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

"Didn't Kamio-san come here on the weekend before?"

The three chatted as they walked toward the electronics store, with Tatsuya Kamio and Kushida doing most of the talking, while Sakura quietly followed behind them, acting as a listener.

"I usually stay in my room on Saturdays and weekends to read or play games."

"Could it be that Kamio-kun is the kind of otaku?"

Kushida looked very surprised.

Damn it, who are you cursing?

"I just don't like spending money pointlessly."

As they walked, an electronics store came into view.

"I don't know if it can be fixed."

Looking at the electronics store in front of him, Sakura felt extremely nervous.

"It's just that the power supply won't turn on. It's probably just that a circuit on the motherboard broke. It's easy to repair."

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Kamio Tatsuya offered a casual word of comfort.

Chapter 80 I don't know much about cameras, but I do know a little about physics.

Kamio Tatsuya's words eased Sakura's tension a little, but she soon looked surprised.

"Huh? Kamio-kun actually knows about cameras? Wow, that's amazing."

If you think you know anything about cameras, you're overthinking it.

"I don't know anything about cameras, but I do know physics."

Kamio Tatsuya said casually, looking like a wise hermit.

"Well, that's still pretty impressive. I love taking pictures, but I know absolutely nothing about cameras."

I don't know if it's just Tatsuya Kamio's imagination, but I feel like Sakura's communication skills have improved a lot.

"Ah, we're here! I remember the repair counter is on the opposite side." Kushida, who was leading the way, seemed to be very familiar with the electronics store.

Soon, he led Tatsuya Kamio and Sakura to a repair counter located deep inside the electronics store.

However, as she approached the counter, Sakura stopped abruptly, a grim expression on her face, as if she had seen something she didn't want to see.

Her movements did not escape Tatsuya Kamio's observation. What was in front of him? Besides Kushida, there was only that slovenly-looking shop assistant.

Sakura shouldn't be the kind of person who judges by appearances, because she's never seen her show that kind of expression towards Yamauchi, since Yamauchi's sloppiness isn't much different from this shop assistant's.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, uh...that..."

Sakura hesitated for a moment, wanting to continue walking forward, but Tatsuya Kamio reached out and grabbed her.

"Wait, if you don't want to go, that's fine too. Give me the camera, I'll go ask."

Upon hearing this, Sakura's face showed a grateful expression.

"Thank you, Kamio-kun."

Then, she took out a small pink camera and a card from her bag, which was the camera's manufacturer's warranty.

"Find a place to rest over here. There's a bench over there. Wait for us there. I'll be right back."

Sakura Airi nodded, and then sat quietly on the bench as Kamio Tatsuya had instructed.

By the time Kamio Tatsuya reached the counter with his camera, Kushida had already explained the situation. At that moment, Kushida and the middle-aged clerk were chatting happily.

However, in Tatsuya Kamio's opinion, the shop assistant might be genuinely happy, but Kushida must be quite annoyed at the moment.

He was actively trying to strike up a conversation with Kushida, and when Kamio Tatsuya came over, he was even inviting Kushida to go to the cinema to watch a female idol concert that was currently showing.

See that? Kushida-chan, that guy is the real otaku, not me!

If you call me a homebody again, I'm going to get angry!

However, Kushida didn't show any sign of dislike, which gave the guy the illusion that he could ask Kushida out.

Seeing this, Kamio Tatsu admired her greatly. Putting herself in her shoes, if Kamio Tatsu were also a woman and someone like that approached her, she definitely wouldn't be able to stand it.

They might just kick him in the face.

However, this guy looks to be over thirty years old. Is it allowed by the school for him to hit on teenage girls?

"Can I take a look at the camera?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio did not hand the camera directly to him, but instead looked at his name tag; this guy was just a salesman.

So, Tatsuya Kamio looked around before turning his gaze back to him.

"Doesn't your store have a resident repair engineer?"

"I'm very sorry, I'm just a repairman and part-time shop assistant," the disheveled shop assistant said with a smile.

Kamio Tatsuya stared at him for a few seconds, making him somewhat uneasy, before finally handing him the camera.

Although the guy looked careless, he quickly disassembled and inspected the camera after receiving it.

"Hmm~ I think it's because the impact damaged some parts, so it can't be turned on," the salesperson quickly concluded. "Do you have the manufacturer's warranty?"

Kamio Tatsuya handed over the things that Sakura had given him earlier.

"It was indeed purchased here, and it's still under warranty. The repair time will be about two weeks." After checking the manufacturer's warranty certificate, the clerk added, "If you need repairs, you just need to fill out this repair form."

Very strange.

Even though it was Tatsuya Kamio who brought the camera, the shop assistant's eyes were fixed on Sakura, who was sitting on an indoor bench not far away.

Kamio Tatsuya shifted his body, blocking his view.

