Miyauchi Hikage once again revealed his current signature move—those sparkling eyes.
With this, many things could be easily explained away.
Because when he used this ability, anyone staring into his pupils could sense a trace of mystery from his iridescent eyes.
Even Shinomiya Kaguya, who had already entered the inner world, couldn't help but feel that she was being seen through by him in front of these eyes.
But at the same time, Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Miyauchi Hikage's eyes were truly beautiful.
After seeing Hoshino Ai's eyes with stars twinkling in them, she had thought that no one's eyes could be more beautiful than hers.
Unexpectedly, after Miyauchi Hikage activated his ability, these deep and crystalline eyes gave people the illusion that they were falling into them just by looking at them.
She wondered what the eyes of Gojo Satoru-sensei, who wore an eye mask all day to look cool, looked like under the mask. She heard from a second-year senpai that Gojo Satoru had inherited the Six Eyes of the Gojo family and would also have some changes when activating his technique.
Collecting her thoughts, Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Miyauchi Hikage's eyes with appreciation and let out a heartfelt praise.
She resisted the urge to ask him about his ability.
Since she wanted to gain favorability, she naturally had to be reserved and not show that she really wanted to know his ability. It would be best if he proactively told her about his ability.
Then, Miyauchi Hikage said what he saw in Shinomiya Kaguya.
"You are curious about the ability of my eyes."
He didn't use a questioning tone, but a normal declarative tone.
This startled Shinomiya Kaguya.
Had her inner thoughts been seen through by Miyauchi Hikage?
Miyauchi Hikage smiled, and the light in his eyes slowly faded.
"This is my ability."
Shinomiya Kaguya stared at Miyauchi Hikage. What did he mean by that?
Was that sentence just now the manifestation of his ability?
She did want to know what the ability of Miyauchi Hikage's eyes was, but she just suppressed the urge to ask.
Could it be that his eyes could see her true inner thoughts?
Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya felt a little flustered.
Under the education of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya had mastered the "mind reading technique" of reading others' thoughts through expressions and movements.
But this could only be considered some application of psychology.
In front of true mind reading, her ability was completely useless.
But at the same time, she was a little confused.
Mind reading was indeed not weak, and could play a huge role in both combat and daily life.
In that other world, Miyauchi Hikage used this ability to see through Tohru's inner thoughts, thus successfully saving her. This seemed to make sense.
But she always felt that mind reading was a bit too simple, and using this ability would make his eyes glow, which seemed a bit too conspicuous.
If the ability Miyauchi Hikage awakened was just simple mind reading, would Gojo Satoru praise Miyauchi Hikage's potential so much?
However, Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just come into contact with the inner world, didn't know the status of mind reading in the inner world, so she didn't continue to think about it.
She only knew that she had no intention of hurting Miyauchi Hikage in the first place, and even if he read her mind, he wouldn't be able to read anything related to the diary under the diary's shielding.
After having her thoughts seen through by Miyauchi Hikage, Shinomiya Kaguya nodded frankly at him, indicating that she did have such thoughts in her heart, but she also knew that these supernatural abilities were everyone's most important privacy and shouldn't be casually revealed.
She also reminded Miyauchi Hikage not to reveal this news to outsiders casually in the future, lest he be used by people with bad intentions.
Speaking of bad intentions, who could compare to you right now?
Before, you wanted to conquer me physically and mentally, to make me work for you for a lifetime.
Now you want to use your identity as a successor of the Breathing Styles and a classmate to build a good relationship with me, so that I can help you when I grow up in the future.
Maybe in your heart right now, you're even secretly trying to test if I'm the mysterious person.
Miyauchi Hikage heard all of this clearly through the ability of the Name Magic while Shinomiya Kaguya was mumbling to herself.
Anyway, among the people Miyauchi Hikage knew and had contacted, this one could indeed be considered one of the most scheming people.
Of course, Miyauchi Hikage didn't dislike this kind of Shinomiya Kaguya.
After all, her upbringing and the attitudes of those around her indicated that Shinomiya Kaguya could not be a person without schemes.
