Fujinomiya Konomi

Since the You Know Who did not directly deny the existence of Ultraman, he only mentioned that it might not be the right time yet, and even mentioned things like "becoming light".

In other words, as long as Ultraman exists in this world, it is possible for ordinary people to obtain Ultraman's power through some means?

Without needing reminders from the group members, Shinomiya Kaguya had already begun preparing to investigate Tsuburaya Productions back then, to see if she could find more information about Ultraman or even Aliens.

She also asked Yotsuya Miko, who had already come clean with her family and was now studying at the Jujutsu High, to ask Yotsuya Miko Satoru Gojo when he had time to see if he knew any information related to Aliens.

She's even starting to wonder if her commission was actually intercepted by some well-hidden Aliens.

In short, because of a few random words written by Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage in her diary, these girls began to search for the Ultraman series, which had been dormant in the world for decades, and embarked on their long journey of catching up on the series.

As the culprit behind all this, Miyauchi Hiyage felt absolutely nothing.

It's good to watch more Ultraman; at least the depiction of Aliens in Ultraman is quite good.

Many later anime works related to Aliens have drawn inspiration from Ultraman's characters to some extent.

Just like the Dandadan comic book he recently acquired, the Aliens invasion episode clearly shows the flavor of paying homage to various tokusatsu works.

It also mentions that "the reason why Aliens did not launch a full-scale invasion of Earth is because Earth's monsters prevented those Aliens from acting."

Of course, in this more chaotic world, those extraordinary individuals in the Reverse Side World would probably still have some basic understanding of the existence of Aliens.

He wrote this in his diary because he wanted Yotsuya Miko and Shinomiya Kaguya to go to the Reverse Side World and ask the easy-going Satoru Gojo for him.

Let's see if they can get anything useful out of Satoru Gojo. Then he can use that information to deduce which works those Aliens came from.

In a sense, Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko are now the best intelligence officers for Miyauchi Hiyage. A large part of the information about the Reverse Side World Miyauchi Hiyage currently possesses was obtained through their investigations.

Meanwhile, Miyauchi Hiyage only needed to write down some of his guesses in his Diary and then quietly wait for news from Shiina Mashiro.

"Thinking about it this way, isn't what I did a bit unfair?"

Miyauchi Hiyage muttered this to himself.

Speaking of which, he already had Jerry find a way to deliver the entire Lady Kaguya and the complete set of manga by Shinomiya Kaguya (the abridged version specially provided by Miyauchi Hiyage) to Shinomiya Kaguya during this Golden Week holiday, instead of copying and pasting all the manga into her Diary for public execution. That should be quite considerate, right?

Jerry should be able to complete the task assigned to him properly, right?

Jerry, who was happily reading these comics in his little apartment, said that he was absolutely reliable.

My boss just wants it to help him with something. Although it wasn't explicitly stated, since it's already entrusted with this kind of task, what more needs to be said?

Now it selects a few trustworthy families from among these comics and sends them out in batches.

Shinomiya Kaguya, you are the main character of the manga and also the holder of the Diary. You should receive the largest copy to learn about the You Know Who's arrangements.

Hayasaka Ai, you and Shinomiya Kaguya grew up together, but due to family reasons you had to serve two masters separately, so you deserve a share.

Fujiwara Chika, you were Shinomiya Kaguya's best friend, but you were the last person in the story to learn about her love affair. You deserve a share too.

Shijo Maki, as a distant granddaughter of Shinomiya Kaguya Kaguya a member of a collateral branch of the Shinomiya Family, is an indispensable character in this manga.

Hoshino Ai, this junior, deserves several books so that the younger generation can admire the style of their senior.

And then there's Shirogane Miyuki. You were originally the male protagonist, but now you're just an insignificant passerby. I'll give you a copy... never mind. If I give it to this guy, he'll be thinking about Shinomiya Kaguya all day at school. How will he have any focus on improving his skills?

Then I'll send him a few sets of past exam papers to help this male protagonist, who hasn't even appeared yet but has already left the stage, become the top high school student in the country ahead of time, okay?

Jerry thus skillfully divided the Lady Kaguya manga into several batches.

As for handling the pusher, Jerry made a decision very quickly.

Anyway, the manga is set more than ten years in the future, and judging from Hoshino Ai's seemingly indifferent attitude towards her own stories, giving it to someone else wouldn't make any difference.

Or we should just pack up and send one to each of the girls living in Tokyo who have Diary, so everyone can have a turn.

After reading the manga by Tsubasa, he originally wanted to give the first and last volumes to Amemiya Gorou, who had died twice because of his Idol, so that he would realize the importance of rational idol worship and stop being so stubborn in this life.

But after looking at the distance and calculating the time, I realized...

The hospital is located in a small corner of Miyazaki Prefecture. It takes a whole day for a mouse to travel there and back.

