There is something wrong with your state of mind.
Kamuro Masumi continued to keep a straight face.

Chapter 029: How nice, Sakayanagi Arisu has found her loyal little puppy!
Kamuro Masumi kept a straight face, but she felt dissatisfied inside.
Was Sakayanagi Arisu staring at her because she was opposing her?
What a strange person.
But precisely because she knew the other party was such a strange person, she could not compromise even more.
Therefore, Kamuro had already decided that she would absolutely not submit to her.
However, Sakayanagi continued.
"Although you are quite stubborn, Kamuro-san, your brain is not sharp enough. You must be thinking that since I never entered the store, and you have superb stealing skills, as long as you avoid the cameras, there is no way to prove you stole anything, right?"
"But have you thought about it? The store takes inventory of its items every single day."
"So, as long as I file a report, the store can quickly verify exactly what has been stolen."
"And since you just walked out of the store, it means you haven't had time to dispose of the stolen goods yet. So, where are the stolen goods now? In your jacket pocket, or your skirt pocket? Kamuro Masumi-san." After finishing her sentence, Sakayanagi Arisu began to smile brightly.
She looked just like a little devil who had victory in her grasp.
And Kamuro understood it now.
So, was this the reason Sakayanagi Arisu specifically stood at the entrance of the convenience store?
To catch her red-handed.
However.
"It is impossible to check the store's inventory every day." Kamuro did not back down. "So you are bluffing."
"Naturally, I wouldn't fall for it, and I didn't steal anything."
Although she said that, Kamuro knew that she had indeed pocketed the stolen red pen.
Usually, she would choose to return the stolen items the next day... but she had indeed stolen it now, and it was still on her person, so there was still a risk if she were searched.
However.
Even if she were searched, one couldn't say that this specific red pen was the one that was just lost. It could have been one she bought earlier.
After all, it is a new semester, so the volume of purchases by students is quite high, and there are many people who have bought red pens.
The school cannot investigate all of them.
Even if they did, the workload would be immense.
Therefore, everything was just Sakayanagi trying to bluff her, and thinking this way made her feel much more at ease.
"Then, what if I paid a fee to request the store staff to do so? This store usually checks every three days, but since I paid the fee, they have already started checking daily. As for the cost of doing so... hehe." Sakayanagi Arisu continued. "You should know, you are currently free, and the money that would have been used to hire you can be used elsewhere."
"..." Kamuro.
"..." Kamuro had nothing to say.
But there was one thing she knew.
That was, the school life that was already stressful was now going to be covered by even more pressure.
"The two girls in front seem to be from Class A."
"And the one walking in front seems to be the Sakayanagi-san you mentioned, Shirogane-kun."
In a coffee shop, at an outdoor seat, Shiina Hiyori held a cup of coffee in her left hand and suddenly spoke as she looked outside.
She was waiting for Shirogane-kun to buy coffee.
It couldn't be helped; after spending these days together, she had basically confirmed that Shirogane-kun was indeed a very hardworking person.
He truly studied every day until late at night.
It was quite terrifying.
However, this also caused Shirogane-kun to often lack energy during the day, so he needed coffee to keep going.
Just now, after leaving, Shirogane-kun felt drowsy, so at her suggestion, they came over to get some coffee together.
As for Hiyori, although she liked milk tea, drinking coffee occasionally was not bad either.
"Sakayanagi-san?"
Shirogane-kun had finished his purchase and walked out, noticing the two girls walking on the street. One was a super cute silver-haired girl holding a cane, but following behind her was a tall girl with purple hair, carrying two shopping bags with an expressionless face.
She wore two hairpins, and her appearance was elegant and dignified, but she seemed to be in a bad mood.
So, she kept a straight face.
"But that girl with the purple hair—" Classmate Shiina noticed Kamuro behind Classmate Sakayanagi.
"That is also a student from Class A, her name is Kamuro Masumi," Shirogane said.
Actually, he could have also mentioned that this Classmate Kamuro was the accomplice who reported the dishonest clerk.
However, Shirogane had already deduced that Classmate Kamuro might have a habit of petty theft, and he didn't want to expose her shoplifting.
And from the way Classmate Kamuro kept her face completely expressionless, it was clear that Classmate Sakayanagi had already seized this handle on her.
Given Classmate Sakayanagi's intelligence, after seizing this handle on Classmate Kamuro, she obviously wouldn't let Kamuro continue to steal.
And if a thief doesn't steal, they won't get caught, so Classmate Kamuro could basically stay in school safely.
However, this also meant that Classmate Kamuro's weakness had been sealed by Sakayanagi.
Which meant she couldn't be manipulated.
Unless Classmate Kamuro had some other weaknesses.
