Who Still Writes a Diary These Days? Chapter 141 141: It's All the Mysterious Person's Fault

After explaining to Shiina Mashiro what she needed to do, Mashiro just nodded her head in a half-understanding response.

But one look at her clear eyes and you could tell she hadn't understood at all.

However, Miyauchi Hikage didn't expect her to figure these things out.

It was enough for her to know that these things were happening so that when she was asked by the other girls, she could say a word or two and not arouse their suspicion.

The rest would still be basically handled by Miyauchi Hikage, borrowing Shiina Mashiro's identity.

After whispering with Shiina Mashiro for over ten minutes, Shiina Mahiru knocked on the door to let them know it was ti to eat.

When she ca to remind them, she also cautiously and carefully checked the situation inside the room.

After all, leaving two teenagers, a boy and a girl, alone in a room—especially when her own cousin looked like a natural airhead who was ready to throw herself at him—made it really hard for her to feel at ease.

Fortunately, although her cousin was quite worrying, Miyauchi Hikage's character was at least very good.

If her nice words back when they t in Akihabara were purely to cater to her cousin and Miyauchi Hikari, now she was genuinely starting to feel that Miyauchi Hikage was a trustworthy and very capable person.

In another year or two, perhaps she could feel at ease completely entrusting Shiina Mashiro to Miyauchi Hikage.

At the Shiina family's dining table.

The preserved egg and lean pork congee that Shiina Mahiru cooked tasted quite good.

In any case, seeing the way Hikari was slurping down bowl after bowl, one could tell that Mahiru's cooking was very much to her liking.

As for Miyauchi Hikage, after thanking her for the hospitality on behalf of his ill-mannered older sister, he thought for a mont and then said to Shiina Mahiru:

"I rember there are a few cookbooks passed down from China in my family's storehouse. When I co back after the holidays, I'll bring them over for you to take a look."

"Those cookbooks were probably written by so Super-Grade Chef a century or two ago. It's just that not many people in my family have a talent for cooking, and so of the recipes in there have so exaggerated techniques, but it should still be sowhat helpful for your culinary skills to use them as a reference."

Miyauchi Hikari, who was drinking her congee on the side, gave her younger brother a slightly puzzled look.

We have cookbooks in our storehouse?

How co I don't know anything about it?

Didn't we go through our family's storehouses together when we were kids?

The Miyauchi family had been settled in Asahigaoka for one or two hundred years. Although they weren't great landowners, they were considered standard wealthy farrs. Naturally, the family had accumulated many things over the years.

Then, she saw Miyauchi Hikage roll his eyes at her.

"Of course you don't know. You still don't like to read. Back then, the mont you saw those books full of Chinese characters, you said you got dizzy just looking at them. I only read a little bit when I was a kid too. I only found the rest when I was bored this sumr vacation."

"Just like those training thods. It was that kind samurai, or rather, swordsman, who helped our Miyauchi ancestors that I told you about before who taught them to our family."

With Miyauchi Hikage's explanation, Miyauchi Hikari instantly felt it was reasonable.

Those tattered books were dirty and old, and you had to be careful just to turn a page. After almost damaging a few books and getting scolded by their parents a couple of tis, she had completely lost interest in that stuff.

Only Miyauchi Hikage, the sole male heir of the Miyauchi family, would be interested in these things.

So she quickly nodded towards Shiina Mahiru.

She didn't know what a Super-Grade Chef was, but it sounded amazing just by the na.

Shiina Mahiru's cooking was already so delicious now. If she could learn the recipes from that cookbook, wouldn't she be able to feast to her heart's content every day for the next three years?

"I'll rember to remind Hikage then, too! I'll definitely help you bring that cookbook over!"

Seeing Miyauchi Hikari's reaction, Miyauchi Hikage nodded to himself.

As expected, besides his accomplice Shiina Mashiro, his other great assistant was his older sister, who knew nothing about their family's situation.

His family did have many old books. Before he obtained the diary, he had already found so fragnts about the Demon Slayer Corps in these ancient texts.

And it was only through his own investigation afterward that he confird the story of Demon Slayer should have ended a hundred years ago.

