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

Just as Amane was about to greet them, Chabashira-sensei, who appeared from the group, pulled her aside and whispered a reminder in her ear.

"These people are all important political figures invited by the school to watch the sports festival. Tianyin, you must restrain yourself and not act recklessly like last time..."

Looking at the nervous-looking Chabashira-sensei, Amane blinked innocently.

"They're just some foreign guests, right? Don't worry, I can handle them. But when have I ever done anything inappropriate to them? I don't remember doing anything like that at all."

Tianyin recalled that since coming to this school, she really hadn't had any contact with those so-called 'big shots,' and hadn't even met them, so how could she have done anything reckless?

Chabashira stared into Amane's eyes for a while, and after realizing that Amane seemed to have no recollection of it, Chabashira decided to give up on bringing it up.

Last year, an old man asked her about Tianyin's situation. Chazhu had just praised Tianyin as a smart, well-mannered, friendly, gentle and virtuous girl.

As a result, Amane immediately launched an unstoppable attack at the Sports Festival. Just looking at the list of more than a hundred injured students afterward, Chabashira-sensei felt that his teaching career was over.

After all, with nearly a third of the students injured in a school with fewer than 480 students, Mr. Chabashira wondered if he might be imprisoned as well.

Fortunately, for some reason, the school did not pursue the matter. It is estimated that the sports festival was so badly organized that the school was ashamed to hold the teachers accountable.

What? It seems there weren't that many people chasing and intercepting Tianyin back then?

That's a question for Tianyin herself.

When she fights, she likes to throw people into the most crowded places, which leads to many people who come to help the students being accidentally injured by Amane's "unexpected disasters". This is why such an exaggerated ratio occurred. It was because it was so exaggerated that after the sports festival incident, Chabashira-sensei wrote her resignation application, intending to say goodbye to her teaching career and leave with regret.

Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough not to be held accountable by the school for her role as a class advisor, but this time it's different.

Last time, Tianyin might have indirectly brought a visual shock to those important figures, but this time it's close contact. If Tianyin were to give these important figures a physical tactile shock as well, then she probably wouldn't be able to escape this time.

"Teacher Chazhu, don't worry. Don't you trust me to handle things?"

Amane winked and gave Chabashira a thumbs up. Seeing Amane's confident look, Chabashira was both amused and exasperated. If it were only the first half of her statement, Chabashira would have been able to relax, but now... Chabashira-sensei's feelings were somewhat complicated.

After finishing their conversation, Amane and Chabashira walked straight towards the middle-aged man in a suit at the front of the line, who was patiently watching Amane and Chabashira whisper to each other.

"And this is...?"

The secretary next to the middle-aged man was about to speak when she was stopped by the middle-aged man behind her.

"do you remember me?"

The middle-aged man approached Tianyin and asked in a gentle tone with a smile.

When the middle-aged man asked her question, Tianyin couldn't help but inwardly scoff. There was no way she could possibly know him.

Since returning to the Miyako family and receiving comprehensive education and training from them, the only outsiders that Amane has been able to come into contact with are Sakayanagi Arisu, Kiryuin Fuka, and Sakayanagi Narimori (Arisu's father), whom she has only met a few times, as well as the Horikita family. Amane has only met other people once at most, and how could such important figures speak to her in such a gentle tone?

Therefore, judging from the other party's attitude, Tianyin deduced that the other party must know the old man, and that they must have a very good relationship. Otherwise, the other party would probably just be nicer to her at most. As for the arrogance of a superior in his bones, it would be impossible to hide it without revealing any flaws in a short period of time.

However, the middle-aged man opposite Tianyin did not show any arrogance of a superior in her eyes, so the answer was almost obvious: the other party was a member of the old man's faction and had most likely seen or knew that she was studying at this school.

So... does that mean that the old man will ask him to come and visit him after he learns of his schedule?

Tianyin's brain was working at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, a smile appeared on her face as well.

"Of course I remember, but I didn't expect you to arrive so much earlier than Grandpa said."

