Voldemort Joined the Group Chat / Honma Meiko, Whose Fate Was Changed

What was the real Katsura Kotonoha thinking? She had never even met him, so how could she possibly guess so accurately?

Using Ripple Breathing, Kasumigaoka Utaha calmed herself down.

Seeing the other members of the Diary Enthusiasts Club supporting Katsura Kotonoha in the group chat, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not voice what had just crossed her mind.

It was better not to let such baseless speculation affect the others.

After joining in to curse the scumbag a few times, Kasumigaoka Utaha shifted the topic to the information You Know Who had revealed in today's diary.

Kashiko Kasumi: "Today, You Know Who revealed his future itinerary in the diary again."

Kashiko Kasumi: "Going to Kanagawa to watch a basketball game, going camping, attending an idol concert to cheer in person, coming to my new book signing, getting an autograph from someone called Kaitou... How many things has he scheduled for himself already...?"

Classic Club Girl: "In his first diary entry, You Know Who said that he had a younger sister and would play with her the next morning. Yet in his diary the next day, he wrote that he had gotten up late. He probably forgot about playing with his sister."

Looking at Chitanda Eru's rational analysis, Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.

So far, every piece of information they had seen had been written by You Know Who himself.

An adult man with a younger sister, who had just quit his job and was preparing to travel around, and who liked anime and manga.

That was all they could determine for now.

But who knew which parts were true and which were false?

You Know Who definitely would not honestly lay out all his personal information.

If they wanted to find You Know Who, they really could only wait for him to appear before them himself.

But if he stood them up, there was still nothing they could do.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Kasumigaoka Utaha began writing a comment in the diary, slipping some personal resentment into it.

Then, an hour later, she awkwardly watched as her comment was selected and appeared in the Diary.

Kasumigaoka Utaha:

I am Kasumigaoka Utaha. I believe everyone currently reading this diary already knows who I am, so I will not elaborate further.

Mr. Tom, I noticed that you have been adding new items to your itinerary in the diary every day recently, including this young woman's new book signing half a month from now.

This honor fills this young woman with endless gratitude. I sincerely invite you to attend my book signing, and hope you can spare some of your precious time to come and offer this young woman your guidance.

Of course, if Mr. Tom is too busy with other matters to make time to come, this young woman would not mind.

After all, I am merely an uninteresting woman whom no one thinks highly of, who can only rise to prominence in an IF route by removing the main heroine, and whose reputation has been utterly ruined in the eyes of the other Diary holders. How could I dare make any demands of Mr. Tom?

Furthermore, it is not just this young woman. Miss Hoshino Ai is also looking forward to you attending her concert. To that end, we have specifically established a LINE Group Chat centered around you, Mr. Tom. Would you be interested in joining our group chat?

Below that was an explanation of the group chat, including how Reading Points would be used to block searches by unrelated people and protect the personal information of group members from being leaked.

Seeing the faint resentment radiating from Kasumigaoka Utaha's comment, Miyauchi Hiyage could not help wiping his forehead.

I told you traditional diary webnovels were unreliable. Those protagonists only need to write a few diary entries in the Diary to arouse the heroines' curiosity and affection.

But here, he only turned up the heat on Kasumigaoka Utaha a little, so why did it feel like he was about to trigger her yandere traits?

Sure enough, his initial choice to hide his identity had been correct.

If he had exposed his identity from the start, he might already have been imprisoned in some dark underground room and toyed with at will by a bunch of yandere girls.

"In a couple of days, I'll stuff your IF-route manga into Eriri Spencer Sawamura's shoe locker."

Watching Hoshino Ai and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had even created a group chat in an attempt to find him this way, Miyauchi Hiyage muttered to himself.

"This group chat actually seems kind of interesting. Should I join and see what they're talking about?"

"But what the hell are Reading Points?"

Were they rewards that the Diary holders could receive after reading his diary?

The matter of Reading Points did not concern Miyauchi Hiyage much.

After all, it was not strange for the person writing the diary to receive rewards, while the people reading it received some rewards as well.

However, when he tried searching for the so-called Diary Enthusiasts Club, intending to sneak in and spectate while seeing how those girls discussed him, a small problem arose.

As the owner of the Diary, he could naturally find the group.

But when he tried to join the group chat, a prompt suddenly popped up before him.

"Once the owner of the Diary enters this group chat, he will automatically become the group owner. Enter the group chat?"

That prompt instantly ruined Miyauchi Hiyage's plan to sneak in unnoticed.

He had originally thought that quite a few people would be joining the group at this point. Once inside, he could casually make up an identity for himself and quietly lurk.

But the moment he entered, the title of group owner would land directly on his head. How the hell was he supposed to lurk then?

That woman Kasumigaoka Utaha would probably come straight at him for a confrontation on the spot.

Dealing with everyone else in the group afterward would definitely be troublesome too.

Writing a diary was a one-way outlet for him. He could write whatever he wanted, take his time thinking about how to phrase it, and leave himself plenty of room to maneuver.

A chat group, on the other hand, involved multidirectional exchanges of information. Whatever he did in the group would be seen as an expression of his attitude.

Joining the chat group would not only bring him no benefits, but would greatly increase the risk of his identity being exposed.

With that in mind, Miyauchi Hiyage considered it for a moment.

Then he tapped the option to confirm that he would join the chat group.

Meanwhile.

Utaha's resentful comment had indeed left a deep impression on the other Diary holders.

Along with it came constant notifications that new members were joining the Diary Enthusiasts Club group chat.

