"Amane..."
Just as Ichinose was about to say something, Karuizawa suddenly threw herself into Amane's arms.
This scene made Ichinose's eyes widen.
She hadn't expected Karuizawa, who already had a boyfriend, to be so uninhibited.
"Don't take advantage of me!!!"
Amane feigned pushing Karuizawa away, then his small hand naturally pulled Karuizawa into his arms, a look of enjoyment on his face.
"Who, who's taking advantage of you? I was just scared!!!"
"I understand, I understand. Come, let me comfort your frightened little heart, Kei-chan~"
Amane was just about to take advantage of Karuizawa still being immersed in fear to get closer.
But at that moment, Karuizawa suddenly reacted and quickly tried to break free from Amane's embrace.
"Bad guy, bad guy!!! I knew you brought me to watch a movie to take advantage of me! Let go of me, I have a boyfriend! Don't you dare think I won't make a scene here and get you arrested by the security department!"
Ichinose nodded silently.
Karuizawa's judgment was quite accurate. In general, if such a thing happened in a cinema and the other party didn't heed warnings, simply shouting loudly could make everyone look in their direction.
Even Amane would probably be a little cautious and choose to let go of Karuizawa, right?
In that case... Ichinose's face suddenly turned crimson for some reason.
But what Karuizawa and Ichinose could never have imagined was that Amane was looking at Karuizawa with sparkling eyes.
"Kei, it would have been fine if you didn't mention your boyfriend, but once you did... hehehe..."
Amane chuckled mischievously.
"What's wrong with having a boyfriend?"
Karuizawa looked at Amane in confusion.
Isn't it precisely because one has a boyfriend that intimate behavior between girls is forbidden?
Otherwise, strange rumors might spread.
"Think about it, in my arms is Hirata-san's girlfriend, Karuizawa Kei. Doesn't just thinking about it make one excited?"
Amane said, and even pecked Karuizawa's face.
"See, I even kissed his girlfriend."
"Pervert, pervert, pervert!!! Stop talking!"
Karuizawa covered her ears with both hands, her cheeks burning hot.
Amane's perverse words made even Karuizawa, who seemed like an experienced lover, try to pretend not to hear him.
Ichinose, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.
So Amane was into that kind of thing?
How terrifying... Maybe it's better to change the plan first...
Just then, Amane-san suddenly turned her head to look at Classmate Ichinose.
"What's wrong?"
Classmate Ichinose blinked, seemingly unaware of why Amane-san was looking at her.
Amane-san pointed towards the large screen.
Classmate Ichinose looked over curiously.
The various bloody scenes, enough to warrant pixelation, turned Classmate Ichinose's face pale, and she immediately buried herself in Amane-san's embrace.
Karuizawa, who was nearby, rolled her eyes at this sight.
Why was Ichinose putting on an act too?
Ichinose, experiencing someone else's embrace for the first time, looked up with a hint of guilt.
Her gaze met Karuizawa's, and as if electrocuted, she buried her head back into Amane-san's embrace.
Amane-san was also a bit dumbfounded at this moment.
What was this situation, Karuizawa on her left and Ichinose on her right?
If Suzune saw this... *hiss*.
But in a way, it felt rather blissful.
Karuizawa, who was leaning in Amane-san's arms watching the movie, suddenly felt something on her leg.
She looked down.
A familiar small hand was resting there.
It looked very natural.
She had intended to resist, but for some reason, she silently acquiesced to Amane-san's overstepping behavior.
Ichinose, nearby, naturally saw this scene, but before she could react,
she felt a strange sensation on her body.
"Oh!"
Ichinose let out a startled cry.
This immediately drew the attention of many people.
Just as Ichinose was at a loss for how to explain,
a wave of screams suddenly erupted from the front.
It was precisely the most terrifying part of the movie, so everyone was too preoccupied to pay attention to Ichinose.
This allowed Ichinose to narrowly escape.
"Amane-san, you're too much!"
Ichinose quietly accused Amane-san.
But Amane-san's face showed no trace of apology.
She even more boldly reached her hand directly into... "When you deliberately threw yourself into my arms, didn't you already know I would do this?"
Amane-san's words made Ichinose's face instantly turn pale.
She hadn't expected Amane-san to see through her so quickly.
"Sorry, I'm not very good at being gentle with women. If you scream, people might notice..."
Amane-san increased her grip slightly.
Ichinose couldn't help but let out a soft whimper.
"Please don't do this, or I really will report you, Amane-san, for your conduct."
"Oh, I'm so scared. Are you planning to report my conduct to the school? Ichinose, you wouldn't want everyone to know that you're actually only wearing a shirt on top, would you?"
"Th-that's because mine was washed this morning, and it wasn't..."
Ichinose, her face flushed, tried to explain, but Amane-san gently touched her with a finger, stopping her from speaking further.
"Are you planning to explain it like that to everyone? Do you think that's the version everyone wants to hear... Compared to your explanation, what people probably want to hear more is that the pure Classmate Ichinose is actually a pervert who likes dirty things?"
"No, it's not like that..."
"Then just listen to me obediently, after all, I'm not a bad person."
Karuizawa, who had regained her freedom, pouted.
She had just seen Ichinose being bullied.
She had originally planned to buy a dress she had been eyeing for a long time, but now that seemed to be out of the question.
Amane-san's interest in her had been completely replaced by Ichinose.
As for Amane-san's excessive behavior, Karuizawa didn't really think much of it, only assuming that Amane-san probably just liked to be close to girls.
Being touched by a girl could get her tens of thousands of points for bags, cosmetics, and clothes.
From Karuizawa's perspective, with her high standards for quality of life and fashion sense, it was an absolute steal.
Now, however, everything was gone.
If only she had known... If only she hadn't been so reserved.
A couple of kisses wouldn't have hurt!
However, both Ichinose, who was being bullied, and Amane-san, who was enjoying herself, overlooked one thing.
A girl sitting in the back row quietly took out her phone... Unlike the heated situation with Amane-san.
Horikita's side was hot with frustration.
Horikita Suzune, waiting on the bench, intended to see whose appointment Karuizawa was going to.
What? How did she know the location was here? This place had a shopping center in front, a sports field behind, the road to the dorms on the left, and a waste disposal center on the right.
Karuizawa wearing casual clothes meant she couldn't enter the school building, and she hadn't dressed up, indicating she had no intention of going out to play. The school building and shopping center were ruled out.
Karuizawa herself said she had no desire to watch a soccer match, so the sports field was also ruled out, leaving only the waste disposal center.
Who would invite Karuizawa to a waste disposal site for a conversation?
Since everything else was ruled out, the answer was obvious: her current location.
Just as Horikita, feeling the heat, was about to leave.
A familiar figure approached from a distance.
"Why are you here, you guy?"
