Private Anon Chihaya, Receiving Your Orders!

And then... we found it.

[Mygomygomygomygomygo]

A post appeared that seemed completely inexplicable to outsiders.

AnonTokyo: [Um, well, basically, here's a description of the current situation!]

AnonTokyo: [We're having a live performance! We're playing Haruhikage! Soyo's angry and won't be coming to practice!]

AnonTokyo: [Then... I went to the rented room and saw Mr. Kiyotsugu. I chatted with him for a bit, and he talked about the dark side of the Toyokawa Kiyotsugu and then chased me away.]

AnonTokyo: [But I still managed to find out about the scam by following the name! Now, I'm a little unsure what to do.]

AnonTokyo: [So! Please help me!]

AnonTokyo: [But will people even see this post...?]

Ah, of course.

The current situation is consistent with what Asakusa Toru had previously predicted. Basically, on the same day that the declaration 'Why play Haruhikage?' was released, the Diary announced that it had entered the storyline of Mygo.

To be honest, the criteria for judging this plot at the beginning were quite subtle, and it always felt like there was no fixed basis for it.

But it doesn't matter.

In short, while there's still time, I'll write in my diary first (instruction).

Haneoka.

"... Can you really see it?"

Despite obediently creating an anonymous message board on @CH and briefly explaining the situation, Chihaya Anon still couldn't feel at ease quickly.

Was she being played?

Having read the Diary for so long, she had a general idea of what kind of person Mr. Diary was.

Compared to yesterday, he mostly spoke in a joking tone now, like the time before yesterday when he talked about turning on the lights—he was just joking around.

What if I said I wanted to help her, but it was actually a joke?

Waaah...

"Splash--"

Just as Chihaya Anon morning, the pages of her Diary were turned in a flurry.

The text appeared in a flurry of refreshes.

I'm watching.

I've finished watching it.

The fraud has nothing to do with you, and frankly, it has nothing to do with Toyokawa Sakiko either. It's just that the dim-witted Shoko is being stubborn and insists on suffering with her lazy father. She'll know how great it is when she finally gets to ride in Maybach.

The darkness of the Toyokawa family, to sum it up in one sentence, is Sakiko Toyokawa's Dark Forest —well, no, there's no real darkness or anything like that. It's not that dark at all; it's just the inevitable power struggles between factions within a large family. It doesn't feel as dramatic as watering a rival company's money tree in a real business war.

So, ignore it.

You're a beautiful high school girl (JK). Leave adult matters to adults; they're none of your business. Just make the most of your minor status and be a high school girl who can throw tantrums and act out without a care in the world until she's completely exhausted.

While writing in my diary, I realized I forgot to ask you about your purpose. Although I know your initial motivation for forming a band was vanity, things have come to this point. Even if your initial intention was something that seems difficult to say, if you truly examine your heart, you should be able to know what you really want.

Is it due to harmony within the band? Or is it because they are the center of attention?

Is it better to cherish the precious time spent in a band, a time when you can reminisce about your carefree and exuberant youth when you're working hard as an adult, leaving no regrets for your youth, or is it better to simply get rid of all those troublesome women and be the only one on stage?

Think it through, then tell me, and I'll consider what to do next.

However, before that, Private Chihaya Anon! Here comes my first instruction!

Go and follow Toyokawa Sakiko.

The Stray Cat might say he wants to play in a band, but ignore it.

Anyway, you won't practice even if there are fewer of you. Don't expect to practice just because Stray Cat comes. Just look at your Little Tomori to see if you can even practice.

If nothing unexpected happens, as you follow her, you'll eventually spot a familiar high school girl, a wealthy woman Widow. Don't rush, turn on your phone's recording function.

That's exactly what I wanted.

The pen paused briefly at first, but then quickly began to write a large amount of text.

Even just watching the text refresh and appear one paragraph at a time, Chihaya Anon could still feel an overflowing sense of freedom.

Just as he said yesterday.

He writes whatever he wants.

That's all there is to it.

"...Eh." A surprised sound escaped the girl's lips.

Her first reaction, surprisingly, was, 'They're actually watching.'

