the company is first established, many people definitely don't believe in our capabilities. In three months, plus using some connections, we'll be able to take the equipment straight to the game expo. Yang Nai, I'm telling you..."

"That's right. The real work begins after the announcement. We need to reduce the cost of the equipment without compromising the effect, ensure stability, and guarantee a range of security features. In addition to entertainment, we also need to conduct collaborative research in other fields, etc... Hmm, it seems there's a lot to do."

Once again, Yang cut off Yukiteru's words and took out paper and pen to start taking notes.

"..."

Noticing that Yukiteru had fallen completely silent beside her, Haruno smiled and put away her things. She then moved closer to him, poked Yukiteru's cheek, and said, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"...Did you do this on purpose?"

"Hmph~" Yang Nai smiled smugly, looking at the sullen-faced Yukiteru and said, "This is revenge for your tough attitude before. Well, although I don't dislike Yukiteru-kun like that, you're still too green to think you can win me over with just that. You'd better try harder."

Hmmmm~ Looks like I need to read a book.

On protracted war.

As the days went by, Xuehui would occasionally take leave from his regular work in the student council to go out with Yangnai to handle matters related to the company's establishment.

After a busy week, we finally rented four floors in a building in Roppongi to serve as the headquarters office.

Standing in the still empty and spacious company, Xuehui couldn't contain his excitement: "I believe this place will be full of people soon after the New Year."

From now on, this place is our territory. Look how smug I am! Let me put my hands on my hips for a bit.

Yang Nai, on the other hand, wasn't so relaxed. She grabbed Xue Hui and led him toward the two people she had brought from university, who would later become management members of the company, standing at the door. She said, "Don't be so smug. Don't forget that we still have to deal with the equipment procurement issue today. Don't you have a student council meeting this afternoon? Hurry up and finish it so you can go back."

"...Looks like I'm really destined to be a workaholic. Okay, okay, let's get to work."

After a busy day and having taken care of a bunch of miscellaneous tasks, Xuehui changed into his school uniform and returned to Soubu High School.

It was already past the end of get out of class, so Xuehui didn't go back to the classroom but went straight to the student council room.

Upon opening the door, Yukino and Eriri were already there, while Hikigaya and Yuigahama were still missing.

"You've worked hard. How's the work going?"

When Yukino saw Yukiteru return, she immediately put down what she was doing and went to pour him a cup of tea. Eriri also immediately took out some snacks from the cabinet and placed them in front of Yukiteru.

"Thank you all." After taking a sip of tea, Xuehui breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair, saying, "I've finished everything that needed to be done this year. The rest can wait until after the New Year."

"That's good, since the school's final exams are coming up soon anyway." Yukino nodded in agreement, since the meeting they were about to have was about the exams in a few days.

Meanwhile, Yukiteru, who was resting, noticed that Eriri's reaction was a bit strange and couldn't help but look at the girl he hadn't seen much recently: "What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"Um, ah, that is, there is, but Yukiteru-kun, didn't you receive a notification?" Eriri asked after fidgeting slightly.

"Notification?" Xuehui was stunned for a moment, then took out his phone and saw that it was out of battery and shut down.

Seeing this, Eriri breathed a sigh of relief: "Editor Machida Sonoko came to me and Kasumigaoka earlier, thinking you didn't want to answer the phone or something. Um, the paperback is planning to hold a Christmas dinner event on Christmas Eve as a reward for the editors and authors for the past year, so I was wondering if you would be attending."

Eriri understood perfectly well that she wasn't really interested in banquets, but if Yukiteru wanted to attend, she could reluctantly go. Even if Kasumigaoka Utaha was there, it wouldn't matter; they were business partners, and no one could really say anything.

They're just two female companions. There's nothing strange about it.

"Emmmm~ Christmas dinner." Yukiteru looked at Eriri with a conflicted expression, because the initial plan was for everyone to celebrate together at home.

Yukiteru had no choice but to ask Yukino for help. Yukino replied, "After all, the cooperation went well, so why don't you go and show your face? It's okay if you come back later, right?"

After thinking it over, Xuehui finally agreed.

Christmas is almost here!

Preparations before Chapter 253

A short while later, Yuihama and Hikigaya also arrived at the student council. Over the past few days, the two of them had gradually gotten used to the work of the student council.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya still doesn't really like to communicate with others, so Hihama handles that aspect of the conversation.

Well, nobody seems to care anyway. That's just who he is; changing him is probably as difficult as climbing to heaven. Besides, having such an unapproachable guy in the student council is quite a reputation.

Emmmm~ Although, apart from Eriri and Yuihama, Yukiteru and Yukino, the president and vice president, are the most difficult to talk to.

After preparing the materials, the group of five headed to the conference room.

On the way, Yukiteru looked at Hikigaya and Yuihama beside him and asked, "Exams are coming up soon. Now that you've joined the student council, are your grades okay?"

"I'm fine, but I've spent two extra hours studying foreign languages ​​and math every day. Thanks to you guys, I don't even have any leisure time in the evenings anymore," Hachiman said with a sigh, still sporting his signature deadpan eyes, before turning his gaze to Yui, who was walking next to Yukino.

Feeling Hachiman's gaze, Yui immediately puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "Hachiman, really! I've been studying hard all this time, didn't you see I've been asking Yuki for help? If anyone's having trouble, it should be Eriri-san."

"Huh? Huh? How did this get to me?"
