Speaking of Kanagawa Prefecture, Miyauchi Hikage's first impression of this place was naturally the hugely influential Slam Dunk.
In this hodgepodge world, Sakuragi Hanamichi also entered Shohoku High School this year and joined the Shohoku High basketball club according to the plot.
In fact, the plot here had just passed the classic "Coach, I want to play basketball" stage, and was about to enter the prefectural preliminaries for this year's Inter-High.
And Shohoku High was indeed in Fujisawa City, where they came today, while Ryonan High was in the neighboring Kamakura City, and there was also that classic train crossing that appeared in the OP.
Of course, besides this, there were also many old acquaintances in Kanagawa.
Bocchi-chan's home was in Yokohama, Kanagawa. She chose a high school in Shimokitazawa, which required a two-hour train ride every day, just to avoid acquaintances.
And the main activity point of Togenashi Togeari (the Thorn Band), which had just held its first live recently, still had only three members, and was several months away from the band's establishment, was also in Kawasaki, Kanagawa.
As for why Miyauchi Hikage knew these things so clearly?
That was, of course, because he had secretly run over to investigate long ago.
In the intervals of filming videos, Miyauchi Hikage would run around under the guise of gathering material.
In April, he had already relied on his disguise ability to wander around various academies and high-incident locations in Tokyo.
And after obtaining the teleportation ability during the Golden Week, his range of activity expanded further from places reachable within an hour around Tokyo's urban area to forty or fifty kilometers away.
The distance from Tokyo to Fujisawa and Kamakura was only over forty kilometers. Finding the direction, coupled with Yellow Temperance's stealth ability, Miyauchi Hikage could run here to visit in half a minute.
It was also convenient to go back. If he wanted to stroll more, he would wait for more than an hour for his magic power to recover.
If he wanted to go back early, he would just find a place where no one noticed, click on the Other World app, teleport back to the Metaverse with one click, and then return to Shibuya Station with the full map open all the way—Miyauchi Hikage had already tested it; the Tokyo Metaverse was divided according to the metropolitan area.
Whether it was Saitama, where Miyauchi Hikage was, or Kanagawa Prefecture, they geographically belonged to the radiation range of the Tokyo metropolitan area. The Metaverse within this range was that intricate subway network.
Moreover, random teleportation would only teleport people to the surface layer of the Metaverse. Basically, it would take at most half an hour to return to Shibuya, and then one more teleport to get home.
With such mobility, coupled with the Eye of Destiny ability, Miyauchi Hikage could better capture the recent movement trends of those characters he was familiar with in the crowd.
This allowed Miyauchi Hikage to always appear in the right place at the right time to be an unnoticed camera, watching those familiar story plots up close, and then adjust the timing of these events and write them in the diary by the way.
As his childhood memory, Miyauchi Hikage naturally maintained a certain amount of attention on Slam Dunk.
However, there was no match today and it was the weekend, so Miyauchi Hikage naturally had no intention of running to Shohoku to join in the fun.
Let's complete the commission from Jujutsu High first.
Before practicing cursed energy, Yotsuya Miko could actually only simply see vengeful spirits and Cursed Spirits, and could not sense supernatural powers such as cursed energy and spiritual power beyond that.
But now Yotsuya Miko was considered a Grade 4 jujutsu sorcerer. It was just that she hadn't completed any commissions, and apart from the rich lady Shinomiya Kaguya, she had no connections in the Jujutsu world, so the Jujutsu higher-ups hadn't given Yotsuya Miko a grade yet.
Miyauchi Hikage actually hadn't obtained official certification from the Jujutsu higher-ups either. He only obtained recognition of his strength from Jujutsu High. As long as he took a few low-level commissions and became familiar with these commission modes, he could take those high-level commissions.
The main thing was that Miyauchi Hikage wasn't following the path of a jujutsu sorcerer. If he really wanted a certification, going to Chichibu City to display his swordsmanship, he believed the shrine maidens at Chichibu Shrine would be very happy to prepare a Grade 1 supernatural being certificate for him.
