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

“I have a few friends who will be here soon. I just want to reserve seats in advance. Can you confirm these seats for me first, and then enter the ticket purchaser's real name information when my friends arrive? Look, the personal points have already been paid, so these seats are mine now. I'm here and won't run away, so please issue the tickets first.”

"...Okay, I'll issue you the ticket right away."

The ticket seller initially thought that Tian Ze Yixia's way of buying tickets was a bit unreasonable, but under Tian Ze Yixia's aura, the ticket seller instinctively sensed that this girl was not someone to be trifled with, so she quickly printed out six consecutive movie tickets for Tian Ze Yixia.

Holding the movie tickets in her hand, Amazusa Ichika felt much better. Since her date was ruined today, then Chabashira-sensei and Amane's date wouldn't be any better. She refused to believe that Chabashira-sensei could remain indifferent if Arisu and the others saw this scene. No matter how shameless Amane was, she couldn't possibly defend Chabashira-sensei in front of Arisu.

This is what happens when you try to steal something!

Just as Amasawa Ichika was smugly waiting for Arisu's arrival, Horikita was playing Go with Arisu in her room.

Since the game was Go, which Horikita wasn't very good at, Arisu had almost completely controlled the situation. Seeing that losing the game was only a matter of two or three moves, Horikita had no choice but to resign.

"I concede defeat. I didn't expect to fail at the last moment. Arisu, your Go skills should be about the same as Amane's by now, right?"

Although Go is not a sport that Horikita is particularly good at, it is still far beyond the level of ordinary people. Even Horikita Manabu from back then is probably no match for Horikita Suzune now. However, she was still so naive in front of Arisu. She was led by the nose the whole time. She finally had a chance to turn the tide, but she still lost in the end. This made Horikita feel extremely regretful.

"This is nothing. My skill level is about 30/70 compared to Tianyin's. I'm 30 and she's 70. It's just that that girl often lets me win by the same amount as she loses, so I don't play Go with her. But Lingyin, your Go skills have improved recently. It seems that it won't be long before you get your first win against me."

Arisu smiled and picked up her coffee, just about to take a sip, when she heard a series of rapid knocks on the door.

For a moment, both of them had black lines on their faces. Horikita silently stood up and walked straight towards the door.

Horikita knew without a doubt who would be knocking on Arisu's door like that.

So the moment the door opened, Horikita expertly grabbed at the other person's ahoge (cowlick).

Hmm? Something feels off about the feel of it?

"Sakayanagi-senpai... Eh? Horikita-senpai? Isn't this Sakayanagi-senpai's dorm?"

Nanase peeked into the room, and only relaxed when she saw Arisu drinking coffee.

Thankfully, I didn't go to the wrong place.

"By the way, Horikita-senpai, why did you grab my hair?"

After Nanase reminded her, Horikita quickly let go.

"I'm sorry, Nanase-san, I thought it was Amane who came back. Are you here to see Arisu? Please come in."

Horikita had just put Nanase inside when Nanase changed her shoes and rushed from the entrance to Arisu.

"Oh, it's Xiaoyi. Would you like some coffee? The ones I grind myself taste pretty good."

"Sakayanagi-senpai, something terrible has happened!!"

Nanase's words immediately stunned Horikita and Arisu.

"Something happened to Tianyin?"

Arisu stood up and reached for her cane, but Horikita quickly helped her up and handed the cane to her. Arisu gripped the cane tightly, her gaze sharpening. The two of them stared intently at Nanase, waiting for her next move.

But when Nanase saw the two of them looking like that, she immediately realized that she might have exaggerated a bit, so she quickly explained the whole story to them.

When Arisu heard that the terrible thing Nanase mentioned was that Amane was on a date with someone else, he immediately sat down.

"I thought it was something serious. It's just watching a movie. How can you and Tianze be so sure that Chabashira-sensei and Amane have the kind of relationship you're speculating about?"

Arisu may not care about Chabashira-sensei's matter, but as a student in Class 2-A, this matter involves the class leader and homeroom teacher of Class 2-A. Horikita cannot deal with such an important matter carelessly.

"Going to the movies is normal, but who would take their homeroom teacher, dressed as a bunny girl and wearing a prom mask, to the movies?"

Nanase's words also silenced Horikita.

On the contrary, when Arisu heard that Chabashira-sensei was wearing a bunny girl outfit, she became interested and asked Nanase to describe in detail what a bunny girl outfit was like. Judging from her enthusiastic appearance, Horikita felt that Arisu seemed to want to buy one herself.

