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

"Also, Tianze, there's something I need to correct about what you just said. What do you mean by bullying? If I remember correctly, Tianze, you did that kind of thing willingly, right? Since it was voluntary, how can you say that my Tianyin bullied you? As for me... Mother said that once you meet a partner you can entrust your life to, you should give them your whole heart and soul and not have any selfish thoughts."

When she mentioned her mother's teachings, Nanase's eyes sparkled, as if her mother's guidance was a beacon illuminating her path forward.

Perhaps in Nanase's own view, what she did by following her mother's teachings must be the right thing to do, after all, the fact that her mother and father were very loving proved that her mother's experience was correct and feasible.

Since she knew nothing about what lay ahead, rather than risk doing something that might disappoint Tianyin, she might as well follow her mother's teachings. After all, her mother would never betray her.

Such outrageous remarks directly impacted Tianze's values. After being shocked by Nanase's words for a long time, Tianze hugged Tianyin's waist and buried her head in Tianyin's arms, acting coquettishly.

"Tianyin!!! Look at her, look at her!! I knew she was after you to become my pet. She even brought up conservative ideas from the last century to steal my pet position. How can I compete with her!"

Tianze's tone grew increasingly sorrowful as she spoke, so Tianyin could only hold her in her arms and gently pat her back to comfort her.

"Yi's words are a bit extreme, but I think her mother is right."

"Right, right! I knew Senior Tianyin would understand me!"

Tianze: ? ? ?

Tianze looked up at Tianyin, then glanced at Nanase, whose face was full of admiration.

Suddenly, I had a sudden realization.

No wonder Nanase is so loved by Amane. It's because Nanase's values ​​are Amane's best choice, right?

Who wouldn't want a beautiful girl who would dedicate her body and soul to serving them while remaining devoted to them?

Originally, Amaze thought that Nanase might have some kind of problem, but now it seems that she is the one with the problem.

For example, the meaning behind Tianyin's inquiring gaze...

"Yixia, do you think you should entrust your whole heart and soul to your partner?"

"Of course!"

Without any hesitation, Tianze gave his answer almost immediately.

"Was your body and soul with me that summer?"

Tianyin whispered gently in Tianze's ear.

In that instant, Tianze felt a chill run through her body. Although the sun was shining brightly outside the window, she felt as if she were in the dead of winter.

"Master~ Haven't I already given myself to you, body and soul? Didn't we even do 'that' last time~?"

Tianze continued to cuddle and act coquettishly in Tianyin's arms, laughing playfully.

Tianyin did not answer Tianze immediately. She could feel Tianze's body in her arms becoming increasingly stiff as time went by.

When Tianyin realized that Tianze's mental endurance was about to reach its breaking point, she finally spoke.

"Of course I understand your feelings, Ichika."

The next second, Tianze's quiet and frequent breathing could be heard.

Clearly, Tianyin was quite frightened. Tianyin knew very well Tianze's original purpose in approaching her, and she also knew that there would always be a wall between her and Tianze. However, the two of them were smart enough to tacitly avoid mentioning that matter.

Getting Amaze to truly open up to her is extremely difficult, unless... Ayanokoji Atsuomi suddenly dies.

Otherwise, no one can guarantee that the abandoned child of the White House will one day remember this identity again.

Compared to Amasawa, Nanase was much more pure. Her mind was full of revenge, and the training she received at the White House was just normal. Fortunately, Nanase had already grown to the age where she wouldn't be easily brainwashed by Ayanokoji Atsuomi's theories before she started training.

So after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Amane actually had no hostility towards Nanase. In addition, after what happened yesterday, Amane was able to accept everything that Nanase had gone through.

"Bad woman!"

Hearing Tianze call Tianyin "master" again, Nanase glared at Tianze angrily, then stared at Tianyin expectantly like a bird waiting to be fed, as if she was just waiting for Tianyin to ask her.

"That Yi, you..."

"I'm entrusting everything to Senior Tianyin. Um... may I call you by your name?"

"Of course, although we are in different grades, the age difference is not that big. You can call me Tianyin."

Tianyin has never had such a particular requirement regarding how others address her.

"Mmm, Celestial Sound Studies... Celestial Sound... Hehe..."

Seeing Nanase's expression, like a kitten that had successfully stolen a dried fish, Amane shook her head helplessly. Although she didn't know why Nanase had suddenly become so happy, happiness was a good thing, so she let her be happy.

Tianyin held one of them in each arm, pulling them both into her embrace.

Tenze and Nanase, who were nestled in Tenon's arms, exchanged a glance and then simultaneously looked away from each other.

Since neither of them has any good feelings towards the other, it's natural that they wouldn't give each other a friendly look.

However, Tianyin had plenty of ways to deal with it.

"I don't care about your relationships with each other, but I'm here, and everything revolves around me, understand?"

