In short, Miyauchi Hiyage clearly understands why Kasumigaoka Utaha appeared here.

He also knew exactly who the blond guy was.

After all, Mai Sakurajima doesn't have Diary. The only holders of the second batch of Diary around him are Shadow Yuuko and Haruhi Suzumiya. Shadow Yuuko hasn't updated her requests at all, so that leaves Haruhi Suzumiya.

A few days ago, when filming the video, he did give Haruhi Suzumiya a lot of guidance on the key points of filming. It seems that Kasumigaoka Utaha Haruhi Suzumiya to all of these things, which is why she was able to successfully steal Utaha Kasumigaoka's request.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage remembers that Kasumigaoka Utaha had already accumulated 10 Reading Points by Wednesday last week.

Who would have thought that Haruhi Suzumiya wouldn't have stolen last week's Reading Points, but rather this week's Reading Points acquisition cap?

It can only be said that Diary can indeed stir up trouble.

But Miyauchi Hiyage wouldn't concern herself with such matters, since "Miyauchi Hiyage" wouldn't know about them anyway. She just needed to maintain her persona and be a helpful classmate.

After he awakened his ability, everyone knew that he needed to open his eyes when using the "Destiny Power". He had never opened his eyes to his classmates before, so how could he know the special thoughts of those female classmates about him?

Besides, the Diary itself must be above the fate of this world. With the Diary concealing the secrets of heaven, it's normal that he can't see much.

Therefore, when faced with Kasumigaoka Utaha's tapping from the side, Miyauchi Hiyage remained quite calm, which left Kasumigaoka Utaha somewhat puzzled.

But seeing that she had already gained three points of Reading Points from Miyauchi Hiyage in just one morning, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that she still needed to pay attention to the other people who appeared around Miyauchi Hiyage.

By the weekend, she needs to find an opportunity to follow Miyauchi Hiyage and join in the fun when they meet Mai Sakurajima.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha's idea was destined to fail, because after Miyauchi Hiyage entered the classroom, what awaited him was Suzumiya Haruhi, who had already read a lot of photography-related books over the weekend and currently had many questions to ask Miyauchi Hiyage Haruhi Suzumiya.

It's foreseeable that Kasumigaoka Utaha's daily quests will be very poor next week.

However, for Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage, his current focus is not on himself.

Since he used Yellow Temperance to create Little Blackie No. 1 last night, he has been controlling this Kuro, who is heading towards Morioh, all while multitasking.

Wonder of U has a strong degree of autonomy. Even when it is hundreds of kilometers away from its original body, there is no delay. Although maintaining the physical body does consume some energy, it also has the characteristic of Yellow Temperance. Wonder of U now has the ability to replenish its energy by consuming organic matter and Spiritual Body.

Organic matter is everywhere, and so are the Vengeful Spirit of this era. You could say that Wonder of U eat your way through Morioh, and by the time you reach Morioh, you probably have even more energy in your body than before.

There's a reason why we went to Morioh first.

After all, he was still quite concerned about which timeline this world belonged to.

The Land of Tiga was always hidden before the story began, and even if he had discovered Tiga's statue in advance, he probably wouldn't have had any way to obtain the power within it.

According to Miyauchi Hiyage's idea, the world hasn't even seen a glimpse of TPC yet, and Daigo Madoka probably hasn't even been born yet. It will probably take several more decades before the Ultraman Tiga storyline arrives.

Fuyuki City is quite peaceful right now, a truly peaceful Fuyuki City where no gas leaks have ever occurred. Miyauchi Hiyage felt that he didn't need to rush over to investigate.

As for Morioh, Miyauchi Hiyage had already investigated it before.

Kishibe Rohan does exist in this world, but there is no historical information about the SPW Foundation. Even Miyauchi Hiyage searched online for a long time but could not find any information about the Joestar Family or Kujo Jotaro.

There is no DIO or Joestar, but the list of presidents of the United States also does not include President Valentine of the New World.

In other words, this world is neither a fusion of the old world nor a new world.

After studying it for a while, Miyauchi Hiyage even wondered if this world was a fusion of Kishibe Rohan, standalone worldview.

After all, in this spin-off, in addition to Kishibe Rohan, there are many other special ability users who are not Stand users.

Even in the derivative films and TV series of this work, the settings of JoJo have been completely covered up. No other characters from JoJo Part 4 have appeared, and even the origin of Kishibe Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door, has become ambiguous.

It's as if Kishibe Rohan in that world achieved transcendence and gained the ability to enter the gates of heaven for some special reason.

However, according to his research, Rohan Kishibe Rohan in this world is currently just an ordinary manga artist and should not have returned to Morioh to settle down yet.

Regardless of the worldview, Morioh does indeed contain a lot of surreal things that are worth studying.

If we can actually get our hands on something that allows someone to awaken their Stand, it would be very necessary to bring it back.

Furthermore, Morioh in this world is located near Sendai, so when he investigates Morioh, he can also take the opportunity to observe the surrounding area.

Miyauchi Hiyage Hikage didn't mind giving Kunsun Min a whole bunch of stuff.

