The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto's posture never changed. He just leaned against a pillar, arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show.

Jeanne's gaze turned to Hakuto, as if she saw him as an enemy. Hakuto, however, said to her nonchalantly, "Are you going to burn me, a human who colluded with demons, too, Holy Maiden Jeanne d'Arc?"

"I can't. Not to mention that my spiritual core is broken now, and I'm no match for you. Even at my peak, I would not be your match. I just have one question I would like to ask."

"A question? Go ahead and ask. Since you went to the trouble of eliminating these demons, I'll answer as long as it's not a question I don't want to answer."

"You clearly came to eliminate these demons. So why did you end up colluding with them in the end? Why did you watch these demons be released? Why were you prepared to watch the demons treat humans like livestock?"

Hakuto fell silent. He didn't want to answer this question. Seeing his expression, Jeanne sighed. "Is it because of what those demons said earlier that you've become confused, even misanthropic?"

"You should disappear now, Holy Maiden Jeanne d'Arc. Has anyone ever told you that you're very annoying? Especially when you poke into people's hearts like this, it makes people detest you."

Jeanne chuckled softly. She could only express helplessness at Hakuto's words. "Alright, then I'm sorry for leaving you with such an impression in the end. Lastly, could you please take care of Laeticia?"

"Rest assured and die. If Laeticia is still alive, I will take good care of her. You don't need to worry about that."

Hearing these words, Jeanne finally felt relieved. The next moment, Jeanne's body shattered like glass. The fragments scattered in the air, turning into specks of light and disappearing. Laeticia, unconscious, collapsed to the ground.

"I feel like Satan isn't dead yet. But since the black cavity has already been destroyed, I might as well just erase this place."

"Cthulhu!"

With Hakuto's voice, Cthulhu's figure appeared behind him. Its enormous body seemed to blot out the entire sky. Cthulhu extended one of its palms. Hakuto carried Laeticia and walked onto Cthulhu's palm.

After Hakuto stepped onto Cthulhu's palm, Cthulhu's figure gradually rose into the sky. It extended its other palm and pointed at the void. The territory of the Vatican instantly disappeared, leaving only a bottomless pit.

Inside the gap, Natsuki and her group, witnessing this scene, felt a chill run down their spines. An identical sense of fear arose within them.

Hakuto carried Laeticia and disappeared from the site of the former Vatican.

Watching Hakuto disappear, the expressions of Natsuki and her group were all somewhat grim. What Hakuto had done this time was too terrifying.

"He was affected after all."

Yae Miko's tone was filled with gravity. She had no doubt that the last person Hakuto wanted to see right now was them.

Natsuki said nothing. Yakumo Yukari said nothing. Even Hagoromo Kitsune said nothing.

"For now, let those girls soothe Hakuto. Right now, he probably only wants to see them. He harbors suspicion toward us."

When Laeticia woke up, the image of Jeanne's spiritual core shattering and disappearing still lingered in her mind. Then Laeticia got out of bed and left the room. She saw Hakuto sitting on a sofa by a small table near the floor-to-ceiling window.

"You're awake."

Before Laeticia could speak, Hakuto spoke first. Laeticia walked over and looked at Hakuto. "You broke your promise. You said you would eliminate those demons."

"Yeah, I changed my mind. So what?"

Laeticia was momentarily speechless. Looking at Hakuto, she didn't know what to say next.

Hakuto picked up the remote and turned on the TV. Laeticia's pupils contracted as she watched the news broadcast.

On the TV was an aerial shot from high altitude. The land of the former Vatican had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge pit. Laeticia looked at Hakuto, not understanding what had happened.

"The Vatican has been completely destroyed. This matter will also be buried in the dust of history. As for what you want to do from now on, that's for you to decide."

Hakuto had expected Laeticia to be confused and not know what to do. But to Hakuto's surprise, Laeticia said something that left him stunned and shocked.

"I want to become a demon hunter. Hunt those demons. I don't know if there are still demons in this world. But I want to hunt them. I don't want the tragedy of the Vatican to happen again."

Hakuto fell silent. After a long time, he took out a war flag and handed it to Laeticia. It was unmistakably the Noble Phantasm of Jeanne d'Arc: the Luminosité Eternelle.

"This is..."

"I don't know why Jeanne's war flag remained. But since you want to become a demon hunter, I'll leave this to you."

She reached out and took the Luminosité Eternelle. Laeticia expressed her gratitude to Hakuto. "Thank you."

Hakuto gave a noncommittal shrug. He stood up. "Since you're awake, I should leave too. Finally, good luck to you."

Hakuto rose and left. After Hakuto left, Laeticia noticed that a diary had appeared on the small table.

"Yagami Hakuto's Diary Copy (Laeticia Exclusive)?"

'He left this behind?'

Laeticia's mind conjured Hakuto's image. But soon, Laeticia shook her head, dismissing the idea. He hadn't left any diary just now. This diary seemed to have appeared only after Hakuto left.

Although Laeticia felt that reading someone else's diary was somewhat unethical, the diary seemed to have a fatal allure. In the end, Laeticia couldn't resist the temptation and opened the diary. After reading Hakuto's diary entries, Laeticia's expression gradually turned grave.

"I feel like things have become very bad. Is Hakuto going to be okay?"

Hakuto's manner when he left made Laeticia recall. She felt as if something was about to happen.

"Lady Jeanne, what should I do?"
