A newbie's anime life diary

"Whatever makes you happy, I'm just afraid of trouble." With a shrug, Hachiman clearly expressed his desire to slack off as much as possible.

After they parted ways at the school gate, Yui looked at the three figures in the distance, and she gradually began to have some doubts about their relationship.

"Xiaoqi, what do you think is the relationship between Shiyu-senpai and Yukiteru-kun?"

"If you want to know, why don't you just go and ask him yourself?"

"I'm afraid something bad will happen if I ask, what should I do..." Yui looked at Hikigaya beside her, looking troubled.

"If you're afraid, then don't ask, just watch." In the end, that was all Hachiman could say. But in his heart, he felt that his worldview had been completely shattered.

After all, he wasn't like Yuihama; although many things were well concealed, he had already seen through them long ago.

----------

Night has fallen, and it's time to go to sleep again.

Just when Yukiteru thought things had finally calmed down, he saw Yukino go upstairs first, leaving behind the words, "I'm sleeping alone tonight."

As Yukino moved, Utaha, who had been standing close to Yukiteru, poked Yukiteru's cheek with her finger and then walked over as well.

"I'll be sleeping alone tonight too~"

"..."

Seeing Xuehui remain silent, Xiaojing, with a chocolate bar in her mouth, moved closer and asked, "What did you do to offend them? Why are you being sidelined like this?"

"Hmm... 'Putting someone in the cold palace' is a good phrase; it really sounds like it. As for what exactly happened, I can only say it was a momentary impulse..." With a hint of embarrassment, Xuehui really couldn't tell the truth.

But thankfully, at least Sister Xiaojing is still here, isn't she?

Thinking this, Xuehui leaned in and bit off the remaining half of the chocolate bar from her mouth, while also caressing her lips, causing Xiaojing to blush shyly.

This is so much fun!

He lay down naturally, resting his head on Xiaojing's lap, chewing on a sweet chocolate bar, and Xuehui said indistinctly, "When we go on the school trip to Kyoto, I might go out alone at night, so I wanted to let you know in advance."

"Alone? Won't it be dangerous?" There was no time to think about her previous questions. Instead, she looked at Xuehui's calm expression and Xiaojing's tone was a little worried. After all, she had only heard some basic things about Kyoto from Xuehui.

"Well, I can't say it's 100% safe, but at least if I'm alone, it'll be easier to escape if something happens, not to mention I'm just going to find out some things on the side."

After explaining, Xuehui turned around to face Xiaojing's abdomen, rubbed open the hem of her pajamas, and gently licked the exposed navel.

"Behave yourself..."

When her sensitive area was suddenly attacked, Xiaojing couldn't help but tighten her abdominal muscles. Xuehui was like that; when they were alone, he always liked to launch little surprise attacks. However, she actually liked Xuehui's behavior; at least it proved she still had some appeal.

Faced with two young and beautiful girls, Yukino and Utaha, even though she always considered herself a mature and older sister figure, she was still a little worried. So Shizuka spent more time exercising than ever before to maintain her figure, and now it seems that her efforts have paid off.

Feeling the other person's breathing gradually quicken, Xuehui smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go and rest."

Thankfully, Utaha and Yukino didn't take Shizuka away with them, otherwise Yukiteru would have been alone in his room again tonight. Putting everything else aside, just not being able to hold her would have been very difficult.

Xiaojing didn't refuse Xuehui's suggestion. Since the two of them had gone back to their rooms, Xuehui would be hers tonight.

In a sense, Xuehui is now living the life of a local tyrant. While he can't be described as utterly debauched, he certainly indulges in nightly revelry.

In this world, just as there are winners in life like Xuehui, there are also single people who only harbor fantasies.

The next day, the Service Department classroom welcomed such a person.

"Hmm~ The request you mentioned has arrived. It seems quite interesting." Hikigaya crossed his arms and, together with Yukiteru, looked at Tobe Sho sitting in the chair opposite them, along with Hayama Hayato who had come with him.

"It is indeed quite interesting, but it can only be considered a tragic love story. Successful confession? That's out of the question."

Xuehui nodded, pointing out the future of his client, Tobe Sho, without hesitation, which dealt a heavy blow to Tobe Sho, who had just revealed his purpose.

