After exchanging greetings, Tohru's gaze fell on Shinomiya Kaguya.
She had heard Miyauchi Hikage talk about this woman last night. She seemed to be the descendant of a very wealthy family in the country under their feet, and also had a connection with a certain supernatural force in this world, but her strength was not much.
To put it bluntly, in her world, Shinomiya Kaguya's strength was probably just a bit stronger than those novice adventurers.
An experienced adventurer would be stronger than Shinomiya Kaguya.
After all, the top human powerhouses in her world truly had the strength to slay gods and dragons, so they naturally wouldn't think much of Shinomiya Kaguya's strength.
What really made her remember this woman was that she had some connection with Honma Meiko and another woman Miyauchi Hikage met in Tokyo.
It seemed that they were all practicing the same special breathing method, including Miyauchi Hikage who was also practicing this breathing method.
With her eyesight, she could naturally see the general use of these breathing methods.
If the concentration of spiritual power in this world could continue to increase, maintaining the practice of this breathing method could greatly improve a person's vitality and physical fitness. The special power born from breathing could also be attached to other items to produce different effects.
Although she didn't have much contact, she could also see that this should be a cultivation method with no threshold. Honma Meiko, with that kind of body, could practice it, and this delicate girl like a princess before her was also practicing it.
And judging from the intensity displayed by Miyauchi Hikage, this thing still had a certain upper limit.
Although it was only for a moment, when Miyauchi Hikage drew the sword, a powerful life force was indeed transmitted into her body through the holy sword at that moment.
At that time, Tohru was actually a little surprised. After all, humans shouldn't have such a powerful life force.
In her world, even the brave who slayed dragons, as long as they were human, had to follow the laws of nature. No matter how powerful a human was, their lifespan was no more than a hundred years.
But the vitality in Miyauchi Hikage's body was so vigorous that she almost mistook this human for a long-lived species like her.
It was just that although that breathing method had no threshold, it still depended on individual talent. The strength of Honma Meiko and this Shinomiya Kaguya before her was far worse than Miyauchi Hikage's.
However, Honma Meiko had been taken as a disciple by a special-grade supernatural being in this world, so she probably didn't need to worry too much about her.
Anyway, in a few days, after the problem with her body was solved, she would be able to see her. If what she practiced was too low-end, she could also find a way to go back to the other world and get some good things from her world for Meiko to try.
As for the Shinomiya Kaguya before her, she just glanced at her and didn't take her to heart.
Apart from Miyauchi Hikage and Honma Meiko, the two humans who saved her, she didn't have much affection for the humans in this world yet.
Filming videos was just to learn more about this world, and to understand what Miyauchi Hikage, whose eyes were full of light when talking about these things, was thinking.
Today, she stayed in the studio all day with Miyauchi Hikage's two "paramours" (Kagayama Kaede and Fujimiya Konomi), and had a rough understanding of the entire video production process.
Looking at the production of those videos and the filming of TV series, Tohru admitted that she was indeed a little interested.
After all, ever since she learned the transformation magic, she had been mingling in the human world, and she herself had no interest in humans.
Her biggest hobby had always been those new gadgets created by humans using their hands.
So now that she had no other obsessions after coming to this world, following Miyauchi Hikage to experience this new thing, and by the way earning some money for her expenses in this world, was no problem.
Although the sum of money Miyauchi Hikage "lent" her, according to her understanding of this world, was enough for her to live in this world for several months, there were still many things she wanted to buy online that required money. It was still very important to start making money in this world as soon as possible.
After all, no matter what, she had promised Miyauchi Hikage before coming to this world that she would not expose her strength in this world at will and bring trouble to Miyauchi Hikage and Honma Meiko.
As a dragon who kept her promises and also understood humans well enough, she had long decided to make money in this world using ordinary human methods.
So, after sensing Miyauchi Hikage's aura, she ran out to ask him what kind of video he wanted her to film.
