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

Can everyone accept that all of today's updates will be scheduled for midnight tomorrow? If not, I will update as usual, because we have a high readership, so we don't actually need that much traffic to boost our rankings.

Chapter 21. God Wants to See Mai Sakurajima Act (5k)

Um...

It is coming!

It's finally here!

Can anyone understand the sense of redemption that comes from finally getting an update on a favorite work after waiting all morning?

If you don't understand, I suggest you watch the female protagonists who seem relieved and at ease as new chapters of their diaries are updated.

Almost the instant she picked up the diary, Toyokawa Shoko snorted, "Um, could you please, Your Majesty the High and Mighty God, at least maintain a normal human sense of time? A true god should be..."

Mai Sakurajima wiped the sweat from her forehead, a weight lifted from her heart: "Phew, thank goodness I didn't give up."

Yukino Yukinoshita gazed out the window, lost in thought, her brow furrowed in contemplation: "Was it an accident, or...?"

Chihaya Aine opened Instagram the moment her diary was updated: "Quick, the diary is here! Our source of joy, I hope it's interesting!"

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha... looking at the first line of her diary entry about begging for favors, she sighed in exasperation at her lack of ambition.

That's enough, sweating on Kasumigaoka.jpg

You procrastinating dog, how dare you mention the three-part combo?

"Is there any point in contributing shock points to such an unpunctual and unprofessional mysterious person A?"

"I often work on my manuscripts until the wee hours of the morning."

Just by glancing at the first two lines of text at the top of the page, Ms. Xia Shizi, who has a wealth of writing experience, was reminded of her painful history of being held back by editors to meet deadlines. She couldn't help but want to urge the diary to launch a rating system so she could give the mysterious person a bad review.

On the other hand, this successful figure in the high school world, 17-year-old Ms. Kasumigaoka, suddenly discovered a chilling problem.

When did I become able to actively ignore the ramblings of the mysterious person A in the first two lines of their diary?!

Now, after calming down and looking at the line "A sleeping dragon has awakened," Kasumigaoka Utaha gasped, feeling as if she had been blasted away by an incredibly powerful aura. Her scalp tingled, and she had a post-viewing experience reminiscent of being raped.

That's it, that's the taste, it's so authentic and stops my cough.

This is not a good sign!

Mysterious man, you have no integrity! Are you trying to drag my literary skills down to your level and completely defeat me? Don't even think about begging for mercy!

"I should probably seal up my diary. Anyway, I've never thought about getting involved in that supernatural world."

"Tsk, I need to hurry up and eat~ What a pity, this mysterious person A will permanently lose a precious reader because of the delay in updating."

With a tone of resistance and disdain, Kasumigaoka took a deep breath, proudly puffed out her chest, and closed her eyes arrogantly, seemingly indicating that she would no longer visit the diary.

Unfortunately, this is a wrong answer.

Saying one thing and meaning another is a human prerogative, especially since... this is the person who can resist reading a diary—thumbs up.jpg

She did this to rest and recuperate, adjust her reading state, prepare herself mentally in advance, and anticipate the diary plot that might appear in the new chapter.

For example, the last episode mentioned the plot related to superpowered individuals—shouldn't this diary entry include a solution for 'how to avoid encountering paranormal phenomena'?

For example, if Ta mobilized its holders to participate in a lottery last time, will the winners be congratulated in a public announcement this time?

Will Mai Sakurajima, who is now living a happy life, bid farewell to the screen as a writer of her diary?

Has anyone deliberately sought death and been crushed into scum by evil spirits, who used them as a speed bump?

Will Toyokawa Shoko get scolded today?

After mentally preparing himself by reviewing each previous piece of content, Kasumigaoka slowly opened his eyes, and a powerful aura erupted from within—the very state of enlightenment that a novelist experiences.

Immediately, a pair of crimson eyes tilted slightly downwards, then suddenly transformed into a fiery lightning bolt, sweeping across the diary with a frequency faster than a scanner!

Forget about eating, intensive diary reading is the real priority.

—Hmm...Let me see, which adorable little one has been unlucky enough to be added to today's diary list?

Immersed in the world of art, at this moment, there is only reading.

...

Alright, let's get back to the main topic. I'll explain why I updated late later. Let's get started first.

As the saying goes, a day in heaven is equivalent to a year on earth.

Although I, your brother A, am a very busy person, I still have to complete my daily diary entry for everyone before starting the official topic.

The infighting among highly developed individuals is truly something to look forward to. Although I haven't been paying much attention to the story of highly developed individuals lately, it seems that the bait I casually cast has yielded quite a result. I look forward to seeing you continue your efforts.

Next, I'll pick a few private messages to talk about, starting with one from Asuna Yuuki in Tokyo.

You ask me what your future holds?

All I can say is—kids, beware of that bald guy with the title of "Three Thousand Victories" and the pretentious expression from outer space.

Next up is a private message from a UK user named PinkDragon.

You want to go back to China—I think you have, but I suggest you reconsider. A smiling girl is lucky no matter where she is.

Hmm... The third one is by Toyokawa Shoko. I can only say that if you keep acting silly, I'm really going to expose your true colors, the great Queen of Forgotten Things.

