Real teaching, but diary flow

"Um, coffee, thank you so much, I... I'll be going now!"

Suddenly standing up, she bowed deeply, and in a panic, Wang Meiyu began to run away.

"...So you're gay?" Kamuro Masumi suddenly blurted out.

Watching Wang Meiyu's frantic, aimless wandering, even nearly bumping into other students several times, Sakayanagi Arisu gripped her cane tightly and said through gritted teeth:

"No! It is!"

Her sexual orientation is perfectly normal!

Damn it, damn it all! If that's the case, isn't she just presumptuously confirming the answer and then presumptuously declaring victory, becoming a laughingstock in the eyes of the other side for a whole month?!

Besides, in other people's eyes, isn't she just a lesbian who inexplicably approached someone and planned to confess her feelings?!

"Clatter—" Just as Sakayanagi Arisu was so annoyed that her chest felt a little uncomfortable, the sound of pages turning suddenly came from the side.

Almost immediately, Arisu Sakayanagi realized what had happened.

The diary has been updated.

"..." Silent and expressionless, with a deadpan expression, Sakayanagi Arisu turned away, no longer looking at Wang Meiyu who was gradually disappearing into the distance, and instead silently reached out her hand to Kamuro Masumi.

The meaning is clear: help her up.

Kamuro Masumi could clearly sense that Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to be getting a little angry and had no intention of teasing her any further. Kamuro Masumi promptly got up and helped her little princess back to her original seat.

Wang Meiyu's coffee was barely touched, and Sakayanagi Arisu's coffee was also barely touched. The only coffee that was drunk down to more than half its size was Kamuro Masumi's coffee, which she had just ordered not long ago.

Turning her head, she saw that Sakayanagi Arisu had no intention of continuing to drink coffee after sitting down again, and was just silently sulking. Kamuro Masumi took another sip of coffee and pouted, "It's pretty good, what a waste."

"..."

Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't sulking.

When she noticed some discomfort in her chest, she simply closed her eyes and calmed herself down.

As a delicate girl with a few congenital physical defects, she is well aware of how much damage emotions can do to the body, and most of the time she is able to control her emotions well.

I just lost control for a little while.

The reason why Kamuro Masumi thought she was angry was simply because she had opened her diary.

The diary entries were still being updated bit by bit, and the other person was currently wielding the pen and ink, writing down unrestrained words.

Sakayanagi Arisu had already anticipated today's diary entry.

Since he had identified himself incorrectly, the other party would definitely seize this weakness and press their advantage.

So, although she opened the diary, she didn't rush to read it. Instead, she closed her eyes and sorted out her thoughts.

Let's get back to yesterday's diary.

Yesterday marked the thirty-first day since the diary was created, and also the last day of the behavior code exam.

She didn't go into detail about the contents of the diary, but it was mostly just those provocative words.

The important point is the 'comments' function that was enabled later, and the words she left that were marked with a lot of random and nonsensical words.

This is the real reason why she sought out Wang Meiyu again today.

At first, she thought that Wang Meiyu, who hadn't done anything for a month... no, she should say that the person behind the diary had given up. In fact, the other party had clearly written the words 'surrender' in the diary, which was why she hadn't done anything.

But it turned out that the other party wasn't trying to surrender at all; he was just choosing to endure it because Class D was facing a midnight finale.

Those incredibly arrogant words are proof, and those blatant red marks left on her messages are a provocation.

...That's damn good.

She had only left a question mark, but it was covered by a bunch of random things in bright red text.

It was absolutely intentional, a complete demonstration against her, a trampling of her dignity.

What she found even more unbearable was not just this.

Adding annotations is fine, but the text colors are clearly different, and I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to actually believe that the added text was written by her.

What she couldn't stand was the fluctuating numbers next to her own message displayed in the comments section.

'Number of Likes'

Sakayanagi Arisu knows this thing.

A clenched fist, a thumbs-up raised high, and a bright thumbs-up symbol.

The number displayed above this symbol is '7'.

She no longer doubted the meaning of the number above, because it was clearly not something that could be arbitrarily altered by the recorder.

In other words, there are at least 7 people who could see the diary and comments, make up rumors based on the diary, and possibly believe them to be true.

It couldn't be worse.

Chapter 65 Kaguya Shinomiya is troubled

Shinomiya Kaguya.

The eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Group, the well-known ice queen of Shuchiin, consistently ranks first in academics and excels in sports, making her the ideal woman in almost everyone's eyes.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any troubles in front of such a young lady.

But in fact, she has been very irritable for the past month.

"...and then he doesn't write it."

The reason lies in the diary she is currently holding.

A month ago, a diary appeared out of nowhere, invisible to others, and stuck to me like a leech.

Getting up, eating, going to class, commuting—no matter when, as soon as she reaches out her hand, a diary will inexplicably appear in her grasp.

At first, she thought she was just sick, which was why she was having these hallucinations.

