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

Sakayanagi gently placed her hand on Amane's neck and softly asked in Amane's ear.

Da, da me! !!

Chapter 374: Feeling like my body has been hollowed out

As time went by, Class D finally received good news: Hirata was discharged from the hospital. According to him, although his body had recovered to the point where he could do simple exercises, he was unable to participate in sports or high-intensity soccer matches.

So he could only regretfully bid a temporary farewell to the football he loved.

However... having missed this opportunity to participate in the competition, Hirata probably won't have another chance to return to the soccer club.

After the roster for the second semester is finalized, it's likely that this lineup will remain the core for the second year. Hirata will need at least three months of rest with almost no training time. He might be able to return to the soccer club in the first semester of his second year, but by then, a soccer club with experience in major competitions probably won't need an injured player to strengthen the team.

More likely, they'll waste their youth sitting on the bench.

By the second semester of their sophomore year, many students will leave clubs and start working hard to get into a good university.

In most people's eyes, clubs and organizations are just hobbies. To make a living from a hobby, one needs to have good talent and a way to survive before one can make a profit.

These two points seem simple, but in Gaoyu, very few people can actually meet these conditions.

If they cannot graduate with an A grade, then getting into a good university is their best option. Those from disadvantaged families will enter the battlefield of society much earlier after graduation.

Hobbies are just a luxury for most people.

Hirata, without a guarantee of being in Class A, will probably drop out of the club in the second semester of his second year to focus on studying and try to get into a good university as a backup plan.

Thus, his football dream can now be said to have come to an end.

Just as Amane was feeling a little sorry for Hirata, she received an invitation from him.

It is said that everyone is planning to hold a pool party for Class D at the school's outdoor pool to celebrate his return, and they hope that Tianyin can attend.

"Class D is having a pool party... Suzune, are you going?"

Amane noticed that Hirata's message didn't mention Horikita's name, but it subtly suggested that close friends could come along. This was probably to avoid any misunderstandings caused by sending an invitation to Horikita, so Amane was asked to convey the message.

"A pool party? What a boring event. Who organized it? Kushida? Or Karuizawa?"

Based on past impressions, Horikita judged that only these two people could have such influence to hold such a large-scale pool party.

"No, this is a message from Hirata, and it looks like it's from Hirata's organization."

"Hirata-san? Amane, are you sure Hirata-san is the one who organizes some kind of pool party?"

Horikita, still in disbelief, confirmed with Amane again.

Tianyin realized at this moment that pool parties were not uncommon. Recently, due to the continuous rise in temperature, people have been holding parties at outdoor pools every day. Class D only decided to hold one when the pool party craze was almost over, so they were a step too late to follow the trend.

However, given Hirata's personality, it's quite unusual for him to plan such a party.

"I'll ask Hirata about it; I also feel this is a bit strange."

Hirata's primary task upon returning should be to recover from his injuries, which are quite severe. Is it really safe for him to go into the pool right after returning?

With all these illogical factors piled up, the answer is almost obvious: someone wants to use Hirata's reputation to host a pool party, and it's definitely a guy!!!

Otherwise, if the girls wanted to hold a pool party, the news should have spread within their small circle by now. It's impossible that Hirata would come to formally inform them, yet Amane hasn't received any information about it.

The reason this happened is...

There must have been guys who made this request in private, because they were afraid of being gossiped about, so they asked that pushy guy Hirata for help.

Honestly, wouldn't Hirata refuse such a request?

Amane quickly received a reply from Hirata, who said he had promised to keep it a secret and therefore could not disclose the other party's information.

However, Hirata clearly stated that it was "him," which seems to be similar to the previous guess. The person asking Hirata for help is the guy on the boys' side.

"Is that a reply from Hirata-san?"

Horikita seems to be paying extra attention to this pool party. Is he worried that Amane will be lured away by all the cute girls in alluring swimsuits...?

"That guy Hirata actually said he wanted to keep it a secret, but it's only about the guys... so was he just looking for an excuse to feast his eyes after all?"

Yes, Tianyin also wants to see the cute girls in swimsuits.

"So this is just a celebration party held to satisfy desires. It's the kind of thing that boys would do. Tianyin, you wouldn't want to go to a party like this, would you?"

Horikita closed the book and looked at Amane, whose face was full of anticipation.

"Of course not! How could I possibly attend such a tacky party! By the way, Lingyin, I have some things to do tomorrow afternoon..."

"Hmm? Do you need me to come with you?"

Horikita immediately saw through Amane's inner thoughts, that she wanted to find an excuse to go and hang out with the girls in swimsuits.

Lately, even his excuses have become perfunctory. What a despicable guy.

"No, that won't be necessary... It's quite hot outside. Lingyin, you can rest in the air-conditioned room. It's not a big deal anyway."

When Tenon heard that Horikita was also going with her, she was so frightened that she quickly stood up and tried to dissuade her.

"Are you so eager to see girls in swimsuits playing in the pool?"

"Mmm, the swimsuit is amazing......"

Tianyin turned her head back somewhat stiffly.

Horikita gave a gentle smile and then walked towards the kitchen.

"Rin-nee, Rin-nee, calm down!!! Murder is a crime!!!"

Amane quickly took two steps forward and knelt down on the floor with a thud. Then she hugged Horikita tightly around the waist and shouted loudly.

"I was just about to peel an apple, Tianyin, why are you getting so worked up?"

Horikita looked at Amane speechlessly. Was this child really that afraid of being killed by him?

It seems that Tianyin has done a lot of bad things in private.

Horikita gave a soft hum, and Amane chuckled and released her grip.

