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

Chapter 298: Bunny Girl

The sudden soft touch was gone before I could even fully appreciate it.

Tianze Yixia's gaze gradually turned resentful. Because they were not in the same grade, Tianze Yixia rarely had the opportunity to get close to Tianyin. Although compared to other girls, Tianze Yixia was considered to be one of the more outgoing and daring girls.

However, Tianze Yixia was still a little embarrassed to look for Tianyin as soon as school was over or during holidays. Usually, Tianze Yixia could only meet Tianyin occasionally by chance in the cafeteria or on the rooftop, and even then, they could only talk about daily life or class competition.

As for intimate contact, that's not something that can be shown in public.

Aside from having few opportunities to meet with Amane, Amane usually stays overnight in Horikita or Arisu's dormitories, and occasionally relaxes at Ichinose Kazue's place.

This is a 'privilege' that only girls who confess their feelings to Tianyin and are then accepted by her can receive.

Amane is also very close to Amasawa, Hayasaka, Nanase, Kushida, and Airi. However, Amane rarely chooses to stay overnight in their dormitory except in very rare cases. It's okay for her to stay overnight in the dormitory with Sakura Airi and Kushida Kikyo, who are in the same grade and class.

The two of them see Amane every day, and Airi spends most of her time by Amane's side. It's not hard for them to get close to her. Even Kushida, who rarely interacts with Amane's inner circle because of some unpleasantness with Horikita, can easily get close to Amane.

But this is obviously something that first-year students can only dream of. Hayasaka is very good at controlling her desires because of her personal reasons. Similarly, she approached Amane with a purpose from the beginning. After the two sides completed the exchange of benefits, Hayasaka adopted a "let it be" attitude and did not participate in the competition among the girls around Amane.

Therefore, among the first-year girls, Nanase Tsubasa and Amasawa Ichika are the only pair of rivals. Previously, Nanase Tsubasa followed a cool and aloof style, similar to Horikita Suzune at the beginning.

While such a personality might attract Tianyin, girls with this kind of personality are at a significant disadvantage in the competition for romantic relationships.

So even though Tianze Yixia saw Tianyin very rarely, the thought that there was another idiot in the same situation as him could comfort him to some extent.

But what Tianze Yixia never expected was that after being punished by Tianyin, Tianze Yixia seemed to have jumped directly from one extreme to another.

The aloof and cool Nanase Tsubasa is gone forever, replaced by the loyal and clingy Tsubasa who loves to stick to Amane.

This stark contrast shocked Tianze Yixia and made her feel an increasing sense of crisis.

Compared to Amasawa Ichika, who still cares a bit about saving face, Nanase is much more straightforward. She often says "I miss Amane" and even puts it into action, frequently going to Amane's place after school, without caring at all about what her classmates think of her.

As things progressed to this point, Tianze Yixia finally realized that in the end, she, the one who played the most wildly, had become the one furthest from Tianyin.

Since the sports festival, it had been a long time since Tianze Yixia had been intimate with Tianyin. He had just tasted a little sweetness, but he did not expect that Tianyin's rare gentleness would be fleeting.

Just as Tianze Yixia was about to complain in disappointment, a small head peeked out from between the two of them.

"Hehe! I caught it!"

Nanase happily held a lollipop in her hand and showed it off to Amane and Amaze Ichika.

When the two saw the lollipop in Nanase's hand, they both looked like they'd seen a ghost.

Especially Amane, she remembered spitting out the lollipop just now, but the lollipop in Nanase's hand obviously didn't look like it was picked up from the ground.

Did they really pick it up before it landed?

Just as Amane had expected, Nanase was squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, secretly watching Amane feed Amazawa Ichika a lollipop. But then she suddenly saw Amane spit out the lollipop. Thinking it was Amane's mistake, Nanase quickly grabbed the lollipop and was about to hand it to Amane so she could do it again.

Little did they know that this action interrupted Tianyin's plan to further explore Tianze Yixia.

"Hey? Why do you guys look so unhappy? I picked up your lollipops, can you perform that again for me? Ouch, you bad woman! Let go! Let go right now! My ears are going to fall off, Tianyin, save me..."