"Oh? So Prime Minister Miyako had already told you about this beforehand? I thought he was going to give you a surprise..."

The middle-aged man chuckled halfway through his sentence, then patted Tianyin's head.

"You are still as clever as you were when you were a child, but you are much more mischievous now. It has been twelve years since we last met. You were only four years old then, so it's normal that you don't remember me."

As an adult, I didn't consider this point and instead allowed you to extract important information from me. I'm truly ashamed. No wonder my master always told me to observe more, learn more, do more, and speak less. I've lived to a ripe old age and only now understand this principle. I've learned my lesson.

Seeing the middle-aged man bowing to the little girl in front of him, everyone behind him froze in place. The situation became awkward. As the person with the highest status among those present, if Onijima bowed and the others did not follow suit, it would clearly indicate that there was something wrong with their thinking.

The real problem is that they couldn't understand what the two people were saying at all.

But it is often at this moment that one’s excellence as a politician becomes apparent.

"Prime Minister Miyako's wisdom is truly astounding; I have learned a great deal from him."

Onishima's secretary immediately sensed the thoughts of the people behind him, so she calmly responded to Onishima's words and brought up Prime Minister Miyako.

In this way, people will feel that Oni Island is paying tribute to Prime Minister Miyako from afar, so why can't they do the same?

It avoids the embarrassment of being an old man lecturing a young girl, and also avoids the blame for saying the wrong thing—it's a win-win situation.

Then, as if they had rehearsed it, everyone behind him bowed slightly and said in unison.

"Been taught a lesson."

The unified words of dozens of high-ranking officials shocked even Tianyin, who was standing nearby, let alone the students in the distant stands and the school's board members and administrators behind the crowd.

In particular, the school's high-ranking officials immediately followed suit, each one afraid that their voices were too soft for the important figures in front to hear their loyalty, yet also afraid that their voices were too loud and would disturb the equally important figures in front of them, who could dismiss them with a single glance. Their cautious and comical appearance made people want to burst out laughing.

"Now let me reintroduce myself. I am Onishima, a student of Prime Minister Miyako. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Onishima. My father died when I was young. When I was struggling in the political world, it was Prime Minister Miyako who gave me a hand and started teaching me how to survive in this world. Without a doubt, he is like my father to me. So I have always treated and respected Prime Minister Miyako as my father."

Ghost Island displayed immense respect for the old man in every gesture, and those accompanying him, whether feigning or genuinely agreeing, wiped their eyes, seemingly moved by the almost father-son-student-like affection in the political arena.

Only Tianyin's eyes were exceptionally clear.

Ghost Island's words were nine parts truth and one part falsehood. With just a few words, he easily stirred up the atmosphere of the scene. His management of words and expressions was masterful. He had a strong ability to influence others with emotions, and his every move still showed leadership qualities.

all in all.

This is a true monster with an extremely strong personal charisma.

Out of the corner of his eye, Onishima glanced at Tenon's reaction. Seeing Tenon's longing expression, but with eyes that were just like Prime Minister Miyako's, the image of Miyako Kunihiro flashed through Onishima's mind for a moment, which made Onishima's expression stiffen slightly.

It's like how someone in a superior position looks at a child performing a stage play and finds it childish while also being a little curious.

'What act will you perform next to please me?'

However, Guidao quickly adjusted his emotions. After all, he was an old turtle who had been in this industry for twenty years, so he was not really going to be scared by a child like Tianyin.

"Then I'll call you Uncle Onishima. Uncle Onishima, did you come to our school to watch the sports festival?"

"That's right. Because some rather shocking things happened at the last sports festival, I was asked to temporarily take over the education and management work. As the founder of this school, I came here to see what went wrong. It just so happens that the sports festival is happening, so I can finally take this opportunity to relive my youthful days on campus. Don't let my current appearance fool you, I used to be a key player in the school's soccer club! Hahahaha."

Ghost Island spoke in a relaxed tone, and the people behind him all laughed along in good-nature.

After learning that the other party had no particular purpose, Tianyin felt relieved.

