My love index is at its maximum.

He had a very strong premonition that if he didn't hurry to his older sister's side, Kyoto, this ancient capital with a history of thousands of years, might become his burial place.

Hoshino Hanami, walking in the front row of Class F, looked at Tazaki Tsukasa and smiled faintly.

Her smile was perfect, breathtakingly beautiful. But upon receiving that smile, Tsukasa Tazaki felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow to the chest, the air in his chest felt heavy, and his steps became unsteady.

As soon as he arrived next to Hoshino Hanami, he noticed that his older sister suddenly had a remote control in her hand.

This style looks so familiar.

Could it be...?

The word "catgirl" popped into his mind. Without thinking, Tsukasa Tazaki immediately took off his suit jacket, then put it on backwards in front of his chest, while crossing his arms to create a natural bulge.

then……

Suddenly, I felt two soft things under my arm.

A surge of heat flowed through his tailbone, instantly extending into a cat's tail that dangled down his trouser leg.

The chest and tail will not be exposed for now, but what about the ears?

“Teacher…” Tazaki Tsukasa looked at Hoshino Hanami, his eyes filled with tears.

"Good boy~" Hoshino Hanami suppressed a laugh, took out cat earmuffs and put them on Tazaki Tsukasa, then put her hands on his shoulders and turned him forcefully in front of the F class students, "Classmates, don't you think Tazaki Tsukasa looks cute like this?"

"Wow~"

"Ah, I'm dead!"

"Yay, they're cat ears!"

"Tazaki-san, could you meow a few times?"

"Oh, your face is red."

"Who knew you had such a girlish side?"

"She must be wearing makeup. Look at Tazaki-san's face, she's an absolutely stunningly beautiful girl."

'It's so perverted, but I love it...'

"Today's Tazaki-san is super, super, super cute and adorable Tazaki-san!"

"Tasaki-kun~ I've found the feeling of being in love!" Murakami Mizuiro clutched her chest, her expression one of pure bliss.

"Sister, sister." Hoshino Shikami from Class C next door hopped over, about to stick to her sister and play together, when she suddenly noticed an exceptionally pretty girl with cat ears standing next to her sister.

I rubbed my eyes, and lo and behold, the beautiful girl was actually Tsukasa Tazaki.

"Wow."

"Tazaki, what's that on your head?"

"Come, come, let Lu Jian touch it..."

A little further away, Kuriyama Sakura and Kikawa Yui had their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing so hard they were bent over. Shimamoto Kana was walking towards them, and judging from her eyes, she was also planning to make a move.

Amidst gasps of surprise.

Hoshino Hanami took a picture of her boyfriend... no, her girlfriend, and then held the screen up to her face.

The person in the photo is truly beautiful and charming.

She had soft, cherry-blossom-colored lips, a delicate and refined nose, and fair, radiant skin that seemed almost flawless. Her long eyelashes and large, bright, watery eyes shone with a wild beauty emanating from her cat-like pupils.

On her fair and slender neck...

No Adam's apple!!!

Tsukasa Tazaki crossed her arms over her chest, using her school uniform to cover her C-cup breasts, her mind completely blank.

tired.

May the world be destroyed!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

The aloof and handsome man has already ascended to heaven with his symbol of masculinity.

The body that remained in place was nothing more than a soft, cute, big-breasted catgirl named Tazaki!

I stood there blankly, not knowing what had happened, as if I were trapped in a nightmare.

In my dream, many familiar classmates surrounded me, wanting to take a group photo with me.

That bastard Murakami Mizuiro kept asking me if I could put my hands down and let him hold them so I could experience what love is.

The arts committee member, that yaoi fangirl, wouldn't take a photo with anyone else, but instead had Murakami Mizuiro put her arm around her waist and pose for a picture.

Tang Ze, the burly sports committee member with a philosophical air, kept shaking his head and sighing, saying something like, "How did a perfectly normal man suddenly turn into a sissy overnight?"

The female class monitor, who usually had a cold face, suddenly became unusually close to him, and he wondered if she was a lesbian.

Ugh.

Forget it.

Why bother with all that?

Tsukasa Tazaki has already passed away, so please be quiet and don't disturb his rest.