This would prevent them from completing the task that Miyauchi Hiyage entrusted to him to stay in Tokyo.

Well, given Hoshino Ai's current mental state, unless she discovers her family's identity one day and then forces herself on them, there's no way she'll have any further interaction with Amemiya Gorou.

With a sigh, Jerry realized that this was all he could do under the current circumstances.

I'm truly sorry I couldn't complete the task assigned to me by the prisoner perfectly.

After waking up peacefully in his old bed where he had slept for many years, Miyauchi Hiyage was unaware that Jerry had completely misunderstood the task he had given him.

He plans to grab a quick bite and then take Itou Kaiji to the filming location in Asahigaoka to check out the situation there.

Not only those lowbrow videos that serve as a foundation, but also Asahigaoka's biggest move in the past year, namely the filming of the movie "Warrior Questing in the Demon Castle".

Miyauchi Hiyage entrusted these matters to Koshigaya Suguru and Kaede Kagayama. He only occasionally looked at the finished films during the past month, and there were basically no major problems.

This also means that after shooting so many lowbrow videos over the years, Asahigaoka has not only cultivated a group of internet celebrities, but also has a wealth of shooting experience and a complete and mature operation system.

Near the film set, Miyauchi Hiyage also had a long-awaited meeting with Kaede Kagayama, whom he hadn't seen for a month.

The female boss, whom he had personally promoted, did not appear as dashing and capable as she was portrayed to the public; instead, she looked rather simply and casually dressed.

It's obvious that she woke up, didn't dress up much, just washed up and came to the film set.

Seeing the stubborn ahoge sticking up on the other person's head, Miyauchi Hiyage familiarly leaned over and reached out to press it down.

This is one of the more obvious differences between anime characters and ordinary people.

When ordinary people occasionally don't comb their hair properly, a few strands might stick up and make them look messy. But for characters with ahoge (cowlicks), as long as they don't specifically comb or target these ahoge, they will stand up on their heads like a trademark.

It's like having two stubborn little tufts of hair on your own sister's head that are hard to put down.

Miyauchi Hiyage was confirmed to have been present when Renge was a child.

Even if you wash and comb these hairs properly to flatten them, they will naturally stick up again after you sleep.

In short, over time, these ahoge (cowlicks) became something that Miyauchi Hiyage liked to play with.

After going to Tokyo, I haven't encountered anyone with a cowlick around me. If I had to say, Conan's cowlick could be considered a cowlick on the back of his head.

However, the feel of the ahoge (cowlick) that I've been familiar with since childhood is still better.

Feeling that familiar touch, Kaede Kagayama turned around and complained to Miyauchi Hiyage, "How many times have I told you not to touch other girls' heads? How come you still haven't gotten rid of this habit in high school?"

Miyauchi Hiyage then pinched the ahoge (cowlick) again before putting her hand down.

"I haven't touched it for a month, I just came back to get used to the feel of it," Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage, who is good friends with Kaede Kagayama, having grown up together since childhood.

"Haven't touched it for a month?" Kaede Kagayama glanced at Miyauchi Hiyage. "But I heard from Guanghua that you seemed to have had quite an exciting month in Tokyo?"

"Not only did he start filming new types of videos in Tokyo, but he also became an assistant to a famous painter who returned from abroad?"

Even though they hadn't seen each other for a month, they still knew each other quite well.

Miyauchi Hiyage waved his hand dismissively. "That's all there is to it. Just do your best. If you also want to draw manga, I can give you a manga specifically to promote our Asahigaoka."

"Then forget it. Managing all this filming stuff is already troublesome enough. You can handle it yourself when you come back later," Kaede Kagayama waved his hand, indicating that he had no interest in drawing manga.

Kaede Kagayama didn't say anything more about the topic of women.

Seeing the current indifferent state of the Miyauchi Hiyage, Kaede Kagayama understood what was going on.

Moreover, having known Miyauchi Hiyage for so many years, she knew that this guy wasn't so easily lured away by other women.

So after a brief chat about their recent situations, the two of them naturally started talking about filming.

This left Itou Kaiji was standing to the side, speechless once again.

He had investigated Asahigaoka Media and knew that it had a beautiful female Asahigaoka Media.

He had previously asked Miyauchi Hiyage what his relationship with the other person was, and Miyauchi Hiyage told him they were good buddies, which he found hard to believe.

But now he believes it.

Although Kaede Kagayama hasn't dressed up much lately, it's still easy to tell that the other person is that female boss.

So, my boss really is a good friend of the boss of Asahigaoka Media. He can touch the female boss's head whenever he wants, and she doesn't seem to care at all.

My boss is definitely the best.

Not only is he able to make money and buy a luxury house in Tokyo, but his charm with women is also unparalleled.

He has a beautiful sister at home, and equally handsome brothers in the village.

After moving to Tokyo, things got even more outrageous; within days, she was dating another pair of beautiful sisters.

