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

Then Amane adopted a businesslike attitude. Seeing Amane become serious, Kushida reluctantly adjusted his own attitude as well.

She wanted to know who was able to get Tianyin to deal with this troublesome person.

"I think so too, but in any case, we've had a wonderful time, haven't we?"

"That was just a deal! I traded my...body for your promise not to interfere in my competition with Sato, that's all!!!"

Kushida reacted very quickly, and Amane gave a meaningful smile in response to Kushida's denial.

Amane took her phone out of her pocket and opened a dark application interface in front of Kushida.

Kushida glanced at the page for only a second before sensing something was terribly wrong, because it was the interface for playing recordings.

Could it be that Tianyin at that time...

Things were developing in the direction that Kushida had feared most. Amane gently pressed the play button, and her own voice came from the phone, but the content was quite offensive.

First, Kushida's voice repeatedly uttered a word that stirred the blood: "Ah!" After the initial pain, the brave Kushida did not give in. However, she soon experienced the cruel trampling of her two delicate dreams by Amane. But Kushida, accustomed to the pain, stubbornly refused to utter a sound of surrender. Although the pain made her groan, she still withstood Amane's tenacious offensive. Even Amane had to personally tear apart Kushida's last shred of dignity. After Amane's personal intervention, the inexperienced Kushida was naturally routed and beaten to a pulp. But Kushida still did not give up. Taking advantage of Amane's change of tactics, she seized the high ground, rose up, and began to enjoy the pleasure of attacking from above. But just when everyone thought that Kushida had defeated Amane, they heard her occasionally say that she liked Amane the most. In the end, the tenacious warrior succumbed to despair.

Chapter 156: The More We Do It, the More We Love It?

The moment he heard the familiar voice coming from the phone, Kushida's gloomy face turned pale instantly, and then when the embarrassing conversation came from Amane's phone, Kushida's face turned bright red.

Without saying a word, he tried to snatch Amane's phone, but Amane had anticipated Kushida's actions and grabbed the phone aside just as he was about to reach for it.

Seeing that she couldn't get the phone anymore, she started playing her panting and joyful sounds.

Kushida's indomitable spirit collapsed in that instant.

"Aaaaaah, I don't want to hear that stuff! Turn it off!"

"Little Kikyo, don't you think your voice is beautiful?"

"No, stop talking!"

"Let me think, at this point I should be coming from behind..."

"Stop talking! Please stop talking!!!"

Kushida clutched his head and knelt on the ground, his flushed face turning into one of pain.

In reality, it wasn't Tianyin who used violence or any kind of coercive means at the time; otherwise, it would have been quite difficult for a girl to take coercive action against another girl.

At that time, Kushida and the other class team up, which was discovered by Amane and Karuizawa, in order to prevent Amane from interfering in her battle with Sato, Kushida offered to exchange his body for Amane's neutrality.

At that time, Kushida had clearly reached the point of being insane enough to stop at nothing to win.

Some kind-hearted people might have considered redeeming Kushida, but unfortunately, Kushida encountered Amane.

Tianyin will not offer salvation to anyone, because she respects everyone's choices and destiny, but at the same time, Tianyin is also complex.

She can lend a helping hand to a lovely girl who is being ostracized, or she can choose to sit idly by and wait for an adult woman who is on the verge of death and cries out to her for help.

There is no pattern to follow. Tianyin's actions are mostly spontaneous, even though she can do everything perfectly in everyone's eyes if she wants to.

but……

She doesn't need to be perfect to adorn herself.

So when Kushida took off his clothes and threw himself into her arms like a pure white lamb, she devoured this girl who had gone astray just to prove a point.

Even now, Tianyin's reunion with her is nothing more than a desire to reminisce about the good old days, but also carries some ulterior motives.

"I never imagined you would be in so much pain. Weren't you happy back then?"