Chapter 273: The You Know Who's Guessing Game Request

I had a terrible day. Although it was just bad luck in some small things, I lost count of how many times I was bumped into on the street, how many times I almost had birds poop on my head, how many times I almost got hit by a car, and the food I ate for lunch was still dirty and had sand in it.

It can only be said that the power of rules is, after all, the power of rules. Theoretically, only those above the level of demigods can touch this thing. Who would have thought that this guy, who has only been awakened for less than a month, is already able to barely use this power.

Especially since it's such a rare rule of fate.

What a lucky kid.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, given his talent, he'll likely grow to possess god-level combat power.

However, with so many major crises looming over this world— Aliens, Otherworlders, monsters, beasts, and immortal beings who have lived for thousands of years—these ambitious individuals have gathered in this Mystery Revival era to stir up trouble.

The more powerful the forces, the better we can deal with future threats.

Although that guy doesn't have Diary, he can still be considered a half-direct descendant who defied fate by using Diary. After my test, he's pretty resilient, so there shouldn't be too many problems if we need him to help out in the future.

Although I am not a rule of fate, having just mastered the power of rules, I can at least slowly wear away the bad luck on me. As long as I stay away from Tokyo for the time being, I will be back to normal after a couple more days of bad luck.

It should take about the same amount of time for the scars on that kid's face to fade.

I wonder when I'll be able to draw upon the power of spacetime and causality. When that happens, I'll definitely have to take good care of this lucky little blue-haired guy.

In short, after staying at home for more than half a month, and confirming that no more otherworldly things have appeared in Tokyo, and that I haven't encountered anything interesting, it's about time I went out for a stroll.

Places I previously thought were too challenging to visit, I've now waited so long, and I'm pretty confident I can finally go check them out.

And I happen to be going through a rough patch right now, so I'm more likely to run into trouble.

Anyway, feel free to guess my destination today. I'll probably join the group once tonight, and if any of you can guess where I went, I'll give you a little mystery gift!

I'll write this part around noon and reveal the answer when we get there in the evening.

Tip: This is the hometown of a popular cartoonist, not located within the three major metropolitan areas, and is famous for its seafood.

Around noon, while everyone was eating, the Diary, which was usually completely silent during the day, suddenly started making noise.

Kashiko Kasumi: "It seems that the You Know Who has really suffered a lot. He actually fled Tokyo to seek refuge."

Kashiko Kasumi: "However, Hikari's appearance at school today was indeed quite pitiful. The whole school is curious about who injured him, and even the teachers have come to check on him."

Menma: "I won't be out of the barrier for another two days, otherwise I should be able to find a way to heal Hikage-kun's injuries."

Regarding Miyauchi Hiyage's current appearance, basically everyone who saw him today has shared his photo in the group Miyauchi Hiyage.

He was indeed beaten quite badly; not only his face, but also many red and swollen marks were found on Miyauchi Hiyage's body.

Fortunately, it did not have a significant impact on the appearance of Miyauchi Hiyage. Even the most severe swelling was temporarily covered with gauze, and from a distance, it inexplicably appeared somewhat broken.

Moreover, the normal Ripple have no healing effect. It seems that we can only wait for the swelling to subside naturally, just as the You Know Who said. This was, of course, caused by Tohru's intervention.

As a dragon, Tohru can use his power to create injuries that are difficult to heal.

If it were Miyauchi Hiyage's own Ripple, it could heal him, since the intensity of his Ripple is more than a hundred times that of those girls.

However, he didn't need to treat himself in the first place, so keeping this injury wouldn't have any impact on him.

As the newly crowned school bully, he always isolates the ordinary students in the entire school, and even if those ordinary students want to spread rumors about him, they can't make a ripple.

In comparison, Miyauchi Hiyage was bruised and battered for two days, while the "You Know Who" was genuinely plagued by bad luck for two days. It seemed as if Miyauchi Hiyage had the upper hand over the You Know Who.

This can be considered the biggest setback the You Know Who has suffered since they obtained the Diary.

As the chief You Know Who, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and because of the blonde guy who steals her Reading Points in her daily requests, could be said to have spent the whole day by Miyauchi Hiyage's side, taking meticulous care of him.

This made even the Miyauchi Hiyage embarrassment.

Of course, these things were seen by Haruhi Suzumiya, who was sitting at the same table as Miyauchi Hiyage. Her original 60% judgment immediately rose to 80%.

After all, if it were just a normal classmate relationship, why would someone as Kasumigaoka Utaha be so nervous?

So Haruhi Suzumiya, who had been pestering Kasumigaoka Utaha for the past few weeks, also spent her time chatting with Kasumigaoka Utaha whenever Miyauchi Hiyage came over.

However, after noon, with the release of the You Know Who's diary, the focus of discussion in the group shifted back to the You Know Who's newly created mystery guessing game.

Because the Diary really did cooperate quite well.

After this Diary was updated, a new limited-time commission appeared in the Diary of the first batch of Diary holders, allowing them to speculate on the You Know Who's current location.

This seems like a whimsical event.

There is no punishment even if you guess wrong.

