Chapter 41

The increase in meal expenses is a very serious problem for Ran Mouri.

After all, more than ten years of frugal life have already made her develop such good habits.

But her stomach can't be neglected; when it's hungry, it really doesn't give any face.

So she needs to think about whether to work part-time on weekends in the future.

It's all food that goes into her own stomach; she still prefers to use the salary she earned through hard work to increase her food.

Actually, regarding this problem, another part-timer who was still working that weekend had the same problem.

"The money problem still needs attention."

After finishing a day's study routine and returning home, Ren Amamiya was also thinking about the money problem at home.

I don't know if it's a heritage, but I feel that I haven't had much fate with money in my past life.

Even though he lives in the cheapest accident apartment, because of the food problem, money is hard to save.

Ren Amamiya won't be too harsh on himself when it comes to food.

He won't go as far as those internet celebrities in the frugal circle who force themselves to the limit just to save some money.

So, the source of money still needs to be thought about.

"Should I do a divination? See if there is any money that can be easily obtained."

Now that I have obtained power, the way to get money can be slightly changed from the part-time jobs of the past.

There's really nothing to say about the conditions of the apartment he lives in.

Except for the fact that cases have occurred there, there are almost no other problems.

However, besides the living problem, he still hopes that eating can be better.

When he has free time, he doesn't have to go out to work; he can leisurely stay at home like a worm.

So, taking advantage of the free time, he can use divination to calculate his recent wealth luck.

He took out a deck of tarot cards he bought before going home, and after a simple shuffle and cut, he drew one.

Ace of Wands, Judgment (upright), World (upright).

"That's really good news."

All three cards indicate the appearance of wealth and opportunities to get rich.

Do a more detailed divination.

A scene of revelation appeared in his mind.

By the river at dusk, an abandoned building standing on the side.

"An abandoned building? It feels like someone deliberately hid something there."

"Mm, it shouldn't be an illusion; it should be that someone hid it there."

Such things might not be many in other cities, but in a place like Beika, such things are really quite common.

Maybe it was put there by some thief who stole something.

Ren Amamiya was silent for a moment and continued to divine a question.

Moon (upright), Sun (reversed), Judgment (reversed).

"Mm, it is indeed ill-gotten wealth."

"Hidden treasure, betrayed brothers... betrayed brothers after a successful robbery, wanting to swallow the wealth alone."

An obvious result.

Continue to divine the guy who betrayed his brothers and hid the treasure.

Eight of Wands, Seven of Swords, World (reversed).

"Greed has no good end; because of greed, he was sent to the station by his brothers."

"If that's the case, the police are looking for it now, right?"

"Since I can divine the location of the wealth, the police side shouldn't have found it."

As long as the police haven't found it, it's fine for him to take those things.

As long as the treasure isn't leaked out easily, the problem won't be big.

It's just that he needs to be careful when laundering the money; after all, when some things are lost, the police like to station themselves at places that can be exchanged for money.

But even so, it didn't dispel Ren Amamiya's idea of embezzling this stolen money.

He doesn't know how much treasure was hidden by that person.

But colluding with companions to rob things and wanting to occupy the stolen treasure alone, there should be at least 10 million yen behind it, right?

"Go there tomorrow and take a look."

The specific location was also divined.

How much stuff is hidden there can be seen; mm, it's best to hide yourself.

There's no need to worry about where to store the treasure.

The Forsaken Land of the Gods can open the door at any time, and when the time comes, just throw the found things in.

And then there's today's diary.

[Shinomiya and Hayasaka, who just transferred over, really became the popular figures in the class.]

[This point is not particularly surprising.]

[They were VIP members of the student council at Shuchiin.]

[What really makes me care more is that Ran Mouri asked for leave today.]

[Mm-hmm~ this is even more concerning to me than Shinomiya and Hayasaka who have already laid their cards on the table with me.]

[This should be the turning point of the story, and also the key to guessing whether Ran Mouri holds a diary.]

[Ah, there is one more thing that is a problem I care about.]

[The date.]

[When Sonoko Suzuki came to the class yesterday, she came to look for Shinomiya.]

【It was likely the sudden transfer of Sigong that made Suzuki Sonoko feel strange, and she wanted to come and test the results.】

【As a result, I bumped into her at the entrance.】

【My body, accustomed to years of part-time work, is still in better shape, and since a girl’s weight is on the lighter side, she hit me with excessive speed, but I certainly wasn't the one who was going to fall.】

【It’s just that when I pulled her up, she seemed to have set her sights on me.】

【First, she said she wanted to get to know me, exchanged contact information, and even set up a date for the weekend.】

【Ah, come to think of it, what are you supposed to do on a date?】

【Having lived two lifetimes, I have absolutely no idea.】

【By the way, isn't Suzuki Sonoko a standard face-con? Does she think I’m handsome?】

This is also a point that Ren Amamiya finds quite strange.

Ren Amamiya really doesn't have much of an awareness of what he looks like.

He only feels that he is definitely not as good as many charismatic handsome men.

Just like Kudo; he feels that the gap between himself and the other person is still quite large.

This is also a point that Ren Amamiya does not understand.

At the same time, Kaguya Sigong is also looking at today’s diary.

Looking at Ren Amamiya’s final self-questioning, she cannot help but recall Ren Amamiya’s image and temperament.

“Hayasaka, do you think Amamiya is considered good-looking?”

“He is.”

Ai Hayasaka gives the answer almost without hesitation.

“The glasses that person usually wears are thick-rimmed non-prescription lenses; their main purpose is to hide himself.”

“The unkempt curly hair is also to hide himself.”

“This is a manifestation of low self-esteem.”

“It actually fits the situation of Amamiya’s past life that I investigated.”

“If he were to change his image slightly, the feeling Amamiya gives people would change instantly.”

“Does the diary say something?”

“Hmm... Amamiya seems to have been targeted by Suzuki Sonoko. Ren Amamiya seems to be doubting why he was chosen.”

“I see, that is a standard manifestation of not having a clear self-awareness; it is a sign of low self-esteem.”

Ai Hayasaka gives the answer directly.

However, the news that Suzuki Sonoko has targeted Amamiya is quite explosive.

Others didn't notice, but Suzuki Sonoko noticed it at a glance.

Therefore.

“Miss Kaguya, is Suzuki Sonoko also a diary holder?”

PS: It should be a bit late today as well. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
