Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha could not have known that the person she was still thinking about was, from the very beginning, already in the shape of the mysterious person.
Therefore, even though she had been mercilessly rejected by the other party, she still went to Shiina Mashiro's classroom from time to time to chat with her, wanting to use her own linguistic arts to pull this natural airhead, but who seemed to have considerable talent in Hamon, into her own camp.
And on Sawamura Eriri's side, although she was very dissatisfied with the fact that the mysterious hacker she had met online had written a plain-looking girl like Katō Megumi as the female protagonist.
But seeing that Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shiina Mashiro both seemed to take that work quite seriously, she was indeed a little panicked.
After hearing some of the plot of Passerby Heroine, she had also secretly sized up Katō Megumi for a long time. Although she realized that she might have indeed misjudged her at the beginning, she still didn't think that she would become Aki Tomoya's target.
In comparison, Kasumigaoka Utaha was still a greater threat.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Kasumigaoka Utaha's side didn't seem to have any interest in Aki Tomoya.
But she was running to his classroom every day, and that guy, Aki Tomoya, was Kasumigaoka Utaha's number one fan, recommending her novel on his blog every day.
What if Aki Tomoya couldn't hold back first and confessed to that woman, Kasumigaoka Utaha?
And to be honest, the fact that Shiina Mashiro and Aki Tomoya were in the same class also made her a little uneasy.
The other party was also a blonde, mixed-race beautiful girl, whose painting talent was better than her own. She had directly become the new ace of the art club as soon as she came to school. And the purpose of her return to Japan was to create a manga that everyone could enjoy watching.
And she was also a natural airhead.
Having grown up with Aki Tomoya since she was a child and knowing how enthusiastic he was about the 2D world, she knew how lethal a girl like Shiina Mashiro was to an otaku.
In addition, she also wanted to discuss manga more with Shiina Mashiro, hoping to make her change her mind, give up on the story of Katō Megumi and Aki Tomoya, and draw a manga with herself as the female protagonist. So the number of times she went to Shiina Mashiro's classroom also increased.
It was just that neither of them had expected that doing so would stir up a whole new wave of rumors in the school.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was into blonde, mixed-race girls. She had previously forcibly kabe-donned Sawamura Eriri to capture the blonde girl's heart.
But unexpectedly, a new blonde beauty, Shiina Mashiro, had transferred in. The fickle Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to continue to make a move on her, which had triggered a conflict between her and Sawamura Eriri.
Now, Sawamura Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha both wanted to snatch Shiina Mashiro away, so they went to find her to chat every day as soon as it was break time.
Because of this rumor, Miyauchi Hikage had also leeched off a little bit of the popularity.
After all, everyone in his class had seen Shiina Mashiro come to his classroom with his older sister to find him for lunch as soon as it was noon. And after school, it was usually the two of them who walked Shiina Mashiro home together.
And so, in the eyes of many of the boys in the school, Miyauchi Hikage had become the last barrier standing in front of the two yuri school beauties, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri.
After all, quite a few boys, after comparing themselves with the two of them, found that they really couldn't compete with these two school beauties in any aspect. Naturally, they also didn't pursue Shiina Mashiro, who was in no way inferior to them.
Only Miyauchi Hikage, who had known Shiina Mashiro from the beginning, could stop the two of them from conquering her.
And Miyauchi Hikage, who had originally been a bit of an outcast in the class, had recently suddenly been discovered to be a talented video blogger, and there were even rumors that he had a mansion in Tokyo.
Therefore, when Miyauchi Hikage walked in the school now, he could occasionally feel the supportive gazes of those boys on him.
It was as if they were hoping he could successfully win over Shiina Mashiro and dampen the spirits of those two girls, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sawamura Eriri.
Miyauchi Hikage didn't care about what others thought.
The problem was that even his not-so-bright second sister seemed to have believed these rumors and would always come over from time to time to ask about the progress of his relationship with Shiina Mashiro.
It was as if she was afraid that the sister-in-law she had approved of would really be snatched away by another woman.
"So you should eat more walnuts to nourish your brain. You were saying before that the two of them had a conflict because of Katō Megumi, and now it's that the two of them want to snatch Shiina Mashiro away?"
Listening to her little brother's passive-aggressive remarks, Miyauchi Hikari let out a "hmph." "Isn't that because I'm worried about you? One of these days when Mashiro is really tricked away, you'll know regret."
Miyauchi Hikage knocked his older sister on the head, telling her to stop thinking about these messy things.
"How are you getting on with the things I taught you? Don't tell me you still haven't even gotten started?"
After getting acquainted with Shiina Mashiro, Miyauchi Hikage had once again disassembled and reassembled the ripple breathing method, and had taught the part most suitable for ordinary people to learn to his second sister and Shiina Mahiru.
This part, after his verification, would not produce the special effects of the ripple. Although maintaining this kind of breathing could steadily improve one's physique, it was a completely different school from the Hamon he had taught the girls with diaries. There was no need to worry about being noticed.
And then, he had also taught the more advanced usage methods to Shiina Mashiro.
Shiina Mashiro's talent was very good, and she learned things very quickly. With the help of Reading Value, her progress was now far ahead of the other girls.
Shiina Mahiru's talent was not bad either. It had only taken her three or four days of effort to successfully get started.
Although Miyauchi Hikari couldn't be said to have no talent in this area, she was only at an ordinary person's level.
Just sitting down to feel the rhythm of her breathing each time would take nearly half an hour, and after half an hour, the active Miyauchi Hikari would easily get distracted and think about other things.
In comparison, his eldest sister, Miyauchi Kazuho, who liked to sleep, and his little sister, Miyauchi Renge, who was also active but could also maintain enough concentration when needed, although they were also of ordinary talent, their progress back then had been much faster than Miyauchi Hikari's.
Miyauchi Hikage could only use the method he had used on his eldest sister, Miyauchi Kazuho, before. While she was sleeping, he would use his own ripple to forcibly change her breathing rhythm, and he would have to renew the ripple every few days.
After this continued for half a month and allowed her to form a muscle memory, it should be possible for Miyauchi Hikari to truly get started.
But anyway, he didn't expect his second sister to have much combat power. It would be good enough if she had some ability to protect herself.
