A newbie's anime life diary

Therefore, Yukiteru, who was originally just under observation as a potential talent, was directly upgraded several levels to the level of "future son-in-law" after Ryougi Shiki learned about the situation in her daughter's dream and considered various factors such as temperament, ability, and most importantly, the possible existence of the Mystic Eye.

Of course, the 12-year-old Mina, though quite mature, was too shy to say any of this. She only mentioned that Yukiteru had been designated as a candidate for observation and training, and that they were preparing to recruit him.

The last time I saved that Onmyoji and killed two rats was the trigger, because this incident brought the original plan forward.

Then, by sheer coincidence, Yukiteru was dealing with Homura Akemi's situation. With no other option, in order to ensure Yukiteru's safety, Saeko Busujima had to take it upon herself to bring him back.

Hearing this, Xuehui understood that the whole thing stemmed from his kidnapping incident. Although there was no evidence to support any suspicions after he changed his appearance, as a large family with members everywhere, someone in the Metropolitan Police Department would naturally report his case.

Then, as a matter of course, it was analyzed, and the case was suppressed.

Moreover, according to what Mina said, her transformation ability was mistaken by the other party for a spirit summoning ability.

Yukiteru didn't understand much about these things, so he was very curious and, regardless of whether he was tied up, asked Ryougi Mina for clarification.

In the little girl's mind, Xuehui had already stepped halfway into the door of her Ryougi family, so there was nothing wrong with telling him these things. Therefore, Xiaowei, who had been exposed to this kind of knowledge since childhood, began to explain it in a very logical and eloquent manner.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"I disagree!" Hiratsuka Shizuka slammed the documents in her hand onto the floor, and waited for Ryougi Shiki to speak. "I remember your daughter, she should only be a little over 10 years old, right?"

“It’s 12 years old,” Ryougi Shiki corrected Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"So you know it's 12 years old?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was speechless. What had she just heard? The other party actually said that Yukiteru should marry her daughter and then become a son-in-law?

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that she was increasingly unable to understand the world.

Although it is not uncommon for families to arrange marriages from childhood, it is becoming increasingly rare these days. Hiratsuka Shizuka herself has never experienced this; at most, she is forced to go on blind dates by her elders, and she just goes through the motions.

But who would have thought that she would see something so direct now, and that her daughter, who is only 12 years old, has chosen a husband who is already 17.

“I’ve already said it all. He has awakened the same abilities as me. As long as he marries into the Liangyi family, half of the Liangyi family will be his in the future. And I believe my daughter can be a good wife.”

"I don't care about precognitive dreams or magic eyes. As Yukiteru's guardian, I don't agree to this! Besides, he already has a girl he likes." Hiratsuka Shizuka persisted, even bringing up Yukiteru's private affairs.

"Hmm? Is that so?" Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly and looked at Saeko Busujima beside her. "Why didn't you tell me about these things?"

"Teacher, based on what we know, although Yukiteru-kun has a good relationship with several girls, he hasn't shown any romantic interest in that area, so I can't make any assumptions," Saeko Busujima replied immediately, clearly surprised by what Shizuka Hiratsuka said.

“You should have met Yukino Yukinoshita before,” Hiratsuka Shizuka said to Saeko Busujima, thinking that she had finally managed to nip the other woman’s idea in the bud.

As a result, after understanding the situation, Ryougi Shiki thought about it and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't think Mina is any worse than anyone else. He'll know once he spends some time with him."

Hearing Ryougi Shiki's words, Hiratsuka Shizuka had nothing to say. As long as it wasn't decided outright, there was always the possibility of stopping it. After all, her previous disagreement had its own selfish motives.

Looking at the silent Hiratsuka Shizuka, Ryougi Shiki suddenly said, "You care about your age?"

The sudden question startled Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Why...why are you asking this?"

Ryougi Shiki didn't explain, but stood up and said, "The spell has disappeared, he's awake, let's go."

Upon hearing what the other person said, Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't care about getting up and immediately followed behind.

Arriving in front of a room on the east side, Ryougi Shiki looked at the talismans pasted on both sides of the door and frowned: "What is this child trying to do, blocking the door?"

