A few minutes later, on the rooftop of the school building, Kamio Tatsuya and Sakayanagi Arisu sat on either side of a bench.
Sakayanagi's cane leaned against the bench, and she was eating the fried noodle bread that Kamio Tatsuya had bought for her, taking small bites.
The taste was indeed good. No wonder it sold out so quickly every time. It was just a little dry to eat. It would be nice if there was something to drink.
Just as she was thinking this, she saw Kamio Tatsuya take out a box of juice and push it along the bench towards her. Her heart warmed. Maybe, perhaps, possibly, she had misunderstood him?
But what brand is this?
Lime flavor, I've never had it before. I hope it's not too bad.
Sakayanagi Arisu looked at Kamio Tatsuya and saw that he had the same juice in his hand, and immediately felt relieved.
So Sakayanagi thanked Kamio Tatsuya, then took out the straw, inserted it into the juice box, and took a big sip.
Sour!
The intense sour taste made Sakayanagi Arisu's little face wrinkle up into a ball, and the jolt straight to the top of her head made her feel a little dizzy.
Then she heard the sound of mad laughter ringing in her ears.
"Hahahaha!"
She'd been tricked again!
In a daze, two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes, unsure if it was from humiliation or a physical reaction to the sourness.
Seeing this, Kamio Tatsuya felt like he might have gone a little too far.
So he took out two tissues from his pocket and handed them to her.
In his past life, he liked to carry tissues when he went out because he was nearsighted, and he could use them to wipe his glasses, and he could also wipe sweat in the summer. They could also be used in emergencies.
This habit had continued until now, and he never thought it would actually be used.
Seeing the tissues that Kamio Tatsuya handed over, Sakayanagi Arisu refused to take them, feeling that it was another trap.
"Don't worry, I'm not tricking you this time."
If I believe you again, I'm a dog!
Sakayanagi Arisu looked up and glared at Kamio Tatsuya with tearful eyes, then took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped away her tears.
"When are you going to stop making fun of me?"
Hearing this, Kamio Tatsuya smiled slightly, not angry at all.
"You don't have to be so angry. I have my reasons for doing this."
"Okay, okay, then let me hear your reasons."
"First of all, you're here today to ask for my help, right?"
"That's right."
"Then can I assume that you can't handle this matter yourself?" Kamio Tatsuya said with a smile. "Since you can't handle it, it must be a troublesome matter."
"If it's a troublesome matter for you, it's definitely the same for me. Otherwise, you would have told me as soon as you came to school this morning. Am I right?"
Sakayanagi Arisu didn't speak, indicating her agreement.
"But since you're looking for me, it means that in your mind, I'm likely to agree to this matter, or at least there's room for negotiation."
At this point in the conversation, Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes were very complicated when she looked at Kamio Tatsuya, because he had guessed everything correctly.
This matter could be said to be both simple and difficult for Kamio Tatsuya.
"Since you want me to do something that I might not want to do, what's wrong with me playing a little prank on you?
If you're asking for a favor, you naturally have to have the right attitude. If you can't even tolerate this, then you can go back."
Also, I won't mention the fact that you leaked my information to Ryuen.
Hearing this, Sakayanagi trembled slightly. Twisted logic, all twisted logic!
"I may be asking you to do something difficult for you, but I didn't say I wouldn't give you any reward. Don't you think it's going too far to play tricks on me like this?"
But Kamio Tatsuya raised his index finger and waved it from side to side.
"Don't get me wrong. There's no such thing as a difficult thing for me. There's only things I want to do and things I don't want to do.
So the thing you want me to help with must be something that I didn't want to do at first, but will do anyway. It's forcing someone to do something they don't want to do. Don't you think you're the one who's going too far?"
There's no such thing as a difficult thing?
You're really arrogant.
"Then go build a perpetual motion machine."
Are you doing this on purpose?
Do you even want me to help you or not?
Kamio Tatsuya glared at her unhappily.
"I'll give you one more chance to phrase that."
Sakayanagi took a deep breath. She felt like her heart condition was about to act up.
"Are you trying to make my heart condition come back?"
Heart condition?
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Sakayanagi Arisu in surprise.
"So you're not just lame, you also have a heart condition?"
"If you can't say anything nice, shut up!"
Then Kamio Tatsuya actually shut his mouth.
Damn it, in order to avoid being expelled, I absolutely can't be alone with this guy in the future. If something happens, who can take responsibility? Crap!
This jerk is definitely going to try to get something out of me if anything happens!
Who can afford to mess with that?
Looking at Kamio Tatsuya's sudden change in attitude, Sakayanagi Arisu felt like it wasn't real.
What's going on?
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Sakayanagi Arisu remembered the purpose of today's meeting.
"Kamio-kun, who do you think is the most special student in Class D?"
The most special student?
Could it be me she's talking about?
After all, I'm a time traveler!
Kamio Tatsuya pointed at himself suspiciously, then immediately made Sakayanagi laugh.
"I didn't expect you to be so conceited."
"Koenji is conceited. I call this confidence. What do you know?"
