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

Seeing that Amane was stammering and didn't give her an answer, Asahina also felt that it seemed a bit strange for her to ask, so she took the initiative to provide Amane with two options.

"Sorry, I was a bit too abrupt with my question. Let me rephrase it: Tianyin, do you want to kiss me because you like me, or are you just trying to satisfy your lust?"

"Of course it's because I like Senior Sister Qi."

Upon hearing the answer, Tianyin immediately replied without hesitation.

Are you kidding me? This question seems like a choice between two options, but anyone with a normal brain can guess what the consequences of choosing the second option will be, right?

Amane couldn't even imagine touching Asahina's face and telling her, "I'm only kissing you to satisfy my lust," such an absurd statement.

"Do you...do you like it?"

Asahina's face first showed a hint of joy, then her brows furrowed, and she unconsciously bit her lip as if she was making a difficult decision.

Before Asahina could make any decision, she began to cry and laugh silently, her facial expressions constantly changing, which terrified Amane, who was standing nearby.

"Are you alright, senior?"

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now, Tianyin!"

When Asahina mentioned the name Amane, her gaze was unusually resolute and firm.

"Senior, you..."

"I've made up my mind! Tonight... well... please... take... mine... my first time."

At first, Asahina looked very determined, but her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke. After she finished speaking, she sat there motionless, like a ripe apple.

At the same time, Tianyin was also shocked and her eyes widened.

She couldn't understand why Asahina would suddenly ask her for something like this.

"Senior Qi? Are you serious? Why would you suddenly say something like that? Are you really okay?"

Asahina's words had such great power that with just one sentence, Amane had to ask multiple questions to confirm Asahina's mental state at that moment.

"I know that what I'm doing might bother you, Tianyin. Actually, I feel a little ashamed of what I'm doing... But this decision is the result of careful consideration. It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, and I didn't have any bad intentions towards you. If I had to put it... it's just my way of making amends to you."

"compensate?"

Amane was even more confused. To be honest, it was not certain who would compensate whom. How could Asahina come up with such an incomprehensible compensation that would be hard for anyone to understand?

"That's right, it's compensation! ~ Tianyin, do you remember that night we met in the dormitory in the woods?"

Tianyin blinked and then nodded.

In this situation, you have to say you remember, whether you remember or not, otherwise the current atmosphere will be completely ruined.

"The reason I went to find you in the first place was because Nan Yun chose to drop out of school. I couldn't accept that he, who came to this school with me and was practically my childhood friend, would be forced by a first-year student to drop out to escape public opinion. I know very well that dropping out was Nan Yun's own decision and had nothing to do with you. Nan Yun just felt that losing to you was too shameful, and the school was willing to provide a letter of recommendation in exchange for him using this method to quell public opinion about the Gaoyu Student Council."

In fact, this was the first time Tianyin had heard that the school had actually pushed for Nanyun's withdrawal from school.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone like Nagumo, a leader of his grade and the prospective president of the student council, would not give up everything for the sake of mere public opinion unless there were huge benefits to be had.

"The reason I blamed you was simply to find a way to vent my anger. Even though I took my anger out on you, you weren't angry at the time, Tianyin... and you were still willing to be my friend... I am really grateful to you, Tianyin. If it weren't for you, I might never have been able to get over the shadow of losing my best friend and being abandoned by the classmates who used to surround me."

Asahina leaned her head slightly closer to Amane and then kissed Amane's cheek.

"This is my apology for being blinded by anger back then."

"Later, you confessed to me in the student council. Although it was rushed, I know that you must have mustered up your courage, but unfortunately... I haven't reached the level of 'liking' you yet, so I let you down."

Asahina's tone gradually became dejected.

"I've thought about it for a long time since then, and I realized that it was really wrong of me to treat your feelings with an evasive attitude. So I've always hoped that one day I could talk everything out with you. But today, even though I have this opportunity, I don't know how to start. Please allow me to apologize to you again, Tianyin. My family would never allow me to date a girl, and I also can't approve of dating women for the time being. So I can only make up for my feelings for you in this way. From now on... let's just be friends, okay?"

Asahina gently cupped Amane's face, unaware of the strange look deep in Amane's eyes.

Admittedly, Asahina's rejection was very gentle and touching; if it were Megumi, she might have cried her eyes out.

But who is Tianyin?

A person who is so indifferent that they can disregard the lives of others will not empathize with other people's stories.

