Horikita Manabu unfolded the paper, revealing a stamp mark and a signature at the bottom, which didn't seem like a mix-up.

"Then why is there no content? And who is Kuninori Miyako?"

Compared to Akane Tachibana, who doesn't usually pay much attention to the news, Manabu Horikita couldn't help but gasp.

"Such a gift is far too precious. If this signature is real... I think... you can totally treat it as a wish-granting machine."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to joke around like that. Since it can grant any wish, I'd better keep it safe."

Can it grant any wish? Does that mean marrying someone you know is also possible?

Wow, no wonder it's a 'blessing letter'!!

Thank you for your blessing, Tianyin.

(Tianyin: Well, the old man probably won't help fulfill this wish.)

Seeing that Akane Tachibana didn't seem to understand what he meant, Horikita Manabu didn't emphasize the value of the paper.

Perhaps it's best if we never need it in the future.

Volume 6, Grade 2

Chapter 1: Out of Favor? I Miss Her a Little

On April 1st, although students were still enjoying their remaining spring break, the school promptly announced the results of the month's point changes for each class.

Grade 2, Class A (Tianyin Class): 1041 points.

Grade 2, Class B (Sakayanagi Class): 990 points.

Grade 2 Class C (Longyuan Class): 706 points.

Grade 2, Class D (Kanzaki Class): 150 points.

After a year of hard work, Tianyin successfully led the class from a zero-point D-class hell mode to an A-class in just one year.

Although the gap between them and Class B is not particularly large now, it is still a very exciting thing for the current Class A members.

Of course, all classes lost a lot of classmates along the way. To be conservative, the first-year students lost about 12 classmates by the time they reached the 20th year.

Tianyin couldn't determine whether this number was higher or lower than in previous years, but there was no doubt that those who left were people she would never see again.

Right now, all they need to do is maintain their leading grades so they can enjoy the school's promises regarding further education and employment when they graduate from their third year. In order for everyone to graduate with the best possible outcome, and also to prevent familiar faces from disappearing, students like Hirata are working hard behind the scenes to maintain the unity of Class A.

And so, the day before school started arrived.

Sakayanagi got up early to wash up. Because of her leg problems, she usually spent a lot of time washing up and getting dressed. So she set her alarm very early every day to give herself enough time to take care of her appearance.

However, today Sakayanagi's alarm clock went off an hour earlier than usual. Perhaps for those students still on spring break, today was the most reluctant day to end so quickly.

after all

After today, everyone will return to their usual school life, so everyone should enjoy the last day of their spring break with the idea of ​​"making the most of today".

However, Saka Yanagi cannot enjoy the last day of spring break like other students, because as the vice president of the student council, she has been assigned an important task.

Welcoming new students.

New students usually arrive a day before the official start of the semester, but some students arrive on the first day of the semester. The student council is responsible for welcoming the new students who arrive early and ensuring their food and accommodation.

Each student's special student card is issued uniformly on the first day of school, so if the new students who arrive today want to eat or buy daily necessities, they can only ask the members of the student union to buy them on their behalf. The student union has also prepared reimbursement funds in advance, and everything can be said to be very well arranged.

Logically speaking, given Sakayanagi's physical condition, no one would point fingers at her even if they weren't there. However, for Sakayanagi Arisu, who is about to become the student council president, now is the time to highlight her role.

As a service committee member, Ichinose was also asked by Sakayanagi to mobilize at least thirty volunteers to participate in the reception activities. Asahina, who was transferred to the publicity committee, was also pulled in to urgently produce promotional posters for the school and a handbook containing maps and some school rules to help freshmen understand the school more quickly.

After inspecting the student council's preparations, Sakayanagi returned to her office and began handling some of the student council's daily affairs.

It's worth mentioning that Kiriyama seemed to know that he was about to leave office, so he voluntarily vacated the student council president's office for Sakayanagi. However, Sakayanagi was afraid that people would gossip, so she didn't move in. Anyway, the start of school was not far away, so it didn't make much difference to her whether she moved in a few days earlier or later.

For her, the student council was nothing more than a pastime to kill time.

dong dong dong.

"Please come in."

Upon hearing the knock, Sakayanagi let the person in before they even gave their name. She believed in "efficiency" and preferred to solve the problem quickly rather than pretend to be calm.

"Excuse me for bothering you, but I came here to ask if you know where Amane went."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Sakayanagi finally looked away from the budget application form on the table. When she saw that it was Horikita Suzune, a rare smile appeared on her face.

