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

"Well... because we couldn't think of anyone else suitable to go in at the time, we just let Chiaki go in to make up the numbers. Even managing the archives was only done later when we realized that her presence seemed a bit redundant, so we just gave her a job randomly to appease her."

Chapter 154: Let's get intimate!

Amane's answer was not unexpected by Horikita. In fact, unless there was a motivation that would motivate Amane to take action, she was usually this lazy.

It would be a bit much to expect Amane in this state to leave any surprises for Sakayanagi.

Horikita ignored Amane, who was still lost in thought, and started preparing dinner. Since Amane was the kind of person who wouldn't be picky about food as long as there was meat, Horikita didn't prepare anything particularly lavish like stir-fries. Although Horikita considered herself to be very good at cooking and had some knowledge of other countries' cuisines, she was still worlds apart from Amane.

Unlike Horikita, whose cooking skills are limited by talent, Amane's limitations lie in the school's kitchen equipment and ingredients, which are not quite up to par. Even with the simplest fried rice, Amane can make it taste quite delicious. She is truly the kind of person whose talent is on point but whose path is simply unfair.

Oh, besides the kitchen utensils and ingredients that don't really motivate Tianyin to cook, Tianyin has another major enemy on her culinary journey: laziness.

"I think I can smell shrimp and bacon..."

Just moments ago, Amane was deep in thought when she suddenly popped her little head out from beside Horikita, blinking as she watched another monjayaki gradually take shape on the frying pan.

That was just a small test of my skills with an all-vegetable monjayaki. Seeing that Amane seemed to enjoy it, I can go straight for a meat-based monjayaki.

Monjayaki and Okonomiyaki have some similarities. Monjayaki involves mixing vegetables and batter together and pouring the mixture onto a griddle for grilling. If you want to add meat, you need to cook the meat first to avoid the situation where the batter and vegetables are cooked while the meat is still raw.

What? How did Horikita know such a trick?

It is not recommended to ask this question.

Arrange the meat and vegetables in a circle, then pour in the prepared batter. After about two minutes, when the batter is partially cooked, start stir-frying quickly. You can also add ingredients to enhance the flavor, such as beef tendon, dried shrimp, tempura, and bonito flakes.

But for Tianyin, it's all about adding meat, adding meat, adding meat!

The final product placed in front of Tianyin looked more like a large hamburger patty with a little bit of vegetables and flour.

However, Amane didn't rush to eat. Instead, she looked at Horikita beside her with bright, expectant eyes.

Horikita knew exactly what this guy was up to without needing to be told.

"Honestly, Tianyin, you're getting lazier and lazier. You don't exercise and you eat so much high-calorie food. Aren't you afraid of getting fat? I won't care if you do."

While Horikita was lecturing Amane, she started cutting the monjayaki into small pieces for Amane. Considering that the monjayaki with more meat would be a bit greasy, Horikita specially prepared some sauce.

After lightly dipping it in the sauce, he held the monji-yaki to Amane's lips.

"I'm starting to eat!"

Amane swallowed the entire piece of monjay in one gulp. Horikita sighed as he watched Amane happily chew the monjay, which made a crunching sound.

It seemed like this guy wasn't listening to her at all.

After a simple dinner, Amane lay on the floor to digest, while Horikita washed the dishes and then went online to browse the school's internal forums.

She should have been reading after meals, but ever since Tianyin taught her how to browse forums, she has developed a strong interest in online forums.

According to her, she was able to gather some useful information from these forums, which was a more effective way to use her time than reading books.

It must be said that Horikita's determination to advance to Class A is indeed very firm, but obstacles will inevitably appear on her path, just like now...

"Ring~ My back is a little itchy~"

"scratch."

"Lingyin, would you like tea or coffee?"

"Tea."

"Should the tea be served with warm or hot water?"

"Hot water."

"Rin-ne~ I saw on the news that kissing can boost immunity! Let's get intimate!"

"roll."

After picking up Tianyin and throwing her back into her little nest next to him, things quieted down a bit. Just as Horikita was about to refocus his attention on the forum and check if there was any information or gossip he needed, his body suddenly stiffened.

"Heavenly Sound!"

"I didn't know you, Rin, were still carrying..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Just turn it off!"

"Oh, okay, which button do I press to turn it off? Is it this one?"

"Um...you, you...um...idiot! um...you just...opened that...um...ah...that button!! Hurry up!"

Horikita was slumped on the computer desk, her expression looking quite... well...

"Which one did I just press to open it?"

Tianyin tilted her head and gently pushed the button with the number on it up one level.

"Tian, ​​Yi, Tianyin!"

"Looks like it's not this one..."

Amane came to Horikita's side and pushed the number up another digit.

Horikita was completely preoccupied with the strange sensations in her body, which were making it hard for her to process what was happening. Just as her mind was about to go blank, the strange feeling suddenly disappeared.

Has Tianyin finally had a change of heart?

"Huh? Why is the power out now? Lingyin, wait for me, I need to charge it... charge it..."

Horikita stood up from the computer desk, walked over to Amane, squatted down, cupped Amane's face in his hands, and then gave her a beautiful smile.

"Is it fun?"

"It's alright... Ah, no! Rin, let me explain, I didn't mean to, I... sob..."

Before Tenon could finish speaking, Horikita forcefully cut her off.

It took Horikita about a minute before he 'let go' of Amane.

"Ring sound~"

"Amane, do you know? I endured it for a long time during the forest training camp. Just thinking about how you were having so much fun with Karuizawa and Ichinose makes me..."

