Information Currently Cleared for Release

If you only read the diary on the day it was published, it would be fine; reading it based on the complaints in the diary might even have its own unique flavor.

But seeing the diary today is somewhat disheartening.

"Reading completed for today, Reading Points +1"

The voice rang in her ears, but Shiina Hiyori did not close her Diary for a long time.

She wanted to write more interesting things in her Diary.

Consider this a request from a reader.

If you can, please share more about your life, share more about your emotions, and share everything you know.

"..."

So, Shiina Hiyori picked up her pen.

"You have a new message."

"You have a new message."

Asakusa Toru tossed aside today's reward item and ignored the voices around him.

Although it's been a long time since I've left a comment, these days comments probably won't be uploaded with anything particularly interesting anymore.

These guys were already on guard, knowing their comments would be made public, so they were all somewhat cautious about what they said.

It feels like it goes against the original intention of leaving a message.

But there's nothing he can do. The copy holders are afraid that if they criticize him, their insults will be written in their diaries and exposed, and he can't just let them use the message board to insult him at will.

That's all for now.

There will always be someone who needs to use this thing, just like today.

"You wrote too little." Asakusa Toru stopped tossing the paper and looked at today's reward, his expression somewhat subtle.

[Name: Black Paint]

[Category: Items]

[Effect: Spray-on paint adhesion]

[Note: "This thing is absolutely perfect for obscuring camera feeds."]

A very... ordinary reward.

So ordinary that even Asakusa Toru, who received a 'D' rating, is a little skeptical that it's overrated.

Although it wasn't rated D, compared to other D-rated items, he felt this thing was pretty useless.

Where can't he buy paint cans?

The only use for this thing is as a prop that can be kept in Diary and carried around.

Asakusa Toru is also reflecting on his actions.

He should have been in a good mood, and he had a premonition that he would achieve something, but the poor results, besides being due to bad luck, could also be because he wrote too little.

He only complained about the power struggle between the Little Princess and the Dragon Boy, and also mentioned the outdated Zero-Point Strategy.

If it were me, I would indeed find it difficult to give it a very high rating.

Or... should we restart the Advanced Nurturing God-man Ranking Project?

A God-man every day, and props arrive in droves.

No, writing every day is too frequent. Let's compromise a bit. Whenever I feel there's something interesting to write about, I'll also include 'information that can be released at this stage' at the end!

After readjusting his future strategy, Asakusa Toru finally opened his Diary and began reading the latest messages.

One of the comments was a question.

[Everyone has their own reasons for being assigned to different classes, so why were Asakusa Toru and Ichinose Honami assigned to Class B?]

Moreover, it's a matter concerning oneself.

My name was openly and honestly written in my Diary.

Almost subconsciously, Asakusa Toru wanted to make this comment transparent.

But he quickly stopped himself from doing so.

It's okay, this is just a very common confusion. When I repeatedly mentioned in my Diary that everyone had a reason for being assigned to different classes, I should have known that it would lead to other people making inferences about me.

Besides... Little Kikyo asked him the same question a couple of days ago.

At the time, I couldn't give her a precise answer because of my acquaintance with 'Asakusa Toru,' but today, it seems she left a message with a question.

It also includes Honami.

To be honest, Asakusa Toru wasn't entirely sure why Ichinose Honami was assigned to Class B.

But he also had some guesses.

Logically speaking, under his influence, Honami did not steal anything, nor was she forced by her mother to kneel down and apologize. Therefore, there should be no psychological trauma that would cause her to become withdrawn.

Given Ichinose Honami's abilities, she should have been placed in Class A.

But the fact is, she's still in Class B.

The first possibility that comes to mind is that large amounts of capital are at play.

Because Sakayanagi Narimori wanted to put Sakayanagi Arisu into Class A, he couldn't put Ichinose in Class A, so he had to settle for Class B instead.

However, such thinking is too dark. Although he has criticized the Little Princess a lot, she can't bear too much blame. Even if there are powerful forces at work, there should be a plausible reason for it.

So, if we absolutely have to find a reason...

Well... it's possible that the school dug up Honami's past, when he and Natsuki Kenichi called the police and he was taken to the station together. As a student with a 'blemish' on his record, he was demoted to Class B.

As for myself, hehe, it wouldn't be surprising if Class D went somewhere.

It can be explained in any way.

"..."

