"No, I have to stop her."

She looked at Miyauchi Hiyage and thanked him.

In any case, Miyauchi Hiyage led her to discover this Diary, which then awakened her and made her remember the truth of what happened back then.

Although the final outcome may not change, she will ultimately be unable to avoid being devoured by Shadow Yuuko.

But at least she was able to do these things while remaining clear-headed and guided by her beliefs.

Then, she warned Miyauchi Hiyage: "You should leave here as soon as possible. I can't guarantee your safety right now."

"I know you seem to know quite a few powerful Exorcists. If I fail, I hope you can tell them about that 'me' so they can exorcise it before it poses a greater threat."

As she said this, Kanoe Yuko paused for a moment and then made another decision.

"Although you may not be able to see it, I've decided to leave it here with you."

"If this thing falls into the hands of that 'me,' it might only make things worse."

She took out the Diary she had just acquired, walked up to Miyauchi Hiyage, and carefully placed it in his hands.

At the same time, Miyauchi Hiyage also received a notification.

"A Diary holder has been detected voluntarily relinquishing ownership of the Diary. Should we proactively reclaim the Diary?"

Chapter 183: The Transfer of Ownership of the Diary

He watched as Kanoe Yuko placed the Diary from her hand directly into his backpack, and then listened to the notification sound in his ear.

Miyauchi Hiyage couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I've been keeping Diary for over a month, and it's been a week or two since I confronted Shiina Mashiro. I never imagined there were so many rules for Diary.

First, you can directly recycle unclaimed Diary and completely arrange the ownership of the Diary yourself.

Now, there are new options for Diary to be relinquished by Diary owners, allowing them to transfer Diary to others.

I just don't know if there are any other restrictions on this transfer.

At least for now, it seems that Kanoe Yuko can indeed transfer ownership of the Diary to him.

However, since he was originally the owner of the Diary, after acquiring ownership of Kanoe Yuko's Diary, he returned to a stage where he could freely distribute unclaimed Diary to other people.

He probably couldn't use this method to earn rewards for writing in his diary while simultaneously gaining Reading Points by reading it.

Could this thing have the same rules as that "Death Notebook" that automatically erases all memories related to the Diary the holder chooses to relinquish ownership?

As she pondered this, Miyauchi Hiyage's mind raced, trying to figure out if there was anything she could do with the Diary in this regard.

However, we can discuss these matters with Shiina Mashiro when we return to Tokyo.

Let's deal with Kanoe Yuko's situation first.

To avoid the possibility that once he regains ownership of the Diary, Kanoe Yuko might be devoured by Shadow Yuuko because she loses the protection of the Diary.

When confronted with the question of ownership of the recycling Diary that popped into her mind, Miyauchi Hiyage did not respond immediately.

Let's leave this diary in his schoolbag for now.

He looked at Kanoe Yuko in front of him.

He explained to the other party that there was an Exorcists he had hired in the Old Schoolhouse, and that if they could find the other party's help, they should be able to stop Shadow Yuuko's actions.

He had just briefly activated his Destiny skill when he quickly scanned the entire school.

Kanoe Shizuuko, with a death wish on her face, is trying to seize control of the Hiiragi Inori Ley Line from Shadow Yuuko. Itou Kaiji is becoming more and more energetic because he is too nervous.

And Kanoe Kirie, who was also shrouded in dark energy.

It's clear that, unable to merge with Kanoe Yuko's original body, Shadow Yuuko not only coveted his body but also set her sights on Kanoe Kirie, a substitute who resembled Kanoe Shizuuko.

She probably wanted to take over the other person's body, and through the Kanoe Family bloodline in the other person, break free from the constraints that confined her to the school and allow her to escape.

Of course, she probably also wanted to control Kanoe Kirie's body to kill Kanoe Shizuuko, so that Kanoe Shizuuko would feel despair again before her death, thus satisfying her desire for revenge.

After hearing Miyauchi Hiyage's guess, Kanoe Yuko nodded with a serious expression.

"I'll go find that Ms. Hiiragi Inori now."

Lacking any real power, she can only hope that Ms. Hiiragi Inori can handle her.

She has now moved the Diary to Miyauchi Hiyage's backpack. If that other self suddenly turns around and makes a comeback, the Diary might be able to save the other person's life.