"No way! My heart is completely devoted to you, Lingyin..."

Before Tianyin could finish speaking, her hand was grabbed and placed on something soft.

"How does it feel here, Ichinose-san?"

"It seems to be a size bigger than yours, Rinne. It's definitely an F cup that you can't hold with one hand!! The texture is a bit like pudding, bouncy... bouncy..."

Tianyin's tone quickly dropped from initial excitement.

She noticed that Horikita's gaze had become somewhat dangerous.

"It seems you remember it very well, Tianyin?"

Horikita grabbed Amane's chin, forcing Amane, who was sitting on the floor, to raise her head and look at her as she half-squatted.

"N-nothing..."

"Let me enjoy myself tonight."

Horikita whispered seductive words in Amane's ear, and Amane's gaze sharpened instantly as she looked at Horikita's alluring red lips, which were even without makeup.

Amane grabbed Horikita's wrist with her other hand.

Feeling the irresistible force in Amane's hand, Horikita's expression changed slightly. At this moment, she seemed to realize that she had been a little careless.

Saying such things to someone as easily aroused as Tianyin would likely only backfire.

You'd better think this through!

The pain in her earlobe brought Horikita to her senses, but the situation was no longer under her control; the balance of power had shifted.

Is it too late for me to back out now?

"you guess?"

"It's me! Tianyin! Wait a minute! I'm not ready yet... um~"

... (10,000 words censored here.)

The saying that pleasure can make people lose track of time is absolutely true.

For example, when Tianyin regained her senses and entered a state of detachment afterward, it was already midnight.

Five hours had passed since she had been eagerly preparing for her big day.

"Ring sound~"

"..."

With one hand playing with Horikita's long hair and the other gently patting Horikita's buttocks, Amane softly called Horikita's name.

But compared to the still energetic Amane, Horikita gave Amane a listless, disdainful look.

They say girls are made of water, and Horikita is now severely dehydrated, too lazy to even move.

Seemingly realizing that Horikita wasn't responding to her teasing, Amane had no choice but to give up on her plan to have a deeper conversation with Horikita. Just then, Horikita suddenly spoke up.

"I've made up my mind."

Tenon's ears twitched as she looked curiously at Horikita in her arms, seemingly puzzled as to what decision Horikita had made.

"No frivolous behavior allowed before graduation."

"Da me!"

……

After much persuasion, Amane finally changed Horikita's unhealthy ideas.

However, this also reminded Amane of something very important! Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so shouldn't she give Horikita some surprises?

Surprises are necessary, but creating new ones is quite difficult. Horikita isn't particularly interested in clothes and bags, and right now she doesn't seem to care much about anything other than being promoted to Class A, making it especially challenging to give her a surprise.

"If only Suzune were as easy to coax as Megumi."

At this moment, Amane thought of Karuizawa Megumi. Although Karuizawa usually likes to shop, she is always happy no matter what kind of gift Amane gives her. This gives Amane more choices, such as the limited edition luxury handbag that Karuizawa recently took a liking to.

Who came up with the idea of ​​selling luxury goods on campus? Won't this make the girls who graduate from here more picky?

If Karuizawa is going to give a gift, does that mean Sakayanagi and Ichinose will also give Valentine's Day gifts?

Amane did some mental calculations, and the result left her speechless. If she wanted to please everyone on Valentine's Day, she would have to prepare different gifts for Sakayanagi, Horikita, and others, and the cost alone would be enough to make her wince.

What? Why different gifts?

What if one day the two of them sit down and chat, and she brings up the gift she gave them, only to find out that their gifts are exactly the same...

She's probably doomed; she might even be kicked out. Just thinking about it is miserable.

"Speaking of which... should I give Maple a gift for Valentine's Day? Hmm... the expected expenses are already quite high, so let's try to save money if possible."

And so, Tianyin had a general idea of ​​who needed a Valentine's Day gift.

Next comes the preparation of gifts. With less than a month until Valentine's Day, it's a bit tight to prepare gifts for seven or eight people in terms of time. After all, it's important to show your sincerity while also making them unique, which is quite a headache.

However, before Tianyin could worry about Valentine's Day, there was something even more troubling for her, and that was...

Ding dong.

The crisp, simple doorbell rang, and Kushida, who was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling with his lifeless, gloomy eyes, moved his eyes slightly and turned his head slightly toward the entrance.

The school dormitory wasn't large; it was only a few steps to the entrance to open the door, but Kushida didn't do that.

Since she broke off all pretense of civility, she had given up on the idea of ​​maintaining her previous good reputation at the school. She had considered that she might be disliked by the whole class, but so what?

Having already experienced despair once, Kushida believed that even if everyone hated and ostracized her, it was no big deal.

So she resolutely decided to drag the entire class into a vortex of collapse.

Then she realized that the people in her class were completely different from the people in junior high school. In junior high school, classmates who disliked someone wouldn't show their dislike on their faces too much.

They don't need to think about benefits or losses; as long as you do something out of line for them, they will definitely retaliate.

But the students at this school are different. Although they come here with different dreams, there is only one perfect path: graduating from Class A.

If I can't graduate from Class A, then I'll settle for second best and graduate from this school safely.

So even though Kushida exposed everyone's 'secrets' without permission, and even used a mix of truth and rumors to cause Class B's social relationships to collapse, it was all in vain.

Even if everyone dislikes each other, this is a closed school where everyone sees each other all the time. So how long can the dislike last? Does anyone really want to endure it alone until graduation?

Do not make jokes.