My response, one that aligns with your thought process, would be...

'A bag of rice, how many floors can you carry it up? A bag of rice, Kang Nai! A bag of rice, Oh, what a burden! A bag of rice, so tiring! A bag of rice, Xing Duo Luo Mi! Hongdu Heiwa Oh Wa Ga Nai!'

'Oh, you insignificant mortal, Toyokawa Shoko, do not be too arrogant; this is God's final warning.'

How about that? Was this cringeworthy enough? I bet you behind the screen were so shocked by these words that your jaw dropped, and you've probably etched them into your memory.

All I can say is that you should show me more respect in the future. I have many more powerful lines to fill your empty, immature mind.

But before that, let me give you a hint: you'd better tell your childhood friend to go and check on her for dissociative identity disorder. The girl is quite pitiful. I'll talk about it another time; I don't have time now.

If it really can't be cured, don't worry. Let me draw up my Imagine Breaker and give him a spiky hairstyle. Then I'll give Xiao Mu a friendly face-breaking punch, which might be more effective than seeing a doctor.

Alright, you can step back now. We need to get down to business. Look at you, wasting everyone's time.

You've already delayed everyone, but you've also wasted my time. Do you know how exhausted I was after running around all over Japan this morning?

You have hurt me deeply; my heart aches more than 1000-7...

The next private message I read was the fourth one, which is also the most important reason why I chose to take the time to read private messages.

but!

Before reading this;

I have to emphasize this again!

If you draw an item you don't like in the lottery, it's purely a matter of luck.

You all understand the principle that virtual items are non-refundable, right?

You guys should just stop smoking like Xia Laofei and Xue Pingban;

Don't blame me if you're not happy with the prize you won. I'm just as unlucky as you are. After not taking notes at the front desk and only winning 100 million in cash, do you know how heartbroken I was when I wrote that epic masterpiece yesterday that shocked you all?

Speaking of which, quite a few people won good prizes yesterday, which made me lose so much I almost had to take the bus.

How careless you must be to swallow a Senzu Bean, which can save lives, like a snack in one bite, by Ishiro High School?

Toyokawa Shoko was even luckier, winning a top-tier character account in a two-character open-world game that only successful people would install on their phones.

However, compared to the two mentioned above, Asuna Yuuki is truly fortunate to have drawn the glowing recipe "Golden Fried Rice" in her favorite culinary field.

I hope one day I'll see you selling fried rice on the street, and I'll definitely support you by serving a portion.

...

Okay, let me put it bluntly—

These pen pals are all incredibly lucky people who extracted very useful things from their diaries.

However, at most, the people mentioned above who won good things only improved their lives or satisfied their curiosity about new things.

But the heavyweight I'm about to talk about won a prize that completely changed the course of her life.

Please, this mysterious person who sent the private message, be patient.

Before answering your question, I must first apologize to the people of the whole country.

Do you all still remember the name Mai Sakurajima?

As I said yesterday, her life has been smooth sailing and there's no need for her to change its trajectory.

But I have to take back what I said today.

As for the reason—

The fourth person to send a private message, Ms. Mai Sakurajima from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, please step forward!

It's a complete reversal, folks! Mai Sakurajima is going to become a yin-yang master.

How would you rate Mai-senpai's abstract approach?

Due to an accident, I was drawn with the ability to see ghosts.

Her life script is no longer "The pig-headed boy will never meet the bunny girl senior," but has become a boring, tongue-twisting supernatural story without a male lead, titled "I pretend not to see, but I am actually invisible to others."

The state of life has also evolved from "happily ended" to "won't live past the third episode".

To survive, one must continue to rack up likes, strive to become stronger, and go further on this marathon that is destined to be one where one is constantly coughing up blood.

Well... in any case—

Enjoy yourself, senior!

Your dream has indeed come true.

The world you envisioned, where no one knows you, is already very close to you; it's just that you're a bit far removed from the realm of humanity.

But this is definitely not your fault, senior!

I'm just a passerby.

An objective, firsthand evaluation.

Senior, you drew the Yin-Yang Eyes, there's definitely no shady dealing involved.

It's not that you deserved the ending because you courted disaster.

There is only one reason for this situation.

God wants to see Mai Sakurajima act.

"..."

Okay, let's get serious and not be silly.

I bet you're having a lot of trouble figuring out how to exorcise the evil spirits right now.

Even if you are a famous actor, you probably can't stand acting every moment. Just thinking about it is exhausting.

Yesterday, as soon as the issue of the evil spirit was announced, all the holders provided me with a huge amount of reward points.

So I guess besides Mai Sakurajima, there must have been a lot of people who couldn't sleep last night.

Are you scared?

I'm terrified that if I turn off the lights, I'll see a pale face staring at me through the gap in the curtains.

Are you scared?

I'm terrified that if I lift the covers, a ghostly dog's face will pop out.

I suggest you don't worry unnecessarily.

None of you have the ability to see ghosts.

So what if you're surrounded by evil spirits?

Although there may be high-level evil spirits with intelligence in the world.

But I haven't had any experience with that kind of thing yet, so I won't say more.

If you're really worried, just get some crosses or amulets to comfort yourselves.

The most accomplished chain enterprises in this regard.