"Because I lost! I lost everything! Why! Why couldn't I win a victory even if I had to give up my dignity and even my precious chastity? Why didn't those guys fight back when they were slandered? Why could they pretend nothing was wrong and chat and laugh with those who slandered them? Isn't that strange? Yes, this world is too strange, isn't it? Everything I did was meaningless."

Kushida roared and started scratching his hair.

She's gone mad.

At least on the surface, that is certainly the case.

But Amane's intuition told her that Amane Kushida was not crazy.

Because a madman couldn't possibly utter such logical words... No, is it precisely because they're mad that their speech becomes more logical?

So, is she insane or not?

A strange question suddenly appeared in Tianyin's mind.

Who exactly are you?

It seems someone said something like that to her.

However, since it was so long ago, she had forgotten about it. Since she had no recollection of it at all, it probably wasn't anything important.

Do you want to know the answer?

"Answer?"

"Huh? Are you going to tell me why I lost? Actually, I know. I'm just not as good as you guys. I know my weakness better than any of you. But even though I'm weak, I still have the desire to defeat you geniuses. However... it seems the result proves that I was too naive."

As Kushida spoke, she began to unbutton her clothes, and the hem of her skirt fell off her body and onto the floor.

Looking at the naked Kushida, Amane's gaze began to wander around.

What are you trying to do?

"Isn't this what you came to me for? You can do whatever you like. If you want me to cooperate, I can make the same sound as last time, as long as you're not afraid of being heard by others, Tianyin."

Kushida seems to be in a state of complete self-abandonment. In that case, the choice is in Amane's hands. Conscience or desire, which will Amane choose?

Kushida seems to be in some mental distress right now, and it would be taking advantage of her to eat her up like this. Anyone with a conscience wouldn't do that; instead, they would want to actively help Kushida through her difficulties.

However, Kushida is not the kind of person who can easily let go of her obsession. If her mental state really deteriorates, then even if Amane doesn't do anything to her, she will inevitably look for some other substitute.

When that time comes... perhaps dropping out of school will be her salvation.

If she chooses to satisfy her desires, Amane has countless ways to tame her, and she can also unscrupulously explore and research Kushida's body to improve her skills and such.

Tianyin is quite interested in learning about this.

No matter how you look at it, choosing to satisfy your own desires seems to be the best option, but... Tianyin always felt that something was wrong.

"Little Kikyo, where's your phone? I've called you so many times today, but you haven't answered."

Amane suddenly mentioned Kushida's phone. Kushida paused for a moment, then turned around and went to the bedside to show Amane her phone.

"I know you're afraid I'm recording you, but unfortunately I didn't mean that. My phone is dead and turned off. What I just said is the truth."

Upon closer inspection, Kushida's phone was indeed switched off.

Has Kushida really started to give up on herself? Is the spirit of that girl who dared to fight against the whole class alone with the idea of ​​taking everyone down with her really that fragile?

"Little Kikyo, you're overthinking it. I've always trusted you. Since you're all ready, come over here."

Tianyin patted her leg.

Kushida smiled brightly, without any affectation or embarrassment, and simply sat down in Amane's lap.

"Where should we begin? A kiss or..."

"your eyes……"

What's wrong with my eyes?

"Your eyes are full of anticipation."

"That's right, I look forward to doing those things that only lovers do with you, Tianyin."

As Kushida spoke, he moved closer to Amane's cheek and offered her a kiss full of love.

Just then, a smile appeared on Tianyin's face.

"It's so good to see you like this."

"Ok?"

Kushida was somewhat bewildered by Amane's sudden remark.

"Your speech and logic were clear, and your facial expressions were well controlled. You were neither overly arrogant nor discouraged, and you had a clear understanding of your failures. Hmm, that seems pretty good. Do you know what made me happiest? It was your smile just now. It was really beautiful. I'm sure it was a genuine smile from the bottom of your heart."

