The unremarkable girl, who wore glasses and had long hair tied up and looked a bit rustic, covered her mouth with her hands, obviously shocked.
It seems that the digital camera fell to the ground and was broken.
Aragaki Shunmi girl pressed the power button several times and reinstalled the battery, but the camera showed no signs of turning on.
"Is the camera broken?" Aragaki Shun took a step forward. "I'll pay the personal points and send it to the store for repair. After all, this accident is my fault."
"No...I was just too careless...Goodbye."
The girl raised her head, as if she had just realized that it was a stranger named Shun Aragaki, but after seeing his face, she took two steps back in fear and subconsciously wanted to get up and run away.
"Stop it!"
Aragaki Shun gave the order directly and firmly, and the girl was like she was under a spell, trembling all over and not daring to move.
The boy looked at the red-haired girl who was so scared that she looked like she was about to cry, speechless. "You look like Sakura Airi from Class D, right? Why do you want to run away when you see me? Am I that scary?"
"No... It's not scary... Aragaki-san is not scary at all... It's, it's me..."
Sakura Airi explained eagerly with tears in her eyes, but no one would believe what she said when they saw her frightened expression.
Fortunately, the surrounding area is a highly developed and relatively remote corner, and no one passes by except the two of them. Otherwise, Aragaki Shun could imagine that he would be widely circulated in the news about bullying country girls tomorrow.
"Forget it! Stop talking! Give me the camera!"
Aragaki Shun sighed, feeling a little tired, and simply stretched out his hand and asked the other party to hand over the camera.
Sakura Airi held up her cherished camera with trembling hands. Her reluctant look would make anyone misunderstand that Aragaki Shun wanted to collect protection money from her.
"Don't worry, I'm the leader of Class A, I wouldn't covet such a small thing from you!"
Aragaki Shun took the camera from the other person in annoyance, but the red-haired girl seemed not to hear anything.
After all, in Sakura Airi's eyes, the boy was a big devil who swept the seniors and threatened the three first-year classes for personal points.
How unlucky was she to have offended him so suddenly!
75. The effect of combining two talents
[Turning danger into safety], this is the talent that Aragaki Shun strengthened last night.
But for a high school student who comes from a wealthy family, has financial freedom, is not lacking in fame and status, and is in good health, what exactly can be considered an auspicious and happy event?
He observed Sakura Airi, who was losing her presence around him and wanted to escape under his gaze, but didn't dare to move.
The boy seemed to understand something.
If judged by the standards of ordinary high school students in Sakurajima, Aragaki Shun is undoubtedly a top-notch student in the school, a one-of-a-kind student who has everything.
In this environment, if we have to say that he is still missing something, it is only the so-called youth, right?
Or to put it bluntly, at his age and in his conditions, he doesn't have a girlfriend who is with him day and night. Isn't this a bit strange no matter how you look at it?
After all, in Sakurajima, not to mention high school students, even in junior high school there are many people who have had several relationships.
Due to the serious phenomenon of declining birth rates in today's society and the influence of the overall atmosphere in Sakurajima, the school rarely cares about the ambiguous feelings between boys and girls.
Students do not feel embarrassed about falling in love. Many boys and girls even show off their love experiences as achievements on their resumes. On the contrary, those boys and girls who remain single after entering high school are more likely to become the target of ridicule in small groups.
It must be said that although Shun Aragaki was treated as the son-in-law and adopted son of a large family in this life, this still cannot change the fact that he has never experienced a complete relationship, either in his previous life or this life.
In his previous life, he was not a complete bachelor, but because of the various pressures in reality, he always thought of building a career before starting a family, and making sure he could support himself before considering marriage.
So every time his family urged him to find someone to marry, Aragaki Shun would delay it as much as possible, and would run away if he couldn't.
Later, plans could not keep up with changes. I woke up in the middle of building my career and suddenly found myself in another world.
In this life, at the beginning, when he had not yet shown enough talent, his adoptive parents just thought he was worthy of their attention and thought that the family would not be short of a pair of chopsticks, so they brought him to the Aragaki family as a distant relative and raised him as their son.
