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

It seems that finding a place in the school that can accommodate so many people is not easy, except for classrooms.

Noticing Maezono's confusion, Horikita began to explain her plan to Maeda and the other students in the class.

"First of all, I hope that everyone can send me their ideas via email, and it would be best if they could be submitted as a proposal. Let's take Maeda's suggestion as an example."

Let's say our class decides to put on a food-related performance. What should a proposal include? First, of course, is the specific type of food. Let's say we're selling fried chicken. Then the proposal must include the cost of chicken and other ingredients, the cooking method, and a survey of taste preferences. Besides that, it should also include the choice of stall location, the number of staff needed, the desired selling price, the equipment and utensils needed (whether to buy or rent), the daily cost, etc. I believe everyone understands what I mean. So, I hope those students who just want to join in the fun will abandon that idea. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the cultural festival, but I want truly useful proposals.

After Horikita explained the format of the campaign proposal, many people lowered their heads in frustration. On the one hand, the proposal itself didn't seem difficult, but for many people who just wanted to talk, it was better to wait for Horikita to decide on the project and follow his instructions than to go through the trouble of creating a proposal.

After Horikita's example, more than half of the class fell into frustration. It seemed that they had all come up with some ideas that they thought were good, but once they were put into the content required by Horikita's proposal, they found that there was a big gap between their ideas and reality.

The remaining group, such as Wang Meiyu and Hirata, seemed to be deep in thought, indicating that they had some ideas but needed more time to investigate and prepare.

"The deadline for submitting proposals is 8 p.m. on Sunday. I hope that students who have ideas can let me see your proposals before this time."

After agreeing on a time, Horikita stepped down from the podium, and the quiet class began to become noisy again. Many students even started to seriously discuss the problems that might be encountered during the implementation of some ingenious plans.

The first thing Horikita did after returning to his seat was to call Amane over.

"Lingyin?"

Looking at the mysterious Horikita, Amane blinked in confusion. Hadn't everything for the cultural festival already been arranged? Did he have some secret to tell her?

Thinking of this, Amane quickly moved closer to Horikita, who was waving to her.

"Have you not been to Sakayanagi's place much lately?"

Horikita's words left Amane stunned, as if struck by lightning.

For a moment, Tianyin didn't know how to answer the question.

Whether you answer "yes" or "no," it feels like a life-or-death question.

Seeing the constant changes in Amane's expression, Horikita naturally guessed what Amane was thinking. Actually, she no longer harbored any hostility towards Sakayanagi. However, the impression that she was too possessive and prone to jealousy when she first started dating Amane was probably ingrained in Amane's mind. That's why Amane was afraid that Amane would get upset about anything related to other girls.

Horikita found Amane's nervously twisted fingers almost into a windmill shape rather cute and wanted to explain to her. However, upon reflection, Horikita realized that it was inconvenient for her to explain such a thing herself. Was she supposed to explain to Amane that she wasn't so easily jealous anymore? Just thinking about it made her feel... too embarrassed. She could only let Amane misunderstand for now.

Horikita composed himself before whispering something suggestive into Amane's ear.

"You know about the cultural festival; besides the initial funds, there are additional points, so... you know what I mean, right?"

……

"This is the first time I've heard such a reason. Come to think of it, even if Horikita asked you to come to me to pull some strings to get some extra points for your class, it doesn't mean you should be allowed to use your key to enter my room in the middle of the night, does it?"

Arisu glanced at Amane, who was lying next to her in a bear-patterned pajama, and sighed deeply.

Arisu doesn't have any entertainment activities at night, so she has developed a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. She had already gone to bed when she suddenly heard the door being opened. Startled, she almost cried out, but knowing that calling for help without knowing the other person's intentions would only backfire, Arisu pretended to be asleep to see what the other person wanted to do.

To her surprise, the other person even changed their shoes at the door, and then they tiptoed into her bed hand in hand.

I also kissed her in the dark.

When Arisu realized she had been kissed, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then casually picked up her cane from the bedside table and gave the uninvited guest who had barged into her dorm in the middle of the night a good physical scolding, and finally...

They still took in Tianyin, who was carrying toiletries, bags of clothes, and a teddy bear pillow.

Isn't this just a case of someone angering Horikita and getting kicked out of the house?

Because Amane was frequently kicked out to wander along with her bedding, Arisu was quite quick to accept the current situation. However, the reason Amane had attacked her at night was really making her feel a bit nauseous.

I initially thought Tianyin had finally had a change of heart and was coming over late at night to spend the night with her, but it turns out she only came for some extra points. This is really...

“Everything I said is true, and Rin can vouch for me… um.”

Before Tenon could finish speaking, Arisu gently touched her lips with her finger.

