Tianyin licked her lips, and when she found them a little dry, she pulled Hui over to ask her to do her a small favor.

"Thanks for your help!"

"Huh? Wait a minute, Amane, why did you launch a surprise attack?! That's so unfair! And what's wrong with Nanase...?"

Megumi was caught off guard by the sudden French kiss. By the time she realized what was happening, Amane had already ended the kiss. Megumi was both embarrassed and surprised. She was about to complain a few more times when she noticed Nanase looking at them with disgust. She also noticed that something was wrong with Nanase and couldn't help but ask Amane what was going on.

"It's okay, Hui, you go to sleep first. I'll handle this."

"Senior! You already have a girl you like, yet you still did this to me. Don't you feel guilty? Hui is right here watching! She'll be heartbroken!"

When Nanase saw that Amane was about to attack her again, she quickly scolded Amane loudly, trying to awaken Amane's conscience.

Unfortunately, Tianyin reserved her tenderness for only one person.

"Ahem, well, let me interject: I'm not sad."

Megumi raised her small hand, interrupting Nanase's slightly indignant atmosphere.

This made Nanase raise an eyebrow. She couldn't understand why Megumi could remain unmoved and unsettled by Amane's behavior. Aren't all lovers supposed to be unable to tolerate their partner's betrayal? What's wrong with Amane? Why doesn't this work on her?

Tianyin waved to Hui, urging her to go back to sleep, and then officially began her work, making the exquisite piano beside her continue to play beautiful sounds. A new piece began, and the beautiful music once again echoed in the room. Tianyin's elegant fingers moved quickly on the keys, and each press of the piano produced a sound that made people's blood boil. As the pitch gradually rose, Tianyin also began to enter a state of complete absorption in her performance. Her finger speed, which was so fast that it was like a blur, could shock even professional players.

In this state, Nanase had never experienced anything so exciting before, and she immediately begged for mercy.

"Please, senior, just let me go this time..."

"What? Weren't you just going to lecture me? You can't even handle this much? What are you going to do when there's something even more exciting coming up?"

"Even more exciting..."

Nanase's face turned deathly pale instantly as she saw Amane extend her slender fingers.

"That's right, and even more exciting, but before that, let me ask you a question: what is the meaning of your existence? To become Nanase Tsubasa's violent device? Or are you just a pitiful subconscious being with the name Matsuo Eiichiro? Who are you? Do you even truly exist?"

Amane asked a question that Nanase, in her Matsuo form, had never considered before: What is the meaning of her existence? Who is she? Does she truly exist?

For a moment, Matsuo fell into deep thought. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Amane began her performance. Although her personality had switched to Matsuo's state, her body could not be changed. Amane did not care who was in her arms, because her purpose from beginning to end was only one: to satisfy her own desires.

As for whether Nanase likes her or can accept her, that's Nanase's business. All Amane can do is give every girl equal love, but whether or not she responds is not something Amane can decide.

She, Miyako Amane, is not a good person or a saint.

As Amane's performance reached its peak, Nanase, who was playing along, finally couldn't help but sing along. Her instinctive singing stimulated every cell in Amane's body, and the surge of adrenaline made Amane's playing speed reach an unprecedented peak.

As a singer, Nanase had never experienced such intense chanting before. At first, she could still chant with rhythm and melody, but in the end, she could only produce almost single syllables.

Amane easily broke through Nanase's last line of defense, both psychologically and physically, thanks to her highly skilled technique.

But just when they were about to succeed, Tianyin stopped.

"Now you have an answer, right?"

"I……"

What is your purpose in existing?

"I did it... to protect Yi..."

Nanase's weak voice came from Amane's arms, and Amane couldn't help but smile upon hearing this answer.

"I knew it would be like this, but Nanase Tsubasa doesn't need you anymore now, you can disappear."

"No! She...she still needs me!!"

Tenon's words pierced Nanase's chest like a sharp thorn. Nanase, not knowing where the strength came from, suddenly turned around and slapped Tenon.

"Your angle of attack is quite good, it's clear you've practiced a lot, but unfortunately, with your level of effort, it's useless against me. If you can't protect Yi, you should pack your bags and get out of her body."

Amane suddenly grabbed Nanase by the throat, the touching tenderness in her eyes seemed to be frozen in an instant, all her emotions were frozen in that moment, and then slowly dissipated.

That exaggerated, slightly flamboyant smile faded from Tianyin's face like a receding tide.

Amane appeared before Nanase in her most authentic form.

The moment Nanase saw the most authentic Amane, her body began to tremble uncontrollably. The personality that had been formed through self-suggestion was essentially just a tool for Nanase to escape the fact that Matsuo was dead.

She would rather believe that the deceased Matsuo would protect her than believe that she herself had worked hard to become much stronger than ordinary people. It seems that this Matsuo had a great influence on Nanase.

