My wife is the stand-in.

Lin Shuyu, who had not received a reply from Amanosaki for a long time, was afraid that Amanosaki would be taken away by the evil forces that discriminated against him. In her anxiety, the girl stole the access card and entered the dormitory.

Just then, they saw Amanosaki, looking like a pervert, rubbing his face against the soles of Tohsaka Rin's feet.

Rin Tohsaka, whose face was so red it was practically steaming, had given up. She was now crossing her arms, looking at him with a wry smile, helplessly enduring his unusually domineering behavior.

Then she happened to see Lin Shuyu walking in.

Amanosaki, who was dawdling, sensed something was wrong and instinctively looked up.

Lin Shuyu, her eyes peeking out from between her wide-open fingers—which were covered by her hands—looked at Amanosaki, who was enjoying being trampled by Rin Tohsaka, with an incredulous yet slightly excited gaze.

At that moment, Amanosaki knew he was finished.

Rin Tohsaka is a tsundere.

Rin Tohsaka has made a fool of herself.

"Pervert! Freak! Sex freak! Die!"

Chapter Twenty-Two: Please teach me how to pick up girls, Coach!

You've seen people with red handprints on their faces, but have you ever seen someone with footprints on their face?

It can only be said that Rin, who has the strength to arm wrestle with Servants, has soft and fragrant little feet. However, the kick she gave in her anger and embarrassment left Amanosaki with a red swelling on her face that would not go away for a while.

Amanosaki walked nonchalantly down the bustling underground corridor on the eighteenth floor, and after a while said helplessly, "Miss Lin, just laugh if you want to. The way you're trying to hold back your laughter like a pig is just more noticeable. Why don't you just laugh it all at once?"

"Pfft, no, pfft, hahahaha!"

Lin Shuyu covered her mouth, her face flushed from trying to suppress her laughter, her eyes crinkling at the corners. Her clothes were completely unsuitable for the sharp and capable look she was wearing as a work uniform today.

"Sorry, haha, I couldn't help but giggle."

Amidst the sidelong glances of passersby, Amanosaki, bearing the tiny footprints of Rin, calmly munched on his chive pancake, quietly waiting for Lin Shuyu to recover.

Rin Tohsaka has disappeared and is sulking because she was caught being intimate with him.

After spending these few days together, Amanosaki has roughly figured out a few characteristics of his "ideal type".

First of all, all the female characters she transforms into are female characters who have appeared in her works uploaded to the "Romance and Romance" section.

Secondly, the ideal type's personality is affected by the changing roles, so Amanosaki Tenten felt very excited during these few days of interaction.

On the first day, he had just gotten used to Hinata's gentleness, but on the second day, he was teased by Saria in various ways, making it seem like he was having an affair.

Today's episode is even more daring, taking us straight back to our school days and reenacting a youthful romance unlike anything we've ever experienced before.

It really filled in the gaps in my otherwise lacking experiences during my school years.

Thinking of this, Amanosaki unconsciously touched the footprints on his face and sighed, "Is this what youth is?"

"No way, nobody's youth is about having footprints on their face, right?"

Lin Shuyu, who was laughing so hard her stomach was cramping, wiped away her tears and weakly retorted.

"Really? Normal friends wouldn't step on my face, right...? No, given Rin's personality of playing pranks on acquaintances, it's not impossible that she stepped on my face out of love and to deliberately embarrass me... Ah! This must be what youth is all about!"

Amanosaki became increasingly agitated as he spoke, unilaterally announcing that he had returned to his youth.

"Yeah, right! Who would step on someone's face..." Lin Shuyu retorted mockingly, but then suddenly paused, her voice trailing off like a screaming chicken being choked.

Because of her laughter, passersby looked over, and the marks on Amanosaki's face and their banter were naturally noticed by everyone.

At this moment, Lin Shuyu laughed until her face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with tears, making them look like they were brimming with autumn water.

With her joking around with Amanosaki in such an inappropriate manner, and the obvious traces of a girl's footprints on her face, what would others think?

Lin Shuyu stopped laughing abruptly, glared at Amanosaki, turned and walked away, her low heels clicking crisply.

Amanosaki didn't care about this at all. He didn't even care about the eyes of the people around him, let alone a girl.

Don't underestimate the audacity of a man who started from scratch, worked his way up in the world of renowned scholars, and even obtained a local residency permit.

Moreover, Amanosaki even felt that the marks on his face were a sign of Rin Tohsaka's affection for him. His girlfriend's harmless prank could only further demonstrate their intimacy, right?

As the saying goes:

A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love, and when feelings run deep, a kick is the only way to express them.

This proves that:

Rin Tohsaka loves me deeply.

perfect!

Thinking of this, Amanosaki was in a great mood. Even the mark on his face seemed to him like a hickey planted by Rin Tohsaka.

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, Amanosaki, with bright red footprints on his feet, walked with increasing lightness, even humming a song softly...

Upon hearing Amanosaki's joyful singing, Lin Shuyu stumbled and almost fell.

She got it.

This is revenge.

Amanosaki was retaliating against her for catching them in the act, so she deliberately made herself laugh in public and did things that didn't suit her image, making people misunderstand that they were in a relationship!

God!

According to the rules of the Yushan branch, she would have to spend all her days with Amanosaki for the next week, as she had already informed him yesterday... Could it be that this man is so vengeful that he wants to use the rules to bind her and make her act like a couple for a week?!

