Don't force me to use my right fist.

Even so, when Kaguya asked Saya this question, her tone was still full of concern. Being angry was one thing, but she didn't want Saya to be in danger; after all, he was one of her own, right?

"Well, for some reason, those people from the Church of Truth went to the winery's headquarters to cause trouble. I couldn't just watch them go on a killing spree, could I? So I stepped in and helped out a little."

Although Kaguya couldn't see it, Saya still made a tiny gesture, but the smugness in his tone betrayed him.

"Is it to help the brewery or that girl from the brewery named Guan Ye? I remember you only have that one person from the brewery who's close to you, right?" Kaguya coldly questioned Wakasaya. Given his personality, although he couldn't possibly sit idly by, his proactive approach meant there was only one possibility: this matter definitely involved someone he cared about, and that person was, one thousand percent, a woman. And most likely, a beautiful girl.

"No, you guessed wrong this time. I rescued her as a side effect. The main thing was to deal with a particularly troublesome guy from the True Word Church. After dealing with that guy, your safety will be more guaranteed." Sōyu honestly pointed out the error in Kaguya's question. He didn't go to the brewery for the sake of Lianye. Although he had the idea of ​​going to see her, that should have been done in the afternoon.

"Oh? You can actually be this proactive for girls?" Kaguya thought she might need to look at Saya in a new light. Had he really changed his ways?

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Judging from the news from over there, it seems our temporary accommodations have been demolished again? Kaguya thought it over and decided to come and check on Saya's safety first. Actually, she doesn't care about the state of the brewery, nor does she care about the people from the Church of Truth. All she cares about is whether Saya is safe, and on that basis, her second concern is whether Saya has taken the opportunity to flirt with girls again."

Yeah, I'm in these ruins right now. But 0102 is fine, and Reisen is okay with you too, right? Kaguya only had a few members of the Hanazaki family here; it seems the rest were scattered to branch families.

"Alright, I'll come pick you up right away. It seems that for now, you'll have to stay in the house I originally planned to buy for you." Kaguya thought for a moment. She actually had plenty of places to stay, but taking advantage of this opportunity, it seemed that she could legitimately keep a room of her own in Saya's future home. That seemed like a pretty good option.

As for safety, it's not like Zuoyou doesn't live with her anymore. With her around, he almost forgot what danger is like.

We need to find a way to keep Saya by our side forever. Otherwise, even if the matter with the Church of Truth is resolved, Kaguya is worried that she won't be able to sleep well after losing him, who brings her a sense of security.

"Sure. I happen to have an extra person here. If you're going to my future home, I'll make sure it's safe and secure for you."

Upon hearing that he could finally go to his future home, Sawa couldn't contain his joy, so much so that he blurted out about the pumpkin-headed girl beside him.

"An extra person? Don't tell me it's a girl?" Kaguya's lips twitched, and an extremely ominous premonition gripped her heart.

Chapter 289 I Didn't Agree

Saya was already used to Kaguya guessing these things; she seemed to have a sensory radar for these matters, always able to figure things out. Saya beckoned the black-haired girl hiding behind him to come over—rubbing her pumpkin head as he explained to Kaguya. Kaguya's expression darkened further. So, she wasn't his real sister?

Ignoring the girl's aggrieved murmurs in front of him, Zuoyou grabbed her pumpkin-shaped head and shook it back and forth, saying...

"How did this get back to the brewery? Never mind, where are you now? Let's talk when we meet." Kaguya pursed her lips. Asking like this wouldn't get her anything out of her. It was more reliable to just go and see Saya's so-called distant cousin. What could be better than seeing her in person?

"Huh? I'm right here in front of the ruins of the house the distillery arranged for me. I've cleared out all the True Word Church people around here, so you can come over without worry." Sōyū looked around. Apart from the belatedly arriving Japanese police and fire department, there was no one else who could pose a threat.

"Wait there, I'll be right there."

Kaguya hurriedly hung up the phone. As for Saya, after finding a relatively clean table to sit down, he patted the empty space next to him, gesturing for the girl behind him to sit down as well.

"How long are you going to stay silent? Or have you forgotten everything I told you after all this time we haven't seen each other?" whl

Sōyū crossed his arms, looking exactly like he was scolding his own unruly child, just like the pumpkin-headed girl who sat down with her head hunched over.

"...No, it's just, didn't you say I shouldn't talk to strangers?" A slightly hoarse and weak female voice came from under the pumpkin head. The voice was even softer than Saya's, whom Saya knew. If he hadn't had good hearing and was close enough, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

"Am I a stranger?"

Zuoyou rolled his eyes, pointed his finger at his own nose, and questioned her.

