I don't keep a diary, I only spoil life.

Fortunately, the system provided appropriate feedback: [Alyssa Kujo has a slight understanding of what kind of woman is likable. Seeing that you lied repeatedly, she took the initiative to change the subject. Shyness value +500]

Li Yinguang found it very difficult to break down, so he firmly shook his head at Alyssa's somewhat disappointed gaze: "I'm sorry, Alyssa."

"..." Alyssa obviously guessed the answer, and instead of being unreasonable and acting coquettish, she simply said softly, "But you weren't happy there."

It was quite obvious that Alyssa regarded the little bit of genuine emotion that Li Yinguang had painstakingly cultivated as a lie.

It can only be described as extremely humiliating, that a bad person only needs to do one bad thing to make people immediately remember his good deeds;

Li Yinguang had done countless good deeds throughout his life, but because he liked to tell little lies, his childhood sweetheart forgot his sincerity and kindness.

The value of Masamune's famous quote from the protagonist of "Mayoiga" is still soaring: Why can't you believe that a person who lies all the time will tell the truth?

Guang Ge was bitter inside, but this development seemed quite natural.

Although Li Yinguang viewed this as just a friendly gathering, since he didn't think time could easily erode the bond between childhood sweethearts, Alyssa, who was sitting opposite him, didn't think so.

—Have I already been judged as a stupid, violent maniac with absolutely no feminine strength?

Feeling anxious as she fidgeted with her spoon, Elisa Kujo was filled with a sense of crisis. After making a series of clumsy moves, she increasingly felt that she had been behaving too immaturely during this reunion.

With her diary by her side, she had many questions she wanted to ask Li Yinguang;

For example, did he avoid that weirdo after answering the phone? Was he bullied during the year or so of advanced training? Did those smart but unruly girls from advanced training completely manipulate him?

Unfortunately, the smarter a person is, the more concerns they have.

Elisa Kujo never dared to mention it because she was afraid that the more she brought it up, the more she would be questioned about how she learned about Gao Yu's internal affairs, since the source of this information was not legitimate.

But once the conversation reached this point, she couldn't care less about anything else.

As Alyssa mentioned it, Maria thought it over and over again and felt that she had to help her sister clarify the truth. She didn't want Alyssa, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, to leave people with the impression of being selfish.

“Ah Guang, Alyssa said that you’ve been eating the best food and being bullied at Advanced Incubation, and there are even bad guys with ulterior motives who want to use you against others.”

Although Marcia wasn't the holder, Alyssa had told her about Li Yinguang's life on campus. Even though she was curious about Alyssa's source of information, the two sisters still had to work together to solve the problem.

But what are the chances of this request succeeding?

It should be zero percent, right?

Ah-Guang's school life was probably not so bad.

But that's not a bad thing.

At least the conversation started, and they were able to learn about only a small part of Li Yinguang's campus life.

"I am the man destined to become the King of Gaoyu. This time, I was even assigned by the school to participate in the joint competition at the end of the semester in two months. The reason I was able to leave Gaoyu this time is because I shoulder the heavy responsibility of making Gaoyu great again. The school has given me the green light all the way."

really--

When questioned, the man opposite him dropped his nonchalant attitude and revealed the real reason for leaving school.

“However, the reason I immediately sought you out as soon as I left school wasn’t just for this matter, but before that… Alyssa, here’s your backpack back.”

As he said this, Li Yinguang suddenly handed the schoolbag that had appeared in his hand at some point to the girl next to him who looked surprised.

The source of this surprise is traceable.

"..." She looked at the desk next to the dining car with surprise, where only a schoolbag stood forlornly.

But Marcia clearly remembers that after she entered the private room, she placed both of her backpacks on the stool next to her.

huh?

it's wired.

How is this going?

Did I remember it wrong?

Just as Maria was wondering if she had become clumsy, she heard Elisa's voice in her ear.

"My schoolbag?"

"That's right, I just received it a few seconds ago."

"But... how did you do that?"

This time, it was Marcia's turn to look puzzled.

Alyssa's expression was reflected in her eyes.

Maria was utterly puzzled when her younger sister stared at thin air with a panicked expression, looking like an ordinary person who had encountered a supernatural event.

"Ellie, Hikaru, what's going on?" It's hurtful to feel excluded, at least for Maria, who is eager to take care of her younger siblings.

Unfortunately, the current situation is that she will inevitably have a hard time understanding the current situation this time.

Having come across the events described in the diary, Alyssa also possesses extraordinary Ripple abilities.

Although she didn't master the Ripple technique to its fullest extent like Junko Enoshima.

Even though her skill level was only at a beginner level, she could still see some unclean things.

Just now—

A malevolent spirit emanating black smoke swaggered through the streets.

And now-

She suddenly noticed a golden outline appearing on Li Yinguang's back.

Even though the features were blurry and unclear, the eerie and chilling aura emanating from them was undeniable.

When she looked at Li Yinguang again, her heart was pounding in her chest, clearly filled with unease about the topic that was about to be exposed.

All of this confirms that Li Yinguang is a mysterious figure.

Is Li Yinguang really connected to that so-called mysterious person A, as revealed in today's diary?

Or perhaps... there are other possibilities?

"You weren't joking when you said that earlier?"

"of course not."

Listening to Alyssa's incessant, bubbling intelligence reports, Li Yinguang's smile vanished. He contemplated the most tragic things in the world before forcing a bitter, resentful expression:

“Listen to me, Alyssa/Marsha, your understanding of me is incomplete. I came here from advanced breeding to tell you my true self, because... we are family.”

family....

Extremely intimate terms.

For a moment, both Marcia and Elisa were stunned.

Even Alyssa, who had just looked embarrassed, suddenly snapped out of it, her wandering eyes brightening again, and a variety of positive emotions, such as shyness, anticipation, and nervousness, began to bubble up.

