In fact, I can add unlimited points

This really cost a lot of money!

It seems that what Karuizawa asked him for was really important to her.

"Where are we going now?"

After paying the bill, Karuizawa looked at Aragaki Shun with a twinkle in her eyes. She thought she was mentally prepared, but it turned out that she was too naive.

"My dorm? Your dorm? Or some other place without surveillance? You choose one."

Aragaki Shun stood up, deliberately putting aside these options, and looked at Karuizawa Megumi's reaction with interest.

As expected, the girl was obviously shaken at this moment, with a hint of panic and uneasiness in her purple eyes.

But she still forced herself to put on a cute smile, and used an ambiguous tone to shorten the distance between them. "If Aragaki-san wants, I can do it."

Aragaki Shun shifted his gaze somewhat boredly. Perhaps in the eyes of normal people, there was nothing wrong with the image of the hot girl played by Karuizawa Megumi, but the boy's intuition, which had reached the peak of human nature, was enough to allow him to instinctively perceive many situations that were difficult for the naked eye to understand.

Without any other reason, Aragaki Shun was convinced that everything the other party showed was a disguise.

"In that case, come with me."

Leaving behind these words to let Karuizawa make the choice, Aragaki Shun walked ahead on his own, not caring at all whether the other party would follow him or not.

And it was obvious that Karuizawa Kei, who had been suffering for more than a month, had no intention of escaping halfway.

In this way, the two of them walked around several corners, one in front and one behind, and came straight to the club building.

Aragaki Shun took Karuizawa to open the activity room of the Cultural Entertainment Club. At this time, most people went to the cafeteria for dinner, and there were no other people from Class A in the Cultural Entertainment Club.

"Excuse me..."

Karuizawa Kei followed him into the classroom, and when she saw that the final destination was not the boys' dormitory as she had imagined, the panic in her heart instinctively dissipated a lot.

But this seems to prove that Aragaki Shun is not actually that interested in her.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but start to worry again.

"This is the club classroom I applied for. There are no surveillance cameras installed."

Aragaki Shun gestured for Karuizawa to sit on the sofa and poured a drink on the coffee table in front of her. After she relaxed a little, he frankly laid everything out in the open -

"Now, Karuizawa-san, can you explain all this to me?"

"Aragaki-san, um, I..."

"If you're trying to confess your feelings to me and say you want to be my girlfriend, then don't go on!"

Aragaki Shun interrupted the girl's hesitation, her words clearly a lie, "When I was in junior high, I also met many girls who were obsessed with love. Your performance is far from their true feelings."

"Forget it, keep it simple! Just tell me what you want from me. What can you do for me?"

100. The Outlook of the Strongest Creature on Earth; a Clearly Priced Transaction

What do I want to get from Aragaki-san? What can I do for her?

Karuizawa Kei never thought that Aragaki Shun would ask this question so directly.

She had originally planned to pretend to be the boy's admirer, then slowly reveal her past and gradually arouse his sympathy.

But she didn't expect that he would see through her plan at a glance and force her into a corner with nowhere to escape.

"I......"

Karuizawa Kei's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes wandered, as if she was looking for something to rely on.

Aragaki Shun watched the girl's struggle indifferently. He was not softened by her lovely appearance. Instead, he said bluntly, "I don't mind if you want to use me to achieve your goals, but the prerequisite is that you have that level of value yourself."

"It seems that you are indeed hiding some unspeakable past in your heart, and it is these things that compel you to take the initiative to show your kindness to me. However, I am not interested in your hidden secrets. You don't need to worry about me getting to the bottom of it."

"I still say the same thing. What do you want to gain? What can you give? If I think this deal is reasonable, I naturally don't mind agreeing to your request."

In fact, Aragaki Shun himself still prefers transactions with clearly marked prices between both parties.

You bring out your goods, I bring out my bargaining chips, and as long as both the buyer and the seller are willing, we can trade immediately, the money and goods are settled, and there is no need for anything else to get involved.

Unfortunately, the reality is not that simple. Most of the time, communication between people cannot be equated with shopping in a supermarket. It involves too many human factors and emotional entanglements.

Just like he had never actually thought about becoming the heir of the Aragaki family at the beginning. After all, when he was brought to the Aragaki family at the age of five, he was just an ordinary adopted son adopted by his adoptive father on a whim.

At that time, my adopted sister Ayase was only three years old, and my adoptive parents wanted to have a few more children. Even if they couldn't have any, the inheritance rights would still be with Ayase. If Ayase was not suitable, there would be people from other branches of the Aragaki family who could take over.

If he wanted to, he could have fought for it, but as a human being in two lives and returning to his childhood with the memories of his previous life, it was really difficult for Aragaki Shun to fully identify himself as a member of the Aragaki family in this world.

In other words, he can regard his adoptive parents and Ayase as relatives, and is willing to do his best to help the Aragaki family in the future to the best of his ability, but if he is asked to inherit everything of the Aragaki family and take on that responsibility, it always feels a little bit lacking.

