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

"You have quite a few requests. The tomato juice is in the fridge, just get it yourself."

Sakayanagi pointed to the refrigerator in the corner, indicating that Amane could do as she pleased.

Tianyin was stunned for a moment when she saw the refrigerator.

Does this school treat student council officers so well? Sakayanagi, just a vice president of the student council, not only has his own office, but he even has his own refrigerator!!

It's worth noting that even Horikita Manabu's office back then was so rudimentary that it didn't even have air conditioning.

According to Horikita Manabu, one should learn frugality and patience, and also appreciate the beauty of all things in the four realms...

At that time, Tianyin thought that if she had such a big office, she would definitely install two air conditioners and then arrange a refrigerator, so that she could freeze a whole refrigerator full of chilled drinks and ice cream in the middle of summer.

Just thinking about it makes me feel refreshed... Hmm? It seems that Sakayanagi's office really does have two air conditioners. So she's also afraid of the heat?

Tianyin opened the refrigerator.

Tianyin's eyes widened when she thought there would only be a few bottles of mineral water and juice.

In addition to chilled juice, the refrigerator also contained barley tea and various other beverages, as well as a fruit platter covered with plastic wrap, though not numerous in quantity but rich in variety.

And... a big bag of fresh vegetables?

There's also meat and eggs below...

There was even ice cream at the very bottom.

Is this really a benefit that students in the student union can enjoy?

"The tomato juice is on the second layer. I put it where you can see it at a glance, so don't tell me you didn't see it."

Sakayanagi's words gradually brought Amane back to her senses, and Amane subconsciously took a can of tomato juice from inside.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that no one around her drinks tomato juice except for her, well... except for those unlucky people who get tricked the first time.

In other words, Sakayanagi really did prepare it for her...

"Arisu..."

"Why are you looking at me like that? I just... I just thought you might come here occasionally, so I prepared some in advance as a backup. Who knew you'd only come here twice, including this time, and I ended up drinking all the nearly expired tomato juice by myself. I really don't know why you're so fond of tomato juice."

Sakayanagi felt her cheeks burning at the sight of Amane's teary eyes. She didn't want to admit that she was waiting here every day for some idiot to come and talk to her.

The chocolates I prepared for Tianyin were all eaten up when she was bored, which is a bit of a shame. I'll make more next time and store them away.

"like……"

"Ok?"

"I love Arisu the most!"

"I'm sick of hearing that. You say you like me but haven't come to see me for half a month..."

Sakayanagi's voice abruptly stopped.

What is she doing? She used to think she wouldn't be like those ridiculous, complaining women, but now she's become the very thing she hates most.

"mua~"

Tenon gently tapped Sakayanagi's forehead.

"Idiot! There are security cameras in the office too!!!"

"Huh?! I thought there were no security cameras..."

"Pfft, Tianyin, you haven't improved at all, just like before. You believe everything I say. Aren't you afraid that one day I'll swindle you out of your life?"

Sakayanagi cupped Amane's face in his hands, looking her over from left to right as if examining a beloved treasure.

"I won't be fooled."

"I also like Miyako Amane. Guess if I'm lying to you about that."

"Hmph, knowing you as I do, you definitely wouldn't lie to me."

Tianyin answered confidently.

Amane was quite confident in Sakayanagi's feelings for her.

However, as Sakayanagi gazed at her, Amane's confidence began to waver.

"Arisu, you still haven't told me the answer."

Amane tried to get a reassuring answer from Sakayanagi, but Sakayanagi didn't answer Amane's request; he just smiled and looked into Amane's eyes.

Until… a cloud in the sky blocked out the sunlight, and the entire student council office suddenly became dark, Sakayanagi slowly spoke.

"The answer is of course..."

Sakayanagi's voice was so soft it was almost inaudible, which made Amane unable to resist bringing her close to Sakayanagi's lips, wanting to hear what she was saying.

Just then.

Tianyin felt as if something soft had touched her face.

