Chapter 254

But it was precisely because of situations like this that all the girls present came to understand just what kind of power a diary truly possessed.

Bestowing strength upon others for no reason at all, and even being able to do things like resurrection.

This gave all the girls a brand-new understanding of the diary's upper limits.

"Long Zhu is indeed one of the few special items that can resurrect."

"Besides resurrection, wishes like restoring youth or achieving immortality can also be granted."

"It's just that excessive wishing often disrupts the normal rules, which causes a series of troubles."

Ren Amamiya briefly explained the situation regarding Long Zhu.

"Ah? Then, mine this……"

"Just once or twice is no problem."

Ren Amamiya waved his hand.

"Besides, the Long Zhu you got should be a consumable, right?"

Nagi Sanzenin immediately recalled that the Long Zhu's description had noted it was one-time use.

"Yes, it seems it can only be used once."

"Then that's right."

"The appearance of the Long Zhu is because your own wish was answered by the diary."

"Long Zhu is very difficult to obtain — you need to collect seven to get one chance to make a wish, and on top of that, using a Long Zhu is one-time only. This is the restriction placed on your wish."

The appearance of the Long Zhu, combined with a series of restrictions, destined it to be a wish-granting machine specifically tailored to one purpose.

Ren Amamiya even guessed that the Long Zhu Nagi Sanzenin obtained could almost only be used to resurrect her mother.

Otherwise, the existence of Long Zhu would be a bit too overpowered.

There wouldn't be a situation in the world where you could just collect seven Long Zhu and have your wish granted.

Placing normalized restrictions on wishes is what's normal.

Let alone something as taboo as resurrection.

Nagi Sanzenin, however, was not disappointed.

"Once is enough."

"Other wishes can be striven for through one's own efforts; only resurrection is something you can never obtain no matter what."

Nagi Sanzenin didn't have that many thoughts.

Having her mother return to her side was her greatest wish.

Ren Amamiya strongly agrees with this point.

Other things can be striven for, but only a small portion of the things one wants most can never be obtained no matter what.

Then he shifted his gaze to Kaguya Sigong alone.

Xiaolan got Magic Nullification, Nagi got a One-Star Long Zhu; next up was Kaguya Sigong.

"Kaguya Sigong, you're next."

Kaguya Shinomiya took a deep breath and looked at Amamiya with a question.

"The diary can draw out what the owner needs most according to their wish."

"Amamiya, what do you think I need most?"

That question was quite broad.

Ren Amamiya didn't answer right away, but thought for a long while.

"What you need most is a person you can trust."

Hearing this answer, a faint glimmer flashed in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes.

"In the stories I know, what Kaguya Sigong needs most is not anything else — just a person you can trust."

"Even if betrayed, there is only one person you can never let go of."

As Ren Amamiya spoke, he looked toward the girl behind Kaguya Sigong.

"I think what you need most is Hayasaka."

"She is the person you trust most, and also your earliest friend."

It is precisely because of this trust that even though she once betrayed you, you chose to let it go lightly.

"Especially now, you've already broken free of the cage, yet you still let her off lightly."

"I think Hayasaka won't leave your side in the future either."

"And what you want should also be for her to always be by your side from now on."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Amamiya, who had said these words.

She didn't answer directly, but took out the diary and spun the wheel.

She needed a verification — a chance to verify the thoughts in her heart.

The spinning wheel slowly came to a stop.

【One Piece】

Just like last time, it stopped on the same section.

【Obtain the Door-Door Fruit, a Devil Fruit】

A fruit shaped like a pear, with many strange patterns on its skin, appeared in front of Kaguya Shinomiya.

It was verified.

Indeed, this was the result her heart had been longing for.

Kaguya Shinomiya's emotions gradually calmed.

"Amamiya, a person can only eat one Devil Fruit, right?"

"Yes, one person can only consume one Devil Fruit."

"Heh~ It seems the wish in my heart is just as Ren Amamiya said."

Having found the answer in her heart, Kaguya Sigong couldn't help but laugh.

"Hayasaka, eat it."

"Yes, Young Lady Kaguya."

Hayasaka Ai, standing behind, didn't hesitate at all; she opened her mouth and took a bite.

An indescribably nauseating taste spread through Hayasaka Ai's entire body via her taste buds, that disgusting flavor making her whole body stiffen.

At the same time, it also made her understand why, back in the RV, Young Lady Kaguya's face had twisted so strangely when she ate the fruit.

Eating this fruit is truly as disgusting as eating shit.

Even though her face turned very ugly and her brows furrowed tightly, Hayasaka Ai still struggled to swallow the fruit flesh in her mouth.

For Hayasaka Ai, this was like undergoing torture.

No, to be precise, it was far more severe than torture.

Yet she still swallowed it; one large fruit was entirely consumed in just a few bites.

"Is Hayasaka in that much pain?"

Fujiwara Chika, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Devil Fruits, while they can grant the eater some special powers, their own taste is extremely terrible."

"Opposite to the miraculous power they bestow, their taste can be said to be quite awful."

Hearing Ren Amamiya's explanation, Fujiwara Chika almost instinctively asked further.

"Just how terrible is it?"

"Just like eating shit."

"... Hiss!"

Having received the answer, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Watching Hayasaka Ai still struggling to swallow, she felt as if she had tasted that flavor herself.

Instantly, all envy retracted in that very moment.

Eating shit is no joke.

At this moment, she truly admired Hayasaka for daring to eat that thing.

But she quickly realized something.

Wait! Kaguya ate a similar fruit before.

Doesn't that mean Kaguya also ate shit?

Fujiwara Chika felt her admiration for Kaguya climb another level.
