Wanting Miyauchi Hiyage to Become Her Underling
In comparison, these physical techniques that allow one to exert strength with bare hands are quite impressive.
There are quite a few people who practice physical skills in the Jujutsu High, but those are just the basics. The physical skill styles of their respective families are not so easy to learn.
Even though Shinomiya Kaguya has the power of money, if she is unwilling to sign any binding agreements, she only gains some non-core skills.
Now, the You Know Who is being exceptionally generous in dissecting the core techniques of an entire martial arts school and teaching them to them. This is naturally enough to significantly boost the combat power of the girls who possess the Diary in a short period of time.
The next day, unsurprisingly, many girls stayed up all night.
The Chat Group was buzzing with discussions about the routines of the Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts from midnight last night until I went to school this morning.
Every girl who lives alone has been practicing Kusanagi Style martial arts since last night.
After all, apart from those essential fire-based ultimate techniques, there are no barriers to mastering the regular moves and external styles of this thing. As long as one's physique is sufficient, one can master it. Therefore, it is natural to use Reading Points to increase proficiency.
Like Ripple Breathing, one Reading Points is equivalent to a week's worth of proficiency for an average person during normal cultivation, plus an additional increase in physical constitution.
After a month of accumulation, the first batch of Diary holders also have access to commissioned tasks to earn Reading Points, so they will all have at least a dozen Reading Points to deal with unexpected situations.
Someone like Shiina Mashiro, with hundreds of Reading Points, and with Miyauchi Hiyage's close guidance, can master some classic combos from the game in just one night.
She can even unleash some barely noticeable flames by coordinating with Ripple Breathing. Once Miyauchi Hiyage helps her complete a few more tasks to increase her Reading Points, she will be able to steadily reach the second level of strength.
Even Shiina Mashiro stayed up until 3 a. m., so it goes without saying that the other girls did as well.
Even Haruhi Suzumiya, who seemed to have endless energy, was sleepy throughout class today.
After all, she had had the Diary for half a month now, and the Reading Points she had accumulated hadn't been of much use.
Last night, I naturally used all those Reading Points on this at once.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the girl, who is pretending to be asleep with her eyes slightly closed, muttering the names of moves such as "one move (light punch)" and "twenty-one moves (light kick)".
This guy obviously spent the whole night at home working on his Diary.
Miyauchi Hiyage had no doubt about Haruhi Suzumiya's execution ability, nor did she doubt Haruhi Suzumiya's talent.
In just one night, the light spot representing Haruhi Suzumiya on the map Diary Shiina Mashiro's Diary had grown by half again. It could be said that after a week of concealing her identity as the Diary's owner, it could no longer be hidden at all today.
However, it seems that her own divine power has not been fully awakened yet.
This is normal.
In the original work, Haruhi Suzumiya knew nothing, yet she still managed to create so much commotion in her search for those extraordinary beings.
According to the novel's setting, Haruhi Suzumiya longs to discover the anomalies around her, but subconsciously she also believes that the world is scientific and that those supernatural beings should not appear in front of her. This is why those seemingly contradictory things keep happening around her, but she herself is completely unaware of them.
But now Haruhi Suzumiya has obtained the Diary and knows the truth about this world.
If she could truly unleash her full power, she would probably already be thriving in the Reverse Side World.
But the other person is still sitting obediently in the classroom, and what they do every day is follow Kasumigaoka Utaha and go to Kato Megumi's class to observe Kato Megumi.
It can only be said that the opponent's power has definitely awakened, but not much of it has been awakened, and it doesn't completely revolve around Haruhi Suzumiya.
However, the original story did not explain how Haruhi Suzumiya acquired her divine powers.
In later parts of the story, Haruhi Suzumiya's divine powers were stolen and stripped away on more than one occasion.
Perhaps it was that power that sensed the danger of this world and chose to remain dormant within Haruhi Suzumiya's Haruhi Suzumiya to ensure her own safety?