On the contrary, Tianyin appeared incredibly calm, especially during times like these.

She had just sensed something unusual behind Asahina's story.

"Senior Qi, someone who can't accept dating women is willing to let someone take her virginity... Don't you think that even as compensation, it's a bit too much? If, I mean if, is there any possibility that you're trying to prove that you're useful in this way? Even if it's just physical usefulness?"

Chapter 62: You're Not Allowed to Touch Me!

"Tianyin, why do you think that way? If I just want to prove myself, there are many ways I can do it. I don't need to use a method that doesn't make sense from any logical standpoint, do I?"

Asahina forced a smile, trying to allay Tenon's concerns.

"Oh dear, I think you're just being too suspicious, Tianyin. I simply wanted to make up for what you did for me before. If you think I have any ulterior motives... Tianyin, you can choose to refuse. But if that happens... I'll never have the courage to see you again after saying something so shameless to a junior and being rejected by him. From now on, our relationship will end here. Tianyin, do you understand what I mean?"

Amane completely understood what Asahina meant. It was like a girl asking another girl for something and then being rejected, no matter what the reason was.

Their relationship would come to an abrupt end. In other words, since Asahina and Amane are not in the same class, they won't encounter the more awkward situation of seeing each other all the time. If they were in the same class, and Amane rejected Asahina's request, Asahina would have almost no other choice but to drop out of school.

Even if Amane could pretend that nothing happened tonight, Asahina couldn't get over her own conscience.

Therefore, what Asahina said was entirely true. She did not threaten to sever the current friendly relationship with Amane. Rather, the reality was that once Amane refused, no matter how much intimacy the two of them pretended to be, they could never go back to the way things were before.

Just like an arrow released from a bow, whether it hits the target or misses, the arrow has still been shot. No matter how you correct the trajectory of the arrow to make the result perfect or how amazing the result is, it cannot change the fact that the arrow has already been shot.

'It's no longer a question of right or wrong, or acceptance or rejection.'

Tianyin fell into a brief moment of thought.

Admittedly, Asahina's words were somewhat difficult for Amane to accept at first, and she couldn't imagine or apply them to Asahina's own understanding.

However, one thing is undeniable: Asahina has her own logic, and from her logic, one can deduce results that conform to common sense.

This made even Tianyin doubt her own judgment.

The reason she believed that the so-called compensation was nothing more than Asahina's morbid desire to prove herself was actually her intuition.

That's right, Amane has no evidence to prove that Asahina is the kind of morbid and extreme girl, and such behavior is also inconsistent with the image that Asahina presents to Amane.

To conclude that Asahina is the kind of girl who doesn't care who she has relationships with without any evidence is rather arbitrary.

"It's getting late, Tianyin, you should give me your answer now."

Asahina lay back on the bed, then unbuttoned her pajamas and slightly parted her legs. With her eyes closed, Asahina seemed to be smiling, as if she was ready.

Seeing that Asahina had made up her mind, Amane, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, couldn't help but feel her heart pound.

Looking down, the first thing that catches the eye is Asahina's face, which gives off a cute and innocent feeling. Then, the gaze moves away from her lips, which seem to exude heat just by looking at them, and follows her fair neck and well-defined collarbone all the way to her milky white breasts, which, although not very big, are something Asahina herself is very proud of.

Tianyin subconsciously looked away when she saw this.

The burning pain in her throat and abdomen was relentlessly eroding Tianyin's last shred of sanity.

'I wish I hadn't eaten so much nourishing food tonight.'

Feeling her whole body burning up, Tianyin began to secretly regret her actions. In this state, it was impossible for her to make the right choice...

Seemingly noticing that Amane was still hesitating, Asahina couldn't help but urge her on in order to hide her nervousness and unease.

"Although I'm not ready to be your partner yet, and I'm not sure if I can accept that my future lover will be a girl, but... you never know what the outcome will be until you take the first step, right? Right now, due to the education and beliefs I've been instilled with since childhood, I may not be able to accept you, Tianyin, either psychologically or physically. But! If you can change my mind about you with your actions..."

Asahina boldly grasped Amane's hand and then placed it on her chest.

"I might consider dating you, Tianyin, until I graduate."

Asahina played his last card.

If Tianyin agrees to her request tonight, she is willing to try being in a relationship with Tianyin as lovers for a year, until she graduates.

