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

Upon hearing this, Tianyin immediately stopped what she was doing.

This school must have some serious problem. What does it mean to have fewer than two defenders? Isn't that the same as wiping out the entire opposing team?

However, with Tianyin's strength, wiping out an entire class wouldn't be too much of a problem... it's still a barely acceptable condition.

"If that's all there is to it, it's no problem for me!"

"Don't stop. I know that if it's just this level of difficulty, with your strength, it's only a matter of time before you win the special exam, but... what if the opponent's attack method is ranged?"

Sakayanagi reached out and put his arm around Amane's neck, then gently tapped the tip of Amane's nose with his finger.

"Remote testing? Isn't the school worried about injuries? And Chairman Fujiwara wouldn't allow such a dangerous special testing method, would he?"

There are many types of long-range weapons. Although firefighters are unlikely to be so reckless as to allow the use of firearms, if long-range attacks were permitted, then stones would become the most effective attack method.

Never underestimate the power of stones, especially since the exam is held in a mountainous area. Each class is stationed high on a hilltop, meaning that capturing a stronghold requires an uphill attack. If dozens of people on the other side throw stones at the same time, Tianyin wouldn't be surprised if someone gets hit and killed.

Therefore, Tianyin could not understand the school's intention in doing this.

"Idiot, if there were really any danger, how could I have passed the school's exam? The so-called long-range weapon refers to Easter eggs. Everyone will wear protective equipment, but if you are hit by an Easter egg, you will be eliminated depending on the location. However, even if it is not a vital spot, being hit three times will result in immediate elimination. In addition to shooting with an air gun, you can also throw it by hand. So, even if you are Amane, you can't possibly survive an Easter egg rain, right?"

Sakayanagi looked up, about to tease Amane again, but saw Amane's serious expression.

"That's not necessarily true."

"Huh? Even Tianyin, you..."

"Hehe, I was just kidding. If there really were no limit to the number of Easter eggs, even if an ordinary person threw them around randomly, I wouldn't be able to keep them intact."

After Tianyin finished speaking, her ears twitched slightly and quickly.

She wanted to extract what she considered crucial information from Sakayanagi: whether the so-called Easter eggs were available in unlimited quantities.

"How could we possibly throw them away randomly? Each grade has a shared set of exam points. Although the Easter eggs are very cheap, considering that they are consumables, it's impossible to spend all the points on them."

This is it!

As long as her personal movements aren't completely restricted, Amane isn't afraid of this special exam. If she hadn't come to Sakayanagi today, she might have foolishly waited until the day before the special exam to learn this important information.

"It's all thanks to Arisu, otherwise..."

"Don't thank me yet, I'm not telling you all this for free."

coming.

"So, Arisu, what do you want? If you want me... I might be able to..."

"Hmph, you wish."

Sakayanagi rolled her eyes at Amane, who was putting on a shy expression.

"That's Arisu..."

"Bring Tianze back tomorrow so I can give him my opinion."

"No problem, I'll bring Tianze tomorrow... Huh?!"

Chapter 75: Amasawa and Sakayanagi

"Senior~ Aha~ I didn't expect that you would not spend your last day off before the training camp playing naughty games with your girlfriends, but instead come to my place. Could it be... that you still like me a little more after all?"

With a delighted expression, Tianze leaned close to Tianyin's ear and began to tease her with a hint of malice.

"Well... it's a bit complicated to explain."

Tianyin didn't know how to explain why she would appear at Tianze's room door so early in the morning.

Moreover, the strong scent of rose-scented shampoo emanating from Tianze indicated that he had just taken a shower. His sudden visit at this time, without prior notice, seemed like it was timed perfectly...

"Complex? So, you mean, senpai, you're not just here to see me, but also thinking about...doing something with me?"

Tianze deliberately leaned against the shoe cabinet by the door. His bathrobe, which had been worn quite properly, had somehow been unbuckled at the waist. As Tianze swayed his body, one side of the bathrobe slipped off his fair shoulder.

For a moment, Tianze's entire left shoulder was exposed to the air. Whether by coincidence or design, the bathrobe was positioned just a step away from arousing desire.

Even Tianyin, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but look at Tianze's barely visible chest.

"I didn't have that kind of idea. I came here mainly to ask you for a favor, Tianze."

When Tianze heard this answer, he initially thought that Tianyin was pretending to be serious. However, he could not see any flame of desire in Tianyin's eyes, and coupled with Tianyin's expressionless face, Tianze was now more likely to believe that Tianyin had other matters to discuss with her.

However, Tianze did not give up on his idea of ​​continuing to tease Tianyin.

Asking for help is just a nice way of saying it; to put it bluntly, it means asking someone for a favor. If Tianze were to communicate with Tianyin in the usual humble manner of a master and servant, Tianyin would definitely sense that Tianze was putting her in a weak position and would then use an overbearing command to make her do what Tianyin wanted.