And on Shinomiya Kaguya's side, seeing Tohru's gaze just casually scan over her and then retract to focus on Miyauchi Hikage, Shinomiya Kaguya still felt a little regretful in her heart.
Sure enough, she didn't have that much charm to make the other party develop a good impression of her at first sight.
However, she could also take this opportunity to secretly size up this dragon girl from another world.
She looked to be about 20 years old. Needless to say about her exquisite appearance, everyone was a major character in their respective works, and there were few who weren't good-looking. Even if she was dressed very casually, she was still very beautiful.
Just like Miyauchi Hikage's sisters, and the two girls in Asahigaoka Media who obviously had feelings for Miyauchi Hikage, even without makeup, they were all above the standard of beautiful girls.
However, unlike the mysterious person's description in the diary, Tohru looked quite normal, completely different from the yuri dragon girl in the diary who threw herself at her savior immediately after being saved.
When facing Miyauchi Hikage, her savior, although she wasn't very enthusiastic, looking at them, they should be considered friends.
Did this female protagonist's personality also change after Miyauchi Hikage and the others changed the plot?
She wondered what her reaction would be when facing Meiko.
Shinomiya Kaguya slightly increased her suspicion of Tohru.
After all, the girls in their chat group, because of the diary, had indeed changed a lot in personality compared to "themselves" in their respective stories over the past month.
She could no longer become that love-brained girl, and Yotsuya Miko was no longer the girl who trembled at the sight of ghosts.
Even Takanashi Rikka and Gokou Ruri, the two chunibyo girls, had become much more normal.
Kasumigaoka Utaha had even turned into a grumpy sister, inciting emotions in the group every day.
If a giant dragon like Tohru obtained a diary, her personality might indeed change in a short time.
So she decisively took out the diary and tested Tohru's reaction on the side.
But Tohru had no reaction at all.
Her perception ability was actually not very strong, not to mention that she had sealed her ability. Except for Miyauchi Hikage, whose aura was constantly rising, she could identify ordinary supernatural beings, but not that fast.
Now she only sensed a special power from Honma Meiko in her dragon form. Besides that, only Gojo Satoru, who possessed the Six Eyes and was particularly sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations, could detect those subtle power fluctuations.
But that was limited to the diary copies held by those girls, and they couldn't detect the existence of the diary, only sensing some movement when the diary exerted its power.
Miyauchi Hikage's diary, apart from that unknown mental protection, basically only had some movement when distributing rewards. Under multiple disguises, even Gojo Satoru and Tohru couldn't completely see through his disguise.
Moreover, Miyauchi Hikage was now a supernatural being. Even if some abnormal ability fluctuations were detected, he could just blame it on his supernatural ability.
Seeing Tohru's complete lack of reaction to her taking out the diary, Shinomiya Kaguya stepped forward again.
"Hikage, are you looking for suitable video material for Miss Tohru?"
Miyauchi Hikage nodded. "I have a lot of ideas at the moment, but they may not be able to fully bring out Miss Tohru's advantages, so I still need to think about what kind of persona to create for Miss Tohru."
He briefly told Shinomiya Kaguya about his current ideas. Given Tohru's conditions, if she were to become a beauty blogger or a cosplayer who sold her looks, it would indeed be easy to make money, but even if she didn't care, Miyauchi Hikage wouldn't go so far as to make her do these things.
Tohru herself had no interest in games, and the kind of travel blogger who slept in the open wasn't suitable either.
All in all, the female big eater market was more suitable for Tohru.
Although big eaters in Japan were almost becoming mass-produced assembly line products, Tohru had an advantage.
Other female big eaters had to induce vomiting, take medicine, and edit videos, but for Tohru, whose true form was a giant dragon, if she wanted to eat freely, one person's food intake could top dozens of adult men.
And Tohru ate fast and elegantly. This point alone could crush those peers.
However, the persona of a big eater still needed to be considered, such as what to eat, how to eat, and where to eat. These were all questions.
