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

He actually received a letter from a first-year girl. Need I say more? It was definitely a love letter or something, no wonder Sato was so angry...

Just as Tianyin judged that this was a dispute caused by jealousy, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Just as Ayanokoji received a confession from Tenze, Ayanokoji also received a similar letter. Could it be that their plan has already begun?

If the members of the White House have already started targeting Ayanokouji, should she step in to help him?

According to the intelligence that Hiko discovered, the people coming from the White House seemed to be divided into two groups. One group, led by Yagami, seemed to be carrying out some kind of plan to make Ayanokouji drop out of school. The other group was Amane Ichika, whom Amane knew.

Tianze Yixia didn't know why he set his sights on her, and Tianyin didn't pay much attention to Tianze's little tricks.

Whether it's Tianze or Yagami, their current roles are somewhat similar to assassins, focusing on delivering a fatal blow to their target from the shadows.

As it turns out, both of them were idiots. First, Tenze's plan was accidentally foiled by Tenon, giving Tenon the opportunity to find out everything about Tenze and Yagami. Then, Yagami, as an assassin, actually planned to use a direct confrontation to deal with Ayanokouji.

If it weren't for Masahiko's firm answer when she confirmed with him, Amane would have almost suspected that Ayanokouji Atsuomi owed Yagami some money. How could he possibly drag all the remaining members of the White House to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to give him a big boob?

Assassins should have the awareness of assassins. Whether it's scheming or framing, Amane can completely understand such things. But Ayanokouji Atsuomi went to great lengths to get them into school, and they actually came up with a plan to use a special exam to expel Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. Isn't that ridiculous?

Because if Amane loses the special exam, she will definitely be affected as well. So if Ayanokouji is in danger during the special exam, Amane will have to save him even if she doesn't want to. After all, everyone is watching. If you don't save him this time, everyone will doubt whether you are the next Ayanokouji and the morale will collapse.

However, if Yagami uses underhanded tactics to cause Ayanokouji to be expelled from school because of her, Amane would have ample reason to choose not to help.

So no matter how you look at it, a direct confrontation is the most foolish approach, but Yagami seems to have a lot of confidence in his own abilities, and even kicked Tensawa out of the team. Even after being kicked out, Tensawa still didn't give up and planned to feed the enemy...

If Tianyin had to comment on this year's White House students, she could only lament that the level of White House students has been declining year by year.

Although Amane was called Number Zero because she was the first successful case of training, she was actually a year younger than Ayanokouji, and in her memory, there weren't any decent people in her class.

That being said, the reason Amane didn't want to interfere with Ayanokouji was because their agreement had now ended.

The class has now been successfully promoted to Class A, and Amane has no obligation to protect Ayanokouji anymore. So if Ayanokouji Atsuomi personally comes to put pressure on them, there might actually be a chance to take Ayanokouji away from Koyu.

Unfortunately, Ayanokouji Atsuomi was unaware that the reason Amane had supported Ayanokouji Kiyotaka last time was because of an agreement between the two.

That's why this farcical situation has come about, even though Amane really hopes that someone like Ayanokouji can stay in the class and contribute to Class A.

but……

Tianyin knew very well that was impossible.

Therefore, whether or not to keep Ayanokouji became a question that Amane needed to consider.

However, things haven't progressed to the point where Ayanokouji is going to drop out of school yet, and Amane still has enough time to think things through.

"A first-grade girl's love letter?"

Amane wrote down the question with a sense of understanding. Besides a love letter, Amane couldn't think of any other possibility for being written to by a first-year girl.

But Ayanokouji gave Amane a completely different answer.

"I don't think it should be considered a love letter. It's very complicated to express. If I had to describe it, it would be like a letter that a girl who had a crush on me once wrote to me, expressing how much she cared about me and how she wanted to see me no matter what. The letter didn't mention anything about confessing or liking me. Maybe she already knows that I have a boyfriend and has given up on the idea of ​​confessing."

ha?

After seeing Ayanokouji's reply, Amane was taken aback for a moment. After confirming that Ayanokouji was not writing the sentence out of narcissism, Amane became interested, feeling that there was a lot of gossip to be explored.

"What about the signature? The other party should at least leave their name. Do you even know who they are?"

"I have absolutely no recollection of it; the letter was signed 'Snow' at the end."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Who are you again?

Snow?

Tianyin tried to search the depths of her memory for the name, only to find that she had no recollection of it at all.

This suggests that the other person might not be someone I know, but... could a girl that neither I nor Ayanokouji recognize really be from the White House?

"You already know the name, so why don't you just search for it on OAA? You didn't even think of something this simple?"

Once you have the key parts of a name, you can search using OAA to find out the other person's basic information, such as their full name, class, and most importantly, their photo.

Having a photo might remind Ayanokouji of something.

“No, this name might be a code name. Maya has already searched, and there isn’t a single girl named ‘Snow’ in the entire first year.”