In short, Yotsuya Miko, who had officially become a jujutsu sorcerer, relied on those eyes to initially show talent in perception ability. The fact that she could clearly see the sword qi special effects after the breathing style swordsmanship was displayed explained everything.
Although she couldn't see far, within the visible range, she could see those supernatural existences and the traces they left behind clearly.
To some extent, even if Miyauchi Hikage opened the Eye of Destiny, he might not be able to see as clearly as she did.
After contacting the Grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer active around Fujisawa City, Miyauchi Hikage quickly learned the situation.
Starting from the beginning of this year, some special spiritual fluctuations had actually appeared in Fujisawa.
It was just that they had always been at a very weak level, probably not even reaching the level of a Grade 4 vengeful spirit, so this jujutsu sorcerer didn't pay much attention.
But after May, that spiritual fluctuation became much stronger.
However, this Grade 3 jujutsu sorcerer only relied on instruments to detect problems. His own spiritual vision ability wasn't strong. After investigating for a few days without finding anything, for safety's sake, he reported this matter to Jujutsu High.
He hoped that Jujutsu High would send someone with high perception ability or stronger spiritual vision ability to personally confirm the situation of the spiritual fluctuations here.
A very ordinary investigation mission, no need to fight the target causing the spiritual fluctuation.
And according to this jujutsu sorcerer's experience, he stated that there might be a person in Fujisawa who was about to undergo a supernatural awakening.
If this was true, and he could introduce that person who completed the supernatural awakening to Jujutsu High before other supernatural forces intercepted them, he could also get a generous reward.
He estimated that the reason for the good reward of this commission was also because this commission might involve the source of students for Jujutsu High.
It just seemed that he didn't hold high hopes.
"Even if signs of supernatural awakening appear, such signs do not guarantee the completion of the awakening. Among those who show signs, in the end, probably only one-third can truly awaken successfully."
The reasons for this were also quite complicated.
Either the mental power and constitution were insufficient.
Or because of the stimulation of some events, a rampage phenomenon appeared in advance. As a result, because the body and mind were not fully prepared, the awakening ultimately failed in advance, ushering in an ability rampage.
It could also be that thoughts of denial arose in the panic within the heart, and the self was unwilling to accept the fact of being a freak. Supernatural power was originally a very idealistic thing. If one's own heart was unwilling to accept it, this power would also easily fade away in this mindset.
There were even those who were entangled by vengeful spirits during the awakening process and eventually died before achieving anything.
Talking about topics related to supernatural awakening for a whole day wouldn't be too much, so after Miyauchi Hikage got a slight understanding of the situation and the range of the spiritual fluctuation, he took the group of girls to wander around that vicinity.
Miyauchi Hikage certainly couldn't really make this group of girls do anything troublesome. What he said before was just to find a suitable identity for Yotsuya Miko.
And whether it was Shiina Mahiru or Miyauchi Hikari, actually because of the Hamon breathing matter, they vaguely knew some truths about the world, and also knew from Miyauchi Hikage's attitude that the real purpose of this trip was actually relaxation and rest.
So they didn't dwell on this too much. After greeting Yotsuya Miko, they began to research today's travel route.
As for Shiina Mashiro and Tohru, the two people who knew the whole truth, one handed over all matters requiring thinking to Miyauchi Hikage to think for her, and the other was simply not interested in these things.
On the contrary, Kato Megumi, who knew nothing, really felt that being treated to a trip meant she had to help do some things more or less. Therefore, after arriving at the place, she was still inquiring about the surrounding supernatural rumors according to Yotsuya Miko's instructions.
Seeing that Kato Megumi was indeed quite interested in these things, Miyauchi Hikage didn't say anything more.
In fact, after listening to the detailed explanation of this commission by that jujutsu sorcerer, Miyauchi Hikage already had a general idea in his heart.
In Fujisawa City, for Miyauchi Hikage, the most famous place was naturally Shohoku High School.
But besides Shohoku High, there was another Minegahara High School which was quite famous.
Because in that high school, there was a big celebrity, Sakurajima Mai, who debuted as a child star from a young age.
