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

Nanase immediately agreed to the suggestion, and as soon as she was allowed free time, she couldn't wait to bring the tea bags and hot water she had bought, planning to take advantage of the fact that the sports festival was not over yet and that Amane had won a great victory in the tea ceremony competition to make a good profit... cough cough, let the students taste the champion black tea.

"Is this the kind of black tea that Miyako makes? It doesn't look like much... Oh well, give me a cup to try, and remember to add honey."

"No problem~ 200 points off, welcome back next time~"

As more and more students—I mean, those willing to be suckers—came to buy Champion Black Tea, Nanase was incredibly happy making money, until…

"Give me a drink too, on credit."

"Tianze Yixia!!! How dare you run a debt on credit? Pay me back the hundred ice creams you owe me right now!!"

This part of the story is difficult to divide into two chapters, so I'll combine them into one.

Chapter 275: The Game

As soon as Nanase saw Amasawa, she jumped out of the food cart and grabbed her arm, afraid that she would run away.

I finally managed to scam... and earn a hundred ice creams, how can they just disappear like that? I hadn't seen Amasawa Nanase much these past few days, so I hadn't paid much attention to this. But if Amasawa drags this out any longer, Nanase might just forget about it herself.

But just when Nanase was about to forget about the ice cream, Tianze appeared in front of her. If Tianze had been willing to fool Nanase, she could have pretended not to remember it, and everyone could have turned a blind eye.

To Nanase's utter surprise, Amasawa was incredibly unreasonable! Not only did he refuse to pay for the ice cream he owed her, but he also wanted to pay for her 200-point black tea on credit! Was he even human?!

So Nanase jumped out from behind the stroller and grabbed Amasawa's arm, afraid that Amasawa would slip away again when she wasn't paying attention.

He sighed helplessly as he looked at Tianze, who was clinging to his arm and refusing to let go.

"Hey, it's just a hundred ice creams, why are you going to such lengths?"

"Are you going to give me back my ice cream?"

"...Then you should hold him for now."

"..."

Nanase saw that Amasawa had started acting like a scoundrel, and her face had become quite round. She was determined that she would not give up until she got the ice cream from Amasawa.

Tianze shrugged and then began to examine Tianyin's food cart. Although it was just a portable food cart, it had a lot of kitchen utensils for processing and making food, and even an oven.

Tenon didn't use any of these things at noon, so Tenze guessed that he might be planning a big event tonight after the sports festival ended...

Barbecue? Looks like I'm in for a treat tonight...

Tianze couldn't help but smile as he thought about the barbecue Tianyin would make for him that night.

To Nanase, this scene resembled a devil's smile, which frightened her so much that she quickly let go of Amasawa's arm and hid back in the dining car.

"I'll let you off this time! Next time! Next time I'll definitely get my ice cream back!"

Knowing full well that Amasawa was full of bad intentions, Nanase forced herself to remain calm and pointed at Amasawa's nose.

Not knowing why Tianze had smiled, Nanase automatically assumed that Tianze was planning to bully her with some bad ideas. Knowing that she was only as cunning as a peanut and that she could never outsmart Tianze, Nanase decisively abandoned her plan to ask Tianze for the hundred ice creams he owed her.

But this action reminded Tianze.

'It's rare to run into such a fool; it would feel like something's missing if I didn't tease her a little.'

"Hey, are you sure you're not going to ask me for those ice creams?"

While searching for topics to keep talking to Nanase, Tianze's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings for any props she could use to tease Nanase. Finally, after searching for a while, Tianze's gaze fell on the black tea in front of Nanase.

"Hmph, you're talking like you'd give it to me if I asked."

Nanase pouted. She knew that Tensawa was excessively stingy. Last time, he said he would pay in installments. As a student in Class A, Tensawa had at least tens of thousands of personal points every month. Tenon would also give her some living expenses. All together, it was undoubtedly a considerable income.

But Tianze is like a miser, he won't spend a single penny!

Nanase, furious, had secretly made several attempts to inflict some kind of debuff on Amasawa.

"Look at your pitiful state, fine, I'll give you the points for one ice cream this time, and you can pay the rest in installments."