As Ayanokouji wrote this, he couldn't help but rub his aching temples. He had tried to keep a low profile as much as possible since the sports festival, but he didn't expect trouble to still find him.

Whether Ayanokouji actually knew this girl named Yuki, or whether what she said in the letter was true or not, was irrelevant to Ayanokouji. What truly concerned Ayanokouji was the girl's purpose.

Although Amane did not reveal any information to Ayanokouji, Ayanokouji still keenly sensed that Ayanokouji Atsuomi had already extended his reach into the school.

If the previous agreement still stands, Ayanokouji isn't worried about what Ayanokouji Atsuomi could do to him, since that man isn't powerful enough to have connections everywhere.

Now that Ayanokouji and Amane's agreement has ended, Ayanokouji, who has lost the protection of the Miyako family, must carefully deal with what may be the man's schemes.

"That's really interesting. Are you going to meet them after school?"

Amane offered her suggestion: instead of guessing here, why not meet the person directly? If seeing the person's face might remind Ayanokouji of something, it would save them the time of guessing.

“I also plan to meet her, but Maya is having some trouble.”

It's rare to find something that even Ayanokouji finds 'troublesome'.

Does this mean that Ayanokouji still cares about Sato? In this state, would Ayanokouji really be a match for Yagami and the others?

Amane had no doubt that Ayanokouji, in his serious state, had the strength to fight her to the death. Although Amane did not think she would lose, she was also not confident in defeating Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was willing to do anything to take her down with him.

This is the main reason why Ayanokouji didn't take any action even though he outwardly obeyed her orders. Before he had an absolutely certain way of eliminating Ayanokouji Kiyotaka without any losses, it was better not to provoke this bomb that could explode at any time.

But that was Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who had no weaknesses.

Now...

With Sato as a weakness, it remains to be seen how much strength Ayanokoji Kiyotaka will be able to unleash, and why he will abandon Sato without hesitation.

Just listen to these words and don't take them too seriously. If Ayanokouji had that kind of awareness, he wouldn't be considering Sato's feelings when faced with this kind of situation.

"I'll have Honami help stall Sato, but it definitely won't be for long. Once you've gathered the necessary information, you need to end the conversation promptly, otherwise, even I won't be able to calm Sato down if she gets angry."

"No problem, then I'll leave it to Ichinose-san."

"OK"

After giving Ayanokouji an OK sign, Amane tore the pages filled with their conversation from her notebook, intending to destroy them after school.

As for Ayanokouji's side...

He had only promised that Ichinose would help hold Sato back; he hadn't said he wouldn't peek. He figured it wouldn't be a problem to follow Ayanokouji to see what the girl who confessed to him looked like.

……

After school.

Sato, who had another argument with Ayanokouji at noon, was in a terrible mood. She knew that some of her questions might have been too extreme, and it was normal that Ayanokouji couldn't answer them.

If Sato herself were questioned like that by Ayanokouji, she would probably immediately call him a lunatic and break up with him, right?

But for some reason, Sato didn't want to reason with Ayanokouji right now; she just wanted to know the truth!

What exactly is the relationship between that girl named Yuki and Ayanokouji?

The reason why Sato is the way he is now, apart from the fact that the letter had some effect, is actually due to Ayanokouji himself.

Like Amane, Ayanokouji was unwilling to talk about her past, but unlike Amane, Horikita and the others understood that everyone has their own secrets. Since Amane didn't want to tell them, they had no intention of digging deeper.

However, Sato couldn't accept that the people around her were hiding too many secrets. The more she accepted Ayanokouji, the more she felt that Ayanokouji seemed a little clumsy compared to normal people, but Ayanokouji's performance in some special matters could only be described as amazing.

Sato was so amazed that she didn't think she could date a guy of that caliber. The difference in their abilities made Sato feel very uneasy. Fortunately, in her second year, there was Amane, a guy who frequented the girls' group.

Tianyin's excellence has attracted the attention of many girls. Even girls who are not interested in same-sex relationships cannot ignore the attraction brought by Tianyin's pure strength.

This relieved Sato, who was constantly worried that Ayanokouji would be snatched away. In order to spread rumors about Amane, she would often promote Amane's excellence in private, trying to divert the attention of seductive girls from her boyfriend.

Maya Sato spent her days with this feeling in mind. She had thought that no matter how well Ayanokouji hid it, someone would eventually discover Ayanokouji's excellence, and someone might even confess to Kiyotaka. She wondered how she, as Kiyotaka's girlfriend, would handle such a situation.

However, every time Sato thinks of that unpleasant scene, he subconsciously chooses to escape, so even today Sato has not come up with the most suitable way to deal with it.

Because there was no way to solve this problem, Sato hoped that Ayanokouji could step forward and become the man she could rely on.

However, Ayanokouji chose to meet the girl who wrote the letter. From Ayanokouji's perspective, simply running away from such a strange situation would only complicate matters. To solve the problem, it was necessary to communicate with the person involved face-to-face.

