"…Masumi, could you help for a mont?" Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly said softly.
Her cane was right beside her, but compared to walking on her own, having soone support her was more convenient.
"?" Kamuro Masumi, who had just taken a sip of her coffee, looked confused.
But she was already used to Sakayanagi's style.
She put down her cup, stood up, and with practiced ease supported Sakayanagi, guiding her over to Wang iyu in just two steps.
At the sa ti, she grabbed the cane and placed it into Sakayanagi's hand.
"..." Sakayanagi glanced at Kamuro, who had already gone back to sitting and enjoying her coffee.
This ti, she didn't say anything.
Instead, she supported herself with the cane in one hand and reached out with the other, taking Wang iyu's hand.
"Is your heartbeat speeding up?" Her fingers pressed lightly against Wang iyu's wrist.
"Do you feel your heart fluttering?"
"Or… should I get even closer?"
In Sakayanagi's previous judgnt, Wang iyu was likely a lesbian.
And although her own body was sowhat smaller and more fragile than most girls, judging from the diary's past behavior, she probably matched Wang iyu's preferences quite well.
After all, the diary had once spent an entire page calling out her na.
So, Wang iyu should be feeling her heart race.
"..."
Wang iyu's heart really was beating faster.
Being suddenly approached, suddenly having her hand grabbed, and then hearing Sakayanagi say sothing like that…
It wasn't just "fluttering."
She was terrified.
"N-no no no no no, that's not necessary—!"
Like a startled rabbit, she yanked her hand back and waved frantically.
"M-my orientation is v-very very very normal…!"
"Th-then, um, thank you very much for the coffee, I-I'll be going now!"
She jumped to her feet, bowed deeply, and fled in a panic.
"…So you're gay?" Kamuro Masumi suddenly muttered from the side.
Watching Wang iyu flee in confusion, even heading in the wrong direction several tis and nearly bumping into other students, Sakayanagi clenched her cane tightly and gritted her teeth.
"Absolutely! Not!"
Of course her orientation was normal too!
Damn it, damn it!
Didn't this an she had confidently convinced herself of the wrong answer, declared victory in her own mind, and ended up being a complete joke for an entire month?!
And in other people's eyes, didn't this just make her look like so random girl who suddenly approached soone and tried to confess as a lesbian?!
"Flip, flip, flip—"
Just as Sakayanagi was getting so angry that her chest started feeling uncomfortable, the sound of pages turning suddenly ca from nearby.
She realized what it was imdiately.
The diary.
It had updated.
"..."
Silent.
Expressionless.
With a deadpan face, Sakayanagi turned away from Wang iyu's disappearing figure and extended her hand toward Kamuro.
The aning was obvious.
Help her.
Kamuro could clearly sense that Sakayanagi was starting to get angry and had no intention of joking around anymore.
She stood up without hesitation and helped her little princess back to her original seat.
The coffee in front of Wang iyu's seat was barely touched.
Sakayanagi's own coffee was also barely touched.
The only one who had drunk most of her cup was Kamuro herself.
Turning her head, Kamuro saw that Sakayanagi had no intention of drinking either. She was just sitting there in silence, sulking.
Kamuro took another sip and clicked her tongue.
"It's pretty good. What a waste."
"..."
Sakayanagi wasn't sulking.
When she noticed discomfort in her chest, she closed her eyes and began calming herself down.
As a fragile girl born with physical weaknesses, she knew very well how harmful emotions could be to her body.
Most of the ti, she controlled herself well.
Just now…
She had lost control a little.
The reason Kamuro thought she was angry was simple.
She had opened the diary.
The content was still refreshing bit by bit.
The other party was currently writing wildly, waving his pen around.
As for today's entry, Sakayanagi already had an idea of what it would be like.
Since she had mistaken the identity, he would definitely seize that weakness and press his advantage.
So even though she opened the diary, she didn't rush to read it.
Instead, she closed her eyes and organized her thoughts.
Let's go back to yesterday's entry.
Yesterday was the thirty-first day since the diary appeared, and the final day of the behavior evaluation exam.
There was no need to summarize the content—just the usual provocations.
The important part was what ca afterward.
The "ssage" function.
And her ssage, which had been covered in ssy annotations.
That was the real reason she had sought out Wang iyu again today.
At first, she had thought that Wang iyu—or rather, the person behind the diary—had done nothing for a month because he had given up.
He had even clearly written "I surrender" in the diary.
So she thought he had stopped.
But reality proved otherwise.
He wasn't surrendering at all.
He was enduring everything just to wait for the day D Class hit zero.
Those arrogant words were proof.
The bright red annotations on her ssage were proof.
Pure provocation.
…Damn it.
She had only written a single question mark.
Yet it had been covered in glaring red text full of nonsense.
It was absolutely deliberate.
A blatant show of force.
A trampling of her dignity.
But that wasn't the worst part.
Fine, annotations were annotations.
The different colors made it obvious that those words weren't hers.
No one would be stupid enough to think she wrote them herself.
What she couldn't stand…
Was the number next to her ssage.
The "likes."
Sakayanagi knew what that was.
A raised fist.
A thumbs-up.
A bright, unmistakable like symbol.
And next to it—
The number: 7.
She no longer doubted what that number ant.
Because it clearly wasn't sothing the diary's owner could manipulate.
In other words—
There were at least seven people who could see the diary and the ssages.
Seven people who might believe the diary's fabricated rumors.
It couldn't get any worse.