"Huh? You're actually being so kind?"

Nanase was somewhat skeptical of Amasawa's words. She found it hard to believe that the guy who was as stingy as a miser just a moment ago would actually return the ice cream he had promised her.

"Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, then we can talk about it next time..."

"want!"

Before Amasawa could finish speaking, Nanase happily agreed.

Although it's just the points for one ice cream, it's better than nothing. I can take the remaining 98 ice creams later.

Although Amasawa only paid back the price for one ice cream, it rekindled Nanase's hope that Amasawa would pay back the ice cream.

"Hey~ hey~ just scan here."

Tenze scanned the barcode that Nanase showed him and then transferred 1500 personal points to Nanase, which was the price of that expensive ice cream.

After confirming that 1500 personal points had been credited to her account, Nanase was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

"Great! We're finally getting some back, waaaaaah... As long as I work harder from now on, I'm sure I can get the rest back from that wicked woman..."

Hearing Nanase mutter that she still called her a bad woman, Amasawa couldn't help but smirk.

It seems I have no choice but to tease her this time.

"Alright, alright, don't get so touched. It's just the price of an ice cream. I'll pay you back little by little later. By the way, I'm planning to buy a few cups of black tea for my classmates. Can you give me a discount?"

As soon as Amasawa mentioned wanting to buy black tea, Nanase immediately showed a wary look.

"Small business, no credit!"

"I paid for it, but it's too expensive for a tea bag with some water and honey to cost 200. Can you give me a discount? We're old acquaintances, and it's not right to rip off your own people, is it?"

"That's true... Let me think about it..."

Nanase's price was already slightly higher than normal. It would be fine if she sold it to someone else, but Nanase felt a little embarrassed to sell it to someone she knew.

After some consideration, Nanase gave her latest offer.

"Then let's order 150 per cup. How many cups do you want, Xia?"

"Let's start with ten cups."

"Okay, then I'll give you another cup for free."

After Nanase finished speaking, she started packing black tea for Amaze, who immediately took a cup, stuck a straw in it, and drank it.

However, he looked displeased after taking only one sip of Tianze.

"Xiaoyi, this black tea is really awful! If I take it back for my classmates, who knows what they'll say about me behind my back. I don't mind if you earn some personal points, but it's a bit much to sell tea of ​​this quality."

Tenze pretended to be angry and slammed the black tea on the food counter of the food cart, which immediately made Nanase's momentum weaken a bit.

Nanase knew that the quality of the tea was generally average, but at least the taste was acceptable. However, when it came to an expert like Amasawa, it was impossible to fool him.

"I...I'm sorry, I just wanted to take advantage of Tianyin's winning fame to make some money, and besides, I also tried it out, so it's not unreasonable..."

"Acceptable? Ha! This shoddy product tastes like horse piss, and you still have the nerve to say the taste is acceptable!"

"Smith Marseille!!!"

Under Amasawa's angry rebuke, Nanase, who was already feeling guilty, instinctively chose to bow and apologize.

A smile quickly flashed across Amasawa's face when he saw Nanase bowing and apologizing.

"Hmph, if apologies were enough, what would be the point of having a disciplinary department? I'm going to report you, Xiaoyi, you heartless woman."

"Waaaaah, it's my fault! Ichika, please forgive me this once. I promise I'll change for the better!!"

Seeing that Amasawa was about to complain about her to the disciplinary committee, Nanase, a member of the student council, immediately panicked and quickly hugged Amasawa, begging for mercy.

After Nanase's persistent pleas, Amasawa finally changed his mind and decided not to report Nanase anymore.

"Forget it, I'm only doing this because I feel sorry for you. If anyone else knew you were trying to fool people with such awful-tasting black tea, they would have reported you long ago."

"I knew you were a kind girl, Ichika..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I can't take this kind of stuff back to fool my classmates. Can you return these eleven cups of tea for me? I won't take advantage of you, just give me a refund of 150 yuan per cup."

"Waaaaah, I've been misunderstanding you all this time. I never expected you to be so kind to me, Yixia... I'll treat you to ice cream next time!"

"We'll talk about next time later. Hurry up and replace this black tea. If someone reports you, you'll be in big trouble."

