A New Targeted Lottery
When Miyauchi Hiyage went to Morioh, it was the first day of exam week.
It wasn't until after the midterm exams at Houtonji High School that Miyauchi Hiyage published this diary entry.
For the first few days, he basically shared stories and settings about the Joestar Family and Stands with the girls in his diary. Occasionally, he would also broaden his thinking and talk about other superpowers, such as Persona and Nen from Hunter x Hunter.
Of course, he also emphasized to the girls the story of Kira Yoshikage, the legendary hunter who was the final boss in Part 4 and became the protagonist in Part 8, fusing materials.
After all, investigating Kira Yoshikage and searching the entire Morioh to confirm the number of Stand User in the town is not something that can be done in a day or two.
It was only after following Kira Yoshikage around for several days and not seeing any weakness from him, and not giving Kishibe Rohan an opportunity to be alone with him and release Heaven's Door, that Kishibe Rohan suggested the night raid.
Although the process was a bit bumpy, the final outcome was still good.
Although the You Know Who had mentioned the existence of Aliens in this world a long time ago, You Know Who had not discussed anything specific in detail before.
The girls who possessed the Diary did so either because they couldn't find the Aliens on their own, or because even other superhumans around them might not be able to identify them after they were separated from the Diary.
Another issue is that, almost certainly, the "Shibuya Incident" is looming over them, with the threat of an incident expected to erupt in six months.
Although they all knew that the incident was related to Ryomen Sukuna, they were still unsure how the King of Curses, who had been sealed away a thousand years ago, would be resurrected, what actions he would take after his resurrection, and what impact the Shibuya Incident would have on the world.
This is still an unknown for them.
They only learned from fragments in the You Know Who's diary that the Shibuya Incident must have caused great damage to the local area.
And after that, the situation in the Reverse Side World could no longer be hidden, which also announced to the outside world that the superhumans had returned to the public eye after two centuries.
In the nearly two months since they received the Diary, the girls have actually witnessed the changes in the world.
The trend of Mystery Revival has long been uncontrollable, and it is meaningless to simply suppress the extraordinary beings in the Reverse Side World.
They all knew that in the near future, the world would usher in a new era of extraordinary achievements, and they were largely in agreement on this point.
The only question is, in what form should we enter the extraordinary era?
No matter how you look at it, the Shibuya Incident was not a good starting point.
Therefore, during this time, Yotsuya Miko and Shinomiya Kaguya were Ryomen Sukuna at the Jujutsu High, trying to nip everything in the bud.
However, their current strength is still a bit too much for them to deal with such a special-level existence.
After all, Ryomen Sukuna is a powerful being who can easily create a top-tier cursed spirit by simply splitting off a single finger.
Not to mention that Sukuna at his peak could be considered the strongest curse master in history.
A level one superhuman is not qualified to participate in this matter.
Moreover, even the Jujutsu High today don't believe that the Ryomen Sukuna, sealed away for over a thousand years with its twenty fingers scattered and kept separately, will ever return to the world.
Previously, Shinomiya Kaguya had been trying to make Satoru Gojo more vigilant about this matter.
However, this strongest Sorcerers in the modern era seemed to really not care about these things, and even tapped on her side to ask if Ryomen Sukuna could defeat Satoru Gojo if he returned in his prime.
To this, Satoru Gojo's answer was still the classic "We will win."
Seeing Satoru Gojo's overly confident demeanor, Shinomiya Kaguya decided to temporarily give up on approaching Satoru Gojo.
Or perhaps, Satoru Gojo, who has been invincible in the Jujutsu Society for too long, really wants to meet an opponent with whom he can have a thorough and enjoyable three hundred rounds of battle.
Knowing that Ryomen Sukuna might be resurrected, he might not actively try to stop him, and might even give him a chance to recover his strength.
Sometimes, Shinomiya Kaguya could really understand why the You Know Who wrote in his diary that after Satoru Gojo died, his students would start criticizing him instead.
After all, Satoru Gojo is sometimes really arrogant and deserves a beating.
