A newbie's anime life diary

He subtly observed his younger sister as he spoke.

Could it really be this kind of thing? Long, straight black hair? Uniform? Black stockings and small breasts? Surprisingly ordinary sexual orientation.

"Prying into someone's privacy without their permission is highly unacceptable!"

“But he gave permission before.” Yukino couldn’t refute Yukino’s words. She stood up, smoothed her clothes, and looked around.

Xuehui's room was pretty much as she had expected. Apart from some reference books and common light novels and comics, there was nothing else on the bookshelf that revealed her interests or hobbies.

Yukino wouldn't open the computer; Yukiteru's calm demeanor earlier indicated it was locked. Ignoring Yukino's objections, he opened the wardrobe, which was full of everyday clothes. Aside from the sizes, it was clear he had a good figure, but nothing else.

Seeing Haruno's behavior made Yukino, who was already a little shy about entering the boys' bedroom, even more embarrassed. She frowned and pulled Haruno away, saying, "Sister, let's go out. If you keep doing this, I'll take you back!"

"Sigh... Why is she like this? Okay, I know." There was nothing she could do; her younger sister was really angry. Yang Nai thought to herself that she couldn't find anything interesting, so she prepared to leave.

Looking down, I suddenly noticed several notebooks next to the graphics tablet on the desk.

"It seems that Yukiteru-kun has drawn illustrations for his own light novels. I've seen them and they're pretty good. These must be hand-drawn." Thinking of taking one last look before leaving, Haruno picked up a notebook, opened it, and her eyes widened immediately.

Chapter 63: Contents of the Sketchbook

What Yukino Yukinoshita was holding was Yukiteru's sketchbook, which he usually used to record images. He usually carried this with him, but he had left it in his bedroom during summer vacation when he went to Ryougi's house. Yukino just happened to open it now.

The contents of the album were all completed before the summer vacation, and they are mostly portraits, with a few landscape paintings as well.

Yukino slowly flipped through the pages. It has to be said that Yukiteru's drawing skills are quite good. I originally thought he could only draw illustrations, but now it seems that his sketching skills are also quite good.

Of course, the portrait she looked at most was of her younger sister, Yukino.

'He even draws them while he's asleep; looks like he must have done it secretly. Pretty skillful.'

At that moment, Yukino, who had been the first to leave the room, turned around and found that her older sister was still standing in front of the desk without moving, seemingly still flipping through something.

"Sister, I told you not to move around anymore!"

As he spoke, he tried to walk over and stop Yang Nai.

Coming to her senses, Yukino immediately closed her sketchbook, calmly placed it back on the table, and smiled at Yukino: "It's nothing, let's go out."

What exactly are you looking at?

Yukino frowned and took a step forward. Haruno's expression puzzled her, and she was also worried. Could something strange have really been discovered? She knew all too well the hidden side of Yukiteru.

As her younger sister approached, Yang Nai pondered whether or not to let her see her.

Well, even if I can cover it up for a while, that kid has already gone all out. Hopefully, things will turn out well.

Thinking of this, Yang Nai looked at her younger sister and smiled mysteriously: "Are you sure you want to see? I have indeed discovered something interesting."

As he spoke, he took out the sketchbook that was behind him.

"Sketching books?" Yukino looked at the ordinary sketchbooks and felt a little relieved, as long as it wasn't anything else.

The next second, Yang handed over the notebook.

"What, aren't you going to watch? You'll regret it."

Yang Nai's smile deepened. Suddenly, she felt that doing this was quite fun. She looked at her younger sister's expression, which showed a hint of curiosity and an unwillingness to break her own principles.

Yukino still didn't extend her hand, and Haruno didn't insist. She put the notebook back on the desk, then walked past Yukino towards the door: "Whether you look or not is up to you. I'm going to look at other places. Hmm... what's the bathroom like?"

Yukino stood in front of the desk, listening to the footsteps of Haruno stepping out of the room behind her.

Why must you see it yourself?

Although this older sister is annoying most of the time, her current behavior is really too suspicious.

After struggling for a while, Yukino finally reached out and opened the sketchbook.

The first page that catches the eye is a landscape painting, which Yukino recognized at a glance. It is a view from Soubu High School from above, and judging from the picture, the location should be the rooftop.

"Isn't the rooftop usually locked?"

After muttering to himself for a while, he turned to the second page, which no longer featured scenery but rather a person: Hiratsuka Shizumasa dressed in casual clothes, lounging on the sofa playing video games.

The living room doesn't look like this place; it should be Hiratsuka Shizuka's house.

Yukino remembered that he had mentioned before that he had stayed at Hiratsuka-sensei's house for a while.

After that, several more paintings were landscapes and Hiratsuka Shizuka, all very casual sketches, nothing special.

"Isn't it just a sketch?"

As she flipped through the pages and saw the images, Yukino was speechless, her face turning bright red.

He quickly turned around, walked to the door with a "thump-thump-thump," and after checking that no one was around, closed the door like a thief.

The moment the door closed, the girl realized what she had been doing!

But she had to figure it out, so she went back to her desk, picked up the sketchbook, and drew the very same sketch she had seen of Yui Yuigahama making cookies.

"Strange, Hiratsuka-kun didn't take out his sketchbook or his phone to take pictures at the time." Yukino tried hard to recall what happened that day but still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Flipping through the pages, there were a few more everyday drawings, but none of them featured Yukino herself. This helped the girl calm down a little.

