Unsurprisingly, the Diary Interest Group chat exploded again.
The content of today's diary, aside from the Hamon guidance at the beginning, had a total of three bombshell key points.
The mysterious person had appeared in person for the first time, disguised himself as a maintenance worker, and went to Toyogasaki Academy, and had even left a manga of Kasumigaoka Utaha's IF route in Eriri's shoe locker!
The security guard at Toyogasaki Academy had very likely seen the mysterious person's face and had even wanted to offer him a cigarette!
And Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just joined the group yesterday and had gained a lot of influence, and seemed quite formidable... her persona had suddenly undergone a 180-degree super reversal!?
And Shinomiya Kaguya, after seeing the last few sentences of the diary, was completely dumbfounded.
She had originally planned to go to the kyudo club for a while to practice after school.
But the "You have obtained one Reading Point" in her head had disrupted her original plans.
She instantly remembered the way the diary obtained Reading Value.
Reading, writing comments, and being mentioned by the diary's owner.
Clearly, this was because that mysterious person had mentioned her name in today's diary, which was why she had received an extra Reading Point!
What on earth did he write today? Is it about something that will happen to her or the Shinomiya family in the future?
So she quickly found a quiet place, opened the diary, and began to check.
And then...
What the hell?
What is all this?
She could now confirm that she was that "Shinomiya Kaguya," but what on earth did the picture that appeared at the end of the diary mean?!
Putting aside the fact that her future self showed no signs of physical development compared to her current self for a moment.
She, the young mistress of the Shinomiya Conglomerate with total assets exceeding two hundred trillion, would say something like "I want to be a photographer" to her own older brother in the future?
Since when did she want to be a photographer?
She had grown up to this age and had never even touched a camera once.
More importantly, her older brother, who had always been so high and mighty in front of her, why was he sitting on the floor, listening to her speak with an upward gaze?
What kind of bizarre experience did she have in her future to cause the scene in the picture to appear?!
At this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to understand a little why that mysterious person had evaluated her story in that way.
Because she herself couldn't understand what she was doing either, ahhh!
Shinomiya Kaguya covered her head.
The moment she thought of the possible reactions of the people in the group after seeing this picture, she could feel her face burning.
Maybe I should just leave the group for a while and come back after this has blown over?
At this moment, Shinomiya Kaguya even had the thought of escaping.
But in the end, she still controlled her sense of shame.
If she were to run away now, the influence she had fought for in the group yesterday would be completely wasted.
I can't run away.
Not only could she not run away, but she even needed to use this picture to create a more "approachable" image for herself to further close the distance between her and the others in the group.
Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya gritted her teeth fiercely and decided to just admit it in the group.
Then she @'d Kasumigaoka Utaha in the group chat, asking if she needed her help.
She now deeply understood the mentality Kasumigaoka Utaha had when she was exposed.
From this moment on, the two of them were truly comrades on the same battle line.
Damn you, mysterious person! In the name of the Shinomiya family, I will find you! You just wait!
...
As for Kasumigaoka Utaha's side, it was another scene entirely.
Because of yesterday's events, Kasumigaoka Utaha could feel that the number of times she was being discussed and secretly glanced at in class today had increased quite a bit.
However, she hadn't cared about these things in her first year of high school. Otherwise, she wouldn't have openly gone to talk to Eriri after school.
As for the content of her chat with Eriri?
Although some sparks did fly, overall, it was just a one-sided steamrolling by her.
After all, with the premise of knowing Eriri's tsundere nature, it was too easy for her to handle the other girl.
It got to the point where she felt there was no need to bully her like this. After all, the other girl was already so tragic in the original story. If she still bullied her, wouldn't it make the other group members laugh at her if word got out?
Having competed with this low-tier player, Kasumigaoka Utaha had originally wanted to find that high-tier player, Katō Megumi, today to see who on earth she was.
However, before she could start her action, a prompt from the diary made her heart jump.
That mysterious person couldn't have failed to find a topic to pad his diary with again, and so just copied her story again, could he?
Kasumigaoka Utaha hurriedly took her diary and went to the literature club. That was her territory, quiet enough and no one would come to disturb her.
And the facts proved...
The mysterious person was ten times more malicious than she had thought!!
Not only did he use a despicable method to sneak into the school, but he even stuffed her personal route manga into the shoe locker of that loser heroine, Eriri.
Kasumigaoka Utaha could feel her fists hardening.
What on earth are you trying to do, you bastard?
She had already figured it out yesterday. Eriri and that Aki Tomoya should have some kind of awkward childhood friend relationship.
If that Eriri girl were to see the things in the manga, who knows what kind of big trouble would break out!
Kasumigaiga Utaha couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't even have time to glance at the group chat and hurriedly got up and ran downstairs.
She had to get that manga before Eriri found it.
For this, she even unconsciously used some Hamon techniques in the process of rushing.
The people around only felt that the usually quiet Kasumigaoka was in such a hurry today. Could it be that she had run into some trouble?
As Kasumigaoka Utaha passed by them at an astonishing speed, they could even vaguely hear a little bit of an electric sound.
However, this matter was naturally treated as them having misheard, and they didn't pay it any mind.
Sparks and lightning all the way from the literature club to the entrance of the school building.
Kasumigaoka Utaha faced the hundreds of shoe lockers in front of her, gritted her teeth, and began to ask the first-year students passing by where the shoe lockers for Eriri's class were located.
Among those asked, a certain purple-haired girl said, "I don't know. I'm in Class 1-A. Katō, do you know where the shoe lockers for Class G are?"
A certain ordinary-looking girl beside her calmly shook her head. "If even you don't know, Miyauchi, then I definitely wouldn't know either. You should ask someone else, Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Perhaps it was the name Katō that allowed Kasumigaoka Utaha to regain some of her ability to think.
She looked at the two young girls in front of her.
On closer inspection, the looks of both of them were actually above average.
It was just that the purple-haired girl, Miyauchi, had a bit of a tomboyish air, and that Katō, although her features were regular and her figure was quite good, for some reason, always gave off an inconspicuous feeling.
If it weren't for the purple-haired girl's reminder, Kasumigaoka Utaha really wouldn't have noticed her existence.
Realizing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha instantly thought that this girl was probably that "passerby heroine" who had won in the end, Katō Megumi.
She had never thought that their first interaction would be under these circumstances.
Although there were many things she wanted to ask her, now was indeed not the time.
Anyway, she already knew the other person was in Class A. There would be plenty of time in the future. Right now, it was more important to find Eriri's shoe locker.
Kasumigaoka Utaha gave the calm-faced Katō Megumi a deep look, said thanks, and then turned to find someone else who might know.
Watching Kasumigaoka Utaha's hurried departing figure, Miyauchi Hikari gossiped to Katō Megumi, "I heard yesterday that this Kasumigaoka-senpai, who gave the speech for the second years yesterday, has a strange relationship with a blonde, half-foreign girl from Class 1-G. Look at how anxious she was just now. Could the rumors be true?
"As expected of Tokyo. Is the big city so open about this kind of thing?"
Listening to her deskmate's sigh, Katō Megumi felt that she seemed to have some strange misunderstandings about Tokyo.
But she also felt just now that the way that Kasumigaoka-senpai was looking at her was a bit off.
Could this be the so-called 'eating from the bowl while looking at the pot'?
But I'm inconspicuous most of the time. She should forget about me soon, right?