But none of that matters now.
The King of Curses from a thousand years ago has made a powerful return after a thousand years of silence?
Could the Shibuya Incident have resulted in the entire Shibuya being burned to the ground?
That's nothing!
Earth, located on the edge of the Milky Way, is being targeted by so many Aliens for some reason. Leaving aside those who come to Earth through normal means to study humans, what exactly do the remaining 90% of Aliens who specifically sneak over want to do to Earth?
Then, ancient monsters are hidden underground and underwater. The original Ultraman also came to join the fun and sealed one of the monsters on Earth. No one knows when these monsters will awaken along with Ultraman Tiga.
However, the most significant plot point is that the three princesses of the largest empire in the galaxy will come to Earth in the future and be won over by a gentle and kind Japanese male protagonist, becoming members of his harem.
"So, what kind of messed-up settings are these?" Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just become a Level 1 Extraordinary being recognized by the Jujutsu High, was initially quite happy, feeling that she had taken another step closer to the pinnacle of this world.
But seeing the You Know Who's diary update today, which suddenly elevated the perspective from the small stage of Japan to the vastness of the universe, she was genuinely starting to question her life.
However, as a core member of the group, she also had to manage her own emotions at this time and take the initiative to soothe the anxiety of the other girls in the group.
Kaguya: "Anyway, everyone, don't worry too much. The You Know Who mentioned the existence of Aliens and Otherworlders a long time ago. Maybe there are even quite a few humans from the future hidden in our time."
"Think about Tohru, who was saved by Menma. Isn't she a dragon from another world? According to the You Know Who, her father, as one of the strongest beings in that world, also possessed the power to destroy the world."
"But someone with that kind of power certainly wouldn't make a move so easily."
"Besides, there was also a Japanese high school student who successfully won over the three princesses of that empire. The You Know Who said that he was a character in a harem anime, and there's no need to pay too much attention to the setting."
"As the protagonist of the story, even if he's just a useless, good-for-nothing male lead who only knows how to win people over with his gentleness, if something really happens to threaten the Earth, how could he and his harem just stand by and watch the Earth be destroyed?"
"It should be said that because of the other party's existence, Earth will definitely not encounter any real crisis before the other party's story ends."
UMR: "And there's Ultraman Tiga. I choose to believe in the power of Ultraman. Even if something really happens to the Land of Light, the You Know Who said before that Ultraman Tiga's power is dormant on Earth. When that time comes, Ultraman Tiga will definitely awaken."
Putting aside other things, although in this world, the Ultraman series only consists of a few series filmed half a century ago, after which Tsuburaya Productions in this world went bankrupt and could not recover.
But the name Ultraman is still quite inspiring even today.
After Umaru mentioned that Ultraman Tiga's power was dormant on Earth, or rather, somewhere in Japan, the girls in the group were indeed quite reassured.
After all, he is Ultraman.
Aliens, monsters, and yokai have always been the most common opponents for Ultraman, making them a perfect match for the characters.
Black Cat: "But our world is really a bit too bad. Not only are there threats inside the Earth, but there are also so many enemies outside the Earth, and even dangers from other worlds."
Kashiko Kasumi: "After all, according to the You Know Who, these are all stories created by Earthlings from his world. Creators from each country are more likely to create stories based on their own circumstances. Most creators who are currently trapped on Earth can only set their stories on Earth."
"Then the world we live in now is a jumbled mess of countless stories like this. So there are all sorts of supernatural powers on Earth, the Milky Way outside Earth is also a mess, and there are a bunch of workers who have been dragged to other worlds to work. If you think about it carefully, you'll think the setting is too outrageous, but this world can still run smoothly."
"Sometimes, I wonder if the You Know Who from another time and space who knows our whole story really considers this world to be a real world, or whether he sees us 'heroines in the story' as human beings, or just as NPCs acting according to the plot."
"If it's the latter, then the other party probably treats the entire world as a game world that unfolds only for him."
