Real teaching, but diary flow

Asakusa Tetsu willingly became the outlet for his emotions at that moment.

...No, calling it an outlet for venting doesn't quite fit either.

Although at first he cursed Mr. Natsuki's missing son for being a simp, the more he talked, the more logical the contents of the 'Simp Diary' seemed to become.

It was like telling a story, like recounting a vivid account of a journey through another world to Mr. Natsuki.

The more I listened, the more it seemed as if someone had really been taken to another world.

...Of course she knew that such a thing was impossible.

But what if, what if Mr. Natsuki's son really can't be found, and can't be found again?

Even if it's just a story like this, if it can make him accept it...

“‘You should take off your shoes when you enter a house, but when you enter someone’s heart, you should step in with your shoes on without any hesitation.’ That’s the Natsuki family tradition.”

This sentence was like pouring a bucket of ice-cold water over Mr. Natsuki's head.

The noisy cursing suddenly stopped, and Asakusa Tetsuya also shut up abruptly, leaving only Ichinose Honami bowing and saying "I'm sorry" echoing in the corridor.

Just then, the brown-haired woman returned.

It's Lady Natsuki.

"—Ah Xian, I heard that someone came to our house and caused trouble. I've already called the police, and they'll be here soon!" She appeared with these words.

At this point, Honami Ichinose let out a silvery laugh:

"I really didn't expect Mrs. Natsuki to choose to call the police. When I heard that the police were coming, I was extremely nervous."

"I almost wanted to grab Asakusa-kun's hand and run away."

"Fortunately, although the police came later, Mr. Natsuki did not choose to pursue the matter. Although my mother and sister were worried about me for a while because I didn't come home that day, it's okay since everything turned out well."

No matter how you look at it, shouting through a megaphone in front of someone else's house is really going too far. Even if the police take him away, there's nothing he can do to complain.

“When we were at the police station, Mr. Natsuki asked Asakusa-kun why he did that, right?” she said. “What Asakusa-kun said back then was the same as today.”

'Just pure self-satisfaction'

I did it because I wanted to.

As for how you interpret it, that's up to you.

Toru Asakusa: "......"

...You remember it so clearly.

"I am very grateful to Asakusa-kun, and I also admire Asakusa-kun for being able to do what he wants to do so freely."

"I wish I could be like Asakusa-kun." Honami Ichinose tossed a strand of her hair and twirled it around her fingertip. "I can't help but think that way."

Unfortunately, she and Asakusa Tetsu are ultimately different.

She probably could never do what Toru Asakusa was capable of.

Therefore, aspirations will remain just that—aspirations.

All Ichinose Honami can become is Ichinose Honami.

"To me, Asakusa-kun is actually surprisingly important, isn't he?"

That's why she was so disappointed when she learned that he might have given up on enrolling.

That's why her heart skipped a beat when she saw him standing with the class teacher of Class C.

Fortunately, he did not give up on enrolling in school, nor did he forget himself.

“This is just me talking to myself,” she said. “But if I could, I would like you to see a version of myself that is different from the one I’ve seen in the past.”

Honami Ichinose didn't know if this counted as growth, nor did she know if she had actually grown at all.

But if possible, she wanted Asakusa Tetsu to see the changes in her.

The one who feels lost is my past self.

Her new high school life needs a witness.

"..." Although Ichinose Honami said a lot, to be honest, Asakusa Tetsu's feelings were quite complicated.

This wasn't the first time he'd been approached; after all, given how many things he'd done on a whim, it was impossible for him not to have his box opened.

Sometimes he's a beautiful young girl, sometimes a boy, sometimes an old man, and sometimes a thug.

However, it is quite rare to find someone like Honami Ichinose who has grasped the essence of his teachings and then talks about it on his own.

Ugh, this is so troublesome.

Maybe we should transfer to another class.

...Just kidding.

It would be much better to use those 20 million as a resurrection item; transferring classes is such a waste.

Moreover, although Ichinose actually has the potential to turn into a yandere, she is actually quite normal at least for now.

But, witnessing something...

"Since things have come to this, let's eat first," he said quietly.

Anyway, Ichinose stated from the beginning that this was just her talking to herself.

If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if he pretended not to hear anything, right?

"..."

My hands are itching! How come only half the day has passed, and I'm already thinking about writing in my diary to try and win a reward?

Chapter 26 is correct; the imposter is definitely among them.

After lunch break, the afternoon classes weren't too long, and soon it was time to leave school at five o'clock.

"A club information session will be held this afternoon at 5 PM in the First Gymnasium. Students interested in clubs, please assemble in the First Gymnasium. To reiterate: Today—"

The radio broadcast, which had been aired once during lunch break, was being played again, with a cute female voice repeating the promotional message.

Club information session.

In short, it's the time for various student clubs on campus to recruit new members.

They use all sorts of methods to lure new students in through advertising, and then they rank them by seniority.

