The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Looking at Hakuto eating like a glutton, Hinako stared at him with wide eyes and said, "You eat like you're starving to death!"

Hinako didn't hold back at all because of Hakuto's status as a Super Chef. She spoke directly.

"Starving to death? You're the only one who would say that. Anyone else, who would dare? But Inui Hinako, you're quite interesting."

As if without a care in the world, Hinako smiled and said, "Because I'm not trying to get any benefit from you. So I don't need to curry favor with you at all."

"But if I were a bit petty, how would you deal with that? What if I targeted you? No, if I just showed a little intention, plenty of people would be willing to target you."

Hakuto held a roasted beef leg and said to Hinako.

Hinako looked at Hakuto and said, "You won't. You're not that kind of person. So I don't need to worry about that at all."

Hakuto threw the clean-picked beef leg bone onto the table. Then he wiped his hands and said to Hinako, "You do have a clever mind. But I can tell you that having too many thoughts like that will prevent you from mastering the Heart of Cooking. Even if you do master it, something will eventually go wrong."

He still wondered if Hinako appearing here for no reason really just a coincidence.

Hinako fell silent for a moment. Then she asked Hakuto, "Then what should I do to master the Heart of Cooking?"

"To master the Heart of Cooking, you'd best be single-minded. You have a clever mind. But precisely because of that clever mind, your thoughts are too complex, and that's why you can't master the Heart of Cooking."

Having known all along why she had been deliberately waiting for him, Hakuto guessed what her situation was. It was nothing more than the Heart of Cooking. He knew it well.

"Um, could I ask you for something?"

"Let's hear it."

Hinako took out a card and handed it to Hakuto. "This is all my savings. Can I exchange it for a Heart of Cooking dish?"

Hakuto didn't take the card. He looked at Hinako and said, "You have too many thoughts. But if you answer one question for me, I'll make you a Heart of Cooking dish."

"What question? Let me be clear, I won't answer privacy questions."

Hinako covered her chest with both hands. Hakuto looked at her sideways with a look of contempt. His gaze swept over her body.

"Wh-what are you doing? I will absolutely not agree to it. You already have Sonoka. It's absolutely not allowed between us."

Regarding this kind of conceited woman's behavior, Hakuto rolled his eyes. He asked directly, "I just want to know, do you like Shinomiya Kojiro?"

Hakuto was purely curious whether Hinako really liked Kojiro. In the original work, he had been quite curious about whether Hinako liked Kojiro.

Now that she was right in front of him, he asked directly. Looking at Hakuto's gossipy expression, Hinako looked speechless. "Why are all of you so gossipy?"

"What's wrong with my wanting to eat some gossip? Isn't it okay for humans to be a little curious?"

Hinako looked at Hakuto sideways. Finally, she said helplessly, "I'm just very grateful to Shinomiya-senpai. So I usually care about him a bit more. Why are all of you so gossipy?"

As Hinako explained, Hakuto learned what had happened. Back in school, Hinako's personality had been somewhat weak, like Tadokoro Megumi in the story.

With Kojiro's help, she had gone from being at the bottom of the class to becoming a member of the Elite Ten Council.

So she paid a bit more attention to Kojiro. This led others to misunderstand. But neither she nor he had any feelings for each other.

Seeing that Hinako seemed sincere, Hakuto realized there probably wasn't any gossip to be had. He looked at her with a speechless expression.

"Fine. I'll take your word for it. I thought there was some gossip. But it's just this. Wait here. I'll go to the kitchen..."

Hakuto suddenly frowned. The air was filled with a gray mist. Hinako had also noticed this.

"What's happening?"

Hakuto didn't say anything. He went out directly, intending to find Sonoka. But when he opened the door, he saw nothing but a gray, hazy mist outside.

"The Nameless Mist."

A piece of information suddenly came to Hakuto's mind.

"The Nameless Mist? Isn't that generated by Azathoth, the source of all things, and which gave birth to Yog-Sothoth in an unknown way? Why would Yog-Sothoth appear here?"

At that moment, a person in the gray mist was completely confused. It was Bai Yuekui, who had arrived at the Totsuki Resort. But now, she had lost her way in the gray mist. The space of this gray mist seemed endless.

Bai Yuekui could swear that she had moved at least a kilometer in a straight line. But the result was still the same gray, hazy mist.

Then, Bai Yuekui suddenly saw a figure appear not far ahead. The other person wore a white robe. The cuffs were embroidered with a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl in golden thread. Hair as black as ink was casually fixed with a wooden hairpin, with the rest draped casually over her right shoulder.

But this person's lazy demeanor was filled with an overbearing aura. Her eyes were indifferent and devoid of any emotion, as if nothing in the world was worth her notice.

Only for a fleeting moment did Bai Yuekui react.

"Bastard!"

She yelled in anger. Bai Yuekui directly drew the Tang sword hanging from her waist. Then she slashed it at the other person.

At that moment, Hakuto suddenly felt a sense of danger. He sidestepped, dodging the incoming slash.

Looking at the person who had appeared, a flash of surprise passed through Hakuto's eyes.

[Bai Yuekui?]

No sooner had the thought arisen than Bai Yuekui was already swinging her sword at him again. Hakuto quickly dodged.

Then he reached out, and the Musou Isshin appeared in his hand.

Seeing the Musou Isshin that had appeared in Hakuto's hand, an even deeper flash of anger passed through Bai Yuekui's eyes.