Hmm... I realized I haven't logged into Azur Lane for two days, and suddenly I've lost my enthusiasm _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 177 Lost his mind

Tobe Sho is a member of the popular group in the class, centered around Hayama Hayato and Miura Yumiko. His main role is... to cause trouble?

While Xuehui couldn't call him a bad student or a delinquent, he really didn't think he could succeed in confessing to a girl, even though he had told Xuehui about his shortcomings last time, he still didn't seem to have changed much.

Not to mention, the person he was going to confess to was not only in his class, but also Hina Ebina, who was quite famous among the second-year girls.

Yeah, in the second-year female fangirl circle.

That's terrifying. Confessing to a fujoshi (female fan of male-male romance). If it doesn't work out, that's fine, but if it does, she'll probably become her fantasy material to pair up with other men.

Although this situation has existed in the class for a long time, it still sends chills down one's spine.

At this moment, Yukino finally interrupted Yukiteru and Hachiman's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese idiom meaning to criticize or complain), saying, "Let's stop talking about how you failed for now. Tobe-kun, if you really want to confess, why don't you just go and do it yourself?"

"Haha, that's a good idea, but I'm afraid of getting rejected after confessing, so I came to you guys for help. Hey, isn't Hiratsuka-kun amazing in this area? Dating Yukinoshita-san and all that!" Tobe Sho said excitedly, as if he felt that finding them would guarantee everything.

Yukiteru was speechless, while Yukino bluntly said, "If you think coming to us for help will make your confession successful, then please leave."

Using other people's relationships as a reference to ask for help really annoyed her.

"Ugh!!! Yukino, let's help him!" Yui insisted. This was a love request, and it was from her own class. How could she miss it? So Yui didn't hesitate to cling to Yukino, leaving Yukino looking at Yukiteru with a helpless expression.

Being pestered by Yuihama, one of her few close friends, Yukino was quite embarrassed. Yukiteru understood and took over the conversation, looking at Tobe Sho: "Tobe, logically speaking, no matter what, you should be the one to confess. It's unlikely that you'll ask us to help you increase your success rate. After all, whether you accept or not is Ebina's business."

After saying that, he looked at Hayama Hayato and said, "You probably don't think as simply as he does, do you? Tell me, what exactly do you want us to do?"

"Ah, Hiratsuka-kun, you figured it out?" Hayama smiled awkwardly and said, "Anyway, since Hobe wants to confess during the school trip, all I can do as a friend is give him some advice. So I hope your Service Club can help me think of a better way to confess."

The way he confesses? It seems even Hayama Hayato doesn't think it will succeed. Tobe Sho must be out of his mind.

“Actually, I think it’s better not to confess.” Resting her chin on her hand, Xuehui looked at Tobe Sho’s uneasy expression and said, “You usually get along quite well with Ebina. If you confess and it fails, how will the relationship in your group be maintained? The atmosphere will probably become strange.”

Upon hearing this, Hayama understood, but he couldn't bring himself to stop Tobe Sho's actions. That's just the kind of person Hayama is; he only supports his friends' decisions. As for the subsequent consequences, Yukiteru thought the other party would probably figure it out himself.

"Even so, I'm still going to do it!" Although he hesitated for a moment, Tobe Sho ultimately insisted on confessing his feelings.

"So, Hiratsuka-kun, I'm begging you to come up with a plan for me!"

The group exchanged glances, and even Shiyu, who had been watching the show the whole time, showed a hint of interest. The only pity was that the school trip was for second-year students and had nothing to do with her, so she wouldn't be able to see the whole thing.

"Even so, that's all we can do." Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Yukino had no choice but to say, "A confession during the school trip? It seems we can only focus on the time and place."

"Oh! I'll help too!" Yuihama said, taking out a Kyoto tourist brochure and looking through it.

"Well, that's settled then. As for what to say when you confess, you'll have to figure that out yourself. We won't help you with that; you have to do something yourself, don't you?"

Hearing Xuehui's words, Hubu Xiangda breathed a sigh of relief. He was not the kind of person who would come up with solutions, so he was already very happy to have someone help share the burden and offer advice.

