A newbie's anime life diary

As Xuehui was thinking, he walked towards the bedroom to get his clothes to take a shower, and then he heard a noise coming from his bedroom.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

Pressing his temples, Xuehui opened the door and saw a girl with long golden hair, wearing a purple robe-like dress, reclining on a strangely open gap...?

Okay, judging from her appearance, she's definitely a young girl.

"Hey, I'm telling you, it's fine if you're just going to freeload, but can you please stop barging into my room? Even guys need some privacy." Xuehui looked at Yakumo Yukari helplessly, walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down. Then he noticed that she was flipping through a notebook.

"What...are you looking at?"

An ominous premonition settled over me.

"Oh, this... I figured you were entertaining guests, and it wouldn't be convenient for me to show myself, so I just came to see if there was anything interesting. I'll leave this on your desk." Yukari Yakumo flipped open her sketchbook and waved it at Yukiteru. "Not bad at all!"

"Thank you for your feedback." That's what Xuehui said, but inside he was feeling like a thousand horses were galloping.

He completely forgot about that! This notebook contains many of his meticulously drawn illustrations!

Could it be that Yukinoshita Haruno's expression earlier was because she saw what was on this?

But that's not the main point; the key is whether Yukino saw it or not!

After carefully recalling the other person's indifferent expression, Xuehui felt that he probably hadn't seen it.

...Probably.

One terrible thing after another happened. The matter of standing Kasumigaoka Utaha up was not yet resolved, and now Yukinoshita Haruno had seen the contents of her sketchbook, and it was still uncertain whether Yukinoshita Yukinoshita had seen it.

Now there's another troublesome one here: Yakumo Yukari!

Ugh, my head hurts...

"Alright, kid, don't look like you're about to die. I just saw a little bit of your stuff, didn't I?" Yukari Yakumo smiled at Yukiteru, gently closing the sketchbook in her hand, and then neatly returning it to the desk the next second. "Ah, are you worried that the long-haired girl might have found out about this?"

Having read through the above content, Yukari Yakumo could naturally guess what Yukiteru felt for Yukino Yukinoshita, and also what the other party was currently troubled by.

Did you see it?

"No~ I was waiting for your meal, Yukiteru-kun, back then." Yukari Yakumo jumped out from the gap, sat on Yukiteru's bed, and said, resting her chin on her hand.

With a slight pout, Xuehui stopped dwelling on it. Whether she saw it or not didn't matter. He looked at Yakumo Yukari and asked, "Can you tell me why you came over here? I don't think we're that close."

"Oh dear, as your teacher's good friend, can't you treat me to something?"

After looking Yakumo Yukari up and down, Yukiteru said, "Well, let's just say that. We've entertained you, aren't you going back? Or do you want to wander around here a bit more?"

"Of course I have something to tell you. I've already been to your teacher's place." Yakumo Yukari stood up and slowly paced around the room. "Just a reminder, there will be a lot of things to do in Kyoto and Tokyo in the future, especially in Kyoto. Try to avoid going there unless necessary."

"Hagoromo Gitsune?"

"It seems you were prepared." Yukari Yakumo nodded. "Hagoromo Gitsune was the beginning of all this, but she is very good at protecting herself. Even I only know that she is in Kyoto, her demonic aura is completely concealed, and she has been brewing something. Hang in there, this is the destiny of nearly a thousand years, the destiny between demons and humans."

After saying this, Yukari Yakumo opened the gap and stepped inside, leaving a note behind before disappearing.

"The Hyakumonogatari Group? An organization with not much information."

Xuehui put away the note, grabbed a coat, put it on, and went out of the house again.

Chapter 65 Yukino Yukinoshita is out of sorts

That night, Xuehui went to the association's branch in Chiba again and spent most of the night searching through the database for information on the branches and details of yokai forces in the Kanto region.

The investigation revealed an unusually small amount of information about the Hyakumonogatari Group. Their last action was five years ago, and they had been in a state of rest and recuperation the rest of the time.

However, Yukari Yakumo wouldn't make baseless accusations. The Hyakumonogatari Group is definitely plotting something, and it's even possible that the information they currently possess isn't genuine.

Unfortunately, without any evidence, many methods cannot be used, and it seems that we can only postpone it for now.

After informing the staff in charge to carefully investigate the authenticity of the information over the next few days, Xuehui went home under cover of night and went straight to sleep.

After my overall strength improved, one of the benefits I saw in my daily life was the recovery of my physical and mental energy. Although I only slept for less than 5 hours, I was still full of energy.