"You're not me, you just look like someone I don't recognize."

A pair of small hands, hidden in her sleeves, frantically cupped together. After thoroughly examining Sōyū through the pumpkin head, the girl whispered her reason even more quietly.

"It would have been so much better if it had been square before."

She gestured a square shape with her little hand, as if Sawa had done something wrong.

"This is what I'm really like. A square shape is abnormal, okay? And how did you get here? Didn't I already tell you to live well over there? The land and pumpkins I grew are enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime. I even gave you the house. Is there something you're not happy about?" wh Zuoyou replied to her question irritably. Unlike Zuoyou, she was a character from the MC world, born and raised there. That was her home. He had already told her not to come looking for him if he didn't return, but she just wouldn't listen. Now, things are really complicated here, and Zuoyou is genuinely worried about her safety. Moreover, judging from Shirley's dying words, the Church of Truth seems to have their eyes on her, and they'll definitely take action.

Why is she coming here instead of staying in her perfectly good blocky world?

"Because you're not here, I don't know what to do."

The girl covered her chest and lowered her head. Even though you couldn't see her expression, you could still hear the deep loneliness in her voice.

"It's uncomfortable here."

"Just do what you normally do. You really like traveling, so I even made an umbrella for you."

Sōyū was genuinely worried about this girl. After all, she was one of the few people he cared about, and she was someone he had lived with for many years. It was absolutely impossible for him to be indifferent to her safety.

"I feel empty and have lost interest in doing anything."

The girl kept her head down, as if she dared not look at Sōyū's face. However, she seemed to have thought of something and disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she had a strange object in her hand.

"Also, the reason I came here is to deliver something to you, since you still have something left in the End of the World." Holding up the thing that looked like a gray-shelled goose egg, the girl's voice was full of anticipation, as if she was waiting for Saya to praise her.

"No, you mean you were watching me fight the dragon? Didn't I tell you it was dangerous there and not to go?" Zuo You covered his face when he saw the dragon egg in her hand. It was good that she was able to find this thing for him, but there was no need for him to come along with her.

"I never said I agreed." Seeing that Sōyū still looked angry, the girl with the pumpkin head turned her head away, clearly speechless because she knew she was in the wrong.

"Hiss, phew, never mind, just tell me one thing, can you still go back?" Zuoyou covered his face. Normally, a normal Xiao Hei wouldn't be able to teleport across dimensions, but the problem is that this girl isn't a normal Xiao Hei. When Zuoyou went to the lower realm, she bet that she could go directly from the main world without using a portal.

"No, I can't, I can't sense my previous location anymore." wihl

The girl's voice was pitifully soft, but when it reached Saya's ears, it only gave him a bigger headache.

"So you'll be following me from now on, understand? This world is too unfamiliar to you. First of all, you have to promise me the first thing: unless there are special circumstances, you must never show your teleportation ability in front of other people."

"I know you don't like the feeling of walking. But it's a necessity for living in this world."

Zuoyou covered his face and made a three-point agreement with this guy. Since she couldn't go back, he definitely couldn't just abandon her. He could only do his best to protect her.

"Gu, will this be enough for me to live with you again?"

The girl raised her head. There wasn't much difficulty in her tone.

"No, and there's that pumpkin head of yours too. We need to figure out a way to get it off. Unless someone's brain is fried, nobody in this world usually carries one."

Sōyū shook his head and stated a condition that was the most difficult for the girl to accept.

Chapter 290 You dare to be mean to me?

"don't want.

This was the only thing the girl absolutely could not accept. She covered her head with the pumpkin head, shrinking back completely. The pumpkin was like something incredibly precious to her, which she clutched tightly, as if removing it would be the death of her.

"You weren't wearing this thing when I gave it to you, were you? How did you get used to wearing it?"

Sawa clearly remembered that when he first met this girl, she was just a short, dark-skinned girl with nothing messy about her. Apart from not letting people look into her eyes, he could theoretically look at her face.

Ever since he gave her that pumpkin head, she's treated it like a precious treasure, wearing it on her head without ever taking it off. In the world of Minecraft, wearing a pumpkin on your head is normal, even wearing a torch on your head is perfectly acceptable, but it's different here. Sooner or later, people will become suspicious, and she won't be able to live a normal life anymore.

"I like it this way. I don't want to talk to anyone else, and I don't want anyone else to see what I look like. It's fine as it is." But the girl in front of him seemed completely deaf to what Saya was saying, her head bobbing like a rattle-drum, refusing to do anything like that.

"Can't I even take a look?"

