A newbie's anime life diary

About half an hour later, Yukiteru and Sayuri Sawamura went upstairs together and arrived at Eriri's room, where they saw the girl struggling with loading and saving her game.

"I don't think you'll be able to get through anytime soon. Let's stop for a bit and play again later. We should get going now," Yuki said, ruffling Eriri's hair.

"Ugh... my hair's a mess!" Because she was at home, Eriri wasn't wearing pigtails today; her loose blonde hair still looked pretty. She shook her head in dissatisfaction, but still listened to Yukiteru and closed the game.

I stood up, picked up my sketchbook and schoolbag, took a coat from the closet, and that was it—I was all tidied up.

After the New Year, Yukiteru usually drives himself when he goes out. Although he still has people with him, they are now traveling in secret instead of in the open, since there is not much danger in Japan now.

Huh? You mean Shinobu Oshino, that vampire?

Actually, she had secretly come over on the first day Yukiteru returned, but she ran right into Homura Akemi's line of fire. Given the completely different levels of power, without even lifting a finger, this vampire, who had a notorious reputation in Europe, immediately chickened out. Then, as expected, Ryougi Shiki called and summoned her to Kyoto.

All of this happened without Xuehui's knowledge. However, if the opponent were to do it again now, Xuehui would have fully recovered and would be completely unfazed.

Soon, the three of them returned to Yukiteru's house. After entering the house, Sawamura Sayuri greeted Yukino and the others very familiarly. Before, when Yukiteru was still in Kyoto, Eriri stayed with him, and Sawamura Sayuri had come over a few times. With her easygoing personality, she quickly became friends with everyone.

Besides getting a free meal, her main reason for coming was to check on Xiaojing's pregnancy. She knew she'd have to wait a while for her own daughter, and among all the people she knew, Xiaojing was the only one who was currently pregnant. This reminded her of when she was pregnant with Eriri.

So, while Yukiteru was preparing dinner, Sayuri Sawamura stayed by Shizuka's side, sharing her experience with Shizuka and Yukino and Utaha who were standing around. As for Eriri, she had already been nagged about it several times at home, and she didn't want to hear it anymore. She hid to the side and drew by herself.

Unfortunately, you can't hide forever. When it was time to sleep that night, Sayuri unceremoniously pulled Eriri to sleep with her, not giving Yukiteru a chance to be alone with her. In her words, "Anyway, you two have plenty of time in the future. Tonight, my daughter and I will have some private conversations."

Meanwhile, inside the room, Sayuri Sawamura looked at Eriri lying beside her and said with a disgruntled expression, "Aren't you being a little too unenthusiastic?"

"Huh? What's there to be so positive about? Isn't everything fine as it is?"

“Look at Shiyu, her eyes are shining with the desire to be a mother. She asked me a lot of questions about it. You have to work hard, or you'll fall behind.”

"Tch, that girl's just being impulsive. Unless she doesn't want to continue her studies and writing career, she won't have any plans in that area for at least a year or two. She's probably just keeping an eye on things and preparing for the future. Besides, I'm only 17, I'm still young!" Eriri said proudly, blushing.

"Yeah, that's true. Eriri, you really aren't up to it right now, after all, you can't even take care of yourself..."

"Sawamura! Little! Lily!"

Chapter 308 Business Trip?

Sunday was a day off, and Xuehui didn't have anything to do today, so everyone went out together and spent half a day playing.

While shopping, Yukino and the others were picking out clothes in the store. Yukino walked over to the side by herself, picked up her phone and dialed Haruno's number.

A few seconds later, the call was connected, and Yang Nai's slightly sleepy voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hey, Xuehui? What do you want at this hour?"

Hearing Yang Nai's weak voice, Xue Hui frowned: "Are you very tired? Didn't you have no work this weekend? Are you not feeling well?"

"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine," Yang Nai said nonchalantly. Then, Xue Hui heard a sound like someone turning over in bed over the phone. Yang Nai continued, "Although I don't have classes on weekdays, I still have exams, so I have to make the most of the weekends to study. University isn't like high school, where you learn simple things; it's very mentally taxing. I stayed up all night in the school's study room yesterday, ate something this morning before going back to my dorm to rest, and I hadn't slept long before you woke me up."

As she spoke, she seemed to be complaining about Xuehui, clearly indicating that she hadn't had enough sleep.

