For the next three days, nothing much happened except for having to put up with Koenji's "You are so beautiful" praises a few times each day.
Every day was spent either reading with Shiina in the library or sitting by the boat fishing with Kamuro, although they never caught anything, the two were happy doing it.
Kamio Tatsuya even tried the high-end spa on the ship like Koenji and immediately understood why Koenji went there every day.
It seemed to help his leg cramps from growing taller.
Besides that, he would occasionally run into Kushida and listen to her complain.
Sometimes, Kamio Tatsuya thought that this kind of life was pretty good, and it wouldn't be bad to spend three years like this.
Then, when he graduated, he could rely on the system's advantages, almost thirty times the rewards. Kamio Tatsuya didn't know what amazing things he would get.
When the three-year deadline comes, the Dragon Lord...
Ahem, I'm getting off topic.
Unfortunately, Chabashira Sae's words kept echoing in his ears, and he felt annoyed whenever he thought about it.
At the same time, he was looking forward to the exam that could get him a lot of personal points, wondering when it would start.
Kamio Tatsuya, who was spacing out while drinking iced cola and looking at the sea at an outdoor drink shop, was approached by someone.
"Good afternoon, Kamio-kun. Would you like to have lunch together?"
"Sakayanagi? That's rare. You seem to have been in your room all these days."
Looking at Sakayanagi wearing a white tank top and a large white sun hat, Kamio Tatsuya felt she looked even more like an elementary school student.
If she were carrying a schoolbag...
"Kamio-kun, you're not thinking anything rude, are you?"
Seriously? Do you read minds?
I feel like this person has become more difficult to deal with than before.
Kamio Tatsuya quietly turned his head and continued facing the sea.
"No, you're mistaken."
"If not, then why did you turn your gaze away?"
"Because the sun is too bright."
"But we're under the umbrella."
Sakayanagi said, smiling but being very pushy.
"Your clothes are too white, the sunlight is reflecting off of them."
"Is that so? What about now? I'm also standing under the umbrella now."
Hearing the voice so close behind him, Kamio Tatsuya was speechless. She really had become difficult to deal with.
"You're annoying, Sakayanagi."
"To say a cute girl is annoying, that's not very gentlemanly."
Kamio Tatsuya turned his head to look at Sakayanagi. The one-and-a-half-meter tall Sakayanagi, well, she was quite cute, but unfortunately...
"Hehe, sorry, I'm not interested in elementary school students."
This completely stirred up a hornet's nest. Sakayanagi's previously lively expression disappeared, and she started muttering like a broken doll.
"I see. I'm sorry I look like an elementary school student."
"Kamio-kun likes girls like Masumi, since he has a thing for legs."
"I also heard that Kamio-kun slept with Shiina..."
"STOP!"
Seeing Sakayanagi was saying more and more outrageous things, Kamio Tatsuya immediately stopped her. Who the heck spread that last rumor?
Did someone overhear Shiina saying that before?
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have said you looked like an elementary school student. So, what do you want?"
Kamio Tatsuya gave up. He really should stay away from this person in the future.
"That's rude, Kamio-kun. Didn't I say? Would you like to have lunch together?"
"Fine, fine, I'm scared of you." Kamio Tatsuya picked up the cola on the table and finished it in one go. "What do you want to eat?"
"Let me think, does Kamio-kun think steak or pasta is better?"
Without thinking, Kamio Tatsuya crushed the cup in his hand and pointed a finger at her.
"Sakayanagi, you are this close to getting hit."
"That's so rude, Kamio-kun." Seeing Kamio Tatsuya like this made Sakayanagi very happy. "Forget it, let's have Chinese food today. Can Kamio-kun handle it?"
Are you asking if I can handle Chinese food? Who do you think I am?
A few minutes later, at the Chinese restaurant on the ship, while they were waiting for the food, Kamio Tatsuya asked Sakayanagi about her true purpose.
"So, what did you want to see me about? It's not really just to have lunch together, is it?"
"Oh my, Kamio-kun doubts my sincerity. Can't I just want to chat with you, so I invited you?"
Kamio Tatsuya was almost disgusted to death by Sakayanagi's appearance.
She's definitely doing this on purpose.
But there's nothing he can do. The upcoming exam that could get him a lot of points might still need her help, so he could only put up with it for now.
Besides, Kamio Tatsuya was fully capable of matching her word-for-word.
He even managed to break her earlier.
Right, Sakayanagi elementary school student?
"Should I believe you, or believe that the Earth will be destroyed tomorrow?"
"You really are not romantic at all."
"Just say what you want to say!"
Kamio Tatsuya said impatiently.
After a bit of silence, Sakayanagi sighed softly.
"Kamio-kun, you showing off so much on the desert island is making this difficult for me."
Sakayanagi's words almost made Kamio Tatsuya jump up.
You jerk!
Didn't you tell me to strongly hurt Katsuragi?
Now that I actually hurt him, you're not happy?
Are you a dog?
If it's difficult, then don't do it!
Even if Kamio Tatsuya didn't say anything, Sakayanagi could get a rough idea of what he was thinking from his expression.
"I'm just kidding, I'm just a little worried."
"Hehe, that's not a funny joke."
Kamio Tatsuya said with a fake smile.
"Actually, I'm still very thankful that you strongly taught Katsuragi a lesson on the desert island, but if you continue to be in the spotlight like this, Ayanokouji probably won't even have the idea of showing off."
It would have been easier to say this from the start. Even after talking this long, Kamio Tatsuya still didn't understand why Sakayanagi had to compete with Ayanokouji.
For almost half a year, Kamio Tatsuya had not seen any signs of ambition from Ayanokouji.
If it wasn't for Chabashira's threats, Ayanokouji probably wouldn't have even participated in this desert island activity.
Speaking of which, this desert island exam was thanks to Ayanokouji.
If it wasn't for him, Kamio Tatsuya probably wouldn't have figured out who the leader of Class D was.
If the students in his class hadn't found him when he went out to scout, Kamio Tatsuya wouldn't have taken that crucial photo evidence.
I feel like I owe him one.
If there's a chance in the future, I'll just get this guy to leave Class D too.
Anyway, he's probably very annoyed with Chabashira's threats.
Most importantly, if I want to destroy Class D in the future, Ayanokouji might be forced to fight back and become an obstacle, just like Koenji.
