Ten minutes later, in a coffee shop not far from the station.
Because there weren't many customers in the morning, Hayasaka Ai didn't have to spend much money to temporarily book out the entire cafe and had the Shinomiya family's bodyguards stand guard outside.
The three girls glanced at the pink-haired girl who was curled up in a corner, her head bowed, not daring to look at anyone.
Then they glanced at Hayasaka Ai in her maid outfit.
Finally, their gazes fell on Kaguya-chan, who seemed to be in a daze and knew nothing, happily eating a snack.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's foot-stomping was particularly noticeable in the coffee shop, where they were the only table of customers.
Although she knew that stomping her feet was not a good habit, in the current situation, Kasumigaoka Utaha really couldn't help this habit of hers.
What the hell is all this?
Shinomiya Kaguya, as the initiator of this gathering, although her image had undergone some subtle changes in the hearts of the others due to yesterday's diary.
But considering the calm temperament she had always shown in the group, and the mysterious person's description of her future, her status in the group had not been affected too much. Instead, they only felt that this young lady of the Shinomiya family was quite "approachable."
Who could have thought that Shinomiya Kaguya also had this setting of her personality changing based on her mood before bed and the quality of her sleep!
Who on earth came up with this magical setting? Did the scriptwriter watch too much Martin Morning?
And then there was that Guitar Hero, Bocchi-chan.
This posture indeed fit the "social phobe" image mentioned in the diary.
They didn't doubt her identity.
After all, this extremely socially anxious posture, where she would even be startled into making a meme-face just by being approached by someone, really didn't seem like an act.
And the Guitar Hero's account had been followed by them after the mysterious person first wrote about it in the diary. The Guitar Hero herself was also one of the first members to enter the chat group after it was made public, it was just that she had basically never spoken in the chat group.
But the problem was, the diary entry that the mysterious person had updated fifteen minutes ago.
Time rewinds to fifteen minutes ago.
At that time, the three girls were still at the station entrance, discussing why Shinomiya Kaguya hadn't replied in the group.
As a result, the diary had, extremely rarely, refreshed in the morning.
[Good morning, everyone~
Are you surprised by today's diary update time?
No need to be surprised. After all, today is the day of the first offline meetup for you who have the diary. Although the number of participants is not many, I am still very concerned about this matter.
So when I found a poor little social phobe, Bocchi-chan, who had arrived near the station early in the morning, but was cowering in a side alley, secretly observing for a long time and not daring to come forward, how could I, an ally of justice, just sit by and watch!
@Guitar Hero, a hero can't flee on the eve of battle! Since you're already here, don't just give up in a small alley. Just go for it.
@Kasumi Utako, to make it easier for you to recognize her, I'll post some reaction images first to give you some help, okay?

Anyway, don't let this girl run away. For this kind of social phobe, you have to push her hard.
@Kuroneko... forget it. Today is the day of your first gathering, so I won't talk about your affairs. You should just communicate more with Kasumi Utako-sensei about emotional problems.
Finally, @Shinomiya Kaguya, where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet for the meeting you arranged?
Don't tell me you got too excited after reading the diary last night and turned into Kaguya-chan this morning.
Thinking about it carefully, there really is this possibility. After all, in the settings, Kaguya's emotions are unstable, and she can even hold meetings with herself in her head sometimes.
But now that you all have practiced Hamon, if that kind of situation really occurs, you can use the ripple to put her into a deep sleep. I estimate that she should be able to return to normal after she has had enough sleep.
Although it's the weekend today, I, Teacher Tom, will still take some precious time to give you all a lesson and teach you how to use the ripple to make someone quickly enter a deep sleep. This is much more effective than sleeping pills and melatonin.]
It was precisely because of this diary entry that the few girls had found their way to the surrounding small alleys and discovered the trembling Bocchi-chan, who had collapsed on the ground, as well as the somewhat strange-looking Shinomiya Kaguya nearby.
Regarding Shinomiya Kaguya's state, after they had inquired with her personal maid, Hayasaka Ai, they had confirmed that she was indeed in a "Kaguya-chan" state.
After that, they had suggested first coming to a nearby coffee shop to sit for a while and discuss today's diary.
Of course, to avoid problems, they were now basically all talking in the group chat.
Kasumi Utako: "So, that bastard mysterious person must have been around just now, right? Otherwise, how would he know that besides us, Bocchi-chan had also come, and even accurately stated Kaguya's current state?"
Kasumi Utako: "Maybe our every move is under his watch right now."
Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha's statement, several people subconsciously scanned their surroundings, but naturally found nothing.
UMR: "Could it be that the mysterious person has the ability to be invisible? He's not standing right next to us now, is he?"
UMR: "And even though everyone is together, why didn't he mention me? Am I that lacking in presence? I'm a little angry!"
Fallen Holy Black Cat: "Isn't it a good thing that he didn't mention your affairs? I'm still struggling with why the mysterious person started talking and then didn't finish... So why did he tell me to communicate more with you, Kasumi Utako-sensei, about emotional problems?"
Kuroneko, who had originally felt that her future didn't matter, was now, because of the mysterious person's actions, becoming more and more concerned about it in her heart.
Kasumi Utako: "...Could it be that he's hinting that in your story, you're actually also a loser heroine?"
Fallen Holy Black Cat: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could I, the great Fallen Holy Black Cat of Chiba, so easily sign a contract with someone else? No matter how you think about it, there must be a problem with that!"
Kasumi Utako: "...Just treat it as that bastard's sick sense of humor. Anyway, let's talk about this later. Let's get back to the main topic first."
Kasumi Utako: "Never mind where the mysterious person is hiding right now. I think we should still wake up Kaguya's original consciousness first. Otherwise, our gathering today will probably have to end here. What do you all think?"
Fallen Holy Black Cat: "Wouldn't that be a bit risky? After all, the Shinomiya family's bodyguards are all around, and that personal maid of Kaguya's won't let us lay a hand on her, right?"
Kasumi Utako: "This Hayasaka-san should be the person Kaguya trusts the most. As long as the diary doesn't issue a warning, I think we can give it a try."