Before the two could respond, Tianyin kissed them hard on the lips, then pointed to her own cheek.

Having just been kissed, Tensawa and Nanase exchanged a glance, their faces flushed, and then simultaneously tiptoed and gently kissed Tenon on the cheek in response.

Tianyin finally smiled with satisfaction.

Just as Tianyin walked out of the room with two women on her left and right.

Tianyin was completely dumbfounded.

They said no one was guarding outside? Isn't it packed with people three or four layers deep?

Chapter 209: Another one coming to our doorstep

"You wicked woman! Didn't you check that no one was outside? What's going on here?"

The thought that her voice might have been heard by so many people in front of her made Nanase feel like she wanted to die for a moment, while Tensawa next to her had an extremely ugly expression.

Who told her to be the loudest just now? And what she shouted... Thinking back on it, even Tianze, who has a thick skin, felt incredibly embarrassed.

"It's so noisy! How was I supposed to know about this?! I was with you the whole time, what could I do if they found out later?"

Of the three, only Tianyin was slightly surprised. The reason for her surprise was not because she had lost her composure during the negotiations, but because there were first-year students among this group. Did Jiang Yan send more than one group?

Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss over someone's sake? Although Tianyin really doesn't intend to return the person.

"Rin, what's going on here...?"

Horikita was starting to admire Amane's composure. She was doing something shameless in broad daylight, and after being discovered, she was still able to speak to her calmly. Most people would probably have screamed and hidden in the house, too scared to come out.

"You'll have to ask Tianze about that."

Horikita stepped aside, and Yagami Takuya, who was at the back of the crowd, walked forward with several first-year girls, looking at Amasawa with a helpless expression.

Even the slowest person would now realize that the reason everyone was gathered here was probably related to Tianze.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? I didn't tell them to come over. By the way, Yagami, why are you here? Didn't Hayasaka-san put me in charge of negotiating with the second-year students about exchanging Nanase-san? What? Are you here to take me back?"

Faced with Nanase's barrage of questions, Yagami sighed heavily, as if he were exhausted.

"Tianze, have you forgotten what Miyako told you before you left?"

Tianze's expression froze. She suddenly remembered that when she rushed out to see Tianyin, Jiang Yan did seem to say something. At the time, she was only focused on touching up her makeup and didn't hear a word of it. After all, it was just about changing people, not a big deal.

Now that I think about it... could it be that what Yan said was...?

Upon seeing Tianze's expression, Yagami was utterly speechless. How could he forget something so important? If he hadn't been a little cautious, the first-year students would probably have been wiped out today.

"Before you left, Miyako told you that he believed Amane-senpai wouldn't let Nanase go, and that you should do your best. If you really couldn't get her back, you had to return safely. He was afraid that you would also be detained by Amane-senpai. If you didn't return within two hours, he would mobilize all the first-year students to launch a full-scale attack on the second-year students to force them to release her. You need to protect yourself."

Suppressing his anger, Yagami repeated Masahiko's instructions to Amasawa.

Logically, such confidential matters should be discussed privately. However, Yagami is currently in the core area of ​​the second-year base. No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for them, two outsiders, to have the opportunity to communicate privately here. Moreover, Masahiko is already confronting Ryuen below the base, so there's no need to hide it anymore.

Hearing Yagami's words, Tenze's expression gradually stiffened. Yagami's reminder seemed to bring back some of Jiang Yan's instructions. Damn it! Could it be that she forgot about it when she was doing "that"? If that's the case, she'll be in big trouble.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Senior Tianyin was so kind, I couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to go along with her..."

"You can save your explanation for when you talk to Miyako. My task is simply to confirm whether you have been taken hostage and... confirm the outcome of your negotiations with the second-year students."

Tianze's face darkened like a stormy cloud. Yagami's blatant disrespect in front of so many people was indeed a mistake in her handling of the matter, but Yagami's complete disregard for her reminded Tianze of the ugly face Yagami had shown when he expelled her from the team that was supposed to 'assassinate' Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

However, it was indeed her mistake at the moment. She hadn't gone so far as to ignore her error and make a scene. But... the outcome of the negotiations would probably be exactly what Jiang Yan had predicted.

Seeing that Tianze's expression had turned ugly, Tianyin stepped forward and shielded him behind her.

"You're Yagami?"

Yagami's body tensed instinctively as he was instantly locked onto by Tenon's gaze.

Although the two had met a few times before, Yagami knew very well that Amane's attitude indicated that she was deliberately trying to embarrass him. If he refused to answer, he would undoubtedly leave a bad reputation for disrespecting his senior, and Amane would also use this as a reason to carry out some retaliatory actions against the first-year students within the school's permitted scope.

After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, Yagami abandoned the arrogant attitude he had shown when facing Amaze and respectfully reintroduced himself to Amaine.

