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

"Back to the dorm, goodbye."

"Don't be angry, I was just kidding~"

When Amane saw that Karuizawa was about to leave, she quickly pressed her back down. Karuizawa was going to play a very important role in the subsequent plans, and it would be troublesome if she left now.

"Humph"

As soon as Karuizawa sat down, she turned her head away from Amane. Looking at her slightly puffed-up cheeks, it was obvious that Karuizawa was still angry about what Amane had just said.

"Hui~"

"Humph"

Amane deliberately moved closer to Karuizawa, but Karuizawa hummed softly again and then changed direction.

Tianyin scratched her cheek and followed after them again, somewhat helplessly.

"You two can continue being affectionate, don't worry about me. Anyway, I don't really understand what you're talking about, and I can't help you with anything."

Karuizawa looked at Amane in front of him with some frustration and said.

Only then did Amane realize that what made Karuizawa angry was not their intimate behavior or Amane's joking words, but rather the feeling of being neglected, which made her want to leave in a huff.

But why does Karuizawa act like a child when she's angry? Although Amane felt she wasn't really qualified to say anything about Karuizawa in this regard, since Sakayanagi often said she acted like a child, Amane just couldn't see how she resembled a child! But since it was Sakayanagi's assessment, it must be correct, it's just that Amane herself couldn't see it.

Amane looked at Karuizawa, who probably didn't realize how cute her childish tantrum was.

If Horikita hadn't been there...

The only way to deal with Karuizawa is through some special methods.

Karuizawa Megumi

Amane put on a stern face and looked at Karuizawa as he earnestly mentioned her name.

"I...I'm here, wh...what happened?"

Karuizawa thought that Amane was angry because of her little emotional reaction, and for a moment he was a little scared so he obediently sat down in front of Amane.

I command you to kiss me.

"Huh? Why did I kiss you?"

Karuizawa's eyes widened.

Horikita silently got up and walked towards the kitchen, but Amane's attention was entirely on Karuizawa, so she temporarily ignored Horikita's actions.

"According to our agreement, you need to obey all my orders, and in return, I will provide you with protection, right?"

When Amane reiterated their agreement, Karuizawa nodded in confusion. Amane was absolutely right, but such an order was a little... a little too embarrassing.

"You don't need to know the reason for the order, all you need to do is execute it. I'll repeat the order again: kiss me!"

Amane's forceful tone startled Karuizawa, causing her to shrink back abruptly. It was this action that allowed Amane to grab her wrist.

"Disobedience will be punished, and you can choose how to do it."

This time, Amane gave Karuizawa absolutely no choice.

Almost instinctively, Karuizawa trembled as he moved closer to Amane. Amane could sense Karuizawa's fear and confusion.

But right now she has to awaken Karuizawa's sense of obedience, otherwise... she might completely break down under the following arrangements.

As they drew closer, Amane could already smell the fragrance of lavender. Ever since that intimate encounter, she seemed to have mentioned liking the scent of lavender. She never expected that Karuizawa would become a lavender-scented shower gel ever since. However, the citrus-scented shower gel actually suited Karuizawa better.

They've gotten a little closer.

Amane could already sense Karuizawa's breath, and at the same time, she also smelled another, more attractive, indescribable scent mixed in with the lavender.

Chirp.

Something soft touched my right cheek; the pleasant sensation was fleeting.

"This way"

Amane pointed to her left cheek again, and Karuizawa mechanically leaned over and pointed at it once more.

This pause lasted a little longer, which made Tianyin show a contented expression.

"Next is here."

Tianyin pointed to her lips.

Karuizawa hesitated for a moment, but still chose to slowly approach, getting close enough for Amane to feel the warmth of Karuizawa's face. His shy appearance made Amane slightly lose her composure, but Karuizawa stopped at the last step.

Perhaps they lack experience in this area, or perhaps they are not psychologically prepared, but none of that matters.

because……

Tianyin suddenly moved forward a little.

Karuizawa breathed a sigh of relief, as if resigned to her fate, and went along with Amane.

Suddenly! Karuizawa opened his eyes wide and tried to push Amane away with force.

Amane initially didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just Karuizawa's rebellious behavior stemming from some lingering resentment.

In her view, with a little prompting, Karuizawa could act just like before, solely to fulfill orders.

However, this thought was abruptly abandoned a few seconds later.

Amane slowly released Karuizawa, while at the same time carefully glancing out of the corner of her eye at the object that had given her a chill down her neck.

A gleaming blade was pressed against her pale neck.

"Ring sound..."

"What 'ringing'? Hurry up and continue! Let me see your skills and learn from you."

"Let me explain..."

"Okay, now you can start making excuses."

"I'm actually preparing for my upcoming plans."

