The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

[I can basically confirm that the Takagi Family are members of the Restoration Society. I just didn't expect the signal to be blocked in Tokonosu City, making it impossible to contact Natsuki-chan now.]

[But later, I'll take Takagi Saya to the Takagi Residence. Once we arrive, I can basically confirm whether they are or not.]

He put away his diary.

Hakuto looked at Saya, Saeko, and the others. "Then let's prepare and depart. While it's still early, we need to hurry. If it gets dark, it will be harder. Let's try to reach our destination today."

"Okay. Let's go."

Saya looked at Hakuto with a hint of excitement in her eyes. She would be home soon. With two skilled fighters, Saeko and Hakuto, protecting her, Saya believed she would definitely return home safely.

"But who among us can drive? Even if we have a bus, if no one can drive, it's useless."

Takashi still wanted to struggle in vain.

Shizuuka raised her hand. "If it's driving, I think I can manage."

"Then it's up to you, Marikawa-sensei. As long as you get me home, I'll reward you well."

Saya said to Shizuuka. Shizuuka gave a silly laugh. "Really? Then I want lots of designer bags and clothes."

"No problem."

Saya immediately agreed. For things that could be solved with money, she didn't think were difficult.

"Then let's go."

"Oh, a piece of personal advice. Even if we see other survivors later, we should probably mind our own business. The more people there are, the greater the chance of being targeted by those things. I don't want some kindness to cost us our lives. What do you think?"

Saya became even more certain that Hakuto was definitely not an official of the Great Ming. Officials wouldn't say something like that. So Saya looked at Hakuto and nodded in agreement. "You're absolutely right, Yagami Ryohei. We can't let some people's kindness put the rest of us in danger. I completely agree with what Ryohei said."

Upon hearing this, Takashi directly objected. "How can we be so cold-blooded? We can't just ignore those who ask for help."

"Then go save them yourself. Just don't bring trouble to us. And I also don't agree with them getting on our bus. That's final. If you want to save them, then you can face those dangers with them. Don't drag us into danger too."

Takashi's face flushed. His gaze towards Hakuto became full of hatred. Seeing this, Rei immediately defended him. "Takashi was just saying something. What do you mean by being so aggressive?"

Hakuto looked at Rei and sneered. "Fine. You two go on your own. Don't follow us. You can save whoever you want. This lovely young lady, if you don't mind, I think I can take you alone. It would be much easier than dragging these deadweights along. Hmm, Saeko is an exception. Saeko, why don't you come with me?"

Saeko looked at Hakuto and nodded.

Takashi and Rei's expressions changed. They knew their own strength. Without Saeko, they were eighty percent doomed.

"Saya, you can't abandon us."

Hearing this, hesitation appeared on Saya's face.

Hakuto said leisurely, "This lovely young lady, do you think it's easier for Saeko and me to protect just you, or for us to protect so many people?"

Saya's expression stiffened. Internally, she was already leaning towards just Hakuto and Saeko protecting her. But...

"The fewer people, the more convenient."

Hakuto's voice was like the whisper of a demon, filling Takagi Saya's heart with entanglement.

"However, I'm not completely unreasonable. If they don't cause me trouble, I actually don't mind bringing a few people along. But I hope they won't cause me trouble. Otherwise, I won't mind killing them."

Hakuto's gaze turned to Takashi and Rei.

Hearing this, the expressions of Takashi and Rei instantly turned ugly.

Saeko looked at Hakuto and chuckled lightly. "Yagami-kun, stop scaring them. I'm sure they'll listen to you."

"Oh, you saw through me, Saeko-san. But I wasn't joking. In this situation, any idiot who wants to save people will only get everyone killed."

Hakuto said calmly, "Alright. We should go."

Hakuto led the way out. Saya followed closely. Then Saeko, then Shizuuka and Kohta.

Although Takashi and Rei had ugly expressions, they still followed.

Soon, they arrived at the bus. Along the way, with Hakuto and Saeko clearing out the "Them", there was no danger.

But just as they were about to start the bus and leave, a shout came from the school. "Wait, we're still here. Take us with you!"

A group of students, led by a glasses-wearing teacher, ran out.

Hakuto ignored them. He said to Shizuuka, "Ignore them. Keep driving."

Takashi decided to cause trouble again.

"Wait. It's just a moment. There's no danger right now. We can wait a little while and save all these people."

Hakuto looked at Saya. "What do you think, lovely young lady?"

Saya looked at Takashi with a flash of annoyance and directly refused. "Don't worry about these people. Marikawa-sensei, drive."

Then Saya looked at Takashi. "And Komuro, if you want to save these people, then stay here with them. We're leaving first. We're not on the same page. Besides, the school is mostly cleared out now. They can get keys and take another bus. They don't need us to wait for them."