Thinking back to how the world was in a period of mysterious accelerated decline a hundred years ago, the Muzan of this world was probably forced into a corner, which was why he took the initiative to seek a final showdown with the Demon Slayer Corps.

In any case, besides these rumors related to the Demon Slayer Corps, the rest were mostly family trees and local records of the Asahigaoka area. There was nothing of particular value—if the Miyauchi family had really collected such precious ancient texts, they wouldn't have been farrs in Asahigaoka for over a hundred years.

The cookbook he ntioned was, naturally, a reward he had obtained from the diary.

Liu Maoxing's Cooking Notes.

It enhances the holder's culinary skills, and when cooking according to the recipes in the notes, there is an extrely low probability of creating the legendary glowing cuisine.

This item might be a treasure for a modern chef, but for Miyauchi Hikage, it was a bit useless.

After all, although his own cooking skills were passable, he was usually too lazy to cook. In his hands, these cooking notes could only be a collector's item.

He wasn't short on money, and he would never sell these notes, which were a part of his childhood mories, to others.

So, after thinking about it, since he didn't know any characters from Shokugeki no Soma right now and had no need to get involved in their troubles, he might as well just temporarily lend these notes to Shiina Mahiru, a girl with whom he had a good relationship and who also had great culinary talent.

As for glowing cuisine, Miyauchi Hikage felt that even the people at Totsuki Academy couldn't achieve it right now.

He had investigated. Although the "God's Tongue" and other "special abilities" from Shokugeki no Soma existed, their effects were not as heaven-defying as depicted in the manga.

As for clothes bursting and ripping just because the food was delicious, Miyauchi Hikage had not heard of such a thing happening anywhere at present.

Overall, the current Totsuki Academy just looked like an elite chef training school with very strict admission standards.

If one wanted to see the borderline ecchi clothes-bursting scenes from the original work, it would probably only be possible after spiritual energy had further revived.

Or, perhaps the culinary world had actually already awakened similar powers, but they had to be hidden due to the rules of the hidden world?

Miyauchi Hikage guessed in his heart.

He estimated that it would only be after the full revival of spiritual energy and a few more supernatural events that would gradually bring supernatural powers into the public eye, that stories from superpower sports series like Prince of Tennis and Kuroko's Basketball would begin to appear in this world.

Thinking of a certain Seishun Academy that also existed in this world, and the increasingly absurd, life-threatening tennis skills that appeared later in Prince of Tennis, those world-class tennis players could probably reach the level of a Special Grade Sorcerer.

Gigantification, black holes, ti loops, different dinsions, Asura's Path.

Forget the sorcerers; even Sukuna would probably have an existential crisis if he showed up.

But to be honest, Miyauchi Hikage was quite looking forward to such a world.

Compared to constantly trying to rule or destroy the world, wasn't it more fun for everyone to "happily" use superpowers to play tennis and basketball?

Pondering this in his heart, Miyauchi Hikage finished his breakfast in a pleasant mood.

But after arriving at school, this pleasant mood did not last long.

Because that woman, Kasumigaoka Utaha, was actually waiting for them at the school gate early in the morning.

After seeing the Miyauchi siblings attending school together with Shiina Mashiro, she even gave them a rather "friendly" greeting.

"Coming to school together again today? It seems you all have a good relationship. However, I have a little sothing I'd like to talk to Mashiro about. Could I borrow her for a mont?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha also seed to know that her current reputation in school was a bit delicate.

Therefore, before the crowd of onlookers grew larger, she pointed to the flowerbed next to the school building.

Not many people passed by there, and it was a public area, so there was no need to worry about her doing anything special to Shiina Mashiro.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha looked quite normal right now, feeling her gaze sweep past him for a mont, Miyauchi Hikage couldn't help but feel a little creeped out.

A woman who already had so yandere tendencies was indeed not to be trifled with.

The Old Hag Kasumi before him already seed a bit obsessed with obtaining Reading Value points faster.

Miyauchi Hikage looked at Shiina Mashiro.

