It seemed the school had transferred the points already. I thought they wouldn't arrive until next month. Heh, this worked out nicely. Now he could go buy a computer.
[Beep...]
[You have received a follow from Ichinose Honami]
"Huh? What's going on? I haven't even done anything. Why did she follow me? Could this be another one of Hoshinomiya-sensei's ideas?"
"Whatever. No point overthinking it. I'm only four follows away from mastering cooking. Besides, I'm not particularly fond of Japanese food."
He'd better go take a look right away.
When he arrived at the store, he immediately started browsing. He wanted a top-of-the-line computer, and after asking the clerk a few questions, he decided to buy one that cost a whopping 200,000 points.
Just as he was about to carry the computer home, he spotted a girl nearby. She had fair skin and a cute face, her slender legs covered in white thigh-high socks, and a black beret perched on her head.
What the hell is Sakayanagi doing here? This is bad. I have to get out of here, fast. I did just extort ten million points from her father.
As he turned to leave, their eyes met by chance. Sakayanagi wore a smile that made it seem as if she'd found an interesting new toy.
With no other choice, he gave her a slight nod. To his surprise, Sakayanagi approached him step by step, leaning on her cane.
"Good day, Kitahara-kun. I'm Sakayanagi Arisu of Class 1-A."
How does she know my name, too? First Ichinose, now Sakayanagi. Why do they all know who I am? This is strange.
"Uh, I'm Kitahara Seiichi from Class 1-D. Pleased to meet you."
"Were you just wondering how I knew your name, Kitahara-kun?"
Damn, she saw right through me.
Kitahara nodded slightly.
"It's nothing special. I noticed you after you came out of the school office this morning."
Huh? Why didn't he notice her earlier? Oh, I get it. She must be so tiny that he just didn't see her. In that case, Sakayanagi really is a perfect little loli.
Heh, she's perfect in every way, except for those...
"Ahem. Is Kitahara-kun thinking about something rude?"
"No, no..."
"Hehe. It looks like Kitahara-kun came into some good fortune, doesn't it? To be able to buy..." Sakayanagi said, directing her gaze at the computer in Kitahara's arms.
"Ah, what are you talking about, Sakayanagi-san? I don't know what you mean."
That's right. I have to play dumb. With someone as sharp as Sakayanagi, the more I say, the more I'll give away.
Looking at Kitahara Seiichi pretending not to understand, Sakayanagi maintained her faint smile.
"If you don't want to answer, that's fine. I'll find out eventually anyway."
"In that case, I'll be going?"
"Oh? Are you going to leave me all alone, a helpless girl?"
Come on. If you count as a helpless girl, then every girl in the school must be a saint.
Though he said nothing, Kitahara kept one arm around the computer and held out his other hand to support Sakayanagi.
"Um, Sakayanagi-san, where are you headed now?"
"Kitahara-kun really is a kind person. Come on, let's head back to the dorm. Besides, you'll need to go install your computer, won't you?"
I nodded in response. "Yeah. Let's go."
Who said Sakayanagi was a brat? She's actually very considerate!
"Kitahara-kun, what do you think of this school?"
"It's great, except that I can't contact the outside world. In every other respect, it's much better than the outside."
Seeing that Kitahara Seiichi was still playing dumb, Sakayanagi got straight to the point.
"I think this school is far too boring. There's nothing here that interests me."
"Heh..."
When they reached the dormitory, Kitahara asked, "Sakayanagi, where's your dorm?"
"Honestly, Kitahara-kun, I didn't expect you to be that kind of person. You're curious about where the girls' dorm is?"
Though he knew Sakayanagi was teasing him, I couldn't help feeling exasperated.
Is this what Sakayanagi's attack power is like?
"Uh, I only wanted to walk you to the entrance. Since you put it that way, I won't walk you any farther."
"Oh? Aren't you curious what the girls' dorm looks like?"
"I'm not curious. Not at all." Kitahara shook his head.
If I said I was curious, I'd probably have to spend the whole night in a friendly discussion with Chairman Sakayanagi.
"In that case, I'll see you next time. It was brief, but quite interesting."
Faced with Sakayanagi's faint smile, Kitahara hurriedly replied, "See you next time. See you next time."
Only after Kitahara Seiichi returned to his dorm did he finally let out a small breath of relief.
Honestly, whenever I'm around Sakayanagi, I feel this inexplicable pressure in the air. I really don't want to see her again.
What was that? So many unexpected things happened today. Sigh. I wonder if I'll make it through high school in one piece.
There's no need to be so afraid. I still have the system as my trump card.
But to be safer, I'll have to make Ayanokoji draw attention.
Heh heh. Since I've transmigrated, I can't let him keep living peacefully.
Meanwhile, after Sakayanagi returned to her dorm, she took out her phone and opened the page:
[Name: Sakayanagi Arisu Class: Class 1-A Student ID: S01T004737 Points: 824,563]
Kitahara-kun from Class 1-D was more interesting than she'd expected. She wondered whether he was a true genius.
"But to obtain ten million points from my father on the first day of school, he must have discovered the school's rules ahead of time and struck a deal with the school."
"But after paying my father 100,000 points, this is all I managed to find out."
(That's right. Chairman Sakayanagi had only called Arisu over because he was worried about her health. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.)
"Heh. But after looking through the student records, I found out that he came to this school too."
"I'll bury him here, once and for all."
A pink-haired girl, thinking about the same boy as Sakayanagi, was also making different plans based on her own analysis.
