Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: Kasumigaoka Utaha's Resentment

The things Miyauchi Hikage wrote in his diary were already quite restrained.

But the chaotic relationships of the Sawagoe Tomaru family still gave the many young girls reading the diary a bit of a small, adult shock.

After all, when had these young girls, who had never even been in a relationship, ever encountered such things?

Takanashi Rikka felt that her sealed Tyrant's Eye had been polluted.

Yukinoshita Yukino squeezed the diary tightly, suppressing the urge to vomit.

Chitanda Eru looked at the diary with a complicated expression, worried about what might happen to Katsura Kotonoha in the future.

Shinomiya Kaguya's expression was icy, thinking about what to do to carry out the humane euthanization of the few scumbags mentioned in the diary.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, although she was also quite shocked, after the shock, as a creator, the point she was struggling with was somewhat different from an ordinary person's.

"So what on earth were the 'some radical things' that Katsura Kotonoha did after falling into a state of despair? He's already written this much, why does he still have to be a riddler and be so secretive!?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's fingers tapped rapidly on the desktop, trying to find that sliver of inspiration.

She felt that she could guess what the mysterious person was hiding.

After all, the mysterious person had also given a constraint earlier.

That Saionji Sekai, after personally killing Itou Makoto, had lied to Katsura Kotonoha that she was pregnant with his child.

And although Katsura Kotonoha was frail, she was a young girl who had practiced iaijutsu since she was young.

If she were to encounter such a thing, what would she do to that Saionji Sekai?

As the speed of her tapping on the desktop grew faster and faster, the expression on her face also became more and more excited.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was prone to immersing herself in her own world and entering a slight yandere state when creating, at this moment completely put herself in the situation faced by the Katsura Kotonoha in the diary.

Suddenly, the movement of her hands stopped, and a strange expression appeared on her face.

"Could it be... she cut open the other's stomach to check if what she said was true or false?"

Thinking of this answer, Kasumigaoka Utaha instantly snapped out of that state. While shivering, she even felt that her self from just now was a bit scary.

I can't think about it anymore. If I continue to think about it, my future novel writing might be affected.

She didn't want her debut work to end with a hatchet ending where the female protagonist has a dark turn and kills everyone.

And, this was just her own guess based on the mysterious person's text, after putting herself in the situation.

What the real Katsura Kotonoha was thinking... she had never met the other person, how could she guess so accurately?

Using the ripple breathing method, Kasumigaoka Utaha calmed her mood.

Looking at the diary interest group, where the other few people were all supporting Katsura Kotonoha in the group chat, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not say what she had just thought of.

It was better not to say this kind of pure speculation and affect others.

After cursing the scumbags a few more times, Kasumigaoka Utaha shifted the topic to the information revealed by the mysterious person in today's diary.

Kasumi Utako: "The mysterious person mentioned his future schedule in the diary again today."

Kasumi Utako: "Going to Kanagawa to watch a basketball game, going camping, going to an idol concert to cheer offline, coming to my new book signing, finding a certain phantom thief for an autograph... how many appointments has he made for himself so far..."

Classics Club Girl: "In the first day's diary, the mysterious person said he had a younger sister, and that he had to play with her the next morning. But in the second day's diary, he wrote that he woke up late. He probably forgot about playing with his sister."

Looking at Chitanda Eru's rational analysis, Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.

So far, all the information they had seen was written by the mysterious person himself.

An adult male with a younger sister, who had just resigned and was preparing to travel everywhere, and who liked the 2D world.

This was what they could judge for now.

But who knew which of these were true and which were false?

The mysterious person would definitely not be so honest as to reveal his own information.

If they wanted to find the mysterious person, they could really only wait for the other party to appear in front of them himself.

But as long as he stood them up, they still had no way of doing anything.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. And so, Kasumigaoka Utaha, carrying some personal emotions, began to write her own comment in the diary.

And an hour later, she looked with some embarrassment at her own comment being selected and appearing on the diary.

[Kasumigaoka Utaha:

I am Kasumigaoka Utaha. I believe everyone who is reading the diary at this moment knows my identity, so I won't say more.

Mr. Tom, I have noticed that you have been adding new schedules to your diary every day recently, including this little woman's new book signing in half a month.

Such a special honor makes this little girl endlessly grateful. Here, I sincerely invite you to attend my new book signing. I hope you can take the time out of your precious schedule to come and guide this little woman.

Of course, if you, Mr. Tom, are unable to come because you are too busy, this little girl will not mind.

After all, I am just an uninteresting girl whom no one fancies, who can only come out on top in an IF route by having the main heroine of the main story deleted, and whose reputation is in tatters in the eyes of other diary holders. How could I dare to make any demands of you, Mr. Tom?

Also, it's not just this little girl. Hoshino Ai-san is actually also very much looking forward to you attending her concert. For this purpose, we have even specially established a LINE group chat with you, Mr. Tom, at its core. I wonder if you would be interested in joining our group chat?]

Below that was an explanation about the group chat, stating that it used Reading Value to block the search of irrelevant personnel and to protect the personal information of the group members from being leaked.

Looking at the resentment faintly emanating from Kasumigaoka Utaha's comment, Miyauchi Hikage couldn't help but wipe his forehead.

This is why I said the traditional diary-viewing web novel genre is unreliable. The protagonists in those works can arouse the curiosity and goodwill of the female protagonists just by writing a few diary entries.

When it comes to me, I just put a little pressure on Kasumigaoka Utaha, and it feels like her yandere attribute is about to be triggered?

Indeed, my choice to hide my identity at the beginning was correct.

If I had exposed my identity at the beginning, I might have already been imprisoned in some underground dark room and be at the mercy of a group of yandere girls by now.

"In a couple of days, I'll stuff your IF route manga into Eriri's shoe locker."

Looking at Hoshino Ai and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had even established a group chat and wanted to use this method to find him, Miyauchi Hikage muttered to himself.

"This group chat seems a bit interesting. Should I join it to see what they're talking about?"

"But, what on earth is 'Reading Value'?"

Is it a reward that those diary holders can get after reading my diary?