It seemed that after Sakayanagi calmed down, she became somewhat accustomed to Kamio Tatsuya's way of speaking.
"Besides you, who do you think is the most special student in Class D?"
The most special student in Class D...
Kamio Tatsuya couldn't really say, because he felt that there were quite a few special people in Class D.
Even Horikita, the student council president's sister, didn't stand out too much.
Kushida Kikyo, an angel on the surface but a two-faced person in reality...
Hirata Yosuke, who is usually very gentle but fights very fiercely...
Koenji Rokusuke, who seems very conceited but has high abilities in all areas...
And then there's Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who clearly has considerable strength but has been clumsily hiding it...
"You wouldn't have fallen in love with someone in Class D, would you?"
"What if I did?"
"I advise you to give up. This kind of thing isn't suitable for you."
"Oh? Why is that?"
"With your physique, plus your heart condition, you probably won't be able to have children in the future."
Anyway, Kamio Tatsuya wouldn't choose someone like Sakayanagi Arisu as his girlfriend. She can't do things and can't give birth. It's very realistic, but that's humans for you.
These words seemed to really hit Sakayanagi Arisu's sore spot, and she sat there for a long time without saying anything.
"Unfortunately, this isn't a love topic."
"Is that so?" Kamio Tatsuya shrugged. "There are quite a few special people in Class D. I don't know which aspect you're looking for. Why don't you just say it?"
"It's the kind... that doesn't seem like a normal human."
Doesn't seem like a normal human...
Then there's only one left, right?
"You're not... talking about Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, are you?"
Kamio Tatsuya said somewhat uncertainly.
Sakayanagi looked at Kamio Tatsuya and nodded, a smile appearing on her lips. "You really are amazing."
It was him after all. If the strange behavior of others was still within the human range and could be figured out, then Ayanokouji was a bit too strange.
Trying too hard to hide himself among ordinary people is also the same as standing out sometimes.
And Chabashira-sensei had also given us a hint.
Getting a score of fifty in all subjects on the entrance exam. What kind of weirdo would do that? You're not Saiki Kusuo!
No, Saiki Kusuo wouldn't do something so eye-catching, would he?
And Kamio Tatsuya had always felt that guy was dangerous. If possible, Kamio Tatsuya didn't want to get involved with him.
As expected, it was right to trick Sakayanagi a little beforehand to get some interest.
Kamio Tatsuya rarely sighed: "It really is a troublesome matter."
After that, the rooftop fell into a brief silence. In the end, Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but speak first.
"Don't you want to ask me about Ayanokouji?"
"If you want to say it, you'll naturally say it. If you don't want to say it, what's the point of me asking?" Kamio Tatsuya glanced at her with contempt. "Besides, that guy gives me a bad feeling. If possible, I don't want to get involved with him."
In fact, Kamio Tatsuya felt that if possible, it would be better to just expel that guy.
"That's good. Please don't get involved with him in the future either."
Huh?
This really caught Kamio Tatsuya off guard.
What do you mean by that?
Kamio Tatsuya wasn't sure what Sakayanagi Arisu meant. Don't get involved with him...
Is she afraid that Ayanokouji will do something to me?
No, we're not that close. You don't need to worry about me, and if that's the case, then it would be more effective to have Kamuro say it, rather than you coming here in person.
So, she's afraid that I'll do something to Ayanokouji?
Tsk, so they're not in a relationship after all.
So... who exactly is Ayanokouji?
Kamio Tatsuya began to feel a little curious...
No, no, I can't be curious!
Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?!
"So you went to all this trouble just to tell me that?"
"A trivial matter to you is a very important matter to me."
Indeed, although he didn't understand, Kamio Tatsuya chose to respect it.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Kamio Tatsuya cleaned up the trash he had created and stood up.
"So you're agreeing?"
"I won't do anything to him... That's what you wanted to hear, right?"
Seeing Sakayanagi nod, Kamio Tatsuya understood: "If he doesn't provoke me, I won't do anything to him."
"That's natural."
Sakayanagi Arisu nodded, then breathed a slight sigh of relief.
In fact, Kamio Tatsuya was a little speechless about today's conversation, because the promise he made was the same as not making a promise at all.
He'll still do what he's going to do next.
Looking at Kamio Tatsuya's indifferent expression, Sakayanagi sighed in her heart.
Kamio-kun, I'm doing this for your own good. You have no idea how terrifying Ayanokouji is.
If Kamio Tatsuya heard this, he would probably laugh his head off.
I don't know how terrifying Ayanokouji is?
Heh, you have no idea how powerful someone with a system is!
Even if I haven't grown up yet, I'll always grow up one day!
And my recent moves have only been casual, but they've had such ideal results. You actually dare to underestimate me.
Besides, didn't I successfully trick you?
Genius?
So-so!
But the request this girl made doesn't seem too excessive...
Uh, now that I think about it, it seems like I'm the one who's going too far...
I feel a little sorry for Sakayanagi.
Ahem, I need to run quickly, or I'll start feeling guilty.
