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

Sakayanagi's tone carried a hint of sarcasm. She knew perfectly well that Horikita could guess that Amane was here, but what happened? Horikita didn't even dare to knock on the door.

If she really had the courage, she would steal Amane away from her on White Valentine's Day. If Horikita really did that, Sakayanagi felt that he might give Horikita a very high evaluation.

Unfortunately, Horikita didn't do anything other than make phone calls and send text messages, which means...

After fulfilling her 'duty', Horikita put the matter aside. Perhaps Horikita cared deeply about Amane, or perhaps Horikita slept soundly all night waiting for Amane to return.

But what does this have to do with her? She is Sakayanagi Arisu, isn't it only natural for her to enjoy Amane's love?

At this moment, Sakayanagi, who was proud to have Amane on White Valentine's Day, completely forgot that she had initially complained that Amane had bullied her.

Sakayanagi's fingers swiped quickly across the screen. The names "Megumi" and "Honan" appeared in the contacts, but they had only called once. It was probably because after Horikita contacted them, Karuizawa and Ichinose were worried about Amane and made a call.

Sakayanagi's views on Karuizawa and Ichinose are completely different from Horikita's. There is no doubt that Ichinose is ambitious, and Ichinose probably hid his strength from the beginning and secretly approached Amane.

The purpose of getting close to Amane could not possibly be just for monetary sponsorship; it would be completely not worth it for Ichinose to go to such great lengths for some monetary sponsorship.

To say something that might upset Ichinose, since Ichinose is already planning to offer her body, there are certainly faster shortcuts available. Compared to the highly competitive Amane, Ichinose's path to becoming a man seems faster, and she wouldn't have to resort to intrigue.

However, Ichinose did not, which shows that Ichinose's ambitions are much greater than just some financial assistance. This is also why she wanted to join forces with Horikita to suppress Ichinose even though she didn't need to compete with others.

Unfortunately, Horikita felt that Sakayanagi was using her, and the two ended up parting on bad terms. But Sakayanagi was certain that Horikita would one day regret her decision.

A person whose only advantage is "first-mover advantage" cannot win in a battle of emotions. "First-mover advantage" is a good card, and it can be played in combination with any other card to achieve a decisive victory, such as "gentleness", "beauty", "figure", "wisdom", "wealth", etc.

But going it alone would be suicidal.

Because people are always prone to getting bored with the old and wanting the new, if you become complacent after only having a temporary advantage, you will soon become a thing of the past.

Sakayanagi is extremely wary of Ichinose. Ichinose is like a venomous snake; only when she bares her fangs and attacks will everyone realize her toxicity.

Sakayanagi firmly believes that this day will suddenly arrive sometime in the not-too-distant future.

As for Karuizawa...

To her, it was not a threat at all. In Sakayanagi's opinion, if Horikita and Ichinose were the main course, then Karuizawa was the dessert. It was perfectly acceptable to have some dessert after the meal to cleanse the palate. Anyway, Karuizawa was not a big threat. If Amane liked it, so be it.

In Sakayanagi's view, it didn't matter whose side Karuizawa was on; Karuizawa's threat was that small.

After checking the missed calls, Sakayanagi subconsciously opened the contacts list. Originally, Sakayanagi wanted to see which promiscuous girls had secretly given Amane their contact information, but who knew that as soon as Sakayanagi opened the contacts list, he immediately saw a contact with the name "Darling".

"Darling? That's outrageous! I'm going to see who this 'darling' is today."

Sakayanagi glanced at Amane beside him, hesitated for a moment, then covered Amane's ears before decisively making a call using Amane's phone.

She had just glanced at the phone number and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.

It's important to know that although Sakayanagi can contact quite a few people, the only ones he has contact information for are a few girls. Even Hashimoto and Kito Sakayanagi haven't given them their contact information.

Both of them had to contact Uesaka Yanagi through chat with friends or by finding Kamuro.

The number that seemed familiar to Sakayanagi... Sakayanagi judged that it was most likely the contact information of one of the girls in their Class A.

