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

First, the undercover agent was so well hidden that even Tianyin couldn't figure out who the second undercover agent was.

Secondly, Tianyin herself is an undercover agent who is looking for the next person she wants to eliminate.

For Kaneda, who is most likely a commoner, both of these options are arguably the worst possible choices.

Especially the second possibility: if Tianyin is an undercover agent and Jiye is voted out as a civilian, then in this round, just voting out one more civilian would basically mean the outcome is decided.

The civilian forces will lose all opportunities to turn the tide.

It was for this reason that Kaneda wanted to observe Tenon as much as possible before the vote to avoid the common people failing in such a muddled way.

When Tenon saw Jintian asking her a question, she first shook her head slightly before answering him.

"Everyone's descriptions in the first round were so detailed that the undercover agent has already guessed what the words on our poem are. It will be quite difficult to find this person among us now."

Tenon's words made Kinda's expression darken. He was very dissatisfied with Tenon's words. His dissatisfaction was not that Tenon had failed to find the mole, but that Tenon's answer was too reasonable, making it impossible for him to find any clues in her answer.

As the leader of the civilian team, he was tasked with finding the key figure hidden among them. However, the group was unsure of Tianyin's identity. How could they continue playing like this?

Besides failing to find any weaknesses in Yukimura and Kaneda's arguments, Amane's remarks also threw most people into confusion.

They weren't very opinionated to begin with, and usually followed the instructions of the class leaders when in class or taking special exams. Now that no one was telling them what to do, they were immediately at a loss.

Logically, those who have made it to the main competition through multiple rounds of selection should not be so incompetent. However, since the rules stipulate that points are added based on faction, as long as you are lucky enough, even if you don't perform well, you can still get a fairly high score by simply following the votes of the most skilled players.

The East and West are typical examples.

Nakanishi's performance, whether in his usual routine or in his OAA data, was not particularly outstanding. However, he was lucky enough to be matched with Amane, Arisu, and Shiina, who was good at deduction, as a civilian. This allowed Nakanishi to achieve a good result of 44th place, thus qualifying for the main tournament.

When Nakanishi saw that even Amane couldn't immediately determine who the undercover agent was or who he should vote for, he started to feel uneasy. Because he felt that with Amane there, there was no problem even if he didn't think things through, he didn't listen to the speeches of the others except for Kanzaki's. He couldn't even recall any of the content when he tried to remember.

So who should he vote for? According to the rules, everyone must raise their hands to vote and cannot change their vote. This means that he must keep in step with everyone else, otherwise it may cause misunderstandings. For example, if everyone votes for Fukuyama but he votes for Kaneda, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction and questioning from others, not to mention that.

Suspecting someone of being an undercover agent requires evidence, but Zhongxi doesn't even remember what the other person said. During the confrontation, he'll definitely make many mistakes, and then everyone will vote him out as an undercover agent...

Feeling uneasy, Zhongxi reflected his inner thoughts on his facial expression. At this moment, everyone was racking their brains trying to find differences in other people's statements, so no one paid attention to the changes in Zhongxi's expression, except for Tianyin.

Instead of trying to decipher others' statements, Tianyin believed that directly observing changes in each person's facial expressions was far more useful. Therefore, she immediately noticed when Zhongxi's expression changed. After observing Zhongxi discreetly for a while, Tianyin confirmed that Zhongxi was somewhat nervous and uneasy. Although Tianyin didn't know the specifics of Zhongxi's nervousness and unease, she decided to use Zhongxi as a starting point.

"Voting will now begin."

As soon as the staff gave the voting instructions, Amane quickly pointed to Nakanishi. Since the speaking time had passed, even if Nakanishi wanted to defend herself, she couldn't speak. Airi hesitated for a moment and then also pointed to Nakanishi. Although she didn't know why Amane wanted to vote for Nakanishi, Airi still voted for Nakanishi out of absolute trust in Amane. Fukuyama saw Amane give her a meaningful look and immediately understood and voted for Nakanishi as well.

On the contrary, Kaneda voted for Amane, while Kanzaki and Yukimura voted for Fukuyama, who had acted strangely in the first round, because they could not determine Amane's true identity.

This resulted in three votes from the Chinese and Western schools, two votes from Fukuyama, and one vote from Tianyin.

If Nakanishi doesn't want to be voted out, the best way is to vote for Fukuyama, which would result in a three-vote tie and Nakanishi's defeat in this round of voting.

However, Nakanishi's mental fortitude was truly astonishing. After Nakanishi was led to vote by Amane, he saw that Kaneda next to him had also voted for Amane. In order not to be eliminated, Nakanishi also decisively chose to vote for Amane. This, in turn, made him completely lose the only possibility of saving himself.