"That's quite a coincidence. This year's school sports festival might be quite exciting because there are many talented first-year students participating."

"Really? Then let me enjoy watching the future pillars of the nation perform at the sports festival. By the way... if I remember correctly, Amane, you should be very good at physical sports, but judging from your outfit, you don't seem to want to play. Could it be that your match has been scheduled for the afternoon?"

Onijima looked at Tenon with some curiosity. Tenon's school uniform, which was completely out of place with the sportswear worn by everyone else, didn't look like she was going to compete at all. Not to mention there was a breakfast cart behind Tenon. Onijima would believe Tenon if she said she was there to do business.

"Well..."

If it were any other question, Tianyin could explain it easily, but the question about Ghost Island was really difficult for her to answer.

If Amane were to tell Onishima that she was banned from participating in the sports festival, then Ms. Fujiwara and Chairman Fujiwara might encounter some trouble afterward. However, it would be useless not to tell Onishima the truth, because there are many people in this school who want to curry favor with Onishima, and someone will definitely tell Onishima the truth.

That would make it seem like Amane and Oni Island were lying because they didn't trust him.

What should I do?

Amane encountered a tricky problem for the first time. Just as Amane was considering whether to just say it directly and explain what happened last time, she believed that as the second-in-command of the faction, Onishima could not possibly be unaware of the risks of sending her to the sports festival. As long as Onishima put himself in her shoes, he would understand Fujiwara's situation and at most reprimand her afterward.

However, since Chairman Fujiwara is about to resign from his position, he probably won't care too much about this...

Just as Tianyin was about to put her plan into action, she suddenly thought of a better excuse.

"I didn't sign up for the regular competitions, but the school arranged a special competition for me, which seemed to be just to show off to you guys on Ghost Island. I had to compete against the best from eight clubs, so I naturally didn't have the energy to focus on the regular competitions."

After listening to Amane's explanation, Onishima nodded in agreement. According to the information on the invitation, the sports festival of Gaoyu was only one day long. Although it might be to make the continuous events more effective, it was undoubtedly a test of physical strength and energy for the students.

If you're going to be competing against students from eight different clubs who are proficient in a particular skill, it's really not a good idea to waste your energy on small, ordinary competitions.

"I see. Then I'll bring all my colleagues to support you, Tianyin. It'll be a good opportunity for me to witness the splendor of the 'Miyako family's phoenix' soaring through the skies again after so many years."

"Thank you for your praise, Uncle Ghost Island. I will do my best to live up to this title."

"Hahaha, don't put too much pressure on yourself, just perform normally. But this nickname wasn't given to you by me. It was when Prime Minister Miyako held your hand and introduced you to me back then, he said, 'Onigashima, come and see! This is our Miyako family's phoenix, Miyako Amane. Look how cute she is!' At that time, Prime Minister Miyako couldn't stop smiling. Even I had never seen him smile so happily before."

As Onishima spoke, a look of longing appeared on his face. Compared to other politicians, Onishima was definitely an anomaly. He never gave a second glance to either money or beauty. Even when Kunihiro Miyako tried to set him up with someone, he refused. Therefore, he was called a man whose only concern was power.

But precisely because of this, Ghost Island is already over fifty years old and still hasn't married or had children, which is quite rare in political circles and has even become a laughing stock.

However, Onigashima himself doesn't care about those rumors at all.

Because in two years, Kuninori Miyako will retire completely, and those ants in the wilderness have been suppressed by him to the point that they can't even raise their heads. He only needs to live well to step onto the throne that everyone dreams of.

Before sitting on this throne, his heart will not be swayed by anything material or spiritual.

This is the monster of the political world who could crush Ayanokoji Atsuomi like an ant, causing him to be forced into exile overseas and only able to return home after writing a letter of repentance to Onigashima. He could even tell Amane's father that he would teach him a lesson in how to be a decent human being in place of Miyako Kuninori.

Oni Island is truly fixed.

……

"Tianyin, are you really planning to go all out against those club students?"