What Kasumigaoka Utaha mentioned caused another long silence in the group.
After all, the You Know Who has been hiding his identity to this day and has not had any public interaction with anyone.
Judging from the diary entries, the person in question was a working adult who had long been an adult. His identity as a time traveler had not had a significant impact on him before, nor had he had much interaction with other characters in the story.
One day, after obtaining the Diary, this person decided to resign and go out to investigate the world alone.
Besides that, they knew that the You Know Who had a rather wicked personality and that his favorite thing to do was to see how devastated these girls were after they saw their original stories written in their diaries and publicly executed.
For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shinomiya Kaguya were tortured by a You Know Who for half a month.
This guy even goes so far as to break through the constraints of the original story by entering Miyauchi Hiyage's dream to cause trouble.
Although Miyauchi Hiyage, who had awakened the Destiny Power, ultimately turned the tables on him, this also shows that he was probably a petty person.
However, this guy occasionally shows kindness to certain characters.
For example, there's Katsura Kotonoha, who almost fell into a scumbag's trap; Miyano Shiho, who was trapped in the research institute and used her sister as a Shiho Miyano; and Gotou Hitori, who is socially awkward.
Because of the You Know Who's unique attitude towards Gotou Hitori, Shinomiya Kaguya actually investigated everyone Gotou Hitori knew before, until she began to suspect Miyauchi Hiyage and then stopped.
Therefore, after seeing that Kashiko Kasumi had doubts about her existence, Shinomiya Kaguya stepped forward once again.
Kaguya: "Don't worry about the You Know Who's attitude towards us. Since he doesn't intend to appear in front of us or take the initiative to contact us, but instead chooses to hide behind the scenes and observe us, then we should just treat him as a high-dimensional being that we cannot reach."
"Furthermore, I don't think the You Know Who treats us as NPCs."
"Haven't you noticed that, compared to the month when we first got the Diary, the You Know Who's behavior these past few days has been significantly different from before?"
After all, the You Know Who in the past was always alone, no matter what he did or where he went.
If we're talking about who the You Know Who has actively contacted in the past, it seems to be only the once quite famous former high school detective Shinichi Kudo, who has now become a child, Edogawa Conan, after taking the poison developed by Shiho Miyano.
However, at that time, the You Know Who was mostly looking for the other party out of curiosity.
According to the Conan story, the other party is a work that has been serialized for over thirty years, and since shrinking, he has been living in the house of his childhood friend, yet he has kept his true identity a secret from her for thirty years.
The You Know Who disliked this kind of plot, so they directly intervened and exposed the other party's identity.
However, after that, the You Know Who basically stopped appearing in front of the other party, at most asking Jerry to provide some information about the Organization.
But this time, the You Know Who's trip to Morioh was different.
The other party immediately found Rohan Kishibe Rohan and spent several days together exploring Morioh.
Even if the You Know Who used some method to conceal their face, their behavior over the past few days would still reveal some subconscious habits.
Kaguya: "So, considering that the You Know Who wrote in his diary that he also wanted the extraordinary era to arrive quickly, perhaps he is already laying the groundwork for his future rise to the stage."
Chapter 296: A New Targeted Lottery
While the other girls were discussing what threat Aliens might pose to Earth and how the You Know Who regarded them.
Miyauchi Hiyage was out with Katsura Kotonoha and Shinomiya Kaguya, completing some quests.
Meanwhile, Shiina Mashiro is still exploring the Impression Space. Today, the person who entered the Impression Space with Gotou Hitori's phone is Umaru, who is currently getting used to the technique of smashing shadows with mahjong tiles.
Because Shiina Mashiro wasn't with her, Miyauchi Hiyage had no idea what Shinomiya Kaguya and the others were talking about on their phones.
But Miyauchi Hiyage herself knew that her diary entry today would have a huge impact, and she could roughly guess what the girls were talking about.
However, he is now only 8% away from completing his progress bar, which is why he told Katsura Kotonoha this morning that he would take her to practice.
