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

In fact, this school has never lacked people who think they can survive to graduation without socializing, but without exception, the vast majority of people with this idea are abandoned by their classes.

Without the guarantee of strength, being a lone wolf becomes synonymous with being unsociable, and being unsociable becomes synonymous with being useless. Therefore, when a class has to abandon certain people, it will naturally choose those who are both incompetent and aloof, even if they have done nothing wrong.

But this is the consequence of giving up social interaction here.

Everyone is aware of the consequences of giving up social interaction, so let alone petty squabbles like badmouthing, many people will choose to endure even bullying at school.

So that I wouldn't be ostracized by my class and get eliminated one day.

The psychological shift turned Kushida's greatest weapon into a joke. Instead of bringing the class to a standstill, it completely destroyed the gentle persona she had painstakingly cultivated.

The collapse of her public image instantly turned her into an object of betrayal and hatred from everyone.

Meanwhile, those people who were supposed to collapse because of the 'truth' put on smiling masks and pretended not to care about those who knew it was the truth but still blamed it on Kushida, saying that Kushida was spreading rumors.

This situation plunged Kushida into despair and collapse.

She knew she wasn't as outstanding as others, so she put on a gentle facade to gain their trust, ultimately building good interpersonal relationships while also gaining their trust and secrets.

This is the belief that Kushida has held onto in order to soothe his deep-seated anxiety and inferiority complex.

She regarded gaining the trust of others as her only advantage and her most powerful weapon. The chaos she caused in junior high school that brought the class to a standstill made her mistakenly believe that as long as she had trust and the truth, she would have the most powerful weapon in the world.

Kushida gained a false sense of confidence from this, believing that even the most outstanding person is nothing more than that in the face of the truth.

She even developed the idea that she could easily control anyone who was human.

If Kushida were to recall the time when she smugly told Sato she would teach her a lesson, she would probably find herself quite ridiculous back then.

She has now given up everything; for the final victory, she has even sacrificed her body...

The results of it?

Nothing.

No one paid any attention to her, no one was willing to give her a chance to apologize, and similarly, no one scolded or beat her.

It was as if they had forgotten about her.

Nothing is more terrifying than being forgotten. She was right there, but everyone pretended not to see her.

For Kushida, nothing could be more agonizing than this.

She began to wish there were special exams that would allow her to drop out of school. If she dropped out, wouldn't she no longer have to live in this endless torment?

Kushida reached for her phone on the bedside table and pressed a few buttons, but the phone didn't respond. She then realized that she had turned the phone off.

To escape the torment of reality, Kushida only goes out once a week to buy the groceries and daily necessities he needs. After shopping, he turns off his phone and stays alone in his dormitory, quietly waiting for time to pass.

Because her phone was turned off, she naturally couldn't receive any messages, so she couldn't tell who would be looking for her.

It doesn't matter who comes.

She won't see anyone; she doesn't need to care about other people's opinions anymore...

Ding dong ding dong ding dong...

The continuous, piercing noises coming from outside the door were so loud that even covering his ears with a pillow was useless. Unable to bear it any longer, Kushida finally got up, got out of bed, and went to the door.

Then she flung open the door, wanting to see who was so bored as to bother her.

"You're sick..."

Happy birthday, little bellflower!!!

Chapter 155: The Unbearable Recording

"What brings you here? What do you want?"

Upon seeing that the person outside the door was actually Amane, Kushida's already somewhat unpleasant expression darkened even further. If it were someone else, she wouldn't want to interact with them either, but if there was no hatred between them, she wouldn't need to give them a hard time.

But the person who came was Amane. If you had to say who Kushida least wanted to see right now, it would definitely be Amane.

She was the one who was willing to help Amane integrate into the group from the very beginning. As for Horikita and the others, they were ranked later at that time. Originally, she had a pretty good relationship with Amane and would invite Amane along when going out.

Until that despicable woman, Horikita, appeared.

Looking back now, it was that woman's appearance that made her life a mess. After accidentally finding out that Horikita and she came from the same school, she began to try to cover up her past, even though she now calls her behavior in junior high school a weapon.

But how many people want to be ostracized by the whole class? Even if Kushida causes the entire class to fall apart, it won't change anything for him; he'll just become a pariah.

Therefore, in Kushida's view, what happened back then was nothing to boast about or be proud of; if anything, it was probably more like her 'secret'.

Moreover, this secret is an absolute secret that cannot be disclosed to others.

The most direct reason she came here was that this school was far away from her junior high school. She was confident that her story would not be leaked, so no one would be hostile to her anymore, and no one would beat her up.

She will start her new life here, and she has carefully prepared a persona that everyone can accept: a gentle girl who wants to be friends with everyone.

