After all, Miyauchi Hiyage Hikage is already very good-looking, and his Pure Yang Body and Card Master template have more or less added to his charm.

It was only by decisively selling out the skinny, puppy-like type like Sakakibara Kouichi Miyauchi Hiyage, who was easier to gain girls' sympathy, that Suzuki Sonoko's attention was successfully attracted.

However, as Shinomiya Kaguya Miyauchi Hiyage watched Haruhi Suzumiya, her gaze became cautious.

The You Know Who already mentioned it in his diary last night.

Do not provoke Haruhi Suzumiya.

The other party truly possesses the ability to change the world.

Even if you don't know why she came into this world or why she appeared next to Miyauchi Hiyage, it's best not to provoke this willful woman.

In any case, Shinomiya Kaguya decisively chose to ignore this woman.

Although Haruhi Suzumiya seems to have an even stronger backing than Tohru.

But Tohru is reasonable and has a good personality.

The Haruhi Suzumiya is too unpredictable and too dangerous; she has no intention of bowing down to such a woman.

The best option is to stay away from the other person.

But who would have thought that Haruhi Suzumiya, who had kept her distance from Miyauchi Hiyage just a few days ago, would suddenly join Miyauchi Hiyage's team today?

Moreover, it seems that the Miyauchi Hiyage are used to it?

Could it be that Miyauchi Hiyage's perception has been subtly distorted by this woman?

As Shinomiya Kaguya pondered this in her heart, her unease deepened. Then, she heard Miyauchi Hiyage ask her why she had come all this way today, and whether she had taken care of everything at school.

Kaguya Shinomiya composed herself and briefly explained her situation to Hikage Miyauchi.

After various forms of coercion and enticement, the former student council president, despite not having committed any major offenses, still succumbed to the power of the Shinomiya Conglomerate and resigned.

Next Monday will be the end of it all.

Her plan was to finish this month's studies at the Shuchiin Academy, then drop out next month to enter the Jujutsu High, where she could focus on cultivating her skills in the Reverse Side World.

Of course, because of Haruhi Suzumiya, she didn't reveal the rest of the story, only saying that the school matters had been mostly resolved.

As for why she came here specifically today...

Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze fell upon Miyauchi Hiyage.

It's all because that You Know Who guy said in his diary yesterday that he was going to find time to beat up Miyauchi Hiyage. She was a little worried about Miyauchi Hiyage's safety, so she specially came over to check on the situation.

Chapter 243: Why Play the Haruhikage?

The diary entry that Miyauchi Hiyage yesterday still had quite a bit of impact.

It wasn't just that the Kusanagi Style martial arts improved the girls' self-defense capabilities, but also that she mentioned herself in her diary again after a long time.

This time, however, Miyauchi Hiyage really went too far with himself.

After all, he directly described himself as a "harem man" in his diary, so the girls who have the Diary probably won't actively come to him anymore.

He already has enough girls around him now, and in the ten days or so since the Golden Week holiday, he has encountered quite a few girls who are curious about him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, someone posing as a manga fan comes to ask Shiina Mashiro for an autograph, and then deliberately reveals that they also know the Breathing Technique Umaru.

There's also Kasumigaoka Utaha Gokō Ruri wanted her to guide her in writing a novel.

There are even more direct examples, such as knowing the plot and even after dealing with self-propelled cannons like Itou Makoto and Sawagoe Itaru, they still cannot attend school normally. In the end, with the help of Kaguya Shinomiya, they transfer to the Shuchiin Academy in Katsura Kotonoha Shinomiya Kaguya.

This woman's yandere tendencies seem to have awakened to some extent as well. She joined the Shuchiin Academy Kendo Club, and thanks to the physique provided by Ripple Breathing, she's qualified to participate in this year's Kendo Tournament just by relying on her Iai Quickdraw.

After learning about Miyauchi Hiyage's swordsmanship talent, this woman began to observe him secretly. Occasionally, when Miyauchi Hiyage practiced the Sun Breathing Sword Style in his own courtyard in the morning, he could sense Katsura Kotonoha observing him nearby through Name Magic.

He watched as a group of girls spent their days chatting in a group about how to get to know him and how to get on his good side.

To avoid getting into a real mess in the future, Miyauchi Hiyage chose to directly label himself as a harem man, as a warning to any girls who wanted to get close to him.

He did indeed have a strong liking for these girls, and as a transmigrator, he even harbored a mysterious and unspeakable possessiveness.

But he still preferred the kind of relationship that develops over time, and he managed to suppress those simple desires very well.

To avoid succumbing to temptation and doing something irreversible one day, it's best to let these girls think carefully about whether they want to ruin their reputation by clinging to powerful figures.

