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

Kamuro was so frightened that she dropped the dough in her hand to the ground. Her face changed drastically. When she thought that this person was actually her junior and had great potential for growth in the future, Kamuro couldn't help but cover her eyes and couldn't bear to look at the terrifying scene anymore.

Tianze's expression was the most normal, but his lips were twitching slightly, which showed that he was a little frightened. Usually, when they were wearing school uniforms, Nanase and he seemed to be evenly matched, but once the school uniforms were off, the gap immediately widened. In addition, Nanase's cute appearance was a killer for both the opposite sex and the same sex.

Hearing the sound of someone swallowing saliva next to him, Tianze regretted launching this sneak attack. Wasn't this a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead?

Wait a minute...

Didn't I tell Nanase to wait for her at the door? Why did she go back to the dorm first... Something's not right.

"Yi, do you usually not wear clothes in the dorm?"

Tenze stared at Nanase with a slightly cold gaze.

While she was 'furious and embarrassed', Nanase noticed a change in Amasawa's gaze and expression, and her momentum involuntarily weakened. She didn't know if Amasawa had discovered something, and for a moment she felt a little guilty.

After all, this was the first time she had ever lied.

"I don't like to sleep in clothes! Tianyin can vouch for me! And! Turn off your camera right now!"

Only after Nanase reminded him did Amasawa realize that only she could turn off the camera, so he quickly shut down the horrifying image and hung up on Nanase as well.

Thinking back on today's impromptu plan to disrupt Tianyin's operation, Tianze felt that Nanase's behavior was a bit off. From Nanase's somewhat guilty reaction just now, it was clear that Nanase was hiding something.

Could it be... that she's the one who's been led astray?

Having witnessed such a shocking scene during their date, Kamuro lost interest in continuing. After baking several desserts with Amane and Amasawa, who had been dragged along as a laborer, he said goodbye and had to go home. Despite Amane's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Kamuro felt that the atmosphere was not quite right and declined Amane's offer, citing feeling unwell. Seeing that Kamuro was determined, Amane had no choice but to agree to Kamuro's request.

Compared to their leisurely arrival, the group walked quite quickly back to the dormitory. It wasn't that Kamuro didn't want to hold hands with Amane and stroll back slowly, but rather that a super-blind spot named Amaneze was clinging to Amane's arm and wouldn't let go.

Encountering such an embarrassing situation on their first date forced Kamuro to hurry back, hoping to end this disastrous date as quickly as possible.

"Today... thank you so much, Tianyin, for playing with me for so long... next time if..."

"Huh? You want a next time?"

Before Kamuro could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Amasawa, whose overbearing and oppressive aura made Kamuro unable to utter a word of anger. At this moment, Kamuro finally realized that the person standing in front of her, competing with her for food, was a monster of the same level as Sakayanagi, or rather, a monster whose danger far exceeded that of Sakayanagi.

Her red twin tails swayed in the wind, and her golden, beast-like eyes locked onto the girl named Kamuro Masumi through the last rays of the twilight.

The farewell was thus interrupted.

The scene became awkward for a moment.

"Yi Xia, you're talking too much."

Tenze, who was glaring angrily at the shrine, stiffened upon hearing Tenon's words.

Tianyin pulled her arm out of Tianze's arms and gently touched Shenshi's cheek.

"It's a shame that our date didn't go all the way. I was planning to take you out for steak... If we have the chance next time, I'll cook you a big meal myself as compensation."

Did Tianyin personally prepare this feast?

Kamuro was somewhat tempted, but with Amasawa watching from the side, Kamuro hesitated to agree.

But... Amane's expectant gaze made Kamuro also start to look forward to what that feast would be like. It should be even more delicious than the feast that Saka Ryu treated her to that day, right?

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Tianyin."

"No problem, leave it to me."

That concluded their conversation.

At this moment, both the atmosphere and the topic have reached the final stage.

bid farewell.