Nanase was about to ask Amane to perform the scene of feeding Amazawa Ichika again, but Amazawa Ichika grabbed her ear and dragged her to the corner of the store.

After carefully confirming that Amane had no intention of following to eavesdrop, Amasawa Ichika released his grip on Nanase's ear.

When Nanase saw that Amasawa Ichika had finally let go of her, she quickly reached out to rub her ears. Unlike Amane, she didn't have the passive skill of ignoring pain.

Just as Nanase was wincing in pain, Amasawa Ichika grabbed her collar again, glaring at Nanase with a fierce expression.

"You'll find an excuse to leave here in a bit, understand?"

"Huh? What are you saying, you bad woman?"

"Stop playing dumb with me! You were clearly doing that on purpose, weren't you?"

Nanase, who had looked pitiful just a moment ago, put away her aggrieved expression. After handing the lollipop to Amasawa Ichika, she tidied her hair, which had been pulled by Amasawa Ichika, and put on a half-smile, but did not say anything to defend herself.

She did want Tianyin to demonstrate the intimate gesture of feeding her a lollipop again, but the person being fed shouldn't be Tianze Yixia, who was imitating her.

"Tell me, what conditions will it take for Tianyin to give me its present status?"

Ichika Amaze glanced at the time; it was already close to four o'clock. They had enough time to stroll around a bit more, watch a movie, and have dinner. Although Amane had said she was taking the two of them out for fun, it was practically a date for Nanase and Ichika Amaze.

Since they've already treated this trip as a date, both of them naturally hope that they'll be the ones dating Tianyin. Besides, what kind of talk is it to have a third wheel following you on a date with your loved one?

So whether it's Nanase or Amasawa Ichika's playful fighting over their clothes, it's actually a constant competition, an attempt to disgust the other by using their intimate behavior with Amane, ultimately forcing the other to give up.

However, from the moment she stepped into the Beechwood Shopping Center, Amasawa Ichika had already lost to Nanase, who didn't care about saving face. Because she was too embarrassed to interact intimately with Amane in public, she had already fallen behind in this date.

The only chance to turn things around was when Amane suddenly wanted to kiss her, but even though the opportunity had been delivered to Amaze Ichika's lips, Nanase easily ruined it, which made Amaze Ichika very dissatisfied but helpless.

If the two of them argue in front of Tianyin, not only will the date be ruined, but it may also leave a bad impression on Tianyin. They don't know when they will be able to get Tianyin to take them out on a date again. Therefore, the two of them hope to peacefully resolve their rivalry so that they can achieve their goal of dating Tianyin alone.

At the very least, it's a superficial peace.

"Conditions? Yixia, what kind of conditions do you think would sway me?"

Nanase changed her way of addressing Amasawa Ichika from "bad woman" to "Ichika-kun". While it might seem like a more intimate way of addressing her, it's actually the opposite. Nanase used to call Amasawa Ichika a bad woman, which was more like an affectionate nickname. Now that she's called Ichika-kun, it's actually a more formal way of addressing her.

Amazusa Ichika raised an eyebrow. She noticed that Nanase's way of addressing her had changed, but she didn't care about such trivial matters. As a former top student of the White House, Amazusa Ichika knew one thing well: no matter what the process was, as long as the result was right, that was enough.

Ichika Amasawa seriously considered what price would be required to make Nanase give up this date.

First of all, Nanase is different from her. She usually likes to go and play with Amane. Even if Arisu and others take away her dating opportunities, as long as Nanase asks Amane to go on a date, Amasawa Ichika judges that Amane will most likely agree. So for Nanase, this date is just a matter of changing the date time.

"How about 100,000 points? I know your Class D in the first year hasn't had any income for several months, and you're also short on personal points. If you're careful with your spending, 100,000 points shouldn't be a problem to get by for three to five months."

Tianze Yixia chose the simplest and most direct method.

Pay up!

Rather than appealing to emotions or trying to persuade Nanase with words, Amasawa Ichika believes more in the allure of personal points, or 'money'.

However, Nanase did not show any surprise after hearing the conditions offered by Amasawa Ichika.