So far, the results are quite good. The girls in the group have all been quite tacitly avoiding mentioning themselves today, instead exchanging their experiences in practicing Kusanagi Style Technique.

Even Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't come to see him today, only reminding him to take care of his health via chat.

She also seemed unaware that Haruhi Suzumiya's figure on the map of her Diary had suddenly grown much larger due to her training in physical techniques.

However, this is not surprising.

After the "Transcendent Awakening", Miyauchi Hiyage gradually released the power of his Pure Yang Body, and now he has unlocked about 80% of it. However, he has now mastered multiple transcendent systems, and he has tamed most of the naturally generated Pure Yang energy in his body, which has greatly improved his control over the Pure Yang Body.

Even without using Sealing Technique, Miyauchi Hiyage can now control the radiation range of the Pure Yang Body to within ten meters, preventing the occurrence of situations where a First-Class Grudge struggles to see his true appearance despite its best efforts.

Now, Miyauchi Hiyage's light spot occupies almost the entire size of the classroom on the map, squeezing out the light spots of everyone else on the map.

But that's not the biggest one.

According to Shinomiya Kaguya, Satoru Gojo's light spot almost filled the entire Jujutsu High, meaning that as long as Satoru Gojo stayed in the school, he couldn't see anyone else's light spot.

Miyauchi Hiyage's gaze fell upon Shinomiya Kaguya.

This woman grew up in the Shinomiya Family, and she knew from a young age how chaotic the entertainment circle was.

After obtaining the Diary, his ambition swelled, and he was determined to make a name for himself in the Reverse Side World.

Moreover, she had already noticed his "universal love" during the Golden Week holiday, but she continued to keep in touch with him afterward, and would consult her about any problems she encountered in her spiritual practice.

This means that she doesn't care about "building a harem," and even seems to be actively joining in.

Miyauchi Hiyage glanced again at Haruhi Suzumiya, who was sitting next to him, completely unconcerned about the luxury car he was in.

Was it because Haruhi Suzumiya appeared by her side that Shinomiya Kaguya's suspicions about her being You Know Who increased again?

With the help of Name Magic and Destiny Magic, even without mind-reading ability, it's relatively easy for Miyauchi Hiyage to know what a girl is thinking.

Shinomiya Kaguya never completely ruled herself out of suspicion of the You Know Who; at the very least, she still harbored a slight suspicion. With the appearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, that suspicion was raised to about 10-20%.

However, even the Miyauchi Hiyage can reveal Shinomiya Kaguya's ulterior motives.

She wanted to confirm further, and then play the classic trick of "you don't want your You Know Who identity to be revealed, do you?"

Since it wouldn't affect Miyauchi Hiyage himself anyway, he let Shinomiya Kaguya go.

However, Shinomiya Kaguya's probing methods made Miyauchi Hiyage somewhat unable to keep his composure.

For example, right now she's playing some familiar music from the Miyauchi Hiyage in her car.

Those were anime songs from the DVDs that Miyauchi Hiyage had Jerry distribute. They were probably collected and extracted into music format by Shinomiya Kaguya later.

Fortunately, Miyauchi Hiyage's acting skills had already been developed, and the CDs he released didn't have any particularly catchy music.

As the opening and ending themes of "Saekano: How to Raise Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" played in the background, and then switched to the secretary dance of "Lady Kaguya War, "Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage felt no emotion whatsoever; in fact, she even felt a little amused.

Meanwhile, Haruhi Suzumiya looked at Shinomiya Kaguya with a strange expression.

The style of these songs is probably from an anime. But is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya Family also a fan of anime?

Feeling Haruhi Suzumiya's gaze, Shinomiya Kaguya simply replied, "I'm currently preparing to organize a music festival and would like to invite some newly debuted bands and Idol groups to participate. Hinkage, do you have any favorite new bands?"

Miyauchi Hiyage remembered that she had indeed mentioned the names of many girl bands in her diary, and that she had asked Jerry to pack up the CDs and albums of the bands that she had drawn in her diary and give them to Little Bocchi.

However, Shinomiya Kaguya is indeed very proactive.

On one hand, he was training at the Jujutsu High, and on the other hand, he was playing power games at the Shuchiin Academy. After dealing with a bunch of girls in the group, he still had the mind to organize a music festival.

However, there are indeed quite a few people in the group who play music.

With encouragement from everyone in the group and his spurring, Little Bocchi has already formed a band. I wonder when he will be able to meet the Prime Minister. There is also Tsukimi Eiko, who is currently singing in a bar, and Hoshino Ai, Idol trainee who has been in the industry for more than two and a half years.

These three girls are all professionally skilled and are the protagonists of their respective works. Thanks to Shinomiya Kaguya's behind-the-scenes manipulation over the past month and their own hard work, their popularity has increased significantly compared to the original story.

