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

"Slow down, slow down. It's just that you've moved up to the second year. Tianyin, do you have to be so happy?"

Horikita, who was being pulled along by Amane at a rapid pace, couldn't help but ask Amane about her unusual behavior.

Just yesterday, before going to sleep, Tianyin was still Tianyin, not much different from before. But after waking up, Tianyin was full of energy, as if she had been given a stimulant, and began to prepare for the new semester.

When Horikita first met Amane, who woke up before her, she preferred to believe that Amane was feeling unwell rather than that Amane had changed her personality.

After having breakfast, Amane couldn't wait to drag Horikita through the campus, attracting surprised glances from many passersby.

"That's second grade! I heard they even changed classrooms, so we need to find a good seat quickly."

When Horikita heard Amane say she needed to find a good seat, he finally understood why Amane was in such a hurry.

Last semester, the school assigned seats according to name order, and students could not change them in principle. This resulted in Amane and Horikita not sitting next to each other, and they had to be separated by Ayanokoji to talk to each other. However, when they moved up to the second year, the classrooms were changed and there was no more talk of the school arranging seats. So it is highly likely that students can choose their seats freely.

So Amane got up very early to try and snag a seat next to Horikita before anyone else.

"Second grade, second grade... Class A! Found you! Rin-ne, this is our new class..."

Tianyin happily pushed open the classroom door of Class 2A.

Then he froze at the doorway.

The students who were chatting in the class all turned their attention to Tianyin, who was frozen in place at the door.

Familiar classmates, familiar ceiling, familiar desks and chairs, familiar classroom layout...

"Isn't this just like a first-grade classroom?!"

Tianyin finally couldn't help but complain.

"Huh? Yinyin, haven't you heard? It seems even the third-grade classrooms look like this!"

Hasebe kindly delivered the final blow to Amane.

"The school really isn't going to prepare any surprises for us at all. It's just a change of floor, right? We climbed two more floors only to find ourselves studying in the exact same classroom. It's so lame!"

Amane's dissatisfaction made Hasebe laugh.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"Well, I was just saying it casually... Wow! Haruka, I didn't expect that you would actually... actually..."

As Amane spoke, her eyes casually swept over Hasebe, and in an instant, his face, which had been full of disappointment, was filled with shock.

Hasebe was startled by Amane's sudden outburst and quickly began to check his clothes.

"Huh? Is there something wrong with my clothes?"

"If I remember correctly, Haruka, your school uniform is the largest style among the girls' uniforms, right?"

Amane's gaze gradually moved downwards from Hasebe's face, which was neither ugly nor particularly stunning.

Having been scrutinized by similar gazes countless times before, Hasebe immediately guessed what Amane wanted to say and quickly covered his chest with his hands.

"I... I had no choice. This school uniform is already the largest size among the girls' styles, but... there's no way to tell the logistics teacher in charge of distributing the uniforms."

Amane thought back and realized that the person in charge of distributing and changing student uniforms seemed to be a male teacher. In that case, Hasebe was indeed too embarrassed to suggest that he specially customize a uniform for her or buy more larger sizes of uniforms when purchasing them.

"There's already an F, right? It's definitely an F!"

"Don't speak so loudly!! And it's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be, Yin Yin. It's probably an E cup... I guess it's gotten a bit bigger now, but it couldn't possibly be as scary as an F cup... Oh my god, what am I saying? Ahhhhh, I'm so embarrassed to be discussing this kind of thing in the classroom!!"

After realizing that he had discussed something inappropriate with Amane in public, Hasebe covered his face shyly and returned to his seat.

As soon as he returned to his seat, Hasebe buried his head in the table, looking as cute as an ostrich from a distance.

Amane couldn't help but swallow hard, then turned around and looked at Horikita beside her with an expectant expression.

"Rinne~ I also want you to have a figure like Haruka's~ Ah—"

The long-lost pain in her abdomen instantly pulled Tianyin back to reality from her reverie.

Horikita stood in front of Amane and leaned close to her ear.

"I'm really sorry I'm not as well-developed as Hasebe-kun. Also, you dare to look at Hasebe-kun so brazenly in front of me. You really don't respect me. In that case... there won't be any special program for tonight! Consider it punishment for Amane's obsession with other girls' breasts."

After Horikita finished speaking, she quickly bit Amane's earlobe from a secluded angle, and then pretended to be nonchalant as she tidied Amane's hair.

Amane was caught off guard by Horikita's sneak attack, and her cheeks turned slightly red. It wasn't Amane's style to not fight back after being ambushed, so while Horikita was still pretending to fix her hair, Amane gave her a quick peck.

"Huh?!"

Oh no!!

The moment Tenon swooped down, Horikita tried to dodge, her eyes showing a hint of panic. But Tenon had already seen through her dodge route. After dodging the first attack, Tenon followed up perfectly and took down Horikita.

"Tianyin and others..."

Before Horikita could finish speaking, Amane abruptly interrupted her slightly flustered words. After a brief exchange, a satisfied Amane turned around and met the gazes of Ichinose, Sato, Karuizawa, and several other girls.

Tianyin's expression froze instantly.

"I already told you to wait, let's see how you explain this now."

Horikita gave Amane a "good luck" look before walking toward her old seat from her first year.

Only Tianyin was left standing there in the front row, developing in a daze.

"Hmph, so shameless so early in the morning."

Sato made a sarcastic remark and then returned to his seat with a flushed face.

Karuizawa seemed to want to say something, but in the end she couldn't say it. Instead, she ran back to her seat with her face flushed red.

"Good morning, Amane. I didn't expect you to be playing kissing games with Horikita so early in the morning."