Instead, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

"That's right, I am short of money, but I have no worries about food and drink and no personal expenses. Personal points are irrelevant to me. Not having personal points is just a good way to hone my ability to resist external temptations."

So, I'm sorry to say that the conditions you offered, Xia, don't allow me to give up today's date."

Nanase's answer made Amazawa Ichika frown. As someone who had observed Nanase's lifestyle and way of doing things, Amazawa Ichika knew very well that what Nanase said was true.

Even the mountain vegetable set meal that everyone at school dislikes can be eaten with relish by Nanase, and unlike other students, she doesn't show any fear or embarrassment. In terms of her ability to control her material desires, Amasawa Ichika is ashamed of himself.

However, apart from personal points, Amazawa Ichika couldn't think of anything he could offer Nanase that could move her. As time ticked by, Amazawa Ichika grew increasingly anxious and finally had to ask Nanase again what she wanted.

"So what do you want? It would be better if we were more open and honest. If we talk alone for more than five minutes, Tianyin will become suspicious, so we must resolve everything within this remaining time."

"That's a reasonable assessment, and I think so too. However, I don't need anything, and I don't intend to give up my date with Tianyin. I'm sure my answer will disappoint you, Yixia. But you should have already anticipated the possibility of me giving this answer and prepared for what to do next. In that case, I don't think there's anything to talk about between us, is there?"

Nanase chuckled softly, then turned and left around the corner. The instant she stepped out of the corner, Nanase reverted to her innocent and adorable self.

Tianze Yixia was left standing there with a gloomy expression, watching the petite figure in the distance who was snuggling in Tianyin's arms and acting coquettishly.

"Honestly, why do you have to steal even this kind of opportunity from me? Nanase... then let me see who is more important to Amane."

Tianze Yixia smoothed her hair and walked out from around the corner.

Tianyin didn't ask what the two were whispering about. After all, the reason they were communicating in private was that it was inconvenient for Tianyin to hear it. So, no matter how much she pressed, she would only get ambiguous or false answers.

It might even make everyone feel awkward in the end. To avoid such a situation that ruins the atmosphere, the best way to handle it is to pretend you don't know. As long as you don't care about what they say, you won't become curious.

"So, Xiaoyi and Yixia, where do you want to go next? To be honest, we've basically explored everything around the Beech Tree Shopping Center. Even if we keep going, we're unlikely to find anything new..."

Just as Tianyin was about to say that there was no way she could find any new entertainment facilities at the Beech Tree Shopping Center, she saw that a large area of ​​shops that were originally empty on this floor were now covered up and seemed to be under renovation. However, from the entertainment props placed outside, Tianyin came to an answer that even she herself couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Is the school about to introduce a casino?

The tables placed outside are an obvious signal, but is it really okay to have something like this in a school? Hopefully, Chairman Sakayanagi got permission before deciding to have something like this in a high school.

If it were just a casino being introduced into a high school, Amane would only find it a bit outrageous, but it wouldn't have much to do with her. However, just as Amane was about to leave, a woman who came out of the changing room next door made Amane's eyes widen.

The woman was wearing a strange outfit and seemed a little uncomfortable wearing it for the first time. After all, not everyone can pull off such a unique outfit as a bunny girl on their first try.

However, if she only found a girl dressed as a bunny girl, Tianyin would at most take a few photos as a souvenir while being curious, and would not be too surprised.

But what surprised her this time was that she happened to know the woman dressed as a bunny girl.

"Tea Pillar Teacher?"

Chapter 299: The Gamble

Chabashira Sae looked at her clothes with some trepidation. As a teacher, she generally felt that it was inappropriate to wear revealing or symbolic clothing in any setting, whether it was a formal occasion or a private one, except for her teacher's uniform.

Not to mention that she changed into this outfit not because she liked it, so there's no question of her having any freedom of dress.

Just as Chabashira Sae was considering whether to decline the offer, she heard someone calling her name from behind.

Chabashira Sae was completely unprepared for this unexpected situation. Her body, which was already stiff from nervousness, became even more tense the moment she heard her name called.

And the worst part is!

