A newbie's anime life diary

Hmmm~ I feel like this sounds a bit gay? But they didn't care too much about it. Best buddies, once...forever!

Yukiteru and Eriri were unaware of what was going on with the gay group. After accompanying Eriri back to the classroom to get her lunch, the two went to the student council room.

Right now, everyone is waiting here. Dinner hasn't started yet. They all know that someone confessed to Eriri. Although it was a predetermined ending, it doesn't stop them from coming to hear the story!

Upon their return, the two were immediately confronted with questions from everyone. Yukiteru and Eriri did not try to hide anything and recounted the entire incident.

After listening, Hachiman Hikigaya sighed and said, "I've heard a bit about Kenji Toujou. He seems like a decent person. I hope he won't suffer too much of a blow this time."

Shi Yu shook her head: "I don't think so. After all, he's run into a guy who's going to build a harem. If he's not careful, he might lose faith in women in the future. Hmm... if that's the case, his friends should be careful."

"Huh~~ Kasumigaoka-senpai, your idea is a bit too weird. I feel like you and Himeko would have a lot in common." Yuihama felt a strange sense of unease as she listened to Utaha's words. So every girl has a tendency towards BL? Kasumigaoka Utaha, a light novel author who is good at describing emotions, is more likely to have this tendency.

"Alright, Shiyu, stop fooling around." Xuehui patted Shiyu's head to calm her down and said, "This matter is nothing serious. Anyway, it's over, so there's no need to talk about it anymore. Okay, everyone, let's eat. We still have things to do later. After I'm done, I'll ask for leave to go to Osaka this afternoon."

Yukino guessed what he was thinking and asked, "Are you going to see your sister?"

"Yeah, that guy's been working too hard lately. I'll go and bring her back so she can stay home and rest for a few days. I don't want to have another patient to take care of later."

Xuehui had already decided that if the other party didn't listen, he would use his power as the boss to directly dismiss Yang Nai from her position as general manager and let her rest properly, or send her back to school and give her the job back when she was more mature.

Incidentally, he also needs to finalize his relationship with Yang Nai in the next couple of days. As for Eriri, he already gave her the ring last night; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so calm and composed in front of others today regarding their relationship.

After quickly handling some school matters, Xuehui went straight to ask for leave. The school turned a blind eye to his frequent absences, given his undeniable academic achievements and his positive impact on the school's reputation; they simply let him ask for leave.

Sitting on the train to Osaka, Yukiteru pondered what to do after seeing Haruno.

"After thinking about it, Yang Nai is like a high-level enemy in a game, the kind that needs to be dealt with later. Interesting."

I finished watching EX-AID this afternoon and this morning. It was great, I really enjoyed it.

Then I continued watching, but there weren't any good anime to watch lately, so I could only watch tokusatsu.

Chapter 312 Money is being made

It was almost 5 o'clock when I got off the Shinkansen and set foot on Osaka soil, which means it took quite a while.

Upon exiting the station, Yukiteru immediately picked up his phone and contacted the guards who had accompanied Haruno to Osaka to protect her, confirming Haruno's current location.

"Are you still talking about business? Let's go wait for her nearby."

After deciding on his next plan, Yukiteru planned to hail a taxi on the street and head to the neighborhood where Haruno was.

However, after waiting for a few minutes, instead of a taxi, another black luxury car arrived.

The car window rolled down, and Xuehui saw a face he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Kasakain...Ryuji?"

His gaze shifted, and he saw that not only Ryuji, but also the expressionless Momei Liu was in the car. Judging from their appearance, they had obviously come to find him.

"Is there something you need? There shouldn't be any trouble lately, right? I haven't received any news." Looking at the two people from the Kakeruin family who had suddenly appeared, Yukiteru couldn't figure out why they had come. It would take some time for them to come from the main Kakeruin family.

"Let's get in the car first, it's not good to keep talking like this."

As Ryuji Kakaiin said this, Yukiteru looked around, nodded, opened the car door, and got in.

Sitting opposite the two, Xuehui, acting as if they were old friends, opened the cabinet, took out a bottle of juice, took a sip, and asked, "Can you tell me now? By the way, since you drove here, could you give me a ride somewhere?"

"...You really don't hold back." Hanakain Ryuji's lips twitched at Yukiteru's attitude. Although displeased, he still agreed, "Address."

"The Nishi Ward in Osaka, the Nitta Building, isn't too far, about a ten-minute walk, is that alright?"

"Got it, West District, right?" Nodding, Ryuji Kakaiin raised his hand and gestured to the driver in the driver's seat. The driver understood and changed direction at the next intersection.

