The girls in the Chat Group were quite enthusiastic about gossiping about whether Miyauchi Hiyage was helping Shiina Mashiro out of gratitude for his ancestors.

Some people think that since Miyauchi Hiyage is a positive male supporting character in a certain light yuri work, even if his personality is not as stubborn as those of the hot-blooded shonen boys, his personality must be more positive.

So after discovering that Shiina Mashiro might be the successor of the Breathing Technique and realizing that Shiina Mashiro wanted to become a manga artist, he directly offered to help Shiina Mashiro create manga.

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought this, she couldn't help but wonder if she could get Miyauchi Hiyage to come over and help her if she also showed herself to Miyauchi Hiyage as the inheritor of the "Breathing Technique".

After all, she had seen firsthand how the Miyauchi siblings treated Shiina Mashiro; they truly regarded Shiina Mashiro as a precious treasure.

But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head sharply, indicating that she was not that kind of person and could not do such a dishonorable thing just to gain Reading Points.

Let's just keep things as they are.

Of course, if Miyauchi Hiyage herself realized it, then she could simply accept this identity.

In addition, there are also girls with more realistic ideas.

While Shinomiya Kaguya was discussing this, she took the initiative to ask Shiina Mashiro whether she had triggered the Diary's warning and whether she had taught the Miyauchi siblings the Ripple Chi Kung breathing technique.

She further inquired whether Miyauchi Hiyage had asked Shiina Mashiro anything about Breathing Technique after learning about the existence of Ripple Breathing.

In response, Shiina Mashiro answered each question in the group chat, satisfying the girls' curiosity.

The Diary has never triggered any warnings.

They are currently being taught Ripple at home. Among them, Miyauchi Hiyage is indeed the fastest learner, having already developed Ripple within his body, and he often comes up with new ideas to try.

As for whether Miyauchi Hiyage had inquired about the origins of these Breathing Techniques, Shiina Mashiro stated that Miyauchi Hiyage had asked her where she learned these Breathing Techniques, and her answer was that she learned them from others while studying abroad.

"He also asked me about the identity of the person who taught me this Breathing Technique. I said I didn't know. Then, I asked him if that person had any characteristics, if there was a photo or a portrait of him. I told him that I had never seen what the person looked like and I didn't even know his voice."

"In the end, Riying asked me what language the other person used to teach me these Breathing Techniques. I told Riying that it was Japanese, and he didn't ask me any more questions."

After a pause, Shiina Mashiro "honestly" added, "Also, after he sent me that photo the day before yesterday, he asked me if I remembered the record on it, and also asked if there were any similar records at home, and I answered that I didn't know."

After listening to Shiina Mashiro's explanation, Shinomiya Kaguya made a judgment in her mind.

Regardless of Miyauchi Hiyage's initial attitude towards Shiina Mashiro, it at least proves that the siblings' character is definitely up to standard.

After all, Shiina Mashiro did not receive a warning from the Diary before she revealed the Ripple, which means that even if the Miyauchi siblings knew about the Ripple, they would not do anything that would put Shiina Mashiro in danger.

Shinomiya Kaguya tested this.

She tried telling a few people close to her about the Ripple, Hayasaka Ai was safe, and Fujiwara Chika was safe too.

However, when it comes to other people, there will be some risks involved.

Previously, whenever she had the thought of being honest with her "good brothers," her Diary would send her a warning, indicating that it might pose a threat to her life.

Even her father gave her a slight warning when she confronted him, advising her to be careful with her words when mentioning the people she had investigated and contacted during the "confrontation," otherwise it might pose a certain danger to the other Diary holders.

In conclusion, the absence of a warning means that Miyauchi Hiyage can be trusted.

But what truly convinced Miyauchi Hiyage to help Shiina Mashiro was probably not some favor.

After all, the kindness shown a hundred years ago is something that even a tenth of it remains, which shows that Miyauchi Hiyage is a person of honor.

Furthermore, Shiina Mashiro always seems so innocent, she probably even stutters when she lies, and she answered Miyauchi Hiyage's questions by saying she didn't know.

From Miyauchi Hiyage's perspective, it's pretty much that Shiina Mashiro was "lucky" enough to gain the favor of a mysterious Breathing Technique master, who secretly taught Shiina Mashiro the Breathing Technique.

If we think about it more deeply, it means that Shiina Mashiro's ancestors might have had some connection with the Demon Slayer Corps, which is why she was able to receive their guidance.

Regardless of the circumstances, it has little to do with any favors owed to the Miyauchi Family's ancestors.

Ultimately, as a 16-year-old high school student, Miyauchi Hiyage is at the age where she is most curious about these unknown things.