The final result of the second round was three votes for Nakanishi, two votes for Fukuyama, and two votes for Amane, resulting in Nakanishi being voted out.

Seeing this, even Kaneda couldn't help but sigh. The reason he voted for Amane was to attract Amane's attention so that he could find out Amane's identity in the next round. The best way in this round was to prevent anyone from being eliminated. When he saw Kanzaki and Yukimura voting for Fukuyama together, Kaneda was overjoyed. As long as Nakanishi voted for Fukuyama, no one would be voted out in this round. In the next round, he could test Amane's attitude towards him to determine whether Amane was an undercover agent.

As a result, the game was not over even though the Chinese and Western players voted themselves out in this round. This means that there are only 5 or 4 civilians left. Once the number of civilian players drops below 4, the game will be declared a failure.

"The third round of presentations begins."

Kanzaki carefully considered the situation on the field and realized the problem that Kaneda was most worried about. Therefore, he chose to describe it more directly in order to see if there were any flaws in Amane's or Fukuyama's description.

"They will debut as individuals or as a group."

"Being a worker in this profession has nothing to do with gender."

After Jintian finished his description, he turned his gaze to Tianyin.

"Sometimes photos become magazine covers."

Airi blushed slightly and said softly.

Unlike the others who were scheming against each other, Airi was genuinely just playing the game. Therefore, she was completely unaware that everyone else had already locked onto their targets, and she was the only one who didn't realize that everyone was actually fighting openly.

"When you're not famous, you often have to promote yourself or participate in various events as a supporting actor to increase your visibility."

Amane smiled confidently at Kanzaki's wary gaze.

She had the game in her grasp.

"This profession often involves being harassed by all sorts of people."

Yukimura couldn't think of any words, so he simply changed what others had said. Since everyone had already guessed what the common people's words were, there was no need for him to continue being ambiguous about the meaning.

"These people are all very good-looking!"

Fukuyama made up for the advantages that these people had always overlooked.

Then the discussion began, with Kindaichi taking the lead in attacking Amane.

"Miyako, why did you vote for Nakanishi in the last round? I don't think there was anything wrong with his statement."

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with his statement."

"you……"

All of Jintian's prepared arguments were completely shut down by Tianyin's single sentence.

Seeing how weak Kanada's fighting ability was, Kanzaki could only take over the conversation.

"Since you didn't notice the flaws in his statement, why did you vote for Zhongxi?"

"Because I know who the other undercover agent is."

"what?"

This time, not only Kanzaki, but also Yukimura and Airi looked at Amane with curiosity.

Fukuyama, on the other hand, just stood there smiling, seemingly unconcerned.

"Miyako-kun, you said you discovered the mole, so why didn't you vote the mole out in the previous round instead of voting out Nakanishi-kun?"

Jintian looked sharply at Tianyin, who simply shrugged in response to his question.

"Because I wasn't mentally prepared to vote her out. After all, she's the person I'm most reluctant to eliminate, right, Airi?"

Chapter 327: Kiss Me

"Huh?!"

After Tianyin called their names, everyone, including Airi, exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait a minute, even if you want to clear your name, you shouldn't use Sakura-san as a shield, right? I can't hear anything wrong with her description."

Kanzaki was the first to realize what was happening and question Amane's motives.

It wasn't that Kanzaki believed Airi's statement, but just looking at Airi's stunned expression, it didn't seem like the expression an undercover agent would show, unless... she didn't know she was an undercover agent.

Kanzaki was startled when he had this thought.

Yup!

It turns out there's another possibility: undercover agents aren't necessarily those who are active, deliberately reveal their weaknesses, or are the ones being eliminated during the walk-through.

Now, his most suspected person is Fukuyama, followed by Amane. However, Amane said in the second round that she couldn't find any flaws in the undercover agent. Because Kaneda has been targeting Amane, Kanzaki also subconsciously regards Amane as an adversary.

But what if Tianyin really isn't an undercover agent?

How can her behavior be explained? Was it a ploy to lure the enemy out, or a strategy to embolden her?

The reason they couldn't find the undercover agent might be because the undercover agent didn't know he was an undercover agent.

A player who sees themselves as an ordinary citizen participating in the game wouldn't experience any emotional fluctuations, so Tianyin naturally wouldn't be able to find the snake.

Everything is working now!

"No, I really did discover Airi's problem a long time ago, but I was hesitant about whether to expose her. While I was hesitating, I used Nakanishi to stall for time in order to avoid a situation where there were no empty tickets. I'm very sorry..."

Amane nodded slightly to Kanzaki and the others with a sincere expression, which seemed quite convincing. Even Kaneda was a little shaken this time and quickly spoke up.