Kamuro raised her head. This was the first time she had seriously looked at Amane today. Although many people said that Amane's face was so cute that people would forget that she was actually a tiger that could bite when they got close to her, Kamuro thought that rather than being cute, she was like a magnet, with a magnetic magic that attracted those who admired and loved her to keep getting closer to carefully appreciate her face.

There's only one chance, so Kamuro doesn't want to leave any regrets.

He tiptoed and gently kissed Tianyin's lips.

"This is my first kiss that no one wanted, and I'm giving it to you, Tianyin. I don't have anything else to give you besides this... Ahhh, what am I even saying... Anyway... thank you so much for spending time with me today, Tianyin. See you in the classroom tomorrow..."

"Wait……"

Before Tenon could even reach out to stop Kamuro, she slammed the door shut, her face flushed.

"If you can't bear to part with it, I can pry the door open."

Tianze said with a hint of sourness.

Even though there's nothing particularly appealing about the Kamurocho, why does Amane like it?

"No need. I just wanted to tell Masumi that she has an exam tomorrow and that she shouldn't think too much tonight and should get some rest."

Tenon stared at the door for a while, then shook her head and walked towards Arisu's room on the same floor.

"Where do we go next? My room is upstairs, maybe..."

Before Tianze could finish speaking, a door opened on its own in front of the two of them.

"Welcome home, Tianyin, and Tianze too."

"I am back."

Tenon gently kissed Arisu's cheek before entering the entryway to change her shoes. Tenze hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to go inside or find an excuse to leave immediately.

"Tianze, please come in and have a seat. We haven't seen each other in a long time, and I have something I'd like to say to you."

Arisu smiled so gently, but Tenze felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was chilled.

"I still..."

"You can't refuse!"

Arisu gently tapped the ground with her cane.

When it comes to violence, ten Arisu wouldn't be a match for her, but having fought alongside Arisu, she knows that Arisu's greatest strength isn't her violence.

"Then I'll take my leave."

As soon as Tianze entered the house, she heard the sound of the door being locked from the inside. Instinctively, Tianze turned around to see what was happening, but Ayumi grabbed her chin.

"As Tianyin's pet, do you think I need to teach you what you should and shouldn't do? You don't actually think a 'pet's' duty is to offer up your body, do you? Do you know why Tianyin hasn't dated you until now?"

Arisu let out a silvery laugh.

"That's because you can't even be a good pet! I even thought you were part of the family, but it seems I overestimated you. Tianyin, she's in your care now. I'm going to stay with Lingyin tonight."

"Huh? I want to go too."

"You stay here and train your pet well. If you can't even train your own pet, I might have to reduce the number of your cute little girlfriends, okay?"

After Arisu finished speaking, under the fearful gaze of Amasawa, she used her cane to unlock the door and leave, then locked the door again from the outside.

"Wait... I know I was a little jealous... but it's because I wanted to see you so much, Tianyin... that's why I did this. I promise! I promise I won't do it again... Waaaaah..."

Tianze was forcibly silenced by Tianyin until she was completely limp and collapsed like a lump of mud before Tianyin gave her a chance to speak.

"Idiot, if Arisu wanted me to punish you, she would definitely watch me torture you from the sidelines, because she knows I'm the kind of person who's soft-hearted when it comes to girls. So guess why she locked you and me together?"

Tianze, who was a little short of oxygen due to the earlier silence, suddenly realized what was happening after hearing Tianyin's explanation.

She was so terrified by Arisu's appearance that she forgot to run away. Wasn't Arisu locking her up here just so that Amane could bully her?

Another trick.

As expected, Sakayanagi Arisu is Amane's favorite girl.

Since there's no way to escape anyway, why not...

"Arisu-senpai scared me so much I held back, Amane, what should I do?"

Her golden pupils were full of allure, her luscious red lips exuded a unique temptation, and the nimble little snake was flicking its scarlet tongue.

Tianze Yixia seemed to transform into a dangerous, beautiful serpent, clinging her entire body tightly to Tianyin.

Faced with this erotic scene, Tianyin licked her dry lips.

"Of course—I'll satisfy you."

