A newbie's anime life diary

"If you didn't say anything, don't ask." The two of them kept the same story, refusing to mention what had happened in the past half hour.

"Alright, let's cut the cake." If this goes on, it'll never end. Yuki looked at the watch that Yui was already wearing on her wrist and could roughly guess what Yui was going to say. As for what Hachiman said, that was the real mystery.

The group shared the cake in the clubroom and celebrated for a while before tidying up the room and leaving.

In the evening, at Yuihama's house.

"I'm back!"

Yuihama's mother, who was preparing to celebrate her daughter's birthday, heard the door open.

"You're back? Wow, so much stuff." The wife asked with a smile, looking at the several boxes in her daughter's bag and the watch on her wrist.

"Hehe, it's a birthday present from a friend."

"This watch too? Which guy gave it to you?" As someone with more experience, the wife knew more than Yukino and the others, and she understood very well what such gifts meant.

"Mom!" Yuihama blushed and looked at her mother with displeasure as she saw her mother expose her.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. Yui has grown up so much." The lady watched Yui walk upstairs with a look of emotion on her face.

That night, while Yuihama's parents were celebrating their daughter's birthday, Yukiteru and Yukinoshita were in their respective rooms, looking at the information they had found, and their expressions of realization dawned on them.

"Well, I suppose that's what he meant. Has Hachiman finally made up his mind? That's good." Yukiteru shut down his computer, lay down on the bed, and stared at the bedroom ceiling.

"It's been three months since I came here, not a long time, not a short time either. What should I do next? Write novels? Or make games like I said the other day? Well... I'll figure it out eventually, won't I?"

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

However, in a large mansion unknown to him, Saeko Busujima, a senior he had met a few days ago, was kneeling in the hall, dressed in a kimono, listening to the report from the three men in front of her.

"Are those people from the four countries up to no good again? They've even started to extend their reach to other places. But since they're here, they can't blame us. Have the people in the information department keep a close watch on everything happening in the Chiba area. If anything happens, contact the action team immediately and suppress everything."

"Yes!" After a respectful reply, the three men got up and left the hall.

Reaching for the samurai sword beside her, Saeko Busujima placed it on her lap and stroked it before looking out at the moon.

"Teacher, could this be the opportunity that the priestess spoke of? But what will happen next, even she herself cannot predict..."

The first volume is almost finished, and the outline for the second volume is being revised. The volume that was scheduled to be released should be available soon.

Chapter 91: Deduction is no longer effective; now, guns, cars, balls, and boom are all the rage!

Life went on peacefully, with the Service Department occasionally receiving one or two clients, but most of them had issues like relationship counseling. Yukiteru had repeatedly asked Hiratsuka Shizuka not to bring these kinds of requests to the Service Department, since this wasn't a dating counseling center.

However, Yuihama was surprisingly interested in these matters, so Yukiteru and Hikigaya were happy to leave things to Yui and pushed the matter to Yui-chan. Yukino Yukinoshita, who originally wanted to stay away, was also dragged into listening.

"Is it really okay for you to just sit there drinking tea and not help?" With a slight stomachache, Xuehui closed the fourth volume of Love Metronome that he had just finished reading. Don't ask him what was written in the book; he didn't want to remember it at all.

"Other things are fine, but getting involved in these kinds of requests would only make things worse," Hachiman said matter-of-factly, without feeling there was anything wrong with saying that about himself.

"It seems you're the only one who has no right to say that." He glanced at Hikigaya, then at the watch on Yuihama's wrist, a wicked grin on his face.

"My experience is absolutely useless as a reference, and we definitely didn't get to that point." Taking a sip of tea with a thick skin, and tossing the second volume of *Sword Art Online*, which had only been released a few days prior, Hachiman said, "Great author, you're just wasting your time here all day, don't you care about the sales of your novels?"

"This kind of thing can be left to the editors and the library. My work is done, and I've already received my manuscript fee and royalties. Now all that's left is to wait for the market to test it. But judging from the online response, it seems to be doing quite well."

Looking at the cover of the novel in his hand, Hachiman bought it directly from the bookstore after school on the day of its release. As Yukiteru said, the response was indeed good; there weren't many copies left when he went to buy it.

