Chapter 67: If Little Gogol Kept a Diary (Nutrient Solution 18.7k Bonus Update…

Gogol’s Diary.

【December 15, 1996.

Last night, my father who loved watching theater left. Ah, winter hasn’t passed yet.】

【February 1, 1997.

Mother left too. I didn’t like her.

After father left, she increasingly lost control of her emotions. I felt she would eventually strangle me with her own hands one day. But she was my last remaining family.

What awaits me next? I don’t know.】

【April 1, 1997.

Ah, God gave me a huge surprise on my birthday – I can finally leave that village, though at the cost of being sold to a circus.

Life at the circus is equally terrible, but at least I’m genuinely learning a skill that could be useful for both combat and survival… Of course, this all depends on whether I can live long enough to graduate.】

【October 1, 1997.

I need to escape.】

【November 3, 1997.

What is this Special ability thing? Never mind, it sounds like it could help me leave this place, so I’ll accept it.】

【November 5, 1997.

No, I can’t leave just like this. At least… I should teach that circus owner a lesson.】

【November 7, 1997.

Got caught by the animal tamer. The circus people are more capable than I imagined.

But I met the circus owner – he’s completely different from what I previously thought.】

【November 8, 1997.

Is the circus owner a pedophile?】

【November 10, 1997.

The circus owner isn’t a pedophile. He’s just someone who doesn’t belong here.

I want to know more about the owner… I’ll try probing.】

【November 12, 1997.

I saw it – the circus owner was secretly smiling at my Little White Bird. Does he like Little White Bird? Why?

I thought he would prefer me more.】

【December 1, 1997.

Haven’t written much in the diary for the past two weeks because I’ve been sleeping with the owner every night, which made it inconvenient.

Though the owner always falls asleep quickly, and though the owner never cares what I do alone…

Why doesn’t the owner care about me?】

【December 2, 1997.

Wanted to do something bad to that guy who dared to show me his **, but the owner discovered it before I could act.

So the owner does care about me – he’s just too smart and can guess what I’m doing.】

【December 21, 1997.

Asked about the owner’s background, but he refused to tell me.

Didn’t know what to do, so I went out and killed an entire village. That should make the owner happy.】

【December 31, 1997.

So disappointed – the owner had to leave on business and didn’t see the surprise I prepared for him.】

【January 1, 1998.

The owner isn’t here. Nothing worth writing about.】

【February 1, 1998.

The owner returned and gave me a small wooden carved bird, along with my new name Korya.

(Though there’s a disgusting child who followed the owner to this city, and an even more damn guy on the owner…)(Scratched out)

There’s no one else. The owner only has me, his little bird.】
【February 6, 1998】

Once again taken back to rest during normal working hours by the Ringmaster. He held Korya’s hand for a long time, seeming deeply distressed by the frostbite on it.

Korya said these weren’t from the circus but were old injuries, which seemed to make the Ringmaster even more upset.

Korya comforted the Ringmaster for a long time before he finally didn’t actually cry.

The Ringmaster is so soft-hearted… It can’t be helped. If that disgusting brat stays away, fine. But if he clings on again, then Korya will just kill him.

Of course, Korya will make it quick—for the Ringmaster’s sake.

【February 10, 1998】

Asked the Ringmaster indirectly if he would ever leave Korya. He said no, that he was strong, and even if something happened, it would at most just be laying low for a while until things blew over before coming back.

After answering, the Ringmaster started smiling at Korya again. His smile is very beautiful.

……

【March 31, 1998】

One day until my birthday. The Ringmaster took away Korya’s memories and left temporarily to lay low.

【April 1, 1998】

The officers celebrated my birthday.

It wasn’t really fun. My eye is injured, so there are too many dietary restrictions. They worked for a long time to make a cake that tasted terrible.

Someone said they could fix the burnt wings of my wooden bird. I refused. If it’s fixed, I can’t use it to play pitiful for the Ringmaster and get him to compensate Korya for something.

Using my eye to play pitiful… Better not. Judging from my diary, the Ringmaster seems like a very soft-hearted person. If I said my eye hurt, he would definitely be very upset.

Then I’d have to comfort him for a long time again.

【April 12, 1998】

I don’t want to stay here anymore. As long as I’m here, the Ringmaster can’t possibly come find me.

【May 3, 1998】

The injury is completely healed. I can leave!

……

【April 1, 2000】

Two years. The Ringmaster still hasn’t returned.

……

【April 1, 2001】

The third year.

……

【April 1, 2002】

The Ringmaster threw Korya away.

……

……

【×××× year ×× month ×× day】

Met someone who looks exactly like the Ringmaster drawn in the diary. He reached out to Clown and said he just turned adult today, asking if Clown would be his boyfriend.

