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

Kamio Tatsuya casually turned on the computer on the table, which was in standby mode, and then opened a search engine and entered the name "Shizuku".

Surprisingly, a search result was found.

Shizuku is a gravure idol who debuted two years ago. According to her profile, she appears to be a junior high school student.

Although she is only a junior high school student, she became popular immediately after her debut because of her cute appearance and exaggerated figure.

Furthermore, because I enjoy taking photos, I run a blog and post photos on it every day.

Of course, Tatsuya Kamio also saw the photos on the blog.

then……

Isn't that Sakura?

Although their hairstyles are different and their temperaments are slightly different, Sakura at school is the kind of gloomy girl who seems to want to bury her head in her chest.

The Shizuku on the blog is clearly the kind of lively girl, but Tatsuya Kamio is confident he won't mistake her for someone else.

"Shizuku...it's you, isn't it? Sakura."

After a long silence, Sakura's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hmm."

After receiving Sakura's affirmation, Tatsuya Kamio felt that this world was simply too magical.

Who would have thought that Sakura Airi, who is usually quiet and shy and cosplays as an ostrich every day, would actually be a gravure idol who has been in the industry for two years and is already quite well-known?

"You've really impressed me, Sakura. Your disguise is just too good."

Kamio Tatsuya couldn't help but sigh, then started scrolling through Shizuku's blog.

"No, no!" came Sakura's panicked voice from the other end of the phone. "Actually, I'm really afraid of attracting attention, only when taking pictures, only when taking pictures..."

"Yes, I know what you mean. I didn't mean to complain about you."

He found Sakura Airi's panicked voice amusing; the little girl was so cute.

Hearing Tatsuya Kamio's slightly teasing tone, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 84, isn't that a bit too early?

While chatting with Sakura, Kamio Tatsuya checked Sakura's blog and came across a comment from two months ago.

"Actually, I stopped my idol activities after enrolling in this school."

"Yes, I know, because your blog hasn't been updated for two months," Tatsuya Kamio said, looking at her blog. "It seems you've been strictly following the school's rule against contacting the outside world."

“After I enrolled, when I received my points at the start of the semester, I bought this digital camera. Of course, I tried to disguise myself, but I was still recognized.”

When this was mentioned, Sakura Airi's tone was filled with frustration and fear.

"You're not talking about that shop assistant from today, are you?"

"Yes, he recognized me that day and has been leaving messages on the blog ever since."

Tatsuya Kamio used the pulley to find Sakura's exact time.

Do you believe in fate? I do. From this day forward, we'll be together forever.

I've always felt we're very close.

You're even cuter today!

Did you notice us making eye contact? I did.

The comments on this account continued until today.

The latest message was posted around 9 a.m. today, when Tatsuya Kamio and the others left the electronics store for the hardware store.

Why aren't you coming over? Isn't ignoring me going too far?

So, that guy is actually Sakura's sasaeng fan. No wonder he looks at Sakura with such extreme eyes, like he wants to devour her.

This is not surprising; obsessive fans deserve to die a horrible death.

No wonder Sakura was so hesitant when her digital camera was broken, and no wonder she readily agreed when Kushida told her that Kamio Tatsuya would be going with her.

That explains everything.

Two months ago, Sakura bought a digital camera when she received her points, and was then recognized by this sasaeng fan.

Then, this sasaeng fan started leaving messages for Sakura like crazy, and Sakura probably realized that the person leaving the messages was the one who had left them.

That's why she was so shaken after her digital camera was broken, because as someone who loves taking pictures, she would definitely want to repair it.

This would inevitably lead her to see that sasaeng fan, so she was very scared.

Upon hearing that Kushida would be taking Kamio Tatsuya with her, she immediately agreed.

Because subconsciously she felt that Kamio Tatsu was also trustworthy, since he had once fought for her.

So hearing the name Tatsuya Kamio subconsciously gives me a sense of security.

And then today's events unfolded.

If Kamio Tatsuya hadn't made a move today, that guy would probably have come after Sakura sooner or later. But now that Kamio Tatsuya has sent that guy away, Sakura's safety is no longer threatened.

That's why she's always been grateful to Tatsuya Kamio.

As for whether there might be another Sakura sasaeng fan at school, Kamio Tatsuya thought it was unlikely. Given that guy's selfishness, he would definitely want to monopolize Sakura.

So I doubt they'll reveal that Sakura is at this school.

“I see. I understand your feelings a little better now, Sakura.”

"Well, so thank you really, Kamio-kun."

Sakura Airi's tone was full of solemnity.

"Okay, I understand. I'll accept your thanks." Kamio Tatsuya smiled. "Besides, I think we can be considered friends, so there's no need to be so polite."

Friends, friends!

Sakura felt a little dizzy and then spoke up subconsciously.

"Okay, I understand. Please let me call you Kamio."