It was not until later when Aragaki Shun showed strength far beyond his peers in all aspects that someone in the Aragaki family suggested that they should simply match him with Ayase and make him the family heir.
Before this, he had no other thoughts about his stepsister Ayase. After all, Ayase was two years younger than him and was only a sophomore in junior high school, not to mention when his adoptive parents hinted at the future with him.
In fact, even now he doesn't think there is any romantic element in his feelings for Ayase.
The two of them are really too familiar with each other.
When Shun Aragaki traveled through time, his physical age returned to that of a three-year-old. He only lived in an orphanage for two years before being taken to the Aragaki family by his adoptive parents.
By this calculation, he became Ayase's older brother at the age of five, and the two have known each other for eleven years. He can still recall many interesting things that happened in these eleven years.
Unconsciously, the little ball gradually became slim and graceful, which made people hard to believe the power of time.
In this situation, Aragaki Shun thought that his feelings for Ayase could not be considered a romantic relationship, but when the Aragaki family asked him if he was willing to change from an adopted son to a son-in-law, he only thought about it for a few seconds and simply agreed.
He didn't care whether he could inherit the resources and connections of the Aragaki family.
But think about it, if he doesn't take on this responsibility, the Aragaki family will still choose other sons-in-law for Ayase in the future.
Rather than letting Ayase marry a stranger whose reliability is unknown, he decided to take care of her for the rest of her life.
The two have been together for eleven years, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to continue working together for decades or even hundreds of years.
"New, Aragaki-san..."
Just as Aragaki Shun was recalling his past life, a weak voice suddenly sounded beside him, waking him up from his inner world.
Aragaki Shun looked up and down at the red-haired girl who was hunching her back and looking away in panic, as if she was curled up in a corner.
It is really hard to understand why the first time the talent [Turning Misfortune into Fortune] came into play, the person chosen was such an inconspicuous country girl.
Ever since [Danger Omen] was upgraded to level 5, Aragaki Shun has never experienced accidents like bumping into people on street corners again.
Because before these accidents happen to him, his intuition will tell him to stop temporarily, otherwise he will get into trouble if he goes forward.
But just now his intuition failed him.
This immediately made him think of the [Turning Disaster into Fortune] that he had strengthened just yesterday. This was the only change that had happened to him recently.
[Danger Sign]: If you go forward, you will be bumped into, warning the host to stop!
[Turn danger into fortune]: The danger is small, the reward is great, and the warning above is overruled.
After imagining the process of these two talents interfering with each other, Aragaki Shun didn't know what expression he should show.
By the way, he has been single for decades in his past and present lives. Has it become so serious that he can't even stand his talent?
Or was it actually the uncontrollable desire deep within his heart that was causing trouble...
"Ask whatever you want, I won't eat you straight away."
Looking at Sakura Airi's timid look, wanting to say something but hesitating, Aragaki Shun couldn't help it.
Didn’t you call my name just now?
Why don’t you say a word when I turn my gaze towards you?
"I'm so sorry!" The red-haired girl quickly bowed and apologized, then tentatively asked, "Excuse me, where are we going now?"
Aragaki Shun: "..."
I don't even know where I'm going, and you're just following me timidly?
Why does it feel like this guy is easily abducted?
"Didn't I just say that? Since I broke your camera, I have to be responsible for returning it to you in good condition."
"I remember there's an electrical appliance store in the shopping mall. They should be able to handle repairs there."
Just as these words came out of his mouth, Aragaki Shun suddenly stopped. Sakura, who was following him, had no time to stop and bumped into him from behind again.
However, seeing that the girl did not fall, but instead took two steps back very energetically, Aragaki Shun didn't care about such a trivial matter.
What he cared about now was that when he mentioned the electrical appliance store just now, a mysterious intuitive warning flashed through his mind again.
But unlike the previous pure feeling of encountering trouble, this warning gave him a more complicated revelation. It seemed that if he continued with his current journey, he would encounter annoying mosquitoes that would ruin his mood, but after slapping them to death, he might get some unexpected rewards.
So, this is the result of combining two talents?
