Shinomiya Kaguya was already quite depressed because she had been cheated of 2 reading value points due to Sakurajima Mai today.
Although 2 reading value points were not much for her now, she lost face in the chat group again.
After all, if everyone had their reading value deducted, she would feel more or less comforted.
The problem was that she was the only one who had points deducted. Now everyone in the group was curious about how Sakurajima Mai, the national daughter, awakened this ability, and also curious about why only Shinomiya Kaguya needed to use reading value to restore her memory.
However, this was, after all, her own doing.
After seeing Sakurajima Mai and Puberty Syndrome, a strangely named symptom, in the mysterious person's diary, she not only sent someone to specifically investigate Sakurajima Mai but even found someone to keep an eye on Sakurajima Mai for a long time.
This led to a too-close relationship between her and Sakurajima Mai. While everyone else had forgotten Sakurajima Mai, other girls only needed a slight stimulation from the diary to restore their memories of her, but only she needed to spend reading value to recover.
But since the 2 reading value points had already been spent, Shinomiya Kaguya naturally had to go and see for herself what was going on with this Sakurajima Mai, and if she could earn back her lost reading value from her.
By the way, she could also chat with Miyauchi Hikage again to see what good things he got from the Cursed Warehouse yesterday.
She had been practicing with the Nichirin Blade projected by Miyauchi Hikage for the past two days.
No matter from what aspect, this sword felt real to her, and there were indeed no problems using it. It was completely indistinguishable from a real Nichirin Blade.
Obviously, judging from Miyauchi Hikage's meaning, this Projection technique should not only be able to project this one thing.
Yesterday, Miyauchi Hikage wandered around the Cursed Warehouse of Jujutsu High for an afternoon, almost treating the Cursed Warehouse as a museum.
With such a long time, and seeing his satisfied look when he walked out of the Cursed Warehouse, he must have obtained many good things.
Even if high-grade Cursed Tools couldn't be projected, being able to project some mid-grade Cursed Tools would greatly improve Miyauchi Hikage's strength.
Actually, she wanted to ask about this yesterday, but it wasn't appropriate to ask at Jujutsu High, and asking on the phone wasn't safe enough.
She originally intended to wait a few days until she had dealt with her own affairs, then find Miyauchi Hikage secretly to ask, and by the way, spend money to get some cheap and good projected Cursed Tools from Miyauchi Hikage for self-defense.
Who knew that today Miyauchi Hikage came out to do a low-level commission and could encounter something like Sakurajima Mai's matter?
Regarding the special spiritual fluctuation in Fujisawa City, actually, when she heard Miyauchi Hikage's invitation yesterday, she subconsciously felt that the name of this place sounded familiar, as if she had come into contact with this place somewhere before.
If Sakurajima Mai's existence hadn't been subconsciously forgotten by her, she should have been able to react immediately with her usual state.
Therefore, Shinomiya Kaguya could only speed up her work, working overtime in the afternoon to deal with important matters first, and then dealing with relatively less urgent matters in the car while rushing over to meet the famous child star Sakurajima Mai to make her presence known.
As a result, as soon as she got out of the car, she heard Sakurajima Mai's words about wanting to book Miyauchi Hikage's time for a week.
Shinomiya Kaguya immediately felt her fist harden a little.
"Hello, Miss Sakurajima Mai, I am Shinomiya Kaguya."
Under Sakurajima Mai's surprised gaze, she shook hands with Sakurajima Mai with a friendly face.
"Can you see me too?"
Sakurajima Mai looked curiously at the young lady of the Shinomiya family in front of her.
In the afternoon, Miyauchi Hikage also stated based on her situation that without deliberate reminders and attention, even a Grade 1 supernatural being might forget her existence.
However, because of the existence of supernatural power, generally, supernatural beings who were slightly more spiritually sensitive only needed a little stimulation under the effect of their own supernatural power to notice her existence again.