It can be said that Asahina has staked all the time he has left in Koyu as a gamble.

But no one knew what Asahina really wanted to get from the gambling table.

"Please promise me."

As Asahina's ambiguous voice rang in my ears.

With a bang.

Tianyin's last thread of reason snapped completely!

"Senior!"

"Hmm~ I... I don't have any experience in this area yet, so I'll leave the rest to you, Amane. Do whatever you like, and I won't blame you even if you do something a little excessive~"

"Senior!!"

Amane pinned Asahina down on the bed.

"It hurts! Wait... Tianyin? You... Ugh..."

Asahina, who was lying on the bed, wanted to say a few words to ease her tension, but Amane rudely interrupted her.

Realizing something was wrong, Asahina hurriedly tried to stop Amane, but she was completely overwhelmed by Amane's offensive. All sorts of strange and different sensations throughout her body caused Asahina's brain to lose its ability to think. Seeing that she could not maintain a clear mind, Asahina simply let Amane do whatever she wanted.

After Asahina completely gave up thinking and resistance, he instinctively went along with the hunting-like attacks of the Amane lion.

If Asahina had remained conscious, she would surely have noticed that Amane's eyes, which were quite beautiful even in the darkness, were now filled with terrifying red blood vessels, a sight that would send shivers down one's spine.

Just as Tianyin was about to devour her prey, her phone suddenly beeped.

Tenon, who was gripping Naibai Xuezi's hand which was working hard, suddenly stopped for a moment.

Tianyin glanced at her phone with an almost frantic look, suppressing the urge to vent her emotions. She picked up her phone and looked at it.

It turned out that someone else had sent her the message.

"Tianyin~ Stop looking at your phone, look at me! Shall we continue?"

Having calmed down a bit, Asahina, who was starting to enjoy the taste, didn't care that she was covered in sweat. She hugged Amane, who was sitting up, and whispered sweet nothings in Amane's ear.

However, Tianyin did not respond to the passionate senior student at this moment.

Tianyin stared blankly at the background picture on her phone. It was a photo that Tianyin insisted on taking with Lingyin under the cherry blossom tree this year to celebrate the first anniversary of her meeting with Lingyin.

It's a photo that has some commemorative significance.

Looking at the photo of Horikita, who looked embarrassed and shy when forced to make a peace sign by Tenon, Tenon felt a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Heavenly Sound?"

Asahina felt Amane tighten her grip on her waist, and in pain, she couldn't help but look at Amane with a puzzled expression.

Tianyin opened the message again.

The person who messaged her wasn't Horikita, but Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi said that it had been so long since the first year of school, and she had only met Masahiko once. She said that tomorrow she would ask Amane to bring Masahiko to her dormitory, and she would cook a nice meal for Amane and Masahiko so that the three of them could have a good get-together.

Then she specifically asked Tianyin to cancel her activities with other girls the next night and stay at her place.

Amane looked at Sakayanagi's profile picture and felt it looked familiar. It was also a little girl with white hair, purple eyes, and a very cold expression.

She looked to be only five or six years old. Because it was a small image, Amane mistook it for a picture of Sakayanagi when she was a child and clicked on Sakayanagi's profile picture.

But to her surprise, the moment she clicked on Sakayanagi's profile picture, she immediately recalled what had happened that afternoon.

"Tianyin! Look here! Look here!! I brought my camera with me today! Let's take a picture together!"

"No."

"Huh? Humph! I had to talk to my father for ages before he allowed me to bring the camera out. It's just for taking one picture. Tianyin, you're such a spoilsport!"

“I don’t recall having any good relationship with you. Call me Miss Miyako or Miss Amane here... or people will gossip about you.”

"Yes, yes, Miss Miyako, may I take a picture with you?"

Sakayanagi thought she had been accommodating Amane to such an extent, but to her surprise, Amane thought about it for a moment and then shook her head.

"It still doesn't work."

Amane's answer infuriated Sakayanagi, who raised the small cane beside her, intending to give Amane a good whack on the head.

However, considering the slight difference in combat strength between the two sides, Sakayanagi had no choice but to abandon the plan.

"Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. You can just be your Miss Miyako."

Are you angry?

"I won't get angry at you, you idiot! Not now! Not ever!! Humph!!!"

Seeing that Sakayanagi was clearly sulking, Amane hesitated for a long time before deciding to explain to him.

Although, given her status, there was absolutely no need for her to explain such a thing.
