"...Eri, I didn't expect you to be able to analyze things so logically!"

Yukiteru's exclamation immediately drew an eye roll from Eriri: "What do you mean 'didn't expect it'? I can grow too, okay? Besides, these things are all related to the otaku community. I'm an insider myself, so it's normal for me to know more about them!"

"Growth?" The conversation between the two made Shiyu, who was typing on her laptop at the table, look up. After meeting Eriri's gaze, she glanced up and down, pursed her lips slightly, and then lowered her head to type again.

"...Hey! What's with your reaction? Even my figure has grown, okay? I've grown another centimeter recently!"

"What's the use of growing taller? Aren't you just fooling yourself?"

Utaha's casual remark instantly enraged Eriri, who threw down the controller and rushed over.

"Still talking, still talking! What's so great about those two lumps of fat? Waaah...aren't you afraid they'll sag later!" After clinging to Shiyu, the feeling of not being able to grasp her immediately made Eriri feel frustrated, and in her disappointment, she immediately found an excuse to tease her.

Utaha didn't seem to care about Eriri's attack at all. She even straightened her body and said to Eriri, who was pressed against her, "Too bad, you don't even have the right to sag. Besides, it's not a big deal. Do you think we lack methods for maintaining our figures?"

After all that, the Eriri was sunk yet again.

Yukiteru was already used to this. While finding a breast enhancement method wasn't difficult, Yukiteru hadn't actually done it. Not only Yukiteru, but Eriri and Yukino hadn't mentioned it either. Envy was one thing, but they hadn't reached the point where they absolutely had to do it, and Yukiteru liked it just the same, didn't she?

Just as Eriri was trying to rise up again and rebel against this "rich-poor" gap, the door opened, and Yukino and Haruno returned after shopping.

As for the conflict between Eriri and Utaha, the two of them didn't need to guess much; it was just a few things, and they wouldn't get involved.

After putting down the two shopping bags she was carrying, Yukino looked at Yukiteru on the sofa and asked, "Where's Shizuka-nee? Is she still sleeping?"

Xuehui glanced at his watch and replied, "She won't wake up for about half an hour. Then we'll take her for a checkup. Do you want to come along?"

All four shook their heads. Anyway, it was just a routine check-up for Sister Xiaojing, and she was perfectly healthy. There was no need for them all to go with her. Xuehui was there, and they were better off staying home and preparing dinner.

Xiao Jing is almost 7 months old now. Apart from their daily studies and work, everyone's attention is basically focused on her. Yukino and the others are also learning while taking care of her.

Each time Xuehui accompanied Xiaojing to her check-up, watching the little one grow more and more in the images, her anticipation grew stronger with each passing day. That day was truly getting closer and closer.

Half an hour later, Xuehui went upstairs to Xiaojing's room, where she woke up right on time and was sitting up from under the covers.

"How did you sleep?"

Seeing Xuehui come in, Sister Xiaojing, whose face was a little round from the attentive care, also showed a happy smile: "Of course I slept well, but I feel like I'm getting lazier and lazier, and my face is rounder. I can only do some simple exercises now. It seems that it will take a lot of time to get my figure back to what it used to be."

"There are still several months to go, so let's not think about it for now." As she spoke, Xuehui picked up the coat that was on the chair and helped Xiaojing put it on.

"After a quick wash, we'll go to the hospital for a checkup. Although they say there's absolutely nothing wrong, we want to put the elders at ease."

Hearing Xuehui say this, Sister Xiaojing pointed to the phone on the table and said to Xuehui, "Before I went to bed, my mom sent a message saying that she would come with us later to accompany me to the check-up and to see how well you are taking care of me."

"emmmm~"

How are you feeling?

"I'm in a pretty good mood, but your mother is still very unhappy about the fact that we have a child before we even have a wedding. Every time we meet, she stares at me and asks about it. It's a bit exhausting," Xuehui replied helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

However, it's definitely time to start preparing for the wedding now.

Chapter 374 Visit

The anticipated game show debuted successfully and concluded smoothly. Advertising has been rolled out in full swing, and the improved equipment models are complete, entering the production phase with capacity estimates being finalized. Information regarding artificial intelligence has also been released, completely igniting the tech industry this year.

