Cherreads

Chapter 48 - Chapter 47

Renji Miyauchi received imperial treatment at Ruri Gokō's home, and he had no doubt this luxurious treatment would continue to improve over the next few days.

After all, the weekend was fast approaching. Besides a few girls with diaries who might choose to go to Kasumigaoka Utaha's fan signing event to corner him, countless other girls definitely wanted to seek a breakthrough with Renji.

"New faces beat out the old ones, huh?" Renji Miyauchi, upon waking up the next day, sensed the number of times various girls had mentioned him the previous night and couldn't help but muse.

"But tomorrow is the weekend again, and I can't keep staying home doing research. It's time to find some people to film videos with."

Renji hadn't filmed any of his usual videos for over half a month, and he genuinely missed his days as the "Mountain King" in Asahigaoka.

He even occasionally dreamed of those scenes.

After all, strictly speaking, writing a diary was work; filming videos was life.

"It's just that the planned shop-exploring videos are a tough sell. Even if I were to film them, I'd have to let Kazuhoa handle it. I've already contacted people from Enden, but I don't know if Kazuho is reliable…"

Because of his Pure Yang Body, Renji Miyauchi knew his special physique would eventually be discovered, so he had already begun to slowly design a new public persona for himself.

Continuing to film such ordinary videos would obviously interfere with this new image.

"So, for the weekend tomorrow, I'll just film some videos related to urban legends."

Before he transmigrated, he had indeed watched many supernatural streamers whose selling point was "haunted location exploration," but for some well-known reasons, most of them eventually had their accounts banned.

However, in Japan, there clearly weren't so many restrictions.

The only thing he needed to be cautious of was that the supernatural streamers from his previous life were all about creating show effects, whereas in this world, he could genuinely encounter strange things.

But Renji Miyauchi glanced at himself.

What kind of appeal would there be if he filmed such videos?

"Folks, this place is completely safe. All so-called supernatural events are fake, so everyone must believe in science." Would it turn into a debunking popular science video?

Indeed, he still needed to find a few hardworking individuals who would tirelessly create some show effects, and then he would appear at the crucial moment to save the day.

But where could he find suitable laborers?

Renji Miyauchi flipped through his notes, selecting suitable candidates from the works that existed in this world, but after a thorough search, he didn't find many good options.

He couldn't possibly drag Satō Kazuma, who hadn't yet transmigrated to another world, over, could he?

That guy would certainly provide enough show effects, but if he were to encounter some ghost and be scared to death on the spot, the person filming would be responsible.

He had to find a laborer with strong psychological endurance.

"Forget it, I'm not in a rush anyway. I can try to find Sakakibara Kōichi first and give him some intensity in Tokyo before he transfers to Yomiyama North and confronts the 'dead'."

Renji Miyauchi muttered softly, already placing Kōichi in the position of a "victim."

And before school ended that day, he found Kōichi and expressed his idea.

Sakakibara Kōichi did not refuse.

After all, Renji seemed like a nice person, and he was one of his only friends in that class.

Plus, he had nothing planned for the weekend, so after a moment's thought, he agreed.

He remembered that when Renji first enrolled, he had told the entire class that he wanted to make a movie like The Shining.

Kōichi also wanted to see how capable Renji Miyauchi really was to dare say such a thing.

And this would become his second completely wrong choice after entering high school, following his self-introduction on the first day of school where he told the entire class that he liked horror movies.

After school, Renji Miyauchi also called Kazuho whom he hadn't contacted much for a week, asking if she wanted to come over for dinner that night and, incidentally, asking her thoughts on filming videos.

However, what surprised Renji was that kazuho, who usually couldn't resist a good meal, seemed a bit hesitant at this moment.

"Do you have something on tonight?"

"Ah, because Mahiru, that super beautiful girl who lives next door to me, her cousin who has been living in London is returning to Japan today."

"Mahiru said she wants to make a lavish welcome dinner for her cousin, so she asked me to help her pick up her cousin. I guess we'll be eating at Mahiru's house tonight."

What Miyauchi Kōka said on the other end of the phone made Renji Miyauchi momentarily stunned.

London.

Cousin.

It turned out that his casual guess that Shiina Mahiru and Shiina Mashiro, both sharing the same surname and both being blonde, might have some distant family connection.

He hadn't expected this to actually come true, and now Mashiro was going to live in Mahiru's house.

Does that mean all people named Takanashi in this world are also related by blood?

Renji Miyauchi shook his head.

In any case, it seemed that both the Sakura Dormitory and The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten plots had completely collapsed.

The pet girl who was supposed to live in Sakura Dormitory was now living with her "angel" cousin.

And his sister,Kazuho because she occupied the original protagonist's room, was now probably holding the script of the original protagonist?

In just two weeks, they were already on first-name terms and had agreed to pick someone up together. It seemed his sister and Shiina Mahiru's relationship had become very good.

So, two school romance anime were going to be forcibly transformed into a brand new light yuri comedy by his tomboyish sister Kazuho

Amazing, my big sister Kazuho

Muttering this to himself, Renji Miyauchi said no more, only reminding his sister not to always trouble Shiina Mahiru and to help take care of her cousin more in the future.

He did not get involved.

After all, Shiina Mahiru plus Shiina Mashiro, both heroines, had the possibility of being chosen by the diary, so he would let his sister explore the way for him first.

