In fact, I can add unlimited points

Hearing this, Miki Yamamura breathed a sigh of relief, but after regaining her senses, she immediately realized what an absurd question she had asked.

The girl squatted on the ground with a shy face, first picking up the ribbon, then burying her head in her knees like an ostrich, too ashamed to be seen.

I should have stayed in the shadows instead of hoping to see the light.

As long as there are no expectations, there will be no disappointment, and one can protect oneself from external harm.

"Ah~" Just as the girl was feeling sorry for herself, she suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness. When she opened her eyes, she found that she had been lifted off the ground by Aragaki-san, who had one arm around her shoulder and the other under her knees.

"What...what...what!!!"

Miki Yamamura was so excited that she was incoherent, but instinctively wrapped her arms around the boy's neck, afraid that she would fall.

But wouldn't that turn it into a complete princess carry? Why would I have such a dream!

"Look at how disappointed you are, little autistic one. How about I just take you back to my room and eat you up?"

"Ugh~" The girl blushed as she was teased so directly, burying her face in the man's chest and refusing to speak.

If I'm just eaten like this, I'll be discarded soon, won't I?

But even if it is abandoned, it will only return to its previous unnoticed daily life, and the future cannot possibly get any worse.

She had neither wealth nor beauty; the only thing that could deceive Aragaki-kun was her feelings.

Just don't have any expectations, just don't ask for more.

Waaah~ I can't fool myself, I just can't do this kind of thing!

If she were deceived emotionally and then abandoned, she would truly cry in despair.

"I told you I wouldn't abandon you. Don't just sit here feeling down. My reputation outside isn't that bad, is it?"

"But someone like me..."

"There aren't that many 'buts'. You may not believe in yourself, but you should at least believe in me."

"I...I understand."

Under Aragaki Shun's serious gaze, Yamamura Miki shrank back somewhat timidly.

But as long as she wasn't abandoned, she was content.

As for anything else, she felt there was no need to consider it.

The girl wanted to interact with people, but she was also afraid of being watched by too many people.

With Aragaki being so popular, if I were to become his official girlfriend, I'd definitely attract the attention of most people in the school, right?

The thought of that is terrifying.

As long as Aragaki doesn't kick her out and is still willing to communicate with her via email before bed as usual, that's fine.

Remarking that Ms. Miki was a bit too easy to coax, Shun Aragaki hugged her and tried to leave the area at the stern of the ship.

But after taking only a few steps, seeing Kikyo Kushida still unconscious on the deck, the leader of Class A hesitated for a moment.

He doesn't dislike dealing with bad women, except for unreasonable troublemakers whose actions are illogical.

After a moment of silence, Shun Aragaki turned his gaze to the invisible panel that only he could see.

Since the exam on the deserted island ended, the displayed source energy has increased again.

[Achievement Completed: Victory after Victory! Another win in the class competition, Source Power +3.]

[Achievement Completed: Set a record by achieving an unprecedented score in a special exam, Source Power +4.]

[Achievement Completed: The Beginning of Change - Due to your performance, the school has decided to revise the future competition mode. Source Power +6]

[Source Energy: 10 → 23 (Current efficiency: 5 items per month)]

The available source power has accumulated to 13, which is not considered scarce under normal circumstances, but it is not enough for the time being to condense the new talent [Sun's Familiar].

Strength, physique, agility, and several skills all have room for improvement.

But upon closer examination, it seems that doing so wouldn't help resolve Kikyo Kushida's problem.

Or we could just expel them from school.

Or perhaps we could develop a hypnotic skill to help her readjust her mind?

197. Escape Game; Kushida got completely messed up.

"Forget it, let her lie here. It wouldn't be good if someone picked up her body and took her away."

Putting aside all those messy thoughts, Shun Aragaki put Miki Yamamura down from his arms, squatted down, and flicked Kushida's eyebrows twice with his fingers.

Although she is essentially a strange woman whose behavior and logic are hard to understand, it must be admitted that Kushida looks quite cute when she collapses and falls asleep on the ground.

Seeing this, Miki Yamamura, who had just escaped the boy's princess carry, pursed her lips, feeling a little lost.

Compared to Kushida, a beautiful girl who is quite popular even among upperclassmen, I am indeed too ordinary.

However, just over ten minutes earlier, she had also witnessed Kikyo Kushida arguing and acting hysterically towards Aragaki.

This seemingly cheerful, optimistic, and kind little angel appears to have another side that is unknown to others.

As she pondered this, the girl quietly watched Aragaki Shun's movements.

Although I don't know what he's doing, Aragaki-kun's actions must have some deeper meaning.

Several seconds later, the brown-haired girl, whose forehead was stinging, struggled to sit up.

Shun Aragaki immediately put his index finger to his lips, signaling Miki Yamamura to be quiet.

The little nobody didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop her from obediently taking a step back.

Then, this one step made all the difference. Kushida, who had just woken up, instinctively looked around, but she was completely unaware of the girl with the side ponytail standing not far from her.

Miki Yamamura blended perfectly into the night, a seemingly impossible situation that was actually an everyday occurrence for the girl.

To her surprise, Aragaki Shun was also casually leaning against the wall, but the classmate from Class D was completely unaware.

Shancun's eyes widened. At that moment, she felt her heart suddenly race, and her gaze was completely fixed on that person.

The man who would exchange emails with her at night, then steal her first kiss without warning, and did so many bad things to her.

So you are one too...

Before Miki Yamamura could sort out her chaotic thoughts, Kushida, who had woken up and was sitting on the deck, looked around at the surroundings. The cold wind blew into her still dazed mind, and she finally became completely awake.