"Correct answer."

When the clouds were blown away by the breeze and the sunlight filled the small room once again, Tianyin finally got the answer she wanted.

"Phew—Arisu, you almost scared me to death just now. Honestly, I guessed right and you still teased me on purpose."

Tenon patted her chest lightly. She had indeed been a little nervous just now, afraid that she would get a 'wrong' result from Sakayanagi.

Fortunately, it was just a little joke that Sakayanagi played on her.

Consider this punishment for ignoring Sakayanagi before.

"Since you trust me so much, how could I possibly lie to you? I think it's because you've been spending too much time with other girls that you're afraid I'll leave. I've heard that... in a romantic relationship, the person who falls in love with the other person first is the loser."

"Huh? Is there such a strange saying?"

Amane opened the tomato juice and took a few big gulps. Then, after glancing at Sakayanagi who was still staring at her, she hesitated for a moment before handing the tomato juice to Sakayanagi.

"The tomato juice tastes pretty good."

Sakayanagi took the remaining half-can of tomato juice from Amane, shook it gently, and then drank it all in one gulp.

It seems she's the loser.

"It tastes awful. Why do you like drinking this stuff?"

With a furrowed brow and a look of disgust, Sakayanagi tossed the tomato juice can into the nearby trash can, planning to dispose of it in the recycling bin later when she had time.

"I think it tastes really good... Oh, right! I'm going to report you, Arisu!"

Amane suddenly stretched out a finger and gently poked the tip of Sakayanagi's nose.

"Report me? It seems like compared to me, Tianyin, you're the one who should be reported, right? But tell me, what are you going to report me for?"

"Hehe... There seem to be some vegetables and meat in the fridge. No matter how much the student council treats its members well, they wouldn't prepare this kind of food, right? So, Arisu, you've violated the school's rules!"

"No, the school said that cooked food is not allowed, but my vegetables and meat are raw, so I can bring them."

Sakayanagi breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Amane had really discovered something, but she didn't expect that she would report her just because there were vegetables in the refrigerator. Fortunately, she had thought of a countermeasure in advance.

Looking at her flawless self, Sakayanagi couldn't help but reveal a composed smile.

No matter how hard Tianyin tries to find flaws in her, it's useless, because she is the most perfect...

"So that's how it works... How awful! I was hoping to use this to trick you into kissing me a few times, what a pity."

"Well, I don't think it's quite appropriate to bring raw food into the student union office."

Oh no! I didn't expect Tianyin to be using the pretense of reporting me to get intimate with me. What should I do?

After a rapid mental search, Sakayanagi immediately chose to deny what he had just said.

"But Arisu, didn't you just say it was in accordance with school regulations?"

"That...that only complies with the school's regulations, not with my own standards. As the vice president of the student council, I must set an example. Being reported by you, Tianyin, was unavoidable, so...I am willing to accept the punishment."

Sakayanagi looked at Amane with a flushed face and an expectant expression, as if he was thinking about where to kiss her later.

As a result, Tianyin winked slyly.

"Is any punishment acceptable?"

"Huh? What kind of punishment... Although there are no security cameras here, the office door can't be locked from the inside, so let's not go too far... Well, if you insist on that kind of punishment... there's a folding bed for temporary rest in the room next door..."

"Arisu, what are you talking about? I said I'm going to punish you for agreeing to my request to hold an auction!"

This chapter has not been approved.

The content of this chapter has not been approved.

Chapter 8: Are you confessing your love to me?

When does Tianyin plan to hold the auction?

While pretending to chat with Amane about the auction, Sakayanagi quickly wrote the name 'Asahina' in Amane's palm.

Even though the other person had their back to the monitor, Sakayanagi, who spent every day with the student council officers, easily recognized them as Asahina Nazuna from Class 3-A.

The reason why Sakayanagi could recognize Asahina at a glance was not because Sakayanagi and Asahina were particularly close, but mainly because Asahina's flower hair clip was so distinctive that any student council member could recognize her as Asahina just by seeing that hair clip.

