Thor's Identity / Two Bald Monks

As if sensing Miyauchi Hiyage's presence, Kanoe Yuko appeared before them as they entered the gates of the Seiwa Academy, greeting them with a smile.

After calming down for several days, and learning from the Shinto that their goal was to worship her as a new god, Kanoe Yuko now seemed more intellectual than before, and a faint trace of divinity emanated from her.

Of course, these divine qualities were not something that Miyauchi Hiyage himself felt, but rather a reminder from the Holy Sword Loli in his mind.

As for the Holy Sword consciousness that had settled in his mind and was now his possession, unable to resist him, Miyauchi Hiyage did indeed fulfill his promise. Even when writing in his diary, he did not avoid letting her see the whole truth.

Seemingly accepting that her fate was inextricably linked to that of Miyauchi Hiyage, after learning that Miyauchi Hiyage was a transmigrator from another world and feeling the astonishing power of that mysterious Diary, although she had not completely changed her mindset, she began to try to have some positive communication with Miyauchi Hiyage and to see this chaotic world through Miyauchi Hiyage's eyes.

Silently thanking the Holy Sword Loli in his mind, Miyauchi Hiyage looked at Kanoe Yuko had already undergone many changes.

I wonder how much the other person will change after becoming a true god?

However, compared to the original story where she put aside all hatred for love and became the male protagonist's guardian spirit, entangled with him for a lifetime, this ending where she becomes a deity and is worshipped is probably not so bad for Kanoe Yuko.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, I've been quite busy with various gatherings and get-togethers, so my updates have been a bit lacking. I'm really sorry.

Chapter 221: Tohru's Identity

The reason I brought Shinomiya Kaguya with me this time is twofold: first, to see what answer Kanoe Yuko gives, and second, to introduce Kanoe Yuko, the former owner of the Diary, to Shinomiya Kaguya.

Kanoe Yuko is still nominally the owner of the Diary, but as long as she hasn't completely severed ties with Shadow Yuuko, the ownership of the Diary can switch back and forth between the two ghosts.

Miyauchi Hiyage wanted to see what kind of sparks could fly between Shinomiya Kaguya and Kanoe Yuko under these circumstances.

He introduced Kanoe Yuko to Shinomiya Kaguya and then asked her for her opinion on the video.

After pondering for a few days, and with Kanoe Kirie's request, Kanoe Yuko naturally chose to reveal the whole truth.

This is fair to everyone.

It remains to be seen whether Kanoe Shizuuko, who is currently lying unconscious in the hospital, will be able to wake up again after this incident and confess her past sins to everyone.

Even if they did that, it probably wouldn't make Shadow Yuuko disappear.

After all, besides wanting to take revenge on Kanoe Shizuuko and her descendants, Shadow Yuuko's resentment also stemmed from wanting to make Kanoe Yuko, the original body, feel her pain during the half-century of hardship.

Even if Kanoe Shizuuko admits her mistake, Kanoe Yuko is almost a god now. If Shadow Yuuko finds out about this, she will probably only harbor more resentment.

Since he wasn't the main character of this meeting, when Kanoe Yuko shifted the topic to him and asked about the situation in Chichibu City a few days ago, Miyauchi Hiyage used the excuse that a confidentiality agreement had been signed for those matters to leave the stage to Shinomiya Kaguya and Kanoe Yuko.

After hearing the introduction about Shinomiya Kaguya, Kanoe Yuko didn't seem very interested.

After all, the Shinomiya Family was still relatively unknown in her time.

In her time, the most famous conglomerate in Japan was probably the Karasuma Conglomerate.

The Suzuki Conglomerate, the Shinomiya Conglomerate, the Sanzennin Conglomerate, and so on were all new forces that emerged after the collapse of the Karasuma Conglomerate.

All she wanted to know now was Shadow Yuuko's whereabouts and whether Shadow Yuuko would use her mysterious Diary for some bad purpose.

Shinomiya Kaguya, however, was carefully examining Kanoe Yuko in front of her.

She's such a beautiful ghost girl.

The clear eyes showed no signs that the other person had lived for more than half a century; it seemed that their mind had remained at the moment of death.

In addition, her memories after becoming a ghost are periodically cleared and transferred to the memory trash can of Shadow Yuuko, which means that apart from being able to smoothly recall her memories from her previous life through the ability of her Diary, Kanoe Yuko doesn't have many other memories left.

Before arriving here, Miyauchi Hiyage had already explained to her in detail the past experiences of this Kanoe Yuko.

She knew how this ghost, who had been wandering the world for more than half a century, was killed by his own sister, and she also knew that in order to cover up his murderous intent towards his sister, he split himself into two different individuals, one good and one bad.

What she suspected was that this guy initially had the protection of the Diary to withstand Shadow Yuuko's attack, but then lost ownership of the Diary in subsequent encounters, which led to Shadow Yuuko taking the Diary away.

She came specifically to confirm this.

It could be said that as soon as Kanoe Yuko appeared in front of her, she took out her Diary to check if the other party had any reaction.

However, it seems the You Know Who did not deceive them on this point; the holders of different batches of Diary also shield each other.

