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

Nanase was still complaining indignantly, while Amasawa just shook his head slightly. How dare Nanase talk about others? Back then, Nanase's purpose in approaching Amane was to carry out an assassination... Isn't that more serious than those girls she mentioned?

"You buy two movie tickets... I'll reimburse you, and I'll go buy some food and drinks."

After Tianze finished speaking, he casually tossed his student card to Nanase so she could use it to buy movie tickets, and then went to buy snacks for later.

"Don't worry about me! Eh? So your name is Tianze Yixia, you bad woman? Oh dear, I've gotten so used to calling you bad woman that I almost forgot your real name..."

Upon hearing this, Amasawa rolled his eyes at Nanase, who was still grinning foolishly, and simply chose to ignore the idiot.

Nanase happily took out her two student IDs to buy movie tickets.

"Excuse me, could you please give me two tickets?"

Just as Nanase was about to buy tickets for the movie "Crazy Chainsaw Man" that Amane and the others were going to see, Nanase saw that the newly released animated movie "Puji Puji Adventure," which Nanase had been looking forward to for a long time, was also showing in the next showing.

This made Nanase hesitate for a moment.

Is it Chainsaw Man or Poop Poop...?

"No! I can't go against my own decision! I've decided on you—"

Nanase's gaze instantly hardened, and she decisively bought two movie tickets for adjacent seats.

then.

Inside screening room number two.

Tianze looked at Nanase, who was happily eating popcorn beside him, and then at the animated movie playing on the screen, where a little bird was hopping around.

"Damn it! What kind of ticket did you buy?!"

Tianze Yixia finally broke down in anger.

Chapter 254: Meeting the parents on the first date?

In the pitch-black screening room, a huge screen was playing extremely bloody and terrifying images.

The combination of terrifying visuals, bloody scenes, and eerie music undoubtedly provides viewers with an extremely stimulating visual and sensory feast.

Normally, the theater would be filled with screams from girls by now, but unfortunately, there were only two people in theater number one.

Because the school stipulated that the physical training should include third-year students, today, not only in the movie theater, but also in the entire Beech Tree Shopping Center, apart from the merchants and staff, there were no students to be seen. However, it seems that the school did not notify the merchants in advance, so the projectionist was a little dumbfounded when he saw that there were only two students watching a movie.

Finally, I learned from Amane and Kamuro that the students would have to undergo extra physical training and that school would be delayed.

The huge screening room was empty except for Amane and Kamuro, making it seem like they had the whole place to themselves. However, Amane didn't show any joy at having the entire room to herself, because... nobody had told her that Kamuro was actually a horror movie fan!

Looking at Kamuro, who was watching a horror movie and seemed to be enjoying it, Amane felt that her date plan had fallen into a trap right from the start.

Is there anything worse than watching a horror movie with a girl who likes horror movies?

Just as Amane was wondering whether she should change her plans, Kamuro suddenly turned to Amane and asked her with some curiosity.

"Tianyin, aren't you going to give me a massage anymore? I felt your massage technique was quite impressive..."

"Ahem, of course, I'm a professional in this area!"

Feeling a little guilty, Tianyin shifted her attention back to the screen.

From the very beginning of the movie, Amane was very interested in Kamuro's perfect fat distribution on his thighs and waist, so she was immersed in studying it. Just when she was about to study Kamuro's pectoral muscle health, she was forced to stop because she lost focus, which made Amane feel a little regretful.

After watching the movie in a rather dull way, Tianyin began to think about where to go on her next date.

"I didn't expect Crazy Chainsaw Man to be better than I imagined. I thought the previous one sold so badly that the later story wouldn't be any better."

Kamuro's evaluation of the video was quite positive. Kamuro even began to suspect that Arisu was leaking the questions to Amane because Amane knew her preferences so well.

Suddenly, Kamuro felt Tenon beside him stop walking and couldn't help but look at her.

"Hmm... I'm not mistaken, those two should be Nanase and Amasawa..."

Amane pointed uncertainly to the exit of screening room 2 not far away. Kamuro looked in the direction Amane was pointing and saw two familiar faces. Although she definitely wouldn't be able to call them by name, Kamuro had a deep impression of them because they were both cute girls who were also very good at fighting, and seemed to be even stronger than Horikita.

But did the two of them have a conflict?

"You idiot, you idiot, you idiot!!! Why did you buy tickets for that 'jipujipu' movie? Didn't we agree to go see that horror movie?"

Tenze, who was always quite composed and elegant in his behavior, suddenly grabbed a tuft of hair sticking up on Nanase's head and pulled it hard in front of everyone.

Well, after Tianyin's visual inspection, that shouldn't be a cowlick; it really is just a tuft of ordinary hair.

Nanase, who was being bullied, didn't fight back. She just cried out in pain, which made it seem like she was indeed in the wrong.

However, Nanase stopped after shouting a couple of times.