"I said I would unconditionally believe everything you say, which means you'll be staying here with me for the next while, right?"

Arisu said, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"Hehe, I'll be bothering you for a while now."

"Why are you nagging me? But Tianyin, you need to think this through first. You know that living with me means I need your help with many things in my life. That means you won't have time to stay overnight at other girls' places or go on dates with your cute girlfriends, okay? If you change your mind, you can go back now. As for the extra points... considering our relationship, I'll give you the maximum points I can afford. So, Tianyin, have you thought it through?"

Arisu can manage her daily life to a minimum, but it takes her far longer than normal without anyone to take care of her. Being strong-willed, she refuses to accept the kindness of her father or school and insists on living alone in order to prove to others that she is not much different from normal people.

However, when Amane is around, Arisu subconsciously wants to rely on her. Before she enrolled in school, when she lived with Amane and Kaede, Amane took care of Arisu's daily life almost entirely. But since it was in Amane's house, Arisu didn't feel there was anything wrong with relying on Amane's kindness.

But we're at school now.

Although her life revolves around Amane, Amane's school life is vibrant and colorful. If taking care of her requires Amane to sacrifice the most precious and only one-time experience of her high school life, Arisu would rather refuse this rare opportunity to relive the wonderful time she spent with Amane.

Tenon didn't speak, but instead reached out and gently flicked Arisu's forehead.

“Arisu always likes to call me stupid, but now it seems that Arisu is the stupid one.”

How did I become an idiot?

When Arisu heard Amane call her an idiot, she couldn't help but let out a pleasant chuckle. She wanted to hear how she, a genius second only to Amane, could be called an idiot by Amane.

"Arisu, who are you to me?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Tianyin, are you asking about our relationship? I guess we're... lovers?"

Although their relationship could be described as that of an old married couple, Arisu couldn't help but feel shy every time their specific identities were mentioned.

"Isn't it normal for lovers to help each other? Besides, wasn't I the one taking care of you before? Before coming here, I specifically asked you if you wanted to come to Gaoyu with me. You said you weren't planning to come, so I decided to keep my promise. Who knew Uncle Banliu was lying!!! If I had known you were coming, I definitely would have..."

Arisu gently shook her head.

“Your situation with Horikita isn’t just about keeping a promise. I can tell you two really like each other. Otherwise… a promise without any proof doesn’t count with me.”

A fleeting, chilling glint flashed across Arisuna's doting gaze, a glint that even Tenon failed to notice.

She observed Horikita from the shadows for a long time before accepting that Amane was living with her.

If Aryane didn't truly love Horikita, even if Horikita and the others had done Arisu a great favor, Arisu wouldn't be willing to let Horikita even glance at her most precious possession, let alone share half of it with her.

Chu~

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it touches and leaves in an instant.

The gentle feeling vanished completely before Arisu could even savor it, causing her to pout.

"Too fast! No kiss is like this, Tianyin!"

Arisu complained, but she was secretly overjoyed because she knew that the kiss she had just received was Amane's final answer.

"So, what kind of person do you want, Arisu?"

"At least five minutes... never mind, I'm afraid I can't handle it, I'll just do whatever I want. But you better behave yourself today. Look at your dark circles, they're still so obvious even with light makeup. Excessive indulgence is bad for your health. Horikita-kun, really, can't you pay more attention to Amane's health?"

From the moment Arisu turned on the light and saw Amane, she felt a pang of sympathy for Amane's obviously exhausted appearance, which was definitely caused by playing too much.

As for why Arisu knew...

She coughed and coughed as soon as she tasted the sweetness of it...

Tianyin immediately perked up at the mention of excessive indulgence.

"Arisu, Arisu, let me tell you! Rinne has been acting really strange these past few days! Ever since my birthday, Rinne has been like a completely different person, dragging me to play games every day, I can't take it anymore!!"

Hearing Amane's complaint, Arisu blushed instantly. How could she say such things so casually?

But why does Tianyin's description seem somewhat familiar to her?

Arisu recalled the words of advice she gave to Horikita before leaving the swimming pool.

"If you have time, remember to take good care of Tianyin."

Arisu's face, which was all smiles just a second ago, gradually began to stiffen.

Chapter 233: Do you want to go on a date with her?

"Arisu, your expression is strange. Did you say something to Suzune?"

Just as Tenon was about to sit up in bed, Arisu pressed her back down.

"How could that be? Maybe Horikita-kun just happened to be in the mood recently. It's already late, let's get some rest."

With a smile, Arisu gently stroked Amane's face with her hand, causing Amane to close her eyes.

The next second, as soon as Tenon opened her eyes, she saw Arisu staring at her with an expression that said, "I knew it all along."

