She had seen the story of Kasumigaoka Utaha, which was sent by the Mysterious Person in the diary.
Actually, she was very interested in this story and even wanted to adapt it into a manga.
To be precise, she was very interested in all the stories the Mysterious Person wrote in the diary and wanted to draw them.
But she also knew that these were other people's stories, and if she were to adapt them, it would be best to get the approval of the Mysterious Person and the original owners of the stories.
Now the Mysterious Person was already in front of him.
She also knew Katō Megumi.
And when she met Megumi, she had asked if she could draw her into her manga, and had already received her consent (incidentally, Miyauchi Kazuho had not even waited for Shiina Mashiro to ask, and had already expressed that she could freely draw herself into the manga).
So, all she needed now was to get the consent of Utaha, Aki Tomoya, and Eriri Spencer Sawamura, and she could draw this story.
Utaha was right here, so of course she had to go and ask.
Therefore, she nodded lightly and said, "I want to draw her."
Hearing Mashiro's words, Renji Miyauchi knew her intentions.
"As long as you don't reveal my secret, I can help you draw the manga, how about it?" he quickly and softly whispered in Mashiro's ear.
Mashiro did not hesitate for too long; after receiving Renji's reply, she nodded again, indicating that she could accept.
She had originally only hoped to learn more interesting stories from him.
Her mind had never really cared about the thoughts of the other girls who owned diaries, apart from the approval to draw manga.
Receiving such a straightforward reply from Mashiro, Renji also felt relieved.
A natural airhead has her advantages; at least Mashiro would not lie in her words or actions.
So he turned his head to look at the people around him.
"Since Mashiro-chan has such an idea, why don't we wait until she finishes this autograph session before discussing it?"
Sakakibara Kōichi and Itō Kaiji, these two companions, naturally had no objections; after all, it was still early.
And being able to stroll around with several beautiful girls was a rare experience for people like them, who were relatively more introverted.
Shiina Mahiru, on the other hand, still seemed a bit conflicted.
Although she knew that her cousin had returned to Japan because she wanted to draw manga, running up to someone she liked and asking if she could draw them into her manga was a bit much.
It was fine for those with good tempers like Megumi and Kōka, and Renji, who seemed to have a little secret with her cousin.
But the other party seemed to be simply their senior, and she was currently holding an autograph session; wouldn't it be a bit rude to go over at this time and express a desire to draw her into her manga?
But seeing that no one present seemed to object, she could only sigh softly, preparing to buy a copy of "Love Metronome" for her cousin, while muttering to herself what she should say to explain for her cousin if the other party became unhappy later.
In the end, Renji and his group bought three copies of "Love Metronome"; Mahiru accompanied Mashiro with one, and Renji and Kōka each held one.
Megumi, due to her limited pocket money, planned to borrow Kazuho's copy after she finished reading it, and if she found it good, she would then buy one to support it.
As for Kaiji and Kōichi, they had already gone to the manga section to find manga to pass the time.
Meanwhile, on Utaha's side, the autograph session officially began at 10 AM, and continued after a brief break at noon.
Even with the power of Ripple Breathing, sitting in one place for so long and having to maintain a professional smile constantly, she couldn't help but feel a bit worn out.
It's really not easy to be a professional writer.
And now she was just a rookie writer who had just debuted, and there weren't actually that many people willing to buy her book for an autograph.
Among them, truly loyal fans, besides Tomoya who was the first to queue up, seemed to be only a dozen or so; most were just casual readers who came along for the fun.
Perhaps many of them were even shills arranged by the Shinomiya Group.
And it was during this formalized signing and thanking that two golden-haired girls, as exquisite as porcelain dolls, suddenly appeared before her, disrupting her original rhythm.
"Thank you for your support of this book..." Kasumigaoka Utaha, who habitually spoke, immediately noticed the difference in these readers before her.
The appearance of these two golden-haired readers, who seemed to be mixed-race, was simply too outstanding.
They were in no way inferior to the girls who owned diaries.
Utaha subconsciously compared them to Eriri Spencer Sawamura.
She felt that in terms of skin, the golden-haired reader in front of her, whose eyes seemed a little vacant, had even finer skin than Eriri, who already resembled a doll.
If Eriri was a 10,000 yen doll, then this girl in front of her was at least a limited edition doll that might not even be available for hundreds of thousands of yen.
Utaha's gaze couldn't help but linger on the other party for a few more glances.
But for some reason, the more she looked, the more she felt a familiar aura about the other party.
It wasn't until a more familiar diary suddenly appeared in the other party's hand, and after a flash in front of her, it was put away again.
Utaha's eyes immediately changed.
So it was another girl who possessed a diary.
She had already seen several girls today whom she hadn't seen last time.
Like the girl who was called [NO NAME] in the chat group and whose real name was Hinata Aoi, who had promised to come and compare gaming skills with Umaru.
And there was also an unknown singer-songwriter, a pure passerby who was ten times more obscure than Hoshino Ai's B Komachi, whose name had not yet been mentioned by the Mysterious Person, but who, having been chosen by the diary, firmly believed that she would become Japan's most famous singer-songwriter in the future, a girl named Tsukimi Eiko.
Only this one now...
Utaha thought for a long time, but couldn't recall any girl in the chat group that matched the other party's image.
She was about to ask if the other party had joined the chat group when she heard what Mashiro said.
"I am Shiina Mashiro, and I want to draw your story into a manga."
