A newbie's anime life diary

Within minutes, these professionals all came to the same conclusion.

The industry is about to change!

The demonstration ended quickly, and when the host took off the helmet, everyone was convinced that the device was not just a gimmick, but truly possessed the ability to completely burrow.

"Having read this far, I think you all know what the big news I mentioned on Twitter was. That's right, it's the NERvGear. The full-dive device from my novel has now been developed. Of course, I hold the patent rights to the name, so there won't be any infringement issues."

At this moment, some viewers on the screen posted comments that clearly indicated someone was trying to cause trouble.

"Old thief Kong, you're not planning to lock us all in the game, are you?! Hahaha!"

Xuehui was prepared for such comments. He just smiled and said, "Of course everyone knows that this is impossible. Moreover, such a situation is impossible in novels. Putting aside how difficult it would be to stuff something that can destroy the brain into an already small device, reality is not a novel where you can just write something and have a mastermind like Kayaba Akihiko succeed."

After easily resolving the question, Yukiteru and Haruno began answering questions from the NERvGear host and audience.

The one-hour live stream ended quickly, and shortly after it ended, the news spread throughout Japan and even overseas.

This time, things are really going to get crazy.

The ban on complaining has been lifted, but the Book Guest server didn't crash? That's not right!

Chapter 280 What was bound to happen has finally happened.

Inside the company, after watching the equipment in the live streaming room being dismantled and transported away piece by piece, and after saying goodbye to the Nico Nico Live staff, Yuki and Yono returned to the president's office together.

After making himself a cup of tea and resting for a while, Xuehui opened his laptop and entered one forum after another.

"Sure enough, only half an hour has passed, and people are already posting all sorts of messages." Looking at the game forums, novel forums, and even technology forums, the recording of the live stream was pinned to the top, sparking heated discussions, or even a frenzy.

Yang Nai, who was standing to the side, was also very satisfied with the online response: "Only a small portion of the posts were made by people we arranged, but the vast majority were made spontaneously by people watching the live stream. It seems that our content has really aroused their interest."

"Of course, with VR devices still in their infancy, we've sprinted ahead and unveiled a fully immersive device. Do you think these gamers and tech enthusiasts wouldn't be excited? I can assure you, in the next few days, countless related companies will be calling to request visits or collaborations. You'd better get busy."

Upon hearing this, Yang Nai knew that this guy was going to shirk his responsibilities again, and immediately rolled her eyes at him: "You're not coming yourself? How can you leave the work of showing your face to a weak woman like me? You have no shame."

"Don't worry, it won't be long, and it'll only be for a short while. We can talk to a few potential partners first. Anyway, our improved machine isn't finished yet, so there's no need to rush into large-scale cooperation." Yuki said nonchalantly, with his arm around Yono's shoulder.

Haruno didn't seem to care much about Yukiteru's opportunistic move, and continued to think, saying, "Since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly keep up the pace. But you need to keep a close eye on the research lab. The development of the new model and cost reduction are the top priorities right now. Aren't you going to take the NERvGear to this year's E3 game show? We need to hurry. Although based on what we've shown, the show will definitely let us participate, we only have less than six months left in June."

"Don't worry, five months should be enough to refine the Sword Art Online demo and make a promotional video. Leave this to me." With a pat on his chest, Yukiteru readily accepted Haruno's request.

After discussing their work over the past few days in the office, the two got up and left the company.

Don't forget, today is also Xuehui's birthday, and everyone is at home waiting to celebrate.

It was almost 5 o'clock when I got home. The living room was all decorated and had a party atmosphere. However, there were no guests invited today, only Yukino and her friends. Even the Hikigaya siblings and Yui Yuigahama were not invited.

As for Ryougi Shiki, she seemed quite busy, only calling during the day. Yuki knew his teacher was busy, so he didn't pay much attention.

Yukino and Utaha prepared all the food for the birthday party, with Eriri helping out. As for Shizuka, she was the one who was currently the most protected person in the family, so she wasn't allowed to help at all.

"Just wait quietly to eat. Also, no drinking tonight. The alcohol in the house is going to be completely sealed off this time." These were Shi Yu's exact words, which made Xiao Jing very depressed.

When did I say I wanted to drink? Can you guys please stop bringing this up?

After having a baby, Xiaojing's appetite increased dramatically. Unlike some girls who crave a particular food, she wanted to eat everything she saw.

Unfortunately, her recipes were bound to have many limitations. Fortunately, Xuehui was a skilled cook and could make everything taste delicious, so Xiaojing didn't complain much. Otherwise, she would have definitely lost her temper.