Chapter 257: Maid Cafe

The first exam of the second semester of second grade was not too difficult for most students. Even Hui barely passed the mark without Tianyin's help, which gave Hui a false alarm.

However, it wasn't that Megumi's grades had declined, but rather that the class average was unexpectedly high this time. It's said that Kanzaki is quite good at tutoring students. With Kanzaki's and Katsuragi's encouragement and tutoring, even when Amane dragged Horikita away to play games, Class A still achieved quite good results.

But this monthly exam is just a minor episode; the real test is about to begin.

The class scores for October have been released.

Grade 2, Class A (Miyako Class): 2122 points

Grade 2, Class B (Sakayanagi Class): 1825 points

Grade 2 Class C (Ayanokoji Class): 995 points

Grade 2 Class D (Longyuan Class): 887 points

This ranking brought a certain degree of shock to the entire second grade.

First, Class A, led by Tianyin, became the first class in the school's history to break through 2100 class points.

This means that each student in Class A can earn a huge amount of personal points, 212,000 per month. If it is truly linked to currency on a one-to-one basis, this income is comparable to the monthly income of some professions. Even if you stay in Class A for a year and a half and want to cash it out after graduation, it is still a considerable sum of money.

Therefore, Kamuro and Ibuki were considered the two luckiest people in the special exam.

Kamuro and Ibuki were both speechless at the exaggerated number. Kamuro was alright, since her monthly personal income had never been less than 100,000 points. But Ibuki was in a much worse situation. When she was in Class C, she could only get between 50,000 and 80,000 personal points per month. This time, it had increased several times over, making Ibuki feel like she was dreaming.

When she saw that more than 200,000 personal points had been deposited into her account in the morning, she almost thought there was a system error.

Aside from the seemingly exaggerated class points and individual points of Class A in the first year, most people turned their attention to Class B.

In order to keep pace with Amane, Arisu chose to abandon someone. If it were just a simple abandonment of a bottom-ranked student, everyone could barely accept it. However, Hashimoto's withdrawal indicated that some irreconcilable conflict must have occurred in Class B. Otherwise, Arisu would never have sacrificed her hard-won deputy. Unfortunately, Arisu's ability and resources to control public opinion were far beyond what other students possessed. Arisu successfully used public opinion to buy herself time to quell the turmoil caused by Hashimoto's withdrawal. In the end, she once again united Class B under her command and prepared to launch a real challenge against Amane.

However, what this challenge is remains unknown. Even though Amane bullied Arisu repeatedly, she couldn't get any information out of Arisu, thus confirming that Arisu was truly determined to face her head-on.

Many people felt relieved after seeing that Class B and Class A still had a fighting chance. If Class A dominated and the competition became a foregone conclusion, some students from the lower-ranked classes might choose to give up early. In that case, even if there was a chance to turn things around later, the morale would be low and the best opportunity would be useless.

Besides the surprises and unexpected events brought by Classes A and B, the sudden rise of Class C has drawn attention to Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. It is said that he went to Class D because he broke up with Sato and caused chaos in Class A. However, Ayanokouji managed to integrate Class D, which had been in decline since Ichinose left, in a very short time.

Furthermore, by taking advantage of this opportunity, she climbed up to Class C. This outstanding performance made many people think that Ayanokouji was pretending to be weak while actually being strong, and they began to look forward to how many amazing performances Ayanokouji could bring to everyone. Some people even regretted that if Ayanokouji could have performed so well from the beginning, she would definitely have left a good record even in other classes.

But now that more than half of campus life has passed, it might be too late for a sudden surge in popularity.

Aside from the three classes mentioned above, the most baffling one is Class D. Long Yuanxiang, the class leader who is known as a tyrant, ruthless, and shameless, actually chose to deduct class points when it came to expelling a student and deducting class points.

If there's one class where dropping out wouldn't make you feel sorry for someone, it would probably be Longyuan Class. This is because a significant portion of the students in this class were at the bottom of the class in terms of both academic performance and physical ability—basically, they were just coasters.