This kind of persona is popular with both girls and boys, so Kushida is confident that she will live very comfortably here.

Until Horikita appeared.

She admitted that it was a mistake to cause trouble for Horikita in an attempt to force her to drop out of school.

Horikita Suzune was the kind of unattainable genius in her mind. As an ordinary person who was only a little smarter than the average person, the distance between her and the genius was unreachable.

The reason she was so confident back then was simply because she overestimated the destructive power of the weapon she had. If she were to go back to the day she talked with Horikita Suzune at the Palette Cafe, Kushida would definitely agree to Horikita's compromise and concession.

In fact, she knew that Horikita probably didn't know much about her affairs. It was just that her fear and smugness at the time led her to make a wrong judgment and kick a steel plate.

It was from that time on that the relationship between Amane and her began to drift apart, and Amane still chose Horikita Suzune when it came to choosing sides.

If provoking Horikita was like kicking a steel plate, then later becoming enemies with Amane was undoubtedly the most foolish decision.

But who would have thought that Tianyin, who seemed a bit dim-witted, would actually be a monster on par with a BOSS?

Kushida had initially guessed from some of Amane's little habits that Amane had received a good education from a different social class, but at that time she mistook Amane for a rich young lady with little social experience and no worldly wisdom. She thought that she could easily manipulate such a girl.

Therefore, when a rift appeared in her relationship with Tianyin, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that Tianyin was just a minor character who didn't matter much.

However, to her surprise, this seemingly insignificant role taught her a lesson.

To avenge Horikita, Amane easily caused Ichihashi, a member of her carefully constructed group who excelled in every aspect, to be expelled from school.

Strictly speaking, this cannot be blamed on Tianyin, since at that time Tianyin's points were not as exaggerated as the tens of millions of individual points accumulated by two grades.

With only one person to save, whether Sakura or Ichihashi stays or goes depends entirely on Amane's decision. Before the final game, Kushida kept hinting at Amane's friendship with Ichihashi, hoping that Amane could help her good friend.

After all, whether in terms of relationships or abilities, that girl named Sakura is no match for Ichihashi. Sakura's only advantage is probably her figure, but what does dropping out of school or helping someone have to do with their figure?

Therefore, Kushida was confident that Amane would choose Ichihashi.

Then... Amane used a little trick to make Ichihashi drop out of school with resentment. It was from that moment that Kushida vowed to make Amane and Horikita, the two people she hated the most, drop out of school.

Compared to Horikita, who was already showing some promise at the time, Amane was far inferior. Kushida, thinking that she couldn't handle Horikita, she couldn't handle Amane either, began to challenge Amane.

As everyone knows, this was no longer a simple case of kicking a steel plate; it resulted in a bloody head injury. Tianyin used her strength to completely shatter her delusions and even ruthlessly used sweet words to deceive her into taking her body.

Why did she have to go through such a painful experience?

Although Kushida didn't quite understand the reason, she could roughly guess that it was because of a combination of her mistakes that this situation occurred.

There's nothing to complain about if you're not as skilled as others, but Kushida just can't get over that hurdle in his mind, which is why the current situation exists.

Even though she couldn't be too cold-hearted towards the first classmate to visit her since her falling out with Sato, she still couldn't help but feel an urge to close the door when she saw that it was Amane.

"If I remember correctly, today should be your birthday, Little Kikyo, right? I'm here to celebrate your birthday. What? Won't you let me in and have a seat?"

"I don't need anyone to celebrate my birthday. Take your things and get out of my sight."

Kushida didn't want to talk to Amane anymore, so he made a move to close the door. But just as the door was about to close, Amane forcefully pulled the door open a little further with one hand.

Then, taking advantage of Kushida's moment of surprise, he slipped into Kushida's room.

"What are you doing? This is my dorm! Now I'm telling you, get out of here!"

Faced with Kushida's somewhat exasperated roar, Amane simply pretended not to hear it, placed the cake in her hand on the table, and began preparing for the meal.

Seeing Amane like this, Kushida was so angry that her eyes were practically spitting fire, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Tianyin came to give her a gift, and she wouldn't even let Tianyin in the door. It would be a bit too much for her to kick Tianyin out.

So when Kushida saw that Amane was planning to enter her room in a way that was almost like a rogue, he was very angry but could only hold back.

After closing the door, Kushida quickly sat down in front of Amane.

"Miyako Tenne, can't you hear me either?"

"Of course I can hear you. Your voice is so loud, how could I not hear you?"

"Then why don't you leave? You're not welcome here!"

Upon hearing this, Tianyin shrugged.

