It's been a while since I wrote in my journal. I don't know if Kazuki might grill me for not doing my journal as we promised. Then again, he might forget, so I shouldn't worry about him overreacting over this. Either way, I should air out the feelings I had been bottling up since that last [Hidden Quest].

First off, WHEN THE HELL DID DAD BECOME A SAGE IN THE GAME?! Did I miss some kind of an event that he participated in or something?! Also, WHAT WAS HE THINKING WHEN HE MADE THAT DAMN DOPPELGANGER AS THE FINAL BOSS?! Sure, dying in real life wouldn't be possible (thank god), but it almost gave me a heart attack when it copied Kazuki's appearance and treated him like a doll!

Ugh... I thought journaling would help me organize my mixed feelings, but it’s made me worse instead.

Although, if it wasn't for that quest, I wouldn't have sorted out my future goals and Mom wouldn't have given me the advice that got my bearings together. I still have no clue what to do in life, but it gave me an incentive to find a college after graduation. Blacksmithing isn't my thing when it comes to outside the game and archery is more of a hobby for me, but there are some crafting [Masteries] that I can do in real life. Maybe I should take the same major as Dad or video game creation.

Stolen story; please report.

Whatever I take after graduation, I shouldn't rush into things. I should let life take its course and find out for myself. That's what Mom suggested and it would be bad if I rushed into this.

Besides, now that I got out of that [Hidden Quest], I’ve begun to question the mysteries lying in front of me and Kazuki. And it would be too anticlimactic if I leave it as it is.

The next part is the expansion and whatever happens, I will be by my brother's side no matter what. [Guardian Player] or not, I'm not done with just yet.

Huh. I guess journaling did help me after all.
