Don't force me to use my right fist.

"That's it?"

Kaguya Hazaki listened with some disdain as he earnestly explained his so-called additional conditions.

I really don't know how to describe this guy; he has absolutely no business sense.

Just the fact that he has the power to control Kaguya's life is enough for him to demand a fortune that a normal person could never imagine in a lifetime. So why is he making such a serious decision just for these few conditions?

"What do you mean by 'that'? If you can do it, then agree. If you can't, then let's part ways amicably."

Sōyū looked at the girl in front of him. She had her pride, and he had his principles.

"Pleasant to work with."

Releasing Saya's wrist, Kaguya Hazaki solemnly extended her hand once more and lightly shook hands with the man before her.

"So, when your rescuers arrive, do I need to hide myself? Otherwise, it'll be difficult for you to explain my identity to them, won't it?"

After shaking hands with her and making a simple agreement, Zuoyou pointed to the figures who had come looking for her and said...

"explain?"

Kaguya Hazaki tilted her head in confusion.

Why do you think I need to explain this to other people?

With her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, Zuoyou realized that, according to her, she was not from an ordinary family; it would be more accurate to say she was born into a superior position.

What kind of upbringing could produce a girl with such an unusual way of thinking?

Sawa was somewhat curious.

"Excuse me for asking, just consider me a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, okay? Just how prestigious is the name Kaguya Hatsaki that you're talking about?"

Unable to suppress his gossipy desires, Saya asked the girl with some seriousness.

"You're not a country bumpkin, you're from another world. As for the weight of that name, you'll find out sooner or later."

Kaguya lowered her head after making a veiled mockery of Saya.

Her toes, as smooth as white jade, twitched restlessly, and even though she was stepping on relatively soft grass, a flush still appeared on her delicate skin.

Why are you looking at me like that? Do you expect me to hug you or carry you on my back?

Zuoyou watched as she glanced down at her toes and then met his gaze again. Her look seemed to be telling him to figure it out himself.

Isn't that a bit too much?

Even if Saya, as a gentleman, doesn't mind doing this kind of thing, doesn't she herself mind at all?

"I don't mind, anyway, you're not even human."

As if she could read Saya's mind, the girl shook her head.

"So, carry me on your back."

Sōyū was very grateful for her trust, provided that there was no second half to her statement.

"I think I need to add another point: as partners, you should give me at least basic respect. Let me emphasize this: I am a human being, a real human being, you understand?"

Saku solemnly reiterated to the girl in front of him that he did not have any special parts such as scales or a tail growing on his body.

Even if he was a cube-shaped person before, that's in the past. Why not say that he was an Earthling even before that?

Therefore, Sawa believes that being human is his principle, not something weird or strange.

"I chose to do this precisely because I respect you and trust you."

Kaguya Hazaki stared at Saya with a stern face, not at all like she was listening to what he was saying.

"These conditions aren't within the scope of our transaction, are they?"

Saya made a comment.

“No, so what’s your decision?” Kaguya Hazaki stared directly at Saya, her arms outstretched, as if she were ready.

"You're already in this state, do I have any other choice?"

Sawa finally understood. This girl was the kind of person who wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal. Once she wanted to do something, she would never give up easily.

He was sure that if he said no, this guy would stay in that position until he gave in.

Sawa is the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

However, Saya didn't seem to find this level of capriciousness too offensive.

Perhaps they saw through the girl's tough exterior to reveal a hint of vulnerability, or perhaps they noticed that there must be a reason for her unusual behavior.

Rather than being willful, there's something about Sawa that's hard to put into words.

Unable to figure out why, Saya turned around and squatted down.

Soon, a pair of small hands grabbed his shoulders, and the girl's incredibly soft body leaned against him.

"The people who are going to save you are coming soon. Do you really have to do this?"

Saya stood up without much effort. He was as thin as he looked, and carrying her was no burden at all.

The only thing that bothered him was the difficulty in placing his hands.

If I hold her thigh, wouldn't it be awkward if she brings it up later?

But if he didn't support her, Sōyu worried that if she slipped and fell while relying solely on her small, seemingly powerless hands, what would happen?

Then it will be his fault again.

"I don't trust them."

Kaguya Hazaki, supporting Saya's arm, frowned and said.

