Kaguya: "The list of other personnel is still under investigation, but Shiina Mashiro, whom the Mysterious Person mentioned tonight, is indeed very famous abroad. I've already uploaded her information to the group chat, so everyone can take a look."
As the girls in the group chat gathered around, a series of exclamations soon erupted in the chat.
Bocchi: "How, how amazing! She's a genius! She was already qualified to hold a solo art exhibition when she was in middle school, wasn't she?"
Classical Literature Club Girl: "She even shook hands and took a photo with the British Prime Minister and is called the most brilliant pearl among future painters."
The group chat was basically filled with exclamations about the incredibly brilliant life resume of Mashiro, who is also only a first-year high school student this year. Several people even said that they had seen her name in some news before today.
Black Cat: "So, this world-class painter isn't planning to stay in the art world now and wants to return to Japan to draw manga, and she's even planning to directly adapt Kasumi Shiko-sensei's story into a manga?"
Kasumi utako: "...That should be correct. She has already obtained my and Katō Megumi's consent."
Looking at the information on Mashiro, Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart was the most unsettled.
At first, she didn't take seriously what Mahiru said about Mashiro being very good at painting. After all, how high could the skill of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl be?
At most, it would be at the level of Eriri or the Eromanga Sensei mentioned by Renji in his diary.
Who would have thought this was a world-class painter?!
Utaha carefully read the other party's information.
Given her skill, if one could become her oil painting model, it would truly be an opportunity to achieve historical fame.
So why would such a painter suddenly have a change of heart and come to Japan to become a mangaka?
Utaha silently typed out her complaint in the group chat.
"I originally thought that a dōjin artist like Eriri, who draws adult manga before even coming of age, was already abnormal, but now I've encountered this kind of underage girl who gives up her identity as a world-class artist to come back and become a mangaka. Perhaps this is why she can become a protagonist."
"And it's definitely that kind of cliché, like a romance anime from ten years ago."
In response, the girls in the chat group also expressed their agreement.
Such complaints like "This kind of character design really resembles an anime protagonist" are already common in this chat group.
Like the chūnibyō Black Cat and Takanashi;
Yukinoshita Yukino and Shinomiya Kaguya, who are rich young ladies;
Umaru and Hinata Aoi, who are outwardly honor students but are actually gaming masters in private;
Eriri, who draws adult dōjinshi, is not a member of the chat group, but because her character design is too anime-like, and because Utaha has been feeding her information daily recently, she is also a favorite topic of discussion for them.
And now, with the appearance of Mashiro, a character has finally emerged in this regard who can be compared with Kaguya, the young lady of a two hundred trillion asset group.
Under the exclamations of the girls in the chat group, Kasumigaoka Utaha pretty much knew how to deal with the somewhat innocent-looking Shiina Mashiro.
Since the other party wants to draw her story, let her draw it, as long as she doesn't use real names in the manga.
Actually, a better choice would naturally be mutual cooperation.
To make Mashiro give up the idea of adapting Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend's story into a manga, and then have her agree to adapt Love Metronome—of course, not her IF route manga, but the novel she created—into a manga.
But after thinking about it carefully, Utaha felt that this possibility was small.
After all, she is a world-renowned oil painter. Although the reason why she wants to become a mangaka is unclear, even if she goes the route of a mangaka debut, the publishing house will definitely invest considerable resources in promoting Mashiro.
In such a situation, it won't be easy to get her to draw the Love Metronome manga of herself, an unknown author.
"Or try to get her to draw a more dramatic story?"
Utaha felt that her literary skills were quite good. If the other party really didn't know what to draw, she could try to become her scriptwriter and help her with her manga debut.
She was pondering here about how she should approach Miyauchi Kazuho, a first-year junior, in a few days, and incidentally, how to reasonably propose her cooperation suggestion to Mashiro through her.
As she was thinking this, she had no idea that Mashiro had already found another, even more unshakeable scriptwriter for herself before meeting her.
Renji Miyauchi, who was editing videos at home, suddenly sneezed.
"To have my identity probed by a little girl like Mashiro today, I must reflect on this. I must also be more hard-hearted. Next time I encounter a similar situation, I must never directly interfere again."
"I don't know what Mashiro wants me to do tomorrow, but given her personality, she should only want me to assist her in drawing manga."
He muttered to himself, self-reflecting, and then continued his work while waiting for today's reward.
