When Amane returned to the classroom, Horikita immediately ran over.
"Amane, did Chabashira-sensei say anything to you?"
"Ah."
Amane sighed deeply, then rubbed her eyes.
"Don't cry. Tell me what's wrong, and we'll solve it together."
Seeing Amane like this, Horikita immediately took Amane's hand.
If they weren't still in class, she might have been bolder and hugged Amane.
"Chabashira-sensei said… Miyako-san is really having a tough time. She told Suzune to take good care of me and be more intimate with me… Wah!"
Horikita angrily tapped Amane on the head.
"Hmph, you wasted my emotions. I should have guessed that a frivolous person like you, Amane, wouldn't be sighing."
"How is it a waste of emotions? I bravely faced Chabashira-sensei and said I would protect Suzune. Don't you want to know what Chabashira-sensei said?"
Amane deliberately leaned closer to Horikita and asked temptingly.
"No."
Horikita, feeling a little curious, still chose to refuse.
She knew Amane would definitely make some embarrassing requests again.
Like last time, asking her to wear a maid outfit… and black… "Eh? Suzune, aren't you curious?"
Amane was a little disappointed, but still decided to try.
What if she succeeded?
Having Suzune wear a maid outfit and say to her, "Master, please rest with me, be gentle with me, okay?" or something similar.
Hmm.
If Horikita knew about such a daydream, she would at least be subjected to a triple punishment.
"Looking at you, I can tell it's nothing serious. But I can give you a small reward."
As soon as she heard there was a reward.
Amane's cowlick instantly stood up.
"What reward??"
"Dinner is up to you."
Amane's little face immediately fell.
"Suzune is so mean, what kind of reward is that?"
"We have swimming class this afternoon, and we can bathe together tonight."
"Suzune, what do you want for dinner tonight? How about creamed chicken? And a plate of shrimp?"
Looking at Amane's silly smile.
Horikita patted her head.
"Just watch and do as I do."
Sigh, with Amane like this, won't she really just get kidnapped off the street?
Swimming class ended.
Since it was the last class,
the pool needed to be closed off.
This was to prevent students from sneaking in at night to play, which could lead to safety hazards.
This important task was assigned to Amane.
The reason was that Amane had secretly taken out her phone during swimming class to take pictures of Horikita.
After being caught, she even claimed it was "art" or something.
In the end, she was punished by the Swimming Class Teacher to clean the venue and be responsible for locking up.
"Wuwuwu, it was deleted again, but luckily I have a backup. Seriously, we've showered together, why is she still so shy?"
The bump on Amane's head was bright and prominent.
This was from a casual punch Horikita threw after discovering someone secretly taking photos.
After realizing it was Amane,
Horikita felt a pang of guilt.
So, she gave her a "Sanctioning Hand Chop 2.0" as well.
Looking at the photos on her phone, Amane showed a happy smile.
These were records of every little detail of her life with Suzune.
Although most of them probably needed to be censored.
After cleaning the venue, the next step was to check for any "stragglers."
I mean, to check if there were any students who hadn't left yet.
Amane first went to the boys' changing room for a quick look around.
After finding no one, she came to the girls' changing room.
At first glance, there was no one there either.
Just as Amane was about to leave,
she noticed a locker still contained a girl's shoes.
This meant at least one person was still here.
And she had already searched the entire venue, inside and out.
The only place she might have missed was... the open-air terrace at the very top.
But that place required climbing a ladder to get up there, surely no one would do something so dangerous, right?
Amane arrived behind the spectator terrace, where there was a half-open small door, which indeed showed signs of being opened.
She hadn't expected someone would actually do something so dangerous.
Amane sighed and climbed up the ladder.
The moment her head poked out, she was hit in the face by two somethings.
"Ouch!"
The other party shrieked and quickly retreated.
Amane also quickly grabbed the handrail tightly so she wouldn't fall.
"You are... Sakura-san? What are you doing here?"
Amane's expression was a bit... Sakura-san was holding an SLR camera in one hand, and her outfit was an open school uniform with a swimsuit underneath.
Such an outfit looked a bit... how to put it, not quite proper.
This wasn't Amane judging a book by its cover.
It was because Sakura-san's swimming class today was still an observation class, and she hadn't changed clothes.
This could only mean that she had been wearing her swimsuit underneath the entire time she was coming here.
So lovely.
Oh no, it's so sinful!!!
"I, I just happened to be passing by here, I'll leave now."
Sakura said, wanting to pass by Amane in a bit of a panic.
But Amane blocked the way down.
"Miyako-san?"
Sakura shrank back a little, somewhat scared.
"Sakura-san, were you just taking pictures?"
When Sakura heard Amane's question, a blush immediately appeared on her face.
"I wasn't taking... I was taking pictures of some scenery."
Originally, she intended to deny Amane's statement.
But then she thought, holding a camera and saying she wasn't taking pictures.
Isn't that strange?
So she quickly made up an excuse.
"Then can I see the scenery photos? I've never enjoyed the scenery from such a high place before."
Amane's words made Sakura a bit troubled.
"The photos are my private property..."
"Coming to a place like this without permission is against school rules, Sakura-san, you wouldn't want everyone to know about you dressed like this, would you?"
Sakura nervously clutched her camera.
She was clearly still struggling.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
"Then, then only Miyako-san can see them."
In the end, Sakura still chose to compromise.
She also knew that taking photos here was against the rules.
But it was too difficult for her to find secluded corners on campus.
It was even harder to openly take swimsuit photos.
For over a month, Sakura had only found this one outdoor spot where she could take swimsuit photos undisturbed.
But she hadn't expected to be caught the moment she put it into practice. If everyone found out about this, she couldn't imagine how she would stay in class.
So she chose to compromise with Amane.
"That's a good girl."
Amane took the camera and started looking through it.
She originally thought it was just Sakura-san's personal hobby, but the more she looked, the more something felt off.
That part was sticking up so high, it definitely involved some special poses, wasn't it?
Amane's face turned red from looking, but Sakura was even more shy, covering her face.
"Sakura-san, aren't you very pretty without your glasses? The photos for today haven't been taken yet, would you like me to help you take one? My photography skills are top-notch, you know~"
Amane tried to entice, oh no, she tried to persuade Sakura to take photos.
As for Amane's true intentions... do they even need to be said?