Huh?
Utaha was stunned for a moment, instantly understanding the other party's meaning.
So the other party intended to draw the story of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend into a manga?
Hiss—
She couldn't help but gasp.
She could now confirm that she had indeed not seen this girl in the chat group before, after all, none of the girls in the chat group had ever said they wanted to draw her story into a manga and directly come to ask for her opinion.
The other golden-haired girl next to Mashiro, however, seemed a bit nervous and quickly stepped forward to explain: "My cousin just returned from abroad. She really likes your story and also has a great passion for manga, which is why she said that to you. Please don't mind it."
So she was a girl who just returned from abroad?
She just didn't know whether the diary she obtained was acquired after returning to Japan or while she was still abroad.
After all, most of the girls who had obtained diaries so far were basically in Japan, and there were no foreign group members in the chat group. Many people speculated that perhaps diaries could only be obtained in Japan.
As she thought this, she smiled and nodded towards the girl, then turned and whispered to Mashiro, "I don't mind, after all, my story has already changed, but if you want to draw it into a manga, you'll have to get the true protagonist of that story to agree, right?"
Although she had just greeted Mashiro, she had already discerned a somewhat natural aura about the girl in front of her.
She wanted to see if the other party would really go to Tomoya and Megumi to ask for this so-called consent.
Then, to her astonishment, Mashiro blinked again, then waved to a girl who wasn't queuing nearby.
Although the girl was a bit puzzled, she still waved back, indicating that she was there.
Just by glancing at that girl, Utaha froze.
Katō Megumi.
The true female protagonist, known as "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," a woman who had the final victory locked in from her very first appearance.
She naturally knew what the other party looked like; in fact, upon seeing the other party's appearance, which was almost identical to the novel, and her low presence, Utaha was still a bit disappointed.
In terms of appearance, she was indeed very cute, and her figure, though not as good as her own, was still decent.
But overall, it was true that no distinctive features could be seen on her.
Losing to such a woman, and one who was even designated by the Mysterious Person as "the kind who would have to remove the original female protagonist to get ahead even in an IF route manga," Utaha truly didn't know how she had lost.
Suppressing this feeling of helplessness, Utaha turned to look at Mashiro in front of her.
Mashiro, meanwhile, continued to say with her unchanging expression, "I have already obtained her consent."
It was her mistake to have just regarded this girl as a harmless natural.
How was this girl harmless? She was clearly a beast in sheep's clothing.
She had only just returned to the country, and she had already somehow connected with Megumi, a girl who didn't even have a diary.
Even if the other party was a girl who possessed a diary, she had to quickly figure out what kind of background this girl had.
Utaha took the copy of Love Metronome from Mashiro's hand, quickly wrote her signature on it, then quickly wrote down her commonly used email and contact information, and then took out another piece of paper, seemingly wanting Mashiro to write down her contact information on it.
It was their business if the other party didn't want to join the chat group, but since she had met a new diary holder, it was natural to exchange contact information.
Otherwise, she would have to wait for the Shinomiya Group to investigate this girl's identity first.
Mashiro didn't seem to understand what this meant, but Mahiru was slightly stunned when she saw the contact information on the book.
What was going on today? It felt like her cousin always managed to get results she couldn't understand, in ways she couldn't understand.
It seemed like this beautiful senior in front of them was agreeing to her cousin's approach?
Why was this happening?
But although she couldn't figure it out, she still whispered a few hints into her cousin's ear, and only then did Mashiro belatedly write down her contact information.
A London phone number—she hadn't even gotten a Japanese phone card yet.
Mahiru rubbed her head and also wrote down her contact information.
After thanking Utaha, she also said that if she wanted to find her cousin, she could just contact her.
"Excuse me, my cousin has taken up so much time. Kōka and Renji-chan, you two come over too."
Utaha then once again focused her gaze on the two young people behind them, who looked similar and had similar names, clearly twins.
So they were just two ordinary friends, and they even came with Mashiro, a girl who possessed a diary.
It seemed they had nothing to do with the Mysterious Person.
She might as well say a few extra words to them while signing.
Thinking this, Kasumigaoka Utaha took her novel from Miyauchi Kazuho's hand and wrote a few lines of blessing on it.
At the same time, she casually asked Kōka and the other person a question.
"You two are biological siblings, right? Did you come with that pair of sisters earlier?"
When this was brought up, Kazuho immediately became eager to explain.
She first respectfully addressed Utaha as "senior," telling Utaha that they were both one year her junior.
Then Kazuho continued to explain to Utaha that she was actually the older sister, and Renji Miyauchi was the younger brother.
Finally, she said that the Shiina sisters were now their neighbors and very good friends, and that it was they, the siblings, who suggested the Shiina sisters come to this autograph session.
Listening to Kazuho basically spilling all her secrets with just a casual remark from the other party, Renji couldn't help but cover his forehead.
Utaha's expression also looked a bit subtle.
So that Mashiro hadn't initially thought of coming to her autograph session, and everything was because of the instigation of this junior from her own school?
Wait, a junior from the same school?
Utaha suddenly thought of a possibility. She looked at the Shiina sisters, who were chatting with Megumi not far away, and then asked Kōka about her relationship with Megumi.
After receiving the answer that they were classmates at the same desk and best friends at school, Utaha felt that everything was explained.
So the reason why she and Megumi knew each other was because you acted as the adhesive in the middle.
