Signs of Megumi Kato's Stand

Although Gotou Hitori doesn't seem to be affected on the surface, and Miyauchi Hiyage hasn't said anything, Miyauchi Hiyage hasn't awakened her Stand yet, so it's hard to say whether losing her shadow for too long might have a negative impact on Gotou Hitori's main body.

So we should hurry up and find her Stand, at least to make Gotou Hitori able to control her own Stand.

After Shinomiya Kaguya asked the question, the girls present also began to think.

"Given the way stand-ins act entirely on their own impulses, she probably wants to go to a lively place to attract attention right now."

"She bought those clothes at the mall before, probably intending to wear them out."

Yukino Yukinoshita mentioned this possibility.

Upon hearing this, Gotou Hitori was completely petrified.

So, her body double had to wear her appearance, those trench coats and leather pants, and go out to perform covered in earrings and rings?

If her parents, sister, and classmates at school who know her were to see these videos...

Just thinking about this possibility made Gotou Hitori feel that his future was bleak.

"Anyway, let's go look around in a few lively places first. Morioh isn't a big city. If we just go to the station in the city center and the area around the shopping mall, we might be able to find their trail."

There aren't many crowded places in Morioh, especially now that an earthquake has just occurred. Even tourists wouldn't choose this time to make a special trip here.

After being simply divided into several groups, ensuring that each group had at least one superhuman, the search for the fake Bocchi began in earnest.

They made quite a commotion, and not only Tonio and Masamichi Yaga, but even the girls who didn't get the Diary quickly heard about it.

"Someone has actually awakened the power of a Stand. I thought that Kasumigaoka guy was joking with me," Eriri muttered to herself, along with Kato Megumi Eriri Spencer Sawamura and Miyauchi Kouka, whom she had been in frequent contact with recently.

Unlike Kato Megumi and Miyauchi Kouka, Eriri Spencer Sawamura hadn't really interacted with Miyauchi Hiyage much and wasn't very clear about Miyauchi Hiyage current strength.

She just had more contact with Shiina Mashiro. The reason she was able to stay in the same room with Miyauchi Kouka and Kato Megumi today was because they had been helping Shiina Mashiro her original drawings in her room earlier.

Shiina Mashiro went to the presidential suite because of a notification from Shinomiya Kaguya, and the three girls chatted in Shiina Mashiro's room.

Shiina Mashiro is a rather quiet person by nature. She always appears indifferent to people and things that she is not interested in, and she will not take the initiative to talk to people about these things.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura herself was only thinking about learning some drawing skills from Shiina Mashiro and making her debut as Shiina Mashiro's assistant in the future, so she naturally had no intention of asking Shiina Mashiro about these things.

Kato Megumi and Miyauchi Kouka realized that Miyauchi Hiyage had undergone many changes recently after Shiina Mashiro appeared.

Afterwards, although they didn't know exactly what had happened to Miyauchi Hiyage, they still roughly understood that the world was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

He also knew that Miyauchi Hiyage had become a powerful figure in the Reverse Side World thanks to an ability he had awakened that was related to fate.

However, as Miyauchi Hiyage's twin sister, Miyauchi Kouka doesn't seem to have much talent in these areas, and may even be less so than Kato Megumi, who has a weaker innate presence.

Of course, they themselves didn't particularly care about these things.

After all, with the Miyauchi Hiyage protecting them, no one dared to lay a hand on them.

Therefore, they don't usually talk about supernatural powers when they chat.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura, on the other hand, is still somewhat skeptical about these things.

Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha had already shown her some extraordinary methods in order to help her let go of her feelings for Aki Tomoya as soon as possible, she still didn't completely believe in these things.

Even now, seeing the message Kasumigaoka Utaha sent her, she was still a little unsure.

She also specifically asked Kato Megumi and Miyauchi Kouka what they thought.

Miyauchi Kouka, however, remained as confident as ever.

"I already knew about the Stand from the Kage. It should be real, and I'll definitely awaken it sooner or later!"

Seeing Miyauchi Kouka's confidence, Eriri Spencer Sawamura's gaze towards Miyauchi Kouka changed slightly.

In other words, Kato Megumi already knew what kind of personality her friend was during the two months they spent together, so there was no surprise on her face at all.

"When I came here before, I told the Japanese Kage that the awakening of a Stand is also related to bloodline. When a person awakens a Stand, people related to him by blood are more likely to obtain a Stand than ordinary people."

Miyauchi Kouka patted his chest without any doubt. "Everyone says that Hinkage is a genius who is one in a million, no, he should be called an unparalleled genius. Given his situation, he will definitely awaken his Stand. In fact, if only one person among us here is capable of awakening a Stand, then it can only be Hinkage."

"If he hasn't been able to awaken a Stand, I really don't know who among us has. I think he might have already secretly obtained a Stand, but because the Stand's power is too strong, he plans to keep it as a trump card and doesn't intend to reveal it for the time being."

As she said this, Miyauchi Kouka pointed to herself again. "No matter what, I am her twin sister, the person in the world closest to her by blood. When that time comes, I can at least get my Stand awakened by riding on that Hinakage guy's coattails!"

