“Quite unexpected.”
Having finished his diary entry for the day, Amamiya Ren also completed the lottery.
Today's content wasn't particularly rich, nor did it have a significant impact on the diary holder, yet there was still a reward.
【The Lord of Mysteries】
【Obtain Sequence 9: Fortune Teller Potion】
It was stored in a test tube about two fingers thick, containing a deep blue, slightly viscous solution.
“It seems as long as I diligently record my daily life, there will be rewards.”
“As for the things I draw, besides being related to my content, they also seem to have a connection to my current stage.”
“Very thoughtful.”
He picked up the test tube, pulled out the cork on top, and tilted his head back, drinking the potion in one gulp.
The sticky texture wasn't very pleasant, it felt like eating a green tongue that had gone limp.
As for the taste, it was like a mixed fruit juice.
In short, two words.
“Disgusting.”
Potions weren't exactly the most palatable things, and it wasn't just the taste and texture.
There were also risks to face after drinking them.
The confrontation and absorption between one's self and the spiritual imprint within the potion.
As one ascends the Sequence, the absorption of spiritual imprints within the potion increases, making it easier to suffer from the effects of mental fragmentation.
“However, it's so refreshing.”
The spiritual imprint could already be felt.
But what followed wasn't the influence of the spiritual imprint leading to mental fragmentation, but rather a refreshing feeling as the spiritual imprint transformed into a part of himself.
The spiritual imprint within the potion showed no intention of fighting with him, instead, it actively assimilated itself into him, and that spiritual imprint was even trying to help him absorb the power.
“This is ‘Unfettered’.”
Amamiya Ren grinned.
As expected, this trait really goes well with the potion system.
The side effects of the potion system were completely influenced by ‘Unfettered’, and even affected ‘Unfettered’ in return.
Humans cannot accommodate multiple personalities, that is the side effect of the potion.
The spiritual imprints within will slowly destroy those who walk the path of Sequence.
It's either absorption or assimilation.
But the end result is still ‘Loss of Control’.”
However, the trait of ‘Unfettered’ turned everything around.
‘Unfettered’ embraced the spiritual imprint, making it a part of his own personality.
It wasn't him who acted, assimilating the spiritual imprint within the potion and absorbing its power, but rather the spiritual imprint believing that he was the main personality, offering himself to the main personality, actively choosing to be absorbed.
It was like a polymerization reaction on the path of Sequence.
The urge to return to the ‘One’ made the spiritual imprint actively choose to return.
And he is the ‘One’.”
“I don't need to act at all, I can continuously nourish myself by absorbing the spiritual imprint's power.”
“If I add acting, perhaps I can accelerate the speed of absorption.”
“I should try it out.”
So, the effect of ‘Unfettered’ is truly immense.
Walking the path of Sequence with such a trait, it would truly avoid a lot of trouble.
“Tomorrow when I go to school, I can buy a book on divination and take a look, replenishing my knowledge of Occultism.”
Of course, that's tomorrow's business.
He yawned, Amamiya Ren was already feeling a bit sleepy.
Rubbing his eyes, without saying anything, he went to the bathroom, took a nice shower, and went to bed refreshed.
He drifted off to sleep, filled with the joy and excitement of officially stepping onto the path of Sequence.
Nighttime passed quickly.
Those who slept were completely oblivious to the passage of time.
With the blink of an eye, time had come to the next morning.
He went to Teitan High School with a cheerful mood.
The atmosphere within the school was no different from usual.
He was like last year in school, just a dispensable person.
He was the introverted among introverts at school, didn't like to communicate with people, didn't socialize, so naturally, he didn't have any so-called friends.
This made it easier for Amamiya Ren to better judge who got the diary.
He went to his seat in the classroom and listened attentively to the gossip of his classmates.
“That guy Kudo seems to be on TV again.”
“I saw it, this time he ran into a case at Dorobiga Park.”
“Even though that guy acts so cool, his deductive abilities are truly strong.”
The gossip in the classroom was about what happened at Dorobiga Park yesterday.
There were quite a few envious voices, praising Kudo's abilities.
Indeed, Kudo Shinichi was someone who made others envious, jealous, and hateful.
He was personally handsome, intelligent, and came from a very wealthy family, living in a detached villa, which was simply the treatment of an anime protagonist.
What was even more enviable about Kudo Shinichi wasn't just him personally, but also his childhood sweetheart, Ran Mouri, who always acted together with him.
After all, Ran Mouri was also a prominent figure in the school.
As a girl, she was beautiful, had a good figure, and had a gentle personality, only showing a fiery side towards Kudo Shinichi.
Of course, everyone also knew that this was the daily communication style of ‘Kudo Couple’.
Well, there had been rumors in the school for a long time that Kudo Shinichi and Ran Mouri were a couple.
Neither of them admitted it, but neither of them objected either.
This made everyone who knew them tease them as ‘Kudo Couple’.
Amamiya Ren pushed his glasses up and took out the diary, starting to write.
【I arrived at school and heard my classmates talking about what happened at Dorobiga Park yesterday.】
【It's just like usual, Kudo's case-solving process and the things he said in front of the camera were reported.】
【It's not unexpected, right?】
【Except, starting today, Kudo probably won't appear for a long time.】
【Poor Mouri, to some extent.】
【As for Kudo's situation, I wonder if it will develop as in the original story, where he will move into Ran Mouri's house on the pretext of entrustment.】
He temporarily put down his pen.
He rested his chin and thought.
“As long as Kudo's side doesn't encounter any problems, it's probably going to move in the direction of the original story.”
“If not, then it means Mouri got the diary.”
“However, even if Mouri got the diary, would she resist Kudo becoming a child?”
It's hard to make guesses about this situation.
Based on the relationship between Kudo Shinichi and Ran Mouri, at most, Ran Mouri would be a bit shy, maybe she would just tough it out and let Kudo Shinichi move in.
“This is a chance to judge Ran Mouri and Suzuki Sonoko.”
If either of these two get the diary, it's likely that Kudo won't be able to move into Mouri's house.
This is a key point for judgment.
