After the diary was updated, the chat group once again became lively at night.
Because Kasumigaoka Utaha had already mentioned Shiina Mashiro, the diary holder who had not joined the chat group.
And since the evening, she had been complaining that she hadn't run into anyone who looked like the mysterious person at the book signing all day, and had even been complaining in the group that the mysterious person was just a coward who didn't dare to show his face and could only talk big.
And then, after tonight's diary was updated, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been arrogant all evening, was fiercely slapped in the face.
Not only had the mysterious person really gone to her book signing today, but he had even changed his identity several times to get several autographs.
Otherwise, how could he have known that when she was signing autographs at the book signing today, she had deliberately put small tricks in each signature that were not obvious at first glance, but as long as the mysterious person dared to post a picture of the signature in the diary, she could immediately find out approximately what time he had come to her signing?
He could even point out the difference in her clothes between the morning and the afternoon at the signing—this was indeed also a method she had prepared to test whether the mysterious person had come in the morning or the afternoon.
She had never expected that these tricks would be completely seen through by him.
UMR: "So the mysterious person really did come over today? It's a pity I met up with NO NAME in the morning, and after looking around the book signing for a while and not finding any suspicious characters, I took everyone to a nearby arcade in the afternoon."
The great gaming showdown between her and Hinami Aoi had ended in her victory.
Therefore, Umaru's mood seemed to be quite good at the moment. Even not being able to catch the mysterious person did not affect her mood.
Kuroneko: "This is the fifth time you've deliberately brought up this topic tonight. This time it's because I couldn't come over due to taking care of Martial Uncle Jerry at home. Next time I'm over, the one who will be silent that night will be you."
Since Umaru had announced the results of the showdown in the group tonight, Hinami Aoi had been silent in the group for a long time, only saying "next time" and then letting Umaru be smug to her in the group.
Therefore, at this moment, Umaru continued to post provocative emojis in the group without a care, looking particularly punchable.
It was Yukinoshita Yukino, whose mentality had been tormented by Jerry for a day, who interrupted Umaru's self-entertainment and brought the topic back to the mysterious person.
Mr. Pan: "In other words, the mysterious person does indeed possess a disguise ability that we currently cannot see through. @Kasumi Utako, did you really not feel anything abnormal at all?"
Kasumi Utako: "I was focused on staring at all the readers who came to the signing all day today. I can confirm that I did not find a single person who was suspected of being the mysterious person. I can only say that his disguise is indeed very good."
At this time, Shinomiya Kaguya also spoke up.
Kaguya: "I have already obtained the data list of all suspicious individuals recorded by the bodyguards who went to the vicinity of the book signing today. I am currently comparing them one by one. If there is any news, I will notify everyone."
Kaguya: "However, everyone should not have too high hopes for this list. After all, I am not the administrator of Akihabara. I can't directly mobilize all the surveillance equipment on that street and calculate the information of all the personnel who entered and exited Akihabara today."
Kaguya: "And with the mysterious person's caution and disguise, he must have been fully prepared before appearing in front of us."
Kaguya: "If we want to catch that mysterious person's tail, we can only wait for him to make a mistake on his own."
As she said this, after a while, Shinomiya Kaguya then sent Shiina Mashiro's information to the chat group.
Kaguya: "The list of other personnel is still under investigation, but that Shiina Mashiro mentioned by the mysterious person tonight is indeed very famous abroad. I have already uploaded her information to the group. Everyone can take a look."
As the girls in the group looked on, a short while later, a series of gasps of admiration were issued in the chat group.
Bocchi: "So, so amazing, a genius! She was actually qualified to hold a solo art exhibition in middle school?"
Classics Club Girl: "She's even taken a photo with the British Prime Minister and is called the most brilliant pearl of future painters."
The group was basically exclaiming over the extremely brilliant life resume of Shiina Mashiro, who was also only a first-year high school student this year. A few people even said that before today, they had seen her name in some news.
Kuroneko: "So, this world-class painter is now not planning to stay in the art world, but plans to come back to Japan to draw manga, and is even planning to directly draw Kasumi Utako-sensei's story into a manga?"
Kasumi Utako: "...That should be right. She has already gotten my and Katō Megumi's consent."
Looking at the information on Shiina Mashiro in front of her, Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart was the most unsettled.
At first, she hadn't paid much attention to what Shiina Mahiru had said about Shiina Mashiro being very good at painting. After all, how high could the level of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl be?
At most, it would be the level of Eriri or that Eromanga Sensei mentioned by Miyauchi Hikage in the diary.
Who could have known that this was a world-class painter?!
Kasumigaoka Utaha carefully looked at her information.
With her level, if one could become her oil painting model, then there was really a chance to make a name for oneself in history.
So why would such a painter suddenly lose her mind and come to Japan to be a mangaka?
Kasumigaoka Utaha silently typed out her own retort in the group.
"I originally thought that a doujinshi artist like Eriri who was drawing adult manga before even becoming an adult was already very abnormal. But now I've run into this underage girl who has given up her status as a world-class artist to come back and become a mangaka. Perhaps this is the reason she can become a female protagonist."
"And it's definitely that kind of clichéd youth romance anime like a work from ten years ago."
To this, the girls in the chat group also expressed their agreement one after another.
This kind of retort like "such a persona is indeed very much like an anime female protagonist" was already very common in this chat group.
Like the chuunibyous Kuroneko and Takanashi;
The rich young ladies Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya;
The ones who were honor students on the surface but were actually gaming masters in private, Umaru and Hinami Aoi;
Although Eriri, who drew adult doujinshi, was not a member of the chat group, because her persona was too anime-like, and recently she was being fed information by Kasumigaoka Utaha every day, she was also an object of their frequent discussion.
And now, with the appearance of Shiina Mashiro, in this respect, there had finally appeared a character who could be compared with Shinomiya Kaguya, the young lady of a two-hundred-trillion-asset conglomerate.