Now only Marcia is left out of the mess.

Glancing at the serious-looking Alyssa and Li Yinguang, who clearly knew something about the supernatural, the gentle and kind older sister-type girl asked softly:

"Um... what kind of mysterious thing do A-Guang and Alyssa know?"

She naturally recovered from her initial shock and, from the perspective of an unsuspecting person and also from the perspective of a 'family member,' gently cut the steak and placed it on Li Yinguang and Alyssa's plates.

"Well..."

Looking at the atmosphere that had finally been created;

Li Yinguang knew his little trick was very effective;

With a sweet smile, he spoke freely, and his fluent prepared statement once again came out: "I'm not joking with you this time."

"In these short yet blissful human years, I gradually became aware of the limits of life and my mission. Two thousand years of inherited memories have convinced me that my magnificent life is destined to be a bloody battle with the Ripple Clan."

"The reason I specifically chose this time to meet with you is because... Alyssa, just like you said in your call with me, a very dangerous person came to me, and... made me doubt whether I am still qualified to continue to be connected with the past."

The next exchange lasted for about fifteen minutes.

The content is based entirely on information previously exchanged with Junko Enoshima, supplemented and expanded upon.

I hope Joseph Joestar won't mind, because in the story told by Lee Eun-kwang, the Pillars are still portrayed as evil villains, but the Ripple Messenger is depicted as someone who can easily defeat the Pillars.

In that eloquent story;

The Pillar People are a group of evil monsters who were originally extinct, but a little over a year ago, a mysterious boy named Li Yinguang, whose parents are unknown, suddenly reverted to his ancestral form and awakened the memories of the Pillar People.

The cruel experiments people conducted in pursuit of the sun kept echoing in his mind, as well as the dark side that was suddenly revealed when he faced the crisis of being targeted by Junko Enoshima.

Li Yinguang's magnetic voice made the bewildered Kujo sisters seem to see vivid images before their eyes.

What are the inherited memories, what are the magnificent lives, and what is the Ripple clan that came from nowhere?

It sounds like a lie.

Ellie was alright, but Marcia was completely confused.

Seeing that Maria still didn't quite understand, Alyssa pursed her lips and stretched out her arm to transfer the 'Ripple Energy' to her.

Although it can only maintain the effect of seeing ghosts for a short time, it is enough for her, who is still living a peaceful daily life, to take a look at the so-called 'reality'.

As expected, upon seeing the stand-in behind Li Yinguang, even with her gentle and quiet nature, Kujo Maria couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes in surprise.

"This is?"

"Stand, the power I awakened a year ago on the eve of entering advanced training, is one of the means by which we Pillars resist Ripple. The fact that I was able to get the bag without you noticing is also due to its existence."

Although it's a fabricated story, basic respect for the Ripple users is still necessary. Li Yinguang didn't portray Ripple as an evil technique, but instead threw mud at the Pillars. I doubt Kars would mind.

"So, in other words, A-Guang, who was adopted by his uncle and aunt, suddenly awakened his memories as a Pillar before entering advanced training, but he was worried that he would eventually become an evil being... Is that right?"

While it's difficult to understand the mystical and supernatural topics, Maria Kujo is quite adept at tracing the ins and outs of the stories.

“You’re right, Marcia.”

Li Yinguang did not shy away from this reasonable speculation; instead, he showed a sorrowful expression.

"The reason I suddenly wanted to meet you is because I was worried that the memories of the Pillars would one day turn me into a different person. Before meeting that girl who called herself Enoshima Junko and inexplicably said she wanted to submit to me today... I never even thought that I would have such an evil side."

Is making people constantly go up and down stairs considered evil? Let's just say it is.

Then, the man gazed at the uneasy Alyssa with a very complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and said—

"I don't know why, but I smell the same aura of the Ripple user on you, Ellie. Does that mean... you've become my enemy?"

This was a reasonable guess, but it elicited a very immediate response—

"I'm not!"

Being stared at with such sharp eyes by her childhood friend might have hurt the girl's sensitive and fragile heart.

This time, Kujou Elisa's answer was firm and resolute. For the first time, she exuded displeasure, her serious gaze blazing with anger. Clearly, she did not accept the strange turn of events, where she was inexplicably labeled with a accusation.

Ultimately, she was one of the people who cared least about the diary rewards. The reason she kept participating in the lottery and sending bullet comments was that she wanted to meet and chat with Li Yinguang.

Nowadays;

This wish has been fulfilled.

She had no idea what a Ripple Messenger was.

She didn't care about the identity of the mysterious person A!

Everything that Kujo Alyssa longed for and desired, she already had in her grasp.

Now we know that Li Yinguang did not hide as he had instructed in the afternoon, which led to the attack;

Recalling the anxiety she felt that afternoon, skipping class and sitting in the toilet stall constantly calling Li Yinguang, Alyssa Kujo blurted out a sentence in Russian:

"You idiot, you big idiot! Can't you rely on me even a little bit? You bad thing."

But after this angry rebuke.

Alyssa felt lost again.

She thought she had figured out why Li Yinguang had rushed to Zhengling to find them. It was because this usually cheerful fool had encountered a terrible situation that could be described as a life-changing event... something about inheriting memories. Why was it Li Yinguang who had to suffer this?

Even this idiot is afraid of this change... How can she make Li Yinguang confident again?

Just as Alyssa was filled with inner turmoil.

In the afterimage, I saw the figure opposite me stand up first.

Alyssa was stunned, turning her head to gaze at Maria... Only then did she realize that the expectant smile from just moments before had vanished, replaced by an expression devoid of all emotion. Maria's large, brown eyes were wide open, simply blinking as she stared down.