Sōyū looked at Waka with a serious expression, like a father looking at his rebellious daughter, his eyes filled with an indescribable feeling. "No."

The girl with the pumpkin head immediately refused, but her hand instinctively grabbed Zuo You's wrist, as if afraid he would get angry. Zuo You, however, had no intention of indulging her. He directly grabbed the pumpkin head from her head and forcefully pulled it off. He wanted to see what had happened to make her act so pretentious; she clearly didn't like wearing these things before. It couldn't have been a bad habit she picked up from him, right?

"No, Ah You."

The girl struggled against Saya's actions, her small hand hidden in her sleeve pressing down on the pumpkin head on her head. She even called out the name she usually used when she was being affectionate with Saya.

Unfortunately, Sawa is not the type of person who changes his mind easily.

"Sweetie! Let me see!"

Chao Ruo exchanged a glance with the two mechanical maids who had been on standby. The two maids, who were already on the same wavelength as him, quickly moved closer and placed their hands on the girl's shoulders, one on each side.

"Boom~"

The sound, like a beer bottle being opened, came from above the girl's head. Saya finally removed the pumpkin head that had been covering her head.

"Hmm, 7-1..."

The moment the pumpkin head was removed, the girl's low, muffled voice, as if suppressing her anger, rang out, as if something taboo had been touched. Even her eyes, which were like the highest grade of rubies, flashed with a red light.

Are you trying to throw a tantrum at me?

This commotion would have scared anyone else half to death, but Sōyū simply put his hands on his hips, glared at the girl, and said...

The gurgling sound, which had just been filled with furious rage and seemed to radiate murderous intent, vanished instantly. The girl quickly lowered her head, covered her face with her sleeve, and even the red light in her eyes disappeared in an instant.

A hesitant voice came from under the sleeve, sounding both aggrieved and somewhat resigned.

"I've told you so many times, my hobby is definitely not square. Also, I didn't mind that your eyes were a different color from the other little black girls, so do you think I would care about this?" With a bit of force, he pried her hands off her face, and Zuoyou was finally able to see clearly what her face looked like.

Contrary to what Zuoyou had imagined—a small, dark-faced girl—after removing the pumpkin head, apart from her excessively rosy and bright eyes, she looked much like an ordinary girl.

If I had to say something, I'd say she's quite good-looking.

Her fair, oval face was barely the size of Sayu's Tomoe Schoolboy, but her bright red eyes were as clear as two pools of spring water. Her waterfall-like black hair cascaded to her waist, and her neat bangs perfectly framed her willow-leaf eyebrows. Sayu finally understood what she meant by saying he looked unrecognizable. If she were dressed as a normal girl, Sayu would never recognize her as the same dark-skinned girl who usually stayed home watching him farm and mine. This species has changed! Tears welled in her bright red eyes; the girl's pitiful expression resembled that of a puppy about to be abandoned by Sayu.

"It's fine, but when are you going to change that habit of hitting people whenever they look at your face?" Zuo You lowered his head and looked at her little fists waving in front of his chest like drums. Only at times like this could he realize that this girl was still an Enderman after all.

"Then don't watch it!"

The girl, who wanted to take the pumpkin head that Zuoyou had just put away back, started to cry, her little fists pounding uncontrollably on his chest.

"You really can't wear that here. Why don't you try sunglasses and a mask?"

Sōyū covered his face in annoyance. After struggling with the decision for a long time, he couldn't resist the girl's persistent nagging and could only take another pumpkin and put it on her head.

"what is that?"

The girl, who had put her pumpkin head back on, visibly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against Saya, complaining to him in a low voice.

"Well, it's still something to cover your face and eyes, to ensure that no one can see what you look like, okay?" Zuoyou explained to her while covering his head. If it were a mask and sunglasses instead, although people might still have a little doubt, at least it wouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble.

After all, quite a few people wear this. At most, they might be mistaken for celebrities or idols.

It depends on whether she can accept it; otherwise, Zuoyou will have to find a way to keep her at home the whole time and not let her go out.

Wearing a pumpkin-shaped head out in public, as if every day is Halloween?

"If I don't do this, I can't follow you, Ayou?"

The girl lowered her head and looked at her toes, as if she were going through a great internal struggle.

"Ayu? Saya-kun, when did you start using that nickname?"

Kaguya, who had just hurriedly gotten off the car, happened to hear this ambiguous-sounding address. After giving a cold laugh, she looked at the girl who had become wary of her arrival and shrank behind her.

Chapter 291 The Visitors Are Not Friendly

"Don't be afraid, this is my friend, Kaguya Hazaki, not a stranger. You don't need to be so afraid of her."