"Who told you to study all night? This isn't the way to push yourself!" Xuehui shook his head, utterly exasperated by Yangna's erratic behavior. "And then what? You rest enough during the day and then continue like this at night?"

"Hehe, it's just Friday or Saturday, I guess. I didn't really expect it to take this long, but everyone in the study room was working like crazy, so I naturally got caught up in it. Besides, I haven't studied properly in a long time, so it's nice to be able to study so hard for once." Yang Nai laughed as she pulled the blanket tighter around herself and said, "You still haven't told me why you're calling me now? If there's nothing else, I'm going to go back to sleep. I feel like I can sleep until tonight."

"Are you a pig? Sleeping until night. Your disrupted biological clock will make your skin worse."

"If my skin gets worse, does that give you an excuse to avoid me, Yukiteru-kun, so you can go find other pretty girls? *sniffles* I'm so pitiful..."

Hearing Yang Nai's affected voice, Yukiteru really got goosebumps all over.

"Can you please be normal?"

"Sigh~ Try to act normal. Is it because my acting is bad? I think I acted quite well."

"May I ask, who did you learn from?"

"TV drama."

"...You still have time to watch TV dramas, so it seems I don't need to worry about you." With a soft sigh, Yuki looked at Yukino and the others who had already picked up several pieces of clothing and said, "You haven't been here for several days, have you? Do you have time to come over tonight? I'll go buy some more groceries later."

"I'm really hungry." Yang Nai said with a hint of frustration, rubbing her stomach which had been empty for a long time. "Unfortunately, I can't. I have to take a flight for a business trip later. Didn't you have a plan to acquire a game studio? There's one I'm planning to talk to tomorrow, so I have to leave today."

Acquisition? Upon hearing this, Xuehui remembered that he had previously finalized several projects and wanted to acquire several game studios. Xuehui himself had even met with one of them yesterday.

But, you're going on a business trip to a region outside of Tokyo so soon?

Where are we going this time?

"Osaka isn't that far. But once we've finished our business in China, we'll probably be going abroad to work."

“I know that, you can arrange it then.” Nodding, Yuki agreed to all the company matters that Haruno arranged. However, after thinking for a moment, he still asked, “How many days will it take to go to Osaka this time?”

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Yang Nai was silent for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you checking up on me now? Or are you worried that your sister isn't working and is doing something else?"

"It's not that serious, and stop beating around the bush." ​​Looking over, Yukino and the others were already calling him. Yukiteru said as he walked over, "I just haven't seen you for several days, is it wrong to want to see you?"

"Oh dear, Yukiteru-kun, I'm a little embarrassed by your bluntness."

"Tch, you can be shy now?" Yuki had absolutely no idea what Yang Nai was saying. This woman was shameless, especially on the phone; her credibility dropped three points. After questioning her, Yuki went to the counter, took out his card, and handed it to a store employee to swipe.

Hmm, a whole bunch of clothes.

"Yukiteru-kun, really, can't you just go along with what I'm saying?" Haruno had obviously heard Yukiteru and the others talking on the other end of the phone, so she said, "Since you have something to do, you can hang up now. I need to sleep a little longer, I have to catch the train later."

"Okay, then take care of yourself. I'll give you a few numbers later. Just call me if anything happens in Osaka." After saying that, Xuehui hung up the phone.

However, he did not expect that Yang Nai on the other end of the phone was actually blushing.

Lying on the bed with her phone in hand, Yang Nai couldn't help but smile: "Hmph, you think you can fool me with a little sweet talk? My heart is very firm."

With a "click," just as Yang Nai was talking to herself, the dormitory door opened, and several girls walked in, also seeing that Yang Nai was awake.

"Ah, Yang Nai, you're awake. Why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

"Your eyesight is bad, didn't you see the phone? You probably just finished a call with some guy we don't know." This girl really hit the nail on the head.

Yang didn't refute it. She smiled, put her phone aside, turned over, and went back to sleep. She wasn't making things up; she was indeed leaving for Osaka that night.

Meanwhile, Yukiteru, who had just hung up the phone, met up with Yukino and the others after they had paid the bill.

"Were you talking to your sister on the phone just now?" Yukino looked at Yukiteru. He hadn't hidden anything when he spoke earlier, so ruling out the possibility that Yukiteru had hooked up with other girls, Yukino was the only one left to answer.