The birthday party had a great atmosphere, with a table full of delicious food, a specially ordered birthday cake, and finally, five birthday gifts.

I received the other people's gifts a couple of days ago.

"Emmm~ I feel like I've been receiving a lot of gifts lately. Last time it was Christmas, and I received a lot of them too." Xuehui smiled broadly as he looked at the several gift boxes piled up in front of him.

"Yeah, you must be so happy." Shiyu said with a smile as she sipped her juice. "You won't be receiving any gifts for quite a while now. Instead, you'll have to start thinking about our gifts. Let me think... My birthday is at the end of the month, then Shizuka's in February, Eriri's in March, and Haruno's birthday is in July. Good luck, Yukiteru-kun! Birthday gifts can't be the same for everyone!"

"Hiss! Now that you mention it, it really is a bit difficult, but don't worry, I'll definitely satisfy you."

However, Shizuka asked curiously, "Before you open the gift, I have a question: what exactly did you give Yukino for her birthday?"

"Forehead......"

"..." Not only Yukiteru, but even Yukino blushed. After all, the birthday present Yukiteru gave that night was a very pleasant surprise.

However, Yukiteru insisted that it could not be revealed, and Yukino had no choice but to agree, which made it a very frustrating situation.

"Haha, this, um..." Just as he was thinking of an excuse, his phone rang. Xuehui immediately felt like he had found a savior, grabbed the phone and ran upstairs.

"The teacher called, I'm going upstairs for a bit!"

Seeing Yukiteru go up to the second floor, the others all looked dissatisfied, and then they shifted their gaze to Yukino, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

On the second floor, in the bedroom, Xuehui received a call from Tongle Liangyi, but the smile on her face disappeared after a short while.

"It's started so soon? It's bound to happen eventually."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have contacted you on your birthday, but Saeko and Yomi have lost contact, so I have to go. Also, Rikuo Nura from the Nura Clan has learned something and is preparing to go to Kyoto. Everything is really about to begin. Communication in Kyoto is very bad; I only managed to receive a request for help from the Keikain family. I'm planning to leave tonight. So, are you going?" Ryougi Shiki's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, but Yukiteru knew that he was definitely not at peace with the loss of his two disciples, Saeko Busujima and Yomi Isayama.

After thinking about the girls waiting downstairs, Xuehui hesitated, but the matter in Kyoto couldn't be delayed any longer, so he could only apologize for the birthday party today.

“They are my senior sisters, so I have to go for both the sentiment and the reason. Besides, I have a good relationship with Nura Rikuo, so I definitely have to go.” In the end, Yukiteru agreed.

Ryougi Shiki on the other end of the phone also breathed a sigh of relief. It was always good to have another person to help, because they didn't know what kind of enemy they would encounter this time. The legendary Onmyoji Abe no Seimei was about to be resurrected, and his strength was unknown.

"Alright, you go directly to the Nura family before 9 pm tonight. We'll take their special aerial magical vessel and set off together."

After hanging up the phone, Xuehui put down her phone, took off her sweater, opened the wardrobe, took out a black coat and put it on. At the same time, she took out a series of small props from the wardrobe and put them in her pocket.

Xuehui opened the drawer and looked at the four heart-shaped jewelry boxes lying inside. He took one out, opened it, looked at the sparkling diamond ring inside, sighed, and put it back.

After going downstairs, Yukino and the others saw Yukiteru, who had changed his clothes, and each of them had a different expression on his face.

Seeing them, Xuehui had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, something happened in Kyoto. Saeko-nee and Yomi-nee have gone missing. I have to go with you, teacher. It might take a few days."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the situation was extremely serious.

"But today is your birthday." Eriri was still a little reluctant. Although she knew that things had priorities, they had spent a long time preparing and decorating this place.

Only Sister Xiaojing calmly looked at Xuehui and said, "In that case, let's set off quickly. Just be careful."

Seeing Xiaojing's expression, Xuehui knew she was a little unhappy. He went over and hugged her, saying, "Don't worry, I've seen even the strongest monsters before, it'll only be a matter of a few days. But, to avoid worrying you, I won't make any promises like 'after this battle'. Also, don't overwork yourselves at work or school, and eat well. I don't want you all to come back looking malnourished after my trip."

Xuehui's words finally eased some of the reluctance in everyone's hearts.

They went out together, and after seeing Xuehui downstairs and into the car, they watched the car drive away before they finally returned home.

However, this time there was none of the previous laughter and joy.

