In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

This guy has a really clear mind!

Moreover, his ideas and Tatsuya Kamio's propositions can be said to coincide—the path of a king does not need allies.

"Hehe, then you'd better do your best." Tatsuya Kamio chuckled. "By the way, who are you planning to buy a gift for at this store? Your girlfriend?"

“No, this is my private matter, please forgive me for not being able to disclose it.” Katsuragi shook his head, then picked up the gift he had chosen. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”

This guy is really stubborn and won't listen to reason.

But... he's wearing a school uniform, is he going to school?

In other words, is his gift intended for someone at the school?

While Kamio Tatsuya was lost in thought, Katsuragi had already paid the bill and left the shop.

"Something seems a bit suspicious, Hiyori. Who do you think he'll give the gift to?"

Shiina shook his head, then looked at Tatsuya Kamio.

"Is Tatsuya planning to ask Katsuragi-kun for help?"

Shiina was indeed very clever; she guessed his thoughts right away.

Then, Tatsuya Kamio nodded. Katsuragi could definitely help him handle the heavy workload.

So the next step is to figure out a way to get him to help me with my work.

But this doesn't seem to be an easy thing.

However, Tatsuya Kamio thought of the gift in his hand...

Perhaps this is an opportunity.

"Let's not think about that anymore. Is there anything Hiyori wants? I'll give it to you."

Although Class C's finances were better than Class D's, they weren't actually that good, because a large portion of them ended up in Tatsuya Kamio's pocket.

The points that Longyuan extorted from Class D will probably not be returned to the students in Class C.

Since I happened to be here today, I felt it would be a shame not to buy something.

"Is it okay? I was the one who asked you to come out and keep me company."

A rare look of embarrassment crossed Shiina's face.

"It's alright. Anyway, Hiyori only bought the tea set because of me, so consider this my way of thanking you in advance."

"Then I won't be polite."

Shiina was clearly not a sentimental person; since Tatsuya Kamio had already brought it up, she naturally agreed.

However, she clearly didn't intend to choose anything too expensive; there wasn't anything in sight that cost more than 2000 points.

Tatsuya Kamio accompanied her as she looked around, and then he saw a hair clip that looked very cute.

Kamuro seems to wear a hair clip; should we buy one and give it to her?

Then Kamio Tatsuya took off the hair clip and, as usual, checked the price.

Damn it...

Ten thousand!

One hair clip costs 10,000.

What the hell is this thing?

Of course, Tatsuya Kamio wasn't short of money to pay; he just felt the price was unreasonable!

Why?

"Tatsuya, what's wrong?"

Then, Shiina saw the hairpin in Tatsuya Kamio's hand.

"Even if it's just my imagination, I doubt that Tatsuya was thinking about Kamuro when he was on our date, right?"

For some reason, although Shiina still had a smiling face, Kamio Tatsuya could clearly sense that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Hey Hiyori, are you really not a superpowered person?

I just picked up the hair clip and looked at it, and you immediately guessed what I was thinking?

Who between us actually owns the system?

"Uh, it's all because of this hair clip. Look, Masumi is wearing a hair clip too, isn't she?"

Now that things have come to this, Tatsuya Kamio has no choice but to bite the bullet and admit it.

Because he felt that the hair clip really suited Kamuro.

This may not be the best answer, but Tatsuya Kamio decided to say it anyway.

Will Shiina be angry?

"is it?"

Shiina took the hair clip and examined it carefully.

"This style seems to have been quite popular last year. By the way, Tatsuya, is it okay if I pick out some expensive items?"

"no problem, no problem!"

Kamio Tatsuya breathed a sigh of relief; a problem that could be solved with points wasn't a problem at all.

After searching for a long time, Shiina chose a very exquisite-looking bracelet made of platinum, worth 10,000 points, just like the hair clip.

Hiyori, you must have done this on purpose, right?

After leaving 20,000 points at the store, Kamio Tatsuya and Shiina went next door and bought a tea set.

That evening, after dinner and tea, Kamio Tatsuya received a letter from Horikita Manabu.

It was a reminder that he shouldn't forget to go to the student union office tomorrow to organize materials to make room for the upcoming renovations, and it also added him to the student union's group chat.

Kamio Tatsuya looked around and saw that Ichinose wasn't there. It seemed that what the president said was true; she really had been held up for two months by that guy Nagumo for some unknown reason.

Chapter 159 Katsuragi's Request

The next day, Tatsuya Kamio did not report to the students very early.