The most likely candidate is that guy Kamuro. Sakayanagi knows that Amane seems to be very interested in Kamuro.

"Hmph, whoever you are, I'm going to teach you a lesson today. Darling? Not just anyone deserves that title."

As Sakayanagi pressed the dial button, he became focused, but just then his own phone rang with an incoming call.

Sakayanagi picked up her phone somewhat impatiently. She disliked being disturbed at crucial moments, but when she saw that the caller ID also had "Dear" saved as a contact, she seemed to remember something and silently hung up the phone.

then……

"I feel...so embarrassed. Luckily, Tianyin didn't see it, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what will happen?"

"Needless to say? That guy Tianyin will definitely laugh at me mercilessly... Eh?!"

Chapter 207: What? We're going to compete in this?

Sakayanagi's body stiffened. That voice was all too familiar to her. If she heard it at any other time, she would be unable to resist glancing at the guy no matter what she was doing.

But now...

Banliu was caught red-handed while peeking at Tianyin's phone.

How can this be explained? There's simply no way to explain it, is there? Are we supposed to tell Tianyin that her phone made a call on its own?

It seems like it might not be a bad idea... Uh, am I treating Tianyin too much like a child?

The lie, riddled with holes, sounded absurd even to Sakayanagi, let alone trying to fool Amane with such a lie.

If possible, Sakayanagi wishes time could slow down, so she could have more time to think about how to smooth things over.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two was almost negligible, and even the slowest turn would result in them seeing each other.

Looking at Amane, who was peering at him with a curious expression, Sakayanagi didn't know how to explain for a moment.

The two stared at each other, blinking at each other. Perhaps Amane didn't realize Sakayanagi's embarrassment and thought he was just playing a game with her. After blinking for a while, she cupped Sakayanagi's face and gave him a big kiss.

"Good morning, Arisu~ Huh?"

Just after Amane finished taking care of her, she saw Sakayanagi reach out and gently close her eyes, then place her head on the pillow.

"Good night~"

"Hmm, evening... wait a minute! It's clearly daytime now."

Tenon, who was almost asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, only to find that Sakayanagi was lying obediently in her arms at some point.

"Is it already dawn?"

Sakayanagi rubbed his eyes, looking like he had just woken up, which almost made Amane not react.

If she wasn't mistaken, hadn't Sakayanagi woken up earlier?

"Arisu, you just..."

"I just woke up."

"Wait a minute? I remember you seem to be..."

"I just woke up."

"Hmm? I remember you..."

"I just woke up."

"..."

After yesterday's fierce battle, the toughest part of Sakayanagi's body is probably his mouth.

Seeing Sakayanagi's flushed face and stiff neck, looking as if she had just woken up, Amane knew that if she continued to dwell on this issue, Sakayanagi might bite.

Therefore, Tianyin chose to compromise.

"Oh, Arisu, you just woke up too! Let me tell you, I just dreamt that you gave me a good morning kiss."

hiss.

Sakayanagi gasped. How come Amane has learned to extort money now?

From Tenon's meaningful gaze, Sakayanagi knew that his little tricks wouldn't fool her, and Tenon's condition was to exchange a good morning kiss for her not to pursue the matter any further.

Hmph, does Tianyin really think she'd compromise on this kind of deal?

As long as she's stubborn enough and insists she just woke up, even Tianyin can't do anything about it.

Anyone who tries to make a deal with someone when they have the upper hand is a fool!

So, Sakayanagi put on a serious expression.

"make a deal!"

However, at this time, Sakayanagi was unaware that this was only the beginning.

With a blush, Sakayanagi leaned close to Amane's lips, touched them lightly, and then prepared to leave. Just then, Amane gently pushed Sakayanagi's head from behind.

This brought their lips, which had only been separated for a short while, back together.

"Waaaaaah!!!"

It was clear that Sakayanagi was protesting something, but unfortunately, his mouth was tightly gagged and he couldn't utter a single coherent word until Amane finally released him.

The moment they separated, Sakayanagi took a deep breath of fresh air while looking at Amane with a resentful gaze.