"Then I'll leave it to you guys! I'll definitely succeed this time!" With that, Tobe Sho immediately left the clubroom.

Looking at the open classroom door, Hayama Hayato shook his head with a wry smile and bowed to everyone: "Thank you all for your help with this request. I'll be leaving now."

After Hayama left, Yukino, who had been looking at the manual, immediately looked away and picked up the novel she had been reading.

"Huh? Yukino, why aren't you watching anymore?" Yui looked up, puzzled by Yukino's expression, and then noticed that Yukiteru and Hikigaya were in similar situations.

Without even looking up, Yukino replied, "It's just finding a place to confess, but we're going on a school trip, not a solo trip. There will be too many people during the day, and if we confess in the evening, the places we can go will be limited, at most around the hotel. We'll just find a quiet and nice place and let them talk alone. It's not that complicated."

After Yukino finished speaking, Yukiteru and Hachiman nodded in agreement. Yukiteru then explained, "This is just a confession, not a marriage proposal, and anyone with a brain knows that Tobe Sho won't succeed. External things don't matter at all."

"Oh! How can you say that! Wouldn't it be great if it succeeded? Why be so pessimistic?"

"It's not pessimism, it's just a very obvious fact. After all, the object of his affections is that Hina Ebina." Hikigaya sighed and said, to be honest, he didn't understand at all why Tobe Sho would be interested in Hina Ebina.

Does he have a thing for girls with glasses? Even if the other person is a fujoshi (a female fan of BL, a genre of Chinese fantasy)?

"Um, what do you mean by 'me'?"

Suddenly, Hina Ebina appeared in the doorway, waving and smiling at everyone: "Hello~"

After Hina Ebina entered and sat down in front of everyone, she explained her purpose: "Um... I wanted to discuss something with everyone about Tobe no Chika..."

Hmm... Although he looked shy, Mr. Hachiman still sensed something was wrong, and Yukiteru knew even more clearly that this guy was about to unleash a powerful move.

"Hey! The matter of the Minister of Revenue? What is it?!" Unfortunately, the naive Yuihama still excitedly leaned closer.

"Um... lately... lately it seems like Tobe is developing relationships on multiple fronts! He's gotten quite close to Hayama-kun, Hikigaya-kun, and even Hiratsuka-kun, leaving Ooka-kun and Yamato-kun unsatisfied! The relationship is getting worse and worse! Especially Hiratsuka-kun, isn't this a betrayal of Yukinoshita-kun?!"

Suddenly, Ebina Himeko's energy exploded, and she uttered a series of terrifying statements.

Yukino and Utaha both looked at Yukiteru without prior arrangement.

In response, Xuehui, expressionless, pulled out a sign from somewhere, which read:

"I'm not taking the blame for this! P.S.: Spreading BL (Boys' Love) energy is prohibited in the Service Club!"

Um... I renewed my PSN Hong Kong membership for a year, and they gave me The Division as a free game. But damn, there's lag! The bullets fire a second or two after being fired, and I can guess the damage. It's unplayable. Other online games don't have this problem. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 178 Today's Topic

Although Xuehui didn't think there was anything wrong with these fujoshi's hobbies, after all, don't boys also like to read yuri?

However, if this happened to me, and I was unknowingly paired with a guy, I would definitely not feel good.

You bastard, you're obsessed with women!

"Hey, are you Elizabeth? Where did you pull this board out from?" Hachiman Hikigaya was the first to make a sarcastic remark, seemingly heading towards becoming a comedian.

"Don't compare me to those giant dolls." As he spoke, Xuehui casually put the cue board back down and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Before anyone could start complaining again, Yukiteru immediately looked at Ebina Hina and said, "Stop with the jokes and just tell us what you're here for. We're very busy."

After a moment of silence, Ebina Hina was clearly surprised by Yukiteru's directness and gave a wry smile. "If Hiratsuka-kun keeps acting like this, girls will hate him."

"Well, I didn't expect a lot of girls to like me."

After glancing thoughtfully at Yukino and then at Utaha, Ebina Hina finally got down to business: "Well, the atmosphere in the group has been a bit strange lately, especially among the guys, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Ha, can't you just be more direct? We're not going to tell anyone.