"That's right! You bad woman, that one isn't called 'Ji Pu Ji Pu,' it's called 'Pu Ji Pu Ji!'"

Nanase earnestly corrected the mistake in Amaze's words. Since his combo was interrupted by Nanase, Amaze could only nod in agreement.

"So it's just a 'puji puji'... What does that have to do with me! Who cares what kind of 'puji' it is, it's just a bird, right? Although it looks alright, you actually have the nerve to ask me to reimburse you?!"

In a fit of rage, Tianze tugged at Nanase's hair a few more times, causing Nanase to wince in pain and tears to well up in her eyes.

"Stop pulling! Stop pulling!!! That really hurts! Waaaaah... You were such a bad woman, you said you'd reimburse me... Now you're turning your back on me, you really are a bad woman!!"

Seeing that Nanase still dared to speak ill of her, Amasawa released his grip on Nanase's hair. Just when Nanase thought she was finally free, the pain in her ear told her that this matter was probably not over so soon.

"My ears hurt so much... Waaaaah..."

Having witnessed the bullying firsthand, Kamuro hesitated before asking the question.

"Nanase-san seems to have been bullied. Is that alright?"

Kamuro thought that Amasawa's force was a bit too much, if it was a joke. Nanase was crying so loudly because of the pain. If it hadn't been stopped in time, Nanase might have been injured.

However, Amane could tell at a glance that Tenze hadn't used any force at all. It was just that the originally shy and quiet Nanase seemed to have truly awakened after the special exam. Her expressions, actions, and tone of voice were completely different from before. For example, right now, Nanase looked like she was being bullied, but in reality, Tenze was just easily pulling her by the ear. It was only because she was crying loudly and miserably that people felt sorry for her.

This guy seems to have awakened a strange talent...

Amane had discussed this with Nanase privately before, and Nanase even blamed Amane for developing it well...

"It's okay. If Ichika gets serious, she can indeed bully Tsubasa a bit, but it's impossible for her to be bullied like this. Listen to Tsubasa's voice. Who can cry so loudly when they're being bullied? I think this is probably just to get Ichika to pay for what she yelled. It's just little squabbles between girls."

As Amane spoke, she ignored Nanase, who was still struggling and waving desperately in Amane's direction in the distance, and turned around to take Kamuro's hand.

"Where would you like to go next, Masumi?"

Kamuro originally wanted to complain about Amane's standard trivialities, but as soon as Amane asked her about her next plans, she immediately blushed, lowered her head, and answered softly.

"It's all right."

The phrase "anything is fine" put Tianyin in a bit of a dilemma, but the quick-witted girl soon came up with a good idea.

"Masumi, would you like to learn how to make desserts?"

Kamuro was intrigued at the mention of desserts, but when she realized she was being asked to make them, she was so startled that she waved her hands repeatedly.

"I'd rather not make desserts. My skills almost led to someone poisoning Arisu-muko Majima-sensei... The taste was actually pretty good, just a little bit dark... just a tiny bit..."

Kamuro gestured with his hands to indicate a tiny bit of the shape, but Amane clearly didn't believe it was really just a tiny bit darker. However, the quality of the craftsmanship didn't really matter; the main thing was to find a date activity that both of them could enjoy to pass the time.

When it's time for dinner, Tenon can take Kamuro out for something delicious.

"It's okay, I'm here, aren't I? We can make and eat at the bakery... cough cough... do you want to come with me?"

Kamuro was already somewhat tempted, but felt that her skills would be embarrassing. However, since Amane had already put it this way, it would seem pretentious for her to refuse out of fear of not being good at cooking.

"Then I'll go with you to take a look, but let's make it clear first, you can't laugh at me if I don't do a good job!"

"Don't worry, I wouldn't do such a thing~ Let's hurry over there, Principal Fujiwara shouldn't be closing the door yet at this time... he should be."

"Fujiwara... Principal? Huh?"

Before Kamuro could react, Amane pulled him away a dozen steps.

Although she had followed Tenon away, Kamuro was still processing the shock Tenon had just said.

Could that bakery owner really be the principal? How could such an outrageous thing happen? No university principal would have nothing better to do than bake bread. Tianyin must be mistaken!

Yes, that must be it!

As the sound of their footsteps faded into the distance, two small heads peeked out from around the corner.

"Dessert...I really want some...Ouch! You bad woman, why did you hit me again?! I didn't ask you to buy it for me this time!"

Nanase, clutching her head, angrily questioned Amasawa.

Tianze rolled her eyes at Nanase, annoyed. The reason her plans hadn't been going well was because this idiot was always holding her back.

"All you do is eat! That girl's practically sleeping in Tianyin's bed!"

"Sleep if you want, it's not like you slept in my bed... cough cough, what I mean is we should try to prevent this terrible thing from happening!"

Nanase, looking completely innocent, quickly changed her tune when she saw Amasawa's glare, which was practically spitting fire. She declared that she was determined to stop Kamuro from getting together with Amane.