After looking at the 1650 personal points that Nanase returned, Tianze gave Nanase a word of advice and then turned and sped away.

"I'll pack everything up now. See you next summer~ I'll treat you next time... Huh?"

Watching Tianze's figure disappear quickly, Nanase felt that something was amiss.

"It seems... Ichika forgot to pay when she bought the black tea... Aaaaaaah!!! I've been tricked!!!! You bad woman, stop right there!! Waaaaaah!!"

When Nanase came to her senses and tried to chase after Amasawa, she found that Amasawa had already disappeared without a trace. Only then did Nanase notice that Amasawa had also taken her half-finished cup of black tea when he left.

The thought of how badly she had been bullied by Tianze, who then called her kind, made Nanase so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.

"What happened? I could hear your voice from far away, Xiaoyi..."

Amane had just finished cuddling with Shiina and was about to check on how Nanase's tea sales were going when she heard Nanase roaring from over a hundred meters away. Worried that Nanase was being bullied, Amane rushed over, but judging from the scene, it seemed that Nanase had already been bullied.

"Heavenly Sound!"

qaq

As soon as Nanase saw the tears welling up in Amane's eyes, they burst into tears. She then threw herself into Amane's arms, hugged her, and started crying loudly.

"Don't cry, don't cry. What happened? Tell me. Who bullied our Xiaoyi? I'll teach her a lesson."

"It's a bad woman...a bad, bad woman, she bullied me..."

When Nanase saw Amane say she wanted to avenge her, she quickly choked up and recounted what had just happened to Amane.

Amane was sweating profusely as she listened. After hearing Nanase's description of the whole process, Amane had only one question in her mind: how could Nanase have been so badly deceived?

Amane thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how Nanase had fallen for it. In the end, she could only conclude that Nanase was too naive.

What? Why isn't it Tianze who's cunning? With Tianze's limited skills, if he encountered Tianyin, he would have already subdued her.

How could anyone be so badly bullied like Nanase? Not only did she lose her ice cream money, but she also lost a cup of black tea and 150 personal points for nothing. The fact that she could lose money like this made Amane realize that it was a bit rash of her to let Nanase run the place by herself.

Honestly, Ichika has nothing better to do than come looking for her. Amane will make sure Ichika has plenty of things to do. It's so annoying that she comes to tease the clumsy and innocent Nanase.

"Okay, stop crying, or your eyes will get swollen."

Amane gently cupped Nanase's face and wiped away her tears.

Amane's intimate gesture brought two adorable blushes to Nanase's cheeks.

Although Nanase stopped crying after being coaxed by Amane, Amane knew from Nanase's pouting lips that it would be difficult for Nanase to forget about this matter in a short time.

Then we'll have to resort to that one move!

To divert Nanase's attention.

Amane leaned closer to Nanase's pouting lips, and then slowly pressed them against hers...

Nanase's big eyes widened, just like a cute puppy that had been frightened. However, after a brief moment of surprise, Nanase began to adjust her breathing to match the sound of the voice.

Until Tianyin took the initiative to end this brief ripple.

Are you feeling better now?

Tenon held the rosy-cheeked Nanase and whispered in her ear.

"It's alright... If Tianyin could kiss me again, maybe... maybe I would be happier..."

Nanase's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and when she realized she was too embarrassed to speak, she simply turned her burning face away, too ashamed to look at Amane.

"I'd be willing to kiss you a hundred times, let alone just once, as long as it makes you happy, Xiaoyi."

"Huh? A hundred times? And those mouths are all..."

After a brief intimate exchange, Amane held Nanase, who was limp in her arms, and whispered her next plan in her ear.

"A barbecue party? But I remember Tianyin, didn't you say you were going to treat me to a big meal tonight?"

Nanase looked up at Amane with a puzzled expression.

"A barbecue party is a big feast too, Xiaoyi, you'll make a killing off them then."

"Make a killing off them... then let me help out! I'm definitely not going to mess this up!"

With Nanase willing to act as free labor, Amane was naturally happy to see it happen.

After spending some more time with Nanase, Amane left the dining car and began to fulfill her promise to Nanase.

Teaching building.
