Real teaching, but diary flow

Cursed spirit.

Upon hearing this and seeing the description in the diary, they almost immediately understood the existence of the cursed spirit.

Damn it, isn't that a ghost?

Is there a ghost lurking around me at any moment now?

I feel disgusted, scared, in danger, and uneasy.

Uneasy, really very uneasy.

Can someone please help me? I want so much power, I want so much peace of mind.

Fear.

Especially since they can't see it.

It cannot be seen, but it truly exists there; it cannot be seen, but some traces of its existence can be found through investigation.

The more this was the case, the more Kaguya Shinomiya hoped that the god of the new world who had opened the curtain on a new era, with whom she had made a promise, would come to find her as promised and reach out to her.

She thought she would definitely fall for him.

Even if it's not a romantic relationship.

But that guy didn't! He didn't! He didn't!

Kaguya Shinomiya wanted to breathe on her skin.

The other new diary owners didn't know his identity as Toru Asakusa, but she did!

Since the other party isn't taking the initiative to contact her, let her take the initiative to contact the other party!

No matter how the world changes, it is still a modern society; no matter how the world changes, the Shinomiya Zaibatsu is still one of the largest conglomerates; no matter how the world changes, Kaguya Shinomiya is still the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family.

Therefore, given that she could quickly and easily locate a person through information, as long as Asakusa Tetsu didn't choose to hide, she could easily find the other party by relying on her power.

Judging from Asakusa Tetsu's previous habits, he had no intention of hiding anything at all.

Although he hasn't revealed his identity yet, Kaguya Shinomiya knows very well that he will definitely turn around and show up in front of the copy holder while he's writing in his diary, giving them a huge surprise.

So, let's just go up and shoot him.

Anyway, I've always wanted to meet him formally.

Since he doesn't come to me on his own initiative, I should take the initiative to go up to him and demand an explanation.

That's why, when she was throwing a tantrum to vent her frustrations, she called on Hayasaka to take action.

just.

Hayasaka Ai's words shut her up again.

That's right, they have no initiative.

Agreements are agreements, but morality and agreements are always just for self-restraint.

Even if we do find them, what then? What should we do if we actually find them?

Are you threatening him by making his name and information public?

Haha.

That's truly the act of someone who's had enough of life and is planning to hang themselves.

Don't be fooled by the sticky, student-like tone and restrained tone of his previous diaries. Although he did hurl a lot of insults and recklessly revealed a lot of his dark history, he actually meant a lot of good intentions. He was just playing around, teasing, torturing, and mocking.

But they will provide the exact information that the students at that school need.

Beyond these contents, he would also record his feelings and write down what he wanted to say to the people he liked, just like writing a diary.

It's so... nauseating to look at.

Yes, it's bound to get boring. Watching others openly or subtly express their love, watching others write about their seemingly sweet romance in their diaries.

For Kaguya Shinomiya, a pure girl who has never experienced love and can only see love stories in various works of fiction.

It's incredibly cloying.

It's so cloying that it occasionally makes you want to fall in love.

...But never mind.

None of the others were suitable, and the only suitable guy was a complete scoundrel.

If we only look at her previous diaries, Kaguya Shinomiya would probably have gone directly to Tetsu Asakusa to express her dissatisfaction and vent her emotions, naturally conducting a fair trial with someone she could reason with.

Because he would be the one who could do that.

but.

If we look at the current diary after the new version...

It's nothing really.

Well, it's really nothing. It's just a slightly different kind of exposure than the so-called continued exposure and revelation of the girls' dark history. Instead, it's a direct display of pure malice.

To attack or conquer.

At first, he was humiliating that so-called strongest sorcerer, but perhaps to prove that he wasn't just a talker, in his later diary entries, when he shifted his target from the sorcerer who had been humiliated for a day or two to a spirit that seemed to be in a competitive and opposing worldview, things changed.

He complained, he expressed his emotions, he said it was disgusting, he said it would be better to kill him.

So on the second day.

The diary began to broadcast the "torture" of what appeared to be a "real person" spirit, accompanied by extremely detailed photographs.

...To put it bluntly, it gave Kaguya Shinomiya quite a fright.

That completely woke her up.

Yes, that's right. Cursed spirits are not people. Cursed spirits are curses. They are curses that arise from people's negative emotions.

So what if they killed him?

If he simply said 'kill'.

Kaguya Shinomiya might not have reacted that strongly yet.

But... he brought along a photograph, one wrapped in bandages, human-shaped, and even capable of speaking human language.

Cursed spirit.

These cursed spirits, documented in photographs, were repeatedly severed from their bodies, smashed into puddles of mud, and then...

death.

