The Manga Distribution Plan
However, due to the influence of the so-called "plot", most of them don't seem to have anything particularly outstanding.
Just like B Komachi, where Hoshino Ai lives.
In Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes, even excluding Hoshino Ai, who was the absolute center, the other members of the group were all above average.
Logically speaking, with a beautiful girl Hoshino Ai who is designed to be Idol, her face alone should be enough to win over a bunch of fans.
As a result, even four years after Hoshino Ai's debut, B Komachi remains a relatively unknown underground Idol group.
According to the You Know Who, the other party only became truly popular after "giving birth to children" and understanding how to express the emotion of "love".
Even so, it took B Komachi another four years before Hoshino Ai finally stepped onto the stage of Tokyo Dome when she was 20 years old.
Of course, since they obtained the Diary, the original storyline should no longer be able to restrain them.
At least Shinomiya Kaguya only provided some small resources to Hoshino Ai, her "junior," and in just half a month, B Komachi's popularity had increased several times over.
It was precisely because she saw the returns from her investments that Shinomiya Kaguya decided to recruit more valuable supporting characters to her name.
Takanashi Shingo can certainly be considered an investment as well.
Unexpectedly, after being promoted, Takanashi Shingo immediately planned to take his wife and three daughters on a family trip for a few days during the Golden Week holiday.
Originally, that branch of the family could still keep three daughters, but if something really happens to them now, that branch of the family will be completely cut off.
At first, Takanashi Rikka held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that since her uncle's fate had already changed, it shouldn't be this time.
As a result, she refreshed this commission.
He himself was to stop Takanashi Shingo and his family from boarding the plane.
Furthermore, there is an additional restriction on the commission: you cannot borrow the power of other diary holders, otherwise the commission will be deemed a failure.
So she first mentioned it in the group chat, and then forcibly dragged her older sister to Tokyo during the holiday to make sure nothing else happened to her during the holiday.
If it's truly impossible to stop it, then we can only wait for Shinomiya Kaguya to take action.
After all, the punishment for failing a commission is better than losing his uncle's family.
Miyauchi Hiyage, on the other hand, did not continue to monitor this matter.
With Shinomiya Kaguya around, as long as no supernatural forces interfere, the plane shouldn't be in any major trouble.
All he wants now is to go back to his base camp for a few days to relax and see if there have been any changes in the situation in Asahigaoka after he left for a month.
After instructing Jerry and Shiina Mashiro on how to handle various situations, Miyauchi Hiyage asked Itou Kaiji to be his driver so they could return to Asahigaoka together.
After all, we really need to keep a close eye on Itou Kaiji. If we don't keep an eye on him, he'll probably spend his entire Golden Week holiday either playing pinball or giving money to women at nightclubs.
Let him continue filming some cheesy videos in Asahigaoka these next few days.
However, Itou Kaiji had barely touched a steering wheel since graduating from driving school, couldn't really drive fast.
Fortunately, they managed to return to Asahigaoka before it got completely dark.
A month later, seeing his younger sister again at his own doorstep, Miyauchi Hiyage watched as Miyauchi Renka rushed towards him upon seeing him and picked her up in a hug. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that the younger sister he had raised with his own hands was indeed different.
He asked Renge how she felt about going to school while sensing the Ripple within his younger sister's body.
As he had imagined, Renge was young and her physical condition limited her progress in Ripple.
Furthermore, she doesn't have the ability to add points to her Reading Points like other girls who own Diary. It's estimated that even if she trains until she reaches adulthood, it will be difficult for her to use the Ripple within her body for combat.
However, Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage only wanted his younger sister to grow up healthier and never considered exposing Miyauchi Renka to dangerous things.
Besides, even if Miyauchi Renka's current cultivation is only average, she still has the seed of Ripple within her body.
Compared to her fickle older sister, she's already quite good.
He glanced at Miyauchi Kouka, who had been running home muttering "eat, eat" as soon as he got off the bus, forgetting to take his luggage with him.
Then he listened to Miyauchi Renka telling him about her school days while she was in his arms, and she kept complaining about how her older sister always slept in class and made everyone use the lesson plans he had compiled back then to study.
Well, the first two daughters of the Miyauchi Family were indeed not very reliable.
Comparing the two, I realized that my younger sister, who just started elementary school, is much easier to take care of.
Holding Renge in one arm and carrying luggage in the other, he walked into the house with Itou Kaiji.
His parents seem to be making pretty good progress in their Ripple training.
