She said she was no longer the useless person she used to be.

She's grown up!

She needs to grow up.

If I cry in front of my brother, wouldn't that just prove that I haven't changed at all?!

“…No, it’s nothing…” Horikita Suzune lowered her head, gripping her left arm tightly with her right hand. “I didn’t say anything.”

Silently watching his younger sister, Horikita Manabu didn't intend to press her for the name. Instead, he silently memorized it, deciding to investigate it further later. He said quietly, "...I heard you got into Class D."

How did it become like this?

Why is this happening?

He had intended to use the fact that Horikita Suzune had entered Class D to force her to drop out of school, but as he was about to speak, he remembered that today was only the second day of school.

Lingyin was still unaware of the class division rules and had not yet seen through the true nature of this school.

Even when it comes to his own sister, as the student council president, he is not allowed to reveal information on his own initiative.

"Class D... what happened?" Horikita Suzune, who knew nothing about it, raised her head.

"..." Horikita Manabu placed his hand on his throbbing temples and rubbed them gently a few times: "No, it's nothing."

"Since you have nothing to say, let's leave it at that."

“I also have student council work,” he said.

If I had known it would be like this, I should have let that guy stay.

...To be honest, I don't even know his name.

"Ah, then... I won't bother you any longer, brother." Horikita Suzune said softly, her head lowered and biting her lower lip.

"Hmm." Horikita Manabu turned around, and before leaving, he paused slightly. "Also, the reason for buying the voice recorder was simply to make him stop playing that recording."

“You have no reason to buy his voice recorder.”

After saying that, Horikita Manabu simply left.

Horikita Suzune stood there, stunned.

"Eh?"

Does that mean... I did something wrong?

Looking up at Horikita Manabu's departing figure, she reached into her pocket and took out the recording pen that Asakusa Toru had practically forced her to buy.

The light flickered on the screen with a ticking sound.

This voice recorder is currently recording.

"Click." Not caring why the voice recorder sold to her was recording, Horikita Suzune gently pressed the end recording button, then quickly searched for a moment and found the option to delete the recording.

It was probably just an accidental click; you can just delete it.

......well.

If only life could be like this, where you can erase your dark past.

She really wants to erase the past when she took the so-called trial seriously and asked her brother for answers.

She vowed that from now on, she would never trust anything she read in the diary!

The credibility of the diary writer has been completely erased from her mind!

......

Asakusa Tetsuya didn't care whether Horikita Suzune believed him or not.

He only knows one thing.

It became.

As mentioned before, the voice recorder in his hand is capable of copying recordings from a copy of the voice recorder.

Although there is a restriction that the copy needs to maintain a certain distance from the original and cannot steal other people's recordings indefinitely, in a sense this is also a kind of screening, so that a large number of junk recordings will not prevent him from accurately transcribing them.

Therefore, as long as he stays in this vicinity, he will definitely be able to accurately copy the recordings made by the only voice recorder sold to Horikita Suzune.

The only problem is the risk of exposure.

His actions were actually quite flamboyant, so it's not impossible to guess who it was based on his activity level.

However, Asakusa Tetsu showed no intention of backing down.

He even gave himself the nickname "Recording Pen Guy." Isn't it normal for him to do some extraordinary things?

There are so many highly developed geniuses, one more or one less won't make a difference.

Even if Horikita Suzune discovers the recorder is recording...

Without knowing the quality of the voice recorder, who would have thought that such a simple voice recorder could be used for sharing recordings?

Even after she disassembled the recorder, she couldn't find any clues. From any perspective, the copy of the Infinite Recorder was just an ordinary recorder.

Without a network chip, it cannot upload data to the cloud.

Even though her intuition was at its peak, she noticed the recording was on, and a sliver of doubt arose in her heart. She turned off the recording beforehand, but Asakusa Tetsu didn't care.

The voice recorder was just the most convenient means; even if it wasn't used, he could still glean some information from Horikita Manabu.

The existence of the diary cannot be revealed to others. If Horikita Suzune is indeed the reader of the diary, all she can tell Horikita Manabu is about the 'trial' and the 'pseudo-human'.

All she could do was try to confirm the answers to the trials with Horikita Manabu, hoping to gain her brother's approval through this.

So, although it may seem like there is some risk involved, it is nothing compared to the potential gains.

The screen of the voice recorder in his hand clearly displayed the recently saved recording. Asakusa Toru swiped his fingertips, lowered the volume of the voice recorder, adjusted it to a level that could only be heard clearly at close range, and then tapped to replay.

"I have found the answer to the trial."

