Year, Month, Day—
Didn't succeed in proposing to Big Sister Mitsuba today either.
I can't even remember how many times I've failed anymore. Ever since my parents sent me to the Centenarian Dojo, I propose to Big Sister Mitsuba every single day, only to be rejected by her without hesitation.
Everyone says that constant dripping wears away the stone, that where there's a will there's a way. So why have I never succeeded?
It must be because I'm still too young, right?
Yes, that must be it.
After all, every time Big Sister Mitsuba rejects me, she calls me "little brat."
This proves that Big Sister Mitsuba has never taken my proposals seriously, but I'm clearly serious about it...
Damn it, if only I were a bit older...
Alright, that's enough diary for today. Time to sleep now. Tomorrow, I'll continue proposing to Big Sister Mitsuba.

Got into a fight with someone on the way to the dojo this morning. It was that handsome but extremely slovenly Tengu beggar.
Because he mocked me for proposing to Big Sister Mitsuba, and deliberately spoke ill of her, saying Big Sister Mitsuba was actually scary and stuff...
I couldn't stand it and fought him, but lost.
Damn it, that guy clearly looked half-dead lying there. How could he be so strong? What kind of beggar can fight like that?
But fortunately, when he was about to beat me to death, Big Sister Mitsuba, who was on her way to work at the dojo, happened to arrive and beat that stinking beggar up instead.
Big Sister Mitsuba is truly amazing. Even though she's a girl, she could make that stinking beggar crawl all over the ground with just a tree branch.
Big Sister Mitsuba even took me to Doctor Butterfly's clinic afterward and personally applied medicine for me. So happy.
That beating was worth it.
What's sad is that my proposal to Big Sister Mitsuba failed as usual this time too...
Also, I keep feeling that Doctor Butterfly was acting a bit strange today. Maybe it's just my imagination...

Big Sister Mitsuba's elder brother also moved to town yesterday. He's a very tall, very handsome, and very muscular man.
But unlike the lively Big Sister Mitsuba, Big Brother-in-law always has a cold face and looks dazed all day. However, if you seriously interact with him, his personality is actually quite good and easy to talk to.
What's sad is that ever since Big Brother-in-law also became a swordsmanship instructor at the Centenarian Dojo, Big Sister Mitsuba goes out to play every few days, unlike before when she came to the dojo every day. So painful...
But perhaps this is good too. If I work hard to build a good relationship with Big Brother-in-law now, when I propose to Big Sister Mitsuba in the future, Big Brother-in-law might stand on my side, hehe...
Speaking of which, it's strange that Big Brother-in-law and Big Sister Mitsuba both have poor health and rarely go out during the day. Could this be some kind of hereditary family illness?

Everyone says the fireworks festival is the best time for confessions.
But why, even though I've proposed to Big Sister Mitsuba at the fireworks festival for three consecutive years, have I never succeeded even once?
The year before last, Big Sister Mitsuba gave me a piece of rice cake.
Last year, Big Sister Mitsuba gave me a fox mask.
This year, Big Sister Mitsuba gave me a rattle drum.
Sigh... she's completely treating me like a child...
She even told me to find someone I truly love to marry when I grow up, but I clearly... sigh...
Speaking of which, when I was going home tonight, I saw Big Sister Mitsuba hurriedly leaving town alone.
It's so late, what is Big Sister Mitsuba going out to do?
I really wanted to follow and see, but my parents took me home...
Better sleep early tonight. I'll definitely see Big Sister Mitsuba again when I go to the dojo tomorrow morning.

Big Sister Mitsuba is gone.
She didn't go to the dojo today, not at home either. It seems she never returned after going out last night. So worried...
And it's not just Big Sister Mitsuba. Big Brother-in-law and Doctor Butterfly are gone too.
Strange, where did everyone go?
In the afternoon, I also heard that there was a murder case in town. It seems Mr. Keizo's family was poisoned to death... how could such a thing happen in our small town?!
I also heard that the centenarian old man fell ill too. So scary... why does it feel like everything around me suddenly changed?
I originally wanted to visit the centenarian old man at the dojo, but my parents wouldn't let me go out today either, saying it's dangerous outside. They locked me alone in my room...
So scary. Big Sister Mitsuba, please come back soon...
"..."
Year, Month, Day.
Big Sister Mitsuba finally returned.
I heard from nearby adults that last night, all the disciples of that swordsmanship dojo in town were killed in one night.
The murderer seems to be Big Brother Hakuji. Everyone privately says that these were the people who poisoned Mr. Keizo's family.
But the officials at the magistrate's office say that's not the case, and even issued a wanted notice for Big Brother Hakuji... who is telling the truth?
My parents still won't let me go out, but to see Big Sister Mitsuba, I secretly climbed out the window.
I have a premonition that if I don't see Big Sister Mitsuba this time, I might never see her again...
My luck was good. I met Big Sister Mitsuba at the dojo entrance as she was preparing to leave.
She really was leaving.
Big Sister Mitsuba said so much to me this time, telling me to grow up happily from now on, and to marry someone I truly love and live happily...
I actually had a lot I wanted to say to Big Sister Mitsuba too, but looking at Big Sister Mitsuba's expression—clearly sad yet deliberately pretending to be happy—I ultimately couldn't get these words out...
I just watched like that as Big Sister Mitsuba left.
My heart hurt so much. I really wanted to follow Big Sister Mitsuba and leave together at that moment.
That night in bed, I cried my eyes out alone.

I happened to read some novels written by Europeans the other day, and suddenly got an idea in my head.
I'm going to found a religion!
A religion with Big Sister Mitsuba as the holy maiden!
I will forever record Big Sister Mitsuba's beauty and words and deeds, so that my descendants and all people in this world can eternally appreciate Big Sister Mitsuba's unique beauty!
Yes! That's it!
Hmm... but what should this religion be called?
Thinking carefully, Big Sister Mitsuba used to often tell me to live happily...
In that case, why not call it—
The Eternal Bliss Sect.
