“Yui, you're hiding something from me, aren't you?”
Seeing Yui’s expression, even if Sanae didn’t pay attention, she knew that Yui was definitely hiding something from her.
“Um…”
Sanae’s questioning made Izumi Yui even more conflicted.
“Sanae…”
“But forget it.”
Just as Yui was about to confess, Sanae, who was just about to question, directly chose to give up.
“If you don’t want to say it, then forget it. Anyway, I just need to know that Yui and I are in the same situation.”
Sanae wasn’t someone who liked to dig for answers, especially when it came to her most trusted and closest friend. There was no need to continue to dwell on it.
Some things will be revealed bit by bit later.
“Sanae…”
Izumi Yui also felt a ripple in her heart as she looked at Sanae. Her soft and sweet voice was ready.
“Since you have already come into contact with these things, you will inevitably encounter them in the future. It might be better to tell you instead of continuing to hide it from you.”
Hiding it was equivalent to the unknown. And once you encounter the unknown in the future, you wouldn't know how to handle it, which would be even worse.
“Sanae, there are special powers in this world. Similarly, there are also evil spirits with special powers.”
“Evil spirits… Like ghosts?”
“Yeah, Sanae is very afraid of that kind of thing, so I haven’t told you.”
“… I see.”
Indeed, Sanae was most afraid of things like ghosts.
Even when it was brought up now, Sanae felt her legs a little shaky when she thought about those intangible ghosts.
However, she looked at Yui in front of her and placed her hands on Yui’s shoulders.
“What about you?”
“Me?”
Izumi Yui looked at Sanae with a confused expression.
“Aren’t you and I the same age? I’m afraid of those ghosts. Aren’t you afraid?”
“…”
Izumi Yui remained silent for a moment, but still nodded slightly.
“I’m also very afraid. At first, I didn’t even know what to do when I encountered them. After coming into contact with them, I gradually learned how to use my powers. However, I also encountered some people who were afraid when they saw my powers during the exorcism process.”
“At that time, I realized that people are afraid of unknown powers. As long as they can't control it, that fear will always exist.”
“So, that’s why you didn’t want me to know?”
Sanae took a deep breath and squeezed Yui’s face with her hands.
“Yui, I will never be afraid of you. You with those powers are not a monster to be feared, but a knight. You are always a knight who jumps out to help people when they are in trouble.”
“This is punishment for not trusting me. Next time, you need to tell me about such things immediately. We are the best friends.”
“Yeah, I’ll tell you next time, Sanae.”
Looking at Sanae’s sincere gaze, Izumi Yui felt the stone in her heart loosen.
She walked forward and hugged Sanae, completely ignoring her face being pinched.
“Sanae, I love you the most.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that. However, I love you the most too, Yui.”
Sanae, who was suddenly confessed to, also blushed a little. However, she didn’t say anything awkward in front of Yui and admitted that the person she loved the most was Yui.
The shackles between the two were suddenly broken by the sudden power.
The two who expressed their attitudes remained the best friends.
“Ha, Sanae and Miss Yui still have such a good relationship.”
Maria couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at the two’s relationship.
Ever since she started taking care of Sanae, Sanae and Yui’s relationship has always been very good.
Sanae liked to tell her familiar people about some of her favorite anime plots. Sometimes, she would even draw some comics herself.
Although, for Maria, Sanae’s comics’ plots and style were a bit surreal. But only Yui could easily accept the stories and styles in Sanae’s comics. She even always discussed it with Sanae.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the two can become good friends.
Today, this reason seems to have another reason.
After expressing her personal emotions, Sanae was a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere. She quickly changed the subject.
“Speaking of which, Yui, what do you think about this diary?”
“I don’t know.”
Izumi Yui shook her head helplessly.
“This kind of thing is just weird. As Sanae said, just by looking at the diary, you can get a chance to draw lots and get this strange power. The cost and the reward are completely disproportionate.”
The cost is too little, and the reward is too much.
It’s really hard to understand.
Isn’t this just simply getting something for nothing?
“It’s not just the diary that’s strange, the person who wrote the diary is also very strange.”
“That gentleman completely revealed his name without any defense. It’s just to let those who see it to investigate. And those who can investigate the gentleman's information can investigate his recent actions. It’s inevitable to trigger probing.”
“It’s also a problem why that gentleman wrote his name down.”
In Izumi Yui’s opinion, even if you don’t specify your identity, it’s fine. Hiding your identity might even bring greater benefits.
“Indeed.”
Sanae also reacted. This was indeed a big problem.
“Completely exposing your information is almost like putting yourself in danger. Normally, you should hide your information and gradually make yourself stronger before exposing your information. When you reach that point, that person should no longer be a threat in the real world.”
“Once someone sees the benefits of the diary, they can directly control the person involved, and that person will be in big trouble.”
Sanae, who has been facing kidnappings since she was a child, knows how strong the malice in people’s hearts is.
They can do anything for money.
So, how many people would do things against their nature for even more incredible power?
Probably even more.
“That person should be aware of this.”
“Moreover, at noon today, that person deliberately reminded me about the lottery when I saw the diary content. This is obviously intentional.”
“So, he is fishing?”
PS: Well, the initial exposure of his own name is a loophole, I decided to patch up the loophole with some settings. Gospel is super obedient.
