I'm a weird expert in Japan

My old book friends, long time no see.

New book friends, welcome.

It will be one month in a few days. Thank you all for your love and support for this book.

I have a very bad habit when writing books, which is not having a clear outline.

I’m terrible at writing outlines.

Even if you decide on the general plot of each volume in one, two, or three chapters, or even one, two, or three volumes at the beginning, many deviations will occur unconsciously in the process of typing.

So when writing, all you have to do is decide on a main direction, then decide on some important plot points, and then find a way to make the plot flow reasonably to that point.

I have no idea what the ending will be or what kind of feedback the process will get.

Now the same is true of this book.

At the beginning, I probably started writing with this interesting idea in mind: "In a youth campus story with weirdness, An and Bei attracted weirdness because of the darkness in their hearts, and finally they suffered the consequences of their own actions."

After all, from the perspective of the Monogatari series, most of the weirdness is caused by one's own actions.

Including Oshino Ogi, who can barely be considered the last boss in the entire Monogatari series, is also a weird incarnation created by Araragi Koyomi's self-doubt.

However, when I was writing, I revisited the entire Monogatari series, so the story style is also shifting in the direction of reflecting the changes of the characters through weirdness in the Monogatari.

Of course, I didn’t forget my original purpose.

The dark-hearted Tomoya Aki and the nosy Haruki Kitahara.

It’s excellent food for weirdness (laughs).

So far, the two monsters that appeared in the first volume are both re-creations based on the original work's Kurogi Juuki and Nadeshiko Juju.

By the second volume, you will see more weird things designed with reference to the style of the story that are not in the original work.

Then, because the whole story is based on the Monogatari series as the background, I wrote it with the idea that the original story has ended and all the characters have new identities.

Therefore, the original plot mentioned in some places has been simplified and blurred as much as possible, and I hope that everyone will not find it too difficult to understand this aspect.

Of course, I would be very happy if everyone could become interested in the original work because of my little story.

After all, up to now, all the parts of the Monogatari series with Araragi Koyomi as the protagonist have been animated, so it is very fast to catch up (laughs).

Anyway, there will be more characters appearing in the second volume, including a "man-fuck emperor" at the bottom of the food chain (laughs).

Honestly, it’s a pity that there aren’t many Kaguya manga plots in the first volume. It just serves as a background setting, and the second volume will gradually have intersections.

After all, the male protagonist’s surname is Shijo (nods).

Please continue to pay attention to this book in the future.

And then, it would be even better if I could give some tips with the various tickets and blades in my hand (looking up to the sky).

So let’s continue with volume two.

PS: Merry Christmas to everyone.

?

I posted the last words too early before, and I deleted it because I was worried that everyone would think there was no update.

Did everyone go to the festival?

It feels like a stand-alone game.

Chapter 66 Character Card - Shigong Shizhu (This book's version)

Name: Shinomiya ishitake

Birthday: January 1 (twins with Kaguya Shinomiya)

A second-year student at the private Toyonosaki Academy, he attended the relevant departments of Shuchiin from elementary school to junior high school, but suddenly chose to continue his studies outside the university when he was in high school.

The young master of the Shinomiya Group, one of the four major conglomerates, and the youngest son of the current head of the family.

Like her sister, she is a versatile genius who can accomplish anything she wants to do at a high level.

It seems that there was a period of time when he was not in harmony with the family, but now he has restrained his temper and works under his eldest brother, although most of the time he only does some insignificant errands that require running around.

But he seemed to have other plans...

He has a lively and cheerful personality, and seems bright, outgoing and inattentive, but he is an excellent student with both literary and martial arts skills who is highly expected by teachers.

One of the two aces of the art club, and Eriri's only disciple in painting.

At the same time, he has extremely special feelings for Sawamura Spencer Eriri, but he has always been concerned about his identity and chooses to remain silent.

She is Eriri's most trusted friend and is considered her partner.

One of the few people who knows the true identity of the four Lians and accepts their existence.

He is also one of the few human friends accepted by Lian.

He is very thoughtful in dealing with people, which is different from his peers. Therefore, he has a very extensive network of interpersonal relationships in both Toyonosaki and Shuchiin.

Most of the time, he would help Lian spread some gossip, mainly about weird things.

By the way, he seems to have an excellent talent for cross-dressing, but no one is lucky enough to see it, so we can only guess a little from the appearance of his sister.

??

I won’t make a character card for Lian, because if I’m not careful I’ll end up revealing some spoilers.

The purpose of making the character card for Dianthus is to give some book friends who have not read the book a basic impression.

It will be available next week, please support the second volume of this book. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 67: Medicine, Poison or Water (1)

April 28th, the afternoon of the day before Golden Week.

