He accompanied Shiina Mashiro in picking out dozens of manga of various styles.
The process of picking out the manga was basically all Miyauchi Hikage's effort.
After all, Katō Megumi had not been exposed to 2D culture before meeting Aki Tomoya, and Shiina Mahiru was also not familiar with this area.
Miyauchi Hikari seemed to know a lot, but in fact, it was all just what she had picked up from being around him. Only he was a true anime and manga expert in this respect.
Relying on his years of experience, as well as the careful selections from Aki Tomoya's years of blogging, the process of searching for manga was relatively fast.
In the end, because the quantity was a bit large, Miyauchi Hikage even specially found a store clerk and had them help pack these manga up and deliver them to Shiina Mahiru's house together.
After giving Shiina Mashiro a reassuring look, he then had his older sister take the other few girls to go shopping in other places.
After doing all this, he first found Sakakibara Kōichi in the detective novel section, and then found the engrossed Itou Kaiji under the bookshelf for a certain gambling manga that was said to be adapted from the true story of Akagi Shigeru.
After his two great generals had returned to him, Miyauchi Hikage then took the two of them to continue the procurement that they had not finished before.
He basically had a good idea of the performance of these things and how they felt to use.
It was just that before, he had planned to let Sakakibara Kōichi and Itou Kaiji spend some time familiarizing themselves with the operation of these pieces of equipment, so that in the future, he could also control them from a distance.
But now that time was a bit tight, he temporarily skipped these steps.
Later in the evening, they had a meal at a restaurant opened by a chef who had graduated from Totsuki Academy.
Of course, he didn't have as much face as Shinomiya Kaguya to be able to invite a former Elite Ten member to specially prepare a dinner for those girls who had the diary.
But even the food made by an ordinary Totsuki graduate was indeed much more delicious than the food in a regular restaurant.
"After school tomorrow, I will bring a gift to see you. At that time, you can talk to me about anything you want."
"So tonight, you should first study the manga I bought for you today. When I come over tomorrow, I will also be asking you some questions, you know?"
To prevent Shiina Mashiro from staying up all night reading manga, he even specially set a latest bedtime for her, telling her that she must go to bed before this time.
After getting Shiina Mashiro's consent, Miyauchi Hikage then continued to drag his two great generals to the outside of that completely deserted mansion in Beika Town.
The process of filming the video was not that complicated. This was also just a test video, so it didn't require particularly professional equipment.
It had to be said that Itou Kaiji really had some talent in this area.
After Miyauchi Hikage gave him a few simple pointers, he had grasped the core idea that internet videos either sell sex or sell ugliness, and in front of the camera, he fully expressed his fear of this mansion where a murder had once occurred.
And Sakakibara Kōichi's calm tone as he talked about the case that had happened here and his retorts to Itou Kaiji's actions, the effect also looked quite good.
Although overall, there was nothing particularly terrifying, but with the control of him, this old artist, the overall atmosphere was quite good.
In the later stages, if he added some classic suspenseful tunes from his past life, as a test video for scouting, it shouldn't be too difficult for this kind of innovative video to gain popularity online.
"Well done. As expected, my judgment was not wrong. You were born to do this."
Miyauchi Hikage did not spare his praise, and then also gave these two great generals a small red envelope each as a reward.
After arranging Itou Kaiji's tasks for the next few days, and by the way, painting a grand picture for him of a Tokyo branch office that was in tense preparation, Miyauchi Hikage then waved goodbye to the two of them, preparing to go home and write today's diary.
And on Kasumigaoka Utaha's side, after trying to catch the mysterious person all day to no avail, she felt in her heart that that guy was definitely just talking nonsense and hadn't come to her side at all. Thus, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, when she opened her diary for the seventh time tonight, she finally saw today's update.
[A certain Kasumi Utako-sensei shouldn't still be complaining in her heart that I didn't come to your book signing today, right?
To be honest, if you really think so, then my heart would grow cold.
Although considering that this is the opening of the Kasumigaoka IF route, I didn't go to grab the first signing spot, but I got more than one of your autographs today, Kasumi Utako-sensei.
After all, for the masterpiece of Kasumi Utako-sensei, one naturally has to buy a few more copies.
One for collection, one for personal use, and another for proselytizing.
I can see that you have indeed spent a lot of effort to catch me.
Your clothes changed between the morning and the afternoon, you said different things to every reader who came to the signing, and even hid a secret mark in the signature of every book.
It's just that after I used several identities to attend your book signing, all these skills you designed have been completely seen through by me.
If you want to catch me with this method, then you're still at least 20,000 years too early.
But overall, although the things Kasumi Utako-sensei prepared didn't bring me any special surprises, the other girls who appeared at the book signing today really made me feel that this trip was not in vain.
Tsukimi Eiko, who attended the signing in the morning, her ultimate big event, I'm still not entirely sure what the situation will be in this world, so let me keep you in suspense for now.
But when the truth is revealed, it will definitely bring a considerable shock to everyone.
The Shiina sisters who appeared in the afternoon also gave me a little surprise.
Perhaps from their appearance, you would think that the two of them should have been sisters from the beginning.
But in fact, the two of them are the female protagonists of two different works.
Different authors, different creation times, different work genres.
Even their personas are completely different.
One is a genius painter who is ignorant of the world and wants to become a manga artist. The other is a little girl who puts on a gentle and well-behaved appearance and is afraid of being abandoned by her parents.
The only thing that can really be connected is their similar names.
I also didn't expect that two female protagonists who should have been completely unrelated would actually become a pair of sisters in this world, and that the two would even live together. Now the plots of these two works are completely destroyed.
Could it be that just like how all the people with the surname Takanashi are all relatives, all the people named Shiina Ma-X are also cousins?
I thought about it again.
The number of people named Shiina Ma-X in various works seems to be quite large, and even considering the additional condition of blonde hair, it seems that a few more targets can be filtered out.
But I'm too lazy to investigate.
@Shinomiya Kaguya, since you like to send your subordinates to investigate so much, then I'll leave this matter to you to help with. I'll just come to you for the data directly at that time.]