Shiina Mashiro revealed the existence of Ripple Chi Kung in front of Miyauchi Kouka, which reminded Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage, who learned about this through her sister, of the rumors recorded in her family records. She then connected these rumors with Shiina Mashiro and realized that what her ancestors had written was probably not a story, but the truth of the past.

So, after coming into contact with a completely new world, Miyauchi Hiyage helped Shiina Mashiro in exchange for learning the Ripple Chi Kung Shiina Mashiro technique from her.

Later, he even formed his own team to film videos at crime scenes and haunted locations, trying to find so-called "ghosts" to test whether the "Breathing Technique" he had learned could be used, or to make contact with more people with supernatural powers in this way.

"So, if I use gratitude along with some benefits that can move him, I should be able to get Miyauchi Hiyage's abilities to work for me?" Shinomiya Kaguya thought to herself.

Shiina Mashiro's Ripple intensity is the strongest among the first batch of girls to obtain it. This can be seen by comparing the color depth and size of each person's appearance on the map after the map function is unlocked in the Diary.

Shiina Mashiro's dot on the map is clearly two sizes larger than Kasumigaoka Utaha's, and in terms of Ripple, Kasumigaoka Utaha is unsurprisingly completely outclassed by Shiina Mashiro.

At first, everyone thought that Shiina Mashiro was exceptionally talented and simple-minded, so she mastered the Ripple the fastest and even started to study her own unique breathing rhythm.

Shiina Mashiro had previously shared in the group that she had made some adjustments to her breathing rhythm to better suit herself.

However, this is a self-adjusted rhythm, and it may not suit everyone.

The other girls wanted to learn the adjustment method from Shiina Mashiro, but Shiina Mashiro herself was "not good at expressing herself" and could not explain the process clearly, which made all the girls, including Kasumigaoka Utaha who went to school with Shiina Mashiro every day, feel a little disappointed.

Although they have been researching on their own, even Yukino Yukinoshita, who is also very talented in Ripple training, has only barely grasped the basics. She is still a long way from perfecting her breathing rhythm.

However, Shiina Mashiro herself mentioned that after she met with Miyauchi Hiyage at the church, she often discussed and speculated on various ways to use the Ripple and tried to deduce different breathing rhythms.

Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly realized that besides Shiina Mashiro's own talent, Miyauchi Hiyage also played an important role.

The Diary served as a safety net, and Miyauchi Hiyage's calculation and imagination were the main reasons why Shiina Mashiro was able to find a breathing method that suited her better in a short period of time.

While Shiina Mashiro couldn't explain the process of adjusting her breathing rhythm, Miyauchi Hiyage certainly knew!

If it weren't for the fact that the other party is currently on vacation and has gone back to their hometown, and that Shinomiya Kaguya can't easily leave Tokyo right now, she would be tempted to sneak over to Miyauchi Hiyage and bribe him to work for her.

"But there's no rush...we can wait and see," Shinomiya Kaguya. Although she had already taken a liking to Miyauchi Hiyage's abilities, there was no need to rush right now.

She first needed to find out about the Breathing Technique from Yamamoto Yushiro, and then approach Miyauchi Hiyage as a true successor of the "Breathing Technique".

At that time, we will give Miyauchi Hiyage another opportunity to truly experience the Reverse Side World.

I believe Miyauchi Hiyage will agree to her request.

After thinking about the matter of Shinomiya Kaguya Miyauchi Hiyage, Shinomiya Kaguya stopped paying attention to the Chat Group after seeing that Shiho Miyano had not yet replied.

She is in a hurry and needs to clear her name during this Golden Week holiday. She also needs to contact the tough guys at the Shuchiin Academy one by one and get them to help her remove the current student council president so that she can become the interim president of the Shuchiin Academy.

More importantly, she also needed to find out about her sister Shiho Miyano, whose life was in danger at any moment.

After all, if this matter is accomplished, she will have a brilliant scientist under her name who has earned two doctoral degrees before the age of 20 as an asset.

Especially with the aid of Diary, the other party has even greater potential in the future.

Therefore, Shiho Miyano holds a more important place in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart than Miyauchi Hiyage.

Tokyo is very large, and all Shiho Miyano provide was Miyano Akemi and a photo from three or four years ago.

Most importantly, the investigation must not be carried out in a high-profile manner; it must be conducted secretly and cautiously to avoid attracting the attention of that organization.

Although two or three days have passed, she still hasn't received any useful information.

Thinking about the hopeful private messages that Shiho Miyano sends her every night, she feels a little awkward facing her.

If all else fails, go back to the shrine that Miko discovered with the guidance of her Diary, and ask that truly skilled shaman for a fortune telling.

Although the other party wasn't very welcoming last time, they should still help me out of consideration for the Japanese yen.