"Isn't it possible to fix it immediately? Since we know it's a damaged part, can't we just replace the part?"

"Please don't make things difficult for me, sir."

I don't want to put you in a difficult position?

You're making things difficult for me, you bastard!

Tatsuya Kamio actually has some experience in repairing these small appliances. In his previous life, when he was in middle school, he was the one who fixed the tape recorder in his family when it broke down.

So after taking the camera apart, he quickly figured out what was wrong with it.

A wire on the motherboard is broken; it should be fixed immediately if you just solder it back on.

As he spoke, Kamio Tatsuya took the disassembled camera and placed the wire in the appropriate position.

Then I used my other fingers to press the power button.

The camera screen lit up immediately, just as Tatsuya Kamio had predicted.

"It's just a broken wire, yet it takes two weeks to repair. I find it hard to believe in your work efficiency with this kind of service attitude."

As he spoke, ignoring the surprised expressions of the shop assistant and Kushida, he took the other parts of the camera and then reassembled the camera.

"Kushida, let's go."

"Huh? Aren't you going to fix it?"

"No need. I'll just buy a set of tools from a hardware store. I can fix this little problem myself." Kamio Tatsuya smiled confidently.

Watching the two leave, the electronics store clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

"H-how is it?"

Sakura seemed very nervous when she saw Tatsuya Kamio return with a camera.

"Let's go to the hardware store, Kushida, could you please show us the way?"

"Five, a hardware store?"

Sakura was a little confused, but she still followed Kushida and Kamio.

Upon arriving at the hardware store, I found that the saleswoman was a young and beautiful woman, a complete opposite of the middle-aged man I had met earlier.

Here, Tatsuya Kamio quickly found what he wanted—a soldering pen set.

"Could I borrow your workbench?"

Although the hardware store owner didn't know what Kamio Tatsu was planning to do, he still lent it to him very generously.

Next, Tatsuya Kamio borrowed a screwdriver and disassembled the camera again.

"It's just a broken cable on the motherboard; it'll be fine after a quick connection."

Kamio Tatsuya smiled confidently, then put on rubber gloves, turned on the soldering iron, and began working with the soldering iron in one hand and the solder wire in the other.

In less than a minute, he soldered the broken wire on the camera back on.

"Okay, give it a try."

Sakura took the camera from Tatsuya Kamio and instinctively pressed the power button, and the screen immediately lit up.

"It's lit up, the screen is lit up."

Sakura's face showed visible joy.

"Give it to me, and I'll put it back for you."

After working for a few more minutes, Kamio Tatsuya put the camera back in its case.

"for you."

"Thank you, Kamio-kun."

Chapter 81 Reporting to the Student Council

After leaving the hardware store, Tatsuya Kamio ended up with a soldering pen set worth 800 points. It included not only soldering pens but also several pieces of solder wire. He also bought a set of screwdrivers of various sizes.

In his previous life, Kamio Tatsuya loved tinkering with these things when he was young, and even dreamed of becoming a repairman when he grew up.

Unfortunately, this dream was never realized.

"If any of your appliances break down in the future, maybe I can help."

As they stepped out of the store, Tatsuya Kamio said, half-jokingly.

"Then I'll come to you if I need anything."

Kushida immediately seized the opportunity and took over the topic with a smile.

Hey, I was just kidding, why did you take it seriously?

"But why did Kamio-kun want to fix it himself? If you leave it with the manufacturer, it will be slower, but it will be free."

Good question!

Kikyo Kushida, you really know how to ask questions. As expected of my best teammate, I won't charge you next time I listen to your complaints. How about that? Aren't I very kind?

However, Tatsuya Kamio did not answer Kushida, but instead looked at Sakura behind him.

Since I did something for her, of course I should let her know, otherwise I would have done it for nothing!

"Sakura-san, you should know that shop assistant, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Sakura nodded, her face showing obvious disgust.

“He’s hit on me several times before, and I… I’ve rejected him, but… that’s why I’m afraid to go and do the repairs myself…”

Oh, I see. So that's how it is.

Ugh, men who are persistent and clingy are the most disgusting!

Kushida immediately realized, "No wonder you agreed so quickly when I said I would invite Kamio to come along."

Sakura nodded shyly, if there was anyone in this class she could trust.

That must be Tatsuya Kamio, who once stood up for her because someone spoke ill of her.

Kamio Tatsuya was a boy, and he easily defeated Yamauchi in class, demonstrating a certain level of fighting ability, which is why Sakura felt at ease.

Anyway, it's much better than coming alone.

Everyone knows the unspoken truth about this, but saying it out loud would make everyone feel awkward.

This shows that violence is not always entirely bad; it depends on where it is used.

“Besides that, there’s another reason.” Since Tatsuya Kamio had done a good deed, he naturally had to let Sakura know. “The camera’s storage device and motherboard are integrated.”