But recognizing who the other person is is useless in the current situation; if they push the door open and come in...

Sakayanagi dared not think about what the consequences would be, being caught by a third-year senior doing such a thing with the future student council president and a girl of the same grade.

This will undoubtedly become the hottest topic in high school education in the future, bar none. Faced with such a sudden situation, and with the lingering shock of his previous mental blankness, Sakayanagi couldn't think of any good solutions. Seeing Asahina pressed against the door again, clearly intending to continue eavesdropping, Sakayanagi could only place his hopes on Amane beside him...

When Sakayanagi turned around, Amane was happily playing with the finger that Sakayanagi had used to write in her palm, completely unaware of what Sakayanagi had written.

Boom!

Sakayanagi mustered all his strength to sit up slightly and gently tapped Amane's head with the back of his fingers.

"Tianyin, are you even listening to me?!"

"Ah...where were we again?"

Amane was reminded by Sakaryu that the current situation was not good, and she quickly communicated with Sakaryu through eye contact.

"Honestly, you came to me specifically to talk about the auction, so why are you being so unserious? I just asked Tianyin when you plan to hold the auction, and I can also mobilize the student council to cooperate with you."

Sakayanagi winked at Amane and then spread her hands, indicating that she hadn't come up with any good ideas.

Since that's the case, the responsibility of resolving the crisis will fall to Amane. Amane glanced at the screen and recognized the other party as Asahina Nagisa.

Moreover, judging from the timing, she must have heard the previous sounds, so it would be difficult for her to deny it. Should she say that she was rehearsing something with Sakayanagi?

Rehearsals? Even if Asahina-senpai is naive, she's not stupid. This kind of excuse, which even Kaede wouldn't believe, can't possibly fool Asahina-senpai.

What should I do?

"I plan to hold the auction after the first-year club recruitment fair ends this afternoon. The recruitment fair, like the one we held at the beginning of the semester, is in the gymnasium. It's a rare opportunity to gather most of the first-year students together. If we miss this opportunity, the auction will be hard to achieve its best results."

Tianyin gestured horizontally across her throat with her hand.

Unable to think of an effective solution, Amane decided to directly deal with Asahina-senpai, who was eavesdropping.

Sakayanagi drew an X on his chest at Amane's reckless behavior, clearly indicating that he thought this method wouldn't work. There were surveillance cameras in the corridor. Even if Amane knocked Asahina-senpai unconscious immediately, it would only resolve the embarrassing situation of being caught by her. However, Asahina would still tell everyone what she saw or heard today. Unless Amane actually physically eliminated her, but... that possibility was rather low.

Although Amane can be ruthless towards girls, it mainly depends on whether the girl is good-looking or not. For example, with girls like Karuizawa in Amane's class, even if they do something wrong, Amane will only bully them and that's it; she will never do anything too violent.

Asahina is clearly the kind of girl who is good-looking, possessing the innocent personality of Ichinose while also having the vitality of Karuizawa. It is unrealistic to expect Amane to be ruthless towards such a girl.

Thinking of this, Sakayanagi couldn't help but roll his eyes at Amane.

This guy always checks how good-looking someone is before doing anything bad; he's hopeless.

Tianyin, who had been inexplicably given a disdainful look, tilted her head, clearly not understanding why she had suddenly been disliked.

"That's not a big problem. I'll talk to President Kiriyama. If you want to organize an auction, then Kanzaki and Ryuen..."

"Leave it to me."

Tianyin said this with great confidence, completely forgetting that they were just using this as a cover.

Sakayanagi seemed to have thought of something amusing, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

"Amane is really reliable. Go back and persuade Ryuen and Kanzaki to join the auction as well."

"Okay, I'll get right away..."

Tianyin turned to leave, but then she suddenly remembered why the two of them had been talking about this topic, and her body stiffened instantly.

"I'm going back now."