However, after today, Nanase will no longer have such worries.

Because she will have another, more reliable person to protect her.

"I...I will protect her!"

Even with Amane gripping her throat with one hand, Nanase still tried to struggle. Realizing that the blow she had dealt to her wasn't severe enough, Amane simply pressed Nanase back onto the bed.

"You want to protect her, right?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Then I'll take her right in front of you."

"You! You bastard! Why? Why are you bullying Yi like this? Yi and I have never provoked you!"

After realizing what Amane was trying to do, Nanase started twisting her body like a madwoman, trying to break free from Amane's grip.

However, in her true state, Amane didn't need to act out any pain. She just stared coldly at Nanase in her hands, and Nanase's frantic punches and kicks didn't bother Amane at all.

After resisting for a while, Nanase realized that her attacks had been completely ineffective during her duel with Amane that night, because Amane didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

After realizing that her struggles were futile, Nanase gave up resisting.

"I cannot disappear on my own. I was created by Yi. Only Yi knows the way to make me disappear."

Even now, Nanase still believes that Amane treats her so roughly because she dislikes Matsuo's personality.

As everyone knows...

"It seems you've misunderstood something. The reason I'm treating you this way is simply because you tried to attack me when we first met, nothing more. If it weren't for the fact that I had to harm Nanase Tsubasa's body to hurt you, you would be dead by now."

Amane can be considered quite vengeful to some extent. Nanase deliberately approached her and then used the personality of Matsuo to launch a sneak attack on her. Fortunately, Amane reacted quickly; otherwise, someone else would have been bedridden for at least ten days to half a month. According to the information provided by Hayasaka afterward.

Nanase may have mistaken Amane for an enemy due to a misunderstanding. Although Amane was unhappy with Nanase's reckless behavior, she eventually forgave Nanase after Amane took advantage of her quite a bit.

Although Matsuo is just one of Nanase's personalities, she can sense that this personality has independent thoughts. In other words, it is actually this personality that wants to kill her. Qiu Tianyin has kept this in mind all along and waited until today.

The game I played with Nanase earlier was also meant to provoke this personality to appear. Now that we've achieved that, it's time for punishment.

"You still remember that kind of thing? Fine, as long as you don't hurt Yi, I'll do whatever you want with you."

Nanase, the persona of Matsuo, is considerably more cunning than the real Nanase.

She already knew why Amane was targeting her, and she also knew that Amane wouldn't really harm Nanase's body, so what did she have to be afraid of? Even if she put it in a more respectable way, there was no problem.

Anyway, since she was injured, Nanase would be injured too. She wanted to see what other ways Amane could deal with her. As for the performance just now... well, it was Nanase's body that was being used. She could vaguely sense that Nanase, hiding behind her personality, was quite enjoying Amane's performance. In that case, Nanase, the Matsuo personality, wasn't really afraid of Amane's revenge.

Instead, they were somewhat eagerly anticipating Tianyin's revenge.

"Hmph, keep your little schemes to yourself, or you'll be begging me to stop."

"Anyone can talk big, but do you think you can punish me without harming this body?! Ah!!!"

Amane's penetrating attack made Nanase's gaze soften considerably.

"Eh? Senior Tianyin, where are you... Waaaaah!"

"No! Don't kiss me! You scum! Get rid of me!"

"Fingers..."

Seeing Nanase's constantly changing expression, Amane knew that she had made the right bet.

How dare a personality created from mere self-suggestion be so arrogant towards her, since her purpose in being born was to protect Nanase?

Amane insisted on discussing life with the real Nanase in front of her. Amane wanted to see who could last longer, this personality named Matsuo or Nanase.

Just as Amane and Nanase's two personalities were locked in a fierce struggle, Megumi was completely dumbfounded.

Completely bewildered, she looked at Nanase, who seemed to be having a split personality, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

'I never imagined that role-playing alone wouldn't satisfy Tianyin; she's actually going for real!!!'

Chapter 200: Can we kiss now?

In the morning, Nanase was awakened from her sleep by a strange sound. As soon as she opened her still groggy eyes, a sharp pain emanating from her whole body caused Nanase's face to contort instantly. Although Nanase tried her best to grit her teeth and endure it, the sudden pain did not give her even the slightest time to react.

"It hurts……"

Nanase couldn't help but speak in a tearful voice.

The next second, the strange sound suddenly stopped, and what came into her view was Tianyin, whose forehead was covered in sweat. The way she was drenched in sweat made it seem as if Tianyin had done a lot of physical training early in the morning.

However, the reality is not far off.

"Good morning~ Yi is finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, I would have had to urgently contact the medical staff."