"Although it doesn't continue from the first volume, it does expand on the previous timeline. But are you trying to write a harem novel? All the characters are female, and they all have feelings for the protagonist."

Shaking his head, Xuehui said with an air of superiority, "No, no, no, there is only one female protagonist in this novel."

Yes, that's how it is for now. As long as I haven't written the Underworld arc and Alice hasn't appeared, Asuna will always be the female protagonist.

As for the future... who cares.

Hikigaya glanced at Yukiteru, his face full of disbelief: "I have a feeling you have some tricks up your sleeve. I heard all the suggestions you gave Aki Tomoya in the game script. I think the person who plays that game in the end will be really conflicted."

The first draft of Kasumigaoka Utaha's script was released these past few days. I have to say that this senior has already shown the demeanor of a master of stomach medicine. When she writes a story, she makes you feel warm in the beginning, and then gradually makes you feel the entanglement between the characters in the later stages. In the end, even though you know you will be stimulated, you still can't help but keep reading, and finally you will be greeted with a stomachache and a tremor in your brain.

Yukiteru only offered a few suggestions to further strengthen the connections between the various storylines, after which Kasumigaoka Utaha continued to work on revisions.

As for the next steps in the game, besides character design and CG, what needs to be done is to refine the programming and side quests.

However, there's no rush; we have a whole summer vacation to complete these tasks.

Yukiteru originally didn't plan to get involved in these things, but seeing Aki Tomoya's enthusiastic invitation and Kasumigaoka Utaha's expectant look, Yukiteru thought about it and figured he should find something to do during the whole summer vacation, so he agreed.

About ten minutes later, the first-year student, after listening to Yuihama's seemingly reliable advice, thanked her gratefully and left the Service Club.

"I thought you were going to encourage that junior to confess to the third-year student." After the client left, Yuki said to Yuihama.

"Don't think of me as so boring, okay? They came here, and you guys aren't willing to take them on, so of course I have to find a solution for them! Besides, you can't be so hasty when it comes to love. So I had that junior girl gather information and get to know them before considering whether we should focus our attention on them. Love is important, but you can't just do it recklessly!"

Yuihama sat in the chair, speaking in a serious and methodical manner.

This made Yukito look at her with newfound respect: "I really didn't expect to hear these words from Yuihama, even though you've always done the same thing before."

"Ugh... Don't say this!" Blushing, she picked up a pen from the table and pointed it at Yukiteru, threatening him. She glanced at Hachiman, and seeing that he didn't seem to care much, she hummed twice and then ignored Yukiteru.

On the way home, Yukiteru asked Yukino Yukinoshita, "Do you know what happened between Yuigahama and Hikigaya?"

"Didn't you ask Hachiman?"

"Do you think he'd tell? He hasn't even told his own sister, otherwise I wouldn't have come to ask you." Xuehui shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

“Yuihama did tell me a little bit, but I promised her I wouldn’t tell anyone,” Yukinoshita replied after a moment’s thought.

"Can't even I tell you?"

"Hiratsuka-kun, do you think I'm the kind of person who would agree to something and then turn around and tell the secret to someone else?" Yukinoshita turned her face and looked at Yukiteru calmly.

"I'm so sorry, I won't ask anymore. Anyway, we'll find out in time. I'll just suppress my curiosity for now." Since the other party had said that, Xuehui had no choice but to be patient and not say anything more.

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

It has to be said that, as a high school student, although Yukiteru currently has a job as a light novel writer, his life is not busy at all, given how quickly he finishes his work.

Every day, I attend classes, chat and drink tea in the Service Club, occasionally discuss new games with Aki Tomoya (not visual novels), and comment on other light novels with Kasumigaoka Utaha. Before I knew it, this semester was about to end.

Japan's high school semester system consists of three semesters. The first semester runs from April to the end of June or the beginning of July, followed by a summer vacation of about 50 days after the exams.

The first activity of the summer vacation was decided on the very day the exam results came out.

Yuihama continued her good attitude from the midterm exams, studying diligently under everyone's supervision. Finally, unlike in her first year, she didn't have to come to school for remedial classes and retakes during the summer vacation.

This time, she was the one who proposed the activity.