To put it more clearly, the only people he recognized in the Aragaki family were his adoptive parents and Ayase. He didn't have much impression of the other members of the family, so he had no intention of inheriting the family name.

So when he grew up a little, he tried to step into the field of light novels, and eventually became the signature writer of the same library together with Senjumura Masaru. The main reason for this was of course to expand his influence and accumulate source power, but on the other hand, there was also the consideration of being self-reliant and being able to support himself in the future.

However, during this process, he seemed to perform a little too well, causing his adoptive parents, who had never given birth to other children, to inexplicably set their sights on him.

To be honest, he actually hoped that Ayase could have a younger brother to inherit the family business.

As for himself, he just wanted to be an ordinary member of the Aragaki family, occasionally use the Aragaki family's name to solve some troubles, and then work hard to build a family business outside.

After all, according to his values, since he has accepted the rights, he should assume the corresponding responsibilities.

If he was just an ordinary adopted son of the Aragaki family, he would only need to find a way to repay the kindness of his adoptive parents, but if he inherited the entire Aragaki family, he would have too much to bear.

For the time being, Aragaki Shun can harvest at least 4 source powers every month. Even without any additional achievements, he can save 48 in a year.

With his physical fitness now reaching the limit of human beings and being immune to all diseases, he would have no problem living another hundred years.

In fact, it doesn't take a hundred years, just a dozen or so years. Once all his attributes are strengthened to above 20, and combined with some consciousness control skills, he will be able to initially transform into the strongest creature on the earth and make the entire human society revolve according to his will.

In this case, if he considers it purely rationally, he should actually break away from the causal relationship of the world, not be disturbed by the outside world, survive for a dozen years, and then come out without eating beef after he becomes invincible.

In the face of this consideration, inheriting the Aragaki family is unnecessary. He shouldn't even attach too much importance to his adoptive parents and Ayase and the others. After all, to a certain extent, bonds are also weaknesses.

But humans are not purely rational creatures. At least Shun Aragaki cannot erase all his emotions and consider everything for the sake of profit.

If he makes up his mind, he can indeed choose to keep himself out of it and directly refuse the Aragaki family's affairs. Then Ayase will have to bear the responsibility, and then his adoptive father will choose a capable son-in-law as the heir... It always feels uncomfortable, so he might as well do it himself.

He tried his best to become invincible, hoping to do whatever he wanted in the future, but this was no reason for him to suppress his nature and put himself in a difficult position now.

If his life was in danger, he would not be unable to endure the humiliation, but marrying Ayase and then inheriting the Aragaki family was obviously not such a case.

It's just that rationally, he has never wanted to get too deeply involved with anyone, so that when he lives forever in the future, he won't be moved by the old age and death of people around him.

Finally, he thought about it and decided to let it go. Matters of the heart should be left to nature. Even if he would be sad for a while in the future because of the theory of life span, he didn't want to fall into distortion and regret now.

I can't let Ayase marry someone else with tears in her eyes!

In a dozen years, I will become the strongest creature on earth. How can I bear this injustice now?

Get out of here with all that longevity theory!

Source power is omnipotent. At worst, he can just use one or two contract or blessing skills to be done with it!

Of course, this is only the case with Ayase. When facing the sister he has raised since childhood, Aragaki Shun will put aside the rational thinking of pure exchange of interests and choose to be willful.

Forget about the person in front of me, Karuizawa Megumi.

We don't know each other at all, so let's not talk about feelings. Let's just put all our chips on the table.

If we can talk, then talk. If we can’t, then forget it.

"Still hesitating?"

Calmly watching Karuizawa Megumi who kept on wanting to speak but couldn't, Aragaki Shun made a gesture to send her away, "I don't have much time to waste here with you. If you feel that now is not the right time, please think it over before coming to trade with me next time."

"No! No way!" Karuizawa Megumi's pupils suddenly widened. She seemed to be really anxious and could no longer sit still. She could only make her request to Aragaki Shun in a desperate manner, "Please, please be my umbrella of protection and make sure I won't be bullied in this school."

"As long as Aragaki-san can agree to this, then no matter what Aragaki-san asks me to pay, I can do it. Even if it's that..."

At this point, Karuizawa Kei finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and she collapsed dejectedly on the sofa, tears streaming down her face. Her sad posture made her look so pitiful.

In a trance, the girl seemed to have returned to the nightmare in junior high school. Because she was cute, she was dragged into the girls' restroom by the bad girls in the class even though she had done nothing wrong. Bucket after bucket of ice water was poured over her head, chilling her to the bone.

But she could only endure it silently, because she had tried to resist before, but was met with even more brutal abuse from those people.

She couldn't do anything on her own and could only remain silent while they bullied her. She thought that as long as she swallowed her anger and endured it, everything would be fine.