After all, they were all country folk. Even though the Miyauchi Family was a small landowner and, under Asahigaoka Miyauchi Hiyage, they were still down-to-earth people and would still work in the fields together.
Maintaining a rhythmic, Ripple breathing pattern while working is significantly easier than working normally.
Under these circumstances, seeing that the wrinkles on her parents' faces seemed to have decreased somewhat, Miyauchi Hiyage was still very gratified.
As for her eldest sister...
It can only be said that Miyauchi Hiyage's decision was correct.
His sleepy older sister didn't need him to worry about her at all. He only needed to get her used to the rhythm of Ripple Breathing while she was sleeping. He didn't even need to tell her about Ripple Breathing; she could control the power of Ripple while she was sleeping.
It now appears that even though the Ripple that Miyauchi Hiyage left in her body to guide her breathing has dissipated, new Ripple have been generated within her body to automatically guide her breathing.
From this perspective, although his older sister's Ripple strength is far inferior to those girls who have Diary, in terms of spiritual realm, perhaps only Shiina Mashiro, who has a similarly pure mind, can compare with her.
After a simple dinner and a casual chat about the events of the past month, Miyauchi Kazaho, who had originally planned to go back to her room to continue sleeping, seemed to remember something and turned to look at her younger brother.
"Oh right, now that you're back, Hikage, you'll be in charge of organizing Asahigaoka's spring outing this year!"
After saying that, Miyauchi Kazaho waved to Miyauchi Hiyage and left the living room without giving him any time to speak.
Miyauchi Hiyage's lips twitched.
Originally, there were no field trips at the Asahigaoka Branch School, but ever since he felt bored in elementary school and spontaneously organized a field trip based on the spring outings of his previous life, field trips around Golden Week every year have become a tradition.
But now that he has graduated from the Asahigaoka Branch School, even if his older sister, who is a teacher at the Asahigaoka Branch School, doesn't want to worry about this, she can just leave it to Koshigaya Suguru, who is still studying at Asahigaoka.
But seeing her younger sister's expectant look, Miyauchi Hiyage had no choice but to nod in agreement.
After all, he had never gone on a picnic with Renge.
However, his father suddenly remembered something and reminded Miyauchi Hiyage.
"Speaking of outings, do you remember that time seven or eight years ago when you went on an outing to the neighboring Chichibu City and saved a little girl from drowning?"
Honma Meiko, he certainly always remembered her.
After all, he had personally saved the life of an anime character he loved in his previous life. In addition, she had become one of the first girls to receive the Diary, and she would occasionally mention in the group chat that she wanted to come and express her gratitude to him in person. It would be strange if he could forget such a thing.
Miyauchi Hiyage was naturally prepared for the other party's arrival.
As long as you don't reveal that you are the You Know Who, there's nothing else to worry about.
I'll take her for a stroll around the area and let her see the scenery of Asahigaoka.
After all, the other person's body has not yet fully recovered from the drowning incident years ago.
However, Miyauchi Hiyage sometimes felt strange, because the other person hadn't actually been drowning for very long before they rescued him.
Even if drowning did have some impact on her body, it shouldn't have made her so weak.
In short, let's meet the other person in person before making any decisions.
After muttering these thoughts to herself and chatting with her family about the recent situation, Itou Kaiji tidy up a room so he could rest well, and then returned to her own room to write in Miyauchi Hiyage diary for the day.
After his research over the past few days, he discovered that he could still maintain a daily diary entry rate, as long as the word count requirement was met, and he could still receive the same reward even if one of his diaries was not updated.
However, in this case, he wouldn't suffer any losses, but those who didn't update their diaries would naturally not receive the daily Reading Points reward.
Thinking about the day I stopped updating, and how the girls living around Tokyo kept mentioning it from the night until the next day, Miyauchi Hiyage felt that she should write a little bit on both sides.
At least when I don't feel like writing, I can leave a sentence or two to give those girls a chance to earn Reading Points.
Just like those girls who received the Diary in the second batch, apart from Kasumi Miwa, who was exposed to him from the very beginning, Miyauchi Hiyage didn't hear about the other girls after that, and he didn't know who received the second batch of Diary.
"In short, let's write less in the second batch and wait until the information about the other girls is revealed before we talk about it," Miyauchi Hiyage first casually wrote some fabricated information in the second batch of Diary, and then continued to reveal information to these old viewers in the first batch of Diary.
Today is the first day of the Golden Week holiday. If I hadn't received the Diary, I would have gone to relax and take a vacation.
