A newbie's anime life diary

Behind the group, Ebina Hina, who had remained silent, looked at Yukiteru's back and revealed a mysterious smile.

Without the interference of Miura Yumiko and the others, the two continued their stroll.

While waiting in line, Yukiteru looked at Yukino, who hadn't said a word since earlier, and said, "Excuse me for what I said earlier."

"They're in your class, won't it be awkward when you see them in the future?" Yukinoshita didn't look at him, standing there quietly as she spoke.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who cares? Too many interpersonal relationships are exhausting. I only need a few close friends, and I don't care what impression they have of me," Xuehui said nonchalantly.

"Strange rumors may circulate."

"That's true, I was a bit inconsiderate." Recalling his previous remarks, Xuehui realized that his wording was inappropriate. "If any rumors that are bad for you really spread, I will deal with them."

Shaking her head, Yukinoshita didn't say anything more, leaving Yukiteru unsure of her meaning.

Once aboard the sightseeing boat, the two temporarily forgot about what had just happened and focused on the scenery before them.

In addition to replicating Disneyland in the United States, Japan's Disneyland has also incorporated its own advanced equipment in terms of sound effects and lighting, resulting in truly excellent effects and a strong sense of immersion.

After the tour, the sightseeing boat docked. Yukiteru went ashore and reached out to Yukinoshita, pulling her aboard.

"Thank you."

There were no particularly deliberate movements; everything made Yukino feel very comfortable.

Smiling and shaking his head, Xuehui checked the time. It was already past 4 o'clock, and there was still some time before the evening fireworks display.

Next, the two decided to head to the castle in the middle of the park, where they could relax and then watch the fireworks show.

Walking along the road, surrounded by enthusiastic tourists, Xuehui suddenly felt a sharp force pressing down on his back.

Stopping and turning around, Xuehui looked around but found nothing, and frowned in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Yukinoshita looked at Yukiteru's movements and looked back, only to find that there were only people around.

"I felt like someone was watching me just now, was it just my imagination?"

"Having too much of yourself isn't a good thing."

For once, Yukinoshita made a small sarcastic remark about Yukiteru.

"Is that so? Well, maybe I'm just overthinking it." After thinking about it, Xuehui also felt that he was being too sensitive. He hadn't stolen or robbed anyone, so how could he be so easily targeted?

The two continued forward, and at the same time, from behind a corner of the wall, a woman wearing Mickey Mouse-themed glasses and a hat that covered most of her face slowly emerged, attracting frequent glances from those around her.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person was a beautiful woman dressed very fashionably, someone would have called the police long ago.

"Hmph~ You're quite perceptive, aren't you? You almost got caught. But the tracking skills I've honed over the years by following Yukino aren't so easily cracked. Let's see if you've forgotten those words now, Yukino..."

Disney offers exciting activities not only during the day but also at night, and the upcoming fireworks display tonight will make visitors reluctant to leave.

The crepes tasted good, but the portion was too small for Yukiteru. Even Yukino Yukinoshita felt tired and hungry after playing around. Physical strength is usually a weakness for girls, and she was surprised by how active she was today.

"Are you tired? How about we find a place to sit down and have something to eat?" Xuehui suggested, looking at Yukinoshita beside him, whose cheeks were flushed.

She glanced at her watch; it was almost 7 a.m., and frowned. She had eaten a bit too much today, but the fatigue and hunger made her nod in agreement.

Although it's a Disneyland, it's still located in Japan. While there aren't many sushi options, there are still some shops here, though they are a bit pricey.

After buying two servings of sushi, I found a bench to sit on and started eating.

"Ugh...it's nothing like the last time I ate here." After putting a piece of sushi in his mouth, chewing it, and swallowing it, Yukiteru commented. He was naturally referring to the Ginza restaurant that he had gone to with Hiratsuka Shizuka last time.

"You can't find many places in all of Japan that serve that kind of food, so don't be so picky."

Yukinoshita said, slowly chewing her food. Although she came from a wealthy family, she wasn't particularly picky about food. After all, she lived alone now, and although she had enough money for living expenses, she couldn't cook anything fancy for herself. Simple meals were enough to satisfy her appetite.

In this respect, Yukinoshita is indeed quite different from those so-called young ladies.

Gradually, after Yukiteru finished a box of sushi, Yukinoshita still had half a box left in her hand. There was no way she could eat much; she didn't have a big appetite to begin with, and with sushi consisting mostly of rice, she could eat even less.

However, Yukinoshita, who always adheres to the principle of not wasting food, looked at the sushi in her hand with a conflicted expression.

"What's wrong? Can't you eat anymore?"

The question from beside her made Yukino turn around. After thinking for a moment, she handed over the box in her hand: "We can't waste it."

"It's really simple and straightforward. Oh well, I'm not full anyway." Xuehui smiled, took the box, picked up his chopsticks and started eating. Sushi is supposed to be served in individual pieces, so there's no need to worry about things like men and women not being able to touch each other.

However, what he didn't notice was that, under the snowy night sky, the blush on the face looking at him became even more pronounced.

"Hiratsuka-kun, Yuihama's assessment of you was indeed correct."

What did she say about me?

Are you a pig?

"Hey! That's obviously swearing, okay? I think I only ate a lot at the last book signing event!" Putting down the sushi box, Yukiteru looked at Yukinoshita with dissatisfaction. "Yuihama eats quite a lot herself too. Every time we go out for tutoring, doesn't she order dessert three or four times in a row?"

"Didn't you know that desserts are stored in a girl's other stomach?"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know."

As they talked, they fell silent. Looking up at the darkening sky, Xuehui murmured to himself, "Life is really good now."