After reiterating that Miyauchi Hiyage should leave immediately, Kanoe Yuko, who had previously moved around on her legs like an ordinary person, finally revealed her ghostly side at this moment. She floated one or two feet off the ground and quickly headed towards the Old Schoolhouse.

With the departure of the two Yukos, the grove finally fell silent once more.

Only Miyauchi Hiyage and Fujimiya Miki remained.

Half a minute later, Fujimiya Miki whispered to Miyauchi Hiyage, asking what they should do now.

"Let's explain this to Mr. Nanami in Tokyo first. Ms. Hiiragi Inori hasn't shown up yet, and we don't know what the situation is like on their end," Miyauchi Hiyage said, then took out his phone.

As expected, the phone is currently showing no signal.

After all, Shadow Yuuko is a super-level Vengeful Spirit. Previously, due to Kanoe Yuko's suppression, she was unable to unleash her full power.

But now, Shadow Yuuko no longer suppresses her power.

Judging from the way she was sensed by Kanoe Shizuuko as soon as she entered the school gate, it seems that the Seiwa Academy is currently filled with the other party's negative emotions.

In a sense, this should also be considered the prototype of Shadow Yuuko's domain.

If she successfully devours Kanoe Yuko and advances to a Special Grade Vengeful Spirit, she should be able to fully awaken her domain power.

Domains... Thinking about the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, the author added a lot of enhancement buffs to this thing, the most crucial of which is the effect that spells will always hit within the domain.

This is practically an ability the author added on a whim, just to make the domain stronger than other similar abilities, without much thought.

In contrast, the status of Reality Marble, which have a similar form of display to Domain Expansion but lack the rule of guaranteed hit, seems somewhat delicate in this world.

In Domain Expansion, Reality Marble seem to have only the advantages of better enclosure and that activating Reality Marble will not affect the real world.

Of course, if the Reality Marble can truly form a mental world independent of the real world, then that dimension will naturally be higher than the Domain Expansion, and its upper limit will also be higher.

However, the best-case scenario is to combine the two forces and first create a Reality Marble that is independent of the world, ensuring that no one can enter or destroy the Reality Marble from the outside.

Then, activate the Domain Expansion effect within this Reality Marble.

Isn't a bounded Reality Marble with a guaranteed hit effect great?

Putting everything else aside, if Red Archer were to get Unlimited Blade Works with its guaranteed hit effect, his strength would instantly rise to another level.

The dog, which was originally supposed to be countered by Red Archer in terms of elemental affinity, was about to be completely crushed by Red Archer.

After all, only one of the dog's guns has a guaranteed hit effect, and even then, it's the kind where you can rely on luck to dodge vitals. It's far different from the fact that all the Noble Phantasms in the world have a guaranteed hit effect.

In addition, there's the illusion collapse that triggers Noble Phantasms, which can be countered by entities that also possess Reality Marble or have higher sustain than Unlimited Blade Works, as well as opponents who can forcibly break through Reality Marble.

Even top-tier Servants would probably question their existence when faced with the guaranteed Unlimited Blade Works.

The same applies to Jujutsu Kaisen.

In the early stages of Jujutsu Kaisen, players can rely on various spells and pre-prepared tactics to fight.

And then we got to the later parts.

Without a domain, or rather, without a way to counter a domain, even a level one mage is not much different from a roadside nobody.

The guaranteed hit effect in the field alone is a power that even a group of first-level mages would have to exert all their strength to deal with.

Then, based on this, when facing an opponent who also controls the Domain Expansion and whose guaranteed hit effect is neutralized, a special buff was created that allows the user to choose to remove the guaranteed hit effect and abandon the field's closed nature, thereby enhancing the field's power.

Faced with this special mechanism where the author didn't put any thought into it and just filled in random information, this is why Miyauchi Hiyage was so focused on obtaining the ability to draw prizes through targeted lottery, and the first thing he had to do was create a similar ability.

Miyauchi Hiyage didn't want to spend half a day stacking up stats only to be killed by the dungeon's mechanics at the end; that would be ridiculous.

Musing to herself, Miyauchi Hiyage looked at Fujimiya Miki in front of her again.

After realizing that the phone had no signal, the other person didn't seem particularly frightened. They were still pressed tightly against his back, staring at him expectantly.

Noticing the look in Miyauchi Hiyage's eyes, Fujimiya Miki still didn't let go.