76. Sakura Airi is so shy that she feels dizzy
In the end, Aragaki Shun chose to move on.
On the one hand, he couldn't break his promise just because there was no warning of danger.
On the other hand, he was also curious about what the so-called unexpected gains would be.
"Judging from your expression, Airi Sakura, you've probably been to the electronics store, right?"
Looking at the red-haired girl whose steps seemed to become heavier and whose whole body exuded hesitation and resistance, Aragaki Shun directly asked this question.
Ever since she knew that the destination of this trip was an electronics store, Sakura Airi's expression became a little strange, as if there was something disgusting inside.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and her already extremely panicked expression became even more forced.
"Ah, uh~ My hobby is taking pictures, so I bought a camera there when school started..."
As if she was facing an interrogation, Sakura Airi spilled all the information she had.
Aragaki Shun was a little depressed about what kind of image he had in the girl's heart, and she was actually afraid of him to this extent.
She felt that if he spoke in a slightly more serious tone and gave a firm instruction, the girl would fight back the tears in her eyes and carry out his orders.
Just like just now, Sakura Airi originally wanted to escape, but after he said "Stop", the girl immediately lost the courage to continue running away.
The same thing happened with the camera in Aragaki Shun's hand. The other party seemed to cherish it very much, but he just stretched out his hand, and the girl handed it to him with reluctance.
He is indeed quite famous in this school, but not to the extent of scaring people to this extent.
So this is definitely the girl’s own problem!
"Okay, I get it!" Aragaki Shun signaled the girl to stop. "So, did you find something nasty there?"
Sakura Airi lowered her head slightly, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "Well... there's a clerk there with a disgusting look in his eyes."
"Is that so?" Aragaki Shun thought for a moment and decided to fight fire with fire. "So who do you think is scarier, me or him?"
"what?"
Sakura Airi's little head was a little confused, and it seemed that she could not react at all for a while.
"I checked your digital camera. Something must be broken inside it. This level of repair requires a professional."
"So even if you don't want to go today, you'll still have to go to the electronics store by yourself in a few days, so why not come with me?"
Sakura Airi raised her head and looked at Aragaki Shun a little confusedly, then after meeting the boy's slightly sharp gaze, she subconsciously looked away.
"Why does Aragaki-san want to..."
"I broke your camera, so I helped you fix it. Why are there so many whys and whys in such a straightforward cause-and-effect relationship?"
"It's none of Aragaki-san's business," Sakura Airi's voice seemed a little dull, "It's just that I don't have a strong sense of existence."
"You seem to be in trouble."
Aragaki Shun sighed, "It depends on how badly the digital camera is damaged. If it's serious, I'll replace it with a new one. If it's not serious, I'll have the store clerk repair it. But don't you think electronics store clerks are disgusting?"
Things had gotten to this point, and as if sensing Aragaki Shun's impatience, Sakura Airi finally stopped objecting.
The two continued to walk forward. The girl's steps still seemed a little heavy, but she looked up at Aragaki Shun from time to time, and finally did not choose to escape halfway.
.........
Koukou Ikusei High School has a hypermarket that is well-known throughout Sakurajima, and the school seems to have a cooperative relationship with them.
Since the customer base is only students and teachers, the store itself does not occupy a large area.
However, they sell a wide range of daily necessities and electronic products that students may use.
As Shun Aragaki brought Sakura into the store, an almost tangible vicious gaze penetrated from a certain direction.
"what......"
Sakura suddenly stopped for some reason.
Her profile looked like she had seen something disgusting and was openly expressing her disgust.
Aragaki Shun frowned and looked in the direction of Sakura's gaze. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man in a shop assistant's uniform staring at Sakura Airi with terrifying eyes.
[Danger Omen] I sensed a strong malicious intent, but no sense of threat. I confirmed that it was a scumbag with a combat power of less than five.
"Eh? Aragaki-san?" Sakura exclaimed subconsciously.
Suddenly, Aragaki Shun stretched out his hand and put his arm around the red-haired girl's waist. Sakura Airi suddenly fell into the boy's arms, her whole face red, and even strange circles appeared in her eyes.