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Suddenly, bursts of fireworks bloomed in the dark night sky, forming different patterns. Tourists in the square stopped in their tracks, watching this spectacular display.

At the other end of the plaza, Yui looked at Hachiman beside her and said, "Hachiman, I..."

"Hey, Yukinoshita." Fireworks burst in the sky, and Yukiteru turned to look at the girl beside him. "I..."

Chapter 79 Suddenly, someone emerged from the crowd...

"Bang!" "Bang!"

As fireworks lit up the sky, Hachiman turned to Yui beside him and asked, "What did you just say?"

"Ugh...it's nothing." Yui opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything more, and lowered her head in disappointment.

Standing a few steps away from the two, Komachi watched this scene in disbelief. This was a common trope in anime, so why did it happen here by sheer coincidence?

"Yui-nee, Komachi can't help you anymore. You'll have to do your best on your own."

Despite all their efforts, Komachi, the ultimate assist weapon, still failed to achieve final victory.

On the other side, just as Yukinoshita turned around and Yukiteru was about to speak, accompanied by the sound of fireworks, a figure rushed out from behind and hugged Yukinoshita tightly.

"Little~Yuki~no~"

Accompanied by a faint fragrance, Yukinoshita's initial panic was suppressed, replaced by anger.

"Sister, you scared me!"

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I wanted to give Yukino a surprise." The stylishly dressed woman rubbed against the reluctant Yukino and then came to stand in front of the two of them.

She looked at Yuki and introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, classmate. I'm Yukino's older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno. You can just call me Haruno."

"Hiratsuka Yukiteru, a member of the Service Club, hello, Yukinoshita's older sister." Yukiteru looked at the stylish woman in front of her and said politely.

"Sigh~ Just call me Haruno." As she spoke, Yukinoshita Haruno squeezed between the two of them, pressing against Yukiteru's arm, and said, "Hey, can you tell me what your relationship is with Yukino?"

"Sister!" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her sister, no longer able to think about why she was there, as her sister's actions had completely enraged her.

However, Yukinoshita Haruno still looked at Yukiteru with a smile, waiting for his answer.

Looking at the woman's body pressed tightly against his arm, Xuehui marveled at her boldness and powerful disguise, and said without much panic, "I already said, we're members of the gang, or if you have to say, friends."

"Huh... really? Hey, what were you saying to Yukino just now? Could it be...?"

"..." Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno, whose big eyes were blinking with curiosity, Yukiteru sighed and said, "You're too close. Your big face scared me."

"..." Yukino Yukino opened her mouth, but faced with the other party's sudden remarks, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Big face? She clearly has a classic oval face!

On the other side, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was initially a little worried, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw her sister's reaction.

Before Yukino could react, Yukiteru said, "What I was going to say was that someone quietly approached Yukino from behind, but there was no hostility. Before I could even say it, you pounced on me. To be honest, I was startled too."

"Hehe~ Is that so? I don't think it should be a confession?"

Yukino looked at Yukiteru with a scrutinizing gaze and muttered to herself, "An amusement park, under fireworks—isn't that the perfect place to confess your feelings?"

"This kind of scene is indeed nice, and it's also very suitable for men and women to confess their feelings."

Hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's words, Yukiteru nodded in agreement, while Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly.

Xuehui continued, "But this environment is too noisy. If the fireworks explode, the other person might not be able to hear you clearly. At that time, all the courage you've mustered up will be gone. So I wouldn't choose such a scene to confess my feelings."

"Achoo!" On one side of the square, Yui Yui's group sneezed, startling Hachiman Hikigaya and Komachi beside her.

"Is that so? That's good!" After carefully observing Yukiteru, Yukinoshita Haruno turned around and pounced on Yukino, hugging her younger sister and saying, "Waaah, Yukino-chan, I'm so sad! You didn't even take me with you when you came out to play!"

Feeling a little uncomfortable in her older sister's embrace, Yukino frowned and said, "It's a club activity today, so of course we won't be inviting you."

"Not normally," the girl silently added to herself.

"Club activities? Is it just the two of you?"

"Sister, stop pretending. You know my club situation very well, otherwise you wouldn't be here." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her sister, who was sticking close to her and pretending to be obedient, with a hint of displeasure on her face.

"Well, I'm just worried about you. If you accidentally get kidnapped by someone, Yukino-chan, Mother will be furious."

Yukino frowned at Haruno's words and glanced at Yukiteru on the other side. Seeing that he seemed to be focused on the fireworks display and hadn't heard their conversation, Yukino breathed a small sigh of relief.

Little did they know that Yang Nai had seen all of this.

About ten minutes later, the fireworks display ended, and Komachi called.

"Are you coming over? Hmm, we're on a bench on the west side of the square; we should be quite noticeable."

After hanging up the phone, Yukiteru said to Yukino Yukinoshita, "Komachi and the others are also in the plaza, but on the other side. They're on their way."

Sure enough, within two minutes, Komachi, Hachiman Hikigaya, and Yui Yuigahama walked towards them.

"Huh? Why is there another person here? Yuki, is she someone you know?" Yui looked at Haruno, who was sitting close to Yukinoshita, with some confusion.

The three stood up, and Yukino, with a cheerful smile, said, "Hello everyone, I am Yukino's older sister, Yukinoshita Yukino."

"Ah, is that the former student council president, Haruno-senpai? Hello, I'm Yui Yuigahama, and I'm Yuki's classmate." Yui Yuigahama recognized the person in front of her immediately, since they had discussed the school's student council matters before.

"Hachiman Hikigaya is also in the Service Club," Hachiman Hikigaya introduced casually. He felt something was off about this seemingly perfect senior.

"Hi! I'm Komachi Hikigaya~ I'm a middle school student!"
