Before Saya could even rest, he was drawn to the voice of a girl beside him, who was deliberately lowering her voice. Turning around, Saya saw Saya's innocent yet slightly questioning gaze. Even if she was naive, she still had a little curiosity about Saya's affairs.

Moreover, she didn't have many friends in her class, and she would feel quite lonely if Sawa disappeared.

"Me? I was busy with something, well, to be precise, it was fighting crime."

Saya Asawa, the girl who looked adorable no matter how you looked at her, smiled and replied to her in a half-joking manner.

"Huh? Saya, you have such an identity?" Saya, who basically believed everything Saya said, widened her beautiful eyes, a look of surprise appearing on her face, which she then deliberately suppressed, as if she didn't want to reveal Saya's identity.

Sawa's smile widened. He lay face down on the desk, turned his head towards the direction where Sand was, and then spoke.

If this girl is so naive, she must be very easy to fool.

It was only thanks to the protection of her identity that she was able to pursue him; otherwise, with her outstanding appearance and gentle personality, the number of people wanting to date her would be so long it would stretch to the next class.

"Because it was you who said it, Saya-kun, I thought you wouldn't lie to me."

With her little lips pouting, Saya's face showed a wronged expression, as if she had been bullied, and her fake cat ears were pulled down.

"Just kidding, you don't need to worry too much. I just did a small favor for the class monitor, and it's all fine now."

Saya waved his hand, finding Saya's little expression increasingly amusing.

"That's good. I thought you were really in some kind of trouble, Saya. After all, I haven't seen you all afternoon." Saya said softly with her head down, her eyes full of concern for Saya.

"It's nothing serious, but I appreciate your concern. Is there anything I can do to repay you?"

Sōyū winked at the girl. He genuinely felt a desire to cherish such a kind girl.

Of course, I see her as a younger sister.

"As for repayment, I don't need that kind of thing. Didn't Saya say that we're friends? That's enough. The fact that you're willing to be my friend is the best thing for me." Saya nodded seriously. She really cherished Saya as a friend and naturally didn't want anything to happen to him.

"Huh? It can't be that bad, can it?"

Sōyū sighed, feeling that this identity was so heavy.

"Yes, after all, you're my only friend, Saya-kun."

Saya lowered her head and sank. Just as she said, Saya was her only friend. It was only right that she valued him.

"Then make more friends! Don't you feel lonely when you're alone all the time?"

As soon as Sōyu said this, he suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him was not just a pretty high school girl. If that were all she was, she would definitely have trouble making friends. However, she also had a real body, and she especially liked to use her real body to observe and interact with people in her dreams. It would be really difficult for ordinary people to become friends with her.

"A little bit, but it's much better now, because you're my friend now, Saya-kun, so you don't care at all about the bad things I might bring, don't you think?"

Shana raised her head, looking earnestly into Saya's eyes.

Sōyu covered his face. This girl was just too pitiful.

"Well, I think you could definitely try to get to know a few more. For example, Saya looked around the class and finally settled on that blue-haired idiot who seemed to have gotten into trouble again and was being scolded by Yamami. This girl seems like a perfect choice. Her goddess status would definitely ensure she wouldn't be hurt by Saya's unintentional actions. Plus, with her personality, she's definitely a great friend. It's just that the teenagers in the class, still in their adolescence, think she's an idiot and distance themselves from her. When they mature, they'll realize how rare a true friend like Aqua is."

After Saya and Asami beckoned to each other, Saya gestured for Wakaya to come over.

"Huh? Saya, you actually came to me on your own initiative?" Taking advantage of this opportunity to escape Yamami's scolding, Aqua quickly slipped over to Saya's side, revealing an extremely energetic smile before asking.

"Didn't you say you wanted to repay me for what happened yesterday? Well, I happen to have something I need your help with now."

Sōyū and Sā, who hadn't objected at all, exchanged a glance before turning their attention to the blue-haired girl with a suspicious expression.

"Alright, then just say what you want. There's nothing that Lady Aqua can't do."

Akuchee patted his chest and replied confidently.

"My request is very simple: could you please ask Saya to..."

Sawa felt an urge to laugh when she looked at this idiot. Perhaps it was just her innate talent. "Hmm?"

Aqua, on the other hand, scratched her head, looking puzzled.

"We've been friends for a long time, it's just that Saya is shy and has never taken the initiative to contact me. I thought she just liked quiet, so I didn't bother her."

Aqua moved closer to Saya and hugged her.

"Saya is so kind and lovely, even if you didn't say anything, I would have become friends with her on my own, okay?"

Aqua was rubbing against Saya with a look of pure enjoyment. Luckily, she was a beautiful girl, otherwise, her behavior would have been a bit perverted.