"Hmph, well then I'll go carry out the plan, you just wait here, understand?"

Amasawa specifically emphasized that having Nanase wait in place to carry out this strategy against the love rival would increase the chances of success if Nanase, that naive and innocent fool, wasn't involved.

"Hey? Aren't you taking me with you? I'm also looking for something to eat... and I want to help that bad woman... Speaking of which, what's your name, bad woman?"

"...Tianze, Tianze Yixia!!! You just stay here obediently, and when my plan succeeds, I'll treat you to desserts, as many as you want!"

"Yay! I'll wait here for Tianze to come back~! Hehe~ Dessert~"

Seeing Nanase's jubilant expression, Tenzawa found it hard to regard her as someone whose strength was on the same level as his. Speaking of which, when Ayanokouji gave Nanase special training at the White House, did he only teach her how to fight? She seems as innocent as a child.

The thought that such a naive fool was also one of his rivals made Amaze a little nervous, but after considering that it was precisely because Nanase was too naive that she fell for Amane's tricks like her, Amaze felt much better.

After making a promise with Nanase, Amasawa deliberately swaggered towards the bakery. If he could just snuggle into Amane's arms and act cute in front of Kamuro, that girl named Kamuro would probably give up.

I really don't understand why Nanase could mess up such a simple plan...

After watching Tianze leave, Nanase gently patted her cheeks, which were covered in silly grins.

"I laughed so hard my face got stiff. That bad woman is the idiot."

As she spoke, Nanase took out her phone and dialed a number that Amane knew all too well. After ringing a few times, Arisu's languid voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's Tsubasa. What's wrong? Is Amasawa still determined to ruin Masumi's date?"

"That's right, I've tried my best to stall for time, but it seems that Tianze is under a lot of pressure because she hasn't seen Tianyin for so long. She left me behind to go find Tianyin and the others. Should I send Tianyin a message to remind her?"

Nanase asked cautiously.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Where have Amane and Masumi gone now?"

"I just saw Amane and Kamuro-senpai go to the bakery together, the one that's very close to the teaching building."

Upon hearing Nanase say that Amane had gone towards the bakery, Arisu's pleasant chuckle came from the other end of the phone.

"If we go to the bakery, we don't need to worry about her. Someone will take care of it. I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter, Yi. Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you."

When she realized that Amasawa was trying to ruin Amane's date, Nanase, who had already recognized Kamuro, decided to secretly call Arisu after finishing her ice cream, under the pretext of taking out the trash, to explain the situation.

Although Kamuro has transferred to Class A, they were classmates for over a year, and this whole thing happened right under her nose. If Amaze manages to ruin it, given Kamuro's personality, she'll probably never have another chance to date Amane again.

So Arisu immediately turned the tables and asked Nanase to buy as much time as possible for Amane. Nanase then took the opportunity to propose that she wanted to have a date with Amane alone.

Arisu trusted and felt quite at ease with Nanase, and considering that Amane probably wouldn't refuse a date request from such a cute girl as Nanase, he simply agreed on Amane's behalf.

Then there's the incident of Nanase buying the wrong movie tickets and deliberately asking Amasawa to reimburse her for the movie tickets; in short, she uses all sorts of excuses to delay Amasawa.

However, it was obvious that Amaze had also noticed the problem. Fortunately, Amaze had no idea that a simple and honest girl like Nanase would secretly make reports. He just felt that it would be inconvenient to carry out the plan with Nanase, so he left Nanase here and went to carry out the plan himself. This gave Nanase another chance to contact Arisu.

"You're too kind. It's nothing. I won't worry about Tianze's situation for now."

"No problem. There are people there that I have to be extremely careful of. If you, Tianze, just barge in and try to ruin Tianyin's date, you'd better be careful that person doesn't target you."

"That one?"

Nanase was a little curious about what kind of person could make Arisu so cautious.

Fujiwara Bakery.

Seeing the "Open for Business" sign hanging outside, Tenon pulled Kamuro along without a second thought and pushed open the door to go inside.

"Miss Fujiwara... Hey! Mom, what are you doing here?"

Chapter 255: After Strenuous Exercise

As soon as Amane entered, she was startled by Kiryuin Marina standing at the cashier. Strangely enough, Amane had seen Marina during the forest exam, but after the exam, Marina seemed to have vanished into thin air. Even the bakery had been handed over to Fujiwara-san, and Fujiwara-san didn't know where Marina had gone.

This led Amane to mistakenly believe that Marina had been persuaded to go back by the old man, and she was sad for a while. Unexpectedly, she met Marina again at the bakery a few months later, which made Amane very happy. However, after Amane exclaimed, Marina immediately communicated with Amane with her eyes.

Realizing that it was inconvenient to reveal Marina's identity at school, Amane quickly spoke up, understanding the situation perfectly.