Did she guide Haruhi Suzumiya to her side because she felt that her side was the safest place?
So, he's now playing the role of Kyon from the original work?
Miyauchi Hiyage didn't think about these things. The Kusanagi-ryu Ancient Martial Arts had reduced his weakness in physical skills, but it didn't significantly increase his overall stats.
He has a long way to go before he becomes invincible; at most, he can only treat Haruhi Suzumiya as an ordinary friend and a normal classmate.
Chapter 242: Wanting to make Miyauchi Hiyage his underling
It took Haruhi Suzumiya more than a week to fully adapt to life at Houtonji High School, and she also experienced all the clubs that were somewhat interesting based on their Toyosaki, just like before.
As expected, it only took a week for Haruhi Suzumiya's genius to spread throughout Toyosaki.
But she had also confirmed that these clubs were all traditional clubs with nothing new, and were not on the same level as what she was looking for.
However, through her mutual probing with Kasumigaoka Utaha, she finally discovered some of Kasumigaoka Utaha's secrets.
She is Kashiko Kasumi, the author of the popular light novel "Love Metronome". Although she is from Tokyo, she moved out and lived alone after starting high school.
The author of "The Kasumigaoka Utaha" carefully analyzed Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel while reading the manga "Haruhi Suzumiya: How to Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," which was just starting to be serialized in Weekly Manga.
The first volume is actually a rather clichéd romance novel for her. The male lead has no special characteristics, and the female lead, along with the Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend manga, is clearly a copy of Kasumigaoka Utaha's own work.
There's no particularly memorable plot; it only became popular because of Kasumigaoka Utaha's own writing skills and the promotion by a bunch of online bloggers.
However, in the second volume released a few days ago, Kasumigaoka Utaha had already completed her evolution.
The second female lead, who appears suddenly yet seems perfectly natural, bursts into the ambiguous relationship between the male and female leads like a hurricane.
The female protagonist's description is no different from that in the first volume, but both the second female lead and the male protagonist's characters are fully established through just one volume of the novel.
Especially the male lead's image.
I don't know why, but after being classmates with Miyauchi Hiyage for ten days, when I was reading Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel, even though the male protagonist's character illustrations and Miyauchi Hiyage's character illustrations had almost no resemblance whatsoever.
However, in Haruhi Suzumiya's mind, she could quite smoothly project the image of Miyauchi Hiyage onto the male protagonist of the second volume of the novel.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha was creating her character, she must have referenced the image of Miyauchi Hiyage, just not as directly as Shiina Mashiro.
However, seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha occasionally coming to Miyauchi Hiyage to discuss things during lunch break and after school, Haruhi Suzumiya still felt a little uncomfortable.
Kasumigaoka Utaha must know about the close relationship between Miyauchi Hiyage and Shiina Mashiro.
It's highly likely that Shiina Mashiro is also another Diary holder, but due to Miyauchi Hiyage's protection and Shiina Mashiro's lack of interest in social interactions, she hasn't had the opportunity to communicate with the other person yet.
Moreover, even Haruhi Suzumiya sometimes finds the unspoken understanding between Miyauchi Hiyage and Shiina Mashiro during lunch pleasing to the eye, yet Kasumigaoka Utaha, a beautiful girl, would often come alone to find Miyauchi Hiyage, seemingly completely unconcerned about the gazes of others.
Although Haruhi Suzumiya could sense that every time the other party came to see Miyauchi Hiyage, part of their attention was focused on her, as if they wanted to observe her situation.
However, the serious demeanor of Kasumigaoka Utaha when she chatted with Miyauchi Hiyage was not fake; it seemed as if she was genuinely discussing something serious with Miyauchi Hiyage.
After observing Kasumigaoka Utaha for more than ten days, a bold idea suddenly came to Haruhi Suzumiya's mind.
Could it be that Kasumigaoka Utaha's daily quest is related to Miyauchi Hiyage?
