Since Ryuen didn't speak, Kamio Tatsuya also remained patient. Besides, it was indeed lunchtime, so filling his stomach was more important than anything.
After putting a piece of meat wrapped in lettuce into his mouth, Kamio Tatsuya felt very satisfied.
After all, he was really hungry.
"Good taste."
"Looks like you're pretty happy with this place's taste."
"It's alright."
Kamio Tatsuya replied while eating.
Watching Kamio Tatsuya, who didn't change his expression even when facing him, Ryuen narrowed his eyes. This guy looked like a nobody at first glance, but he didn't expect him to have this much nerve.
Just then, someone showed up: Shiina Hiyori.
Seeing her a little out of breath, she probably ran over.
"Yo, didn't expect you to come, Hiyori."
Seeing Shiina's arrival, Ryuen greeted her casually.
"Why did you bring Kamio-kun here behind my back?"
Kamio Tatsuya had never seen Shiina's expression before. She looked very angry.
"Of course I can't tell you that. Besides, you're here now, so sit down."
Ryuen was really reckless, shutting down Shiina with a few words so she couldn't keep asking.
"Sit down first, Shiina. We can talk about anything after you sit down."
"Sorry, Kamio, for causing you trouble."
Shiina Hiyori had a very apologetic look on her face. It didn't seem like she was putting on an act with Ryuen.
"It's okay, I'm happy when someone treats me to a meal." Kamio Tatsuya said casually, "So, Ryuen, we're not related or anything, so you didn't just call me here for a meal, right?"
Ryuen stopped moving the barbecue meat and looked up, looking at Kamio Tatsuya with a half-smile.
"You really don't know why I asked you here?"
Kamio Tatsuya's heart skipped a beat. This guy... does he know that I'm the anonymous poster? Hmm... it wouldn't be strange.
"I can guess, but I still want you to say it yourself."
Yeah, what if my guess is different from what you want to say? Wouldn't I be exposing myself?
Then we'd all be staring at each other, how awkward would that be?
You know?
Ryuen glared at Kamio Tatsuya unhappily.
"You have a really awful personality."
Hey, you're not the guy who had a black guy corner me in the library, so you don't have the right to say that, okay?
"Same to you."
"I heard that in the first week of school, you blackmailed three million private points from Class A using information about the behavior and ethics test."
Damn it, it really was Sakayanagi, that jerk. She really leaked the information. Kamio Tatsuya felt like she had been too quiet lately, so this is what she was waiting for.
Oh well, I didn't really expect her to keep it a secret anyway. In the end, it was just a verbal agreement.
"What do you mean blackmail? That sounds really bad. It was clearly a willing transaction."
Kamio Tatsuya's face showed dissatisfaction.
"So you admit that happened?"
"You've already said it so clearly, what's the point of denying it?"
Kamio Tatsuya thought Ryuen was being really slow sometimes.
"Why didn't you leak the news to Class D? If you had told them..."
Ryuen hadn't finished speaking when he noticed Kamio Tatsuya staring at him with a look that said 'you're an idiot'.
"Okay, I admit I asked a stupid question." Ryuen rubbed his head, feeling that this guy was indeed different.
"You actually want to ask if I'm the one who's been posting anonymously on the forum, right?"
Looking at Ryuen's struggling appearance, Kamio Tatsuya rolled his eyes. This guy really wasn't being direct.
Since you know about my blackmailing... uh, my transaction with Class A from Sakayanagi, then you must also know from her that I might be the anonymous poster.
We're already face to face, and you're still testing me over and over again. You're being really wishy-washy.
In reality, Ryuen did want to ask that question, but the topic went off course along the way.
"You're pretty smart. So are you or aren't you?"
"What if I am?"
A cold smile appeared on Ryuen's face: "In that case, I can only ask you to stay away from our class's students."
Stay away from your class's students?
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Shiina, who looked a little deflated, her little hands clenched tightly, looking cute and pitiful.
Kamio Tatsuya reached out and gently patted her clenched fist to signal her to calm down.
Ryuen's face began to darken when he noticed this.
Damn it! What the hell? Flirting with our class's flower right in front of me, the leader of Class C? Are you being a little too cocky!?
"You think my contact with Shiina could leak Class C's information?"
Ryuen nodded slightly, still looking at Kamio Tatsuya with displeasure.
"That's it?" Kamio Tatsuya couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like you don't know me very well. Do you think I would care about boring things like class competition?"
"Probably not." Ryuen nodded. "Hiyori is the same way, and she probably wouldn't sell out the class's information either."
"Then what did you call me here for?"
"Although I trust Hiyori, there will naturally be people in the class who don't trust her because of that. Just the existence of such a situation could affect my plans, and the resulting losses would be immeasurable."
If that's how you feel, you might as well just lock your class up and not let Class C people interact with people from other classes. Wouldn't that be better?
Just say you want trouble! You have to use Shiina as an excuse. It's a little hard to watch.
"Although what you said makes sense, I refuse."
"Oh? You don't want to cut ties with Hiyori that much?" A smile appeared on Ryuen's face. "It's not impossible, as long as you can sell out Class D's information."
Sell out Class D's information? Be a spy...
So this is what you're after.
It's not impossible. Kamio Tatsuya really hates Class D. He hates not only the students but also the teacher.
"Although I don't mind selling out Class D's information, wouldn't that make me look like your subordinate? So I refuse." Kamio Tatsuya refused Ryuen without thinking. "But if we keep going back and forth like this, you definitely won't let it go. So let's make a bet."
Hearing this, Ryuen became interested. He liked betting.
"Bet? What do you want to bet on?"
"With the midterm exams as the deadline, you can mess with me however you want during this time. As long as you can make me fail, I promise to help you provide Class D's information. I'll even throw in some important information. If you can't do it, then don't bother me and Shiina anymore."
A smile appeared on Kamio Tatsuya's face.
"Heh, are you provoking me?"
A smile appeared on Ryuen's face. He looked a little excited.
"Call it what you want. Do you want to try?"
"Heh, I hope you don't regret it."
Ryuen couldn't stand being provoked the most. After seeing the playful smile on Kamio Tatsuya's face, he immediately agreed.
In fact, Kamio Tatsuya didn't want to have anything to do with Ryuen. However, since he got information about him from Sakayanagi, the current situation was inevitable. Shiina was just an excuse.
If I back down this time, how will Kamio Tatsuya face people in the future?
If I back down this time, it will only make Ryuen more demanding!
I might even have to go around him when I see him in the future. That would be too embarrassing.
Don't I have any pride?
Speaking of which, it's all Sakayanagi's fault.
Sigh, the money from Class A really isn't that easy to get.
And Ryuen is also an idiot, actually being used as a tool by Sakayanagi so easily.
Just you wait, I'll show you.