The process is clearly demonstrated, and the violence is fully perceptible.

Kaguya Shinomiya immediately realized that he wasn't the kind of cheerful, easy-going person he seemed to be on the surface.

They are actually capable of taking action, and they dare to kill people.

Combined with the already highly emotional words in her usual diary entries.

Although... what if, what if he suddenly becomes emotional?

This is the result of understanding the other party, but not understanding them at all.

The words in their diaries brought them closer, and a phone call, though they never met in person, forged a small connection between them.

Therefore, they assumed they understood the other person very well, and thus thought they knew them intimately...

To place the greatest trust on someone without authorization.

However, in the subsequent changes, I felt things that contradicted my understanding, and suddenly a strong sense of betrayal and distrust arose.

That's why Kaguya Shinomiya stopped there.

She hasn't actually adapted to the changed world that quickly; she's still somewhat stuck in the original era.

Ultimately, the fact that she remained an IT novice at a time when she should have fully adapted to modern life, using an old-fashioned keypad phone instead of a smartphone, is enough to prove that even in the past, she still had a certain degree of backwardness and old-fashionedness.

The advantage is that they can be trusted, and once a decision is made, it will not be easily changed.

The downside is that it's not so easy to adapt; in short, it's a superplus version of Horikita Suzune.

Yes, it surpasses it in every way, whether in learning ability or from various other perspectives.

Of course, it's not a perfect match, but in this respect, she can indeed be considered a superplus version. Even without comparing her to Horikita Suzune, she can still achieve the same result.

"...But Hayasaka, I'm so scared."

At Hayasaka Ai's words, Kaguya Shinomiya finally stopped rolling around, spread her body out, and lay helplessly on the bed in a starfish position.

"What if a cursed spirit suddenly appears before me? What if a magician suddenly tries to control me to do something? What if I suddenly make eye contact with some criminal with supernatural powers on the street...?"

"Am I going to die?"

This is a question that naturally arises after the emotions have subsided.

Extraordinary is very good.

It can achieve miracles, change outcomes that mortals could never change, and combine individual power to fulfill all of people's fantasies.

But the same applies.

Humans below the level of the extraordinary still seem... far too fragile.

Humans are creatures that can die easily.

In the past, everyone tacitly accepted this convention, everyone maintained mutual respect, and no one had the ability to cross the line.

At least for Kaguya Shinomiya, there weren't many people who could easily threaten her.

Whether from the perspective of power or personal strength.

In this country where guns are prohibited, she considered herself relatively safe.

Until now.

"No, Kaguya-sama."

Although Kaguya Shinomiya seemed to have entered her late-night depression phase on NetEase Cloud Music, Ai Hayasaka remained calm.

"You don't have the value to be someone else's target too easily."

She simply stated the cold, hard truth in a very calm manner.

"Even if they wanted to blackmail and control the Shinomiya family, they wouldn't choose a young lady like you who has no real power."

Capturing Kaguya Shinomiya would only bring a disturbance and a certain amount of money. People who can break through the protection of ordinary armed forces to do such a thing are not so lowly.

Kaguya Shinomiya: "..."

...Although it is very clear that what Hayasaka Ai said is true.

But as expected, I was still a little sad.

“…I said.” She turned her head, tilting it and looking at Hayasaka Ai with a sidelong glance: “Hayasaka, lately, have you been disrespecting me more and more?”

She definitely wouldn't have said that before!

Hayasaka Ai turned her head away: "It's your imagination, young lady."

This smell is really... unsettling.

"All I want to say is, don't worry too much."

Perhaps in an attempt to conceal her obvious guilt, and making matters worse, Hayasaka Ai added:

"The so-called cursed spirits just sound disgusting. At least you, Kaguya, have no chance of being cursed... Oh no, there is still a possibility. The curses started by poor people with a resentment towards the rich might come to you on their own."

"Well, thinking about it that way, you might indeed be in more danger than a normal person, especially since we're in a place like Tokyo."

“Very good, Miss, you’ve convinced me. Let’s ignore his thoughts and go directly to confront him.”

As she spoke, Hayasaka Ai turned around without hesitation, seemingly about to take action.

But once she started moving, Kaguya Shinomiya couldn't stay still any longer.

She scrambled to her feet, her soft, white feet, bare of socks, pattering off the soft bed. She reached out to stop Hayasaka Ai:

"--Don't!"

Even though she was the one who gave orders and urged them on before, when it came to Hayasaka Ai actually taking action, she became the one in opposition.

"Well, I think we can wait a little longer... with some patience."