After all, her attitude towards Miyauchi Hiyage was indeed the biggest abnormality of Kasumigaoka Utaha. Even Miyauchi Hiyage himself said that Kasumigaoka Utaha would often come to him to consult on some novel writing issues.
Haruhi Suzumiya originally planned to continue observing for a while to verify her guess.
After all, one of her mission objectives was to conceal her identity for as long as possible. She had not lost her curiosity about Kasumigaoka Utaha and Miyauchi Hiyage, and maintaining this kind of life for another half month would not be a problem for her.
But after practicing the Kusanagi Style Technique all night, when Haruhi Suzumiya came to school today, she had the thought that she might not be able to hide it anymore.
After all, she had invested all the Reading Points she had gained over the past ten days into this physical technique, and practiced it for an entire night. Haruhi Suzumiya could clearly feel the changes in her body.
So, after realizing that she had truly taken that step and was no longer an ordinary person, she no longer wanted to endure it; she wanted to discover more of the world's secrets.
So she decisively shifted her focus, preparing to start with Miyauchi Hiyage.
Although they had been deskmates for more than ten days, Haruhi Suzumiya, did not directly confront Miyauchi Hiyage.
Despite Miyauchi Hiyage's quiet demeanor in class and easygoing interactions with other students, his assertive side is subtly revealed in both Mashiro's manga and the second volume of Kasumigaoka Utaha.
When Haruhi Suzumiya was discussing the future direction of her videos with Miyauchi Hiyage, and also sharing his thoughts on Shiina Mashiro, Miyauchi Hiyage's assertiveness was clearly palpable.
Equally assertive, she wants to turn Miyauchi Hiyage into her subordinate, to follow her orders and explore more interesting places. However, it seems that targeting Miyauchi Hiyage herself or Shiina Mashiro might only strain their relationship.
Although Haruhi Suzumiya would never back down, she felt she could start from other angles, such as Sakakibara Kouichi, whose relationship with Miyauchi Hiyage seemed to have changed slightly recently.
Not only Haruhi Suzumiya noticed it, but other students in the class who followed Miyauchi Hiyage's account also noticed the Miyauchi Hiyage she filmed after the Golden Week holiday. Although the cases themselves were very interesting, and the filming conditions were even more refined than before, they didn't reach the level of popularity that Kanoe Yuko had.
However, Sakakibara Kouichi's performance during filming was visibly less impressive than before, or rather, he was overshadowed by Itou Kaiji's Itou Kaiji natural performance.
The screen time and the number of lines have also been reduced to some extent.
Even the comments below the video suggest that Sakakibara Kouichi falling behind the team's progress.
Haruhi Suzumiya also asked Miyauchi Hiyage about this matter directly.
Miyauchi Hiyage's answer was simple: this is the most important period for Sakakibara Kouichi, and he cannot interfere with Sakakibara Kouichi's own choices.
So Sakakibara Kouichi Haruhi Suzumiya came to win over Koichi Sakakibara.
However, when Sakakibara Kouichi saw that Haruhi Suzumiya had actually come to him and was saying that she could help him resolve his inner conflict, his expression became somewhat complicated.
He hasn't been feeling well these days.
In fact, he had already decided last week to continue working with Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage, but he hadn't given Miyauchi Hiyage a definite answer yet.
He was thinking that he could only make a firm decision to continue working with Miyauchi Hiyage after he had truly awakened to his extraordinary potential.
After all, he also has a strong curiosity about the world.
In addition, the name of his fellow villager, which sounded like "Yellow Springs" (the underworld), and the mysterious blindfolded girl he met when he returned to his hometown, all made him vaguely feel that his hometown might also be hiding some incredible secret.
Even if he might encounter all sorts of different futures, he felt he would truly regret it for the rest of his life if he missed out on Miyauchi Hiyage.
At the very least, I need to confirm whether I am capable of achieving extraordinary awakening.
If he truly cannot achieve transcendence, there's no point in him continuing to stay in the team since he can't keep up with Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage.