As they began their journey towards their destination, Yukiteru looked at Ryuji and asked, "So, what is it?"

"There are two things we wanted to discuss with you since you're also involved and happened to be here." Long Er breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they could finally get down to business. He was the type of person who wanted everything resolved quickly.

"The first thing is about the yokai of Kyoto. After the battle, Hagoromo Gitsune was taken away for treatment by that yokai... cough, yokai sage. A large group of yokai who survived and were loyal to Hagoromo Gitsune also went with her. But just a few days ago, they all came back."

"Uh...back to Kyoto?" Upon hearing this, Yukiteru understood why Ryuji Keikain had been sent to find him.

The Ryougi and Nura families both played a significant role in resolving the Hagoromo-Gitsune rebellion. However, now that the curse on Hagoromo-Gitsune has been lifted, the Nura family has no intention of interfering in such matters. Their approach to me is likely to seek my opinion on how to handle the Hagoromo-Gitsune issue. After all, with the Mikadoin family, descendants of Abe no Seimei, completely expelled, the association led by the Ryougi family is practically a semi-official organization, and many things require consultation with them.

Are you worried that Hagoromo Gitsune is planning something?

Nodding, Ryuji Keikain said, "Don't be fooled by our last victory. Our Keikain family suffered heavy losses. Few of our core Onmyoji were unharmed. Mami-ryu and I have only just recovered in the last few days. Akifusa and the others are still in bed. If Hagoromo-Gitsune really wants to cause trouble, we can't handle it with our current strength."

Indeed, as Ryuji Keikain said, with the current strength of the Keikain family, they are no match for the elite troops under Hagoromo Gitsune's command; even just one Tsuchigumo...

"Oh right, has Tsuchigumo returned?"

Upon hearing the name Tsuchigumo, Ryuji Hanakain immediately felt a chill run down his spine: "Don't talk to me about Tsuchigumo. If that battle maniac really comes back, do you think I'll still have time to ask you for help? I heard he went to the place where the sage of youkai lives and is probably getting beaten up now."

Gensokyo, not to mention the ones I haven't seen, just one Flower Mother would probably be enough to give Tsuchigumo a hard time.

Nodding, Xuehui offered his advice: "As for Hagoromo Gitsune, she did so many things for Seimei back then, but Seimei betrayed her that time. Now Seimei has lost the power of rebirth and has completely vanished from the world. Hagoromo Gitsune has also come to terms with the truth, so there's no need to worry about that. On the contrary, I think you can cooperate with her. Without the suppression of the yokai forces, those troublesome yokai in the shadows definitely won't stay put, right? You alone won't be enough. How about learning from us and cooperating with Hagoromo Gitsune?"

"Cooperate...?" Not only Ryuji, but also Mami Ryu, who had been silent all along, showed a different expression at this moment, looking at Yukiteru with some disbelief.

"That's Hagoromo Gitsune!"

"What's wrong with Hagoromo Gitsune? It's the 21st century now, stop clinging to the old ways. Didn't you have a pretty good time cooperating with the Nura Clan before?" Yukiteru said nonchalantly, leaning back in his chair.

"...Let's discuss this matter later. I'll talk to the head of the family about it, but given his personality, he'll probably agree. Now, let's talk about something else." Composing himself, Ryuji began to address the second matter. "This matter is more accurately described as a commission. Your company has developed that fully stealth device, right? We hope you can customize a batch of equipment for Onmyoji combat training. In real-world combat training, no matter what, one is always somewhat restrained, which is not conducive to improvement. Although peaceful days have returned, we cannot let our guard down."

"Sigh~ Equipment for Onmyoji's practical training? Not a bad idea." Yukiteru didn't expect that the Kakaiin family would come up with such a method, but it is indeed a very promising approach.

"We can give it a try, but I need a lot of data. You'll have to come to Tokyo, and I'll have my people develop the module first. Then we can just input the data and start testing. Of course, the price won't be cheap. This is equivalent to developing a custom software from scratch, which is very expensive."

Ryuji Hanakain had no idea what to do with Yukiteru's immediate focus on money, so he agreed: "Understood. You don't need to worry about funding, as long as it meets the requirements."

Just then, the car arrived at Xuehui's destination, and the matter was settled.

Xuehui didn't linger any longer, opened the car door, and got out.

"I'll contact you once everything is ready. Just come over then. I have something to do, so I'll be going now. See you later."

After saying goodbye to the two from the Hanakain family, Yukiteru headed straight for the office of the game studio that Haruno was going to, in an unusually good mood.

