The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto returned home. Although he had not been able to achieve his goal, he did understand that the Dark Cooking Society was still under Tushan Fengxi's control.

This gave him a bit more confidence, at least that the Dark Cooking Society was better off in her hands than in someone else's.

Though it wasn't actually much better.

When Hakuto was Emperor Shengzong, he had Tushan Fengxi do those unseemly things for him in the shadows. As satisfying as it was back then, Hakuto was now feeling helpless.

Precisely because he knew Tushan Fengxi too well, Hakuto understood how troublesome her methods would be to use against him.

What worried him more was that she might not use those methods on him, but on the other women.

[Fengxi should have some discretion, enough not to take anyone's life. But their family members are another matter. Knowing Fengxi, she is capable of doing such things. I need to find a way to divert Fengxi's attention. The problem is that she has too much time on her hands and starts thinking about unnecessary things. I need to find something for Fengxi to do so she doesn't overthink.]

[Speaking of which, I was originally going to see Yukino today. But because of what happened at Totsuki, I got delayed. I guess I'll have to go tomorrow. I hope Yukino won't be angry about this. I saw Kaguya and Megumi today, but when it came to Yukino, the Totsuki matter happened to come up, so I couldn't see Yukino. I hope she won't be angry about this tomorrow.]

[Speaking of Yukino, I suddenly thought of Yukinoshita Haruno. Something seems a bit off about her. Given Yukinoshita Haruno's personality, if a man appeared next to her sister, she would definitely investigate the man's entire ancestry. But so far, she hasn't taken any action. Is that normal?]

Yukinoshita Haruno: It's completely normal, okay? Besides, I have your diary every day, so I can observe what kind of person you are.

[Speaking of which, could Yukinoshita Haruno also have something to do with the Restoration Society? The Restoration Society has twelve parliamentarians plus one Heavenly Emperor, thirteen people in total. The only one exposed so far is Shinomiya Seiryu. The identities of the remaining twelve are unknown. Could Yukinoshita Haruno be one of them?]

Seeing Hakuto's diary, Yukino's expression changed drastically. Her sister was connected to the Restoration Society? Even though it was just Hakuto's guess, still...

Yukino knew very well how terrifying Hakuto's guesses, or rather, his intuition, were. Whenever he wrote a guess in his diary, it came true. That meant her sister really had a high probability of being one of the Restoration Society's parliamentarians.

[I remember Yukino likes cats. Could Yukinoshita Haruno be the Rat? If that were true, it would be a huge joke.]

Yukino directly closed the diary and went to find her sister. She had to find out if her sister was really connected to the Restoration Society.

Similarly, as a diary copy holder, after reading Hakuto's diary, Haruno fell silent.

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable!

Haruno was starting to doubt her life. Was this reasonable?

Hakuto's guess in the diary was not wrong. Haruno was indeed one of the Restoration Society's parliamentarians, with the code name, Rat!

'This was toxic. Was there something wrong with Hakuto's brain? How could his random guesses come true? Was there no justice or law?'

Haruno sighed and prepared for her sister Yukino to arrive.

Knowing her sister, she was sure to come. Sure enough, before long, Haruno saw her sister.

"I just want to know if what Hakuto wrote in his diary is true or false."

Haruno looked at her sister and smiled. "What if I said it was true?"

Yukino's face instantly darkened. Although Haruno had a joking expression, Yukino knew she was telling the truth.

Yukino fell silent.

"Defect. I'll talk to Hakuto about this."

"Okay."

Haruno's answer surprised Yukino.

She had expected to have to persuade her sister for a long time, but unexpectedly, Haruno...

"Yukino-chan, I have a diary copy too. How could I not know what kind of person Hakuto is? There's no future in following the Restoration Society. So naturally, I'm willing to defect. Besides, I joined the Restoration Society for profit, to use its power. It's not because I really want Japan to become independent or anything like that. I wouldn't do something that stupid."

Haruno was lying. If there really was a possibility of Japan becoming independent, she would make the right choice. But now, even a blind person could see that the Restoration Society was like a skeleton in a tomb.

How could Haruno follow them all the way to the dark end?

Yukino looked at her sister and said nothing. If she voluntarily confessed her identity to Hakuto now, he probably wouldn't do anything to her.

"Then my little life is in your hands, Yukino-chan."

Haruno's joking expression gave Yukino an urge to hit someone. She had never met anyone like Haruno.

"And also, sorry, Yukino-chan."

Haruno apologized to Yukino. Although she still had a joking expression, Yukino fell silent.

"Then, what do you know about the Restoration Society? Or do you know the whereabouts of the Legendary Cooking Utensils?"

Haruno reached out and patted Yukino's shoulder.

"Sister is not as all-powerful as you think. The twelve parliamentarians are all wary of each other. I don't know about the Legendary Cooking Utensils. But I do know the identity of another parliamentarian. I can sell that."
