Don't force me to use my right fist.

"Found you." Sōyū, who was still a little confused, quickly threw a round ball that emitted a dark green light in one direction, but he was met with Sherry's extremely happy laughter.

He attacked Ruoze from behind when Ruoze was clearly behind him, and yet he claimed to have found her?

While laughing, Shirley shook her head as she thrust her long sword at Zhe Zuoyou. This guy is nothing special. Fang Dizhi can't even handle this guy? Although he and Beifang Zhifeng are the two most pitiful people among the Right Seats of God, he still seems a bit too useless.

But soon, Shirley's smile froze on her lips.

The long sword she was supposed to pierce Saya's back was gripped by a hand, preventing it from advancing any further.

The owner of this arm, Sawa, exchanged a glance with Sherry across the pumpkin head, as if mocking her arrogance.

"Let go!" With a forceful pull, Saya yanked the katana towards himself, his free hand grabbing Shirley's instinctively outstretched hand. His third, square arm, however, gripped the pink coconut head and slammed it down on her head. Since he couldn't capture light, why not simply gain night vision? Saya had prepared plenty of night vision potions.

Chapter 221 Fortune Lies in Peril

Ji Li hadn't expected that Zuo You could move so nimbly within his own domain. Even more unbelievable was where he'd obtained such terrifying power; ever since Zuo You had grasped her weapon, Wu Shangqie, it hadn't moved an inch. Was this guy's power really that terrifying? She was, after all, a non-human vampire, and at least a half-step True Ancestor. Lifting a truck was usually effortless for her, yet she couldn't gain the slightest advantage against this guy. And what Ji Li found even more unacceptable was yet to come. While she and Zuo You were locked in a stalemate, she keenly sensed danger and was about to turn her head when she saw a pink toy with white wings, resembling a hammer, swinging towards her head.

"I'll just unseal it!" whil

In this confined space, with both hands bound, dodging the attack was practically impossible, and the strange power emanating from the pink hammer was something Shirley didn't want to come into contact with. Taking the hit head-on would be an even worse decision, but if she really wanted to dodge, Shirley had no choice but to let go.

"She really knows how to surprise people." Shirley narrowed her eyes. Sōyū's series of attacks had indeed put her in a difficult situation, but her life wasn't in danger. At most, it would just cause some numbness. In the black space, the solidified darkness extended directly from beneath Shirley's feet, swiftly blocking her path while simultaneously piercing towards Saya's body like sharp tentacles. If she were to be slightly serious, this guy, in terms of sheer strength, might completely surpass her. Without using other abilities, she might actually be defeated. But something unexpected happened again. Saya, as if oblivious to the darkness piercing him, grabbed the arm holding her katana and pulled her, sword and all, into his arms. The solid darkness pierced through Saya's completely unprotected body, but the seemingly suspended hammer also broke through the darkness's barrier, striking her directly on the head.

"Thump!" A crisp sound of a hammer severing a head rang out, and Shirley's perfect face instantly contorted. Her entire head nearly exploded from the blow, and her eyes even bloodshot instantly. The dizziness from the hammer blow was unavoidable, even for Shirley. In that moment of distraction, Zuo You had already snatched the katana from her hand, not even sparing the scabbard at her waist. Without hesitation, he stuffed both items into his backpack before releasing the woman who was gradually recovering. Glancing at his health bar, now reduced to a sliver due to his audacious act, Zuo You sighed helplessly. This was what happened when you weren't prepared; challenging this guy with his current abilities was clearly unreasonable. However, fortunately, he had achieved his initial goal; he had plenty of time to play around with this guy.

"So this is what you wanted to borrow from me. I don't know why, but it's something I really like. Can you give it back? Otherwise, I'll really get angry." Shaking her head, the dent in her skull caused by Saya's blow quickly returned to normal. The leisurely air in Shirley's eyes was gone, replaced by a murderous intent. A viscous substance, solidifying in the darkness, rapidly converged on her, and Saya was trapped and pinned to the spot by the layers of tentacles rising from the ground.

"I'm sorry, I've already got the item. I'm in a hurry right now, so let's meet again sometime. Your life will stay here for now. I'll come back for it later." Zuo You didn't want to get entangled with her. He already had the item, and it would be wise for him to continue improving his strength before dealing with this guy.

"Do you think I would let you go?" Shirley's voice turned completely cold, and a substantial darkness formed on her body like an evening gown, making her look both alluring and eerie.