Neither Miyauchi Hiyage nor Kanoe Yuko reacted to the small black notebook in her hand, nor did they respond to her words about the Diary.

Over the past day, Miyauchi Hiyage had secretly tested her dozens of times, and so far, Miyauchi Hiyage had not revealed a single flaw, nor had she cast a single glance at the Diary in her hand.

The 5% probability has decreased slightly again.

As for Kanoe Yuko, she hadn't reacted much at first, but as Shinomiya Kaguya kept bringing up the Diary in a roundabout way, she realized that the strange girl's purpose in talking to her didn't seem as simple as Miyauchi Hiyage's.

However, due to the Diary's blocking mechanism, their conversations always had difficulty proceeding smoothly.

Shinomiya Kaguya was talking about her Diary, but it was being ignored by Kanoe Yuko, and Kanoe Yuko's explanations also failed to reach Shinomiya Kaguya's ears.

The two people were seriously discussing the same thing, but they couldn't reach any consensus.

As for Miyauchi Hiyage, he played the role of a proper bystander. Even though he knew everything, he pretended not to understand anything. Later, in order to avoid being dragged by the two women to play a puzzle game with them, he simply ran up the mountain to investigate the construction work of the new shrine.

However, Shinomiya Kaguya does have a brain after all.

Although the two sides always had disagreements during the conversation, they confirmed that the other side did indeed have a mysterious item that no one else could see, touch, or understand. And that the item was indeed stolen by Shadow Yuuko, who almost killed Miyauchi Hiyage because of it.

The other party's incoherent tone made it even clearer that there was something wrong with them; otherwise, communication wouldn't have been so difficult.

Even if a normal person hears her censored words, they will either distort them into more normal words or simply ignore them. This situation only occurs when two people who are censoring each other are chatting.

These things can be written down, and can be used as a basis for judgment when facing other second batch of Diary holders in the future.

However, that's about it for Kanoe Yuko's chat.

After all, the Diary is no longer in Kanoe Yuko's hands, so even if she is very curious about what the You Know Who has written in the Diary these days, she has no way of knowing from Kanoe Yuko.

She did want to add Kanoe Yuko to the group chat so they could communicate any ideas they had, but the other person didn't have a phone yet, and there was also the possibility that the other person wouldn't be able to be added to their group chat.

Therefore, Shinomiya Kaguya simply left her personal contact information with Kanoe Yuko so that she could contact her later when she had a mobile phone.

On the way back to Asahigaoka that afternoon, while discussing with Miyauchi Hiyage the video of Kanoe Yuko and the "mysterious cursed tool" that Shadow Yuuko had taken away, Shinomiya Kaguya's Diary was updated.

Shinomiya Kaguya confirmed that she had been talking to Miyauchi Hiyage the whole time, and Himakage's thinking was very clear, without any pauses or hesitations.

The only question is, why did the You Know Who suddenly post their diary entry this afternoon?

Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at Miyauchi Hiyage, who was still analyzing the "cursed artifact," apologized to Miyauchi Hiyage, and said that she remembered some things to take care of. Then she took out her phone and Diary and started flipping through them.

After looking at it this way, Shinomiya Kaguya knew what was going on.

Yesterday, the You Know Who claimed that he was on vacation at home, casually using a few episodes from Detective Conan to pad his word count, and asking people to guess who the murderer was. He also said that if the selected commenter guessed correctly, they would receive a mysterious reward.

The person chosen was Takanashi Rikka.

She didn't care who the murderer was.

Having already gone to great lengths to stop her uncle from taking his entire family on a honeymoon abroad, all she wanted to know now was whether she could become a modern-day dragon knight. She even wrote Tohru's name directly in the message.

Then, the diary entry written by the You Know Who today is about the dragon named Tohru.

I had even come up with the idea of giving everyone something interesting as a reward to stimulate their detective minds, but when I woke up, I found a completely unrelated message.

In short, you won't be receiving the gift I carefully prepared, Evil Eye. Congratulations!

But the dragon you mentioned, it's called 'Tohru', right?

I don't know where you got this name from. Has she already come into this world?

Or is she also the owner of the Diary, defying fate to arrive in this world early and contact one of you?

Whatever the situation, I really need to pay attention to it, after all, Tohru and the forces behind him are really powerful.

Let me tell you about Tohru's situation first.

The other world she lives in is a Japanese-style Western fantasy world where gods, Dragon Clan, and humans are engaged in a war that has lasted for tens of thousands of years.

Tohru is the daughter of the dragon known as the End Emperor, who is the leader of the chaotic forces in that world. She possesses immense power, and I remember that in the lore, she has lived for tens of thousands of years.

Anyway, dragons in that world can basically live for hundreds of thousands of years, so her tens of thousands of years old is roughly equivalent to the Dragon Clan that has just come of age.

Then Tohru, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, grew tired of the endless wars and, because of the limitations of his identity, could not escape his responsibilities, so he simply went and challenged all the gods by himself.

The final result was that Tohru was pierced by the Dragonslaying Holy Sword created by the gods and was on the verge of death.

