When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw this message from the diary, the expression on her face immediately became somewhat stiff.
Why was the reading value cap suddenly reduced by 3 points for no reason?
What was this special reason, and from what angle should she investigate?
Although 3 reading value points didn't seem like much, she could now steadily obtain 10 reading value points from this commission every week, and it basically didn't require much effort; she just needed to follow Miyauchi Hikage's instructions.
And she usually consulted Miyauchi Hikage about her creation and cultivation problems. Given Miyauchi Hikage's character, there was no need to worry about him proposing anything unacceptable to her.
Compared to other people's daily commissions—Doma Umaru needed to do housework every day, Gokou Ruri needed to meet the weekly live broadcast duration requirements, and the girls in the group who took the idol route were required to gain fans, etc...
Her daily commission was considered the lowest difficulty level—she secretly asked Shiina Mashiro, whose daily commission was to let Miyauchi Hikage choose clothes for her every morning, and obtain reading value according to the clothes she wore.
But except for weekends, Shiina Mashiro had to wear school uniforms on school days, only getting the guaranteed reading value. Calculating it, she couldn't get 10 reading value points a week from this daily commission.
Now this almost free reading value suddenly decreased by 3 points. Although it didn't look like much, if it continued like this in the future, reducing the reading value cap by 3 points every week would be equivalent to losing more than half a month's skill proficiency every week.
If she couldn't figure out the reason why her daily commission reward was cut, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that she wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
So after hesitating for a moment, she posted her situation in the group and started asking if anyone else had encountered the same situation as her.
Of course, she was still embarrassed to say the specific requirements of her daily commission, only saying that her daily commission with a weekly cap of 10 points was cut by 3 points.
Since it concerned the commission rewards of the diary, the girls who were still online in the group attached great importance to this matter.
It was just that currently, only Kasumigaoka Utaha encountered this situation. The other online girls hadn't encountered such a situation at all.
There were also a few fun-seekers asking what exactly Kasumigaoka Utaha's daily commission was.
They remembered that Kasumigaoka Utaha had been hiding her daily commission before and hadn't told anyone about the specific situation.
After all, the girls in the group generally maintained a sharing spirit. Many mechanisms of the diary were explored and shared by them bit by bit. After joining Jujutsu High, Shinomiya Kaguya also shared almost all the supernatural powers she could contact in the group.
If anyone in the group encountered trouble, everyone would try their best to help.
This was also the only advantage for them, "ordinary people."
After all, they spontaneously formed a group chat led by Hoshino Ai a week after obtaining the diary, while the second batch of holders, although possibly much stronger than them in innate strength...
But according to the mysterious person's occasional daily complaints in the diary, the second batch of holders were still a scattered bunch fighting on their own. The daily inquiries at the back of the diary were all about their respective future information and trying to find out the mysterious person's identity. No one stood up to gather the second batch of holders.
Under such circumstances, Kasumigaoka Utaha's deliberate concealment of her daily commission seemed a bit intentional.
Under the questioning of these people, Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth in the end, still not saying Miyauchi Hikage's name, but saying that her daily commission was related to Eriri.
Anyway, the girls in the group and people at school had misunderstood her relationship with Eriri more than once. Now using this reason to pass the buck, she believed these girls would also believe it.
Sure enough, after hearing that Kasumigaoka Utaha's daily commission was related to Eriri, the attitude of the girls in the group immediately became much more ambiguous.
After all, the mysterious person serialized the Saekano novel and anime most diligently last month. Girls who knew the plot certainly knew the yuri relationship between her and Eriri, two losing heroines licking each other's wounds. It was just that Kasumigaoka Utaha herself was unwilling to admit it.
No wonder Kasumigaoka Utaha was unwilling to state her daily commission. The girls in the group quickly stopped dwelling on this issue, and only a few girls who knew the truth or vaguely guessed the truth remained silent.
After the curiosity of the girls in the group was satisfied, several girls also helped research for a while, and finally reached a most likely conclusion:
Maybe Kasumigaoka Utaha was NTR-ed.
Perhaps because it was a daily commission, the other party didn't successfully steal too much reading value, nor did the condition of failing the commission and suffering punishment appear.
So people in the group were asking Kasumigaoka Utaha if any other girls had appeared around Eriri recently. If not at school, maybe someone secretly contacted Eriri this weekend.
Looking at the analysis of the girls in the group, Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned.
Her first reaction was that woman, Sakurajima Mai.
After all, she knew clearly that her daily commission was actually bound to Miyauchi Hikage.
Miyauchi Hikage, that guy, had almost no female friends in his class. The only threatening Suzumiya Haruhi seemed to haven't shown much interest in Miyauchi Hikage in recent weeks.
To put it bluntly, Suzumiya Haruhi was more interested in her and Kato Megumi than in Miyauchi Hikage these days.
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know that Suzumiya Haruhi had already joined Miyauchi Hikage's team. After all, Suzumiya Haruhi wouldn't suddenly talk to her about these things, and Shinomiya Kaguya didn't say anything about that night because Miyauchi Hikage asked her to keep it secret before.
Without knowing this important clue, plus this prompt only popped up tonight, Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally thought more easily of Sakurajima Mai who spent the whole day with Miyauchi Hikage today.
It must be this woman. She clearly had a diary but pretended not to have one, deceiving everyone, and even stole 3 reading value points from her daily commission.
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to tell the truth in the group, and then go confront Sakurajima Mai face to face.
Unfortunately, she still cared about her face after all, and couldn't slap her own face again so quickly.
Fortunately, Miyauchi Hikage was not seduced by the beauty of that woman Sakurajima Mai, and still kept his heart. The two should only meet again on the weekend in the coming week.
She could only think about asking Shinomiya Kaguya and Yotsuya Miko privately after this matter passed to see if they found anything suspicious in their interaction with Sakurajima Mai today.