Of course, these things were completely useless to her. With a flick of her magic eye, she tore them apart and then opened the door.

Inside the room, what everyone saw was Xuehui sitting up, placing his hands on Ryougi Mina's waist as she straddled him, the little girl blushing shyly, seemingly both refusing and welcoming.

Ryougi Shiki remained expressionless, leaving Saeko Busujima and Shizuka Hiratsuka utterly shocked.

Xuehui stared blankly at the three people at the door, looking at his and Ryougi Mina's current posture, then at his own hands, and said with a sincere expression, "Um, do you believe me if I say this is all a misunderstanding?"

Second update~

Let me mention first that I'll be updating three times a day for the next few days, at 12:00, 15:00, and 18:00. If I get really into it and manage to upload an extra chapter or two, I'll usually upload those in the evening; I'll let you know the exact time later.

That's all, thanks for your support!

Chapter 16 Little Devil Mina (3/3)

Let's move back five minutes.

After listening to Ryougi Mina's explanation, Yukiteru also understood some knowledge about spirit summoning abilities.

Simply put, in this world, the ability of spirit summoning is similar to that of summoning, except that it summons a person or species from a concept, fantasy, or history to possess the body. The character's personality and abilities are formed from the conceptual understanding of that person in the past world.

Ultraman possesses a human host, now you understand, right?

The character summoned through spirit summoning usually has an impact on the user.

To give a simple example, someone with exceptional talent for spirit summoning, after mastering the technique, might attempt to summon the Martial Saint Guan Yu to possess them. Upon success, they would receive a corresponding boost: their combat power, the Martial Saint's techniques, and their physical attributes would be dramatically enhanced. Of course, the preconceived notions of Guan Yu in human perception would also influence them, causing some degree of change in their personality.

For reasons that are hard to define as either advantages or disadvantages, spirit summoning is not a popular discipline in the underworld, because there are simply too many variables involved.

So if they are people with good personalities and abilities, that's fine. But what if some cult leader tries to fuse with an evil god or something...? Although Xuehui doesn't know if there are such things as tentacle evil gods in this world, he guesses that it would probably burst his head before he could even summon it.

Yes, it explodes like a watermelon being smashed.

Boom! It exploded instantly.

The San value has decreased? No, it hasn't.

Based on what Ryougi Mina said, Yukiteru also understood why his ability was considered a spirit summoning ability, or rather, a spirit summoning ability that arose naturally.

'But that's fine too, saves me from having to make excuses again.'

Thinking of this, Xuehui looked at Ryougi Mina, who was still sitting on him, and said, "Um, Mina, could you get off first?"

Ryougi Mina tilted her head, a slight blush on her face, and said sweetly, "Brother Xuehui, don't you like this?"

I do like her, but it would be better if it were someone else. I'm not a lolicon.

Of course, he could only think the above in his mind. He looked at Ryougi Mina, shook his head, and said, "This is not a good thing, after all, you are a girl."

"Sigh... Why is it like this?" Ryougi Mina seemed a little disappointed. "Does Mina have absolutely no appeal?"

Yes, it's very attractive to those who have a thing for lolis.

Seeing that Ryougi Mina was still unwilling to leave, Yukiteru had no choice but to say, "Um, Mina, I've been sleeping for three days. Although I've been holding on thanks to the previous spell, I'm still very hungry. Could you let me go first so I can eat something? And I'd like to see your mother, since I've been here for several days now."

Upon hearing Xuehui's words, Ryougi Mina thought about it for a while and agreed that it was indeed the case; Xuehui should be allowed to meet her mother.

Nodding, Ryougi Mina pointed a finger at the rope binding Yukiteru's body, and his body naturally loosened.

He sat up, rubbed his hands, and looked at Ryougi Mina, who was now even closer to him, and felt that this was not a good thing.

"Little Wei Na, shouldn't you get down now? I can't move like this."

"Hehe, Xuehui-gege, can you carry me down?" Weina said to Xuehui in a coquettish tone, showing no signs of awkwardness despite it being their second meeting today.