"Oh~"

Horikita thoughtfully tapped Amane's neck gently with the back of his knife.

Glug glug glug.

Amane was so frightened that she swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva. Only after seeing that Horikita's expression wasn't so dangerous did she cautiously utter the next sentence.

"So, in order to achieve my goal, I am currently training Hui."

"Discipline? You mean you need to discipline Karuizawa in order to defeat Kushida and Sato, right?"

Horikita smiled and whispered in Amane's ear.

"But... there might be other people..."

"Tianyin...you don't think I'm an idiot, do you?"

Horikita grabbed Amane's ear with such force that he pulled Amane, who was kneeling, up.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! My ear's going to fall off! Let go, Rin! I was just disciplining Megumi!"

Despite enduring the pain, Amane spoke again to Horikita to explain.

"Oh? Looks like you're pretty stubborn. Discipline? It's unbelievable that you could say something so heinous. Instead of targeting others, why don't you start with yourself?"

After saying that, Horikita grabbed Amane's snow (N) and squeezed it hard.

"Hmm...don't do that~ Okay, it feels pretty good, hehe..."

Seeing that Amane was still looking happy, Horikita became so angry that he immediately increased the pressure on her hands, but Amane didn't change much except that she looked a little happier.

Horikita sensed something was wrong and first glanced at Karuizawa, who was touching his lips and staring blankly, seemingly lost in thought.

We should let Karuizawa leave now, otherwise some things will be difficult to handle.

"Karuizawa, you should go back now."

"But Tianyin didn't let me leave..."

Karuizawa said timidly.

Horikita frowned at Karuizawa's expression; the timid look on her face was something Horikita had never seen before.

What exactly happened in between?

Horikita immediately held the knife to Amane's neck, and Amane, who had just been having a bit of fun, instantly became incredibly obedient.

"Even the Heavenly Sound Sect must listen to me. How dare you disobey me?"

"But……"

"Get out!"

Seeing Horikita's angry expression, Karuizawa had no choice but to quickly pack his things and head towards the door. Just as he was putting on his shoes, he hesitated and glanced back at Amane.

Tianyin nodded helplessly.

Karuizawa then bowed slightly to Horikita and Amane before opening the door and disappearing without a trace.

"Honestly, how did I even fall for your tricks back then?"

After seeing Karuizawa leave, Horikita pinched Amane's face and looked her over from left to right, but couldn't find anything unusual about her.

Why did I let her trick me into bed in the first place?

"Hehehe, of course it's because I'm charming!"

"Hmph, you certainly know how to pat yourself on the back."

Horikita casually tossed the kitchen knife to Amane.

"As punishment, you'll be in charge of lunch... You won't put anything weird in your food, will you?"

"Do you mean sleeping pills? Or this?"

"Miyako Amane!!!"

"Just kidding, I'm just kidding... I feel like your temper is getting worse and worse, Rin. I still prefer gentle girls... Of course, I like Rin the most."

Click.

When Tenon saw that Horikita had actually crushed a piece of the ceramic teacup, she was so startled that she quickly added a comment.

"I heard everything. After you finish eating, wash yourself. I have something to tell you."

"Wow! I like Rinne even more now!!!"

bump.

Tianyin casually snapped the knife in two.

Tenon and Horikita looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It broke on its own; I didn't touch it."

Tianyin raised her hands, trying to prove her innocence.

"This knife isn't cheap. I'll see your sincerity later, understand?"

"Yes!"

……

Faced with the sudden drop in temperature, most people chose to stay in their dormitories, so the streets and usually crowded cafes and shopping malls became much quieter.

At that moment, in the Palette Cafe, two men and one woman were leisurely drinking coffee and seemingly discussing something.

"Ichinose, are you really sure? This is our first step to turn things around. If we can get 100 class points, no, even if we only get 50, it will boost the morale of Class D!"

Kanzaki tried to persuade Ichinose Honami, who had already made up his mind.

Ichinose took a sip of coffee and looked at Shibata, who had been keeping a low profile lately and always remained silent when the topic was being discussed.

"What are your thoughts, Shibata-kun?"

Seeing Ichinose's expectant gaze, Shibata, whose name was called out, had no choice but to speak up and offer his thoughts and insights.

"The crux of the matter is, what do we gain by sacrificing 100 class points? Forgive my bluntness, but the conditions offered by Class C are far too abstract... It's just a favor. I really don't know how to evaluate this deal."

Shibata shook his head, seemingly not optimistic about the deal.

From the moment the question was first set, Horikita had already contacted Ichinose. She wanted to follow Ryuen's example and buy the 100 class points from Ichinose. Her asking price was 2 million personal points, plus a favor from a Class C.