"That's right, I'm Yagami Takuya from Class B of the first year. I've heard of Miyako-senpai's reputation since I first entered the school and have always admired her. Yesterday, her outburst at Class D of the first year amazed me even more. I wonder if there's anything you want to tell me, senpai? If my words or actions have offended you, I hope you can forgive me."

"Are you done talking? If you are, get out of my territory."

Tianyin's domineering attitude immediately silenced the scene.

The people behind Yagami all looked at Amane with disgust.

In their view, even second-year seniors shouldn't treat them in such a rude way.

"Senior, don't you think it's inappropriate to treat Yagami like this? As a senior, you should set a good example for us juniors. Otherwise, if all seniors treat juniors so rudely like you, our school will be ridiculed by outsiders."

"Shut up, Miyagi!"

"Yagami-kun! That woman just humiliated you, humiliated our Class 1-B, and the entire first year! Even if there is a difference in our strength, we shouldn't be subjected to insults here! I will report this to the school, and I hope that when Senior Amane comes to apologize to Class 1-B, she will learn to lower her head and speak respectfully."

Snapped!

Before Amane could react, Nanase slapped Miyagi across the face.

Caught off guard, Miyagi was knocked to the ground by the immense force of Nanase's hand, and none of the onlookers even tried to help her up.

Even the first-year students who had also shown disgust towards Tianyin were now silent and trembling, not even daring to breathe loudly.

All eyes were focused on the petite figure standing in front of the palace.

Nanase didn't look at Miyagi lying on the ground, but instead angrily looked at Horikita and Ichinose standing to the side.

"Horikita-senpai! She was just saying bad things about Amane!"

Nanase, as a junior, questioned Horikita in a accusatory tone, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Matsushita and others. However, under Ichinose's prompting, Matsushita and the others could only swallow their anger and wait for Horikita's reaction.

Currently, Ryuen is confronting Masahiko with the boys, so Horikita has the most say in this base and the power to decide anything that happens here.

"Yagami-kun, we've detained this person in our second year. Please go back and tell Hayasaka-kun. Oh, and don't forget the order Amane just gave you, otherwise I'll have to have Amane send you away."

As the temporary highest-ranking person in charge of the base, Horikita could not possibly remain a bystander at this time.

Yagami frowned. People from the White House were all trained, and being insulted was a minor matter. In their eyes, the most important thing was the result and the benefit.

Miyagi's abilities are mediocre; he's only good at running and is a key member of the track and field club, which is why he was able to get through special training. His relationship with him is also just so-so. Miyagi is also not popular in Class B of the first year. It would be a bad deal to offend Miyako Amane and the students of Class A of the first year in order to protect such a low-value student.

The problem is...

Gongcheng wasn't wrong; Tianyin's attitude was indeed inappropriate. Just because he could accept it didn't mean Tianyin's words and actions were without fault. If he abandoned Gongcheng today, assuming Gongcheng hadn't made any mistakes, his position as class leader would be in jeopardy.

At this moment, his situation was similar to Horikita's. Horikita was pushed to the forefront by Nanase's words and had to take a tough stance to make Yagami make concessions in order to maintain her authority.

Yagami could see this, so he didn't show any dissatisfaction with Horikita's statement. He also understood that things were beyond his control.

But now that he's in a situation where he has no choice, it has put Yagami in a real bind.

To protect or not to protect.

If they are protected, they will probably all be kept by Tianyin; if they are not protected... how will he explain this to his classmates when he goes back?

"I'm very sorry, Miyagi-kun. I only said those things in a fit of anger. I apologize to all the seniors and upperclassmen on Miyagi's behalf. If we second-year students are not welcome here, we will leave now."

As he spoke, Yagami grabbed the trembling Miyagi and tried to slip away unnoticed.

"The person stays, otherwise all of you can stay and keep her company."

Tenon's cold voice rang out from behind Yagami.

In an instant, a chill ran down Yagami's spine.

Yagami turned around and, for the first time since arriving at this base, looked directly at Tenon's face without backing down. However, Tenon's purple eyes radiated a kingly majesty, and Yagami felt an almost overwhelming sense of oppression. His heart trembled. After staring at each other for nearly a minute, Yagami had no choice but to lower his head and avoid Tenon's gaze, which seemed to pierce through one's heart and made one want to submit and follow.

Those who followed Yagami and were being dragged by him immediately knew that it was no longer safe to stay there after seeing Yagami bow his head to Amane.

"I see."

With a hoarse voice, Yagami glanced at Miyagi at his feet, tossed her to the ground like trash, and then strode towards the gate of Class B's base without looking back. The first-year students who had come with Yagami saw him fleeing in such a disheveled state, and they all abandoned all pretense of decorum and rushed after him in a frantic escape.