Although he was a bit embarrassed to ask the Shinto for help as a preparatory student who hadn't officially enrolled in the Jujutsu High yet.

It's just that there aren't any sorcerers skilled in divination or finding people at the Sorcerers Jujutsu High.

With that in mind, Shinomiya Kaguya contacted Hayasaka Ai and asked her to adjust her schedule for tomorrow to resolve the safety issue of Miyano Akemi as soon as possible.

However, when Hayasaka Ai entered her bedroom, her expression looked somewhat strange.

"Hayasaka, what's wrong with you?"

Shinomiya Kaguya immediately noticed that Hayasaka Ai seemed to have a lot on her mind.

She couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Is it my good brothers from the main family putting pressure on you again?"

After obtaining some authority over the Shinomiya Family from her father, Kaguya Shinomiya, in order to better develop in the Jujutsu Society Shinomiya Kaguya, made some simple consolidation of the Shinomiya Family's power in Tokyo. Naturally, she knew that the main family had previously required Hayasaka Ai to report her information to them regularly.

Her father doesn't usually care about her daily life, so these "they" naturally refer to Shinomiya Kaguya's brothers who are vying for inheritance and property.

But Shinomiya Kaguya wasn't angry after learning this.

Because Hayasaka Ai had always kept the secret of her supernatural powers, and had not revealed this information to her less-than-open-minded brothers before she discussed it with her father, she had not received any warning from the Diary in this regard.

Before she went to talk to her father, her brothers only knew that she had recently made many new friends online and had become much more cheerful.

Now that she has her father's support, Shinomiya Kaguya no longer needs to care so much about her brothers' thoughts; their thoughts are even unlikely to trigger the Diary's warnings.

However, Hayasaka Ai seemed to become the outlet for her brothers' anger, and they even tried to use the safety of the Hayasaka family to coerce her into continuing to pass on information to them. However, Shinomiya Kaguya Hayasaka Ai them and even personally called to mock them.

Therefore, seeing Hayasaka Ai looking somewhat troubled, Shinomiya Kaguya naturally assumed it was her older brother.

However, Hayasaka Ai's dilemma lies entirely elsewhere.

She hesitated for a while before taking out the several documents that were wrapped up in her hand, under Shinomiya Kaguya's questioning.

"Actually, tonight, about an hour ago, two unusual packages appeared on my desk. They were signed with my name and yours, Lady Kaguya. When I checked them, I found that the contents were... a bit strange."

"Strange?" Shinomiya Kaguya was taken aback.

Then, as if she had thought of something, her expression changed instantly.

"Hayasaka, is the thing in that package a manga?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded with a strange expression.

Shinomiya Kaguya immediately felt a headache coming on.

Have you read the contents?

Hayasaka Ai continued to nod silently.

Well, it's the maid's responsibility to check the package, so it's normal for her to look at the contents.

However, even Hayasaka receives the compensation for the package, she probably won't be able to see much of it.

Thinking this, Shinomiya Kaguya rubbed her head.

A few days before the Golden Week holiday, that You Know Who guy said he would distribute all their works.

Several girls in the group who had been called out by the You Know Who many times were worried about how he would deliver the packages this time. He said he would send them before the Golden Week holiday, but everyone was on tenterhooks until the Golden Week holiday, and there was no response at all.

Everyone secretly assumed that the You Know Who had taken Jerry, the junior apprentice, to explore the Aliens ruins, so they forgot about the incident and breathed a sigh of relief.

They hadn't expected that they had relaxed too early. They just didn't know what methods the You Know Who used to send these comics over.

Is it Jerry?

Or was it delivered personally by You Know Who using some means?

"Anyway, Hayasaka, take out those comics you have and let me see what's going on."

Hayasaka Ai didn't ask any questions and handed all the contents of the two packages to Shinomiya Kaguya. After just a few glances, Shinomiya Kaguya showed an even more distressed expression.

In the package that Hayasaka Ai received, besides a book that should be Hoshino Ai's story, there were also 18 volumes of "Lady Kaguya: Love Is War".

18 volumes is quite a lot for a manga. If it weren't for Shinomiya Kaguya seeing one of the volumes marked "28" and not realizing that there were 10 volumes missing when arranged by number, it would be a huge problem!

"So, who did that You Know Who guy send the remaining ten volumes to?"

Chapter 167: Shinomiya Kaguya: My Future Doesn't Need a Male Lead

That night, the girls' Chat Group was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Fortunately, it's a holiday now, so everyone can stay up a little longer.

First, the diary brought up the Demon Slayer Corps and Breathing Technique again, allowing them to learn many secrets from hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

Next, Shiina Mashiro showed everyone the photo that Miyauchi Hiyage had sent him, making everyone curious about whether the supporting male character, Miyauchi Hiyage, was really that gifted.
