A newbie's anime life diary

"And who are you?" Hearing a slightly more mature female voice on the other end of the phone, Hiratsuka Shizuka was at a loss for words, and the two sisters on the other end were also completely bewildered.

"You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that he is not in danger."

"Where are you? I'm coming right now," Hiratsuka Shizuka said, continuing before waiting for a response, "Since you say he's really not in danger, then let me see him!"

After a moment of silence, Ryougi Shiki changed her mind and said, "Go downstairs, a car will take you there."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

First update since release! Please subscribe and support! Did you see the "1/4" in the title? True to my word, there will be more than three updates today—four updates are on the way!

At the end of this chapter, I've posted the results of my writing last night. I absolutely keep my word and won't skip it; I even exceeded my target. Wow, my stomach is still a bit upset. I was practically obsessed last night.

Suddenly, I realized that the first update after it was released was actually Chapter 101 of the entire book.

What a damn coincidence!

Chapter 11 I've Seen You Before (Available for purchase on February 4th, please support!)

Putting away her phone, Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up and walked straight out the door.

"Shizuka, are you really going?" The Yukinoshita sisters followed Hiratsuka Shizuka out. Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka's tense face and asked, "I heard the voice just now too. It should really be that Saeko Busujima. Given her past behavior, she shouldn't lie to you."

"I know that, but I won't feel at ease unless I see it for myself, and the tone of that woman just now really annoyed me." Hiratsuka Shizuka said coldly as she stomped her foot on the stairs.

I'm really angry.

Behind them, the two sisters exchanged a glance and, unusually, reached a consensus.

It's said that Hiratsuka Shizuka's fiery temper was well-known at school, and many students had experienced her "iron fist" of love, but it wasn't like this before; it was simply and brutally angry.

In other words, it's all talk and no action.

And now, it's probably the calm before the storm.

As expected, a black Mercedes-Benz was parked by the roadside when she went downstairs. A woman with short black hair, dressed in a neat uniform, was standing next to the car. Upon seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka, she stepped forward and said, "Hello, Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka, please get in the car."

"You guys are quick," Hiratsuka said, her eyes narrowed, as if hinting at something. Less than three minutes had passed since she hung up the phone, and the other party had already quietly parked their car there. This wasn't just a matter of efficiency.

Faced with Hiratsuka Shizuka's questioning, the woman simply smiled faintly and opened the car door.

After taking a deep look, Hiratsuka Shizuka, being quite bold, sat down directly inside.

"This looks interesting." Yukino Yukinoshita, who was behind her, saw this scene and seemed to have found something fun. She was about to sit down as well when she was stopped.

"Excuse me, Ms. Yukinoshita, my orders are to only pick up and drop off Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka. Please stop here."

How did you know me? Where are you from?

"Hmm~~Okay!" He tilted his head, nodded, and took a step back.

"Please be understanding." After thanking her, the woman closed the car door for Hiratsuka Shizuka and then got into the driver's seat.

The back window rolled down, and Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the two of them and said, "Go back. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."

"Be careful on the road~~" Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hand with a smile.

"Be careful on the road, Hiratsuka-sensei," Yukino Yukinoshita said, unlike her older sister who was very polite.

Then, the car started and drove forward.

Watching the car drive away, Yukino Yukinoshita's smile vanished, and she immediately rushed towards the parking lot.

Seeing her sister's actions, Yukino knew exactly what she was thinking, and shook her head as she slowly followed.

When she arrived at the parking lot, she saw her sister sitting in the car, trying to start it repeatedly.

"Strange, why can't it start?" After turning it again and finding it still unresponsive, Yang Nai, her face darkening, picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Did you catch up? What? You lost them? What are you guys doing?! They drove off so brazenly and you lost them?"

After saying that, he threw his phone onto the passenger seat with a "thud" and turned the car key in a huff.

"Boom!"

The car started...

"..." Yang Nai turned her face to look at her younger sister and blinked.

"..." The two sisters looked at each other for a moment, then Yukino turned around and walked back. "Let's go upstairs."

We must get our revenge.

This is the only thought in Ms. Yang's mind right now.

--------

In the car.

Hiratsuka sat quietly in the car, looking at the woman driving, and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Tokyo," the other party replied directly, without hiding anything.

Raising an eyebrow, Hiratsuka Shizuka had originally thought it would be somewhere further away, but it turned out to be Tokyo, which was somewhat unexpected.

Why would Xuehui be with you?

"I'm sorry, these are not things I can know. I'm just responsible for picking you up and dropping you off." The woman's voice remained calm and indifferent, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

"...Is there anything you want to say?"

"I feel that what you want to know is not something I can tell you."

"You're being way too rigid," Hiratsuka Shizuka said, looking at the woman in front of her with a hint of exasperation.

The car stopped at a red light, and the woman said with a slight smile, "When you're working, you absolutely can't make mistakes; that's our most basic professional quality. Besides, my boyfriend has said that he really likes the way I look when I'm focused."