Chapter Fifteen never disappoints when it comes to uncovering traitors.

What happened next was simpler than Sawa had imagined.

As soon as the group of police officers and bodyguards spotted Kaguya Hazaki, the once quiet little park quickly became lively.

Armed bodyguards surrounded the area completely, and even fully armed helicopters blocked the sky overhead the entire time.

When the prime minister gets into trouble, this is probably the kind of treatment he gets, right?

What surprised Saya even more was that Kaguya Hanesaki simply waved her hand and led Saya to a luxury car that was already waiting not far away, without giving any face to the fat, big-eared leaders who came up to inquire about her safety.

As for the attackers who were knocked unconscious by Saya, Kaguya's method of dealing with them was even simpler.

"Anyway, asking won't get you any answers. Since they were prepared to kill, they must have been prepared to be killed as well, right?"

When Saya asked about it, Kaguya Hazaki, who had gotten off his back and was leaning against the leather seat in the back of the luxury car, replied in this way.

Sōyū didn't say anything more.

He simply couldn't accept the idea of ​​killing someone with his own hands; what Kaguya wanted to do was her own business.

As someone directly involved, she naturally has the right to deal with these guys.

What bothered him was that, just as this guy had assured him, despite being someone who shouldn't have been there and without any identification, no one had actually come to ask him who he was.

Even after he got into the car with Kaguya, no one appeared to talk to him or Kaguya.

However, this does fit the girl's style quite well.

Sawa comfortably shifted in his seat and even pulled out a bottle of red wine of unknown vintage from the small freezer next to him.

In short, it's safer to stick with her until she makes arrangements for him. Anyway, the environment here is more comfortable than him digging a hole somewhere.

"You wouldn't mind if I tried it, would you?"

Saku picked up the bottle of red wine he had found and shook it at Kaguya Hazaki, who was still resting with her eyes closed. He then licked his lips.

He's been eating steak and potatoes in the Minecraft world for so long that he's long forgotten the taste of other drinks and foods.

"Are you really not treating yourself like an outsider anymore?"

Kaguya Hazaki, who had been sorting through what had just happened with her eyes closed, opened her beautiful eyes and glanced at him, gesturing for him to leave.

“We are partners. I’m not your servant or bodyguard or anything. We are equals.”

Sōyū casually unscrewed the cork of the red wine bottle. After searching his pockets for a while and finding that the only usable container was the glass bottle he used for medicine, he replied while pouring red wine into the bottle.

The sound insulation in the back and front seats was good, so Zuoyou wasn't worried about whether the young female driver in a suit sitting in the front would hear anything.

Given Kaguya Hazaki's personality, the fact that she would appoint someone as her driver indicates that she at least trusts them.

"Equal? ​​Me and you?"

A hint of a smile flashed in Kaguya's eyes as she watched Saya squander her treasured red wine like a cow chewing on a peony.

Perhaps it really is as this guy said; he treats her completely as an ordinary girl, which is why their conversation is so interesting to her.

"Huh? You don't mean to discriminate against me, do you?"

Saku imitated the way those high-class people drank red wine from his memory, shook the red wine he had poured into the glass bottle, and then leaned in to take a small sip.

It's sour.

After smacking his lips twice, Saya realized that he probably couldn't enjoy such a high-end drink and put the bottle of red wine back.

"That depends on whether you're human or a monster."

Kaguya Hazaki picked up the tablet computer she had glanced at and then placed aside; it contained a file that had been sent to her at some unknown time.

The document details how a strange man in sky-blue armor fell from a great height and destroyed a library, and how he was later taken away by a mysterious government organization claiming to be a distillery.

Without a doubt, the culprit was the boy sitting across from me.

"You said you weren't lying to me, but how are you going to explain this, Steven? Or rather, 626?"

Handing the tablet to Saya, Kaguya crossed her legs, lazily propped her head up with her arm, and asked.

"Is money really that powerful? They've figured everything out already?"

Sōyū didn't take the computer; he knew perfectly well what was written on it.

Is Kaguya Hazaki's power really that great? She's only been in the car for a few minutes, and she's already completely figured out my situation?

Keep in mind that only about half a day has passed since he woke up, right?

However, when he thought of the two guys from that organization he had met, Sawa felt that everything made sense.
