Seeing Amane's expression, Sakura shrank her head back a little, somewhat scared.
"No need for photos... Miyako-san, can you give me back my camera?"
Sakura wanted to get her camera back.
But Amane seemed not to have heard, continuing to look down and flip through the photos stored in the camera.
She really wanted to just snatch the camera back.
But unfortunately, Sakura didn't have that courage.
She hesitated. In the current situation, if she didn't listen to Amane, it would probably be very difficult to get the camera back, and even the content on it might be leaked.
The only way was to agree to Amane.
But... there were also some rumors about Amane circulating in class.
Hmm.
The rumors about Amane were the kind of strange rumors that said girls should carry a stick when going out to prevent bad things from happening to them.
Sakura hadn't taken them seriously before.
But she never expected that one day, something like this would happen to her.
"Then only one photo, okay?"
Seeing Sakura agree to her request, Amane seemed to awaken from a dream.
"Eh? Really? My request won't make Sakura-san feel awkward, will it?"
Amane reached into her pocket with one hand.
"N-no, it won't. I voluntarily agreed to Miyako-san's request, but Miyako-san must keep it a secret and return my camera."
Seeing Sakura being so cooperative,
Amane smiled.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm very trustworthy."
Amane finished speaking and came over to Sakura's side.
Then, in the latter's astonished gaze, she took off her school uniform.
"Miyako-san, what are you doing!!"
Sakura quickly hid in a corner, looking at Amane somewhat angrily.
She clearly said no touching... Oh no!!
Sakura suddenly realized something.
The agreement she made with Amane didn't say that the other party couldn't lay a hand on her.
Could it be that Miyako-san was going to... "I think a different outfit would be better."
Originally, she thought Amane was going to do something indescribable to her.
But now it seemed the other party intended to change her outfit?
This, could it be that she misunderstood...
There's no way it could be a misunderstanding, okay!
Sakura is currently only wearing an outer jacket and a swimsuit.
How is she supposed to change her outfit?
She can't possibly wear the jacket on the inside, can she?
Amane approached Sakura, who was squat in the corner, and draped her school uniform over Sakura's shoulders like a shawl.
"Try to cross your arms."
Amane looked at Sakura with encouraging eyes.
Sakura and Amane looked at each other for a moment, then Sakura slowly stood up and shyly crossed her arms.
I have to say, Sakura is truly exaggerated.
This would probably leave Kikyo far behind, wouldn't it?
Did she grow up eating papayas?
Seeing Sakura in a swimsuit, with her arms crossed, fully displaying her beautiful figure for the camera.
Amane pressed the shutter button without hesitation.
Click.
Even though she was mentally prepared.
Sakura hadn't experienced someone taking her picture in a long time.
The moment she heard the shutter click.
She subconsciously turned her head away.
When she realized she shouldn't avoid it, she quickly turned her head back.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"It's perfect."
"Huh?"
Seeing Amane looking a bit captivated.
Sakura also walked over curiously.
When she saw the photo in the album, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
In the sunset, a swimsuit-clad girl draped in a wine-red school uniform looked into the distance with a slight blush.
The most striking parts of her figure and her long red hair were dyed golden by the afterglow of the sunset.
It looked exceptionally atmospheric.
It had less of a delicate feel and more of a dashing one.
Even Sakura felt it was incredible.
From the photo, the photographer's technique was very steady.
It could completely compare to her previous photographers.
She knew that her turning her head was a completely subconscious action.
But Amane's candid shot was not affected at all.
She had only accidentally turned her head after hearing the door close.
She didn't expect Amane's speed to be even faster than hers.
And she had already changed to an angle that perfectly utilized the outdoor scenery.
Since she started taking photos by herself.
Sakura also began to learn some photography knowledge.
It was then that she realized how much effort it took to produce a good-looking photo; it took her two hours to edit a photo she thought was good.
Amane, however, did it in one go.
She didn't expect Amane-san to be so amazing.
Amane, completely unaware that Sakura was praising her in her mind.
At this moment, she was deep in thought.
Is there something wrong with these glasses?
Normally, seeing Sakura wear those unfashionable glasses.
She didn't really attract much attention.
But once she took off her glasses.
It was like her beauty was unleashed.
Even some idols couldn't compare to Sakura-san's beauty, could they?
And she was surprisingly photogenic.
Although if she were to make a movie, she might not be seen in proper places.
But Sakura-san's beauty as a leading actress or something didn't seem to be a problem at all.
So why did she wear those unfashionable glasses?
Could it be... that it was her self-protection?
"Miyako-san."
Sakura saw Amane spacing out, so she called her name softly.
Hearing Sakura's voice, Amane was pulled back to reality.
"Sorry, sorry, Sakura-san is too cute, I got lost in looking at her."
The 'bad' Amane could now say things like this almost as soon as she opened her mouth.
The innocent Sakura immediately blushed.
"No, no... I think I'm very ordinary, but I think Miyako-san is very cute."
Sakura wasn't lying.
Amane, who moved between various small groups every day and occasionally showed her lively side in front of Horikita, indeed gave off the impression of a cute, energetic girl.
"Actually, I also think I'm quite cute."
Amane puffed out her chest a little proudly.
If her thick skin continued like this, she probably wouldn't find an opponent in the entire school.
However, Sakura thought she was joking and let out a small laugh, covering her mouth.
Then she remembered something.
"Miyako-san, about the camera we talked about..."
The main reason she took this photo.
Was still to get her camera back.
"Of course, no problem, but I want to keep a copy of this photo."
Amane pointed to the one she had just taken.
"Miyako-san, why do you want that one?"
Although that one was very good-looking.
But in terms of boldness, she had many more daring photos in her camera.
If Amane had any intentions, she shouldn't have chosen this one.
It seemed Amane sensed Sakura's confusion.
"After all, I took this one myself, so of course I want to keep it. This way, every time I open this photo, I'll remember my encounter with a beautiful girl, Sakura Airi, under the sunset."
The reason she only knew her name was Sakura Airi now was definitely not because she had just seen a photo that showed a corner of Sakura's school bag.
The tag card on the back of the school bag had Sakura Airi written on it.
This saved Amane, who only remembered her name was Sakura.
She hadn't been feeling well recently, and her memory had also deteriorated significantly.
What was it Suzune asked her to do today?