Meanwhile, at the "BB Nightclub" in Shibuya, Tsukimi Eiko, who had been out all day, was still performing her work on stage, completely unaware that the Mysterious Person had mentioned her name for the first time in his diary tonight.
However, the popularity of this matter in the chat group was not particularly high.
Because apart from the initial chat, some people in the group were curious about what kind of encounter Eiko would have in the future, as the Mysterious Person had rarely used the adjective "top-tier performance" when evaluating her.
But because she was @'d several times in the group without any response, and because this "top-tier performance" didn't seem like a bad thing.
In the hearts of these girls, this so-called "top-tier performance" was probably similar to the abstract plot twists like Kaguya's "I want to be a photographer." So, they basically stopped discussing Eiko's situation.
After all, who would have thought that Eiko's "top-tier performance" would actually involve Kōmei, who had passed away 1800 years ago, coming to the modern world to become her manager?
The reason Renji didn't write this in was, for one, he wanted to see if he could gain the approval of Kōmei, and for another, he wasn't sure if the Kōmei in this world would be the same as the one in the original work.
After all, just the name Fuyuki City being there, even after his investigation, where no fires had ever occurred and no unknown creatures had ever appeared, he still couldn't draw a conclusion.
Who knows if other Holy Grail Wars have secretly erupted elsewhere?
What if the Kōmei that Eiko conjured up was truly a fusion of the Type-Moon version?
Then, if a few other Heroic Spirits were added, it wouldn't be impossible to have a Holy Grail War set in modern Tokyo.
"Fuyuki City in this world is peaceful, but other places are hard to say," Renji muttered, thinking that he should stop thinking so much and just diligently write his diary to develop.
Perhaps because he had been muttering about Type-Moon all night, when he received his diary reward that night, he finally, after a long time, gained another supernatural ability from Type-Moon.
Or rather, a passive skill whose superpower wasn't so obvious.
Golden Rule: A (The holder is blessed with wealth throughout their life, never needing to worry about money regardless of location or circumstances, and can live the life of a wealthy person as they please)
"Damn it, what good is this skill to me?"
Looking at today's reward, Renji couldn't help but rub his hair.
How great it would have been if this skill had come when he was starting his business.
Don't look at how well Asahigaoka is developing now, but when he first started, Renji also failed several times before gradually finding his direction.
If he had this skill at that time, he wouldn't have needed to put in so much effort shooting videos to attract traffic and earn money.
He probably could have dug up a lot of gold and silver treasures from the mountains behind his house if he had lived in Asahigaoka for a month or two.
Now this skill really came a bit late.
He is already wealthy, and he owns a house in Tokyo, so he is basically living the life of a great magnate, just not as freely as he would like.
The Golden Rule's blessing wasn't as important to him anymore.
However, since it was an ability given for free by the diary, it was better than a box of Immortal Happy Tea or something.
"Alright, at least I'm blessed with wealth now. No matter what I do in the future, I should be able to make money effortlessly. I just don't know if this passive aura can radiate to Asahigaoka. If it can, I'll just continue to be a registered consultant there."
Renji really wanted to test this ability of his, but there was nowhere good to test it at home.
He had already explored this Western-style house everywhere when he moved in, and after Jiraiya arrived, he also had Jiraiya's small body search everywhere once, confirming that there were no hidden secret doors in this house, and naturally no hidden treasures.
If he could pick up money while lying in his room like this, then he would truly be convinced by the power of the Golden Rule.
As he thought this, a strong gust of wind seemed to blow in from outside the window, and two 10,000-yen banknotes, coming from who knows where, were precisely blown onto his bedroom window by the wind.
Acquiring the Golden Rule actually wouldn't cause too many changes in Renji Miyauchi's life.
After all, the Golden Rule only made it easier for him to acquire money. As long as Renji himself didn't try to cause any commotion, he wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
For Renji, it simply meant that he could pick up money more easily now, and some inexplicable good fortune would always come his way.
For example, when buying drinks that might win prizes, the winning rate changed from the original 1/3 or 1/5 to almost 100% certainty now, until he got the last winning drink in the store, only then would there be a situation where he didn't win.
As for lotteries, Renji didn't try.
He felt that if he were to buy a lottery ticket now, it wouldn't be 100% a grand prize, but winning a few small prizes casually would definitely not be a problem.
But he wasn't short on this money, and if he really won some big prize, it would be too conspicuous. There was no need for him to do such a conspicuous thing now.