Shinomiya Kaguya hadn't been exposed to these things, but she was a little interested listening to Miyauchi Hikage's explanation.
Having a girl transformed from a giant dragon disguise herself as a big eater, Miyauchi Hikage really knew how to cheat.
But thinking about what the mysterious person wrote in the diary, that Tohru would choose to become the female protagonist's dragon maid after coming to this world.
Her gaze fell on Tohru, and she tentatively said, "I think Miss Tohru might suit a maid outfit very well. Have you ever tried it, Miss Tohru?"
Miyauchi Hikage nodded as if he didn't know anything. "It should indeed suit her very well. We can try it in the future."
But Tohru seemed to remember something.
She had once encountered a special girl in a destroyed village.
That girl was a thief, but she showed no fear when facing her, a giant dragon. Even when she showed an attitude of wanting to kill her, the girl acted indifferently.
It seemed that because all of the girl's thief accomplices were dead and she was still being pursued, it wouldn't be bad to die at the hands of a dragon.
Out of curiosity, she asked the girl what she wanted to do if she gained freedom.
The result was a strange answer.
She wanted to become a maid, put on a cute maid outfit, and fall in love with her master.
And she also said in a tone that Tohru couldn't understand, "This is also the freedom I chose for myself."
She had actually only spent less than an hour with that girl, and had refused her request to give her a ride, but for some reason, that girl's words still left a lot of traces in her heart.
She wondered if that girl had fulfilled her wish and become a maid who fell in love with her master?
Tohru thought so, but just glanced at Miyauchi Hikage in front of her.
Forget about asking her to become this man's maid. She had no romantic feelings for this man at all, and had never thought about the scene of herself wearing a maid outfit and falling in love with him.
Even though Miyauchi Hikage had explained the identities of the women around him and shown a career ambition worthy of Tohru's attention, thinking about it carefully today, Miyauchi Hikage was indeed still a scumbag who didn't know how to reject women.
It was better for her and Miyauchi Hikage to maintain this normal relationship that was neither close nor distant.
"Forget about the maid outfit. I won't wear those clothes to please the audience. Just film normally." Influenced by that girl, although Tohru cared a little about the identity of a maid, she would only wear a maid outfit for the person she loved.
Anyway, that person couldn't be Miyauchi Hikage.
As for Honma Meiko... Tohru thought for a while. It seemed she didn't have that kind of feeling for her either. It was more pity and gratitude. She could still distinguish these emotions.
Although Miyauchi Hikage felt a little regretful that he couldn't see Tohru's classic maid look, he wasn't surprised.
The reason she became a maid was partly because Kobayashi had a maid fetish, and partly because the thief girl she met in the other world wanted to become a maid.
The latter was just a trigger, leaving the idea of becoming the maid of a loved one in Tohru's mind. The former was the main reason.
And Shinomiya Kaguya was also distinguishing Tohru's reaction.
Her reaction to the maid outfit wasn't big. Was it because she didn't have a diary, or did the mysterious person not mention Tohru in the second batch?
She continued to offer suggestions to Miyauchi Hikage, "If you really want to film food videos, Hikage, whether for filming or collecting ingredients, taking Miss Tohru to Tokyo would be a better choice, right?"
Although there were many crops in Asahigaoka, someone was already making countryside food videos in Asahigaoka. Letting Tohru stay here would just be internal competition.
Miyauchi Hikage, who had already planned to abduct Tohru to Tokyo, also nodded.
Very good. Shinomiya Kaguya was indeed a good mouthpiece for him. Whether it was the maid outfit or going to Tokyo, these were words he wanted to say but didn't because he knew Tohru disliked him.
His large Western-style house in Beika Town had only been inhabited by him so far. Apart from Hikari and Mashiro's rooms, and Jerry who was about to go undercover among the youkai, usually only a cleaning company would come to clean his house once a week.
Letting Tohru move in was naturally no problem.
