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

"Looks like I need to get back to training, otherwise a truly miserable fate awaits me... like a bunch of cute girls first exhausting me, then tying me up and then... cough cough, I'm really looking forward to it... how terrifying."

Tianyin's eyes sparkled.

Yes, Tianyin has entered fantasy time.

It's worth mentioning that Tianyin still sneaked out to attend the pool party the next day.

It turns out this pool party was a complete scam!

The reason is simple: very few girls in Class D wear swimsuits, so even though everyone came to support Hirata, they just sat on the sidelines chatting in revealing clothes.

The pool was filled with boys and a very few bold and outgoing girls, such as Kushida, Kushida, Kushida, and the like.

It's worth noting that even in swimming lessons, two-thirds of the girls skip class or swimming practice for various reasons. They probably feel uncomfortable with their skin exposed to others or feel disgusted by boys staring at their bodies...

Amane could understand their feelings, but if no one was wearing swimsuits, what was the point of Amane peeping?

Of course, Tianyin wasn't the only one who was deceived. After the party, Tianyin saw groups of boys leaving the swimming pool with their heads down in disappointment.

These guys with unhealthy minds must be here for the swimsuits! They're completely different from me, who genuinely cares about girls' health.

But... why does it look like Ayanokouji is in the crowd?

Chapter 375: I hate being forgotten the most.

The wonderful summer vacation always seems too short.

The arrival of September 1st signifies...

Today is my birthday!

"Huh? Today is Tianyin's birthday? Happy birthday, Tianyin... I'm sorry, it's so sudden, I didn't have time to prepare a gift."

"It's okay, the thought is what counts. If you're free this weekend, would you like to go to the movies with me?"

"I'm always free on weekends, so just remember to come find me then."

OK~

After seeing Shiina off, Amane took out her notebook and wrote Shiina's name in the blank space for a weekend afternoon on her full schedule. She then closed the notebook with satisfaction.

"This way, my schedule is completely full during the first week of school. It's definitely faster this way."

At first, Amane was a little reserved, waiting for others to invite her out to play. However, after her relationship with Horikita progressed further, Amane could clearly sense that people seemed to invite her less often.

Perhaps out of consideration for Horikita's feelings, he didn't dare to approach her and invite her out.

However, this would gradually alienate her from everyone, so in order to solidify those relationships, Tenon created a schedule.

Every afternoon I go shopping with different groups or individuals of girls... I mean, to get closer to them.

This directly led to a sudden increase in the amount of time spent after school, making what was originally a leisurely time.

Back to the topic.

Besides being an important day for Tianyin, today is also the first day of school.

On the first day of school, everyone gathered back in the classroom... just kidding!

The notice board in the corridor was already crowded with onlookers, and even the teachers on the side did not intend to stop them.

They all knew what today meant for the students who had struggled through two special exams.

Strangely, although the scene was packed with people, it was unusually quiet, so quiet that it was frightening.

Tianyin chose the spot with the most girls, and after squeezing for a long time, she finally made it to the very back. Then she looked up at the school's bulletin board.

The September class scores for first grade are as follows:

Grade 1 Class A (Majima Class): 1345

Grade 1, Class B (Chazhu Class): 756

First Year Class C (Saka Class): 749

Grade 1 Class D (Hoshinomiya Class): 0

When Tianyin saw the numbers above, she finally understood why everyone was so quiet. Apart from Class A's outstanding performance, Class B and Class D had undergone an unprecedented major swap.

Even the school added the class teacher's name to the notes to avoid students misreading the class points.

The original Class D made a dramatic comeback and became a top class, while the original Class B, which had almost the second perfect start, quickly fell to the bottom of Class D after experiencing infighting and backstabbing.

Ironically, their class points also dropped to zero, the same zero that Class D had been ridiculed for.

It's ironic that now the flawed ones are Ichinose and her friends.

However... Class C's points are also increasing rapidly, and they're currently closing the gap too much.

If we're unlucky, we might have to give up our spot in Class B next month.

However, the scores of the two classes are roughly the same. In terms of academic ability, Class D has far more outstanding students than Class C. It shouldn't be too much of a problem for Class B to maintain its ranking for the time being.

"Tianyin, what do you think of this change in class points?"

Sakayanagi arrived at Amane's side under the protection of Kamuro and others.

"We're very close to Class A now."

Tenon's blunt words made Kamuro frown.

"Hey! Even though you're now in Class B, you're only a few points behind Class C. Our Class A is a full 500 points ahead!"

Faced with Kamuro's boasting, Amane merely curled the corners of her lips slightly.

"But we were a despairing 1000 points behind Class A before!"

"This……"

Kamuro then remembered that Class D was arguably the worst class ever, without exception. He had never had any hope for Class D back then, but what no one expected was that they had actually come to this point.

They seem to be quite far from Class A, but they're only one step away.

If someone had told Kamuro six months ago that Class D, starting with zero points, would climb to Class B, Kamuro would have thought that person was crazy.