But after several attempts, she realized that it was not a hallucination, but some kind of incomprehensible supernatural phenomenon.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to open the diary.

Then, she saw the above... 'nonsense'?

The nonsensical ramblings seemed to be a message addressed to fellow students, and the recipients of the message implicitly acknowledged... a highly developed individual?

Kaguya Shinomiya was certainly aware of Advanced Education; as a school used to train materials for those in power, it had a certain reputation among them.

But it is clear that no truly powerful person would actually go to school with those who are destined to only become their subordinates.

...Unless it's like the Koenji Group, which aims to forge a closer relationship between the politicians represented by Koenji and their own conglomerates.

Otherwise, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't think of any reason why students like them would choose Advanced Nurturing Education over Shuchiin Academy.

Everyone can tell which is more important: optional 'privileges' or ubiquitous 'connections'.

At least among the large families she knew, almost none would send their heir to that high school.

Although the matter of advanced cultivation had nothing to do with her, Kaguya Shinomiya, out of a bit of curiosity and a basic sense of awe for supernatural abilities, she still tried to carefully read through several days' worth of diaries.

The diary's contents were mostly related to people in advanced training programs. To be honest, it was hard for her to understand what was written there unless she was there in person. In particular, besides seemingly targeting and exposing the dark history of certain people, the diary also contained a lot of strange and incomprehensible words.

After reading the diary for three consecutive days, and without observing any other special reactions besides the diary, the diary could not be damaged, and reading the contents of the diary did not affect her mind or body. Kaguya Shinomiya did not feel that she had gained any special power.

She had assumed that the diary truly existed only as described, to expose something to the recorder.

She saw the diary entry for the fourth day.

I still can't forget Lady Shinomiya's words, "I want to be a photographer."

...?

Who?

Miss Shinomiya, Miss Shinomiya...

Isn't it just me?!

As everyone knows, the head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kan'an, has three sons, but only one can be called 'Young Lady'.

That was Kaguya Shinomiya.

Kaguya Shinomiya never imagined that her diary, which was far away in Advanced Education, would suddenly mention her, let alone contain content that would pique her curiosity.

'Photographer'... what the heck is that?

She couldn't help but want to shout, couldn't help but want to question.

But the diary gave her no response.

This was something she had already confirmed.

The only feedback the diary could provide was the cold sound of reading points increasing by one that echoed in my ears after I finished reading it each day.

She couldn't satisfy her curiosity.

Normally, the simplest and most direct way to satisfy curiosity is to rush into the advanced training area, find the owner of the diary, and then grab him and question him.

Whether the owner of the diary was truly a first-year student in the advanced training program is another matter; the key point is...

She can't.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family,

She has no real power.

Like a carefully packaged super doll, pampered in every way, but it's just pampering.

Although she didn't seem to think much of advanced development, she unfortunately had no way to get involved in it.

All she could do was send out the only person she had at her disposal, the super maid Hayasaka Ai.

"Young lady, you don't really expect me to do anything, do you? I'm a maid, not Doraemon." Although she said this with a blank expression, Hayasaka Ai still brought her a list of students who enrolled in Advanced Education this year.

She knew Hayasaka Ai could do it!

She wasn't counting on invading and developing advanced techniques. If Hayasaka Ai were to go through all that trouble to find someone who hadn't left any clues, it wouldn't be a mission, it would be a punishment game.

But once she got the list, she was confident that with her intelligence she would be able to find out the other party's true identity from the clues that might be revealed in the diary later!

That's right, she's going to join the hide-and-seek game that the other person declared on the first day!

As an off-site spectator.

Kaguya Shinomiya's fighting spirit was ignited.

On the first day, Kaguya Shinomiya was full of momentum; on the second day, she showed signs of weakness; and on the third day, her brain went blank.

Ever since the person mentioned themselves on the 3rd and said they needed some time to calm down, they seemed to have suddenly calmed down and started writing a perfunctory diary without any information.

For more than ten days in a row, it was either nothing to do today, or I wanted to touch my leg, or I talked about stupid things like what to eat tomorrow morning, or whether or not to have a midnight snack.

The text no longer has the same domineering and powerful feel as when the war was first declared.

...There's no way anyone could find out the other person's identity using such a small clue.

The more Kaguya Shinomiya read through the diary, the more she realized that finding out the other person's identity was no longer an option.

So she changed her strategy.

As a member of the Shinomiya family, she shouldn't waste too much energy on meaningless things.

Rather than waiting for the other person to slip up, it's better to hope that they suddenly have a brain fart and start writing down the whole story of "I want to be a photographer" as if they're under her control.

And so, today, Kaguya Shinomiya is also eagerly awaiting the diary entries she will write down.

Oh no.

She was bothered by something else.

"Why! Why can't I leave a message?!"

Chapter 66 The Girl Sees Herself in the Mirror

Since receiving this diary, our Lady Shinomiya has not missed a single entry, nor has she missed a single reading point.
