The next day, Katsuragi replied to Kamio Tatsuya, saying that the matter was settled.
He didn't say the details, and Kamio Tatsuya didn't ask. He just told him to report to the student council office after school on the first day of the second semester.
After lying around at home for another two days, Kamio Tatsuya was dragged out of his room by Kamuro.
"I'm just saying, Masumi, isn't it nice to stay in the dorm and enjoy a lazy summer vacation in this hot weather? Why do you have to go out?"
Looking at the bright sun outside, Kamio Tatsuya looked hopeless.
"I don't care. Anyway, you owe me this."
Kamuro, dressed in casual clothes, pulled Kamio Tatsuya towards the shopping center.
"Wait, I do owe you a date, but Masumi, don't you owe me something too? How about we call it even?"
As soon as he said this, Kamuro glared at him.
"You mean you can go out with Shiina, but not with me?"
Kamio Tatsuya immediately shut up.
Speaking of which, he brought this on himself. Why did he have to say he bought the hairpin while shopping with Shiina?
"Ahem, Masumi, where do you want to go?"
Hearing this, Kamuro looked at Kamio Tatsuya, then sized him up.
"What are you looking at?"
"I was thinking, you have a good-looking face, so why is your fashion sense so bad?"
Hey, you just said it straight out.
Isn't that a bit rude?
And I think the clothes I'm wearing are fine.
Isn't the point of clothes to make it easier to move around?
Then Kamio Tatsuya saw the somewhat excited look on Kamuro's face.
"Wait, what are you planning to do?"
"Of course, I'm going to give you a total makeover. Let's go."
Kamio Tatsuya felt hopeless again. First, he was going to be roasted by the sun, and then he had to go shopping with a girl?
Just kill me!
And so, Kamio Tatsuya was dragged by Kamuro to a trendy clothing store. He often heard about this store in class during the first semester.
He never thought he would actually come here one day.
As soon as they entered the store, they saw more than a dozen couples, or people who were in that almost-relationship phase.
Oh well, now that I'm here, I might as well relax.
If someone helps me pick out clothes, it will save Kamio Tatsuya a lot of trouble.
Well… after changing his thinking, Kamio Tatsuya suddenly didn't feel so bad.
"Tatsuya doesn't like wearing shirts, right?"
"You even know that?"
Kamio Tatsuya was a little surprised.
"Because I've never seen you wear a shirt other than your school uniform."
That's true, he doesn't really like shirts. They have buttons to deal with, T-shirts are more convenient. You just grab one and pull it over your head.
"I do like T-shirts more than shirts."
Kamuro looked Kamio Tatsuya up and down for a while, then walked around the store for a bit. When she came back, she had a T-shirt and pants in her hand.
"Try this."
Taking the clothes from Kamuro, Kamio Tatsuya didn't think they were anything special.
"It feels pretty normal."
"Huh?" Kamuro immediately looked unhappy. "Are you questioning me, a member of the art club?"
Ha, so what if you're a member of the art club? I'm the vice president of the student council. Am I bragging?
I could make sure the art club's funding request doesn't get approved, Miss Masumi.
"No, no."
Kamio Tatsuya muttered a few words, then took the clothes and went into the fitting room.
After changing, he made sure to look in the mirror... It didn't feel any different than usual, right?
"How is it?"
Kamio Tatsuya moved around a bit. He felt that Kamuro had good taste in clothes. Appearance aside, at least the size was right, and it didn't restrict his movement.
And the material was very comfortable, which made Kamio Tatsuya very satisfied.
"It's a little better than before, but it still feels like something's missing." Kamuro looked Kamio Tatsuya up and down, talking to herself. "Is it the hairstyle?"
Hairstyle?
Kamio Tatsuya touched his hair.
Kamio Tatsuya's hairstyle was similar to Horikita Manabu's, with medium-length bangs covering his forehead, and his hair was thick.
Hopefully, I can keep this much hair when I'm old.
"I also think it's the hair, it must be too thick. No wonder I always feel hot."
Then Kamuro walked directly in front of Kamio Tatsuya, reached out, and brushed his hair back, revealing Kamio Tatsuya's forehead. Kamuro suddenly had an idea.
"I see, let's take this opportunity to get a haircut."
Kamuro was secretly pleased, because she would be the first person to see Kamio Tatsuya after he got his hair done.
After changing back into his original clothes, Kamio Tatsuya took the clothes Kamuro picked out and paid the bill before leaving.
Then Kamuro took Kamio Tatsuya to a hair salon she often went to.
Maybe it was because there were fewer people due to the summer vacation, or maybe Kamio Tatsuya was just lucky, but the salon happened to be empty at the moment.
"Welcome, how can I help you?"
"Give him a hairstyle that shows his forehead, and as for the rest of the hair..."
From beginning to end, Kamio Tatsuya didn't say a word. Kamuro was the one talking to the hairdresser the whole time.
"Sir, what do you think?"
I think just cut it however, Kamio Tatsuya wasn't sure what the end result of what Kamuro had just said would be, but it would definitely be a lot of trouble.
"I think... um, I'll leave it all up to her."
Seeing that Kamio Tatsuya was so understanding, Kamuro nodded in satisfaction.
Cutting, applying chemicals, and getting a perm took a full three hours.
How to put it…it feels so clear, no matter how I move, my vision won't be blocked by my hair.
Of course, none of that matters. The important thing is that Miss Kamuro seems very satisfied.
"Okay, let's go have dinner together."
