The increase in food expenses was a very serious problem for Ran Mouri.
After all, a decade of frugal living had instilled in her such good habits.
But her stomach couldn't be disrespected either. When it was hungry, it really didn't give her any face.
So she needed to consider whether she should find a part-time job on weekends.
It was all going into her belly, so she preferred to use the salary she earned from her hard work to improve her diet.
Actually, in terms of this issue, the other part-time worker who had been working on weekends also had the same problem.
"We need to be mindful of money."
After completing his daily studies and returning home, Yuuma Kousaka was also thinking about money at home.
He didn't know if it was a kind of inheritance, but it felt like he hadn't had much to do with money in his past life.
Even though he lived in the cheapest accident-prone apartment, because of the food issue, money was hard to save.
Yuuma Kousaka wouldn't excessively blame himself for his food expenses.
He wouldn't push himself to the limit, like some of the frugal influencers who would do anything to save money.
Therefore, he needed to consider where the money was coming from.
"Should I do some divination? See if there's any easy money to be made."
Now that he had gained power, the way he made money could change a bit compared to his past part-time jobs.
There was really nothing to say about the conditions of the apartment he lived in.
Apart from the fact that there had been a case there, there were almost no other problems.
But aside from the living situation, he hoped he could eat better.
With free time, he wouldn't need to go out to work part-time and could just relax at home like a worm, wriggling around.
So, while he had free time, he could use divination to calculate his recent fortune.
He took out a deck of Tarot cards he had bought on his way home, shuffled them simply, and drew one.
The Wand of Wands, the Judgment, the World.
"Good news indeed."
The three cards all foretold the appearance of wealth and opportunities to make money.
He would do a more detailed divination.
An image of revelation appeared in his mind.
A derelict building stood by the riverbank at dusk.
"A derelict building? It feels like someone deliberately hid something there."
"Yes, it shouldn't be a delusion. Someone should have hidden something there."
Such things might not be common in other cities, but in Mihoshi Town, it was quite common.
Maybe it was something a thief had stolen and hidden there.
Yuuma Kousaka pondered for a moment and continued to divine another question.
The Moon, the Sun (Reversed), the Judgement (Reversed).
"Yes, indeed, it's ill-gotten gains."
"Hidden treasures, betrayal of a brother...robbed and then betrayed the brother, wanting to keep the wealth."
The results were obvious.
He continued to divine about the guy who betrayed his brother and hid the treasure.
The 8 of Wands, the 7 of Swords, the World (Reversed).
"Greed has no good end. Because of greed, he was sent to jail by his brother."
"So, the police are also looking for him now?"
"Since I can divine the location of the wealth, the police must not have found it."
As long as the police hadn't found it, there was no problem with him taking everything.
The treasure wouldn't leak out easily, so it would be fine.
He just needed to be careful when disposing of it, because the police loved to patrol places where things could be exchanged for money.
But even so, it didn't dissuade Yuuma Kousaka from the idea of taking the loot.
He didn't know how much treasure had been hidden.
But if he had robbed something with a partner and then wanted to keep the loot for himself, there should be at least 10 million yen behind it, right?
"I'll go there tomorrow."
The specific location had also been divined.
He could go and see how much treasure was hidden there. Well, it would be best if he could hide himself.
He didn't need to worry about where to store the treasure.
The Source Fortress could be opened anytime, and he could just throw the things he found into it.
Then there was today's diary.
【The newly transferred Shizuka and Aoi have indeed become the center of attention in class.】
【This is not particularly surprising.】
【They were VIP members of the student council at Shuchiin.】
【What really interests me is that Ran Mouri was absent today.】
【Hmm, this is more interesting to me than Shizuka and Aoi, who have already revealed their cards to me.】
【This should be the turning point of the story, and it's also where I can guess whether Ran Mouri has the diary.】
【Ah, there's one more thing that's a bit concerning.】
【The dating thing.】
【Yesterday, when Sonoko Suzuki came to class, she was looking for Shizuka.】
【It should be that Shizuka's sudden transfer made Sonoko feel strange, so she wanted to test the waters.】
【I ended up bumping into her at the door.】
【My body, which has been working part-time for years, is still better. Besides, girls are lighter, and if they bump into me at high speed, I'm definitely not the one falling.】
【But when I helped her up, she seemed to be interested in me.】
【First, she said she wanted to get to know me, and we exchanged contact information. She even made a date for the weekend.】
【Ah, what are you supposed to do on a date?】
【I've lived two lives and still don't understand.】
【By the way, isn't Sonoko Suzuki a typical face-obsessed girl? Does she think I'm handsome?】
This was also something Yuuma Kousaka found strange.
He really didn't have much of a sense of his own appearance.
He just felt that he was definitely not as handsome as many other charismatic guys.
Like Conan, he felt that he was quite a distance from him.
This was also something Yuuma Kousaka couldn't understand.
Meanwhile, Kaguya Shinomiya was also looking at today's diary.
Looking at Yuuma Kousaka's final question, she couldn't help but recall his image and temperament.
"Aoi, do you think Yuuma is handsome?"
"Yes."
Aoi Hoshi answered without hesitation.
"That thick-rimmed flat-top glasses he usually wears are mostly for hiding himself."
"The unkempt bangs are also for hiding himself."
"It's a sign of self-doubt."
"It does fit the background information we gathered about Yuuma's past life."
"If he just changed his image a bit, the way people perceive him would change instantly."
"Is something mentioned in the diary?"
"Yeah...it seems like Yuuma has been targeted by Sonoko Suzuki. Yuuma seems to be questioning why he was targeted."
"I see. That's a classic case of not having a clear perception of himself, a sign of self-doubt."
Aoi Hoshi immediately gave the answer.
However, the news that Sonoko Suzuki had her eyes on Yuuma was quite explosive.
Others hadn't noticed, but Sonoko Suzuki had seen it at a glance.
Therefore,
"Miss Shinomiya, is Sonoko Suzuki also a diary holder?"
PS: I should be up late today as well.