"With reminders, given your current ability rampage situation, you can be considered roughly a Grade 2." This was Miyauchi Hikage's evaluation of her ability strength.
Although Sakurajima Mai had erupted with fluctuations close to Grade 1, that was unstable to begin with. Overall, Sakurajima Mai with ability rampage was probably at the Grade 2 level.
It was just that this Grade 2 had no combat power at all and could only be used for hiding.
But this ability would be very strong on an assassin.
Without anyone noticing, suddenly stabbing someone from behind, such a threat level was quite high even in the inner world.
She just didn't know how much control Sakurajima Mai would have over this ability after the ability rampage, and how much room for improvement there would be in the future.
Sakurajima Mai was a little curious now. Since Shinomiya Kaguya could notice her existence directly, didn't that mean her strength was also above Grade 2?
Hearing Sakurajima Mai's inquiry, the expression on Shinomiya Kaguya's face changed slightly, but she soon smiled and shook her head: "I am just a weak woman. I haven't even obtained the lowest level of strength recognition yet, nor have any signs of supernatural awakening appeared on me. I just rely on my family's ability to luckily join Jujutsu High."
She said this while looking at Miyauchi Hikage: "Also in the afternoon, Hikage asked me if I still remembered your affairs, Miss Sakurajima. At that time, I clearly had no impression, but felt a little strange, so I found someone to help me recall your existence, Miss Sakurajima."
"Out of curiosity about your ability, Miss Sakurajima, I came here specifically to check."
Shinomiya Kaguya paused, and then asked Miyauchi Hikage in a somewhat intimate tone: "But Hikage, do you plan to accompany Miss Sakurajima for the next week until she returns to normal?"
Once this sentence was spoken, not to mention Miyauchi Hikage, even Sakurajima Mai could detect a faint sense of resentment.
So, her first reaction was correct. Did this young lady of the Shinomiya family really have any special thoughts about Miyauchi Hikage?
Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, although the most outrageous thing Sakurajima Mai herself did was to shoot a swimsuit photobook, and at other times she had always kept herself clean and had no scandals.
But she could still detect some of these emotions.
After all, actors were supposed to express the emotions they felt in daily life as realistically as possible in front of the camera using performance.
In this regard, Sakurajima Mai was still very talented.
In a sense, she realized that her mother forced her to shoot swimsuit photos she didn't want to in junior high school in the name of "for her own good" and "getting more attention." When she got older, it was very likely that she would be forced to attend some drinking parties she didn't want to attend for the same reasons.
Out of such worries, she made up her mind to break away from her mother's control. Even if she made a comeback in the future, she would not make a comeback in her mother's agency.
In short, feeling the special emotion Shinomiya Kaguya expressed towards Miyauchi Hikage, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but wonder if Shinomiya Kaguya knew that there were so many beautiful girls around Miyauchi Hikage.
Especially that girl named Shiina Mashiro. Her dependence on Miyauchi Hikage and Miyauchi Hikage's care for her were not concealed at all.
However, with the power of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya should have known in advance.
Under such circumstances, did Shinomiya Kaguya still fall for him?
Sakurajima Mai began to suspect whether Miyauchi Hikage, who was two years younger than her, was really a playboy.
It was just that she didn't feel the prodigal temperament of those famous playboys in the entertainment industry from Miyauchi Hikage at all, which made her somewhat hesitant.
But Miyauchi Hikage's reply quickly dispelled the suspicion in Sakurajima Mai's heart.
"I have to go to school and work. How can I have so much time to go out and play for a week? Usually, I have to film videos for myself and Tohru, and I also have to conceive manga plots and practice taijutsu with Mashiro. I probably only have some time on weekends." Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand, indicating that he couldn't accompany Sakurajima Mai for a day.
Then he turned to look at Yotsuya Miko and Sakurajima Mai: "I told Yotsuya after lunch at noon. I'll trouble her to follow up on this commission after today. And I also asked Mr. Nanami to recommend a senior female Grade 2 sorcerer to take over this commission."