"I'm sorry, but this isn't something you can just say no to. My escape route was decided from the very beginning." Saku ignored the tentacles that seemed to want to wrap around him and crush him, and with his only still movable arm, he made a farewell gesture to Sherry opposite him.

"Ciao~" The Ender Pearl that Saya had thrown out the window finally fell from the sky, landing on the grass several hundred meters away from the Kagami family's house, and quickly shattered. Saya, who had been standing there, instantly transformed into a cherry blossom effect and disappeared from Sherry's sight. The entangling darkness missed its target, and Sherry, who was standing there, was stunned. Saya's decision to run away so easily was a bit too decisive. But when Sherry realized that she had gained nothing from her actions, had been hit on the head by Saya, and even had her Enma Blade taken from her hand, she felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of her heart, wishing she could devour Saya alive.

"I'll kill you! To the death!" Sherry's furious voice echoed throughout the dark, shrouded living room of the Jian Tong family, but unfortunately, Sōyu couldn't hear it. Having escaped using the Ender Pearl, he immediately crouched down, sticking his rear end out, and quickly made his way back towards the Waka school. He had gotten the item, but in doing so, he had provoked a boss he shouldn't have at this stage. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. Sighing, Sōyu pulled a steak from his backpack and stuffed it into his mouth. Sherry truly lived up to her reputation as a vampire nearing the True Ancestor level; her power and abilities were something Sōyu found extremely troublesome. It was already quite an achievement that he hadn't failed on their first encounter. However, after seeing the notification that popped up in the lower right corner from the moment he touched the Yamato sword, Sōyu did think that the saying "noble gambles in danger" did indeed have some merit.

The [Sword Drawing] module is being installed.

Chapter 222 You Are Guilty

The module installation will take some time, and for Sōyu, getting back to Hell as soon as possible to complete his task is the most important thing. He's not in a hurry, the problem is that Amakawa Tsubasa is still seemingly possessed by that demonic cat. According to Yamami, possession by monsters here is a very serious problem; if it's not handled properly, complete fusion will be the end of them. As for whether that vampire will come looking for trouble, Sōyu doesn't need to think to know for sure. He not only got attacked, but he also ran away after showing off, even stealing the vampire's weapon.

If Sōyu were to put himself in the other person's shoes, he would absolutely not be able to tolerate such a thing. He would feel that he needed to tear himself to pieces to vent his anger.

But that's a matter for the future. If Saya is prepared and already intends to target the other party, then her coming later would simply be in accordance with Saya's wishes.

As the saying goes, "When you have too many lice, you don't feel itchy anymore." Since Sōyu had already seen plenty of trouble, he didn't need another one. There were plenty of people who wanted him dead; even if she was powerful, she'd still have to wait in line, right? Finding someone would take a lot of time, but going back would be much easier. Sōyu only spent about ten minutes before he was back in the abandoned classroom at Sakura Academy. He decisively lifted the floorboards and stepped into the Gate of Hell. With a flick of his shoulder, he took out the stolen katana.

The Sealed Yama's Blade: Once a demonic sword, it has long since lost its former power.

Fall Protection IX Sharpness? ?SA: Phantom Sword (Unavailable) Special Skill Dimensional Slash (Unavailable) This sword is quite similar to the Enma Sword in the katana mod that Sayu once played. Aside from the fact that its sharpness seems even more overpowered than the original, it appears that none of its other effects are working. No wonder it's called the Sealed Enma Sword. I wonder what its effects will be once unsealed. Sayu gently gripped the hilt, drew the sword, and glanced at the blade—it looked as if it could be sliced ​​to pieces just by looking at it—before sheathing it.

He quite liked the knife, but unfortunately it was a quest item. Zuoyou could easily steal it; no one would know if it were just in his inventory. However, that wouldn't benefit him. Its sheer sharpness alone wouldn't be enough to tempt Zuoyou, especially since it was meant to save Amakawa Tsubasa. Zuoyou was even less likely to do that.

