Chapter 51 - Chapter 50

Then, Jerry nodded as a matter of course, made an OK gesture, and puffed out his chest towards Yukino.

It was as if he was saying that he could teach Yukino Yukinoshita a breathing method to nourish her flat chest and promote its development.

Watching this action, Yukino couldn't help but clench her fists.

She really wanted to tell Jerry that she wasn't here for that!

She wanted to see how far her Ripple Breathing had progressed and how big the gap was between her and Jerry, who was called a genius by the Mysterious Person.

But reason told her that even though she didn't care about this matter, at this moment, it was best for her to follow Jerry's lead to avoid being teased further.

Therefore, after a quick change of expression, Yukino humbly asked Jerry for guidance.

Jerry, seeing Yukino's cooperation, nodded with satisfaction.

While eating the exquisite pastries that Yukino had brought, he waved to her.

This was to have Yukino use Ripple on him, seemingly wanting to see how far Yukino's Ripple cultivation had progressed.

Before Ruri Gokō could even speak to warn her, Yukino was taken down with one hand by Jerry, who was still eating pastries.

The entire process was uneventful, and Yukino, who was somewhat disheveled and sprawled on the tatami, didn't even know how Jerry had taken her down.

She only felt that she had just made contact with Jerry, and his Ripple completely suppressed her, making her body unable to obey her own control.

Ruri walked over and helped Yukino up.

"You'll get used to it. Master Uncle Jerry's Ripple is much stronger than ours. This is the only outcome when fighting him."

Ruri displayed the results of her studies with Jerry over the past few days.

Even with the Ripple's accelerated recovery effect, she still had many bruises on her body that hadn't completely faded.

"Because Master Uncle Jerry doesn't speak and doesn't like to write too many words at once, to learn Ripple from him, you can only feel it this way."

"As long as you can feel the fluctuations of those Ripples and adjust your breathing to the corresponding rhythm, you can regain control of your body."

"You can also wait 10 minutes. After Master Uncle Jerry's Ripple effect dissipates, you can also regain control of your body, but then you will have wasted an opportunity to learn."

Regarding this, while Ruri was somewhat helpless, she continued to seek out Jerry for lessons with great enthusiasm because she could feel a clear improvement in her proficiency with Ripple.

It really is a very intuitive way of assisting.

Upon careful observation, Yukino could indeed feel that the Ripple within her body seemed to have become much more active.

It only lasts for ten minutes...

Yukino didn't waste any time, closing her eyes and concentrating more intently on feeling the Ripple within her body.

However, a new breathing rhythm is clearly not something that can be mastered so quickly.

A few minutes later, Yukino, who gradually felt herself regaining control of her body but had found no breakthrough, opened her eyes and looked at Jerry again, seemingly wanting him to do it one more time.

However, Jerry held up two toes, signaling Ruri to explain to Yukino.

"Master Uncle Jerry means that he is very satisfied with the pastries you brought, so you can receive his guidance twice more. If you still haven't mastered the breathing rhythm after using these few guidances, you will need to complete the task Master Uncle Jerry has set for you."

When it came to this task, Ruri felt a headache coming on again.

Actually, most of these tasks are quite easy to complete.

For example, if Jerry wants to eat something in the evening, you just buy him a portion or make one yourself.

There are also tasks involving outdoor physical exercise according to Jerry's requirements. Although her stamina has always been poor, with the help of Ripple Breathing, she can still complete these tasks before reaching her limit.

It's just that occasionally some tasks can be a bit embarrassing.

For instance, having Miyauchi Kazuho read aloud the self-indulgent novels she had written before, in front of her and Tama-chan, and after listening, she had to ask her two younger sisters for their reactions and also write a review of her own novels.

If it had been before, she wouldn't have found it so embarrassing.

But after truly cultivating Ripple Breathing and coming into contact with the real 'Underworld,' looking back at her self-indulgent chūnibyō works now felt completely like her dark past.

It must be said that in terms of chūnibyō, her level of obsession was indeed far inferior to that of Takanashi Rikka (Evil Eye of the Wicked Lord).