The work and preparations that needed to be done this year have been basically completed. What Xuehui needs to do next is wait for all the preparations in the second half of the year to come to fruition.

He was naturally very confident about the outcome; his only concern was how high the sales volume would be.

"However, it shouldn't be too bad, after all, the price of the equipment is less than 10,000 yen more expensive than the next generation of game consoles."

Sitting in his office, Xuehui stretched and looked relaxed as he looked at a series of work reports on his computer screen.

The company has grown up now, and the situation where Yang Nai and I were running around all day, busy from morning till night, is no longer like it was in the beginning.

Moreover, right now, at home, Xiaojing is more important than work.

Previous routine checkups showed that the baby's development was very smooth, and the doctor predicted that the due date might be earlier than October, but rather in mid-September.

If we calculate it this way, there are actually only two months left.

At home, there are people taking care of her on a daily basis. Xuehui has to balance her work at the company and the student council at school, so she has relatively less time. On weekdays, most of the work of taking care of Xiaojing is handed over to Yangnai and Shiyu. The two of them basically take turns in the morning and afternoon, with a clear division of labor.

At noon, if time permits, Xuehui and the others will also go home.

Today was the same. Shiyu didn't have classes in the afternoon, so the afternoon tasks were assigned to her. She could also write a book at home while doing both, so she could do both at the same time.

After working for a while longer, Xuehui checked the time and realized it was already past 4:30. It was time to pack up and head back.

After shutting down the computer and grabbing my coat, I stepped out of the office and saw Yang Nai's assistant walking towards me.

"President, a lady named Saeko Busujima is looking for you."

"Huh? Saeko-nee?" Yukiteru was taken aback, not expecting Saeko Busujima to come looking for her. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since she had seen her. Since their conversation at Christmas and the Kyoto incident, although Saeko Busujima had said she wouldn't give up, she had indeed appeared less often. According to Yomi Isayama, besides busying herself with the tasks assigned by her teacher, she was only focused on training, training, and more training, just as dedicated as when she first started training as a child.

Where is he/she?

"It's right at the front desk in the lobby."

"I understand, you can go do your own thing, I'll go find her." After telling his assistant, Xuehui went directly to the front desk outside the company and saw Saeko Busujima waiting there.

Although it had been several months since I last saw her, Saeko Busujima was still the same as before, wearing a kimono, with long, dark purple hair reaching her waist, and carrying a small bag in her hand. She looked every bit the beautiful Japanese woman.

Because of Saeko Busujima's arrival, several well-informed male employees from the company came to observe her, and they were all amazed by her appearance.

Standing behind these guys, Xuehui put his hand in front and coughed loudly.

"uh-huh!"

"!!!" Everyone was shocked and turned around to see Xuehui standing in front of them.

"President!"

Seeing everyone stand up straight instantly, Xuehui nodded slightly and said, "Looking at beautiful women is understandable, but it's still working hours, let's go back to work."

The atmosphere at the company is much more relaxed compared to traditional Japanese companies. As long as you can complete your tasks diligently, Xuehui doesn't mind chatting casually. After all, they are a technology company and a game development company, and most of their employees are under 35 years old, so being too serious is not a good thing.

After hearing what the company boss had said, the male employees took one last look at Saeko Busujima and then turned back to their work stations.

Yukiteru then strolled up to Saeko Busujima, looked at her, and said, "It's been a long time, Saeko-nee."

"It really has been a long time." Saeko Busujima smiled and nodded, looking at Yukiteru's business attire with a hint of admiration in her eyes. "You look really good in this outfit."

"Thank you for the compliment. What brings you here today?"

"I've come out of seclusion. Can't I come and see my junior brother?" Saeko Busujima said with a smile, looking directly into Yukiteru's eyes as she touched her hair.

"I have no objection, but it's not appropriate to talk here. Let's find a coffee shop."

After obtaining Saeko Busujima's consent, he took her out of the company and onto the elevator.

There were other companies in the office building, so when Saeko Busujima appeared, her kimono-clad beauty attracted the attention of all the men. Yukiteru, standing nearby, was recognized by most of them, and they all glared at him with murderous intent.

