Seeing Sakayanagi like this, Kamio Tatsuya was also curious.
"Didn't you claim to be a true genius? You lost to me so easily just now?"
"A true genius wouldn't give up completely after just one or two failures."
Sakayanagi quickly bounced back.
Kamio Tatsuya wasn't sure if Sakayanagi was a true genius, but at least during the special favors exam, she did find all the favored students in a short amount of time.
From that point of view, her thinking ability was indeed quite good.
"Is that so? Then good luck," Kamio Tatsuya said dismissively to her. "But I think I remember you saying you started playing chess because of Ayanokouji, right?"
"That's right."
"Then why don't you just invite him to play chess directly? That way, you can settle the score immediately. If you can get rid of my entanglement so easily, I don't think Ayanokouji would refuse."
"Can you not make me sound like some lovesick girl?" Sakayanagi's small face showed a displeased expression. "Besides, my feelings for Ayanokouji are only about wanting to defeat her, not anything else."
"Alright, alright. But why are you suddenly telling me this? I don't care what your feelings are for him, it has nothing to do with me."
Kamio Tatsuya found the latter part of Sakayanagi's statement very strange.
He hadn't said she had any special feelings for Ayanokouji.
"Hmph," Sakayanagi sneered. "Speaking of which, both Ayanokouji and I have lost to you before. How about we team up and take you down first?"
He had to be kidding, how did it suddenly turn to him?
Although it would be troublesome if Sakayanagi and Ayanokouji teamed up, Kamio Tatsuya absolutely would not back down at this moment.
"If you can do it, then go ahead," Kamio Tatsuya glanced at Sakayanagi Arisu in front of him. "But before that, you should focus on finding a way to keep your class position.
You're only one special exam away from B class, right? You call yourself a genius, but you're about to lose your class position.
Honestly, I really think there was some kind of inside deal when you were assigned to A class. So far, the only thing you've shown is high academic ability."
"Even for that, Ichinose in class B and Yukimura in class D are not inferior to you at all. And Ichinose doesn't have any physical defects."
"Did you forget what happened during the special favors exam?"
"Isn't it that you found the pattern for selecting favored students before the discussion? I could do that too if I wanted to, it's no big deal."
Kamio Tatsuya continued to provoke Sakayanagi.
"With your vision unable to reach the upper grades, no matter how much you emphasize that you are a genius, it's hard to convince me."
"You've been provoking me since earlier."
"Have I? You made me miss my date with Masumi. This is just a small token of my respect."
"Don't forget that classmate Kamuro is still in your class. Aren't you afraid I'll go after her?"
"Heh, before that, I'll take you down first," Kamio Tatsuya sneered. "Literally."
"Hmph, goodbye!"
Watching Sakayanagi suddenly leave, Kamio Tatsuya frowned. He had no idea what Sakayanagi was up to.
But Kamuro, who was beside him, suddenly burst out laughing, a very unrestrained laugh.
"Puchi! Hahahaha."
"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
"This is my first time seeing that cripple so angry," Kamuro's eyes were full of amusement. "And over something like this."
"What thing?"
Kamio Tatsuya didn't quite understand.
"It's okay if you don't understand now," Kamuro's mood seemed to be very good. "But you don't need to worry about me. Sakayanagi, that cripple, may have a sharp tongue, but she won't attack me first."
"No matter what, I have to be careful," Kamio Tatsuya shook his head. "If anything seems off, you must let me know immediately."
"Okay, I understand," Kamuro nodded happily. "By the way, a movie I like is coming out today. Want to go watch it together?"
"Sure, I'm accompanying you today anyway."
So, dates are really just like this, nothing more than eating, shopping, watching movies, etc. In fact, as long as two people are together, no matter where they are, it counts as a date.
"So many people…"
As soon as they arrived at the cinema, they were a little discouraged by the crowd.
Not only students, but also school faculty and even staff from various facilities were present.
Speaking of which, we're not going home for the New Year because we can't. What's your excuse for not going home? Don't you want to go?
And because the audience is relatively limited, the school's cinema isn't very large, with only three small screening rooms.
"How about we go sing karaoke?"
"Of course."
However, even though it was karaoke, Kamio Tatsuya hadn't heard most of the music in this world, so it was mostly Kamuro singing and Kamio Tatsuya listening.
But speaking of which, although Kamuro's ditziness is cute, she seems to have a talent for the arts.
She sings very well and is also in the art club, and is reportedly performing very well there. Maybe she can develop in this area in the future. It wouldn't hurt for us to borrow some music.
"Tatsuya, you sing a couple of songs too."
"I'll pass. I'm not interested in singing," Kamio Tatsuya refused immediately. "But Masumi, you sing really well. Have you ever thought about becoming a singer?"
"Huh? I can?" Kamuro looked doubtful. "Isn't that very difficult?"
"You can be an online singer, no need to sign with any music company. I'll write the songs, and you'll sing them," Kamio Tatsuya said with a smile. "Once you get famous, you can try releasing albums too."
"You can write songs too?"
Kamuro looked skeptical. Although she knew Kamio Tatsuya was very capable, he could even write songs? That seemed a bit too well-rounded.
"Let's go back."
"Go back?" Kamuro looked skeptical. "Are you trying to escape?"
"What do you think I am?" Kamio Tatsuya said with dissatisfaction. "I'm planning to write a song for you to sing."
Kamio Tatsuya wasn't bragging, he genuinely understood composition.
Of course, this wasn't learned through studying. It was a skill he obtained through a lottery draw in December – specialty in music, which included composition ability.
Speaking of composition, it's essentially just recreating songs he'd heard in his past life. For Kamio Tatsuya, who had advanced composition skills, it was incredibly simple.
"No, you have to sing a part of it first for me."
Kamuro looked at Kamio Tatsuya with anticipation.
Seeing this, Kamio Tatsuya had no choice. He cleared his throat and began to sing.
