A newbie's anime life diary

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyes and said, "I was quite familiar with a few people from junior high school, and I can still remember their names. As for those I didn't keep in touch with much, I just have a vague impression of them."

"As for me, I remember all those who have taken special care of me." Yukinoshita replied calmly, but she emphasized the words "taken special care of me," which made Yukiteru and the other two who knew the situation tremble.

"Me! Me! Me! I went to junior high school in my hometown, and I remember all my classmates! Ah, those were really happy times." As she spoke, Yui Yuigahama became lost in memories.

Yukiteru looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, who scratched his cheek and said, "Could you please not remind me of the old days? If I do remember, there are a few."

Komachi Hikigaya was a middle school student, so Yukiteru didn't ask her for an answer. After nodding, Yukiteru picked up his cola and drank it thoughtfully.

"What's wrong? Did your old classmates invite you to a class reunion?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked Yukiteru with a smile. "Do you want to bring a female companion along?"

"You're overthinking it. You just thought about it." After rolling his eyes at Kasumigaoka Utaha, Yukiteru stopped talking about it.

"But your simple question reminds me of my embarrassing past..." Hachiman Hikigaya was once again lost in endless memories of his dark past.

"Dark history, huh? That's a good thing. Like, thinking that the class monitor you've only spoken to a few times has a crush on you, then confessing and getting rejected or something." Realizing his earlier behavior was a bit strange, Yukiteru quickly changed the subject, looking at Hachiman with a mysterious expression.

"Hey! How did you know about this?!" Looking at Yukiteru with disbelief, Hikigaya immediately turned to his sister sitting opposite him.

"Hiki-gaya-ko-machi!"

"Wow, that's scary!" Komachi immediately pulled Kasumigaoka Utaha's arm and hid behind her, saying, "Komachi just wanted her brother's classmates to know you better!"

"You can't say things like that!"

For a moment, everyone burst into laughter. Kasumigaoka Utaha never expected that this junior with dead fish eyes and a seemingly unsociable demeanor would have such a "tragic experience".

'This could be used as a character design for a future role?'

Kasumigaoka Utaha is increasingly developing the mindset of a writer; she can conjure up a whole host of events and plots from the smallest things.

Although he felt somewhat sorry for Hachiman Hikigaya, the atmosphere finally became lively after bringing up his embarrassing past. Yukiteru looked at the people talking and smiled. However, his heart was anything but calm.

Although I had remembered, for a moment I completely forgot my experiences before I transmigrated, the schools I attended, my classmates and friends, and even my family.

'No, I should say that if we hadn't happened to talk about studying, I would have forgotten everything. System, is there something wrong with my body and memory?'

Xuehui asked, having not used the system for a long time, which only speaks when issuing tasks and collecting rewards.

"Aside from today's fatigue, my physical functions and brain are all normal."

After receiving this answer, Xuehui felt a little relieved. Now was not the time to think about such things.

After chatting for a while, everyone realized that Xuehui was very tired today, so they decided not to linger outside and left the fast food restaurant together.

After everyone left, at the cashier, a petite girl in an employee uniform looked at the boy beside her and said, "Hey, Zhenfu-ge, there were two really pretty girls in that group of people, they're just as beautiful as those celebrities."

"Oh, really?" the boy replied indifferently, looking somewhat tired after a day's work.

However, the girl didn't seem to care and continued enthusiastically, "Oh, and that tall guy inside, I heard he's a light novel author. He's holding a book signing nearby today, which is why our store has so many customers!"

"Light novel author? Is that amazing?" The boy named Sadao clearly didn't know much about the industry.

"That's amazing! That person is a new author, but it seems like they sold 10 copies online in one go, and that doesn't even include bookstore sales!"

"Oh! That's amazing?" The boy was clearly shocked.

'Light novels are so profitable? Maybe I should try writing some? I could change the story of the demon world a bit; hopefully, it won't get discovered.'

Clearly, this boy was no ordinary person.

The main character of the demon-slaying arc will make his appearance, but he can only be considered a supporting character. His identity and other details will be modified to connect him with the characters who will appear later, but it is expected to take some time.

P.S.: The update tomorrow noon might be moved to the evening; I probably won't have time during the day.

I've been slacking off today.

