Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Who Pulled My House's Circuit Breaker?

Regarding the matter of Puberty Syndrome, because the name itself didn't reveal anything, it was difficult to associate it with supernatural powers under normal circumstances.

On the other hand, the matter of Sakurajima Mai having puberty problems itself was clearly a more topical issue.

Speaking of Sakurajima Mai, she was indeed a national-level actress.

She debuted as a child star at the age of six in a hit TV drama, and then spent ten years in the entertainment industry. At least more than half of the Japanese population had seen her works or commercials on TV.

This level of fame was something that Hoshino Ai, who was currently just a third-rate little idol, wouldn't even dare to dream of.

If she could continue on this path, Sakurajima Mai's acting career was clearly bright.

However, what the girls in the group were a little concerned about was her sudden announcement last year that she was going to stop her acting work.

At that time, this matter had even trended, so many of the girls in the group still had some impression of it.

Umaru was the first to look up information about Sakurajima Mai's situation in the past year.

In the past year, Sakurajima Mai had actually still been working.

After all, with her previous level of popularity, she would basically have booked her work for the next few years in advance.

According to what was found online, Sakurajima Mai should have spent half a year after announcing her hiatus to complete the contracts she had signed before.

But even after finishing her work ahead of schedule, she still had to attend promotional events for her works from time to time. One could say that she hadn't been idle for the entire year.

It was estimated that she would only be able to completely relax after all the works she had filmed over the years had been released.

The mysterious person had not met Sakurajima Mai on his trip to Kanagawa this time. Judging from the date, she should have been promoting a new movie of hers that was about to be released at that time.

After learning about the workload of this big star, Sakurajima Mai, the girls in the chat group couldn't help but be a little speechless.

Umaru even directly stated that she could understand why Sakurajima Mai would have that Puberty Syndrome.

She was already very tired from disguising her image at school on a normal day, while Sakurajima Mai had been exposed to the spotlight since the age of six, having to show her best side in front of people.

Thinking of this, Umaru felt that she could not accept such a life at all.

For a 16 or 17-year-old girl like Sakurajima Mai to be tired of this life and even develop some adolescent psychological problems because of it seemed very reasonable.

For this, Umaru even specially asked Hoshino Ai, who had also been an idol for several years, if she was tired now.

Hoshino Ai also gave a very frank response.

Ai: "We're still just a small idol group now. Besides performing at the theater at night, it's hard to get other work. Basically, our usual time is spent practicing. I'm actually thinking it would be nice if we could have a little more work."

Ai: "Unlike actors, the shelf life of us idols is very short. If we can't make a name for ourselves before we turn twenty, we'll basically just be eliminated. So we don't even have the right to consider whether we're tired or not right now."

When she chose to become an idol, Hoshino Ai knew that the shelf life of an idol was very short, so she wished that she could have more work now to get her name out there.

If it were before she obtained the diary, she might have had some rebellious thoughts.

But now, after seeing her original future, Hoshino Ai had already thrown away all the messy thoughts in her head.

To become the world's number one idol was her only thought at the moment.

As for whether she was tired or not, she would talk about it after she had reached a status like Sakurajima Mai's.

On the other hand, following the topic of Sakurajima Mai, the girls in the chat group, as they talked, once again shifted to the number of diary holders.

From the current looks of it, it was still uncertain whether Sakurajima Mai possessed a diary, but she had not yet appeared in the group, which meant that the probability of her having a diary was not too high.

After all, a situation like Yotsuya Miko's was an extremely small probability.

Today, the total number of people in the Diary Interest Group's chat had not exceeded twenty, and it had been a while since anyone had joined.

There should also be some people who had a diary but had not joined the group chat, just like that girl in the Black Organization who hadn't joined. But this should also be a minority.

According to Shinomiya Kaguya's estimation, the number of girls who currently had a diary should be around twenty.

But it was very clear that the number of works and characters that had been integrated into their world was far more than this number. Among them, there should be many female protagonists from works who did not have a diary.

For example, the other detective, Shionji Yūko, who was mentioned along with Mouri Kogoro in the mysterious person's first day's diary. Now everyone in the group knew that the name she used as a detective was Alice, and also knew that she was a master hacker who used a computer to solve cases.

But after some simple probing, it could be confirmed that she was not a diary holder.

Later on, there were many other girls who had been mentioned by the mysterious person but were most likely not diary holders.

Like the Cat's Eye trio, the school idol group from Otonokizaka, and Kasumigaoka Utaha's "angsty" senpais. None of them had joined the group chat at the moment.

Kaguya-sama's side had also been keeping an eye on these characters mentioned by the mysterious person, to confirm whether they had a diary, and at the same time, she also wanted to use these girls to judge why they had been chosen by the diary.

It was just a pity that this question was more elusive than the mysterious person's identity. Kaguya-sama had no clue so far.

"I was originally thinking that the diary might be distributed according to fame or some other condition, but this Sakurajima Mai, from her identity, appearance, and fame, seems very suitable to receive a diary."

Shinomiya Kaguya shook her head, feeling that there was no solution to this problem for the time being, and did not continue to think about it.

The existence of the diary involved an unknown god. Even if the identities of the people who now had the diary had basically been confirmed.

But who knew if that god would continue to distribute diaries in the future?

She should just properly consider how to communicate with her father when she went back this weekend.

As for the matter of Sakurajima Mai, she would just find a chance to probe her then.

But at this moment, Kuroneko, who had originally gone offline to model her VTuber avatar, suddenly started to complain in the chat group again.

Fallen Holy Black Cat: "I don't know who's pulling my house's circuit breaker in the middle of the night. I had just been drawing for five minutes, and before I could even save, the power suddenly went out."

Before the girls in the chat group could even offer their comfort, Kuroneko's message appeared again.

Fallen Holy Black Cat: "What the hell? I just pulled the circuit breaker back, and I had only walked back for half a minute, and the circuit breaker tripped again!"