Yeah, after all that, it's time for dinner.
Seeing that Kamuro seemed to be in a good mood, Kamio Tatsuya planned to tell her about that matter later.
"Masumi, what do you want to eat?"
"Barbecue, or ramen maybe?"
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Kamuro Masumi with a strange expression.
Ramen?
Actually, Kamio Tatsuya had wanted to ask this for a while. In Japan, girls usually don't want to eat ramen, right?
Kamio Tatsuya had hardly ever seen girls eating ramen at school.
And not just ramen, Kamuro also seemed to like eating barbecue. He had been with her once before.
"W-what?"
Kamuro was a little flustered by Kamio Tatsuya's look.
"No, I just think, Masumi, you're a girl, so how can you like ramen and barbecue so much..."
Before Kamio Tatsuya could finish speaking, he saw Kamuro's murderous gaze.
"Do you want to die!?"
"No way!" Kamio Tatsuya changed his face in an instant. "Then please, Miss Masumi, accompany me to eat barbecue. I really like eating beef belly."
It wasn't that ramen wasn't okay, but because he was going to confess something to Kamuro, ramen shops weren't suitable for that kind of environment.
Barbecue restaurants with private rooms are more reliable, and we don't have to worry about being eavesdropped on.
At the barbecue restaurant, Kamio Tatsuya booked a bigger and more secluded private room, then ordered a pile of signature meats.
After spreading the barbecue all over the grill, Kamio Tatsuya hesitated for a moment, then decided to confess something to Kamuro.
"Masumi, I actually have something I want to tell you."
"I could tell. You've been acting hesitant since just now. That's not like you," Kamuro said casually while flipping the thin slices of beef belly with tongs.
"Actually, I'm planning to transfer to Class C in the second semester."
Clang!
The tongs in Kamuro's hands fell straight onto the table, making a crisp sound.
I'm screwed…
I'm probably not going to get beaten to death, am I?
But the scene he expected didn't happen. Kamuro didn't show any signs of anger, she just quietly lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Kamio Tatsuya couldn't see her expression either. In the large private room, the only sound was the sizzling of the meat being roasted.
"Sorry, I just didn't hold it properly."
Kamuro picked up the tongs that had fallen on the table again, then looked up and said softly, as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the calm Kamuro, Kamio Tatsuya became uneasy instead.
"Masumi, aren't you going to ask me why?"
"No need." Kamuro flipped the barbecue over. "Since you're willing to tell me this, it means I haven't been kicked out yet."
I'm so touched…
"Masumi, I won't let you get kicked out!"
Hearing Kamio Tatsuya's words, Kamuro didn't look very happy. Instead, she asked, "Are you saying you're giving up on Shiina?"
"Uh, I didn't say that."
Kamio Tatsuya's answer was met with a cold laugh from Kamuro.
"Hmph, do you think you're Ryuta Watanabe?"
"Ryuta Watanabe?" Question marks popped up on Kamio Tatsuya's forehead. "Who's that?"
"Why don't you look him up?"
Kamio Tatsuya took out his phone and typed Ryuta Watanabe's name into Google.
After reading about this guy, Kamio Tatsuya was shocked!
Holy crap!
Ryuta Watanabe has four wives and two girlfriends. His wives and girlfriends know each other, and they even live together.
He hasn't even worked for years, and is supported by these women. He's practically the ultimate gigolo!
Mr. Watanabe, you are a role model for us!
But why does Kamuro know about this person? Could it be, hee hee hee...
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Kamuro across from him with a smile, but Kamuro responded with a disgusted look. "Your expression is disgusting!"
"Ahem, Masumi, I'm not the same as Mr. Watanabe!" Kamio Tatsuya regained his serious expression.
"Mr. Watanabe? You're using honorifics now?" Kamuro showed a disgusted expression again. "You're really a jerk at heart."
"No, no, there are still differences. At least I'll earn enough money to support all of you!"
Ouch!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kamio Tatsuya felt a sharp pain in the back of his foot.
"Wait until you can actually earn that much."
"So you're agreeing?"
Kamio Tatsuya was pleasantly surprised. What's a little pain in the back of his foot? Let the storm rage on!
"I didn't say that."
Kamuro didn't give an inch, but Kamio Tatsuya was already satisfied.
This world is also a modern society, a society ruled by law. Japanese law stipulates that marriage is between one man and one woman.
Even if Kamio Tatsuya is from another world and has a system, it probably won't be easy to enjoy the blessings of having many partners.
After all, he hopes that everyone can live together peacefully, instead of turning the house into a chaotic mess every day.
As for deceiving them, supporting Miyatchi or a secret lover, Kamio Tatsuya is not very willing to do that either. If he's going to do it, he's going to do it openly! If he's going to do it, they'll do it together!
And Kamuro's attitude today gave him a chance to solve this problem.
Masumi, you're really great!
Good, keep up the good work!
Kamio Tatsuya was full of motivation!
In any case, he should first earn enough money to support a family. In modern society, money isn't everything, but you can't do anything without it.
When he was looking through student council files the other day, Kamio Tatsuya discovered this piece of information.
When high school seniors graduate, they can convert the points they have in their accounts into Japanese yen at a certain rate.
Kamio Tatsuya wasn't sure about the exact rate, but in any case, Kamio Tatsuya felt that earning private points had become a necessity.
And besides that, he also had to think about what he would do after graduation.
But that's not urgent. What he should do now is fill his stomach first.