However, since I got the Diary and resigned, I've basically been on vacation every day, so much so that I don't even feel the arrival of Golden Week anymore.
I've been traveling all over Japan lately, searching for information about Aliens and ancient monsters.
As I mentioned before, besides monsters and Vengeful Spirit, there may also be some Aliens in this world who have ill intentions towards Earth.
When I learned that Aliens still exist in this world, I quickly searched all over Japan. After all, although this world has the Ultraman series from the old Showa era, it seems that Tsuburaya Productions went bankrupt after the 1980 Ultraman and has not produced any new Ultraman stories since.
It made me quite nervous.
After all, in my world, Tsuburaya Productions made a comeback thanks to the Ultraman series from the Heisei era.
Moreover, as the elder brother of the Heisei era, Ultraman Tiga can be considered a work that has influenced a generation.
More importantly, the world of Ultraman Tiga also includes those Showa-era Ultraman films and television series, and the name Ultraman Tiga is also derived from Ultraman.
Unfortunately, I don't know if it's because the time hasn't come yet or if there really isn't any in this world, but I haven't found any relics related to Ultraman yet. It seems that I won't be able to become light in this world for the time being.
But this is for the best. After all, if Ultraman really existed in this world, the crises this world would face in the future would not be minor incidents.
Moreover, according to my current research, most of the Aliens who come to Earth are relatively low-key.
After all, there are still many powerful superhumans on Earth, and even monsters and Vengeful Spirit can be considered enemies of those Aliens. With the resurgence of mystery, those Aliens can no longer run rampant on Earth; at most, they will secretly capture a few people to study.
Come to think of it, I haven't found many girls who received the Diary in the second batch. Could it be that the Diary was given to some Aliens or monsters?
In short, I'll continue investigating the few Aliens- related works I remember for a while, and I'll share any good news with you all later.
Chapter 159: The Comic Book Distribution Plan
"So, what's the situation on the Aliens side?"
After reading today's diary, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't fall asleep while clutching her Diary.
Starting a few days ago, the You Know Who began mentioning that he had noticed something and needed to spend time investigating it.
In the following days, the You Know Who would occasionally mention in his diary that he had visited some ruins and discovered some suspicious traces, and that in addition to the legends of monsters, there should also be Aliens in this world.
During those days, the girls' Chat Group was buzzing with discussions about Aliens. They even watched a lot of Aliens- related works and discussed what to do if they actually encountered Aliens.
More importantly, what exactly are those Aliens planning to do, hiding in this small place called Earth?
Is it an invasion of Earth, or is there more to the story?
These You Know Who had been keeping things hidden from them, not telling them anything more, so they didn't know what the Aliens were all about.
Even today, although the You Know Who is still hiding many things, he has at least given them a few clues.
One possibility is that the people in the Reverse Side World may have resisted the Aliens invasion, so the relationship between Earth and those Aliens forces should be maintaining a semblance of stability. At least the You Know Who doesn't seem particularly worried about the Aliens.
The other is a tokusatsu company that went bankrupt years ago, and the Ultraman series that was once popular all over the country.
To be honest, since those are all stories from the Showa era, Kasumigaoka Utaha hasn't really studied these series that have been around for decades.
However, Takanashi Rikka, this chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, seems to have studied many early tokusatsu (special effects) works in order to fill out her character setting, and even designed a lot of transformation moves for herself.
Therefore, she has now begun to tirelessly explain the story and settings of the Ultra Brothers in the group.
Kasumigaoka Utaha simply searched online for some Ultraman- related videos and watched them briefly.
An Ultra Warrior from M78 Nebula, with an enormous stature, battles monsters that appear for various reasons. He can only fight for three minutes on Earth, eventually merging his life force with that of a human...
"In the world before the You Know Who traveled here, although Tsuburaya Productions experienced some problems, it still released new works after the Heisei era and should have achieved great success, saving the company again."
"However, in our world, that company did go bankrupt a long time ago. Now you can't find many videos related to Ultraman online, and we don't know what the situation is with the Ultraman Tiga that the You Know Who mentioned."
Although the costumes of the monsters and Ultraman in the work still look very much like real people by today's standards, it wouldn't be so funny if these monsters actually appeared in their world in the future.
At this point, it's natural to send out Shinomiya Kaguya, the designated money-generating user within the group.
Although she has been busy these past few days dealing with keeping quiet and distributing various benefits, Shinomiya Kaguya still takes some time each day to communicate with the girls in the group about the situation.
It is different from the world of the You Know Who, which means that this world must have changed for some reason.
