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

Then, a brief silence fell on the rooftop, until finally Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but speak first.

Aren't you going to ask me about Ayanokouji?

"You'll say what you want to say, and what's the point of me asking if you don't want to say it?" Kamio Tatsuya gave her a disdainful look. "Besides, that guy gives me a bad feeling, and I don't want to get involved with him if possible."

In fact, Tatsuya Kamio felt that if possible, it would be better to just expel that guy from school.

"That's good. Please don't get involved with him again in the future."

Ok?

This is something even Tatsuya Kamio couldn't figure out.

what do you mean?

Tatsuya Kamio was unsure of Arisu Sakayanagi's intentions and didn't want to get involved with him...

Is it because you're afraid Ayanokouji will do something to me?

No, we're not that close, so you don't need to worry about me. Besides, if that's the case, it would be more effective to have Kamuro speak for me than for you to come here in person.

So, you're afraid I'll do something to Ayanokouji?

Tsk, and they still say they're not in a romantic relationship.

So... just who exactly is Ayanokouji?

Kamio Tatsuya began to get curious...

No, no, I can't be curious!

Curiosity killed the cat, didn't you know that?

"So you went to all this trouble to find me just to say this?"

“What is insignificant to you is very important to me.”

Indeed, although he didn't understand, Tatsuya Kamio chose to respect it.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Tatsuya Kamio finished cleaning up the trash he had produced and stood up.

"So you agree?"

"I won't do anything to him... Is that what you wanted to hear?"

Seeing Sakayanagi nod, Kamio Tatsuya understood: "If he doesn't provoke me, I won't do anything to him."

"That's natural."

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded, then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In fact, Tatsuya Kamio was somewhat speechless about today's conversation, because the guarantee he made was the same as not making a guarantee at all.

He will continue doing what he was going to do next.

Seeing that Kamio Tatsu didn't seem to care, Sakayanagi sighed inwardly.

Kamio-kun, I'm doing this for your own good. You have no idea how terrifying Ayanokouji is.

If Tatsuya Kamio heard this, he would probably laugh his head off.

I didn't know Ayanokouji was terrifying?

Haha, you have no idea how powerful the system owner is!

Even if I haven't grown up yet, I will grow up one day!

Moreover, my recent actions were merely spontaneous, yet they yielded such ideal results. How dare you underestimate me?

Besides, didn't I successfully play a prank on you too?

genius?

But that's it!

However, this guy's request doesn't seem too unreasonable...

Hmm, now that I think about it, it seems like I'm the one who went too far...

I feel like I've let Sakayanagi down a bit.

Cough cough, hurry up and run, or my guilt will catch up with me.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Dragon Garden is up to its old tricks again.

Two days have passed since his last meeting with Sakayanagi, and Kamio Tatsuya continues to live his life as he pleases.

If there's any change to it, it's that whenever Kamio Tatsuya sees Sakayanagi Arisu from his class, he'll quietly keep his distance.

Although he didn't think the other party would deliberately try to scam him, Kamio Tatsuya felt that if it were him, he would definitely take advantage of his poor health.

Let me repeat myself: you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them.

After school on Thursday, Kamio Tatsuya went to the library as usual.

I've wasted several days already, so I need to start working on it again today.

Perhaps because midterms had just ended and finals were still more than a month away, there were very few people in the library.

Therefore, Tatsuya Kamio had a rare opportunity to experience a quiet reading environment.

Mmm, the breeze blowing in from the window feels so nice.

"It's been a long time, Kamio."

A familiar voice came from ahead, and Tatsuya Kamio looked up and was immediately stunned.

Shiina Hiyori stood at the window, the wind blowing her silver hair wildly, her face still bearing an innocent and carefree expression.

This scene made Tatsuya Kamio feel somewhat ashamed.

"I thought you were going to ignore me."

"why?"

Shiina tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"Because of the idea I gave you, Class C lost another 200 class points, and I also took 4.5 million personal points from you."

In order to ensure that Ishizaki and the others from Class C could appear in the midterm exam, Kamio Tatsuya made a bet with Ryuen. Then, to test the school's limits, he directly made Ishizaki and the others ignore the school's punishment and take the exam.

The result was that Class C, which already had very few points, ran out of points.

Although he didn't feel sorry for Ryuen, he still felt quite embarrassed towards Shiina.