To be honest, Asakusa Tetsu found it quite boring.

The only one that's somewhat relevant is the student council.

Even within a highly developed system, the student council still wields some real power.

Whether it's rulings on conflicts between students or suggestions for subsequent special exams, the school generally takes the student council's opinions into account.

It's worth mentioning that the current student council president is none other than the "low-budget Yukino" he wrote about in his diary last night, Horikita Suzune's older brother, Horikita Manabu from Class 3-A.

"But, the student council..." Although she knew that the two were not the same, Asakusa Toru remembered the answer she had seen online before whenever the student council was mentioned.

Question: What are the consequences of offending the student union in university?

"Answer: It's like the mathematics world is missing Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike. You might not know who Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike are; they're like flawed products in Class D of Grade 1, about to score below half the class average on their quiz in a few days."

University student councils are indeed quite different from highly educated student councils, but Asakusa Tetsuya finds it difficult to have any respect for student councils.

"...Never mind, I'm not going." Shaking his head, Asakusa Toru turned decisively towards the dormitory.

He needs to go back and write in his diary in advance.

The diary did not stipulate that he could only write in it at night. The first time he wrote in it at night was because he had been figuring out the rules of the diary for a while and before he knew it, it was night. The second time he wrote in it at night was purely because he did it on purpose. He deliberately waited until that time was right before he started writing so that some people would not be able to sleep after reading the diary.

It refers to Horikita Suzune.

Although he couldn't be sure whether Horikita Suzune was the owner of the copy of the diary, if she was, she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep well.

Logically, he should have attended the club's information session.

Even without joining any club, you can still observe Horikita Suzune's reactions up close.

If she was the reader of the diary and saw what he wrote, then she might actually go looking for that fake person.

It's not impossible that she might go up and inexplicably give her brother the name of someone she thinks is fake.

...Yes, let's go to the scene!

With this understanding, Asakusa Tetsu's thoughts became clear.

Isn't this the perfect time to confirm whether Horikita Suzune is a reader?

Suppressing his desire to write in his diary for the day, Asakusa Toru turned and walked towards the gymnasium.

......

Horikita Suzune observed the class for a day, and the more she observed, the more convinced she became that her judgment was accurate.

That's right, the imposter must be among them.

"Hey, Haruki, don't you feel like Horikita keeps looking this way?" Even though school was over, Kanji Ike didn't rush off. Instead, he hung out with his good friends Haruki Yamauchi and Ken Sudo.

They were called good friends, but it was only because no one else took the initiative to talk to them that they unknowingly came together.

It feels like an unpopular group.

But it is precisely these people who have repeatedly attracted Horikita Suzune's attention today!

"Well, could it be...?"

"...No way?"

"You never know?"

"No, no, I wouldn't be interested in that kind of woman. She may be pretty, but I always feel like her personality is terrible."

"Just tell me, if she confesses her feelings to you, would you accept her or not?!"

"That's definitely something I'll have to accept reluctantly, hehehe..."

Yamauchi and Ike chuckled slyly, while Sudo Ken, utterly bored, stood up.

“I’m leaving,” he said.

"Where are you going?" Chi asked, looking up.

"Isn't the gymnasium supposed to be hosting a club information session? I'm planning to join the basketball club."

"Wow, the basketball club, yeah, with your build, Sudo, you'll definitely be popular if you join the club." Ike Kanji imagined it on his own, and then sighed, "Pretty girls will definitely come up to you and ask you out, that's great."

"Stop talking nonsense, are you going or not?"

"Go, go, just go!"

The trio disappeared from the classroom, and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's voice came from beside Horikita Suzune.

"So what they're saying is true? Horikita, who are you interested in?" he asked in a very calm voice.

Horikita Suzune said irritably, "You should know that's impossible, right?"

She could understand why a fake person would make a wrong judgment simply because of her observations of actions, but why would Ayanokouji have such thoughts?

"Eh, is that impossible?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka seemed a little surprised, but not that surprised.

“Impossible.” Horikita Suzune shook her head and stood up.

Seeing her get up, Ayanokouji asked again, "Are you planning to go to the gymnasium?"

“I’m not interested in clubs,” she said.

"Aren't you going to join a club?" he asked again.

Horikita Suzune took a deep breath and said:

"...I think I've already said that I'm no longer interested in clubs."

"Even if you're not interested, it doesn't mean you won't join a club, right?" Kiyotaka Ayanokouji seemed determined to get a definite answer from her.

"Talking to you is a waste of time." Giving up on trying to reason with this guy, Horikita Suzune walked straight out of the classroom.

After a day of observation, she had gained a certain understanding of the trio.

Sudo, whose crudeness and violence give off a bad vibe, can probably be ruled out as a fake. Although he initially gives the impression of being difficult to get along with, such people do exist. The key is that he has a clear hobby, which is basketball. He seems to have had experience playing basketball in junior high school. His performance and resume are consistent, with clear traces of his past.