It could only be said that Sakurajima Mai's setting in the story was indeed quite exaggerated, belonging to the super senior that the protagonists of the vast majority of idol anime needed to look up to.
She entered the entertainment industry as a child star at the age of six, and then became an instant hit with her first work, directly creating historical viewership ratings. Afterward, she continued to star in various film and television works to maintain this popularity.
Until now, ten years after her debut, at the age of 16, she was still undoubtedly a T0-level entertainer in her age group.
It could be said that Sakurajima Mai in this world was the national daughter known by more than 70% of the citizens in Japan. Even Miyauchi Hikage in this life grew up watching Sakurajima Mai's works.
When Miyauchi Hikari was little and just started school, her idol was to become a big star like Sakurajima Mai, and she often clumsily imitated Sakurajima Mai's actions on TV.
It wasn't until a few years later, when Miyauchi Hikari's temperament became more jumpy, that she gradually forgot this dark history.
According to the plot timeline, now should be the time when Sakurajima Mai, who was unable to adapt to high school life and unwilling to be used as a money-making machine by her mother anymore, felt lost in her heart. Because she "wanted to go to a world where no one knew her," she triggered Puberty Syndrome, causing everyone to forget her existence.
She belonged to the prestige edition of Kato Megumi.
Miyauchi Hikage recalled this plot.
The few days she dressed up as a bunny girl should have been during the Golden Week holiday. That day he was accompanying Honma Meiko, so it was naturally impossible to run over for a bunny girl outfit.
In other words, this heroine should have already met the male protagonist, and was now at the point where she was forgotten by everyone and only the male protagonist could notice her.
Although this bridge of being forgotten by everyone and only you can see me was a bit cliché, it was indeed a killer move for a girl whose heart was in a sensitive stage.
"The time matches. It's normal for this kind of ability to trigger spiritual fluctuations, but what's more worthy of concern is that Puberty Syndrome..." Miyauchi Hikage rubbed his chin.
It was unknown where this thing was first proposed in the original work, but it seemed to belong to the kind of term that was not public but became an established convention in a small circle for some special phenomena.
And the symptoms that appeared were also varied, and there were even multiple patients related to time.
However, in this hodgepodge world, this thing was labeled as "Supernatural Awakening," and there was another set of explanations in Jujutsu High.
Of course, simply put, adolescent boys and girls were full of energy and liked to let their imagination run wild. Most importantly, their concepts in all aspects had not yet fully formed.
Supernatural awakenings were indeed more likely to appear in people in the 12-20 age group. Precisely for this reason, Jujutsu High was called a Technical College (Kosen), not a Jujutsu University.
In other words, based on the explanation from Jujutsu High, Sakurajima Mai belonged to the category of awakening an ability that could make everyone forget and ignore her.
Even this ability could interfere with reality. Even if Sakurajima Mai's information was recorded in text before this, this ability could erase Sakurajima Mai's name from it, and make people subconsciously ignore those anomalies.
"The only problem is that after breaking this ability with a confession on the playground and making everyone remember Sakurajima Mai again, Sakurajima Mai seemed to have truly lost this ability completely. Other people suffering from Puberty Syndrome in the story also lost those powers in the end. Did the awakening fail after the ability went berserk..."
"No... it seems that some people continued to use this power after adulthood, so it's not necessarily an awakening failure. It could also be that there was no need to use these abilities anymore, so they hid them?"
Miyauchi Hikage analyzed the situation of Puberty Syndrome in his brain like this, and planned to observe Sakurajima Mai's current situation first.
Fujisawa City wasn't big. Under Miyauchi Hikage's full map search, he quickly found his target.
However, she was actually alone by the coast?
It was a pity that she wasn't wearing a bunny girl outfit as expected.
Miyauchi Hikage muttered, then pretended to perform a divination, calculated a roughly correct direction, and explained what he had divined to Yotsuya Miko beside him.
"I found something interesting. It seems that the jujutsu sorcerer didn't lie to me. From the divination results, there is indeed a person in the stage of supernatural awakening."
"And that is someone we are all familiar with. Let's go over and say hello to her now, and check her current situation."