You'll receive a guaranteed Reading Points just for participating in the guessing game.

Moreover, each person has two chances to guess, and the final reward will be divided into multiple segments based on the distance between the guess and the actual location of the You Know Who, as well as the accuracy of the guess.

In short, as long as you guess the second-level administrative region below "city", you will get a chance to win a prize. If you can further refine it to the street level, the rewards will continue to increase.

With such a free reward commission suddenly appearing, the "detectives" in the group naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, and they all began to explore how many of the famous cartoonists featured in those comic magazines were from coastal areas.

Although the event was somewhat competitive, the fact that participants had two chances and could enter a prize draw simply by guessing the specific "city" made the discussion quite lively.

Girls who love comics have a slight advantage in this regard, but in this era, information in all aspects has long been relatively transparent, so it is not difficult to investigate the hometowns of famous comic artists.

The problem is that Japan, as an island nation, has many coastal areas, with nearly half of its cities located along the coast. In addition, it is rich in seafood, so there isn't much information to filter out.

The same principle applies to cartoonists.

There are several thousand professional manga artists in Japan, and more than a hundred of them have drawn popular manga.

Even with all these factors combined, choosing a suitable location from the remaining options is not an easy task.

Moreover, at this time, someone in the group raised a different point of view—what if this is another You Know Who lying through their teeth?

What if the other party is still lingering in Tokyo and deliberately trying to lead them to believe that the You Know Who has left Tokyo?

Amidst these comments, half of the girls in the group were considering whether to write "Tokyo" as one of their guessing entries, even though Tokyo is a first-level administrative region and simply writing "Tokyo" wouldn't grant them a chance to win a prize.

But this at least confirms whether the You Know Who is currently in Tokyo or not.

However, after learning about the requests the girls in the group had received, Miyauchi Hiyage couldn't help but sigh that the Diary was really going to cause trouble.

Because he does indeed have a stand-in in Japan who is currently heading to Morioh.

The Diary giving two chances seems to be giving these girls an extra opportunity to guess, but in reality, it is also a subtle reminder to them that he might really be in two different places at the same time.

Miyauchi Hiyage ignored all of this. He simply glanced at Mashiro and realized that she had successfully accepted the commission. He was already prepared to let Shiina Mashiro win the grand prize for this commission.

His true form lives at 2-23 Beika Town. He'll tell Mashiro his exact address once Kuro- I arrives at Morioh.

Anyway, he had asked if the commission would reveal their respective rankings, so even if Shiina Mashiro won the top prize directly, it wouldn't be exposed.

Chapter 274: Kishibe Rohan of Pure Love

Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage is indeed quite lucky.

Upon arriving in Morioh, they encountered 20-year-old Kishibe Rohan, who was preparing to move back to his hometown and was looking for a suitable place to live in Morioh.

After all, the distinctive plaid headband on the other person's head was quite eye-catching, and coupled with his arrogant attitude, it was almost certain that the other person was the one whose identity he was.

To be fair, 20-year-old Kishibe Rohan is really annoying.

During this period, Kishibe Rohan achieved fame at a young age and was full of vigor. He had no interest in money and his only thought was to draw more interesting stories for his readers.

Under these circumstances, Rohan Kishibe Rohan in the main story, after being pierced by an "arrow" and obtaining the Stand of Heaven's Door, possesses the Stand ability to turn other people's pasts into books, thus fully revealing the strong and arrogant side of his personality.

After discovering Hirose Koichi's past, he kept using Heaven's Door to exploit him. It wasn't until he accidentally mocked Hirose Koichi 'Higashikata Josuke hairstyle and got beaten up that he toned it down a bit when facing the main characters. Later, he also helped the main characters a lot.

However, even the original author stated that Kishibe Rohan cannot be considered an ally.

Most of the time, Kishibe Rohan maintains the position of an observer, but when faced with something that truly interests him, he sometimes easily crosses that taboo line.

Just like in the main story, he almost killed himself because of his curiosity, which led to the death of a Stand User a pure negative Stand user who couldn't let anyone see his back.

Later in the spin-off works, there were several scenes where he took the initiative to fight but was almost killed by a more advanced power.

Overall, Kishibe Rohan is "a fanatic who was born for manga and who constantly pursues realism in his manga creations."

Most of what he does is to enable him to create better comics.

Therefore, when the Kuro figure that Miyauchi Hiyage had meticulously created appeared in front of Kishibe Rohan by this mysterious entity, which readers referred to as the author's alternate account, the other party immediately used the power of Heaven's Door on the Kuro figure.

Then the other person dislocated their arm because they swung it too fast.

After all, the Wonder of U body. Kishibe Rohan's ability is quite idealistic. He can use it not only on himself, but sometimes even on plants or ghosts. However, at least in the entire manga Kishibe Rohan has never shown the ability to turn other people's Stands into books.

Furthermore, some urban legends, Vengeful Spirit, and monster tales can easily break through the restrictions of Heaven's Door, which represents the upper limit of Kishibe Rohan's abilities.

Being a detective in the Front World is fine, but don't even think about getting involved in the big events in the Reverse Side World.