After having breakfast early, Yukihiro sat in the living room until he saw Yukinoshita leaving the house across the street from the balcony before picking up his schoolbag and heading out.

Xuehui understood the simple principle of being close to someone and having the advantage, and since they had been through things together before, it didn't seem deliberate.

"Good morning, Yukinoshita." After coming downstairs, Yukinoshita saw the other person coming out of the apartment building and greeted him naturally.

"Good morning, Hiratsuka-kun." Yukinoshita raised her eyes slightly upon seeing Yukiteru and greeted him.

The two then naturally went to school together.

Walking along the road, Yuki noticed that Yukinoshita looked tired and had dark circles under her eyes.

"What's wrong? Did you not sleep well last night? You don't seem to have any energy."

She smoothed her hair behind her ear and said calmly, "I stayed up a little late reading last night, so I didn't get enough sleep. I'll rest a bit at noon."

However, all of this is nonsense. Yukinoshita had insomnia last night and only managed to close her eyes around 2 a.m.

"That's good. We still have the cultural festival to attend to this afternoon. You, as the chairman, must get some rest. If you suddenly collapse, won't everything fall on my shoulders?"

Her words, spoken with a hint of a joke, were similar to Yukiteru's usual style of speaking. However, after what happened last night, Yukinoshita felt that something was off about their otherwise ordinary conversation.

After thinking about it, I decided it was best not to say too much. I just nodded and walked on in silence.

Given Yukino's personality, she would always ask directly if she was confused. In the past, she would also bluntly point out that several boys who confessed to her had backed down.

Perhaps because it was the first time she had ever cared about a boy, she was quite hesitant and had many thoughts on her mind. So, the girl decided to wait for Yukiteru's reaction.

As a fledgling in matters of the heart, Yukinoshita doesn't quite know how to take the initiative.

'Perhaps I should go find some books to read.'

This was the first thought in the young woman's mind.

Yukiteru didn't pay much attention to Yukinoshita's reaction; people don't really want to talk when they're not in a good mood.

Sitting on the slightly crowded tram in the morning, the two chatted idly until they finally arrived at school. Xuehui was finally able to enjoy school life again after a long time. The previous month had been nothing but training, and it would be a lie to say that it wasn't boring.

Although I understood most of the content in class, it was really fun to slack off!

Upon arriving at the classroom, since everyone knew that Yukiteru had returned to school the day before, they weren't too surprised. However, the fact that Sagami Minami had resigned as executive committee chairman, and that Yukino Yukinoshita had taken over as chairman with Yukiteru serving as vice chairman drew some attention to him.

However, since Minami Sagami did not express any negative emotions about this, and the news that everything was peaceful and transitioning smoothly, it only caused a small ripple.

In short, everything was calm and peaceful when Xuehui returned to the classroom.

"I didn't have a chance to tell you yesterday, where did you go all summer?" After sitting down, Hachiman sat up and looked at Yukiteru and asked. He had been gone for a month, and even Hachiman was quite curious.

"Didn't I say? I went to Yamagata Prefecture, though I don't know the exact location. I went deep into the mountains to experience life there." Yukiteru briefly mentioned what happened in August, then looked at Hikigaya and asked, "What about you? You must have gone to the summer festival in Chiba, right? With Yuihama?"

"Ah, I went, and the number of people surged halfway through." Hachiman looked pained as he recalled his previous temple fair experience.

Yukiteru immediately understood. There was no way around it; most of the students in this class were locals from Chiba, and while the summer festival was crowded, the chances of bumping into classmates were still quite high. Plus, Miura Yumiko had always disliked Hikigaya, so the rest was pretty predictable.

At noon, Yukiteru had planned to visit Yukinoshita in the Service Club classroom, but a phone call from Isayama Yomi summoned him to the rooftop to inquire about his visit to the association the previous night. Yukiteru took this opportunity to discuss the Hyakumonogatari Group with Isayama Yomi. Unfortunately, information on this topic was scarce. Yukiteru also learned that Ryougi Shiki had tried to gather information about the Hyakumonogatari Group a few years ago, but the group was completely uninterested in the outside world, and its members didn't leak out, so no substantial information could be obtained, and the effort was ultimately abandoned.

After saying all that, the two ate while listening to Isayama Yomi add some points about what the association needed to pay attention to in its operations.

Finally, it must be said that Yukiteru was incredibly lucky. He had barely stepped out of the classroom for two minutes when Kasumigaoka Utaha arrived. Everyone in the class was surprised that this renowned upperclassman knew Yukiteru. Unfortunately, no one knew where Yukiteru had gone, not even Hachiman, who was standing nearby. He only told Kasumigaoka Utaha that Yukiteru had left after receiving a phone call, probably because he had something to do.

