Honestly, my heart almost stopped beating at that moment.

"I'm an unemployed bum who lives off my parents' pension." Ugh, how could I say something like that! So I told Ms. Hanon, "I'm investigating the yakuza who drove my parents to their deaths with loan sharks."

Phew, as expected of someone aspiring to be a director, by the time I came to my senses, I had already perfectly crafted the persona of a "bitter and resentful wanderer from the underworld," and my acting was so convincing that Miss Kanon didn't suspect a thing! Good heavens, she's so innocent! Truly an angel!

I'd seen those so-called PUA techniques circulating online before. They all started by using a persona of wealth, extensive connections, broad knowledge, and unwavering devotion to lure women. I never imagined I'd use it on Ms. Kanon without even realizing it. Should I call myself a genius? Whew, I'm even shocked by this terrifying talent of mine…

To be honest, the reason my "playboy" persona worked is because Ms. Kanon is too young and too kind. High school students haven't seen much of the world and have unrealistic fantasies about the so-called underworld. Does she really think this is a novel? Okay, I'll take advantage of this momentum to successfully confess and then become Ms. Kanon's protector!

Oh right, after hearing my story, Ms. Kanon gave me a number and told me to go find someone named Hanayama, saying he could help me. Heh, he's probably some delinquent who's considered a hero by high school student Kanon. What use is a brat like that? I'm not calling him.

Diary entry for November 14th

I ran into Ms. Hanon at the coffee shop again today. She was curious why I hadn't called Hanayama. Just as I was making excuses, she said she was free tomorrow, which is the weekend, and could take me to see Hanayama. Could this be... a date?

Oh my god! I'm so excited! I'm so excited!

"Xiaoyuan, please go to work, waah!" Sigh, the old woman is nagging again. Do you know you're about to have a daughter-in-law?

Diary entry for November 15th

……

……

...What happened there? That Huashan!

I searched online, and it turns out to be Kaoru Hanayama! He's the leader of the Hanayama Group, a subsidiary of the Fujiki Group, one of Japan's largest yakuza groups. Rumor has it he's the strongest yakuza in Japan? Well, I believe it. You guys just haven't seen it. Kaoru Hanayama's physique is simply divine, like a god descended to earth!

Damn, this is so exciting! I just wanted to get Hanon-san's attention, how did it turn out like this?

"I need to go to the gym, so I'll leave this to you." Ms. Hanon casually told Kaoru Hanayama before leaving, leaving me alone to face the menacing yakuza.

I recalled when I first entered, the thugs addressed Miss Huayin with terms like "Big Sister," "Brother Hua," and "Sister Ye"... What... what exactly is going on?

There was no other way but to grit my teeth and continue the act. I stumbled through the story I had made up for Hanayama Kaoru, telling him that all I knew was that a yakuza named Nishimura had driven my parents to their deaths, and that I knew nothing else. But sooner or later I would find that person and kill him with my own hands!

Kaoru Hanayama seems to have believed what I said. Right now, I'm staring blankly at the pistol that guy from the Hanayama Group named Kizaki gave me.

How did I, a perfectly good unemployed bum, end up as an armed killer? Kizaki even said he would help me find someone with the surname Nishimura so that he could complete my revenge plan as soon as possible.

This……

Let me Google how to fire a gun first...

Author's Note: This chapter and the next one are a bit of a parody diary entry, which will serve as a transition between the death row inmate arc and the Sea King tournament. It'll be over soon.

Chapter 659, Section 666: Yuan Yuan's Diary (Part 2)

Diary entry for November 17th

It's been three days already, and I still don't know how to fire the gun!

No, why do I need to learn how to shoot a gun?!

In short, for the past three days I've gone to Kizaki's place every day to practice shooting and listen to him tell stories of the boss's glorious deeds. Kaoru Hanayama was so young, yet he accomplished so much—he's a real man! By the way, have you heard the story of the chivalrous knight-errant?

Ugh, why did I even write that... Enough, I've heard enough...

Miss Hanon... hasn't come lately. What's the point of what I'm doing now?

Diary entry for November 18th

The gods answered my request, and I saw Miss Kanon again today. Apparently, she was invited to eat king crab. She and Kaoru Hanayama are so close, what exactly is their relationship? I'm so curious, what is Miss Kanon's true identity? Kizaki has always been very secretive about her… If she and Kaoru Hanayama are a couple, I… I wouldn't dare steal a woman from that scoundrel.

She was very interested when she saw me and asked if I had found my adversary—but what adversary could I possibly have? So, after having a couple of drinks and getting a little tipsy, Ms. Hanon patted her chest and promised that she would find another way to help me investigate Nishimura's whereabouts.

So she's such a bold and unrestrained woman?

But I'm even more tempted now!

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm just infatuated with Kanon-san's looks. I don't really know anything about her... Ah! Could it be that Kanon-san is the daughter or granddaughter of a yakuza boss? Is she a princess of the underworld? That's quite possible!

By the way, what's her last name?

Diary entry for November 20th

"Xiaoyuan, please go to work, waaaaah!" It's Sunday today, and I was woken up early by my old lady. So unlucky. I stayed up late last night watching the Panda Fight game stream, and I'm a little sleepy now.

Around noon, I received a call from Ms. Kanon! How did she get my number? No, that's not the point. The point is, she actually contacted me first! She asked me to go to Shinjuku subway station and write "XYZ" on the message board. I know that place; influencers on the Kuaishou and Douyin apps often go there to check in. Could this really be a date?

Diary entry for November 21th

Uh, what the heck was this so-called "City Hunter" I met yesterday? A masculine woman and a frivolous man, that's it?

They seem to be private investigators. I heard that Ms. Hanon paid me a fee, and they will help me investigate Nishimura's affairs.