After describing the bunny girl outfit to Arisu, Nanase suddenly slapped her forehead.

"Oh dear! I almost forgot about Tianze's plan. She's still waiting for us at the movie theater entrance!"

Nanase then told the two that Amasawa Ichika hoped Arisu could go to the movie theater to watch Amane and Chabashira-sensei's date.

"That's an interesting suggestion. Lingyin, are you going?"

Horikita originally didn't want to get involved in this matter because she didn't know how she would face Chabashira-sensei if Amasawa Ichika and Nanase's guesses were true. However, Horikita felt that there might be some misunderstanding if she didn't see the two of them on a date with her own eyes.

Seeing that Arisu seemed to want to join in the fun, Horikita agreed after a little thought.

"Since we have nothing else to do, let's go see how that guy got together with Chabashira-sensei, and see what kind of tricks she's going to use on Chabashira-sensei."

"I knew you'd agree, Suzune. Shall we invite Megumi and Honami along too? I heard they're knitting scarves, nothing important, so we can all go and have some fun together."

"Okay, I'll contact them right away."

After saying that, Horikita picked up her phone and started calling Emi and Ichinose.

Just then, Arisu seemed to suddenly remember something and curiously turned to look at Nanase.

"Speaking of which, if Tianze wanted to invite us to the cinema to watch Tianyin's antics, couldn't he just make a phone call? Why did you have to make Xiaoyi come all the way here?"

Arisu's question completely shut down Nanase's brain.

Nanase, who had been holding her coffee in a daze for a moment, suddenly let out a scream.

"Yeah! Why did I stupidly come all the way here when I could have just called? I've fallen for that bad woman's trick again!!!"

Chapter 302: She put her hand on

Arisu took only a short time from making the decision to arriving at the screening room. It was precisely because of her decisive personality that she was able to gain the trust of most people, both in Class B and the student council.

Now, even among the girls who are close to Amane, many have begun to take Arisu as their main focus. Although they are still somewhat concerned about the current class competition and it is inconvenient to show too much closeness, for the long term, if they want to stay by Amane's side and not change their way of getting along with Arisu, it is definitely not possible.

"Yi Xia, have Tian Yin and the others already gone in?"

When Arisu arrived with Nanase, Horikita, Megumi, and Ichinose, Amasawa Ichika was sitting on a chair to the side, leisurely swinging her legs.

When Ichika saw Arisu appear, he immediately took out five movie tickets and distributed them to everyone.

Arisu smiled with satisfaction as she saw that there were just enough movie tickets for the right number of people. They were obviously a little late in arriving, but fortunately, Amasawa Ichika was quick-witted enough to buy movie tickets for everyone, so they only needed to re-verify their student IDs.

"They've already gone in. Our seats are numbered consecutively behind theirs, and as far as I know, the number of people watching this movie in screening room number 3 that Tianyin chose is quite small, so it won't affect our view."

“Good job. Let’s change the real-name information first. Xia, could you and Xiaoyi buy some popcorn and drinks, including the movie tickets? Just let me know the personal points you spend later.”

"OK~ Xiaoyi, come with me to buy popcorn..."

"You wicked woman!!! How dare you even talk to me!"

Furious, Nanase stormed up to Amasawa Ichika. Informing Arisu and the others was something that could have been done with a simple phone call, but Amasawa Ichika made her travel such a long distance for nothing. Anyone would feel like they'd been tricked.

If it were someone else, faced with Nanase's confident questioning, they might feel guilty and apologize to Nanase, ultimately using their own lack of consideration as an excuse to give each other a way out, and the matter would be over.

However, Amasawa Ichika had always intended to bully Nanase from the beginning, so he left a backup plan when he arranged for Nanase to inform Arisu.

"This matter can't be blamed on me at all, right? If I remember correctly, when I asked you to inform Sakayanagi-senpai and the others, I didn't specify how you should inform them, did I?"

"That's what they say, but..."

"Xiaoyi, are you going to blame me for choosing the most troublesome way to notify us? If this makes you happier, then I'll accept your blame. Now, can we go buy popcorn? If we're late, we might miss out on something good."

Amasawa Ichika's explanation perfectly hit Nanase's most vulnerable weakness, revealing her pure and genuine kindness.

