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

"Hmph, we don't know who will win or lose yet. What if you draw the wrong card, Fanbo... hehe, then I won't be polite."

The two were playing a game of drawing jokers. Since Tianyin found the simple game of drawing jokers boring, she increased the stakes.

That is, the winner can make a small request to the other party, and the other party must agree unconditionally.

Although Tianyin didn't specify what kind of request it was, her expression suggested that it probably wasn't a proper request.

However, even though Ichinose saw through Amane's little scheme, she still agreed. The reason was that Ichinose felt that the condition was fair to both parties. If she won the match, she could also ask Amane to do some things. Moreover, Ichinose felt that she had good luck, so she agreed.

Just as Ichinose had predicted, the Joker was initially in her hand, but Amane took it away during the first round of card drawing.

Seeing Amane's surprised expression, Ichinose deliberately teased her. Then, Ichinose's luck was ridiculously good, and he didn't draw the Joker back until he had only two cards left.

Next, it's Ichinose's turn to draw a card. If Ichinose draws the Joker, Amane will still have a chance to win. Conversely, if Ichinose doesn't draw the Joker, Amane, whose last card is the Joker, will lose the match.

Tenon held her breath and stared intently at the cards in her hand, then held them up in front of Ichinose, letting Ichinose draw them.

Ichinose wasn't really concerned about winning or losing, and just casually tried to draw the card to Amane's left.

To her surprise, she couldn't even get it moving when she tried to pull it out.

Ichinose looked up at Amane. Amane's aggrieved expression and the way she was clutching the card tightly in her hand told Ichinose that this was the correct card.

Ichinose tried harder, but the card still didn't budge.

Seeing that Amane's eyes were starting to well up with tears, Ichinose's heart softened and she reached for another card. If she wasn't mistaken... the other card should be the Joker.

Seeing Ichinose reach for another card, Amane also showed a happy expression. In that instant, Ichinose took advantage of Amane's relaxation and quickly snatched the card that Amane had been tightly clutching.

"Huh?! Honami, you!!!"

Amane exclaimed in surprise, which Ichinose found quite pleasing.

"All's fair in war, Tianyin, you've lost! Let me think what I can ask you to do? My shoulder is a little sore from sleeping last night, would you like to give me a massage?"

Ichinose said to Amane, whose face was full of 'panic', with a hint of smugness.

Amane looked disappointed when she heard that Ichinose had only planned to have her massage her shoulders.

"Tsk tsk, the bet is that you can let others do whatever they want, but Fanbo, you actually just want me to massage your shoulders?"

Ichinose found Amane's displeased expression somewhat amusing, but outwardly she tilted her head in confusion.

"Otherwise what? Tianyin, what else can you do?"

"There are so many things we can do~ like kissing little lips and touching..."

"Stop!! The first one doesn't sound very proper. I'll start with something simpler. Here, I'm all ready."

Ichinose put the cards in her hand aside and waited for Amane to come over and massage her shoulders.

But after waiting for a long time without Amane making a move, Ichinose turned to look and saw that Amane was still playing with her last card.

"Tianyin, you're not trying to renege on your promise, are you?"

Ichinose reached out and tapped Amane's nose, but Amane grabbed the outstretched hand instead.

"How could I possibly cheat? It's just... Fanbo, you haven't won yet."

Amane's words gave Ichinose a bad feeling, but she quickly regained her composure.

She was certain that she had drawn the ordinary card that Tianyin was unwilling to give her, and that the card Tianyin had left in her hand was definitely the Joker.

Ichinose flipped over the card she had drawn, and her pupils contracted sharply when she saw what it said.

This card... it's the Joker!

Tianyin was actually clutching the Joker card!

How could such a thing happen?

Ichinose carefully examined the back of the card and found that it did indeed have creases and scratches from fingernails.

In other words, this card was not switched by Tianyin.

Why did Tianyin hold onto the Joker card and refuse to give it to her? If we think about it normally, it's probably because Tianyin deliberately wanted to lose so she could see how she would be punished, at most some kind of physical punishment.

Even if they lose, it's still considered a win for Tianyin.