Everything about him is the same as before, except he remembers nothing.

So, do time, memory, and emotion mean nothing to a free bird?

……

【Year Month Day】

Clown betrayed his own wish and bound a bird that could have flown freely in the sky, just so it would sing only for Clown in the future.

Clown will suffer for this, but will not regret it.

……

【Year Month Day】

Met Fyodor. He asked Clown what he was doing and told Clown not to do things that go against his ideals.

So annoying. He wouldn’t understand even if I told him.

Freedom or not doesn’t matter. Clown realized long ago that he is just a caged bird.

As long as the bird Clown likes is with Clown, that’s enough.

……

【××××年××月××日】

Hah, the Clown knew Fyodor wouldn’t give up, but to actually persuade the [Clock Tower Attendant]… How essential is the Clown’s participation in Fyodor’s plan to deceive Fukuchi Ochi?!

【××/××/××】

An unforeseen situation occurred for both Fyodor and the Clown – the [Clock Tower Attendant] Transcendent predicted the Little White Bird would become this world’s Savior.

Using the Savior belongs to the entire world as their excuse, the [Clock Tower Attendant] demanded the Clown release the bird.

The Clown won’t let go. What does the world’s destruction have to do with the Clown?

…

【××/××/××】

Hah, the Clown guessed the [Clock Tower Attendant] wanted to control the Clown’s little bird themselves.

【××/××/××】

The Clown almost died from the [Clock Tower Attendant]’s Esper incineration ability.

When the Clown finally resolved to let the little bird go, the bird awakened a Special ability and flew back to the Clown’s side.

Just like before, the little bird protected the Clown and took the Clown away.

The little bird cried so miserably throughout the entire treatment process. The Clown doesn’t know how to describe it, but perhaps, maybe, possibly, it was even more heartbreaking than when the Commander in the diary saw the Clown’s hands.

The Clown told the little bird to stop crying, that too many tears weren’t pretty at all. The little bird got angry and decided to ignore the Clown for two hours.

The Clown pretended to be very sad and even performed the Clown’s best magic trick to apologize, finally earning a forehead touch from the little bird.

The little bird apologized to the Clown, saying they weren’t actually angry, and that the Clown didn’t need to do these things or feel sad.

But truthfully, the Clown was happy the entire time.

PS: Noticed lots of new moonstones, thank you dear readers for the moonstone rewards [Star-eyed]

[Cat Paw] Finally promoting my new upcoming work After Transmigrating as Verlaine’s Younger Brother, MC shou, CP Verlaine. Synopsis below:

Jiuli, an ordinary college student.

Bad news: he transmigrated into the world of Bungo Stray Dogs he just finished reading yesterday, and became non-human.

Good news: he came with a former Transcendent, current Port Mafia executive brother Verlaine, who’s very protective.

He fell in love with his brother.

This is terrible, but Jiuli has no intention of changing.

On the first day of his resolution, Jiuli delivered an important speech to his brother Verlaine: Brother, I like you. Will you be my wife?
Verlaine: Mm, likes me.

The second day, forced to train, Jiuli delivered another important speech: Brother, I really hate you.
Verlaine: Mm, hates me.
The third day, exhausted from training, Jiuli randomly declared: Brother, just wait – I’ll imprison you after I become stronger than you.
Verlaine: Mm, imprison me.
Day N, believing himself strong enough, Jiuli prepared to avoid the Port Mafia and imprison Verlaine himself.

Passing by Nakahara Chuuya: …

Stop fighting, if this continues he’ll suspect Jiuli is some scheming McDonald’s.

As a transmigrator, Jiuli spent considerable effort researching how to return to his original world.

He succeeded.

Thus Verlaine finally left the basement and witnessed this scene.

Then, the figure completely vanished.

Only leaving behind a notebook filled with countless deduced methods of escape.

Verlaine silently brought the notebook back to the Port Mafia.

Several months later.

Sakuri—who had studied under a martial arts master in the original world and enhanced his special ability a hundredfold using pages from the Book—wrote a new line in the [Book] and returned.

Sakuri: Wait, hold on—who’s imprisoning whom here?

A long time later, Nakahara Chuuya actively sought out Sakuri.

The moment he saw Sakuri, he was utterly shocked and offered to stop Verlaine and take Sakuri away.

Sakuri: Nakahara Chuuya, you get me! Family of origin is a lifetime of dampness…

Sakuri: But I, Sakuri, love humidity!

Nakahara Chuuya: .

He shouldn’t have bothered with these two people!

1. Sakuri (uke) × Verlaine (seme), [uke-focused] story! The uke just likes to talk big!

2.JJ be advised, not actual brothers, no blood relation whatsoever, just a kindred spirits setup.