I feel really bad that they went to so much trouble for my made-up excuse. I don't know how to go on now.

Diary entry for November 22th

The seemingly unreliable City Hunter actually found "Nishimura"?! What the heck? That's incredibly efficient!

I heard that "Nishimura" is the leader of a certain yakuza organization. He started out as a loan shark, then changed his name to avoid his enemies, and climbed the ranks to become a yakuza tycoon by accumulating wealth...

Now the question is, what should I do?

Diary entry for November 23th

Kizaki asked again, "I've already given you Nishimura's whereabouts. Now it's my turn to act."

What the hell am I supposed to do?! Am I really going to shoot him dead?

"Xiaoyuan, please go to work, waaaah." The old woman is so annoying... Sigh, maybe this good-for-nothing son of mine will die soon, so I can lighten my parents' burden a bit.

If I reflect on it, I've actually accomplished nothing all these years! My dreams of becoming a director or a novelist were just daydreams. In reality, I'm just a talentless, immoral, lazy bum who lives off my parents!

Waaaaah, how did I end up like this? And who exactly is Ms. Kanon...?

No! Just as I got up in the middle of the night to write this sentence because I couldn't sleep, I decided to meet with Ms. Hanon and tell her the truth!

Diary entry for November 24th

Things took a turn for the better! I contacted Ms. Kanon through Kizaki, and the moment she saw me, she knew I didn't have the courage to shoot and kill anyone.

“The underworld is indeed cruel and not suitable for everyone,” she said. “Forget it, being dragged into the abyss by revenge is not your life.”

Oh, what an understanding angel! Of course, I immediately accepted the offer. But then Ms. Kanon said, "I'll help you solve this."

So she started making phone calls, contacting a police officer named "Nogami" to investigate "Nishimura." "Nogami"... that sounds familiar. Let me search for it.

Diary entry for November 25th

"Nogami" is actually the Superintendent General of Police! A powerful figure in the Japanese police force, the second or third in command?! Ms. Kanon, who exactly are you... Never mind, I've stopped thinking about who she is. We're not even in the same world.

She's connected to the underworld, private detectives, the police force, and even the political world—the only thing missing is the business world. Miss Kanon... she's not an angel after all, but a witch?

Hehehe, a shut-in like me is not good enough for her at all. Our encounter was just a beautiful mistake. I was just wishful thinking and embarked on a path of no return.

Diary entry for November 26th

Today was the last time I saw Ms. Kanon.

"Nishimura" and his gang were wiped out last night. Strangely, they were brutally murdered by a mysterious figure long before the police could even begin their operation; rumors say it was the work of some urban chivalrous hero. I have a strong feeling this was all because of me; I feel so sorry for "Nishimura"...

Fearing that Ms. Kanon might think I was seeking revenge, I quickly explained as soon as we met, but she didn't seem to care. She simply said, "I know, it's probably that guy Akoya," and then fell silent.

Did she even know about this?

No, I dared not think any further. Miss Hanon arrived in a luxury car, comforted me that "Nishimura" was dead and the great revenge had been avenged, and then hurriedly left. I asked her where she was going, and she said she was going back to China for some event and had to catch a flight. I asked her if there were still flights to China at this time, and she said it was a private jet…

Hehehe... I didn't even get to say thank you, let alone confess my feelings.

I'm such a loser.

Diary entry for November 27th

"Xiaoyuan, please go to work, waaaaah." My mom said that again, and this time I didn't argue back.

I've decided to strive for excellence, to be a cheerful person, a positive person, and a person who works hard for their ideals.

My encounter with Ms. Hanon was like a dream, allowing me to experience a life I never imagined. I will use this experience as a blueprint to write a screenplay and a novel, which I believe will be a bestseller.

I finally know who Miss Kanon is! She's not an angel, nor a witch, she's a goddess! She's my muse!

This month-long experience was unique. I feel that it was that girl who helped me grow into a real man! It will be a new starting point in my life!

Diary entry for November 28th

I came across this book online today: "The Untold Magical Story Behind the Girl Working in the Bar - Miss Xiaotong, My Muse".

A shut-in who admires a girl working at a bar fabricates a story about chasing down an enemy. The mysterious girl then mobilizes resources from the underworld, police, political, and economic circles to solve the shut-in's problem. Only then does the shut-in realize that he knows far less about the girl's true identity.

WTF! How could we have the same experience?! They beat me to it! Is the competition among shut-ins this fierce these days?!

As expected, the idea of ​​instant success is all a lie...

"Xiaoyuan, please go to work, waaaaah!"

"I understand, Mom. I'll go work at the convenience store tomorrow."

Author's Note: Hmm, this kind of diary entry tends to be quite long and can easily become verbose. Now I understand why that person was able to write a whole book about it.

Section 667, Chapter 660: Things You Can't Avoid in Life

"Ah~ I love you~ the snow of my hometown~" Hanon hummed a song as she excitedly disembarked from her private plane. Accompanying her were Suoh Mieko, Adam Dadori, and little sister Mishima Hitomi, all of whom were old acquaintances.

Hanon and Hitomi are both students, and they both took leave this time. Garuda originally wanted to come too, but since high school in Japan has already started, Garuda's grades have dropped. As a teacher, Wu Yacha has strict rules, so naturally he wouldn't allow her to skip class with Hanon anymore.

Hanon had only sung two lines when she sneezed: "Haa—choo! It's so cold!"

China is a vast country with Hainan Province in the tropics, where temperatures can still reach nearly 30 degrees Celsius in December. But from the lyrics of the song Huayin sings, we know that they landed in the Northeast—Heilongjiang, a place where winters can be as cold as minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius.