I haven't gone home yet, so I won't be able to update tonight. I'll resume tomorrow, and I'll also make up for the two chapters I missed today.

Then, one hundred words ...

Chapter 60 New Commission (First Update)

On Sunday, Xuehui did nothing at home but lounge on the sofa and play games all day. He ordered takeout for all his meals and spent the whole day in a very lazy manner, completely getting rid of the fatigue from Saturday.

On Monday morning, Yukiteru arrived at school and met Hiratsuka Shizuka at the classroom door.

"Jing-jie, class shouldn't be in session yet, why are you here? Are you looking for me?"

Still dressed in her usual white lab coat, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Yukiteru and said with a smile, "I heard from Sonoko about the book signing on Saturday; it was a great success. It's a pity I had a meeting at school that day and couldn't come because of the midterm exams. You don't mind, do you?"

"It's alright, work is important, and Hachiman and the others are all here, so I'm not bored." Yuki shook his head. Midterm exams start next month, and the teachers at the school have already begun their preparations. Hiratsuka Shizuka has also started getting busy, and Yuki knows all of this.

"That's good. I was originally going to tell them to cheer you on, but I didn't expect they had already made preparations. Seeing how good your relationship is, I'm relieved. After all, none of them are easy to deal with."

"If Yukinoshita heard you say that, she'd give you a hard time again." Yuki shook his head with a wry smile. Shizuka-nee was still as direct as ever. "Shizuka-nee, you must have something else to do, right? You could have just congratulated me at noon."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded and said, "That's right, there is something. A client should be coming to see you around noon. I've also notified Yukinoshita, but this time it might be necessary for you to take charge. It wouldn't be appropriate to let someone else handle it."

"Not appropriate? Sister Jing, you should at least tell us who the client is!"

"Kendo Club".

"!!!"

At noon, the four members of the Service Club, after having lunch, all went to the clubroom.

"What kind of request does the Kendo Club have for us? Could it be the same as Aya's request before?" Yuihama sat on her chair, rocking back and forth, making aimless guesses.

"That's unlikely. Although the Kendo Club lost a top player after the previous club president graduated, their strength is still quite good. They have already qualified for the national tournament and are preparing for it."

Yukino didn't read the book this time; she seemed quite interested in the request and explained it to Yukino little by little.

"Was the previous captain of the kendo club very good? I think I heard a little about her. She was an upperclassman named Toku... what was it?" Hachiman tried hard to recall. In his memory, when he first entered Soubu High School, the school's kendo club seemed to have achieved a very good ranking in the national tournament. The captain even won the individual championship and was very popular in the school.

Unfortunately, Hikigaya was much more somber back then than he is now, and he only listened for a moment before ignoring it.

"Saeko Busujima, Hikigaya-kun, you really live in your own world. The entire kendo club was publicly praised in the auditorium, how could you not know?" Yukinoshita looked at Hikigaya with the eyes of someone looking at a foreigner, while Yuihama nodded in agreement.

"I don't know what's wrong? Nobody said I have to remember." Hachiman pouted, honestly he really couldn't remember.

"Huh? Saeko Busujima?" Upon hearing this name, Yukiteru was stunned. Holy crap, could it really be her?

"What's wrong? Ah, it's normal that you don't know since you just transferred here, but what happened back then was in the newspapers, so you should have heard a little about it, right?" Yukinoshita asked, looking at Yukiteru's surprised expression.

"Yes, I've heard a little about it, but I don't know much about it." Xuehui nodded.

After thinking about it carefully, he stopped worrying about it. The other person had already graduated, and there was no end of the world, so why was he worrying about it?

Since the client hadn't arrived yet, Yukinoshita decided to take some time to give Yukiteru a brief introduction: "Our school's kendo club wasn't very strong to begin with, rarely even winning a place in the prefectural tournament. However, it's said that after Busujima-senpai joined Soubu High School and the kendo club, she directly challenged the original captain and won the position of club president. Under her training and leadership, the previously unknown kendo club not only made it out of the prefectural tournament but also entered the national tournament the following year, achieving excellent results for two consecutive years. Busujima-senpai even won the individual championship for two consecutive years. I originally thought the club would decline after she graduated, but the new captain is quite good; I heard he's Busujima-senpai's junior."

