Isn't That Me?

"This isn't funny." Kamuro, having been called a paparazzi, immediately wanted to go on strike.

"I'm serious, Kamuro. Look, you're very inconspicuous in a crowd. You have a straight face, yet you blend into the group easily, and no one ever notices you. Isn't it a waste of talent if you don't become a paparazzi?"

"Get lost!" Kamuro Masumi retorted irritably.

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and didn't continue to dwell on the issue; she had intended to use Kamuro Masumi like this from the start.

"What if he closes the curtains?" Kamuro Masumi asked.

"Normal people don't close their curtains. Even if they do, it's only when they go to sleep at night." But Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't be certain.

She was like that herself and assumed others were the same, but many students really did close their curtains.

Because they would turn on the lights during the day anyway, and they didn't really care about ventilation or fresh air.

Fortunately, Yagami Shizuka didn't have the habit of turning on the lights during the day, and he kept his curtains half-open, which was convenient for both sleeping and letting in light.

This made it even easier for Sakayanagi Arisu to spy on him.

"Don't be impatient. I understand adolescent males all too well. As long as they are alone, they are bound to do something. If he doesn't, I'll just leave some photos for him during swimming class, and then... hehehehe!"

Kamuro Masumi rolled her eyes at her, feeling that Sakayanagi was extremely sinister at this moment.

"How despicable! Don't you feel any shame?"

"Shame?" Sakayanagi Arisu rested her chin on her hand, seemingly devoid of any such feeling. She smiled, "When facing an opponent, if you can win with a simple feint, why bother with a fair and square duel?

On the battlefield, if you can turn the tide of victory by sacrificing a few people, why lead thousands to their deaths?

In my eyes, 'despicable' has never been a derogatory term, but a compliment!"

Kamuro Masumi was speechless.

Indeed, if you could win by using strategy to sacrifice a few, why lead thousands to their deaths?

War is a game of deception.

As long as you can win, who cares about the methods?

"There's movement. Quickly, turn on the camera and record it." Sakayanagi Arisu reminded her urgently.

Kamuro Masumi complied, though very reluctantly.

"It's that tablet he just bought for cheap." Sakayanagi Arisu could clearly see the tablet Yagami Shizuka had placed on the desk by the window.

Since it was placed directly on the desktop, she could also see some of the screen.

Her view wasn't very clear from here, but the footage on Kamuro Masumi's end was quite sharp.

Because it was an item previously used by a girl, the decorations and the desktop theme were very feminine.

When opening the photo album, one could see many indecent photos of girls.

"So that's how it is. This saves a lot of trouble." Sakayanagi Arisu felt that she should be able to achieve her goal soon, but she couldn't bring herself to be happy; instead, she felt inexplicably furious.

"Shizuka-kun definitely isn't that kind of person." Kamuro Masumi still refused to believe it, while inwardly praying that he wouldn't be caught by Sakayanagi Arisu, otherwise he would end up just like her.

"He's deleting the photos." Kamuro Masumi felt a secret joy.

Sakayanagi Arisu was also taken aback, feeling that she had underestimated him.

Immediately after, they saw Yagami Shizuka find the factory reset option and tap restart.

Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi looked at each other without saying a word.

Under the circumstances, it would be useless for them to stay here until tomorrow.

Through the telescope, Sakayanagi Arisu also saw the books Yagami Shizuka had borrowed from the library.

They could only be described as bizarre.

He had borrowed a book on architectural engineering, a famous one on Jeet Kune Do passed down from Bruce Lee, and a series on herbal medicine.

She couldn't find any way to connect these three books.

What kind of person would want to learn a little bit of everything?

She recalled Yagami Shizuka telling her that he knew a little bit of everything, which resulted in him not being an expert in anything.

Why learn a little of everything? There was no reason; was it just a hobby?

Trying to learn everything—it would be a miracle if he actually learned anything at all.

