Chapter 67

Sooner or later, she would personally say to her mother: "I'm sorry, I love you the most, Mom."

It was very embarrassing.

But she didn't want to let herself have regrets again.

This time, Nagi Sanzenin stood straight and expressed her most formal gratitude to Ren Amamiya.

"Thank you, Amamiya."

Perhaps the diary’s choice was not Ren Amamiya’s autonomous choice, but the benefits given by the diary were still because of Ren Amamiya.

Then this gratitude was necessary.

This was a chance for a choice she had obtained unconsciously.

This was far more precious than the power she had obtained.

"You're welcome."

The Amamiya house was exceptionally lively today.

Considering that the diary holders had never had a chance to meet formally, they had a formal gathering after school.

Naturally, the place for the gathering was at the Amamiya house.

As the owner of the diary, the Amamiya house was naturally the most suitable place for a gathering.

This gathering was also secretly divided into three groups because of their acquaintances.

The first was Ran Mao Li and Sonoko Suzuki.

The second was Kaguya Sigong and Ai Hayasaka.

The third was Nagi Sanzenin, Isumi Saginomiya, and Maria.

All three parties sat in different positions, and the atmosphere seemed a bit silent.

"I was wondering why a big ice block like you would go to an amusement park for no reason."

Sonoko Suzuki spoke first.

"Although I don't know if it was you or the tsundere brat, you guys gave yourselves away that noon."

"And my dad even found some clues."

At this moment, both Kaguya Sigong and Nagi Sanzenin were very surprised.

"A frozen camper van, that was a clear enough warning, right?"

Kaguya Sigong was slightly stunned, then shook her head slightly.

"It seems it was my problem."

"The power obtained that noon caused a commotion beyond my imagination under a simple test."

"I had Hayasaka handle it afterward."

"I didn't expect it to still be tracked down."

"What do you think?"

Sonoko Suzuki rolled her eyes at her.

"The information inside the amusement park was cleaned up, but my dad launched an investigation from the outside."

"I thought nothing would be found."

"But there was actually a photo with low clarity that was taken."

This was indeed a mistake.

Kaguya Sigong also understood that this was her own problem.

She had subconsciously used her power directly, never thinking that the power she obtained would be so terrifying.

"This is my problem."

"At that time, I had just obtained that power, and using it out of curiosity caused that situation to happen."

"Yes, yes."

Ai Hayasaka was also full of complaints at this moment.

"The power Miss Kaguya used at that time didn't just freeze the camper van; I also suffered some frostbite inside the camper van."

Ren Amamiya’s gaze was fixed on Sigong.

His spiritual gaze scanned Sigong’s spiritual body; sure enough, there was some kind of spirit residing on it.

That parasitic spirit seemed to feel danger and immediately calmed down.

Regarding this, he roughly understood what kind of power Sigong had obtained.

"Devil Fruit."

"And it’s a very powerful Logia fruit, the Ice-Ice Fruit."

"Student Sigong, Logia fruits contain very terrifying power; they can freeze everything in an instant, even the ocean is no exception."

"As long as it is used normally, it can even permanently change the climate and geology of an island."

"!?"

Kaguya Sigong was slightly shocked.

She had never imagined that the fruit she ate, which tasted terrible, could have such a great effect.

"However, powerful power is often accompanied by certain risks."

"This is also something you, Student Sigong, need to clearly know."

Kaguya Sigong was very clear about this.

"I know."

"There are no free gifts in the world."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly, then stood up from her seat.

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked Student Amamiya yet."

"If it weren't for Student Amamiya, I wouldn't have been able to obtain this power."

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly.

"This is power you obtained yourself."

"No, this power was obtained through the diary."

"If it weren't for Student Amamiya, I wouldn't have had such an opportunity."

Kaguya Sigong still knew this point.

No, to be precise, she had always known this point.

Living in the Sigong family, the most important thing to pay attention to is these things.

"Additionally, I also need to apologize for another test last time."

"Another..."

Ren Amamiya looked at Sigong and thought for a moment.

"So that’s it."

"You wanted to see if I would use the diary to control you and forcibly possess you."

Kaguya Sigong nodded slightly.

This was the other test from when she took the initiative to meet him last time.

"Although it was rude, I still wanted to clarify this point."

Regarding this, Ren Amamiya could also understand.

After all, something like a diary that could give big gifts would make it hard not to fall into it.

And once the owner of the diary had desires regarding this, it would be inevitable that they would do some excessive things to the holders.

This was indeed an answer that needed to be tested out.

If it were him, he should also do the same thing.

"Don't worry about it."

"If it were me, I should also make the same judgment."

"If one’s future were controlled by someone not quite suitable, then that so-called power is better off not having."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Kaguya Sigong bowed slightly.

"Since Student Sigong mentioned it, then I will repeat the topic I discussed with Sanzenin."

Ren Amamiya simply described what he had said to Nagi Sanzenin.

Everyone present could understand such a statement, and could also understand what the so-called price was.

At the same time, Sonoko Suzuki also had her own thoughts.

"It’s not just the benefits brought by the diary."

"There is also some information about the future brought by Amamiya."

"Perhaps the story of the future deviates from our future, but this part of the information is also very important."

"We know the future, and the future has deviated."

"I think this is also part of the price."

"The line has forced us into a strong connection with Amamiya."

"It shows that our future will inevitably have an unusual relationship with Amamiya."

"Perhaps lovers, perhaps friends, perhaps partners."

"But if it really develops to that step, then it is not a so-called price, but something mutually recognized."

"Right?"

"Right."

Kaguya Sigong nodded slightly.

"Perhaps the forced connection at the beginning was not voluntary on our part."

"But the connection based on benefits is our voluntary choice."

"If there is more development in the future, that is not a so-called price."

"It is merely a kind of growth that follows the natural course."

Perhaps there was a forced relationship at the beginning.

But once this forced relationship becomes voluntary.

Then after being voluntary, it cannot be called a price.