Back in the old hell, Saya walked towards the house next to the dock where Wakakomachi was. He hadn't been gone for more than a few hours; whatever had happened, he should still have time. Sure enough, as soon as Saya reached the door of the small wooden house, he heard Shiki's incessant lecturing coming from inside. Just standing at the door made Saya's head throb. After a slight hesitation, Saya knocked on the door, interrupting Shiki's sermon. When Shiki opened the door, Saya saw what he expected. The two girls sitting inside the mine cart looked like they'd left their bodies, while the small, yellow, kitten-like creature was panting heavily, seemingly having ascended to heaven. What Saya didn't expect was that in the small boat he'd given Shiki before leaving, a voluptuous girl was sitting, looking at Saya with an expectant expression, as if she were looking for a savior.

"I understand the logic, so why does Komachi have to get involved? She didn't do anything wrong, did she?"

Saya pointed to the unfortunate, lazy Grim Reaper. Apart from her tendency to sleep when she had nothing to do, she was otherwise quite dutiful.

"Work is work. All Komachi does every day is sleep. Shouldn't she be pursuing something more meaningful? Besides, the old hell is about to start operating again. As the Grim Reaper who guides spirits, she can't continue to be so lazy."

"And you too. You're practically her accomplice. Building such a comfortable place only makes her more immersed in her world of pleasure, doesn't it?" Shiki explained to Sōyū with a serious face, and then even tried to lecture him as well.

"Hmm, I think we should put this topic aside for now. I've brought the things back; can we get down to business?"

Saya covered his face and, before Shiki could begin another round of lecturing, took the Enma sword from his backpack and handed it directly to Shiki beside him.

"Here you go. Can you help me with my friend's matter?"

Saya pointed to Amakawa Tsubasa, who was now almost indistinguishable from a cat and was licking the back of his hand, and said to Shiki, who had taken the Enma sword and was examining it.

Although Amakawa Tsubasa looks quite cute now, if things continue like this, it will be impossible for her to return to her normal life. Saya knows all too well how troublesome it is to become a monster. Shiki drew her Enma sword, confirmed it was indeed the one she had lost, and then asked Saya with some confusion. From the time he left Hell to retrieve the sword until now, it had only taken less than three hours. In other words, he could have easily finished quickly, but he insisted on dragging it out until now, which made her want to lecture him again.

"You think it's really that simple? I almost got killed on the spot, okay?"

Sōyū grumbled irritably. Just as he said, he had originally planned to investigate the vampire's abilities and weaknesses before taking action, so that he wouldn't be in such a passive position as he was just now.

"Alright, this is your own business, and I can't say too much to you. But I will definitely keep my promise to you, so you can rest assured." Shiki shook her head. Sōyō's words might have their reasons, but that was none of her business. All she needed to know was that this sword was indeed hers.

A strange power, intertwined with black and white, flowed through Shiki's hands, eventually being absorbed by the Yama Blade in her hand. The longsword, which already carried a sharp aura, throbbed and actually concealed all of that aura.

Shiki, on the other hand, gripped the hilt of the sword, which looked no different from any other ordinary sword, and stood in front of Amakawa Tsubasa, who had remained silent.

"You are guilty.

The unsheathed Yama-no-Kami slashed through Amakawa Kiri's body, knocking her to the ground.

Chapter 223 The Strange Truth

Saya witnessed all of Shiki's actions, but did nothing. He simply let Amakawa Tsubasa's body be slashed by the long sword, without reacting at all.

It wasn't that he feared Shiki's abilities and powers, but rather that Saya, knowing her personality, understood that she definitely had her reasons for doing this. Sure enough, not a single drop of blood flowed from the fallen Amakawa Tsubasa. Instead, something separated from her body, quickly coalescing into a pure white, kitten-like shape beside her. As this thing separated from her body, the girl who had been sitting in the mine cart finally returned to normal. The white on her hair faded from the tips, and her cat ears gradually vanished. Saya sighed with some regret. He had wanted to rub it and test its feel. The cute, kitten-like expression on Amakawa Tsubasa's face slowly faded, returning to the quiet yet subtly alluring expression Saya knew.

"Ugh, what's wrong with me?"

With a confused expression, the girl, who felt as if she had had a very daring dream, woke up to find herself trapped in a small car, much like the small boat that Saya had stuffed her into back then.

"It's alright, I'll let you out right away." After smashing the minecart that Yuuka Tsubasa was riding in, Saya finally showed a relieved expression. He helped the girl, whose legs were a little weak from sitting for so long, and let her sit on a chair in the room. Of course, Saya didn't forget the separated kitten either. He grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck and threw it into the empty minecart before turning around and carefully examining Yuuka Tsubasa's little face.