After a while, the computer rebooted, and she saw Yagami Shizuka seemingly transferring something via his phone.

"Study materials? It's already after school and he's still studying? What kind of person is this? Boring."

Seeing Yagami Shizuka create a folder named "Study Materials," she immediately lost interest and wanted to hand the work over to Kamuro Masumi.

"No! This isn't right! Sakayanagi, come look at this quickly." Kamuro Masumi's eyes revealed panic; she was clearly frightened.

"What? What's wrong?" Sakayanagi Arisu was also curious and moved to the large telescope to look.

What could be so interesting about study materials?

She could clearly see the image displayed on the camera.

"This is... this...?"

At just a single glance, Sakayanagi Arisu began to laugh, "Hahahaha, although I don't know where he got these pictures, he is finished. Hahaha, tomorrow I will make him taste my wrath; I will make him..."

For the moment, it seemed Sakayanagi Arisu could only think of low-level torture methods like scrubbing toilets.

"That's not it, look closer," Kamuro Masumi said, sounding somewhat anxious.

Only then did Sakayanagi Arisu look over carefully.

"Wait, this hat, the silver hair, the white stockings... this... isn't this me?" Sakayanagi Arisu was dumbfounded, her expression changing instantly, "Where did he get these pictures?!"

Yagami Shizuka was still refining and processing the images, making them increasingly clear. The software he was using could rapidly generate more images from a single photo and even create videos, much like a deepfake.

The convenience of that software was truly breathtaking.

"Don't film! Delete it immediately!"

Sakayanagi Arisu quickly snatched the camera, deleted the content, and checked it repeatedly n times.

She picked up the binoculars to look again. She never imagined that Yagami Shizuka would have something like this, let alone something modeled after her.

Kamuro Masumi seemed to recall something and spoke up, "I saw others playing with celebrity face-swap photos back in middle school. This should be similar technology."

"No, this even shows my white underwear. No matter how much you stitch things together, there should be a limit, right? How could there be someone so coincidentally similar to my appearance and attire? Regardless, the similarity is just too high!"

"Then could it be..." Kamuro Masumi looked at Sakayanagi Arisu, wondering if she had taken the photos herself without realizing it.

"Impossible!" Sakayanagi Arisu stomped her foot, her anger causing her to lose some of her composure.

She had never been so unrefined before.

When she looked through the binoculars again, she found that Yagami Shizuka had already drawn the curtains.

Was there any need to guess? That guy was definitely up to no good.

But did she dare tell the teachers? Did she dare tell anyone else?

She couldn't!

Even if she really wanted to drag him down with her, it would be useless, because Yagami Shizuka, possessing the hints, could destroy the evidence in advance.

Unless she personally captured the evidence and turned it in.

However, she would never do something that caused ten thousand points of damage to herself just to deal eight hundred to the enemy.

At most, Yagami Shizuka would receive a suspension, and it wouldn't have any impact on his personal reputation.

Just think about the possibilities if this matter were to spread.

The boys would say, "Brother, let's have a word in private."

The girls would say, "Yagami-kun really likes Sakayanagi Arisu!"

Even their homeroom teacher, Mashima Tomoya, might secretly approach him: "Private photos of Hoshinomiya-sensei and Chabashira-sensei, name your price!"

It wasn't impossible for such a situation to occur; she was 99% certain that would be the reaction of those people.

And she would become the laughingstock among the students.

So, let alone reporting him, she couldn't even threaten him, and she was forced to abandon the idea of continuing her surveillance.

In fact, what surprised her most was that the other party had managed to obtain these in such a short time, and even the purchase of the tablet seemed to have been calculated.

"He knew I was watching him? No, impossible!" Sakayanagi Arisu immediately denied it; if that were true, it would be too terrifying.

She firmly believed that this must have been a coincidence.

"I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing," Kamuro Masumi analyzed, "The fact that he deleted everyone else's photos and sought out yours—doesn't that just mean he really likes you?"
