A newbie's anime life diary

Just as Xuehui was thinking about how to make money, a series of police sirens sounded outside.

Amidst the roar of engines, Xuehui saw several police cars parked outside the factory.

"Ah, they've finally arrived."

Just then, a tall figure emerged from the police car with a police officer.

Without her signature white lab coat, her tight black trousers and black jacket accentuated her shapely figure. Beneath her long, straight black hair, her beautiful face betrayed a hint of nervousness as she hurried into the factory with the police.

Upon entering, everyone saw the bodies of the kidnappers lying haphazardly on the ground, as well as the boy sitting in the chair in the middle.

Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief the moment she saw that Yukiteru was unharmed, and without paying any attention to the corpses around her, she walked straight up.

Their eyes met, and looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who could be considered his cousin, Yukiteru felt a mix of excitement and unease.

I inexplicably found myself in this two-dimensional world, without purpose or future. This "family member" in front of me might be my only support right now.

Hiratsuka Shizuka approached Yukiteru, knelt down, looked at him, and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Sensing the tension in Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Yukiteru nodded reluctantly and replied, "Don't worry, cousin, I'm fine except for feeling a little tired."

Looking at the boy's pale face and the corpses scattered around him, Hiratsuka Shizuka could tell how nervous he was. After receiving a nod of approval from the nearby police officers, she helped Yukiteru up and walked towards the police car outside.

The moment Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled him up, before he could even feel the mature beauty's figure, Yukiteru was startled by the information that came to his mind.

"Ding! Main Quest 1 has been activated. Quest objective: Conquer Hiratsuka Shizuka."

Task timeframe: 2 years, before high school graduation.

Success reward: You already have a girl, why do you need a reward?

Failure penalty: Any physical attribute decreases by one level.

(A hint from a certain expert: You've been single for over ten years, it's time to find a girl. This task will be triggered no matter who the first girl you meet is. Of course, you can choose yourself; the punishment isn't severe, is it? Reward? Forget about it! This should be the last message. I won't be contacting you anymore, after-sales service isn't my responsibility, bye~)

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Xuehui felt helpless. Are all the gods these days so unreliable? Is this the kind of task you'll give me, the first person I encounter, Ruhua?

Don't dare to think. Don't dare to think.

P.S.: Major revisions. Everyone said the punishment for this mission was too harsh, so I thought I'd just change it. I originally wrote it casually, and now I realize it's a bit boring, but it doesn't matter anyway, since the system-related parts will gradually appear less and less later on.

That's it!

Chapter Four: You Can't Leave My Sight These Next Few Days (Revised)

Looking at the details of this mission, Xuehui felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Honestly, having come to this two-dimensional world, Yukiteru naturally hoped to have a dreamlike youthful romance with a beautiful female protagonist.

But reality always manages to slap him in the face unexpectedly.

He was still lost in thought, staring at the displayed task.

However, Yukiteru was somewhat relieved. Firstly, the mission wasn't mandatory, and the losses were manageable. Secondly, although he and Hiratsuka Shizuka were cousins, their blood relation was distant, and marriage in Japan was perfectly acceptable, posing no ethical issues.

Moreover, although Hiratsuka Shizuka is 27 years old, she is a real beauty and looks much younger than her actual age.

In addition, based on what he remembered, although the two did not have much contact, they still knew each other. Moreover, Hiratsuka Shizuya was in the stage of being an unwanted single woman, just like in the original work. If he really wanted to win her over, apart from the age limitation, it wouldn't be too difficult in other aspects.

If you really want to win over the other person, the only thing you need to be careful of is Hiratsuka Shizuka's illogical power.

Ryuai Hiratsuka's iron fist training is something that not everyone can endure!

'Oh well, let things take their course. I won't try to do anything special. Anyway, I have plenty of time ahead of me.'

While thinking this, the two got into the police car and headed back to the police station in Chiba City with another police car to give their statements.

Leaning back in the back seat of the police car, Xuehui finally relaxed.

He looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka beside him and asked, "Cousin, I don't have much money left. You said you were already preparing for that ransom? What's going on?"

"Ah, this." Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned against the window and smiled as she said, "Isn't this simple? Although I don't have much savings, I still have some. Also, when you called before, I was just about to pawn my sports car so that I could raise the ransom. But luckily, you had an accident, and everything was resolved. My car was also successfully saved."

Xuehui never expected that Hiratsuka Shizuka would use this method to raise ransom money for him. Hiratsuka Shizuka's sports car, it seems to be that Aston Martin? That's her beloved car, she just mortgaged it like that?