Even though Nanase knew that Amasawa Ichika's original intention was to bully her, she would soften her heart because Amasawa Ichika's explanation made sense.

"I'm sorry... I think this is indeed my fault... But, but you could have reminded me, you bad woman..."

"Yes, yes, I'll remind you to use the best problem-solving method next time. Now, we should go prepare some snacks and drinks."

Urged on by Amazuki Ichika, Nanase no longer cared about dwelling on the matter and happily went with Amazuki Ichika to buy popcorn.

"Tianze is very smart, but his personality is not very likable."

Horikita glanced indifferently at Amaze Ichika's back and made the assessment that any normal person would give after spending time with Amaze Ichika.

"No, I think Ichika is fine this way. She plays tricks on people openly and honestly. If Tsubasa were serious, she would definitely think of contacting me by phone... So it can't be called mean. On the contrary, I think it's a very awkward way of getting along."

Ichika wanted to bully others and get pleasure from them, but she didn't escalate this prank into bullying. In fact, the Disciplinary Committee had been monitoring Ichika for more than half a year, and all signs indicated that Ichika was fully capable of showing the side of an excellent student.

The basic logic behind her behavior is quite simple: she wasn't actually trying to kill time or have fun by bullying others, as she claimed. Instead, she hoped to increase the frequency of interaction with others this way. Perhaps this isn't the best way to put it, but I think Yixia was simply making friends in her own way, even though it seemed very malicious and lacked social common sense.

Arisu and Horikita have very different understandings. Arisu knows what the White House is like. She heard from Amane that Amaze was abandoned in the White House and raised from birth. From a young age, he was instilled with the idea that strength is paramount. People who grow up under the influence of this idea will become like Amaze Ichika if they do not realize that their behavior is not in line with common sense.

She was proving that she was stronger than Nanase by bullying her, so Nanase wanted to become her friend and listen to her.

The logic behind this behavior is incomprehensible to any normal person, but for the girl named Tianze Yixia, it is the fundamental logic that has allowed her to survive until now.

Only by demonstrating her strength and value will others become her friends or establish contact with her.

The reason why it was easily tamed by Tianyin is that when a wild beast encounters a more ferocious beast king, it will instinctively feel fear and choose to obey.

It is almost impossible to correct Tianze Yixia's entire outlook on life and even his personality from birth to the present, so even if Tianze Yixia realizes his problems, it will probably be difficult to correct them.

因为从一个生活在1+1=3是正确答案的世界一下子跳转到1+1=2的世界，对于她认知上面的冲击是巨大的。

The only hope is that Tianyin, who has successfully broken free from the influence of the White House and is no longer significantly different from a normal person, can help Tianze Yixia.

"I feel like I've seen this kind of person somewhere before? Oh right! It's Tianyin! When that guy first came to this school, he was always clinging to other girls, hoping to become friends with them. At first, I thought Tianyin was just a socially adventurous person who liked making friends, but what I didn't expect was that he actually believed that you could only become true friends after doing 'that kind of thing'. I even thought we were already lovers..."

Horikita has endless complaints about Amane back then. Amane was completely lacking in common sense, both in life and as a student. As a result, although she seemed to be good at socializing, she was actually a complete mess. After all, back then, no girl would be willing to accept the idea of ​​becoming friends with Amane after doing that kind of thing.

Furthermore, after Tianyin demonstrated violence at the library and discovered that violence could solve many problems, she began to frequently use violence to directly destroy the other party's confidence and even personality, but her purpose was only to prove her strength.

She is strong, stronger than anyone else, it's that simple.

It can be said that the first half of the semester was the most troublesome time for Horikita when she was with Amane. She liked Amane very much back then, and she still does now. However, back then, Amane often caused her a lot of trouble due to her lack of common sense. Horikita liked violence but was also afraid of Amane getting hurt, so Horikita took care of Amane like a child until the second semester of first grade.

Tianyin pushed her to the forefront to serve as the class leader, while she herself began to learn behind the scenes what constitutes proper behavior and common sense for high school students. It must be said that Tianyin's learning ability is extremely strong, and by the end of the first year, Tianyin's behavior had gradually become normalized.

She no longer clings to other girls, trying to do "that" with them or become friends. She also doesn't resort to violence against classmates or students from other classes. If Horikita had to describe her, Amane in the first half of her first year was like an omnipotent god, while Amane in the second half of her first year was a god who had gained humanity.