"You've remained so calm from the beginning until now. Given your personality, you wouldn't be so composed if you hadn't prepared in advance."

Fujimiya Miki still remembers that when they first started filming the video, Miyauchi Hiyage was a little nervous because he had no experience.

After a period of trial and error, Miyauchi Hiyage found her direction, and afterwards, she became much more confident and almost never showed any signs of nervousness again.

Although the current situation is rather special, Fujimiya Miki, who grew up with Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage, is unlikely to be wrong about this.

Miyauchi Hiyage must have had the composure to survive, at least enough to keep his life from the oppressive vengeful Vengeful Spirit of Yuuko.

Even when Kanoe Yuko suddenly said something strange, saying that she wanted to leave something for them that they might not see or notice.

Fujimiya Miki instinctively sensed that the Miyauchi Hiyage seemed to be quite... For a moment, his thoughts became very unpredictable, as if he knew that Kanoe Yuko had left something for them.

Of course, it was only for that one instant that she noticed something amiss, pressed against the Miyauchi Hiyage.

This was only possible because she was extremely familiar with the Miyauchi Hiyage.

So, what is Miyauchi Hiyage trying to hide?

The thought lingered in Fujimiya Miki's mind for two seconds before she suppressed it.

Then, Fujimiya Miki gave Miyauchi Hiyage a look that said, "No matter what you do, I will believe you unconditionally."

"Your intuition is really sharp. I should have kept my distance from you when we were kids," Miyauchi Hiyage sighed helplessly.

Because of his deliberate training, Fujimiya Miki's abilities have basically been developed.

Especially his reaction; the two who grew up together hardly needed to even exchange a glance.

A simple gesture of reassurance, or even just a glimpse of someone's back, can reveal a great deal to the other person.

That's why Miyauchi Hiyage said that if the other party got hold of the Diary, they would probably only need to read a few entries to have a clear understanding of the situation.

As it stands, Fujimiya Miki hasn't even received the Diary yet, and information related to the Diary is being automatically filtered out.

Under such circumstances, she noticed his pretense through some subtle abnormalities in her own behavior.

Upon hearing Miyauchi Hiyage's exclamation, Fujimiya Miki simply offered a smile.

"I'll explain these things to you when I have the chance. Let's get you out of here first," Miyauchi Hiyage said, then put his arm around Fujimiya Miki.

"I just learned this move myself. According to the situation over there, I just completed my awakening not long ago, so I'm not sure if it will work well. Anyway, just hold me tight for now."

Even without Miyauchi Hiyage's prompting, Fujimiya Miki was already tightly embracing Miyauchi Hiyage.

The next moment, Miyauchi Hiyage activated the Fate skill once again.

If Shadow Yuuko has already mastered the Domain Expansion, then he probably won't be able to break through the opponent's domain using the Card Master's Fate skill.

Just like when Card Master is locked onto by Mordekaiser's or Camille's ultimate, he cannot use his own ultimate to break through the opponent's ultimate.

However, at present, Shadow Yuuko has only touched the threshold of the domain and has no way to restrict Miyauchi Hiyage's spiritual power from spreading outward.

Especially since Miyauchi Hiyage had almost condensed his spiritual power into a single line and radiated it out at a very small angle, he easily locked onto an inconspicuous place outside the Seiwa Academy, even though Shadow Yuuko had already decided to target Kanoe Kirie.

Nestled in Miyauchi Hiyage's arms, he felt an unprecedented power coursing through his body.

The next moment, about two or three seconds later.

Fujimiya Miki was trying to carefully sense this power, she felt Miyauchi Hiyage release her.

She looked up in confusion at the Miyauchi Hiyage.

What I saw was a glint of light in the other person's eyes.

What's even more unbelievable is that in those few short seconds, they appeared directly from the back mountain of the Seiwa Academy in a deserted alleyway a few hundred meters away from the school.

"This is..." Fujimiya Miki looked at all of this in surprise.

Is this the power that Miyauchi Hiyage gained in this month?

Despite having witnessed the reality of ghosts firsthand, and even seeing the strange phenomenon of a person's soul splitting into two individuals, one good and one bad, right from the start.

But seeing her childhood sweetheart, whom she had known for over ten years, suddenly become a part of that world, still gave her a feeling of being in another world.

Then, she heard Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage muttering in her ear, "It seems that teleporting people only consumes twice the Mana, but there are no other effects."