"Horikita-kun, that's a strange question. If Amane is missing, why don't you just call her? Do you think I'm going to hide her here? Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for over a week. I thought she had already hung up."

Ever since Amane helped Horikita win the title of Class A, Amane hasn't gone to Sakayanagi's place.

Sakayanagi was waiting for Amane to come and comfort her, but no matter how long she waited, that idiot never showed up. Sakayanagi was so angry that she made up her mind that if Amane was kicked out again and wanted to stay overnight at her place, she would never let her step into her dormitory.

"You're such a vicious woman, do you really want her to die?"

Horikita Suzune seized upon Sakayanagi's emotional outburst and retorted sharply. Sakayanagi's face immediately darkened, but since she had spoken those words herself, there was nothing she could do about it being caught off guard by Horikita Suzune.

"Hmph, instead of playing word games with me here, why don't you go find your Tianyin first?"

Sakayanagi let out a soft snort of dissatisfaction.

"So you came here because you couldn't find me, right? Looks like you've made a wasted trip."

"Just give her a call."

"She forgot her phone in the dorm. When I woke up, Tianyin was gone. I initially thought she had gone downstairs to buy food because she was hungry, until I realized she didn't have her phone with her."

Horikita Suzune's words gave Sakayanagi a bright idea, and she thought of a way to make Horikita Suzune lose face.

"In my memory, Amane isn't such a reckless person. Could it be that she left her phone in the dorm on purpose so that Horikita-kun wouldn't find it?"

Sakayanagi's change in tone made Horikita Suzune roughly guess that what Sakayanagi was about to say would definitely not be good for her.

"What do you want to say, Sakayanagi-san?"

"Horikita-kun, you're really impatient. Calm down and think about it carefully. What could Amane possibly do to make you afraid to contact her? Right now, she's probably already cuddling with some girl. Poor Horikita-kun."

When Sakayanagi saw that Horikita Suzune's expression had also turned sour, his mood immediately improved considerably.

"So that's how it is. As expected of someone who grew up with Amane, you understand her so well. But I thought Amane would be with you after disappearing from my side. I didn't expect Amane's second choice wouldn't be you, Sakayanagi. Tsk tsk..."

Sakayanagi gripped the pen with increased force.

However, she quickly relaxed again. Sakayanagi knew that while Horikita might seem to be just teasing her, she was actually getting serious.

In matters of the heart, the one who takes things seriously first is undoubtedly the loser, whether it's in a relationship or an argument.

"There's nothing I can do. Amane has always liked to stick to me since she was little. Speaking of which, Amane has also been quite clingy to Horikita since she came to this school. I think you might also find this troublesome. After all, I experienced this feeling a long time ago. Amane is just too troublesome. If Horikita needs my help, I only need to say one word to get Amane to move out of your dorm. That way, Horikita can have more free time for herself."

With a smile, Sakayanagi uttered incredibly terrifying words.

Horikita Suzune's face paled slightly.

The thought that Amane might move out of her dormitory made Horikita Suzune feel anxious, but when she saw Sakayanagi's mocking gaze, she realized that Sakayanagi might not be able to do such a thing. If Sakayanagi could really change Amane's mind with just a word, then she would not have any chance at all. This battle called the battle for Amane should have been lost from the very beginning.

But now it doesn't seem like that at all, so it's highly likely that Sakayanagi won't be able to do what she said.

"There's no need to trouble Sakayanagi-san with this kind of thing. Amane is already at the age of rebellion, and she doesn't listen to what I say. If she doesn't listen to you either, you'll be very troubled, won't you?"

Horikita deliberately emphasized a certain word, and Sakayanagi's eyes gradually narrowed into slits.

"Well... Horikita-kun, would you like to give it a try?"

Horikita Suzune frowned slightly, looking like Sakayanagi, who seemed to be a child with a sudden burst of curiosity, and was about to try out the 'different' result that Horikita had mentioned.

But to Horikita, Sakayanagi's words sounded like an invitation for Horikita Suzune to settle their differences right there.

Frankly speaking, Horikita Suzune currently has no trump card to defeat Sakayanagi, while Sakayanagi has far too many trump cards that Horikita Suzune is unaware of. Fighting Sakayanagi here is completely against her in terms of timing, location, and personal strength. Therefore, after hesitating for a few seconds, Horikita decisively chose to refuse.

