I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

Even if she has a good impression of Ichinose, for example, Sakayanagi sympathizes with Ichinose's situation, it is absolutely impossible for her to act for Ichinose for the benefit of the class.

"That's not the case. The conflict between me and Class B has nothing to do with Ichinose. Besides, it would be more appropriate for Suzune to handle things like the authority of a leader."

Shiina heard another meaning in Amane's words.

Now the leader of Class D has been completely replaced. Amane may follow Horikita's instructions in the future, but Amane will probably not be as active as she was on the uninhabited island.

"Horikita is also very skilled in handling class affairs. I believe that once you get used to it, Amane, you will be able to relax a little more."

"I hope so"

The two sides looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

"What information do you intend to get from me, Tianyin? If you just ask for my opinion on this matter, I might tell you that it would be better not to interfere."

Shiina organized her words and spoke gently.

Hearing this, Tianyin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"So Shiina, you know something... or this matter has something to do with you?"

Tianyin went straight to the point without hesitation. An ordinary person would be thrown off balance by Tianyin's actions and exposed.

But Shiina was very calm, as if he knew that Tianyin would not play according to common sense, or he knew through Tianyin's actions and knew that Tianyin would definitely start with a threatening way.

Although Shiina looked calm and composed, Ibuki felt vaguely uneasy. She picked up her plate and seemed to be about to leave.

"Isn't what you're going to discuss next something I can listen to? I'll just step away for now."

After saying that, he ran away impatiently, while Shiina sighed softly.

"Amane, you scared Ibuki-san."

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect her to be so scared of me. She's so cute..."

Tianyin leaned her elbows on the table, then held her chin and threw a wink at Shiina.

Two conspicuous blushes immediately appeared on Shiina's little face.

“There are so many people watching, please don’t be like this.”

Shiina shrank her head shyly, which made her look even more attractive.

However, Tianyin still didn't forget why she came to find Shiina, so Tianyin put away her casual attitude, and looking at Tianyin who looked a little serious, Shiina subconsciously straightened his back.

"As for your previous question, Tianyin, I can answer that I was not involved in this incident, but I guessed who was the initiator of this incident."

Shiina's words made Tianyin's eyes light up. It was a completely different answer from the feedback given to her by Sakayanagi, Horikita and Shibata. The others were all skeptical, but Shiina said with certainty that she had guessed who it was.

Although there is still an approximate premise, it is obvious that Shiina, who has always been cautious, can say it to this extent.

"So who is the initiator?"

Facing Tianyin's questioning, Shiina shook his head.

"I can't tell you, because she must have her reasons for doing this, and with things like this... it's hard to say if she has any unspeakable secrets. So without knowing if it will hurt her, I can't tell you her specific identity, Tianyin."

Shiina was as gentle as ever, but this time there was more persistence in her eyes. Tianyin didn't dislike girls who had their own ideas and took actions for them.

Although she wanted to help Ichinose, she didn't want to help him at the cost of hurting other people.

If helping one person hurts another, what kind of help is that? Even if this person spread Ichinose's secret and caused Ichinose to suffer mental trauma, the school and the police station would punish her.

But her behavior does not currently violate the regulations.

Because the prerequisite for violating the regulations is that the person must have committed the crime of leaking other people's personal privacy, which is considered a violation of school regulations and laws.

But…the conviction also declared those rumors to be true.

Ichinose will be subjected to even more severe verbal and mental violence.

So is it right or wrong for Ichinose to capture this person?

"she?"

"That's right"

Shiina's answers began to become concise, and although Amane did not intend to bring the person who spread the rumors to justice, she was still curious about who could do such a thing.

Chapter 335: Time, Disease, and Accident

"Can't you give me a hint?"

Tianyin asked anxiously.

Shiina thought about it and decided to give Tianyin a hint. As for whether he could find the person behind the scenes, it depended on Tianyin's ability.

"Okay, then I'll give you a little hint. Before that, I want to ask you a small question. Tianyin, do you think the method used in this incident is perfect?"

Shiina's question made Tianyin fall into thought.

Perfection. This word can be understood in many ways.

Even everyone's idea of ​​perfection is different.

Tianyin considered for a long time before answering Shiina's question.

"This sudden public opinion storm against Ichinose is a perfect masterpiece. The unavailability of the forum hindered the spread of the news, and even the mobile phone text messages did not receive similar messages. How did she manage to let everyone know the news in half a day... no, it should be in about two hours? This itself is incredible, but what makes me even more confused is that if, as you guessed, the instigator is a girl, it makes it even harder for me to understand. In my opinion, Shibata is still the most suspicious."

Tianyin expressed all the doubts that were bothering her.

Shiina nodded as if in approval, but her expression clearly told Amane that her confusion was something that could be easily answered.

"In my opinion, there is no such thing as a perfect crime. Even if a crime seems flawless, there will be flaws as long as someone is involved. Most crimes that are defined as perfect simply have no murderer, and things that are truly close to perfect crimes have never been discovered."

For some reason, Shiina changed the topic to the perfect crime. Tianyin seemed to be thinking about something. She naturally knew that Shiina wanted to tell her that this was not a perfect incident. Tianyin also knew that as long as she was willing to spend time, she would be able to find the spreader, but the problem was that she was now like a headless fly and had lost her train of thought.

"So what is the perfect crime in your opinion, Hiwa?"

Amane continued the topic following Shiina's words.

"The perfect crime is nature. The only things that can do this are time, disease and accidents. Time can cause aging and lead to a 'normal' death. Disease can accelerate the process of death by damaging human organs through 'spreading'. Accidents are like fate. If an accident wants to end a person's life, it only needs to 'blame' it on other things or people. These three are all things that can create perfect crimes."

