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

but……

The person holding that flag looks vaguely familiar.

"Ryuen-kun, isn't that girl Nanase Tsubasa from the first year?"

Shiina tilted her head and glanced at the strange combination that had appeared in front of her.

With her face flushed, Nanase carried her class flag, looking at Amane who was whispering secrets in Horikita's ear.

This scene gives people an indescribable sense of incongruity.

"Could this guy have... turned them to their side?"

After finishing speaking, Ryuen quickly shook his head. Even if Amane had a good relationship with the other party, it was absolutely impossible for the other party to be persuaded by other grades to switch sides during such an important special exam. The reason was simple: Nanase and Amane were not in the same grade. Even if Amane promised Nanase many benefits or even provided her with protection to avoid retaliation,

But what will happen to Nanase after Amane graduates? At that time, the current first-year students will probably be the first to settle scores with Nanase, so if Nanase has any sense, she shouldn't be persuaded to defect by Amane in a normal way.

Yes, only in the normal way.

"Hey, your name is Nanase, right?"

While Amane and Horikita were still entangled, Ryuen went directly to Nanase.

"Hmm? You're Ryuen Sho from Class C, Year 2. Is there anything I can help you with, Ryuen-senpai?"

The moment Nanase looked at Ryuen, her expression turned blank. The speed of her change surprised even Ryuen. Moreover, the aura that Nanase exuded was completely different from the happy expression she had just given off.

"What's the matter? You came to our second-grade camp carrying your class's flag, showing off and asking me what I want. If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't let you leave easily."

Ryuen snorted coldly, and Ishizaki and Ibuki blocked Nanase's retreat from the left and right.

Nanase merely glanced at the two of them, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.

"If I want to leave, those two can't stop me. Even if Senior Longyuan personally intervenes, it might not be enough."

Although Nanase was completely dominated by Amane both on the battlefield and in bed, it is undeniable that Nanase's strength was among the top tier even among first-year students.

Despite Baoquan's stern tone when ordering Nanase around, if Baoquan were to actually fight Nanase using sheer strength, he would have to exert all his power to barely defeat her. The reason Baoquan is the class leader is mainly because Nanase needs a fool to draw attention to her and protect her.

If you really want to win over Nanase, Ishizaki and Ibuki alone are far from enough.

"Tsubasa~ Could you come here for a moment?"

Yes!

Upon hearing Amane's call, Nanase returned to her blissful expression and snuggled up to Amane, following behind her like a little bird, leaving Ishizaki and Ibuki looking on in confusion.

"This……"

"Hmph, that guy Tianyin must have tricked another girl into coming back again! How despicable!"

Ibuki glared resentfully at Amane and Nanase before turning back to the camp.

Left with no other option, Ishizaki, after confirming that he was no longer needed, began to direct people to search for branches to start a fire.

"Hello, Horikita-senpai!"

Before Horikita could even speak, Nanase bowed deeply to her and asked her a question mark.

Faced with Nanase's respectful greeting, Horikita rolled her eyes at Amane before quickly bowing slightly in return.

"Good morning, Nanase-san. Although we are in different grades, we are not that far apart in age. Besides, I am not worthy of your respect."

"It's not what you think, Horikita-senpai. My respect for Horikita-senpai comes from hearing a lot about you from Amane-senpai. I sincerely respect you for setting such a lofty goal as soon as you entered the university, leading the class to become Class A, and ultimately making it a reality."

This makes me, also a student in Class D, very envious. If possible, I hope to learn more about class management and how to handle class affairs from Horikita-senpai. I also hope that Horikita-senpai will be generous with her guidance.

After speaking, Nanase bowed slightly again with a respectful expression.

This flawless opening easily won over Horikita.

Although everyone knows that Horikita was able to lead the class to Class A because Amane made tremendous efforts to bring about a qualitative transformation in Class D.

But who doesn't like to be praised?

"This is no problem at all. Xiaoyi, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I've prepared something delicious for you. Eat more and replenish your energy."

Horikita spoke gently to Nanase, then casually glared at Amane.

Amane stuck out her tongue and quickly looked up at the sky. How could she not know how Nanase was expending her energy?

Just as Tianyin was about to have a hearty meal to recover her strength, a resentful voice came from behind her.

"Heavenly Sound..."

