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

After Nagumo and his men left, Sakura slowly loosened her grip on Kamio Tatsuya's clothes.

"I'm sorry, Kamio-kun, I've caused you trouble."

"It's okay, now you don't have to worry about running into that guy again." Kamio Tatsuya looked at the timid Sakura Airi and couldn't help but pat her head.

Seeing this, Kikyo Kushida was so jealous she was practically dying.

Why! ?

Why!

Why are you so gentle with other people?

Why are you like that to me?

Am I not worthy?

Am I not cute?

"Thank you, thank you so much, Kamio-san, really!"

It's clear that Sakura is also very happy.

"It's nothing, just something I did on the side. Since I came out with you, I'll naturally do what I can. Besides, I like to solve problems on the spot, unless I can't solve them on the spot."

Kamio Tatsuya appeared very magnanimous, which made Kushida even more jealous, and he felt a strange sour taste in his mouth.

"Kamio-kun really has a keen eye for Sakura-kun."

Kamio Tatsuya didn't deny it, but Sakura became shy again because of Kushida's words and lowered her head once more.

You're quite the smooth talker, Kushida-chan.

Seeing the smile on Kamio Tatsuya's lips, Kushida Kikyo immediately realized she had said the wrong thing.

Damn, so I've become a link in your PLY network, huh?

Why are you provoking me like this?

Tatsuya Kamio, you deserve to die!

Just then, Kamio Tatsuya received another text message. After reading it, Kamio Tatsuya immediately smiled.

"After Senior Nan Yun reported the matter, the school sent over a reward of 5,000 personal points. How about we go out for lunch? I'll treat you to this."

"Oh? Is that okay? Then I won't be polite. There are so many shops I want to visit but haven't been to yet because I'm short on numbers."

Come on, is that even okay? You weren't planning on refusing at all, were you?

Kamio Tatsuya gave Kushida a disdainful look.

"Well, I'll join you too. Thank you, Kamio-kun."

Although a lot happened this morning, it's still very early, not even 11 o'clock yet.

"It's still early before noon, how about we go for a walk together?"

After saying that, Kamio Tatsu immediately regretted it.

Kushida is such a shopaholic, and he knows everyone around him. He's either shopping or greeting friends.

In a movie with only three people, Tatsuya Kamio and Airi Sakura instantly became supporting characters.

After going around in circles, the group returned to the electronics store.

"Sakura-san, you really like cameras, huh?"

"When I was in middle school, my dad bought me a camera, but I only liked taking pictures and didn't know much about cameras."

As she spoke, she glanced at Tatsuya Kamio.

At the same time, I thought to myself, "Kamio is so amazing, he can even repair cameras."

While the three of them were wandering around, they unexpectedly ran into their classmate, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji.

The moment he saw Ayanokouji, Kamio Tatsuya prepared to turn and leave, if he were alone.

Unfortunately, Kushida had already gone up to say hello.

Kushida, making friends with everyone will only harm you.

Fortunately, it was just a greeting; Kushida didn't invite Ayanokouji to join them, otherwise Kamio Tatsu would have been upset.

"Does Kamio dislike Ayanokouji?"

While Kushida and Ayanokouji were greeting each other, Sakura whispered a question to Tatsuya Kamio.

“It’s not that I hate him, but this person is very dangerous. Sakura, you should avoid contact with him as much as possible in the future.”

Kamio Tatsuya, unusually serious, gave Sakura a warning.

Sakura, who had never seen Tatsuya Kamio so serious before, quickly nodded.

Soon, Kushida returned from Ayanokouji's place.

"It's almost time, let's go eat. I'm not familiar with this area, and Sakura is probably about the same, so I'll leave it to you, Kushida."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Kushida happily agreed to the request.

Chapter 83 Sakura? An Idol?

"Thank you for the meal!" *2

After lunch, the three decided to part ways there.

"I have an appointment later, so see you at school then."

As expected of Kushida, his schedule is packed. He was just about to part ways with Tatsuya Kamio and the others when he immediately made another appointment.

Doesn't she get tired?

Besides, going out to play costs money. Can your wallet handle it?

Kamio Tatsuya naturally wouldn't ask these questions, in case Kushida took advantage of the situation and asked him for money.

"that……!"

Just as Kushida was about to leave, Sakura suddenly spoke up.