Then, as I heard from the boss's parents last night, a girl whom their boss saved years ago will be coming over in the next couple of days to thank him.

Although they had never met, Itou Kaiji instinctively felt that the girl must be quite pretty.

Thinking of this, Itou Kaiji could no longer feel any envy or jealousy.

Because the difference is too great.

His boss is only a high school freshman this year.

I wonder how many girls he'll attract when he's in his senior year of high school.

While Itou Kaiji was lost in thought, Miyauchi Hiyage briefly explained Itou Kaiji's situation to Kaede Kagayama.

Chapter 160: Fujimiya Miki

After chatting with Kaede Kagayama for a while, Miyauchi Hiyage introduced Itou Kaiji, who seemed particularly reserved, to Kaede Kagayama.

"I know this guy. His acting seems pretty good. You always have a good eye for actors." Kaede Kagayama nodded to Itou Kaiji, indicating that this guy was worth the contract Miyauchi Hiyage offered him.

Miyauchi Hiyage thought to himself, "This guy Itou Kaiji doesn't have any acting skills anymore; it's all just his real reactions."

Before being driven to the brink, Itou Kaiji was a complete nobody from the bottom of society, and he was also particularly timid.

However, there's no need to say such things to Kaede Kagayama.

While discussing the videos that Miyauchi Hiyage had recently filmed, Kaede Kagayama cautiously reminded Miyauchi Hiyage, "But when filming that kind of subject matter, you should be a little more careful. I don't want anything to happen to you if you encounter any ghosts one day."

Seeing Kaede Kagayama's sudden serious expression, Miyauchi Hiyage also withdrew his smile.

Kaede Kagayama no longer believed in those things. Now, she suddenly reminded herself that she must have heard something or come into contact with something.

"Have there been any ghost stories circulating in Asahigaoka lately?"

Kaede Kagayama waved her hand. "No, nothing like that. There's nothing messy going on in Asahigaoka. At most, I heard that wild animals have appeared in the deep mountains, so they told us not to go into the mountains for a while. I heard the rest from Monomi."

Fujimiya Miki lives near the Koshigaya Family's residence.

The Fujinomiya family is considered a prominent family in Asahigaoka, and since Fujimiya Miki also graduated from the Asahigaoka Branch School, she can be considered a childhood friend who is two years older than Miyauchi Hiyage.

Although she went to high school in the prefecture a year after Miyauchi Hiyage started making lowbrow videos, she still often came to help Miyauchi Hiyage.

In Miyauchi Hiyage's mind, Fujimiya Miki's abilities were comparable to Koshigaya Suguru's.

Although he wasn't as skilled in action Koshigaya Suguru, he was gentle and outgoing, with a touch of cunning. When Miyauchi Hiyage first started filming his cheesy videos, the filming team naturally had many conflicts, which were mostly resolved by Fujimiya Miki's communication skills.

In addition, Fujimiya Miki also quickly mastered things like personnel scheduling and budget control.

It's fair to say that if Fujimiya Miki hadn't been too young and hadn't had this idea, she might now be the mascot of Asahigaoka, just like Kaede Kagayama.

Therefore, upon hearing that there might be a problem with Fujimiya Miki, Miyauchi Hiyage frowned and pressed for details.

Fortunately, it's probably not something that happened to Fujimiya Miki herself, but rather some strange ghost stories have been happening at her high school and some nearby middle schools Monomi.

At this moment, Itou Kaiji, who was standing to the side, also found a chance to interject.

"Before I came to Saitama, I did some research on the strange tales and rumors about Saitama online, and it seems there are quite a few recently."

"One story is that a large wild animal has recently appeared in the mountains of Saitama Prefecture, and some people have heard its howls. Then there are legends of 'disappearances' and 'cursed stones' appearing in some middle schools. And then there's this... the 'suicide hotspot' Eighty-Eight Bridges in Saitama Prefecture. I've heard that many people choose to commit suicide there, and even those who have been there sometimes feel very unwell..."

"I was thinking of filming a video in those places, but those rumors probably aren't true, right?" As he said this, Itou Kaiji couldn't help but shudder.

He continued speaking.

The story goes that after school, several students saw a girl they had never seen before wearing their school uniform from afar in the school. The students wanted to go over and talk to the girl, but as soon as they got close to her, they found that she had suddenly disappeared.

The cursed stone is said to be a strange stone that can curse anyone who writes their name on it. The curse can range from a mild cold and fever to a serious injury requiring hospitalization, and there are even rumors that in the most severe cases it can kill someone.

Hearing Itou Kaiji's words, Miyauchi Hiyage's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

The first two are alright; they're wild beasts. At worst, they're just monsters that have broken free of their seals. It's unlikely that any great monsters will appear in Saitama Prefecture.

As for urban legends about schools, almost every school has its own legends, of which more than 99% are fabricated.
