For the time being, Yukinoshita Yukino had little interest in focusing on the mysterious person's orientation.
Looking at the mysterious person's description in the diary of the "male protagonist" in her original story, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly.
Terrible, awkward, reclusive... If it were in the past, Yukinoshita Yukino would never have thought that these three words would have anything to do with her.
But after obtaining the diary and being able to see a more distant landscape, knowing that she no longer needed to follow in her sister's footsteps, nor did she need to prove to others that she was more outstanding, Yukinoshita Yukino was now able to look at her past self with relative objectivity.
Because she was too outstanding as a child and was unwilling to cater to others, she was envied and isolated by her peers. At home, she was not valued, and she wanted to achieve more than her sister but never dared to express her own wishes to her family.
From several perspectives, she, the "sensible and well-behaved" Second Miss Yukinoshita in the mouths of others, was also a terrible, awkward, and reclusive person.
After understanding this point, she, who had loved to read since she was a child, could already roughly guess what her original future would have been like.
Two unsociable people meet because of a car accident, and then in their second year of high school, they become entangled again for some reason.
Since it's a popular school anime, it probably wouldn't be a tragedy. So the most likely future is that the two of them would constantly be awkward with each other while also constantly supporting each other, and in the end, both would resolve their inner conflicts and welcome a beautiful future?
It sounded quite reassuring, but well, Yukinoshita Yukino breathed softly.
The life energy in her body was being continuously stimulated along with the rhythm of her breathing.
A faint electric light began to appear at her fingertips, which represented that she had initially mastered the method of converting the life energy in her body into ripple energy.
Next, she gently held the water glass on the edge of her desk with her fingers, which were now carrying ripple energy.
The water in the glass immediately began to boil as if stimulated by something.
"Just by using one Reading Point, plus one day of practice, to be able to reach this level, my talent in ripple breathing should be considered quite good."
"This is just the tip of the iceberg of Hamon. That mysterious person so easily wrote down such an extraordinary power in the diary. What on earth is he trying to do?"
Recalling the other party's mention in the second day's diary entry about the supernatural aspects of this world, a sense of crisis couldn't help but arise in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart.
Having already seen the other side of the world, she was destined to be drawn in.
Unless she was willing to pretend she didn't know anything and continue to follow her original life story.
But she had no interest in unfolding a story of mutual redemption with a boy she didn't even know yet.
The most important thing for her now was to gain freedom from her family, and then to find the other female protagonists who possessed diaries, get to know them, and then... perhaps become friends, or perhaps be isolated again.
This was not easy. In the past, she had never resisted her mother. Even after obtaining an extraordinary power like Hamon, when she thought of her mother's stern posture, she still felt a little intimidated in her heart.
But she would work hard to take this first step of change.
...
While Yukinoshita Yukino was determined to start changing, Miyauchi Hikage was worrying over the property deed in front of him.
After he finished writing today's diary, the diary's reward had changed its style again.
Perhaps because it felt that he was about to go to school in Tokyo, today it directly sent him a mansion.
A real mansion.
A two-story, luxuriously decorated, large Western-style house, with an independent courtyard and a super-large basement.
It was no exaggeration to say that this mansion, located in Tokyo where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, was worth several billion yen.
To have obtained a mansion far more valuable than his current total assets out of thin air was indeed a happy event.
He also didn't need to worry about the source of the property. The diary had already handled all the trouble for him, so there was no need to worry about the tax bureau coming to find fault.
He just needed to bring his luggage and he could move directly into this dream mansion.
It was just that the location of this mansion made him a little worried.
2-chome 23, Beika Town.
Incidentally, number 21 was Kudo Shinichi's house, and number 22 was Dr. Agasa's house. His number 23 was the house right next to Dr. Agasa's.
"But the manga never mentioned anything about number 23. As long as I don't take the initiative to get involved, I shouldn't run into any trouble, right... probably?"
Miyauchi Hikage was an old Conan-ologist in his past life and still had some impression of the plot.
Although he didn't want to get involved with Conan's constipated main plot and the Black Organization, which was full of undercover agents, with this mansion, it would be much more convenient to drop by Dr. Agasa's place and have him help mess with some black-tech products.
"As for the reward given by the diary, I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, but I definitely can't sell it directly. To resell a newly transferred mansion at a low price, even the tax bureau would have to call me an expert."
"Anyway, I'll go over and see what this reward is all about first. If it really doesn't work out, I'll just leave it as a warehouse."
"Even if I really do live there, it's not suitable for Hikari to live with me. After all, who knows what other messy rewards I'll get in the future."
"Plus, with Hikari's personality, if she spends too much time with Dr. Agasa, who knows, she might end up messing around with the Junior Detective League kids one day."
"At that time, I'll rent a nice apartment for Hikari near the school. Mmm... at most, I'll let her come over to play for two days during the holidays."
Miyauchi Hikari and he were both new students at Toyogasaki Academy. After all, Hikari didn't have much interest in going to university; she was simply drawn to Tokyo and wanted to experience life there.
After seeing from Miyauchi Hikage the liberal school culture and numerous clubs of Toyogasaki Academy, she immediately decided to attend the same high school as her younger brother.
"But I was originally thinking of staying at home for a few more days. Now I'd better go and check on the house situation earlier... Mmm, I can also take Renge and sister Ichiho to have fun for a few days."
In his past life, Miyauchi Hikage had gotten into a car accident just as he was preparing to be more proactive, so his proactiveness had always been high in this life.
Anyway, the affairs in Asahigaoka were almost all handled. The rest could be handed over by phone without any problem.
Therefore, after making the decision, he went directly to find Miyauchi Hikari, who was bored and picking her feet in her room, and told her to pack her luggage tonight. They would go to Tokyo by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
The moment she heard they were going to Tokyo tomorrow, Miyauchi Hikari was instantly revived with full health.
"What, for real? You're not kidding me? We're really leaving tomorrow?"
"Luggage? I already packed my luggage last week! As long as you give the word, we can leave right now!"
"By the way, how are we getting there tomorrow? Are we taking a plane?"
Faced with Miyauchi Hikari's barrage of questions, Miyauchi Hikage rubbed his forehead, a little helpless.
"I'll go ask Kazuho-nee later to see if she's coming with us for a few days. If she is, we'll go as a family in our own car. If the family doesn't want to go, then we'll just take the train."
Hearing that she couldn't take a plane to Tokyo, Miyauchi Hikari looked a little disappointed, but this disappointment was quickly suppressed by the joy of going to Tokyo.
"But why did you suddenly have a change of heart and decide to go to Tokyo early?" she asked her younger brother curiously.
Miyauchi Hikage glanced at his second sister. There was no need to hide this matter. "I bought a house in Tokyo. I pulled some strings and got it done early, so I'm preparing to go and take a look."
"Don't tell anyone else in the village about this for now—"
Before Miyauchi Hikage could finish his sentence, Miyauchi Hikari let out a happy scream.
"What, you've already bought a house in Tokyo?!"