"Um... I just wanted to say goodnight to Arisu."

"I almost forgot about that. Goodnight, Tianyin~"

Goodnight, Arisu...

Amane's voice abruptly stopped. Although it wasn't the first time she had done something like this, every time she kissed Arisu, Amane had a very strange feeling.

Looking at Arisu's fair and rosy cheeks, Tenon couldn't resist the urge to take a bite. Unfortunately, her mouth was already occupied by Arisu, so she could only passively lie there and admire Arisu's cute appearance up close.

Those eyes, which were somewhat similar to her own but much gentler, began to grow increasingly unfocused.

Arisu has already become somewhat addicted to it.

Feeling that the pressure on Arisu's lips was gradually weakening, and knowing that she was about to give up, Tenon deliberately moved away from her. As Arisu took a deep breath of fresh air, she quickly adjusted her breathing rhythm while looking at Tenon with a puzzled expression. She was still just a little bit away from feeling like she was about to suffocate, so why did Tenon seem to have no tacit understanding with her this time?

"Are you ready?"

Amane cupped Arisu's soft, hot cheeks in her hands. Faced with Amane's affectionate gaze, even Arisu couldn't help but feel a little shy.

However, Arisu quickly realized something and his expression became somewhat flustered.

"Wait, wait a minute, it's supposed to be tonight—".

Knowing Tianyin perfectly, she naturally knew that if Tianyin suddenly stopped before finishing something, it meant that Tianyin was not satisfied with this light contact; she wanted something more intense and passionate.

……

The next morning, when Arisu woke up in bed, she was in a daze, her head was throbbing and a little sore, just like the reaction of someone who was drunk.

However, Arisu is certain that she was not drunk last night, so what made her drunk?

Glug glug...

Before her mind could even clear up, Arisu's stomach started growling.

It wasn't that Arisu had such a strong appetite so early in the morning, but rather that Amane had been preparing breakfast for Arisu ever since she got up.

Strangely enough, Amane, who usually sleeps in and waits for Horikita to feed her, wakes up exceptionally early when she's with Arisu. Even though she hasn't made breakfast in almost a year, she still makes the food she used to prepare for Arisu with the same ease and skill.

Arisu's nose twitched slightly as she smelled the aroma of butter and bacon in the air, and then she felt even hungrier.

Her breakfasts are usually quite simple. She buys a bread roll and a carton of milk when she passes by a store, and that's enough for breakfast. In Arisu's opinion, there are less than four hours between breakfast and noon, so she doesn't care at all what she eats. As long as it keeps her full until noon, that's enough.

Many people may find it hard to imagine that even Sakayanagi Arisu, who comes from a prestigious family, has meals that are almost no different from those of ordinary students after coming to this school.

"Arisu, you're awake? Good morning, Arisu~"

Upon noticing that Arisu had woken up, Amane immediately moved closer to Arisu, pointing to her own cheek while staring at Arisu with her bright, sparkling eyes.

"Good morning, Tianyin... I haven't washed up yet..."

When Arisu realized that Amane was asking for a good morning kiss, she was a little unaccustomed to it at first, as if it had been a long time since the last time the two of them had been like this.

"Oh, I'm not an outsider, I don't mind your kiss, Arisu~"

After speaking, Amane gave Arisu a good morning kiss, and then Amane's eyes immediately shifted to the side, unable to look Arisu in the eye.

Arisu looked at Amane's slightly guilty expression and smiled faintly.

Did you forget to wipe your mouth after sneaking a bite of bacon?

Arisu knew why Amane had that expression without even looking, as if it had become her instinct.

"Eh? You know about Arisu? Cough cough, that was just an accident~ Let me wipe it for you..."

Arisu let Amane gently wipe her face with a wet wipe. Only after Amane had seen enough did Arisu get up to wash up.

Do you need my help?

"It's just a small thing like washing up. Tianyin, you should keep an eye on your bacon. Be careful not to burn it. I still remember Fenghua's burnt bacon. That was just a waste of food."

"I'm not like Kaede, that idiot who only knows how to eat. But speaking of which, we could invite Kaede to come and try the food when we hold the cultural festival. She's quite picky about food..."

Arisu originally wanted to persuade Amane, because in her opinion, Kaede preferred to overeat rather than enjoy delicious food. If Kaede ate and drank recklessly at her stall, Amane could forget about making any money.

However, Arisu thought that this might be quite amusing, so he gave up on trying to persuade Amane.

As Arisu slowly entered the bathroom with her cane, she was startled by her reflection in the mirror as soon as she turned on the light.

"Miyako Tenne!!! Why, why..."

Hearing Arisu calling her name, Amane happily ran into the bathroom, only to be hit on the head with a stick as soon as she entered.