After the school announced the holiday time, students of Private Toyosaki Academy left one after another.

Kasumigaoka Utaha mixed in the crowd and headed towards the tram station.

She held a ticket in her hand.

Those are tickets for Utsunomiya Ren's Golden Week concert.

I was originally planning to buy them myself, but a few days ago that person suddenly came with a small stack of them and distributed them to his acquaintances at school.

Shiyu naturally got one.

Although she was curious whether giving it away for free would result in a loss in ticket revenue, considering the other party's fame, if she didn't do this, the seats would probably be full and the tickets would become priceless.

Shiyu, who has never been to a formal classical music concert, is worried about what to wear. Should she buy a more formal outfit?

Thinking about these things, Shiyu carefully put away the ticket and checked again and again to make sure it would not fall.

Then she raised her head and looked forward. Under the stop sign in front of the crosswalk, an adult woman was looking at her without hesitation.

"Would you be so kind as to have a cup of coffee with me?"

He has a very young voice and looks to be around 27 or 28 years old - he dresses very young, too.

He wore a baseball cap sideways on his head, loose jeans and a T-shirt that was about XXL, and some jewelry such as necklaces and rings.

Shiyu couldn't help but think that it was a pity to lack a pair of sunglasses.

But then again, that guy gave himself a very nonchalant vibe.

Although Shiyu didn't know the other person, she didn't know why she was sure that the soft voice was directed at her and not at anyone else around her.

"Okay."

As if bewitched, Shiyu agreed.

"That's great. I've been waiting here for a while."

The adult woman smiled foolishly and said this, then led Shiyu away from the crosswalk and to the cafe next to it. After entering the store, sitting down and ordering, Shiyu realized that it was wrong for her to accept the invitation so rashly.

And it was a stranger, using a way that was almost like chatting up...

"that……"

"I'm Woyan Izuko, a big sister who knows everything."

As if she saw through Shiyu's doubts, the woman gave her name.

It's just that the description of "know-it-all" makes her sound a little too arrogant, yet inexplicably convincing.

Woyan...Lake Izu?

Shiyu was thinking about what words they were in her mind.

Then Woyan took out a piece of paper from the table, wrote down his name with a pen and showed it to Shiyu.

"It's a very poetic name." Shiyu smiled.

She thought the name looked familiar.

"No, no, Shiyu-chan is a good name too."

Without any warning, Woyan Izuko began to address Shiyu in a tone that only adults in a relative's family would use.

"You know me?"

"Didn't I just tell you that I know everything?" Woyan Izuko said leisurely, "But you don't seem to know me. Could it be that Xiao Lian didn't tell you anything? This is terrible. I obviously helped you to fight against the monsters, but she didn't tell you anything. The child is still as awkward as before."

"what……"

Shiyu finally remembered who the other person was.

A few days ago, when we were exterminating the snake at the abandoned shrine, the emerald-haired girl who appeared only after the matter was over mentioned the name "Miss Woyan".

At that time, she was sprayed with blood, and she was so busy caring about Lian's affairs that she unconsciously didn't take it to heart.

"It looks like you know who I am?"

"No, I don't know." Shiyu shook her head ashamedly.

She was just sure of the other party's origins.

Someone Lian knows, and is related to weird things.

And he seems to be very kind to Lian, calling her "Xiao Lian", which sounds like he is calling a child.

"Really? It's over there after all." Woyan Izuko said this, but he seemed to have expected it and didn't look surprised at all.

"Um, Miss Woyan——"

"Ah, come on, don't be so polite. We are not complete strangers." Miss Woyan spoke with a reassuring smile.

Shiyu was thinking, she and she had only known each other for no more than ten minutes, so how could they be very familiar with each other?

"That's not right. You may not know me, but I know you--I know you very well."

"..."

The answer was like reading the thoughts of Kasumigaoka Utaha, leaving her speechless for a moment.

Woyan Izu Lake really knows everything.

At this moment, her eyes swept across Miss Woyan's chest. Although she was wearing a loose T-shirt, she could still see that her chest was flat.

Oh... maybe you really don’t know how to enlarge your breasts?

"If your bust is too big, it will hinder your movements. Don't think you are great just because you are well developed. Big sister, if I want, I can always exchange with you."

“……” Shiyu covered her mouth to stop herself from thinking too much.

"Then you must be very confused now, right? Why would someone like me suddenly look for a high school girl? I don't think I have any bad intentions, do I?" Miss Woyan smiled happily.

"Strange... it's a little strange..."

"There's nothing strange about that. I know all too well that you were possessed by a crab." Woyan Izuko said with a smile, "You've finally regained your weight."

"Um……"