Sacrificing one or two of these people to gain class points that they couldn't earn in three years seems like the right thing to do. But for some reason, Longyuan unexpectedly protected everyone in the class, resulting in a deduction of 200 class points. Even though they were rewarded with 50 class points for completing the questions within the allotted time, they were still deducted 150 points. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Longyuan's class, which already had very few class points.

However, half a month has passed, and Long Yuan has not explained his purpose to anyone. This unusual behavior has become the focus of attention for many people.

But for Class A, their minds were already on preparing for the cultural festival.

The sports festival will be held at the end of October, and the cultural festival will be held in early November. Since the competition rules and rewards for the cultural festival were announced long ago, everyone has assumed that the cultural festival is a special welfare exam from the beginning. The purpose is probably to promote the campus culture of the high school to the outside world, which is not only based on merit, but also to show that even if it is done badly, there will be no punishment.

It is precisely because of such reward and punishment rules that many classes gave up the cultural festival rewards from the very beginning, and instead focused on the high-intensity sports festival, which was considered by everyone to be designed to reduce class points.

The reason for this is that every time the school rewards a large number of class points, there are always some uncontrollable factors or extremely difficult special exams that reduce the class points of all classes. This time, Class A's class points have exceeded 2100 points, and the cultural festival is just another way to give away free points.

It's hard not to wonder just how difficult this sports festival is. What's most frustrating is that there are less than four weeks until the start of the sports festival, yet the school hasn't announced any competition events or reward/punishment measures related to the sports festival.

They didn't even provide a registration form, which made all the students extremely uneasy about the sports festival, so they devoted a lot of energy to preparing for it.

Only Class 2A completely ignored the sports festival and started researching what they needed to prepare for the cultural festival.

Because the school guarantees a minimum number of students will participate in the sports festival, the students in Class A are able to appear relaxed as the festival approaches.

However, this relaxed demeanor led other classes to mistakenly believe that Tenon was planning to create another sports festival disaster, severely damaging Tenon's reputation once again.

Meanwhile, Tianyin herself was having a rather unserious class meeting in Hui's dormitory.

"I've looked at this year's sports festival, and there really aren't any outstanding suggestions. I think everything, from food to haunted houses, is too cliché. There's a high chance of clashes with other shows, and there are a lot of troubles to prepare. For example, food and beverage establishments are prohibited from using open flames or coal and from making loud noises. As for drinks, they can't use fruits, cheese, or other ingredients whose safety cannot be confirmed... In other words, the only things that can be made are tea, milk tea, and coffee... So, food and beverage shops should definitely be the first to be rejected."

Horikita played through the proposals that others had provided her. Overall, they were not particularly outstanding, and the cost plan was a complete mess. Furthermore, the proposals failed to consider the various problems that restaurants might encounter, leading to their rejection.

"However, I think the theme of Chinese cuisine is very good. Chinese dishes are still very popular among students, and even if other restaurants exist, we can maintain our own characteristics. It's just that it's difficult to find chefs..."

While Panasonic wasn't particularly interested in restaurants, he thought Chinese food was a great subject. However, considering that Chinese cuisine is extremely difficult for high school students, he figured that if it were just something like Mapo Tofu, people probably wouldn't be interested. After all, it's unrealistic to expect important figures to sit down and eat a bowl of Mapo Tofu that would make them sweat profusely.

"The idea is great, but this restaurant is definitely a trap because it's competing on sales volume, not profit. If it were about profit, the profit margin for restaurants would generally be around 50%, and milk tea would be even higher. But the school's regulations are too strict, which means that the ingredients must be purchased on campus. I don't need to elaborate on the prices of ingredients on campus, right? The price of the food will naturally skyrocket, and ordinary students will not be able to afford it. Visitors will also not be interested in common cuisines. Western food, on the other hand, might be more appealing."

Horikita wrote "Western food" on a small blackboard next to him.

Western cuisine does not require open flames and mainly uses beef, so ensuring safety is relatively simple.
