The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Hakuto took Eri with him as they searched around Teitan Elementary School. Afterwards, Hakuto discovered that aside from the school grounds, there were invisible walls everywhere else. That meant the only place Hakuto and Eri could move around now was inside Teitan Elementary School.

Hakuto had no idea what was going on with this space. Even his Anywhere Door wouldn't work, and his phone had no signal either.

Eri followed behind Hakuto, searching for a way out. But unlike Hakuto, she couldn't go without eating or drinking. Being an ordinary mortal, Eri's stomach let out a growl.

Hearing the sound from Eri's stomach, Hakuto knew she was hungry.

He took out bread and milk from his storage ring and handed them to Eri. "Take a rest. In a situation like this, where we don't know if there's danger, being in this state will only make you a burden."

Eri silently took the bread and milk, then expressed her thanks to Hakuto. After eating and drinking her fill, she let out a small sigh of relief.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I can go several days without eating. If you're still hungry, I have more."

Hakuto took out more bread and milk, but Kisaki Eri shook her head. "There's no need. Eating too much in this situation would also be a burden."

Hakuto glanced at Eri and nodded, saying nothing more. Eri then asked Hakuto, "So, have you found anything about this place?"

Eri really wanted to know if Hakuto had discovered anything. She had an uneasy feeling about this place, as if something was constantly watching and observing her.

"Nothing yet. But I believe something should change soon. The person who trapped us here couldn't have done it just to let us starve to death. So, if nothing unexpected happens, the mastermind behind this should appear before us soon."

Hearing Hakuto say this, Eri silently nodded. That was true. Since they had been trapped here, the person behind it probably had some kind of demand. And if they had a demand, they would have to contact them.

"The sky outside is getting dark. The school will probably be plunged into darkness. We should start a fire first."

Even though it was still the same school, there was clearly no electricity. So things like lights in the school couldn't be used at all.

Therefore, to avoid being plunged into darkness, Eri suggested starting a fire.

But the next moment, Hakuto took out various lighting equipment right in front of Eri. Eri's composure completely broke down.

She even began to suspect that Hakuto was the mastermind behind this. Otherwise, why would he be so well-prepared?

"I prepared these when the crisis broke out in Tokonosu City two years ago. I've been carrying them with me ever since."

Facing Eri's suspicious gaze, Hakuto shrugged and then explained.

Eri checked the production dates on the equipment, confirming they were indeed manufactured two or three years ago, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry. I'm being overly suspicious."

Eri apologized to Hakuto. Hakuto waved his hand, not minding. Eri's behavior was very normal. If Hakuto were in her place, he would be suspicious too. And she was only suspicious, not doing anything. Hakuto wasn't about to get angry over something so trivial.

But suddenly, Hakuto noticed something. The Kisaki Eri before him seemed to be gradually undergoing some changes—changes that felt somewhat familiar to Hakuto.

"Attorney Kisaki, have you noticed that you seem to be undergoing some kind of change?"

Hearing Hakuto's words, a look of confusion instantly appeared on Eri's face. Then, after carefully observing herself, she said, "No, I haven't."

Hakuto silently handed a mirror to Eri. Then, Eri, who was speechless, suddenly realized that she seemed to have gained an indescribable charm—a charm like opium. Even Eri herself was somewhat captivated by her own reflection in the mirror.

With a bang, Eri suddenly shattered the mirror, and then a look of terror appeared on her face. At that moment, Eri realized that she had almost been mesmerized by her own reflection.

She had just had the terrifying thought of tearing her reflection apart and completely possessing it, merging with it forever.

Hakuto looked at Eri and said calmly, "It's still manageable for now. But if you continue to stay in this space, it probably won't be long before you develop an allure that makes people want to tear you apart and eat you, merging with you forever."

A chill ran down Eri's spine. She looked at Hakuto. However, Hakuto said to her, "I probably know who created this space."

"Then can you... or do you have any way to solve this problem I'm having?"

"We can try it, if it works."

A seed appeared in Hakuto's palm. It was a Black Goat's Egg. Hakuto said to Eri, "This is a Black Goat's Egg. I need to implant it into your body. It might not work. And once implanted, your life and death will be in my hands. So, it's your decision whether to use it. But I think it probably won't work. There was someone in a similar situation before, and it didn't solve the problem."

Eri: "..."

If Hakuto hadn't said that, Eri might have agreed. But now...

Seeing Eri's expression, Hakuto knew she was unwilling, so he didn't insist and put away the Black Goat's Egg.

"Is there any other way?"

Eri asked Hakuto. Hakuto was stunned for a moment, then said, "There is another way, but it's even more absurd than the previous one."

Kisaki Eri: "What way?"

"My bodily fluids."

Eri's eyes went wide as saucers, looking at Hakuto with shock.

"And the effect is also unknown, because it's never been tried before."
