The diary's punishment didn't last too long.
Around the time school let out, Shinomiya Kaguya had already recovered.
She saw herself and Fujiwara Chika hugging each other, asleep on the sofa in the school's chairman's office.
Then she felt her somewhat damp shoulder, and Fujiwara Chika's equally somewhat damp chest.
Originally, her eyes were still a little puzzled, as if she still didn't know what had happened.
But after Yotsuya Miko showed her the chat history of this period, as well as the live broadcast recording that was automatically generated and saved in the diary after the live broadcast ended.
Under these stimuli, she finally remembered what she had done in the two or three hours she had lost consciousness.
If looks could kill, Shinomiya Kaguya really wanted to go and kill all the classmates who had seen her this afternoon.
Although she had already realized before that when she was punished for failing a commission, she might be turned into her Kaguya-chan state by the diary to do some shameful things.
But who could have thought it would be something so shameful!
She estimated that tonight, what had happened to her this afternoon would become a pastime topic for those upper-class elites during their idle chats.
Most likely, the main family's side would also send her an inquiry.
At a time when she had just obtained higher authority in the Shinomiya family from her father and had not yet found her footing, for this to happen, it would probably also be used by her older brothers as a means to doubt and attack her.
One could only say, it was a good thing she had already decided to leave Shuchi'in and step into the hidden world.
The gazes of these students at Shuchi'in were no longer as important to her as before.
As for those girls who had obtained the diary, although they had also witnessed her most embarrassing moment, after all, they knew the reason why she would do this. Without her needing to say anything, these girls would instead come to comfort her, which could still give her a little bit of solace.
What she was most concerned about now was, one, the mysterious person who had broadcast her appearance, and the other was that mysterious young girl who had completed that A-rank commission.
That person had snatched her commission and had investigated the truth of that shrine in just one or two days. This showed that the other person should be a supernatural being residing in Tokyo.
However, the situation of that shrine was special. Right now, she still didn't know if the girl who had snatched her commission had dealt with the matter of that shrine. It was also not convenient for her to go and investigate.
She could only wait until she went to that shrine herself to investigate the specific situation in the future.
Shinomiya Kaguya temporarily noted down this grudge.
The family motto of the Shinomiya family was to repay the kindness of others as soon as possible. Similarly, an eye for an eye was also one of their mottos.
It was just that as Yukinoshita Yukino had said in the group before, what Shinomiya Kaguya was considering now was how big a price she would have to pay to quickly complete that commission of hers.
For the first time, she felt that her decision to accept the commission so confidently at that time was a bit rash.
But now she could only bite the bullet and do it.
She didn't want to suffer such an embarrassing punishment once and then have to go through it again.
The diary had said that if the commissions accepted in a short period of time failed consecutively, the intensity of the punishment would be increased accordingly.
The first punishment was already such a social death. Shinomiya Kaguya didn't dare to imagine what she would be punished to do if she failed for a second time right away.
"What I need to do now is to seize the time to suppress the public opinion, and then create a new persona for myself in Shuchi'in, find a way to find those students who need the Shinomiya family's help, and coerce and lure them to help me obtain the identity of the student council president..."
Shinomiya Kaguya thought to herself, and then felt Fujiwara Chika, who was lying on the sofa, cuddle up to her in a half-asleep state.
Then Fujiwara Chika seemed to have noticed something was missing, and then hurriedly opened her eyes to look at Shinomiya Kaguya, who had already stood up and tidied up her appearance.
With just one glance, Fujiwara Chika could tell that this best friend of hers should have recovered at this moment.
In the next moment, her eyes became moist again. "Kaguya, are you really leaving? I don't want to be separated from you~!"
Watching this scene, Shinomiya Kaguya, who had also just regained her consciousness, felt an even greater headache.
And this particularly clingy Fujiwara Chika.
I really don't know why the diary would make me call her "Mama" in the punishment.
Shinomiya Kaguya's original plan was to tell her friend about what had happened to her after she had become the student council president of Shuchi'in.
But now that Yotsuya Miko had already told her about her transfer, she could only briefly mention her own affairs to her.
Her grandfather was a former prime minister, and an uncle in her family was also a minister. People like them would naturally know about the existence of the hidden world.