With a light touch of his pen, Asakusa Toru wrote a reply, then turned to look at another comment.

The second message was a request.

[If possible, please share more about your life, your emotions, and everything you know—consider it a request from our readers.]

"..."

Greedy, insatiable, stemming from the reader's thirst for knowledge.

Readers are never satisfied creatures.

They hope the story won't end until their expectations are fully met.

Until their thirst for knowledge is satisfied, they hope that the stories they encounter will always have a sequel.

As they turn to the last page of the book, they hope that they will see more in the next moment.

Asakusa Toru, a fellow reader, could understand this feeling very well.

Therefore, he will write an affirmative response to this comment.

Shiina Hiyori, I will continue writing before you get tired.

Chapter 178 Information Available for Public Release at This Stage

Share, request, reader.

The brief keywords and simple petition made it easy for Asakusa Toru to deduce that the message was addressed to Shiina Hiyori.

Thinking from this perspective, Asakusa Toru arrived at the answer almost instantly.

No wonder he couldn't see her make any moves; it wouldn't be surprising if it was Shiina Hiyori who got the Diary Copy.

After all, she is the only designated NPC with Advanced Nurturing.

To be honest, before today, Asakusa Toru thought that there were only three Diary in the school: those of Sakayanagi Arisu, Kushida Kikyo, and Horikita Suzune.

He was still thinking about how unfair it was: Class D got two books, Class A got one, and the other classes didn't get a single one.

Now that we have Shiina Hiyori, that means there are a total of four books.

There probably aren't any in Class B; if someone could keep it from him after spending more than two months together, that would be incredibly impressive.

She's even better at hiding than the Little Kikyo.

If she's so good at hiding things, then let her hide them.

So far, it seems that all the holders of the copies are beautiful girls, Asakusa Toru has decided to take it upon himself to determine that the distribution of the Diary will only be limited to beautiful girls.

'If this makes your imagination run wild, then let's assume it does.'

With this philosophy in mind, Asakusa Toru quickly discovered that the world had become much more pleasant.

After Shiina Hiyori's identity was confirmed, things that were previously unclear suddenly became clear.

Yes, that's right, I'm talking about that comment from last month asking who my favorite person is.

Looking back, it's immediately clear that this message was written by Shiina Hiyori.

Only she would care about something like this.

My reply at the time was... oh, I just wrote her name.

"Hmm~" Without any preamble, she directly wrote down the four large characters 'Shiina Hiyori'.

Will she feel like she's already opened her box?

Putting everything else aside, at least he has now opened her box.

"..."

If that's the case, then it makes sense that Ryuen Kakeru knows about Chairman Sakayanagi Arisu's father.

Since there's already someone in the class who owns Diary Copy, it's not surprising that they know about this.

That being said... the NPC lady hid it really well; after spending so much time together in the library, he really didn't realize she actually had Diary.

"..."

It was already close to evening. Although he had only just finished finishing his diary entry for the day, considering his response to the comments, Asakusa Toru decided to stay a little longer.

That's right, he's going for a double attack.

However, if I had to say, it wasn't really a very formal diary.

Simply because there was a 50-character limit to replies, he couldn't write any more. After thinking it over, he realized that the next day wasn't far off, so he might as well write another diary entry to try and get the reward.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock--"

The hands kept ticking, and soon the three hands—time, minute, and second—returned to their original positions simultaneously. Asakusa Toru happily put down his pen.

"Your message has received a reply. Please check it promptly."

After writing down her petition, Shiina Hiyori quietly awaited a response.

Although the previous message seemed to have been replied to during class the next day, people are always eager to know the results of things done on a whim.

Especially when you calm down a bit, analyze the pros and cons, and start to regret it, wondering if you acted impulsively.

At times like these, a good outcome is needed to soothe one's conscience.

When you impulsively spend a lot of money and then regret it immensely, you'll feel relieved as long as you successfully sell the item with dazzling brilliance.

So, when the cold voice rang out, Shiina Hiyori didn't hesitate to open her Diary to the message page.

Then she saw a much shorter reply.

[Good]

"Yes!" The girl clenched her fist, striking a victory pose.

He agreed!

The reply was brief, but seeing that simple "good," Shiina Hiyori's lips unconsciously curled up slightly. That "good" was like a pebble thrown into a lake of her heart, creating ripples as it fell into the water.