However, if a strong approach to communication is adopted from the very beginning, Tianyin will naturally feel that it will require some price to be paid in order to appease Tianze.

As long as Tianyin has this idea, Tianze is confident that he can make Tianyin accept him as her lover.

Surely no one would refuse a toy that's been delivered to their door?

Tianze has already positioned himself as a toy manufacturer. It might not sound good, but only Tianze truly understands that a good positioning can solve many unnecessary problems.

As long as she doesn't insist on staying by Tianyin's side or being his 'only' lover, based on her observation and understanding of Tianyin, Tianyin will most likely not refuse to exchange the title of lover for a useful and fun toy.

Once she has a legitimate title, she can secretly use various means to instigate infighting among Tianyin's girlfriends. Her role is that of a toy. After all, even the most fun toy will be put aside once the novelty wears off. Then, when everyone is exhausted from fighting each other, she can let Tianyin experience her kindness... Hmph, winning over the senior will be a piece of cake.

Having come to terms with the reality that it's impossible for Tianyin to drop out of school, Tianze has realized that she only has two options: either graduate from here without the support of the White House and then either go on to higher education or find someone to marry. This is the most common choice for ordinary female high school students.

As for employment?

Although Tianze believed that her intelligence and physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, she couldn't bear the hardship of working after experiencing near-death experiences countless times, so employment was immediately ruled out as an option.

So the remaining option is...

Surprisingly, the choice Amasawa faced at this moment overlapped with the choice Ichinose encountered.

Tianze, who sees Tianyin as his protector, naturally wouldn't let her go. In addition, Tianze believes that she meets all of Tianyin's needs. Whether it's personality, figure, or appearance, she is one of the best among girls.

As for whether Tianyin would approve of it? How could she not!

If you don't like her, why would you even think about disciplining her?

So from the moment Tianyin appeared in front of her today, Tianze was scheming about how to gain her lover's approval.

If she could, she wouldn't want to sell her body, since it was her last trump card, and she didn't want to play it so cheaply.

"Are you asking me for a favor? It's not like it's... Anyway, senpai, please come in first. I'll be so embarrassed if anyone hears any strange noises~"

Tianze casually pulled up the part of his pajamas that had slipped down, making himself look more serious, and then slightly turned aside to let Tianyin into the dormitory.

"Yeah, it's easier to talk about it in the dorm."

After all, it was a task assigned by Sakayanagi, and Amane couldn't just do it half-heartedly. Today, she had to bring Amane to meet Sakayanagi no matter what. But even though Amane and Sakayanagi were only two floors apart, Amane still hadn't figured out how to explain to Amane why Sakayanagi suddenly wanted to see her.

The moment Tianze watched Tianyin step through the door, a triumphant smile flashed across his face.

Now that they're all inside, how could she let Tianyin escape?

"What would you like to drink, senior? Juice? Milk? Or cocoa? I have tea here, but I only have black tea."

Tianze rattled off all of Tianyin's favorite drinks as if they were his own.

You have to understand that this kind of information is not something that the White House can collect. The reason why she knows so much about Tianyin's tastes and hobbies is that she learned it all from Tianyin herself and her close friends by following her and getting information out of her.

For example, she knew that Amane's favorite juice was tomato juice when she saw Horikita buying it from a vending machine in the lobby of the dormitory building.

The reason it was called a "purchase" was because Horikita had bought all the tomato juice from the vending machine at once. Amazawa pretended to be curious and went up to her to get information. After learning the name of the drink and that it wasn't a drink that Horikita herself liked, Amazawa easily figured out Amane's drink preferences.

After figuring out when the vending machines would restock, Tianze successfully stocked up on a lot of tomato juice, just to make sure that he and Tianyin seemed to have common interests and topics to talk about.

Moreover, Tianze sees this as a bonus for lovers; once lovers share common interests, their relationship will quickly heat up.

As for Horikita's public statement that he still couldn't get used to the taste after drinking it for a year, Tianze thought it was the most foolish declaration. If he couldn't even accept the drink that the person he liked loved, how could he expect the two of them to have anything in common?

Judging from the fact that Tianyin would most likely want to drink juice, Tianze deliberately put several of the girls' favorite drinks together to cover up his true intentions.

Tianze also used some clever ways of speaking. Tianyin came here to ask for a favor, which meant that things were urgent. Under such circumstances, whether it was milk or cocoa, she had to wait for him to boil water first. This was a slightly troublesome request. Normally, when people visit, they would not ask the host to boil water to make drinks, unless it was for tea.

Normally, Tianyin might choose to drink tea, but Tianze considered that Tianyin might say something like "No need to go to so much trouble" when he asked her what she wanted to drink. In that case, he could simply offer her some ready-made chilled tomato juice.