Damn it! I haven't even started my revenge yet, and you've already made your move!

Once those people are gone, I'm going to teach you a lesson. I'll make that bastard bow down and apologize in public, clarify the facts, and beg me for forgiveness!

This was the most vicious design that Lin Shuyu, who had lived in a kind environment since childhood, could imagine.

Seeing Lin Shuyu suddenly quicken her pace, Amanosaki shrugged and was forced to speed up as well.

He seemed to be bathed in a spring breeze as he walked along, nodding amicably to every male who stared at his face, revealing the marks left by Rin Tohsaka, with a smug look that said, "Look, this was given to me by my girlfriend. Do you have one? You don't, do you?"

Thus, the rumor that "a handsome man, unfortunately mentally challenged, is suspected to be Ms. Lin's boyfriend" spread throughout the Yushan branch faster than the two of them could walk.

Along with it spread the image of Amanosaki's face that had been stepped on.

These rather intimate footprints became solid evidence in the eyes of onlookers.

-------------------------------------

As he returned to the ground via elevator, the sweltering heat of Yushan, which would make anyone step out of an air-conditioned room exclaim "Damn it!", enveloped Amanosaki once again.

Amanosaki thought to himself, "It seems the test has been moved up," as he followed Lin Shuyu through the staff entrance to the training ground.

The branch's training ground consisted of several venues, so Amanosaki looked at the training ground surrounded by tarpaulins and heavy machinery, feeling somewhat dazed.

His first experience happened there. It was only two days, but it felt like a long time, and his life was completely changed.

He gained superpowers, a girlfriend, transformed from a quaint, unassuming scholar into a free-spirited knight-errant invited to join him, and...

Virginity graduates.

In the blink of an eye, everything changed.

"Ah, Jiajia!" Lin Shuyu, who had been wearing a dark expression, ran over happily and hugged the JK girl with an icy expression on her face.

Amanosaki vaguely heard the sound of his head hitting the steel plate.

Lin Shuyu chuckled and kept rubbing the girl's head. Although the girl looked disgusted, she surprisingly tolerated Lin Shuyu's enthusiastic actions.

Today, the JK girl is wearing a sailor-style school uniform. Her single ponytail is tied high, but her hands are covered with European-style iron gloves. She holds a heavy cross sword, more than a meter long, in her hands like a handbag.

With her indifferent face, she truly looks like a tsundere girl with high looks and high fighting power who stepped right out of a superpower anime.

Ah, speaking of which, tsundere, good looks, superpowers, uniforms—these traits seem... he's seen them before...

As if in response to Amanosaki's idea, pixels surged forth, revealing a girl in a red dress, black skirt, knee-high socks, and small leather shoes, with her hair tied in twin ponytails with pointed black bows, her hands in her pockets, and her head held high as she walked out.

Her lips were a pale color, like cherries in early summer, not quite ripe yet. Her nose was like a jade vase, delicate and smooth, and her eyes were clear and bright, as if day and night were passing within them.

Rin Tohsaka took two steps forward. The JK girl, who was being held by Lin Shuyu, was like an enraged leopard. Her eyes widened, her hands unconsciously tightened their grip on the cross sword, her back straightened, and her other hand hugged Lin Shuyu's slender waist, turning herself to face forward.

Two young girls with highly similar attributes were locked in a tense standoff in the spacious training ground, a strong wind blowing, lifting one's twin ponytail and the other's single ponytail.

A pair of black stockings and a pair of white stockings subtly confronted each other, and the JK's icy eyes met those of the proud, jewel-like Rin Tohsaka.

Oh my god! A battle of beautiful girls!

A flame ignited in Amanosaki's heart.

The next second, Rin Tohsaka ignored the iceberg and focused her gaze on the distant stands.

The burly man, his body wrapped in bandages, stood up quietly and looked at Rin Tohsaka with a slightly confused expression.

Amanosaki recognized him; this was the burly man whose superpower allowed him to control his entire body's flesh and blood, the one who had been utterly defeated by Saria yesterday.

This is the real reason why Rin Tohsaka took the initiative to appear.

"My magic tricks revolve around jewel magic, but I only have two jewels right now. My chances of winning aren't great, so be careful."

Rin Tohsaka thought to herself, "As if I were there," faithfully conveying the message.

Amanosaki glanced at the panel discreetly;

[Current Identity: Rin Tohsaka]

[Current popularity: Obscure (34%)]

With virtually no popularity, Rin doesn't even have the dress with the pendant hanging on her chest, so it seems she currently only possesses the original version's abilities.

Amanosaki pursed his lips and began to consider the possibility of begging for mercy.

He's just participating in the test, so even if he's surrounded by those Nth generation players, he shouldn't die, right?

I'll draw a four-panel comic of Rin and post it online later, and also take some intimate photos of me and her to increase my popularity!

"I understand. A magician can only unleash their full power when they have enough Mystic Codes and the initiative. Don't feel guilty... Holy crap, where did you get those jewels?!"

While Amanosaki was pondering a strategy, he inadvertently noticed the gold earring that Rin Tohsaka was holding between two fingers, with a dim light flowing through the two green bean-sized gems on it.

"Didn't Lin Shuyu barge in this morning? When I stepped on your face and disappeared, I casually took it from her ear."

Rin Tohsaka took it for granted.

'What's that on her ear now?!?'

Amanosaki was dumbfounded.