"But how should I put it, the way Classmate Sakayanagi and that Classmate Kamuro interact..." Hiyori's gaze hadn't shifted back yet. "It doesn't look like friends, it's more like a driver... well, although it's not very polite, it's like a master and a pet."
Is it really that exaggerated?
Shirogane looked over again; Classmate Sakayanagi seemed to have bought some snacks and handed them to Classmate Kamuro.
It was just like a master feeding a pet.
But it was sternly rejected by Classmate Kamuro.
"I am only temporarily forced to assist you, I am not a pet you keep."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but people who usually say things like this often end up the opposite.

Introduction: [Life Restart Simulator]
[Entering chapter "Ichinose Honami's Summer Reappearance"]
[Five talents have been randomly selected: A Promise Worth a Thousand Gold, Tokyo Handsome Guy, Flower Protector, Scion of a Prestigious Family, Younger-Partner Complex]
[Simulation begins]
[Day 14: On the night of the fireworks festival, you blocked the blade Ichinose Honami aimed at Karuizawa Kei. Under the sorrowful and shocked gazes of the two, you died.]
[This simulation has ended. Please choose one talent to retain and bring into the next simulation.]
[Ending achieved: Bystander -- Human joys and sorrows are not connected; we often ignore the many causes, and all we can see is the result.]
[Ending achieved: Symbiosis -- The strongest relationship in the world is that of accomplices.]
[Ending achieved: Salvation -- Then let's make a promise here to walk a long way together in the future.]
On the day he truly transmigrated and arrived at Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School, Kitagawa Ryo looked at the series of golden talents on his body and scratched his head, saying:
"Uh, but I've already cleared all CGs and all endings."
Chapter 030: So, Class D is full of talent?
Classmate Sakayanagi moved very quickly, directly seizing Classmate Kamuro who could provide her with help.
But the way they interacted was indeed as Classmate Shiina said; it wasn't an equal friendship, and even an employment relationship was a stretch—it was very much a pet-and-master dynamic.
However, if the master is strong enough and can look after you, perhaps it isn't an unacceptable outcome.
Because these aren't ordinary students, they cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes.
And since Classmate Sakayanagi is the big boss of Class A, following Classmate Sakayanagi means Kamuro will be safer and less likely to be expelled.
Likewise, Classmate Kamuro has a habit of petty theft; if Classmate Sakayanagi can correct it, then it is also excellent for her personally.
It's just that, watching them, he still felt a bit envious of Classmate Sakayanagi.
She obtained an assistant so easily.
Of course.
Classmate Shirogane is not that kind of person.
[Actually, if Shirogane-kun wants to keep a pet, it is possible.]
The Narrator System's voice rang in Shirogane's mind.
Just, keeping, a pet?
"A kitten or a puppy?"
[This school has points, so you can buy anything; buying some pets is indeed possible, but I was talking about a person.]
"..."
Shirogane.
You know you're talking about a person, too.
If I were to ask Classmate Sakayanagi, she would likely throw around terms like freeloading, not paying, conquering, or keeping as a pet.
But what is wrong with you, Narration System?
Why are you treating people like pets too?
You've been subtly corrupted.
Although Shirogane did not reply immediately, the voice of the narration continued to sound.
[There are several selectable targets. The success rate is relatively high.]
[Class B of the first year, Ichinose Honami, hmm... the taming difficulty is low, but it is not recommended; she is a good person.]
[Class C of the first year, Shiina Hiyori, the taming difficulty is medium; she has no secrets, but rather hopes to gain a true friend.]
"..." Upon hearing this, Shirogane looked toward Classmate Shiina Hiyori.
??
Classmate Hiyori was quite sensitive, and because she suddenly felt that Classmate Shirogane was looking at her with a gaze that didn't seem to be looking at a person, she turned to investigate, but Classmate Shirogane had already looked away.
[Actually, the students of Class D of the first year are the easiest to tame.]
[Class D of the first year, Horikita Suzune, you already know she is the younger sister of the Student Council President; this sister does not have a good relationship with her brother, and she both respects and fears him. Grasping this relationship will allow you to tame her with extremely high efficiency.]
[Class D of the first year, Kushida Kikyo, possesses excellent social skills and a vast network of connections; she seems to be friends with everyone, but she has a secret. If you grasp it, the taming difficulty is low.]
[Class D of the first year, Sakura Airi, a girl with a dowdy appearance, but she was a gravure idol in middle school; her true self is a beautiful girl idol, but she is very timid. The taming difficulty is the lowest; look, she is looking at you.]
Hmm...
As Shirogane listened to the voice of the narration, he began to look around. Soon, he noticed a girl dressed in a dowdy fashion, with her purplish-red hair styled into two large pigtails and wearing pink-rimmed glasses, who seemed to be looking in this direction.
And that girl should be Sakura Airi.
The gazes of the two seemed to make contact for a brief moment.
Then.