"Is Yukiteru-kun really alright? I'm a little scared..." Sitting on the sofa, Eriri hugged her hunched legs and whispered. During the school trip, the monsters Yukiteru talked about were all low-level yokai, only the last two had some real strength.

But this time is different. Both Saeko Busujima and Yomi Isayama, who are extremely powerful, have lost contact, so the situation is definitely not optimistic.

"Eri, don't think like that." Seeing that Shizuka and Yukino were worried because of Eriri's words, Shizuka went over and hugged Eriri, saying, "Don't worry, Yukiteru is much stronger than any you've seen before, and he's not going alone this time, so he'll be fine."

"really?"

Yang Nai then said, "Nothing will happen. That guy isn't reckless and will rush in blindly. He knows exactly what's going on. And I'm sure he's hiding something from us, probably his trump card or something. So let's just wait patiently, eat and drink as usual."

With a clap of her hands, Yang stood up, took Yukino's hand with her left hand and Shiho's hand with her right, and walked towards the dining table: "Alright, alright, let's eat! I'm starving after a long day!"

Finally, thanks to the efforts of Xiaojing and Yangnai, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yukiteru has never revealed it, Haruno's guess was accurate. He does indeed have a trump card, and it is the strongest backup plan that he specifically prepared for this situation.

6000 words today!!

Hmm~ One more thing, a new book has been uploaded, titled "I'm a Phantom Thief, What Can I Do for You?"

However, I chose the wrong category and it became "Anime Time Travel". Waiting to change it back lol

If you're interested, feel free to bookmark this page. I've only written one chapter so far, even though I've been slacking off a lot.

Chapter 281 He, as a key figure, has taken leave.

Taking a car, Yukiteru sped towards Tokyo and arrived at the Nura Clan's headquarters without any delay.

"The demonic aura is several times stronger than usual. They're really about to launch a major offensive."

Upon arriving at the entrance, the gate opened automatically without any wind. Yukiteru walked smoothly along the path to the backyard and immediately saw Ryougi Shiki standing next to Nura Wakana, as well as Nura Rikuo in his yokai form talking to the yokai on the other side. At the same time, Yukiteru also noticed several yokai whose auras seemed somewhat out of place with the Nura Clan.

'Are they reinforcements we found?'

As soon as Yukiteru appeared, all the yokai looked over. However, since Ryougi Shiki had already arrived, they weren't too surprised. In addition, some of the yokai had seen Yukiteru before, so they didn't react much.

"Oh, you're here so fast!" As soon as Nura Rikuo saw Yukiteru, he immediately came over to greet him. The two had been drinking together the night before, so they had a pretty good relationship.

"After all, according to what the teacher said, this is a serious matter, we can't not come." As he spoke, Xuehui looked around, "Where is the old man?"

“Grandpa must have gone to Kyoto with Karasu Tengu several days in advance. Although Grandpa is old, it would be difficult for us to find out if he wanted to sneak out.” As he spoke, Nura Rikuo couldn’t help but frown. After all, according to what the old men from Ushioni said, Nura Nurarihyon had some of his internal organs removed because of his past battle with Hagoromo Gitsune, which is why he was so old and his strength had also decreased. It was impossible not to worry.

Patting him on the shoulder, Xuehui comforted him, "Don't worry, the old man has lived for so many years, he wouldn't be so naive. He's probably secretly investigating something."

"I hope so."

After speaking to him, Xuehui looked at Ryougi Shiki: "Teacher, are Saeko-nee and Yomi-nee alright?"

“Although we’ve lost contact, they were traveling with the Kakaiin family, and they also brought Ruri with them. Ruri’s senses have greatly improved since she transformed and grown, so they should be able to avoid some dangers. Now, an isolation layer has gradually been formed in Kyoto. If we don’t get there soon, the entire process will probably be shut down, which is why I’m in such a hurry to contact you.”

Ryougi Shiki spoke of the information she knew, her entire demeanor extremely serious.

"In that case, let's set off quickly." With that, Yukiteru looked at Nura Rikuo. "My teacher told me you have a special magical artifact here?"

"Hmph, since you've said so, and my men are all ready, let's begin." With a clap of his hands, everyone felt a series of booming sounds and the whooshing of wind overhead.

Looking up, I saw a huge ship flying in the air.

However, this did not seem to be an ordinary ship. On this ship, Xuehui also sensed an unusual demonic aura.

"The Nura Clan's specialty, the strategic aerial ayakashi fortress, the treasure ship—Grandpa, through the Ushioni, handed over the usage rights to me." Looking at the astonished crowd, Nura Rikuo waved his hand and shouted, "Now, let's go!"

"Ow!!!"