"But Amane, what evidence do you have to prove that Sakura is an undercover agent? We can't just believe your side of the story and vote for Sakura, can we? That would be too unfair to her. At least give us a reason that we can all accept, based on her statements and behavior."

"The reason is simple. Do you remember when Airi said she had this profession in the first round? I'm telling you now, she never did. She had a similar profession. So I could tell from the first round that she and Hime were undercover agents. But because of our relationship, I never made up my mind to expose her. After thinking it over, I couldn't just give up the victory, nor could I keep covering for her. So in the end, I made up my mind to expose her identity."

Tianyin's expression changed constantly with the ebb and flow of her emotions, and everyone present deeply felt how difficult it was for her to make this decision.

Even Ai Li's vision became a little blurry as she was involved in the incident.

Am I really an undercover agent?

"Ah."

Airi gently spoke to Amane to confirm, and after receiving Amane's affirmative answer, a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Tenon is just as Arisu said... an idiot. It's just a game, what's there to be sad about? I'm not going to cry over losing a game. Honestly... this situation makes me feel even more embarrassed. So everyone, vote for me this round. I wish you all the best in the finals."

Airi smiled and clenched her little fist, her objective and cheerful demeanor surprising even Yukimura.

Is this still the same Sakura Airi who used to sit silently in the corner of the classroom, always keeping to herself? Without realizing it, she has grown into a girl who is more outstanding than others.

The others encouraged each other, and when the voting began, everyone voted for Airi, and even Airi herself voted for herself.

In the third round of voting, Airi Sakura received six votes.

After announcing the voting results, the staff pressed the button that indicated the end of the game.

For a moment, everyone present showed a relieved expression. Airi ran over to Amane's side and, under the gaze of the onlookers and students, threw herself into Amane's arms and nuzzled her affectionately.

The staff then announced the results of the competition.

"The third group's match has ended! The undercover agents have won; the undercover agents are Miyako Amane and Fukuyama Shinobu."

"Great! Tianyin, you can get in like this... Eh? Eh!! Tianyin??"

Airi looked up at Amane with disbelief. Amane felt a little guilty under Airi's gaze. In order to win, she had to use some tricks. However, before she could figure out how to be honest with Airi, the results were announced.

"Oh my, how sweet! I'm going to find my sister now, so I won't disturb you two lovebirds playing your sweet game~"

Fukuyama Shinobu passed by and saw Amane and Airi gazing at each other affectionately. Thinking they were playing some kind of fun game, he jokingly went to find Fukuyama Shisho, who had also advanced to the main competition.

"Shinobu, wait a minute..."

"Heavenly Sound!"

Amane originally wanted to ask Fukuyama Shinobu to take her with her, but Airi forcefully interrupted her as soon as she opened her mouth.

Airi, who was usually timid and weak, suddenly burst out with an amazing force, pressing her hands against Tenon's cheeks and forcing Tenon to look down and meet her eyes.

Well, if it weren't for standing on tiptoe and looking up, it might have been more imposing.

"Um... Airi, let me explain..."

"Tianyin, how could you deceive me? I trusted you so much... I never expected you to..."

As Airi spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes.

hiss…

Tianyin gasped. She already felt a pang of guilt for bullying the innocent Airi, but now seeing Airi cry because of her bullying made even the seasoned Tianyin a little overwhelmed.

“Well… there’s a reason for this. Actually, I wasn’t planning on voting you out, but… you and I share a secret that only the two of us know, and that secret was the key to my victory. I’m sorry… I used your trust, Airi, to win, but in that situation, only you, Airi, could help me win.”

Tianyin took Aili's hand in return and gazed deeply into Aili's eyes.

Inexperienced in love, she couldn't withstand Tianyin's passionate advances for even a second before succumbing again.

"just me?"

"Yes, only you can help me. Didn't I say before? I'm the one who's most reluctant to vote for my beloved idol..."

"I don't believe it... unless..."

"Unless what? Airi, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Upon seeing that Airi's tone had softened, Amane realized that this was her last chance to appease Airi and answered without hesitation.

If Ai Li wants something, Tianyin will do everything she can to get it for her.

Kiss me.

Airi blushed and made a request to Tenon.

Looking at Airi, who resembled an adorable little animal tilting its head back and crying for food, Amane first glanced around.

The first round of the main competition has ended, and all the contestants are looking at Amane and Airi embracing each other. There are still many stranded tourists watching outside the venue, which makes Amane wonder if Airi can accept kissing her in such an environment.

"Airi, are you sure you want to stay here? Everyone's watching us now."

"Yes, it's right here."