After each class took a group photo and counted the number of students, they boarded their respective buses and set off for Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

The journey from Kyoto Station to Kiyomizu-dera Temple is very short. If you are willing to spend a little more time, you can even walk there directly. If you take a bus, it only takes about ten minutes.

For those ten minutes, Tsukasa Tazaki leaned back in his chair, dazed and confused, like a walking corpse.

"Click~" Hoshino Hanami took another picture of him, posted it on her Instagram, and added a caption.

These are my students, aren't they cute?

Soon, almost all the teachers in the school knew that Tsukasa Tazaki had gone out with a girlish make-up look and cat ears. Then, Sakura's family of hundreds of rough-looking men also found out.

"Hey, Tazaki." Hoshino Hanami patted her girlfriend's shoulder excitedly. "Dad said he wants to take you as his goddaughter. Your teacher has already given his consent."

"Heh~" Tazaki Tsukasa laughed weakly.

"Tasaki, look over here." Hoshino Shikami also took out her phone, took a picture, and posted it on the school forum with the title 'Third Most Beautiful Girl'.

well.

The scope has been expanded again.

Should we move to a different city?

Tazaki Tsukasa leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the street scene outside the window in despair.

Kyoto's streets are well-landscaped, with trees and flowers everywhere. Occasionally, a red figure will suddenly appear among the grass and trees—the torii gate, a common feature of shrines.

I've heard that in Shintoism, a torii gate represents a gateway connecting two worlds.

If I jump out of the window and run into the torii gate, can I leave the real world and start a different life?

Ugh.

Tsukasa Tazaki sighed and closed his eyes in despair.

As long as I close my eyes and look at the darkness, I can pretend that nothing happened!

In a daze, it seemed like I was having a dream.

In his dream, he was wearing a magnificent theatrical costume and practicing Peking Opera offstage.

"I am a man, after all!"

"Slap!" Hoshino Hanami slapped him across the face. "You misspoke, practice again!"

"I...I was born a man..."

"Snapped!"

He cried, and choked out as he sang: "I am only sixteen, in the prime of my youth, but my teacher forcibly turned me into a kitten. I am a man, not some delicate woman..."

I had just fallen asleep when Hoshino Hanami shook my shoulder and woke me up.

"Tasaki, get up, we've arrived at Kiyomizu-dera Temple."

“Teacher…” Tsukasa Tazaki’s face fell.

"Be good," Hoshino Hana said with a gentle smile, reaching out to lightly pat his forehead. "Let me play for a few days. Once you've had some fun and calmed down, you won't hold it against me anymore. Otherwise..."

As she spoke, she clenched her fist, her fingers cracking loudly.

Tazaki Tsukasa's throat bobbed, letting out a long, drawn-out "Gulp~"

The parking lot in front of Kiyomizu-dera Temple is quite large and is filled with tour buses.

The buses from Kitagawa joined them, and then they had to get off and hike up Sannenzaka, climbing the stone steps to Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

This is the best time to view the autumn leaves, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of Kyoto's most popular tourist attractions, resulting in a bustling scene with crowds of people everywhere you look.

Just like in front of Kyoto Station, each class also gathered to take a group photo in front of the majestic Niomon Gate of Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

This was a mandatory group activity, and Tsukasa Tazaki couldn't avoid it. He could only stand on the edge of the crowd with a cold face, hoping not to be photographed.

After taking several photos, the group photo was successfully completed.

Tazaki Tsuyoshi was about to make a runaway.

"Hey, Tazaki." Murakami Mizuiro squeezed in and called out in a pleading tone, "Pretend to be my girlfriend, so I can go back and explain to my dad."

Tsukasa Tazaki shook his head: "No!"

The moment the words left her lips, what reached her ears was a clear, melodious, and haughty female voice.

"Wow~" Murakami Mizuiro rubbed his hands together excitedly and moved closer to her: "It even has a voice changer, hurry up and let me have some fun first!"

Depend on!

Can I stop playing now?

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Tazaki Tsukasa looked utterly hopeless, as if he had no will to live.

Hoshino Hanami gestured in this direction, seemingly casually, before heading towards the main entrance. Tazaki Tsukasa quickly followed, and the two climbed the stone steps towards the Kiyomizu-dera Temple observation deck.

People were coming and going, making the steps very crowded.