"You probably can't get in touch with Tianyin either, right?"

"That's true. Looks like we'll have to play this game another time."

Seeing that Horikita was trying to change the subject, and realizing that Horikita Suzune had chosen to back down, Sakayanagi's voice was filled with joy.

Just as Sakayanagi was about to send Horikita away, there was another knock on the office door.

"President Sakayanagi, excuse me, I am Asahina..."

"Asahina-san, please come in."

Although Sakayanagi is currently only the vice president, everyone knows that he will soon become the president, so they all refer to him as president in private.

"Asahina-kun, aren't you in charge of greeting new students at the school gate? What are you doing here?"

Most of the volunteers in Ichinose's organization are responsible for introducing accommodation to new students and helping with physical labor.

Asahina's publicity department recruited a lot of cute-looking girls from several clubs that were looking to recruit students early to help them make an appearance and be responsible for welcoming new students at the school gate.

But the orientation had only just begun when Asahina came to her looking dejected. Could something have happened?

"Sigh, don't even mention it. I was supposed to be in charge of welcoming the new students with the girls, but Miyako suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was very enthusiastically greeting the new students."

Heavenly Sound?

Sakayanagi glanced at Horikita, who could only shrug.

She originally came here to find Tianyin, so why would she come here if Tianyin was welcoming new students at the school gate?

"Isn't this a good thing? With Tianyin's help, your work should be much easier."

In Sakayanagi's opinion, Amane was the best candidate for the reception type, both in terms of appearance and personality.

With Tenon there, welcoming a few new students should be a piece of cake, right? But Asahina seems to have something she can't say.

"That's true, but... but... come and see for yourself. You can see from the window here that Tianyin and the others will be passing by soon."

Asahina drew back the curtains, and the glaring sunlight took Sakayanagi a long time to adjust to. Just as she was about to get up and find her cane, she saw Horikita reach out her hand to her.

Sakayanagi and Horikita exchanged a glance, and then Horikita helped her up from her seat. The two slowly walked to the windowsill.

Then…….

The two of them then understood why Asahina had that expression.

While helping the girl with her luggage, Tianyin chatted happily with her. Judging from the girl's smile, she had clearly developed feelings for Tianyin.

Meanwhile, the boy next to him carried his luggage and walked towards the dormitory building, occasionally glancing enviously at the girl who was being greeted by Tianyin.

"See? That's why I came to you for help, President Sakayanagi. Miyako-kun, you're acting way too... Huh? Why aren't you two saying anything?"

When Asahina-senpai noticed that the two of them were staring intently at Amane without saying a word, she suddenly remembered something.

Oh no, if she remembered correctly, both Horikita and Sakayanagi had ambiguous rumors with Amane.

She deliberately told the two of them about Tianyin's close relationship with the first-year student...

She will definitely be assassinated by Tianyin!!!

"Sorry, I suddenly feel unwell and need to go back to my dorm to rest..."

"So suddenly? Then Asahina-san, you should go back now and take care of yourself."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."

Asahina left the student council office with a long face.

After Asahina had walked away, Horikita immediately slammed his fist on the windowsill.

"Damn it! I knew Tianyin must be up to something by not sleeping in today and deliberately leaving her things in the dorm."

"Is she just afraid you'll hit her? Honestly, Tianyin is so cute, can't you be a little gentler with her?"

"Tianyin is already trying to seduce new girls~"

"Well, I don't feel any anxiety about 'falling out of favor,' but Horikita-kun, you're different, right? Hehe..."

Sakayanagi's mischievous gaze made Horikita blush. Before Sakayanagi could press his advantage, Horikita hurriedly left after uttering a polite remark.

It looks like they're going to cause trouble for Tianyin.

After Horikita Suzune left, Sakayanagi stared blankly at Amane's departing figure, slightly lost in thought.

"Has she fallen out of favor? Judging from Horikita's reaction, it seems quite alarming. In that case, maybe it would be better if I took the initiative to invite Amane more often? Speaking of which... I haven't seen her for a week, and I do miss her a bit."

Chapter Two: Good Morning Kiss

The spring break, which felt both long and short, has finally come to an end.

Starting today, all former first-year students will be transferred to second-year classrooms and begin to embrace their new identities.

With anticipation in her heart, Amane pulled Horikita along with cheerful steps towards the classroom of Class 2-A. If it weren't for the rule against running around inside the school building, Amane would probably be running at full speed by now.