Nodding, Xuehui also said, "I was thinking of having Yangnai come over for dinner tonight, but I have to go on a business trip soon. I don't know why she's working so hard. She could have just let her subordinates handle the business trip, but she insists on doing it herself."

“This is my sister’s first real experience managing a company from scratch, so she definitely wants to do her best. She wouldn’t feel comfortable handing it all over to someone else, so don’t worry about it.”

Yukino's explanation was clear to Yukino, but he was still a little annoyed. Among the group, Haruno was the most slippery, making it impossible for him to find an opportunity.

It seems necessary to exercise the power of being the big boss.

Chapter 309 A Winner in Life?

In the evening, after a full day of rest and feeling refreshed, Yang Nai took a shower, changed her clothes, picked up her small suitcase, told her roommates, and set off for the station.

Inside the dormitory, the other girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Don't you guys think Yang Nai is in a particularly good mood today?"

"Could she really be in love? That Haruno who rejected over 50 suitors in two years..."

"Probably."

"Where is your partner?"

"There's only one possibility left, isn't there?"

"Tsk tsk, a relationship between an older woman and a younger man."

----------------

Meanwhile, Yukiteru, who had just finished dinner and was writing in his room, also received a message from his subordinates that Haruno had already set off for the station, preparing to head to Osaka.

"Osaka, what a great place! But won't it be too boring going alone?"

With that in mind, Xuehui opened his browser and started searching for train schedules to Osaka for tomorrow.

"Hmm, let's go this afternoon."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Eriri walked in.

"What's wrong? Isn't Aunt Lily playing games downstairs? Why don't you play with her?"

Stopping what she was doing, Yukiteru spun around in her chair and watched Eriri walk in through the closed door. After dinner, bored, Sayuri Sawamura pulled everyone into playing games. Since the current Full Dive mode was just an old demo, they were playing regular console games.

Eriri shook her head and said with disdain, "Mom is terrible at games. She's only good at otome games. I feel embarrassed to play with her, so I came up to see you."

"Oh, is that so?"

With a smile, Yukiteru waved to Eriri, then patted his thigh.

Seeing the other party's action, Eriri knew exactly what Yukiteru was thinking. Although she blushed a little shyly, Eriri's eyes darted around. She thought to herself that Shiho, who was the one who mocked her the most, was still downstairs, which meant that no one would be coming over for the time being.

Eriri was already a little annoyed because her mother had kept her company last night, leaving her with little time to be alone with Yuki. Now, suppressing her shyness, she slowly walked over, sat on Yuki's lap, hugged his neck, and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Is there anything so embarrassing about it? It's been like this for so long."

Looking at Eriri's appearance, Yukiteru compared her to Yukino, who was originally the most shy person in the family.

Hmm... So it really is a matter of time? As for Yukino, she's been living with me for a long time, so I've gotten used to it over time.

As for Eriri, since he was away from Chiba for a period of time, he wanted to spend more time with Eriri.

However, there should be plenty of time left.

"Hey, Eriri."

"Wh...what's wrong?" She had thought Xuehui wanted to do something naughty by asking her to sit down, but there was no reaction, so she looked up in confusion.

"How about... officially moving in here?"

"Huh? Moving in here... Wait, wait, wait?! Cohabitation?"

Suddenly, Eriri felt her face flush. Living together... while she sometimes envied Utaha and Yukino for being able to see Yukiteru every day, she still felt a little awkward about it herself!

"Yes, we're living together." Holding Eriri close, Yukiteru pressed his face against her neck, inhaling the faint scent of her shower gel after her bath and feeling the softness of her skin. He smiled and said, "Shino, Yukino, and Shizuka have all moved here a while ago. Eriri, you're mine now, so it's only natural that you moved here too. Although it's not far, and we can see each other at school, I still want to see Eriri every evening at dinner."

"That's true... but I still feel embarrassed about living together. Also, I wonder if we have enough rooms at home."

Although the house is a duplex, it's gradually becoming too small for so many people.

Yukiteru kissed Eriri's neck, and seeing her shrink back a little because she was ticklish, he gave her a reassuring look: "Don't worry, we're already working on that. The house next door has been rented out, and the lease is due in a month. I've already had someone negotiate with them. As soon as the lease expires, we'll buy it, renovate it, and connect the two houses, so we won't have to worry about not having enough rooms."
