Sakayanagi Arisu's Humming and Grumbling

So, take a look at the comments.

"... Don't you want it to end?"

It seems like things are getting really messy.

That's true. In essence, Chihaya Anon is just a female high school student, and the things she desires are only at this level.

Well, let's think about it.

How can I show her a clear path?

May 31st.

The last day of the month was the most restless day for the students in the class.

Following on from the above, a whole month of classes came to an end, the tense and exciting midterm exams where failing meant expulsion, and the days of tightening my purse strings and running out of food were over.

Looking ahead, tomorrow marks the start of a new month, bringing a large sum of points to spend, a welcome respite from a long drought.

Today is also a rather special day for Shiina Hiyori.

Today marks the second full month since she received the Diary.

Yesterday's Reading Points totaled 61. If I update my diary again today, I'll reach 62 points.

The message function was opened at 31:00. Although only one message can be left, it is still a new change for the Diary.

She had been looking forward to what new changes would appear in her Diary by the end of the second month.

But the closer it got to the expected day, the worse her mood became.

Ever since the day she received a reply with her own name on her message, Ms. Shiina Hiyori had been waiting for someone to write something about her.

I was nervous at first, of course.

After all, there are precedents; none of those caught making diary entries or critical reviews received positive feedback.

Bystanders may find it entertaining, but if they were actually the ones being pointed at and judged, the experience might be quite different.

That's why she gets nervous.

But amidst the nervousness, a feeling of anticipation naturally arises in my heart.

The observer becomes part of the story, becoming the subject being narrated.

She was so excited!

He imagines what he will be called, what he will be judged, and what the future, which may or may not have happened, will look like in his eyes.

But... this guy never wrote about himself.

Every day when she looks at her diary, all Shiina Hiyori can feel is disappointment.

Not to mention, he even left school to go see a live performance just a few days ago?!

...?

How could this be?

What about those who Advanced Nurturing? What about my situation?

As if he had completely forgotten about it, he spent three days in a row writing about the Girl Band.

If it were explained more clearly, it might be better; she could treat it as a complete and interesting story.

But the diary entries from the past two days have been like encrypted communications, filled with words she can't understand at all!

What is Penguin Man? And what is Pink Milk Dragon?

I don't understand!

Waaah...

If you're going to write something, please explain it clearly before you start...

Lying face down on the table, head resting on her left hand, Shiina Hiyori flipped through her Diary with her right hand.

Yes, whether or not she writes about herself is secondary; at most, it will only make her feel a little regretful.

What truly upset her was the kind of encrypted conversation revealed in her recent diary entries... completely disregarding the feelings of other readers, speaking in a way that only the two of them could understand.

Maybach, Toyokawa Sakiko, bands, the Widow...

Fragmented words, incomplete information.

... an incomplete story.

He's watching.

He finished reading it.

What are you looking at?

Message?

Why haven't I seen any updates to the comments?

"..."

Shiina Hiyori's breathing was even, her gaze fixed on the Diary in her hands, but she never focused on any of the words on any page.

My thoughts are wandering, my attention is scattered.

For no apparent reason, the girl thought of her own message.

At that moment, she wondered why everyone else's comments received a lot of likes, but hers was completely ignored, as if no one had seen it at all.

Moreover, to this day, no one has bothered her.

Not to mention other unexposed copy holders, even the most vocal Little Princess, Sakayanagi Arisu, hasn't contacted her.

Considering the current state of encrypted communication.

It's not hard for Shiina Hiyori to guess that it wasn't that others weren't interested in her.

Rather, no one else saw the message he wrote.

Not to mention the reply that clearly stated "Shiina Hiyori".

Similarly, in the diaries of the past two days, there must have been some members of the Girl Band consisting of Penguin Man and Pink Milk Dragon who contacted him through these unseen Diary.

"..."

The blocked train of thought suddenly cleared up, and the clever mind quickly arrived at the answer.

But... so what?

Whether or not she displays other people's comments is beyond her control, and what content they write is also beyond her control.

The only opportunity to leave a message to express her opinion was also used up by the question she most wanted to know.

... unless she can find out the other person's true identity.

Chapter 145 Sakayanagi Arisu humming and whining

Shiina Hiyori doesn't understand, Shiina Hiyori is unhappy.

Our Little Princess was also in a bad mood, of course.

Although I told myself to relax a little and not take everything in the diary too seriously, and although I said I still had three years of high school to play around with this guy.

But, but, but--

I just can't help but watch it!

Waaah...

Go and spy on this guy's records of his life, go and spy on his every word and action.

Opening my diary every day has long become a habit.

I feel uneasy if I don't read my diary.

Once we find that guy, we'll force him to come up with more interesting content every day. If he can't, we'll whip him a couple of times!

Hmm to herself, Sakayanagi Arisu unconsciously reached for her Diary again.

Even though nothing was wrong, and her diary hadn't been updated, her hand would sometimes unconsciously reach for the Diary.

Like some people, even though no one will send them messages, they always focus their attention on their phones while doing other things, afraid of missing any messages from others.

They may share the same mentality.

Sakayanagi Arisu: "..."

Only...

"... This guy is still writing about that Girl Band."

Sakayanagi Arisu pouted as she flipped through her Diary.

Although I've only been writing for three days, it's amazing that I've been writing for three days!

And judging from yesterday's diary entry, it seems it's been more than three days!

Today will probably still be the day performed by those female band members.

The thought of this made Sakayanagi Arisu furious.

What kind of beautiful high school girl (JK) is she?! She's never been praised like that before!

She was seething with hatred, her teeth clenched, and the Little Princess whimpered... She opened her Diary again.

How boring!

Classes are so boring.

It was even more boring, especially when everyone around you was such a good student.

The course content was insignificant to her; she had already mastered it.

But to talk about blatantly skipping class and being absent without permission...

Then all she could say was, if you don't want to continue being the class leader and want to throw away all your cards, then go ahead and run away.

Just like Koenji from Class D, as long as you don't care about these things, then none of it matters.

But she can't help but care.

She wants to prove that only a natural genius like herself is a true genius, and to do that, she needs to ensure she has the cards she can play when the time comes to actually do something.

Those in the class who follow my Sakayanagi Faction are the easiest hand to secure.

In order to maintain her position as leader, she had to abide by the rules and act within them.

Attend classes and listen to lectures; no one may be absent without a valid reason.

While it's okay to be a little willful occasionally and skip swimming lessons using a heart condition as an excuse, not every lesson can be skipped using a heart condition as a pretext.

Skipping too often will also result in points being deducted, and the classmates will have complaints. If they have complaints, they may not obediently and unconditionally listen to you.

... But it was still boring after all.

It's boring, uninteresting, and I can't muster any enthusiasm for it.

The real stage for me to shine, the Special Exam class competition, is still a long way off. In the meantime, I can only stay in class with the other students.

That's why she frequently pays attention to her Diary, the only thing that can bring her some joy and evoke some emotion.

Even if it's really annoying.

But she just couldn't help reaching out to flip through the Diary again and again.

After all, the 'Cognition Filter' only works when her Diary is read, and only then will others ignore her undisciplined behavior and the surveillance overlook her attitude, which could easily have earned her serious demerits for her conduct.

"Toyokawa Sakiko..." the girl mumbled, uttering the name.

She was not familiar with Toyokawa Sakiko.

But she was not unfamiliar with the Toyokawa Group.

The group, whose power was held by "sons-in-law" for two consecutive generations, was defrauded of 16.8 billion last year.

As a joke, it is indeed one that can make people laugh out loud.