Hearing Sakura mimicking his tone on the other end of the phone, Tatsuya Kamio once again felt the other person's cuteness.

I really want Kushida to see this; this is real cuteness. Your fake cuteness doesn't count.

The next day, even though he had changed into his summer uniform, Tatsuya Kamio still felt a wave of heat hit him.

June is already this hot, how are we going to get through July and November?

Good morning, Kamio-kun!

"Oh, Ichinose, you're so late today."

Not long after leaving the dormitory, Kamio Tatsuya encountered Ichinose, who was chasing after him.

"I'm having trouble sleeping tonight because something has been bothering me."

This immediately piqued Tatsuya Kamio's interest.

"Oh? Someone like you actually has worries?"

"What do you mean by 'someone like me'? I think everyone has worries, right?"

Tatsuya Kamio smiled and said, "Then, would you mind telling me about your troubles? Perhaps I can help."

Heaven and earth can bear witness that Kamio Tatsuya was certainly not the kind of person who would enthusiastically help; he just wanted to gossip a bit.

If things are simple, he certainly wouldn't mind helping the other party to the best of his ability.

This is also a way to bring the two sides closer.

Kamio Tatsuya is neither a good person nor a bad person; he is just an ordinary person with a little bit of selfishness.

Honami Ichinose looked at Tatsuya Kamio's face and hesitated slightly.

Then, she took a letter out of the pocket of her uniform jacket. The envelope was a cute pink color and had cute heart-shaped stickers on it.

This thing doesn't need any further explanation.

Seriously? We've only met a few times, and you're already handing me something like this?

Are you going to use your honey trap on me too?

Looking at Ichinose's pretty face, Kamio Tatsuya doubted whether he could make it through.

"love letter?"

Ichinose nodded with a complicated expression.

"Isn't it a bit too early? We've only known each other for a few days."

Kamio Tatsuya refused, looking conflicted.

Then Ichinose was a little dumbfounded. I didn't say it was for you, so why are you misunderstanding it?

Noticing Ichinose's expression, Tatsuya Kamio also wore a sly grin.

Although the way Ichinose pulled the love letter out of her pocket just now really looked like a confession, Kamio Tatsuya wasn't that narcissistic.

So I made a few jokes to amuse her.

"Actually, someone was planning to confess their feelings to me."

Then, he handed over the love letter.

"Huh? Can I watch this? Is it inappropriate?"

Kamio Tatsuya clearly didn't expect Ichinose to show him the love letter, because he thought it should be a very private matter.

Aren't there people like that?

After receiving a love letter, they would make a big fuss about it, using it as a source of pride and feeling extremely embarrassed.

However, judging from Ichinose's expression, she didn't seem to be showing off; rather, she seemed genuinely troubled.

Since that's the case, Kamio Tatsuya took the love letter from Ichinose and began to read it.

Chapter 85 Ichinose Also Has a Secret

Before reading it, Tatsuya Kamio looked at the love letter again. The envelope was light pink, and there was a heart-shaped sticker on it...

Then Tatsuya Kamio finally realized what was wrong.

If this love letter is one that Ichinose wanted to send, then there's naturally no problem with it; the pink color and the heart shape both represent a young girl's girlish heart.

But the problem is, this love letter was given to Ichinose by someone else!?

The person who confessed to Ichinose... could it be a girl?

With this question in mind, Tatsuya Kamio opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

The handwriting in the letter was exactly the same as the style of the envelope, both were written quite beautifully, and it was clear that it was not written by a boy.

Very good, that's definitely true.

I never imagined that Ichinose's charm was so strong that she appealed to both men and women. It's terrifying.

I want to meet you behind the gymnasium on Monday after school at 4 PM.

very scary!

Both Ichinose and the girl who wrote love letters to Ichinose are quite amazing in some ways.

After carefully refolding the letter along the creases, Tatsuya Kamio solemnly returned it to Honami Ichinose.

Please don't look at me with such admiration.

"No, no, no, it's already quite an impressive thing to have someone of the same sex confess their feelings to you. This look is just the most basic respect I can offer you!"

Looking at the serious-looking Tatsuya Kamio, Ichinose was both amused and exasperated: "Please stop teasing me."

Seeing Ichinose accept the love letter, Kamio Tatsuya became interested: "So, what are you going to do?"

"That's why I'm planning to consult someone," Ichinose said, putting away the love letter, her face once again showing distress. "I don't know much about love... I don't know how to handle things without hurting the other person, and I don't know if we can still be good friends."

"The person who wants to confess to you must be from Class B, right? That's why you came to me, someone from another class, to discuss it."

Ichinose nodded, acknowledging Kamio Tatsuya's words.

"But you must have experienced a lot of these kinds of things, right? Didn't anyone confess to you when you were in junior high?"

Ichinose has a great personality, which is a fact acknowledged by the entire grade, even better than Kushida, who is pretending to be nice.
