After agreeing with Kamio Tatsuya to go with Sakura to fix her camera on Sunday, Kushida was about to turn and leave.
"Wait."
"What is it?"
"Isn't there a routine today?"
"Routine?"
Kushida looked confused. What was he talking about?
"I mean, aren't you going to yell at me?"
Seeing the strange look on Kamio Tatsuya's face, Kushida Kikyo's face visibly turned red.
"Go to hell, idiot!"
Watching Kushida Kikyo leave, Kamio Tatsuya felt speechless. What was all that about? Did I do anything to deserve that?
It's getting too much. I need to find a chance to teach her a lesson.
On Sunday, Kamio Tatsuya put on the short-sleeved shirt he bought at the mall yesterday. The weather in June is really getting hotter.
Even just walking in the hallway for a while made him feel hot.
This trash system, why hasn't it turned me into a superhero yet!
Why isn't there a daily reward?
Huh?
Look in my eyes!
Tell me why?
Why?
Bby
Why?
After complaining about the broken system in his head, Kamio Tatsuya suddenly felt refreshed.
When Kamio Tatsuya arrived at the agreed-upon spot on the first floor of the dorm, Kushida and Sakura hadn't arrived yet, so he just found a sofa to sit on. Because the air conditioning was on full blast, he didn't feel hot.
"Good day, Kamio-kun. Long time no see."
Hearing this voice, Kamio Tatsuya instinctively stood up straight from the sofa. Then, seeing Sakayanagi Arisu, he chose to quietly distance himself from her, hiding behind the sofa.
"Long time no see. Also, we aren't close. Could you stay away from me?"
Seeing Kamio Tatsuya avoiding her as if she were something dirty, even Sakayanagi Arisu, with her good manners, couldn't help but have a vein pop on her forehead.
"May I ask if I'm carrying some kind of germ? Is that why you're hiding so far away?"
"No, I'm just afraid you'll suddenly fall and try to scam me."
Hearing this, Sakayanagi not only didn't get angry, but her mood immediately improved. She felt like she had discovered Kamio Tatsuya's weakness.
"Don't worry, there are cameras everywhere in this school. I wouldn't do that."
"So, in places without cameras, you would do that?" Kamio Tatsuya's eyes were full of suspicion.
"Oh my, I didn't say that." Sakayanagi covered her mouth and giggled. "It's just, Kamio-kun, to imagine a weak and beautiful girl so badly, don't you think that's rude?"
Huh, are you kidding me?
Weak, beautiful girl?
Beautiful girl?
Girl?
A kid is still just a kid, calling her a girl?
I don't agree!
Also, isn't your personality bad enough already?
What are you pretending for?
Kamio Tatsuya didn't bother answering Sakayanagi's question. While keeping an eye on Sakayanagi's position, he began to look around everywhere.
"Is Kamio-kun looking for Masumi?"
It really sucks to have someone see right through you!
Kamio Tatsuya now understood Ryuen's feelings from before.
"Yeah, I'm looking for Masumi. I want her to take you away quickly."
Take... take away?
Sakayanagi's good mood was slightly disrupted at this moment. Couldn't he speak properly? Was he doing it on purpose?
You better mean "take" as in holding hands!
Just then, the elevator arrived on the first floor again. Kamuro walked out of the elevator, and was stunned to see Kamio Tatsuya and Sakayanagi facing each other with several meters of distance between them.
"What are you two doing?"
Before Sakayanagi could speak, Kamio Tatsuya answered first: "Sakayanagi wants to do something bad to me. I'd rather die than submit, so I had to hide far away."
Sakayanagi started laughing with anger. Do something bad to you?
What do you have that's worth doing something bad for?
You're really good at patting yourself on the back. Aren't you afraid you'll get a gold powder allergy?
Looking at the two goofing off, Kamuro suddenly covered her head and sighed. Why are they both like this?
They usually look so smart, why do they look like elementary school students now?
Even more childish than elementary school students.
"Aren't you going to get your summer uniform ready? Are you still going?" After hesitating for a moment, Kamuro spoke to Sakayanagi.
"Yes, of course I'm going, but..."
As she said this, she glanced at Kamio Tatsuya, her eyes shining with a mysterious light.
"But I think Kamio-kun should apologize to me. To think I would deliberately fall and then try to scam him, isn't that too much?"
Kamuro also understood why Kamio Tatsuya was hiding so far away.
I'll say it again, so childish!
"I'm leaving." Kamuro said, "And you, Kamio, although Sakayanagi isn't a good person, I don't think she would do something like deliberately try to scam you. You can relax."
"What do you mean I'm not a good person? Masumi, have you forgotten who tutored you before the mid-term exams?"
Sakayanagi narrowed her eyes at Kamuro, but Kamuro didn't flinch. She just stared at Kamio Tatsuya.
Being stared at like this, Kamio Tatsuya was too embarrassed to continue hiding. He walked out from behind the sofa and sat on it.
Anyway, he was still a few meters away from Sakayanagi now. Even if Sakayanagi made a rash move, Kamuro could stop her.
Seeing this, Kamuro nodded in satisfaction.
It seems he trusts me more.
"Aren't you going to buy your summer uniforms? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"No rush." Kamuro said as she walked over. "As for you, you usually stay home every Saturday and Sunday, why did you decide to go out today?"
Kamuro and Kamio Tatsuya don't meet often, but they actually keep in touch. They occasionally talk about things on Saturdays and Sundays.
Kamio Tatsuya's only interest is watching the balance in his phone increase, so he doesn't have much desire to go out and have fun.
Therefore, Kamuro was a bit surprised to see Kamio Tatsuya at this time and place today.
"A classmate's digital camera is broken. I'm going with her to Keyaki Mall Shopping Center to get it fixed."
Her?
Kamuro glanced at Kamio Tatsuya, then nodded. Then she spoke to Sakayanagi behind her, "Let's go."
"Oh my, congratulations, Kamio-kun. You successfully made Masumi angry."
Clearly, Sakayanagi knew Kamuro better than Kamio did, and could judge things just from her facial expressions.
As for Kamio Tatsuya, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
He seemed to be thinking – is she really angry? Why is she angry?
Actually, he was thinking – damn, she's jealous! She likes me!
At the same time, he was also a little worried that this was one of life's three great illusions – she likes me...
Seeing the troubled Kamio Tatsuya, Sakayanagi Arisu felt like she had won this round. She happily followed Kamuro out of the dorm building.
Not long after Kamuro and Sakayanagi left, Kamio Tatsuya received a text message from Kamuro.
[You owe me a date. I'll ask for it when I'm free.]
Seeing this, Kamio Tatsuya cheered up. What life's three great illusions? Get out of here!
[Of course, no problem.]