"Using French perfume so early in the morning... cough cough, it almost made me gasp for breath, Tianyin, you've gone too far!"

As she spoke, Sakayanagi, seemingly still not satisfied, punched Amane with her small fists, but what happened next only made Sakayanagi even angrier.

Amane even had a comfortable expression on her face when she was being attacked by Sakayanagi's pink fists, and she even rolled over to make it easier for Sakayanagi to attack from all directions.

Sakayanagi snorted coldly in anger and ignored Tenon.

"Why did you stop hitting me? Arisu, your strength was just right, it felt quite comfortable."

As she spoke, Amane stretched her shoulders and arms, as if Sakayanagi's attack was really comfortable.

"Don't talk to me, I don't want to talk to you right now."

"Huh?! Why are you suddenly angry?"

"Hmph, idiots wouldn't understand."

Amane looked helplessly at Sakayanagi, who had suddenly become sullen. In the past, when Sakayanagi was sullen, Amane's best way to reconcile was to drag him into playing some games that made him sweat profusely, and the two would basically make up by the next morning.

But we've only just finished playing it, and if we play it again... Amane glanced at the red and swollen area on Sakayanagi's chest and immediately looked away.

Because the movement was so obvious, Sakayanagi noticed where Amane was looking and quickly covered herself with the blanket.

"There's no point in covering it up now that you've already seen it, so you might as well let me take a few more glances."

Tenon's quiet complaints made Sakayanagi both embarrassed and angry, but she actually listened to Tenon and stopped covering herself, leaving her exposed to the air for Tenon to see as much as she wanted.

"Arisu is definitely the best to me..."

Keep your face away from me.

Sakayanagi pushed away Amane, who was leaning close to her face, with a look of disgust. She was still angry, and Amane wasn't trying to comfort her. And this was more than enough? She wanted to be intimate? No way!

"Waaaaah, Arisu hates me."

Tenon's eyes instantly filled with tears. The speed at which she changed her expression was so fast that Sakayanagi didn't even have time to adjust her own emotions. Just a second ago, Tenon was shamelessly trying to get close to Sakayanagi, how did she turn out like this in the next second?

Upon seeing Amane like this, Sakayanagi couldn't help but soften her heart. She couldn't bear to see Amane cry, even though she knew that Amane was acting this way to deliberately deceive her and make her feel sorry for her.

"Okay, okay, stop it. You're the one who took advantage of me, but it feels like I'm the one bullying you... I just can't do anything with you, sigh."

Sakayanagi sighed deeply, realizing that he was destined to be completely dominated by Amane for the rest of his life.

"Waaaaah, Arisu is definitely the best to me!!!"

"...While I'm very grateful for your praise, Tianyin, what exactly were you praising?!"

Looking at Amane rubbing against his chest, Sakayanagi hesitated for a moment before picking up his cane from the bedside.

Just as she was about to give Tianyin a little surprise, she inadvertently saw the alarm clock next to her.

"Arisu, what's wrong?"

Amane looked at Sakayanagi, who seemed to have been suddenly put on pause, and curiously followed Sakayanagi's gaze to the clock on the table, momentarily confused.

"Tianyin, it's ten o'clock now."

"Yeah, Arisu, do you want breakfast? I can prepare something delicious for you~ Just one... mmm..."

Before Amane could finish speaking, Sakayanagi covered her mouth, indicating that she should let her finish first.

What day of the week is it today?

"The 15th should be a Wednesday, right? What's wrong?"

"Do we have to go to class today?"

"Oh! That's right. I almost forgot if Arisu hadn't reminded me. Huh? Arisu, why are you holding your cane so high?"

"Idiot Tianyin!! We skipped class!!!"

……

"So... that's why you won't answer my calls? Is there anything else you want to say before you die?"

While Horikita was writing something quickly in his notebook, he asked Amane, who was fidgeting in front of him, without looking up.

Upon hearing Horikita ask her to give her last words, Amane immediately used the same finishing move she had used on Sakayanagi.

"Ring sound~~"