"Regarding Sudo-kun, it might be a bit inappropriate to offer this as a thank-you gift for today, but if it's alright..."

Since Kushida and Sakura came out to fix the camera together, it's possible they had this idea in mind.

However, she didn't mention it until Sakura took the initiative to speak.

"It's okay if you don't have to force yourself. Even if you are a witness, Sakura, you have no obligation to come forward. Besides, as a student in Class D like Sudo, your testimony is unlikely to be accepted."

Kamio Tatsuya didn't care about this matter, and as he said, as Sudo's classmate, Sakura's testimony would probably be hard to accept.

There's even a possibility that the other side could turn the tables and accuse Sakura of perjury.

"I know, but I feel like I'll regret it later if I stay silent."

"But before..."

“Because speaking up as a witness will inevitably attract attention, and I don’t like that… so…”

This is quite in line with Sakura's personality, and neither Kamio Tatsuya nor Kushida Kikyo dwelled on it too much.

"Could you recount what happened in detail?"

Sakura nodded and then described what she had seen.

The whole story is gradually revealed through the perspective of a third party.

First of all, the students in Class C must have lied, because it wasn't like what they said at all—that they were unilaterally beaten.

Even though the fight was started by the students of Class C, Sudo then overwhelmingly defeated Ishizaki and the others.

As for the injuries sustained by Class C and the others, Sakura was unable to make a judgment, and she immediately ran away after witnessing the scene.

"That's great! Maybe then Sudo-kun can..."

Kushida was overjoyed upon hearing Sakura's description, but Kamio Tatsuya immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"Don't be too happy yet. Although we believe what Sakura said is true, you can't make the school believe her story."

Ultimately, since Sakura and Sudo are both students in Class D, they might be accused of perjury by the other side.

"Why, how could this happen?"

Kushida's face showed obvious frustration.

At this moment, Sakura raised her hand again.

“Well, I have evidence, evidence that I was there at the time.”

evidence?

Holy crap, you even have evidence.

Longyuan, why are you so unlucky?

As she spoke, Sakura took out the camera that had recently been repaired by Kamio Tatsuya from her bag, and after a series of operations, pulled up a photo.

"This is it."

Upon taking the camera, Tatsuya Kamio discovered that it was a selfie of Sakura, with Sakura herself occupying most of the frame.

However, in the empty upper left corner, you can see Sudo fighting with the three members of Class C.

Furthermore, the time displayed in the lower right corner of the camera also proves that Sakura was indeed there at the time.

It turned out to be the case.

This proves that Sakura was indeed at the scene of the fight.

But the problem remains: her testimony is not very credible.

Besides the fact that she was Sudo's classmate, there was another reason why she didn't stand up immediately.

But that's enough. Sakura's testimony isn't the point; the point is the photo that Sakura unintentionally took.

This level of evidence is sufficient, after all, Tatsuya Kamio never intended to exonerate Sudo.

All Kamio Tatsumi could do was buy Sudo some time to review so that he wouldn't be expelled.

As for the rest, I don't care.

Kamio Tatsuya nodded without saying anything, then showed the photos on the camera to Kushida.

"Thank you, Sakura-san. Sudo-san will be very happy too!"

That evening, as usual, Tatsuya Kamio was meditating when he received a call from Sakura.

The way they contacted each other was that Sakura took the initiative to add Kamio Tatsuya when they parted ways today.

"Um... I'm Sakura..."

"Yes, I know, I made a note."

Kamio Tatsuya leaned back in his chair while on the phone.

"Thank you for what you did today."

"You've already thanked me many times."

Kamio Tatsuya said with a bit of a laugh.

At that moment, Sakura was sitting at her computer desk, looking at the message on her blog that no longer appeared, feeling very relaxed.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke, "Kamio-kun, do you know the name 'Shizuku'?"

Shizuku?

I think that sloppy shop assistant mentioned it today.

"I don't think I've ever heard of it." Tatsuya Kamio thought for a moment, then realized he really didn't remember it. "But rather than a name, it feels more like a stage name or something like 'idol'."

Is this really that accurate?

Sakura was startled by Tatsuya Kamio's intuition.

"Hmm... Kamio-san guessed right, she is indeed an idol." Sakura Airi's slightly hesitant voice came through the phone, "But to be precise, she's a gravure idol."

Photo idol?