With just those two short sentences, she even had the vague illusion of someone sitting at a table, looking at her post with one hand and writing a diary entry with the other.

However, that's not the point.

What she should focus on is the response to her questions.

"..."

Waaah... "Idiot Xiang" or something like that, are you referring to Sakiko? That's such a direct insult.

Although the insults have always been this direct, this is the first time someone close to me has been insulted like this, and it feels a bit strange.

Chapter 141 Private Chihaya Anon, Receive Orders!

But that's 16.8 billion! Can't it really be okay?

Chihaya Anon is a bit hard to imagine.

Her father was defrauded of 16.8 billion yen, and the family went bankrupt, which is why Toyokawa Sakiko ended up living in such a destitute rented room with her father.

That's what she thought.

But according to the Diary, it seems... that's not the case?

Although it was a scam, it seems that Sakiko can still get into... a 'Maybach'?

That must be a really powerful luxury car, right?

Thinking about it carefully, although there was indeed a news story about being defrauded of 16.8 billion yen by the Toyokawa Group, that happened a year ago.

Even today, TGW Group is still thriving.

So, in other words... only Mr. Kiyotsugu bears the responsibility for being scammed?

Is Sakiko actually a rich girl?

Wow, it seems I've learned something incredible.

"Hehehe..." Chihaya Anon watched with great pleasure.

Knowing a secret that others are completely unaware of, and drawing a correct conclusion in one's mind based on existing information, is an addictive thing.

Especially when the object of affection is Toyokawa Sakiko.

This feeling of being able to peek into someone else's life is the greatest charm of Diary.

In particular, she could brazenly look at her diary and giggle in front of her teachers and classmates during class.

You won't get scolded at all!

With a silly grin, Chihaya Anon continued turning the page.

But she didn't understand the next paragraph.

What does it mean that the darkness of the Toyokawa family is the Sakiko Toyokawa's Dark Forest?

Oh, I just wrote this randomly. It's really just about power struggles... like those in TV dramas, right?

'You are a beautiful high school girl (JK)'

Hmph, that's right, Chihaya- sama is a beautiful girl!

Chihaya Anon raised her nose; the feeling of calling oneself a beautiful girl is completely different from being called a beautiful girl by others.

Hehehe, I'm a beautiful girl.

She straightened her back slightly, making her completely straight waistline even more upright.

But soon, that straight back bent over again.

... What is a high school girl who's completely lost her mind?

Am I really that awkward?

Honestly, I was just about to praise Mr. Diary for his good taste.

But...

Purpose.

Yes, the purpose.

At first, I didn't really want to be a serious band player.

As the diary says, the essence is vanity.

But was it really necessary to be so direct?

Waaah...

Come to think of it, there must be other people reading my diary, right? I have this unsettling feeling that it's being laid bare and displayed to everyone.

Well, even though I was just a bystander watching him pry open people before, even if I were the one involved, I wouldn't really have the right to say such things.

I've known for a long time that I'm vain!

I don't really intend to go deep into the band; I just treat it as part of my social life. I practice in moderation, learn only to a certain extent, and always focus on things that I can talk about more.

Taki had already mentioned these things.

I did not run away.

I'm just running away.

But things are different now.

From the day I decided to do a live performance, my original 'intention' quietly changed.

What do I really want right now...?

"..."

Harmony? Or the spotlight?

Ultimately, what are you really thinking when you give your name?

Is it a desire to let more people see one's brilliance and activity, and to enjoy the feeling of shining in the eyes of special people who also have Diary?

Or is it...?

--I want the band to stay together.

Subconsciously, this answer came to the girl's mind.

Although this nameless band has all sorts of problems, this is, in any case, the first time she has started to do something so seriously.

Practice your instrument diligently and pay attention to the emotions and attitudes of the other members of the band.

The first time I stepped onto the stage to perform, I watched the audience cheer for me.

I just don't want this to end.

There's no need to overthink it; there's no need to put yourself in shackles.

Youth and regrets are nothing compared to the simple phrase, "I like it."

Yes, I am a high school girl who can let her imagination run wild, act out, and throw tantrums without a care in the world.

So what?