"Saya-kun, why are you looking at me like that? Although I don't mind, I still feel shy when you're so open about it."

Awaki Tsubasa, feeling embarrassed by Saya's gaze, turned her face away. Recalling the somewhat shameful actions she seemed to have taken in her dream, she found it even harder to face Saya. Saya, observing her for a while and finding her behavior typical of her, still somewhat uneasy, shook the still-lying magical girl awake. Pointing at Awaki Tsubasa, he asked her...

"Huh? How did you do that? This is the first time I've ever seen someone who's been possessed and fused with a monster be able to turn back." A little confused after being lectured, Mami blinked incredulously at Tsubasa Amakawa beside her. In her opinion, this should have been an impossible thing.

"So, does that mean she no longer has any strange aura? You won't bother her anymore, right?" Saya, who had already guessed most of what was going on based on Yamami's reaction, still asked with some lingering unease.

"Of course not. Don't expect me to let you off the hook. She's back to normal, but you're still a weirdo. That girl over there only separated the weirdo from Amakawa Tsubasa, she didn't do that to you." Completely oblivious to the fact that her life seemed to be in Saya's hands, Yamami gestured towards Shiki, who was silently holding the Enma sword, before offering this reminder.

"It's okay, I don't care about these things, and I'm really not weird. How many times do I have to explain before you believe me? If I were weird, could I do all this? Could I let you live after hearing what you said?" Sōyū complained to her irritably, then looked at Sensei with an expectant expression.

Yamami's words reminded her that if these guys all said she was a weirdo, then maybe there really was something unclean about her? Perhaps if she asked Shiki to help her sort out her T-shirt too, she wouldn't have to go through all this trouble in the future?

As if knowing what Saya was going to say, Shiki, who was silently wiping the blade of Enma, shook his head.

"Your situation is different from hers. I can't do it. And you wouldn't want me to do it."

Using a somewhat serious tone

"Could you explain why? The Yama Blade is supposed to be able to separate a person's good and evil thoughts into two separate entities, right?"

Sōyu, somewhat unwilling to accept this, pressed on, saying that if he were to be constantly criticized for being strange or something, it would be absolutely impossible for him not to feel aggrieved.

Now that Shiki Eiki's expression clearly indicates that she knows something, Saya is not going to let go of this opportunity to find out the truth.

"Although I don't know where you got this information from, it's true that the Yamato can do what you said. But I think you should let me explain the truth first."

Shiki sighed, sheathed the Enma sword, then stood in front of Saya, gently tapped him on the head with the Repentance Stick, and then beckoned him to leave the room and come to the deserted dock of the Sanzu River.

“You are indeed not a monster. Although Hell treats monsters and humans equally, I would not say so much to a monster.”

"However, I think you should also know that the difference between the supernatural and other existences lies in whether or not they contain the malice of this world. You should have known that by now."

"Yes, but I wasn't born into this world, so how could I possibly harbor any malice? There's no reason for that." Saku covered his forehead, which had been struck by the repentance stick, and said with a hint of helplessness. Shiki knew perfectly well that he wasn't from this world, and he had no reason to hide it.

"But the power you possess isn't something you were born with, is it?" Shiki shook his head, directly pointing out Saya's secret.

"I don't know how you obtained that power, but to put it bluntly, I sensed immense malice within it, yet also immense goodwill. These two things, which should have been in conflict, have merged within you. Perhaps that's why you're misunderstood." One particularly good thing about people who like to preach is that they rarely become riddle-makers. Shiki was no exception. Having directly explained the truth to Saya, she silently watched the boy, who had clearly come to his senses, and then tapped his forehead with the repentance stick once more.

"Damn it. So it was the system's fault after all?"

Sawa, who had been tapped on the forehead once more, finally snapped out of his daze, his face showing a look of sudden realization. He roughly understood where the problem lay.

Chapter 224 Officially Recognized Harmless Organisms

Those who understand the concept of the Fourth Calamity know its true meaning. Unfortunately, before his transmigration, Zuo You seemed to have been one such creature. And the game system, being the player's ultimate cheat, is naturally not a benevolent entity either.

Even though Minecraft is fundamentally a farming and nurturing game, it still contains elements that encourage combat. For example, the fact that many items can only be obtained by killing monsters makes the system seem maliciously designed.

It's just that the names "zombie" and "white rabbit" are subconsciously interpreted as enemies, and that's exactly what people mean, which makes killing them seem like a matter of course.