She recalled the conflict with Shun Aragaki before she lost consciousness, and now there wasn't a soul in sight.

In other words, after that bastard knocked me unconscious, he just left me here without doing anything and ran away by himself?

“I ￥＃￥＆*@＃￥”

Countless negative emotions surged into her heart, and the girl's face gradually became ferocious, about to utter countless foul words.

Then, the next moment, a heavy pressure came from her shoulder. Just as Kikyo Kushida was about to scream, the world in front of her began to spin again, and then everything returned to darkness.

Miki Yamamura: "..."

Watching Aragaki Shun knock Kushida unconscious for the second time, the nobody hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

Although it was obvious that the other party was going to swear, is it really appropriate to bully a girl like this?

"Do I feel like I was too lenient with Kushida in the past?"

After knocking the brown-haired girl unconscious again, Aragaki Shun remained calm and composed, even having the leisure to quietly explain to Yamamura Miki.

"Otherwise, why would she dare to give me attitude to my face and call me a traitor as if it were her right!"

Perhaps for Kikyo Kushida, Shun Aragaki, who knew her true colors and still invited her to date on that day, was special.

Conversely, Kushida probably also thought that he was special to Aragaki Shun.

But the key point is, didn't you decisively refuse that time?

At the time, Shun Aragaki was not yet dating Chihiro Shiranami, and he happened to be looking for someone to satisfy his physical needs. Seeing that the atmosphere was right, he casually made a suggestion to Kushida.

If you had agreed back then, that would have been fine, but the reality is that there was no private contact between the two of you, and in some ways you couldn't even be considered friends.

When he and Shiraha confirmed their relationship, and Kushida angrily came to his door, he bluntly told her, "You're useless now, don't bother me all the time."

But now it seems that the other party is still as self-righteous as ever.

Is this crazy? Apart from that chance encounter, is there any closer relationship between us?

You really think you're the only option? So what if I'm close to Wang Meiyu and Horikita Suzune? What right do you have to question me like this?

"Some fools won't listen to you no matter how you talk to them, and they only behave after you've been taught a lesson."

Shun Aragaki's tone was indifferent.

Faced with this kind of shameless person who can't see the situation clearly and keeps pushing her luck, he doesn't mind making a deep impression on her at all.

"Alright, let her calm down first, and let's keep waiting."

Miki Yamamura blinked, seemingly unconcerned about Shun Aragaki's behavior.

After all, she was just a nobody who could carry out stalking behavior under Sakayanagi's orders.

Because of their unique upbringing, the girls' moral bottom line is relatively flexible.

Why did Aragaki pull me over and hug me again?

"It seems that Kushida-san didn't notice Aragaki-san just now, oh dear~"

Despite the shame of being groped by bad guys, Miki Yamamura asked this very important question, and then, without realizing it, she was bullied and made cute noises.

Leaning weakly against the wall, the girl covered her flushed face with her palms. Her face was so small, why did Aragaki-san still...?

“I do have similar skills, and I can actively adjust my presence so that I am not noticed by others.”

Shun Aragaki made no attempt to hide anything, frankly admitting, "But I only learned it recently. I found Miki's traits very useful, so I tried to create a similar ability for myself."

To be fair, in Shun Aragaki's eyes, this world can only be described as an ordinary world without any extraordinary features, with various physical parameters not much different from his previous life.

However, in subtle ways, the rules of the two worlds should still be somewhat different.

The reason for this judgment is that some people in this world do possess traits that sound normal but are actually not normal at all.

The most obvious example is Miki Yamamura in his arms. How can someone be so naturally lacking in presence, and even when standing in front of others, she is ignored and forgotten?

Another one is Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. If the information is correct, this guy was able to beat up a room full of adults before he was even ten years old.

Furthermore, Ichinose Honami's affable nature, if not for Aragaki Shun's repeated interventions, might have led the entire class to fall into angelic ways at the beginning of the school year.

Of course, these abilities are not quite extraordinary, but upon closer examination, they are certainly enough to be considered cheating.

Miki Yamamura, of course, had no idea what Shun Aragaki was thinking, because she had just heard the matter-of-fact response from the person behind her and had fallen into a daze—

What does it mean to have just learned something recently? I saw that this trait was very useful, so I tried to create a similar ability for myself?

Putting aside whether something that makes one feel insignificant is actually useful.

The question is, is this kind of ability something that can be learned simply by wanting to learn it?

She had never seen a similar situation in anyone else from childhood to adulthood.

"Compared to other skills, it is indeed very difficult. Even though I can apply the knowledge to other skills, I still put in a lot of effort to master it completely."

Oh, it's Aragaki-kun. Then there's no problem.

After all, he was the undisputed champion who swept through all the competitive clubs in his first month of school, so it seems no problem for him to achieve this level.

And that's not important; what she really wants to ask is—

"Can I, like Aragaki-kun, proactively adjust my own presence?"

Despite sharing similar traits with me, Aragaki is clearly different and doesn't suffer from being ignored by everyone.

If I could do that, then... I can't think of what I should do after the change?

"I can teach Miki how to use this ability, but we'll see if it works."

After all, the two are clearly in different situations. Miki Yamamura only has one talent that makes her presence inconspicuous, while Shun Aragaki has too many abilities, making him easy to attract attention no matter when or where he is.

"Besides, Miki isn't the kind of person who likes crowds. You're just afraid of being alone and want to communicate with people."

"But I won't be influenced by your qualities, and I won't ignore you. If you feel lonely, just stay by my side."

"Ugh~" Hearing such a sweet promise, Miki Yamamura trembled. Even though she felt she was not qualified, the girl couldn't help but have fantasies in her heart.
