Snatch Her Notebook

... That doesn't seem quite right either. Although the timeline of the story is rather vague, Asakusa Toru still remembers that Chihaya transferred schools around Golden Week.

If we're talking about when the story actually started, it would have started much earlier.

So it's not.

Overall, aside from the fact that C Band disbanded and had no contact with each other for a year, the pacing of Mygo's storyline is rather tight. After all, if the emotional entanglements between the girls were prolonged, they would be more difficult to resolve.

The Cold War will eventually lead to strangers.

The entire storyline will likely take only two or three months to complete.

After a brief moment of mental contemplation, Asakusa Toru took out his Personal Terminal and glanced at today's date.

May 28.

The end of May.

In any case, the band should already be formed, so it's not the day the band was officially established.

Considering that the Plot Index is linked to the importance of the plot...

Asakusa Toru had an answer in his heart.

'Live'

There are no other possibilities.

The moment when Ms. Nagasaki's emotions erupted, and the day Ms. Toyokawa applied the small pearl.

The birthdays of 'Why play Haruhikage!!!' and 'Let me forget everything'.

Otherwise, Asakusa Toru couldn't think of any day at the end of May that could make the Plot Index reach A.

The contents of this diary need to be carefully considered.

An S rating is imperative!

However, there is one more thing to consider before determining the contents of the diary.

So, whose emotions are being factored into the scoring?

The previous diary entries only counted towards the scores of students in Advanced Nurturing, so he only needed to focus on attacking other students in Advanced Nurturing.

This storyline takes place outside of school, so normally you'd expect them to attack and criticize every member of the band equally, right?

But it's hard to say.

The Diary still clearly displays the name of Classroom of the Elite after "Current Plot," so the Little Princess and the others' emotions will definitely be taken into account in the evaluation.

In addition, although the Diary said that the scope of spoilers was increased, he was still unsure of exactly how much the scope had increased, and whether he should reveal everything.

Taking all this into account, he began to hesitate.

I don't know who the diary was sent to, whether it was only sent to one person in the band, or whether everyone received a copy.

If it gets sent to Stray Cat who probably isn't interested in diaries... then we're doomed.

Not good.

The timeframe was too tight; they only told me I could write it today. That's really too much.

Couldn't you please update the game a little more and give me a preview of the Plot Index for the next few days?

This will make it easier for me to plan what I should write next.

Never mind.

It's 6 PM now.

I'll set aside half an hour to write in my diary.

Five and a half hours left for reflection.

The retrieved terminal was not put away. Asakusa Toru unlocked the terminal and opened the pinned Ms. Kushida.

[Something came up, you can deduct the money yourself today.]

In no time, the unread status changed to read, followed by a confused question mark.

[?]

Do you have another woman?

[Hello?]

I see you've read it.

[Answer]

Locking the screen and shutting down the device—all in one smooth motion.

My phone will be located when I turn it on, so I won't be going back to my dorm today.

With Master Key Card in hand, I'll find a suitable place and write in my diary with gusto.

Chapter 129 He stole her notebook

"--Why are you playing 'Haruhikage'?!"

Soaking in the bathtub, Chihaya Anon looked up at the bathroom ceiling, but the hoarse roar of Nagasaki Soyo at the end of her live performance echoed in her ears.

Why did it turn out this way?

It was their first time seriously forming a band, and their first concert, so why did it end up ending on such a sour note?

Ultimately, "Haruhikage" is just a song. Why is Sakiko so heartbroken? Why is Soyo so angry?

... I can't understand.

"Ugh, this is so annoying," Chihaya Anon sighed and reached out to brush off a handful of foam.

She submerged her hands in the bathtub again to wash away the foam, then patted her cheeks.

"Never mind, let's read the diary!"

She reached out her hand, and the Diary fell into it.

This is Diary that appeared about two months ago.

In other words, it's Diary that appeared when she was still studying in the United Kingdom.

At first Chihaya Anon thought that it was a hallucination because she couldn't understand her classmates over there and was under too much pressure.

But when she tried to open the Diary, she realized that this might not be a hallucination.

A faint scent of ink wafted from the pages. As long as she opened this Diary, even if she pretended not to hear her classmate speaking in English, no one would suspect anything. As long as she looked down at the Diary in her hands, it seemed that all her actions would be rationalized in the eyes of others.

