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

Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn't surprised, after all, everyone's time was precious.

She herself wouldn't have wasted this time to come and support this event if she hadn't lacked inspiration.

But will other holders come next?

Senior Yang said she would arrive shortly, while Kyoko Kirigiri claimed she had official business to attend to and would try her best to come.

The details of the other holders' choices are still unknown.

The only thing worth investigating and speculating about is—

"Do you think it's possible that Mysterious Person A is actually secretly observing us from inside this venue?"

After a moment of hesitation, Kasumigaoka Utaha posed the question, and the atmosphere immediately became somewhat heavy.

This kind of thing....

That's actually quite possible!

Chapter 104. Diary Update at the Concert

The decision to have all the holders attend the Ring joint gathering was actually made three days ago;

One reason for doing this is that the older generation of owners in the Tokyo metropolitan area want to get to know each other and discuss the changes that have occurred to them after obtaining the diaries;

On the other hand, it also serves as a model for the new generation of new holders who are not yet aware of the charm of the diary;

Although Yukino Yukinoshita had previously mentioned the gathering at Ring, unfortunately, as the group admin of Line, she had an unavoidable gathering today, and even if she wanted to, she would have to wait until the end of the gathering.

Despite the large number of holders, the only truly cohesive small group is the one created by Yang Nai.

However, with the introduction of new topics, the holders present gradually put aside their initial enthusiasm for meeting various netizens and had to start thinking about the issue more deeply.

Regardless of whether the mysterious person has been mentioned now, once this performance ends, the holders will surely share their opinions and grievances.

It can only be said that some are suffering from drought while others are suffering from floods. Very few holders have gained the attention of the mysterious person and received good treatment. Most of those present were unlucky souls who were brutally tortured and humiliated.

As for the newbies who haven't yet witnessed the mysterious person's methods, their curiosity about the mysterious person is even greater.

Is it possible that the mysterious person was present at the scene?

Hmm... very likely.

That guy who acts suspiciously, who claims to be a god but dares not reveal his true identity, has been hiding behind the screen from beginning to end. Is it possible that he will maintain this consistent style this time as well?

Kasumigaoka Utaha's question hit the nail on the head, causing the several holders present to look around nervously.

If they had a system in their minds, it would probably beep right now and ask, "[Accept side quest: Capture the mysterious person A who may be lurking in the crowd]?"

Some are happy, some are sad;

Eriri bared her canine teeth, her face contorted with rage. Her twin tails stood up like a Super Saiyan, her head scanning the room from every angle. She clenched her fists menacingly, her anger blazing: "What?! Is that guy here?!"

"This is just a guess." Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at Eriri, whose face was twitching with emotion. Then, she looked around to make sure there were no suspicious people around. She sighed, "Look, you're in such a hurry. You really are immature, Eriri-kun."

"Gu——!"

Upon hearing this, the golden retriever let out a dejected whimper and muttered, "You talk so smugly, do you even understand Eriri's pain?"

This prompted Suoh Yuki, who considered Eriri a kindred spirit, to speak up. Her gossip was plentiful: "How so? Was this something that happened before I joined the holder sequence?"

Eriri pursed her lips;

It can be said that among everyone present, she was the only one who had gained nothing in the field of diaries except for being tortured by the mysterious person. How could she not be excited upon hearing this name?

Although there are signs of her becoming a full-fledged member, she has recently been hanging out with Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha, and has successfully copied and drawn one or two rather interesting promotional illustrations, which are just waiting to be colored before being uploaded to Twitter.

But this was more of a spontaneous act by Kasumigaoka Utaha to help her, rather than an instruction from the mysterious person. At most, she would thank this guy for bringing her into the ranks of holders and providing this connection.

Wait a minute... does this mean I should thank that bastard instead?!

Eriri's face darkened even more.

Unwilling to openly discuss her dark past, she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, listlessly spouting a couple of witty remarks that were hard to understand, such as "It's none of your business" and "Don't easily touch the darkness of the Sawamura family." Then she continued to stare around, wishing she could immediately find Li Yinguang lurking in the crowd and whip him with her twin tails.

Unfortunately... I can't find it!

Eriri couldn't help but question Kasumigaoka Utaha's judgment until someone confirmed the accuracy of the latter's statement.

“Kasumigaoka was right. I remember the god mentioned that He would secretly come to our gathering.”

As one of the main holders of Season 1, Mai-senpai knew the contents of the diary by heart, and she still remembered what Li Yinguang had said.

"According to the information about the deity revealed by Xiangzi and Mu, this deity likes to hide among people and spy on us while wearing all sorts of strange masks."

At this point, Mai Sakurajima led the group around with hope and curiosity, looking around for a moment. She herself paid close attention to whether there were any signs of leaking life energy on the people present, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

Midway through, Li Yinguang mingled among the crowd, chatting animatedly. Unfortunately, despite his exceptional disguise skills, even Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't notice anything slightly familiar about this young man in the same room.

After inspecting the area several times, the group reluctantly gave up.

"It really won't work, how could we possibly find it..." Eriri sighed, feeling incredibly foolish.

After all, this is the world of anime and manga, and all the musicians are handsome men and beautiful women, so it's really hard to pick out the most unique person from among them.

Even though it was a small live event with only a few dozen people present, who would dare to identify someone in the audience without any certainty?

This feeling really annoyed them.

Looking at Li Yinguang, he couldn't help but laugh: "This kind of 'blind spot under the lamp' approach is quite interesting."