Faced with such an adorable little girl, even though Yukiteru wasn't a lolicon, he couldn't resist her coquettishness, so he reached out to pick her up.

Just then, the door opened, and three people appeared in the doorway.

The scene was quite awkward at one point.

The three people at the door were his guardian, his senior from high school, and the mother of the girl who was sitting on him.

Even though he really hadn't done anything wrong, facing the gazes of these three people and the blushing face of the little girl in front of him, Xuehui felt that he was truly speechless.

The child got on the seat himself!

Do you think they would believe it? At least Xuehui herself, if she were in their shoes, would never believe it.

"You brat, do you know what you're doing?" Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke first, her eyes blazing with fury as she watched the scene unfold.

I was so worried about you, I even got into a fight with someone outside, and you were flirting with a 12-year-old girl here?

Hiratsuka Shizuka involuntarily raised her fist.

Seeing Jingke's... terrifying actions, Xuehui broke out in a cold sweat. He was completely baffled as to why she was here.

Of course, that's not what he needs to think about right now; the most important thing is to explain what he's doing!

Ryougi Shiki continued to look at the two of them without saying a word.

After the initial shock, Saeko Busujima, who was standing to the side, saw the smile on Ryougi Mina's lips in a daze and finally understood that it was all this little girl's doing!

That's really clever.

She knew that her daughter's teacher, who knew her very well, must have seen this as well, so without needing to remind her, she said directly, "Miss, please stop playing. Xuehui-kun has just woken up and needs to recover."

Upon hearing Saeko Busujima's words, Ryougi Mina turned her head and saw the indifferent expression on her mother's face. Knowing that she couldn't continue the act, she instantly lost her shyness, stuck out her tongue at Saeko, and nimbly got off Yukiteru. She walked to Ryougi Shiki's side and took her hand, while her eyes were on Hiratsuka Shizuka standing to the side.

When Hiratsuka Shizuka saw all this, she was stunned. She wasn't stupid to begin with, so she immediately understood and her gaze towards Ryougi Mina became strange.

No wonder Ryougi Shiki said that; this little girl has been a shrewd one since she was a child! No, she should be called a little devil!

Seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression softened, Yukiteru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, someone who understands!

She stood up and walked over to the group, saying to Ryougi Shiki, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."

Although she still looks young, Xuehui knows that according to seniority, Ryougi Shiki is definitely his elder, and it is absolutely right to be respectful.

"It's nothing. Saeko has been taking care of things for you these past few days. I think Mina has already told you a bit about my identity. You just woke up, so you need to recover a bit. You can have dinner in a little while. I have something to tell you after dinner."

After saying that, he turned to Hiratsuka Shizuya and said, "You should stay too."

Yukiteru was prepared for Ryougi Shiki's attitude, so he didn't resist much. After exchanging glances with Hiratsuka Shizuka and giving her a reassuring look, he left with Busujima Saeko.

After walking down a long corridor, we arrived at a kitchen where several chefs were already busy preparing dinner. The aroma wafted out, stimulating Xuehui's empty stomach.

After taking a thermos and pouring a bowl of porridge for Xuehui, the two went outside. Xuehui, who had been fasting for several days, couldn't eat solid food right away.

While taking small sips to regain her strength, Xuehui asked, "Tokushima-senpai, I heard you call Mina 'Miss' earlier, what's that about?"

Saeko Busujima didn't hide anything and said frankly, "The Busujima family has been a vassal family serving the Ryougi family for generations. Yomi Isayama, whom you met at school, comes from the same family as me. We studied under the same teacher since we were young. Although we have a good relationship in private, when other people are around, we usually call Mina 'Miss'."

Nodding, Xuehui indicated that he understood. He didn't know if there was such a thing as a root in this world; at least he hadn't seen it during the awakening of his Mystic Eyes. However, it seemed that the background of the Ryougi family was completely different from what he knew.

After eating something and chatting briefly with Saeko Busujima before resting, Yukiteru, led by her, went to a public bathhouse for a bath. It's hardly polite to be served at the host's table right after waking up.