Although she couldn't quite understand the contents of the Diary, this one effect was enough to make her very happy.

She might be the chosen one.

She sometimes thinks like that.

Of course, as the diary was updated daily, once I finally understood Diary was writing, those thoughts disappeared.

Those chosen were those who had entered Advanced Nurturing... "God-man?

Anyway, it's not someone like her who is determined to study in the United Kingdom but has such difficulty even communicating in the language.

Of course, although she was a little envious of the students who were admitted to Advanced Nurturing at first, as the diary entries came in one by one, Chihaya Anon found that she was not so envious anymore.

If I ever encountered a teacher like that, I would absolutely want to die.

Thinking about it this way, I realize I'm actually quite lucky; my friends and teachers are all great.

... Because I studied in the United Kingdom, I haven't seen any of my friends.

Perhaps I should be glad that I ultimately gave up studying abroad and escaped from the United Kingdom to come back?

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been able to meet her classmate Takamatsu Tomori, let alone form a band with her, Shiina Taki, Nagasaki Soyo, and Kaname Rana.

Not to mention performing on stage.

Today was their band's first performance. Although there were a few minor mishaps at the beginning, the performance was generally a success.

... Without considering Soyo and Sakiko, it was indeed a great success.

"Alright, alright, I said I was going to read the diary, so stop thinking about all that nonsense!" Shaking her head to clear her mind, Chihaya Anon focused her gaze intently on the Diary.

Whether a diary is interesting or not is probably a matter of personal opinion.

But without a doubt, for the vast majority of people, the greatest pleasure from reading diaries is 'spying' on other people's lives.

Through the diary, she could easily see different aspects of high school life in the words, learn about all sorts of interesting people, and feel the emotions in the diary Recorder's heart. What she saw, heard, and thought would touch her heart.

Therefore, even without the power of the 'Cognition Filter', Chihaya Anon would probably still insist on checking this diary every day, even if it might never end.

"Hmph, what will I write about today?" she muttered to herself, turning to the most recently updated page.

[Dear everyone, I left school today.]

The Diary's opening words were utterly unexpected.

Wait, didn't I remember that Advanced Nurturing was a full-boarding system where students couldn't leave the school?

Completely shocked, Chihaya Anon quickly continued looking down.

Two months after leaving school, there haven't really been any changes outside of campus, which is normal.

After all, it's only two months, not two and a half years.

Although the vocational high school was a completely closed facility, students could still access the internet and stay up-to-date with current affairs, keeping them informed about world events without leaving home.

I really enjoy this feeling, but I think it's still necessary to personally walk on this land and experience the changes firsthand.

For example, has the price of rice increased again?

I've long felt that some people in this world only know how to make rice expensive, and it seems I was right.

However, since we've made the rare trip outside the school gates, let's think about what we should do.

Should I sneak a peek at the camerawoman at Shuchiin? Or steal the second young lady's indoor shoes from Sobukou? Or perhaps...

Ah, it seems like RING next door is having a live performance. Maybe I should go check it out.

I just saw a blue-haired woman running out of RING, crying. I guess she was moved by the live performance.

It looks like it's going to be a great live performance.

I've made up my mind, I'm going to see the live performance.

Wow, they're still going on until 8:30! Live performance, awesome!

However, five and a half hours is still too long.

I might be past the age where I can fully enjoy an entire live performance.

Sad.]

Upon seeing this, Chihaya Anon's eyes widened, and she suddenly straightened her back and sat up straighter.

"Hey, did he come to RING today?! Did he see our performance?"

Is this for real? Was the person behind the Diary in the audience at the time?

... But what about the crying, blue-haired female passerby?

Could they be talking about Sakiko?

I was deeply moved by the live performance... I wish it were real.

Chihaya Anon was lost in thought, but the entries in her Diary were not yet finished.

The atmosphere was too lively, and I couldn't easily get into it. Oh well, I guess I'll skip this live performance!

... It's definitely not because of me that I discovered you can't actually use points to pay outside of school.

Haha, I don't have any cash on me.

How outrageous! So that's how it is. Is this the method the school uses to prevent students from leaving campus?!

My fists are clenched; I'm really unhappy.

I was especially unhappy when I saw a girl on the street holding a notebook and looking timid.