Xuehui couldn't help but feel a little moved; this woman was indeed very charming in some ways.

"Thank you, cousin. I'm sorry to have troubled you," Xuehui said sincerely.

"Well, why are you saying all this? I'm your guardian now, so it's only right that I do these things. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to explain it to your parents." Hiratsuka Shizuka said nonchalantly. "Also, even though I'm your cousin, you don't have to be so formal. Just call me Shizuka-neechan."

"Yes, Sister Jing."

In Yukiteru's memory, although his family didn't have much contact with the main family, they unexpectedly had a good relationship with Hiratsuka Shizuka because they lived in Chiba City. Or rather, it was his parents who had a good relationship with Hiratsuka Shizuka. His predecessor was a bit introverted and didn't talk much, so he only knew Hiratsuka Shizuka to a limited extent.

Even so, this woman still took over his guardianship after his parents passed away, and her attitude was definitely not perfunctory. This alone raised Yukiteru's impression of Hiratsuka Shizuka by several percentage points.

His thoughts drifted aimlessly. After the time travel, the kidnapping, and the transformation battle, Yukiteru's mind became increasingly exhausted as he relaxed. Before he knew it, he closed his eyes and rested his head on Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder.

When her shoulder was suddenly leaned on, Hiratsuka Shizuka stiffened abruptly. Turning her head, she saw Yukiteru asleep and realized what was happening. After experiencing so much all at once, anyone's spirit would surely be broken.

"This kid has really had a tough time. Sigh... I don't know if I can be a good guardian. But this kid seems to have changed a bit, but thankfully it's for the better. After experiencing so many ups and downs, he hasn't been crushed. Instead, he's getting stronger little by little. It seems this kid does have some good points."

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought this, but what she didn't know was that the source of these changes was that the soul in this body was no longer the introverted Yukiteru from before, but a Yukiteru who had experienced time travel and life-or-death trials and had grown up instantly.

Looking at the sleeping face on her shoulder, which exuded a maturity beyond its years, Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and muttered to herself, "I'll treat you to a day and let you lean on me."

The place where Yukiteru was kidnapped was not far from Chiba City. After sleeping for about ten minutes, the car stopped. Yukiteru was also woken up by Hiratsuka Shizuka, but he had no idea that he had been sleeping on Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder for years.

If he knew, he'd probably burst out laughing.

Once at the police station, Yukiteru gave a statement in the company of Shizuka Hiratsuka.

When dealing with the kidnappers, he transformed himself, even changing his height and physique, so no one would realize that he was the one who did it. Therefore, Xuehui simply fabricated the story of a masked man who killed several kidnappers with a hateful look in his eyes.

Furthermore, Xuehui directly stated that the person was a woman, and coupled with the high-heeled shoe footprints at the scene, he directly ruled out his own suspicion.

Even if there are any suspicious points, Xuehui did not have such a person in his previous social circle, so it is at most just a guess, and there is no reason to approach him.

At this moment, Xuehui was somewhat glad that he had drawn this transformation ability. Apart from being a little embarrassing, it was definitely a powerful disguise.

After giving her statement and leaving everything to the police to worry about, Yukiteru and Shizuka walked out of the police station together and, led by the police, arrived at the Aston Martin that was parked outside the police station.

"Get in the car." As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the car door.

Yukiteru got into the sports car, and after Hiratsuka Shizuka started the car and drove off, Yukiteru realized something was wrong.

"Um, Shizuka-nee, my house is in the opposite direction." Although Yukiteru's guardianship is in Hiratsuka Shizuka's hands, he is surprisingly persistent and insists on living alone in the only remaining apartment in Chiba City.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, driving, replied, "Yeah, I know. I wasn't taking you home anyway."

"Oh? Where should we go? I'm so tired today, I really want to go back and rest."

"Come to my house."

"Oh, to...wait, wait, wait, wait?? Your house?" Xuehui said, indicating that he was startled.

"Don't yell!" Hiratsuka Shizuka retorted directly, her calm tone instantly silencing Yukiteru. Without transforming, he was no match for Hiratsuka Shizuka; to avoid receiving a beating from her iron fist, he had to back down.

"Um, why do we want to go to Sister Jing's house?" After a moment of silence, Xuehui asked.

"Is that even a question? Of course I'll let you stay at my place. I've only had you living alone for a few days and this has already happened. How can I feel at ease letting you stay here?"