Therefore, Kasumigaoka Utaha could only leave with a look of dissatisfaction, and she couldn't just call and bother him directly, thinking she would come back another time.

After lunch break, Yukiteru returned to the classroom and was told by Hikigaya that Kasumigaoka Utaha had been there.

What could Yukiteru do in this situation? He simply sent a message to Kasumigaoka Utaha, saying that he was busy with the cultural festival these days and would apologize when he had some free time on the weekend.

A few minutes later, I received a reply with just a simple "I understand".

It seems my actions have indeed displeased the other party; it's just too much of a coincidence.

In the afternoon, after school, I didn't go to the club anymore, but went straight to the executive committee's meeting room to continue my work.

However, for some reason, Yukinoshita's condition was not good today. She almost made mistakes when giving instructions in several places, but fortunately, Yukiteru reminded her in time.

After finally finishing the day's work, as Yukiteru sat on the tram after leaving school, he was surprised to find that Yukinoshita next to him was leaning back in her seat, her eyelids drooping uncontrollably.

Yukino Yukinoshita looking like this is truly a rare sight!

But it's only one stop away, Miss. If you want to sleep, there's no rush.

Chapter 66 Yukino's Unexpected Relaxation

Fortunately, Yukinoshita woke up immediately after the train announced the stop. Although she still seemed a little sleepy, at least she didn't need Yukiteru to remind her.

After leaving the station, the two walked along the road. Yukiteru looked at Yukinoshita beside him; her face was pale, and the more he looked at her, the more he saw signs of anemia.

"Hey, did you not eat properly at lunch? You don't look well."

"I didn't have time to prepare a bento, so I bought a bread roll at the convenience store." Yukinoshita understood her current situation. She had slept in late in the morning due to insomnia and had only eaten two biscuits in order to save time. She also didn't have a bento for lunch, which made her, who was already a bit weak, feel unwell.

Although Yukinoshita said that, Yukiteru could tell that she had something else to say, so he could only shake his head helplessly: "Judging from your appearance, you're bound to cause trouble if you cook dinner yourself. Come to my house, there's still a lot of groceries left from last night."

As expected, Yukinoshita shook her head firmly: "No, I already troubled you yesterday. I'll just go back, make something to eat, and rest."

"Yukino Yukinoshita." Yukiteru stepped forward, standing in front of Yukino, and looked at the girl, saying, "I understand you don't want to trouble me, but please understand one thing: if something happens to your health, I'll have to do many things myself. You could have done much better than your sister did; are you really willing to give up because of your health?"

"How...how did you know?"

Yukinoshita stopped in her tracks, looking at Yukiteru in surprise.

"What's so difficult about that? With your competitive personality and an older sister who's always been praised, it's impossible for you not to want to achieve something. Putting aside your sister's issues, from an official standpoint, as the vice chairman, I have an obligation to monitor your health. Is that a sufficient reason?"

"I've never heard of a vice chairman being in charge of this." Yukinoshita couldn't help but smile. She looked at Yukiteru and suddenly blurted out, "Then, what about privately?"

After asking the question, she realized how ambiguous her words were, and lowered her slightly flushed cheeks, feeling rather like she was burying her head in the sand.

Faced with Yukinoshita's question, Yukiteru was slightly surprised and had a guess in his heart. He started walking again and said, "Personally, as a friend, I don't want you to get sick."

Friends? I've said that before.

In the end, Yukinoshita had no choice but to accept Yukiteru's suggestion and went to his house.

Without keeping Yukinoshita waiting any longer, Yukiteru quickly cooked a few dishes with ingredients from home, keeping the flavors light as he considered that she might not have eaten properly all day.

After dinner, Yukinoshita, who had originally intended to help clear the table, was forced to sit down on the sofa by Yukiteru. She watched as he gradually cleared the table and then began washing the dishes.

Perhaps because they were originally in the same club and had completed many requests together, and because of what happened in Chiba Village during the summer vacation, Yukinoshita understood Yukiteru even more. The throbbing in her heart made her feel very relaxed at Yukiteru's house, unlike when she was alone in her apartment, which was excessively quiet, or when she was in that house, which was oppressive.

The reason I insisted on moving out and living alone back then seems to be that, besides wanting freedom, I've started to want more and more things...

Seeing Yukiteru emerge from the kitchen after tidying up, Yukinoshita thought for a moment and then said, "Hiratsuka-kun, since I'm feeling pretty good right now, I'd like to finish my homework here, is that alright?"