Now that she had mentioned these things to Fujiwara Chika, she could also find a way to verify them with her grandfather and uncle. As long as these things were not spread to ordinary people, it would be fine.
Under Shinomiya Kaguya's explanation, Fujiwara Chika also finally understood that her best friend was not being persecuted by the Shinomiya family and thus had to transfer schools, but on the contrary, in order to better maintain the continuation of the Shinomiya family, she needed to go to that school for Jujutsu Sorcerers to learn those supernatural powers.
After knowing these things, Fujiwara Chika's eyes no longer showed a trace of tears. On the contrary, she asked Shinomiya Kaguya with a curious face what supernatural powers her friend had awakened, and even asked if there was a way for her to obtain the same power.
It could be seen that she had not suspected at all that Shinomiya Kaguya might be deceiving her.
Shinomiya Kaguya could only, under her best friend's pleading request, reluctantly demonstrate the power of Hamon in front of her.
As for letting Fujiwara Chika also obtain the power of the ripple, Shinomiya Kaguya didn't care that much.
After all, without the enlightenment from Reading Value, an ordinary person, even if they practiced for a year or two, would have a hard time reaching her current level.
As long as Fujiwara Chika herself didn't spread it around, there was no need to worry that someone would come to investigate her situation.
Since she had already taught Hayasaka Ai, then it was no problem to teach her best friend, Fujiwara Chika, as well.
"Oh oh oh, so this is the power of the ripple! So amazing!" Looking at the trace of electric arc entwined around Shinomiya Kaguya's fingertips, Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened as she let out a cry of praise, as if she were genuinely amazed and happy for her friend for obtaining such a power.
Shinomiya Kaguya, on the other hand, explained to her, "I can teach you the breathing method for Hamon, but you might need to spend several years and still not necessarily be able to reach my current level."
Shinomiya Kaguya repeated what the mysterious person had warned them before, telling Fujiwara Chika not to have too high expectations for Hamon, and just to treat it as a special training method on a normal day.
Listening to her reminder, Fujiwara Chika's expression still became a lot more desolate.
It seemed she had realized that Shinomiya Kaguya, who had awakened this kind of power and was also very talented, was destined to leave Shuchi'in.
Shinomiya Kaguya could only, in turn, comfort her friend, saying that she would still be at Shuchi'in for half a month, at least until after she had become the student council president of Shuchi'in.
Watching this scene of sisterly affection, Yotsuya Miko also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that she could finally go home in peace.
Compared to Shinomiya Kaguya who had sorted out her sisters so quickly, she was still struggling with how she should explain these things to her mother and younger brother.
...
In any case, after experiencing this three-hour-long live broadcast, the girls who had the diary had become a little more cautious about accepting commissions.
Regarding that mysterious girl who had intercepted Shinomiya Kaguya, they had also discussed it for a few days.
However, in the next few days, their commissions had not been intercepted again.
Therefore, such discussions had gradually become less frequent, and more of the discussion in the group was about how to complete the commissions everyone had received more efficiently.
On the day the week-long Golden Week holiday arrived at the end of April.
Yukinoshita Yukino wiped her forehead.
She had, in the end, relied on the things the mysterious person had mentioned in the diary, relied on that Yuigahama Yui and that classmate Hikigaya Hachiman who had not yet been discharged from the hospital, to complete the first commission of the Service Club and had gotten 5 Reading Points.
Adding the commission to establish the Service Club, she had currently obtained 10 Reading Points from commissions.
It looked pretty good.
However, the person who had completed the most commissions on the surface and had obtained the most Reading Value was, somewhat unexpectedly, but also within reason, Bocchi.
Because Bocchi had, in the end, completed her commission to form a band.
However, this was not because she had overcome her social anxiety to complete those commissions.
But rather, seeing Bocchi-chan in the group every day, sharing the new music scores she had created, always saying that she was going to take action, but never seeming to actually do it.
And so, Hoshino Ai, who was an idol, and Tsukimi Eiko, who was determined to become a singer, in order to help this "kouhai" of theirs who was planning to form a girl band.
After the two of them had discussed it in private, they had directly and forcibly taken the guitar-carrying Bocchi to the setting of Bocchi the Rock!, that is, the Starry live house in Shimokitazawa.