Who knows what kind of task Jerry will come up with for Yukino, who seems like such a cold and aloof "well-bred young lady"?

Regarding this, Ruri couldn't help but feel a little anticipation.

After all, as long as these things don't happen to her, they are indeed quite amusing.

"As for Yukino Yukinoshita, besides her flat chest and honor student attributes, in terms of personality, simply put, she's a tsundere with a touch of 'distortion'."

"She and Black Cat both belong to the type of girls with strong self-esteem, but their family backgrounds are different. Black Cat, as the eldest daughter, has taken on a lot of responsibilities since childhood, and chūnibyō is more like a way for her to relieve the pressure of her life."

"Yukino, on the other hand, is the second daughter in her family, and due to her family circumstances, she has been constantly reminded by those around her how excellent her older sister is since childhood."

"She wants to prove that she is better than her sister, but her inner self-esteem feels that she should not be compared to others."

"So, growing up in such an environment, the choice she made was to pursue the perfection in her heart as much as possible, forcing herself not to make mistakes, but then the excessive pursuit of perfection brought her immense pressure, gradually forming a vicious cycle."

"Although she now possesses the diary, the external force generated by the diary's appearance should have given her more breathing room, but her inherent personality should not have changed much... No, perhaps after acquiring the diary, she might become even more obsessed with the concept of absolute perfection."

"But where in this world is there a truly flawless human? Even the deity who created this diary, didn't he also have a malicious pleasure in watching the fun by throwing you and me into this world?"

"So if you have the opportunity to meet her, let her come into contact with the things she fears in her heart more often, to make her realize that she herself is inherently imperfect."

This was Renji Miyauchi's instruction to Jerry regarding Yukino's personality before sending Jerry to the Gokō family.

Recalling Renji's instructions, Jerry stroked his chin.

The Yukino in front of him likes cats, is not good at dealing with dogs, has a bad sense of direction, and dislikes crowded places.

Why do so many people like cats?

Yukino is like this, and Black Cat is like this too.

Black Cat's family keeps a black cat named Kuro, but after his careful guidance, it has now become his most loyal subordinate.

Jerry couldn't help but recall the world he was in before.

That Tom didn't look cute at all; in comparison, Spike and his family were much more amiable towards him, weren't they?

Jerry, who considers himself a dog person, felt that he must make these people understand the cuteness of dogs.

Alright, later he'll have Yukino ask an old lady nearby who owns a dog to take her dog out for a walk in a crowded place.

Jerry clapped his hands, making this decision.

...

While Yukino was worrying about the task Jerry was about to give her, Kasumigaoka Utaha was preparing for her autograph session and greeting the girls who had come looking for the Mysterious Person's whereabouts.

What was Renji Miyauchi doing then?

He had stayed up late playing games last night, so he was still sleeping at home.

It wasn't until 11 AM that a strange phone call made him get out of bed.

As soon as he answered the phone, Renji woke up.

It's you, Hagiwara Masato, who, after voicing Itō Kaiji and Akagi Shigeru, thought he was a gambling god and then went to participate in professional mahjong competitions and got thoroughly crushed.

No, I got them mixed up.

Although Itō Kaiji and Akagi Shigeru are both works by the same manga artist, and both protagonists share the same voice actor, their treatments are worlds apart.

Kaiji's life is a drama of ups and downs. In the plot, Kaiji always falls to rock bottom first, then grits his teeth to rise from the bottom to the peak, only for everything to turn to nothing again.

The latter, however, was invincible from the moment he appeared, dominating the mahjong world for decades without a single loss. Even when he lost in old age, there were always various reasons, which only further highlighted his coolness. Even his eventual passing was due to choosing to end his own life after developing Alzheimer's, which could be considered a rather dashing life.

However, the Akagi Shigeru of this world seems to have passed away many years ago, so the one Renji had on the phone could only be Itō Kaiji, whom he had just met yesterday.

It's unknown why Kaiji's storyline has only just begun.

Or is this some unknown grand world will at play again?

Muttering to himself, Renji exchanged pleasantries with Kaiji on the other end of the phone.

