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

My friend, you are a true warrior.

"Oh? Sure, I'd love to."

So, Tatsuya Kamio and Ike exchanged contact information and joined the group.

"Speaking of which, your two friends aren't here."

“Oh, you mean Yamauchi and Sudo?” Ike replied while introducing Kamio Tatsuya in the group chat, “Sudo joined the basketball club, and Yamauchi said he wanted to go and see, so he went along.”

"Aren't you going?"

"I'm not good at sports," Chi finally typed. "By the way, say hello in the group chat too."

"okay."

【I am Tatsuya Kamio, nice to meet you.】

There were very few responses; well, everyone was probably busy.

Chapter Fourteen: There's a Thief!

Back in his dorm, Tatsuya Kamio began to think about his plans.

Actually, it's quite simple: sell the information you have, and sell it for a high price.

Not only the nature of this school, but also information about the special exam in the first month—the behavioral ethics exam.

These are two pieces of intelligence, and to sell the second piece of intelligence at a high price, you must first sell the first piece of intelligence.

So the first piece of information wasn't actually that valuable, which is why he sold it to Horikita Suzune so easily, even hoping she would spread it.

As for the second piece of information, that's where Kamio Tatsuya really wanted to make his point.

The four classes are in competition, and only Class A can enjoy special privileges. Therefore, it is the wish of most students to be promoted to Class A and graduate from Class A.

After all, this is what everyone came here for when they enrolled.

To gain the final victory in the competition, seizing the initiative is also very important.

In that case, Kamio Tatsu would have room to maneuver.

So, among the four classes, which one most wants to seize the initiative?

Is it Class D?

That's true, but unfortunately, those idiots in Class D don't have the ability to believe this information, and getting them to spend money is harder than climbing to heaven.

Therefore, the best target is actually Class A.

According to the school's class assignment rules, students in Class A are bound to be the most outstanding, so many students in Class A naturally have a sense of superiority from the outset.

After all, they are just high school students, and Tatsuya Kamio knows exactly what they are thinking.

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't allow other classes to surpass them.

That's why they want to seize the initiative even more.

Therefore, Class A is the best buyer.

Next, all we need to do is gather information about Class A and identify the key figures within their class.

Over the next two days, Tatsuya Kamio frequently passed by Class A, and he noticed something: Class A's discipline was indeed much better than Class D's.

Even if they didn't know there would be a behavior and ethics test in the first month of school, they probably wouldn't lose many points.

However, because Tatsuya Kamio's communication skills are average, he has not made any friends in Class A, let alone knows who the core members of Class A are.

However, this turning point came very quickly.

On Wednesday afternoon, Tatsuya Kamio planned to go to the supermarket to replenish his kitchen utensils; he was going crazy eating set meals every day.

As a traditional Chinese person, how can I eat Japanese food every day?

Is Chinese food not good?

After arriving at the supermarket, Kamio Tatsu began to browse around casually, looking for what he needed.

Cooking is easy to say, but it's not easy to do at all.

It's very troublesome because you need to prepare a lot of kitchen utensils and you also need to buy ingredients frequently.

Ah, if only there were a free chef.

Just as he was indulging in such a whimsical thought, a somewhat furtive figure appeared at the edge of his vision—a girl with long purple hair tied in a side ponytail.

Because of the investigation he conducted on Class A a couple of days ago, he recognized the other person as a student from Class A, and one who was quite good-looking.

That area over there looks like the drinks section, right?

Because he had just passed by there, Kamio Tatsuya knew about the situation there.

What would a girl be doing in the drinks section?

In Japan, people under 20 are not allowed to drink alcohol, right?

Wait, you're not trying to steal it because you can't buy it, are you?

Tatsuya Kamio wasn't surprised by this; thieves are a special profession that exists in every world and every country.

What puzzled him was that the other person was clearly an outstanding student in Class A, and looked so glamorous, yet he would do such a thing.

Moreover, this person is clearly a repeat offender, because her current position avoids all the cameras in the store, so even if she does steal something, she probably won't be discovered.

This strange feeling is like seeing a beautiful urban woman on the street, only to find that her home is filled with garbage—a stark contrast.

Getting back to the point, the girl with the side ponytail had already picked up a can of beer and was about to put it into her skirt pocket.

Hey, that's a 330ml bottle of beer! I don't know the exact weight, but with the can, it's probably over 330g.

Won't it feel heavy and sluggish if you put it inside your skirt?

And you're wearing a skirt, won't that weight cause it to slip down?

Or is there an anti-slip device inside the skirt?

Tatsuya Kamio stated that he has never worn a skirt and therefore does not know.

However, Tatsuya Kamio said he could not stand idly by while the other party was stealing.