And then, as a matter of course, they had run into that great angel of Shimokitazawa who had changed Bocchi's fate in the original work, Ijichi Nijika. Under Hoshino Ai's betrayal, she had directly revealed Bocchi's identity as the famous internet blogger "Guitar Hero."
In any case, the trembling Bocchi had, in the negotiation between Hoshino Ai and Ijichi Nijika, completed 4 commissions at the same time.
Forming a band with herself (Guitar Hero) as the core, forming a band for 15 dollars (low completion rate), admitting her identity as Guitar Hero to others, and completing a band performance once (low completion rate).
Although two of them had a low completion rate, Bocchi, who had obtained more than 20 Reading Points from completing these commissions, had finally held her head high, and had also received a long-term commission to "get Reading Value for every band performance she participated in."
To this, Hoshino Ai, whose long-term commission was "get Reading Value for every new avid fan," and Tsukimi Eiko, whose was "get Reading Value for cumulative likes on social media platforms," were both a little envious of Bocchi's long-term commission, which could get Reading Value just by going on stage.
After all, these grassroots idols and singers had to participate in several performances a day during their working hours. If they had this commission, they could farm a lot of Reading Points in one day.
However, considering that Bocchi was still a student, even without thinking about her social anxiety attribute, it would be pretty good if she could find the time to participate in a band performance once a week.
But everyone in the group still unanimously believed that among the girls who had obtained the diary, Bocchi was indeed the one who was most doted on by the diary and even the mysterious person.
Except for Kasumigaoka Utaha and Shiina Mashiro.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, with Miyauchi Hikage's help these past two days, had actually also completed many commissions.
For example, the scandals between her and Eriri had now been shifted to Shiina Mashiro, who had just announced her participation in the newcomer's award.
And the sales of Koisuru Metronome had also, with the help of Miyauchi Hikage and Aki Tomoya's promotion, successfully achieved a breakthrough in sales before the end of the month.
It was just that the Reading Value she had obtained on the surface had only just reached 20 points, but if you counted that commission she was too embarrassed to make public, she had actually already obtained 30 Reading Value from commissions.
Of course, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not feel that the so many Reading Points she had obtained was from the mysterious person's doting.
After all, this was all earned through her own efforts. Even if she had to thank someone, she would only thank Miyauchi Hikage a little.
However, she certainly would not have thought that above her, there was a Shiina Mashiro who was directly playing a cracked version of the diary. [lol]
Because Shiina Mashiro had extremely high talent for the ripple, plus Miyauchi Hikage's personal guidance, before the commission system was opened, the intensity of the ripple in her body had already steadily surpassed the other girls by a grade.
It was also because her strength had already surpassed the other girls that among the commissions the diary had arranged for her, basically every one or two days, a B-rank or even B+-rank exorcism commission would be refreshed.
Anyway, these B-rank exorcism commissions were all free-point questions for Miyauchi-sama, to the extent that in just a few days, the Reading Value Shiina Mashiro had obtained from commissions had already almost reached a hundred.
And it was also because of the investment of so many Reading Points that the intensity of Shiina Mashiro's ripple was naturally also improving rapidly.
One could say that as long as a supernatural being with perceptive ability were to meet the current Shiina Mashiro, they would be able to feel the surging life energy in her body.
In order to avoid trouble, Miyauchi Hikage had also made a small sealing talisman for her.
"Except when you're taking a bath these few days, you have to remember to stick this sealing talisman on your body. If you accidentally damage it, just call Jerry and have it come and help you, you know?"
"You don't have to care about the commissions these few days. If you don't want to accept them, just leave them there. Anyway, there are no other second-batch diary holders here in Tokyo. You don't have to worry about someone coming to intercept your commissions."
During the Golden Week holiday, Miyauchi Hikage naturally had to go back to Asahigaoka for a trip. Now he was giving Shiina Mashiro some final instructions before going back to his hometown.
He wouldn't be taking Jerry back. He would let it continue to stay in Tokyo to catch some ghosts and vengeful spirits for research. Anyway, Beika Town's side was a no-man's-land. As long as the commotion wasn't too big, it would be fine.
Shiina Mashiro really wanted to go back with him, but Shiina Mahiru's personality was still too shy to go to someone else's house and trouble them. In addition, she had just signed up for the newcomer's award. It was more convenient for her to stay in Tokyo now, so she could only obediently stay.