It's not a good thing, why be so enthusiastic? Honestly.

It was nearly 10 a.m. when Tatsuya Kamio knocked on the student council door.

"Please come in."

After receiving permission, Tatsuya Kamio pushed open the door and entered the student council office, where he immediately saw a shiny bald head.

Isn't that Katsuragi?

What is he doing in the student council?

Could it be...

"Let's find a place to sit down first. I still have some things to take care of."

Kamio Tatsuya nodded, then casually found a chair to sit down and began to rest.

Horikita Manabu also looked at Katsuragi in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I can understand your desire to celebrate your sister's birthday, but rules are rules, and school rules are meant to be followed."

As expected, Katsuragi's gift was to be sent off-campus.

only……

Asking the student council for help is a huge mistake. With Horikita Manabu's rigid personality, there's absolutely no way he would agree to Katsuragi's request in the student council office.

In this office, Horikita Manabu's only identity is that of student council president, and his stance represents the school.

How can you expect a school to break the rules it sets itself?

Didn't you see that he always found a place without surveillance cameras to discipline his sister?

"You mean there's no way to fix this even if we use points?"

“There’s no way the school will allow violations just because of points,” Horikita Manabu said firmly, then looked at Kamio Tatsuya and asked a question.

"Kamio? If you wanted to send something out, what would you do?"

Why did this happen to me? I really don't want to answer.

“I don’t have anyone I need to send things to, so I won’t think about it.”

"I mean, if... you should have a way, right?"

Kamio Tatsuya smiled, which was taken as tacit agreement, but he would never say it here.

Having finally gotten the chance to do Katsuragi a favor, how could Kamio Tatsuya just give it away like that? He had to fight for his own interests.

Katsuragi glanced at Kamio Tatsuya but didn't ask any questions, which suggested that he knew a lot about it.

The following time, Tatsuya Kamio followed Manabu Horikita to work on the student council, which involved organizing materials, keeping the useful ones and throwing the useless ones into the shredder.

"President, can't we find someone else to do this kind of thing?"

"No, a lot of the information here cannot be disclosed to ordinary students, so it can only be compiled by members of the student council."

The other members are already quite busy with accompanying members of the club, so we won't trouble them with these tasks.

While organizing the materials at hand, Horikita Manabu answered Kamio Tatsuya's questions.

So, I'll have to trouble you, right...?

It's all Nagumo-senpai's fault. If he had let Ichinose in earlier, I wouldn't have had to keep an eye on those two while I was working...

Tatsuya Kamio was still aware of being a third wheel.

"Hmph, Kamio-kun, you'd better get back to work quickly so you can go home sooner." Akane Tachibana looked at Tatsuya Kamio with a mocking expression.

That awful Tachibana-senpai!

There will come a day when you'll be begging me!

So the three of them kept busy until noon before they finally had a chance to relax.

This further solidified Tatsuya Kamio's idea of ​​finding someone to replace him in his work.

I, the vice president of the student council, am actually doing odd jobs for the student council president...

However, that probably won't work today.

After finishing organizing the student council's materials, Tatsuya Kamio was finally free.

"The student council's renovation will probably take a few days. I'll call you to take the materials back then."

"OK……"

Kamio Tatsuya said weakly.

The day wasn't particularly tiring, but it was incredibly boring.

After dinner, Kamio Tatsuya was about to go straight back to his dormitory to rest, but he was stopped by Katsuragi when he passed through the dormitory lobby on the first floor.

"You didn't just sit here waiting for me all day, did you?"

Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat surprised to see Katsuragi appear, but this showed how much he wanted to celebrate his sister's birthday.

That's fine.

So Tatsuya Kamio wasn't angry; instead, he felt a kind of joy, as if a fish had taken the bait.

"After being rejected by the president, I thought a lot and came to understand one thing: even if you can buy anything with personal points, you can't be above the school rules."

In that case, the school's authority would be compromised, and the points system would likely collapse.

After hearing Katsuragi's words, Kamio Tatsuya couldn't help but glance at him again.

The fact that he could think of this shows that he is quite capable.

That's right, school rules are school rules, and school rules are meant to be followed.

However, this does not mean that school rules cannot be changed. With enough points, it is not impossible to change school rules.

However, if he wanted to change the school rules, Katsuragi obviously didn't have enough points.

"That's right, and the school is the one that makes the school rules. It's ridiculous for you to ask the student council president to help you break the school rules."