After hanging up the phone, Miyauchi Kazuho rubbed her chin, only feeling that her brother's words sounded strange.

She did feel bad about always troubling Mahiru, but why did he want her to take care of Mahiru's cousin?

However, she wasn't someone who liked to overthink things, so after scratching her head and not understanding, she simply stopped thinking about it.

Happily bidding farewell to a few good friends in her class, Miyauchi Kōka then sent a message to Shiina Mahiru, saying that she was now setting off for the station.

Miyauchi Kazuho had no idea how much color Shiina Mashiro, whom she was about to meet, would add to her future high school life.

Renji Miyauchi was already prepared to go to his second sister's place more often in the future to get a closer look at the drama.

And since Kazuho couldn't come tonight, Renji naturally didn't bother going home to cook.

He would just find a restaurant and eat casually; after dinner, he could also scout a location for filming tomorrow.

In fact, Mihana Town was a good place.

After all, in the small Mihana Town, there was no shortage of various murderers and crime scenes.

Just find a place where a murder once occurred, briefly introduce the case to the audience, then mysteriously talk about the recent ghost rumors in that place, and finally go inside to explore—that would pretty much do it.

He remembered that not far from his home, there was an old, dilapidated Western-style house that the Junior Detective League had used as a haunted house for exploration, and they ended up encountering a case inside the haunted house.

This was actually a pretty suitable beginning.

Exploring a mysterious haunted house in Mihana Town where a cold case had occurred years ago, now desolate and abandoned.

Then, during the exploration of the haunted house, they discover traces of someone having lived there, and then little by little, they search for the secrets within the haunted house.

Finally, everything comes to light: it turns out that the true culprit of that murder from years ago was imprisoned in this haunted house, and the reason he was confined there was—

Renji Miyauchi, who had been filming popular skits for several years, still had some intuition in this regard.

If he could really film it like that, the click-through rate would probably skyrocket instantly.

But unfortunately, after some investigation, he found that this case had been solved last month and had even been featured on the morning news the next day.

If, before Renji Miyauchi arrived, many specters and vengeful spirits might have resided there, but with Renji moving into Mihana Town with his Pure Yang Body, that Western-style house was now just an abandoned, uninhabited empty dwelling.

With Sakakibara Kōichi's relatively reserved personality, it seemed he wouldn't be able to film anything particularly effective.

Renji Miyauchi muttered this to himself, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Slowly, slowly.

He could start by exploring places where Conan had encountered murder cases, gradually revealing to people Mihana Town, the area with the highest crime rate in Tokyo, and then slowly shift to urban legends.

With the experience of those successful supernatural YouTubers from his previous life, at most, it would just take a little more time in the early stages.

Thinking this, Renji Miyauchi, who had finished dinner and was preparing to detour to that Western-style house for an inspection before returning to complete today's diary, heard a plea in the alley.

"Kaiji-senpai, please help me! I really desperately need money right now. All you have to do is be my guarantor and sign a paper. I absolutely won't cause you any trouble!"

Immediately, Renji, who was about to walk out of the alley, stopped in his tracks and turned his gaze to the source of the sound.

It looked like the back door of a convenience store.

Two men in store uniforms were chatting there. One young man, with an honest-looking face, accompanied his words with a perfectly standard 90-degree bow.

In front of him, another young man, who looked a bit unkempt, appeared troubled, but his expression wasn't firm, as if he was about to nod and agree.

However, before he could respond, Renji Miyauchi's prompt came first from the side.

"A guarantor means that if the other party can't repay the money, then you will have to pay it. Before making a decision, it's best to clearly see the numbers on that paper."

Instantly, the young man who was bowing and looked honest had a change in expression.

He straightened up, wanting to see who was going to ruin his good deed.

"You, who's talking to you? Don't you know any manners?!"

Renji Miyauchi scratched his ear and instead took a few more steps closer.

"Are you flustered?"

"Do you need me to help you check this guarantee? I happen to have some experience in this area."

He said this, then looked at the man called "Kaiji."

Why does this Kaiji look like a New World God? (The movie version has the same actor)

After obtaining the diary, Renji Miyauchi could say that he had been constantly battling wits with the heroines of various school and idol anime.

However, among the heroines he had met so far, only Hoshino Ai and Yotsuya Miko had future life-threatening crises; the lives of the other girls were quite normal.

And among the anime male protagonists he had encountered, only Conan had dealt with all sorts of messy murder cases every day, and occasionally had to risk his life in the main story and movie versions.

He didn't expect such a coincidence today; just walking through an alley, he could meet a man who treated risking his life as a daily routine.

Itō Kaiji.

The male protagonist of Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor.

The animated title was Gyakkyō Burai Kaiji.

Just from these two names, one could see this man's personality.

A gambler, a rogue, and only able to unleash his full potential in adversity.

And today could be said to be the day that changed Itō Kaiji's life.

Perhaps nothing was visible now.

If Renji Miyauchi hadn't appeared, after signing this guarantee, he would have forgotten about it.

Until a year later, debt collectors would find him with the IOU, demanding that he repay the usurious loan that had been owed for a year and accumulating interest.

After that, this unsuccessful gambler would be incited by the debt collectors to go to that cruise ship full of desires and sins, officially beginning his legendary and tragic life.

After recalling Itō Kaiji's story, Renji Miyauchi was ready to stop him from signing that guarantee.