P.S.: First of all, I want to say thank you all, lol. I updated too late yesterday and posted the chapter to my drafts. I only realized this serious problem when I saw the comments!

There will be a regular update later, and an extra chapter tomorrow as compensation. I'm truly sorry!!

Chapter 203: Wings? She's a prisoner.

"Heavenly Sound..."

When the all-too-familiar voice sounded from behind Tianyin, she subconsciously stopped and then trembled violently.

That slightly resentful voice made every pore of Tianyin feel as if it were filled with cold, so much so that under the sunlight, Tianyin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Sailing Waves~"

After a few seconds of rapid thought, Amane suddenly turned around and lunged at Ichinose, but Ichinose easily dodged her.

"You didn't come to see me last night, was it because of Nanase? Hmm? Tsubasa? That's a nice name~"

As Ichinose murmured Nanase's name, her smile grew even brighter, while Amane swallowed hard.

Only now did she remember why Megumi's expression was so strange when she said she wanted to stay overnight last night. Amane had already forgotten about her promise to Ichinose. It wasn't that Amane didn't care about Ichinose, but mainly because Nanase's behavior last night was just...

Ahem, I accidentally hurt my morals. If possible, Amane really hopes that Ichinose can understand her...

Well, Amane also realized that her idea was a bit too shameless, but now the best thing to do is to think of some way to make amends to Ichinose.

I don't think being completely drained from the body would lead to sudden death, right?

"Tianyin, why aren't you saying anything?"

As if only then noticing that Amane's expression and movements were a bit stiff, Ichinose took the initiative to move closer to Amane and gently kiss her on the cheek.

"Uh...actually...Fanbo, you look really good today."

Amane was afraid that mentioning Nanase's name in her words would cause Ichinose any further upset, so she quickly praised Ichinose's outfit.

However, it must be said that Ichinose's outfit today is truly alluring.

Although there are no strict rules, everyone basically wears school sports uniforms. On the one hand, sports uniforms are durable and don't get dirty easily, and on the other hand, as the weather gets colder, sports uniforms are quite warm and of good quality. Their pretty skirts and coats get dirty after a day, not to mention the frighteningly high rate of damage. So, you can basically see people wearing school uniforms everywhere.

At most, the clothes worn underneath are just different.

But today, Ichinose had a different kind of charm. Her simple white sports t-shirt paired with black tight-fitting leather sports pants perfectly outlined her figure. Moreover, Ichinose had put on makeup and smelled nice perfume.

Normally, Ichinose would never dress up so elaborately.

"Is it really that beautiful, or is it..."

Ichinose's pure and clear azure eyes became so captivating in the blink of an eye that Amane unconsciously went into a state of alert the moment she met Ichinose's gaze. At that moment, the level of threat that Ichinose posed to her was something that no one had ever been able to reach before.

"Amane, are you just afraid I'll be angry because of Nanase?"

Ichinose tilted her head playfully and teased Amane.

Tianyin's suddenly constricted pupils slowly returned to normal, and the chilling sense of vigilance dissipated from her.

Ichinose's long, pink-gold hair fluttered in the autumn breeze, and her gentle, sweet smile, which seemed to encompass everything, bloomed on Ichinose Honami's face, captivating Amane. It was a pure, innocent beauty that gave people the feeling of first love.

Just like that white-haired girl who played chess with him on that snowy day.

dong dong dong! !

Amane's heart was racing; it was the feeling of being moved. But at this moment, Amane couldn't tell whether she was moved by Ichinose's perfect charm or by the elegant, gentle laughter of Yuuki in her memories.

Suddenly, in her memory, Sakayanagi Arisu looked up at Amane. The instant their eyes met, Amane snapped out of her fascination with the beautiful scenery.

No matter who she falls for, she must remain clear-headed; easily falling into the river of desire would only make Arisu laugh at her.

Moreover, Amane was certain that the feeling Ichinose gave her just a moment ago was real.

Tianyin doesn't mind that others have another side of themselves that she doesn't know about. However... with her around, there's no need to hide anything. As long as Tianyin gets serious, no one can hurt the person she likes. If she wants, she can have the power to protect everything in this school.

If only Honami could trust her a little more.

"What's wrong, Amane? You've been acting strange since earlier. Did you save all your energy for Nanase?"

Ichinose held the silent Amane in his arms, gently teasing her with a mischievous tone.