Preventing children from making mistakes is also an obligation that adults should fulfill.

So he took out his phone and quietly took a picture.

"Cough cough!"

After putting his phone away, Tatsuya Kamio deliberately coughed, causing the other person to shudder instantly.

The beer she was about to put into her skirt pocket fell to the ground and rolled to Tatsuya Kamio's feet.

"Sorry, my throat is sore." With that, Tatsuya Kamio bent down to pick up the beer, then looked up at the other person. "Be careful, even though those things can't see you, accidents can happen anywhere."

He then ignored the purple-haired girl's reaction and went to the cashier to pay for the beer.

Moreover, being interrupted like this, Tatsuya Kamio's sudden urge to cook was temporarily put to rest.

When they arrived at the cashier, the clerk saw the beer in Kamio Tatsuya's hand and said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm very sorry, but we can't sell beer to students. You're not old enough to drink."

"Oh, this isn't for drinking, I'm planning to use it for stewing," Tatsuya Kamio started rambling. "That's why I chose wheat craft beer."

Strangely, after Tatsuya Kamio explained it this way, the clerk actually scanned his code right away.

After paying 120 points, the can of beer became completely owned by Tatsuya Kamio.

Just as Tatsuya Kamio left the supermarket, the purple-haired girl also came out, clearly having followed him.

That's good, then we don't have to wait.

"for you."

Kamio Tatsuya handed the beer in his hand to the other person, and then prepared to give him a verbal lecture, saying that even if a minor wants to drink, he doesn't necessarily have to steal it.

"Why should I give it to you? I don't drink."

Kamio Tatsuya was dumbfounded, and his hand, which was handing over the beer, froze.

What the hell!

If you don't drink alcohol, why are you stealing beer?

However, Kamio Tatsu quickly understood.

As a first-year student, he wouldn't possibly spend all 100,000 points in just two days, especially since this guy doesn't drink alcohol.

That explains her behavior of stealing beer.

She was a pleasure offender.

Most people steal because they're short of money, but this girl is different; she's seeking thrills. And what she just saw wasn't an illusion after all—she's a repeat offender.

Moreover, she was never discovered, at least the school never investigated such a thing, which is why she was assigned to Class A.

Seeing Kamio Tatsuya's dumbfounded expression, followed by a quick realization, the girl frowned.

"What are you thinking?"

"I just think you should quit this kind of thing as soon as possible."

"My affairs are none of your business," the purple-haired girl replied with displeasure. "My name is Kamuro Masumi, what's yours?"

"Tatsuya Kamio, Class D, Year 1."

Kamio Tatsuya shrugged. Although he didn't understand what this guy wanted to do, the other person had already given his name, so he introduced himself as well.

Moreover, things are progressing very smoothly. If things continue to go smoothly, then we may be able to achieve our goals from the previous two days today.

Chapter Fifteen: Let's Sit Down and Talk

Looking at Tatsuya Kamio's empty hands, which contained only beer, Masumi Kamuro's face showed a suspicious look.

"You're not here to spy on me, are you?"

"Surveillance?"

A question mark appeared above Kamio Tatsuya's head. What was this all about?

"Because you went to the supermarket, but you didn't buy anything except this bottle of beer, and you were even planning to give it to me."

Also, I'm in Class A of Grade 1, and I've noticed you've been hanging around the Class A classroom quite a bit these past few days.

This is a huge misunderstanding.

Kamio Tatsuya tried to argue his point, but everything the other person said was true.

But we really weren't spying on you.

We don't have that kind of free time.

However, since she had successfully brought up the matter, Kamio Tatsu went along with it and revealed his purpose.

"I went to the supermarket intending to buy a set of kitchen utensils for cooking, but I thought it was too much trouble, so I gave up."

As for why I've been hanging around Class A these past few days, it's because I'm looking for someone in charge of Class A; I have very important information to sell you."

"Important intelligence?"

Masumi Kamuro looked suspicious.

"That's right. If you could tell me the identity of the person in charge of your class, I would be extremely grateful. Consider it a reward for reminding you that you haven't made a big mistake."

Kamio Tatsuya frankly stated his purpose, making no attempt to hide his intention to repay a debt of gratitude.

Masumi Kamuro thought for a moment in silence, then nodded.

"I understand. I'll let you know after I confirm."

Then she turned around and tried to leave.

Then Tatsuya Kamio was dumbfounded again. After confirming? How little do you care about the class? And you told me after you found it, don't tell me you were planning to come to Class D to find me yourself.

"Wait, how are you going to find me?"

"Didn't you say you were in Class D of the first year? Of course I'll go to your class to find you." Kamuro Masumi looked puzzled.

Just as I thought, is this guy a natural-born idiot, or is he deliberately being cunning?
