Ren was momentarily surprised but quickly understood what was happening.
"Well… it shouldn't be possible."
"Exactly."
Sonoko nodded in satisfaction.
"So, I want to make a bet with you."
"The bet is whether or not I'll receive a diary."
"I bet that I will."
"So, Amamiya, you have to bet that I won't."
Can it really work like this?
Having been forced into choosing "no," Ren felt his odds of winning were incredibly low.

"If you really encounter a villain, it would be great to take them down on the spot, but…"
Aizawa narrowed his eyes and continued, "In situations where there's an overwhelming difference in strength, the smartest choice is to escape immediately and call for backup."
As he spoke, he glanced at three students in the crowd and said, "Todoroki, Iida, Midoriya—you all should understand this better than anyone."
At these words, the three of them grew serious, instinctively ...
"Additionally, the student pairings and their assigned teachers have already been decided in advance," Aizawa announced.
"These pairings were determined by the school based on multiple factors, including each student's behavior, academic performance, and… level of closeness."
"Closeness?"
Kyoka's cheeks turned slightly pink at that word. Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Kaminari, standing beside her. "The teachers don't know about my relationship with Kaminari, do ...
In the New World, within the royal palace of Dressrosa, Doflamingo lounged in the courtyard.
Originally, Dressrosa's palace had been rather modest. The country itself had been impoverished, and while the Riku royal family had no great leadership skills, they had genuinely cared for their people. Naturally, this meant they hadn't spent resources on building extravagant palaces.
But ever since Doflamingo seized power and declared himself king, Dressrosa's national strength had...
In Alabasta, Crocodile sat in the underground chamber of the Rain Dinners Casino, the grand establishment he had built in the city of Rain.
The facility was lavishly constructed, featuring an enormous underground aquarium. However, instead of housing typical marine life, the tank contained a group of colossal Banana Gators.
These creatures were vicious, massive and extremely aggressive. While they weren't Sea Kings, they were even more ferocious than those deep-sea behemoths. In...

April 29th, under the lights of the San Paolo Stadium in Naples.
In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Napoli hosted Manchester United.
As the players from both teams, led by Danish referee Peter Rasmussen, emerged from the tunnel to the deafening cheers of over 50,000 Napoli fans, the atmosphere inside the stadium reached its peak.
The live broadcast cameras scanned every corner of the ground, capturing every moment of this high-stakes encounter.

One of the reasons professional football has so many fans worldwide and attracts so many elite talents is not just because of money and fame, it's because it is the closest thing to war in peacetime.
And war always stirs passion and fearlessness.
In the 1990s, Ferguson led his all-conquering Red Devils, dominating the Premier League and winning three league titles in four years. With stars like Cantona and the Class of '92, Manchester United's ambition stretched beyond domestic ...
"Amamiya, what do you plan to do in the future?"
As they enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, Sonoko shifted the conversation toward the future.
"What are your goals?"
"I haven't really thought about it."
Ren had never been one to plan too far ahead.
Maybe it was because of his indifferent personality, but he had always lived in the moment, taking things one step at a time.
He had no concrete vision for the future.

His clothes remained the same, but just changing his hairstyle and glasses made a significant difference.
Walking beside him, Sonoko couldn't stop smiling.

Since this was their first date, the plan was simple, shopping and getting to know each other better.
They were supposed to meet under Tokyo Tower.
By around nine o'clock, Ren was already waiting there.

Before long, Sonoko arrived, dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit.
She wore a gray patterned swea...

But whether that opportunity existed or not, it was clear that Mouri Ran had already made a choice completely different from the original story.

This is the highest restriction placed on the diary holder, meant to prevent the diary's writer from being exploited as a tool.
Ren emphasized this rule.

Standing there was Ren, dressed casually.

His eyes landed on Ran, and for a brief moment, he hesitated.
Then he glanced at Sonoko and immediately understood.

When one side chooses to deceive, that connection is severed before it can even begin.
And when the selfish motivations behind the deception are laid bare, the relationship loses all meaning.
Even so, Sonoko remained fully supportive of Ran's decision.

Sitting in her classroom, Ran pondered over the information she had gathered.
She didn't know much about him.
But according to the diary, it seemed like Sonoko had taken an interest in him. That meant she could ask her.
Just like how Sonoko always gossiped about people at school, Ran figured she could approach this casually, as if she were simply curious.
With that in mind, as soon ...

Just like she would in her own home, Ran woke up early to prepare breakfast and lunch.
In fact, she got up even earlier than usual today.
Not because she wanted to, but because her appetite had increased dramatically, meaning she had to prepare much more food.
Which also meant she needed extra time to cook.
Her new morning routine left her busy in the kitchen for nearly three hours. 2025-01-30 20:30:24 +0000 UTC View Post

There was room for speculation about others, but Suzuki Sonoko was definitely not a diary holder.

Kisame Hoshigaki, the infamous "Tailless Beast" of Kirigakure, was known for his monstrous chakra reserves.
In the original story, Hyuga Neji once remarked that, aside from Naruto, Kisame possessed the largest chakra reserves he had ever seen.

Thus, to mold him into a Kage-level powerhouse capable of taking on Jinchūriki, Orochimar...

Strictly speaking, this was yet another accident caused by a lack of foresight. I wanted to dismantle Littlefinger's scheme, and I succeeded.

A generation's worth of conspiracies had been unearthed and exposed to the light by a single wave of a time traveler's hand.