"No, that's not true. I was just stunned by your beauty, Fanbo. Would you like to wear this tonight?"

"No way! Tianyin, you'll definitely tear this outfit to shreds. I only brought one of these clothes with me, and I've only worn it once! It would be such a waste to ruin it like this, oh dear!"

Snapped!

The exquisite tactile sensation brought a satisfied smile to Tianyin's face.

Ichinose, covering her buttocks, blushed and distanced herself from Amane.

"You naughty Tianyin! What if someone sees us? Couldn't you have said it inside the tent?!"

Before Ichinose could finish speaking, she was hit again. This time, Amane hit her harder, and Ichinose's eyes welled up with tears from the pain. Her pitiful appearance made people feel both sorry for her and want to ruthlessly torment her at the same time.

"I like the look on your face right now, Honami."

"Ugh! Don't say such mushy things in public. Tianyin, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go get some breakfast first."

Ichinose chuckled and took Amane's arm as they headed toward the dining area.

They looked like a perfect couple.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

When the agreed-upon mealtime arrived, everyone tacitly put down their work and went to the dining area to wait.

When Tianyin arrived at the dining area, she was surprised to find that everyone seemed to have their own plate and utensils. It looked like the utensils left over after purchasing disposable bento boxes were washed and reused, thus eliminating the need to pay for disposable utensils every time she ate.

Just as Amane was worrying about what to do without cutlery, Ichinose suddenly produced a set of cutlery that looked brand new rather than washed.

"These are disposable tablewares that I bought last night, but I forgot to tell you, Tianyin."

Seeing Amane's curious expression, Ichinose smiled and explained.

Yesterday, in order not to eat too much and affect her physical functions, Amane only ate a little chicken breast and canned beef to maintain her strength. She did not eat the bento she bought at night, and therefore missed the opportunity to have disposable tableware. Fortunately, Ichinose was careful enough, otherwise it would have been much more troublesome for her to have a meal today.

Horikita, who was in the distance, took a deep look at Ichinose and handed a brand new set of cutlery to Nanase. She was just having trouble finding Nanase's cutlery and was about to ask Amane for her opinion when she saw this scene.

It was obvious that Ichinose had prepared cutlery for Amane without her knowledge. Although it was a trivial matter and it happened by accident that Nanase also had cutlery, Horikita still had a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Just as Horikita was still savoring the strange feeling from earlier, Shiina appeared in front of Amane with a brand new set of tableware.

"Oh? Tianyin, you actually prepared tableware. I thought you forgot about it, so I specially prepared a set for you."

"This was prepared for me by Honami. How could I possibly remember something like this? By the way, is this really enough for you, Hiyori?"

Everyone understands that the special exam might be a bit tough in order to save points. Besides, everyone here is an elite member who has gone through two forest schools and has become more accepting of food. Even if they are given lunchboxes, no one will complain too much.

Moreover, Horikita Suzune upgraded the meals, so naturally no one complained. Since it was all-you-can-eat, Horikita's food team prepared nearly ninety servings. It seemed like there was a possibility of waste, but considering that many boys would be doing heavy physical activities and were likely to eat more, Horikita did not strictly control everyone's food intake.

So everyone usually gets a little more than usual, but Shiina's meals seem rather meager.

Half a sandwich, a glass of milk, and a serving of mashed potatoes.

From a nutritional point of view, it's almost perfect, except for the portion size...

Tenon glanced at Ibuki, who had devoured the entire sandwich in a few bites and glared at her fiercely.

Ibuki's eating manners weren't very elegant, but her appetite was actually quite normal.

"I rarely eat breakfast. Even if I occasionally crave something, toast and milk are usually enough."

Shiina's answer was quite normal. Most girls at school have toast with jam and a glass of milk for breakfast, or sandwiches with milk. Only a very few have a super rich and luxurious breakfast consisting of sandwiches, hamburgers, whole wheat bread, fried chicken breast or steak, eggs, miso soup with tomato juice or milk, etc.

What? Such a person couldn't possibly exist? Well, that's not necessarily true.

"Actually, what I eat for breakfast is similar to what you eat every day."

After Tianyin finished speaking, she instinctively scratched her cheek.

Whether they are truly the same amount or not, only Amane and Horikita know.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke. There's still a lot of food, I can get you more if you need it."

"It's really delicious..."