It's perfectly reasonable for Shinomiya Kaguya to organize a music festival to further solidify the popularity of these three.

In fact, the music player on Miyauchi Hiyage's phone does contain quite a few songs that are difficult to explain.

But Miyauchi Hiyage's expression didn't change. "As for myself, I don't really have any particular hobbies."

"Recently, Mashiro did tell me some things about bands, but some of their songs can't be found online. I don't know where she learned about those bands from, since she's always at home."

"Yes, many bands have pretty good original songs, but they lack a way to promote them, and in the end they just fade into obscurity, which is a bit of a pity."

Shinomiya Kaguya watched the Miyauchi Hiyage, and then played a song whose intro alone was enough to make anyone laugh.

"んだ ふるえる differ し, で Servant ひとりぼっちだった..."

"This is a song I stumbled upon before, and I quite like it. It's just a pity that the band that created this song disbanded last year, otherwise I would really like to invite them to participate in the music festival as well..." Shinomiya Kaguya said with a smile.

As if remembering something, she deliberately said to Miyauchi Hiyage, "Speaking of which, your name is also in the title of this song, Himekage."

Listening to the music playing in her ears, Miyauchi Hiyage felt that Shinomiya Kaguya was up to something.

Why play "Haruhikage". JPG

The song title Haruhikage certainly contains "hikage" (Haruhikage), but the problem is that it also has "haruhi" (spring day) in front of it!

Especially since he and Haruhi Suzumiya were sitting together, and the temperature inside the car was a little high, was this woman deliberately creating an ambiguous atmosphere between him and Haruhi Suzumiya?

Haruhi Suzumiya is naturally very curious; are you really not afraid of causing some big commotion?

Miyauchi Hiyage realized that he had indeed underestimated Shinomiya Kaguya.

He never expected that Shinomiya Kaguya would pull this stunt on him.

I'm sweating a little.

But the Miyauchi Hiyage is no pushover either.

He quickly composed himself and said to Shinomiya Kaguya, "With the power of your Shinomiya Family, if you wanted to invite them, even if they had disbanded, getting them all together for a live performance for you wouldn't be a problem, right?"

Shinomiya Kaguya probably took Haruhi Suzumiya's presence into consideration, and ultimately didn't say anything more about the song title.

"Even if the band that broke apart gets back together, what good songs can they sing? I'm not the kind of bad person who forces others to do things against their will. Besides, I heard that some members of that band recently formed a new band. I was thinking of having this new band perform this song again at the music festival."

"You don't mean to invite the remaining members to the concert as audience members, do you?"

"As expected of you, only you could guess what I was thinking. And isn't this interesting?"

You're trying to force a replica of the original plot, huh? Seriously.

Why don't you also acquire the copyright to The Sora no Hako, and then invite the new Diamond Dust to come over, so that Kid can unleash her ultimate skill in person at the music festival?

Miyauchi Hiyage, who initially didn't have much interest in the music festival, is now actually starting to get a little interested.

After all, who doesn't enjoy watching women fight?

Ideally, the Haruhikage Festival should be followed by The Sora no Hako, immediately setting the stage for a great concert atmosphere.

After the song finished playing, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't say anything more about the topic.

She had tried to probe once, and although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Miyauchi Hiyage's reaction still made her feel somewhat pleased.

The songs that followed became more conventional, more like the elegant music that a young lady like Shinomiya Kaguya should listen to.

It seems that only Haruhi Suzumiya is still unaware of the situation and what kind of confrontation the other two in the car have just had.

She didn't find the song with "Japanese Shadow" in its title particularly appealing; she just felt the lead singer was putting on too much effort.

She thought the concert sounded interesting, and if she got bored, she could go and join in the fun.

She remembered that Miyauchi Hiyage also seemed to write songs, and the background music in those videos seemed to be composed by Miyauchi Hiyage herself.

Why don't we try to persuade Miyauchi Hiyage to write a song and participate in a concert?

However, after thinking about it, she felt it was too much trouble. Playing around was fine, but she decided against forming a band or anything like that.

Let's continue to focus on framing the next video.

She had already learned roughly about the case that had occurred there from Miyauchi Hiyage Hikage in the afternoon.

The Bandage Freak Murder Case!

The mansion deep in the mountains, the severed bridge, and the telephone line—although they have all been repaired now—still gave the young girl a slightly thrilling feeling of being able to personally visit such a murder scene.

After all, she has done a lot of outrageous things since she was a child, but the only thing that really made headlines was the graffiti she did on the school playground.

Besides that, she had been to those haunted places by herself a few times, but she didn't find them particularly exciting.

Hopefully this trip will be more exciting, and I'd love to see the real Bandage Freak.