"I never expected that a trip to Osaka would result in receiving an order."

Just as he was thinking this, before even entering the building, Xuehui saw Yang Nai, dressed in a business suit and carrying a bag, walking out of the lobby. Yang Nai had obviously seen him too.

"Oh? What brings you here?"

Chapter 313 Rejection!

At this moment, Yang Nai was too exhausted after finishing her work to care about anything else, and stared blankly at Xue Hui who appeared in front of her.

"This...is this Osaka?"

Rolling her eyes, Yukiteru walked up to Haruno and said, "Of course it's Osaka. Can't I come?"

"What are you doing here instead of going to class? Looking for me?" Yang Nai frowned, looking somewhat uncomfortable. "You checked my schedule?"

Xuehui didn't deny it, nodding and saying, "You came out alone, how could I not have someone follow you? It's just that they always stay in the shadows, so you can't see them. Besides, unless I ask, they won't report to me, so don't worry about me following you like a stalker."

"Tch, good to know." Yang Nai already knew a bit about what Xue Hui had said, but she felt a little relieved after hearing it from him personally. After all, even if they were family, it wouldn't be good for them to be investigating her whereabouts all the time.

Xuehui looked around. It was around the time when some companies in the building were leaving get off work. It wouldn't be good for the two of them to stay here any longer, so he took Yangnai's hand and walked outside.

"Now that the work is done, let's find a place to have dinner. Don't overwork yourself."

Tilting his head, Yang Nai let Xuehui pull him along, a smile appearing on his face: "Wouldn't you call this taking advantage of me in public?"

Haven't I taken advantage of you enough?

"But that's only in private, isn't it? I've never agreed to you doing that in public." A blush appeared on Haruno's face as she looked at Yukiteru's hand holding hers.

Xuehui, who was half a step ahead, did not notice and continued, "I did not intend to ask for your consent. After all, it is more convenient for me to take action than to argue with you verbally."

"That's really unreasonable."

"There's no need to reason with unreasonable people." Once on the street, Yuki looked at Haruno beside him and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"..." Touching her stomach, Yang Nai put aside her earlier argument with Yukiteru and said, "Meat!"

"Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?" Seeing Yang Nai's character completely broken, Xue Hui laughed and then said after thinking for a moment, "On the way here, I saw a few restaurants ahead, including a barbecue restaurant. Let's go there."

As he spoke, he led Yang Nai to a barbecue restaurant two blocks away.

It's already lunchtime, but thankfully there aren't too many people.

This restaurant also has small cubicles. Although they are not private rooms and have little soundproofing, they are still places where you don't have to be surrounded by people when you're eating.

After sitting down and taking a sip of the tea served by the restaurant, the two ordered a large table of food, mainly meat, with a small portion consisting of vegetables and staple foods.

However, Yang Nai did seem a little uncomfortable, and looked at Xue Hui beside her, saying, "We're here to eat, why are you sitting next to me? Can't you sit across from me?"

Yes, at the barbecue table, Yukiteru didn't choose to sit opposite Haruno, but instead sat directly next to her. Fortunately, there was enough space, and the two of them didn't feel crowded sitting together.

"What? I haven't seen you for days. Can't you get closer to our Miss Yang Nai?"

As she spoke, Xuehui moved even closer to Yangnai and carefully observed her face: "You do look a bit tired; you even have dark circles under your eyes."

"...I know very well whether I have dark circles under my eyes or not, so can you please stop talking nonsense?" Yang Nai pushed Xue Hui away a little and said with great dissatisfaction, "Don't just talk about girls' dark circles or anything like that, or they might get angry."

"Hmph, aren't you not angry?" Yukihiro saw that Yang Nai had a sullen face, but he knew that the other party was not angry at all.

"By the way, how did today's acquisition talks go?"

"Has the leadership come to inspect our work?" Raising an eyebrow, Yang Nai said confidently, "With me handling this, it's a piece of cake. The acquisition price is even 5% lower than expected!"

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. You deserve a reward."

As they were talking, the shop assistant came over with a large plate of food and placed it on the table in front of them, while also heating up the grill.

"Let's talk while we eat."

After drizzling a little oil, Xuehui added several pieces of meat and vegetables, filling the entire plate, and continued, "I've made a decision. In view of General Manager Yang Nai's hard work and remarkable achievements during this period, I, the big boss, have decided to give you a week of paid leave."

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, give... um? Give a holiday?!" Yang Nai was quite pleased to hear the praise, but then the tone took a complete 360-degree turn.

A holiday? What the heck?!
