Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

Looking at Sakayanagi in front of him, and Kamuro Masumi following beside her, Kamio Tatsuya spoke without hesitation.

Kamuro is completely treated like a follower by Sakayanagi.

but it does not matter.

Even though she's your follower, I can still use her!

Chapter 43 So what if they're in Class A? They still have to pay up!

Seeing the puzzled look on Kamio Tatsuya's face, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled happily.

"Can I sit here?"

Looking at the seat opposite that Sakayanagi was pointing to, Kamio Tatsuya twitched his lips speechlessly.

There's no one there, and the school isn't owned by my family. You can sit wherever you want!

Besides, if I say no, do you think you'll just obediently leave?

No, you'll definitely insist on finishing what you're saying even if you're standing, and then I might get a reputation for bullying little girls.

Besides, you've already sat down, haven't you?

Why do you even need to ask me?

So annoying!

"Please sit down." After saying that, Tatsuya Kamio looked at Masumi Kamuro beside him. "Aren't you going to sit down?"

Kamuro Masumi was very pleased and then sat down next to Sakayanagi.

They arrived at the cafeteria before Kamio Tatsuya and had already eaten lunch. However, as they were preparing to leave, they saw Kamio Tatsuya sitting alone in a secluded spot.

So, Sakayanagi decided to say hello, and first sent a message to Kamio Tatsuya on his phone to attract his attention.

Then, taking advantage of the slightly noisy environment of the cafeteria, they quietly arrived at Kamio Tatsuya's side.

Therefore, Sakayanagi noticed the conflicted look on Kamio Tatsuya's face after he rejected the deal.

However, just as she had guessed, Tatsuya Kamio did not readily admit that there was any hesitation on his face.

However, she didn't mind. After sitting down, she directly asked Kamio Tatsuya, "So, Kamio-kun, what have you thought about the deal?"

"I reject."

Upon hearing this, Sakayanagi's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. Kamio Tatsuya's refusal was within her expectations, but...

"So you're admitting that you're the anonymous person who posted the message?"

"Of course I don't admit it. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"If you won't admit it, then why did you refuse my invitation on their behalf?" Sakayanagi muttered to himself with a smile. "If Kamio-kun wasn't that anonymous person, his answer just now would have been, 'Hmm—I already said, you've got the wrong person.'"

The words spoken in the manner of Tatsuya Kamio left Tatsuya Kamio speechless.

Damn, I'm definitely not suited for this kind of behind-the-scenes role. I was seen through immediately and even tested.

“You’ve got the wrong person. I swear in the name of the Japanese Prime Minister that if I’m lying, may he suffer a terrible death.”

Hearing Tatsuya Kamio's vow and seeing his upright expression, Masumi Kamuro felt that something was not quite right.

Only Sakayanagi Arisu's lips twitched.

"Do you hate the current prime minister that much?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio smirked coldly. "Anyone who has ever visited a toilet should just die, okay?"

Upon hearing Sakayanagi's words, Kamuro Masumi realized that she had been tricked.

Who would swear on someone else's life? Really.

But does this mean that Tatsuya Kamio really was the anonymous person who posted the message?

His scheme was so clever that even the ruthless Sakayanagi couldn't crack it.

Humans are naturally drawn to strength, and without realizing it, Masumi Kamuro developed a subtle admiration for Tatsuya Kamio that she herself was unaware of.

After some probing, although Tatsuya Kamio did not admit to being the anonymous person, the two of them knew the truth perfectly well.

However, Tatsuya Kamio was not worried at all about Sakayanagi spreading the news that he was the anonymous person.

Since she has no evidence, all the accusations are slander.

If she dares to slander.

Kamio Tatsuya then directly told the teacher.

Just like in a business war, if you discover that a competitor is using inferior raw materials, the simplest and most straightforward thing to do is to report them.

Moreover, if the school ignores this, then Tatsuya Kamio will have something to say.

Rumors are something anyone can spread.

After finishing his meal and returning to the classroom, Tatsuya Kamio posted on the forum using an anonymous account, hoping that Class A could provide each student in Class D with 20,000 private points, otherwise, the students in Class D might do something unexpected.

That means there were twice as many as the other two classes.

After seeing this news, the students in Class D, who had originally planned to be hired by Longyuan, were somewhat bewildered.

"It seems that the mastermind behind Class D doesn't want to be hired by Longyuan."

"Should we still do it?"

"What does it matter? Class A hasn't given us any points yet anyway."

Ever since Ichi learned that his partner Yamauchi had extorted 100,000 points from Ryuen, he has become very interested in Ryuen's mercenary missions.

So they immediately organized a team to prepare for action.

However, after Tatsuya Kamio sent out the message, the students immediately hesitated.

Seeing this, Chi became somewhat anxious.

"Think about it, Class A was the one who looked down on us first. If we don't teach them a lesson, how are we supposed to get protection money from them?"