"Yes, Haruki Yamauchi, right?"

Horikita Suzune's cold voice echoed in my ears.

"win!"

He won the bet.

The first reader whose identity was discovered was Horikita Suzune.

Chapter 31 Asakusa Toru Doesn't Want to Bite the Lighter

The filter shattered with a snap. If Asakusa Tetsu had found Horikita Suzune's figure at this moment, he would probably have seen a diary following behind her with a snapping sound, aiming at every moment when her hand would want to open the diary, and then leaping into her hand with a bouncy start.

Just kidding, a diary isn't that lowbrow.

Even if you actually looked at it, you'd probably only see the diary suddenly appear next to her in the blink of an eye.

Regardless of the pattern of the diary's updates, back to Asakusa Tetsu, he's in an exceptionally good mood right now.

Finding a reader for your diary on the second day of school is a huge win.

I have to say, Horikita Suzune is quite an interesting person. Although she's a bit too innocent, that's precisely what makes her so great!

He won't play if it's not pure.

It's more fun to play with people like that. Just look at yesterday's diary; he managed to get a white gym membership card just by teasing her. Although the plot also played a role, Asakusa Tetsu felt that Horikita Suzune's emotional fluctuations were also crucial.

However, he didn't plan to continue taking advantage of Horikita Suzune today.

It's a bit much to keep taking advantage of the same person. Fluctuations in emotions need time to process, and repeatedly taking advantage of the same person will reduce efficiency.

"Hehehehehe~"

Toru Asakusa tossed the recorder up and down in his hand, not in a hurry to go back to his dorm to write in his diary.

Although he admitted that his hands were really itching to continue writing in his diary at noon, after Horikita Suzune put on such a good show for him, he was no longer in such a hurry.

...Actually, it's because he just glanced at today's diary plot index.

'C'.

That's too low.

To be honest, I'm a little disgusted.

Even though Asakusa Tetsu knew that the plot index couldn't stay high forever, the rate of devaluation was just too fast.

...Is it because there weren't any key plot points today?

I disagree. How is the club briefing not considered a key plot point?

Although I personally found it rather uninteresting, you can actually consider it a key plot point!

I wouldn't mind if the index was a little higher!

Although the difference between B and C is not much, the gap between them always feels much larger than that between A and B.

but......

"The day before school starts is not as good as the day before school starts, and the second day of school starts is not as good as the day before school starts..."

The diary clearly has its own set of judgments regarding whether a day's events are crucial or not.

Although the current sample size is small, let's make some bold guesses and hypotheses...

Perhaps the 'C' he currently disdains will be the last peak of the month.

The reason is simple.

Nothing really happened during the first month of advanced training!

After briefly reviewing the plot in his mind, Asakusa Tetsu suddenly realized this fact.

After all, high school lasts for three whole years. If something happens every day, high school life would be too exciting.

Apart from special exams and holidays, students actually spend the vast majority of their time in class.

Simply attending classes is really boring, let alone having any plot developments.

...Won't the plot index be lower than C later on?

Asakusa Tetsu suddenly had a bad feeling.

No, no, no, that can't be, right?

Believe, believe first, then believe again, and finally believe.

Belief needs no reason!

Having calmed down a bit, Asakusa Toru first went to the cafeteria to replenish his energy in preparation for entering the white gym later.

Then he leisurely returned to his dormitory and took out his diary.

In short, first think about what you want to write.

He ordered Kushida the day before yesterday and Horikita yesterday, and casually mentioned the dishes. Logically speaking, he could just randomly pick one of the dishes he mentioned today to get through today's diary entry.

After all, a C-level plot index is indeed hard to get excited about.

However, considering that the plot index may not improve much for a long time to come, he may need to weigh the pros and cons.

A diary needs to be kept every day. Ultimately, the plot index is only one of the factors that affect the score. If you don't put effort into keeping a diary just because the plot index is too low, you will definitely miss out on many rewards that you should have been able to get.

However, this is not absolute.

After all, while it's true that you can write anything in a diary, there's a limit to the amount of content that can simultaneously satisfy the criteria of being 'interesting,' 'spoilers,' and 'emotionally charged.'

There's only so much work to do; once that's done, there won't be any more.

Asakusa Tetsu didn't want to bite the lighter.

Therefore, he needs to confirm one thing.

Is the plot-driven aspect a bonus, or a necessity?

Or perhaps it's a super-double?

After pondering for a long time, Asakusa Toru picked up his pen and wrote down today's diary entry.

Good morning, highly developed new students! Today is another beautiful day.

Well, it might not be so wonderful.