Miyauchi Kouka placed a great deal of trust in her twin brother, Miyauchi Hiyage, and had no worries that he would disappoint her. She only needed to patiently wait for her to awaken her Stand through the Miyauchi Family bloodline.

Eriri Spencer Sawamura, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard Miyauchi Kouka's spineless words.

However, she was also somewhat curious about Miyauchi Hiyage.

After all, in her interactions with Shiina Mashiro, although Shiina Mashiro never mentioned the Reverse Side World to her, she had heard the name Miyauchi Hiyage quite often.

It's worth noting that the manga "Shiina Mashiro: How to Raise Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" currently being serialized by Shiina Mashiro was created by Miyauchi Hiyage Himeka, who took the original novel and helped Shiina Mashiro complete novice in manga, to complete the character designs and panel layouts for the manga adaptation.

It can be said that Shiina Mashiro only contributed her drawing skills, and the rest of the work was almost entirely completed thanks to Miyauchi Hiyage's abilities.

Therefore, she was indeed somewhat curious about the boy who had almost single-handedly raised Shiina Mashiro.

Now that she heard that Miyauchi Hiyage seemed to be quite strong, she became even more concerned about Miyauchi Hiyage situation.

Chapter 359: Signs of Kato Megumi's Substitute

In fact, neither Kato Megumi nor Miyauchi Kouka were entirely clear about Miyauchi Hiyage's true strength.

After all, they hadn't seen Miyauchi Hiyage make a move much.

Miyauchi Kouka had only seen Miyauchi Hiyage teach Katsura Kotonoha swordsmanship in the courtyard that morning, and had briefly experienced the Wonder of U.

To avoid worrying her family and to prevent Miyauchi Kouka from scaring herself.

It's clear that Miyauchi Hiyage wouldn't tell Miyauchi Kouka about being assassinated by forces from the Reverse Side World.

Therefore, Miyauchi Kouka only vaguely knew some of his younger brother's strength from the attitudes of the girls around him.

However, Miyauchi Kouka has been with the news agency for over a month and has written many news articles, so her ability to make things up has improved a lot.

Now that Eriri Spencer Sawamura wants to hear it, she's just going on and on about her little brother's "deeds".

He had the skill of mastering all kendo techniques on his first try, and could easily cut through steel with a single strike.

Or perhaps during the filming of those videos, they really did encounter something evil, but were easily killed by Miyauchi Hiyage, and what was released to the audience was only a small, insignificant part of it.

Furthermore, every night he would disguise himself and go out to eliminate the ever-increasing evil spirits lurking in the darkness of Tokyo, which occasionally resulted in injuries from fighting off enemies. However, Miyauchi Hiyage never spoke of these things, but silently protected the peace of this world.

As he spoke, Miyauchi Kouka himself began to take it seriously, actually shaping his younger brother into a tragic hero unknown to anyone.

Seeing Miyauchi Kouka pretending to wipe his eyes and act all self-satisfied while talking, Eriri Spencer Sawamura was really fooled.

After all, she hadn't really spent much time alone with Miyauchi Hiyage in private. Now that her older sister Miyauchi Kouka was showing such "genuine feelings," she had a lot of new ideas about Miyauchi Hiyage, a boy who was usually quiet at school and always had a gentle personality.

Miyauchi Kouka originally wanted to continue portraying his younger brother as even more heroic, until he was suddenly hit on the head by something hard.

"Ouch!" Miyauchi Kouka suddenly clutched his head and wailed.

She looked up and saw that a crystal from the chandelier above her had fallen off and hit her on the head.

Kato Megumi and Eriri Spencer Sawamura, who were standing nearby, immediately came over with some concern to check if Miyauchi Kouka was injured from being hit.

"It's nothing, it's just bad luck..." Miyauchi Kouka rubbed his head and waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

Kato Megumi, who was standing to the side, sighed softly, walked over and gently rubbed Miyauchi Kouka's injured area. She also took out some medicine specifically for treating sprains and bruises and handed it to her friend.

"Hasn't I told you so many times already? His ability allows him to defend himself and search his surroundings, so don't talk badly about him behind his back. This is the seventh time already..."

This sentence immediately brought Eriri back to reality, who was still imagining in her mind that Eriri Spencer Sawamura Miyauchi Hiyage covered in various scars without anyone knowing.

Her gaze toward Kato Megumi also became somewhat puzzled.

Miyauchi Kouka felt wronged by this.

"I didn't just add a little bit of sentimentality, okay? I didn't say anything bad about him. This is our news agency's style, I just didn't expect it to trigger that guy's defense mechanism. He's just too sensitive."

But after being hit like that, Miyauchi Kouka did indeed behave herself.

Faced with Eriri Spencer Sawamura's questioning expression, he could only honestly admit that he had indeed exaggerated a bit.

"Okay, actually my brother isn't that bad off. Although he does often disappear all night and I don't know where he goes to uphold justice, he's very strong, so he's basically never been injured."

She pointed to the chandelier above her head.

"This is the superpower that my brother awakened a while ago. It's basically the ability to bring good luck to those who are good to him and bad luck to those who are bad to him."