But reality is now laid out before her, and she has no choice but to accept it.

"If I unite Class A, can you, Amane, fight me with all your might?"

Sakayanagi suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Tianyin thought for a moment and then shook her head.

I will not fight with my full strength.

"Am I not worth your all-out fight?"

Sakayanagi's stubborn gaze met Amane's.

That look is so familiar... If I remember correctly, the first time I saw Sakayanagi like this was when we were playing chess. Amane won two games in a row. We had agreed on a best-of-three series, but Sakayanagi cheated and played a third game, which ended in a dismal defeat for her.

After wiping away her tears, Sakayanagi challenged Amane again. Amane found it boring and refused, after which Sakayanagi made this expression.

Tianyin couldn't help but soften her heart, and then...

Then I got bitten!

She really got bitten. Sakayanagi couldn't stand losing, so he grabbed Amane's wrist and bit her, then sat there crying, making Amane have to endure the pain to comfort her.

This incident left a very painful shadow on Amane, causing her to be reminded of what happened back then whenever she saw a look like that from Sakayanagi.

"Hey, there are so many people here. If you bite me, it'll make the news! Uncle Sakayanagi will be scared too!"

Tenon whispered quickly in Sakayanagi's ear.

"Why would I bite you? Do you think I'm like Kamuro-kun? That's incredibly rude of me."

"I feel like you're saying some very impolite things."

Kamuro pouted. She wasn't a dog, so why would she bite?

No, why did the two of them start discussing biting?

hiss---!

"You can't cry either, people will think I'm bullying you."

Tenon's words left Sakayanagi bewildered. First, she mentioned biting people, and then she cried. She almost thought Tenon had mistaken her for someone else.

"Tianyin, what are you talking about? If you keep playing guessing games, you won't get your gift."

Sakayanagi used her carefully prepared gift to threaten Amane.

Amane pouted. If this matter had to be explained clearly, would Sakayanagi faint on the spot from exhaustion?

"Then let me help you recall a little, cough cough— 'You, you bad guy, why do you always win! I don't want to lose to someone as expressionless as you, let's play another round... Please, just one more round with me, I'm sure I can win... I'm sure I can win... What if I lose? If I lose, I'll do anything... One more round, please; Why... why did I get defeated so easily? It's only just begun... Waaaaah, I'm not playing with you anymore! I hate Tianyin the most! Awooo!'"

Tenon, in a high-pitched voice, vividly recreated the scene in Sakayanagi's ear.

Sakayanagi's face turned red at a visible speed, redder than a ripe apple, and Amane even suspected that Sakayanagi's face could drip blood.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Why do I have to remember this?!"

Sakayanagi's sudden scream immediately drew everyone's attention.

Amane grabbed Sakayanagi and struggled to squeeze through the crowd. She then had Hashimoto and Kito block everyone's view while Amane, still carrying Sakayanagi, rushed to the balcony and then... bang!

They shut the shrine door to the outside.

Looking at the cold door, Kamuro paused for a moment, then pounded on it forcefully.

Boom boom boom! ! !

"You two have gone too far!!!"

Faced with the deafeningly loud banging on the door, neither Amane nor Sakayanagi had any intention of opening it.

Amane planned to wait until Sakayanagi's emotions stabilized.

Sakayanagi, however, was still immersed in his memories.

The two of them remained silent, and the atmosphere gradually became subtle.

"I...I didn't mean it back then...I would never do something so embarrassing again! I've grown a lot, and I don't cry over failure anymore...I—"

Chirp.

"The taste of milk? Arisu, you still like this, huh? But no matter how much milk you drink, it's still not as big as mine. Hehehe, I guess I've already paid back, so we're even now."

Tianyin puffed out her chest, her smug expression making everyone's teeth itch with anger.

Sakayanagi kept her head down and remained silent, and Amane couldn't see her expression.

"Tianyin, come here for a moment."

Amane moved closer to Sakayanagi.

"Arisu, do you want to whisper something? If you want to praise me, I suggest you speak louder... Ouch!!!"

The last note wasn't some strange ending sound; it was Amane being bitten on the wrist by Sakayanagi.

"You just said you wouldn't bite..."

Tianyin looked at the teeth marks on her wrist with a pitiful expression.

"I don't like the idea of ​​being evenly matched..."

Sakayanagi gave Amane a deep look, then turned and slowly left the rooftop.

Amane tilted her head, not understanding what Sakayanagi meant.

Sakayanagi Arisu didn't expect Amane to understand.

She never thought she was afraid of anything, until Tianyin said those words just now.

Sakayanagi felt afraid.

In Amane's view, this might just be a prank by Sakayanagi, who deliberately bit her as revenge.

In Sakayanagi's heart, all of her past with Amane is an unbreakable bond between them.

Even if it was just a small thing like being bitten a few times, Sakayanagi didn't want Amane to erase it all.

What she is doing now is keeping the promise she made to Tianyin.

Ah... that idiot, he probably forgot about that promise himself, didn't he?

Sakayanagi looked out the window.