"Although Jujutsu High bears the reward for the mission, the normal travel expenses for the next week still need to be paid by yourself, Sakurajima. Of course, after you return to normal, if you want to thank Yotsuya and that jujutsu sorcerer separately, it's okay to give them red envelopes respectively."
"As for the cameo appearance, I just mentioned it casually. It's fine if you don't want to. If you are willing, I definitely won't let you come for a free cameo. At most, you can give a friendly price. I can only guarantee that the TV series filmed by our Asahigaoka Media won't be a bad film that ruins your reputation."
After these words, Sakurajima Mai's mood became somewhat complicated.
On the one hand, Miyauchi Hikage had no special thoughts at all. On the other hand, her charm seemed to have no attraction to Miyauchi Hikage.
Seeing Yotsuya Miko nodding there, she knew that Miyauchi Hikage had really mentioned these things to Yotsuya Miko at noon, and had arranged the things for the next week for her.
As for the friendly cameo she prepared as a bargaining chip before, it seemed to be just a casual mention for Miyauchi Hikage.
Thinking about it, when Miyauchi Hikage introduced Shinomiya Kaguya just now, he added that Shinomiya Kaguya was considered an investor in Asahigaoka Media.
With the direct investment of a behemoth like the Shinomiya family, and the relationship between Miyauchi Hikage and Shinomiya Kaguya, as long as Asahigaoka Media released this news, it would probably attract a large number of famous artists to actively join Asahigaoka Media. What would a small cameo count for?
Relaxation, relief, regret, conflict... These emotions surged in Sakurajima Mai's heart, but she had only known Miyauchi Hikage for a day, so these emotions were not too intense.
But listening to Miyauchi Hikage's frank answer, and now reminding them not to go too far this week, preferably within Honshu Island, and not to run to Hokkaido and Okinawa, so as not to encounter any trouble and not be able to find help in a short time.
Sakurajima Mai's evaluation and favorability towards the other party rose a lot.
And after getting Miyauchi Hikage's answer, Shinomiya Kaguya's mood also calmed down a lot.
She knew it; how could Miyauchi Hikage agree to such a thing?
She coughed slightly: "There are still shares of many entertainment companies under the name of the Shinomiya family group, and I happened to acquire a few agencies recently. If you want actors for cameos on your side, Hikage, I can also help."
With the name of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Kaguya had indeed done a lot of things this month.
Since the mysterious person complained in the diary one day that this world was full of various girl bands and school idols, she considered that there were many girls in this aspect in the chat group.
Especially her junior Hoshino Ai, who became pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 15 in the original work, and her performance in the chat group now was purely like a loose screw in her head.
If possible, Shinomiya Kaguya really didn't want such a junior.
But thinking of her dark history in her own story, she could only vent this anger on that mentally abnormal manga artist.
In short, to avoid Hoshino Ai doing something stupid again because of her abnormal brain, Shinomiya Kaguya decisively bought "Strawberry Productions" where Hoshino Ai was, and while retaining the original artists and staff, she specially found an assistant for Hoshino Ai to keep an eye on her.
Not only Hoshino Ai, but also the agency of Tsukimi Eiko, whom the mysterious person spoke vaguely about, received her strong investment.
And on Bocchi's side, although the current Kessoku Band had no plans for commercialization, and hadn't even performed a formal live yet, "STARRY," the usual performance practice venue for Kessoku Band, also received some investment from her in her personal name.
She was organizing a concert now, and also planned to gather all the band and idol groups mentioned by the mysterious person in the diary to see how good they were.
If there were no problems, she would sign them all. Even if they didn't make money, it would be no problem to use them as mysterious person lures.
Thinking of this, Shinomiya Kaguya couldn't help but glance at Miyauchi Hikage.
Of course, if Miyauchi Hikage's identity could be confirmed, there would be no problem packaging all those entertainment companies and agencies together with Asahigaoka Media.
