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

Sakayanagi Arisu: "Oh dear~ How wicked this mysterious person is... taking advantage of the fact that there are no security cameras in our school dorms to cause trouble. Heh~ Oh well, consider it a reward for you. I look forward to the day when I have the chance to personally tear off the veil from your face, God." (121 likes)

Anna Hanami: "Hey, Korak! Who actually steals a girl's shoes?! Although... although the sweets you gave me were really nice, but... anyway, don't use my shoes for anything bad!" (85 likes)

Horikita Suzune: "Hmm... Fine, I can't dodge your whims. But please offer a suitable price in exchange. I want to see a way to turn Class D around in tomorrow's diary." (95 likes)

Mai Sakurajima: "This is really a bit tasteless, junior. If you really want the shoes, given your previous commendable behavior, I could accept you taking mine." (71 likes)

Elisa Kujo: "So, could any of you students from the Higher Education Bureau help me find Li Yinguang? Thank you!" (15 likes)

Honami Ichinose: "First of all, I must condemn A-kun's prank. It's a huge humiliation for a girl! Secondly, Elisa Kujo, I know Li Yinguang-senpai. He... um, he's still alive, so please don't worry!" (99 likes)

Karuizawa Megumi: "Hey, I met that senior yesterday. Kujo-kun, could you tell me more about his situation? I can help him out if I can!" (21 likes)

...

'...'

Look at the messages sent from the diary.

Especially those messages with extremely high likes.

A feeling of doubt welled up in my heart.

Although my mind once again instinctively jumped to the conclusion that "he's a CS player, he really did steal shoes, just not mine."

But after glancing subconsciously at the location of her shoe cabinet, Kasumigaoka Utaha, for the first time, didn't get emotional, but instead began to reflect on the authenticity of the comments.

How come their shoes weren't stolen when they were so beautiful, while everyone else insisted that their shoes were stolen?

That's...possible, but very unlikely...or is it that mysterious person A did this on purpose...to see the holders fight amongst themselves?

Of course—in fact, there is another possibility.

That means all other diary holders are lying to get likes, or that there are a few isolated cases like her who are lying?

Kasumigaoka, who knew nothing about this group, could only think of this much, and had no way of guessing any other possibilities, let alone verifying the truth.

Based on the information revealed in today's diary;

There's only one thing that Kasumigaoka Utaha understands very well, and that's the harmfulness of evil spirits; she must take precautions against them.

So... with such complex and ever-changing thoughts, Kasumigaoka Utaha forgot how she got through the tedious lessons that day.

"I need to hurry to the shrine tonight to buy some exorcism items or something, otherwise some rich guy will buy everything, and if I really run into trouble, there'll be no way to save me."

With the awareness of buying a fashion item for the first time, Kasumigaoka left the classroom as soon as school was over.

I finally managed to collect a complete set of things like incense sticks, cinnabar beads, and crosses after searching all the areas near my home.

During this process, she was completely focused and had no time to linger on the scenery along the way.

But... after taking a bath at home and placing various amulets in different corners of the house, I finally took out my pen and calmly prepared to write a diary entry about my impressions of the film.

Some less important memories suddenly flooded Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind.

Those were some things that happened before she left school today.

At that time, she was stopped by a junior who wore black-rimmed glasses and claimed to be a fan of "Kasumi Shiko".

The other party went on and on about how friendly they were, and she was thinking of just giving them a perfunctory reply and signing an autograph.

Who would have thought that person would say something so absurd, like "Let's make the best game together."

This left Kasumigaoka Utaha completely baffled: who was he, and was he even conscious?

He was a promising young writer who could easily earn money by simply typing on a keyboard, so what made this bespectacled junior so trusting of him to make such a strange invitation?

Kasumigaoka Utaha just felt that with the rapid development of electronic information technology, the world was going downhill, and there were more and more of these guys who inexplicably tried to build relationships in this world.

But now that I think about it, could this guy be the male protagonist that mysterious person A made up?

Because around the corner behind this junior, there was a blonde girl with a furry back that looked like a dog, who had been spying on their conversation.

Isn't that the famous lower-grade beauty, Eriri Sawamura, from the school?

Hey, come on, this kind of guy... a main character?

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought that either the mysterious person A had lost his mind or the creator of the ACG work she had seen was hysterical. She wasn't some naive girl who had never been moved by a boy before, so how could she be captured by such a genius?

Compared to this guy... she even suspected that Li Yinguang might be her destined nemesis, because she often thought about staging a Dragon King's return, making Li Yinguang kneel down on the spot in fear of her divine light.

This raises a question: what is it about the other person that she likes?

Speechless, Kasumigaoka Utaha began writing her review for the day.

Hello everyone in the comments section, I'm probably the only one among all the people tagged who didn't have their shoes stolen, but that's not what I want to ask in this comment... Mysterious person A, I want to ask if the stories you've told might not be the real situation we're in, but rather something like a two-dimensional parallel universe?

Because I ran into Eriri Sawamura and the male lead you mentioned today, my first impression of him was that he was rather ordinary, and there was nothing particularly likable about him, so...

...

The chapter is 3500 words long, and there will be more later. Please recommend it!

Chapter Twenty-Three. Hate me, I don't care what you think.