In half an hour, the number of people in the group rose from four to thirteen.

Most of them, however, barely spoke after joining. Perhaps it was because their names had not yet been mentioned by You Know Who, or perhaps they intended to observe the group for a while first.

Of course, there was also a socially anxious person with the nickname Guitar Hero, who had worked up the courage to join but still did not dare say a word for ages.

Takanashi Rikka, on the other hand, had encountered another kindred spirit.

One claimed to possess the strongest Evil Eye, while the other claimed to be the Fallen Saint Black Cat of Chiba, the strongest servant of darkness.

The two of them then began arguing over their respective "character settings" in the group.

For a while, no one in the group dared join their conversation.

It was not until the two were practically about to battle in text all the way to the edge of the universe and grind the Great Dao to dust that several consecutive group notifications drew everyone's attention.

"Voldemort joined the group chat."

"Voldemort obtained group owner status."

"Voldemort enabled mute all."

Voldemort: "Hmm, there aren't many people here. Looks like I came a little early."

Voldemort: "Why can't I see the chat history? Boring."

Voldemort: "@Ai, so you created this group chat. It really does have your style. I originally wanted to send you your theme song, but you can't sing it with that feeling yet, so I'll show you the lyrics first. I'll give you the music later."

"Voldemort uploaded the attachment 'Idol.'"

Voldemort: "@Kashiko Kasumi, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be so impatient. Didn't I tell you I'd go when I had time? I originally wanted to send you the first volume of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, but on second thought, maybe next time."

Voldemort: "@All Members, I can roughly guess the identities of some of you, but I'm a little sleepy today. I'll write about it in the diary later. I won't disturb you any longer, so I'm leaving first."

"Voldemort left the group chat."

"Ai obtained group owner status."

After Hoshino Ai somewhat dazedly disabled mute all, the chat group immediately exploded.

Ai: "Just now... was that You Know Who?"

Strongest Evil Eye: "S-Such powerful pressure! I never expected even my Evil Eye to be temporarily suppressed!"

Fallen Saint Black Cat: "That's enough. It was only a mute. If I had administrator permissions right now, I could suppress your Evil Eye too."

Classic Club Girl: "But why does he call himself Voldemort? Does that name have some special meaning?"

Kashiko Kasumi: "Who knows what goes on in that guy's head?"

Kashiko Kasumi: "But at least we can confirm one thing now. That unbelievably vile You Know Who can freely enter and leave our group chat, and he can even directly take away the group owner's permissions. What an obnoxious permissions-abusing bastard."

Most importantly, that guy had enabled mute all the moment he arrived, not giving them even the slightest chance to speak.

She could only watch helplessly as he mocked her to her face, then left in style.

The group chat's peculiar nature also meant that they had no way whatsoever to investigate any of his information.

Kasumigaoka Utaha vented at the indestructible Diary in her hands again.

However, because of You Know Who's appearance, those group members who had been lurking all came out to speak.

UMR: "What a pity. I wanted to ask whether Mr. You Know Who knew anything about me."

Sakura: "I also wanted to thank You Know Who, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance. I hope I'll have another opportunity later."

Ai: "@Sakura, what happened? Did something happen to you?"

Sakura: "There are some issues with my body, but after practicing Ripple Chi Kung, I feel like things have improved a little."

Menma: "Health really is important. I fell into the water once when I was little. Although someone rescued me afterward, my health became much worse after that. Even now, I can't attend school normally and can only study at home by myself most of the time."

Menma: "Although my friends often come to my house to help me catch up with my studies, I still want to go to school with them every day."

Menma: "I'm working hard to practice Ripple Chi Kung too. I hope that one day my body can return to normal. When that time comes, besides finding Mr. You Know Who, I also want to find the person who saved me back then. I still haven't properly thanked that person."

Looking at Sakura and Menma's messages in the group, Kasumigaoka Utaha once again realized that heroines were not necessarily perfect.

Menma was in poor health, while Sakura had not explained the details. Yet for her to specifically come forward to thank You Know Who, it was probably not a simple issue either.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha was filled with resentment toward You Know Who, it was precisely because of You Know Who and the Diary that they had gathered together and gained the possibility of changing their futures.

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha's attitude toward You Know Who shifted slightly in her heart.

A new notification suddenly appeared in the group.

Voldemort joined the group chat and enabled mute all.

Voldemort: "I'm back in the group, and now I'm leaving again! @Kashiko Kasumi, are you pissed when you see me? Then come find me if you can! Hahaha!"

Voldemort left the group chat.

"...My fists are getting a little hard." Kasumigaoka Utaha once again fiercely kneaded the Diary before her.

Honma Meiko, Whose Fate Was Changed

Kasumigaoka Utaha was gritting her teeth in the group, thoroughly enraged by You Know Who's vile behavior.

Hoshino Ai was gazing at the song You Know Who had given her with shining eyes. Just from the lyrics alone, it felt as though it had been written straight into her heart.

Shinomiya Kaguya was staring at her old flip phone with a headache. After studying it for a long time, she had no choice but to give up on the idea of installing LINE on it.

As for Katsura Kotonoha, who wanted to know whether she could make famous friends after entering high school?

After reading today's diary, she was currently sharpening a knife.

Do not misunderstand. She had not entered a darkened or yandere state.

Although those words in the diary seemed somewhat cold and cruel, she had yet to experience such complicated romantic relationships, nor had she developed any special feelings for other boys.