Then Shinomiya Kaguya, following the scent, came over and said that she had also taken on a patrol mission at the Jujutsu High. She even took the initiative to lead Miyauchi Hiyage to a place where there had been many supernatural rumors recently.
It seems she just happened to refresh this quest today, and the enemies inside are most likely at least level one.
Shinomiya Kaguya probably knew that she was struggling to deal with such an enemy on her own, which is why she came to ask Miyauchi Hiyage for help.
I also wanted to come and see how big the gap is between their current strengths.
After replying to the group's speculations about the You Know Who's psychology, Shinomiya Kaguya turned to look at Miyauchi Hiyage, a smile on her face, "Speaking of which, Himakage, why don't you go train in the Impression Space? I've Mashiro doesn't seem to be very interested in the Impression Space lately, but training there is indeed quite effective."
That's the truth. While Shiina Mashiro's job template can be leveled up through constant practice in daily life, it's generally faster to level up during battles.
Judging from Shiina Mashiro's current strength, she has leveled up about ten times in the past few days in the Impression Space and has also learned a lot of new skills.
The other few people who had a spot had also rapidly improved their combat experience in the past few days. If they didn't still need to find Chizuru Ichinose's shadow to help her awaken her Persona, they would probably be exploring even deeper now.
"Because that world doesn't mean much to me, and it would restrict my Destiny Power there, so I can't fully unleash my strength there," Miyauchi Hiyage casually rambled on. "Moreover, I think that world must be hiding some secrets. Its appearance must have a reason, so you'd better be careful enough when you explore it to avoid any accidents."
Shinomiya Kaguya carefully observed Miyauchi Hiyage's tone and expression as he spoke.
However, it's similar to before; there's still no flaw to be seen.
However, she still took Miyauchi Hiyage's words to heart.
Although this app was obtained by Sudo Ayami as a reward for her Diary, there shouldn't be too much risk involved.
However, judging from Sudo Ayami's reaction, the other party did indeed conceal something, perhaps the changes it caused to this world after its appearance.
"My telekinesis is enough for now. If I can complete this request tonight, I should get another chance to draw a prize. I wonder if I can get some special power this time," Shinomiya Kaguya muttered to herself.
Now that she has reached level one, the daily tasks that appear in her Diary are significantly more difficult than before.
She also tried to do a B-level exorcism request these past few days, and the results were very satisfactory. However, she still felt some pressure during the exorcism process and couldn't directly kill those level two cursed spirits.
This is even under the condition that a level two cursed spirit has no self-awareness.
If it were a level one cursed spirit with intelligence, she should be able to take it down easily after she spends more time gaining combat experience in the Impression Space or completing more exorcism missions in reality.
However, plans can't keep up with changes, and today she suddenly received a refreshing A-level commission.
A-rank requests come with a chance to win a prize. Having gained her current strength through the lottery, how could Shinomiya Kaguya possibly refuse this request?
She had originally planned to spend money to hire a senior level 1 Sorcerers from the Jujutsu High to help her, but with the increasingly frequent supernatural events lately, the Jujutsu High was busy putting out fires everywhere, and at least today they couldn't spare a single capable level 1 Sorcerers.
However, she happened to learn from Katsura Kotonoha that Miyauchi Hiyage planned to take her to find some unlucky Vengeful Spirit in Beika Town to practice on today, so she set her sights on Miyauchi Hiyage.
Even without considering other factors, Miyauchi Hiyage, without using the Destiny Power, already possesses the strength of a level one swordsman using only his swordsmanship. In addition, since he copied most of the inventory of Jujutsu High Repository, it doesn't seem unreasonable to regard him as a special-grade swordsman.
To her relief, Miyauchi Hiyage was indeed quite agreeable in this regard. He had only planned to casually train with Katsura Kotonoha in Beika Town, and he readily agreed to her request.
The process of completing the commission was much simpler than she had imagined.
Upon arriving at the location provided by the client, Miyauchi Hiyage stated that they were being targeted by numerous Vengeful Spirit.
