Amane recalled what happened that night.
She felt a faint sadness.
She never thought that she would be tricked by Horikita.
Then, under her coercion and inducement, she had no choice but to obediently agree to become Horikita's helper.
To help her lead the class to Class A.
Apparently, Chabashira-sensei had said something to Horikita.
That night, Horikita took the initiative to treat Amane as a body pillow and pampered her well.
Her subsequent attitude was so good that Amane found it unbelievable.
Perhaps this was Horikita, who wasn't very good at expressing herself, compensating Amane?
However, no one knows a sister like her brother.
Horikita Suzune's little tricks had long been anticipated.
However, Horikita Manabu probably didn't expect that Horikita Suzune would use such a method to drag Amane onto the pirate ship.
Amane remembered that after Horikita Manabu listened to her description.
He was silent for a full three minutes.
In the end, he could only say.
"Miyako-san, I suggest you keep your distance from her for the time being. If you encounter danger... you can contact me at any time if you need my help."
He seemed to realize that something terrible had happened to his sister.
Although this change was within his expectations, it far exceeded his control.
However, these were no longer issues that Amane needed to consider.
What she needed to do was, under Horikita Manabu's arrangement, guide Horikita Suzune to grow into an outstanding talent who could stand alone.
For Amane, it was Suzune's development strategy.
Although it might be a little off.
But would you say she has grown or not?
From a somewhat rigid tsundere girl.
She became a resourceful black-bellied... girl.
Yes.
There has definitely been growth.
Amane was thinking about random things.
While lining up.
Today, her task was to buy two cups of special limited-time ice cream black tea.
Horikita was responsible for buying groceries and cooking.
She was lining up here.
As a result, she lined up for an hour.
Her stomach was almost empty before it was Amane's turn.
"Two cups of ice cream black tea and two white chocolate mousse cakes, a total of 5550 points."
Hearing this number of points.
Amane was stunned.
Was this stuff so expensive?
She looked at the label.
Two cups of black tea cost 1,500 points.
A white chocolate mousse cake actually cost 2,024 points.
"If I had known, I would have bought some ingredients and made it at home."
After paying with a painful heart.
Amane, holding the black tea and cake, suddenly remembered that Horikita seemed to remind her to remember to buy some seaweed.
It seemed to be something used to make miso soup.
Amane came to the store.
She immediately saw the shelf where the seaweed was stored.
Just as she was about to walk over.
A girl in front of her who was planning to buy hand cream caught her attention.
The same silver-white long hair, and also purple eyes.
Standing next to her, although they didn't look the same, it was obvious at a glance that the two must have some kind of relationship.
In fact, that was exactly the case.
"Fuka~"
Amane called out the girl's name.
Then, she ran all the way and suddenly pounced into the other person's arms.
The girl, who was startled by the figure that suddenly pounced over.
Before she could react, she was hit in the chest by the other person.
The girl, who was attacked by a wild boar rush, took five or six steps back before stabilizing her body.
"Hey! You, don't you have eyes when you walk? You... you seem a little familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before?"
The girl looked at Amane, who was smiling foolishly at her.
She showed a suspicious look.
It seemed like she had seen a higher-spec version of her somewhere.
"Amane, I'm Amane~"
Amane rubbed against the girl's chest affectionately.
"Amane? Miyako Amane?!"
The girl rarely showed a shocked expression.
"You, how did you become like this? You can't be fake, right?"
The girl disbelievingly held down Amane's smiling corners of the mouth with her hand.
Then, she pulled her big eyes at the corners, making her look a little gloomy.
Seeing the figure that was exactly the same as in her memory.
She then believed that the person in front of her was Miyako Amane.
"Kiryuuin Fuuka!!! I already said I'm Amane, why don't you believe me?"
Amane pouted aggrievedly.
"Cough, your change is too big, not to mention me, it's another matter whether your old man can recognize you when he sees you. What exactly did you experience to become so silly?"
Kiryuin looked at Amane with some curiosity.
I can't say that it's completely different from what I remember, I can only say that they are completely unrelated.
"You're the silly one. I just suddenly realized what freedom is. I had been putting too much pressure on myself before, always carrying a heavy burden and struggling forward. But now I find that as long as I let go of everything, I can live very easily and happily."
Amane showed Kiryuuin a perfect smile.
Kiryuin, however, swayed a few times.
Wait.
Did she just say she dropped her burden?
Were the things she carried something she could just drop?
If that old man knew Sakayanagi Narimori had taught Amane this way... this school...
It would probably... no, it would definitely be flattened, right?
But!!!
Amane had no idea what she was doing!
Kiryuin had a bit of a headache.
"Fuka, what's wrong? You look a bit pale."
Amane touched Kiryuin's forehead with concern.
After confirming she didn't have a fever, her face still showed concern.
She had finally met her first acquaintance here!
How could Amane not be happy?
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's find another place."
Seeing that some people were already mistakenly thinking they were twins, causing confusion among the men.
Noticing the situation was wrong, Kiryuin grabbed Amane without a word and ran outside.
"Kelp! My kelp!!!"
Kiryuin ignored Amane's shouts.
She kept pulling Amane until they reached an open space in the dormitory building before stopping.
Coincidentally,
this was the same place where Horikita Manabu and Amane had met.
"Fuka, why did you bring me here? You can't do anything bad to me, you know."
Amane imitated Horikita, making an 'X' sign in front of her.
Kiryuin, however, directly slapped her hand.
Amane rubbed her hand for a long time, in pain.
"Who wants to do anything bad to you? Do you really not know what the consequences will be if you turn out like this?"
Kiryuin was about to explain, but then remembered it was Amane's family matter, and as an outsider, it wasn't appropriate for her to interfere.
However... Amane shouldn't have failed to consider even this.
She had shed everything from before, came here, and even transformed into this appearance.
"You can't really not understand, can you? No, unless you've really gone silly, you'll definitely understand what I'm saying."
Kiryuin stared intently at Amane.
Amane sighed.
"Is the old me really that much worth missing, Kiryuuin Fuuka?"
Listening to that cold voice,
Kiryuin felt quite a bit more refreshed.
"This poker face suits you, you know. Long time no see, Miyako Amane."