For the sake of gathering intelligence, Ayanokouji has a reason to meet with "Yuki".

However, he did not tell Sato his thoughts, because Ayanokouji knew very well that once he started, Sato would keep asking him countless questions that he could not answer.

The end result would only be a pointless argument between the two, so Ayanokouji chose to solve the problem by himself.

Without knowing Ayanokouji's plans at all, Sato saw Ayanokouji's mysterious behavior as something he was hiding. Coupled with certain contents of the letter, Sato easily concluded that "Yuki" and Ayanokouji had an unusually close relationship.

Even if the letter only expressed a desire to meet and didn't mention anything like confessing, how could it possibly fool Sato? In Sato's view, using a vague reason to ask a guy out to assess his suitability before deciding whether to confess was a tactic that had been overused.

Therefore, Maya Sato can be certain that the girl named "Yuki" asked Ayanokouji to meet her in order to confess her feelings!

As Ayanokouji's girlfriend, she had to rush to the scene to stop it from happening.

The reason I say "rushed" is because Ayanokouji specifically asked to go to the restroom halfway through to avoid being bothered by Sato, and then he never came back.

Sato, who hadn't seen Ayanokouji by the time school ended, naturally knew that Ayanokouji must have gone to meet that vixen.

But just as she picked up her bag and was about to leave, Ichinose stopped her.

"Could I take up a little of your time, Sato? I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

"Sorry, I have something important to do today. How about we talk another time? As compensation, I'll treat you to milk tea next time."

After Sato finished speaking, he was about to leave when Ichinose grabbed his arm rather roughly.

"Is there anything else? I already told you I have important things to do today!"

Sato was extremely anxious. Despite knowing that it was wrong to lose her temper with Ichinose after being repeatedly blocked by her, she still couldn't control her anger and roared loudly.

In an instant, all the students' eyes were focused on Sato. It was after school, but there were still quite a few students in the class who hadn't left. Sato's commotion only drew more attention to her.

"Is Sato-san in a hurry to find Ayanokouji-san?"

Ichinose spoke before Sato could break free from her.

Upon hearing the topic of Ayanokouji, Sato calmed down slightly.

"Ichinose, since you knew what I was going to do, why did you still try to stop me?"

Sato couldn't understand why Ichinose, who was also a girl, would stand on Ayanokouji's side and block her, which made Sato, who already had a conflict with Ichinose, speak with impatience.

Ichinose knew that her 'friendly' relationship with Sato was only superficial, and that the actual estrangement could not be resolved by going out together a few times. Therefore, Ichinose planned to use a little trick.

If we cleverly utilize Amane's influence, even Sato might listen to us a little, right?

"It was Tianyin who told me to stop you."

"What? Miyako told you to stop me?"

As Ichinose had predicted, Sato's attitude softened considerably after Ichinose uttered the name that sent chills down Sato's spine.

"That's right, otherwise why would I do something so thankless?"

"But... why won't Miyako let me go see Kiyotaka? Are they planning something?"

Sato calmed down because she believed that what the person named Yuki wrote in the letter was probably true, but she didn't believe that with Amane around, that guy could still cause any trouble in front of Amane.

Amane is already so outstanding that she can be called a monster. Even he himself has confessed to her before. You can imagine how attractive Amane is to other people. As long as Amane is by Ayanokouji's side, that guy named Yuki will feel ashamed and choose to give up.

However, Sato thought of other things besides this.

After all, Tianyin is known for its expertise in intrigue and violence. When people talk about Tianyin, their first reaction is always, "Is Tianyin plotting something again?"

Therefore, Sato mistakenly believed that Amane and Ayanokouji were carrying out some kind of plan that they couldn't tell anyone else. If that were the case, he thought that if he went there rashly, it might make things worse.

"I don't know either. Amane told me that Sato-san is someone you can understand her intentions."

In fact, Ichinose knew that Amane probably just wanted to go along to see the gossip, but her task was to stall Sato, so she could only use various hints to lure Sato into thinking in the wrong direction.

"I see... then I'll wait for now."

Sato was somewhat reluctant, but she also knew that if Tenon was really carrying out some plan that was related to the interests of the class, she would instantly become the class's public enemy if she accidentally disrupted it. So even though Sato really wanted to go to the confession scene, she could only force herself to restrain herself.

Meanwhile, Amane successfully followed Ayanokouji to the agreed-upon location.

However, saying that he followed Amane is basically the same as openly following Ayanokouji all the way. As long as Ayanokouji's eyesight is not bad, there is no way he would not be able to find Amane.

However, even though he knew that Amane was following him, Ayanokouji chose to turn a blind eye. After all, he had just asked Amane to have Ichinose stop Sato, so Amane could follow if she wanted.

Anyway, Ayanokouji didn't plan to say much to that girl—this was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's thought before meeting "Yuki".

"Kiyotaka, I knew you would come."

Ayanokouji frowned slightly as he looked at the girl in front of him who greeted him as if they were old acquaintances.