Indeed, after researching Asahigaoka Media online and seeing the plethora of abstract videos, Kaiji, who had just turned adult this year (the age of adulthood in Japan is 20), felt his worldview greatly impacted.

Watching those videos that were clearly devoid of substance yet consistently garnered extremely high viewership, Kaiji suffered from insomnia for a long time.

It wasn't until he woke up this morning, convinced that he could definitely do this job, that the first thing Kaiji did was call Renji, hoping the other party could give him a chance to try.

"Very good, full of spirit," Renji nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Kaiji, this workhorse, was finally going to be brought under his wing.

He immediately invited the other party out for a meal to discuss video filming in detail, and after finishing this call, he then, for the first time in a while, called Kagayama Kaede, who was now the true big boss of Asahigaoka Media.

"I say, you, you've been in Tokyo for almost half a month, and you finally bothered to call me?"

As soon as the call connected, Renji heard Kaede's complaint.

"My bad, I've had a lot of things to deal with in Tokyo recently. I'll definitely pay more attention to your situation there in the future."

Renji and Kaede had known each other for over ten years, so after listening to the other party complain for a few moments, Renji expressed his thoughts to her.

"You want to film supernatural videos in Tokyo?"

As soon as she heard Renji's idea, Kaede became a little nervous.

In Japan, a place known for its eight million gods, doing such things always gives one a sense of unease.

"Let's try filming first. Even if we can't make supernatural videos, finding places where incidents have occurred and doing some case analysis and legal education videos will definitely attract viewers. There's a lot to film here in Tokyo," Renji said, then asked Kaede to send over a labor contract.

The request was to extend the term to 10 years and slightly increase the liquidated damages.

Of course, Renji would naturally not shortchange the other party on salary and commission.

As long as that Kaiji doesn't spend all his salary on pachinko, saving one or two million yen a year for normal expenses would definitely not be a problem.

Akihabara.

Renji Miyauchi, with practiced ease, walked into the maid café he had visited last time. Renji found a seat near the window and waited for Itō Kaiji and Sakakibara Kōichi to arrive.

It must be said, if Renji could own a street in the prime real estate of central Tokyo, he probably wouldn't have any desire to work hard for the rest of his life.

Wouldn't it be great to be a landlord who just eats and waits to die?

Work?

Work my ass!

But it must be said that there are indeed differences in people's ways of thinking.

Just like the adorable maid named Faris NyanNyan (Phyllis NyanNyan) who immediately came over to greet him after he entered the café, and even remembered when he had last visited this café.

Looking at her professional competence, who would have thought that the entire Akihabara was her Akiba family's property, and even the otaku culture prevalent in Akihabara today was introduced by her?

Renji had thought about coming here more often before to make himself known to her, and also to find an opportunity to meet the main characters from Steins;Gate.

However, his choice to meet here today wasn't just for that reason.

He turned his gaze to a tall building not far outside the window.

That was Akihabara's Radio Kaikan, a comprehensive commercial complex.

And Kasumigaoka Utaha was currently holding her first autograph session in her life in that building. For a newly debuted author, this treatment was already quite extraordinary.

However, upon closer thought, it wasn't surprising; after all, Utaha's beauty was undeniable; she could even debut as an idol on the spot without any problems.

And such a beautiful high school girl had also written a romance novel of considerable quality. This alone was enough for her publishing house to heavily promote her, focusing on Utaha herself.

Holding the autograph session in Akihabara was actually targeting the otaku market behind it.

And it was here that Utaha and her number one fan, Aki Tomoya, first met at the autograph session, and the gears of fate began to turn from this point.

However, that was already in the past.

After acquiring the diary, Utaha could be said to be the girl among all who understood her future story the most.

Perhaps Tomoya was indeed a capable person, but Utaha clearly would no longer develop other feelings for him just because he was her first fan.

Maintaining a friendly relationship between author and reader is Utaha's current mindset.

So, when she saw Tomoya, still like in the original work, being the first reader to arrive at the venue and start queuing for this autograph session, Utaha felt a complicated mix of emotions, but she still seriously discussed the future plot development of her work with him.

However, during this process, she was more concerned about whether the Mysterious Person had come to her autograph session today.