Ichinose walked up to Amane without any hesitation and even teased her a little.

"Good morning, Honami... Actually, it's not what you think."

"It's not what I thought, it's—what is it like?"

As Ichinose spoke, she looked up at the monitor, then stood on tiptoe and whispered into Amane's ear.

"There are security cameras here, just like before. If you go too far, you'll get scolded by the teacher. If a teacher sees you doing this in the classroom on the monitor, they'll be very angry, right?"

"Well, that's true... but actually I was giving Rin a good morning kiss! That's right! A good morning kiss!!"

Amane seemed to have grasped at a lifeline, and her desperate attempt to hide her true feelings was incredibly endearing to Ichinose.

Seeing how cute Tianyin was on the first day of school, I decided not to tease her anymore.

"Good morning kiss... I'm so envious of Horikita-kun for having a good morning kiss from you, Amane. Unlike me... I don't even have anyone to wake me up. I almost overslept today."

Ichinose's smile gave off a gentle, spring-like feeling, but at that moment, Amane gasped in shock.

Something about this sounds a bit off. Could it be that Ichinose is jealous?

Amane secretly glanced at Ichinose, who noticed Amane looking at her and deliberately tilted her head to reveal an even cuter smile.

Even Tianyin was somewhat distracted.

"Cough cough."

Just as Amane was staring at Ichinose, Horikita's light cough successfully triggered the mark that Horikita had just placed on Amane's abdomen with "Sanction".

The faint pain emanating from her abdomen successfully suppressed Tianyin's aching heart.

"Then I'll wake you up next time, Fanbo? But how would you like me to wake you up?"

"Huh? Is there any difference in waking someone up?"

Ichinose blinked in confusion. Looking at Ichinose's innocent, lamb-like expression, Amane couldn't help but want to transform into a big bad wolf and give this innocent little lamb in front of her some special color.

"Of course! Whether you want me to stand at the door and bang on it to wake you up, or to gently wake you up by whispering in your ear, it's a completely different feeling!"

After speaking, Amane winked at Ichinose, her mischievous intent obvious.

Amane originally planned to make Ichinose blush with a joke so that she would quickly return to her seat, thus freeing Amane from having to endure it any longer.

But to everyone's surprise, Ichinose didn't feel embarrassed by Amane's joke. Instead, she cutely poked Amane's cheek with her finger.

"Tianyin, you're so mean! Playing this kind of joke on me so early in the morning. If I took it seriously, would you really wake me up by whispering in my ear?"

"Cough cough."

"Probably..."

Will there be a good morning kiss?

Ichinose's pink lips are so tempting...

"Cough cough."

"It will happen... I think."

"I don't believe you. I won't believe you're not joking with me unless you give me a good morning kiss first."

As Ichinose spoke, he actually turned his face towards Amane, as if waiting for Amane to kiss him.

"Cough cough cough...cough."

"Horikita-kun, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Meiyu, who was reading a book, couldn't help but turn around and ask with concern when she heard Horikita Suzune coughing incessantly.

Horikita Suzune's face flushed slightly. She knew her reaction was a bit too obvious, and could only give vague answers to Wang Meiyu's questions.

However, the other students in the class were not as naive and easily fooled as Wang Meiyu. Immediately, some of them looked at Ichinose, who was chatting and laughing with Amane.

Just when Amane didn't know how to escape, Karuizawa came to Ichinose's side.

"Hey, Ichinose, please let Amane go. If you keep going, Horikita-san's throat will be hoarse from coughing."

Karuizawa half-jokingly tried to smooth things over, and some snickers rang out in the class. Horikita, embarrassed by Karuizawa's revelation, turned her head toward the window, seemingly unconcerned about being exposed. However, her flushed cheeks revealed that she was quite emotionally affected.

Ichinose gave Karuizawa a meaningful look, then followed Karuizawa back to her seat, allowing Amane to finally escape back to her seat with difficulty.

"Ring sound~"

"Humph."

"Rin-chan~"

"Hiss... Can you be normal for once?"

Horikita glared at Amane with a look of disgust.

Amane stuck out her tongue and turned her head away, mimicking Horikita Suzune's cold snort.

"Hmph, it's your own fault for ignoring me just now, Lingyin. By the way, why didn't you sit behind me, Lingyin?"

Amane, who was sitting in the same spot as the first-graders, then realized that Horikita had actually chosen the same spot again.

Seeing that it was only now that he realized what was happening, Horikita rubbed his forehead with a slight headache.

"Didn't you see the words on the whiteboard?"

Whiteboard?

Tianyin looked up at the blackboard. Just a few days ago, the blackboard was written on with chalk, but now it had been transformed into a high-tech whiteboard screen.

Although this technology has been widely adopted for some time, the school has only recently replaced all classrooms with this equipment.

However, this was not enough to bother Tianyin, because Tianyin never looked at the blackboard. During class, her mind was always wandering, her eyelids were drooping, and her brain was shutting down. In short, everyone was doing their own thing and they basically did not cooperate in learning.

So, the blackboard upgrade was at most something that Tianyin would just say "Oh~" and that was it. What really caught Tianyin's attention was a line of words on the whiteboard.

"Wait in the same spot you were in first grade."

Amane's dream of sitting with Horikita has been completely shattered.

"Waaaaah, I was hoping to sit with you, Suzune..."

Amane squeezed out a few tears and looked pitifully at Horikita. If it were before, Horikita would have softened and come over to comfort Amane, but Amane had long since used this trick so much that Horikita had developed an immunity to it.

"Amane, do you really want to sit with me? Just think about Hasebe-kun's figure..."

"figure!"

"Think about how cute Ichinose-san is."

"cute!"

"Think about me again."

"..."