However, she didn't expect that her silence made those people even more violent, and eventually they even stabbed her in the abdomen.

At that time, Karuizawa Kei was so frightened that she really thought she was going to die.

But even though she struggled to survive, the scar left on the girl's left abdomen was still a constant reminder of the cruel bullying she had faced.

It was a scar that even time could not erase. Every time she saw the wound, her stomach would subconsciously cramp and she would feel nauseous!

So after she came to High School Development, she tried her best to hide her past, and imitated the bad girls who bullied her, creating an image of a strong and hot girl for herself, and tried her best to climb to the top of the class.

But that alone is not enough!

The pretended strength will eventually be exposed one day. When that happens, the group of girls who were once intimidated by her will definitely attack her out of anger. If the situation develops to the point where she is stabbed again, Karuizawa has no guarantee that she can survive.

Therefore, her disguise cannot be exposed, and she must always remain strong. If she cannot do it, then she will become a humble parasite, parasitizing the truly strong.

Even if I have to give up everything, as long as I can protect myself, it will be fine!

Even if you give up your dignity, freedom, and body, it is worth it as long as you no longer have to face that kind of hell.

Thinking of this, Karuizawa Hui endured the feeling of weakness all over her body, forced herself to cheer up, and once again expressed her attitude to Aragaki Shun——

"That's it! As long as Aragaki-san is willing to protect me, I'm willing to do anything."

"That's exactly what happened." Aragaki Shun nodded. This way, all the abnormalities with Karuizawa Megumi could be explained. "Then I want to know, how do you want me to protect you? After all, we are not in the same class, and I can't always keep an eye on you."

Seeing that Aragaki Shun did not object immediately, Karuizawa Kei was overjoyed and hurriedly put forward her own idea.

"I hope Aragaki-san can pretend to date me. Of course, this won't affect Aragaki-san's ability to find a real girlfriend. And if Aragaki-san wants, I can fully assume all the responsibilities of a girlfriend."

As the leader of Class A who swept all the clubs at the beginning of the school year and then suppressed the three first-year classes, Shun Aragaki is undoubtedly at the top position among all the students in this school.

That's why she proposed to pretend to be in a relationship. When it comes to ways to improve her status in school, the girl can only come up with such a stupid idea.

In fact, she wanted to find Yosuke Hirata at first.

After all, the other party is not only the central figure of Class D, but also appears to be kind, selfless and helpful to others.

As long as you ask him for help, he will definitely agree.

The girl can easily get the umbrella she wants without even having to pay anything.

But Shun Aragaki suddenly came to Class D and exposed the truth about this school. She then learned that the four first-grade classes were actually competitors. More importantly, Class D was the worst of the four classes.

This forced Karuizawa Kei to change her mind. If the competition in this school was really so fierce, then it would definitely not be enough to just have a certain status in Class D.

The experience over the past month has also proved this.

As a member of the defective class D, he was naturally looked down upon by the upper classes.

Not to mention, there are the bad guys in Class C in the first grade who deliberately cause conflicts.

In this situation, she had to cling to someone with a higher status who was strong enough to suppress the entire first grade.

She doesn't need any youth, nor does she need any true love. All she wants is to protect herself, nothing more.

Karuizawa Kei looked at Aragaki Shun with empty eyes and nervousness. She had already put forward everything she could give, but she was still not sure whether the other party would agree to her request.

Over the past month, she has been paying attention to information about Aragaki Shun, trying to understand his personality, but so far she only roughly knows that he likes reading and eating, has a strong sense of responsibility, is very nice to the people in Class A, but when facing other classes, he will ruthlessly squeeze their points.

How should I put it? This is indeed a very suitable parasitic object. As long as he recognizes me as his own, I will feel absolutely safe.

But the problem is that the other party is too popular in this school. Even though she is confident about her appearance, she is not confident that the other party will agree to her request for a relationship.

Under Karuizawa Kei's increasingly anxious gaze, Aragaki Shun thought for a moment, but simply shook his head to reject the proposal, causing the girl's tense expression to turn towards collapse.

"I can provide you with a certain degree of protection, but forget about pretending to be in a relationship."

It's just a simple exchange of interests. This little bargaining chip is not worth it for Aragaki Shun to specially play the role of her boyfriend.

There's always light at the end of the tunnel. Karuizawa, who was almost in despair, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She stood up eagerly and looked at the leader of Class A again: "So what do I need to do?"

It doesn't matter whether we have a relationship or not, as long as I can protect her.

Karuizawa Hui knew that she was not very smart, and she was even more aware that she was just a parasite, so if the other party had a more appropriate method, she would definitely obey it obediently.

"It's simple. Since you have a certain status in Class D, why not use it to do something for Class A?"

"Do you want me to be an undercover agent in the class competition?"

Karuizawa Kei was a little surprised. This kind of thing was nothing to her. She thought she would receive some more stringent requirements.

However, Aragaki Shun denied her idea.