"That's right, we're not trying to fulfill Longyuan's employment obligation. We just want to fight for the interests of our class so that all our classmates can have living expenses!"

With Ike and Yamauchi working together, they quickly calmed the group down.

The two were talking loudly, and many girls in the class looked at them with disdain, especially Yamauchi.

This made Tatsuya Kamio shake his head again.

Hopeless.

These guys in Class D are hopeless.

Let's not discuss their motives for now.

However, if they were to cause trouble, Class A would indeed be more likely to pay protection money.

And these protection fees are your living expenses. How dare you look down on them because of this?

Moreover, to be honest, although Kamio Tatsuya was behind this, without Yamauchi's reckless attack, Ryuen's Class C and Ichinose's Class B would not have handed over their points so easily.

No matter how unreliable Yamauchi's actions were, for this one move alone, the idiots in Class D must remember Yamauchi's kindness.

And now you all despise him, despise NM.

They eat from the bowl and then curse the cook. If they're so capable, why don't they stop taking kickbacks from Hirata?

A bunch of idiots, on par with Yamauchi, no, even worse than Yamauchi!

Although he wasn't trying to stand up for Yamauchi, seeing this scene made Kamio Tatsuya completely disappointed with Class D.

Meanwhile, Sakayanagi, who was far away in Class A, simply smiled slightly after noticing the news on the forum.

How childish, Kamio-kun.

After school in the afternoon, before the students of Class D left the classroom, Katsuragi from Class A brought a student from Class A to the door of Class D.

The incident on the forum has been making headlines in the first grade these past two days, and even the teachers have heard about it.

The teachers were even interested in betting on whether Class D's plan would succeed.

Now, seeing Katsuragi from Class A arrive at the door of Class D, Sae-chan knows that she has won her gamble.

Before leaving the classroom, he glanced at Tatsuya Kamio, who was packing up to leave, and thought to himself that Class D had struck gold this time.

Chapter Forty-Four: An Encounter at the Library

Kamio Tatsu wasn't interested in listening to Katsuragi and Hirata's conversation, but since Katsuragi had backed down, it meant that the harassment from Yamauchi and Ike's group had been effective.

Following Class B and Class C, Tatsuya Kamio also received a total of 800,000 private points from Class A.

It must be said that designating Hirata Yosuke as the contact person was absolutely the right decision; there is no possibility of embezzlement.

As time went by, Tatsuya Kamio's life became very regular. He listened attentively in class, and after school, Horikita would explain the problems he didn't understand to him.

After that, I read the books I had borrowed from the library.

The book is not long, but because Tatsuya Kamio read it carefully and thought about it, he didn't finish reading it until Friday.

It truly deserves its worldwide renown; it's absolutely fantastic!

Closing the book in his hand, Tatsuya Kamio walked to the library's checkout counter, ready to return it.

"Oh, so it was here. I was wondering why I couldn't find it these past few days."

While Tatsuya Kamio was returning the book, a girl with long, silver-gray hair suddenly approached him and started talking.

Not only that, she even picked up the book that Tatsuya Kamio had placed on the table.

Kamio Tatsuya turned his head to look and felt that the other person's aura was very ethereal and the light in his eyes was very pure.

Are there really girls like this in school?

Even Tatsuya Kamio found it somewhat unbelievable.

"I apologize for my abruptness. I am Hiyori Shiina from Class 1-C. Nice to meet you."

"Class 1-D, Tatsuya Kamio."

After I introduced myself, the other person immediately started chatting.

"Does Kamio-san also like mystery novels? I wanted to find this book a few days ago, but the librarian said it was checked out."

"Reading novels is just a way to relax after studying, but this book is very well written," Tatsuya Kamio replied.

Upon hearing this, Hiyori Shiina smiled and said, "Actually, I really like mystery novels, but there are basically no people like me in Class C. It's great to meet someone with the same hobby at school."

If Kamio-san doesn't mind, could we exchange reading experiences?

Kamio Tatsuya never imagined that the reason he would be approached by a strange girl for the first time in this world would be because he also liked reading novels...

what?

You said Horikita also tried to chat me up?

How can that be calculated?

Moreover, what she did wasn't exactly flirting; it was questioning.

As for Kamuro, Tatsuya Kamio is the one taking the initiative.

I was approached by a strange girl, and such a pretty one at that.

Even Tatsuya Kamio couldn't help but feel that his mood had improved considerably.

As for whether the other party was sent by Ryuen to deliberately approach him, Kamio Tatsuya was not worried at all.

Who would use their beauty to seduce a nobody character?

It’s not worth it!

So Tatsuya Kamio simply nodded.

"No problem, but I have to go back first today. Let's discuss our experiences later when we have a chance."

Hiyori Shiina smiled and nodded, then took her phone out of her pocket.

"By the way, let's exchange some contact information."

Kamio Tatsu did not refuse. This was the umpteenth woman's contact information in his phone besides Kushida, Horikita, Asahina, Kamuro, Sakayanagi, and so on.