After all, throughout the entire day of school, besides a few inexplicable gusts of wind blowing about 30,000 yen in cash onto his hands and feet, the tax declaration that had been prepared earlier in Asahigaoka also suddenly received a new tax reduction for some reason, reducing his personal tax by about five or six million yen.
Sakakibara Kōichi didn't notice the change in his friend; he just came to inquire about the video before class.
Don't look at how calm he seemed last night; his chemical reaction with Itō Kaiji also looked good.
But when he returned home and recalled the evening's filming, he still couldn't help but feel nervous about his performance and wanted to see what he looked like in the video in advance.
"Don't worry, originally I only had about a 30% chance, but after the filming ended last night and after some simple preliminary editing, I now have a 90% chance of success."
It was indeed 30% at first. Before filming the video last night and obtaining the Golden Rule, Renji felt that his chance of success was about 70%.
However, after obtaining the Golden Rule, he felt that he could be a bit bolder.
If he couldn't make money even with the help of the Golden Rule's passive cheat, then it could only be said that the entire video industry probably had no future.
Having received such a definite answer from Renji, Kōichi, though still a bit unconfident, chose to trust the judgment of his professional friend.
After all, he was a video director from Asahigaoka, and there must be big shots from Asahigaoka guiding him behind the scenes.
"Then when will the next shoot be? If you're going to shoot, remember to tell me the filming location in advance so I can prepare."
It seems Kōichi is still quite interested in shooting videos now; he's already looking forward to the next episode.
Renji nodded in response: "No need to rush, we can take it slow at the beginning. We'll still shoot on weekends, but next time it will probably be moved to Saturday evening."
"As for the location, I'll let you know once I've decided."
After school, Renji appeased Itō Kaiji, who was also in high spirits, in the same way, then, under Miyauchi Kazuho's "escort," he headed to her rented apartment building.
According to Kazuho, she was fulfilling her promise to Mashiro that she would definitely bring him to Mashiro today, otherwise she would lose Mashiro's trust.
"I thought about it carefully after I got home yesterday and felt that there must be something fishy between you and Mashiro. You must have known her before, which is why she reacted to you that way."
After a night of careful thought, plus a reminder from Mahiru after returning home, Kazuho finally realized that she must have been fooled by her younger brother yesterday.
She and Mashiro had only known each other for one day, and the other party had never shown any particularly dependent expression in front of her. On the contrary, it was only after seeing Renji that Mashiro's attitude towards her suddenly changed.
"In short, it's too troublesome to explain. I'll explain it to you slowly when I have time later. Just think of her and me as some kind of special online friends. I can only tell you that I only met Shiina Mashiro for the first time yesterday, and I didn't expect her to recognize me."
Renji was certain that there were no other girls with a diary around him, so his tone of voice was quite relaxed.
"Anyway, let me go buy Mashiro something she likes to eat first, and then I'll go home with you."
Kazuho stared suspiciously at her younger brother.
Still playing dumb with me here.
You know what she likes to eat the first time you meet her, huh?
But she wasn't in a hurry either.
Anyway, no matter what this Renji does, she is his older sister, born half an hour before him, and she will figure out the truth sooner or later.
After buying a bag of Baumkuchen at a nearby cake shop, Renji thought for a moment and decided to let his greedy older sister try some first to see if she liked it.
Kazuho had no idea that she was just a taste-tester. When she took the cake from Renji's hand, she didn't think much of it and ate an entire Baumkuchen in one bite.
"Hmm, this cake tastes pretty good. I'll buy some more from this shop next time," Kazuho said, wanting to take a few more from her younger brother.
"I bought these for Mashiro. You can just ask her for them then."
However, as he said this, Renji still pulled out a 10,000-yen bill and handed it to Kōka as her pocket money for the week.
Upon seeing the money,Kazuho was indeed completely distracted, and after that, she didn't make any other requests.
They walked all the way to the rented apartment.
Shiina Mashiro hasn't completed her transfer procedures yet and is still staying at home reading manga and drawing.
She was originally supposed to transfer to the art department of Suimei University of the Arts Affiliated High School, where her other cousin, the manager of Sakura Dormitory, Sengoku Chihiro, was located.
But perhaps because she obtained the diary, causing her to return to Japan earlier, she is not currently in Sakura Dormitory but living with her cousin, Mahiru, who is the same age as her.