“Oh! I remember! I heard that Busujima-senpai was a hot candidate for student council president, but it seems that she’s not very interested in anything other than the kendo club.” Yuihama added from the side.

Nodding, Xuehui finally learned some of the past events. He never expected to discover another remarkable person, even though the other person had already graduated.

Moreover, it seems that this world doesn't even have the Highschool of the Dead storyline.

"I won't be surprised no matter who comes along in the future. I'm just a novelist, what does it have to do with me?"

Just as I was thinking this, there was a knock on the classroom door.

"Please come in," Yukino said calmly, looking towards the doorway.

The door opened, and a striking figure walked in. She wore the uniform of Soubu High School, had a delicate face, a slightly indifferent expression, and long black hair tied in a single ponytail.

"Does this look familiar?"

Xuehui looked at the black-haired beauty who appeared before him, but he couldn't remember her no matter what.

"Excuse me, this is the Service Club, right? I am the captain of the Kendo Club, and I am Yomi Isayama, a third-year student."

The Underworld of Isayama?!

Xuehui finally realized why he couldn't remember: he hadn't watched much of the anime, only seen character images and some background information.

'I wonder if the other person is an exorcist like in the original work. Wait, could this be another plot hole?'

Xuehui dared not think any further.

Seeing that the client had finally arrived, Yukino Yukinoshita stood up and said, "Hello, senior, I am Yukino Yukinoshita, the president of the Service Club. Please have a seat. Let's talk about your request."

After the remaining people introduced themselves, Isayama Yomi sat down and said, "To be honest, I don't know whether I should ask you for help, but I have a real headache. After listening to Hiratsuka Shizuka's advice, I had no choice but to try my luck."

"Is it about the kendo club?" Yukinoshita asked.

"You could say that, or you could say that." Isayama Yomi nodded, and said with some difficulty, "I took a month's leave a while ago. When I came back to school, I heard from the club members that a freshman came to the kendo club to challenge them. I thought the other person wanted to join, but after defeating one member, they left. Then they came every day, and after defeating one person, they came again the next day."

"Could it be a challenge?" Hachiman asked. "Sometimes people come to challenge other dojos to make a name for themselves. Could that challenger have the same goal?"

Izayama Yomi shook her head: "If that were all, it would be easy to handle, but they're only doing this for fun."

At this point, Isayama Yomi had a bit of a headache.

"Senior, do you know that person?" Xuehui asked, looking at the other person's expression.

"How did you know?" Isayama Yomi looked at Yukiteru with some surprise.

"If the other party is just here to challenge you, as the club president, you wouldn't be afraid to fight. Moreover, I think that you must be quite capable to be able to hold the position of club president. But you still can't deal with it. The only explanation is that the other party is someone you know."

“That’s one aspect.” Izayama Yomi nodded. “The other party is... my junior sister. If it were before, I could teach her a lesson, but the swordsmanship I’m practicing now is no longer suitable for this kind of competition.”

Hearing the other person's words, Xuehui's eyes narrowed: "Senior, you... practice the Killing Sword?"

For a moment, the air in the club room seemed to freeze.

The update is a bit late; there will be two more chapters tonight.

P.S.: More new characters are coming soon, I need to think carefully about the upcoming plot.

PS2: Wearing women's clothing? That's not an option.

Chapter 61 Are you kidding me? (Second Update)

Upon hearing Yukiteru's words, Izayama Yomi narrowed his eyes and asked somewhat unfriendly, "Hiratsuka-kun, may I ask how you figured that out?"

'Is the first reaction not to deny but to ask a question?' This was the thought of all three except Yukiteru.

Xuehui replied nonchalantly, "My senses are quite sharp, and although I haven't studied kendo, Jingjie has given me a crash course in that area. Although it's rare these days, the styles of kendo have been passed down. The kendo styles we usually see have some practical application, but since you've mentioned it, the only thing I can think of is the 'killing sword' style, which is more of a close-quarters combat style. I suppose you haven't used your skills in school or in competitions for a long time."

Staring intently at Yukiteru, Isayama Yomi's expressionless face made the others somewhat nervous. Seeing this, Yukinoshita was secretly annoyed by Yukiteru's careless words. Just as she was about to speak, Isayama Yomi suddenly laughed: "As expected of someone from the Hiratsuka family, just as Hiratsuka-sensei said, exceptionally talented."