However, barley tea is also very popular among girls. Although she could use the excuse of not having any to get by, if she couldn't satisfy the other person's needs when she invited them for a drink for the first time, the conversation would be difficult to proceed smoothly. After all, as the host, Tianze would feel somewhat inadequate in his hospitality if he couldn't meet the guest's needs.

This could put Tianyin in a difficult position during negotiations, but if she actually prepares barley tea, Tianyin might not accept the juice option, thus negating her coincidence.

Therefore, Tianze deliberately said from the beginning that only black tea was available. This meant that cocoa, milk, and black tea all required the host to boil water to serve the guests, making them 'troublesome' options.

Fruit juice is the easiest option and also the one that won't taste too bad.

It means that Tianze cleverly used rhetoric to reduce the answer to just one.

While still asking Tianyin what she wanted to drink, Tianze had already gotten up and was about to open the refrigerator to get some chilled tomato juice.

To her utter surprise, Tianyin caught her completely off guard.

"Ordinary water is fine."

"Water? It feels a bit impolite to just serve water to my senior. I have some chilled juice here, senior, please take a look..."

Tianyin's answer was completely unexpected by Tianze, and he suddenly became nervous. If his plan to use coincidence to get closer to Tianyin at the beginning failed, then the following conversation would be difficult to handle...

"No need for that complicated process, water will suffice."

Hearing Tianyin's firm tone, Tianze's expression began to become quite interesting.

Just as she had predicted, Tianyin said, "There's no need for such trouble." But why was what happened next completely different from what had been planned?

Is this still part of her plan?

Tianze, somewhat suspicious, brought over a glass of water and handed it to Tianyin.

"Let me start by telling you what I need to ask of you this time, Ichika."

After Tianyin took the water, she placed it directly on the table, which shows that what she said earlier was just a polite gesture, and that she had no intention of drinking anything at all.

Seeing Tianyin's intention to get straight to the point, Tianze, who was prepared for a fight, began to feel a stomachache.

Did she experience this familiar feeling somewhere before?

"Senior, you can tell me first, but let me make it clear first, I can't guarantee that I can fulfill your request!"

Tianze had prepared a backup plan in advance. For Tianyin to be so anxious and completely disregard negotiation tactics, it was probably not something that could be done easily. If she made too many promises and ultimately failed to deliver, the impression she left on Tianyin would be greatly diminished.

"Ichika, you don't need to doubt it, only you can do this!!!"

Only she can do it?

Upon hearing this, Tianze's heart immediately jumped.

How difficult would this matter have to be for Amane to say something like that? It couldn't possibly be asking her to assassinate Ayanokoji Atsuomi, could it?

Surely not?

Seeing Tianyin's increasingly serious expression, Tianze's forehead began to be covered in tiny beads of sweat. The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Given Amane's abilities and background, what problem in this school couldn't be solved without her intervention? But if Amane wanted to expel her and then use excuses like reporting to get close to Ayanokouji Atsuomi and assassinate him, then everything would make sense…

But this is too terrifying! She's barely even seen blood, and suddenly asking her to do a mission of this level is just too much...

Just as Tianze was about to be overwhelmed by the immense pressure he had imagined, Tianyin suddenly took a deep breath and then, as if she had made up her mind, spoke loudly to Tianze.

"Please, Ichika, come with me to see Arisu now!!!"

"Huh? Ah? Huh?!"

Tianze's expression changed several times in surprise at Tianyin's request, but finally settled on anger.

She had worried for so long that Tianyin was planning to send her to carry out an assassination, but she didn't expect it to be just meeting someone! What was there to be so afraid of!

"Sigh, next time, you can just say it directly, senior. Making it all mysterious made me think you were going to ask me to do some really difficult task. By the way, the name Arisu sounds familiar. Is she a second-year student?"

As Tianze spoke, he got up to change his clothes before going to visit the other party with Tianyin.

The sooner this kind of thing ends, the better. Anyway, with Tianyin around, the other party shouldn't dare to do anything to her.

"Huh? Don't you know Ichika?"

When Tianze asked who Arisu was, Tianyin was taken aback. If she remembered correctly, wasn't Tianze a member of the student council? How could he not even know Arisu? Tianze had spoken to Arisu back in the gymnasium.

"Me? How would I know her... But this name feels very familiar. What's her full name? If you tell me her surname, I might remember her."

For people outside the class, most people address them as "XX classmate," and few know their real names. Some people can't even remember the full names of their classmates, let alone people from other grades.

“Sakayanagi Arisu, you can’t possibly not recognize this name, Ichika. She’s the president of your student council.”

This is precisely what confuses Tianyin: the student council members don't know who the student council president is? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that simply stating this would result in immediate dismissal?

"Sakayanagi...President?"