While patting her chest with lingering fear, Amane began to check on Nanase's physical condition. When Amane discovered that Nanase's brows were furrowed in pain from just a slight touch, she couldn't help but scratch her head awkwardly.

Yesterday, I did not control my strength well because of a sudden impulse, but Nanase's mental state seems to be good, which means that she should not be affected by what happened yesterday. Thinking of this, Amane also showed a relieved smile.

"Good morning, Miyako-senpai..."

Nanase was startled by Amane's enthusiastic greeting and timidly responded to Amane's greeting.

"Miyako-senpai? Eh? Tsubasa, if I remember correctly, didn't you change your address last night? Or... have you forgotten what happened last night?"

Amane smiled and gently poked Nanase's forehead with her finger.

"Yesterday? I... forgot something?"

Nanase's confused gaze, which had been covering her forehead, suddenly cleared up.

Yesterday's embarrassing scenes kept flooding into her mind.

"Stop! Let go of Nanase right now!!"

That heart-wrenching scream seemed to pierce through the souls of people. Nanase saw it; the one screaming was herself, or more accurately, it was her, named 'Matsuo Eiichiro'.

As if feeling the same way, Nanase subconsciously placed her hand on Matsuo's chest, trying to communicate with him, or even call out to him. But no matter how she called out, the figure who had once vowed to protect her forever did not appear.

As if realizing something, Nanase's eyes began to well up with tears, and scenes of her past with Matsuo flashed before her eyes like a fleeting glimpse.

But unlike other memories, most of these fragments begin to fade, turning into a flickering, blurry screen like an old television.

Nanase's rosy cheeks quickly lost their color, and no one knew better than her what this meant.

It means he left, and it also means she forgot.

She forgot most of the sweet moments she spent with Matsuo, memories that were incredibly important to her. Why did she forget them all after just one night of unconsciousness?

unless.

These experiences and 'memories' are fictional. Matsuo does exist, but he is several years older than me. How could we possibly study, play, live, and enjoy all the beauty of this world together?

The logical flaws in this episode are obvious, but Nanase never doubted that these events were actually fabricated memories.

The so-called childhood friends are nothing more than a precious friendship formed in childhood. When Nanase entered junior high school, that seed of friendship gradually began to sprout.

Meanwhile, Matsuo had already gone to another city to attend high school, and the two could only communicate through chat software. Therefore, with enough care, it was easy to determine which memories were invalid, disordered, or false simply by looking at the chronological order of their recollections...

After being nurtured day by day, the seed began to sprout and gradually grew branches. It seemed that as long as they continued to cultivate it carefully, the relationship between the two would blossom and bear fruit. However, things did not go as planned. Matsuo was accidentally involved in Ayanokoji Atsuomi's plan and was eventually easily wiped off the face of the earth.

The reports about Matsuo's death attempted to erase the incident by simply stating that it was a car accident.

After learning of Matsuo's death, Nanase suffered a mental breakdown, but when she woke up the next day, Matsuo had already become one with her, or more accurately, was born.

Nanase was overjoyed when she discovered that she could actually sense Matsuo.

Although she couldn't understand or communicate with Matsuo, Nanase was very certain that Matsuo existed and wasn't just a figment of her imagination.

However, Nanase, who was so engrossed in finally being able to communicate with Matsuo again, was completely unaware that she should first try to doubt or verify how real this Matsuo who was born from Nanase's body really was. The reason for this situation was that the Matsuo that Nanase could perceive was almost exactly the same as the one in her memory. In this way, Nanase's mentally broken mind took advantage of the situation and became the perfect Matsuo Eiichiro in Nanase's memory.

It was at this time that Nanase began to investigate the truth behind Matsuo's death. She even took a leave of absence from school to embark on a journey to find out the truth about Matsuo's murder.

Perhaps it was because of her good luck, or perhaps it was a coincidence, but Nanase was holding onto the chat logs left by Matsuo before his death, trying her best to find some clues about Matsuo's mysterious death or any valuable information.

Faced with this almost impossible task, everyone around Nanase fell into despair, leaving only Nanase to continue persisting in this endeavor. However, Nanase seems to have always been very lucky since childhood, and by a twist of fate, she unexpectedly arrived in the city where the White House is located.

Her primary purpose in coming here was to find Matsuo's father.

According to some things Nanase and Matsuo mentioned during their conversation, Matsuo's father had a respectable job as a butler in the city.

Matsuo's father, Nanase, had also met him; he was a rather kind-looking middle-aged man.

Nanase was certain that Matsuo's father would not pretend nothing had happened or turn a blind eye to Matsuo's mysterious death. She knew that Matsuo's father had a son late in life and wanted to cherish him like a precious gem. Would such a man really do nothing after his son was killed?

Obviously, that's impossible, so as long as you have patience, there must be a last resort!