The reason he was in such poor condition was that while Miyauchi Hiyage was using some kind of special power to heal his congenitally weak body, he was also having that evil ghost, whom Miyauchi Hiyage called Shadow Yuuko but whom he couldn't see at all, try to activate the power within him.
Psychological attacks, hallucinations, recurring dreams, possession by ghosts, inducing negative emotions from one's own mind...
Although the extent of the Miyauchi Hiyage was not significant and was kept at a level that would not cause psychological problems, after all this, although his spirit was more resilient than before and he could indeed vaguely see the outlines of some Spiritual Body, his physical condition was indeed much worse than before.
He just didn't expect that Haruhi Suzumiya, whom Miyauchi Hiyage had specifically warned him about before, would actually come looking for him.
Can you help me resolve my inner conflict?
My biggest regret is not being able to achieve transcendence. Can you help me?
However, Sakakibara Kouichi a smart man. He knew that on the very first day that Miyauchi Hiyage transferred to the Haruhi Suzumiya, she had somehow seen the girl's potential and was preparing to recruit her.
So he said directly to Haruhi Suzumiya, "Tomorrow is the weekend, and we're going to do location shooting after school this afternoon. The place we're going to is quite far, so we might not be back until very late. If you're interested in our team, would you like to come and experience it?"
Haruhi Suzumiya was somewhat surprised by the other party's straightforwardness.
She was still trying to win him over, but how come he turned around and started trying to win her over instead?
"Can you make the decision yourself?"
Koichi Sakakibara gestured towards Sakakibara Kouichi, who was still sitting in his seat, seemingly lost in thought but actually pondering whether he could perform an infinite Miyauchi Hiyage in reality.
"Our boss said, if you come looking for me, this is what I'll tell you."
Haruhi Suzumiya's expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.
Did Miyauchi Hiyage already see through his plan before he even began to implement it, by trying to win over the other party's underlings, gradually undermine Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage's power, and finally make Miyauchi Hiyage admire his extraordinary abilities?
Although she didn't know how Miyauchi Hiyage had seen through her intentions, she wasn't the kind of person to back down. Once she made a decision, she naturally wouldn't back down.
She nodded, then ran back to her seat and nudged Miyauchi Hiyage, telling him that she was going to go with them to scout locations that afternoon.
Miyauchi Hiyage was not surprised at all by this, and even thought it was only natural.
After all, the location they're going to film tonight is the site of what was known as the scariest Bandage Freak case in the early episodes of Conan.
Haruhi Suzumiya, the "chosen one," really should come and join in the fun.
That place is the private property of the Suzuki Family and is not open to the public. Especially after that accident, no one goes there anymore.
However, Miyauchi Hiyage still has a decent network of connections.
After speaking to Shinomiya Kaguya, she helped him contact Suzuki Ayako, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Family, and obtained her consent. Then, Miyauchi Hiyage went to Conan and Ran to inquire about the specific circumstances at the time, and also contacted Suzuki Sonoko, who was ostensibly "solving the mystery of the case" at the time. This was no big deal for Miyauchi Hiyage.
Previously, when filming those videos, Miyauchi Hiyage had already easily become acquainted with Mouri Kogoro through a money offensive.
Ultimately, Miyauchi Hiyage easily obtained firsthand information and the Suzuki Family's consent. Even Suzuki Sonoko was willing to appear on camera to recount the case at the time.
The only price was that Sakakibara Kouichi had to flaunt his charms a little and call Suzuki Sonoko a few times against Sonoko will.
What Miyauchi Hiyage didn't expect was...
By the time they finished school and were ready for the weekend, two luxury cars were already parked at the school gate.
One belongs to the Shinomiya Family, and the other to the Suzuki Family.
He decisively threw Sakakibara Kouichi, this "puppy," into the Suzuki Family's car.
He had no desire to deal with Suzuki Sonoko, that infatuated girl, Shinomiya Kaguya, who was sitting in the car, would never let him ride in the Suzuki Family's car.
When they first met, Suzuki Sonoko was already infatuated with him.