After seeing off the foreign guests who had gotten dozens of cups of coffee from Amane for free, Teacher Chabashira patted his chest and asked Amane in a strange tone if he was serious about what he had just said.

Although the idea of ​​eight specially challenged club experts sounds impressive, everyone knows the skill level of those eight people. They can easily handle ordinary students, and even some experts.

But when it comes to competing with the all-out effort of Amane... Teacher Chabashira is already considering whether to ask the school to let the ambulance wait on the side.

"I wouldn't say I'll go all out, but this time I'll have to be a bit more serious. Uncle Onishima even praised me using the old man's words. If I don't show some dazzling skills, wouldn't I be letting down the old man's praise of me as the 'Phoenix of the Miyako Family'? Just hearing that title makes people a little embarrassed, doesn't it? Honestly, can't the old man be a little more modest when he praises someone? Although..."

"I like this title very much too."

Tenon's aura suddenly changed. Just as Chabashira felt something was wrong, the strange feeling he had sensed from Tenon vanished without a trace. This led Chabashira to mistakenly believe that it was just a psychological illusion and he didn't pay much attention to it.

"That's true. They've praised you so much, so if you don't show some skill, they'll definitely look down on you. But Tianyin, you need to control your strength. Those people are your seniors or juniors, so go easy on them."

That's all Ms. Chazhu can do. As for whether Amane will really show mercy, that's none of her business. She has already fulfilled all the responsibilities she should have as a class advisor.

"Don't worry, I'm always very careful with my actions~ Hehe~"

Very tactful?

Teacher Chashu rolled her eyes at Amane. She had noticed that Amane was becoming increasingly shameless lately, even saying things like she was very measured in her actions. If she really was measured, she wouldn't have beaten her younger brother so badly that he had to stay in bed for a month to recover.

I'll trust you this once.

After saying that, Teacher Chabashira lifted her leg to follow the group and leave, but Amane grabbed her wrist first.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, have you forgotten something important?"

Amane winked at Chabashira-sensei with an expectant look.

"Important matter? Could I please have a cup of coffee?"

"Okay... no! That's not it! Teacher Chabashira, you promised me..."

Amane puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and glared fiercely at Teacher Chaba.

"What did I promise you? I don't know anything about it."

Somewhat guiltily, Teacher Chabashira avoided Amane's gaze and walked to Amane's stall, taking a small sip of coffee.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, you know very well what you promised. Humph, it's not very gentlemanly of you to go back on your word like this."

"Speaking of which, Hoshinomiya often says that I'm a child, so adult manners and such aren't very important to me."

Tea Pillar Teacher's words made Amane so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.

She's usually the one who throws tantrums, but today she's met someone even more shameless—an adult who doesn't even keep promises made to a child!

How can there be such a shameless person in the world?

"Even if you're angry, it's useless. You have no proof that I promised you anything, so... what can you do to me if I want to renege on my promise? Miyako Amane, you still have a lot to learn, the road ahead... um..."

Teacher Chabashira stared wide-eyed in surprise.

The face that had been full of displeasure, like someone owed her money, appeared in front of her the next second, and...

The gentle touch of the nose sent a jolt through Chabashira Sae's body, as if she had been electrocuted. Every pore on her body trembled, though Chabashira Sae was unaware of it.

I'm not sure if it's fear or...

excited.

There was a whooshing sound in her ear just now, but Chabashira Sae was too busy to pay attention to the source of the sound.

In Chahashi Sae's eyes, time seemed to flow at a speed hundreds of times slower. Amane's amethyst-like eyes were gradually enlarging, enlarging, and enlarging again in Chahashi Sae's pupils. That mysterious feeling lured Chahashi Sae to get closer and closer and closer to them...

Gradually, Chabashira Sae noticed a blurry figure inside the mysterious purple gemstone.

Out of curiosity, Chabashira held her breath and strained her eyes to see the blurry figure.

Finally, thanks to Chabashira Sae's efforts, she was able to see the figure in Amane's pupils clearly: a mature woman in professional attire being passionately kissed by a girl in a school uniform.