From his perspective, it was as if he were looking down on a group of novice gamers who had accepted quests but couldn't find their goals.

What is pleasure?

That's what we call pleasure.

Seeing that everyone was eager to find him.

But they still couldn't find a single clue.

The satisfaction of successfully infiltrating gave Li Yinguang a plan.

Since everyone is so keen on searching for themselves?

Shouldn't I give some reward in return?

With this thought in mind, Li Yinguang took out his pen and stood in a corner where there were no cameras, quietly writing in his diary.

at the same time,

Mai Sakurajima, who was leading the discussion, sighed.

After careful examination, she concluded that the mysterious person was not present.

Or perhaps, the mysterious man's control over his expressions was far superior to that of a professional actress like her, making it impossible for her to detect even the slightest awkwardness in his emotions.

So... it still can't be reached?

"I guess the opportunity hasn't arrived yet?"

Mai-senpai couldn't help but murmur, which was also heard by Suoh Yuki beside her.

The newcomer, naturally curious, sized up the famous senior female student.

So she subtly inquired, "Does Mai-senpai really want to see the mysterious person?"

“This…” Sakurajima Mai, who has always been brave enough to express herself frankly, showed a troubled expression.

Instead, Kasumigaoka Utaha teased, "After all, you're the first disciple."

Upon hearing this, Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips awkwardly. After a moment, she rubbed the stray strands of hair on her shoulder and muttered, "Well, even though I'm a working adult, I'm still quite interested in this selfless god."

An interesting remark reached her ears, causing the girl standing beside her to squint her eyes, her gossipy heart stirring again. However, Suoh Yuki knew the tricks of conversation very well, and was very aware that some topics should not be crossed.

As the future heir of a powerful clan, she is not simply a typical otaku/anime fan;

The girl was very confident in her own insight and judgment.

Unlike most people who, after acquiring a diary, go through a buffer period before believing in its authenticity, I did not.

The moment she got her hands on the diary, she was immediately convinced of its extraordinary nature.

But...

The reason the girl sought out this information was because...

It is not that I harbor any ill intentions.

As an otaku, how could she turn a deaf ear to so many world secrets she knew?

"I have a feeling that Mai-senpai is very interested in Mr. Mysterious Man."

"Gurgle—I really want to learn a few tricks, I really want to become Spider-Man or Ultraman and save the world!"

Such anticipation flashed through her mind involuntarily. Suoh Yuki, who had always carried the expectations of her family, actually longed for that extraordinary power.

All she knew was that the previous season's diary holders seemed to possess a special cultivation method, but unfortunately, as a second-batch holder, she had no qualifications to learn it.

Even though Mai Sakurajima had shared various cultivation tips and concepts in the Line group, after trying them, she only found that breathing exercises were time-consuming and had no other use.

So...

Surely the gods wouldn't be biased!

The new generation of holders in the second tier must also receive some brand new rewards!

Whoever it is, just hurry up and acquire something powerful, preferably a clone technique or something, so that I don't have to be forced to follow the rules of a young lady all day long. I can let my clones do those things!

A cry that ran through her mind was completely devoid of any sense of restraint or elegance, and the girl Yuki couldn't help but take out the diary from her handbag.

Her slender, pale fingers kept caressing the colorful book, not caring much about the spoilers; she only craved power!

Upon further reflection, Suoh Yuki couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if a flame was stirring within her chest and bursting forth.

As the flames were ignited, she could no longer contain her unbridled emotions, raised her head, and parted her thin lips slightly.

"I made a decision."

The commotion caught the attention of the girls, and Eriri couldn't help but ask a question.

"You've made a decision? Decided on what?"

"I've made up my mind. For my beloved otaku life, I'm going to launch an absolutely amazing raffle in this performance studio!"

The firmness of that attitude left Lili stunned, Xiaqiu speechless, and Mai speechless. The six of them looked at each other, all dumbfounded.

"...What is she saying?" Li Yinguang was also stunned, his hand, which was flying across the diary, paused for a moment;

Although both are children from wealthy families, there seems to be a thick barrier separating Suo Yuki from them.

That is, she has a mother who expects her daughter to succeed, while parents from equally wealthy families like Li Lixue's only care about whether their children grow up healthily.

Looking at the stage performance that wouldn't start for another fifteen minutes, the girl opened the lottery page of her diary.

Ignoring the surprised looks from the people around her, her gentle and reserved gaze suddenly turned sharp.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, she abandoned her chanting and rang out a powerful declaration under Eriri's stunned gaze: "Now it's my turn, draw a card!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his finger fell and tapped the last remaining lottery pool.

That arrogant attitude and self-righteous manner made Eriri feel a bit uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but sigh, saying that this colleague was still too young.

After the new version of the diary was released, the older generation of holders had already started to hoard lottery chances, thinking of accumulating enough to defeat their enemies in one fell swoop.

The new generation of novices are still too inexperienced, choosing to waste their only chance.

There's no need to overthink it; the outcome is predictable.

"Either colorful light or golden light, choose one."

This wasn't her malicious curse wishing Suoh wouldn't get the item; it was simply that she knew the diary's lottery mechanism all too well. How could a newbie like her possibly... possibly...

Huh--!

Wait... what... what is this?!

With a dynamic sway, a flash of blue light appeared in an instant!

The shockwave made Eriri cover her eyes and let out a painful scream as her titanium alloy eyes were injured by the shock.

One shipment... this is unacceptable!!!

For a moment, everyone was stunned, the same thought flashing through their minds—this guy actually got a shipment? Impossible!?