However, this is exactly what Saya wanted to see. Just as he thought, if we disregard the trouble-causing aspect, Aqua is practically an angel as a friend.

Chapter 229 Did a trivial little thing

Saya is one of the very few people in the class who still has a good impression of Aqua.

With almost everyone in the class crowding around her, the only ones who dared to approach her, besides Amakawa Tsubasa, who felt obligated to speak to her as class representative, were this not-so-bright girl. Previously, out of fear of herself, Saya hadn't dared to approach her, even deliberately distancing herself. However, now that it was Saya's request, and with his assurance, perhaps becoming friends with her wasn't out of the question. She already disliked Jizama, so why would she refuse Aqua if there wasn't a reason? Therefore, even though Aqua's actions of hugging and rubbing against her were a bit too forceful, Saya remained submissive, even sporting a slight smile.

For her before, being with friends like this was a luxury.

"Alright, Aqua, the 'becoming friends with your classmate' means you should show her more care and attention in the future."

Looking at her expression, Zuoyou suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake. Was this girl really going to do something that would only cause more trouble?

"What are you saying? I, Aqua-sama, have always been ready to go to great lengths for my friends. If you ever have any difficulties, Saya-kun, just tell me. Don't be shy." Unfortunately, before she could even gloat for a few seconds, Yamami came up behind her and pulled her up from next to Saya.

"Aqua, you're very clever, but it's best to save your playful antics with friends for after school. Right now, I think you should explain the trouble you just caused, okay?" wihl

After giving Saya and Yamami an apologetic look, she grabbed Aqua, whose smug expression had vanished, and walked back.

"Sana-kun, I'm telling the truth. Let's go home after school, and I'll give you a proper introduction~"

Finally, Aqua, not forgetting to invite Saya, loudly told her, and Saya nodded in agreement.

"See? Aqua is still very enthusiastic, so if you have nothing to do, don't just stay alone. It's good to go out and make some friends." whl

Saya waited until the two of them had made their agreement before winking at Saya and speaking.

"Well, but at least at times like this, I'd rather chat with you, Saya-kun."

Unconsciously blurting out her inner thoughts, Saya's face quickly flushed red upon realizing her slip of the tongue, and she buried her head in her arms. Saya, on the other hand, looked at her blankly, but received no explanation from her.

Completely bewildered, Saya was about to ask her what she meant when Kaguya returned from the doorway, which dissuaded him from doing so.

Kaguya, looking no different from usual, gracefully returned to the seat in front of Saya, leaned back on the table, and then lazily glanced at Saya.

"Is everything finished?"

Kaguya's tone was slightly weary, but her eyes held only a questioning gaze. Saku sniffed; he caught a faint smell of burnt food on Kaguya. It seemed she hadn't showered before returning to the classroom. Had she rushed back?

"Well, there was a little mishap, but it's been resolved smoothly, so here I am." Sawa shrugged. Although it wasn't really a little mishap, since it was resolved, there was no need to deliberately emphasize it.

"This little accident of yours, it's not related to that class monitor again, is it?"

Kaguya looked around the classroom and was somewhat surprised not to see the familiar girl with glasses.

"A little, but not entirely. I also got some pretty good information, and it's even related to you." Sōyū snapped his fingers. The whole thing started because of Amakawa Tsubasa, but during his subsequent investigation, he discovered quite a few things related to Kaguya. It was an unexpected bonus, but this information, relatively speaking, wasn't exactly good news.

"Oh? It's related to me too?" Kaguya had already expected that what he was busy with would be related to the girl. But the fact that it would also involve her was something she hadn't expected.

Yes, it's about the Church of Truth, and how should I put it...

Saya lowered his voice, gesturing for Kaguya to come closer. Kaguya raised her eyebrows and leaned closer to Saya.

"That's right, the weirdo I've been investigating recently is also a member of the Church of Truth - and when I found her, she was plotting with the head of the Jian Dong family to take action against you when their two families get married."

Sōyū snapped his fingers, revealing all the information he knew.

"You mean, the Church of Truth has the support of the Makoto family?" Kaguya's expression turned somewhat grim. No wonder her investigation into the Church of Truth had yielded so few results; if they also had the assistance of the Makoto family, it was indeed a very troublesome matter.

"It might be more than just support. From the information I've received, it seems more like the Mato family is actively trying to curry favor with the Shingon Church. It doesn't seem like a collaboration; it's more like the Mato family is subservient to the other." Saya emphasized that the Shingon Church might be even more powerful than they imagined, which is definitely not a good thing. "And then, you came back after getting this information?" Kaguya pursed her lips, her brows furrowed, clearly annoyed by the information Saya brought.