To be precise, the appearance she showed at the beginning, where her IQ automatically dropped to 0 whenever she encountered anything related to romance, felt more formulaic to him.
After all, stories of wealthy young ladies throwing themselves at someone were indeed too common, and Miyauchi Hikage had seen too many before transmigrating.
And the current Shinomiya Kaguya, although not as cold as Ice Kaguya because of the diary and appearing more human, was not like in the manga where she plunged headlong into love and couldn't get out.
Since Shinomiya Kaguya had decided to "sever love ties," jump out of the original work, and enter the inner world to start her "big heroine" story, Miyauchi Hikage was also curious to know how far she could go relying on the power of the diary.
Of course, asking him to be someone's dog was out of the question.
Her figure was indeed pitiful too.
Although people said "flat is justice," compared to Yukinoshita Yukino, Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't even sit at the same table.
At least Yukinoshita had long legs. Shinomiya Kaguya's petite figure... forget it.
But he could still leach off the resources of the Shinomiya family.
At least for now, the supernatural beings of the inner world still had to abide by the rules of the outer world. The wealth and power of the outer world could still do a lot of things.
Shinomiya Kaguya's ordinary talent allowed her to join Jujutsu High because of the Shinomiya family behind her.
Thinking of this, Miyauchi Hikage nodded slightly at Shinomiya Kaguya and showed a smile that made it impossible to feel disgusted.
"My abilities are certainly more than these, and I already have ideas for developing them accordingly."
Still as outstanding as ever.
Shinomiya Kaguya sighed in her heart, and at the same time asked Miyauchi Hikage about how it felt to awaken to the supernatural, hoping to find a way to use it as a reference.
"It's probably about letting your spirit be in a state of tension first. After all, what happened that night was indeed a bit thrilling. If that female ghost hadn't had little interest in me, I might not have lasted until Gojo Satoru-san arrived."
Miyauchi Hikage briefly explained what happened that night, and by the way, gave Shinomiya Kaguya some hints—Kanoe Yuuko might have a diary.
After all, suddenly obtaining a magical artifact that could shield mental influence, burst out with special power in a short time, and could not be mentioned.
The shrine maiden on the scene, Kanoe Yuuko's main body, and Gojo Satoru all knew about these things. The wanted notice for the shadow Yuuko would also mention this point.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya almost couldn't keep her composure.
A vengeful spirit close to special-grade, suspected of having a diary.
If that was really a diary, it meant that the vengeful spirit might have forcibly snatched her main body's diary after discovering the danger and fled, and her whereabouts were now unknown.
This was not good news. She had to notify the girls in the group to be careful immediately.
Such a powerful vengeful spirit, if she also had a diary in her hand, heaven knows what she would do once she discovered the diary's functions!
Especially since the other party might be a second-batch diary holder.
Even if there was still protection against harm between the two batches, what if she snatched a commission whenever she saw one?
The diary clearly supported competition for commissions between the two batches of diary holders.
A vengeful spirit with only hatred in her heart, coupled with the mechanism of snatching others' commissions, heaven knows how many tragedies would occur!
Miyauchi Hikage could naturally see the worry in Shinomiya Kaguya's heart. After all, everyone had so many schemes. What Shinomiya Kaguya could think of, he naturally also thought of on the day he subdued the shadow Yuuko.
It seemed there were no other second-batch diary holders in Tokyo, so he could only rely on himself.
After he brought the shadow Yuuko back to Tokyo, he was prepared to use this diary to stir up trouble.
Originally, Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to probe Miyauchi Hikage, but the more skillful Miyauchi Hikage quickly diverted her attention to other places.
Miyauchi Hikage also took the initiative to comfort Shinomiya Kaguya, saying that it was just a vengeful spirit not yet at special-grade. There were quite a few special-grade existences in Japan. If she dared to show her face again, she definitely wouldn't get any benefits.
"Moreover, the shrine dedicated to Miss Kanoe Yuuko is already being built. If she can also become a god... Anyway, after Kanoe Yuuko is worshipped, even if that evil Kanoe Yuuko is promoted to special-grade, she probably won't be her opponent."