In short, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they can only be completely dispelled with a very reasonable explanation.

Just like how Li Yinguang capitalized on the diary holders' insatiable curiosity about the unknown and gained shock value by revealing their lives.

When Kasumigaoka Utaha begins to feel "emotion" about her ending, which is like "being kicked to death by Kato Megumi like a stray dog ​​on the side of the road";

This problem, which Li Yinguang himself had created, hit him like a boomerang in the knee.

When he lay in bed reviewing his private messages for the day, it was already 2 a.m.

"I've really gone in circles," she sighed, recounting all her actions that day.

From opening the Anywhere Door in the early morning to go to Chiba to buy Mr. Pan's doll to running around playing pranks, Li Yinguang's day can't be described as fulfilling; it's more like he's fully embraced a boring life.

First, I stole shoes and bought gifts, then I rushed off to class.

After school, he would run out of the high school again to search for paranormal information in various places, trying to figure out what the mysterious side of this anime crossover world was like.

The back-and-forth travel between the two places made Li Yinguang feel very comfortable.

But now, looking at the row of outdoor shoes of different sizes lined up on his computer desk, the self-proclaimed leader of the Phantom Thieves of Shoes had a bit of a headache.

Actually, he didn't really intend to steal the shoes at first; he was just joking.

But when Li Yinguang stood in front of Yukino's shoe cabinet, he vaguely recalled the time when Yukino was seven years old and had just met him, suspecting him of stealing her indoor shoes. He couldn't resist the urge to use his sinful hands.

He wasn't familiar with Yukino because she gave him a terrible first impression. He preferred to play with clingy, silver-haired little girls like Kujou Elisa before she went through puberty.

In short, it seems that Li Yinguang was responsible for this shoe theft, but he certainly shouldn't be blamed.

Even if Yukino finds out and accuses him later, he will have something to say—I didn't steal your shoes, I just took them along with the other diary holders.

As for why he didn't take Kasumigaoka Utaha's...

Just say it!

The older female high school student who always wore black stockings and looked very languid made Li Yinguang hesitant to touch her shoes, just thinking about their smell.

As a result, he got his comeuppance.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's extremely unfriendly comment about Aki Tomoya, along with the more than 100 little hearts in the upper right corner of the comment, demonstrates that this issue must be addressed directly.

Do parallel universes exist?

I don't even know where the end of the Milky Way is, and you're asking me?

Ultimately—

This is a trial, a trial originating from the past. Only by overcoming the fear of the future can one make even the slightest progress, don't you think... Kasumigaoka Utaha?

The scene here is just like the scene there was then.

Recalling the plot of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5.

When Golden Wind was airing, Diablo, out of fear of the past, brutally murdered his own daughter in an attempt to end his family line.

Li Yinguang used to think Diablo was a complete idiot, but now he understands why the other party was so afraid.

He got it!

Dige taught him the principles of being a good person.

Being chased by the mistakes made by your immature past self is truly an uncomfortable thing.

Of course, play around as you please, but don't joke about your boss. There's no denying that your boss is a beast.

If he had been even a little more rational, he could have listened to a simple "The best way to overcome fear is to face it, keep going!" before he contemplated killing his daughter, and the tragic end would not have been possible.

Hmm... I've digressed. Let's get back to the matter at hand.

Kasumigaoka's diary entry is quite insightful, prompting Li Yinguang to reflect on his thoughts.

"system."

【Um? 】

"If I could turn back time seven years, I would go back and correct the mistakes I made when I was young."

【...】

"Bro, what are you speechless about? I was just kidding."

The idea of ​​resetting time is just empty talk.

Even if there were a real possibility of restarting his life, Li Yinguang would absolutely refuse.

He waved his hand, confident and assured.

His carefree demeanor left the system completely baffled.

Have you made a decision?

"Of course, don't worry, I've already made plans for this!"

"Bearing the expectations of countless female fans and the name of the mysterious A, I cannot lose!"

A powerful statement came from Li Yinguang's mouth, containing the principle of protection.

I can only say it's a bit too exciting, everyone.

However, the system has become immune to Li Yinguang's intermittent acts of divine intervention and is now focused on something else.

[Fangirl? What fangirl?]

The system glanced at the emotion value feedback.

[Toyokawa Shoko's anger level +100]

Toyokawa Shoko's fear level +100

[Wakaba Mutsumi's Grievance Value +30]

Yukino Yukinoshita's anger level increased by 500.

[Hanami Anna's shyness level +30]

[Hanami Anzu's enjoyment level +50]

[Sakayanagi Arisu's anger level +100]

[Horikita Suzune's Rage Value +80]

[Kasumigaoka Utaha's doubt level +50]

Mai Sakurajima's fear level +1

Mai Sakurajima's fear level +2

【...】

The system lacks human emotions, but it can understand data.

So where are the fangirls?

At a glance, all you see are negative emotions; you can hardly see any normal ones.

In a game interface, Li Yinguang would probably be seen as a red-named, inhuman creature eager to be killed by these girls who were persecuted for stealing shoes.

"So, System Bro, this is your weakness, you know? They hate me so much, yet they still read through my diary every day urging me to update. Isn't that a form of worship?"