"Looks like you're being envied by these men." Saeko Busujima whispered as she walked beside Yukiteru, sensing the gazes around her.

"I'm used to it. I usually go to and from the company with Yukino, and Yukino occasionally comes to learn things. I'm used to the way people look at me."

As someone who was about to become a father, Yukiteru felt unusually calm about being with Saeko Busujima, his beautiful senior sister, even knowing what she thought of him.

Although I feel bad for them, I really need to get back to my old ways, otherwise I'll really be letting them down.

After leaving the building, they drove to a nearby coffee shop and sat facing each other, but the atmosphere was inexplicably dull.

Once the coffee arrived, Xuehui finally spoke up, "Saeko-nee, is something the matter? You didn't call me beforehand."

After taking a sip of her coffee, Saeko Busujima looked up at Yukiteru and asked, "You're going to be a father soon, aren't you?"

"...Yes, there are still two months left." Xuehui's face lit up with a happy smile as she spoke. "And it's a daughter, she'll definitely be a little princess."

Saeko Busujima narrowed her eyes, looked at Yukiteru, and after a few seconds of silence, said, "So, does that mean I have absolutely no chance?"

"...As I said before, although I'm very sorry, I really don't have the extra energy. A harem is nice, but a person's energy is limited. With these few, I'm already satisfied." Looking calmly into Saeko Busujima's eyes, Yukiteru said slowly.

"I see." With a slight sigh, Saeko Busujima gave a brief, bitter smile before turning playful. "I was hoping the child would be a boy, so that even if I lost my chance with you, I could still consider your son. But now it seems that the other possibility doesn't exist either."

"Uh... Ahahaha..."

With an awkward smile, Yuki could tell that Saeko Busujima was forcing a smile, but he simply couldn't think of anything to say in response.

Now, all we can do is wait and see.

This update came out of the blue. I had wanted to update before, but I was quite busy with my new job. I spent a few days writing two chapters, but I deleted them both. Today I finally had some free time to write a chapter.

Well, tomorrow is the first day of 2018, and also the last chapter of this book. Let's end with a long chapter.

Chapter 375 The Future Is Still Long (The End)

Before she could finish her coffee, Saeko Busujima left, citing other business, leaving Yukiteru alone in the café, staring blankly at his coffee.

Half an hour later, after 5 p.m., Yukino called him, which snapped Yukiteru out of his aimless thoughts. He got up, paid the bill, and drove away.

Back home, the Yukino and Haruno sisters were cooking in the kitchen, with Eriri helping out and learning along the way. In the living room, Utaha was watching TV with her older sister, Shizuka.

Xuehui took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door before going inside.

"I am back."

"Welcome back, it's a bit late today." Shiyu got up and took a few steps forward, took Xuehui's arm, and pulled him to sit down between herself and Sister Xiaojing.

"Hmm... You already know, why are you still saying this?" Looking at Shiyu's gaze, Xuehui shook his head helplessly. He clearly knew everything, yet he had to be the one to confess...

"Hmph, Busujima-senpai is a great beauty, and a Japanese-style beauty at that. None of us here have that style. Ah, there is one, Eriri. Aunt Sayuri has always loved wearing kimonos, but unfortunately Eriri didn't quite get the hang of it."

"Achoo!" Eriri, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, suddenly sneezed.

"You caught a cold?" While cooking, Yukino turned to look at Eriri beside her.

"No, I just feel like someone's talking about me. I'll think about it later." Eriri shook her head, sniffed, and stopped thinking about it, continuing to work.

In the living room, Xuehui looked at Shiyu, who was poking her cheek as she spoke, and also reached out to pinch Shiyu's cheek, saying, "Stop bringing up Eriri all the time, you're teasing her all day long."

"Hmph, this is interesting~"

Seeing that Shiyu showed no remorse, Xuehui shook his head, looked at Xiaojing on his left, and saw that she was just smiling and listening without saying anything, and didn't seem to want to talk, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I'll talk, alright?"

Then, he recounted his brief conversation with Saeko Busujima at the cafe.