But the next moment, she saw it again.

"This...this..." Her fair cheeks were now flushed, her breathing was rapid, and her heart was pounding faster.

This... isn't this what I look like when I'm asleep?

Suddenly, I recalled that I was reading a light novel manuscript that a classmate named Hui had sent me at night. It was so difficult to understand that I ended up staying up all night to finish it. When I arrived at school the next day, I couldn't help but doze off in the chair in the club room.

When she woke up, she found Xuehui sitting opposite her. She was both embarrassed and angry. Fortunately, he wasn't the type to talk nonsense, and the matter eventually faded away.

So it was already drawn before that? And so clearly!

Later on, there are scenes of him giving tennis training to Totsuka Saika, and a series of other daily sketches, followed by more and more scenes of himself.

Finally, the girl closed her sketchbook, covered her face, and slumped onto the table.

What conclusion should I draw now?

The purpose was to confront the other party, demanding to know why they drew their own portrait and what their motives were.

Find a time to call the other person out and ask them if it's...

So embarrassing!

While Yukino Yukinoshita is uncompromising when faced with certain situations, this particular situation is far too difficult for her.

In an instant, countless ideas that I had never had before burst into my mind.

Well, even Yukino Yukinoshita can't help but have wild thoughts, after all, she's only a 17-year-old girl, isn't she?

"Calm down, calm down. Just pretend you didn't find anything. It's already bad enough that you looked at these things privately, you can't add to the embarrassment by saying it out loud. Observe carefully first before you speak."

Having made her decision, Yukino Yukinoshita stood up, put her things away, took a few deep breaths to make sure she maintained her usual expression, and then opened the door and came out.

She only stayed for five minutes, so no one noticed that as she walked towards the living room, Yang Nai also came out of the bathroom at the same time.

Looking at her younger sister's expression, Yang Nai couldn't quite figure it out for a moment, since she was acting too calmly.

Noticing her sister's gaze, Yukino slowly walked to her side and whispered, "Don't assume everyone is as fond of prying into your privacy as you are."

Ah, I'm lying through my teeth, but the circumstances are special, so let's just do it this once.

The girl thought to herself.

Yang Nai stared at her sister's back for a few moments but still couldn't see anything unusual. However, it didn't matter; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Yukiteru, who was in the kitchen, noticed that the two sisters had returned. He could tell from Yono's expression that nothing had gone wrong, so he was relieved. He slightly pursed his lips, scooped some of the stir-fried vegetables from the pot onto a small plate, and then suddenly, a white hand reached out from a crack and took the plate and a pair of chopsticks away.

Only Xuehui saw all of this, and at the same time, he felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Chapter 64 The Fourth Guest

Xuehui was at a loss for words.

I was quietly cooking, and the ingredients had barely been put into the pan when someone tapped me on the back a few times.

Turning around, there was no one there and no footsteps to be heard, only a faint trace of demonic energy.

Nurarihyon?

No, and besides, the other person's family is in Tokyo, and they're just a junior high school student, so it's even less likely that they would come to Chiba at this time.

Therefore, only one conclusion remains.

A certain idle monster who does nothing but wander around all day and likes to peep.

What? You're saying I mispronounced the title?

No, no, no, I've always been a free spirit.

I scooped out a small portion of the stir-fried mixed vegetables and put it on a plate. Sure enough, it was snatched away in the next second without any attempt to hide it.

What could Xuehui do in this situation? He couldn't make a sound, and he couldn't fight back. He could just treat the other party as another customer. Fortunately, the other party's requirements were not high; a small dish would suffice.

And so, when the Yukinoshita sisters came out, Yukiteru had already prepared the third dish, and the meat dish was cooking, but there were already two small plates waiting to be washed in the sink.

More than half an hour later, Xuehui finally finished cooking six dishes and a soup. The four of them sat around the dining table in the living room and began to eat dinner.

As for our fourth guest tonight, Sister Zi... she's already finished eating, I wonder if she's still here.

While eating, she listened to Yukinoshita and Shizuka chatting, occasionally chiming in with a few words, but mostly observing.

Unfortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita's mood was unusually strange. She was unusually cheerful and kept praising the dishes she had made.

I initially thought she was setting a trap, but after Xuehui finished eating, I didn't notice that she had done anything strange.

After dinner, and after clearing the table, Yukiteru returned to the living room and looked at Yukinoshita Haruno, who was holding a teacup, and said, "It seems that the food suits your taste, Haruno-san."

"Thank you again for the treat, Yukiteru-kun~" Haruno's smile was as bright as ever, making Yukiteru feel increasingly uneasy.

After carefully recalling my house, I realized there was nothing that could expose me.

Finally, unable to figure it out, Xuehui gave up.

Little did anyone know that Yukino Yukinoshita, sitting next to her older sister, was actually pounding with anxiety beneath her calm exterior. Fortunately, she usually wore a detached expression, so no one could tell that anything was amiss.

About half an hour later, the Yukinoshita sisters and Hiratsuka Shizuka were preparing to leave. Yukiteru had originally thought that Hiratsuka Shizuka would stay a little longer, but it seemed that he had been overthinking it.

After seeing the three off, Xuehui returned inside and first washed the soaking tableware, putting it in the sterilizer. Taking a bottle of juice from the refrigerator, she wondered why that person had come over, even though they had only met a few times.
