The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Kaguya—or rather, at this moment, Houraisan Kaguya—looked at Shinomiya Seiryu in front of her and shook her head. "What a disgusting, hypocritical guy."

Hearing this evaluation, Shinomiya Seiryu was slightly stunned. Then he seemed to understand something. He looked at Kaguya and said, "Not Kaguya, but Kaguya's contracted Spirit?"

"I don't know how Kaguya contracted with you, but how about giving up on Kaguya? I can give you much more than Kaguya can."

"Hah, I have no interest in a man like you. Alright, it's time for me to fulfill the contract."

A branch appeared in Houraisan Kaguya's hand. It was like white jade, with branches adorned with five-colored gemstones.

"Disappear for me."

Houraisan Kaguya lightly waved the Hourai Branch in her hand. Five-colored light was left in the air. The light instantly turned into light balls and smashed towards Shinomiya Seiryu.

"Unfortunately, I can only bring out so much power. I can't even activate the weakest spell card, let alone attacks beyond the spell card level."

There was some regret in Houraisan Kaguya's words. But she didn't think Shinomiya Seiryu could withstand her casual attack. A lowly shadow demon. Something she could kill with a wave of her hand.

But something unexpected happened. The shadow demon directly absorbed all of Houraisan Kaguya's attacks. Shinomiya Seiryu suffered no damage at all.

Now Houraisan Kaguya had a bad feeling, 'Since when could a weak monster like a shadow demon absorb my attacks without being harmed?'

"It seems your attack isn't working. So it's time. Strike, shadow demon."

The pitch-black shadow demon instantly turned into something like a puddle of ink. Then the shadow demon became a beast. But there was no shadow beneath this beast's feet.

Houraisan Kaguya: ...

'Damn it. I barely come out, and I immediately fail. Damn it, damn it, do you hear me?'

Houraisan Kaguya cursed internally. But there was nothing she could do. She had just formed the contract with Kaguya. She was using divine possession to control Kaguya's body. But Kaguya's body was weak and couldn't bear too much power.

Even if Houraisan Kaguya wanted to increase her power, she couldn't.

If she used too much power, Kaguya's body would be like too much air being pumped into a balloon, then explode.

But fortunately, Houraisan Kaguya suddenly felt a familiar sensation. This feeling made a smile reappear on her face.

"Yakumo Yukari, stop watching the show. Come out and clean up the mess. You don't want anything to happen to this Kaguya, do you?"

Hakuto and Yakumo Yukari, hiding in the gap, both twitched the corners of their mouths.

'This woman Houraisan Kaguya was a bit...'

Yakumo Yukari looked at Hakuto. "Do you want to step in?"

"Yes. Nothing can happen to Kaguya. And catching one of the twelve parliamentarians is enough."

After speaking, Hakuto stepped out of the gap. He looked at Houraisan Kaguya with a look of disdain. "Useless."

Houraisan Kaguya widened her eyes and trembled with anger.

'Useless?'

'This damn man called me useless?'

Then Houraisan Kaguya began to explain. Things like Kaguya couldn't bear too much of her power, and how if her true body were here, she could kill the shadow demon with a wave of her hand. Complicated words like that.

"One of the Restoration Society's twelve parliamentarians. I didn't expect to catch such a big fish."

Shinomiya Seiryu's expression changed drastically. He immediately ordered the shadow demon, "Kill them!"

The shadow demon instantly attacked Hakuto, arriving in an instant. But the moment its claws touched Hakuto's body, its entire being seemed to melt like ice and snow, disappearing without a trace.

"Do you have any other trump cards?"

Hakuto looked at Shinomiya Seiryu and asked. But then he gave up. "The villain dies from talking too much. I'll just get on with it."

A cyan wind instantly wrapped around Shinomiya Seiryu's body. He fell to the ground and began to scream.

To Hakuto's surprise, Shinomiya Seiryu lasted longer than Gin had. A full seven hours.

He screamed for seven whole hours before being transformed into a Faceless One. Looking outside, the sky had already brightened. Hakuto found it hard to imagine that Shinomiya Seiryu's will was so tenacious.

"Tell me everything you know about the Restoration Society."

Hakuto immediately ordered Shinomiya Seiryu. He told Hakuto everything he knew.

The Restoration Society's twelve high-ranking members used codenames combining the Zodiac Animals. For example, Shinomiya Seiryu's codename was Serpent. But even the twelve parliamentarians didn't know each other's identities. The only one who truly knew who the twelve parliamentarians were was the one codenamed Heavenly Emperor. That person was the true controller of the Restoration Society.

'Heavenly Emperor?'

Hearing this term, Hakuto looked at Shinomiya Seiryu with confusion. "Wasn't the entire Heavenly Emperor clan drowned in a manure pit by Emperor Shengzong?"

"No one can be sure whether that person is truly a member of the Heavenly Emperor clan. Nor does anyone care whether they are. Every high-ranking member of the Restoration Society joined for their own purposes. Just like me. I joined to gain control of the Shinomiya Family, using the Restoration Society's power to get what I wanted."

"Find a way to figure out who the remaining eleven parliamentarians are. And find that Heavenly Emperor. I want to see whether he's a survivor or just an impostor. Regardless, once I find him, I don't mind letting him experience the Heavenly Emperor treatment too. Drown him in a manure pit."

"Yes!"

Hakuto looked at Shinomiya Gan'an and Kaguya. "Kaguya, I plan to let Shinomiya Seiryu control the Shinomiya Family. You..."

"Alright."

Kaguya agreed without any hesitation. Hakuto smiled at her and said, "I will compensate you."

"Then..."

Before Kaguya could speak, Hakuto directly interrupted. "That condition is absolutely unacceptable. I won't agree. So Kaguya, don't even mention it."