Amane's words left Kushida even more confused.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Tianyin. Can we get started already? I can't wait any longer~"

As Kushida spoke, he tried to hug Amane, and Amane did not resist at all, letting Kushida hug her tightly.

Feeling the hot body in her arms, Tianyin's eyes sparkled, and her expression gradually became excited.

However, this expression was fleeting, and Tianyin quickly regained the calm she had when she first arrived.

"Let's stop acting here. Now that I've confirmed you're alright, I'm relieved."

Upon hearing Amane's words, Kushida's expression showed a hint of confusion.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about, Tianyin."

"Don't you understand? That's alright, can I see your corsage?"

Amane pointed to the collar flower in Kushida's clothes that she had just taken off; it was a collar flower that the school required girls to wear with their school uniforms.

"Ugh, I don't want to play weird games. Let's start with the most normal one this time, okay?"

Kushida looked as if he mistakenly thought Amane was going to play some strange game with her using a collar flower.

Very real.

But often, the more something seems real, the more deception it contains.

"At first I didn't notice anything unusual, but your school uniform made me realize the problem. You wear your collar insignia properly when you're home alone, and it matches your loungewear. Don't you find that strange, Kushida-kun?"

Amane's nickname changed from Kikyo to Kushida-kun.

This means that Tianyin's attitude has changed.

Kushida had obviously noticed the change in Amane's address as well, and his expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

"This is how I usually dress. Since you're so suspicious, Amane-kun, I'll show it to you. But if you don't find anything, you'll have to apologize to me, okay?"

As Kushida got up from Amane's arms to pick up the corsage that had fallen to the ground, Amane touched Kushida's hair the instant he stood up.

What are you doing!

Almost instinctively, Kushida turned around abruptly, only to find that Amane had already taken the lead and was playing with a small pin that looked like a button, but with a blue light flashing on it.

The safety pin is so tiny that it's practically invisible when clipped to your hair, but it can still fall off during vigorous exercise. The best way to prevent it from falling off is...

It pierced the scalp.

Tianyin couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the bright red color at the end of the pin.

"Do you hate me that much? So much that you'd hurt yourself to get revenge on me?"

"what?"

Seeing that her little scheme had been discovered by Amane, Kushida simply stopped pretending. Originally intending to accept Amane's punishment, she was so angry by Amane's words that she laughed.

"It's ridiculous. You ruined my life and you can still look so innocent... It's really disgusting."

Kushida's sarcasm only elicited confusion from Amane.

"But... I didn't ask you to do that. You were the one who made the suggestion, weren't you? I thought... Kikyo, you did it voluntarily."

"Voluntary? What a 'voluntary' thing! If you didn't have overwhelming power, why would I bother to please you? My conditions were so humble, doesn't that say something? I offered my body just to keep you neutral, Miyako Tenne, don't you really know why? What do you take that kind of thing for? Playing house?"

Kushida's sarcastic remarks didn't bother Amane, because some of what Kushida said was true. For example, if she didn't have absolute violence to back her up, Kushida really wouldn't have needed to flatter her.

But what Amane couldn't understand was why, even after that kind of relationship, Kushida still harbored such strong hostility towards her.

"Isn't that kind of thing a symbol of 'love'?"

Love?

Amane's answer surprised Kushida; she never expected Amane to give such a response.

"What are you talking about? Where do you get the idea that there's 'love' between us?"

Kushida's reaction clearly shows that she and Amane did not develop any love, nor did that incident cause their relationship to advance rapidly.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have planned to record their audio at this time to frame Tianyin.

“Arisu told me that doing this kind of thing can enhance the relationship between two people, and then ‘love’ will be generated.”

Amane's explanation made Kushida's eyes widen. What kind of strange explanation was this? If Amane believed it, wouldn't she be doing this to improve her relationship with other people, and then thinking that she and Amane had developed 'love' because they had already done this...?

No, the love that Tianyin is talking about is not the same thing at all!