Eriri Spencer Sawamura blinked.

Just a moment ago he was a lonely hero with his back to the lights of thousands of homes, how did he suddenly become an invincible figure with his back to all living beings?

Although she didn't know much about the Reverse Side World, just hearing Miyauchi Kouka's description, she could roughly imagine how powerful it was.

Being able to change someone else's luck—isn't that manipulating someone else's destiny?

Miyauchi Kouka had only made up a few words, and in the blink of an eye, she encountered misfortune. Even if she didn't know where the limit of this ability was, in just this moment, Miyauchi Hiyage's figure became mysterious and unpredictable in Eriri Spencer Sawamura.

"However, Hikage-kun doesn't usually use his ability recklessly. It's just that Guanghua is always skeptical and tries to find the loopholes in Hikage-kun's ability, which is why she repeatedly tests the edge of this ability and suffers so many losses," Kato Megumi explained to Eriri Spencer Sawamura in a gentle tone.

"And to be honest, as long as we don't speak ill of Riying-kun or do anything that might harm him, those of us who know Riying-kun are actually much luckier than the average person. So just communicate with Riying-kun with a normal attitude. Riying-kun is a very warm-hearted person. If someone he knows encounters any trouble, he is usually willing to help solve it."

Compared to the tragic hero image that Miyauchi Kouka had previously portrayed, the Miyauchi Hiyage described by Kato Megumi does indeed seem to be more in line with her usual understanding of Miyauchi Hiyage at school.

She accidentally lost her wallet while at school, and it was Miyauchi Hiyage who found it. To avoid gossip, she specifically asked Miyauchi Kouka, a girl, to bring it to her.

Including what we later learned from Shiina Mashiro and Kasumigaoka Utaha, Miyauchi Hiyage was indeed a warm-hearted and almost omnipotent figure.

"If that's the case, why don't they ask Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage to help find that substitute?" Eriri Spencer Sawamura muttered curiously.

"Of course, it's for fun."

The one speaking was Miyauchi Hiyage.

However, his voice came from outside the room.

Then, there was a knock on Shiina Mashiro's door.

Upon hearing his younger brother's voice, Miyauchi Kouka's face immediately fell, while Kato Megumi walked briskly to the door and opened it for Miyauchi Hiyage.

"Thanks, Hui."

Miyauchi Hiyage thanked Kato Megumi, and then nodded to Eriri Spencer Sawamura, who was looking at him with a slightly nervous expression, as a greeting.

Then, he walked up to his older sister.

"I just realized that my ability has been triggered again. After sensing it for a moment, I found that you were talking bad about me behind my back again. You really have brought the charm of journalism to its fullest potential."

"Luckily, I've been holding back my abilities the whole time. What happened just now was only the lowest level of misfortune, otherwise you would have been twisting your ankle for at least a few more days."

He reached out, and a Ripple flashed across his palm. In just a few seconds, the bump on Miyauchi Kouka's head disappeared.

Although the healing effect of Ripple is not as outrageously fast as the Reverse Cursed Technique, it should not be used lightly for limb regeneration.

But for Miyauchi Hiyage, who is like a little sun himself, using Ripple to treat those common injuries is still a piece of cake.

However, his own strength far exceeds his healing ability, so people don't usually come to him for help with healing. At most, when instructing Katsura Kotonoha and the others, he simply teaches them how to breathe to maximize the healing effect of Ripple.

"I only slightly embellished your story, so you still need to find a way to get on a whitelist," Miyauchi Kouka retorted stubbornly.

Miyauchi Hiyage didn't say anything, but simply tapped her older sister's head lightly with a chop to the head.

He can actually add people to the whitelist, but it's really unnecessary.

"Alright," Miyauchi Hiyage glanced at Kato Megumi beside her, then said to her older sister, "You two must be talking about Stand User, right? That's why I'm here."

Upon hearing Miyauchi Hiyage's words, Miyauchi Kouka immediately perked up.

"So, bro, you've already awakened your Stand?"

"What kind of ability have you awakened? Can you use that bloodline connection to help your older sister awaken a substitute as well?"

Miyauchi Hiyage waved his hand.

"You can awaken your Stand anytime you want, but if your Ripple is still only half-baked like it is now, your body and mind may not be able to withstand the power of the Stand."

"Therefore, for the sake of your health, I can only forcibly suppress my own power and prevent it from awakening."

"Do you know that Renge has already far surpassed you in the cultivation of Ripple? If you continue like this, it's really hard for me to feel at ease."

Miyauchi Hiyage Hitsakage was just making things up, but Miyauchi Kouka was clearly taking it seriously.

Her eyes immediately lit up as she looked at her younger brother, rubbing her hands together and her tone becoming increasingly flattering.

"It's alright, it's alright. If you can awaken your Stand, I will definitely train my Ripple diligently and will not let you down!"

"Let's wait until you show it off. I don't want to see you awaken a Stand and end up half-dead."

Miyauchi Hiyage wasn't joking when he said that.

He now holds projections of these meteorite fragments in his hands. Awakening a Stand isn't that difficult for him; he just needs to work with Tohru and the others to figure out how to awaken someone without side effects.
