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

It seems that there is no way to have a good conversation.

But Horikita finally knew the real reason why Kushida hated her.

In some ways, it is rewarding.

"I'm a little curious, how do you plan to erase everything from the past?"

Horikita probably already knew what Kushida was going to do.

But I still want to hear her real thoughts.

"Don't worry about this, Horikita-san."

"You have other intentions in approaching Tianyin, right?"

Horikita wasn't afraid that Kushida would retaliate against her or do something to her.

But if she approached Tianyin deliberately just to target her, then she wouldn't be able to let it go easily.

If he took advantage of Amane's desire to make more friends and used her to get close to Horikita to find out if she was an insider...

Such means touched her bottom line.

“Huh? Horikita-san, you think too highly of yourself, don’t you? Amane-san and I are indeed friends, but it’s really disgusting to have you as an eyesore. Besides, you know something, so don’t blame me for what I did.”

Kushida spoke in a creepy voice.

Horikita was somewhat surprised by the strong feeling of disgust.

What happened in the first place that made Kushida try so hard to cover up his past?

"What are you going to do? Hurt Tianyin?"

Horikita stood up.

He just slightly closed the distance with Kushida.

Kushida took several steps back in fear.

Until he distanced himself from Horikita.

The expression on his face eased slightly.

"I'm not that stupid to do something that would leave a handle. I heard that your relationship with Tianyin hasn't been going well recently?"

Kushida asked in a teasing tone.

In fact, she already knew it clearly in her heart.

A crack has begun to appear in the friendship between Amane and Horikita.

Although it seems that they are still connected now.

But with just a little force, the fragile thread of friendship between Amane and Horikita could be severed.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Horikita didn't seem to care much.

But I felt a little anxious.

She knew better than anyone that if it dragged on any longer.

I may never hear Tianyin call me Lingyin again like he did today.

"Then I will play a game with Horikita-san. I will take Amane-san away from you completely. Don't you always like to put on a sour face and pretend to be noble? Then I will take away your only friend, so that Horikita-san can slowly experience the lonely campus life."

Kushida's words made Horikita a little shaken.

"I'm afraid you're overthinking this, Kushida. Amane is not someone who would abandon his friends."

“Just because Amane-san can’t do it doesn’t mean you can’t do it. I guess the reason your relationship has become like this is probably because of you, Horikita Suzune, right? Since you destroyed your relationship yourself, don’t blame me… hehe.”

Kushida's words made Horikita feel an unprecedented sense of pressure.

She didn't even know who had a bigger role in Tianyin's heart, herself or Kushida.

"Whatever you want to do is up to you. I don't mind telling Tianyin about some rumors I heard about certain people."

Horikita was forced into a desperate situation and had to resort to a rather shameless trick.

Treat things that are just rumors as your trump card.

Tell Tianyin about Kushida's shameful past.

It’s the same as telling the teacher.

Amane might keep his distance from Kushida.

But for Horikita, this doesn't necessarily mean that his attitude towards her will improve.

It might even backfire and cause him to distance himself from Horikita.

Avoid revealing some secrets.

"You are really something, Horikita Suzune, aren't you the same kind of person? Since you have declared war, why don't we see who is faster? Let's see who will destroy the friendship between Amane and me first, or I will pull Amane away from you first."

Kushida challenged Horikita Suzune.

Tianyin, who had been squatting at the door for a long time, had no idea that he had been pressed on the gambling table.

Chapter 37: Stay with me tonight

"I accept your challenge"

Horikita Suzune confidently chose to accept the challenge.

But she is not as confident as she appears.

The first was that she had no idea what happened to Kushida when he was in junior high school.

Once the fabricated story is exposed.

Not only that she had no way to gain a foothold in the class.

Even Tianyin will completely break with her.

In other words, not accepting the challenge is the best option.

But we can't lose momentum right now.

That's why Horikita chose to accept the challenge.

It can be said that this is an example of someone who would suffer in exchange for saving face.

If her relationship with Tianyin was still good, it wouldn't matter how she accepted the challenge.

She didn't believe that Tianyin would be abducted by someone like Kushida one day.

But now Amane seems to be closer to Kushida.

It is inevitable that he will be influenced by Kushida.

So this challenge is a dead end no matter how you look at it.

"I admire your courage, let's wait and see."

Kushida went to the bathroom first and changed into dry clothes.

Then, she picked up her toiletries, patted her cheeks a little, and put on that gentle face in front of Horikita.

Horikita felt a little nauseous watching this.

Horikita could tell from the way Kushida switched expressions so smoothly.

That hypocritical face must have deceived many people.

Kushida opened the door.

Then I saw Tianyin squatting on the ground.

He poked the ground with a small branch he found from somewhere.

It looks like teasing ants.

But this is the twelfth floor.

The floor is cleaned every day.

There is no way there could be ants.

"Have you guys finished talking about things, Kikyo?"

I saw Kushida opening the door and coming out.

Tianyin threw the twig and happily moved forward.

She was so bored being outside alone.

Her cell phone was still on the table.

Nothing can be done.

"Well, Horikita and I had a friendly exchange and in-depth discussion. The effect of this exchange was very good. Maybe I can become good friends with Horikita in the future."

Hearing what Kushida said, Amane also smiled happily.

"That's good. I thought you were going to fight in there."

"Pfft, Tianyin, you have such a rich imagination. It's a pity that I don't know how to fight. I'm really sorry for bothering you today. I'll treat you to milk tea next time."

Kushida leaned forward slightly and smiled adorably.

“It’s a deal”

"Well, I'll go back first then."

"Goodbye, little Platycodon~"

After seeing off Kushida.

As soon as Amane entered the room, she saw Horikita with a gloomy face.

Is this a friendly exchange?

No matter how you look at it, it looks like the two people were having a fierce argument.

But I didn't hear any sound outside the door.

Maybe it was because Kushida said something harsh?

"Horikita-san, are you okay?"

"Can you call me Lingyin?"

Horikita finally overcame her urge to escape.

She was scared.

She was afraid that the real Kushida would take Amane away from her.

In this way, I will completely lose my only friend.

"Hey, I thought you didn't like me calling you like that, Suzune."

Before Amane could finish her words, Horikita hugged her.

"Lingyin, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."

It was the first time she saw Horikita taking the initiative like this.

It seems like she's still a little uncomfortable.

Tianyin let Horikita hold her like this for several minutes before she was reluctant to let go.

"I'm sorry. Actually, I should have apologized to you a long time ago. My original intention was to help you get rid of those bad public opinions, but because I didn't communicate with you in advance, I took the initiative to turn our relationship into what it is now."

Horikita lowered his head.

"I'm very sorry. I want to take back the words I said that hurt Tianyin."

Seeing Horikita apologize so formally.

Tianyin couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

"Once words are spoken, they are like water spilled. There is no reason to take them back."