"That's definitely not all. I'm just telling you to give you a heads-up. My main goal wasn't to investigate this. It's just a pity they discovered me when they got to this point in their discussion, and then I, as the Headless Horseman, did a little bit of work." Saya gestured a little bit.

What did you do?

Kaguya noticed Saya's expression; generally speaking, what he called a small matter might not be a small matter to her.

"It's nothing. We just demolished one of the Jian Tong family's reception rooms and then killed the current head of the Jian Tong family, that guy named Jian Tong Zangxian." Zuoyou waved his hand, as if he really had just done a trivial thing, as he had said.

"Of course, I shouldn't have revealed my identity. I was carrying the pumpkin head properly."

"Huh? What did you do?"

Kaguya's beautiful eyes widened. Had this guy just said something terrifying?

Chapter 230 The Old Bug Must Die, I Said It

In other words, I just casually twisted the head off the current head of the Matou family, but given how troublesome this guy is, he certainly won't die so easily. Saya thought Kaguya hadn't heard him clearly, so he repeated what he had just done.

"Do you even know how powerful the Jian Tong family is? You went to their ancestral home and killed their patriarch?" Kaguya gasped. Although she knew this guy's strength was not to be underestimated, what he had done was still far too astonishing.

"I don't know. I only know that with that guy's abilities, he definitely won't die if he turns around, so I need to think of a way to kill him again." Sōyū replied seriously, rubbing his chin. Since the old bug has already made contact with the Church of Truth, then he doesn't need to doubt whether there are any deviations from the original work.

Since we're all going to die anyway, might as well let him give the old bug a quick death, so he won't go and harm the Tohsaka family's lolis later.

"Do you even know what you're saying means?" Kaguya took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down before continuing to confirm with Wakasaya.

"What does it mean? I was just doing what I was supposed to do. Besides, he betrayed you, so he's your enemy now, right?" Sōyu shrugged and replied with an indifferent expression.

"While that's true, have you considered the potential consequences of doing this?" Kaguya covered her forehead, a rare look of distress on her face.

"I don't know about that. But I've always liked a certain saying."

Saya tapped the table and, amidst Kaguya's puzzled expression, uttered a sentence that puzzled her even more.

“The old worm must die. Even Jesus couldn’t save him. I’m telling you.”

Thinking of all the evil deeds that old bug had committed, Sōyu clenched his fists. If he hadn't been busy with the Enma Blade and hadn't had a vampire watching him, he would have definitely found the old bug's true form and killed it several more times.

"Forget it, it's my fault for expecting you to give some kind of reason, but as long as you don't reveal your true identity, I'll help you cover for yourself." Kaguya sighed in resignation. Since Saya had already said so much, she could only choose to support his decision. However, just as Saya said, since the Mato family had already pledged allegiance to the Shingon Church, his actions weren't entirely bad.

It will just be very troublesome. Once the two conglomerates start to clash, it's not something that can be resolved by the death of one or two people.

"It shouldn't be exposed, but it's not a big problem. I was planning to pack up before going to the Kaguya's house anyway. Silencing someone should be thorough, right? Killing half a person isn't my style." Wihl Saya waved his hand and directly told Kaguya his plan.

"Wait, you mean you're going to the Makoto family later?" Kaguya realized the seriousness of the problem and looked at Saya with a conflicted expression.

"Yes, that old bug won't die so easily. I have to wipe him out completely. If the head of the Jian Tong family dies, it will make things much easier for you, won't it?" whl Zuoyou nodded and looked at the notification that the sword had been installed in the chat box next to him.

"[Batana Sword] mod installed. From today onwards, hone your swordsmanship to become a great swordsman! I haven't played the Batana Sword mod much, but I've heard a lot about it. I think most of the other mods are great, but this one has a setting that I find hard to accept: the kill count."

While mob spawners can help in the world of Minecraft, it's not practical for Saya to go out and hack and slash people in the real world. While farming kills would be easier than in the original game, Saya isn't someone without limits. Since arriving in this world, Saya has faced fewer than a hundred monsters, including A-Zhen's clones. This means that if the mechanics of the Katana mod haven't changed, Saya won't actually need it much. However, this depends on the situation. For example, Lucky Cubes have clearly changed with the world, even the crafting method has changed, so perhaps the Katana mod's requirements will also change. But this is obviously not something to be confirmed in the classroom. Besides, the weapons in the Katana mod still seem to have many uses in Saya's upcoming plans. Even the most basic unnamed Katana, "Puppet," can be used infinitely with a right-click slash. That's an area-of-effect attack that can be used indefinitely as long as you're fast enough and the knife has durability. For a melee fighter like Zuoyou, it's definitely the best weapon against insects.