Even without turning around, Chabashira Sae could guess who the voice belonged to.

As the footsteps behind her grew closer, Chabashira Sae sighed resignedly and turned around.

"Miyako-kun, is there something you need from me?"

Amane wasn't too surprised by Chabashira Sae's aloofness.

To be honest, because of what I did to Chabashira Sae last time, and even forced her to wear a maid outfit and become the manager of the maid cafe, even though my original intention was still to contribute to the class, at least that's what Amane thought, it's only natural that her overly brutal methods were not accepted by others.

Not to mention that the other party is her own class teacher, and Tianyin can accept it if the other party throws a tantrum at her.

However, more curious than the cold reception she received from Chabashira Sae was why Chabashira Sae was dressed as a bunny girl in front of an unopened shop in Keyaki Shopping Center.

Could it be that Teacher Chabashira has some strange hobby? Or is it some kind of side job?

It's no wonder Tianyin had such thoughts. Anyone who saw their teacher dressed as a bunny girl standing outside a shop would inevitably start to think in strange ways; it's only human nature.

However, before Amane could even ask about it, Nanase, who was still sucking on a lollipop, asked the question for her.

"You must be Mr. Chabashira... I remember you were the homeroom teacher for Class 2-A. Why are you dressed like this? Could it be... you're doing a part-time job?"

As soon as Nanase spoke, Amasawa Ichika quickly nudged Nanase with his elbow.

If Chabashira-sensei is indeed working part-time to earn extra money, Nanase's question would undoubtedly embarrass him, and he might even get angry or take it out on Amane.

"Why are you talking back to me, you bad woman..."

Nanase rubbed the spot where she had been pressed, looking completely bewildered, and asked.

Upon seeing Nanase's brain shut down again, Amasawa Ichika chose to give up.

Fortunately, Chabashira Sae wasn't doing any inappropriate part-time work as they had imagined.

"I'm not doing this part-time; the school just needs someone to play this role, so I had to come here..."

Chabashira Sae didn't know how to explain for a moment, so she could only try to explain to the three people in front of her with a rather vague explanation.

Little did she know that none of the three people in front of her were easy to deal with.

Originally, Chabashira Sae could have simply explained the situation normally and the three people in front of her would have understood. However, Chabashira Sae chose a way of covering up the truth, and the three people, including Amane, blushed slightly after hearing Chabashira Sae's explanation.

"The school's higher-ups are really... utterly despicable!"

Tianze Yixia spoke with a look of disgust, mocking him.

Nanase, who was right behind her, nodded quickly as well.

"That's right! This time I support the bad woman! A teacher's duty is to educate and nurture students, but it's utterly shameless that the school's higher-ups would target these teachers!"

Unlike Amazusa Ichika and Nanase, who were filled with righteous indignation, Amane was muttering words about role-playing to herself.

At first, Chabashira Sae was a little confused. She didn't understand why Amasawa Ichika and Nanase Tsubasa had such strong opinions about the school's higher-ups, even though the school had arranged things well.

It wasn't until Chabashira Sae saw Amane's somewhat malicious gaze that she suddenly realized what was going on.

"Wait a minute! It's not what you think! I wasn't subjected to any unspoken rules; it was just part of my job."

As soon as Chabashira finished explaining, she couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead. Her explanation was tantamount to adding legs to a snake, and now no matter how she explained, these people would probably find it hard to believe her.

"Such a horrible thing is part of the job? How outrageous! Don't worry, Chabashira-sensei! I will... I'll get justice for you! Those bad guys will definitely be brought to justice! Right, I'll get justice, I'll get justice for you ...

Nanase initially wanted to say that she would help Chabashira-sensei get justice, but after briefly analyzing the comparison of her strength with the school's higher-ups, Nanase realized that she was still slightly inferior to them. So she could only ask Amane for help, since Amane, being a helpful person, should not refuse such a thing.

However, when Nanase looked at Amane, she noticed that Amane was repeatedly saying something about bringing someone to justice...

"That's why I've already said that this isn't what you think."

Seeing that things might be developing in a direction she couldn't predict, Chabashira Sae quickly explained the situation to the others.