"I didn't say I needed your welcome. Does that mean I can't come to see you if you don't welcome me?"

"you……"

Amane's unreasonable words immediately stifled Kushida's anger, and with nowhere to vent, Kushida began to look a little anxious.

She had many reasons for not wanting to see Tianyin, but the most important one was that she didn't want Tianyin to see her in such a pathetic and shameful state after her defeat and loss of everything.

She didn't want Amane to pity her, and she, Kikyo Kushida, didn't need anyone's pity.

"What you're doing is trespassing. Don't you think I'm afraid I'll tell the dorm supervisor?"

Kushida resorted to an even more shameless tactic: telling the teacher. If Kushida went to the dormitory supervisor, the supervisor would surely make Amane leave the room. Even Amane couldn't possibly stay in someone else's room in front of the dormitory supervisor.

But if calling the dormitory supervisor is such a useful tactic, why is Kushida still arguing with her here?

Calling the dormitory supervisor directly will solve all the problems.

Kushida didn't need to go to such great lengths to persuade Amane, who simply wouldn't listen.

Amane keenly sensed Kushida's true intentions. Kushida was simply trying to gain some verbal advantage. It was precisely because he didn't know how to face her arrival that Kushida seemed so flustered.

"Are you really willing to let me get arrested by the dorm supervisor? Maybe she'll ban me from your room in the future."

Tianyin opened the cake gift box, inside was a two-layer strawberry cake. The appearance was not amazing; it was just an ordinary cake.

Amane skillfully cut a small piece and handed it to Kushida, whose face was gloomy and who seemed to be thinking about something. Then she cut a rather substantial piece from the cake herself. In this way, without a birthday song, birthday wishes, or even a wish, Amane had skipped all the formalities and was already looking forward to enjoying the delicious cake.

Kushida frowned as he looked at the cake in his hand.

Today, Tianyin gave her an unusual feeling. Tianyin should have come to celebrate her birthday, but instead, she was enjoying a hearty meal in front of her all by herself.

Amane didn't even follow any of the steps before cutting the birthday cake, as if Amane had come to see her today just so that Kushida could watch her eat the cake. As soon as this thought came to mind, Kushida completely rejected it.

Because in her mind, Amane was almost a god, and Kushida thought that Amane was not such a boring person. She must have had her own motives for doing the things she did.

Kushida couldn't fathom Amane's intentions at all. He really wanted to ask Amane what she was trying to tell him by coming here alone and eating cake all of a sudden.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bring herself to ask the question.

The reason is very simple: she is the master of this dormitory and has absolute say.

Whether Amane stays or something else, Kushida has countless ways to make her leave if he wants, but she is unwilling to just drive away the first person who came to visit her.

As a result, an eerie atmosphere arose at the scene.

Kushida stared intently at Amane's every move, trying to glean something from it, while Amane kept stuffing cake into her mouth, treating the place as if it were her own dormitory.

Seeing that Amane had eaten nearly half of the cake in just over ten minutes without making any mistakes, Kushida began to feel uneasy.

Her only advantage over Amane now is that she still has some initiative. After all, Amane still comes to her place to eat and drink to her heart's content. Amane's decision to stay or leave depends entirely on Kushida's whim, which gives Kushida more confidence in his words.

However, once she asks Amane about her purpose in doing so, the initiative in the conversation will fall into Amane's hands. What she wants to tell Kushida and what she doesn't want to tell Kushida will truly depend on Amane's whim.

Amane, who had been secretly observing Kushida's emotions and facial expressions, slowly finished the cake in her hand, then looked up at Kushida, who was still staring at her, and couldn't help but laugh.

I thought you would eventually ask me that.

"I knew Tianyin, you didn't have good intentions this time. You're offering to celebrate my birthday? Anyone who didn't know better would think you came from the west today."

Kushida simply didn't believe that Amane's visit was specifically for her birthday. In her opinion, Amane was probably entrusted by someone to deal with her, who had become a pariah in the class.

"I didn't expect you to have become so smart, little kiss. It's a pity I came here just to celebrate your birthday."

"Who celebrates their birthday like this?"

Kushida sneered and pointed to the cake on the table, which had been mostly eaten by Amane. She hadn't even had a chance to make a wish, and the birthday song hadn't even been sung yet when Amane started eating. This was what Kushida thought was Amane's most outrageous behavior.

"I just wanted to see how much you could tolerate, little kissori. Now, if I say 'Happy Birthday' again, little kissori, will you be happy?"

"No, just seeing your face reminds me of bad things, so the best birthday present you could give me is for you to disappear from my sight right now."

Upon hearing this, Tianyin put down her knife and fork and took out a tissue to wipe the cream residue off her face.