Miyauchi Hikage deliberately sold another flaw.
After all, he hadn't mentioned that Honma Meiko could become a god before. He believed Shinomiya Kaguya would notice the flaw of his words.
The immature Shinomiya Kaguya fell for the trick as expected. Seeing Miyauchi Hikage showing signs of "eyes drifting upwards" again, she took this action as his subconscious reaction when adjusting his thoughts to explain.
Shinomiya Kaguya put aside the matter of the shadow Yuuko slightly.
Miyauchi Hikage was right. A vengeful spirit close to special-grade definitely couldn't make any waves even if she went to Tokyo.
However, she still expressed her desire to go with Miyauchi Hikage to meet that Kanoe Yuuko and confirm the situation.
On the surface, she said she was a little concerned about Kanoe Yuuko's story back then and wanted to meet more beings from the inner world.
Miyauchi Hikage was going to meet Kanoe Yuuko again anyway, so this was naturally not much of a problem.
And after chatting to this point, Shinomiya Kaguya seemed to want to go back to Jujutsu High with Miyauchi Hikage directly after meeting Kanoe Yuuko, and by the way, help him with the enrollment procedures.
"Eh, didn't Gojo Satoru-san tell you?" Miyauchi Hikage said somewhat puzzledly.
"Gojo Satoru-san had already invited me before, but actually, I'm still thinking about understanding the situation of the inner world first before making a decision."
Miyauchi Hikage rubbed his head, appearing very "honest."
"Although Nanami-san is very good to me and has helped me a lot, Nanami-san has also talked to me a lot about his dissatisfaction with that 'job', so I don't have plans to enroll in Jujutsu High for the time being. At least I'll make a decision after I know more about the situation."
Miyauchi Hikage then mentioned the invitations from Chichibu Shrine and the Guanyin Temple.
Leaving aside the Guanyin Temple for now, the conditions offered by Chichibu Shrine might treat him as the next priest of Chichibu Shrine to cultivate.
In comparison, Jujutsu High was just an ordinary enrollment. Apart from having "the strongest" Gojo Satoru as a teacher, there didn't seem to be any other special treatment.
This made Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly realize that Miyauchi Hikage was different from her.
The Shinomiya family had no status in the inner world. It was only by relying on huge resources that Jujutsu High opened its doors to her.
But Miyauchi Hikage was a supernatural being who had already awakened supernatural powers.
Even without looking at what ability Miyauchi Hikage had awakened, his own talent and character, as well as the bond between him and Honma Meiko, were enough for the supernatural forces around the Chichibu area to extend olive branches to him.
Shinto, Buddhism, Jujutsu High. The three forces that Miyauchi Hikage had dealt with and received invitations from so far could be considered the most powerful local supernatural forces in Japan.
No wonder Miyauchi Hikage's address for Gojo Satoru still had a sense of unfamiliarity.
In this case, Miyauchi Hikage indeed didn't need to rush to make a decision. He could completely maintain good relationships with all three forces at the same time and then wait for the right price.
Shinomiya Kaguya's mind turned, and she had already thought of many ways to help Miyauchi Hikage maximize his benefits.
She had her background in reality and was also a student at Jujutsu High, while Chichibu Shrine had Honma Meiko. With just a little maneuvering, she could indeed let Miyauchi Hikage gain more benefits.
As long as she could make Miyauchi Hikage notice this in the process, the connection between them would be established.
"I understand. With your talent, you indeed can't make a decision so quickly," Shinomiya Kaguya nodded in agreement with Miyauchi Hikage. "If there's anything you need help with, just tell me, and I'll do my best to help."
"Although my strength is not high now, I can still put in a few good words for you at Jujutsu High."
Miyauchi Hikage put on a grateful posture. He didn't have any thoughts about where he would hang out. Even if the Distillery from Conan's side came to pull him over and give him the title of Moutai, he wouldn't care.
Anyway, he was already prepared to build his own supernatural force. No matter where he went, he was just a slacking mole.
And after chatting about these, Shinomiya Kaguya finally made her last request.
That was to have a spar with Miyauchi Hikage using only Hamon.