By the time Tianyin reached the second grade, she had completely transformed into a dazzling sun, capable of providing a sense of security to many without excessively scorching others.

Although there is still a great gap between her and ordinary people, Tianyin is gradually becoming 'human'.

For a moment, Horikita felt as if he saw Amane's shadow in Amane's past. However, Amane's situation was much better than Amane's. After all, Amane could keep Amane in check every day she was in the school. Even if Amane wanted to do something with her power, Amane could easily catch her and then use love to influence her.

"Really? In my eyes, Amane is much cuter than Ichika. I think Ichika's awkward personality is quite similar to Rin's when you first came to this school."

"Please don't mention that incident anymore. It's been so long, and I really don't want to think back to myself from that time."

As Horikita covered his face in pain, his other hand instinctively reached for his hair.

To this day, Horikita still cannot understand why she did so many incomprehensible things back then. Her arrogance about her abilities led to the class's passivity in the special exams. Not to mention, when she was in a passionate relationship with Amane, her jealousy made her like a demon, always thinking about eliminating any girl who got close to Amane. Airi was one of the girls who was deeply hurt by her at that time.

Whenever she thinks back to that time, Horikita sometimes slaps herself and questions herself: Was I out of my mind back then?

Fortunately, through the efforts of Horikita Manabu and Amane, Horikita Suzune finally recognized herself and found her place among the girls Amane liked.

Looking back now, from the moment she met Amane, Amane had made a vow that she could not refuse her request. If she had been normal at that time and remembered the promise she made, Horikita would have had a perfect start. Even if Arisu and Amane had a good relationship, they could not have easily crushed her without officially confirming their relationship.

To put it simply, Horikita Suzune has a winning hand, so why would she lose? Even if she were to confront Arisu head-on, she wouldn't be much weaker.

However, Horikita herself squandered her advantages. First, she forgot her promise to Amane, and then she started hurting the girls who approached Amane, either willingly or for reasons, such as Megumi and Airi. As a result, although their relationship with her seems good now, they are actually on Arisu's side.

The fact that her classmates would rather side with Arisu than support Horikita, who was from the same class, shows what kind of impression Horikita's morbid and crazy behavior left on them at the time.

Later on, there's the scene where Amane formally confesses her feelings to Horikita for the first time, but Horikita hesitates and Arisu steals the spot away...

In short, Horikita never wants to mention this incident again in her life, even though she now has the potential to become Arisu or even surpass her. Even Arisu wants Horikita to replace her in accompanying Amane in the future.

However, Horikita knew very well that she could not become Sakayanagi Arisu, not only because she was Horikita Suzune, but more importantly because Amane's heart had already been placed in the hands of this seemingly weak girl in front of her.

Feeling the smooth, soft touch of her hair in her palm, Horikita shook her head with a wry smile. She had even cut her hair short to resemble Arisu's, but then had to grow it out again because Amane said she liked long hair, resulting in her current in-between length.

She can't even be a good person like Horikita Suzune, yet she once fantasized about becoming someone else or even replacing someone else. It's really a bit...

"madness……"

Upon hearing Horikita's assessment of her as foolish, Arisu immediately stopped the conversation. She had only meant to tease Horikita, but Horikita's obsession with her failure was too deep. Realizing that continuing the discussion was inappropriate, Arisu quickly changed the subject and started talking to Horikita about how Amane had persuaded Chabashira-sensei to go on a date with her.

After chatting for a few minutes, Amane and Nanase ran over with a bunch of drinks and snacks. Megumi and Ichinose quickly went up to help take the snacks and drinks and started distributing them. Finally, they entered the screening room one minute before the ticket check-in deadline.

"Amane and Chabashira-sensei are sitting there, wow! They really are bunny girls! It's the first time I've ever seen outfits like that, but..."

While Ichinose was surprised that there were such risqué outfits in the world, she suddenly realized a problem.

"But what?"

While eating popcorn, Megumi curiously glanced at Ichinose.

"But why are they watching anime movies? Logically, if it's a date, shouldn't horror or romance movies be the first choice?"

Ichinose's words successfully drew everyone's attention to Amasawa Ichika, except for Nanase.

"Ichika, are you really sure Amane and Chabashira-sensei are on a date? It could be really troublesome if there's a misunderstanding, you know?"

When faced with Arisu's question, Amazawa Ichika seemed a little nervous. From any perspective, Amane and Chabashira-sensei should have come here for a date, but who goes on a date to watch an anime movie?