Then, due to the spatial turbulence caused by her battle with the gods, a modern woman, in a drunken state, traveled to that world, pulled out the holy sword, saved Tohru, and then, still drunk, went on a rampage with a dragon, venting her emotions wildly.

In the end, Tohru fell in love with the woman who saved him, abandoned his duties, and chose to follow her to the modern world, content to be her Dragon Maid.

Yes, this is a slice-of-life yuri anime that was quite popular in my past life.

But I'm even more curious about where you heard the name Tohru.

After all, once the other party arrives in the modern world, they should cast a confusion spell on themselves and only reveal their true form to their own people.

Even if the other party is the holder of the Diary, wouldn't the two groups of holders be mutually shielded and excluded? How did you confirm the other party's identity so quickly?

Did one of you travel to another world with Kobayashi and rescue Tohru?

If that's really the case, then you guys are incredibly awesome.

Although Tohru, this female dragon, is a top-tier love-obsessed person, she is actually quite reliable outside of romance, and her network of connections is strong enough, with all the people she knows being influential figures.

If you can gain her approval, then as long as she remains in this world, you basically won't need to worry about your safety. She might even casually reveal some information that could help you become a Level 1 or even a Special Level.

However, if you want to become a dragon knight, given Tohru's loyalty, if she still loves Kobayashi, then you basically have no chance. But if you have a good enough relationship with Tohru and can win the right to raise another baby dragon from her in the future, you might still have a chance.

In short, becoming a dragon knight in modern times is quite difficult. After all, most of the dragons in this world have disappeared, and the few dragons that can come to this world are not weak. It takes a bit of luck to build good relationships with them and become a dragon knight.

I finally got to go home and rest for a few days, but I never expected to miss such a big event.

Although I hadn't considered having Kobayashi subdue Tohru beforehand, nor was I confident I could draw the Holy Sword to save Tohru, I still felt a little regretful that I missed the opportunity to have a Dragon Maid.

I'll do some more research and see if I still have a chance to adopt that baby dragon.

Oh, I'll also go next door and check if Tohru is the owner of the second batch of Diary. If I find out, I'll just go and confront her and beg for her help.

Okay, that's all for today. I have to get back to searching for the dragon. See you all tomorrow!

I finished reading this diary with mixed feelings.

Although Honma Meiko had already revealed Tohru's identity, Shinomiya Kaguya's feelings were still somewhat complicated after seeing the original story of Tohru written by the You Know Who.

A dragon girl who has lived for tens of thousands of years was just tired of war and wanted to fight the gods to the death, but then she fell in love with a human woman because of the life-saving grace, and thus began a yuri daily life.

This seems a little outrageous, doesn't it?

However, it seems the story has taken a dramatic turn.

She didn't know who Kobayashi was. There are over a million people in Japan with the surname Kobayashi alone, so you definitely couldn't find anyone by just one surname. But that had nothing to do with Kobayashi.

After all, the two people who saved Tohru were Honma Meiko and Miyauchi Hiyage, who was standing next to her.

Since Tohru is now with Miyauchi Hiyage, could it be that Miyauchi Hiyage saved her and won her heart?

Chapter 222: Two Bald Monks

When the scheduled release time for the Diary arrived, Miyauchi Hiyage glanced at Shinomiya Kaguya beside her. Her body stiffened noticeably for a moment, and then she abruptly changed the subject, taking out the Diary and starting to read it.

So, now that you know Tohru's situation, what are you going to do?

Miyauchi Hiyage thought to himself.

However, given her personality, she'll probably still secretly finish everything before posting what she's done in the Chat Group.

Anyway, she hasn't mentioned in the Chat Group that she secretly came to see him, or that she met Kanoe Yuko this morning.

Even if they know about Tohru now, they'll probably try to contact him after returning to Asahigaoka.

However, even I, his savior, am still being watched by Tohru. It would be strange if Shinomiya Kaguya, a girl with no less cunning than herself, could gain Tohru's trust in such a short time.

Meanwhile, Shinomiya Kaguya closed her Diary, took a deep breath, and lowered her opinion again on the possibility that Miyauchi Hiyage was a "You Know Who."

Then her heart started racing slightly. Although the matter of Tohru had been discussed in the group for a day or two, Honma Meiko. She had already had some expectations about Tohru's strength and background.

Judging from the descriptions in the Diary, Tohru seems to be involved in much more, and it seems that more dragons will cross the barriers between worlds to come to their world in the future.

The You Know Who even directly mentioned a young dragon that seemed easier to approach.

If she could find a way to get in touch with these dragons, even just to become familiar with them, it would probably bring her immeasurable benefits.

Tohru's strength and background were beyond her imagination. As long as she could get involved with him, it would bring her great help.

The person who saved Tohru, Miyauchi Hiyage, was right beside her, and Honma Meiko was also considered her friend.

By cleverly utilizing this relationship, even if one cannot directly gain Tohru's friendship, one can at least leave an impression on her.

After all, she wasn't the one who saved Tohru, so she wouldn't have been able to get a piece of the pie long ago. Following behind them and getting some scraps, she could continue to use the Shinomiya Family's power in the Front World to help these people with their identity and household registration issues, and in exchange for a favor, she wouldn't lose out.
