Shinomiya Kaguya, who was repeatedly looking at the side profile of the "Mysterious Person" on her phone, was not in a good state after seeing the sudden extra diary update tonight.
A mouse from another world had inexplicably become their "Uncle."
This sounded so utterly absurd that she stared deeply at the anthropomorphic image of the mouse that the mysterious person had uploaded.
Is the mysterious person joking when he tells them to bow when they see this mouse, or is he being serious?
The thought that she might have to bow to a mouse in the future made Shinomiya Kaguya's heart feel tight with frustration.
But her reason also told her that since the mysterious person would choose to take a mouse as his little brother, then this mouse must have its extraordinary points.
And listening to the mysterious person, could it be that he wanted to use this little mouse as his "spokesperson"?
So this otherworldly mouse might possess intelligence close to that of a human, and also have some special abilities?
Shinomiya Kaguya made a calm judgment.
The identity information of the mysterious person was currently a complete fog.
The featureless side profile he had shown today had so far not led to any suspicious candidates.
The people in the group had also, through discussion, unanimously agreed that this guy must have some kind of appearance-changing ability to have appeared in front of them so openly.
If he continued to use similar methods to appear around them, even Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't find a good way to deal with it.
It was like, although she had already spoken to the gatekeeper at Shuchi'in Academy, telling them to let any strange maintenance worker with a stepladder in and then notify her.
But what if the mysterious person disguised himself as a member of the school staff?
She couldn't possibly go up to everyone she saw and pinch their face to confirm their identity, like a certain policeman who had been chasing Kaitou Kid for over a decade.
In comparison, perhaps this mouse would be a little easier to deal with?
With this thought, Shinomiya Kaguya even began to look forward to her encounter with this mouse.
It's just a bow. If I can get a clue to the mysterious person's identity, it wouldn't be a problem even if she had to perform a dogeza.
Now, whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was that "I want to be a photographer" picture.
"Damn it, what on earth happened in between!"
The more she thought about it, the more unable to sleep she became.
And at the same time, someone who was even more depressed than Shinomiya Kaguya was Kasumigaoka Utaha.
No, seriously, it's one thing for you to take a mouse as your little brother. At worst, I'll just bow to it when the time comes. Why did you have to drag me into it again?
A big incident had just happened this afternoon. Tomorrow, the whole of Toyogasaki Academy would probably know about her kabe-don-ing a first-year girl after school.
What do you mean, "You don't have to worry too much"?
If you wanted me not to worry, you shouldn't have said it!
Now that you've said it, I'm even more worried, okay!
Although that mysterious person had said on the first day of writing the diary that she and that Second Miss of the Yukinoshita family were very popular female protagonists in the mysterious person's past life, so it didn't seem strange to receive a little extra attention...
But you can't just single her out to fleece!
What about that Yukinoshita? You said we were peerless twin prides. You have to put some pressure on her too, right?
But until now, that Yukinoshita had only been mentioned once by you, and you even helped her prevent a car accident at the start of school.
Why are we both popular female protagonists, but the treatment we receive from the mysterious person is so different?
Alright, Kasumigaoka Utaha could actually also guess the reason.
That Yukinoshita was probably the legitimate female protagonist of her own story, the one who would laugh in the end.
And on her side, although she had an IF route manga, in the main story, she was still a loser heroine, at most just not losing as tragically as Eriri.
Facts have proven that in the 2D world, this type of loser heroine character is indeed more likely to be persecuted.
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha once again fell into a certain subtle yandere state.
Lines of radical yet emotionally charged text continuously appeared in her diary.
"Hehehe... As a loser heroine, I'm so very sorry... One day, this bastard will taste the revenge from us loser heroines... hehehe..."
...
The next few days were calm, without any twists and turns.
At Toyogasaki Academy, the rumors about Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri were rampant, to the point that their class homeroom teacher even called them over to ask about it.
In the end, with a tacit understanding between the two, they described their relationship as friends who had known each other for a long time.
As for what the students of Toyogasaki thought, that was their business. Anyway, after this incident, Eriri, who had just enrolled, had already gained a level of attention not inferior to Kasumigaoka Utaha's.
And on Miyauchi Hikage's side, he maintained his persona of a steel straight man and a horror movie enthusiast. He would occasionally chat with his deskmate, Sakakibara Kōichi, about thrillers. Their relationship couldn't be called great, but they were normal friends.
However, his looks were there, and girls would still take the initiative to talk to him.
And so, Miyauchi Hikage could only seriously discuss with them whether "The Untold Story" was delicious and whether "The Human Chair" was comfortable to sit in.
After one or two such incidents, it became completely quiet around Miyauchi Hikage. Even Sakakibara Kōichi began to look at him with a somewhat subtle gaze.
Miyauchi Hikari, on the other hand, could tell at a glance that her younger brother was deliberately doing this to scare away the other girls.
But now that she had just entered high school, she was still enjoying the colorful high school life.
Since my little brother is willing, let him continue to be a loner.
At worst, I'll just make a few more best friends. When my brother regrets it later, I can introduce my best friends to him.
When Miyauchi Hikari thought of this, she subconsciously sized up her own deskmate, Katō Megumi.
She's quite good-looking, but why is her presence so low?
If she hadn't happened to be deskmates with her, she really might not have noticed her.
However, after getting to know her for a few days, she found that Katō Megumi's personality was really good. When she first learned that she was from the countryside, she hadn't shown a disdainful attitude, but was instead very interested in country life.
Later, after knowing that her hometown was in that internet celebrity village of Asahigaoka, she could even, with a calm expression, say a few of the internet memes that her brother had created.
If her brother hadn't reminded her from time to time not to talk about the video filming, she might have already told Katō Megumi about it.
Now that I think about it, if I were to really set her up with my little brother, it doesn't seem so bad?
Miyauchi Hikari thought for a while and found that there seemed to be a lot of potential.
Her little brother was a loner, young and ignorant, didn't know the taste of love, and had even fabricated a persona of liking horror movies to scare away the girls in his class.
Katō Megumi had a low presence, few boys in the class noticed her, and she hadn't shown any interest in romance for the time being.
Clearly, in the next one or two years, neither of them had the possibility of being in a relationship.
In a while, I'll ask my little brother and Katō Megumi out. They can meet each other first. As for other things, we can talk about them slowly in the future.
"As an older sister, I've really earned the allowance you gave me."
Miyauchi Hikari felt that if she were her little brother, she would probably have to get on her knees and kowtow a few times to thank herself for her great kindness.
