"Thank you for your support of this book..." Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had started to speak out of habit, immediately noticed the difference in the readers before her.
The appearances of these two blonde readers, who seemed to be of mixed race, were simply too outstanding.
They were in no way inferior to the girls who possessed diaries.
Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously compared Eriri with the girl in front of her.
In terms of skin, the delicacy of this blonde reader, whose eyes seemed slightly vacant, was even better than that of Eriri, who already looked very much like a doll.
If Eriri was a 10,000-yen doll, then the young girl in front of her was at least a limited-edition doll that one might not be able to buy for even several hundred thousand yen.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze couldn't help but linger on her for a few more moments.
But for some reason, the more she looked, the more she felt a familiar scent on her.
It wasn't until a more familiar diary suddenly appeared in the other's hand, and after a flash in front of her eyes, was put away again.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression instantly changed.
So it's another girl who holds a diary.
She had already seen several other girls today whom she hadn't seen last time.
Like the girl from the chat group called [NO NAME], whose real name was Hinami Aoi, who had said she would come to compare gaming skills with Umaru.
And an obscure singer-songwriter, the kind of pure passerby who was more than ten times more of a nobody than Hoshino Ai's B-Komachi. Her name had not yet been mentioned by the mysterious person, but because she had been chosen by the diary, she firmly believed that she would one day become Japan's most famous singer-songwriter, a girl named Tsukimi Eiko.
But this one right now...
Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a good while, but couldn't think of a girl in the chat group whose image matched the other's.
She was just about to ask if the other had joined the chat group when she heard what Shiina Mashiro said.
"I am Shiina Mashiro. I want to draw your story into a manga."
Huh?
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what she meant.
So she plans to draw the story of Passerby Heroine into a manga?
Hiss—
She couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
She could now confirm that she had indeed not seen this girl in the chat group before. After all, none of the girls in the chat group had any intention of drawing her story into a manga, let alone coming directly to ask for her opinion.
And the other blonde girl beside Shiina Mashiro looked a little nervous and hurriedly stood up to explain, "My cousin just came back from abroad. She really likes your story and also has a great passion for manga, which is why she said that to you. Please don't mind her."
So she's a girl who just came back from abroad?
I just don't know if she got the diary after returning to Japan, or if she had already gotten it while abroad.
After all, so far, the girls who had obtained the diary were basically all in Japan. There were no foreign group members in the chat group. Many people had guessed that perhaps one could only obtain a diary in Japan.
Thinking this, she then nodded at the young girl with a smile, then turned her head and said to Shiina Mashiro in a low voice, "I don't mind. After all, my story has already changed. But if you want to draw it into a manga, you still have to get the real protagonist of that story to nod and agree, right?"
Although she had just greeted Shiina Mashiro, she could already see the slightly natural airhead temperament of the young girl before her.
She wanted to see if the other would really go and find Aki Tomoya and that Katō Megumi to get this so-called consent.
And then, under her astonished gaze, Shiina Mashiro blinked her eyes again, and then waved at a young girl not far away who was not in the queue.
Although that young girl was a little puzzled, she still waved back to indicate that she was here.
Just one glance at that girl, and Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned.
Katō Megumi.
This woman, who was called the "passerby heroine" and had locked in the final victory from the very beginning.
She naturally knew what she looked like. In fact, after seeing her appearance, which was almost no different from the novel, and her low presence, Kasumigaoka Utaha was still a little disappointed.
In terms of looks, she was indeed quite cute, and her figure, while not comparable to her own, was still okay.
But overall, she really couldn't see any special features on her.
To lose to such a woman, and to be designated by the mysterious person as the kind who "can only win in an IF route manga if the original female protagonist is removed," Kasumigaoka Utaha really didn't know how on earth she had lost.
Suppressing this helpless emotion, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned to look at the Shiina Mashiro in front of her.
Shiina Mashiro, on the other hand, continued to speak with her expressionless face, "I've already obtained her consent."
To have thought of this girl as a harmless natural airhead was her mistake.
How is this girl harmless at all? She's clearly a fierce beast in sheep's clothing.
Not long after returning to the country, she had, through some unknown method, gotten in touch with that Katō Megumi, a girl who didn't have a diary.
Even if the other party was also a girl with a diary, she had to quickly find out what this girl was all about.
Kasumigaoka Utaha took the copy of Koisuru Metronome from Shiina Mashiro's hand, quickly wrote her signature on it, and then quickly wrote down her commonly used email and contact information. Then she took out a piece of paper, as if wanting Shiina Mashiro to write down her contact information on it.
It was her own business if she was unwilling to join the chat group, but since she had run into a new diary holder, it was still necessary to exchange contact information.
Otherwise, she could only wait for the Shinomiya family's side to first investigate this girl's identity.
Shiina Mashiro didn't seem to understand what this meant yet. It was Shiina Mahiru who was slightly stunned after seeing the contact information in the book.
What on earth is going on today? I feel like my cousin is always able to obtain results I can't understand, in ways I can't understand.
This very beautiful senpai in front of me, by doing this, seems to be agreeing to my cousin's approach?
Why on earth is that?
But although she couldn't figure it out no matter what, she still whispered a few reminders in her cousin's ear. Only then did Shiina Mashiro belatedly write down her contact information.
A London phone number—she hadn't gotten a Japanese phone card yet.
Shiina Mahiru, on the other hand, rubbed her head and wrote down her own contact information as well.
After thanking Kasumigaoka Utaha, she also said that if she wanted to find her cousin, she could just contact her directly.
"I'm sorry, my cousin took up so much time. Hikari and Hikage-san, you can come over too."
Kasumigaoka Utaha, on the other hand, once again placed her gaze on the young man and woman behind them, who had similar looks and similar names, and who were clearly twins.
So it's just two ordinary friends, and they came with Shiina Mashiro, a diary holder.
It seems they have nothing to do with the mysterious person.
I'll just add a few more words when I sign for them.
