Heh heh heh~

"Yo, Kamuro, you're here too. What a coincidence."

U Amakusa greeted her as he walked over to Kamuro's side, then lowered his voice and said, "I saw what you did just now. You don't want anyone else to know, right?"

Kamuro visibly panicked, swallowing hard over and over.

"I... don't, don't understand what you're, what you're talking about!"

"It's fine if you don't understand. I recorded it properly."

U Amakusa said it like it was nothing, then opened the fridge right in front of Kamuro and pulled out a beer.

The move left Kamuro completely dumbfounded.

Bro, we're not old enough to buy alcohol, are we? Or are you doing the same thing I'm doing right in front of me??

"Open your bag. What are you staring at me for?"

"Huh?"

"Fine, I'll do it myself." U Amakusa sighed and opened Kamuro's bag.

There was almost nothing inside. It was obvious Kamuro had come prepared.

"Relax. Nothing's going to happen with me here."

U Amakusa couldn't help but want to laugh at how nervous Kamuro looked.

Only after stuffing five bottles into Kamuro's bag did U Amakusa lazily zip it shut.

The bag felt cold and damp from the ice.

Then, while Kamuro stood there stunned, he took her hand and headed for the convenience store entrance.

On the way out he even flashed an OK sign at the girl at the counter.

The girl nodded back.

The OK wasn't really to tell the cashier he was done. U Amakusa had done it specifically so Sakayanagi would see.

In truth, after witnessing the scene, Sakayanagi had a pretty good idea what U Amakusa had pulled off, even if she didn't know how.

It made Sakayanagi interested in U Amakusa.

Meanwhile, U Amakusa, still holding Kamuro's hand, licked his lips like some kind of pervert.

"Kamuro, you don't want the school finding out what you just did, right?"

Kamuro's pupils shrank. She clutched her chest and backed away, staring at U Amakusa warily.

"You! What are you trying to do!"

"Obviously the kind of thing that can be done~"

"Hah? This pervert! Die!"

"Orange, do you realize what you were just doing?"

As he spoke, U Amakusa pulled a piece of wire from his pocket and aimed it at the lock on the door to their destination.

Click—

The door opened.

A vast, endless blue sky filled their view. In the distance, high-rises stood tall. This was the rooftop of the school building.

A place from which you could overlook nearly half the campus.

"Nice spot."

U Amakusa stepped into the area students weren't allowed to enter, sounding moved.

He spread his arms and felt the breeze. There were plenty of reasons he'd chosen to come here.

The view was good, the atmosphere was good, and U Amakusa had wanted to see the school rooftop for a long time.

More importantly, the white-haired loli couldn't follow them up here.

Kamuro, following behind U Amakusa, looked lost. Subjectively, she felt afraid—in every sense of the word.

She was a repeat offender, but this was the first time she'd been caught.

She'd imagined this day might come, but... now that it had, she still regretted stealing in the first place.

So much so that she didn't even notice U Amakusa had started calling her Orange.

"Oh? There's even a bench here. Then why lock the door? Did some senior pull off something legendary in here?"

U Amakusa voiced his surprise, brushed the dust off the seat, and sat down.

"I bet this place used to reek of hormones!"

Even though U Amakusa was doing his best to lighten the mood, Kamuro still didn't answer.

Even so, U Amakusa had no intention of backing down from his original plan.

"You did it because it felt thrilling, right?"

The moment those words left his mouth, Kamuro reacted violently.

"W-what are you saying! I don't understand! I'm leaving!"

Lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharper blade.

Beer isn't something valuable, so doing this for money is out of the question.

Kamuro isn't a drunkard, either.

U Amakusa silently opened his recording.

"Take a look."

Seeing the scene in the phone recording, Kamuro's first reaction was to snatch the phone.

But U Amakusa caught her hand in one motion. He frowned and said, "The mistake isn't the theft; the mistake is refusing to repent."

Hm?

The strength coming from his hand shocked Kamuro immensely. In her impression, shouldn't U Amakusa be a weakling?

But now wasn't the time to focus on that.

Kamuro suddenly remembered: wasn't U Amakusa her accomplice?

Why was he the one lecturing her?

"Shut up, aren't you the same?"

Thinking this, Kamuro felt a bit more confident in her speech.

"I'm different from you, Orange. I actually bought it."

U Amakusa shrugged indifferently, with no intention of explaining further.

"What do you mean?"

"Wait, did you just call me Orange again?" Kamuro didn't like that nickname.

"Heh heh heh~ That's not up to you." U Amakusa let go of Kamuro's hand. "Don't you think this is thrilling? Let me satisfy you. Heh heh heh~"

"What do you want to do! Stay away from me!"

"You wouldn't want the school to find out about this, would you?"

U Amakusa shook his phone and continued, "Let me see what color panties you're wearing today. Lift them up yourself."

"Impossible!" Kamuro refused with a look of disgust and immediately prepared to leave.

But U Amakusa wouldn't let Kamuro leave just like that.

