In a certain unknown pharmaceutical factory in Tokyo.
Miyano Shiho, who had been staring blankly at her computer all day, seemed to sense something.
She stood up, picked up reagent bottles labeled "Iron Oxide" and "Hydrogen Acid" from the side, poured some of each into her own cup, and then used hot boiling water to stir and dilute them.
As the rich aroma of coffee filled the room, Miyano Shiho blew on it gently, then glanced at the surveillance camera above her, and returned to her seat with the freshly brewed coffee.
Then, a black diary appeared in her hand.
And just like that, in front of the surveillance camera, she opened the diary and began to check today's entry.
Anyway, in the surveillance footage, she was probably still staring blankly at the computer. No one who came would see any problem.
This was a conclusion she had reached after many probes.
To have obtained this magical diary while being "under house arrest" by the Organization, and for her comment to have been luckily chosen on the first day her diary permissions were unlocked, she didn't know whether to consider herself unlucky or fortunate.
"After my comment yesterday, will he mention the Organization's affairs today? Will he also mention me in the diary?"
With this thought in mind, Miyano Shiho saw something that greatly shocked her.
Although the mysterious person did not mention her, she did indeed recognize all the Organization members who appeared in the diary.
But the mysterious person's comments on them were vastly different from what she knew.
Their attitudes towards Gin were similar: a cold-blooded executioner, whose sniper team had dealt with countless traitors to the Organization over the years.
But she really hadn't expected Gin to be this crazy.
The Shinkansen, a skyscraper, the Tokyo Tower, and strangely, a Ferris wheel was also mixed in.
Is Gin planning some major purge in Tokyo in the future?
And the other Organization members were even more so.
Vermouth, deeply favored by the Organization's BOSS, was busy raising a child?
Does Vermouth have a child?
Bourbon, said to be Rum's capable assistant, but she had never met him.
But the title "God of Part-Time Work" didn't sound like a proper Organization member at all.
Chianti and Korn were members of Gin's team and had done a lot of dirty work over the years.
But playing on their phones at work, and blaming their superior when they missed a shot... Did these two have the guts to blame Gin?
As for the heavyweight Rum, whom the mysterious person had spent the most ink describing, it completely subverted her perception of this mysterious and unfathomable second-in-command of the Organization.
In fact, when she simulated Rum's actions in her mind, she couldn't help but find it a bit comical.
If what the mysterious person wrote was all true, then it didn't seem so strange that he had described the Organization in that way the day before yesterday.
After all, even she, looking at the Black Organization as written by the mysterious person, felt it was a miracle that such an organization could have developed at all.
Miyano Shiho shook her head slightly, dispelling this unrealistic fantasy from her mind.
The mysterious person said that there were twenty to thirty characters who had appeared in the story, but in reality, the Organization, as a transnational criminal organization, could not possibly have only this many members.
In this building alone, there were hundreds of Organization members, not to mention worldwide.
It was just that those members had not shown their faces in the manga.
After some thought, Miyano Shiho wrote a comment in the diary.
The content was a supplement to the Organization's power, so that others would not underestimate the entire Organization's strength because of the actions of a few individual members.
Of course, she knew that from a probabilistic point of view, the possibility of her comment being selected for two consecutive days was minuscule.
However, she still had to give a reminder. If anyone still wanted to court death, then she couldn't be blamed.
After writing the comment and finishing the cooled coffee, Miyano Shiho began another task—importing all the research data on APTX4869, bit by bit, into the diary in her hand.
She was currently protesting against the Organization because she couldn't contact her sister. She didn't know when the Organization would lose patience with her.
The power of Hamon was not weak. If she were given another year, she might be able to try to escape from here with it.
But exposing the power of the ripple now would only plunge her into a more desperate situation.
Miyano Shiho didn't think of herself as a female protagonist. After all, the manga she was in was called Conan, and he already had a female protagonist by his side.
She had to be prepared for the worst.
Importing this data into this diary would, at the very least, give her one more possibility.
...
Compared to the unknown future of Miyano Shiho, the group chat of the Diary Interest Group was much more lively.
The first to speak was Hoshino Ai, who had come back to read the diary after finishing a day of training.
Ai: "Mmm... the mysterious person seems to really care about this LOVE LIVE competition. I really want to participate too, but I checked, and it's a school idol project. It has nothing to do with me at all."
Hoshino Ai, education: elementary school graduate. Became an idol at the age of 12. Although she continued her education in middle school, she was on indefinite leave due to missing too many classes.
Ai: "But seeing the mysterious person go to someone else's concert to cheer, I feel so unwilling! Kasumi Utako-sensei, do you have any thoughts of debuting as a school idol? I can come and help you!"
She had read the diary and knew that besides Kasumigaoka Utaha, Toyogasaki would also be welcoming another great beauty, Eriri, this year, as well as Katō Megumi, who would suppress both of them.
With her help, if they could form an idol team, they would definitely be able to attract the attention of her mysterious fan!
Kasumi Utako: "My light novel signing should be in half a month. And I have no interest in becoming an idol at all."
Of course, Hoshino Ai remembered that the mysterious person had said he might go to Kasumigaoka Utaha's new book signing, so it was obvious that this path was a dead end.
However, Hoshino Ai was only disappointed for a moment before she had a new idea.
Ai: "Then I'll go ask the other members of B-Komachi. I remember they're still in school. I wonder if that meets the requirements."
Ai: "I think I'm overcomplicating things. As long as my comment is selected by the diary today, won't that allow more people to contact me on their own initiative!"
Classics Club Girl: "I don't think... the probability of that is very high."
Ai: "You won't know until you try! What if it succeeds!"
And so Hoshino Ai boldly wrote her emotionally charged invitation declaration in the comment section, and attached a copy of her signature.
Then she waited for an hour, and seeing that the newly refreshed comment was not her own, Hoshino Ai shook her head with considerable regret.