Another possibility is that... Amane calculated that she could deceive Ichinose with her expression, and also anticipated that Ichinose would use deception to choose to take the Joker.

If it's the first possibility, Ichinose can be more at ease, since Amane probably doesn't care too much about winning or losing in this kind of game.

But if it's the second one...

Ichinose swallowed hard.

Aside from admiration, she didn't know how to respond to Tianyin's words.

Since the game isn't over yet, Tianyin still has a chance to turn the tide.

If she draws a regular card from Ichinose's hand, she'll most likely be able to win, but if she draws the Joker back...

Ichinose held up three cards in her hand, all of which were of different suits.

If Tianyin wants to leave, she must draw a card that can form a pair with her remaining hand.

Amane and Ichinose played a game where they used a deck of 52 cards (excluding the Jokers) to draw the Joker. Each player received 26 cards, and a specific card was designated as the Joker.

Each player must draw a card before playing a card, and can only play pairs of the same number. If all remaining cards in the hand are single cards, no card can be played, and the turn is skipped.

The Joker is a card that cannot be played, which means that a card with the same number as the Joker cannot be played because it is a single card.

Ichinose is in this situation. She has a pair and a single card in her hand, but one of the cards in the pair is a joker and cannot be played. This means that Ichinose cannot play any of her three cards and has to skip her turn.

If Amane draws Ichinose's single card next, Amane will win. For Ichinose to win, she must take Amane's card and form a pair with her own single card.

It's time to test your luck!

Tianyin glanced at the three cards, and the Joker card, with its obvious wrinkles, was ruled out first.

In other words, she has a 50% chance of drawing the card she wants, but Ichinose deliberately placed the Joker in the middle to confuse the situation.

Without much thought, Tianyin reached out and grabbed a card, which perfectly matched her last card to form a pair.

Tianyin won this game with stakes.

"Hmph~ I knew my luck wouldn't be too bad, Fanbo~ Are you ready to accept your punishment?"

Amane brandished her arms in mid-air in an indecent gesture, and even though Ichinose was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel scared by Amane's aggressive appearance.

"I...I'm ready. Tianyin, what do you plan to have me do?"

"Of course..."

Amane whispered something in Ichinose's ear.

Suddenly, Ichinose's face turned bright red, and she got up to run away, but Amane caught her in a quick grab.

"No! That kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!"

"It's okay~ Come on, come on! You might be a little awkward the first time, but you'll get used to it after a few tries!"

"I...I have no experience in that area. Tianyin, could you change the punishment? I feel this one is a bit...a bit..."

"Then..."

"What? You still want to call me... Can you... Um... Tianyin, can your punishment be a little more normal? Just hearing about it makes my face burn. It's so shameful."

"This one won't work either? I think this is already quite simple."

"..."

Seeing Ichinose's somewhat resistant expression, Amane had no choice but to rack her brains and start thinking.

Is there any punishment that Ichinose could accept while also feeling satisfied with?

Just as Tianyin was deep in thought, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Amane and Ichinose exchanged a glance and both became wary.

Ninomiya took the group of girls early this morning to familiarize themselves with the route to tomorrow's exam, and they haven't returned yet.

If they were coming back, they certainly wouldn't be knocking so politely, so the person outside the door is most likely an 'outsider'.

Having outsiders visit at this particular time is hardly a normal thing.

"Which one?"

Tianyin came to the door and asked through the dormitory door.

"It's me, Sakayanagi Arisu. Are you all being so cautious in broad daylight because you're afraid someone will kidnap you?"

Upon hearing Sakayanagi's voice, Amane quickly opened the door. Before she could even see who was outside, Amane rushed over and hugged Sakayanagi tightly.

"Arisu~ It's been so long since I've seen you, I've missed you so much~"

"You bastard! Get off me right now! Didn't we have breakfast together this morning? You even ate my fried egg."

Sakayanagi tried to push away Amane, who was rubbing her face affectionately against hers, with a look of disgust. She knew that Amane just wanted an excuse to be intimate with her.

However, Amane's excuse was getting worse and worse. Just a few hours ago, they had breakfast together. Sakayanagi didn't have much of an appetite and even left the fried egg for Amane. Now, it turned into "it's been a long time since we've seen each other."