Then, Horikita took the kitchen knife, rinsed it with water, and then chopped the apple twice. Seeing the apple cut into pieces, Amane swallowed hard.

If she sneaks off to the pool party tomorrow, she probably won't end up like this unlucky apple, cut into pieces, right?

"You keep eating, I'll go change my clothes."

Horikita placed the plate of apples in front of Amane, then turned and went to the wardrobe to start rummaging through her clothes.

Tianyin used a toothpick to pick up a piece of apple and put it in her mouth, chewing it heartily.

But his ears were perked up, listening intently to the sound of clothes falling off behind him.

Should we turn around and take a look?

It felt like a kitten was tickling the tip of Tianyin's heart.

Horikita was wearing relatively loose casual clothes just now. Although Amane didn't know why Horikita would wear casual clothes in her room, the conclusion was... she had too many clothes.

There wasn't a single scene that sparked any imagination.

Horikita is changing clothes now, and the perfect opportunity has arrived. Turning around now might get you beaten up, but it will be a feast for the eyes.

Getting beaten up is only a temporary pain, but feasting your eyes is a lifelong experience. I'll give it my all!

Tianyin turned around quickly, and the next second she was so shocked by the scene in front of her that her eyes widened.

Horikita was standing there wearing a blue and white swimsuit.

"If you want to see me in a swimsuit... I can wear one too. As for my figure... I'm quite confident in myself."

As Horikita spoke, a blush quickly crept onto her originally fair cheeks.

Tianyin's gaze was fixed on that patch of snow-white skin that even the swimsuit couldn't completely cover.

"Tianyin...don't keep staring at me, I...I feel a little embarrassed..."

Horikita felt both shy and happy to see Amane so engrossed.

"I feel like it might be a bit too big? Let me check."

Tianyin grinned mischievously and reached out her hand.

Snapped.

Horikita slapped the claw away.

"It's all your fault, Tianyin! It was the perfect size when you bought it, but now it looks like you're wearing a size too small."

Horikita quickly covered up the parts that couldn't be covered.

It's only been a few months and it's already like this. If Tianyin continues to act recklessly... it might be difficult to buy a suitable swimsuit at school.

"I think this kind of ringtone sounds more feminine."

Tianyin gave it a very high rating, then her fingertips moved carefully over the surface of the swimsuit.

"Femininity? Does that mean I'm not feminine if I don't wear a swimsuit?"

Amane was surprised that Horikita could find the loophole in her words, and she felt a little flustered, but fortunately she had practiced dealing with this kind of situation before.

Therefore, on the surface, Tianyin remained calm and composed.

"I meant 'even more'! Rin usually gives off a more mature and sophisticated vibe, but she becomes even more captivating in a swimsuit."

Before she knew it, Tenon had already pulled Horikita into her arms.

Enjoying the soft body in intimate contact, Amane's eyes darted around, then she suddenly pointed at Horikita's long, white legs with a surprised expression.

"Rin, your leg!!"

What happened to your leg?

When Horikita saw Amane's surprised expression, he quickly looked down and even raised his leg to check what was wrong that had surprised Amane so much.

Just as Horikita lifted her leg, Amane picked her up.

"Yeah!"

Faced with the sudden attack, Horikita instinctively hugged Amane tightly. Then she realized that she seemed to be suspended in mid-air. Hearing Amane's triumphant voice, Horikita quickly opened her eyes.

"Tianyin! Put me down! Why... why are you in such a strange position? Can't you be normal?"

Horikita's voice grew softer and softer.

At this moment, she was clinging to Tenon like an octopus, and she could feel the warmth continuously emanating from her through her swimsuit.

"This should be a pretty normal type, right?"

Tianyin said happily as she rubbed against the soft surface.

"This is completely abnormal!! Put me down, this is too embarrassing... um..."

Unable to speak, Horikita angrily pounded Amane's back lightly, but she soon realized that if she didn't hold on tight, Amane would immediately fall to the floor.

It was obvious that it would hurt a lot, so Horikita had no choice but to use all her strength to lock Amane down.

Yes, it's a lock that uses both hands and feet.

He wrapped his arms around Tianyin's neck and hugged her tightly, using his legs to hang himself around Tianyin's waist.

"Cough cough, I can't take it anymore! Lingyin, have you ever practiced kicking techniques? Your strength is so great, my back is about to break!"

Tianyin felt the force around her waist as if it were being locked by a pair of pliers, and couldn't help but sigh.

She originally thought that among the girls she had met, only girls like Kiryuin and Ibuki, who were skilled in kicking techniques, could make people enjoy this wonderful feeling.

Unexpectedly, Horikita's leg strength seemed to be far superior to Kiryuin's, which was completely illogical.

"Amane, are you an idiot? Aikido and karate also use leg techniques, and you also have regular running training, so that's why... Ugh, how embarrassing, what shameless things am I saying?"

Horikita, feeling shy, buried her head in Amane's arms.

Tianyin looked thoughtful.

"Oh, I see. Does that mean we can do lots of fun things? Hehehe."

"Wait... Tianyin! No, don't do this... Can't you be a little gentler? Table, put me on the table... no—"

……

And so, Tianyin spent a wonderful afternoon, though the price was that she had to rest for a long time to recover from overindulgence.

This made Amane feel a little scared just thinking about it. She was once known as a genetically mutated monster in terms of physical strength, but even so, she almost died after a narrow victory. It seemed that Horikita's fighting power had increased a lot.

No, it should be doubled... Horikita shouldn't have done any strange targeted training, right?
