Mom Is Mom, and a Girlfriend Is a Girlfriend
It'll be almost night soon, and the update in my Diary just now is reminding me that it's getting late.
Soon, Horikita Suzune returned to her dormitory.
Release the water first.
The time I spend taking a hot bath can be used to read today's diary.
"Splashing..." The sound of water, somewhat similar to but not quite the sound of turning pages in Diary, kept filling the bathtub. One of the benefits of the school being fully responsible for the water and electricity was that high school students could enjoy bathing freedom early on, without having to share a basin of hot water with their families.
After finishing her preparations, Horikita Suzune returned to her desk, took out her notebook and pen, and opened her Diary.
"..."
Has it been 100 days already?
It has been 100 days since I received this Diary, and tomorrow will mark 100 days since I enrolled in Advanced Nurturing.
I felt a sudden surge of emotion for no apparent reason.
If it were me before I enrolled in school, I would never have imagined that I would have become like this.
... Although it seems like nothing has changed much, it also feels like everything has changed from beginning to end.
At least, her obsession with her brother seems to have quietly faded away.
She should have made peace with herself by now.
Should...?
"Hmm..." Shaking her head, Horikita Suzune decided not to dwell on these things and continued flipping through her diary.
Then, she saw something unexpected.
Shiranami Chihiro didn't confess to Ichinose Honami, but instead confessed to Asakusa Toru...?
Well, that guy has a good-looking face, so it's not surprising that he gets confessed to.
However, being able to change the sexual orientation of a woman's contact list... that's really impressive.
She confessed her feelings to me, and we started dating.
Next... they'll definitely be doing that kind of thing day and night, right?
Very nice--
No, that's truly degenerate.
Instead of thinking about improving themselves or finding ways to become better, they indulge in meaningless things like romantic relationships.
Fall for yourself!
Horikita Suzune patted her cheeks.
"... Uninhabited Island." He slowly uttered the words from the diary, his gaze sweeping straight down.
Special Exam will be held from August 1st to August 7th, lasting seven days.
Rules, score details, and competition method.
Everything was written clearly in the diary.
Just like the detailed Behavioral Norms Exam were released last time.
Horikita Suzune had no doubt about the authenticity of these rules.
Since he dared to write it down, it must be true.
Moreover, since this type of exam is not conducted secretly, the rules will naturally be announced on the day of the exam.
He had no reason to fake it.
But... what made her a little uncomfortable was that she found herself subconsciously wondering if the Diary was 'once again' deliberately concealing some special content.
Just like last time, it wasn't explicitly stated that 'Class Points' and 'Private Points' were linked.
"..." The sluggish thoughts quickly turned into relief.
Even if something was indeed concealed, it doesn't diminish the convenience of being informed of the exam content 23 days in advance.
She has plenty of time to prepare.
My Private Points are barely enough to be worthless, but I still need to start saving them.
If necessary, borrow money to buy some essential supplies before the exam.
She thought.
Putting aside any thoughts of preparation, she finally focused her attention on the information that had been released.
The person to whom this information was revealed was quite close to him; it was Koenji Rokusuke, who also belonged to Class D.
Only son of a chaebol, with excellent physical qualities and outstanding Academic Ability.
Both their background and their abilities are clearly superior to mine.
But he was still assigned to Class D.
The reason is simply because of a minor issue of 'coordination'.
In other words, it probably means having no friends.
Horikita Suzune suddenly felt a little relieved.
Even someone like Koenji was assigned to Class D, which shows that the school's class assignments are completely haphazard.
Koenji's abilities, Koenji's catchphrase, Koenji's personality traits...
He didn't actually hide any of these things at all.
The intelligence report contained information that would be common knowledge even with a simple investigation.
Frankly, this is nowhere near as detailed as the previous intelligence report.
But she could also understand.
After all, the guy behind the Diary clearly has a thing for women.
A man like Koenji shouldn't even appear in his Diary in the first place.
So far, the only men mentioned in the Diary, besides Asakusa Toru and Ryuen Kakeru, seem to be Yamauchi.
... Could he actually be Yamauchi?
For no apparent reason, a very vulgar idea popped into Horikita Suzune's head.
It's no wonder she thought that way; he mocked and slandered most people, but he praised Yamauchi that diary entry.
... Is it to be held in high esteem?
Cough.
Unimportant.
With a slight blush, she suppressed the jumbled thoughts and glanced at the last casually mentioned "Little Sister-chan".
Horikita Suzune closed her Diary.
"Reading completed for today, Reading Points +1"
Horikita Suzune has accumulated 99 Reading Points throughout her history.
Number of comments: 3.
The girl remained completely silent, not uttering a single word.
If all goes well, the Diary will change again when this number reaches 100.
Although it seems that no new features were added in version 93, it only added one more message.
What changes will you notice in your Diary when your Reading Points jump to 100?
Shiina Hiyori, is able to answer this question.
The answer is that they seem to have one more companion.
Yes, that's right. No new sections have been opened, but new Diary have been distributed.
It will still be distributed randomly.
As for the scope and quantity...
Within the 'Advanced Nurturing' category, 'one additional book' will be issued.
Based on this, it seems that there were indeed only four people who originally owned the Diary within the school.
... Four classes, one student per class?
Will the fifth book disrupt this balance?
Shiina Hiyori didn't know.
Perhaps the Diary will be given to upperclassmen, or perhaps Diary will be given to the teacher who is in charge of the class in the same year.
However, the other party will certainly not reveal their identity in the short term.
So instead of dwelling on that, let's turn our attention back to today's diary entries.
One of them was the confession she witnessed this afternoon.
Secondly, there's the Uninhabited Island Special Exam during summer vacation, which I mentioned before but didn't explain clearly.
Thirdly, there is information about a person named Koenji Rokusuke.
The former wrote in a cheerful tone, but Shiina Hiyori could sense a subtle flavor in her words.
Is it jealousy?
No, it's not.
It's awkward.
The awkward feeling of not wanting to write, but having no choice but to.
"Hehe..." It couldn't help but elicit a soft chuckle.
The second spoiler is quite interesting and can be said to be closely related to everyone in the first year.
After all, it is well known that Special Exam affect Class Points, and Class Points determine class ranking and the Private Points distributed by the school each month.
In other words, it determines the 'future' and the 'present'.
Knowing exam information in advance allows you to do many things, such as prepare in a targeted manner and have more time to think.
As it is written below, those who are clever enough to anticipate the existence of Special Exam have already begun training.
A strong physique is clearly necessary for any exam.
As for the final information regarding Koenji...
Well, Shiina Hiyori felt that big shots like these chaebol heirs had never really been a concern for her.
I don't care, and I don't need to care.
Perhaps we should think about how to subtly reveal information about the Special Exam to Ryuen.
If, as the Diary suggests, everyone could unite and work together to take the exam beforehand, that would be ideal.