"Watching a movie?" Sitting in the Service Club classroom, several people looked at the web page information on Yuihama's phone.

"Detective Conan movie?"

"A completely dark nightmare?" Hachiman read on, following Yukiteru's words, then looked at Yuihama in surprise. "You like this?"

"Aren't there a lot of people online saying they want to see it? It just so happens that it's been released these past few days, wouldn't it be a shame not to go see it? I remember the last time I watched Detective Conan was when I was in junior high school," Yui Hama said with a nostalgic look.

Yukino looked at the promotional page and frowned: "Although they've released one film a year for the past few years, it seems the reviews aren't very high."

"There's no way around it. To make money, the movie version has completely abandoned the mystery elements. These days, the elements that can attract box office revenue for commercial films are, of course, guns, cars, sports, and explosions. I bet you guys, some high-rise building or public place will definitely be blown up this time, and quite a few times." Xuehui said matter-of-factly. Although he was a little surprised that the 20th theatrical version in this world had only just been released, he quickly came to terms with it. Timelines and such didn't really matter.

"If that's the case, then isn't it completely different from the original?" Yukinoshita knew that all of this was for the sake of box office revenue, but she still couldn't quite understand it.

"The world is vast, but making money is the most important thing," Xuehui could only say.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it so much. How about we go see it tomorrow?" Yui Hama suggested excitedly. She didn't really care what we saw, as long as we could all go out and have fun together.

Ultimately, Yuihama's proposal was passed unanimously.

(End of Volume 1)

When I got home, I turned on my computer and started typing. Finally, it stopped raining. It's been raining all morning! Shanghai has been absolutely crazy these past few days.

P.S.: Volume 1 is finished, Volume 2 will start speeding up.

Chapter 1: At this point, just smile.

As we enter July, the temperature is already quite muggy.

Xuehui kicked off the blanket that had been covering him and made him wake up from the heat, sat up, and picked up the alarm clock to check the time with his messy hair.

"It's only eight o'clock, ugh... sob..."

I got out of bed, groggily went to the living room, poured myself a glass of water and drank it down. I finally felt a little better.

"I remember the appointment was at 1 p.m., that's still early, let's go take a nap."

I staggered back to the bedroom, took out the air conditioner remote, turned it on, set an alarm, and then collapsed onto the bed again.

"It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that the game I bought yesterday was too tempting. I need to catch up on sleep for this afternoon's activities. Hmm, it's not that I'm lazy..."

Xuehui slept in until almost 12 o'clock before finally getting up to brush her teeth, wash her face, take a shower, and quickly make something to eat in the kitchen. There were only 15 minutes left until 1 o'clock.

Dressed neatly, I went downstairs and, as usual, arrived at the apartment building. I sent a message to Yukino Yukinoshita, knowing that she was different from me and wouldn't have an irregular schedule that would make it impossible to contact her.

Sure enough, a few minutes after receiving the reply, Yukino Yukinoshita appeared downstairs at the apartment building across the street.

Also appearing at the same time is Yukinoshita Haruno, who occasionally sends messages to harass Yukiteru.

Ever since this extremely devoted brother discovered Yuki's "ill-gotten" intentions, even though Yuki had expressed his feelings, he still kept an eye on him, sending him messages from time to time and occasionally trying to invite him out to meet.

Heaven knows what this woman is up to, so Xuehui didn't reply to any of the messages on her phone. To this day, all the messages on her phone have been opened but never touched again.

However, the other party remained unmoved by such actions, which shows that their tolerance level is extremely high.

I can't learn it, I can't learn it.

"Hello, Yukiteru-kun~" (Scratch that, Hino) As soon as she saw Yukiteru, she flashed a bright smile, waved, and walked up to him, saying, "Count me in today, I'm so bored~"

"...Whatever makes you happy." Xuehui replied with a smile, without refusing.

He knew exactly what Yukino Yukinoshita was planning. When she said she was going out to play together, the subtext was, "Kid, I'll be keeping an eye on you."

Well, it doesn't matter, it's not just him and Yukino anyway.

"I'm so sorry, but I just couldn't shake this guy off. He just kept following me." Yukino Yukinoshita followed her sister up, saying with a hint of apology, completely unconcerned about Haruno's puffed-up face.
