The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto gazed into the distance. Ahead, he saw a group of people. Led by a man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe whose face he couldn't see clearly, they defeated monsters one after another. Those monsters were either killed or sealed.

The people around that man were also constantly decreasing.

Finally, only a few familiar faces remained by the man's side.

Ei, Makoto, Yae Miko, Kitsune Saiguu, and Natsuki... just a handful of people!

Gradually, the scenes changed. In the end, the person in the bright yellow dragon robe disappeared.

At that moment, only Makoto, Ei, Yae Miko, and Kitsune Saiguu remained.

But as time passed, Kitsune Saiguu disappeared first. Then Makoto and Ei.

In the end, only Yae Miko remained.

In this place, Hakuto saw the countless demons and monsters suppressed beneath the Sacred Sakura tree. He also saw the countless heroes fighting those demons and monsters, either dying or sealing them.

Hakuto wanted to continue watching, but suddenly felt a repelling force. Immediately after, he was pushed out.

After Hakuto was pushed out, two people appeared where Hakuto had just been.

"He still hasn't remembered?"

The tone was filled with strong reluctance and longing.

"Don't worry. Soon, very soon, we will meet him again. Then, Kitsune Saiguu, Mikoshi Chiyo, Sasayuri... they will all come back. We just need to wait quietly."

When Hakuto came to his senses, he was already back under the Sacred Sakura tree. But somehow, Yae Miko was standing beside him, looking at him and asking, "Did you enter the Sacred Sakura tree's memories?"

"I don't know if I entered the Sacred Sakura tree's memories. I just saw some images in that space. A person wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, leading Makoto, Ei, you, and other monsters, either killing or sealing the rest of the demons and monsters."

"Those are the Sacred Sakura tree's memories. What you saw are the Sacred Sakura tree's memories. That person in the bright yellow dragon robe was the Great Ming's Emperor Shengzong."

"Emperor Shengzong, huh? It's a pity I couldn't see what he looked like. But I'm sure he wasn't as handsome as me!"

Hakuto's words made Yae Miko smile noncommittally. Then Yae Miko said to Hakuto, "Since nothing's wrong, get some rest early. Tomorrow's Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual will keep you busy."

Hearing these words, a hint of doubt appeared in Hakuto's eyes.

"The first stage of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual is for chefs to offer up dishes. Then, the second stage of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual is for Miko to perform the Kagura dance. Once the Kagura dance begins, it cannot stop. The six-hour-long Kagura dance is not only a test of the Miko' physical strength, but also a test of the guardian's strength."

"During the Kagura dance, the Sacred Sakura tree will release all the filth it has accumulated. This released filth will attract countless Evil Spirits. As long as the filth exists, the Evil Spirits will come incessantly. At this time, the guardian needs to protect the Miko, allowing them to complete the Kagura dance. Erina and Alice will need to make dishes to supply the guardian, for the guardian to offer to the Spirits residing within them, ensuring the guardian's combat effectiveness."

"After the filth is cleared, the Sacred Sakura tree will shower down the purest spiritual energy. This spiritual energy will be greatly beneficial to Erina and Alice. Do you understand now?"

Yae Miko still seemed angry that Hakuto hadn't appreciated her good intentions earlier. She glared at Hakuto angrily. Hakuto was silent, then very solemnly apologized to Yae Miko: "I'm sorry, Guuji Yae. I misunderstood you. Please forgive me!"

Yae Miko, however, looked at Hakuto and said, "What if I don't forgive you?"

Hakuto: "...."

'As expected of you, you smug fox. One sentence from you and I'm completely speechless!'

Hakuto rolled his eyes at Yae Miko, then said to her, "Since you say that, then never mind if you can't forgive me. I've already apologized, so I don't need to feel guilty anymore."

Now it was Yae Miko's turn to look at Hakuto.

'Wow. You just directly act like this never happened?'

'Do you think you can just apologize and have that be the end of it?'

Yae Miko looked at Hakuto and couldn't help but grind her teeth a little!

Hakuto laughed heartily and said to Yae Miko, "Just consider it a small favor I owe you. When the time comes, if there's something you want me to do, as long as it's not too difficult, I won't refuse!"

Yae Miko also knew this was the limit. She glared hard at Hakuto, then didn't say anything more.

"Then get some rest early. This Guuji is going to sleep on her beauty rest!"

Watching Yae Miko leave, Hakuto turned his head and looked at the Sacred Sakura tree. A gust of wind blew, knocking many cherry blossom petals from the branches of the Sacred Sakura tree.

For an instant, Hakuto seemed to see that purple-haired woman again.

She seemed to be embracing him. But the next moment, her figure suddenly shattered, turning into countless cherry blossom petals scattering down.

"The Nine Provinces Barrier, the Legendary Cooking Utensils. It seems I really have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

Hakuto wasn't stupid. He naturally noticed that Yae Miko and Natsuki both treated him with special regard.

And the only things Hakuto could think of were the Legendary Cooking Utensils and the Nine Provinces Barrier.

After all, Hakuto had already obtained one Legendary Cooking Utensil. After collecting all the Legendary Cooking Utensils and summoning the divine dragon, he could re-establish the Nine Provinces Barrier.

"But I always feel it's not that simple. If it were just the Nine Provinces Barrier and the Legendary Cooking Utensils, there would be other candidates. So could there be something else? It's really giving me a headache!"

Hakuto looked at the already disappeared Yae Miko, muttered to himself, then didn't think about it anymore. He returned to his room and directly fell asleep.

But after falling asleep, Hakuto fell into another new dream.

After Hakuto fell asleep, several black mists on his body seemed to want to pull his consciousness back. But a flash of white light passed by, and in an instant, those several black mists disappeared without a trace.