"But, well, wouldn't that be inconvenient? After all, you've always lived alone before. How about you take me back?" Xuehui was still reluctant to give up. Although living with Hiratsuka Shizuka might bring some unexpected benefits, he still hoped to live alone, given the many secrets he carried.

"Don't even think about it!" Hiratsuka Shizuka directly rejected Yukiteru's suggestion, saying in an unyielding tone, "I am your guardian, and I make the decisions in this matter. You must live with me for the time being and cannot leave my sight. Once I am sure you will no longer be in danger, I can consider letting you go back to your apartment to live on your own."

Although she wanted to say something more, Hiratsuka Shizuka was absolutely right, and she couldn't find any fault with her. If she refused again, it would be rather unreasonable and would only lower Hiratsuka Shizuka's opinion of her, and she still had a mission to win Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart.

"Okay, I agree." Xuehui nodded, indicating that he had no objections.

"Hmph, that's more like it. Your transfer procedures are done, so I'll put you in my class so I can take care of you."

Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Yukiteru remembered that he was originally attending another high school in Chiba Prefecture, but now that Hiratsuka Shizuka had become his guardian, she suggested that he transfer to Chiba Municipal Soubu High School, where she worked, so that it would be easier for her to take care of him.

'Hiratsuka Shizuka's class... Wait, isn't that Hachiman's class? I have a feeling my future life will be surrounded by all sorts of things. If Hachiman is really here, then does that mean...?'

Thinking of this, Xuehui's heart also became a little excited.

But now, he still had something to do. Turning to look at Hiratsuka Shizuka in the driver's seat, he said, "Shizuka-nee, let's go to my house first. Even if I stay at your place, let me go get some clothes and belongings first."

"Uh... Hahaha." Hiratsuka Shizuka paused for a moment after hearing Yukiteru's words, then laughed awkwardly, "I almost forgot."

Under Yukiteru's helpless gaze, Hiratsuka Shizuka had no choice but to immediately change her route and head towards Yukiteru's apartment.

Still begging for your favorites!

Chapter 5 Hiratsuka Shizuka: Although I smoke, drink, and race cars, I'm a good woman.

Less than a ten-minute drive later, Xuehui finally stepped into his apartment in this world for the first time.

Xuehui didn't linger in the ordinary two-bedroom apartment. He went straight into his bedroom, took out a travel bag, packed some of his change of clothes and the two sets of Soubu High School uniforms he had already received, picked up his backpack and his laptop, and locked the door again as he set off lightly.

This is my own apartment, and I'll be coming back to live here eventually anyway, so there's no need to observe it any further. On the contrary, Yukiteru is more curious about the place where Hiratsuka Shizuka is hiding.

Will it be like the unkempt single apartment of a woman in a popular novel, with underwear and other things lying around everywhere?

Wow, just thinking about it makes me a little excited!

Chiba City is not a very large city. Although it is called a city, it is actually very small compared to the map of China.

In addition, Hiratsuka Shizuka was a good driver, and they arrived at her apartment in no time.

Just as Yukiteru thought, if Hiratsuka Shizuka could afford a sports car, her place of residence, even if it wasn't a villa, couldn't be too bad.

The luxurious apartment in front of him confirmed Yukiteru's guess. He politely said "Excuse me" and changed into slippers, following Hiratsuka Shizuka into her home.

Contrary to expectations, the house was spotless. On the contrary, it was very clean. Although there were a few empty wine bottles on the living room table, this only proved to Xuehui that the house was inhabited. In Xuehui's view, a house that someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder would clean several times a day was simply uninhabitable.

Seemingly noticing the surprise in Yukiteru's eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka asked, "What's wrong? Is something strange?"

"Um... how should I put it, it's a bit different from what I imagined. I thought Jing-jie's house would be even messier." After thinking for a moment, Xuehui decided to tell the truth.

Listening to the boy's words, Hiratsuka Shizuka tidied up the empty bottles on the table and threw them into the trash can, saying, "Well, maybe I'm just too casual, which gave you that impression. Although I am a bit lazy, I am still quite clean. At least I tidy up my room every week. Okay, let me take you to your room."

Yukiteru nodded and, led by Hiratsuka Shizuka, arrived at the room where he would be staying for the next few days.

It's described as a luxury apartment, but for a country like Japan where the average living space per person is already small, the so-called luxury apartment isn't much bigger than Yukiteru's apartment. The "luxury" aspect is more about the interior design.

Yukiteru's room was originally a guest room. Hiratsuka Shizuka said it was prepared to accommodate friends who occasionally came to visit. The bedding and other items were all washed and new, but Yukiteru didn't care much about these things.