Shiina Mashiro also looked at Miyauchi Hikage with an inquisitive gaze, as if asking if she should go with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Since Kasumigaoka-senpai has sothing to discuss with you, you should go with her. I'll be watching from the side," Miyauchi Hikage said with a smile, nodding at Shiina Mashiro.

He had already instructed Shiina Mashiro; he believed she could handle it well.

Hearing Miyauchi Hikage's answer, only then did Shiina Mashiro nod expressionlessly at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

To Miyauchi Hikari's sowhat gossipy gaze, the two girls walked towards the flowerbed on the side.

Miyauchi Hikage followed them from a short distance behind.

During this process, Miyauchi Hikari urged him more than once to quickly snatch Mashiro back from that ill-intentioned, black-stockinged demon king, lest the pure Mashiro be tainted by that woman.

Miyauchi Hikage looked at his older sister with so helplessness.

Do you even know what she's trying to do right now?

The one she wants to taint isn't Mashiro, but your dear younger brother!

Thinking of her request, which was most likely related to him, Miyauchi Hikage couldn't help but wipe his forehead.

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. I think Kasumigaoka-senpai really does have sothing to discuss with Mashiro. Even if she did want to do sothing, Mashiro wouldn't possibly be bullied."

Miyauchi Hikage reminded her.

Only then did Miyauchi Hikari rember that although Shiina Mashiro usually looked dazed and frail, her training in that strange breathing thod had already entered the second stage.

Forget using all her strength; if Shiina Mashiro were to arm-wrestle with her now, she could probably crush her with just one finger.

Thinking this, Miyauchi Hikari also felt much more at ease.

She was even looking forward to a scene where if Kasumigaoka Utaha tried to do sothing to Mashiro, she would be directly counter-killed by Shiina Mashiro.

Beside the flowerbed, Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at the Miyauchi siblings maintaining a safe distance behind her, a flash of helplessness in her eyes.

If it weren't for the Mysterious Person, how would her reputation at school have beco so awkward?

She took a deep breath and then asked Shiina Mashiro about her request situation.

Shiina Mashiro naturally wouldn't ntion the request she had received yesterday. She blinked her eyes and told her about the two new requests that had refreshed today.

Hearing that her second request was to have that Miyauchi Hikage choose her clothes every day, Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression couldn't help but beco a bit strange.

That guy, the Mysterious Person, really has so perverted tastes. Is it because Shiina Mashiro is rather naive that he arranges this type of request for her?

However, that Miyauchi Hikage was, after all, a background male character in a light yur-ish work who would almost never add scenes for himself. She probably didn't need to worry about him making any excessive demands.

"If you get any more outrageous requests in the future, rember not to just accept them casually."

"This request too. If that Miyauchi-kun ever picks out so weird clothes for you, you have to rember to refuse, understand?" Kasumigaoka Utaha reminded Shiina Mashiro.

But Shiina Mashiro just nodded absently.

Seeing Shiina Mashiro's appearance, Kasumigaoka Utaha knew that her words were most likely said in vain.

This girl was just too naive, completely without any self-awareness as a diary holder.

The Mysterious Person has already joked in the diary that you and your sister might beco his harem. How can you have no reaction at all?

Is this boy, Miyauchi Hikage, really that charming?

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed helplessly.

But thinking of her own request, she could only continue speaking to Shiina Mashiro.

"About the manga debut, do you need my help? I happen to know a few manga editors with good reputations in the industry. I should be able to help quite a bit."

Hearing this topic, Shiina Mashiro's attention finally beca much more focused.

However, after hearing her out, she still shook her head slightly and softly indicated that Miyauchi Hikage had already arranged things for her and she didn't need any more help.

Seeing Shiina Mashiro being so unreceptive, with every other sentence being about Miyauchi Hikage, Kasumigaoka Utaha also felt a bit of a headache.

But she cursed the Mysterious Person in her heart, muttering that this was all the Mysterious Person's fault, and steeled herself to tell Shiina Mashiro about the request she had received.

"I know this request is most likely sothing the Mysterious Person ca up with to create a conflict between us, but it's precisely to avoid such a thing from happening that I took the initiative to co and ask for your opinion."

"If you're not willing, I'll reject this request right now."