Shiina's gaze began to become somewhat profound. No, it should be said that this was the serious Shiina Hiyori.

"But no one can control time, disease and accidents..."

“Is it really impossible to control it?”

Shiina's question made Tianyin stunned for a moment.

How can we control time? If we can control time, we can do whatever we want.

and many more.

Time? Control?

Could it be that Shiina meant that if Amane thought this event was perfect, then ending a person's life actually implies achieving the current result.

Shouldn’t Tianyin look back instead of forward?

Suddenly! Tianyin suddenly realized something. The first example Shiina gave was that time can make people age. The aging process of normal people is long after all, but if you want to end a person's life abnormally early... In other words, if you want to achieve the current result in advance, you can use a more drastic method.

That is the disease, no, it should be said that it is the spread.

The spread of disease is hard to prevent, and the lives of those infected will come to an end faster.

But spreading a disease would inevitably leave evidence, and if they wanted the result to be perfect this time, it had to look like an accident.

And the accident is... framing the person?

What Shiina wanted to tell Amane was that the reason why the seemingly perfect answer appeared was because someone deliberately created this incident in order to achieve a certain purpose. In order to achieve the effect as quickly as possible, she chose to spread this matter widely in order to create an extremely bad impact in a short period of time so that she could achieve her goal in the shortest time.

In the end, the best way to eliminate one's own responsibility is to put the blame on others and let those who are most likely to be suspected take the blame.

Considering the current situation, the answer is almost obvious.

But new problems also arise.

Why did she do this? How did she spread so quickly? Did someone else help her?

"It seems that Tianyin, you have also guessed it."

Shiina breathed a sigh of relief. What happened next had nothing to do with her, but Shiina still hoped that Tianyin could postpone the investigation.

Because there must be something unspeakable behind this matter.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not a violent person. Now that I know the answer and my curiosity is satisfied, there's no need to pursue it further. My position is more suitable for watching the fire from the other side of the river."

Amane's words brought a smile to Shiina's face.

"Sometimes you should be more open-minded so that you can live more easily. There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. It's just a matter of different positions and perspectives. Everyone is working hard for themselves. Rough intervention will only get you into trouble."

Tianyin didn't expect Shiina to say such words, and couldn't help but look at Shiina carefully.

"I have a feeling that you might become a more difficult enemy. Do you think I should take some precautions now?"

Tianyin's eyes gradually narrowed.

Those eyes that always made people feel gentle and reassuring now made people feel chilled. Shiina lowered his head.

The eye contact at that moment made her feel a little palpitated. She didn't know why Tianyin's gaze could make people feel fear, but this did not prevent her from understanding Tianyin's meaning.

"I'm just a temporary replacement for Ryuen. When he comes back, Class C probably won't need me to do anything. Then I can go to the library every day to kill time."

"It sounds great, be sure to take me with you then."

"Humph, Tianyin, you only know how to sleep in the library!!! It happened last time and the time before that! It's always the same. The senior in charge of book borrowing has told me that if you don't respect the books and abide by the rules of the borrowing room, she won't allow you to enter the library."

Shiina pretended to be angry and criticized Tianyin, and Tianyin cooperated very well and showed a distressed look.

"It can't be helped, right? You told me to read famous books, but I already... I just fell asleep after reading these books because they are so boring. How about you just bring the books to my dormitory, or let me read in your dormitory? I can also ask Mr. Hiyori if I don't understand something~"

Tianyin rubbed his hands and gave a sympathetic smile.

Shiina immediately stuck out her tongue and made a cute face.

"I won't be fooled by you, Tianyin! I know what you want to do since the first day I met you, and I won't let you succeed."

The fight between the two attracted a lot of attention.

The tense atmosphere disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, in a corner of the cafeteria, Ayanokouji was looking at the scene thoughtfully.

Chapter 336: Strawberry-flavored popcorn

It was already 7:30 pm when Amane and Shiina finished their dinner.

A lot of time was wasted and the food lost a lot of its deliciousness, so Tianyin invited Shiina and others to visit her dormitory after they returned, and Tianyin personally cooked for her as compensation.

Shiina also agreed.

Just before leaving, Tianyin still wanted to ask a final question.

"If it were you, how would you spread a message quickly without being able to use forums or group messages?"

Tianyin was also repeatedly deducing while chatting with Shiina, but the result was that it would be quite difficult to complete this step without the assistance of Nanyun Miya.

Hearing Tianyin's question, Shiina smiled playfully.

"Tianyin, have you forgotten the simplest tool for spreading news?"

“The simplest tool for spreading the word?”

Shiina trotted two steps and lightly touched Tianyin's lips. Tianyin was surprised at Shiina's action at first, but then she immediately realized that Shiina meant to communicate through language.

"How could I not know such a simple thing? But... wanting to make it known to everyone in such a short time... is a bit..."

Tianyin smiled and shook her head. You can't just run to the corridor and shout loudly about this kind of thing, right? Can it really spread so quickly in private?

“Not very realistic, is it?”

Shiina completed the sentence for Tianyin, and Tianyin nodded. It is not impossible to spread information by words, but the risk of everything being exposed is too great, and it takes a considerable amount of time.

"That's right. And the most important thing is that after hearing such outrageous news, someone must go and verify it. It's irrational to continue spreading this unconfirmed news."

Tianyin's words were indeed correct from a rational point of view, but...

"Tianyin, you are wrong. Everyone is very keen on gossip and rumors. As for the truth? Oh, Tianyin, have you heard? The cinema sells strawberry flavored popcorn!"

Shiina suddenly said with a happy look on her face.

Tianyin's eyes lit up when she heard about the strawberry-flavored popcorn.