He forcefully grabbed Kamuro's hands, wrapped an arm around her waist, sat down on the bench, and pulled her over to pin her down.

The whole process wasn't very fast, yet Kamuro hadn't reacted in time.

Feeling the immense strength coming from his hands and body, it was no exaggeration to say she didn't have a shred of power to resist.

"What are you doing! Pervert!"

"This is your punishment."

As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound rang out.

Kamuro bit her lip hard, her face flushing as if she had been holding her breath for too long. She hadn't expected U Amakusa to actually dare—dare to hit her.

The pain radiating from her backside served as a constant reminder to Kamuro that this wasn't a dream.

"Let me go! You big pervert! Bleep---"

"Oh my, such a foul mouth."

U Amakusa was in an incredibly good mood and naturally didn't care at all.

I don't know how much time passed.

"How is it? Isn't this much more thrilling than stealing?"

"None of your business!"

Kamuro didn't want to admit it at all—didn't want to admit that for a split second, she felt this was even more thrilling than stealing.

Seeing this, U Amakusa reached out to stroke Kamuro's hair, saying in a gentle tone, "If you're looking for thrills, come to me instead of doing illegal things.

I will give you even more thrills, so there is no need to do such things anymore."

He's clearly a pervert... he's really pushing his luck...

With a blushing face, Kamuro turned her head away awkwardly, pouting her lips, looking completely unconvinced.

She didn't want to admit it... even though her voice lacked any confidence, sounding as faint as a mosquito.

"Shut up..."

Heh heh heh~ Heh heh heh~

"Of course, the previous request still stands. This is my hush money."

U Amakusa, who had just been acting serious, suddenly changed his demeanor. He let Kamuro get up from his lap, muttering the word "panties" under his breath.

"Huh? I don't want to!"

Having regained her freedom, Kamuro instinctively rejected U Amakusa's demand.

Thinking back to how she had just been subdued by this weakling, she wanted to strike back.

But it was only a thought.

Although she didn't know how U Amakusa had suddenly gained such strength, she knew that if she really fought back, she would only be inviting humiliation upon herself.

"What was the principal's email address again? Forget it, I'll just check the school's official website."

U Amakusa pretended to fiddle with his phone for a moment.

"Wait, I'll do it!"

Then, Kamuro reluctantly lifted her skirt, revealing a flash of white.

"Oh~ so it's white panties today~"

"How humiliating... you pervert, just you wait."

Kamuro spat out her usual harsh words, looking at U Amakusa with the same disgust one might reserve for vomit.

U Amakusa didn't mind; wasn't this just part of the mood?

"Are you done yet!"

"Not yet, not yet."

Kamuro's hand, holding up her skirt, couldn't help but tremble as the pervert U Amakusa leaned in so close to get a better look.

He was only about half an arm's length away, and what's more, U Amakusa was watching with intense focus.

For a split second, U Amakusa wondered if he should take a photo. After much deliberation, he decided against it.

If he really did that, Kamuro would definitely drop her skirt.

However, it wasn't a total loss.

Through his observation, U Amakusa could confirm one thing.

That was, Kamuro was not currently on her period.

After all, there was no pad there.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Click—

"Just keeping a souvenir, of course."

In the end, U Amakusa chose to take the photo.

However, he didn't aim it at her panties; to be precise, he captured Kamuro in her entirety.

In the photo, her slightly flushed face and expression of disgust were clear, as was the fact that she was holding up her skirt despite her reluctance.

And from her thighs, wrapped in knee-high socks, all the way to her pure white panties, everything was in full view.

To be honest, Kamuro's cold, tsundere personality was perfectly suited for a look of disdain.

This photo fully highlighted Kamuro's charm.

"You pervert! Delete that!"

Realizing what U Amakusa had done, Kamuro immediately lunged at him, claws out, trying to snatch the phone.

Clearly, she had already forgotten what happened just moments ago.

Unsurprisingly, Kamuro was subdued once again.

"Pervert! Scum! I'll kill you!"

She threw a few punches, but they didn't hurt U Amakusa at all.

"Why haven't you learned your lesson yet, Orange~"

"Shut up! Don't call me Orange!"

Even with her hands restrained, Kamuro remained defiant, though the immense strength gripping her wrists made her face flush with color.

"Oh my, looks like you need a punishment."

Pfft—

"You bastard! That's too far! Pervert! I'm actually going to get angry now!"

So you weren't angry before?

Still, that was about enough.

Before Kamuro could say anything else, U Amakusa quickly released her hands.

He retreated several steps, grabbed the school bag containing the beer, and hurried toward the rooftop door.

"Bye~ Orange~"

Mwah~

U Amakusa blew a kiss before leaving.

He left behind a completely bewildered Kamuro, who couldn't keep up with the pace and remained dazed for a long while.

Hit and run...

At that moment, a sharp, explosive scream erupted from the school building's rooftop.

"U Amakusa------------!!"