However, it is undeniable that if the malice originated from the system, then it would be entirely plausible.

This explains why Sawa is immediately identified as a monster whenever he uses his power.

After all, his current abilities all rely on the Minecraft system. And if this system is judged to be the malice of the world, then he truly is the most standard-level anomaly in this world. The only possible difference is that the malice of the Minecraft system can be manipulated; how this power is used is entirely up to Sōyu, not the system influencing him. But the malice in this world can affect anomalies, as evidenced by the monstrous cat that wasn't even as ferocious as in the original work. Knowing the truth, Sōyu sighed. It was just as Shiki had said. Knowing the truth, he had no intention of asking Shiki to separate him from the malice again.

That's like stripping away your own cheat codes, and now he's in a huge mess. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times already.

"So, in other words, I really do deserve to be considered an oddity, right?" Saya sighed in resignation, accepting his fate. In that case, the Black Organization and Hachimami didn't say anything, since they couldn't really tell what made Saya different from the other oddities.

"Whether it's strange or not should be your own decision, not waiting for someone else's judgment. I hope that you'll accept my judgment only after you die."

Shiki glanced at Saya. She had said everything she needed to say. As for providing psychological counseling, that wasn't within her job scope. It was just a friendly reminder out of affection for Saya. Actually, Saya, who didn't need Shiki's comforting words, had already figured things out and let out a long sigh. What he was really bothered by was why those people were so determined to attack him. Now that he knew the reason, he no longer felt that burden. However, Saya was actually quite curious about how Shiki viewed him. Don't underestimate this Yama Queen; her ability to distinguish right from wrong is quite formidable. Shiki carefully looked Saya up and down and stated the same judgment she had made when they first met.

"However, after the acquittal, the seasons quickly took another turn."

"The real judgment still depends on you after your death. A person's guilt or innocence will change because of what he did. I hope you can understand that."

Shiki gently waved the repentance stick at Saya, causing the boy who looked down at him to cover his forehead and squat down. Only then did Shiki stroll towards the Hall of Right and Wrong.

"I've granted your request to stay in Hell temporarily. I hope you remember your promise. Now I have to go back to work. Remember to release Komachi from the house. And remind her not to let me catch her slacking off again." The sounds of the four seasons echoed over the Sanzu River. Saya watched the girl, who wasn't particularly tall but possessed an extremely dignified air, leave.

As expected of the King of Hell, despite having a loli-like figure, her majesty far surpasses that of a certain vampire who has lived for who knows how long? After silently muttering a comment about a certain blue-haired young lady who might not even exist in this world, Zuoyou turned around and returned to the room behind him.

"I'm telling you, it's time you let me go. The reason you trapped me was to stop me from hurting Amakawa Tsubasa, right? She's not a monster anymore; I have no reason to attack her. This..."

Saya, who had just entered the room, covered his forehead upon hearing Yamami's voice. She had clearly realized that Saya genuinely meant no harm, which was why she dared to speak to him like that. Otherwise, given her immobile state while sitting in the mine cart, Saya could easily transform her from Yamami into Mami Raika if he wanted to.

"Yes, you won't lay a hand on her anymore, but you'll still lay a hand on me, right?"

Sōyū rolled his eyes and complained to her somewhat irritably. After learning the truth about why she thought he was a weirdo, Sōyū's initial hostility towards her completely vanished. Putting himself in her shoes, he realized he would have made the same decision. However, this wasn't the reason Sōyū let her out to cause trouble for himself. Understanding was one thing, but who likes being targeted?

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. It's my responsibility. Ever since I became a magical girl, this has almost become the meaning of my existence." Yamami shrugged. She naturally knew that Saya wouldn't let her go so easily. She just wanted to continue communicating with Saya. Actually, she was quite curious about this strange person who could communicate normally.

"Wait a minute, I think I remember how to prove my harmlessness to you. If I remember correctly, you should be a believer in that idiot Aqua, right?" Wihl Saya snapped his fingers, realizing that he actually did have a way to prove his harmlessness to this girl, and asked Wakaba Mami.

"Is this what you call Chu Suichu? I advise you not to even think about harming that stupid god. Otherwise, I don't think anyone will be happy with the outcome." Yamami didn't expect Saya to even know this, but she wasn't worried about Aqua's safety at all, and she warned Wakasaya in a serious tone.