"Please don't say that. If it weren't for Kamio, Ishizaki and the others might have been expelled," Shiina said earnestly. "Although I lost some points, I'm actually very grateful to Kamio-kun."

Damn, I feel even more ashamed!

The sense of guilt that hadn't been stirred by Sakayanagi before seems to be softening now.

If Shiina knew that all of this was part of Tatsuya Kamio's plan, I wonder if she would still say that.

"Speaking of which, Longyuan seems to have disappeared recently."

Upon hearing this, Shiina immediately looked troubled.

Damn it?

Did I mention something I shouldn't have?

"I didn't mean to ask you for information, I just feel that the students in Class C have been much more well-behaved lately."

The reason for this is that after May, Longyuan had been sending students from Class C to test the school's bottom line, causing a lot of trouble for other classes.

Although he didn't find the students in Class D to be responsible, some things are just unpleasant to see.

Furthermore, although the scores for this month have not yet been tallied, Tatsuya Kamio feels that Class C must have lost a lot of points, so their remaining 90 points are probably almost gone.

"After all, Class C doesn't have many class points left, so even Ryuen has to restrain himself."

After Shiina answered the question, Tatsuya Kamio wisely refrained from continuing the conversation about Class C.

Judging from Shiina's reaction just now, Ryuen is probably plotting something.

This matter is very likely unrelated to Tatsuya Kamio, but it's not something Shiina can tell Tatsuya Kamio, because telling him might be considered betraying the class.

Thinking about it that way, Longyuan is probably planning something.

As for who they're targeting, Kamio Tatsuya couldn't guess, but it certainly wasn't aimed at him.

Otherwise, given Shiina's personality, she wouldn't have approached him at this time.

As for the claim that they held back because the class didn't have many points, that might fool others, but Kamio Tatsu absolutely didn't believe it.

Because this is not the style of Longyuan at all.

Because they have so few points left, Longyuan can be even more unscrupulous, just like Class D trying to extort money from other classes.

Now that he's suddenly become more restrained, isn't that clearly saying: Am I about to cause trouble?

But this guy is quite capable; he even managed to deceive his own people.

While pondering this, he glanced at Shiina, who had already begun quietly reading.

But who exactly is Longyuan's target?

Is it a class?

Is it still Class B?

Surely it can't be Class D with only a handful of students, right?

Well, it's none of my business anyway. As long as you don't cause me any trouble, I won't bother with you.

Of course, don't make trouble for me as a scapegoat. If you make those guys drop out of school early, wouldn't I lose my life?

The last few days of May came to a quick end, and before we knew it, it was June 1st.

The system promptly provided another chance to draw a prize, and unsurprisingly, Kamio Tatsuya drew another piece of junk. Last time, he drew toilet paper from the first-tier pool, and this time he drew a bath towel.

Damn it, this is outrageous!

Kamio Tatsuya once suspected that there were no good items in the Tier 1 pool.

However, he didn't hate it that much. It didn't matter because he thought the Memory Bread lv.2 was in the next prize pool.

In the morning, after entering the classroom, Kamio Tatsuya found the classroom noisy, which was something he hadn't seen in a long time.

Have you received your points?

As soon as she sat down, Horikita Suzune, who was to her left, turned her head and asked a question.

Hmm, this scene seems a bit familiar.

I think that's what they asked last month too.

Kamio Tatsuya quickly took out his phone and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the balance of over 600 million yen on it.

I thought I had gone back to May 1st; it really startled me.

She couldn't help but glare at Horikita Suzune.

Why are you glaring at me?

"It's nothing, you scared me."

Am I trying to scare you?

Horikita Suzune was puzzled, but she still felt she wanted to ask the question from earlier.

"You still haven't answered my question. Did you receive any points today?"

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio shook his head.

"You didn't receive it either?" Horikita breathed a sigh of relief.

"I mean I don't know, because there are too many points, a mere few thousand points wouldn't even attract my attention."

You'll die if you don't pretend, won't you?

Horikita Suzune was furious, but she didn't know how to refute him.

A short while later, the school bell rang, and Ms. Chabashira walked in as the bell rang.

She had barely stepped onto the podium when Ike, one of the three idiots, raised her hand and asked, "Sae-chan-sensei, why haven't we received our points for this month? Wasn't it supposed to be that the class points would be increased based on the average score of the midterm exam?"
