After all, Miyauchi Hikage had mentioned this matter to Miyauchi Hikari before school started.
Since everyone in his family had mastered ripple breathing with his assistance, it was impossible for him to keep only Hikari in the dark.
It was just that Miyauchi Hikari had completely treated it as a prank at the time.
And back then, to prevent her from possibly exposing it after arriving in Tokyo, he had not said the full name of the ripple breathing method throughout the entire process, only telling her that it was a training method that could improve her physique by practicing for an hour every day.
And with Miyauchi Hikage's explanation, Miyauchi Hikari naturally also remembered that little episode before school started.
So, the things my little brother told me before school started were true?
She remembered that her little brother, in order to make her believe, had even brought out Renge and sister Kazuho as witnesses, but she had still stubbornly believed that this was his last prank on her before high school.
So she hadn't listened to Miyauchi Hikage carefully at all and had just rejected it directly.
So, did my little brother really discover something incredible in that old family warehouse?
Miyauchi Hikari felt as if she had lost a few hundred million.
But she quickly pulled herself together again.
It's fine, this is my little brother. As long as I ask him again, he will definitely teach me that mysterious training method again!
And on Katō Megumi's side, although she felt this explanation was a bit of a stretch, she didn't have too many thoughts.
She couldn't feel it as clearly as Shiina Mashiro, only vaguely sensing a trace of an aura. Therefore, she just thought that he had been constantly exercising, and plus his mental state was indeed very good, which was why he had been taken a fancy to by those sports clubs.
Shiina Mahiru also nodded as if she understood.
"I see. Exercise indeed changes the feeling a person gives off. You'd better keep this habit up, Hikage-san."
Only Shiina Mashiro continued to stare fixedly at Miyauchi Hikage.
And then, from her mouth, the words "ripple breathing" suddenly came out.
Is this natural airhead's perceptive ability really that strong?
He had already adjusted his breathing state. At the very least, it was completely different from the Hamon that these girls had mastered, but Shiina Mashiro could still sense it?
But after all, he was a veteran actor. He wouldn't get stage fright in this kind of sudden situation.
At that moment, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, as if he hadn't understood at all what she was saying.
"What did you just say?"
But in the next moment, Shiina Mashiro asked another fatal question.
"Are you the Tom from the diary?"
"Tom? Little brother, what's this situation now?" This particularly ordinary-sounding name made Miyauchi Hikari on the side show a puzzled expression.
Has my little brother ever used this English name?
Could it be that he used the name Tom online back then to pick up other girls?
And after hearing Miyauchi Hikari's inquiry, Miyauchi Hikage let out a sigh of relief. Although the words "diary" should have been blocked, the name "Tom" had not triggered the diary's confidentiality mechanism and was content that others could hear.
After giving his second sister a thumbs-up in his heart, he also frowned, as if he had never heard this name before.
"This name, is it the name of a friend you know? I'm sorry, I grew up in the Japanese countryside since I was little, and I haven't even met many foreigners. I really don't know a person named Tom."
It was just that Shiina Mashiro just continued to stare at Miyauchi Hikage, as if she had already connected this boy in front of her with the mysterious person who wrote the diary in her heart.
And, Hikari said, she has a little sister who just started school!
Although it was just this little connection, Shiina Mashiro, who had always had a simple way of thinking, had thus locked her sights on Miyauchi Hikage.
But as for certainty?
Shiina Mashiro didn't even have half a chance.
She just simply believed in her own feelings.
That sun-like aura on him couldn't be faked!
Even if he wasn't the mysterious person, he definitely had other secrets!
Sensing Shiina Mashiro's persistent gaze, Miyauchi Hikage couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.
It seemed that compared to those shrewd girls, this Shiina Mashiro in front of him, who didn't need any evidence at all and only believed in her own intuition, was a greater threat to him.
Once she sets her sights on a target, she will absolutely not give up.
One could only say that the only good news was that this young girl had not joined the diary chat group formed by those girls, nor would she tell these things to others.
Miyauchi Hikage turned his head to look at Shiina Mahiru, who was also a little unsure of the current situation. "Um, Shiina Mahiru-san, could it be that this cousin of yours has mistaken me for some friend she knew when she was studying abroad?"
Shiina Mahiru had also only just learned about Shiina Mashiro's situation these past few days, but she also didn't understand much about her situation when she was studying abroad in London.
She could only walk to her cousin's side and ask her in a low voice.
After her cousin's inquiry, a clear look of confusion flashed in Shiina Mashiro's eyes.
She subconsciously took out her own diary. She knew that when she didn't know what to say, this diary would help her solve her troubles.
This was also the first time that Miyauchi Hikage had seen a girl take out a diary up close with his own eyes.
It was also a black diary, but in terms of size, it was obviously not as large as his. It should have been specially adapted to better fit the user's hand size.
However, Miyauchi Hikage didn't dare to look too much either, and also put on an expression of not being able to see anything, just like the others.
Seeing that everyone on the scene, just like in London, had ignored the diary she had taken out, Shiina Mashiro even specially placed the diary in front of Miyauchi Hikage and waved it vigorously. "Can you see it?"
She even intended to directly hand her diary to him.
Miyauchi Hikage could be said to have pushed his disguise acting skills to the extreme, showing the reaction that a normal person should have.
On the other hand, Shiina Mahiru was a little embarrassed and hurriedly pulled her cousin.
To be reaching out and waving her hands non-stop in front of a boy she had just met was too unladylike. If the elders at home knew about this, they would probably say that she hadn't taken good care of her cousin.
It wasn't until after all this was done and Shiina Mashiro found that the boy in front of her had no reaction at all that a look of disappointment finally appeared in her eyes.
Could it be that he really isn't the mysterious person?
Only now did Miyauchi Hikage let out a sigh of relief, feeling that it should be over here.
And then, in the next moment, he was stunned to find that the young girl in front of him had actually started to directly use the power of ripple breathing on the street!
Seeing golden electric arcs beginning to emerge from her hands, Miyauchi Hikage hurriedly cursed in his heart that this foolish woman was really not afraid of being discovered and taken away for dissection research!
In his urgency, Miyauchi Hikage directly reached out and pressed down on the hand that Shiina Mashiro was using to channel Hamon, telling her not to continue.
In the next moment, he saw that Shiina Mashiro's eyes had also begun to sparkle with light.
"You saw it!"
She grabbed Miyauchi Hikage's hand in return, completely unwilling to let go.