Seriously, is it so hard to come up with a better excuse?

Although Sakayanagi outwardly seemed disgusted by Amane's constant rubbing against her, he didn't put up a strong resistance. It appeared to be just a symbolic act of resistance before he let her continue rubbing against him.

"Judging from how passionately Miyako and Sakayanagi are getting together, should I excuse myself?"

A familiar voice came from behind Sakayanagi, interrupting Amane who was being intimate with Sakayanagi. Amane looked in the direction from which the voice came.

At this moment, Kamuro stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking somewhat sore, as if he was ready to watch a good show.

Amane had intended to remain reserved and end the meeting when she saw Kamimuro there, but as she released Sakayanagi, she felt as if Sakayanagi had quickly scratched her palm.

After exchanging a glance with Sakayanagi, Amane adopted a more friendly attitude and approached Kamuro.

"Kamuro-kun, I think it's been a long time since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

"Wait, what are you trying to do? Let me make this clear first, I'm not as casual as Sakayanagi-san. I advise you not to have any ideas about me. Also... we just met this morning, didn't we? Your memory is as good as a fish's."

Amane simply ignored Kamuro's teasing remarks.

"Huh? It's been quite a while since we met this morning. Shall we get to know each other better?"

Amane made a move to pounce on Kamuro, which terrified Kamuro. She knew what kind of person Amane was, and not wanting to be eaten by Amane, Kamuro didn't even bother to greet Sakayanagi and ran towards the emergency exit.

Amane also made a move to chase after them, so the remaining Sakayanagi could use the excuse of mediating the fight to chase after them as well.

Only Ichinose remained, gazing thoughtfully in the direction the three had departed.

Inside the emergency exit at this time.

Kamuro was pouting and complaining to Sakayanagi.

"Next time, please, Sakayanagi, come up with some better lines for me. What kind of weird stuff is this?! And you, you were just being yourself!!!"

The one with the biggest complaints was Amane.

Because after Amane ran into the emergency exit, she 'accidentally' grabbed Kamuro and then 'accidentally' grabbed a strange part of his body. As a result, she was naturally hit hard by Kamuro, but it didn't seem to cause any major damage.

"I already said it was an accident that I grabbed Kamuro-kun's... cough cough, by the way, Arisu, did you call me here to tell me something important?"

Amane originally intended to explain, but seeing Kamuro's murderous gaze, she awkwardly looked at Sakayanagi.

Amane believed that Sakayanagi had specifically called her here for a talk, and it couldn't possibly be just a simple chat.

"Tongshan is about to take action."

Chapter 132: What? There are more experts?

When Tenon heard the name Tongshan for the first time in a long time, she was actually stunned for a moment.

After a few seconds of thinking, she remembered that it was the student council president. Although she and Ichinose were currently on guard against Kiriyama's attack, Kiriyama was using Ninomiya and others to hinder Ichinose's group.

From beginning to end, Ichinose and Amane were competing with Ninomiya, so hearing Kiriyama's name suddenly felt somewhat unfamiliar.

"Tianyin, what's with that expression? Don't tell me you don't even remember who Tongshan is?"

Sakayanagi reached out and touched Amane's forehead. Only after confirming that Amane did not have a fever did he feel relieved. When Amane had a fever, her intelligence would be greatly reduced, and she would also do some abnormal behaviors.

Fearing that something might happen to Amane at this critical juncture, Sakayanagi became especially concerned about Amane's health.

"How could I forget that bastard! Humph, that guy just talked his way out of my way and wouldn't let me collect points. Not only did he ruin my plans, but he also didn't dare to openly confront me and instead targeted Fanbo. I'll find a chance to teach him a lesson! Only then can I vent my anger!"

As she spoke, Tenon assumed a boxing stance, as if the air in front of her was Kiriyama, who always had a stern face and acted as if someone owed him a lot of money, and then forcefully swung her fists a few times.

Kamuro, who was so bored that he was counting on his fingers, initially thought that Amane was joking. After all, she was the student council president, and special circumstances like the last sports festival were very rare.