While I can't discuss confidential matters, I can chat with other people while picking them up or dropping them off.

"You actually have a boyfriend?!" Well, Hiratsuka Shizuka was provoked again. She looked at herself through the rearview mirror and found that this short-haired woman was actually quite good-looking, with regular features, fair skin, and a heroic air.

Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's surprised expression, the woman nodded and said with a hint of happiness, "We're getting married next month."

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Suddenly, she seemed to hear something shatter. She looked up and saw Hiratsuka Shizuka staring coldly out the window, seemingly unwilling to speak.

A hint of doubt flashed across his face, but he stopped talking and focused on driving.

After an hour's drive, the car arrived at one of the few luxury residential areas in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward and stopped in front of the only Japanese-style mansion there.

"I've been here before. When did such a large house appear?" Looking out the window at the wall in front of her, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked puzzled.

The driver didn't answer her question. Instead, he said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Hiratsuka, my car can only go this far and can't go any further. Mr. Busujima should be here to pick you up soon. Please wait a moment."

Sure enough, the car hadn't been stopped for long when the gate of the house opened, and Saeko Busujima walked out wearing a furisode.

The driver then got out of the car and opened the door for Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Saeko Busujima stepped forward, bowed slightly to Shizuka Hiratsuka as she got out of the car, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you to come over here, Hiratsuka-sensei."

"I won't let this go until I get a satisfactory explanation." Even now, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't bring herself to be friendly towards this former model student.

"Please come with me." With that, Saeko Busujima led Shizuka Hiratsuka inside.

As she passed through the gate, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the name written on the doorplate.

'Liangyi? Which company is that?'

Stepping into the mansion and looking at the front yard, which was even larger than she had imagined, Hiratsuka Shizuka's doubts grew. Although the Hiratsuka family did not participate in politics and did not have the social status of the Yukinoshita family after combining business and politics, their status in the domestic business world was definitely not low after they began to engage in business several generations ago.

But surprisingly, he had no idea about this family that owned such a huge mansion in Chiyoda!

A few minutes later, led by Saeko Busujima, they finally arrived at the main house, changed their shoes, and followed her to the living room door.

"Teacher, the person has been brought."

"Come in." The voice I heard on the phone earlier came through again.

She opened the door and went inside. Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately saw Ryougi Shiki sitting in front of her.

"You...I've seen you before!"

I was originally planning to post it at 12 o'clock, but I'll post it now.

Second update! There's more to come! Chapter 3 will be around 4 PM. Please subscribe! I'm begging you to subscribe!

Chapter 12 Jing is so cute it's explosive, Jing is terrifying it's online (3/4 bonus chapter)

Ryougi Shiki, who was sitting in meditation, opened her eyes and calmly looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka standing at the door.

"Hello, we have indeed met before. I am the owner of this place, Ryougi Shiki."

Having received confirmation from the other party, Hiratsuka Shizuka finally realized that the person in front of her was indeed the mother of the mother and daughter she had seen in Roppongi the previous night.

Furthermore, just now Saeko Busujima called the other person "teacher"?

As they walked this far, the servants along the way showed Saeko Busujima exceptional respect, indicating that this woman was indeed in charge.

Guided by Saeko Busujima, Shizuka Hiratsuka sat down in front of Ryougi Shiki, while Saeko Busujima poured tea for her, and Ryougi Shiki watched quietly.

Looking at Ryougi Shiki, this short-haired, somewhat androgynous woman, Hiratsuka Shizuka inexplicably felt a sense of pressure, a pressure even more pronounced than that of her own mother.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, please have some tea."

Seeing the teacup that Saeko Busujima pushed in front of her, she didn't want to dawdle, but out of politeness, she picked it up and took a sip.

"Thank you, but I've come here not to drink tea." Setting down her teacup, she asked, "Where is Yukiteru?"

She glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka, whose expression remained as calm as ever, and said, "She's asleep."

"Huh? What kind of answer is that?" Hiratsuka Shizuka clearly didn't believe it. It was the middle of the afternoon, and she knew very well whether Yukiteru had a habit of taking a nap or not. Even if he did, he should be awake by now.

"That's the truth, she really did fall asleep." Ryougi Shiki gave the same answer, and she wasn't lying to her.

"Where is he? I want to go see him." With that, Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up, but was immediately stopped by Busujima Saeko, who had also stood up.

"What do you mean?"

In response to Hiratsuka Shizuka's questioning, Ryougi Shiki replied, "As you can see, but I cannot let you see him yet."

"I'm finding you all increasingly suspicious. Move aside, I'll go find it myself." He said, looking at Saeko Busujima.

With a wry smile, Saeko Busujima looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka, whose anger was clearly rising, and replied, "I'm sorry, Hiratsuka-sensei, I really can't let you go."
